*********
5 minutes before the start of the Magic Network on August 9, 1666
Rennie, the capital of the United Provincial Republic
*********
With the help of a few magics that he didn't know yet, Nemen Solayton increased his horse's speed to an unprecedented level and headed straight towards the orphanage.
Naimen couldn¡¯t explain why he felt a little uneasy, but there was a feeling that made him feel that he had to abandon all distracting thoughts and rush here. It seemed to be an intuition modulated by ambition and uneasiness. He always had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Just like intuition on the battlefield, sometimes you just know to seize the reserve team, sometimes you just know to counterattack, and sometimes you just know to speed up to avoid the opponent's sure-kill magic. Without this intuition, no matter how powerful the magician is, he will die from a small stray bullet.
If you think about it carefully, Naimen feels that he should be able to clarify the context.
"What is the source of this emotion?"
The starting clue should be Marshal Fox¡¯s speech in the Union Parliament. It was indeed a very touching and passionate speech. If Neimen had not stayed in the staff department for these few months, he might not have been able to calm down and think about the true intention behind the speech, but directly cast his vote¡ª¡ª
¡°Speaking of which, it seems that I haven¡¯t obtained citizenship rights yet.¡±
Naimen laughed at himself. A major officer without citizenship is undoubtedly the first example in the history of the Free Army. The average person must be over 30 years old when he is promoted to major, and the military salary for the first half of this position can be donated as a citizenship.
Before becoming a citizen, he became a combat officer, which taught him a different perspective.
"Except for the words of praising freedom and looking forward to the future, the marshal actually only achieved one combat goal. That is really obvious."
Naimen flew past groups of Free Army soldiers patrolling the city.
Before Fox¡¯s speech, the old marshal had already passed the parliament and issued all orders to form the new Lenny Army. These detachments, which are less than a morning old, are searching for civilians, taking in broken troops and prisoners, and cleaning up the remaining imperialists who are still resisting Yes, this is Fox's purpose.
"He wants to keep the Free Army. He dissolved this parliament and established a military government. As long as he can keep the last seeds of the Free Army, he can do anything. If democracy becomes a stumbling block, he doesn't care to throw it away. After all, No army is democratic."
Naimen glanced at the hundreds of imperial prisoners on the side of the road, whizzing by in the numb eyes of these people. For the soldiers at the bottom, whether it is the Free Army, the Imperial Army or the Communist Army, it is just a symbol.
"But I think what Marshal Fox wants to tell me is not 'contradiction'. Originally, all politics are contradictory and dirty, and this should not be the emotion I feel. So, does the problem lie in the 'combat objective'? "
There must be some key point. Naimen looked at the three smoke pillars not far ahead and listened to the sporadic gunshots, and decided to take a risk and take a shortcut.
"If it is just to 'reorganize the Lenny Army' and 'prevent the emergence of a puppet government,' then Mr. Fox does not need to take the position of dictator. It is obviously a proposal that cannot be passed by normal methods. Our strategic situation does not If it's so bad, our army is certainly weak, but so is the enemy. Why on earth did he choose this target"
Just as he was thinking of this, Naimen caught a glimpse of a burned-out material warehouse out of the corner of his eye. He secretly cursed himself as an "idiot". This was really a mistake that a staff officer should not make.
"Of course it's military spending! To form a larger Free Army to take back Lenny, we need to supply supplies from two republics that were originally supplied by four republics, and now that we have lost all Lenny's warehouses! This is not It is absolutely impossible to destroy the current political structure! In the future, the Free Army can only rely on the two and a half republics for supplies. The purpose of dissolving the United Provincial Council is to delegate power to the two republics of Intre and Italy, America and Asia, in exchange for the promise of more future rights. The current support is a naked exchange of future interests. He got the bargaining chip from here, which can be cashed in in the future to become a resource for rebuilding the Free Army."
Naimen thought again of what the old marshal, no, the dictator said, "cut off the chains of the old republic." It was indeed true: rebuilding a Free Army was the greatest opportunity for young officers like him. Just like he would not have become a major officer without the previous civil war.
"But this can only explain half of the intuitive ambition, but it cannot solve the source of uneasiness So is it the 'means' that causes me uneasiness?"
Naimen jumped off his horse in front of the broken gate of the orphanage and took three steps.Take two steps to cross the ruins.
The light blue magic thread of the magic network can no longer be seen with the naked eye, but as long as you use the reading magic eye, you can see the connecting effect thread that has covered the sky and the sun. After the Magic Network is officially launched, they will disappear visually, but will bring new laws.
"The proposal for the Chapter of Excellence was really just a duke. Ultimately, all Lord Fox did was use it to create how should I say, 'inertia'? So that he could get MPs to accept a public vote that they would not otherwise accept , and can also use the outside military to put pressure on them. He also takes advantage of the ruling party's habit of pursuing pragmatism and the opposition party's habit of pursuing momentum."
Naimen kept thinking about everything in his mind and opened the door to his room.
He found that the entrance to the secret base had automatically closed, and since he left through the teleportation array last time, he didn't know how to open it from this side. He stamped his feet hard on the floor and could hear a hollow echo from below.
¡°Even the best politicians can¡¯t resist the force of inertia. Whether they are former generals or cunning professional politicians, they cannot raise their own objections in the face of convention. Therefore, the secret entrance switch here is probably"
Naimen frowned and began to search for the hidden activation magic circle in his room. It certainly wasn't hard to find, in fact it was carved nonchalantly under his bed like any lazy magician would choose. He stretched out his hand and output magic power to activate the magic circle, and the inscriptions on it began to glow.
But the secret entrance was not opened. Naimen frowned, identifying the magic circle that used some unknown technology.
"Relative coordinate confirmation, identity confirmation, special instruction rejectionis the input time after I leave?"
His eyes were fixed on the magic circle, and the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. Why did Anne enter a special command to prevent him from opening the entrance?
Why does he feel so uneasy when he sees these magic circles?
"Contradiction. Interest. Inertia. Contradiction. Interest. Inertia"
When these three words were put together, Naimen suddenly trembled. He finally understood the cause of his intuition.
"Isis that what happened?! She never said itYes, she never said it!"
He turned around suddenly and punched the floor.
¡°Earthspike!¡±
The stone entrance to the secret passage turned into a row of protruding spikes, pointing towards the roof - no, it even pierced the roof!
"I'm so stupid! How stupid! How could I not have discovered it! That inference is not reasonable at all!"
Naimen couldn't care less about being surprised at the unexpected effect of this magic. Cursing his own slowness, he kicked away the sharp spikes and jumped down from the hole created.
"Actually, we have our own anchor points in Intre and the New World." "New cities will appear in the next two hundred years." "Because my spare body can only be replaced in Intre. Of course, my spare body It cannot exist so close to the battlefield."
Contradictions, interests, conventions. The technique is exactly the same as that used by Dictator Fox, exactly the same. It's exactly the same thing, right down to the point where legitimate decision-making motivations produce uncomfortable results.
A shrill alarm sounded in my ears.
Naimen concentrated all his energy, prepared to deal with possible traps, and shouted the girl's name loudly.
"Annie! It's me, I'm back, don't activate the trap!"
It seemed that he had never shouted with such a loud voice in his life, and he never knew that his voice could be so hoarse. His throat was almost torn, and he used all his strength to produce high notes.
"This voiceNaimen? Why? Don't, don't come in! The magic network will be activated soon, it's very dangerous!"
The voice coming from the other side was filled with surprise and shock, and there seemed to be a hint of weakness.
Naimen did not stop at all, but ran faster.
His military boots hit the ground, causing dense echoes in the tunnel, like thousands of troops galloping past.
"Don't, don't run away! Magic Network Hey! Hey! Did you hear me?! I will put down the fire door, but don't say I didn't say it"
As Nai Men rushed towards the end of the passage, he saw the fire door made of fine gold slowly falling.
He waved his right hand and dropped the magic on the ground in front of him.
"Grease!"
Then he slid forward, leaned over and burrowed into the gap under the crack of the door that had not yet been closed. There was no hesitation in the entire action. The fire door fell behind him and hit him.On the surface, there was a heavy impact sound.
Naimen stood up, wiped the oil on his body, and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, I haven't received the school officer uniform yet."
"Are you crazy?" Anne's voice lost its previous calmness, and her hand was resting on the magic control table, "Do you know that door can smash you to death?"
"Yes, I'm crazy."
Naimen stepped away from the grease, crossed the magic circle and walked towards Annie who was operating the magic circle.
Annie stood up helplessly, raised her hand from the table, and paused the operation of the magic circle. Her left arm made of magic was wrapped with magic threads, and her right hand stopped weaving. Even from this distance, Naimen could see the panic and wavering in her eyes.
"You rushed back suddenly. Is there something urgent? The emperor is back again?"
"I'd rather I was crazy," Naimen repeated, walking down the hall, "Why not. I, the damn bastard, have found out the truth. That's enough, that's enough, Annie. There's no need to go on. ."
Anne put on her good smiling expression again and stuck out her tongue - but this was the most blunt thing Naimen had ever seen.
She forced a smile and said: "What's wrong? You said it as if you discovered something terrible"
"This base does not use teleporters. You never said or admitted it, right, Annie? You use Lenny's central teleporter for positioning."
Naimen took two steps forward, pressed his school official's five stars heavily on the table, and stared into Anne's eyes, as if he wanted to reflect every bit of her beauty in his mind.
"What are you talking about, SolaytonMajor?" Anne took a step back and smiled stiffly, "You have been promoted, sir."
"That's enough, Annie. Don't continue!" Naimen's heart became colder and colder. "I only have one question - 'Can you really use this teleportation array to reach Intra and replace your spare body in time?' "
Anne¡¯s hand shook, but she did not touch her epaulette.
The corners of her mouth twitched, trying to force out a smile, but it seemed to Naimen that it was just a forced smile.
"This is not the time to play this kind of gameSir, the magic network will be activated soon, I'm serious."
"I said that's enough, Anne. Don't force yourself." Naimen raised his head, "Your row of coordinates is almost the same as the coordinate value of the parliament building. Newer cities will indeed rise in the future, but the world The location of the teleportation point in Lenny, the second largest city, will definitely not change, right?"
Annie took another step back and hit the wall with her back.
"Your bronze medal is relative to the "Lenny Central Teleportation Point", right! This teleportation point will continue to be used, and no one will change this coordinate point! How can you use a location that has been destroyed? Arrive at Intre?"
Naimen grabbed his school official star, rushed up to grab her shoulders, and stared into her eyes.
The girl didn¡¯t struggle.
"Tell me, take the lie detector star and tell me 'you can', Annie!"
Naimen was almost yelling. He grabbed Annie's right hand and put his school officer lie detector star ring on her finger. He kept looking at her expectantly, unable to take his eyes away, his fingers kept shaking, and he couldn't get it in even after repeating it twice.
Anne Seifer looked away, stretched out the ring finger of her right hand, and put on the ring. Her fingers were also trembling constantly, without the stability and accuracy that any senior mage should have.
She thought again of what she had seen when she returned to Lenny last night. She recalled the despair and panic she felt at that time, the scene when she walked aimlessly towards the parliament building, and the certainty of death.
"Asshole. Why do you want to come back? Asshole. Now I just look like a fool and a funny character."
She also recalled the anxiety and uneasiness she felt when she deceived Solai, the statements that were true but pretended to be lies, and the designs that all pointed to misunderstandings.
Looking back now, she did indeed unconsciously leave clues that would allow him to see through the double trap
Anne was still smiling, but there was a tremor in her voice: "Why? This is my first time to do a double trap, and I thought I did a good job."
She looked like she was going to cry at any moment.
Naimen knew that his reasoning was correct this time, but he also wanted to cry.
But I heard it. I hear your inner voice. I know you left so many clues just for me to discover. Feel sorry, I found out too late.
He wanted to say this, but couldn't.
He has never hated the modern teleportation magic system as much as he does now.
None of the sub-teleport points know the absolute position of Lenny's teleport point. Because now Lenny's teleportation point has been destroyed, all relative protocol teleportation points based on this positioning point cannot be used.
The final insurance that Anne told him was long gone.
She can¡¯t go to Intre and get her backup body.
And she already knew it.
Since when did you know about it?
"You know that all Lenny's teleportation points have been destroyed, right? Did you know that from the time you returned to Lenny?"
"I know." Annie lowered her head and adjusted her mood, "I went there as soon as I came back."
Naimen felt that his mouth was full of bitterness. He asked again: "How much time do we have?"
"Ah, there are still four hours at most."
When Annie raised her head again, her expression of almost crying disappeared, only the corners of her eyes were still a little moist. She freed her right wrist from Naimen's palm, put it back to her waist, touched the crystal-like structure covering the wound and said: "After all, it's just a life-saving magic, and it can't last more than two seconds after its effect." Fourteen hours. Of course, it will definitely not survive the reconstruction required to establish the Magic Network."
Naimen immediately understood this sentence. But he still asked with hope: "Can I get a new set of substitute organs when the magic network is established?"
Anne shook her head and replied: "It's not necessary. This body can't sustain such a large-scale magic."
There is only one question left to ask Naimen thought.
There is always a question that is both obvious and difficult to answer.
She designed this double deception knowing the answer.
She defeated the main army of the empire on the premise of knowing the answer.
Knowing all this and her own destiny, she did so many, so many, so many things, and she kept laughing. Not only did she laugh, but she also changed everyone's laughter.
Knowing that answer, Anne Seifer returned to Lennie and entered her battle.
She always knew she only had the last twenty-four hours left. Turn into ashes.
She, a girl, fights against the fate of the entire world. Because she wants to change her destiny.
She was always smiling, not only smiling herself, but also trying to make everyone else smile.
Under the appearance of the natural and cute smile beautiful girl, it is the tough heart of a real top mage.
It wasn¡¯t even a forced smile; she really believed that she should live like this, bringing joy, laughter and hope to those around her.
Naimen couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if he was certain to die. He definitely couldn't hide this fact No, it was impossible no matter how he thought about it.
What kind of strong belief does it take to achieve this?
"Noshe didn't do it for them. She stayed in Lenny to fight because of me."
And in this case, she even deliberately conceived a double deception and tried every means to prevent him from knowing the truth. If he hadn't noticed the bronze medal, he wouldn't have known this fact until the end, and would have just thought that she went to Interre!
And why she doesn¡¯t want him to know The reason is obvious.
She knew from the beginning why Lenny's teleport point was destroyed and who destroyed it.
And she didn¡¯t want him to blame himself for it. Naimen could even guess that she would encounter an "accident" in the process of establishing the magic network, and "this accident" would lead to her death.
There is no responsibility on his part, not at all, and Anne will not leave any clues this time.
Naimen asked with the last glimmer of hope: "We should still be able to find a priest who can treat"
"It's impossible now." Anne shook her head, "Lenny doesn't have such a high-level priest. I already checked it when I established the magic network. Jena, Blenheim and Imeia do, but ¡¡±
She didn't finish her sentence. Now that Lenny's positioning point has been broken, it is impossible to reach anywhere in time at normal speed.
There is no room for escape. Naimen finally asked the question.
"Annie, is there any way? Will I definitely die?"
He felt a little hot in the corners of his eyes, and some water flowed down his cheeks. Probably a houseIt's raining, or some magic has gone out of control, he thought.
Anne stretched out her right hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Don't cry. There's no need. I won't die, I'm just losing a body"
This is a typical high-level mage's speech. Naimen really wants to believe this, but
He grabbed Anne's right wrist again: "That's enough, Anne. Look at the lie detector star, it's on."
Being suddenly grabbed by the wrist, the blonde girl struggled twice, but Naimen would never let go.
Anne could only sigh and explain: "This thing is sometimes too sensitive. Theoretically, I will indeed die. This body becomes cold, the soul leaves the body, etc., it will happen. This is death. definition."
She rolled her eyes, obviously looking at the lie detector star on her finger. But since the ring was not shining, Naimen did not want to reveal it and continued to listen to Anne's explanation.
"But I do have a body in Intre. It will instantly accommodate my superego, uniqueness, identification representation or soul, depending on which theory of spiritual structure you believe in. The only thing that needs to be transferred in person is It's just memory. And I have a super treasure that can store memories If you don't want to let go, just take out that necklace from my chest. You should have seen it many times."
Naimen subconsciously let go of his hand, looked into the deep groove between Anne's proud breasts, swallowed his saliva and said, "No way, I've never seen it before"
"You've obviously used it before." Annie said, reaching out and taking out the necklace from her cleavage. The huge sapphire pendant looked particularly familiar.
"Of course I haven't used it before!" Naimen suddenly felt something was wrong mid-sentence, "Ah, no, you mean the necklace."
Anne shook her right hand, wrapped the necklace around her wrist, and burst out laughing: "That's a good dirty joke, Chief Naimen. Anyway, when I end the magic, you can send the necklace to Interre." , reintegrate the memory into my other body, and all the problems will be solved. It¡¯s just a technical death, it¡¯s not even a soul stone.¡±
"If the problem is solved, there is no need for you to hide it from me." Naimen pointed out this point straight away, "Then what will happen to that body after you die? Wake up from a deep sleep? Then what happens if she has no memory? How is it?"
"Now that body is petrified and preserved in crystal Of course after receiving the soul, this body will wake up as me. You can think of it this way, I just close my eyes and fall asleep here, and wake up in another place and lose All the previous memories. Theoretically speaking, it¡¯s just amnesia, that¡¯s all. Then you bring my memory to me, the memory is restored, and the problem is solved. Congratulationsahem."
Perhaps because she spoke too hastily, Annie coughed a few times, and a trace of liquid mixed with red blood and blue fluorescent substitute blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth. She hurriedly wiped away the blood streaks with her hands, but everything still fell into Naimen's eyes.
"Time is indeed running out. I have been delayed for five minutes and cannot wait any longer. The magic network has been built to this extent, and I must complete my work. Can you give me a moment, Naimen?"
Anne's tone was undeniable. Naimen knew what she said was true, and he turned away silently.
The blond girl showed her habitual smile and nodded.
"Although my misleading was not successful, I don't want you to feel sadbut no matter what"
She suddenly stood up on her tiptoes, kissed him gently on the lips, and said in the smallest voice:
"I still thank you for coming back, Naimen."
Then, she quickly walked to the table and quickly weaved the magic flow on the magic web in the air.
The magic network that was once stagnant is now in operation again. There was no roaring noise, only calm flashes shining from time to time. Those threads use the simplest rules to create the greatest achievement in the history of magical science.
Naimen saw magic threads pouring out from the gap in Anne's left arm and constantly entering the huge magic network. He couldn't count how many threads stretched from here to the sky - perhaps the entire civilized world had been connected.
"Legend has it that the best magician in the world has a chance to leave a curse that can change the world when he is about to end. This is true. There are still many of these curses running now, such as in the East. In the great wasteland, the greatest curse so far is running. And what I want to leave behind is not a curse."
Anne Seifer calmed down, and her broken body stopped shaking. The legs made entirely of magic power were deeply rooted in the ground, motionless, slender and beautiful.
"I want to leave hope."
She said so.
"I, the most powerful magician in the world, Anne Seifer, will establish a magic network."
Anne¡¯s right hand was raised from the table and pointed to the sky.
At that moment, Naimen felt the wind blowing from her side.
"Because this magic has never been used before, it has no spells. Therefore, every word I say next will follow my will, my beliefs and my logic and become a part of this great magic. ."
Anne stopped coughing, she stopped bleeding, and the whole time seemed to stand still.
"The world is not fair. Some people have power and some do not. But the world is fair because belief and knowledge determine all people's power. There are many people who have contributed to the world but cannot get it. Due reward. Therefore, they hid the secrets of knowledge from each other, keeping them available only to themselves. The great men isolated the achievements of magical technology to suit their own will."
Naimen felt a sadness in his heart. The strongest magician must have the strongest beliefs, although she may not always talk about them.
"I will leave my hope to ordinary people like you, who have no bloodline, background, and humbleness, but never give up hope. I will leave opportunities for people to become great. This is the most important thing in the world. The powerful magician, Anne Seifer's wish."
She always deliberately avoided the words "dying" and "death".
"In the year 1834 of the standard calendar, the first artificial magic network connection experiment was completed in Delan. In 1874, a three-way handshake protocol was proposed in the New World, far away from the war, and the experiment was successful. In 1882, the first wireless magic network connection magic was completed. And became the first panoramic magic to be used after the war. In 1890, the International Magic Network Agreement was signed. In 1894, all experimental Magic Networks merged to become the International Magic Network. In 1896, the Magic Network crossed the Endless Ocean. In my time, as long as All areas outside the Great Wall have the same civilization, the same magic, and the same rules. This is the sum of all knowledge for thousands of years, and it is the belief that breaks all barriers."
But Naimen could still hear every word she said - no, those spells were recited specifically for him. Each mage has his own system of mantras, some are more general, while others are more casual. The magic used by Anne is obviously only controlled by her, and she can say whatever she wants.
"The Magic Network only fulfills one function: to connect all things with magic on a voluntary basis. It will integrate all the magic in the world. From now on, magic will cover the earth like an ocean, and knowledge will spread like islands. On it. All those who discover new science, knowledge and technology will expand this magic network and bring power to the magic network, and the magic network will also reward them. From the beginning, the magic network was not used to It supports magic; it is used to support fairness, justice and freedom."
The sapphire necklace in her hand lit up. Anne placed it in the center of the table and ran her fingers gently over its surface.
"I firmly believe that everyone should receive a reward commensurate with his efforts."
The blue light became brighter and brighter, shining through her military uniform and illuminating the entire room. Looking through the blue light, under the thin military uniform, the substitute organ made of crystal was completely transparent, and Naimen could see the source of the blue light through her body.
¡°I firmly believe that everyone¡¯s right to learn knowledge and use it is inviolable.¡±
She stated her wishes and the purpose of establishing the magic network word by word. All Anne Seifer's doubts have disappeared, and she firmly believes in her judgment.
¡°I firmly believe that this right is the basic guarantee for their survival, liberty and pursuit of happiness.¡±
This is the era she wants, and the past she wants; and she will create the hope she wants.
"No more impoverished scholars, no more hidden curses, no more lost theorem proofs, courage and intuition will trump experience and tact. This is my wish, a future that belongs to thinkers and scientists .A future with justice and justice. I don¡¯t know what the future will be like, but I believe it will be a future with infinite hope.¡±
Anne's eyes swept across the room. The blue wires in this room have all been connected and bundled. If Naimen asked, Anne would tell him that the shape formed by those magical threads was a "cluster rocket."
"Analyze static reality - the sum of all objective perceptions. Constitute dynamic reality - the sum of all subjective perceptions. Then, if our ideals and reality do not match, change reality. The gods created everything; we create It is the future. A future created by human reason and beyond destiny."
Arrival at Blu-rayAt the maximum moment, Anne slowly covered her right hand on the sapphire pendant.
"The proof of the soul - as the first root node - starts shaking hands!"
The establishment of the Magic Network is like a plague. Its algorithms are passed from one soul to the next, from one object to the next. Whether it is arcane magic or divine magic, whether it is Taoism or Yin and Yang, whether it is earth veins or Feng Shui, whether it is spiritual power or shamanism, all sources of magic and all theories will be woven into it.
¡°The first handshake. A request from subjective belief.¡±
It does not make right or wrong judgments, it just accepts all knowledge; when beliefs conflict with each other, it will patiently wait for the different beliefs to be reconciled. It contains everything that everyone can know. No matter who has the knowledge or who has the belief, it will be woven into this huge network.
"The second handshake. A response that represents static reality."
The blue light hit the "magic thread cluster bombs" densely scattered in the air, and then split into two streams: one stream continued forward, and the other stream turned into red light, returned to the original path, and hit the soul certificate in Annie's hand - now it is the third stream. on a node.
¡°The third handshake. The sharing of knowledge and the transfer of power.¡±
? Red light and blue light shine together, turning into purple light.
If you look carefully, you can see that the purple color is actually made up of red magic threads and blue magic threads that are spirally intertwined and entangled together. The blue light in Annie's hand went out, and it shot towards the node that was previously connected.
Anne¡¯s index finger and thumb made the shape of a pistol, and she made a false shot into the air.
"This is the magic network, the sum of all knowledge and beliefs, the gathering network of all magic power. As long as we shake hands three times, we can build a great cause that is superior to the gods."
Then she said,
"boom."
Then, the huge and complicated magic thread was ignited.
? Blue light, red light, purple light.
Then, the blue light becomes two beams, two beams become four beams, four beams become eight beams, eight beams become sixteen beams
Then, Naimen couldn¡¯t see clearly the gorgeous fireworks that dazzled him.
He only saw blue light radiating out one after another, and countless red lights responded to them, mixing into purple light, and then creating more blue light.
The blue light hit the walls of the hall, hit the ceiling, penetrated the bottom layer above, and shot out along the rock plate. When some blue light hits a place where there is no magic cluster, there is no red light reflection and it just disappears quietly.
More blue light shot out from the vents along the exploding magic group. They exploded in the air two, three or more times, passing the handshake infinitely until the end of the world.
He had seen a similar scene once before - during the Battle of Jena, he saw Metty Croseau creating a similar scene with a pipe organ.
But the nature of the two is completely different.
Metty¡¯s organ music magic is the pinnacle of human orchestration magic. The best talents and top magic tools come together to create a complex and beautiful storm with the largest audience.
The magic network created by Annie is exactly the opposite. It follows a very simple principle, it just "fires a magic ball that can expand the handshake to the responding handshake object."
But it is this extremely simple principle, through ingenious inspiration and design, that creates an effect that is even more beautiful and magnificent than the masterpieces handed down from generation to generation that Metty painstakingly played.
This is the moment when magic enters the modern era from modern times.
Before the birth of the modern magic network, magicians were trapped in the problem of "how to obtain knowledge."
From then on, magicians will be trapped by a new problem of "how to use knowledge."
Learning magic no longer mainly depends on your luck, your talent and your origin, but mainly on your understanding, your determination and the hard work you are willing to put in.
There is an entire world waiting for a new generation of magic users to build.
Several rays of blue light shot towards him.
Naimen saw that the two medals of excellence on his body reflected red light, his pistol reflected red light, and even his military uniform and the bottles of potion in his pocket also reflected red light. Their magic power is not as amazing as Anne's sapphire necklace, but it is enough to emit light that can be seen with the naked eye.
At this moment, he suddenly felt heavy.
No, maybe it shouldn¡¯t be said that the body is heavy, but that the feeling of weight that disappeared due to the acceleration magic has returned again. This feeling is not unfamiliar¡ªwhen Annie built a temporary magic network last night,?He experienced it once.
The magic group in the entire hall has exploded. All the blue, red and purple lines have disappeared from his sight. All the magic light sources around him have been extinguished. Only a few oil lamps that can illuminate without magic are still there. Burning strong.
Silence. Just like every time a magic network is established, after the rules are changed, all magic will be silenced.
"The moment the laws of magic change, all magic effects will disappear"
Naimen suddenly realized something.
He rushed madly in the direction of Annie, just in time to catch up with the moment when all the magic effects on her body disappeared.
She fell into his arms, almost weightless.
Anne¡¯s legs and left arm made of magic power disappeared, and the crystal substitute organ made of magic power also lost its luster.
Magical blood flowed out from her original wound, soaking into the bright red Intre Army uniform, dyeing the fabric with a dark red camouflage.
"My work is done. I can't be the center of the magic network like the temporary magic network before. The magic network covering the whole world needs its own agreement. I know someone who is more familiar with things like signing agreements or covenants with gods. " said the girl who had lost all her magic.
The surrounding lights were dim and dim, and Naimen couldn't see her expression clearly, but he knew she was still smiling.
Naimen carefully held her body, his hands were shaking, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Annie, stop talking, we can find a treatment."
"You don't have to worry. Even if the magic network agreement has not yet taken effect, the magic that I use to maintain my life is still effective. It's just that the operation process is a little more complicated and consumes more money. It should take a few minutes over there." Annie grabbed it from the table Holding the dimmed sapphire in his hand, he changed the topic, "Although it was short-lived, it was such a wonderful time. We joined forces to change our destiny, you and me, two people."
Her voice has become hoarse. But her mental strength kept the sentences ringing intact. The time she spent training the pronunciation of the spell must have been several times or even dozens of times longer than his, Naimen thought.
"But why, Anne? Is it worth it?"
"To be honest, I don't know," the girl said, "so I want to know. I want to know if there is a different path, leading to a world where people with reason and knowledge can live freely. People like you. I I want to give you strength no, I want to give you the opportunity to gain strength."
Anne has lost the ability to control her own narrative, and her words have begun to lose logic. She is just busy saying what she wants to say.
"The Magic Network is a tool that transcends the times. Advanced technological tools themselves can change the balance of power, and they will give power to people who otherwise have no power. Changing power will change the distribution of power, change society, and change everyone's lives. "
Now that she has lost all her magic, her eyes are no longer as shining as before, but they are still as determined.
"If there is no power, the powerful and the rich are not willing to give even a penny. There are many people who are afraid of magic and science. They are afraid of the unknown, and they are also afraid of the future. They are afraid of this, they Afraid of that. That may be a future stained with blood - but only under the tree of power watered with blood can we move forward. Let them continue to be afraid and trembling."
Having said this, Annie stopped and looked toward the vent on the ceiling, as if waiting for something.
There was no opening to the door. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would cry. Only now did he understand what the price of victory waswhat a high price it was.
"She hasn't finished it yet." Anne shook her head and continued, "Actually, even I don't know if I am right. But I know that free countries in this era are not enough. I said before that bureaucracy is inevitable of the collapse of democracy, and there are so many things I could tell you in advance about democratic institutionsbut there is no time. If only we had days, even weeks, after we confess to each other. I can't help myself. If you keep saying it, won¡¯t it seem a bit annoying?¡±
Anne could feel her thoughts gradually slowing down. She had so much to say, but she didn't know how much time she had. She didn't even know if this body could last until the magic net recovered.
"But I can tell you the conclusion. The history I know proves that the Holy Corman Empire established by you, Nemen Hugh Corman, is the greatest political system of this era. If I mean, if One, the probability is actually very low. After all, this possibility cannot be ruled out. I failed to be resurrected you?Go to Empire. There are more opportunities there. "
"Yeah." Naimen nodded and responded. His eyes were filled with tears and he couldn't stop them.
Anne stretched out her only right hand and gently touched his face.
"Don't cry, my hero. I still need you. Although you are not him, you are not that personbut"
The cold sapphire in her hand slid against his face.
"I love you."
She said so.
"I love you too. Really. I love you in the future, and I also love you now. It's really troublesome. This is probably that, what should I call it, two boats or a triangle relationship? I have a kind of self. She feels like a bad woman."
Anne raised her head and looked at the vent again. Still no response.
¡°I don¡¯t regret the life I¡¯ve experienced. I don¡¯t regret anything I¡¯ve experienced. This is enough.¡±
Every wound on her body was soaked with pain, and every muscle was hollowed out by fatigue. She has consumed too much magic power and physical strength, and now she is waiting purely with her last will.
"Because, I have proven the answer I want to know most. Fate does not exist, and we can have a better future. Even the flapping of a butterfly's wings may bring about a storm."
Anne carefully helped Naimen wipe away the tears on the other cheek, then held her necklace tightly and made up her mind. She believed that Bonnie would finish it well, and there was no need for her to wait any longer.
"Don't cry, my hero. No matter what others think of you, you are my hero. You will always be my hero. Always will be."
She remembered many, many things. Future, past, present.
"We will meet again in Interre, we will. If something goes wrong, I will definitely not forgive you, Naimen? Solayton?"
She called his name, looked into his eyes, and then pressed her fingers hard on the sapphire.
"Use all my remaining magic power to transfer memories!"
This magic is different from Anne¡¯s other magics. It doesn¡¯t have any gorgeous scenes and is low-key and heart-wrenching.
The remaining parts of her body, starting from her lower body, gradually turned into crystal powder and disappeared in the wind.
??First it¡¯s the waist, then the chest, then the smile, and finally the fingers.
The powder looks like the early frost of late autumn, or the first snow of Advent.
The frost dispersed in the wind and fell quietly, landing on Nai Men¡¯s hands.
The frost left by Annie is also blue.
The sapphire was dyed by these frosty powders, reflecting the bright blue light again.
Losing the support of the fingers, it began to fall freely.
Naimen moved his right hand and blocked the pendant that emitted blue light.
Now it is not a proof of the soul, but a proof of memory. It holds all the memories of Anne Seifer.
He noticed that there were a few red filaments in the originally sky-blue gemstone.
"Do you have to smile until the end? Do you have to do this, Anne?"
Apart from that, all that was left in his hands was a sleeveless Intre Army uniform. The tattered red uniform looked like a sleeveless jacket.
The jacket she left behind was also red, with crimson stains all over it, like a camouflage piece.
He just stood there, keeping his hands in the same position as before, as if he was still holding a girl.
He waited silently for the magic structure to be restored, like a statue.
Naimen didn¡¯t cry anymore because Anne said she wouldn¡¯t let him cry.
He just waited quietly for another white light to rush into the magic network from a distance.
Although he didn¡¯t know whether the white light would come or not. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
