Chapter 278 Getting Started
"It seems that I am not worthy of the title of master." Thor had been paying attention to the diary and paused before speaking.
But no matter what words ran through his mind, the diary had no intention of stopping him.
This undoubtedly made Thor much tougher.
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course, but we may not have much time. Master, you can ask me the questions you want to know most. As long as I can tell you, I will never lie to you."
"So you can't tell me about the lies you told me?" Thor sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
He asked, "Penny...did you do all these things in Mofan Town just to catch the Nightmare Butterfly that turned into a girl?"
"Nightmare butterflies are strange creatures between reality and illusion. They can travel between dreams and reality, and can also change people's consciousness and cognition. Controlling a nightmare butterfly is also a very attractive thing for formal wizards."
Kismet changed the subject, "However, I am not chasing her to tame her. The special feature of the Nightmare Butterfly is not only its ability to travel through consciousness, but also its ability to see through the past."
"Seeing through?" Thor murmured.
Yes, without the ability to understand a person’s past, how can one completely change a person’s perception of themselves?
Thinking of Ada, whose identity was unknown, and the father and son in the story about the nightmare butterfly he had read, Thor felt a chill in his heart.
"Don't worry, Master. You have the diary with you. The Nightmare Butterfly cannot break through your past."
"Is the Nightmare Butterfly dead now?"
Kismet held his chin with one hand, "Hmm, is that how she described herself? It seems that I addressed her inappropriately, causing the master to misunderstand her."
"Nightmare Butterfly is not a human being. She has no humanity. Master, remember not to be deceived by her appearance and behavior."
Cheated?
Thor's face turned cold, "I know who I'm facing."
Kismet smiled with satisfaction, like an elder looking at a younger person.
Thor subconsciously touched his arm, feeling a little unhappy, "What do you mean by me getting involved?"
Kismet looked into the distance, which should be the direction of Mofan Town. "Originally, I wanted to use the end of the fate of many people to bind the Nightmare Butterfly, and then kill her myself and take away her magical power - to see through the past. But..."
Kismet glanced at Thor, his eyes burning as if there was fire in them, "But the master entered the town at the right time."
He clasped his hands together, raised the corners of his mouth, and the muscles on his face couldn't stop shaking. "Not too early, not too late, just right. If it's too early, I won't be here yet, and Blood Town might hurt you; if it's too late, I'll have activated the curse, and you might not be able to come into contact with the Nightmare Butterfly. This is..."
Kismet's whole body began to tremble slightly, and the expression on his face was gradually distorted with excitement.
“…This is destiny!”
Compared to Kismet's excitement, Thor seemed very calm. He just glanced at his diary with his peripheral vision, thinking: "It turns out that the diary warned me not to go in because the mastermind had not arrived yet. Could this guy Kismet really protect me?"
But Thor soon became alert again, "Calm down, Thor. Before the piglets grow up, the butcher will also worry about their health. Hmm... it doesn't seem right to describe myself like this."
Perhaps Thor's calmness also affected Kismet, and his excitement gradually subsided.
"I'm sorry, Master." He plucked the strings twice, and the music calmed him down. "Anyway, because you were here, after the Nightmare Butterfly died, some of her magic was transferred to you. Therefore, you will have some ability to see through the past from now on."
The other party's words immediately reminded Thor of the time when he left Mofan Town, when his eyes had been burning with pain for a while.
Now that I think about it, it might have been due to the magical influence of Penny.
Thor tentatively mobilized the mental power around his eyes, and instantly felt a hint of cool air trying to drill out of his pupils.
It seems that something has indeed changed in his eyes.
Can it be used to observe Kismet?
The diary did not indicate any danger, and Thor was ready to take action.
But when Thor looked up at Kismet, he found that there was no one in front of him.
"Master, don't waste it on me. After all, you have only gained partial ability to see through the past. The usage period and the objects of use are limited." Kismet's voice came from behind Thor.
"It would be a waste, so why are you hiding?" Thor laughed secretly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and quickly disappeared, "Kismet suddenly came behind me just now, could it be the power of space witchcraft?"
"Master, if you want to use this ability, it is best to use it on the things that are closest to you and most useful to you."
Thor was alone in this world, without any blood relatives. Although he made two friends in the wizard tower, they kept a moderate way of getting along with each other and would not easily explore each other's privacy and past.
journal?
Thor suddenly thought of the hardcover book that had been with him since he traveled through time.
"Kismet is suggesting that I use this ability on the diary? Can I use it to see the past of the diary?"
Thor's fingers curled up little by little.
This guy Kismet seems to really know the diary well.
Who is he?
Recalling several scenes related to Kismet, Thor calmed his spirit and turned to face Kismet again, "Golden pages, did you give me those two golden pages?"
Kismet was stunned. "Is that what you call it? Golden pages... a very accurate description."
His expression was a little hard to describe, but he soon returned to a relaxed smile, "Yes. I accidentally condensed a golden page in Ralph Manor. I thought it was a pleasant surprise at the time, but now I think it was a good thing that I was able to connect with the master. It's a pity that the situation was a bit rushed later, and you returned to the wizard tower before I could recognize the master. I still had a page in my hand at the time, so I asked someone to send it to you."
"Aren't you afraid that it might get lost along the way?"
"How could that be? The golden pages will naturally rush towards his destiny."
If the golden pages can really become a part of the diary, then it must be a very important thing!
But the method of making golden pages...
"Does it take hundreds of lives to dissolve each page?"
Kismet pursed his lips. "Unfortunately, the passing of life alone cannot produce golden pages. Otherwise, I would rather provoke a war on the continent than stay in a small town and play games with others."
"Let's talk about the page formed in Ralph Manor. Its origin can be traced back to the Blood Rose Family nearly a hundred years ago, which was one of the most prestigious families in the Kema Empire at that time. A family with such a high status naturally has to sacrifice human lives. Moreover, most of the outstanding talents of its main family eventually died in the war in the Valley of the Hands. But even so, I still formed this golden page in Ralph Manor several decades later. Simple death is not..."
Kismet lowered his head and smiled. "In short, there are still many factors that will affect whether the golden pages can be condensed. Fate is always like this. It likes to add salt to the wound and suddenly slap you in the face when you are happy. Just like now..."
He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.
Thor followed his gaze and saw a small black dot in the sky.
The black spot gradually grew larger and seemed to be a giant bird.
Then, the giant bird landed in the direction of Mofan Town.
The current Grand Duke of the Principality of Kema, a second-level official wizard, Kira is here! (End of this chapter)
