Darkness, darkness without end, consciousness seems to stop at this moment.

I'm dead?

This was Loren's first thought and the only thing he could think of.

My last memory was that Edward's sword pierced my chest, fell into the torrent of the sewer, and then... There was nothing.

Everything is as perfect as your plan and in your expectation;

To make the night watchman and even everyone believe that he is really dead, of course, it needs accurate planning and arrangement - Edward's swordsmanship is very superb. Only he can hit the heart and avoid all fatal injuries perfectly, and breaking the sword can also ensure that there will be no penetrating wounds.

They will doubt Edward, but they can't find evidence; Then the most important thing... What akhat II wants to do is to use his own life to frighten the forces in the imperial capital, not really want his own life.

It's humiliating, but... It's really the only key factor that can keep yourself alive and Edward alive.

Ruud infinite, akhat II... They have no direct reason to kill themselves. Some things can't be put on the table; Because of this, the next plan can be implemented.

Recklessness and impulse never belong to a wizard; Careful planning and enough courage are the key to turning the situation around.

He buried the fire and completed the first step of overthrowing LUT infinite; It's a pity not to kill him, but it's also part of the plan.

Of course, it is impossible not to pay the price... And now I am bearing the consequences of all this.

The body is colder and colder, the temperature is less and less felt, and the consciousness is more and more blurred. We can only feel that everything in front of us is gradually blurred, dark and dark.

Why... It seems that even the memory is beginning to blur?

I'm not really going to die

The blurred picture flashed before my eyes, illogical and chaotic... Everything seemed to be familiar, but I couldn't remember it at all.

Falling, falling, endless darkness... No light, no sound, no temperature.

Myself... Is this falling into the dream world?

Suddenly, the fall stopped, and everything stabilized... Although I couldn't see the familiar picture, I felt so comfortable and pleasant; It's like the moment before you fall asleep.

There is no more comfortable and relaxed feeling than this.

At the moment when everything was stable, Loren seemed to hear something vaguely... It seemed that something was moving, and it felt as if he had heard it somewhere.

Soon, the sound gradually became louder and clearer, and Loren finally remembered - this is the sound of dam flood discharge!

The boundless darkness receded like a flood. The black haired wizard who had just fallen felt that he was rising! Like the earth under your feet, the whole world is moving upward with yourself!

At the moment of rapid rise, the air pressure seems to be rising rapidly; The black haired wizard only felt that his whole person was about to be flattened. He couldn't breathe and couldn't move a finger!

Wait, why... Do I know this?

Why... I... seem to be familiar with these?

I... who is it?

"Loren Turin."

In the dark, the voice was unusually clear.

Like waking up from a dream, Loren suddenly opened his eyes!

The familiar study, fireplace, outside the window is vimpal college at midnight... I am sitting in the comfortable chair in front of the fireplace, and Dalton kand is staring at me with the eyes of the first time they met.

"Guide, mentor..."

"Your expression is confused, which is good." Dalton kand's voice is as sharp as a blade: "it shows that... You are finally beginning to realize your position in the world."

"Not early, not late, just right."

Lauren raised her eyebrows and looked puzzled.

"Anyone who comes into contact with the void and becomes a wizard has ambition - the desire for strength, the desire for change, and the desire to stop being himself." Dalton's tone is as cold as ice:

"But eventually... These ambitions will dissipate. Why?"

This is not a question, but an answer - Lauren nodded slightly: "because of the power of emptiness, because of his broken self again and again."

If you want to get more power and know more about the void, you must build your own theory again and again to form new ideas and destroy the previous... Such a process is no less than a cycle of life and death.

The more powerful wizards are, the more they will repeat this process... Gradually, with the increase of reincarnation and age, they will become more and more indifferent to the present world.

Such indifference makes them have a lower and lower demand for reality. As long as they live - in the eyes of outsiders, this is weakness, and they can even compromise when possible.

"Yes, but not all of them." Dalton continued, "there are still people... Who do not change their original mind in reincarnation, cling to their wild hopes and fight the most desperate struggle at any cost."

Lauren's dark eyes twinkled slightly. He thought of several people.

Master corona and master Albert Tarot are all included.

Peter, the dean of vimpal college, was barely half.

"Your problem lies in yourself." Dalton stared at the dark haired wizard, his eyes became painful and depressed: "your constitution allows you to blur the edge of emptiness and material; your will not only did not dissipate, but strengthened in reincarnation!"

"You try your best to suppress your impulse and sensibility, in exchange for the madness under reason - your strength is based on what you can do that others dare to think but dare not do; even if you have to gamble your life to complete it, you can be careful to be foolproof."

"So... Am I wrong?" Lauren murmured.

"Right and wrong are also relative." Dalton shook his head: "used to abiding by the rules, used to being reasonable, afraid of injury and frustration, hoping that everything will become orderly, afraid of injury and pain..."

"It's all right to do this and think... But it doesn't mean breaking the rules and refusing order... Is wrong." Dalton said expressionless:

"Who told you that you can't control your own destiny?"

"Who told you that you must be obedient and patient with the powerful?"

"Who told you that you can't be the one who dominates the fate of others, so that they can no longer interfere in anything you do?"

Loren raised his eyebrows. "Sounds... Like a madman?"

"It's true... Doing so is tantamount to death. It seems that there is no possibility of success... But it's not impossible!"

Loren's eyes widened and he was shocked!

"Ah --!"

With a loud roar, the cold air sprinkled on the heart like manna to wake up from the darkness.

I'm still alive

I'm not dead?!

The worried Loren widened his eyes, his mind was blank, only shocked and unbelievable. He could only feel his hands and feet cold and could not move.

When he was still shocked by this matter, he didn't notice that there were a group of people around him who were more shocked than him.

"He's awake!"

"He, he's still alive?!"

"The boy is not dead? I saw him die with my own eyes!"

"Holy Cross, cheat, cheat... Cheat the corpse!"

Desperately opened his eyes, Loren saw a group of people around him, shouting and yelling.

So noisy... The dizzy Loren couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Shaky feeling, and muddy air... Yourself, is this on the ship?

That's right. When I came out of the sewer, I should have fallen into the gem river. When I was unconscious, I floated on the river and was saved by them by chance.

Well, it should be.

Without opening his mouth, Loren had made things clear... He looked up at the man in front of him, wearing an eye patch, sloppy and tied with a wooden prosthetic leg.

It looks ferocious. Unexpectedly, it's a good man... Lauren thought.

"Well, excuse me..." the dry and numb lips made it very difficult to speak to the black haired Wizard: "where is this?"

"Oh... Well, this is the black Sparrow!"

The one eyed broken leg man trembled and seemed afraid to come forward: "I'm ed, the captain of this ship. They call me black and blind!"

While saying, he also "enthusiastically" took something out of his arms.

Just how... Like a knife?

"Fight, fight... Rob!"
