Can we destroy and even control the whole world only with forces that do not belong to the "material world"?
The dark haired wizard whose consciousness still remained in the shock before thought about the meaning of this sentence.
So far, all the "forces" Loren has encountered are, without exception, using the "force of emptiness" to deceive the material world - powerful high-order magic spells, and the power that evil gods can destroy by "waving their hands", which can not be avoided.
Even if master Halin van achmai's "reincarnation" law, which is strong against the sky, transforms the body of an evil god born from the void into a creature in the material world, he is only making use of the original power of the material world.
To put it more bluntly, these "anti heaven spells" and the world are similar to the relationship between software and system - even if it makes the water burn and the flame boil, it is only a change of appearance, but it is still unable to jump out of the circle of "the world".
Loren has only seen two examples of pure use of the "force of emptiness";
The first is the "dream world" and the weakened version of the "spiritual Palace", but this is actually a very inappropriate example, because the role of both is to completely isolate the external void forces, which means "attack the other's shield with the other's spear".
Another is the "black cross" serliol... Although I don't know how he did it, that power is absolutely empty.
However, destroy and even control the whole world with the power of emptiness
How can we do it?
While the dark haired wizard was still in a state of contemplation, Asriel opposite the candlelight spoke again, but his childish voice seemed to come from the deep valley:
"But before doing all this, the 'Turin' wizard must face a problem he has to face."
"What's the problem?" asked Loren hurriedly, even forgetting to doubt whether these contents are true.
"The wizard named 'Turin', all his achievements are based on studying the void from the perspective of the material world - if he wants to completely control the power of the void, it means abandoning the power he already has."
The scarlet pupils shone with candlelight, and the blonde boy was like a storyteller by the fireside, introducing the black haired wizard into a purely fictional story with a gentle tone:
"So he made a very bold plan to completely deny his full understanding of the power of emptiness and abandon everything that exists objectively... Both himself and himself."
"Erase the wizard named 'Turin' from the material world, so as to 'transform' into an image in the void that can not be accurately defined by any appearance of the material world, or even can only be marked with a specific 'noun'."
Loren became more and more confused.
Completely abandon everything that exists objectively and erase yourself from the material world
Unable to accurately define the appearance of
Images that can only be marked with specific "nouns"
What the hell?
The dark haired wizard who didn't know where he was could only use his own impression to probe and ask, "so according to this plot... 'Turin' wizard transformed himself into an evil god?"
"Yes, he turned himself into an evil god... Maybe even the first evil god." as if he had expected Loren's expression, Asriel's mouth bent into a very elegant angle:
"Dear Loren, you can imagine the power he uses, but you'd better not know what it looks like - it doesn't belong to the material world at all, let alone any objective existence."
"Because only by using forces that absolutely do not belong to objective existence can we firmly control them from places beyond the reach of the material world and according to the ideas of the wizard of 'Turin'."
Loren frowned: "if his power is not an objective thing at all, but completely... According to you, where the material world can't reach - how can the 'Turin' wizard control the whole world if he doesn't even exist?"
"Of course, in a way that the material world can never resist."
The blonde boy sitting upright on the chair smiled, and his delicate face looked so naive and simple:
"From the scope that the world can't reach, destroy it in a way that it can't resist, and finally surrender."
Unreachable scope, unreachable way... Lauren raised his eyebrows with interest: "for example - law, belief, new concept, doctrine... Or the lightning of thought?"
"Is it to completely enslave all creatures with faith and make them surrender willingly, or to completely deny the existence of the world from the ideological level?"
Midnight moonlight, through the curtains into the dim room; It did not illuminate the darkness, but dyed the black haired wizard's cheek with silver.
Asriel, who did not answer Loren's question, slowed down his speech again with a meaningful expression:
"This process can never be smooth sailing. It can even be called twists and turns - of course, this is also the need of the plot, otherwise the whole invincible text will be too boring?"
"He wants to completely erase himself from the material world and deny his existence." holding his chin gently, Loren speculated cautiously: "I guess... The 'Turin' wizard is quite weak these days?"
"The people who resisted him were also acutely aware of this... Of course, it can not be ruled out that the wizard in Turin told them in some way."
Asriel looked at the dark haired wizard with four eyes and continued to tell: "then, an unprecedented turbulence began."
"The once mighty kingdom became weak and powerless overnight; it was very weak in the face of the rebel people and the attack of the Dragon - there were routs on the battlefield one after another."
"No one knows when and by whom; even their purpose has begun to become very vague. From confronting the common enemy, the former king has changed into interest competition, and there has been a war between them."
"Yasur elves, dwarves of Yunling Kingdom, centaurs of the great green sea, ogres, trolls... Of course, there are humans, sakran, Bain, Arles, elmans, Boyi, loterians..."
"All kinds of ethnic groups, races, kingdoms, civilizations and heroes... Mushroomed rapidly on the corpses of the Dragon Kingdom, quickly occupied a large territory of this dying country, and then... Entered the process of mutual war and crusade."
The blonde's voice was calm and calm, as if he were telling a fact he had seen with his own eyes.
But the next second, Loren raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Two questions." the black haired wizard stared at his eyes the same color as blood: "first of all, I've learned that your statement about the rise of dwarves and Byrnes is too vague and even suspected of being deliberately induced."
"Azores, dwarves in Yunling, centaurs and many ancient kingdoms... Their rise and prosperity are completely different. Some even step on the body of the former to become strong and unified, not at the same time."
"The emergence of the Byrne nation stems from the long-term oppression and slavery of the dwarves; in other words, as early as the Dragon Kingdom, the dwarves have entered an all-round prosperity;"
"The rise of the kingdom of sakran is due to the plan of the Dragon kingdom. Before that, according to Brandon de saleon, it was just a small state inferior to the slaves of the Dragon kingdom."
Asriel giggled and shrugged, with an expression of indifference.
"Second, about the Dragon... I got a completely different statement in the Dragon King tower."
"It is true that the Dragon kingdom once hunted dragons in the earliest time, but then they have surrendered - not only that, the royal family of the Dragon Kingdom also mastered the secret method of communicating with dragons and trained a large number of loyal Dragon Knights."
"On the way to the Dragon King tower, the one in front of us is one of them."
"And... What should be the explanation for the Dragon Queen Brunhild, who married the ancestors of de sallion at the end of the war, and the twelve dragons she brought? According to the wizard in the Dragon King tower, the last royal family should give up restoring the Kingdom and use the Empire to continue their blood."
"All this is very different from what you just said!"
Under Loren's cold gaze, Asriel not only didn't refute immediately, but showed a very ambiguous smile and put his head across the table.
While Loren was still in doubt, he could only hear the boy's whisper:
"Dear Loren, from what moment did you begin to tell the story told by Asriel..."
"... as the truth?"
As soon as the pupils coagulated, the expression of the black haired wizard kept changing.
"But then again... How can you be sure that what the tomb keeper in the Dragon King tower believes... Must be the truth of history?"
"Since the 'Turin' wizard has insight into the future, why can't he arrange all this? Even the research on the 'Holy Cross', including the Dragon King tower, is a lie specially woven by him?"
The frowned Lorraine leaned back slightly and avoided the blonde boy's head, which had reached the tip of his nose: "you mean..."
"If there is any difference between the kind Asriel and everyone else, it must be honesty." the blonde blinked his eyes and pursed the corners of his mouth as if to tell how "sincere" he was:
"When everyone is lying, they are desperately telling others how sincere they are, and even believe them - only Asriel always tells his audience in the most appropriate way..."
"Everything I say, without exception, is a lie."
The black haired wizard stared at the boy and was completely shocked by the endless "truth".
"Speaking of lies, dear Loren." Asriel's expression changed again and looked at Loren absently: "have you found the truth you want from Asriel's completely fictional story?"
"What you pursue tirelessly is the truth you expect, but you can't see through at a glance."
The truth I expected?
Lauren was silent, immersed in this sentence, thinking about its meaning.
In this fictional story, what do I really care about, want to know and hope to exist.
Is it the truth of the history of the Dragon kingdom?
No... Asriel's story has proved the absurdity of this word. Even if you ask more people for more content, you can only get the truth of "standing in their position", just like the tomb keeper of the Dragon King tower.
Is it the plan and purpose of the black cross?
Maybe, but in fact, Loren doesn't care very much - no matter what his purpose is, he will attack the Empire, attack himself and take away the only two nine pointed star Holy Grails in the world... Knowing this, what his purpose is is not so important.
Is it the origin of the birth of Wizards?
Ayn may be interested, but he won't, for the same reason as the first question.
What the hell is that?
Lauren, who was like a dreamer talking nonsense, opened his mouth trembling with disbelief:
"The way to open the valve and become an evil god with a mortal body?"
"Bang --!"
The midnight cold wind opened the closed window, and the black haired wizard who tightened his heart turned his eyes almost at the same time.
There is nothing but the cold, piercing wind.
The silent blonde didn't answer Lauren's question immediately. He got up slowly, put the napkin on his lap and left his chair.
Gently closing the window, Asriel turned his back to the dark haired wizard and said in a slightly sharper voice:
"That... Is only half the truth at most."
Half the truth?
Confused Loren raised his eyebrows and didn't even notice the change in Asriel's voice: "what's the other half?"
"The other half..."
The blonde turned and approached gracefully; In the black haired wizard's suspicious expression and eyes, his left hand pressed his shoulder and his right hand opened against his chest.
Under the chest, there is an obviously tense heartbeat.
"It's a more practical and obvious existence." in Lauren's changing expression, Asriel's face leaned closer and closer, and finally pressed him directly on the back of the chair:
"As long as dear Loren can calm down, he will soon find out - rational thinking and clear mind, aren't they the basic qualities of a wizard?"
"Hey... Hey, hey... You, you, wait, I said what you want to do. It should have nothing to do with what we just talked about..."
At the next moment, the dark haired wizard's sight darkened.
My mouth seems to be blocked by something
Huh?!
Ten seconds later, Loren regained his eyesight, and then his pupils shrank sharply.
I don't know when the "Asriel" on my body has turned into a long gray hair, and my figure is more petite than before.
Only those scarlet eyes remain as before.
"Ariel... Wanted to do this a long time ago." licking the corners of her lips, the pale girl showed a very ambiguous smile:
"Make some bad guy crazy with jealousy."
