Chapter 293 (1/2)
The dark haired wizard stood in the alley and watched the carriage leave quietly. Under his indifferent expression, his eyes became more and more silent.
Corona's answer answered the first few questions for him in exchange for more doubts - vanity, reality, evil gods, valves, the ”truth” of history, ”Logan in hat”, the origin of the Holy Cross
The more you know, the more confused you are;
The closer you get to the truth, the closer you feel the ”danger” is to yourself;
As for the ”valve”, according to corona, this force is more similar to the key to open the yoke, and the process of obtaining the valve is like the process of evolution.
Evolution... Why did he use the word?
People or animals who are eroded by the power of emptiness and whose body and even spirit are seriously distorted are called ”mutations”;
The process of building a spiritual palace, systematically learning, contacting the void and mastering knowledge through Ancient Runes, is called ”understanding”.
Evolution... Is a process from low to high, from simple to complex; conceptually, it is fundamentally different from the words ”understanding” and ”mutation”.
Although corona covered up well, his almost arrogant description was like saying that ”human beings are just a low existence”.
His performance makes the black haired wizard more and more suspicious. The reason why corona is willing to communicate with himself on an equal footing is not that the ”valve” is only part, but the vast majority.
Lions don't talk nonsense with sheep, and people don't put animals in the same position as themselves.
While he was meditating, the figure suddenly appeared on one side, which made the black haired wizard raise his head alertly and turn his head expressionless.
It's not a figure. To describe it more accurately, it should be a teenager waiting for him with his hands on his back, and a cat that has snuggled up at his feet.
It's small, with black hair as delicate and smooth as silk. The cry of ”Yingying” is lazy and naughty. It's still rubbing its head against its ankles. It seems that it's no different from an ordinary moon shadow cat... If it doesn't have those scarlet eyes.
”Alas...” the boy with crooked mouth dragged a long tone, deliberately turned his face and smiled: ”for Asriel waiting here, dear Loren, you don't seem to be even a little surprised!”
”Nothing, just used to some uninvited guys.” the black haired wizard with the same sneer replied casually: ”you've already found out where I am, haven't you?”
”This is really strange. Is there anything dear Loren needs to keep secret from his best friend Asriel?”
The boy suddenly showed a very sad expression, sighed and shook his head: ”obviously Asriel can also teach Loren about the knowledge of 'valve'. Why do you have to ask an old grandfather with unknown origin?”
”Maybe it's because every time you ask someone, you have to pay a price?”
”It's different this time.” Asriel's Scarlet pupil flashed a little strange luster: ”Dear Loren, I just helped you get the nine pointed star Holy Grail; if you really want to know how to use it, Asriel will never...”
”Don't trust him!”
The suddenly interrupted boy's face showed some angry and strange expressions. His scarlet eyes stared at the girl who suddenly appeared behind Lauren; the pale girl raised her chin slightly and looked at each other with her bloody pupils.
The cat that had curled up at his ankle had disappeared.
”It's not polite to interrupt when others are talking.” Asriel's eyes narrowed into a slit, showing a ferocious and ”gentleman” smile:
”Miss fake.”
”It's better than a guy who talks sweet words and never tells the truth.” the girl did not forget to salute the black haired wizard in front of her and threw a disdainful ”flying eye” to the boy:
”Silly Asriel.”
The boy took a deep breath and tried to keep his demeanor. His convulsive expression looked at the black haired wizard with the last ”Hope”.
”Dear Lauren, you must believe me! Only I can realize all your wishes; think about what we can't do as long as we trust each other!”
”Oh, poor Asriel, he's still fooling people with the old tricks of hundreds of years ago.” Ariel didn't miss any chance to hit him, and her elegant eyes were full of unspoken contempt and pity:
