That night, a full week after Sirius and his party returned to the imperial capital Asshai, the Magic Association contact tower in Yani City shook violently again.

Amir, who was meditating in his room, hurriedly broke away from the meditative state, and ran to the trial room in the basement without thinking - in this communication tower, only Keech could make such a big commotion.

But after arriving in the basement, Amir found that the black iron door into the trial room could not be opened as if it was locked, and it could not be opened with a key.After a brief inspection, Amir realized that the door was not locked at all, but that it was unable to be opened smoothly due to the tremendous pressure from the other side.

Since the purpose of this door is to shield the magic effect inside, so that it will not spread outside the room, so the door is not only thick and difficult to break, but also has a very high anti-magic effect, making it extremely difficult to destroy.

For a while, Amir could only beat on the iron door angrily, trying to make Kiki stop the experiment and open the iron door from the other side.

But at this time, Keech couldn't hear the knock on the door at all.Just as Amir was most worried about, the reason for such a violent vibration was that Kiki’s magic experiment had an accident again, and the black hole that appeared when it failed last time was triggered again.But the problem is that there is no defensive magic circle that can stop the magic from continuing during the trial this time. It can only control the magic effect within the room.

However, at the moment when the black hole was formed, when Kiki thought that he might die, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from his back, holding him tightly in his arms.

The next moment, Kiki was surprised to find that he had completely escaped from the engulfing effect of the black hole.

Kiki turned his head subconsciously, and a pair of black eyes immediately came into view.

"Moriarty?" Keech called out his name involuntarily.

"Warning, if you play like this next time, you will go to a different space to fend for yourself, and I will never rescue you again!" Moriarty threatened viciously with a smiling expression.

"Ah?" Kiki was stunned for a moment, and soon asked suddenly, "Is this space magic?"

"Fart's space magic!" Moriarty couldn't help cursing, "How can you, a descendant of an elemental sub-god, control space magic?! You just suppressed all kinds of elements too densely, forcing They exploded a space crack!"

"Isn't that also space?" Keech asked puzzled.

"Look carefully, what the hell is that!" Moriarty laughed angrily, raised his hand to grab Kidge's chin, and turned his head in the direction of the black hole.

"Beside you, I can't see what that is!" Keech said gloomily.Every time he follows Moriarty, his ability will be invalid. After learning that Moriarty controls the laws of space and time, Keech guesses that this may be because Moriarty pulls him into the world every time he appears. A foreign space different from the normal world, where there are no elements that Keech can control, naturally Keech can only see what Moriarty let him see.

Moriarty was also aware of this, and muttered angrily again, then raised his hand, re-displaying the process of forming a black hole and its aftermath in front of Keech.

Sure enough, as Moriarty said, at first, a group of substances containing elements of the four systems gradually condensed in the magic scroll he drew.However, the four series of elements cannot coexist peacefully under any conditions. Too dense a space will soon cause the elements to repel each other and collide with each other, trying to push other elements out of their own range.

The external pressure caused by Kiki's will does not allow any of these elements to escape from the range of the magic circle. kind of control.

But such a change happened in an instant, which also made the forces emanating from the four elemental elements collide again almost at the same time, eventually triggering an even greater and terrifying change in power. Shangshengsheng exploded a gap in space, which is the black hole that Kiki saw that could swallow everything.

"Is this really space magic?" Keech asked unwillingly.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll throw you in and let you see for yourself what is over there!" Moriarty said through gritted teeth.

Hearing the sound of grinding teeth, Kiki finally realized that Moriarty seemed to be really angry, so he closed his mouth depressedly, but immediately couldn't help asking: "What is the space magic?"

"Obviously, it's a force beyond your control." Moriarty snorted coldly.

"But am I not your descendant? Why can't I control your power?" Kiki turned his head and looked at Moriarty suspiciously.

"Who told you... oh, well, it was me." Moriarty rolled his eyes, sighed again quickly, and said helplessly, "My dear child, although I don't lie, but You have to understand that sometimes the truth is quite far from the truth."

"Can't you explain it more clearly?" Keech frowned.

Moriarty looked at the sky speechlessly, and he spoke again after a while, "Well, I explained it in a human way, assuming that you and I are grandfather and grandson, then it is obvious that there is still a relationship between us. The role of a father, let's call him the Elemental Sub-God—don't ask who he is, anyway, he is a guy who controls the laws of the elements. I don't remember the specific name and I don't bother to think about it. You, or in other words, are biological father and son with Chimera, but the relationship between him and me is just a relationship similar to adoption or supervision. He regards me as his father, but he is not my blood child. "

"Like a mentor and an apprentice?" Keech asked, tilting his head.

"Well, you can understand it that way if you want." Moriarty replied disapprovingly, "As for what happened that day, it was just because I was too lazy to explain it to the magician. Anyway, as far as the inheritance laws of human beings are concerned, adopted children and apprentices are also can be counted as descendants."

Kiki was startled, and then remembered Amir's guess about Moriarty's identity, opened his mouth, and asked hesitantly, "Are you... really a god?"

"That's just an appellation given by humans." Moriarty replied, "And, as a matter of fact, their so-called gods are actually the sub-gods of the elements I mentioned just now, not me. If you read Through human history, you will find their names in the time before Ragnarok, and they are also the source of your true inheritance, the ancestors of the Chimera family."

"So, who are you?" Keech asked puzzled.

"I am me, me and everything." Moriarty smiled faintly.

"I started to say things I don't understand again." Kiki complained depressingly, but he was not interested in going further.Anyway, no matter what Moriarty is, it is an existence that he cannot touch. Since this is the case, then what he is is actually irrelevant.

Keech pouted, turned his attention back to the black hole in front of him, and immediately remembered a more important matter, and hurriedly asked Moriarty: "How can this black hole disappear?"

"It's simple, wait," Moriarty replied.

"Wait?" Kiki was taken aback.

"Wait for time to fix everything." Moriarty pointed to the black hole in front of him.It was indeed getting smaller, and after being pointed by Moriarty's finger, the speed became faster and faster, and soon changed from a black hole to a black spot, and finally disappeared in Kidge's sight.

Moriarty let go of Keech, letting his feet drop to the ground.

"Again, don't play around like this again, or if something happens again, I really won't come to rescue you again." Moriarty used the word "again" emphatically.

Keech didn't take his words to heart, turned around, and asked curiously: "The black hole I blew up last time was not so big, and the suction was not so exaggerated. Is it because there are more elements compressed this time than last time?" ?”

Moriarty gave Keech a deadpan look, and disappeared in response.

- will pretend to be mysterious!

Keech pouted depressingly, but before he could continue to slander, a heavy knock on the door came to his ears, so he turned around, walked over and pushed the door open.

Seeing that the iron door was pushed open by Kiki, Amir immediately put away his anxious face, and asked in a deep voice, "What trouble have you caused?"

"Uh..." Kiki blinked, turned his head subconsciously, and looked at the trial room behind him.

Keech had been focusing on the black hole just now, and Keech didn't notice the changes between the trials.Looking at it now, I found that the surrounding walls have become mottled as if they have been attacked by the years, the isolation magic circle inside has been completely destroyed, and the corresponding magic elements have been completely absorbed by the black hole.

Kichiton felt that he had no confidence, so he could only close his mouth and look at Amir pretending to be innocent.

"Tell me, what the hell did you do?" Amir asked with a slanted look back at Kiki, with an unfriendly expression on his face.

"Hmm..." Kiki hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was nothing he couldn't say, but explaining this kind of thing in words was really not his specialty, so he raised his head and asked, "Well, are you afraid of death?"

"What?" Amir was taken aback by Kiki's question.

"It may be a little dangerous, but I think you should be willing to see it with your own eyes." Keech said seriously.

"Then show me." Amir replied without thinking.

Kiki was about to reproduce the process just now, but immediately found that the papyrus and other tools for making magic scrolls he had brought before had been sucked away by the black hole, so he had to smile at Amir, and then quickly ran to the experiment above Room, prepare a new set of material tools for drawing scrolls.

More than half an hour later, Kiki redraws the magic scroll that he thought could open the door of space that he made before, but the specification has shrunk from the normal size to half a palm, and the ink lines for drawing the magic circle have also changed. Extraordinarily slender.In order to ensure the accuracy, Keech even gave up the drawing pen when making it, and completely imprinted the ink on the papyrus with mental power.

"Well, let's stand a little farther away?" After everything was ready, Kiki turned his head and suggested to Amir.

Amir didn't answer, just took a few steps back and stood in the corner.

Keech thought for a while, then turned around and opened the door between trials.He is not sure whether the defensive magic circle in the contact tower can resist the black hole. He just thinks that if the door is opened to allow the elements outside the room to quickly enter, the speed of the black hole should be filled faster, so that he and Amir face to face Right is a little less dangerous.

—I hope he is right!

Kiki took a deep breath, put the finished scroll on the floor, walked to Amir's side, and used his mental power to drive the magic scroll.

Perhaps because the elements condensed in the scroll were too scarce this time, there was no movement on the scroll for a long time, until Kiki began to suspect that he had failed, and the scroll on the ground slowly began to fluctuate.

Kiki hurriedly held his breath and concentrated, and continued to use his mental power to coerce the elements of various departments.But in view of the last lesson, Kiki didn't dare to inject additional magic elements into the scroll this time, and only carefully drove a small amount of elements that were imprisoned in the scroll.

Finally, there was a loud "boom", the mutation happened again, and the elements of the four elements in the scroll collided violently again, and as a result, a huge force enough to explode the space erupted.

After the white light caused by the explosion disappeared, the scroll disappeared, and a black hole the size of a fist reappeared in front of Kiki's eyes, which also made Amir beside Kiki widen his eyes in surprise.

Perhaps it is really because fewer elements have less power. The black hole that appeared this time is just like the one that Kiki created inexplicably for the first time. It did not attract the two people in the room, but simply absorbed the surrounding energy. magic element.

Kiki, who felt this, immediately turned his will outside the room, allowing the outside elements to enter the room faster and fill the black hole between trials.

Obviously his idea was right, this time the black hole existed for a very short time, and it began to shrink and disappear within a few minutes.

When everything returned to calm, Kiki let out a long breath, turned his head to look at Amir who was already dumbfounded, and waited for his comment.

After a while, Amir came back to his senses, looked at Kiki with a complicated expression, and asked meaningfully: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Probably...you know." Kiki replied vaguely, "This is not space magic, although it looks very similar."

"Indeed, it's not, at least not the space magic you want." Amir said affirmatively, and then changed his voice, "Where did you find the magic circle you drew on the scroll?"

"A book in the library, "One Hundred Conjectures About Legendary Magic." Keech replied, "According to the above description, this is a space magic that can open the door of space, but the magic provided in the book There are many mistakes in the magic circle, so I used the deduction method you taught me to modify the magic circle a little... "

"From a certain point of view, this description is not wrong, but the door of space it opens can only send people to hell, and it is the kind that never returns." Amir said with a sullen face, indifferently, " If my guess is correct, its real name should be 'The Gate of Hell', a forbidden curse of nature that has been lost."

"Oh." Keech responded casually.Although the scroll magic looked so powerful that it was almost terrifying, it wasn't the space magic he needed, so after being numb from the shocks one after another, it couldn't arouse his interest anymore.

"I always thought that the book "Conjecture" was a completely baseless compilation, but I didn't expect that there were some terrifying things in it... It seems that I have to contact the association to classify this book as a banned book .” Amir muttered to himself, and quickly turned to Kiki and said, “Go back to Asshai, it’s still more suitable for you.”

"Huh?!" Kiki froze for a moment.

"Although it is safer to keep you by your side, in the long run, the Magic Association with rich resources is more suitable for your growth." Amir said with a little helplessness, "In a few days, the airship will go to Yaji City to pick you up. Rosh and Calvin are going back to the Magic Association, and on the return journey, I will let the airship stay here for one night, and let Barosh take you away with him."

——Can he really return to Asshai and be with Hill?

Kiki stared blankly at Amir, unable to believe his ears for a moment.
