Infinite loop, real and fake world
“Zhongxia, you’re too nervous.”
“Aren’t you observing me with the ‘art of truth’ right now?”
Antonya, who was standing right in front of Zhao Xu, asked in return. Her tone was still gentle and slow, and she didn’t seem to be in a hurry to explain herself just because she had been misunderstood.
“We can only rely on the spells in our hands.”
if there really is a spell that can deceive The Truth Technique, its Supreme position against illusions and transformation wouldn’t have been passed down to this day.
as she spoke, antonya’s tone became even more serious. ” even the evil god that’s been sealed in this place has to first terminate your ‘spiritual barrier’ before they can do anything to you. ”
“No matter if it’s a spell or a method to counter a spell, it won’t escape the rules. It is because of the existence of this set of rules that we mages can rely on the rules to influence this world.”
just like the ‘soul binding spell’ and ‘dog demon feast’ you just released, aren’t they all spells that can eliminate the possibility of the other party’s resurrection? ”
“If you didn’t believe this result from the beginning, why go through so much trouble?”
Antonya’s words hit right into Zhao Xu’s heart.
If he didn’t even believe in the most basic effects of spells, then what was the point of relying on spells?
But what they didn’t know was that Zhao Xu’s expression right now was very determined, and it was as if all of his pores were tensed up.
If his will could be materialized, he would be surrounded by layers of barriers.
first of all, I’d like to correct you. Based on the ‘Devil King’s installation’ that I’ve seen in a certain underground place, they do exist beyond the boundaries of magic.
“Secondly, the entire spell system is not perfect, which requires us mages to constantly innovate and make up for it. If all the rules are fixed, then we can just lie on the incantations of the past and live a peaceful life.”
the rule that no spells can be cast in the dead Magic area is already a superior rule in the entire magic network’s structure system. The mages still created ‘mana summoning’, which can trigger a flash of mana for a moment and cast a level 4 spell. It can also ignore the rule that no spells can be cast in the anti-magic field.
if one day, there’s really a spell that can ignore the effect of the Truesoul spell, as long as it remains in the entire magic system, the system will not collapse.
the beliefs of us mages will also not collapse.
As he said this, Zhao Xu’s tone became even more serious. this logic was something that my legendary wizard mentor, you, told me personally.
respect the results of past spells, and surpass the results of past spells.
so, right now, I’m suspecting that you, who looks exactly like my teacher, aren’t actually my real teacher Antonya. What else is there to doubt? ”
As Zhao Xu’s deafening questions rang out, Antonya’s expression changed slightly under the green light.
“Very interesting, very interesting indeed.”
Then, she took a step forward and her bright palm grabbed onto the sword that had turned back into a long sword in Zhao Xu’s hand. She grabbed onto the blade tightly.
“Since you believe in your judgment, you can stab me with your sword.”
It was like a whisper in the night sky. At this moment, Antonya’s alluring words rang out, and it was like a flickering candle flame burning Zhao Xu’s heart.
zhongxia, this is my newest test for you.
the mages ‘judgment in itself represents responsibility.
at the time of the city-state’s crisis, should we use spells to prevent the flood from breaking, or should we let it break and use spells to save the victims in the flood? ”
“In this world, there’s no such thing as an empty mouth.”
I can tolerate your question just now. It’s just a way for you to re-confirm the truth.
“So, I’m giving you one more chance to confirm it. If you’re wrong, then I’m very disappointed, and I’ll have to take back all your powers.”
At that moment, a strong wind suddenly started blowing around Antonya’s body, and the darkness around her seemed to have been swallowed up. The dim light cave that she had been in turned into nothing.
Everything disappeared.
At this moment, only the clear and pure Lake under their feet reflected their voices and shadows. Because they were stepped on lightly, there was a constant aftershock.
The purest flame curse energy that came from the magic net spread out from Antonya’s body and formed a net that was constantly being woven.
The silver Fire energy in Zhao Xu’s body also started to come out of his body uncontrollably, and it started to resonate with this type of energy that had a similar origin.
Even the ” spell slot ” energy in Zhao Xu’s body was jumping around excitedly. It was as if it was going through every single pore on his body and was calling out and praising him.
Slowly, Zhao Xu’s Silver Fire started to merge with the cursed fire on Antonya’s body. They intertwined with each other and formed a new blue and white net.
The silver Fire came from the energy of the goddess of magic.
The flame curse was the energy that came from the magic net’s source.
Even among the goddess ‘chosen, it was extremely rare to see one being able to cast the cursed fire. In every generation, only one person could awaken the cursed fire.
This was what Antonya had told him personally, and Zhao Xu had believed it without a doubt. At this moment, it was continuously torturing Zhao Xu’s heart.
At the same time, he felt as if his ears were ringing. Murmurs kept coming from the depths of his ears, as if they were trying to convince him to accept this new fact.
Even the most powerful devil Lords in the abyss couldn’t simulate such ” cursed fire ” energy in front of him.
Not to mention, it was impossible to forge it with just Silver Fire.
After a long time, Zhao Xu finally raised his head and looked at Antonya silently.
“Zhongxia, have you made your decision?”
“Yes.”
zhao xu’s head moved slightly, but the strength he used to hold the sword in his hand increased.
“Before I make my final decision, can I ask you one more question?” Zhao Xu suddenly asked.
“Of course, zhongxia. No matter how many questions you ask, I’ll be happy to answer them for you. However, I don’t want your problem to be just a means to delay time.”
“You are a mage and a man. I believe you have the courage to make your decision. This is a battle of ideals, understand?”
Antonya’s voice was ethereal and muffled at the moment, like the rain after the beginning of spring.
“Then what was the first thing we said when we first met?” Zhao Xu asked.
“Hello, Mr. Zhongxia.” Antonya said.
of course, this is the response of many people. Then I can repeat the second sentence to you-”
“Let me first introduce myself. I’m your mentor for the wizard course, Antonya. During this time, I will assist you in completing your Wizard Training.”
Antonya’s voice was still clear and melodious.
at this point, zhao xu’s expression relaxed a little and he smiled.
However, in the next moment, he exerted all the strength in his body, as if his blood vessels were expanding. He wanted to release all the courage in his life at this moment!
Improvisational spell, 18 luck points, all added to the attack!
In that instant, Zhao Xu’s attack level had increased from level 49 to level 67!
Plus, the long sword in Zhao Xu’s hand could ignore all ” armors ” and ” natural armors “, and he was able to directly block out the most important defense of countless people!
It could be said that even if a God’s incarnation was here, without using any special means, he would be pierced by the power of his attack!
However, this extremely powerful and explosive strike was only lightly pressed against Antonya’s chest.
Zhao Xu couldn’t move an inch forward even when the sword went from being stretched straight to being slightly bent, and it made a clear sound.
He couldn’t stab into her body at all.
He could even feel that this was not a technique like the wings of protection that could 100% defend against the next attack.
She had only relied on the most basic defensive ability to block his attack.
“This is your answer?” antonya asked in a soft voice.
I have to say, you pretending to be my teacher is too ugly and disgusting. Zhao Xu gritted his teeth.
He already understood that the other party’s methods had already surpassed all of his imagination.
An existence that could even imitate a method like ” cursed fire “, he wouldn’t have the slightest doubt even if it was an incarnation of a god.
He even suspected that he was the ‘evil god’ that the assassin had buried deep underground.
“Can you tell me what led you to this conclusion?”
Antonya, who was also standing upright, didn’t seem to be angry at all. Instead, she asked this question with great interest.
“It’s very simple. It’s because I’ve traveled back in time to a thousand years ago and met my teacher. That’s why it wasn’t the first time we met when I became a mage in Mystra.” Zhao Xu said.
also, it’s too fake that you retold everything that happened that day without missing a word. Even I can only recall it roughly. If I don’t use a memory-reading spell or a visual recall spell, I can’t do it so accurately.”
but you look so confident. You didn’t even try to recall what might be inaccurate before telling me directly. This shows that you’re the biggest suspect.
Antonya shook her head at this moment. you’re just trying to quibble. It’s too fake. As a wizard whose intelligence surpasses mortals, it’s not impossible for me to remember accurately if I deliberately try to remember.”
“Secondly, it’s not difficult for me to cast a spell in front of you and read my own memories. So your suspicion is completely without reason.”
as she spoke, antonya’s tone turned cold. ” this means that from the very beginning, you’ve been able to tell from a certain point, but you’re still not willing to say it. ”
antonya stuck out her pink tongue charmingly and licked her lips.
” this makes me extremely curious. what exactly did you see to make you so confident? ”
every legendary-mage is as deep as the ocean. Whatever they do carries an unpredictable characteristic. So, no matter how exaggerated I am today, it’s still within the reasonable range. You won’t be able to judge it from my words.
As she spoke, she raised her head in confusion and looked at the completely dark sky.
“now, can you tell me?”
“Oh?”
zhao xu laughed coldly. ” not acting anymore? ”
“Trying to change the mind of a stubborn person is an unnecessary effort. In fact, if I were to prove anything to you in the future, you’ll automatically understand it as my ‘ability’ that has transcended the scope of magic.”
but you’re not a stubborn person to begin with. I’m really curious about the reason why you can make such a judgment. As she spoke, Antonya lowered her head again and looked straight at Zhao Xu.
how did you do it? you’re clearly thinking, but I still can’t read any of your real thoughts? ”
At this moment, Zhao Xu finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Antonya, who understood that the other party had already admitted that she was a fake.
once, the sword in my hand also boasted about my ability.
he then shook his head. ” your abilities are too disgusting. you’re only taking precautions after reading the other party’s consciousness. ”
even if the other party can notice any flaws, you can deal with them in real-time. What a shameless tactic.
“That’s right.” The tall Antonya let go of the longsword that Zhao Xu had been holding tightly onto just now. Her palm was still white and smooth, and you couldn’t see any marks from the blade at all.
it seems like you’ve been trapped in a similar method before. It should be the ‘Demon King device’ you mentioned just now. I didn’t expect that there would be such a powerful existence in other worlds who could replicate such a method.
As she spoke, she shook her head in disbelief. could it be that there’s really a master who can see through the mystery of the brain in the VAT? and the kind that I don’t know about? ”
When he heard this, Zhao Xu couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
Brain in a jar!
If a person had been living in a world with self-consistent logic since childhood, how could it make him doubt that the world he was in was fake?
Humans could verify their vision through touch.
However, when one could even fake one’s sense of touch, one’s vision would be confused.
This was also the development process of illusion spells, from the initial confusion of the ” vision ” to the later confusion of the facial features.
“what’s wrong?” At this moment, Antonya saw that Zhao Xu wasn’t moving and couldn’t help but ask him back.
“Hehe.” Zhao Xu laughed coldly.
“you think i’ll tell you now?”
“Am I not walking right into a trap like this?”
Later on, you can simulate Antonya and appear to save me. Then, you can take me back to the original world of Arthur.
after eliminating the flaws, how am I supposed to know if the plot is real or fake? ”
At this moment, Zhao Xu pointed out this point in an extremely calm manner.
Living in an illusory world, and even the fact that he had ” escaped “, he didn’t know if it was real or fake.
It was like waking up from a ‘dream’, but in reality, it was just a dream. He was still in the dream.
This was the “unsolvable cycle” of the current situation.
Antonya also nodded in satisfaction. it’s a pity, but from what you’ve said, I’ve realized that there might not have been any real flaws in what you’ve just said.
“I can’t read your emotional changes, which means that you probably didn’t find it from the beginning. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the time to think so much.”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but be a little stunned. He really didn’t know what to say.
“Idiot.”
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out from behind Zhao Xu again. It was Antonya.
At this moment, one was in front of the other, and the two antonyas were facing each other.
