So-called growth.
It is a very broad and profound concept.
Sometimes slowly.
Sometimes quickly.
It is linked to time, becoming a small boat on an eternal river, spinning gently and passing through repeated turbulent eddies.
At first, you will feel panic-stricken and drenched by the turbulent river of time.
Wait until your emotions are stable.
I can ignore the vortex that appears.
Even calm down.
Growth has actually been completed.
The movement is so silent that even the person involved can hardly notice his or her own growth.
"Servia, is there anything else you need to take care of? This time we are leaving, it is a farewell forever, and you will not have the chance to come back here in the future."
"No, Master Wizard."
Leave the hill.
On the way back to the Tower of Salvation.
Sylvia shook her head slightly. She had already been to the mansion, mourned her parents, and imprinted the scenery of the Crawfield territory in her heart.
There's nothing more to deal with.
But at this time.
Xu Xi said something that the hero didn't expect.
"But I remember that you have a friend."
“Eh…?”
friend?
The hero was stunned for a moment.
The wind blowing in her face lifted her light platinum hair, revealing her emerald green eyes, which first showed surprise and confusion, and then widened in disbelief.
"How come you still remember?!"
The hero suddenly realized that even if his body recovered, it would not be a good thing.
Her hands covered her cheeks.
I want to cover up the embarrassing redness as much as possible.
Ahhhh…
Sylvia Crawfield is dead.
Social death.
Such a scene is hilarious, without any sense of sadness or farewell.
The sadness is too intense.
Not suitable for brave men.
"Let's go, Sylvia," Xu Xi led the shy brave man, and when they were halfway there, they looked back at the two tombstones on the top of the hill.
The words on the stele have been badly worn out.
Blurred.
It's hard to tell.
As the hero left, scattered debris fell from the corners, as if weathered in an instant and turned into the finest powder.
Sweeped by the wind, drifting towards the unknown.
…
[You accompany Sylvia to your hometown for a final farewell]
【That was countless days and nights】
[The important memories of the hero’s thoughts and concerns]
[Lost family members, childhood memories, familiar territories... Accompanied by you, the brave man bids farewell to them one by one, bidding farewell to the past and heading towards tomorrow]
[The brave are so strong]
[Even if she doesn't need your comfort, she can bear everything silently]
[But you choose to speak out, diluting the silent sadness]
…
[After returning to the Tower of Salvation]
[Feeling the urgency of time, you hunt the undead faster]
[No matter who it is, they can see your eagerness]
[You released the four-ring witchcraft: Thunder and Fire Storm]
[You released the four-ring witchcraft: Swamp Covering]
[You released the four-ring witchcraft, comet summons]
【Your power is unmatched】
[In today's wizarding world, you are undoubtedly the strongest. With the help of the Tower of Savior and Severia, the amount of your soul fire is extremely astonishing.]
【They become the foundation of your progress】
【Nourish your soul all the time】
[The law of luck favors you again, and you have successfully found the dawn of a breakthrough for the Five-Ring Wizard]
Face death.
It's not a difficult thing to accept.
The process of waiting is more tormenting than death.
For Sylvia's safe departure and the safety of the people on the tower, Xu Xi turned into a machine that worked non-stop all day long, just to increase the tiny chance of escape.
The pressure was too suffocating.
Tightly strangle the throat of fate.
Fortunately.
In the 52nd year of simulation, Xu is 69 years old and his strength has made new progress.
This good news has to some extent diluted the urgency of the crisis.
"The promotion requirement to become a Five-Ring Wizard is to focus on the path of magic that concentrates one's own abilities."
"All knowledge."
"All the past."
"Break away from the constraints of the original world and create your own worldview."
"In simple terms, it means to forge your own path."
"This point is more or less involved in all major supernatural systems, but it is not like the wizard system that directly points to the obscure and difficult to understand root."
The top floor of the Tower of Salvation.
In the repair room that is exclusively for the Xu family.
Xu Xi lightly shook his robe, and the warm and silent power of his soul ignited the void, bursting into gray and dull mist flowers.
Then continue.
The flowers dissipate, turn into smoke, and reassemble into other things.
Those are the wizarding fields that Xu's department has mastered over a long period of time:
Magic potions, magic tools, elements, transformation, curses, bloodlines, summons...
At a glance.
The tide of souls surged and surging, causing numerous strange phenomena.
Xu is going to do it.
It is to select the field that best suits you as the foundation of the Five Rings Ceremony's worldview.
"Sure enough, these are not to my liking," Xu Xi said, holding the magic wand, shaking his head, and dispersing all the soul images.
He had been in the wizarding world.
A pseudo-omnipotent elemental mage with achievements that even gods cannot achieve.
However, in this simulation, there is no entry for elemental mastery, so even if you deliberately choose an element, you won't achieve any amazing results.
"In fact, my five-ring road was decided at the beginning of the simulation."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
"The intersection of life and death, and the soul collector."
"It combines the three realms of life, death, and soul."
The soul tide rises again.
The rippling waves bring together Xu Xi's knowledge and observations of the world.
Those invisible things become tangible.
Appearing around Xu Xi.
It is unpredictable and turbulent, with the mystery of the cycle of life and death and the emptiness of the soul.
Every slap and every collision will create new waves.
Those waves are so solid that they pave a brand new road for Xu Xi.
"In a sense, I also need to thank the death of the wizarding world..."
"For me, who has experienced the intersection of life and death, facing the death of the world is a shortcut to rapid accumulation and transformation."
"My life is like walking on thin ice..."
"Five-ring realm, immediate breakthrough!"
Condensation, compression, expansion.
Extending into the infinite depths of the soul.
A path of technique belonging to Xu's school was born, carrying his truth and knowledge, independent of the world.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
An indescribable pressure shattered everything in the repair room.
Space is like a mirror that is falling apart.
Cracked with lots of small lines.
"Sure enough, compared to the fourth ring period, the fifth ring wizard's ability to interfere with space is much stronger."
"In this way, the success rate of the plan to escape from the wizarding world will be greatly increased."
Maybe use light pressure with your palm.
The restless space is restored to its original state.
Quiet and silent.
After the successful promotion, the training room returned to its former tranquility.
Xu Xi pushed open the door. He was not ready to rest. He wanted to continue to transform and improve the performance of the wizard tower within the limited time.
"Master Wizard?"
The half-open door seemed to have hit something.
In the deep darkness, a figure sitting at the door stood up hurriedly.
The night is so heavy.
Dark and silent.
It was like a light and wide curtain, covering the entire world, making it dark and gloomy.
When the brave man stood up from the ground, Xu Xi finally saw her existence.
happy.
happy.
After seeing Xu Xi coming out.
The hero had a very easy-to-understand expression on his face.
"Servia, why are you here?" Xu Xi stretched out his hand, helped the brave man to stand up, and asked in confusion.
This promotion breakthrough.
Xu Xi did not let the girl guard the door.
Instead, he performed a flesh-and-blood regeneration ritual to give her a break, allowing the girl to enjoy the last bit of peace and tranquility before leaving this world.
But Sevastopol doesn't seem to think so.
Her long platinum hair, as bright as the sun, was hidden in the absolute darkness, leaving only her emerald green eyes, illuminated by the light from the door.
"Master Wizard, I am here to protect your safety."
Sylvia replied.
She did not take off her armor, but changed into a long skirt and rested elsewhere in the tower.
Instead, he wears armor and wields a sword as a living being.
Sitting at the door of the repair room.
Be on guard against any possible disturbances on behalf of the Xu family.
"..."
"Didn't I tell you to do whatever you want?"
Xu Xi took a step forward and walked towards the center of the tower.
Sylvia followed closely beside him.
She is very quiet.
There is a silent elegance in every step.
At the same time, I am also very serious.
He kept his eyes on his surroundings, ready to draw his sword to protect Xu Xi's safety.
"Master Wizard, I have obeyed your orders."
"For me, keeping you safe is the most important thing."
"Because……"
"I am your knight."
The brave man's gentle voice echoed in the quiet corridor.
Such an answer.
Xu Xi had heard it once.
That was eighteen years ago, when I had just mastered the art of flesh regeneration.
Xu Xi wanted the recovered hero to do something more meaningful, but the hero always stayed by Xu Xi's side during that precious hour.
Just like today.
Never changed.
Xu Xi stopped and looked at the simulated moonlight on the right side of the corridor.
The light was a little faint, but very pure white. Due to the tilted angle, the corridor looked like it was half bright and half dark.
Xu Xi walked on the dark side.
Sylvia walked on the light side.
The long golden hair was dyed a bright white.
Xu Xi said softly: "Servia, in fact, besides protecting me, you still have a lot of things to do."
"But I am your knight."
The goodwill of a knight can belong to many people.
But a knight's loyalty belongs to only one person.
This is a privilege.
A privilege exclusive to the Xu family.
In this silent and lonely world, only Xu Xi will lend a helping hand to the brave man and is willing to communicate with him, allowing that pale skeleton body to possess human warmth.
Sylvia didn't know how to express that feeling.
She just knew.
I want to help Xu Xi, I want to protect Xu Xi, I want to spend more time with Xu Xi.
"Master Wizard, I..."
Under the moonlight.
The girl looked a little uneasy: "Does this bother you?"
It is indeed a bit troubling, but perhaps I hope that the brave ones can have a brighter and more independent future.
But when I met that uneasy face.
I couldn't even utter a word of criticism: "No, I'm glad to have a beautiful guardian knight like Sylvia."
"B-beautiful?!"
The darkness obscured almost all colors.
But it can't cover up the girl's blush.
Looking at the flustered Sylvia, Xu Xi couldn't help but wonder if this brave man was too naive.
It seems that I have to be more careful with my words in front of Sylvia in the future.
No.
There is no future.
Xu Xi summoned the simulator panel, looked at the soul collector entry flashing on it, and fell into a plan that only he knew.
…
[You have successfully been promoted to Five-Ring Wizard]
【Consolidate the past, consolidate the road, and open up a unique world view】
[Even in the wizarding world thousands of years ago]
[You can also become a great wizard recorded in the magic tool book. Your name will be recorded in the wizard civilization from the past to the future.]
[But in the doomsday period when the world is on the verge of extinction, only the people in the Tower of Salvation know this good news.]
…
[You plan the time for interdimensional travel]
【And inform everyone in the tower】
[This is a grand escape, an extreme self-rescue in the face of death]
[People are terrified of this and are grateful to you because without you, they wouldn’t even have a chance to save themselves]
[You stand on the top of the tower, looking down at the tower that has grown larger over the past few decades]
[Looking at the mutant dead mushrooms and mutant sand fruit that I cultivated]
[I just feel that time flies by in a blink of an eye]
[You once woke up in a mass grave, and you wanted to study death]
[And now, you have become the savior in everyone's eyes, the "adult" who leads them to tomorrow]
[You smiled]
[I think the title of "that adult" is a bit strange]
"You should rest."
One week before the interdimensional journey.
Sylvia brought hot tea and looked at Xu Xi with worry.
To ensure smooth cross-dimensional travel.
A few days left.
Xu's department inspects the wizard tower every day.
That is an extremely huge workload that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even a five-ring wizard cannot complete it quickly.
"It's okay, Sylvia. I'm fine."
Xu Xi responded to the girl's concern with a smile.
Just between the eyebrows.
It's hard to hide the tiredness.
…
[The appointed day has come, and you are ready to leave the wizarding world]
The wizarding world remains silent.
Black sun and blood moon.
Undead and ghosts.
Apart from being closer to the endless underworld, nothing has changed at all.
But Xu Xi knew that this calm was just a false appearance. If he left after real changes occurred, it would be too late.
"Servia, is everyone ready?"
"Um!"
After getting the final confirmation, Xu Xi no longer hesitated and fully activated the Tower of Salvation.
Soul Fire Reactor, open.
Levitation ritual, start.
Advance the technique and open it.
Interplanar anchoring, open.
Witchcraft attack and defense platform, open.
With Xu Xi, the five-ring wizard, as the core, the powerful soul force penetrated into the space, creating wave-like ripples.
Snap——
Snap——
An incredible scene appeared.
The floating wizard tower, as huge as a mountain and blocking out the sun, was rising with brilliant blue soul fire. It was so hot that it burned through the space barriers and shattered them one after another.
"That adult is exerting his strength!"
"That sir is truly the greatest god!"
Inside the tower, people were filled with fear and awe, staring at this miraculous sight with wide eyes.
The Tower of Savior began to break away from the wizarding world.
