Chapter 498 The World Forgot Me
Unfolding the old parchment, the handwriting on it was very sloppy. Perhaps Selwyn could not hold the pen steadily when he wrote the letter.
"I don't know what name you are using now. I can only call you an old friend. I believe you will agree with this title. After all, the friendship between us is worth a dry purse, thirteen silver coins..."
Amber Xiu calmly read the words above. The suicide note did not describe Amber Xiu's miserable future, nor did it mention anything else. It only contained the old man's remembrance of his half-life before his death.
From learning magic as a teenager, to meeting the love of his life, and finally seeing his lover leave him.
Amber Xiu sighed: "This is the only way for a prophecy mage to go."
He achieved success at a young age, became wealthy and prosperous, then discovered that fate was a pit and he fell deeper and deeper into it until he was certain that no matter how hard he tried, he could do nothing.
Whether it was Amber, Selwyn, or Mr. Doom, all the prophecy mages had the same experience. Harvey was just young and hadn't reached that stage yet. Sooner or later, he would have to go through the same things as these predecessors.
However, Selwyn's life is more ordinary than Amber's, because the destiny he follows is different from Amber's. He hides, conceals, and avoids misfortune.
Just like Amber's dice of fate, others cannot see it, but it can lock the fate. After Selwyn's lover passed away, he could also erase everything related to him from the world.
It is not just forgotten, even books that record information about Selwyn will be "lost" by fate. Maybe they are accidentally stained, or burned, anyway, anything that records relevant information will disappear and be forgotten.
The reason why Ambershu could remember the name Selwin was because he himself was also a prophecy wizard. In the eyes of others, Selwin had long ceased to exist.
However, even if the world has forgotten him, he can no longer escape his fate.
Death followed him like a shadow, and eventually brought this old man, who had lived in seclusion for half his life, to his final days.
"I thought I could treat you as an enemy, but after so many years I realized that we prophecy mages cannot tolerate hatred between each other. You and I are both prisoners walking on a rugged road of fate, and can only be forced to walk towards the destined death. I spent my whole life thinking that I could delay the arrival of fate, but in the end I failed.
"When you see this letter, I have been captured by fate, and you will also fall into the trap of the goddess of fate. Before fate is revealed, everything may change, so I will not tell you the future I foresee, but let my students bring this letter to you.
…
"My friend, the fact that you can read this far shows that you have realized something and have not chosen to escape. You may be the only prophet who can transcend fate. I place my last hope in you."
After reading the suicide note to the end, Amber did not see any resentment between the lines, only a hint of unwillingness. Unlike Amber, Selwyn was not as resigned to his fate, and spent his whole life looking for a way to escape his fate.
But the irony is that Selwyn's way of fighting against fate is to run away, while people like Ambershu who had already chosen to lie down are accustomed to relying on themselves instead of using the power of fate at will.
But regardless, the results seem to be the same.
After Amberxiu finished reading the suicide note, the words on the parchment began to swim like tadpoles and transformed into runes full of magic power. The originally ordinary letter suddenly turned into a magic scroll.
"This is……"
Amber may be the prophet who knows the power of destiny best in the world, but he still cannot fully understand the runes on the scroll. Amber only knows that this scroll condenses the last of Celwyn's power and is the highest research result of his life.
The girl who inherited the name Selwyn looked at the scroll in Amber's hand and said calmly, "This is a spell created by the teacher. He called it 'The World Forgets Me'. It can make everyone in the world forget themselves, including everything related to them."
Amber said to the girl: "It seems that you are not suitable to learn from Selwyn. This scroll is not as simple as making the world forget a person."
The girl asked curiously, "What is that?"
Amber explained: "It is to erase a concept from the soul of all intelligent life. This concept can be a human or something else."
"What would happen if everyone forgot to breathe?" the girl asked curiously.
Amber took a look at the girl and thought that this girl had dangerous ideas.
But Amber Xiu still explained: "It's okay, because breathing is an instinct of life. People will just gradually forget that this behavior is called breathing. All previous medical research related to breathing will be lost over time until the action of breathing is renamed and passed down with a new name."
The girl said strangely: "This doesn't seem to make any sense."
Amber did not continue to explain, but carefully put the scroll away, and then said to the girl: "Since you are not suitable for Selwyn's way, you should change your name. Inheriting this name is equivalent to inheriting your teacher's involvement with fate."
The girl hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master Ultraman, I don't want the teacher to be truly forgotten by the world. I hope that at least someone can remember this name."
Amber was silent for a moment, then said, "It's up to you. I'm just reminding you. From today on, you are my student."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Selwyn looked at Amber Xiu in surprise and asked quickly, "Teacher, are you willing to accept me now?"
"I have no reason to refuse. There are too few prophecy wizards in this world."
"I thought..." Selwyn said hesitantly, "I thought you would charge a large sum of tuition to accept me, teacher."
"Then you don't know me well enough." Amber Xiu laughed and said, "I can see at a glance that you are a poor guy. You'd better be prepared to work for me to deduct the tuition."
Selwyn said quickly, "Of course that's no problem. Please just give me your instructions, teacher."
Selwin already knew what kind of personality this Ultraman Master had.
Amber pointed in a certain direction of the island and said to her, "Go find your senior brother Harvey. He needs help right now. By the way, you are my third student."
Selwyn was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "The third one? Just now you said there were very few prophecy wizards!"
No wonder the previous teacher entrusted his last care to the new teacher. He is simply the darling of the goddess of fate.
Amber did not explain. After sending Selwin, the new student, to work, he quietly took out the Codex of the Dead and wrote a sentence in the chat group:
[My friends, my death is approaching, and I am afraid I can no longer repay the debts I have incurred.]
