Serious People, Who is Learning Magic at Marvel?

that night.

"That's how it is."

Kronos briefly recounted what he had discovered during the day, while he was sitting with Swain having dinner in an unadorned dining room.

The overhead chandelier is neither flashy nor anything special. It was just an iron swarthy lamp, and the surrounding walls were bare, without any oil paintings hanging. There is nothing in this restaurant except tables, chairs and benches.

After Swain took power, the first thing he did was to put an end to extravagance and luxury. If possible, he even wanted to sell those precious antiques and oil paintings for money in exchange for military expenses.

In front of Kronos, as usual, two more cows were placed in front of him, and this time he deliberately greeted them in advance. The chefs finally did not add spices and complicated cooking techniques to him. He was methodically breaking down the muscle tissue and bones of the cow with a knife in his hand that was more like a dagger than a table knife, so skilled that he was almost like a butcher.

Swain eats more simple, a little chickpeas, half a glass of water. He doesn't eat much every day, according to himself, eating too much will affect the speed of the brain's thinking. And he hated it so much.

"With all due respect, Instructor Kronos. This kind of thing sounds like a fantasy." Swain frowned, trying to keep his words less offensive.

Kronos understood his confusion, even in the empire—his empire, there were very few people who were lucky enough to survive the plague of Nurgle, and this part of the people who survived, Usually all executed. God knows if a new plague variant has taken root in these survivors?

To be on the safe side, it's better to kill them all. It's cruel to say, but there is no way out. In order not to let more people die, they had to sacrifice that few people.

Nurgle Plague usually affects an entire planet, but its effects vary. The plague that originated from the evil god himself sometimes even had no elements of disease at all, and it was more appropriate to call it a curse. Within the Empire, there is only one safest and most popular solution to the already large-scale Nurgle Plague.

Apply for an extermination order. Destroy an entire planet. And, even then, those hellish plagues sometimes inexplicably appear on neighboring planets.

But what if it happened here? There is no extermination order here for him...

Kronos expressionlessly ripped off a whole piece of beef with his metal-like teeth and threw it into his esophagus, before speaking after a while: "Trust me, I hope this is just my false alarm more than you do. one."

Swain picked up the plate,

After eating the few chickpeas left on it, I took another sip of water. He leaned back in his chair, looking slightly relaxed. This can also be regarded as a relaxing moment in his day that is rarely seen in addition to sleep.

He said: "General Shane has completed the goal of this expedition, and Demacia has now been officially incorporated into the territory of Noxus. I have to say that his efficiency is really amazing."

"No, that's too slow."

Surprisingly, the words that came out of Kronos' mouth were not compliments. On the contrary, he shook his head dissatisfiedly: "He obviously didn't take this matter seriously. It's just a kingdom, and something that could be solved in half a day actually dragged on for a week."

...... That's Demacia, do you think this is Chinese cabbage from where? It is too exaggerated to solve it in half a day. Swain slandered to himself, but didn't say anything. After drinking the water in the cup little by little, he stood up.

"Then please take it easy."

After saying that, he left. Leaving Astarte alone in the empty dining room, the sound of his chewing bones and muscles seemed so monotonous.

-------------------------------------

"The timing of your return is just right."

Gwendelyn was sitting with He Shenyan on the long steps below her residence, watching the moon. She didn't wear the cumbersome golden crown, and was smiling faintly at He Shenyan at this moment. As for Ashes, he has hurriedly returned to the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Field, saying that he would discuss with the fire-proof girl, and then come over to answer the mage.

He understood his reaction, He Shenyan knew very well how shocking what he just said was.

The master spread his hands: "No, in fact, I left a mark on that sapling. As long as it touches the moonlight here, it will automatically notify me."

"So, Qing deliberately didn't come back for so long?" Gwendelyn asked suddenly.

"Uh..." He Shenyan choked for a while. "Not all, I've dealt with a few things. You know, if I want to transfer all of your people out, I have to communicate with a lot of local people."

Gwendelyn listened to him quietly, she tilted her head, obviously looking noble and elegant, but her posture made her look a little cute.

Looking at her appearance, the mage suddenly laughed.

So, Gwendelyn's cheeks bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye: "What are you laughing at?"

"I think happy things."

"What's the matter?" Gwendelyn asked inexplicably.

He Shenyan just smiled faintly, looked at her, and said nothing. After a while, Gwendelyn turned her head away, but what she didn't know was that from He Shenyan's point of view, she could just see her red ears.

After laughing for a while, He Shenyan decided not to tease her anymore. He had to talk about business. He cleared his throat and asked, "So, what do you think of the plan I proposed?"

Gwendelyn turned her head back again, she raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, and said softly: "If Ruoqing can do it, of course it would be the best. But now, I am afraid that no one in Rhodeland can pay for this. Kindness."

"Let's not talk about the so-called kindness..." He Shenyan said slowly, deliberately not looking at her expression. "Let's talk about how many sane people are left. It is not a small project to transfer the residents of a world, even if there are not many people left."

Gwendelin thought for a moment: "The breath of the king hunter, if I feel it right, should come from the giant king in the capital of sin. He lost his mind because he lost his subjects. He died in the ashes. In the hands, it can be considered to be dead..."

"There are not many people left now, ah, the twin princes of Lothric, the Flan Undead Squad, a group of people from the Fire Sacrifice Hall, etc. There are also me and my sister, a few silver knights......" She paused for a moment, and suddenly smiled sadly: "Of course, there is also the forbidden world in the painting."

"The world in the painting?"

"It's a picture scroll, a forbidden picture scroll." Gwendelyn said softly, she raised her head, stared at the bright moonlight in the sky that seemed to exist forever, and slowly shook her head. "It's a sad but helpless story."

"I didn't expect that even though you don't go out, you seem to know everything that happens in this world." He Shenyan said jokingly.

Gwendelyn snorted softly: "I am the shadowy sun, and I really look down on people."

"Yeah, Shadow Sun Gwendelyn, your name is known to everyone from the Fire Sacrifice Field to Illusher."

Following the mage's words, her cheeks bulged again. This goddess is unbelievably naive at times, she said with some resentment: "Qing is really good at tricking people..."

The mage raised his face and said solemnly: "You think me too badly, I just praised you."

"What's the point of boasting..."

Their chat continued for a while, and it didn't take long before that Ashes appeared under the stairs with a woman in an elegant black robe, not a fire-proof girl, who else could it be?

It's just that she didn't wear the silver headband that covered her eyes, but she still closed her eyes tightly, holding hands with Ashes and walking down the stairs.

Gwendelyn hurriedly stood up and put on the golden hooded helmet again, her back was straight, and her tail was standing up behind her. He Shenyan didn't pay much attention to it. He sat on the steps carelessly and asked with a smile, "Have you thought about it?"

Ashes and the fire girl came to him, and the two first bowed to Gwendlin who was standing beside him, and then began to talk with He Shenyan.

The fire-proof girl's voice was very ethereal, and she said, "It seems that the decision to believe in you was correct."

You were so wary of me back then...

"I have discussed with Lord Rudas and the mother-in-law of the sacrificial ground." The fire-proof girl's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable power. The hand she held with Ashes was shaking slightly: "We believe in you."

"Anyway, there's no other way but to trust me, right?"

The mage raised his head, looked at the bright moonlight, and said slowly: "Passing fire is just a slow death, I believe you all know this. Especially this ash...... He may be the most aware of what the fire is. One of the why."

Gwendelyn interjected, "Why did you say that?"

He Shenyan smiled: "Let him speak for himself."

Ash was silent for a while, then took off his helmet. That ordinary face made Gwendelyn exclaim, "Ah, it's you!"

After a while, she came back to her senses and said with emotion, "I can't believe that the undead hero back then turned into ashes."

"Long time no see, Lord Gwendrin," Ashes said. "But please don't call me a hero, I'm not a hero, just a container."

Gwendelyn frowned, and although no one could see it because of the golden crown, the displeasure in her tone was genuine.

"You are a true undead hero! The first undead to spread fire, your story has already been passed down the world. If you are not even a hero, who else is?"

Ash still shook his head stubbornly, and his expression became a little strange, as if he was nostalgic for the past: "No... It's not my will to spread the fire."

As he spoke, he actually laughed: "It's just that when I was imprisoned in the Northern Undead Asylum, I was asked by a knight named Oscar to ask for his last wish. That's why I set out on the journey all the way, and it was just a mistake to spread the fire. Mistakes. As for now.... just because there is nothing to do when you wake up."

"When people see me, they will tacitly assume that I will hunt the king and continue the flame.... No one has ever asked me about my own wishes. At least this time, I want to do things by my own ideas."

He didn't seem to be used to talking so much in one breath. After speaking, he put on the helmet again, and the voice from below became dull: "The so-called ashes, although the undead are burned and left behind. The dregs of a man, and his thirst for fire is hopeless, but the will of man is still somewhat capable of defying instinct, isn't it?"

Gwendelyn remained silent, not saying a word. For her, the continuation of the flame is almost the same as the mission itself, as important as maintaining the majesty of the Gwen family. Now let her immediately accept that the flame is about to die, even if she is mentally prepared, it is still a little difficult.

But she didn't object, and that was enough.

He Shenyan stood up and placed the cane that Gwendelin had given him on the ground, and the light blue brilliance instantly spread to the entire Irusil. He said, "So, it's decided like this? Very good, just ask you to contact those who are willing to leave, and come here to find me when things are done."

After speaking, he took Gwendelyn's hand and disappeared in a burst of blue light. Only the cane was still standing in the distance.

The fire girl stood there and didn't move. After a long time, she asked, "Lord Ash... There are some things I haven't said."

The knight turned his head slightly, as if listening to her words.

"I... actually saw the world after the flames were extinguished in the eyes you brought me." The fireproof woman spoke in a dazed tone that was blasphemous in the eyes of others. Fire-resistant women absolutely cannot have eyes, only in this way will they not become thirsty because they stare at the flames for too long.

"In that world, what is UU reading www.uukanshu.com like?"

Ash asked, and then he felt the fire girl holding his hand stronger.

"I saw a huge golden tree that covered the sky... People's lives seem to be better than the times we live in."

"That's enough." Ash nodded. "The existence of the flame has turned into a curse. Since the world has become better after the flame is extinguished, that's enough."

The fire-proof girl suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils were blue, very beautiful. She just stared at Ashes in a daze, her tone almost dreaming: "But, isn't it an escape for us to leave like this?"

Ash didn't speak, he hugged her very softly and whispered: "Don't be afraid.... I will be by your side. Since it is certain that a new era will come, then, do you want to come back and see later? ?"

"is it okay?"

"That mage is a good person, if he is serious about asking him, he should agree." Ash smiled, feeling the weight of the fire-proof girl, she didn't want to speak for a while.
