The leisurely life of a magician

Li Ke opened his eyes again and woke up, the sky was just dawn, and his belly was pale.

"Master, are you awake?" Abrist's voice came to Li Ke's mind.

"Yeah." Li Ke responded, and then looked around. Gerrit, who was lying there, disappeared at some point.

Abrist gave him an answer: "Master, Gerrit went back to the airship in the middle of the night."

Li Ke said; "Well, let's find a place to rest first."

"it is good!"

Abrist chose to rest on an isolated island in the sea. There was a small forest on this isolated island, but he didn't hear the sound of any large monsters.

Thinking about it, no matter how powerful a monster is, it is impossible to compare with the dragons. Of course, they dodged obediently when they saw the dragons.

Li Ke was sitting on a rock, blowing the sea breeze, with a fruit sandwich in his hand. Behind him, Abrist and Gerrit were arguing about the uneven distribution of food.

"It's mine! You bad old man! Don't steal my food!" Abrist bared his teeth and waited for Gerrit.

"You little dragon cub really doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young." Gerrit said with a smile.

"Humans, don't think that you will get carried away after living for 800 years! The lifespan of our dragons is measured in tens of thousands!" Abrist said.

"Yes, but I am over 800 years old now, but what about you? How old are you? It seems that you are not yet an adult. I guess you were born less than a year ago?"

Abrist snorted coldly, "So what?! Don't you know that children need nutritional supplements? Besides, you old guy is dying, why eat so much?"

"I've lived for 800 years, so it's almost time to die." Gerrit was not angry, but smiled, "But ah, the only regret is that I didn't eat much delicious food. Do you want to eat more?

When I die, I won't be able to taste these delicious foods again. "

Abrist was silent for a while, looked at Gerrit and said, "Then, I'll give you all these foods. You won't live long anyway, and I still have a lot of time."

In Abrist's view, human beings are not a long-lived race. Even if Gerrit is [-] years old, he still looks like a child in his eyes.

However, he also knows that this has probably reached the limit of human beings.Generally speaking, the longest sage can live to be 1000 years old, so there is not much time left for Gerrit.

According to the standards of the Dragon Clan, 200 years is nothing more than opening and closing eyes, and it will pass after a night of sleep.When they awoke from their slumbers, their human friends might be long gone.

"Then I won't be polite~" Gerrit was not polite to Aberrist, with a triumphant smile on his face.Even if Abrist couldn't read his face, he could tell that Gerrit was lying to him just now.

"You bad old man, how dare you lie to me!" Abrist complained.

"You Dragon Clan will not go back on what you say." Gerrit took a bite of his favorite strawberry cake in front of Abrist. "Otherwise, how would you maintain the prestige of the Dragon Clan."

Abrist: ...

"Ignore you! Choke you to death!" Abrist turned and left angrily, and ran straight to Li Ke's direction.That nasty bad old man won't give me something to eat, so I don't know how to ask the owner for it?

Those foods were all brought out by the master!

"Master, Gerrit took all the food away, I'm not full yet." Abrist stood under the stone, looking up at Li Ke eagerly.

Li Ke glanced at him, and gave him a bunch of food from the item box: "Eat it."

Abrist picked up the food in satisfaction and began: "Thank you, master!"

"Abel, is there anything about the Demon King in the memory inheritance of your dragon clan?" Li Ke asked him.

Abrist stuffed a big cake into his mouth, and after he swallowed it, he replied: "Yes, I heard that this demon king Corgi was once a brave man from another world. However, I remember that this demon king's name doesn't seem to be Corgi or something.

All in all, after he became the Demon King, he organized an army of Demon Kings and began to fight humans. "

"Why did he fight humans? Isn't he a brave man?" Li Ke asked.

"Because he killed the previous devil king, he inherited the position of the devil king." Abrist said, "The value of a brave reincarnated in another world is to kill the devil king and then become the current devil king himself."

Li Ke:? ? ?

"I heard that this is a rule made by the Creator. Where there is light, there will be shadows. Therefore, light and darkness seem to be opposites, but in fact they are mutually accomplished.

However, every brave man did not choose to return to the capital to inherit the throne after killing the previous devil king, and then marry the princess.The reason for this strange phenomenon has not been unified until now.

The most credible statement is that there is a powerful magic circle in the Demon King's city, which can change the will of the brave, or tell some secret things to the brave who crusade against the Demon King.Let the brave become the devil willingly. "

Li Ke asked: "What do you think can make a brave man become a devil willingly?"

Abrist: "Eat! Delicious!"

Li Ke: ...

"Why does the devil have to eat, right? So, it's right to eat! You can't grow any delicious food in that ghostly place in the devil's city. I only went there once, and then I didn't go there."

Li Ke: ...that devil in the skin of a brave man is a farmer?

"Understood." Seeing that Abrist was about to speak again, Li Ke interrupted him directly, "Hurry up and eat your food, Gerrit has already looked at you several times over there."

Abrist, who wanted to say a few more words, quickly stuffed some pastries into his mouth to calm his shock when he heard this.

After flying over the sea for more than half a month, the two of them finally arrived at the northernmost part of the world, the Dusk Forest.

Dusk Forest is just like its name, the whole forest is in the color of egg yolk.The forest from light yellow to dark yellow looks like a natural oil painting against the sunlight.

"Is this the Twilight Forest?" Li Ke asked.

Gerrit looked at the Dusk Forest in front of him and nodded: "If I remember correctly, this is the Dusk Forest."

Abrist: "Here it is."

In the distance of the dusk forest, cities with vague outlines stand there. I don’t know if it’s because of the distance. The closer the city is to the forest, the darker it gets. pure black.

"That seems to be..." Gerrit took out a metal tube from his trouser pocket, which was actually a telescope.He took a telescope to look in a certain direction of the forest: "It really is them..."

Li Ke followed Gerrit's line of sight and found a group of thousands of people on the forest path.The leader was a handsome blond young man wearing a monocle. He was wearing a white shirt and khaki trousers, and he seemed a bit out of place among a group of armored and fully armed teams.

"Who is that blond man?" Li Ke asked.

Gerrit put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed, "That man is my shadow."

"Your shadow?" Li Ke was a little surprised, but after carefully comparing Gerrit's appearance with the blond young man, he could indeed find many similarities.

"That's right." Gerrit put away the binoculars and said to Li Ke, "He is the current Grand Master of the Padjorik Temple, Gerrit."

Abrist asked curiously: "You all have the same name, won't you be mistaken by others?"

Gerrit smiled and replied: "Others only know that Gerrit is the king and the great leader, so it doesn't matter if they admit it or not."

"Is it true that you saved Padjorick?" Li Ke asked.

"Are you referring to the incident that helped Padjorick defeat its neighbors?" said Gerrit. "If it is that incident, it is true. However, it is the shadow that saved these people, I just don't know. Just hide behind him."

"It may be because of my childhood that I developed a second personality, which is a collection of all my dark sides and at the same time the strong self I yearn for.

So at that time, I let him replace me as the savior of Padjorick, and he also helped me realize this wish, and even created the kingdom of science and magic, Padjorick for my dream.

No, this statement is not correct. The preparation is to realize one's own dream, which is why such a country was created, a country of iron laws with the law as the supreme rule.

Later, in order to repay his kindness, I used magic and science to separate him from his body and make him an independent individual.

In the beginning, he and I had a good relationship, until one day he asked me about the shortness of human life, he asked me if I want to live longer in this world, and then use the time to delve into what I want most science.

At that time, of course I agreed.Then he offered to create a temple, and I helped him as best I could.But then I disagreed with him on certain things, and then things got worse.

Since I was always obsessed with research, I entrusted him with all the king's affairs of Padjorick. When I came back to my senses, this guy had turned Padjorick into a cold mechanical kingdom.

For me, that's how it feels.It feels like everyone is like puppets, repeating the same actions and tasks, without any smiles on their faces, and they all look numb.

I have always wanted to change this situation, but was stopped by the shadow.He locked me in the laboratory and asked me to study things..."

"Then why don't you just go on strike?" Abrist said.

"I think so too! But, but seeing those materials and design drawings, I, I can't help it..."

Abrist: ...the old man is hopeless.

The author has something to say: Abrist: Is the old head out of his mind?Being locked up and doing things for others

Li Ke: ... I don't understand this brain circuit

Gerrit: That means you're too young.
