What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

That dark city looks very hard. The little spider is probably as big as a small castle? The defensive magic is also very hard, but it's nothing to me!

Just need to calculate the function of the flow of magic power, and then..."

The next large section of content was the calculation process and rough papers of the previous generation of qualified people, and Connor skipped over it at a glance.

The general content is that the previous generation of qualified people used their own calculations to synchronize themselves with the defensive barrier, and then were regarded as a part of themselves by the barrier and squeezed in like a soap bubble.

“Look, the designer here is so pitiful, let me decorate it for him.

Well, this is more like it, sit still on the toilet. It would be great if there was a magic that could record, and ask anyone who comes - do you think I am a human or a god? Hehe, the emperor is asking for a title~ If there really is a big golden guy, he will probably think I am a psychic, right? Oh, Fusheng Qingbao Tianzun~"

call--

Connor felt that it would be a bit unworthy of the title if the previous generation of qualified people did not have a bird head.

If there was any involvement from the previous generation of qualified people, then the posture of the skeleton would make sense. Connor ignored the previous generation's bad taste, rubbed his eyes and continued to look down.

"May 10th. I've had enough rest and it's time to summarize."

Is it coming? Is it coming!

Connor got serious, and the previous generation of qualified people began to sum up their experience!

“The so-called memory world is not exactly the same as what I know, and it is mostly influenced by my memory.

Since the goddess has such means and abilities, why doesn't she fight the demon king herself, but recruit me from another world?"

Connor had some guesses about this part, because when the goddess gave him the main task, it seemed that she had encountered some trouble.

According to this previous generation of qualified people who took the path of magician, the one who received him or her was still the goddess herself. But in Connor's case, it had become the divine intelligent prism made by the goddess.

And whether it is "urgent, urgent, urgent" or Prism's certain degree of acquiescence in his breaking of the rules, it can prove the goddess's anxious attitude.

"On May 14th, I feel I am well prepared and will go back again."

"On May 15th, I'm back again."

"May 20th. I lay flat in the Spider for a few days and drew all the random things I had in mind. Oh, I don't know if these things can defeat the devil. I really want to go back... and lie down for a few more days..."

"June 1st, I can't go on like this, keep brushing! And try to make something. I have to keep my dignity even if I'm always defeated, okay?"

Haha, it turns out that it wasn't the chief designer's crazy idea, but the crazy idea of the previous generation of qualified people. Connor unfolded the blueprint, and the Yamato and Gundam in it became more pleasing to the eye.

Especially the design of Ultraman.

I just don't know if it's useful.

"I went back once more, and still failed. This time I became stronger, and I observed more. The Demon King has a very strong magic immunity... or magic elimination? Mysterious elimination? It doesn't seem like a normal characteristic that develops in a world with magic at all."

This record does not have a date, and it seems that the previous qualified person was also confused when he wrote it.

"Not sure, let's go back and take another look..."

"It's not that I didn't gain anything this time. I found out that I'm not the first qualified person. There may be one more person before me, or even more..."

"I understand! I understand why the Demon King would point out a unique magic that has been eliminated in a world full of magic!"

"In short, I've gone too far down the path of magic and there's no turning back. So -

I need more magic power. If I can't win, it's definitely not a magic power issue. As long as I have enough magic power and increase the level, there is nothing I can't solve.

Fear of lack of magic power, isn't it wonderful?"

The record stopped here. No matter how Connor used the golden apple to find the angle to look through the pages of the diary, he did not find any new content.

If you put away the golden apple and compare it with the original, you will find that there are no garbled codes that make people annoyed and want to skip them quickly.

But... why is that? I hate people who only say half of what they want to say!

Putting down the notebook, Connor quietly lay back on the bed in the hotel, sorting out the information he had obtained from the records of the previous generation of qualified people.

First of all, there are previous generations of qualified people, and according to previous generations of qualified people, there are more than one. This can also be compared with the voice when the prism first established a connection with me.

Secondly, the main quest of the goddess is very difficult, and the accumulated level of his three worlds is far from enough. The great magician of the previous generation of qualified people should have been very strong, as can be seen from killing through the Demon King's Castle, deconstructing the defensive barrier, and escaping from the Demon King of the main world many times.

Finally, there are differences in the main quests issued by the goddess. The previous generation of qualified people had to defeat the Demon King, while I have to defeat the Emperor. However, both goals have a common factor, that is, the main world is in danger of destruction.

Because of the limited information I have received, I cannot draw specific conclusions on those complex issues for the time being.

Connor, who is not good at decryption, has a guess in his mind, but he has to put it aside for now.

That was not something he should be thinking about right now. Connor smoothed the bird's nest on his head and began to study his second most concerned issue.

"Prism, the passive evolution of the Golden Apple...what's going on?"

[Forerunner Apple of Eden] evolved passively in the previous battle, and for the first time showed its thirst for energy.

As a very useful piece of equipment, Connor felt that he did not know the equipment well enough.

The Coronal Ore that can drive the huge mobile fortress Destroyer only raised the temperature of the golden apple a little. What about that hunger and activity?

Prism: [Forerunner Apple of Eden] has the ability to evolve, and each evolution consumes 1 point of magic power of the qualified person. It is an ability from [Haunted].

Connor touched his chin. The explanation of Prism seemed reasonable. The material of [Haunted by Evil Spirits] was a dragon that could continuously evolve and adapt to the environment.

Even though it has been killed, its muscles are still alive and can continue to evolve under pressure. After Tatsumi puts on [Devil Haunting], he can even move during Esdeath's time stop, which is a very powerful ability in the late stage.

But this explanation did not satisfy Connor.

[Evil Ghost Haunted] He only touched it a few times from beginning to end, and was not as familiar with the two imperial tools he mastered, nor did he get the material body. The super dangerous blood and material he submitted were mutants researched by alchemists.

Based on the information about the imperial weapon, [Golden Apple] should focus more on what it has mastered. The two effects of [Evil Ghost Haunting] are really too abrupt.

And as a divine intelligence, it can’t just explain why, right?

You say evolution, but what has evolved?

Prism: "The effects of various abilities are enhanced. You can increase the activation level by consuming high-level magic sources, and enhance or create new abilities."

"Prism."

After Prism answered several questions in a row, Connor did not give Prism time and quickly asked -

"Prism, how is your goddess now?"

116. We need a thief

The next morning, Connor opened the locked door with dark circles under his eyes.

The goddess's situation was just as he expected, perhaps it had already reached a very bad state. The reason why he added a "maybe" was purely because even the prism, the divine intelligence made by the goddess herself, could not contact the goddess.

Even the few updates that popped up were done by Prism himself.

"If I want to know more, it's almost impossible to start from the Prism. I can only collect more information left by the previous generation of qualified people and those before that. I hope there is still some left..."

He called Youyou, who was planning to have breakfast together, and the two of them sat at the table next to the fireplace in the Adventurer's Guild, which was the warmest place in the entire hall.

Given the previous battle records, basically no adventurer had any objection to a superior profession [Great Magician] and a superior profession [Assassin].

The rare peaceful life had only lasted a few days. On this day, the two people who were playing chess together after dinner looked at the snowflakes that finally stopped outside the door and decided to go out to practice.

By the way, look for some possible "traces".

Whether it is related to the previous generation of qualified people or traces that can trigger the activity of the golden apple, they are all within Connor's search range.

The golden apple gave him a hint, but it was only a vague direction, and Connor had to find the specific clues himself.

After defeating the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, the temperature here dropped sharply and the plains outside have turned into a snowy field.

Many ordinary people and their families who had returned from the mountains had already started cleaning the snow in front of their doors.

I ordered a breakfast for myself and Youyou, which included flying cabbages, vegetable sticks that could hit people, as well as meat, eggs and milk. It was considered a formal dinner for the team in the city.

In cold weather, you don't need to go out to fight monsters. Having a fire to roast, hot meals and hot water is already very good condition.

"What a blessing!"

Youyou ate happily. Even though the two of them were about to go out of the city to complete a mission, they still had Axel's inn to return to.

Everything was thanks to the Destroyer's bounty. The adventurers who participated in the crusade against the Mobile Fortress Destroyer that day received a bounty no less than that of the Demon King's Army cadres. The actual total bounty was higher than that of the Demon King's Army cadres, but there were too many adventurers participating and a lot of the bonus was divided up.

However, adventurers who played important roles in the crusade, such as Connor and Youyou who infiltrated the Destroyer, the Dragon Knight who formed the second line of defense, Megumin and Wiz who cast explosion magic, and Kazuma and Aqua all received generous rewards.

Even Kazuma's team rarely goes on missions or comes to the Adventurer's Guild anymore.

This is how it should be.

Just as Connor and Youyou were about to go outside the city to complete [Mission: Defeat the One-Strike Bear that unexpectedly woke up from hibernation in the fields, 2 million Eris.] and do some personal things, although the forest was opened up by the Destroyer, there were still many valuable areas. The two saw Kazuma, Aqua and Megumin held in the mouths of toads on the plains outside the city.

"I understand the bear. The Destroyer destroyed a lot of the forest. He has to wake up if he doesn't have enough to eat."

"But why are there toads out in the winter? Aren't they supposed to hibernate?"

Even sleeping in a stable in winter would freeze your eyelashes, let alone sleeping in the wild? Weak monsters would almost all hibernate in winter, leaving only the powerful and dangerous ones.

Connor looked at Kazuma's team, whose style was completely different from that of normal adventurers. There was also an unfamiliar woman in winter uniform next to Kazuma. Why did they come out, and why did they get involved with so many toads?

With plenty of money to spare, Kazuma had no reason to risk the winter to hunt monsters, nor was there any mission more suitable for Kazuma's team's current level and situation.

Also, where was Darkness? Why was their team's vanguard gone? If they had a vanguard, they wouldn't have been beaten like Kazuma and Aqua had just traveled through time.

You know, Kazuma has mastered a lot of skills now, plus he has a good brain... there's no way he would go back to the old ways, right?

“Shall we go and rescue them? There are more and more toads…” Seeing three more toads crawling out of the pit, Youyou became a little worried even though she was still fighting with Huihui.

At the moment, Huihui was being swallowed by a toad. The reason why she was not completely eaten might be partly because Huihui's staff was stuck in the toad's throat.

At this time, the toad was blinking hard, trying to swallow Huihui with the power of its eyeballs.

“I was wondering why I heard an explosion this morning. It turns out they brought Megumin with them to cast explosion magic, and the temperature and sound of the explosion magic woke up more toads?”

Connor rubbed his temple and took off a hard bow from his back. The scabbard with a blade inserted in it was actively reshaped into a quiver by the [Golden Apple], with a few arrows inserted in it. He used it to complete the [Long-Range Kill] task.

Draw the bow and draw the arrow, and go like a shooting star.

"Sword of Light!"

A clear voice echoed across the snowy plain.

Compared to Connor who kept a low profile, Youyou seemed to want to show off in front of Huihui, or maybe it was the nature of the Crimson Demons, and he started with a higher-level magic.

Connor's arrow hit the toad that swallowed Aqua. The arrow pierced the toad's eye and penetrated into the nerve center.

Youyou's sword of light almost split the toad that swallowed Huihui in half. If Huihui had bulged a little more, Youyou would have performed weight loss surgery on her.

"Oh! It's you! Thank you so much!"

Kazuma saw the extra arrows and magic and immediately realized who the newcomer was. However, he didn't have time to thank them, as he dragged Aqua and Megumin, who were covered in slime, out before the toads could surround them.

Facing more toads, Connor pulled out five arrows from the quiver at once, consuming 1 point of magic power, and then [Scatter] flew out of his hand.

Skill [Scattering - Entry]: Shoots multiple scattered arrows at the same time, each of which can cause hunter damage.

This was a skill he had learned using prism points after obtaining the Corona Ore. It was very suitable for hunting and the like.

boom!

The power was in no way weaker than that of intermediate magic. When the opening screen arrow was shot, the toads were scattered on the ground as if they were pushed away by a huge force.

The toad's skin is very smooth and can be immune to many physical attacks, but in the face of skills with magical powers, it is ultimately just a novice-level monster.

The insides of the remaining three toads suddenly caught fire, and flames spewed out as if they were burning from within. Then their entire round bodies turned into blue-white fireballs, and the aroma of roasted toad meat spread in the air.

【Energy Ignition】!

Youyou retracted the staff and looked at the effect of her magic with satisfaction.

All the toads that had come out of hibernation had been defeated for the time being, and Kazuma had dragged Aqua and Megumin to a safe place, and was now walking towards them with the woman in the winter uniform.

"My two adventurers, I am the Kingdom Inspector Sena," the woman with long black hair said as she looked at Connor and Youyou. The strength they had just displayed forced her to be cautious.

The first impression she gives is that she is like the boss's secretary, a very serious and smart woman.

Senna was looking at Connor, and Connor was also looking at Senna.

"Inspector, what are you doing?" Connor asked. What was an inspector doing outside the city in the middle of winter? Inspecting monsters?

Is it realistic that a beautiful inspector conducts an in-depth investigation into wild monsters and ends up getting fucked?

“It’s a toad,” Sena said, remembering what she was here for, and pointed at Kazuma’s nose. “In recent days, someone has been releasing explosion magic not far from the town, causing panic among the residents. Even the toads have fled to the ground out of fear!”

“I’ve already told you that the toads have nothing to do with us!” Kazuma refused to admit that it was Megumin’s explosion magic that woke up the toads, “It must be because of the Destroyer!”

Sena did not comment. She had just watched the battle between Kazuma's team and felt that awakening toads to attack humans was not something that Kazuma could do at his level. However, due to her previous conclusion, she could only make do with it until there was key evidence to overturn her conclusion.

“By the way, Miss Great Magician, thank you for your help just now.” Sena looked at the miserable state of Aqua and Huihui with lingering fear. If Connor and Youyou hadn’t come, she would probably have been dragged into this by Kazuma.
