K-type Mage

"Is the dragon really up ahead?" Jason asked.

"Yes, across the cliff, the tired and sleeping dragon is there." Thorn Bird replied.

The young man looked at it thoughtfully, tried to be tactful, but asked directly, "You don't look very well... what's going on?"

The sun was still hanging in the sky, its radiance was bright, and every feather of the Thorn Bird seemed to be dimmed as it approached here.

"I'm not in a very happy mood," said the Thorn Bird.

"I don't know if the dragon would like to see me," it said again.

"Has there been a conflict?" Jason asked, striding his legs along the markers—the upright sign was standing ahead, what a weird development—to the other side.

"It shouldn't be. It's just that, to the giant dragon, I symbolize some bad things." The bird said honestly, "Maybe it will break down when it sees me."

Jason: "..."

Sometimes words and deeds that are too frank can make the situation awkward.

Especially when it is clear that the other party did not intend to do so.

The human youths who trekked over the mountains and the black and white birds that never landed in the sky walked quietly along the edge of the cliff. Not far ahead was a cable bridge connecting the two sides of the cliff.

And in the forest farther away, the sleeping dragon opened its black vertical pupils that were as indifferent as rocks.

It spreads its wings in the deep mountains and dense forests, its huge black wings cover the sky, and everything trembles wherever it goes.

The sun was blazing, and the giant dragon, aware of the familiar aura, blinked under its wings, as if there were tears in its eyelashes.

After a sigh, it fell into silence, and the dragon docilely crouched under the tall trees, waiting patiently and silently for the visitor to arrive.

……

"You don't look well."

After being told the same thing, Yuan Shen lost the smile on his face.

He was a little dazed.

The image of the Thorn Bird was set by Nyarlathotep.It has to be said that he was confused and surprised by this. ——In the eyes of the other party, I am a little "flattered" that I have such an image.

"Is it so obvious?" He pressed his temple with a wry smile, and sighed, "I'm not in a very happy mood." He said the same thing as Thorn Bird, which made him even more headache.

"Maybe I shouldn't stay on this earth." He added, "It's fine to go anywhere. I feel more and more that my persistence is ridiculous."

Dr. Strange sat opposite him, his hand holding the black tea trembled.He organized his wording and said, "It's "Chaos", right? "

The young man on the opposite side didn't look surprised, but he showed his usual gentle smile - but he always felt that it was an eyesore and strange, but he could only listen silently to the other party nodding his head in acknowledgment.

"Yes, cheating from the beginning to the end." Yuan Shen said calmly, "I have accepted this fact, but I still feel uncomfortable for the other party to continue with the previous attitude." He sighed, "How can He be so capable?"

Yuan Shen didn't stay in the meeting room any longer. He guaranteed that nothing would happen to Jason in the game copy, but he didn't want to endure the thoughtful observation and temptation of others, so he ran away to Strange, New York where Dr. Strange was. temple.

In front of the other party, he had something to reveal.

The calmer Yuan Shen himself was, the more uncomfortable the people who came into contact with him became.

"His attention to you seems to be beyond reason." Strange said.

Yuan Shen was even more frustrated.

"I pointed this out to him," he said, "and his answer was that he had already stated it—but I don't know when and where he expressed the reason."

At that time, because I realized that Gay was gay, I didn't ask further, but no matter how I thought about it, I could only conclude that the other party "cause I came here as a human being to pay attention"-but the attention was too much.

It's impossible to really want to become brothers with myself.

"He is an existence that can't be understood, and can't be understood." He added, "I tried to hide his identity from you, but it was obviously useless, and it pleased him instead."

Dr. Strange silently took a sip of black tea, agreeing to this - the fake Shura field has been created, and anyone who knows the identity can see that the god is very interested.

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.

"You disappeared before...Compared to before, it seems to be stronger now." That kind of spiritual attraction has a strange feeling like a whirlpool.He felt that his red cloak wanted to rub against each other.

Yuan Shen was silent for a while, and said: "I am only one step away from becoming an evil god."

Doctor Strange gasped.

"It's just a projection." The black-haired young man put down his hands that had been pressing his temples, put his hands on his knees, and said with lowered eyes, "The main body is polluted, and my balance is precarious. I can only use projections to move around... If this projection If something goes wrong, the balance will collapse.”

"But this is the previous setting." He added, "After I have upgraded a little, I don't need to worry about affecting the main body at all."

Doctor Strange took a deep breath and said, "I thought it would be exaggerated enough to be exposed to magic and become the supreme mage; I didn't expect you to be in this situation."

Cthulhu's god system is completely different from what he normally comes into contact with. He understands this very well, so he also finds it tricky.

"I trust your reason." He said, this was out of his own judgment rather than following the teacher's opinion - he seemed to be able to understand why Master Ancient One chose to trust the other party.

After coming into contact with the Dark Dimension, Dormammu abandoned sex and became the master of Darkness, invading other dimensions to his heart's content; but he thinks that Yuan Shen is not such a guy who can easily abandon everything.

In a way, the other party is a likable guy.He recalled the performance of the Chaoying before, thinking with some helplessness and admiration.

"But the balance is easily broken." He gave advice, "Pollution is irreversible, and you cannot maintain it forever."

So Yuan Shen knew the other party's opinion.

"That's indeed the best choice." He said, laughing with some distress, "It's just that I'm too obsessed with the identity of a human being... No." He paused and corrected, "It should be... I hate evil gods , even if it is hostile."

After all, no one can say for sure how to define the identity of a human being. Lifespan of a hundred years of birth, old age, sickness and death?It's true that Yuanshen himself didn't struggle with the increase in lifespan—so he just didn't want to be reconciled.

"I'm not reconciled." He sighed. "For so long, I was almost being played... No matter what the choice is, it seems to be what He wants to see. This feeling is not pleasant at all."

"..." Doctor Strange nodded silently.

This is very easy to understand.No one would like to be deceived for a long time... or as a "best friend".He looked at the other party sympathetically, remembering the words the other party had said before when they were concealing their godhood—no one would doubt their past, heartfelt words.

Although he may never understand why Yuan Shen can identify with those pasts knowing that it is just deception.

Probably no one can understand.

"It's been a long time since 'Yoon' died when I talked to someone like that. " Yuan Shen said, it was very obvious that the gloomy mood before was gone, and the brows and eyes relaxed a lot, "Thank you for your willingness to chat with me, doctor. "

"You're too polite." Doctor Strange said, pointing out that it's not good that the other party is always like this, "I think you have to have a way to vent."

"You're right." Yuan Shen nodded in agreement, thinking that if he didn't pursue the identity of "Yuen", he would have established a delicate and honest relationship with Naia - he didn't need to think about what was wrong with his words , quite comfortable for a restrained and used-tempered person like him.

"Do you know about his private activities?" Doctor Strange asked.

The atmosphere is not serious, otherwise Yuan Shen wouldn't be "heart-to-heart" with Doctor Strange here.

"..." Yuan Shen rubbed his face and said, "It was He who took the initiative to talk to me."

He didn't want to see the other party at all, so how could he find it by himself?

Doctor Strange was a little silent, with a slight disbelief on his expression.

The black-haired young man was stared at by him, a little embarrassed, and said: "I can't help it, I don't want to see him."

"But this is too exaggerated." Doctor Strange said, "It really is an incomprehensible god."

"Probably improvised. For such an eternal existence, everything is just a moment." Yuan Shen said, lazily relaxing and sinking into the sofa, "Do you think they can guess it?"

"Batman must have guessed it." Doctor Strange said, "Constantine has a bad reputation, but he has a flexible mind and is good at dealing with demons; they are quite close."

Genshen blinked, remembering what Nyarlathotep said casually on the Ferris wheel earlier, "invite the demons to come find me". ...I did see it later, but I was dealing with those weird things at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Constantine, a mage with a bad record, has a general understanding of the situation, and so does Zatanna—after all, Naia brought people into trouble for leaking a photo, so he should pay attention to it; later it was confirmed that there was no life Dangerous... Mental problems are not serious either.

"No surprise at all," he said. "It's the Dark Knight of Gotham, after all."

He is a childhood idol, even if he has no waves in his heart, he admires the other party's ability to some extent.

Doctor Strange couldn't help but glance at him again.

Yuan Shen: "What's wrong?"

"I'm a little curious." Weighing the current relationship between the two, he said cautiously, "You can't deny that a guy who doesn't show any negative emotions, no matter how friendly he is, the danger can't be removed." He paused After a while, "Have you had a psychological test?"

Although he is a neurosurgeon, he has also studied psychology; after all, it is necessary to understand the patient's psychological state at any time.

"..." Yuanshen was at a loss for a moment, a little surprised why he was paid attention to psychological problems just by expressing his approval of the Dark Knight. "I haven't done it, so it's probably not very useful." He said honestly, "Sometimes I can even fool myself, and I will definitely get full marks when I fill out the form."

...you are quite honest.The former doctor was speechless for a while, and felt that his question was a bit ridiculous, but he did think that the other party's psychological problems were absolutely different from ordinary people...if the other party was really a human on Earth.

"What was it like when you were on Earth?" he asked.I already know that Yuan Shen is not a native resident of the current earth, so I am also a little curious.

"I haven't talked about these things for a long time." Yuan Shen has a good temper. The past mentioned on the Zongman studio was only in another world. Yijie is still a college student." He sighed, "It's a headache to disappear just after traveling."

That's pretty young.It's great to be here.Doctor Strange thought.

He stopped asking questions. There was no trace of the other party's past on this earth, and continuing to ask would only make the situation more embarrassing.

The air was silent for a while.

Yuan Shen slowly looked away, and fell on the sunlight shining through the glass on the ground.

He started to stay.

***

Jason saw the dragon.

The huge body like a hill is enough to make people want to see the magnificent scene of the other party spreading its wings and soaring in the sky. Perhaps it is more memorable than the goshawk whirling in the sky, and it can indeed be called the description of "earthly dragon".

It was too dark and too silent, hidden in the tall dense forest, if it wasn't for the breath stirring the plants, and the dull heartbeat after walking in, no one would have noticed that it was a huge living creature.

The Thorn Bird slapped the tip of the dragon's nose with its wings, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Jason shivered, not quite used to the child's voice suddenly changing so much like a mother's tone of exposing a bed-ridden child.

But because the two were getting closer, and then there was a faint light, he realized that the black scales on the dragon's body were almost the same as the pure black tail feathers of the thorn bird, which could not reflect light.

As for the giant dragon that opened its eyes, even the vertical pupils of those cold-blooded animals were the same pure black.

How is this dragon so black.He muttered a little.The kind of black that is completely unrecognizable in the night.

"Long time no see, what are you doing here?" The dragon asked coldly without moving.

"I came to ask you to help beat the demon." Thorn Bird said, "Actually, I would rather you kill it."

Jason: "...?"

So rude?so direct?

"I don't want it." The dragon refused very directly, and it half-closed its eyes, "Can't you honestly agree? You obviously don't care."

"Who said that?" Thorn Bird's voice was stained with dissatisfaction, "I hate demons, and I hate you too."

"Heh." The dragon sneered, "If so, you will still look like this? Demons are also black."

Jason, who was silently listening to their conversation, was glanced at by the Thorn Bird. The former once again regretted that a bird doesn't have the expression and eyes that can read thoughts and emotions.

But... have you been ignored?A traveler who travels through mountains and rivers to find the dragon of the world, what should he say when he sees the guy he is looking for?

As if responding to his doubts, lines appeared on the bright blue light screen.

[The dragon and the thorn bird seem to have conflicted on some things. 】

[The traveler stood quietly in front of him, worried about being dragged into the abyss of his hometown, so he couldn't help but interject in the middle of the conversation. 】

Jason read the lines according to the lines, with a flat and straightforward tone without emotion.

"Dear dragon, are you willing to help a traveler who wants to save his hometown? I am willing to give everything for this."

As he read it like this, his heart skipped a beat, feeling that this line was completely Fg, full of ominous connotations.

The giant dragon finally focused its gaze on him. When it looked over with its dark vertical pupils, it was full of danger unique to ferocious beasts. It looked at the human for a while, and the scales on one side of its cheek moved slightly.

"...What's going on?" it asked the Thorn Bird, its voice was no longer as lazy as before, and it was also stained with dissatisfaction, "Why did this guy come here? Just because of such an indecisive guy—"

Jason: "..."

If he didn't remember that he was playing "Jack", he would definitely have to refute and go back to show the venomous tongue skills of the irascible young man.

"Why can't he come?" Thorn Bird asked back as a matter of course, "Jack is a super good human being!" It clenched the accent on the species and sneered, "Can't I like him? Can't I like it?"

[The traveler doesn't understand why the thorn bird and the dragon play charades, but he realizes that his human identity must be very important... Unfortunately, they don't reveal much. 】

At this time, the screen was still dutifully showing the background, Jason stared at it for a while, really wanting to have a mouse to click to skip the plot... This ghost thing can't be touched yet.

"Since you brought him here." The dragon sighed, his momentum lost, "You should understand the devil's plan and my thoughts."

"Of course I understand, because I am—" Thorn Bird suddenly stopped, and swallowed the words that Kankan spit out.It flapped its wings and flew high, and its attitude became cold again, "It's just that Jack came to me on his own initiative. I just fulfilled my duty."

"What duty do you have?" The dragon sneered, it started to move, a gust of wind emerged from under the huge black wings that spread out, the dense forest swayed, the sky that was tightly covered above was divided, and the bright and dazzling sun poured down, sweeping The dragon's arched back and outstretched wings shone with brilliance, like shining black gems.

Jason was forced to retreat to a tall rock with the thorn bird. He accidentally cast his gaze under the dusty dragon, and his pupils quivered in shock at what he saw.

The place where the dragon crouched and curled up was a bottomless black abyss—an abyss that was exactly the same as the abyss that swallowed the homeland that Jack had seen.

The dense forest faded to the surroundings. He looked at the surrounding scene vigorously, trying to compare it with the somewhat blurred picture in his memory, and finally realized that the angle of view at this moment was the same as in the picture, so he looked down stiffly at the rock he was stepping on now.

It was on this rock that "Jack" stood—absolutely.

The giant dragon had already flown into the air, and the sound could not be called deafening, but it could still resound through the sky.

Its tone was extremely dissatisfied, and it didn't know who it was for.

"What kind of duty is it to resist out of unwillingness?"
