Roland Turin and Brunhild?

Lauren frowned slightly, and the candle light kept beating in his pupils.

To tell the truth, when hearing the names of these two people, the black haired wizard was not surprised, even expected - especially after contacting brenhild, and referring to Harlem van achamay's evaluation of the "black Duke", the answer had already been put in front of him.

As for why Ariel and Asriel know this... He doesn't want to ask now. It's a waste of words.

However, Loren still has a question.

"So, Roland Turin... Or the black Duke, once opened three valves to fight against the 'black cross' serliol?" the black haired wizard asked suspiciously:

"Less than a hundred years have passed since the legend of the black Duke. Many people who have seen him live - but why have I never heard anyone mention that he is also a wizard?"

It's impossible to hide such a thing; Even if the black Duke is so rebellious that he can open the valve alone without relying on outsiders; But if you want to get access to knowledge about the void, you must deal with wizards... In the tenth generation, which is far more harsh on wizards than at present, it is impossible.

"About this..." Ariel nodded and patiently explained to the black haired Wizard: "first of all, Roland Turin is not a wizard. From beginning to end, he has nothing to do with the identity of 'wizard'."

"Second, he opened only two valves, not three - but not by himself, but by the power of the nine pointed star grail and the female warrior God Brunhild."

The nine pointed star grail and... The power of the female warrior God?

With the help of the nine pointed star Holy Grail, blurring the boundary between matter and void can indeed help a wizard or human master the first valve - just like throwing an ignorant recruit into the battlefield. As long as he can survive, it is only a matter of time.

But brenhild, how did he... Slightly stunned Loren, suddenly remembered what some blonde boy said a long time ago.

"Yes, that's it."

Asriel, who was ordered to shut up, opened his mouth unhappily, held his shoulder and tilted his chin, looking angry and wronged: "Asriel has already said... As long as dear Loren hopes, Asriel can teach you the way to open the valve at any time, and it doesn't need to be taught by others."

"No, that's not what I asked." stunned Loren waved his hand, his eyes and attention still focused on the girl: "opening the valve is a near death for wizards... Not to mention Roland is not even a wizard!"

"Can an evil god help to open the valve for a person who doesn't know anything about emptiness?"

Ariel, who nodded slightly, shook her head and seemed to be in the same meditation.

"Loren's view is right. Theoretically, it's really impossible - and he opened not only one valve, but two valves." the girl hesitated: "even Ariel doesn't know how brenhild did it."

"But there is no doubt that Roland Turin... He should be the first human to open two valves and survive without knowing nothingness."

Lauren raised her eyebrows and deliberated on the words used by Ariel.

The first human who opened two valves without knowing anything about the void

Two valves

"Why, there must be two valves?"

Almost at the moment when the dark haired wizard whispered, a trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the two "Asriel" and looked at each other.

Not aware of this, Loren is still trying to recall his dialogue with master corona about "valve", trying to find some important clues and keywords.

"... the so-called 'valve' should also be gradually increasing; the process of opening the valve is like the process of evolution..."

"... the first step is to break our own shackles and make our strength reach a certain height - that is, the so-called 'surpassing ourselves'. Some wizards call this step' extraordinary '..."

"... the second step is to improve our wisdom so that our thinking can match our strength... We will get a new" vision "to understand what ordinary people can't understand; at the same time, we will find our own" eyes "

The first is to open the first valve. Loren has deeply experienced it many times - his own power will no longer be limited in any form, and all magic spells can maximize its power, even interfere with the law.

Before the mental strength is exhausted, all the previous limitations will no longer exist, any injury can instantly return to the state before opening the valve, and the reaction and observation power have been significantly improved; You can even clearly feel the power of emptiness waving at your fingertips.

Indeed, it is definitely not the power you can have; It's more like taking advantage of a loophole in a "mechanism" between the two worlds.

And open the second valve - according to corona, it will improve your wisdom and find peeping into your "eyes"

Wait a minute, he seems to have said that he is "the second wizard with two 'valves' known in wizard history".

Once Lauren didn't care much about this sentence, but now looking back, maybe he didn't mean "Logan in a hat", but "black Duke" Roland Turin.

The first person who was not a wizard but opened two valves.

Corona is a wizard who has experienced the tenth generation. In other words, he must know something about the situation after opening the second valve, not just from ancient books.

That's why he has such confidence in himself that helping himself is beneficial to the "wizard's future"?

But... Eyes?

Matter and void, the opposition between the two worlds?

Loren's left eye kept jumping, and these keywords floated in his mind.

"With the help of the nine pointed star Holy Grail and the female warrior God, Roland Turin opened two valves and went to the road of confrontation with serliol or something else, such as the Holy Cross." low pitched Loren seemed to be talking to himself and wanted to ask something: "that is to say..."

"Only by opening the 'two' valves can we stand on the battlefield of equality and opposition with them; and at the moment of opening the second valve, the other party will immediately notice... Is that so?"

Ariel paused for a long time, and her bright red eyes focused on the black haired wizard's eyebrows, as if she was still amazed by the words just said.

"Yes, indeed."

"But it was not detected by serliol or some... Evil god."

Huh?

Lauren frowned slightly, "what's that?"

"Will be immediately detected by the void!"

Asriel, who interrupted, no longer made ambiguous jokes on his face, but became extremely dignified:

"When you have opened your eyes, no longer covered by chaos and sensibility, and can actually 'see' the existence of the void, it means that you are also exposed in front of the void."

"You will no longer be a beast waving infinite power, but surpass it and have a higher level of 'wisdom'."

"Your language, will, and even the lightning of the collision of thinking will be given practical significance."

"You will be able to actually touch, observe, and really understand and use your own power, not 'borrow' power."

"You even... Will no longer be a wizard."

No longer a wizard?

The black haired wizard with a confused face has a vague expression, like falling into the fog.

He found out why Roland Turin had to open two valves - obviously, whether a wizard or not, when he opened the two valves, he would be able to use his "own" power, and every move and every thought would be given "meaning".

In other words, when the two valves are opened, Roland Turin is no longer a mortal - at least not an ordinary person - can observe the void directly rather than indirectly, and can actually threaten serliol, right?

The ignorant Loren can only speculate vaguely.

"But why do you say... Will no longer be a wizard?"

After looking at each other in the face of the black haired wizard's question, Asriel slowly turned his head: "because from this step, you have to say goodbye to yourself... More accurately, the 'mortal body'."

Lauren was slightly stunned, but not surprised.

"No, dear Loren, Asriel didn't explain it clearly - it doesn't mean that you have to change your identity, or even change your species. This concept is beyond it." Asriel, like a child eager to explain, said in a hurry:

"Once you take this step, whether you can turn back is the second... At least, you will no longer be you and yourself in the material world, but at the same time, you are not an evil god in the void!"

"Just as Miss fake said, sandwiched between the void and the material world does not belong to the left or the right; sandwiched between evil gods and humans does not belong to the former or the latter!"

"What am I?" the black haired wizard blurted out.

"You will be 'Loren Turin'!" the blonde replied firmly: "you will not be a human, not a physical foetus, not any intelligent humanoid creature, not a species of the compendium family..."

"You are 'Loren Turin' - you will be yourself!"

The black haired wizard looked blankly and seemed to understand, but it seemed that there were more problems.

"This is the level that Roland Turin has reached, and that of Logan in a hat..." Asriel stared at him and closed his mouth:

"They stop here because they can only reach this level at most."

"But Loren... You can go one step further and open the third valve."

This time, there was an ambiguous temptation in the blonde's voice: "you will become the ultimate of objective existence, the will of the world and the unique existence in this world."

Lauren frowned and stared at the candle in front of her.

"Dear Loren, I have promised you many things - power, wealth, status, strength, wisdom... I have promised you too much, and now it's time for Asriel to fulfill it."

Staring into the dark haired wizard's eyes, Asriel slowly said, "as long as you speak, Asriel will do everything to help Loren open the third valve."

"For a wizard, touching the third valve is the ultimate dream of the collective; for a ruler, it will also give him supreme power and authority."

Loren was silent.

"More importantly, this is also the only way to protect friends and yourself from the hands of the 'black cross' serliol; the only choice to protect the world from the hands of the Holy Cross." Asriel's voice is becoming softer and softer, with soul stirring power: "Roland Turin, Logan... They all failed."

"Because they only open and can only open two valves... They are limited by themselves and can't reach a higher level and reach the real peak."

"No longer bound by the vulgar world, no longer controlled by the wishes of others, and no longer need to worry about the possibility of being threatened - because you will restrict the vulgar world and control the wishes of others."

"Use the will of the king to dominate the fate of all creatures - the earth, the sky, the sea, life, death... All, all."

"At that time, Loren, you can plan and arrange a better future than the world controlled by those 'bad guys' according to your own ideas."

The voice fell, but the black haired wizard didn't show any expression as Asriel expected. He still stared at the candle that hadn't been extinguished all night.

The will to come to this world

The master of all creatures

The ultimate dream of a wizard

Lauren gently raised his right hand and extinguished the candle that lit the room.

The room darkened instantly, and a wisp of smoke drifted slowly from his separated fingertips.

The dark haired wizard raised his head and looked at Ariel who had just kept silent like himself:

"The last question - if I really open the third valve, will it have the same ending as the hero 'Turin' wizard in the story just now?"

"In order to completely bring the whole world into control, abandon yourself or even all, and finally turn yourself into an evil god in an attempt to control the fate of the whole world."

The girl smiled gently, and her mouth curled up with a refreshing charm.

"No, it won't - Dear Loren, it will have a better ending and a better future than the wizard of Turin. It will never become a beast that demands unlimited power, power and desire."

"Why?" the dark haired wizard said faintly, and his godless eyes seemed to be talking to himself: "recall the past few years, didn't I do the same thing as the wild beast I asked for?"

"It's just that he knows his goal, and I don't know - from this point of view, I'm probably not as good as him."

"No, Ariel is sure, she will not." Ariel, who spoke faintly, was so resolute:

"Because... Stories are false."
