Tyrant Code

Goldo thought that Atrichia would be somewhat shocked to hear that her disciple was actually proficient in black arts.Of course, what he didn't expect was that Yatricia ignored him indifferently, even before accepting him as a student, Yatrixia had already noticed it.

"Remember that forest?" Atricia said, "the time we teamed up against Leighton."

Gordon nodded: "Of course I remember."

"...Actually, at that time, I already sensed that someone was using black magic in the forest." Atricia took a light breath, and gently rubbed her forehead with her knuckles, as if Claudius forcibly occupied his Consciousness put a lot of pressure on his spirit, "I wasn't sure who it was at first. Until I saw you when I was chasing Layton—"

"Although we have only met face to face, I know you are not aggressive." Atarixia analyzed, "At that time, most people withdrew from the woods with limited perspective and returned to the camp to gather. You are a lord Young master of the family, there is no need to risk your life to chase the assassin. The only explanation is that your purpose of using black magic is self-defense, and you happened to be met by Layton, or it was Layton who attacked you... Your black magic is exposed That's why you have to kill him."

Goldo: "..."

Gordon fell silent.

Atricia lowered her gaze, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly: "Coupled with Layton's hints before his death, if I still can't understand, then I won't be able to live until now."

Gordon was a little speechless, but he still said: "Then you still accept me as a student?"

Aren't you afraid of being implicated by a dark wizard?

"At the beginning, I just wanted to be a superficial teacher and student with you." Atricia glanced at Gordon, "Teach you some etiquette and grammar. But then I found out that you also have the talent for light magic, so the situation is different ... I am also a teacher, and a unique gifted student who is double-departmental is placed in front of me, saying that I don’t want to teach anything, that is a lie.”

Goldo: "...don't you discriminate against dark wizards?"

Asking this sentence subconsciously, Gordon felt that his question was a bit redundant.

There is the consciousness of Claudius in the sea of ​​souls of Atricia.The Emperor of Radiance himself has a close friend who is a dark wizard.If Atricia learned a lot from Claudius, then naturally some of Claudius' views on dark wizards would also be tainted.

"I don't think black wizards are not qualified to live." As Gordon expected, Atrium said, "I am also more inclined to the people's understanding of black magic in ancient times. This is just a way and light Magic is a different discipline, and black wizards have only gone to a different magical path from priests. As for black wizards, they must be unforgivable sinners, which is even more ridiculous-I have seen enough ugly faces of priests, If the Holy Lord had a spirit, those guys should not have continued to breathe in the world."

Goldo: "..." The teacher is still as venomous as ever.

In fact, Goldo has not met many dark wizards in his life, only Julian and Rhine for the time being.Now one of them is obsessed with farming, and the other is simply a fool.Compared to the Bright Vatican, where the internal strife is serious and you kill me and you kill you, the faces of these dark wizards are much cuter.

Of course, it is obviously impossible to say that all dark wizards are kind-hearted people.

Just from Goldo's personal point of view, he is still very fortunate that Atrium has no prejudice against black magic.

"Of course. The reason that really impresses me and let me accept you as a student is neither your father's invitation to form an alliance, nor your bright talent that has not been revealed at that time," Attricia said, "but you As a pampered and pampered son of aristocrats, you act decisively when encountering a crisis. You have neither shown unnecessary panic nor dragged your feet in the slightest, and you seem to have no ambitions. Such a person is destined to live a long time."

Goldo: "..." Although the adjective without ambition is very accurate, you don't need to add it in this case.

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.But the conversation with Atrium also reminded him of something odd.

"... At that time, I heard some of the conversation between you and Layton." Gordon said while recalling, "You said, they are obsessed with creating 'false gods'-what do you mean? ?”

Yatricia stared at him: "You remember too clearly."

Goldo: "Actually, I've always been curious. It's just that you didn't want to mention it, so I didn't ask more."

Atrium: "Now I don't want to mention it, but I have to. Their plan is directly related to the crystal skull you fused." He sighed and continued, "You know those magic masters in ancient times were called What are you doing?"

"Sages." Goldo answered fluently, "because they contributed immortal spirit."

"But this 'immortal spirit', besides the superficial meaning, actually has a deeper meaning." Atrium pointed to his head, "The consciousness of the 'sage' can really immortal."

Goldo: "...like Julian and Claudius?"

"After practicing magic to a certain level, you can open the sea of ​​souls. Some people can even materialize the sea of ​​souls, store their consciousness in the sea of ​​souls, and completely break free from the shackles of the body on the soul. And the physical body of the sea of ​​souls The transformed form is the Crystal Skull—this kind of existence residing on the Crystal Skull, we call it a 'sage'."

"Because the 'sage' has transcended the mundane, immortal, and symbolizes infinite time and ancient accumulation. And the 'sage' is often guided by the 'sage'. When the successor of the skull is going to die , will become the next 'sage' kept in the crystal skull, and the last 'sage' will be able to get rid of eternity and embark on the road of rebirth."

Goldo: "..." In short, the soul residing in this crystal skull will continue to be renewed.

But in this way, there is indeed a direct consequence - everything learned by the previous generation of sages can be inherited by the next generation of sages.Such gradual accumulation can most effectively guarantee the inheritance of knowledge.

... Although this method of inheritance is too hard-core, each soul is worthy of the title of "sage".

Gordon suddenly thought of something, and asked, "But who was the first to materialize the sea of ​​souls?"

Imprisoning one's soul in a skull... The first generation of "sages" is really ruthless.

"I don't know. The earliest traces of 'sages' that we can find now also come from the Age of Miracles. How can one substantiate one's sea of ​​souls and make spiritual consciousness immortal? This secret method has long been lost "Atricia said, "But after the existence of the Crystal Skull was exposed, some people had the idea that they should not move. For example, the current Pope Varun I mentioned to you before. He has devoted himself to research for decades. In order to allow his sea of ​​souls to be successfully externalized, and he wanted to modify the rules of the inheritance of the crystal skull, so that the soul in the skull could completely occupy the body of the successor at the moment of possession, and let the soul of the successor be annihilated— —”

"...Then he can be resurrected in an infinite body." Gordon raised his eyebrows, "This is a way of almost immortality."

"And you can continue to accumulate your own strength." Atrichia added, "But such behavior completely ignores the laws of nature. Besides, the inheritance requirements of the Crystal Skull are quite strict. If it can carry Valen's soul, then those The body itself should also be a genius-level figure—why should their lives be occupied by such an immortal thing?"

After hearing the words, Gordo fell silent suddenly, and looked at Atricia with some doubts.

Atrium: "Well, I am one of the 'containers' prepared for him. The only special thing is that I am his son. He originally 'nurtured' me, but I came into contact with his by accident. Experimental material, a real crystal skull—so I escaped."

Goldo: "...As expected of you."

Atricia's expression immediately darkened again: "Then, when I was 12 years old, because of my talent, I was forcibly sent to the seminary, right under the eyes of the people in the Holy See."

Goldo: "...so unlucky."

Atrium: "The fused skull is worthless. So they want me to die. When I die, they have to collect my body—otherwise the skull will never return to their hands."

Gordon sighed: "How did you survive until now?"

"Rely on my brain." Atrichia glanced at him. "Of course, Claudius also helped me a lot. But after I became an adult, he never appeared again, until today."

"The Pope is collecting crystal skulls...but I'm a dark wizard." Gordon said sadly, "It's useless for him to ask for my skull!"

Yatrixia slowly revealed an elegant smile: "But do you dare to reveal your identity as a black wizard?"

Goldo conceded in seconds: "Don't dare."

It's fine for him to be alone, but now he's taking care of his family.There are the lord's father and the lord's wife on the top, and his careless brother and his beloved pony on the bottom. If he is exposed, the entire Moran family will be buried with him.

"Therefore, this matter must not be spread to outsiders." Atrichia warned, "No one is allowed."

Goldo took a deep breath and nodded: "...Understood."

"Okay, let's go out." Atrium said, "This tomb, it's better to let it be quiet forever."

Otherwise, there are no bones in the tomb, which is really unreasonable.

Listening to what Atricia meant, Gordon sighed.

"It seems that we have to find a way to silence Lecco." Goldo said, "I originally wanted him to be responsible for the epidemic in the whole village..."

"It's best not to. Then he is almost sentenced to death. Even if the crime of robbery is not fatal, the villagers of Linbian Village will not let him continue to live." Yatrixia whispered, "That's it .”

It is best to let the plague come and go quietly.

Anyway, those who should be punished have already been punished.

In the entire Linbian Village, although the illness was severe, the only one who died of the disease was Lecco's younger brother——

This is probably predestined.
