Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Xia Ya dreamed of the first encounter with Hathaway in the knowledge city many years ago.

"Whether it is completing the courses in the Black Tower or studying arcane knowledge, a large amount of money and resources are required."

"To be honest, we don't like such rules either, but the cost of training a wizard is indeed a bit high -"

"For civilians without family support, it may be better to join the imperial military or join the nobles' alliance, obtain the pet beast cubs they can produce on a large scale, and become an official beastmaster. s Choice."

Outside of the majestic tower, the guards also had a little helplessness in their words.

The wizards in the Black Tower are arrogant.

This kind of arrogance is not an expression of contempt for others like the nouveau riche, but comes from the arrogance in the bones.

They look down on reckless melee warriors who fight and kill at the slightest disagreement, and look down on believers whose power comes from the gods rather than their own bodies... In other words, they have a faint sense of superiority towards everyone except wizards.

This arrogance has nothing to do with the status of the other party.

Even the most powerful aristocrats in the vassal alliance were once criticized by Black Tower as "Young Master is eager for success, lacks the most basic respect for truth and arcana, and lacks the heart of seeking that a sage should have." The argument that it would be better to find another way out" was met with dismay.

You must have sufficient resources and wealth to conduct magic experiments, you must also have a thirst for arcana and truth, and you must have the pursuit of a sage.

Most of the noble descendants who are eager to enter the Black Tower are blocked from the second item.

Only Xia rarely met the second requirement, but failed in the first one.

However, despite such a strict threshold, there is still an endless stream of students rushing to the main tower of the Black Tower from all over the Western Continent every day.

As for the reason, it’s actually very simple——

No matter how powerful the empire, the Holy Theocracy, and the alliance of princes are, they are only countries established in the Fourth Age.

As for some secret organizations and angel families, they are a little earlier, but they only emerged in the third era.

Only the extremely dark tower——

Let the eras change, the dynasties change, and the gods shed blood.

From the battle of angels to the arrival of the saint, from the desolate land to the opening of the divine calendar...

The wizard has been defeated several times, but he has always stood firm.

From the birth of the Second Age to the present, it has been guarding the spark of order and civilization for a long time.

…

"Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be so easy."

"In other words, do you still have to spend some time saving money..."

"Although I have thought about ways to make money, the step of accumulating initial capital is quite troublesome. If it takes too much time, it may disrupt the original plan."

The black-haired boy politely thanked the black tower guard, but glanced behind him with nostalgia from the corner of his eye.

The dark tower stands majestically, soaring into the sky.

On the square outside the Black Tower, there is an obelisk standing majestically.

The red-gold ancient Aramaic handwriting was engraved on the obelisk——

"The stars are deep in the prescription for truth and destination."

This is the creed of the Black Tower.

This is also the reason why Char tried his best to take Aurora into the black tower to study.

Although he has the memory of being a time traveler, he knows very well that different worlds have different laws and rules.

On the Western Continent, there are extraordinary creatures, there are legends of demihuman races and giant dragons, there are spiritual powers, there are so-called mysteries, there are magic factors wandering in the atmosphere... All of these are the place where Char was in his previous life. Things that the world has never had before require time to become familiar with and understand.

Perfectly adapt the advanced idea of ​​being a time traveler to this world.

In this extraordinary world, the height that an extraordinary person can reach also depends on his or her understanding of this world.

In Xia Ya's view, compared with taking Xiao Ai to join forces in a hurry, contracting pet beasts, or cultivating spiritual power...it is far less important to first learn the knowledge and legal principles of this world and lay a solid foundation. important.

The former reflects only short-term temporary gains, but the latter directly determines the potential for future development.

At this level, neither the empire nor the Theocracy is far from having a continuous inheritance, and it is appropriate for the Black Tower to come, which regards "seeking knowledge and seeking truth" as its creed.

It's just a pity that with the two people's wealth now close to nothing, it is destined not to be that easy to enter the Black Tower to study.

"Let's go"

He took the soft little hand of the little blond girl next to him.

"It just so happened that I sold the hunting bows and spare arrows on consignment at the Hunters Association. I will take you to eat roasted sweet potatoes today."

Perhaps because both of them were born in the North, Airola has always had a special liking for roasted sweet potatoes that are steaming and warm in the palm of their hands.

But this time, she was rare and did not make any move, but still stood there stubbornly.

"Expose my identity and use the compensation from the empire to let you enter the Black Tower School..."

"don't want."

Aurora's proposal was mercilessly rejected by Char as soon as it was spoken.

"Xiao Ai, do you want me to eat the food of a girl two months younger than me?"

"Send the last legitimate daughter of the Ingulite family to the imperial capital, to the hands of aristocratic families and nobles who may have ill intentions towards you at first glance, and may be the masterminds behind Ceylon... in exchange for my role in the underworld. Tuition fees for the tower?”

"I'm not that shameless."

"We can ask the royal family for help..."

"The other sworn families and the great nobles are not good people, but it's hard to say yet whether the rival royal family is good people."

Aurora did not answer, but looked up at the boy's side face with her sky-blue eyes.

Xia Ya sighed and muttered: "Okay, okay, actually, the biggest reason is that I can't let it go."

"We are really going to receive disaster relief from the empire. Then who knows when you grow up, there will be some third prince, fourth prince and the like who will use this favor to form a political marriage... "

"I heard that the heirs of the nobles in the imperial capital are most useful as tools for political marriages. This kind of feudal tradition is unacceptable."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

"Anyway, you promised me back in Ceylon that you would be my beautiful girl for the rest of your life."

"I'm a very domineering person. I've already sworn on my fingers. It's useless for you to regret it now."

Xia Ya couldn't help but put her fur coat on the little girl next to her: "Let's go, the roasted sweet potato shop will close its stall later."

"When our family is rich, we can return to the Black Tower."

Aurora glanced deeply at Char: "Oh."

She tightened the fur coat around her body and obediently placed her little hand on Xia Ya's palm.

Let Xia Ya hold her hand and walk towards the neighborhood not far away.

However, right after.

However, Aurora noticed that Xia's footsteps suddenly stopped and stopped her behind her calmly.

One after another, crystal fragments dispersed in the dusk sky.

A ten thousandth of an instant later, the sky shattered.

Surprisingly, even though there was such a big movement, the surrounding pedestrians always turned a blind eye, as if nothing had happened.

"A traveler who is far away from his hometown?"

The golden elf in a jet-black Gothic dress is suspended in mid-air. She is slender and elegant, and her age cannot be seen.

Her eyes first fell on Aurora behind Char. She was very plain, but she seemed to have the magic power to see through the soul.

Aurora felt the other party's gaze pause slightly on the chess of oath deep in her soul, but quickly and calmly moved away.

It was as if this sacred relic, which represented one-eighth of the power of the empire and attracted legends to flock to it, was completely worthless in her eyes.

Until, the golden elf's eyes followed the hands held by the two and landed on Xia Ya.

The pale golden eyes of Gujing Wubo had just rippled for the first time.

"A homeless person who has lost his place and has nowhere to return to—"

"Obviously I have lost everything, but I have become the support of those around me."

"In order not to worry her, I carefully hid all the cowardice, vulnerability and loneliness in my heart, pretending to be omnipotent."

"It's such a familiar look... almost exactly the same."

The golden elf's voice was a little hoarse.

She looked at the little boy who was blocking Alora behind him and her face was expressionless, and suddenly there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"In that case, if you don't mind it, then just follow me and learn."

"It's not the rigid dogmatism of today's Black Tower..."

"But, the real arcana."

So, from that day on——

Char became the only student of "Eternal Page" Hathaway.

…

The subtle morning light filtered through the window and reflected on Xia Ya's face, bringing a touch of warmth.

Xia Ya opened her eyes and saw that the originally soft and clean big bed next to her was now in a mess, with traces of rolling and folding everywhere.

There was also the looming headache and the feeling of weakness that spread from the trunk to the limbs.

The stormy memory of last night also revived along with Xia Ya's consciousness.

Seeing the bright red stains on the sheets, Xia Ya suddenly recalled that she was dominated by Her Majesty the Queen's "Star Absorbing Technique", "Controlling the Crane and Capturing the Dragon", "Left and Right Fighting" and other martial arts moves last night. fear.

As a beast master who has broken through the boundaries of the throne, although Char is not the type to fight physically, but relying on the physical fitness improved by the feedback from his rank and soul contract, it stands to reason that his physical fitness has already surpassed that of a mortal, comparable to Dragon type.

However, his opponents were even less human than Char.

Just the Queen who has been hungry in the fantasy zone for a thousand years, coupled with the dream-making ability of the succubus royal family, her offensive is no longer like a human.

Thousands of years of attachment and perseverance were all released in this night.

Then, the second appearance of the Blue Silver Witch should not be underestimated.

Burying himself in the cold white tower for five hundred years——

In the darkness and depression, the love that had fermented for hundreds of years alone was released, and its turbulence and intensity were not inferior to Isadella's in the slightest.

Char's Black Tower was constantly being manipulated by Ervia, the Chairman of the White Tower.

Finally, he let the White Tower descend from top to bottom, completely engulfing the Black Tower into the White Tower.

The elites cultivated by the Black Tower were also absorbed and absorbed by the White Tower without mercy.

That is to say, Xiao Ai, who appeared last, felt more sorry for him, and during the ten years in the Garden of Eden, the two had already had a tacit understanding, so Xia Ya had already understood the girl's tricks, and only then did she gain some breathing space. machine.

If not, then Xia Ya might not even be able to straighten her waist now.

Xia Ya lay on the bed for a long time, until the headache and weakness dissipated, and then he sat up.

I finished washing up in the bathroom, then changed the sheets, dressed and went downstairs.

"Good morning, Xiao Ai."

The blond girl poured the milk into glasses of the same style as the two of them and brought it to the dining table: "Good morning, Classmate Char."

Yes, it seems that this girl is still sulking.

I just don’t know whether I’m angry with myself for being the first to jump into the game yesterday, or angry with myself for not having enough fun last night.

Or maybe both.

Char was drinking milk and eating a sandwich, while her eyes fell on the "Camelot Morning News" on the table.

The news on the title page is "Thirteen great nobles in the imperial capital, including many sworn families, have been subject to legal measures on suspicion of rebellion and treason."

It seems that those big nobles will never be able to dance again in the future.

He flipped through the newspaper: "Have Your Majesty and Sylvia left?"

"Yeah, but they said they would come several times a month from now on."

Aurora sat across from the dining table, resting her chin on her hands.

She watched Xia Ya finish the sandwich she had made with an expressionless face, a trace of satisfaction flashed in her beautiful sky-blue eyes.

"hiss……"

Xia Ya felt that her kidneys had phantom pain again: "Isn't this frequency a bit too high?"

"Really, but I feel like Xia Ya is enjoying it a lot."

It wasn't until she watched Char finish the sandwich that Aurora picked up her own portion and took a small bite.

"Pain and happiness, this sentence is a philosophy."

Xia Ya quickly finished flipping through the newspaper, and then his consciousness moved slightly.

An illusory light curtain suddenly appeared in his mind, which was the skill panel of the "Mercury Snake" he had newly contracted.

【The wheel of fate】

[Attributes: time, destiny]

[Rank: Mythical Skill]

[Skill description: Observe the inherent wheel of fate for any matter that exists in the world. 】

[The level of detail in the manifestation of the Wheel of Fortune and the length of time it can be observed are affected by the target's mystery, rank, etc. 】

…

【Fate Review】

[Attributes: Time, Destiny]

[Rank: Mythical Skill]

[Skill Description: Reversal of Fate]

[This skill cannot be used actively, it is a locked passive skill. 】

…

What is the latter one?

Xia Ya couldn't help but be slightly startled.

The first Wheel of Fortune is easy to understand. Just like what he saw used by Mercury Snake before, it is an extremely powerful intelligence technique that is close to the rules level.

You can use God's perspective to view the wheel of destiny held by all things in the world.

Because it is not asking the person, but directly exploring the fate itself, the effectiveness of this skill is only related to the personality of the other person. There is no way to deceive or deceive. Even if the person has lost his memory, he can still control him through the Wheel of Fortune. 's secret.

Of course, it is common for people to be frightened to the point of looking at something they shouldn't, such as when they tried to watch Char's Wheel of Fortune's Mercury Snake.

But this second skill "Fate Recall" is very interesting.

"Reversal of fortune".

According to the literal description, it is somewhat similar to the "Flashback Pocket Watch" that Char exchanged, and the "Izanagi" that was previously used with a one-time experience card.

However, this skill is a passive locking skill and cannot be used actively.

"War Five Snakes, please explain."

Xia Ya's thoughts moved slightly, and she unlocked a corner of the seal in the small black room, and woke up the little mercury snake that was sleeping in the small black room.

The Mercury Snake, who was woken up by Xia Ya, was still a little confused. He just wanted to show off his anger, but under the influence of the master-slave contract, he looked at Xia Ya and became more beautiful.

The little snake spit out the message helplessly: "I am different from those gods who were born from the bottom up, and relied on plundering faith step by step, usurping the throne and divine authority, and just luckily ascended to the throne of God."

"From the moment I became conscious, my body contained the divinity related to destiny."

"Recalling destiny... To be precise, this should be considered my instinct."

Xia Ya frowned: "Don't use me as a title...it sounds old-fashioned, use me."

The mercury snake's tail tensed, but soon relaxed.

It suddenly regretted signing the master-slave contract.

However, after all, this is the investment I chose. It is too late to regret it now, and I can only go to the dark side.

"To put it simply, when fate flows to me... in a direction that I reject and hate, this kind of retrospection will happen from time to time."

Xia Ya frowned slightly: "In other words, time goes back?"

"It's not about going back in time, but it's about restarting a restricted area, right?"

There was also a bit of uncertainty in the words of the Mercury Snake: "But this ability cannot be triggered by me, and I cannot control the exact timing of restarting it."

"Also, sometimes even if I don't want to restart, it will happen forcefully."

"Just like the divine war at the end of the First Age, the broken divinity and authority were everywhere in the star realm and outside the world."

"At that time, I thought about going to the edge of the battlefield to pick up the things that others didn't like, but every time I wanted to put this idea into action, my fate would be forced to restart, and I ended up finding a remote place. "Sleep."

If you are not forced to restart, you will really have to pick up the rags, right?

Speaking of which, you have been shouting "Gu, kill me" before. Are you sure that as long as I really kill you, the restart of destiny will definitely happen?

Xia Ya complained in her heart, her thoughts moved slightly, and she locked Snake, who was about to protest, back into the small dark room.

Although the words spoken by the mercury snake were unclear, and it seemed that he was an illiterate man who didn't know how to study things to gain knowledge, Xia Ya still roughly understood the connotation.

Restarting the state or things that happened in a certain area is not considered reversing time, but is similar to overwriting with a previously saved archive.

Most of the time, the effect is not much different from the Crimson King.

Of course, the reason why Char chose to complete this deal with the Mercury Snake is that these two skills can only be regarded as incidental.

The real purpose——

Still, for my teacher.

Thinking like this, the illusory blue light curtain in Xia Ya's mind also changed according to Xia Ya's mind.
