Thirty-six: The constraints of the world of mind

Although alchemy, compared with the fighting spirit and magic that have been passed down since time immemorial, can only be regarded as a new academic department, it has become an indispensable system in the world so far... or power is not wrong? On the premise of acknowledging magic and based on it, this system called alchemy has completed countless things that even magic cannot complete.

Whether on the city towers of some large cities, the magic cannon system that does not require manual manipulation, or the shelling system on sea ships or airships, is all based on the work of an alchemist - but this is only recognized by the public, and alchemy serves some obvious manifestations of the public.

To this day, although alchemists, as a profession that focuses on research, do not focus on practicing combat, it does not mean that they are completely helpless in combat. Even with enough props, it is normal for such alchemists to be called "no match-up at the same level"...

For example, Rorona is now.

But if you really want to say it, now Rorona has gradually deviated from the path of an alchemist, or not, but has begun to move forward and transform into another more powerful branch - the sage, the vocational agency that reaches the end of an alchemist, or if it reaches this point, it can no longer be called an alchemist.

There is an essential difference between those who know and manipulate the truth and those who play with props and tricks. Perhaps it is because of the blessing of half of the stone of truth that he holds, or because of the mysterious treasure called the Book of Another World, but in short, Rorona is no longer just an ordinary alchemist.

Perhaps if this continues to develop steadily, a new sage will be born?

As for the method of advancing to becoming a sage, no one knows, but the only thing that is certain is that in the world of alchemists, the legend of the birth of a new sage was circulated.

From this we can see that whether according to Leco, the Stone of Truth is just a prop of the law of fraud, or as the "Holy Grail" says, it does have mysterious power, then there is no doubt that this thing that should not exist in this world has power that is difficult for humans to reach!

Such power... is even enough to subdue a dragon with only the strength of an intermediate alchemist and without any talent in combat?!

Perhaps in Rorona's view, there is almost no human being who is fighting alone to subdue Simo, even she can't! After all, the scale armor that is so dark that it seems to absorb any light has a magic resistance that no magic prop can reach!

But after watching Leco appear in the crystal ball, she took it for granted - if there was really a way to fight alone, the only way was to destroy herself! What made Rorona speechless was that Simo was the kind of arrogant guy who had absolute confidence in strength and would even take it for granted that no opponent would catch her eye.

Although she is not wrong with her thinking, there are occasional events that are particularly standardized - for example, now, Leco, who can survive only at the level of an intermediate alchemist, is her nemesis.

No doubt was needed at all, Rorona instantly found out that Simo must have attacked Leco with a fatal or serious injury without saying a word, and then naturally entered the other party's trap and put all the damage back on her...

Due to the severe damage that was almost completely cut open, Simo would fall to the ground for a while and could not do anything. The other party sat on the side without any intention of continuing to attack. His silent look was just like the boss who would sit on the counter and play with coins in his memory...

The long dark hair that was not allowed to be taken down on his shoulders, and he seemed to be staring at a crystal ball that was exactly the same as that in Udir's hand that was taken out of his arms. His dark pupils seemed to pass through the crystal ball and saw the battle situation on Udir's side - this seemed to be the same props as the communication equipment they used. As for why it has the same appearance as the crystal ball, it seemed to be out of Udir's personal hobby.

"Oh, long time no see, Udil, you haven't been killed yet?" The dark pupils fell on Rorona through the hazy thing that appeared in the crystal ball. Although it was not close at this time, Rorona had the illusion of facing the enemy that she had long been away.

"I really didn't expect that I used to be a primary apprentice who only knew how to use antidotes, but now it can pose such a great threat to us, even one or two people can't deal with it?" continued in a relaxed or indifferent tone.

"It makes me look at you with admiration, my nephew." And the last sentence was undoubtedly said to Rorona.

"Oh, I remember you." Faced with Leco, who could be called the enemy of the master killer, Rorona replied in a rare calm manner: "It's rare that you still have the courage to appear in front of me. Even if you apologize to me with the etiquette of "exposed breasts" or "provoking the ground", I can't suppress the idea of ​​removing you from the bottom of the box!"

Rorona said slowly, and at the same time, she carefully looked at the buildings around the other party. Finally, based on a grocery store that she had just passed, she came to the conclusion that the other party was about five streets away from her... For now, should she save Simo? Or use the seal of the sky dragon to exchange for the safety of Alan and Tolia for a while, and the only thing left in front of her was this guy who wanted to dismantle him.

"Do you still expect the blood of ordinary humans?" He said slowly to the magic sword in his hand, turned around and faced the direction of the position of Leco that he had analyzed before. His entire movement seemed to be deserted, as if Udir, who had fought with her before, had now become a character of insignificance.

However, just as she was about to take steps, a guy who was exactly the same height and appearance as her, with the only difference being that his hair had turned white, stood in front of him.

Rorona had no favoritism towards the doll that was exactly the same as herself and created to fight against herself, and said impatiently: "Get out! I have no interest in you anymore, you are a flaw!" At the same time, she waved her sword to the other party, as if it was just a move to drive away a fly, but if she was hit, she would probably be easily cut off in half.

However, such an attack was blocked. Udir, who had the same appearance as him in front of him, stopped him without hesitation and said slowly: "Although I don't know what kind of grudge you and that guy Leco, I can't do it if I just retreat like this. After all, this is my job."

Listening to this conversation without any hesitation, Rorona couldn't help frowning. Although the guy in front of her was no longer his opponent, she could not get rid of the other party's entanglement immediately. And most importantly, this inherent barrier was still quickly depleting her magic power.

Before the magic power that maintains the inherent barrier is exhausted, first defeat the opponent in front of you who is at least 90% of his strength, then kill Lecco and then rescue Alan? If you don’t want to compromise, this is the only way, but this process is obviously impossible to complete. Such a conclusion made Rorona calm down from seeing her enemies.

Looking at the calming opponent in front of him deeply, Udir began to say slowly: "From the beginning, I didn't plan to defeat you in such a state. What I really want to say is just a role like a negotiating messenger. Of course, this is also a rare opportunity for this doll to experiment."

Indeed, it may not matter to him that the winner is a good thing. Winning is a good thing, but even losing will not affect the entire plan... Rorona confirmed deeply.

"So, what are you going to do now?" At the same time, the other party also asked.

Rorona:...

"If I cannot meet my requirements, they will all die? As long as you answer 'No', then it doesn't take 5 seconds and your companions will die because of this. Are you choosing a companion or two insignificant things?" At this time, Udir said without any haste as he said before.

Such a question was exchanged for a long period of silence from the other party, but Udir seemed to mind it. He took advantage of the rare quietness that the other party did not disturb him and continued to say what he wanted to say.

"Actually, from the beginning, my plan was that this was a problem that you didn't need to consider at all. After all, the companions you knew were undoubtedly more important than the sealing orb that was useless to you... But now, I have changed my mind. I admit the argument you said before, "The world exists around you."

Udir still said to himself, even though he became exactly the same as Rorona but had been serious, he rarely showed his interest: "This kind of stupid thought, as your true thought, is so natural, otherwise this inherent barrier that is effective for the world would not have appeared, so..."

"I began to be curious about this, what would you choose?" Then the eyes that had slowly brought death energy because of the beginning of decay of the body seemed to be given a new soul at this moment, and a light flashed inexplicably. Although it was only a short moment, it still fell into Rorona's eyes.

"So...my conclusion is." Udir suddenly relaxed his tone and said the following words after a little thought.

"Sure enough, for you, I'm afraid that it's not just us as enemies, but even as companions, they are just 'insignificant characters in the world that revolves around you, and they want as much as they want, and can replace them at will'?!"

"In this way, which one is more important, an unimportant character or an unimportant prop?" asked with interest, and his bright eyes were staring at the girl who was intersecting with his sword blade in front of him.

The interesting question she answered next was something she could not even guess, which made him feel extremely curious.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

If the props are lost, then you can get more powerful! Besides, it is a "grocery" with unusable "gray words". If the partner "dead", you can still replace the new "partner", right? And... since it is a game, as long as the protagonist is still there, it will not affect the game's completion level.

All of this is common sense in the game, and what you really want to say is not an extremely important thing. At this time, Rorona is also facing such a choice.

If Rorona is currently facing such a dilemma in choosing, then Alan, not far away, is facing a dilemma in reality - the solid ice block completely sealed his legs inside, and even began to slowly condense upwards. The matter has now fully covered his thighs.

Or it doesn't take long to face the dilemma of being completely frozen when he first fought with the other party... But what made him embarrassed was that there were no invisible fairies around him who would help him this time, and he could not transform into a magic girl?

However, he did not feel sorry for being unable to transform into a magic girl...

He was still trying hard to get rid of his current predicament. After the young man who sealed himself in front of him took out a prop that seemed like a call crystal ball, he was attracted by it and even forgot to break free from the ice layer under him. The reason was simply because the figure of the person he was looking for appeared in the communication crystal ball?

What made him feel embarrassed was that even though he was completely in a tough battle, the other side seemed to have mastered the overall situation. Victory was already a matter of time. In this way, whether it was he who helped her out of worry, or whether she came to save her after solving her opponent, was already a question worth thinking about!

But what surprised him even more was still behind him. This surprise only came from the words of the guy who looked exactly like Rorona but his hair began to slowly turn white.

Although I have already understood Rorona's self-centered idea, if according to what the other party said, it is all optional except for herself, and probably only appears in the same role in the drama, then it is no longer "self-centered" at all, but the coldness of indifference?

Rorona is not such a guy. Maybe she always likes to cause trouble for others, but there is nothing bad for her own people... So, answer him! Friends are the most precious wealth! Allen thought so, but out of his expectations, Rorona fell silent as if she was speechless.

What is going on? Allen thought in disbelief.

However, Sta, who was on the side, seemed to see clearly the thoughts of the boy in front of him. Since a partner is the most important wealth for him, then of course he would rather see the answer that he is also the most precious wealth for his partner, right?

"This is an inherent barrier, right? Or to be precise, it is the world of your friend's heart." Such a sudden voice came from the mouth of the young man sitting upright on the ice wall in front of him.

And his words were obviously not finished: "But the abilities derived from the world of mind are not just how they want to set them up or how they are formed. Of course, they must be consistent with themselves to a certain extent. Moreover, depending on their abilities, the effects are also strong and weak. As for the inherent barriers that we are in now that can even directly correct the laws, the level is undoubtedly extremely strong."

"But the more powerful the effect, the more extreme the setting corresponding to the personal inner self... Therefore, most of the extremely evil people with psychological distortion have an unimaginable inner world." Sta said slowly.

"..." Allen was silent. Although he didn't know why the enemy in front of him had to explain to him, he gave up and continued to struggle and listened quietly. After a while, he couldn't help asking: "In other words, things like the inherent barrier can only be used by those who are like those with secondary disease?"

He glanced at Allen strangely, and Stah answered inexplicably: "Even an ordinary person can create an inherent barrier, but is there any difference between such a normal and formal world of mind and the real world? There is no way to cause any strange constraints to the other party, right?"

"That's really... an amazing ability." Alan replied naughtyly, and at the same time, the atmosphere where the two should have been facing the enemy was eased because of such a sentence.

"So the situation at this moment is that no matter what she really thinks, she cannot deny such a proposition, because once it is denied, the inherent barrier that can only be generated by the extreme 'world is centered on me' will no longer exist. This is not the choice of what you mean to her, but the trade-off between companion and power." Sta continued.

"If the answer is yes, then we certainly will not get any benefits, and you will be killed by us, but if the answer is no... then we will get what we want, and she will lose the ability to continue using this because it violates the definition of the world of mind that she has established." A heavy answer came out.

Such serious consequences suddenly made Allen unable to speak. Just one answer would lead to the collapse of the inherent barrier that had been set, which he absolutely did not expect.

"So... when Udir gave the girl such a choice, it was confirmed that it was our victory." Sta said slowly.

"So, what are you going to do now?" The same interesting words came from the mouths of Sta and Udir who were standing in different places.
