"You're here in such a hurry, is there something urgent?" Tang Bai quickly turned his head and returned his attention to the potion potion being brewed, and continued in a relaxed and gentle tone.

"Someone has discovered the hunter's traces." Kress strolled forward, stood beside Tang Bai, and reported seriously: "The latest news."

"That's good." Tang Bai nodded casually.

"Teacher, do you think you care about this news at all?" Cleese took a peek at Tang Bai's face, pouted slightly, and said with some frustration. With these actions, she looked like a child who hadn't grown up yet.

A young child who has done something ordered by an elder wants to be praised and rewarded by that elder, but is treated coldly by that elder.

Although Cleese can no longer be considered an underage girl, she still couldn't help but show this childish behavior of begging for candy in front of Tang Bai.

"Cles, you have to understand that people's needs are always changing with their psychology and environment." Tang Bai heard a bit of dissatisfaction in Claire's tone and was distracted while busy.

He glanced at her and explained.

"That means that the hunter and the previous plan are somewhat irrelevant to the current teacher?" Cress's eyes widened for a moment.

"No, it's not irrelevant. If the plan can proceed smoothly, it can be the icing on the cake." Tang Bai shook his head and continued: "After all, what I have paid for this before will finally be reaped this time."

"I thought it would be good news. I even specially appointed people to confirm it." There was still a bit of depression in Cleese's words.

"This has nothing to do with you." Tang Bai noticed something strange and glanced at Kress, who was suddenly depressed, and gently comforted her. Of course, if this sentence can be regarded as comfort.

As the only disciple he had cared for and nurtured in this world since childhood, Tang Bai knew her nature very well. He knew that it wouldn't take long, given her character, that this depression and unhappiness would soon disappear.

"Why did the teacher come back this time and no longer pay so much attention to the original plan?" Cleese blinked her eyes, gently placed her palms on the table, raised her delicate chin, and looked at Tang who was close at hand.

white.

"If I have to say one reason, it's that the needs are different." Tang Bai was talking to Cress, but his efforts were not laggy or messy at all. He didn't even think about Cress' questions.

Then he answered.

Claire didn't interrupt when Tang Bai was talking. Just like Tang Bai understood her temperament and habits, Claire was also very aware of some of Tang Bai's habits. Especially when explaining certain issues, this kind of

Familiarity made it even more profound. She knew that Tang Bai would definitely give her a relatively detailed and easy-to-understand answer later. Just like he had done to her thousands of times when he was a professor.

"Just like people. The needs of childhood, the needs of youth, and the needs of adulthood and adulthood are completely different under the influence of thinking and psychological maturity, as well as the environment. Infancy longs for a toy.

But in adolescence, you may long to pursue something new and special, and as you become an adult, the things you pursue will gradually become realistic.”

Sure enough, after Tang Bai paused for a moment, he spoke again: "Of course, this metaphor may not be accurate. Another version is that when you are poor, a little bit of money is very precious to you. You need to

Spend it carefully and plan carefully. But when you are rich, the importance of the little money that once required you to plan carefully will be greatly reduced, or even almost nonexistent. If it is less, it will have no impact on you, if it is too much, it is just the icing on the cake."

"Perhaps when the plan was first formulated, I really needed its success. But after so much time has passed, its importance to me is no longer as important as it was at the beginning." Tang Bai finally said with finality.

"That plan?" Cleese suddenly became a little hesitant when she heard this. It has indeed been a long time since the set time of that plan. She was a little unclear whether she should continue to invest in this moment with the dawn of hope.

Manpower and resources go in.

"As usual." Tang Bai threw in the last potion ingredient at the right time, and at the same time he did not forget to reply simply and neatly.

"Yes." Cleese nodded, and then as if she thought of some question that was difficult to ask, she hesitated for a while, and finally opened her mouth and asked Tang Bai tentatively in a low voice: "With the teacher's current strength, is it possible to explain it?

Don’t you want to use the magic that’s covered on that island?”

"I'm not a god yet, of course there are things I can't do." Tang Bai said calmly.

"But the teacher's magical attainments should be more powerful than that of Keziah, right?" Cress, who is Tang Bai's only disciple, said somewhat unwillingly.

"It depends on which aspect the comparison is. At least in terms of curses, seals and other spells, Keziah's attainments are at least higher than mine. But if it's a one-on-one battle, she doesn't have the skills to me.

Too threatening." Tang Bai shook his head and said calmly.

What he said is indeed true. No matter what, Tang Bai's focus is on the lethality and effectiveness of magic. Although he is also familiar with things like seals and curses, he is even better than some elite wizards.

Excellent and proficient, but compared with some wizards who are proficient in this kind of magic, Tang Bai immediately exposed his "half-baked" confidence.

In this world, Tang Bai still recognized Keziah's level of witchcraft. Even though it was inferior to the magic system in the Harry Potter world in terms of practicality and effectiveness, that was also the general environment. This world

The vast majority of wizards in the world are extremely weak in frontal combat.

To analyze it more profoundly, the direct confrontation of witchcraft and magic in this world is more like the application of mental ability. For example, when attacking a certain target, you need to concentrate, stare at your target, and then

Only in this way can magic be released relatively accurately and inflict damage to the opponent.

"What's more, no matter what I do, the world will also affect me." Tang Bai added helplessly.

"Is it what the teacher once told me about, the will of the world?" Cress asked thoughtfully.

"You can say that, but I prefer to regard it as a kind of operating mechanism of this world. It has no real thinking ability, and is an illusory power that can be felt by many witches. Those of you

Most people's strength comes from it." Tang Bai gently spit out the two last words: "Nature. The most peculiar existence in this world."

"I can feel that it doesn't like the teacher and us, but it doesn't really hurt us." This was the first time that Cleese discussed this issue with Tang Bai so seriously.

In terms of natural affinity and the ability to seize its power, when she was a minor, Cress was undoubtedly the most powerful and talented among Lilia and other wizards affiliated with Tang Bai. But after becoming an adult, with age,

It was growing, but Cleese could very sensitively sense that this power was declining in her body.

Although it does not affect her own strength, this kind of change will naturally attract the attention of every wizard. Especially when Lilith and a few other witches also have this situation, the reason is naturally even more important.

It's worth exploring.

"That's because you, like me, have violated the mechanism of its operation." Tang Bai glanced at Cress, who was nearly a hundred years old but still looked like a cleaning girl, and pointedly pointed out: "In the eyes of nature,

Everything is at the limit of its own existence. If it violates this limit, it violates the rules of balance that it itself abides by and operates."

"Vampires, and you who are supposed to be old but still maintain your youth and vitality, are all violators of this rule, and will attract natural disgust and abandonment. The longer you survive, the more this disgust and

The more you abandon, the stronger it becomes.”

"Are there going to be serious consequences?" Cleese's heart tightened slightly. Although her attainments and achievements in magic have long been different from what they were in the past, she has undoubtedly not yet truly come into contact with Tang Bai.

this level.

"This is why I only want to call it a mechanism for the operation of world rules, rather than the will and thinking of some kind of existence." Tang Bai said lightly: "The rules it operates and obeys limit this

All living things in the world also limit themselves and never know how to adapt, just like a rigid program."

"As long as you are alive and strong enough, it can't do anything to you. Have I ever told you about the doppelgänger?" Tang Bai glanced at Cress.

"Isn't Miss Catherine just a doppelganger?" Cress nodded and gave a living example.

"Yes, doppelgangers are also called cursed doppelgangers. Their prototypes are substitutes for the first two people in the world who broke the boundaries of death and disrupted the rules of the world." Tang

Bai took two steps back, waiting for the magic potion to be brewed successfully, and explained patiently.

"Silas and Amara, the original undead, are also the ancestors of all doppelgangers. Although the fate of these two people was quite tragic. For this world, existence is existence, and this cannot be erased naturally.

It can only use another way to maintain the balance of its own operation."

"Double body." Kress took over. She had heard Tang Bai vaguely mention something about it.

"Yes, natural selection created two people whose bodies, faces, blood, etc. are completely consistent with Silas and Amara except for their independent consciousness and thinking. They died and suffered in their stead," Tang Bai said.

, asked Cleese: "Do you know the history of Catherine?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
