Throne of Radiance

The name of the red-haired boy is Jonas, he is the son of the duke of a certain kingdom. Under Bai Yi's intentional contact, he successfully became friends with the other party, and learned a lot from this extraordinary nobleman's son that ordinary people don't know. Confidential information.

The academy's library, as another channel for gaining common knowledge of the extraordinary world, has also become a frequented place for Bai Yi.

Under such circumstances, Bai Yi quickly figured out the general situation of this nightmare fragment dungeon.

According to the level of power, this is probably the super magic world with the highest level of power he has encountered so far. It is composed of multiple planes. At present, the plane dominated by wizards is the strongest and the center of this super magic world.

The mortal country on the mainland is similar to the medieval west, consisting of large and small kingdoms and principalities, but even the emperor of the most powerful country is just a mortal in front of wizards.Becoming a sorcerer's apprentice is an honor that princes and queens long for, even the emperor's throne does not have that kind of attraction.

The existence of wizards is half-open and half-secret on this continent. Nobles with a certain status are aware of their existence. Once there are qualified bloodlines among their descendants, they will try their best to send them to the wizards' colleges and train them to become wizards. wizard.But ordinary civilians don't know about the existence of wizards, they just think it's just a legend.

Unless you are lucky enough to meet a passing wizard, and the wizard happens to find a talented commoner and take him as an apprentice.

But this small act will change the fate of the family.

If this apprentice did not die in the middle, but became a powerful wizard, maybe a wizard family would be opened in the future.

In addition, wizards generally condense energy cores in their bodies. Each wizard is equivalent to a walking source of radiation. The fluctuations they emit will not harm extraordinary creatures, but they are harmful to ordinary people. Over time, they will erode the vitality of ordinary people .

This also makes a more clear dividing line between wizards and ordinary people, like two species with different levels.

Because of this, wizards can do whatever they want in this world, and their status is higher than that of emperors in feudal dynasties. After all, their power prevents them from being overthrown by anyone.

Among them, the black wizard treats ordinary people no differently from other extraordinary creatures, and they are all experimental materials that can be used casually.The white wizard will not take the initiative to harm ordinary people when it is not necessary, but he has no mercy for non-human extraordinary creatures.

Among the wizards, there are also organizations of different sizes, they are distributed in the most mysterious area on the mainland, and they are also various dangerous forbidden places passed on by the adventurers on the mainland, including but not limited to forests, swamps, Graveyards, deep seas, etc. Various areas.

The wizards of the elemental school generally choose places with rich natural elements. The wizards of the life school are interested in many places such as cemeteries and forests according to their major branches. As for the wizards of the bloodline school, wherever there are extraordinary creatures with special bloodlines, there are them.

Outside of the wizard plane, there are many other planes dominated by otherworldly beings.Powerful wizards are very keen on exploring other planes, acquiring brand-new knowledge of truth, supplementing the subject knowledge of their school, and improving their own strength.In particular, the School of Bloodlines and the School of Life are always eyeing supernatural beings from other planes. The former is keen to study the innate superpowers in their bloodlines, while the latter focuses on their origin of life and body structure different from that of humans. .

A wizard's spells are different from magic. The root of spells comes from the research and exploration of truth knowledge.

Just like the formulas in mathematical physics and chemistry, mastering a certain "formula theorem" studied by the predecessors can combine elements into spells according to the formula and release them.

But such people can only be regarded as ordinary wizards.

Only by researching new formulas and theorems and creating new spells by oneself can it be possible to keep moving forward, and eventually even form a system of its own and obtain its own title.

"It feels like a wizard is a crazier scientist..."

After thinking this through, Bai Yi found it a little funny.

Elemental School, Life School, and Bloodline School, some of the courses of the three schools are the same. It’s not that if you choose one school, you can’t take courses from other schools.

"How should I put it? Let's think of it as going to a special university. In reality, I probably don't have the opportunity to go to university. I didn't expect to be able to experience the feeling of going to university in the nightmare fragment dungeon. The world is really strange... "

And the wizard's learning is more interesting than in reality. After mastering the formula of fire, he can release the fireball spell with a wave of his hand.Combined with the science education that Bai Yi has been exposed to in reality, he seems to look at the content he has learned from a new perspective.

Just like the anatomy in the life school, it seems to be similar to the anatomy that Bai Yi taught himself in reality, but in the process of learning, the perspective of wizards is different from that of those anatomy textbooks in reality. The elemental fluctuations, blood energy, and even the soul of life are pictures that scientists in reality cannot see.

But in reality, some data captured by scientists using scientific instruments is also not valued by wizards in this world.

It's as if on the same thing, scientists and wizards have chosen different angles to observe and study.And Bai Yi, who can combine the thinking of the two, is undoubtedly the most comprehensive and the closest to the essence of truth.

Bai Yi was almost immersed in the joy of studying for a while, and almost forgot that she was playing a dungeon.

The talent and insight he showed were quickly noticed by many mentors, and because of this he was "invested" by many wizards who were optimistic about his future. Concentrate on learning.

In the Wizarding Academy, on a gray-white trail, bell-shaped purple flowers swayed along the roadside, sending out a sweet song.

This is the only way from the classroom to the dormitory.

And the purple flower on the roadside is a supernatural thing called "gu radish", which can be used as medicine itself. The pollen it spreads in the air and the melodious song contain hallucinogenic energy. In the wild, once If someone is accidentally tricked and falls asleep, the blood will be sucked dry by the rapidly opening flowers.I don't know how many fledgling mercenaries were recruited and died in the wilderness.

This supernatural plant, which is extremely cruel to ordinary people, is just the lowest level and most harmless supernatural plant in the world of wizards. Every wizard apprentice must learn two small spells in the first class. "Awakening Technique" and "Dust-free Technique" - one is equivalent to pricking yourself with a needle when dozing off, and the other is similar to a transparent shield, but it can only block the powder in the air from invading the body surface , attack with a little force, and this passport will burst like a bubble—it's just right for dealing with this harmless transcendent plant.

The instructor of pharmacy would occasionally issue tasks, asking to pick a certain amount of Gu radish to be used as medicine.There are also many wizards who like to grow gu radish in their homes as a natural music box.

The young man in a dark gray apprentice robe walked slowly past with a few books in his arms. The transparent spell runes were assembled in front of his eyes like dense formulas, turning into a circle of invisible water waves flowing gently and elegantly on the young man's body, like a transparent bubble. Bubbles, to isolate the pollen in the air, as for the hallucinogenic effect of the singing, in Bai Yi's spiritual world, it can't even cause ripples.

——His movements are so light, and he is very familiar with casting spells.No wonder he had already risen to the highest level of apprenticeship in such a short period of time. From his original light gray robe to a dark gray robe, he was only one step away from becoming an official wizard.

It would be impossible for other wizard apprentices to be so calm.Some idiots who didn't listen carefully in class were caught in the trick as early as the way back to the dormitory from the classroom after the first class, and fell on this seemingly ordinary road, becoming the nourishment of Gu Luo.

And the rest of the academy is used to it.

Such is the cruelty of this wizarding world.

Back in her single dormitory, Bai Yi put down the book in her arms. On the cover of the book, lines containing magic power outlined a complex square pattern.

Bai Yi ran the meditation method of the academy, and his spiritual power outlined it out of thin air. In midair, an identical illusory pattern suddenly formed, and it fell lightly on the pattern on the cover, like a key embedded in a keyhole, perfectly fitting.

The pitch-black book floated up by itself and slowly opened.

There are wonderful lights and shadows floating from the pages of the book, slowly sketched on this book, as if forming a three-dimensional VR projection.

In the projection, the extraordinary creature in the shape of a black snake let out a silent and real scream, disintegrated from the skin to the bones, and was cut clean from top to bottom by the floating crystal knife.Obviously, the person who did it has superb anatomical skills to the extreme.

And next to those fragmentary parts floating in mid-air, lines of explanations corresponding to the notes slowly emerged.

Including the names, structures, functions, status of stored magic power of these parts, and even which disciplines of spells can be used, or which disciplines of spells borrow the ability of a certain part of this extraordinary creature, they are all clearly explained.

——This is the book he borrowed from the wizard area of ​​the library through the qualification certificate granted by the Julian tutor.

Judging from the cover and the contents of the first page, it is obviously an anatomy of an extraordinary creature, and it is also the notes of a wizard of the bloodline school.

"Is this the legendary holographic projection teaching?"

Bai Yi gave the owner of this notebook a good review.

"...If the teaching materials in reality are all in this mode, it will be much easier for the scumbags to learn."

In the single dormitory, he watched with gusto and concentration, and from time to time uttered words of sudden realization, so he sent a supernatural creature to make him make gestures himself.

I don't know how long it has passed, when Bai Yi came back to his senses, it was already evening, he released a lighting technique, and the whole person slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, finally realizing what happened.

"I actually studied hard all afternoon...?"

Bai Yi was in a trance, immersed in the unbelievable.

... Is he really such a person who loves learning?

Well, of course, I have always been such a person.

After a moment of doubt, Bai Yi nodded herself.

However, I always feel as if I forgot something?

Forgot what?

"Ahhh." With a flash of inspiration, Bai Yi slapped his right hand with his left hand, "Isn't it possible to hang up the phone to learn this kind of thing?"

...Let the character learn by himself, grow by himself, and then he takes over, isn't this what he has always done?

What's more, compared to the characters in the previous dungeons who started with a normal start, Bai Yi can also improve the character while learning in the dungeon. This character already has nearly a thousand replay experiences. The level is repainted as a blank board, but the truth knowledge he has mastered is undoubtedly at the full level, and there is no need to continue learning these spells that the other party has already mastered.

That is to say, Bai Yi was holding back this time?

If the character itself is a first-level account for whitewashing, Bai Yi, the first time he came into contact with the wizard system, is undoubtedly a novice in this dungeon. Choosing to hang up and let the original character grow on its own is definitely more efficient than Bai Yi's control.

"Could it be that I'm going to lie down and win this time?"

Realizing this, Bai Yi felt complicated.

However, since the character has been replayed so many times and still cannot get rid of death, it means that it is impossible to complete the task by relying on the growth of the character itself.Even if this character has grown into the ceiling of the wizarding world, possessing the most powerful power.

In order to complete the task and survive the fate of death, the intervention of the variable Bai Yi is bound to be required.

So, what can Bai Yi do to help this character change his destiny?

The answer to this question is simple -

Bai Yi holds the knowledge of truth from other worlds outside this world.

For wizards, knowledge of truth is the source of power.Whether it is the science of the real world, the development of the human body by the martial arts system, the utilization of spiritual power and the excavation of spirituality by the spirit casting system, or the knowledge in so many nightmare copies that Bai Yi has experienced, they can all be turned into new power .

During this period of time, the reason why Bai Yi devoted himself to learning spells in this dungeon was not only because he was interested in the new system and obsessed with learning, but more importantly, his goal was to integrate other knowledge outside this world into it without any trace. , Replace the traditional thinking mode of local wizards with his broad thinking mode.

In other words, for the characters he controls, incorporate more of the characteristics that Bai Yi showed in this copy.

In this way, after choosing to hang up.This character will embark on a new path of growth with the brand-new characteristics endowed by Bai Yi.

[The on-hook mode is about to start. 】

[In the idle mode, the time in the Nightmare Fragment copy is accelerated.The game characters will continue to grow according to the characteristics given by the players, and the system will deduce their fate line for a period of time in the future until they reach the pinnacle of fate reasonably. 】

[The game character [Palmer] has its own characteristics: [Paranoid] [Desire to Survive] [Fear of Death] [Safety First] [999 restarts of full spell mastery experience]]

[Currently the main traits given to the game character [Palmer] by players are: [Easy to learn] [Different thinking mode from ordinary people] [Research madness] [Special knowledge that does not belong to this world] [New understanding of spells] [Spiritual understanding] A new use of force and soul energy] [Extreme self-confidence]]

[The [Self-Doubt] trait that the character itself has failed many times has been defeated by the [Extreme Self-Confidence] trait you gave. 】

[Combined with the world view of the Nightmare Fragment copy, in the following time, the character [Palmer] who has been endowed by you with brand-new characteristics will re-learn spells from a new perspective, understand the world, and make unremitting efforts to avoid the fate of death in the future... Based on this, the system will deduce the next fate line of the character. 】

[Do you want to turn on the on-hook mode? 】

·

After choosing to hang up, Bai Yi logs out from the copy.

But he didn't leave the nightmare immediately, but reappeared on the deep sea, where the two big stars shone.

"How about the performance of these people?"

As soon as Bai Yi appeared, Adams reacted: "As you said, I recorded everyone's performance, especially the most outstanding one..."

He handed a dark notebook to Bai Yi.

"Although it's only been one night, these people in the nightmare trial have died more than ten times..."

Bai Yi activates part of the system's functions in the nightmare trial. Whenever the trialer dies, the next round will be automatically opened. They cannot choose to quit, nor can they choose whether to start a new round. They can only repeat it again and again. Passively restarting, watching disasters happen again and again, trying every means to save others, and finally facing death in vain.

——It sounds like some kind of cruel punishment.

But what is about to happen in the real world will never be easier than the nightmare world that keeps repeating itself.On the contrary, in the nightmare world, they still have the opportunity to come back again and again, but in the real world, every choice they make cannot be repented, and may even determine the future of many people in the world.

Bai Yi took it as a kind of preview in advance.

Presumably having experienced so many trials in the nightmare world, these people must be able to make more decisive and experienced choices when the real world is also facing desperation?

And that would avoid a lot of trouble that shouldn't have happened.

In the starlight of the sky, the boy above the sea suddenly bent over sharply, his pale face almost collided with the pitch-black sea, the deep sea water overflowed his nose and eyelashes, and the boy's pitch-black eyes reflected There are many different pictures of the swaying starlight under the deep sea.

That is the picture of everyone's trial in the nightmare world.

Bai Yi suddenly raised his head.

There were still crystal drops of water hanging on his eyelashes, and some drops of water slid down his face.

"That's enough. That's enough, that's all."

"It's time for them to know the truth about the world."

Among the floating fragments of starlight, consciousnesses that have been put into it are uploaded along the web of thought, and slowly emerge in the blank dreamland fabricated by Bai Yi. blank.

They didn't understand what happened, they just dodged instinctively, using the experience of dying many times in the trial to put themselves in the least injured posture for the first time, so that they had the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment.

Then, they found that other people who were also watching vigilantly saw themselves vigilantly in the vigilant eyes of the other party.

"what happened?"

"Have you failed yet again?"

"I still haven't been able to save those people. I know they are just NPCs in a false dream, but are they really just NPCs? That world...is it really just a dream?"

"...Finally came out of that ghostly place!"

"Is this the man behind the scenes finally showing up?"

"A lot of people! A lot of recognizable faces... Detective Division, Haotian Temple, the House of Representatives... Is this the ghost of the official organization? Wait, that person is..."

Many thoughts came to everyone's minds, but they still maintained vigilance and calm on their faces. At most, they just exchanged eyes with each other when they recognized their acquaintances in reality.

"Not bad. You look the part."

Above the blank dreamland, a figure quickly emerged.It's as if someone took a paintbrush to outline on white paper, and it took a few strokes to take shape.

"...This is worthy of Lord Bai's attention!"

The little boy in a small suit nodded solemnly.His eyes swept over everyone, as if picking watermelons in the vegetable market.

The people below didn't answer, but kept cautious and looked at him silently.Although the people from the Detective Department recognized Adams' identity, they didn't intend to speak up on this occasion.

So, Adams was able to continue, and he played freely according to the script given by Bai Yi: "Many people still don't know why they entered the nightmare trial, let me explain."

"—This is the opportunity Lord Bai Wang gave you."

As he spoke, Adams' tone became higher and higher. He waved his short arms with high emotions and crazy Amway.

"Lord Bai Wang has been watching everyone. The characteristics you showed in the disaster moved him, and he won such a precious opportunity for you..."

Such an aggressive speech made others unable to complain.

Finally, a person who was tortured mentally in the nightmare test couldn't help but whispered: "So being thrown into the doomsday world to die repeatedly, can it be considered a precious opportunity?"

No one noticed, the figure of the boy in mid-air was illusory for a moment.

The vest was replaced, and Bai Yi quietly entered the number.

He lowered his head and stared at the people below. Although many people did not speak rashly, they probably had similar thoughts in their hearts.

Bai Yi used Adams' waistcoat to temporarily nail her to the point:

"Of course!"

A faint sarcasm crossed the little boy's immature face: "Don't you think that the world of nightmare trials is really just a fictional dream?"

He raised his finger and shook it: "No."

"—they are absolutely real worlds."

"——It is the world that has been destroyed in the ruins."

"Lord Bai Wang just observed the projection of their past destruction, and reproduced that period of history in the dream."

Although it seemed a bit strange to call himself this way, Bai Yi felt that he was becoming more and more proficient... He didn't show any abnormality, and calmly watched the people whose expressions changed drastically.

Some of them may have already guessed the truth.

Baili Zhaoxue suddenly said: "I believe in you. I walked through hundreds of countries on the entire planet alone in the nightmare trial. The huge world, the different nations, and the history and culture dating back thousands of years are not easy to fabricate. False story."

"It is not an exaggeration to say that Lord Bai Wang is a god who can observe the destruction of the real world and reproduce it in the nightmare."

The others also fell silent.

Their silence is already a recognition.

But if Baili Zhaoxue's words were true, a god-like figure would never be idle and bore so many of them into a nightmare to save the world that had long been destroyed.What is the purpose of the other party's so-called trial?

Many people had guesses, which made their hearts sink.

They don't even want to hear what's next.

"It seems that many people have already guessed..."

As if he couldn't read the air, Bai Yi directly said the answer they were most worried about: "The nightmare trial is just a small reminder, the fate that those nightmare worlds are facing is also the future that this world has to face Oh." He blinked his left eye, and said in a brisk tone, "In other words, it won't take long for you to experience what happened to the residents of the nightmare world~"

Everyone's heart plummeted, as if the long-awaited thing finally happened, and both boots finally hit the ground.

In the icy silence, only Bai Yi is still earnestly popularizing science, like a teacher who is serious about teaching.

"Return to the Ruins is the inevitable destination of every world. It is the end of all things, the end of the universe, and everything will be destroyed."

"The disaster during this period is a sign of returning to the ruins. The day when returning to the ruins is very close~"

Saying so, the little boy flicked in mid-air, pulling out an illusory countdown: "Let me see... um."

"Get ready, there are only forty days left~"

"At that time, it will be the first wave of disasters affecting the whole world, and it will not be as small as it is now."

His dark eyes stared at everyone.In the depths of the empty pupils, there seemed to be another vague figure.For a moment, everyone almost thought that the "White King" had arrived.

"You who have been chosen by Lord Bai, do you accept such a future?"

"How can I accept it!"

Among the silent and depressed crowd, someone clenched their fists.

The boy didn't say anything, just pushed his hands forward gently.

In the blank dream world, there seemed to be an invisible wind blowing, pushing everyone back with gentle force.

"Go ahead, everyone."

"To meet the inevitable fate of destruction...or do your best to change that hopeless future."

The world is about to become the grandest stage.

The struggle, death, salvation, and destruction of human beings, the purest good and the most extreme evil, will all be staged in the coming ruins.Life is but the cheapest disposable prop among them.

And I, sitting closest to the stage, will be the last spectator to leave, watching everyone's appearance.
