Author: Cut the wallpaper with a knife

In the White Tower, their game of cards lasted for a while.

The tree man won the most, but to be honest, this is not a good thing. To be honest, it really is not. After all, you have to choose your opponent when playing cards. Playing with someone who can play will naturally be enjoyable for both parties, but if

I chose a less suitable opponent.

ha.

Just as the black cat head said before the game started, the cross-border mage named Shia's cards were quite bad. Later in the game, she even began to threaten the tree people. If she didn't lose a few games, she would

Burn his goods.

The tree man has nothing to do about this - it is just a businessman now, so it really has no way to resist these people who hold positions in the White Tower Council. To explain in simple words, it relies on them to survive.

"How come you win the most, Ka Valere?" Black Cathead asked.

The two of them are walking side by side at the moment, walking on an illusory road. It is obvious that this is no longer inside the White Tower. All roads in the White Tower Parliament are extensions of a towering tree. As for this road, say

To be honest, normal people would probably not want to walk on it.

The illusory light makes it look extremely unreliable, but unfortunately these lights are the only raw material that makes it up.

"Because I'm lucky, Cat." The tree man replied calmly. "But don't you really think about changing your name? You have let others call you cat for centuries, right?"

"I refuse to answer this question." Black Cat Head said.

Although they were walking together, this huge, upright and walking black cat was actually much taller than the tree man. It was at least four meters tall, and after its furry face was enlarged to this extent,

It doesn't look very cute anymore, but it has a terrible sense of déjà vu.

"If you answer, I will give you back a card I won from you."

As the tree man spoke, he slowly took out a card with a black back from the pocket of his robe. On the front of it showing a black cat head, there was a plate armor priest with a resolute face waving in his hand.

The bolas try to fight back the darkness.

The pupils of the black cat's head became sharp in an instant, and even his voice changed and became shrill: "Crazy Priest Maleston——! You actually used him to seduce me!"

"I prefer to call him Hero Maleston. To be honest, he single-handedly spent three hundred and twenty years in that hell plane, killing all the demons that threatened their world. Why would anyone call him that?

For the crazy priest?”

"But the reason why he is famous is because he killed everyone in his world after returning to his hometown." Black Cathead spread his hands. "You can't deny that he is crazy just because of his heroic actions.

this matter."

"He is crazy, isn't it because of your manipulation?"

The tree man took the card back angrily. It is worth mentioning that although he was very fast, he was very gentle when he took the card back.

"No, no, I didn't manipulate him to make him go crazy." The black cat head quickly denied it, as if it was afraid of being scapegoated, but what it said next made it even more clear that Shuren's words were correct.

"I just told him that his wife was forced to remarry to make a living, his daughter got sick and died, and after he practiced his faith and decided to crusade against the devil, his hometown was also destroyed ten years later due to the lack of priests to protect him.

The demons extinguished their light, and everyone died, no one was spared. He went crazy because of the cruel reality, and it was not my fault."

"But this cruel reality was weaved by you for him." The tree man shook his head. "It's better not to mention this, cat. I don't want to spend decades arguing with you about why most of us

I like toying with other people’s fate.”

"Don't you like it?"

"I used to like it," the tree man said. "As for now, I prefer to give them the power to let them understand the true meaning of life through a transaction. Of course, as for those real customers, I am still an ordinary businessman.

.”

"Say what you will, Ca Valere."

The cat shook his head and walked in front of the tree man. This illusory road seemed to have no end, just an infinite extension. They had been walking for a long time, but they still had not seen the end. However, becoming a cross-border mage

One thing is great.

You have plenty of time.

After fifteen years of walking, they finally started talking to each other again. This time, it was the black cat who spoke first. Cats can't stand being lonely, even cats of this size.

"Ca Valere."

"Um?"

"The Lake Fairy won't drive us out, will she?"

The tree man frowned in confusion: "Why do you think so? Although Ms. Seyani's whereabouts are unpredictable, she is already considered to be the one with the best temper among the powerful people in the multiverse. We will follow her

How could she directly drive us away when we went to visit her? What's more, we also have valid reasons."

The black cathead said nothing, but the tree man walking behind it clearly saw the hair on the back of this guy's head standing up.

The tree man's face suddenly darkened.

"Cat!" it growled angrily. "Did you do something again?!"

"Not long ago, I entered a world sworn to protect by Ms. Sejani. I had some fun there, and then she kicked me out. She said she would not kill me for the sake of the White Tower, but let me

Be careful yourself. If she sees me again, she will peel off my skin."

The black cat head's honest words made the tree man even more angry. For a moment, it even started to tremble with its fingers: "How could you be so stupid?!"

"I can't help it." The cat stopped and turned his head, his face full of innocence, even his pupils turned into circles. "That world is really interesting, what can I do?"

"There are so many worlds in the endless sea of ​​stars, but you want to choose one protected by the fairy in the lake?"

"Wouldn't it be more interesting this way?"

The tree man raised his head in despair: "I really want to kick you down."

"Then you kick it." Black Cathead spread his hands. "I will come back anyway."

Looking at its appearance, the tree man once again confirmed one thing. No matter that world, no matter what kind of cat it is - they don't care what other people think!

Cats are all a bunch of bastards! The tree man growled darkly in his heart.

"I feel like you are scolding me." The black cat head said quietly, but it did not dwell on this matter for too long. It quickly put forward a new suggestion. However, in the eyes of the tree man, this suggestion

It sounds like only an idiot could say it.

"Let's solve serious problems. For example, should we continue this trip? We can just snap our fingers back to the White Tower now, but it will take another thirty years to visit her."

"If she tells us to get out when we get there, then aren't we wasting our time? Why don't we change two people to handle this matter, Ca Valere."

"What kind of idiot are you, cat?"

"Why do you curse?"

"You are not a human!" The tree man cursed in a rare voice. "You stupid idiot cat!"

The black cat head sighed.

"Alright alright."

It shook its head helplessly, showing a helpless look, as if the tree man was the one who made the mistake, and it was extremely righteous.

"Whatever you say, alas. But we'd better solve the problem first before we argue. This matter is related to whether we can completely destroy the eternal paradise in one breath, Ca Valere, so you'd better think quickly

Come up with a solution."

Me, let me think about it?

The tree man looked at it in astonishment, and for a moment he forgot how he should react. Its eyes were so unbelievable that the face made of tree bark became vivid.

"How about you say something, Ca Valere?"

".I don't know what to say." The tree man said. "I feel that I made a mistake by knowing you. I even feel that I shouldn't step into this muddy water."

"Don't you have a good relationship with that Sejani? Couldn't you persuade her to tolerate me for a little while after we meet?"

"Who told you that I have a good relationship with her? I got her token through trading! And, you actually expect me to convince a lake fairy? Don't you know how stubborn they are?"

"What should we do?"

The black cat tilted its head innocently. The calmness and politeness it showed in the white tower were completely gone. The tail on the back of its robe was even sweeping around.

"What should I do? You go back now and I will do this alone." The tree man said gloomily. "This is my way."

The black cathead shrugged: "Okay, that's what you said. I wish you good luck."

After saying this, it happily disappeared with its tail raised.

The tree man stood there, and it took him a long time to realize that this damn cat probably didn't want to come with him to meet the Lake Fairy from the beginning. If the administrator hadn't spoken, he would have done it as soon as the meeting ended.

slip.

That is to say

The tree man thought gloomily, I might have been deceived by a cat.

——

Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. Deep in the dense forest, a lady was enjoying herself in the spring water. Her wet long hair was draped over her shoulders. There was a woven basket on the bank. From time to time, she would reach out and take out a strawberry to eat. She looked very happy.

It's leisurely.

However, in the next second, a portal emerged from the sky interrupting her rest time.

A tree man poked its head out from above. After seeing clearly the situation below, it jumped out of the portal without hesitation and landed on the ground.

Seyani's expression quickly turned impatient.

"What happened to you cross-border mages? Didn't you see that I was resting?" She turned her back to the tree man and said in a rather impatient tone. "And you, Ka Valere, this is not your first time.

Once he came to disturb me while I was resting."

"Dear Ms. Seyani, I didn't expect you to take so many breaks. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

"Are you suggesting I'm lazy?"

"That was never intended, ma'am."

Seyani snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. The tree man hurriedly said the words. It had not suppressed its sarcastic nature just now, so it offended her. Now, it was afraid that it would be half a second too late.

Thrown out by this one.

"Madam, I am here for your favored one, and I am not just showing my courtesy to you."

"No, you are not."

The fairy in the lake stood up, and even though her back was turned, her perfect curves were still on full display. The tree man didn't even look at it. It looked at the sky the moment Sejani was about to stand up.

As soon as the light flashed, the white dress appeared. The fairy in the lake rolled up her hair and shook her fingers lazily, and a chair emerged from the hot spring.

She stepped on the water, walked over, and sat down slowly. While combing her hair, she continued to talk. The water vapor slowly left her hair with her movements.

"You only came to me because of the profit. Tell me, what did that naive mage do? I remember you reported last time that he saved a precarious human empire?"

"Ah, yes, ma'am. As for this time, he's a god."

Seyani raised her eyebrows slowly.

"What did you say?" the Lake Fairy asked slowly. "I remember that I once said, let you look at him a little."

Although the tone was soft, the tree man could hear the obvious threat in it. It immediately raised its hands, replicating a French military salute in a world that didn't even know its name.

"I swear to you that I have tried my best to keep an eye on him out of his sight!" the tree man said very quickly. "But it is obvious that your favored one has his own wishes!"

"Who are you fooling here?" Seyani sneered.

"You told me that a cross-border mage with a bottom line would take the initiative to ascend to the gods? Don't be kidding, Ka Valere, I didn't treat you as an idiot, and you'd better not treat me as an idiot. Otherwise, I will dismantle you now

I’ll take this body of yours, and then take out the soul inside and take it apart to view the memories.”

When the tree man heard this, he could only cry secretly in his heart. It had been dismantled twelve incarnations in order to get on the line with the fairy in the lake, and the losses were extremely heavy.

You must know that each of these incarnations has the strength to protect itself in the endless sea of ​​stars. If it had not established a good relationship with the fairy in the lake, which would be of great help to its future career as a businessman, it would never be possible for it to pay like this.

of cost.

However, if this one is also demolished

I haven't recouped the cost yet! The tree man thought in despair.

"Okay, okay, I apologize, madam! I apologize. I neglected to pay attention to him because I made a deal with a group of eternal dragons. My negligence caused this to happen! But, if it weren't for the group of eternal heavens,

Birdman came to the door, he didn't have to become a god!"

Seyani sighed. Just when the tree man closed his eyes, thinking that his incarnation was about to be broken into pieces, the fairy in the lake apologized.

"Sorry." she said.

"ah?"

"I'm not talking to you," the Lake Fairy said calmly. "I should have warned him in advance, and I shouldn't have asked you to pay attention to him for me. Who can tie up a completely free person?"

"As for the eternal heaven you mentioned"

The fairy in the lake laughed slowly: "Well done, Ka Valere, how about you finish this thing right away? Tell me, where are they now?"

"Preparing to attack the world protected by your favored ones."

The tree man was obviously overjoyed by her reaction, but he still had to suppress his emotions. Its bark face began to twitch, but its tone still managed to remain calm.

"anything else?"

"They refuse to repent!" The tree man hurriedly revealed everything. "I have advised them many times not to make trouble, but they just don't listen!"

"I'm afraid you want to eat both sides but they see through it, Ca Valere, you smart guy. To be honest, you have indulged in playing a stupid businessman for too long. Although you act very conscientiously, but

I think—well, forget it."

Seyani sighed again: "Anyway, your White Tower mage has this kind of virtue, everyone has it. So, Ka Valere, what are the White Tower Council going to do? Don't tell me, you are going to watch it happen.

Watch your reserve administrator die like this."

"Of course not. In that world, there is an immortal with cross-border potential. Your favored one will obviously not ignore this matter, so as long as we wait until he ignites his own cross-border fire, we

Then we can immediately intervene in this war in the name of protecting the new cross-border mages."

"So, what does this have to do with me? With Natalia Carol here, there's no way you can't win."

"That's what I say, madam, but who knows what Eternal Heaven will do? They are the craziest monsters in the entire endless sea of ​​stars."

"They are just the craziest ones." Sejani corrected. "In terms of strength, they are not even ranked. Let alone compare with you. If you had not remained neutral most of the time, they would not have dared to do so.

Take action."

"but."

Sejani narrowed his eyes: "When you came here, you sounded like you wanted me to help you, both inside and outside your words - that is to say, Eternal Heaven has found a helper at the same level as me?"

"Yes!"

The tree man nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. This matter was a bit difficult to talk about. Since Seyani could guess it by himself, it would be the best.

"who is it?"

"It's your old rival, Perpetua!" the tree man said indignantly, not wanting to show his loyalty too obviously. "This hateful old woman has angered all the humans in the endless star sea because of the failure of her own creation! She

It’s really hateful!”

"It turned out to be her. She really went back to life as she lived, and she actually got together with a group of parasites running around the world, ha."

Seyani smiled slightly: "Okay, I understand, you can go back, Ka Valere. Do you still have the token I gave you with you?"

"That's natural, ma'am!"

"Very good. Keep it and take good care of it. It will be of great use."

The tree man saluted, then immediately opened the portal and disappeared without even a trace of hesitation. Sejani stared at the place where it disappeared for a while, and after confirming that it was really gone, he shook it slightly.

He shook his head.

"This damn bastard," she cursed in a low voice without any image. "Even if he wanted to eat both sides, he actually wanted to get on the line with Perpetua. Fortunately, it failed. What do you think, death?"

The fairy in the lake turned her head, and a withered skeleton in a black robe slowly walked from the forest. She just walked and the thick fog dissipated. Despite this, the voice she used to respond was one that sounded quite peaceful.

female voice.

"After all, there are only a few existences at the multiverse level, and each one will be fawned over by countless people. You should be aware of this, Seyani."

The withered bones called death said quietly, standing in front of Seyani with folded hands, obviously just a skeleton, but he behaved very elegantly.

"And you, as the only remaining adult member of the Lake Fairy race, I think you should understand what we mean to most of the world and all living things."

"Of course I understand - there is no difference between us and the laws of nature. Just emotional fluctuations can cause some worlds to be destroyed, so I have gradually faded out of those civilized and developed worlds. As for you, you have successfully escaped from the original world.

But Perpetua is obviously different from what we thought."

"Her thoughts are not important," Death said. "Her purpose is important. She will not join forces with a group of parasites for no reason. Although she hates human beings and feels that they are failed creations, she will never hate them so much.

Eternal Heaven joins forces.”

"What else could it be for?"

Seyani frowned in disgust: "It's just for him. This lunatic who wants to destroy his own world has completely lost the ability to create and only wants to take away those free creatures. What's more, she was once killed by his own hands.

She has disobeyed her. Of course she wants to get her face back."

Death smiled lowly.

"It's really courageous to seize fate by the throat. Well, Seyani, although I was just invited by you to come here to have fun, but since you want to help my envoy, then I should also contribute a share.

force."

"Your messenger?"

Dry Bones took off her hood, and her face responded in an instant. She smiled slightly, and her eyes under her long black hair were calm and deep: "Didn't I say that?"

The expression of the fairy in the lake suddenly became dangerous: "You'd better not fight with me. You should know that our population is withering now, and how much help a cross-border mage like him with a bottom line can bring to us."

"Don't worry, Seyani. You want your tribesmen lost around the world to be found and revived, and you want the fairy in the lake to once again bring blessings and protection to the human world in the endless sea of ​​stars. I understand all of this."

"Furthermore, I actually don't want to force him to sow death in the world for me. That is not my path."

She smiled and said: "Sooner or later, death will come to everyone. I treat them all equally, so I don't force it."

"You better be."

"Of course I do. So, when can this war really begin?"

Death's smile became more peaceful: "It is the duty of the God of Death to harvest souls."

I have no motivation to write, I owe 1.8k, I will pay it back tomorrow.

The plot begins.
