Chapter 95 - Extra – Bloody Fairy Tale (5) (1/2)

Because of that lie that he said without thinking, for the past two weeks Cheng Zhi Chu had to act like he liked Chrisis a lot and was doing his best to please him, so every minute and every second of it was very painful. He constantly anticipated for the time distortion to happen soon so that he could quickly return to one thousand years in the future and kiss the twin knights.

This kind of torture lasted for two weeks. On a particular morning, Chrisis suddenly brought Cheng Zhi Chu into a study room. He gave Cheng Zhi Chu the magic books that he had requested from his father and asked him to teach him the basics of magic.

Since a long time ago, the human country had forbidden the act of learning or even talking about magic. As a result, magicians became very rare. However, in private aristocrats still hope for the opportunity to learn magic. Afterall, no one could refuse the chance to possess such mysterious power.

But even if they had magic books, if they didn’t receive guidance from a proper magician to help them learn the basics, they would not be able to use magic. The magician responsible for guiding them must also be someone that they trust, or the risk of magic explosion may occur.

For this reason, for many years Chrisis was not able to learn magic. He couldn’t find a magician that was worthy of his trust. Cheng Zhi Chu was the first one.

Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t know magic, and he is also not a magician so he wasn’t supposed to be able to help Chrisis. However, with the help of the system, he not only allowed Chrisis to gain magic power, he himself also got it.

【But the magic power can only be used here. When you return to one thousand years in the future, the magic power will disappear.]

The system said: 【Because you originally don’t possess any magic power, this is only temporary.]

Then what about Chrisis? Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but be a little disappointed. He asked again: Would his magic power disappear after I leave?

【No, he has a large source of magic power. In the future, he would become a very strong magician and would become the lord governing Eternal Sleep City. He would become an undead magician who will posses dark magic no one else could ever possess.]

But from the looks of it, does it mean that I influenced him a thousand years ago to become a magician….?

Cheng Zhi Chu felt very surprised. He suddenly realised: If this was the case, will he recognise me after I return to one thousand years in the future?

【About that, if he hasn’t forgotten about you, he would probably recognise you.]

The system said: 【This is under the premise that you meet him. You have already kissed him here so there is no need for you to go to Eternal Sleep City anymore. You can just go and find the twin knights directly and complete the last kisses to purify all the soul projections.]

【 At that time, you can throw the coin and let the instance collapse. Mr. Mu will also be able to be completely killed off…… ]

Cheng Zhi Chu looked up at the night sky. The starry milky way was a complete contrast to the sky from a thousand years in the future. At that time, several worlds had been completely destroyed by Mr. Mu, leaving the sky with his horrific and terrifying existence.

With the magic books, Cheng Zhi Chu and Chrisis began to study magic. Cheng Zhi Chu’s control of magic wasn’t bad, but it was nothing compared to Chrisis’s magical talent —– For Chrisis, he wasn’t “learning” and was rather “recording down” magic. No matter how complicated it was, he only had to learn it once to master it.

Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but feel envious. This was especially the case because Chrisis could use the astrology magic at will. When you use this kind of magic, a starry effect would appear. It was both magnificent and powerful. It was Cheng Zhi Chu’s favourite magic.

But astrology magic was very difficult, and you need to have good knowledge of astronomy. Cheng Zhi Chu could only give up astrology magic and just watch Chrisis show it off every day.

Chrisis also happened to like using it in front of him. Cheng Zhi Chu was certain that this guy was doing it on purpose but he not only couldn’t get angry, he even had to smile and praise Chrisis.

“How is it?”

The small stars in the air gradually faded away. The handsome young man placed down his magic wand and raised his eyebrows as he looked at Cheng Zhi Chu. Cheng Zhi Chu immediately cooperated and clapped while incessantly praising the young man. However, the young man was indeed very skilful so his praises weren’t very forced.

“You’re praising me too much. This is clearly very simple to do. Only an idiot like you can’t learn it.”

Although he said that, the young man’s lips still revealed an obvious smile. He was clearly in a good mood.

He pinched Cheng Zhi Chu’s cheek and then called someone to bring something in. He personally brought it over and showed it to Cheng Zhi Chu. It was a magic robe. The soft black material emitted small light, resembling stars in the sky.

“The magic array on it is something that I applied.”

The young man said this and placed the robes on Cheng Zhi Chu: “You put it on.”

“This is…..” Cheng Zhi Chu asked hesitantly, “You are giving it to me?”

Chrisis didn’t deny it: “If you don’t want it, throw it away.”

“Of course I want it.”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes brightened, and he happily wore the robe. It was a robe that he could take out from the instance: “Thank you Chrisis. I like it a lot.”

The young man saw that he liked it and his expression unconsciously softened. He hooked up the corner of his lips and said: “How do you plan to thank me?”

“Ah………..” Cheng Zhi Chu was stuck. He realised that he had nothing to give him, “What do you want?”

He pondered inside but he couldn’t guess what the young man wanted. The smile on the young man’s face faded and he snorted coldly. He pinched his jaw and kissed him on the lips.

“Remember this stupid. This is how you should thank me in the future.”

………….

The leisurely time didn’t last very long. Cheng Zhi Chu realised that recently Chrisis has been getting more and more busy, and he no longer had the time to learn magic. He would go a whole day without seeing the other person. The bureaucrats working at the government building also appeared to be rushing about. It looked like they had encountered something tricky.

It was only until the lord of the city summoned for Cheng Zhi Chu and asked him if he knew of any magic that could solve the plague epidemic or food shortage that Cheng Zhi Chu understood that they were facing a sudden attack of natural disasters. It affected the entire continent.

Earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, plagues……They were all ravaging through the continent at an alarming rate. Even Emerald City which is famous for his tranquillity was seriously affected. A large number of migrants flooded into the city causing the sudden outbreak in epidemic. For the past few days, the entire government was working to deal with the problems caused by the refugees.

“I can help produce magic potions for the residents.”

Cheng Zhi Chu could indeed buy medicine from the mall to cure the epidemic, but he couldn’t do anything else that could help with the disasters.

Only he knew that this world was about to meet its end and transform into a terrible hellish world. The residents of Emerald City were also doomed to become the walking dead that would one after another choose to sleep eternally.

His mood became very heavy. The unsuspecting city lord who heard that he could make potions for the residents was pleased. He gave Cheng Zhi Chu this important task and said that he would reward him graciously.

Cheng Zhi Chu naturally refused the reward. After discussing with the lord, he left the building where the bureaucrats worked and left. The moment he went out, dark clouds suddenly rolled over. In an instant, the sky darkened, and the roar of thunder was heard. Rain poured down heavily.

The rain came suddenly and very quickly. A dense curtain of rain fell to the ground making everything before him almost completely white. Almost nothing could be seen ahead of him.

With such a downpour, even magic couldn’t prevent him from getting wet. Cheng Zhi Chu hurried back through the rain and his whole body was soaked.

He changed his clothes and stood in the room drying his hair. He could hear the heavy rain slamming against the window and he couldn’t help but worry about the glass possibly shattering.

【This rain is really coming down.] The system said. 【If not for the city still existing a thousand years later, I would have suspected that this downpour would cause a flood that would flood the city.]

Don’t jinx it…..Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t help but say.

………

That evening, the torrential rain continued. Chrisis who has been busy for the entire day finally came back. There was noticeable exhaustion on his face and he appeared a little frail.

Cheng Zhi Chu had been living with Chrisis these days. Hearing the sounds of his return, he opened his eyes in confusion and helped Chrisis change out of his drenched clothes. Halfway through, he found himself being hugged tightly by the other party.

Chrisis’s body was drenched with cold rain. It was so cold, Cheng Zhi Chu shivered and sobered up. A little overwhelmed, he asked: “What’s wrong?”

“…….I have a very bad feeling.”

The young man holding him remained silent for a long time. He then slowly spoke up: “Despite all the things my father and I do, despite our efforts to protect Emerald City and our efforts to help the refugees……..”

His voice got quieter and quieter: “But the more I do, the more powerless I feel. Something terrible must be awaiting us. At that time, maybe this entire continent will be annihilated…….”

Cheng Zhi Chu couldn’t say anything after hearing those words. He hugged Chrisis back and his heart sank.

He knew that Chrisis’s premonition would come true and he was afraid that it would happen very soon.

But for him, he would only have the chance to go back if chaos ensues and time and space were to distort.

Chrisis was very tired. After a simple bath, he fell asleep. Cheng Zhi Chu laid next to him but he couldn’t fall asleep. He stared silently at the ceiling. After a while, the system suddenly called out.

【I have detected time distortion. It’s nearby!]

What?

Cheng Zhi Chu immediately sat up. He pried away the blanket and ran out. Only by getting in the range of the time distortion will the system be able to borrow its power to transfer him to a thousand years in the future.

The heavy rain still had not stopped in the late night but in order to be able to return Cheng Zhi Chu didn’t care much about it.

When he passed through the main gates of the mansion and he looked out at the storm outside, he remembered that he had not yet left the lord with the potions that he had promised. He had also left the magic robe behind in Chrisis’s bedroom.

Even if he knew that the potions wouldn’t provide much help, Cheng Zhi Chu quietly left a few bottles of it in the living room and included instructions to the lord advising him to pour it into the towns main water source.

He then went back to Chrisis’s bedroom and took the magic robe. Just when he was about to put it into the system’s backpack, the lights in the room suddenly lit up and he heard a cold voice behind him.

“Where are you going?”

Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised. He looked back and found himself met with Chrisis’s frosty expression. He looked at him expressionlessly but there was strong anger in his voice.

“You want to leave me, and don’t even plan on saying anything?”

“I…….”

Cheng Zhi Chu opened his mouth, but he couldn’t say that he just wanted to go to the bathroom because his clothes were already drenched by the rain. It was obvious that he had gone out and had only returned to get the magic robe.

“You want to escape? Is it because you couldn’t make the potion to treat the plague?”

The young man saw his flustered look and he said gently: “If this is the case, you don’t have to be afraid. It doesn’t matter if you can’t do it. With me here, no one will reprimand you.”

“……….”

Cheng Zhi Chu’s forehead sweated. He couldn’t explain himself. He could only activate a teleportation card and teleport a dozen metres away. Holding the magic robe, he ran off. He didn’t have the time to store it in his backpack.

But Chrisis had also learned magic. Seeing that he was still escaping, his eyes turned cold. He grabbed his wand and also teleported over. He chased after Cheng Zhi Chu while calling out to the guards to stop Cheng Zhi Chu.

Cheng Zhi Chu dodged here and there as he ran across the mansion. Following the systems instructions, he finally escaped out from the building and escaped into the dark rainstorm. As he looked for a way out, the rainstorm suddenly stopped and the sky cleared.

“Patter, patter…..”

Droplets of rain fell from Cheng Zhi Chu’s body. He stood in the courtyard in daze and didn’t understand why the rain suddenly stopped.

“Don’t let him escape!”

Chrisis chased after him with a look of anger. The guards surrounded Cheng Zhi Chu. He spoke with a frosty voice: “Don’t think about going anywhere. Just stay by my side.”
