"Amnesia?"
It’s already 2021, why is there still such a bloody plot
After hearing Ernest's words about losing all his memory, Zhao Xu suddenly fell into an inexplicable state of sluggishness.
It was as if he was watching an action drama that had just reached its climax and was suddenly stopped forcibly, switching directly to a romantic plot by a low-level director.
I love you, you love him, and he loves me.
"No, don't be joking, right?" Zhao Xu silently protested.
This is the only person in history who can use eleventh and twelve-ring spells!
He actually lost his memory? What's the difference between this and a mage forgetting to read a magic spell
However, Antinoya looked pitiful, "Actually, I also hope this is a joke, otherwise, I will meet the white moonlight in my life earlier than originally."
"Or, I wouldn't have witnessed all the tragedies from birth to early childhood."
Zhao Xu felt a faint throbbing in his heart.
In Antinoya's memories, he had seen her when she was young and helpless. Her eyes were pitiful and made him want to hug her and give her warmth.
"How did I lose my memory?"
At this time, Zhao Xu no longer distinguishes between the two identities of "Ernest" and "Zhao Xu".
He took a deep breath.
Antinoya shook her head, "I don't know either."
She looked at Zhao Xu helplessly, "You know very well that I am the reflection of your heart. I can understand your memory, so I am also composed of your memory."
"But Ernest, he lost his memory and came to Arthur. But what he experienced before this time, even he himself doesn't know, and I can't know either."
"That's a past that he can't trace back."
Zhao Xu shook his head.
What a perfect endless loop.
The key is in the room and the door is locked. To open the door, the key is needed.
Then, after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but fall into a state of astonishment that was difficult to extricate himself from, and even fell into a deep shock.
In other words, it was difficult for him to determine one thing -
Ernest, in that terrifying plane, lost his memory for some reason, such as running for his life after being defeated, or being exposed to some kind of power during the fight.
Then he relied on instinct to return to the original world of Arthur.
But he chose the wrong node in the torrent of time and space, and then he mistakenly traveled thousands of years ago and returned to the era when Antinoya was not yet born
Or did the other party have to give up this memory because of some compelling reason
Or threatened? Or some kind of exchange? Or is it a last resort
Is there nothing more mourning than death
For example, the whole world is destroyed and he lives alone
So I simply erased all memories to avoid falling into an eternal state of pain.
Zhao Xu didn't hope it was the latter.
The thread of fate is endless, representing countless possibilities.
Just like tossing a coin into the sky, two lines of fate will emerge - the line on the front of the coin and the line on the back of the coin. In rare cases, there will also be an upright line, or a line picked up by a bird.
The choices of all the creatures on Arthur at this moment created countless fate lines that cannot be measured on a trillion-trillion scale.
This is a huge, indescribable level of complexity, and can be called Arthur's most mysterious superposition state.
But in the end, they all converge to one point.
Destiny has completed its answer.
It chooses the one with the greatest possibility and executes it.
Humanity has also completed its own observation.
They saw the world unfold.
The fate line of Ernest's past is the most likely fate line of Zhao Xu's future.
He didn't even dare to violate it.
If in this destiny line, he did not become a powerful mage and return to Arthur thousands of years ago.
Then at that time point, Antinoya will develop according to the fate line without Ernest.
Half-elves only live a few hundred years.
Even the immortal lich faces many adventurers and crusade, not to mention the natural threats from the gods of the death priesthood.
Whether Antinoya can survive to this moment has become a big question mark.
Even if Arthur loses Ernest's participation, the development of the entire magic system will most likely go in another direction, and the eight major factions will disappear.
Even today's mages are all specialized mages, and all mages can only learn a few two or three factions, and even magic has been lost.
These are possible.
After all, Ernest's status in the entire history of magic occupies at least more than one-third of the page. Sometimes the history of magic is even Ernest's official autobiography.
Zhao Xu, who is conservative, is afraid of knowing what his fate will be like in the future, knowing that he will return to Arthur in the ancient times, and then have to leave and return to the correct time point.
after.
He will still accept this fate.
This is the helplessness of fate.
It was this helplessness that made him panic, worrying that when he faced the choice of amnesia, it was also a helpless acceptance.
It is as if a person knew that at 5:30 in the afternoon, he would be hit and killed.
But in the next few world lines, the prophet discovered that every time he stood at the intersection and waited calmly for the vehicle that ran the red light to pass by, his subsequent fate would be even more tragic.
Even his family was even more unhappy because of it.
This constant recurrence, the constant recurrence of tragedy.
In the end, let this prophet, at that time point, stand there silently, calmly accepting the death arranged by fate.
This was the biggest fear in Zhao Xu's heart at this moment, after hearing that Ernest had lost his memory.
And Antinoya chuckled lightly, "Don't worry. Even if you lose your memory, you will still be you, Zhongxia, Ernest, and Zhao Xu."
"You will still be you, and you will still be him."
After hearing this, Zhao Xu took a deep breath from the bottom of his heart, although his whole body was perfectly controlled and maintained the most stable balance.
But he could still feel the redness on his cheeks, as if they were being burned by a fire.
Zhao Xu sighed silently.
Breathe in silently.
Breathing silently.
Like a middle-aged failed man, sitting by the bed, looking lonely at the future and tomorrow.
He suddenly knew that sometimes, knowing fate was an extremely cruel thing.
Especially when you have the confidence to change this fate, but don't have the courage to change it.
Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at Antinoya again, "Then after Ernest traveled through time, he was completely unaware of everything that would happen in the future?"
Antinoya nodded.
"At that time, the teacher accepted me as his disciple and Wuyue as his disciple. We were a small group and we all followed him closely."
As she spoke, she frowned slightly, "But most of them are girls, including the first, second, and third generation magic goddesses behind them."
"In the future, we will follow the teacher's last wish and stand up to become the new master god of magic at every Ragnarok moment."
"And the final scroll is the last resort left to us by the teacher. It consists of seven notebooks."
"On it, the secret of obtaining the magic priesthood is recorded. Basically, every candidate who becomes a legendary mage in the Mage Association will get a chance to see the true face of the final scroll. It is also at that time that they will know the truth of this world. I will also make an oath to protect magic until death."
"So relying on the legendary mages accumulated over the years, the entire process of becoming a god is far less complicated than in ancient times."
Zhao Xu silently looked at the notebook in his backpack that he had almost forgotten.
Damn, doesn't this mean that before he leaves Arthur, he has to complete these seven notebooks and then leave this world smoothly.
On the one hand, the former Arthur can also appear in the final scroll.
On the other hand, after he left, Arthur only had seven notebooks, the final scroll.
It won't be like now. There is the final scroll in the tower of the floating city, and he has a notebook on him that has not yet become the final scroll.
Recalling that he had used the "appraisal technique" to look at the notebook in his hand, Zhao Xu felt that he was too stupid on the spot.
"Then where did Ernest go after leaving Arthur's world? Do you know?"
Zhao Xu asked this question with the last hint of fear.
Regarding this, Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu with relief and regret, "Actually, I really want to tell you that he has come to the current world line."
Zhao Xu left Arthur with his front foot.
Ernest came back to Arthur on the back foot.
This looks like a plot connected in a world online.
"This is what I begged him for at the beginning. I hope he can return to the time after ten thousand years when he was truly born and existed."
"All our apostles have sworn to him that they will definitely guard their strength in secret and wait for his return."
"But Ernest refused?"
Zhao Xu asked.
How could he be so ambitious in the future
Why don't you choose a safe path
The reason why he gave up many methods before, such as becoming the Lord of the Abyss and giving up the magic empire he established, was essentially because he would leave the ancient Arthur.
After returning to the proper timeline, he will no longer be excluded by the timeline and can firmly be the king of Arthur's mountain.
Mastering the abyss is equivalent to full building. Mastering the eleventh and twelve-ring spells is equivalent to full technology. With the full set in hand, any enemy can just pass by with his eyes closed.
Not even a bit difficult.
Even the Lord of the Nine Hells is just a relic who will be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Unless all of Arthur's gods can find the legendary way to give birth to God, the King of Gods.
Otherwise, Arthur would have had half of it stuffed into Ernest's trouser pocket.
Antinoya said sadly, "Later, Teacher, although he lost his memory, the spiritual sense that came from magic allowed him to detect the key information, which made him decide to go back to the original terrifying world and find what he had lost. Memories, and to find lost things.”
ah
this
Zhao Xu almost didn't close his mouth.
When it comes to memory, if ordinary people lose their memory, that's true amnesia.
Who is Reversible
Ernest is almost synonymous with Arthur's magical equivalent. Isn't it a big problem that he can't get his memory back
If you wait until I leave this world and then come back, can you slowly piece it together by reading everyone's memories
Except for the part in the horror world that no one knows about, it really can't be found.
People like Antinoya who have known each other thousands of years ago can just exchange pleasantries when they meet.
Even Antinoya has a memory of getting along with Zhao Xu, which can be completely connected.
He even suspected that the place in front of him was Ernest's just in case.
But.
Zhao Xu sighed.
But if he accepts this imperfect plan, then he will no longer be the Ernest who once suppressed the entire Arthur and made the gods in the sky unable to raise their heads.
But the place he was going to was not even described as a dragon's pond or a tiger's den.
In a world full of unspeakable horrors, Zhao Xu was tortured just by being pulled into a dream by Nyarlathotep, who represented the existence of chaos.
wrong.
chaos.
Zhao Xu's memory was stuck at this moment.
Although each sky has its own independent "chaos", the levels of the terrifying world are even more powerful.
Each of those rumored alien gods seems to have the power to crush the most powerful god in Arthur currently.
But really compare.
Doesn't his "Chaos", Arthur's "one of the three dragons of creation", conflict with Nyarlathotep's "Chaos"
Outer God, Lux.
For a moment, Zhao Xu seemed to have connected with something again.
It can’t be that he is also the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, right
If this was really the case, he would just commit suicide on the spot to avoid being sick.
Thinking about the rumored appearance of this person who resembled a demon, Zhao Xu felt goosebumps rising.
But think about it, since Ernest wants to go back to that terrifying world and get some things back, this possibility should be unlikely.
The key to the question now is whether Ernest won the battle after traveling back to the world of horror thousands of years ago.
it is a pity.
Um
Zhao Xu suddenly had another flash of inspiration and recalled what he had witnessed when Ernest arrived, and the sigh he made at that time!
It’s a pity that I didn’t meet it in the real world!
This sentence, now that I think about it carefully, seems to represent a deep meaning. Is it a kind of helplessness
Looking at Antinoya in front of him, Zhao Xu lowered his head silently, his eyes falling on the ground without raising his head at all.
It was as if he couldn't look directly at this lovely person in front of him.
"Antinoya."
"Huh?" Antinoya tilted her head slightly and listened.
At this time, Zhao Xu called his mentor by his first name for the first time.
He believes that it will also be the beginning of everything in the future.
"I think you should know, Ernest, that besides memories, he must go back to get something else?"
In response, Antinoya smiled slightly.
"Ok, I know."
"He wants to go back, in addition to getting his memory back."
"Maybe it's the love of your life."
