Chapter 182: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

"What's the situation?"

Kevin looked left and right, and infrared vision found no signs of life on the surface. On the other side of the mechanical fortress, there are many frightening heat responses, especially a giant quadruped, which is the most eye-catching. He rubbed his eyes and saw that it was not a delusion.

Are they aliens? Earthlings are dead? Kevin was amazed at his sudden brain hole.

"Don't think about it. There were no aliens, most of them were in hiding. ”

The man sensed Kevin's thoughts, and he was also searching for signs of life, but using his supernatural powers to probe the vast sea of thoughts on the entire earth. As usual, except for the center of the earth, which should be able to perceive thoughts, all other thoughts were perceived by him. After sorting it out, he came to a general conclusion - there were heavy casualties, but not to the point of death. There are no people on the ground because most ordinary people have taken refuge in underground spaces such as air defense facilities.

However, to his surprise, the defense forces guarding the entrance were not only the overwhelming majority of the army, but also the occasional wizard. And it is not only ordinary people who are protected, but also a considerable number of magical creatures, including some humanoid intelligent races.

What's even more absurd is that these flying machines in the air, as well as the big guy that can be called a fortress of war, should be a product of the technological society, but their pilots are all wizards. Moreover, the means of attack they use are not conventional bullets and shells, but magic and defensive means launched by machinery, and magic shields built through machinery.

This is an era of technology and magic, and this is an era of war. It's hard to imagine that just two years ago, technology and magic were so closely intertwined. You know, even those drivers don't understand how these machines work.

They only know how to drive, they only know how to input magic little by little, let the machine automatically turn it into powerful magic, and finally, they understand one thing - the ejection mechanism of the machine can allow it to activate the illusion shift and move the driver to safety a moment before it is destroyed. They are not as brave as ordinary soldiers, and they are able to fight bravely, thanks to this last point.

The time is too short, under normal circumstances, the two societies merge with each other, and then develop such a comprehensive technology and magic chimera technology, it should not be so fast. On the other hand, more than two years have passed since the global incident that the man inadvertently caused, and the wizarding world and the technological society are still in initial contact. And that's the normal situation.

The reason is not difficult to find, and when he once again used his supernatural powers to sweep the entire earth, the man understood. The problem was with the Death Eaters, and, with them, the men found more than that.

He used his magic powers to reach out to the war fortress, and the main control room inside, the one in charge of controlling the fortress was the group of undead teachers in Ugadu. In front of the main console, there stood two of his acquaintances, one was the headmaster of Ugadou, and the other was the child he sent to Ugadou, the druid. The former, is the designer of the fortress. The latter is the power source used by the fortress to protect and attack.

The man smiled, this old guy can still make such a complicated thing, it seems that he was stimulated miserably. As soon as his mind moved, the space where the three of them were suddenly distorted, and in the next second, they appeared next to the druid and Principal Ugadou.

"Kevin?"

The principal looked surprised, but even more surprised was Kevin, because he didn't know the old man in front of him at all, and the most important thing was that he didn't realize that before he saw the principal and the people in different costumes around him, he didn't realize that in this place, in addition to the strange-looking giant lion beside him, there were other lives.

"How do you know about me?"

Kevin's current appearance is quite different from his appearance at the beginning of this experience. It was an unexpected change after devouring the dragon's blood. It stands to reason that a person who doesn't know him in the first place, even if he has seen his previous appearance, will most likely not recognize his current self. What's going on?

The headmaster's face became even more strange: "What are you talking about? Shouldn't you be in the European theater now?"

"Huh?" Kevin was dumbfounded.

The headmaster looked suspicious, and he looked at the other two.

"You...... Are you an undead spirit?" he glanced the old man up and down, suddenly becoming suspicious, "You are the dragon god?"

"Hey, it's hard to remember that. ”

In the man's lost confidence, the old man unexpectedly found it back at the principal's place, and was naturally pleasantly surprised.

"Are you here, what's the matter?"

The headmaster's respectful attitude made the old man very useful, and he straightened his waist with a smile.

"Ahem, I haven't asked about the world for the past two years, let's talk about what happened in the outside world. ”

"Okay. The principal had just answered, and was organizing the wording, when he suddenly saw a blonde man accompanying him, who was tinkering with a vacant computer not far away, and his expression changed, "Stop, what are you doing?!"

As he spoke, he threw out a spell, ready to control the blonde man first. However, a cloud of golden flames suddenly appeared around the blonde man, which not only blocked the spell, but also made him stunned on the spot.

"Who are you?!"

"Headmaster. The giant lion on the side changed into a young man, looking at the man, he could see the familiar rays of light, "He is a scholar." ”

"How many years has it been a druid, and it's rare to see it in this era!" the old man's attention turned to the boy again.

At this time, the principal looked at Kevin with a suspicious expression, and forgot what the old man had explained, only looked at the man in a daze, watched him manipulate the computer, watched him print out a pile of paper with ease, and watched him walk to his side.

"Kevin. "We have to go." ”

"Where are you going?" Kevin at this time, his head was full of mush.

"Back two years ago. ”

"Are we going to change history?" Kevin's eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had figured it out.

"History cannot be changed. ”

The headmaster subconsciously retorted, but when it came to the back, his voice became smaller and quieter when he saw the man who could always make incredible moves.

"That's right, as strong as the elven royal family or the dragon god, it can't change history. The old man ended the small talk with the young man, participated, and affirmed, "The past is the words that fall on the paper, and the future is the shadow of a candle swaying in the wind." One is unchanging, the other is uncertain, this is an iron law, and no one can change it. The old man looked at the man and shook his head, he finally found an opportunity to pull it back.

"Did I say that I want to change history?" the man said, which directly froze the old man, "I'm just taking Kevin back in time and letting him participate in the history of these two years." ”

"When you say that, I'm getting more and more confused. Kevin said.

The man shook his head: "Let's go back in time, which is part of history in itself. Kevin, don't dwell on what you're seeing now, for you, it's going to happen in two years' time. ”

"So, I am on the battlefield in Europe now, and I am two years later?" Kevin's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly understood, "You are now on the battlefield in Europe after two years?"

"Nope. ”

Kevin tried to draw inferences, but as soon as he drew an example, he was rejected by the man, and then he sorted out his head, and he was confused again.

"Why is that?"

"For I am not affected by time, not in the past, not in the future, but only in the here and now. In short, I'm an exception. ”

This point, long before Kevin thought about it, men had done experiments. It turned out that in the past, he was just an empty shell, without the drop of glass blood, the ray of light, and the consciousness of the self. Just like a toy gun, no matter how realistic it is, it is only superficial, and there is no complex structure inside the real firearm. And in the future, it will be even more illusory, it will be just a projection without a substance. Perhaps the ten thousand laws of the light of creation are not violated, and these ten thousand laws also include the power of time. Men can only give such explanations in the end.

"Okay. ”

Unlike other people, who all looked different when they heard what the man said, Kevin didn't dwell too much on this issue. can go back to the past and throw all these strange things in front of him to his future self, at this time, his first thought is to meet his girlfriend who has been absent for a long time. Although, in the eyes of the other party, he may have only been gone for a short time.

"What about you?" the man turned to look at the old man again, "don't you want to miss what has happened in the past two years? ”

"Hmm......" the old man hesitated, "Is there any way you can know if I have ...... now?"

The old man didn't finish, but the man already understood what he meant.

"That continent is in a separate space, and I can't sense it. However, I can tell you unequivocally that if I had fulfilled my promise before this, people would know about your existence now. ”

"Isn't there only one here?" the old man smiled and patted the headmaster on the shoulder, "Then I should go back." ”

"No, I know you, it's all because I know a little bit of ancient history. The Headmaster explained with sincere trepidation, "Before today, I didn't know you existed. ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Then forget it, I could wait before, but now I can't wait." In the past two years, I have not experienced it myself. ”

"Okay. ”

The man casually responded. According to his plan, there are still a lot of things to do next, two years is not enough, and the day when the old man fulfills his promise will only be later than now. Therefore, whether the old man goes back or not, no one will know about his existence now. How to choose the old man, that's his business, the man himself has to be busy, and the question is just out of the least respect, just casually asking.

"Then let's go. The man slapped Kevin on the shoulder with one hand.

The principal was anxious: "Wait!"

The man saw what he was thinking and shook his head, "I've told McGonagall what to say, and I'm sure she's told you all about it." Instead of worrying about what I'm going to do, keep an eye on the last bit of Death Eaters in this mansion. On the European side, the battle is over. Don't be like them in the past, defeating the main forces of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, but letting go of some remnants. ”

After saying that, without a trace of signs, the man and Kevin disappeared in an instant.

In a space-time tunnel.

"How do you define the past and the future? It is said that the past cannot be changed, but the future can. But if I go back to the past, isn't that the world just now the future for me?" Kevin frowned, "Isn't that a contradiction?"

"It's rare for you to think like that. The man smiled, "Time has no frame of reference. For the universe as a whole, now, not on us, but at the point in time we are just in. For you personally, the so-called past, present, and future are nothing more than an intuition, and the laws of the universe are often contrary to personal intuition. ”
