Teacher Vivienne?

This title made Mu You realize that the two of them seemed to be more than just colleagues from the Mystic Arts Association.

Looking at the way the old man kept dripping tears, he seemed to be a little girl who had been alone for too long and suddenly saw her parents.

Mu You silently exited the room and closed the door.

No matter what their relationship is, when two old friends meet, they must have a lot of personal things to say, and if they stay by themselves, it may make it difficult for them to speak.

"Muyou, where's grandma?"

At the door, a circle of people were still waiting outside the house. When they saw him, they immediately surrounded him. Lin Xue asked hurriedly.

"Still inside."

Mu You shook his head at her, then looked at the others: "Don't go in, let the old man rest for a while."

The others didn't have any objection to this. They also vaguely heard the weeping sound coming from the house just now. It is obviously inappropriate to go in now. Besides, if something really happened, the alarm in the house would go off.

"Little brother, what kind of medicine did you use just now?" The middle-aged man who spoke before leaned over and asked in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, needles could be heard everywhere, and everyone was waiting for Mu You's answer.

"follow me!"

Lin Xue suddenly pulled Mu You's sleeve, and led him downstairs quickly and out of the villa.

Mu You found that Lin Xue's position in this family was relatively detached, and none of the elders of the Lin family made a sound to stop them at this time, and could only watch them leave the villa.

Lin Xue pulled Mu You to the garden next to the villa, and found an open shade under a tree, before she had time to ask him: "Can you really save my grandma?"

In this regard, Mu You just sighed and shook his head.

He really wanted to tell Lin Xue that she could be saved, but in fact, he couldn't.

Mu You originally thought that Pisces would be a powerful magician, and the reason why he was seriously ill and dying was only because of some curse or other influences.

It wasn't until he saw the old man that he realized that this was just an ordinary old man with no magic fluctuations all over his body, and there was no hint about the astral world in the crystal of omniscience. And what she is suffering now is not an ordinary disease, but the exhaustion of Yangshou.

As a person from the star spirit world, Pisces cannot access the game of fools, and cannot gain life through the game. Once the life is exhausted, it is really gone.

As for the potion just now, it only temporarily relieved the old man's pain, allowing her to relax for a while, but it did not have the effect of prolonging life.

Besides, if it's just a matter of lifespan, it's okay. Muyou has a life-extending fetish like a unicorn and a potion master like Vivienne by his side. It's actually not difficult to make some life-extending medicines.

However, Vivienne didn't mention this matter at all just now, which made Mu You realize that the problem of the elderly may not be as simple as longevity.

Thinking of this, Mu You looked at Lin Xue: "Your grandma, did you give you anything recently?"

Lin Xue was taken aback when she heard the words, nodded, and took out a ring from her body: "This is what grandma gave me when I became a player last week..."

Mu You took a look, the ring was exactly the same style as the Aries ring, the only difference was that the carvings on the top had become two swimming fishes.

As expected, the old man passed the Pisces ring to Lin Xue...

"You haven't activated it?" Mu You asked.

Lin Xue shook her head, looked at the ring in her hand, and sighed: "Grandma asked me to put it on as soon as possible, but I always feel that when I put it on, it is when grandma leaves me..."

Of course, Mu You knew that her feeling was right. The complete inheritance of the crystallization of the secret technique could only be formally entrusted to the next successor after the death of the previous secret technique master.

And since her grandma handed over the ring to Lin Xue, it meant that she was already ready to face death.

"In fact, sometimes, death is not a painful thing for some people. Living is what allows them to continue to suffer, and death is a relief." Mu You looked at Lin Xue and said seriously.

Mu You could tell that when the old man saw Vivienne just now, his eyes revealed not only the joy of reunion, but also a sense of relief. This is the same as when he first met Vivienne before. At that time, Vivienne also showed such a free and easy way of letting go of all burdens.

For people like them who have lived for too long, the only goal of living is to entrust inheritance. Once the goal is achieved, they can face death calmly at any time.

Lin Xue looked at Mu You carefully, and suddenly said: "Grandma once said that she has been waiting for someone to appear, and now it seems that the person she is waiting for is you."

"No, it's not me..."

Mu You laughed and shook his head: "The person your grandma is waiting for is Anthene Vivian."

"An... Seni?"

"Well, it's my master, and your grandma should be both a teacher and a friend."

"Can you tell me about this person?" Lin Xue asked after thinking about it.

"it is good."

Mu You didn't hide anything, and explained Vivienne, the Mystic Association, and the secrets of the twelve mystics to her in detail, and also briefly talked about the past few sessions of the Mystic Association.

Lin Xue is about to become Pisces' heir, and she has the right to know about these things.

"It turns out...it's like this..."

After Lin Xue finished listening, her eyes were a little red.

As smart as she is, after hearing these secrets, she naturally guessed the most likely outcome. Grandma's death seems to be an unchangeable fact.

Of course, she didn't express too much grief, because from Mu You's description, she already vaguely understood that this was a better choice for grandma.

At this moment, Lin Xue's cell phone rang.

She took it out and looked at it, then looked at Mu You: "Grandma told us to go back."

"it is good."

The two returned to the villa immediately, and under the gaze of others, they went straight into the ward on the second floor and closed the door.

On the hospital bed, Grandma Lin Xue's emotions had calmed down at this time, and her condition seemed to have improved a lot. She looked at the two people who entered the door with a kind smile.

Vivienne was still standing in front of the bedside table. Mu You noticed that the magic power in her body had been consumed. It seemed that she should have used some means to help the old man stabilize his condition.

When the two walked to the hospital bed, the old man looked at Mu You gently and said, "Son, if you have any questions you want to ask, just ask them, and I will try my best to answer them for you."

Mu You nodded. He did have a lot of questions that he had been wondering for a long time. At this time, he thought about it and said, "I want to know why the twelve mystics all have to find the Fool as their successor?"

This question actually includes an implicit question: Why did twelve of their powerful mystics end up dying in the end...

"Hehe, it's not difficult to understand. In fact, it's because of the curse of black magic." The old man smiled and said.

"curse?"

Mu You was a little confused when he heard this: "The curse of getting out of control, hasn't it been solved by inventing the crystallization of secret techniques?"

The curse of black magic specifically refers to 'out of control', after losing control, the caster will permanently become some kind of monster.

However, the existence of the secret art crystallization itself was born to avoid loss of control. It allows everyone to use black magic safely and stably without side effects. For a moment, Mu You didn't quite understand what the old man meant by the curse.

"Out of control is only a superficial curse, and using black magic, there is another deeper curse." Vivienne next to her said at this time.

"what?"

"human nature."

The old man sighed and said: "Black magic is a means of manipulating the mighty power of nature. Every time black magic is used, the caster will be eroded by the rules of nature, thus losing a part of 'humanity'. Although the amount lost each time is insignificant, but the use of Too much, when the lost humanity accumulates to a certain extent, people will undergo great changes in a short period of time, become cold-blooded, lose normal reason and emotion, and at the same time become extremely obsessed with killing and blood."

"And this change is irreversible, because in this situation, people will become more and more dependent on black magic, and the degree of loss of humanity will only continue to deepen, until the day when humanity is completely wiped out, they will become slaves to the laws of nature. The killing machine..."

"Is there such a thing?"

Mu You was startled when he heard that.

He suddenly remembered that when he killed that fat wizard at the beach, it was obviously his first time to kill, but he didn't have any psychological fluctuations, and his calmness made him feel abnormal.

Thinking about it now, at that time, could it be that he had also been affected by black magic and lost part of his humanity?

"Yes."

Vivienne continued: "At first, we didn't know that black magic had such a hidden influence, but when we found out that something was wrong, it was too late, and all twelve of us had already been affected by black magic. It has swallowed too much humanity subtly. Although we have consciously reduced the use of black magic since then, this has only delayed the speed of our death."

"Then we..."

Mu You looked at the two of them strangely. If black magic had the same effect on him and Lin Xue, Vivian would have no reason not to tell him, and Lin Xue's grandma was even more unlikely to harm her granddaughter, and even took the initiative to hand over the inheritance to she.

"Don't worry, the curse of black magic will not work on you."

Vivian shook her head and said: "In other words, the humanity lost by you fools can be quickly regained in daily life. This seems to be a special ability exclusive to your blood of fools. This is why we must find fools as heirs The reason is that black magic is truly harmless magic only for fools," Vivienne said.

"It turned out to be like this..."

Mu You finally figured out the biggest question.

The old man smiled wryly at this moment: "After discovering this curse, the twelve of us made an agreement. Before each of us loses the last of our humanity, we must pass on the inheritance to the next generation and then commit suicide."

"Mr. Vivienne and the other eleven mystics all left their inheritance in the astral world before they died. I was the only one who escaped to the forgotten land by chance. I forgot all the magic, sealed the secret art crystal, and abandoned I lost my former identity and worked hard to integrate into the life here, and after years of repeated adaptation, I finally stopped the loss of humanity."

"Later, I started a family here and wanted to pass on the inheritance to future generations, but when the children were born, I discovered that they still had half the protoss blood, and they would still be affected by the curse of black magic. There is no way, I can only continue to wait for the next generation to be born... Fortunately, among the children of the next generation, there is finally a Fool who meets the conditions of an heir."

"Is it... me?" Lin Xue was taken aback.
