Traveling is to conquer the world

The stalemate between humans and giant dragons is gradually escalating. After the end of the dragon war, the second dragon slaying battle that will affect the whole world is imminent.At the same time, Antinomie, who was heading towards Sirius Island, also unexpectedly ran into an 'old friend'.

Said to be an old friend, but in fact, this is just the second time Antinomie and the other party have met, but in the eyes of the other party, Antinomie should be an old friend who has known each other for a long time.

—in the eyes of the future Zeref.

As the most notorious black mage more than 200 years ago, Jeref and the demons he created were quite unwelcome disasters wherever they went, even in the presence of the more vicious outlaw witches and metal giants. After the dragons came to this world, Jeref's situation, which was criticized by thousands of people, did not improve much.

Even if there are more brutal murderers for comparison, it doesn't mean how noble and innocent robbers are.

But even though he was living a life like a giant rat crossing the street, everyone hated anyone who dared to fight, the current Jeref still looks much better than him in the "future world" that Antinomie saw.The energy of the polluter has not turned him into the decadent squatting at home after 150 years, at least he still has a pair of melancholy eyes that can be used to pour out his sad heart...

Jeref was a distasteful black mage with a bad record, and everyone who knew him thought so.Even more unfortunately, even Jeff himself felt so.

Seriously speaking, Jeff didn't do any heinous things. He just created a new creature called a demon out of his research interest. Defining the specific form, or transforming the experimental subject to have a body with excellent quality, these are all related to the academic field of research.

But this is where Jeff's misfortune lies. The demons he created out of his research interests have become the chief culprit for making him break the law.Which of those demons defined by evil thoughts or lunatics who voluntarily undergo body transformation is a kind person? All of them are experts in the party who commit crimes and create disasters. Ordinary people can't tell who these demons are. Whoever it is, in the end, they can only half-respond to "Jerf's demons" and cover it up.

Even if what the demons want to do and what they are doing has nothing to do with Zeref, as a demon maker, he is still full of scapegoats, and under the accusation of thousands of people, he is full of blame. Hurt struggled tenaciously to continue his research.

People, when they are young, they always have a rebellious impulse to swim against the current.Even though the continuous accusations have made him understand that it is wrong to continue such things, but the resentment of unwillingness to admit defeat always drives them to rush down, and they don't understand the reason to give up until they are hit with blood on their heads and know the pain. importance.

Apparently, Akunorollia is the wall for Jeref. He made Jeref bloody on the road of demon research, and hastily avoided the forbidden area where he dared not challenge this life again.

When Jeref successfully transformed the ambitious human youth into a hybrid demon mixed with a dragon, Jeref, who witnessed the birth of the new species, was happy for a long time and felt that his efforts were rewarded .But when Akunorolia opened the eclipse gate and released the Infidel Witch and her fallen legion into this world, Zeref, who was suddenly hit by a blow, realized that he had made a big mistake.

Capturing evil thoughts from the void to define the behavior of demons is very risky. I don’t know how many old mages have warned Jeff not to do this, but out of curiosity about how many forms this wonderful creature such as demons can have All the while, Jeff has been deaf to these warnings, scoffing at their sad-faced assertions of 'you're going to make a big mistake' when they say of themselves.

But in the end, Jeff himself had to admit that they were right...

His behavior of defining demons in a large number has already attracted the attention of the Fallen Legion, and summoned the scourge of destruction to this small border world that should have been peaceful and peaceful.And the freak Akunorolia, who accepted his transformation and became inhuman and dragonless, sold the world directly to the non-dao priestess in order to pursue stronger power, and asked the non-dao priestess who was looking for new toys to send her subordinates to settle in out of this world.

If Zeref hadn't created a large number of demons, then Iglesche wouldn't have set his sights on this inconspicuous world; Nor will it hook up with Igliche out of the desire to become a real dragon...

From a direct point of view, neither the arrival of the polluters nor the impending doom of the world has much to do with Jeff.But in the eyes of other people and Jeff himself, no matter how he thinks that the world will be destroyed, it is his fault... Probably because he is too used to being blamed, and now even Jeff himself has accepted this kind of mistake All mistakes are his wonderful setting anyway.

Finally realizing the seriousness of the matter, in order to make up for the big mistake he made, Jeff finally made up his mind to terminate the demonic experiment that had obsessed him for more than 100 years, and sealed up all the existing demons in the "Jeref" Book of Golf" to prevent them from continuing to do harm to the world.

But this alone is not enough. Igliche, the non-dao priestess who was attracted by the devil's breath, has already probed her tentacles into this world, and it is too late to put the devil away now.Akunorollia, who has evolved into an obsidian dragon with the help of Iglesia, is not something Jeff can deal with alone, let alone the polluter who is far above Akunorollia. , with only Jeff's strength alone, it is almost impossible to drive out the raging invaders.

But he didn't stop because of the slim possibility of finding a needle in a haystack. No matter how difficult he was, Jeff was also trying every means to make up for the mistakes he caused-he and the world's strongest The largest aborigines, the giant dragons known as the defenders of order, had a sincere exchange, and expressed their pain, hoping that the dragons could help him drive away the intruders. The timing of the heel drives them away.

At that time, the giant dragons were also worried that many people in their group were bewitched by witches and degenerated into metal dragons. Under Jeref's lobbying, they finally made an agreement with metal dragons after a heated discussion. The difficult decision to go to war with the dragons and drive them out at all costs.

But the decision of the five-color dragons was really too late. After the metal dragons had done a good job in the early battle, the real body of Egliche had successfully descended into this world.After the arrival of the polluter himself, the speed at which the young dragons degenerate exponentially multiplied. The five-color dragons who were originally superior to the metal dragons fell into a disadvantage of being outnumbered.

After Yalong also joined the battle, the dragon war finally ended with the complete defeat of the five-color dragons.After the first resistance movement ended at the cost of killing the entire five-color dragon family, Jeref, as the initiator, was still not discouraged, and continued to lobby races other than the giant dragon that still had the power to resist.

However, compared with the righteousness of the dragons to fight against the evil forces at all costs, Zeref was deeply disappointed by the timid and retreating reactions of other races.Although it is a very wise excuse to say that ordinary attacks are useless and the dragon's chances of winning are slim, but if you don't even have the courage to stand up, wouldn't even this slim chance of winning be completely gone?

Earlier, many small-minded and short-sighted guys came to dig up old accounts at this time, counting all the evil deeds that Jeff had done-although these were basically done by demons and then On Jeff's head.

After recalling the old calendar, they asked Jeff sarcastically, "What do you want to do, a notorious villain, still jumping up and down here talking about saving the world?" ''Recognize your role clearly, take a good script and try to figure out your own position, okay? ''Elder Brother Mo Xiao and Second Brother, neither you nor Egliche should have more lice than the other...'

Hearing more and more malicious ridicules, Jeff gradually became disheartened.Many people always compare his demons with Iglesia, and then come to the inexplicable conclusion that his demons didn't destroy the world, so Iglesche won't either.

Is this really the case in reality?

Probably not.

After the destruction of the five-color dragons that were most likely to defeat the metal dragon, these cruel and cunning evil dragons refocused their attention on humans. Humans, who have a strong ability to learn and imitate, are most likely to pose a threat to them after the five-color dragons .The increasing friction between the dragons and humans is largely caused by the provocations of the five-color dragons.

Before the flames of war burned on their own heads, most races had the fluke mentality of "it doesn't matter who is unlucky anyway, it shouldn't be my unlucky", which made Jeff feel both angry and funny, so stupid that people felt It is useless to preach to them.

When defining demons from the void, Jeff once got a book in another world by chance, which probably contained the trivial diary of a certain priest.And the diary has been recorded until the last time of the priest's death. The last diary of the priest before his death is a very ironic little story, and now, Jeff thinks the ending of this story is really suitable for the people who laughed at him.

"When the Nazis came for the Communists, I kept silent because I wasn't a Communist; when they came for the Jews, I kept silent because I wasn't a Jew; when they came for the Trade Unionists, I kept silent. Keep silent because I am not a trade unionist; when they come for Catholics, I keep silent because I am Protestant; when they come for me, there is no one to speak for me.』

The elves hiding in the jungle, the dwarves hiding in the underground world, the goblins blending into the hills and caves...

They all think that they are safe, and humans are fighting the dragons to seize the plain space.That's why he was hunted down by the dragon.

Before the human race is on the verge of extinction, the dwarves will never guess that the next one is themselves who have distant blood relatives with humans; A day of burning to ashes... Before the residences of other races on the surface are devastated, the peace-loving elves will never think that the next thing to be affected by the flames of war is the vast forest where they hide...

Besides, even the five-color dragons who are dragons have been defeated by the metal dragons, what can they do?

No matter how hard Zeref, who hadn't had a serious conversation with anyone for many years and was rather inarticulate, tried his best, the only response to him was a rejection gesture common to all races.Even though the intention of the giant dragons to drive humans to extinction has become increasingly clear, the fools who have no sense of crisis have no concept of cold lips.

——Maybe they also realized it, but the fear of the dragon drove them to deny this correct cognition, and pretended that they hadn’t guessed anything, until the false peace was completely broken by the roar of the dragon that day.

"I really was wasting my time. 』

Jeref, who had run into walls everywhere, was lying on the green grass, looking at the sun in the sky that had been stained with blood and became dirty and dim, thinking so pessimistically.

"Why do I still have the illusion that there might be salvation in this world?It's clearly hopeless.Yes, it's all over, from the day Akunorollia became a demon, or a little earlier, from the day I first had the joy of making a demon, the world has been It was doomed. 』

The black mage who slapped the butterfly wings and destroyed the whole world sighed, turned over on the grass that was still dripping with wet rain and dew, and started to roll, as if he wanted to use this to expel the accumulation in his chest. It's as if all the depression in my heart has been vented.

Then... the black mage, who continued his round and rolling motion, bumped into the blue-haired boy who was trekking across thousands of rivers and mountains with a silver spear on his back to prepare money to attack Igliche.

Antinomie looked at the black mage who had rolled to his feet covered in mud and grass, had no temperament at all, and had an innocent face begging to be kicked. He couldn't help asking : "... What kind of play are you playing? Can a person play so happily?"

The hellish expression on his face of "you still need at least five courses of treatment" seriously hurt Jeref's noble glass heart as a well-known black magician, and Mr. Demon Brick has just been caressed by Mother Earth It was really hard to see the fragrance of green grass everywhere, so Jeff, who lived for more than 200 years and still looks like a green boy, coughed twice in embarrassment, and forcibly crawled off the ground pretending that nothing happened Get up, and then pat the grass and dirt on your body thinking that the action is very subtle.

Antinomie didn't dare to tell him that, in fact, it's useless for him to pat his body clean, the hair that started to grow grass like a messy chicken coop is the most unsightly part!

The picture was so beautiful that Antinomie, who silently turned his eyes away, expressed that he didn't dare to look at it.

——This is the scene when Jeref met Antinomy for the first time, an embarrassing first meeting that would only make him feel embarrassed and ashamed no matter what posture he recalled.

But at the same time, it is quite fresh in my memory, and I always smile involuntarily when I think about it.

There is such a strange atmosphere in this world called personality matching. Two people who are obviously not familiar with each other, and who have not even communicated much, can quickly become familiar with just an awkward first encounter, and immediately develop into walking together. the point.

↑Of course, the main premise is that the goals of their actions are all clearly and consistently pointing to Iglesia, otherwise let alone their personalities match, even if they fall in love at first sight, there is no hope of traveling together...

In fact, both of them are not very talkative personalities. Jeff is a man who has been staying at home all year round doing research and squatting at home. Antinomie is born with a lack of the ability to chat with people to promote intimacy. degree of nerve.But the strange thing is that even if they lack verbal communication, the two people who should be counted as just met have a strange tacit understanding, as if they have known each other for a long time, and they can understand what the other person is thinking with just one look, making a certain lucky E body That jealousy was burning to the sky.

This made Antinomie very surprised. He really hasn't met such a compatible partner for a long time. If he can go with a guy who will do whatever he wants to do with you, it will really feel great. It is a kind of heartfelt comfort.

This is probably the so-called wonderful feeling of coming from the same parent planet?

Jeff is actually a very lonely and withdrawn person, otherwise he would not have embarked on the road of no return to the black magician of the house. It's not that he doesn't like to communicate with people, but he has long forgotten what he should do when he has been with demons all year round. How to refresh the favorability of normal people? Only when I met Antinomie, who also didn't know what favorability was, did I finally have a little intimacy of meeting a bosom friend in a foreign land.

——Although Antinomie's impression of Jeff is basically 'this guy will be pitiful in the future but cute now'.

In order not to hurt Jeref's noble and fragile glass heart, Antinomie was very careful not to show her true opinion of him, but in all honesty, Jeref's innocent eyes were really true. Yes...it's too painful.

Many people have praised Antinomie for having light-colored eyes that are as pure as glass, but after meeting Jeref, he discovered that the original pure black eyes can also look so clear and clear, not some domineering side leak like cold stars shining The eyes are cold, but they are as clear as spring water in a pool, clean eyes that seem to present the whole soul in the eyes.

The look in those eyes was too sincere, as if he was facing a loved one, it was so frank and sincere, it made people feel that it was a great sin to doubt him.Probably it is precisely because Jeff has such a pair of eyes that can instantly fill up his favorability, so even though he has been notorious for more than 200 years, those warriors who came to him with a fierce reputation as a black mage looked like they were going to fight to the death Ladies and gentlemen, in the end it all changed to hard-spoken preaching.

It is said that he is the most vicious and evil black mage in history, but no matter how popular his reputation is, it cannot compare with the shock of seeing Jeff's pure and kind eyes when he met.A person with such clear eyes, no matter how he thinks about it, is impossible to be a wicked heretic with evil intentions, even if he is really a heinous black mage (Jerph: I am wronged from the bottom of my heart!), it makes people feel soft It's such a mess that I can't even speak serious words.

It is precisely because of Zeref's innocent eyes full of strategy talents that Antinomie is a little afraid to look at him, not because he is worried that he will be like those vicious gods who want to attack him and become dizzy He is as soft-hearted as the warriors who come out of the round, but he is afraid that he will not be able to hold back this cute animal that can be seen by just looking at it with cute eyes, and bring it home and raise it in captivity.

Antinomie couldn't hold back the feeling of regret when he thought of how Zeref's eyes were eroded by the darkness and lost their luster after inheriting the power of Egliche.The disaster brought about by Iglesia obviously had nothing to do with Jeff, but he insisted on assigning the responsibility to himself, and took it on himself, leaving himself in the darkness isolated from the world .

Even Antinomie, who had returned to the past world at this moment, couldn't understand what Jeff said on Sirius Island, 'that is the darkness he must bear'.Since it is a foregone conclusion that Igleche will be defeated by him, why does Zeref have to inherit the curse power she left behind?

Antinomie can do nothing for Zeref who has been deeply polluted by the curse of this power in the "future world", but since there is a chance to stop it now, he will try his best to stop that miserable future no matter what.

Sinking into the dark, falling into a long sleep and slowly rotting away... It's really pathetic.

Antinomie did not express his inner thoughts on his facial expressions, although his facial expressions have not changed much, so Zeref, who was looking forward to defeating Egliche, did not know that in 150 In the end, there is a cheating father who has become a blind man and is alone on the island, waiting for him in the future.

From being disheartened with no expectations for the world at the beginning, to now full of ambitions ready to fight Igriche, even Zeref himself was a little surprised by such a big change in his mentality.Where did such a change that suddenly even the sky became clear and bright come from?If you think about it carefully, it seems that it was the embarrassing meeting with Antinomie.

"What are you doing here? Going forward is not a place where people should go. There is only the sea, the endless sea."

"I'm working hard to go to Sirius Island. Sirius Island is located on the source of the sea, so I need to drift out to sea."

At that time, Jeff was still covered in grass clippings and mud, and looked ashamed like a child who had just gone crazy.At that time, Antinomie was still spotless and alone, with a long gun on his back, and he declared that he was going to sea without seeing the shadow of the boat.

Looking back, no matter how I think about it, this guy seems rather unreliable.Why did I suddenly become obsessed with thinking that this guy could really defeat Egliche, and then foolishly followed him away?

Jeff couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Glancing quietly at Antinomie, who was still worrying about how to avoid future tragedies, Jeff sighed and found a reason for himself that was not a reason.

——It must be that the blue-haired little pure eyes are so painful, that's why I followed them away with a soft heart in a daze.It must be so!
