Serious person, who is learning magic in Marvel?

That night.

"That's just the way it is."

Kronos briefly told what he had discovered during the day. He was sitting with Swain in a restaurant with little decoration, eating dinner.

The chandelier above the head is neither gorgeous nor has any special design. It is just a dark iron lamp. The surrounding walls are bare and there is no oil painting hanging. There is nothing else in this restaurant except tables, chairs and benches.

After Swain gained power, the first thing he did was to put an end to all extravagance and luxury goods. If possible, he even wanted to sell those valuable antiques and oil paintings to exchange for military expenses.

As usual, two more cows were placed in front of Cronus. This time he specially greeted him in advance. The chefs finally stopped adding spices and complicated cooking techniques to him. He was methodically using his hands to

The knife, which is more like a dagger than a table knife, decomposes the muscle tissue and bones of the cow, as expertly as a butcher.

Swain eats much more simply, a little chickpeas and half a cup of water. He doesn’t eat much every day. According to him, eating too much will affect the speed of the brain’s thinking. And he hates this very much.

a feeling.

"With all due respect, Instructor Kronos, this kind of thing sounds like a fantasy." Swain frowned and tried to make his words not so offensive.

Kronos understood his confusion. Even in the empire, his empire, there were very few people who were lucky enough to survive after seeing the Nurgle plague, and these people who survived,

Usually they will all be executed. God knows if there are new plague variants taking root in these survivors?

To be on the safe side, it was better to kill them all. It sounds cruel, but there was no other way. In order to prevent more people from dying, they had to sacrifice a small number of people.

The Nurgle plague usually has an effect range of an entire planet, with varying effects. The plague that comes from the evil god himself sometimes even has no disease elements at all, so it is more appropriate to call it a curse. In 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 so, those damn plagues sometimes appear inexplicably on neighboring planets.

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

Kronos expressionlessly tore off a whole piece of beef with his alloy-like teeth and threw it into his esophagus. After a while, he said: "Believe me, I hope this is just a false alarm on my part more than you do."

One game.”

Swain picked up the plate and ate all the few chickpeas left on it. Then he picked up the water and took a sip. He leaned back on the chair and seemed a little relaxed. This can be regarded as

Apart from sleeping, he had few relaxing moments throughout the day.

He said: "General Thane has accomplished the goal of this expedition, and Demacia has now been officially included in the territory of Noxus. I have to say, his efficiency is really amazing."

"No, this is too slow."

Surprisingly, the words coming out of Kronos' mouth were not praise. On the contrary, he shook his head dissatisfied: "He obviously didn't take this matter seriously. It's just a kingdom. It can be solved in half a day.

It took a week."

......That's Demacia, do you think this is a cabbage that came out of nowhere? It would be too exaggerated to solve it in half a day. Swain secretly cursed, but did not say it out loud.

After drinking the water in the cup, he stood up.

"Then, please use it slowly."

After saying that, he left. Astartes was left sitting alone in the empty restaurant, his sound of chewing bones and muscles seemed so monotonous.

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

"The timing of your return is just perfect."

Gwendelin was sitting with He Shenyan on the long steps below her residence, looking at the moon. She did not wear the bulky golden crown, and was smiling faintly at He Shenyan. As for the ashes, he

He had already hurriedly returned to the Fire Sacrifice, saying that he would discuss it with the fire-prevention woman, and then come back and give the mage an answer.

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

The mage spread his hands: "No, actually, I left a mark on that sapling. As long as it comes into contact with your moonlight, it will automatically notify me."

"So, you deliberately didn't come back for such a long time?" Gwendelin suddenly asked.

"Uh..." He Shenyan choked up in a rare moment. "Not entirely, I have dealt with some things. You know, if you want to transfer all the people here, I have to

Communicate well with many local people.”

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

Seeing her like this, the mage suddenly laughed.

As a result, Gwendelin's cheeks bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Why are you smiling?"

"I think of happy things."

"What's the matter?" Gwendelin asked without knowing why.

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

ear.

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

Gwendelin turned her head back again, she raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, and said softly: "If you can do it, of course it would be the best. But I am afraid no one in Rodlan can afford to repay this.

A kindness."

"Let's not talk about the so-called kindness for now..." He Shenyan said slowly, deliberately not looking at her expression. "Why don't we talk about how many sane people are left and how many people need to be transferred?"

Inhabiting a world is no small project, even if there are not many people left."

Gwendelin thought for a moment: "The aura of the king hunter, if I feel it right, should come from the giant king in the capital of crime. Because he lost his subjects, he also lost his mind. He died in ashes

In my hands, it’s a worthy death..."

"There are not many people left now, ah, the two princes of Lothric, the Farlan Undead Team, a group of people from the Fire Sacrifice, etc. There are also my sister and I, a few Silver Knights..."

She paused and suddenly laughed sadly: "Of course, there is also the taboo world in the painting."

"The world in the painting?"

"That's a picture, a taboo picture." Gwendelin said softly. She raised her head, stared at the bright moonlight on the horizon that seemed to exist forever, and slowly shook her head. "It's a sad but yet beautiful person.

A story that makes people feel helpless.”

"I didn't expect that even though you don't leave home, you seem to know everything about what's going on in the world." He Shenyan said jokingly.

Gwendelin snorted softly: "I am the Shadow Sun, you really look down on me."

"Yes, Shadow Sun Gwendolen, your name is known to everyone from the Fire Sacrifice to Irushil."

Following the mage's words, her cheeks bulged again. This goddess was so naive at certain times that it was unbelievable. She said with some resentment: "You are really good at teasing people...

.”

The mage put on a serious face and said, "You think too badly of me. I was just praising you."

"There's no point in boasting..."

Their chat continued for a while, and not long after, the ashes appeared at the bottom of the stairs with a woman wearing an elegant black robe. If she wasn't a fire prevention woman, who else could she be?

However, she no longer wore the silver headband that covered her eyes, but she still closed her eyes tightly and was walking hand in hand with Ashes from the bottom of the stairs.

Gwendelin quickly stood up and put on the golden helmet again. Her back was straight and the snake's tail stood up behind her. He Shenyan was not so particular. He sat on the steps and smiled.

Then asked: "Have you considered it?"

Ashes and Fireproof Girl came to him. They first bowed to Gwendelin who was standing beside him, and then started talking to He Shenyan.

The fire prevention woman's voice was very ethereal. She said: "It seems that I chose to believe that your decision was correct."

You were extremely wary of me back then...

"I have discussed this with Mr. Ludos and the mother-in-law at the sacrificial site." The fire prevention woman's voice was soft, but it carried an unquestionable power. Her hand holding the ashes was trembling slightly: "We

Trust you."

"Anyway, there's no other way besides trusting me, right?"

The mage raised his head, looked at the bright moonlight, and said slowly: "Passing Fire is nothing but slow death. I believe you all know this. Especially this Ashes... He may be the one who knows best what Chuanhuo is.

One of the people why.”

Gwendelin interjected: "Why did you say this?"

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

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

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

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

Gwendelin frowned. Although no one could see it due to the golden crown covering her face, the displeasure in her tone was genuine.

"You are a true immortal hero! The first immortal to spread fire, your story has been spread all over the world. If you are not a hero, who else can be?"

Hui Jin still stubbornly shook his head, his expression became a little strange, as if he was remembering the past: "No...it is not my wish to spread the fire."

As he spoke, he actually laughed: "It's just that when I was imprisoned in the Northern Immortal Yard, a knight named Oscar entrusted me with my last wish. That's why I embarked on the journey and spread the fire. It was just a mistake.

It was an accident. As for now...it's just because there is nothing to do after waking up."

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

He didn't seem to be used to saying so many words at once. After he finished speaking, he put on the helmet again, and the voice coming from below became dull: "The so-called ashes are just the remains of the undead after being burned.

The remains of his body, and his desire for fire is hopeless, but the human will can still defy instinct to some extent, right?"

Gwendelin remained silent and did not say a word. For her, continuing the flame is almost equal to the mission itself, and is equally important as maintaining the majesty of the Gwen family. Now let her immediately accept that the flame is about to die, even if

Even though I was mentally prepared, it was still a bit difficult.

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

He Shenyan stood up and placed the cane given to him by Gwendelin on the ground. The light blue light spread to the entire Irushil in an instant. He said: "Then, is it decided? Very good, I invite you.

Go contact those who are willing to leave, and when things are done, come find me here."

After saying that, he took Gwendelin's hand and disappeared in a burst of blue light. Only the cane still stood in the distance.

The fireproof girl stood there without moving. For a long time, she asked: "Lord Ashes...there are some words that I have never said."

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

"I...actually saw the world after the flames were extinguished through the eyes you brought to me." The fire-proof girl said in a trance tone words that others may consider blasphemous. Fire-proof girls must not be possessed.

Only in this way will they not become thirsty by looking at the flames for too long.

"What is that world like?"

Ashes asked, and then he felt the fireproof woman's hold on his hand become stronger.

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

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

The fireproof girl suddenly opened her eyes. Her pupils were blue and very beautiful. She just stared at the ashes blankly, and her tone was almost dreamy: "But if we leave like this, isn't it a kind of escape?"

Hui Jin didn't speak. He hugged her very gently and whispered: "Don't be afraid... I will be by your side. Since it is certain that a new era will come, do you want to come back to see me in the future?"

?”

"May I?"

"That mage is a good man. If you ask him seriously, he will probably agree." Ashes smiled, feeling the weight of the fire-proof girl, and for a moment he didn't want to speak.
