Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

The Kutar family is a family of dark magic. Anyone who inherits the name of Kutar will become an excellent dark magician.

And this is just the outside world's impression of this family.

In fact, people in the family have been studying and learning black magic from generation to generation, just to continue a ritual.

An ancient ritual.

"Every person in power must go through this ceremony before taking over. The elders said that this is the blessing of the first generation of people in power."

My eldest brother in my memory once said this.

“But is this really a blessing…”

Krillin once whispered this.

In addition to saying that "the ceremony is a blessing", the elder also said something else.

For example, after each person in power takes over, their temperament changes drastically, and they become as calm and reliable as the first generation.

In their memories, my father has always been 'calm and reliable', but the elders said that my father was not like this before he took over.

Similarly, there is the grandfather who has never been seen, who is also a typical person in power.

"No matter what, this day is finally here." The eldest brother stood in the morning light. His eyebrows and eyes were still gentle at that time. They were still very similar at that time. "After I take over, you don't have to hide yourself anymore, Klin, you can use magic freely."

“In that case, I will be looking forward to it.”

Krillin put one hand behind his back, this was the servant etiquette he was taught since childhood.

On the hand behind him, he wore a pitch-black ring that could convert his magic power... into dark attribute.

……

……

After the ceremony, Xixiu officially became the new head of the Kutar family, and on the same day, their father died.

The body of the former ruler was placed in the back hall, the ceremony for the new ruler was held in the front hall, and the celebration and funeral were held at the same time. Although it sounded extremely absurd, it was common sense for the Coutard family.

Because in the past few hundred years, every time a new family head was born, the old family head would die. No one would explore the reason, and the elders explained it as the "blessing of the first generation."

Is this really a blessing?

Kling couldn't understand the question.

But at least... my father's death will not make him sad.

Because my father has always been a competent person in power, exuding an ancient and stale atmosphere, cold and distant, and never like a father.

Would my brother be sad? Perhaps not, because since he took over, he has also been just as the elders said...

His temperament has changed drastically.

There was no warmth in his eyes, and his breath was cold and ancient, but it made Klin feel familiar, as if he saw a second father.

Klin kept looking for the shadow of Xixiu's past in Xixiu.

The more he searched, the more certain he became.

My elder brother is like my father, my father is like my grandfather, and every person in power is like that first generation.

It seems that they are the first generation.

Just as he sneaked into the back hall that day and saw his deceased father, he was just an empty shell without a soul.

……

……

The thought of trial can come up in just a moment.

"This is?"

That day, Xi Xiu stopped his work and looked at the black ring in front of him.

Krillin was standing a few steps ahead, but the distance between them seemed particularly far.

At that time, his expression was probably very stiff, but he still showed a fake smile.

"I found it while sorting out old things, and then I remembered that it belonged to my brother, so... I came to return it."

Xi Xiu only took a quick look at it and put it into the drawer. In his eyes, it was just an ordinary magic ring.

"Keep these little things for yourself from now on."

"Yes."

Klin looked deeply at his brother. He realized more clearly than ever...

The person in front of you.

It's no longer Western Xiu.

……

……

The Kutar family is a family of dark magic. Anyone who inherits the name of Kutar will become an excellent dark magician.

Everyone who inherits the name of Kutar must be a dark magician.

Because children who do not have dark attributes will die in the cradle.

Krillin wasn't supposed to survive.

He is a light magician who is absolutely incompatible with black magic.

But fortunately, his brother discovered the fact first and kept the secret for him.

Relying on the privileges of the next person in power and my father's indifference to them, he succeeded in not arousing any suspicion from anyone.

Normally, Krillin would wear a ring that transformed his magic properties to hide his magical aura.

In the eyes of the elders, he is a freak second son who only likes to practice attributeless magic. He and Xixiu guard this secret together. Xixiu even has a naive dream of letting him use magic freely.

But now, it seems that only he knows this secret.

……

……

After losing the ring, he may have really gained a brief period of freedom.

But this kind of freedom frightened him.

So he put on a new ring.

……

……

Krillin is not dead.

Evie thought she was going crazy.

Perhaps the complicated information confused her mind, and she actually suggested that Klin join them and work together to find a way to kill Xixiu.

Krillin seemed to be going crazy too.

Because he actually agreed.

It was really strange that they were walking on the same road with the enemy they were fighting fiercely just now.

"teacher."

After thinking about it, Tokieda decided to use a safe name for this new teammate.

"What does he plan to do by taking the Sage's Heart all by himself?"

They couldn't understand why Xi Xiu did this, it was just because his employer, Shi Yan, was thrown outside by him to be attacked by the head of the Shi family.

"He got a bit of Ivy's soul, which is enough to forcibly open the Sage's Heart."

Klin calmly delivered the shocking news.

"He... also wants to go back to the past?" Shi Zhimeng asked hesitantly.

Ivy pricked up her ears and listened silently. The last time they talked about this part, her reliable teammates came to rescue her.

Teacher Klin said that Xixiu hated time the most.

She also wanted to know why.

"What is in his favor is always the future."

"He probably wants to throw everyone into the vortex of time and annihilate them. That way, no one will disturb the world anymore."

Shi Zhimeng frowned: "Everyone...? This is not a simple matter. As long as the long river of time can lock on to a helmsman, the node of history will not regress endlessly."

"It's very simple." Klin said, "As long as the person at the helm can survive longer than everyone present, it will be enough to annihilate everyone when the situation goes backwards."

soul……

Ivy didn't feel like she was missing anything.

Especially something as intangible as the soul, which was just missing a wisp and could not bring her any intuitive feeling.

Looking at Mr. Krillin's relaxed and calm appearance, he didn't seem to care at all about the crisis that the world could restart at any time.

“If we force it open, the effect won’t be good.” Ivy guessed.

Klin did not deny: "If there is a key, who would be willing to 'pick the lock', haha..."

Forcing it to open will definitely cause unknown hidden dangers.

In that case, they still have time.
