Chapter 960: Pepin and the Ancient Times
"Alish... was killed?"
"What it is?!"
At the same time as the scene in the palace was happening, two people in the Sea Magic Tower lost their composure. They were the other two of the Three Wise Men.
One of them is a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, and the other is an ordinary human girl.
The man is named Prelix, a member of the same but different family as Luminas, a top vampire clan, a midnight vampire.
The girl had a cute face, with a hood on her head and an eye patch on her eyes. The exposed parts of her face looked calm, as if she had no expression. Only the surprised tone of her voice could prove her shock.
His name was Pepin, and his race was human, but he was an immortal species among humans.
Their birth can be traced back to a long time ago. Including Alish, the three of them were "disciples" of the Creator God.
The one who created the Axis World was the creator star Wang Long, but the one who made the Axis World colorful was the creator God Ancestor. All races were created by God Ancestor, and according to the order of creation, they became God Ancestor's disciples.
The first one is Jessir, the ancestor of mankind, who is also Cagalli's "father", the one who lingered around and was eventually devoured by her. The second one is Luminas, the original vampire.
The third is the ancestor of the wind elves, and the fourth is Alish, the ancestor of the fire elves.
As a variant of vampires, Prelix was born eighth and exists as a guard of the God-Ancestor. Pippin is the thirteenth and is a specialized human being created for research.
She has no reproductive ability, and even no fighting ability, but she has the parallel computing ability to control other people's brains through telepathy. Now she also uses the barrier covering the sky above the Kingdom of Markshuya to control and borrow everyone's brains.
Just like the Misaka sisters, she can switch to anyone's perspective, and her computing power is equal to the sum of everyone's.
But because of this, when she found that she couldn't understand how Ji Xing knocked down Alish, she felt unspeakable fear in her heart.
After a full half-minute of silence, Prelix looked at Pepin and said, "Is this skilled merchant Ji Xing really stronger than the dragon seed?"
Pepin knew what he wanted to ask.
If one wants to dominate the world, dragon species are a problem that cannot be avoided. Whoever obtains dragon species will rule the world, just like Qiy has the White Ice Dragon and the Eastern Empire has the Scorching Flame Dragon, and they both became overlords.
As the three sages, they once planned to take control of Veldora in order to control the West. Two thousand years ago, they successfully guided Veldora to blow away Luminas' palace, but that was all, and they failed to achieve any substantial results.
Therefore, as a human being specialized in calculation, Pepin has been improving a technique called "Infinite Corridor" for the past two thousand years.
It has the special effect of "the stronger you are, the more you will be trapped inside", and was originally prepared for Veldora, but now...
"Although Alish's brain waves are very weak, he is still alive." Pepin sensed it for a while and said expressionlessly: "Let's give it a try."
Thus, the forbidden function of the magic tower was activated!
……
After Alish fell down in front of them for unknown reasons and Gadora "surrendered", Bonnie and Qiu's desire to fight just faded away.
They looked at each other, with a bitter smile on their faces, and replied: "We understand, and we will convey your meaning to His Majesty."
The familiar visual experience was exactly the same as what happened in Rimuru town a year ago.
But what can they do?
Seeing that the two men surrendered, even Gadora breathed a sigh of relief. Encountering such an unexpected guy, he felt helpless.
He glanced at Shinji and the other two and said, "Then we will take our leave first."
It's safest to get out of this guy's sight.
But things did not go as planned. Before Ji Xing could respond, Gadora frowned and realized that his magic power was being drained.
So do Bonnie, Qiu and others.
The amount absorbed was very weak for them, but for ordinary magicians it was enough to make them unconscious or even die!
At the same time, the pendants worn around the necks of the king and the two princes sparkled brightly, causing the expression of the king, who had just felt that he had survived a disaster, to change drastically.
"The magic tower, the magic tower is recovering magic power!"
A barrier was set up to protect the core area of the country and to widely absorb magicians. The special environment allowed the farmers and fishermen in the Sage City to have a certain amount of magic power. The Magic Tower was certainly not doing charity.
For the three sages, this sage city is the source of their stored magic power. When they need to use it, they naturally don’t care about the life or death of the storage device. In the first few seconds, the magic power that rolled back was still a stream, but it soon gathered into a river or sea!
On the city streets, residents fell to the ground one after another with pale faces, and some collapsed on the way to the hospital.
"This kind of barrier magic is really insidious. No, it's already in the realm of power." Gadora said with emotion: "Skill merchant, the night of the new moon has not yet arrived. If you need to identify the location of the magic tower, I can help you."
I don't know whether he was too aware of the current situation and changed his position so quickly, or whether he was also hoping that the remaining two wise men could bring surprises.
This doesn't matter to Ji-sung.
"no need."
After leaving three words, Ji Xing disappeared in the palace. Gadora only felt that the space around him was slightly stagnant, and the tiny amount of magic power that was drawn away flowed back and returned to his body.
This is something that goes against common sense. The magic power that was extracted has turned into attributeless magic elements in the air. Forcing it back into the body will only hurt itself.
But compared to what was happening outside, his was just a small matter, because not only him, but the lost magic power of nearly 10,000 people in the entire Sage City was returning in this way!
It's not that time is flowing backwards and being forced back, but it's just that everyone's magic deficiency is recovering quickly and returning to health!
In the magic tower, Pippin and Prelix's expressions changed drastically. What was this thing?
The barrier that had been maintained for a thousand years was shattered as the magic power reversed. The next moment, they no longer cared about whether the barrier existed or not - because Ji Xing had appeared in front of them!
After a brief moment of shock, Pepin immediately took a half step forward: "Infinite Corridor!"
Strange magic power flowed, and Pepin and Ji Xing disappeared together. Prelix's tense body relaxed, but he felt a little worried.
Can the Infinite Corridor really trap this guy who cannot be estimated by common sense?
……
Pepin also had no confidence.
The Infinite Corridor was created by her based on the power of the maze fairy Ramiris, using the magic tower as the source of magic power and her own computing power to create an infinite maze.
Normally, someone trapped in the Infinite Corridor would be permanently 'lost' until their magic power and physical strength were exhausted, but she felt that the Ji Xing she was facing could not be described as normal.
She merged into the maze and looked at Ji Xing standing in the beige corridor with a calm expression.
And her expression became more and more uneasy.
The next moment, Ji Xing suddenly turned his head and looked at her. She had already merged into the Infinite Corridor and could be said to be everywhere, but at this moment she felt that she and Ji Xing made eye contact.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she saw Ji Xing's mouth open and close, and he uttered two words that she didn't quite understand: "Ke Xue."
The world is spinning.
Her consciousness seemed to sink into the abyss, and she felt her body was bound by something. This feeling made her feel familiar, but she couldn't tell why. In fear, she tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't do it.
She didn't know how long it had passed before her world finally saw light again. She felt herself being pulled out of some liquid by a pair of large hands. Amid the sound of splashing water, she vaguely saw a familiar face, a face she missed so much.
"Awake?" A hoarse voice echoed: "My 13th disciple, Pepin."
"..." Pepin stood there in a trance.
"Hmm? Did it fail somewhere?"
The man in front of him was tall, with green horns on his head and vampire fangs. He seemed to have mixed the characteristics of many races together, but with a sense of perfect fusion of beauty.
Pepin was stunned and said, "God, God Ancestor?"
"Are the language system and memory system loaded perfectly?" The God Ancestor gestured behind him: "Put on your clothes yourself."
Pippin took the opportunity to look behind the God Ancestor. The sturdy young man standing there holding the girl's clothes also looked very familiar. After spending so many years together, she almost forgot what he looked like when he was a teenager.
"Prelix?!"
This, this is when I was just created by the God Ancestor? Why, is this a dream?
"Well, do you know the name of Prelix? I don't remember injecting his name into your memory. No, he was not born when you were created." The God Ancestor murmured strangely.
"..."
I remember that at this time, the God Ancestor should have explained my "functionality" to me, and should have said that he had high expectations for my research ability.
Will it evolve based on what I say?
Is this a skill for a skill merchant?
It seems... the parallel calculation of the Sage City has indeed failed, and the strength of my calculation ability has returned to the time when it was first created!
She grabbed the clothes stupidly, put them on, and suddenly rushed out.
The God Ancestor did not stop him, but just stared at Pippin's staggering steps with a thoughtful look. The young man beside him, Prelix, looked at the God Ancestor for instructions.
"No, leave her alone."
The God Ancestor raised one arm, as if he had figured something out, a hint of excitement appeared on his face, and he quickly followed where Pippin was going.
Pippin was seen stumbling and stumbling through the corridor of the Shenzu Experiment Tower and found the place with the huge French windows.
She looked into the distance. The giant trees that blocked out the sun were lush with branches and leaves, spreading towards the distance as if they were competing to grow. Various huge primitive monsters that seemed very strange in later generations were fighting endlessly inside.
I'm back?!
Fishing is more...
