Xiao Chen woke up from the illusion and let go of the crystal ball. However, Luo Ling seemed to have not yet finished her journey. She still closed her eyes and put her hand on the crystal ball.
He happily entered his own meditation space, looking for the gains of this memory journey.
Two floating cubes were added in the sky. Although the Chain of Mind and Dream of Sleep were two unattainable holy-level magics, they were pleasing to the eye.
Next to the stone tablets recording the secret spells, there were three more stone slabs laid on the sand, on which were engraved three magic arrays, namely, long-range casting, cross-level casting and extreme effect casting.
He was looking at these magic circles when Tasia unconsciously came close to him. Her breath was carried to his nose by the sea breeze and penetrated into his lungs. He could see her silver hair in the corners of his eyes and hear her exclamation in his ears: "Wow! So many harvests."
"Haha, I'm lucky." Xiao Chen unconsciously stepped to the side, and when he turned around he met Tasia's watery eyes.
"Ahem." Xiao Chen touched his nose and said, "Tasia, I saw how the spirit servants fought today. After they were summoned, they were just like real people. They could see, hear, touch, and use real weapons. I think if my mental strength is enough, you might be able to live like a normal person for a period of time every day."
"What's the point of becoming a real person? You are so cautious here and don't want to pay attention to me. You even avoid me when you go outside." Tasya said faintly.
"Why would I hide from you? Besides, you don't live for me." Xiao Chen said helplessly, holding his forehead.
"I have become a dead hero in everyone's eyes. I don't exist to anyone except you. Isn't this living because of you?"
"This is a bit far-fetched..."
"I made it impossible for you to explain to Luo Ling?"
"No. You're overthinking it." Xiao Chen denied.
"No? Then come closer."
"Tasia, you have changed. You used to be so noble that many mages didn't even dare to get close to you." Xiao Chen sighed with his head down.
"Anyone who is locked up on an island and lives a lonely life every day will naturally want to get close to every living thing they meet, even whitebait and crabs, let alone a living person like you."
"Okay." Xiao Chen took a step towards Tashia. Tashia came over excitedly and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. She stood on tiptoe, trying to get closer to Xiao Chen in height.
"Okay, tell me about these new magics."
Seeing the girl's happy smile, Xiao Chen suddenly felt a little sad.
—————
The crystal ball suddenly became smaller and turned into a bracelet, hanging on Luo Ling's wrist. The sphere turned into a bead, and the misty fog still shone in the middle.
"Awake?" Xiao Chen stared at her wrist and looked at her. "What happened to this crystal ball? How did it turn into a bead?"
"Because it recognizes me as its master. Gomez handed it over to me." Luo Ling said as she pinched the beads in her hands.
"Hey, what's going on? Have you communicated with Gomez?" Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Why didn't he talk to me? I just witnessed his escape from the Dream Tower and the establishment of the Spirit Refining Tower."
Luo Ling asked: "In your experience, did Gomez negotiate with the other party step by step and then build the Spirit Refining Tower?"
"That's right. But I also found out some extra information." Xiao Chen gave a brief account of what he had experienced.
"Well, that is to say, you basically didn't change history, nor did you contribute anything, let alone do anything to satisfy Gomez's remaining will." Luo Ling said.
"What are you talking about? Is it possible to change the course of events? What was your experience like?"
"My experience..." Luo Ling smiled proudly, "From the beginning, when I found that I could control Gomez, I realized that in this virtual world, there is a lot of freedom. Before I stopped the car, everything I experienced was basically the same as yours, but after I met the elf Khalid, our paths were completely different."
"Khalid? Did you manage to save him?"
"No, but I convinced him to become Gomez's spirit servant."
"But I gave the control to Gomez, and he didn't do that?" Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"Of course, because historically Gomez didn't do it, but that doesn't mean he can't do it."
"I don't remember you knowing the Soul Bridge magic, how did you do it?"
"I can't, but Gomez can. I just need to give instructions to Gomez to execute. It's just like in a game, when you want the protagonist to use a skill, you just need to click a button. You didn't even realize this, did you?"
Xiao Chen was speechless, "I, I thought I could only walk and talk..."
Luo Ling shook her head and sighed, "The first thing I did when the scene started was to give an order for Gomez to release a flash spell."
Xiao Chen suddenly felt that he might have missed a lot of things...
"After using a new character, isn't it common sense to practice each skill first?" Luo Ling muttered.
"Okay. What happened next? You also met the prophet, right? Did you have a feeling that she was a very special existence, as if she transcended space?"
“Yeah, so after Gomez talked to her for a few minutes, I suddenly asked her a question: Do you know where you are now
She answered me: I am observing you in a fantasy.
So I said: Since you want to observe me, why don’t you accompany me on this journey
She asked me why again
I said: This way you can understand me better and influence me.
So she stayed.”
"You, you actually kidnapped the prophet?"
"It's interesting, isn't it? I got some information out of her and deduced that there would be an ambush later. Then I changed the plan and did not go to Black Stone City. Instead, I took a detour back to White Eagle City.
Before, outside White Eagle City, Gomez severely injured three saints of the Temple of Nature. After one of them recovered a little, he led most of the temple masters south to hunt us down. The other two who were more seriously injured were recuperating in the city. As a result, these two saints were killed by my surprise attack.
We rested in White Eagle City and recruited magicians from several magic towers around. These opportunists saw that we had won a great victory and turned over one after another. Then I let Gomez set an ambush alone and used the Tide of Annihilation magic on the third saint and a large number of Temple Knights who came to support us in a valley.
In your story, Gomez was not exaggerating. This magic killed nearly 70% of the enemies, and the effect was extremely amazing, but the backlash to the caster was also great. If it weren't for the master-level spirit servant Khalid who was responsible for the defense formation, Gomez himself would have been killed by the tide of annihilation. Then I let Gomez and Khalid team up again to kill the last saint.
When we got here, the team ambushed by the Temple of Nature was completely dealt with."
