In the tower of vimpal college, Lauren and Dalton kand sit opposite each other by the fireplace.

"What is a wizard? A good question... It's better than the stupid questions in the past. At least I don't have to repeat common sense." Dalton, who is as mean as ever, is still as sharp as a blade:

"But... It's not me, but you."

"Me?"

"What does it mean to you if you choose to study magic; what does it mean to you if you choose to be a wizard?" Dalton's eyes were burning:

"Think about this sentence and tell me the answer."

"I think this question is too broad."

"No, you're stuck in front of your eyes and make witches your profession." Dalton shook his head. "You see knowledge and power, but you're fascinated by them."

"To explore the truth of the world and to gain more knowledge?"

"For many wizards, yes." Dalton's tone was flat. "But for you?"

"There are many roads, but there is only one end point; there are many choices, but there is only one end; when you become a wizard, the term is no longer a profession, but an identity; you are a wizard, and your life is to realize some impossible processes, but the specific hand is not the most critical."

"Who stipulates that a wizard can only wield a wand, not a sword? Who decides that a wizard will be left in the tower, not the ruling party? Just always remember that you are a wizard, followed by others - that's the most important thing.

A wizard is both a nine pointed star and an endless possibility. "

"The impossible? I thought the gods could do it."

"Gods, that is another level of existence. Goblins, demons and evil gods... You only need to know that they are terrible, but as a wizard, you can still surpass them."

Dalton's suddenly looked straight out of the window: "do you hear the bell? Apprentice, you should wake up!"

The bell?

The faint, leisurely sound came from a distance like the ebb sea water

"Ah --!"

Suddenly awakened, Loren opened his eyes and gradually adapted to the surrounding light in the darkness.

No sense of weightlessness, no fall, no collapse... I feel like waking up from a dream. It's strange and abnormal.

Clutching the "bright silver" in his hand, Loren gasped softly. The cold sweat on his forehead woke him up a lot. Instinctively, he looked around to confirm where he was.

Tall towers, brick walls, looming majestic buildings

I seem to be in some... Castle?

The puzzled black haired wizard raised his head. When he saw the sign on the top of the tower, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This is the nine pointed star wizard tower?!

In the dark midnight, the burning black sun hung high in the dome, and a dead nine pointed star wizard tower was silent in the darkness. He was standing outside its gate, behind him was an invisible abyss.

Just like the dream he first stepped into.

"It should be said... Are they all Asriel? There seems to be some subtle differences in personality, but their aesthetic views are surprisingly similar."

Lauren muttered to himself. Just when he couldn't help but want to laugh, the smile froze on his face, and a sense of surprise and consternation came into being.

No, this is not a dream world - whether it is in the big tree wall or in the dream world of eternal night linmezka, he can feel the strong void power that turns into reality, but it is different here!

I don't feel the strong void residue, and I can use the magic spell as usual, as if

"It's like the real world, isn't it?"

The girl's gentle voice sounded from her ears, and even the touch of light breathing, itchy.

Without any warning, Loren suddenly turned around and pinched the delicate neck with his left hand. The smiling girl was carried in the air by him, and the smile on her face was not reduced at all.

"Dear Loren, do you want to kill Ariel?"

"It depends on the situation." the black haired wizard has revealed his killing intention: "and don't pretend to be poor. You're not afraid at all. You've even figured out a thousand ways to kill me, haven't you?"

"So you might as well answer my question first. Where... Is it?"

"Ariel said that as long as the question is asked by dear Lauren, there will be no reservation." the girl's bloodless face shows deep attachment:

"This is the nine pointed star wizard tower."

"Yes, I'm not a fool and I'm not blind." Lauren sneered, "do you need me to make the problem clearer?"

"No, Loren made a mistake. Ariel said clearly that this is the nine pointed star wizard tower." the girl smiled gently without any impatience:

"It's the real nine pointed star wizard Tower!"

real?

"This is the real nine pointed star wizard tower, which was built by wizards hundreds of years ago to preserve the nine pointed star Holy Grail. The black sun burning in the sky is the evidence.

Yes, dear Loren, I'm surprised, right? You must have seen it in your dream world, but the despicable Asriel lied to you and didn't tell you what it was.

It's not the scenery in your heart, it's the 'valve' of the void and the material world - that's your inherent power, the power that can let you step here! "

Ellie, who was pinched by her throat, slowly raised her right hand. With her fingers, Loren incredibly lowered her head and watched the clothes on her chest burned up, revealing the scar in the center of her heart

The dark brand is surrounded by flames boiling like blood.

"Sure enough... He has guided your strength out, despicable Asriel." a trace of coldness flashed in the girl's eyes: "just as Ariel thought, he is really a villain with a bad heart!"

"You haven't answered my question yet." Lauren's cold left hand exerted a little force, and even could hear the crisp sound of the girl's neck bone.

"The truth is in front of you. This is the power of the nine pointed star Holy Grail. This is your power - let the void overlap with the material, and let the dream alternate with the reality. When your power is completely released, you will become the living nine pointed star Holy Grail!

Do you really think Asriel did this to help you gain strength?

Do you really think that, as he said, all evil gods are threats?

What he did was just for his ambition, dear Lauren. You are just a tool for him to achieve his goal. Why do you do what he wants? "

Ariel trembled and smiled bitterly. Tears flowed out of her crystal eyes: "no... absolutely not... Ariel can't look at Lauren to suffer like that. It's wrong. Dear Lauren shouldn't bear that. Let's end it here."

"Ariel promises not to let Loren feel even a trace of pain. Everything will be very gentle. Give her body to Ariel and sink into sleep calmly, without burden and pain."

"All this is for dear Loren..."

"Suffering, pain, choice... Just leave it all to Ariel."

The surprise and shock on the black haired wizard's face gradually turned into the same gentle and sincere smile.

Ariel smiled, too. She was pinched at the throat, but stretched out her hand like a lover to caress his cheek.

Then, the man who heard the reflection in his crystal eyes read the most sincere words from the bottom of his heart:

"Turin fire --!"

"Boom!"

It is like a real flame wrapping the girl in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the petite body became a cloud of dust on the ground with the burst of fire.

ashes to ashes!

"Why... Know the truth, but still stubbornly?"

Ariel's voice came faintly, as if with a trace of confusion.

Sure enough, she was still alive... She pulled out the "bright silver" and the long sword behind her. The black haired wizard turned and walked into the door of the wizard tower without hesitation.

"Dear Loren, you can't win. Why don't you give up?"

"Impossible?"

Lauren, who murmured in a low voice, stopped, and his stunned expression turned into a sneer:

"I'm sorry, but you seem to have really misunderstood."

"First of all, I've never had a partnership with some damn guy - well, strictly speaking, it's more like mutual use;

Secondly, if you really think we don't know what each other is thinking, it can only prove that you really don't deserve the name 'Asriel';

Finally, I'm a wizard,

All I have to do is make it impossible

Become possible! "
