The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

And then there's the senior student's "caring for chuunibyou" attitude...

This whole scene was witnessed by others.

For a moment, he felt that life was not worth living, especially now that the spell had already been activated...

I love you, Mom. Let's do a full-scale memory wipe.

When you are tired, destroy it quickly.

Chapter 148 Remembering the past and crying

"Feel the pain, understand the pain, accept the pain..."

"This world is an illusion."

"By your oath, let time flow backward by one day!"

"what!"

Looking at Xue's frantic state in the distance, Old Green sighed.

Previously, he was worried that the young mage would go astray. After killing someone, his values ​​changed, and he began to lose control of the demon in his heart.

Now it seems he was overthinking things. He's now preoccupied with how to turn back time by one day or erase a large number of memories.

However, old Green smiled with satisfaction. This was more like the behavior of an 18-year-old mage, rather than a tool who only had rational thinking to consider everything.

Anger, resentment, desire, embarrassment, and even madness – these are all part of human nature and emotions. Although most of these emotions are negative, it is precisely because of this that we are complex individuals.

However, now that strange ritual has been started, there is no way to stop it. He must find a way to either continue the ritual or undo it.

But seeing Xue Lude's mind now filled with nothing but wanting to reverse time, or starting to search on that panel for a technique that could erase memories without affecting people, he knew that this ritual was probably not going to stop.

Compared to the situation caused by this spell, drawing a complex magic circle in someone's literary society activity room with a brush dipped in cough syrup as a casting material, and being seen chanting the spell, is nothing.

"what!"

Seeing Xue's expression twisted like an abstract Picasso painting, giving the impression of someone flying into the sky to carry rice, Old Green quickly said.

"No, no, who hasn't done something stupid when they were young? When I was your age, I sculpted a naked elf out of clay, and just as I was about to bring it to life, the little girl next door pushed open the door and brought me dinner..." Old Green said, reminiscing about his glorious past.

Xue Dinglu was taken aback, his expression turning strange.

Suddenly, I felt like none of this mattered anymore. Old Green's situation was like being surrounded by relatives while wearing a cosplay outfit. Looking at his tearful expression as he reminisced about the past, Xue Law suddenly felt less embarrassed.

Xue's Law: "...And then what?"

“We’re married,” old Green said with a smile. “She said she could dress up as an elf, and she even said she could dress up as a dragon.”

Xue Law: “???”

Is this what I came here to hear?

"When she passed away, I had already built my own academy and was going to be the principal. I planted an elf tree at her place, hoping that she could become an elf in her next life, so that we could grow old together, instead of me being just a middle-aged man when she died."

"And later, when I grew old, that fairy tree had already stood tall and graceful." Old Green seemed to have wanted to enlighten Xue's Law, but as he spoke, he seemed to begin to sink into his past memories.

Perhaps that period only accounts for less than one-tenth of one's life, but it may be one of the few moments of reflection and memory in that world.

Seeing that the old man was no longer the flamboyant and frivolous figure from the fairy tale world, but instead smiled kindly like a gentle old man, Xue Luding comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Perhaps the next time you see her, she will be a young elf coming to find you."

In a fairy tale world, this kind of thing is quite normal; as long as there's a wish, even a dragon can turn into a dragon girl.

“But I’m old now.” The old man looked up at the sky. At that moment, Xue Luding finally saw nostalgia in the slightly cloudy eyes of this seemingly childlike old mage.

Wait a minute, wasn't I the one who was feeling emo just now? How come it's your turn to be emo now?

This sudden reversal of attitudes startled Xue Lude. Then he saw Old Green silently continue drawing his architectural plans, seemingly intending to build a magic academy in Xue Lude's consciousness space.

He then remembered this matter. After making some connections, he began ordering marble and rebar. He let the old man build the school if he wanted to. Perhaps building the school was, in itself, a way for him to remember the past.

While he was worried about the launch of that large-scale ceremony, he would have helped even strangers if he had the ability.

Although it was just a matter of recalling a soul, having experienced God's authority in the previous world, he also had a way to have that soul reincarnate as a human.

"You'd try to save someone you barely know?"

"Anyway, the spell has already been activated, and we're already here..." Xue Dinglu said. Although it was only a brief encounter, he would act as a ferryman, giving that soul a chance to experience life again.

Old Green seemed to have nothing more to say and continued drawing his blueprints.

……

The next two days passed in turmoil.

A person died at the school, and the incident even made the news. Although the murderer was found and confirmed, the murderer suffered an even more gruesome death than the victim, instantly becoming a topic of discussion among criminal investigation and paranormal enthusiasts online.

It may even become the prototype for supernatural and detective stories for a long time to come.

The entire school was thrown into turmoil by the incident. The most noticeable change was that every afternoon at 5 p.m., all the streetlights were kept on all night, and more security guards began patrolling the school in pairs.

Although this incident occurred off-campus, the school will at least significantly increase security in the area it can cover.

This incident didn't seem to have much of an impact on Xue's law. He attended classes normally the next day, constantly biting his pen while listening to the hypnotic eloquence of his political theory teacher.

Old Green received the first batch of marble and rebar. He actually started laying the foundation in his consciousness space, and then spent a lot of effort to insert the rebar into the ground of some unknown material in his consciousness space.

Inside the detention center, a school principal appears to be experiencing some kind of humiliation that is difficult to understand.

Everyone seemed to have a bright future.

On the internet, the new video was released in a way similar to a "special episode" because the latter half of his perspective was strangely divided into three parts, and if the latter half were removed, the first half would be incoherent.

Therefore, this was just released as a video similar to a "special episode" or "behind-the-scenes footage," which only showed a first-person perspective of a giant battle scene. Compared to the previous ones, this kind of behind-the-scenes footage naturally didn't have much popularity, but because it had a large following, it still managed to get a few million views.

……

Time passed slowly. When Xue Dinglu opened his eyes in the morning, he recalled the memories he had seen of Old Green the day before. Just as he had imagined, Old Green's life was very boring. He spent most of his time learning magic.

He had once been an apprentice of an ancient mage, then studied potions with a witch, and even communicated with a dragon about magic. Only then was he able to establish a mage academy in that world that taught everyone without discrimination, based on his own knowledge.

However, within the academy, his most proficient magic was... plant cultivation.

It wasn't the civil engineering magic he was talking about; the cultivation and development of plants was what this old professor was most skilled at. He had cultivated peas that could grow into treehouses and trees that could grow bread directly from them.

However, these plants take a long time to mature, so even if they spread, it's not harvest time yet.

Within the consciousness space, the old man had already fixed the entire framework of the rebar and was now beginning to drill holes in the marble and insert them into the rebar.

This was a way of building houses that he couldn't understand at all. It had the feel of assembling and piecing together Lego bricks, except that the piecing parts were all joined together by threaded steel.

"Can this even be strong?" Xue Daolu couldn't understand this way of building houses in another world and was greatly shocked.

"You don't understand, do you? This is called a metal-stone interlocking structure. I figured it out myself when I was young. You guys have simple and easy-to-use things like rebar here. Back in my hometown, I would just drill holes and pour metal in. Sometimes I could only use bamboo as the main structure." Old Green seemed very satisfied with his masterpiece.

"Like the library in my college, when we ran out of copper and iron, I started filling it with bamboo sections, and it still held up very well."

Xue Law: "..."

I hope there are no earthquakes in your world, otherwise the little magicians who go to the library will really thank you, the principal.

Old Green looked at the stone foundation, which was now as tall as a person, and was quite satisfied.

He had almost used up the first batch of marble. Next, he could only reinforce the existing building with rebar, and then use earth magic to hide all the rebar inside the stone. All that was left was to pile up wood, and he would be done.

Looking at the half-finished process, he proudly showed it off to Xue Dinglu.

The two now have a kind of "fellow Daoists" feeling towards each other. Xue Lude's strength lies mainly in the development and use of combat magic, while Old Green is not very good at combat spells, but his various strange spells really opened Xue Lude's eyes.

Just like this civil engineering technique, Xue Lude would never have thought of using magic in this kind of way in his entire life.

When Old Green has free time, he also studies Xue's Holy Light Magic. Xue's Law has recently been studying "Bread Magic," a magic that creates bread out of nothing.

In the past few days, Xue Dinglu used the "Bread Technique" while holding a cactus. The cactus in his hand began to twist and gradually turned into a round loaf of bread.

At that moment, Xue Dinglu's pupils contracted.

He succeeded, finally managing to use the fairytale magic, but his version of the magic was completely different from the original.

Old Green's bread-making magic allows him to conjure bread out of thin air; it can be said that as long as he has energy, bread can be produced endlessly.

But Xue's Law couldn't do that at all; he could only make bread when he had various plants in his hands.

Xue Lude picked up the cactus bread, took a bite, and immediately revealed a pained expression.

It tastes bitter, just like cactus. It's like tasting a hodgepodge of various Chinese herbs in one go, but after swallowing it, there's a refreshing aftertaste of dried grass.

Anyway, it's weird.

Chapter 149 An SOS from Space

Old Green has been playing with magic and creation, while Xue's Law has been eating all kinds of bread all this time.

From tree trunks to the aloe vera in his house, to the unknown plants in the green belt at the entrance of the village, to the foxtail grass on the grave mounds in the cemetery behind the village, and even the roses that someone gave him, he turned them all into bread and ate them. And you know what? Some of them, although they tasted very unique, were actually quite delicious.

He finally understood the effect of his special "bread-making technique".

It can turn any organic matter (preferably plant-based) into carbohydrate bread that retains some of the original ingredients' flavor, so don't expect to turn anything indescribable into bread.

The total energy of the bread and carbohydrates is slightly higher than that of the raw materials (due to the enhancement of magic), so overall, this may not be very useful in combat, but it can be surprisingly helpful in various environments.

He even said that meat can be turned into bread. He has tried it and found that one kilogram of meat can be turned into 0.9 kilograms of bread, and bread provides twice as many calories as the same weight of meat.

Magic, isn't it amazing!

Perhaps the great sage would like this technique. Xue Dinglu remembered that many of the places he wanted to help were so poor that all that was left were people.

If this technique existed, the old man could probably save even more people.

Perhaps he will be happy.

Today, Xue's Law research turned the bed board into bread and tasted a musty smell, but the Blood of the Curse did not detect any mold.

At the same time, he still held the emergency communication device of the interstellar squadron in his hand. This device, which was passed from the brave uncle to the sacred magic continent, and then for some unknown reason to the fairy tale world, finally ended up in Xue Luding's hands, was being used to sense the coordinates on it.

Strangely, the coordinates listed only relate to the "Saving Holy Sword," while no coordinates from either the Holy Magic Continent or the Fairy Tale World are recorded on it.

Based on the few instructions left by the brave uncle, he wanted to deconstruct the device.

Then, the device suddenly emitted a red light, seemingly conveying some kind of special message.

Xue Law: "..."

Could he have accidentally activated it? No way! This is something the hero would rather die than use; he shouldn't have accidentally triggered it.

Xue Luding hurriedly checked, but found nothing unusual. The communication transmitted from above did not travel very far before disappearing, and the "subspace portal" that the brave uncle had mentioned did not appear.

Seeing Xue Dalu struggling to do something, Old Green put down the marble in his hand and came over.

"What's wrong? This thing seems to be sending some kind of message?" He also noticed the information on the emergency communication device, but couldn't decipher it for the time being, so he could only watch Xue Dinglu frantically trying to figure it out.

"This thing is a communication device for what should be a very large organization in the universe. It's very valuable. It's an organization called the Starfleet, which is responsible for putting out fires everywhere, like a cosmic patrol." Xue Luding roughly told Old Green about what he knew about the Starfleet.

After all, his current understanding of this organization comes from the Great Sage and the Hero Uncle. The organization's structure is somewhat like that of a space police force, each responsible for its own area and helping to resolve various injustices.

Xue's Law couldn't imagine what kind of funding such a large organization could use to maintain its operation. Perhaps it was by signing contracts with the world consciousnesses that had solved the disasters, which was equivalent to receiving some bonuses and certificates after doing good deeds.

"And this device, it is said, once activated, will send coordinates across space to all members of the interstellar column, and countless people will rush over to help, so it is very precious," Xue Dinglu explained the origin of this device and the interstellar column.

"That's a lot like the Knights Hospitaller. They're also a group of people who will go to help wherever they know there's trouble. It's just a pity I couldn't find them later; it seems like something happened to them." Old Green also mentioned an organization in their world that also helps people in various places.

Xue Lude looked at Old Green in surprise. He thought that most humans in the fairy tale world were like that Silver Kingdom, with an arrogant and greedy attitude. He didn't expect to hear about a similar organization called "Hospital Knights" today.

“A group of young knights on a pilgrimage, who also helped people along the way, providing them with medical treatment and assistance, gradually became an organization,” Old Green told Xue. “But I haven’t heard from them since. Perhaps they disbanded, or perhaps they all died.”

The old man was deeply moved, as one familiar person or thing after another disappeared before his eyes, which was probably the greatest punishment for him.

“Right, the panel left by the old man should be decipherable.” Xue Dinglu instantly revealed an expression of “I have an idea” and placed the emergency communication device on the panel.

The next moment, the panel began to analyze the data, and then a series of intermittent messages were transmitted.

[Help, save me... I don't want to die...]

Save us...

【save……】

One piece of information after another appeared on the panel, and both Xue Law and Old Green were stunned for a moment.

Old Green dropped the bricks he was carrying, his face full of worry.

These messages kept being sent, and every sentence contained the word "help." Xue's Law probably knew that this was a kind of interstellar distress signal similar to "SOS."

"What's going on? Is it the people from that interstellar column you mentioned calling for help?" Old Green asked Xue, who was also frowning at the time.
