Chapter 11: Glory Gone

The once sparse yard had begun to flourish under Arthur's care, under Arthur's careful care. Arthur was looking down at the growth of "happiness", that Roland had been dead for two weeks, and the small purple and blue flowers were also growing with great vitality under the nourishment of his pain.

Athena suddenly ran in and said excitedly, "Arthur, I've finished reading my book!"

"Oh," Arthur ramped.

"Let's go borrow books!" Athena continued.

"Wait!" said Arthur casually.

"But, you promised me. Athena said aggrievedly.

"Really? I don't remember. Arthur continued to ignore it.

"You, you!" Athena was speechless, feeling like tears were about to fall, these days, he had allowed himself to do so many shameful things, and now he couldn't even remember.

"Hehe, if you cry, I won't take you there" Athena Arthur, who looked at the red circles in her eyes, no longer teased her, and said happily.

Athena hurriedly held back the tears that were about to break the gate, and said angrily: "You lied to me again!"

But just as they were about to go out after changing their clothes, an eagle chirped across the sky. Arthur's face sank and he sighed, "Athena, it seems that we can only wait for next time!"

Looking at the letter taken from the talon, Arthur frowned slightly, and Hyde hurriedly beckoned himself over. I hadn't seen Hyde since I first came to Saint-Rolle to see him once, except for a box of things as a thank you. This is also the rule, unless the subordinates are in a hurry, they cannot take the initiative to see the superiors, which is also determined by the nature of the thieves' union. But this time, Hyde took the initiative to recruit himself over, I'm afraid there was something urgent.

Soon, Kim and Kaye and Mark are all at Arthur's cabin. Both Kim and Kaye have changed a lot, and the experiences of these days have made them both mature a lot, especially Kaye, who is a lot quieter. And Mark is completely proud, although he is only the vice president, Arthur does not care too much about the affairs of the union, which makes his rights and hopes fully satisfied. Arthur first asks Mark, after all, he has been with Hyde for a few years, but Mark doesn't know much about these either.

"Alright then, Mark, you stay here to watch the house, I'll take Kim and Kaye on a trip, you can help me prepare some gifts, McGee left a few paintings, don't you have a few paintings? Arthur confessed casually.

"Yes, President. Mark said respectfully, he was glad to be with Kim and Kaye today, it proved that Arthur was already a close confidant.

"Can I go?" Arthur," Athena asked expectantly.

Arthur thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together." Athena cheered and hugged Arthur and kissed her.

"Can I not go, then?" said Kaye next to him.

Arthur frowned and said, "No. "Oh," Kaye said feebly.

Kim leaned on the edge of the table, looking like he was watching a show.

Arthur glared at him and said to Kaye, "You all have to go." Then he ignored the disappointed Kaye and the excited Athena.

"Do you need to bring someone? I have a few good candidates in my hand," Jin said calmly, and his selection has been quite effective during this period of time.

"No, just a few of us, Mark, I'll cast a spell in the backyard later, and don't let people get near here while I'm away," Arthur said after a moment's thought.

In the backyard, tall thorns grew rapidly under the influence of magic, covering almost the entire courtyard. The viewer cannot but marvel at the magic of magical power.

The black carriage was already waiting, and King was driving, and Arthur and Kaye and Athena were sitting in the carriage. Hyde's carriage had been returned to him. This car is Mackay's legacy, the original luxurious decoration has been removed by Arthur's order, from gold to black, and the white horse driving has also been replaced with a black horse, which is in line with Arthur's taste, but the car still maintains the original comfort and luxury, and the wine cabinet is placed in the wine cabinet. Even all kinds of daily necessities are available.

At this time, Arthur was lying comfortably on Athena's plump lap, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep. Athena reads a heroic epic called "The Glory of Immortality" to Arthur. Before the invention of paper, expensive animal skins were the only recorders of history, which limited the length of the text, and the fact that the recorders were often not serious scholars but romantic poets, made it even more difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood in the already confusing history, and these people were more particular about rhyme than truth. It's entirely possible to add or subtract something for the sake of a rhyme. Now Arthur can only listen to it as a story, but combined with the memories of Quincy seen in the soul mask, Arthur still has a lot of inspiration.

"On the day the gods are gone, the souls of the heroes pass away.

The demon king can't take away the bonds!

Whoever ascends to heaven and who enters the earth will endure forever

In one thought, it becomes a boundary."

Arthur muttered these words softly, which seemed to have a deep meaning, but there was an inexplicable reason.

The "gods" understand very well that the "demon king" should refer to those abyss lords, and the "power of the realm" is a powerful restriction formed by the agreement of all gods and demons not to enter the main material realm with their true bodies. What do the "heavens," "earth," and "eternal existence" mean? Have the "heroic souls" of those ancient heroes really disappeared?

Arthur was puzzled, now he could see too little in Quincy's soul mask, and Quincy only seemed to retain memories related to power, battles, spells, although Arthur also benefited a lot from it, but to further pursue the truth of that era, it was not something he could do. Maybe you'll get the rest of Quincy's suit to figure it out.

In fact, as the main part of Quincy's suit, the soul can feel the existence of other duties when it whispers. The big problem now is that Arthur simply doesn't have the ability to look for the rest of these suits. Nearly all legendary weapons are kept in powerful organizations, ancient families, distant temples, vast kingdoms, and even dragons' lairs. And it's not much easier to get a legendary weapon from these organizations than it is to get something from a dragon's treasure vault. So for Arthur, this is just a hope, and there is no idea to implement it yet.

Arthur said secretly: But one day, I will find other parts, gain great power, and regain the glory of Goode, which is also the pride of being a time-traveler. But another voice immediately appeared in my heart: Don't be stupid, what glory, what pride, you are just an ordinary person, don't wear a cross, just drag the two hundred and fifty eighty thousand, I don't know what my surname is, honestly grasp the moment is serious!

Arthur secretly sighed: Since he got the soul whispering mask, he has a bit of a schizophrenic tendency, but it is in this kind of confrontation between thoughts that he can understand the real self.

Thinking so, Arthur took Athena into his arms, and his hand had reached in to grasp the soft and straight breasts, gently caressing, and kneading the red beans on the top from time to time. Didn't care about Kaye on the other side. Athena screamed and buried herself in Arthur's arms, her face was already red, but she did not resist and let Arthur do it, silently enduring the pleasure that made her feel hot.

At this time, it was already late autumn, and the cool wind kept pouring in through the car window, occasionally bringing in a fallen leaf, Kaye looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, occasionally glanced at Arthur and Athena, who were tired of being together, and immediately turned his head away, thoughtfully.

The paper was invented by an unlucky alchemy apprentice. Because of his low strength and the fact that he could only make some messy things, his teacher angrily kicked him out of the mage tower, and the poor apprentice lived by inventing some gadgets, but at that time ordinary people were very afraid and disgusted with powerful mages, and he could only be disgusted with him, he was driven from countless towns and villages, but he still stubbornly refused to give up his love for those gadgets.

Later, it is said that when he was dying of starvation, he received the help of the god of art to spread his inventions throughout the world of de Grasse. Paper, glass, and sound recording stones were all his inventions, while others such as waterwheels and flying machines were all inspired by him. Historians have praised him for his ability to always consider the needs of ordinary people, but his last words when he lost his life in a flight test were: "This is really exciting!"

In his lifetime, his level never reached level six, but a group of alchemists of more than a dozen levels regarded him as a teacher and studied with him. "Erudition" was once the best thing people could say about an alchemist, but he proved to the world that for an alchemist, imagination is more important than knowledge and power.

Because of the efforts of Fa Xiu, many new art forms have been formed: long novels that people don't want to read, complicated historical documents, beautiful and mysterious glass paintings, etc., ------------ god of art has gained new strength.

When a megalithic statue destroys a city, paper carries a psalm throughout the world.

When the names of many "powerful" mages are forgotten by history, his name will be remembered forever.

Fa Xiu, this hapless little mage.

Excerpt from "Fa Xiu & Stambit – The Greatest Alchemy

Division》

Originally, I also thought about letting the protagonist make paper and cow, but in an era when magic technology can make people fly to the sky, and there is a real need, if an item similar to paper has not been invented for tens of thousands of years, it would be too fake. To be honest, this alchemist would like to write a short story about Fa Xiu, but he doesn't have time to forget it. But this character will exist as an important background figure, and I hope no one will say anything. Khan! Looks like he's got together a lot.
