I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

To this, Isabella’s answer was:

"Because I already know in advance what mantra you are using."

Cheng Rang opened his eyes wide: "Eh? Impossible! I've obviously racked my brains to think of a way to use myself as a flash bomb to interfere with your vision? How could you still discover my intentions in advance?"

Isabella said: "My sight was indeed disturbed at the time and I couldn't see anything clearly, but -"

"For things like spells, you don't necessarily need to 'see' to know the other party's intentions."

Spell power is the condensation and collection of spiritual power, mixed with powerful emotional power, and this powerful emotional power that does not belong to oneself and comes from the outside can be perceived by the opponent.

Isabella stretched out her hand, and with the flow of spell power, the spell emerged, and a palm-sized black cube appeared, which was a miniature version of the curse that was shattered by Cheng Rang's punch at the beginning.

"At that time, your idea was to construct the spell in advance and guide it with gestures, and wait for the final spell to be activated... But you may not have noticed this yet, that is, starting from mobilizing the spell power and inscribing the spell into the circuit. The moment the text was written, this intention began to be perceived.”

"So even if I didn't chant the spell at that time, you already knew what skills I was going to use?"

"That's right." Isabella nodded and dispelled the curse in her hand.

Leticia stepped forward and said: "Have you forgotten? It took you, a wooden swordsman, more than two weeks and more than one day to perceive the basic component of the curse - that is, the existence of spiritual power. But Isabella is here On the second day after being exposed to the mantra, I was able to release the sparks of the mantra."

In other words, Isabella's sensitivity to the power of magic is much higher than that of Cheng Rang, and even -

"Even stronger than I was at the beginning."

In Leticia's calm tone, everyone gathered around Isabella and gasped.

"Is this a lie? Isabella's sense of spells is stronger than Miss Leticia's?"

"I mean - stronger than I was at the beginning!" Leticia pouted her lips with some dissatisfaction, interrupting Elaine's exclamation, and corrected: "Now it's not like me... Let’s divide it into equal parts, tsk.”

As expected, she couldn't lie as calmly as Gresta, and Letitia was obviously still a little bit hesitant to admit Isabella's talent in this area.

"...Isn't that even scarier? You are the God of Curses now, the God of Curses!" Cheng Rang shouted to emphasize.

"So genius and human beings are two different things."

"..."

"..."

"Ah, indeed."

Facing everyone's fiery gazes, Isabella's cheeks turned red and her voice softened.

"Don't...don't stare at people like this..."

She mustered up her last courage and tugged on Leticia's sleeves, saying: "Master..."

"Oh, yes, the final result announcement and advancement ceremony haven't started yet. Come on, come on, get out of the way!"

Leticia waved her arms to disperse the crowded crowd and clear a small space.

"Ahem!"

She cleared her throat first and looked at Cheng Rang.

"Cheng Rang, the result of the Mantra Master Graduation Examination - failed! Go back and practice for another two years!"

"...Yes." Cheng Rang had no choice but to listen and shrug with a wry smile.

The most basic graduation requirements for a mantra master are silent casting and mobile casting. I only have the "Mantra Spark" to omit the mantra, but I am quite proficient in mobile casting.

But from the beginning, this kind of attack was extremely slow to take effect and the mantra did not cover a large area. It was not threatening to Isabella at all. Apart from setting off fireworks at the beginning, it was of no use. It's a good place, and it was expected that he failed to pass the graduation exam this time.

After all, what Cheng Rang originally thought was that he could just meet the most basic standards and graduate and be done with it. Who would have thought that he would be competing against Isabella on the day of the exam?

Hey, it’s so uncomfortable.

Leticia rolled her eyes at Cheng Rang, then her expression immediately changed as if in a Sichuan opera, she looked at Isabella aside with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Isabella Campbell, according to my investigation, has the ability to be an advanced Lin Curse master. Qualifications for the title are allowed to advance.”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Well, I hope you can continue on this road well in the future." Leticia paused. She wanted to say that she hoped Isabella would go further, but she changed her mind after thinking about it.

Finally, Leticia held her head high, touched the head of Isabella who was half-kneeling in front of her, and said loudly: "Leticia de Gesel" Brisac bless you!”

"Hey...you've been waiting for a long time to be able to say this confidently, right?" Cheng Rang immediately looked for an opportunity to demolish the tower, and received Letitia's dissatisfied cry.

"Long-winded!"

At this point, the Lin Curse Master badge held by Isabella automatically changed its style, from silver to light gold. Declaring proof that his Lin Curse Grandmaster’s strength has been certified.

Seeing this, Stephen suggested: "Then today is also a day worth celebrating..."

"Bantou—party! Is there a party?!"

"Well... I haven't had many parties recently. Do you want to think about it, Klaus?"

Klaus nodded, pushed up his glasses and said, "Well, considering that Cheng Rang was left alone when we celebrated Miss Isabella's graduation as a magician last time, this party can be regarded as a treat for him... ..compensate."

"Wuhu! Great!"

The first ones to celebrate must be Zabu, Leo and others. The fact that they can eat and drink with public funds is obviously not as important as what they are celebrating.

Cheng Rang scratched his head, "That's right... Then let me handle the venue this time - what do you guys think, is it a castle in the air or Moore playing Guacha?"

"Then it must be Moore's fault! It's best if Boss Cheng doesn't come to treat us?!"

"OK, it's decided then, call everyone, don't leave anyone out this time, I'm treating everyone, you can come!"

Boss Cheng has a lot of money. With a wave of his hand, if you are happy today, you can make whatever you want!

The group left the training ground while talking and laughing, discussing what they would order something new this time.

As the lights were turned off, the messy silver-gray space returned to silence, with only a slight burnt smell remaining here, quietly waiting for the automatic repair system to run...

Chapter 66 The Book of Cause and Effect and Price (Part 1)

It has been a week since the last party for Isabella to celebrate her success in the Advanced Examination.

Also today, Cheng Rang received news from Letitia - he could start reading the third book.

"Cause and Price"

Since Isabella was told very emphatically not to let Isabella read a single word in the book, and Cheng Rang had never been able to open the book, which was not thick, he was left alone this time. Came to the bookshelf.

Leticia said that she would wait for her in the reading room.

Holding the book, Cheng Rang came to the exquisite carved wooden door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

It can be felt that the extremely powerful spell energy has enveloped the entire room, including the door. The dense spells flash on the door, rotating - with a click, the door opens gently.

"Close the door."

Cheng Rang did as he was told. After the door of the reading room was re-closed, it was immediately locked by the seal of the Lin Curse as if it was fixed with the entire space.

Even after reading the entire "Curse Forms and Esperanto Text Variations", Cheng Rang could not easily identify the meaning of the incantations on the spell formations, which is enough to show that they must be very advanced sequences of sealing properties. Characteristics that only curses possess.

"sit."

On the table in the middle of the room, Leticia stretched out her hand to signal Cheng Rang to sit opposite. Such a solemn atmosphere and Young Master Leticia's pitiful words made Cheng Rang feel a little uncomfortable.

The sound of the chair legs rubbing against the wooden floor suddenly sounded very harsh in the silent room. At this moment, Cheng Rang could even hear the sound of his own blood rushing through his body as his heart beat.

"Ahem, why are you so serious today?"

Cheng Rang couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to break the dead silence, pulled the chair behind his butt forward, and put the book in his hand on the table.

"Because this in itself is something that can't be joked about. This book -"

Leticia pressed the cover of the book in front of Cheng Rang and said, "Although it is not a forbidden book, the knowledge in it is more dangerous than the forbidden book...much more dangerous."

Cheng Rang stared into Leticia's eyes, then turned to the book she was pressing and swallowed.

"...How dangerous is it?"

"It took me three hundred and sixty-nine years to finish writing this book. As soon as I regain consciousness, I will immediately start writing and continue writing, never stopping. Every time I start writing, a part of my soul and body will disappear due to the price. ."

"...But you are immortal."

"So I can finish it."

Cheng Rang opened his mouth and couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

In other words, only Leticia, who has lost the concept of death, can repeatedly pay the price of writing this book. She will "die" every time she writes a stroke or a word.

"Then you still say this is not a forbidden book?!"

"The definition of a forbidden book does not apply to it. All enchantments, spells, and spells related to spirituality or that affect the soul or body of the reader will be classified as a forbidden book. But this book, it can It is neither the soul nor the body that interferes..."

"It's about cause and effect."

The moment the words fell, Leticia's palms emitted the signature green light representing the time spell. The dense spell, which was so complicated that Cheng Rang could feel severe pain in his eyes and brain just by glancing at it, flashed across Leticia's hand. Thea rotated in the palm of her hand.

Then the corresponding spell circle appeared on the cover of the book and the corresponding one in Leticia's hand.

Get up, rotate, and reunite.

It was as if the disc in Leticia's hand was the key - the key to opening this great book.

The disks composed of several layers of concentric circles and the incantations in them were etched together without distinguishing each other, and then the seals disappeared layer by layer, shrinking as the circular array rotated, and sank into the center of the book cover.

"Starting today, I will officially teach you the third genre of Brisac Conjuration - Time Curse."

The light disappeared, and Leticia raised her hand that was pressed on the cover, "....are you ready?"

Cheng Rang stared at the Book of Cause and Effect placed quietly on the wooden table in front of him, pursed his lips and said, "You didn't even tell me what preparations I need to make."

"Be prepared to die a hundred and eighty times."

".....What?"

"I have said that the price of the Time Spell is very terrible, but compared to its effect, it is also very amazing. So if you want to thoroughly master the basis of Time Spell casting - cause and effect, you also need to pay the price."

Leticia crossed her arms and looked Cheng Rang up and down.

"You are the first person I have found who is similar to me. I judge that you have the ability to pay the price of the time curse... maybe."

"What kind of ability...can't you die?"

Leticia paused for a moment, as if thinking about whether there were any better words to describe it.

"Yeah, that's more or less what it means." But she gave up immediately and nodded simply to admit.

"..."

"You can give up at any time if you want. I won't force you to learn all the sequences of the Time Spell."

"What's the point of saying this now? I don't have a choice."

Cheng Rang raised his head and looked at Leticia, "Isabella has been very strange in those days. Although I can only get ambiguous answers no matter how I ask her, I have almost guessed what she is looking for." Worried."

"I know you can't lie, Leticia, so tell me, do you know what Isabella is worried about?"

Letitia's expression instantly became complicated, and she really didn't want to answer this question.

"I won't embarrass you, so please answer me." Cheng Rang said.

Leticia struggled for a moment and finally nodded slowly.

"Know."

"Her magic teacher, that witch also knows?"

"Yes....."

"Only I don't know." At this moment, Cheng Rang's tone was close to a statement.

Leticia nodded again: "Yes."

At this time, Cheng Rang picked up the Book of Cause and Effect on the table with his left hand, held it empty with his right hand at his waist, and hung the long knife on his waist with a flash of original intention.

"I want to recall the name of the person I forgot, I want to escape from this endless reincarnation, I want to go home... I want to be an ordinary person again, do you think this is possible for me? Leticia?"

"There is no absolute zero or one in cause and effect. I can only answer you... Even if I have understood the ultimate meaning of the curse now, as the curse god, I still have not developed all the possibilities of Brisac's curse. possibility."

Cheng Rang smiled.

"....Is it because it is [infinity]?"

At this moment, even if Leticia was silent, Cheng Rang knew what the answer was.
