if-01 Luke opened his eyes and saw a familiar room. It was a simple and plain room with hollowed-out carved windows and a few pots of flowers and plants in front of the window. This was the room where he and Terela now lived, but there was no one inside. He closed his eyes and then appeared in another room filled with magic books and magic devices. Luke's face here is filled with anxiety. He frowns, and big drops of sweat seep and drip from his face. He keeps writing various formulas on the draft paper, turning them into various abstract and bizarre sketches, trying to understand the time. , the status is obviously wrong. "Wait for me, Terela, I'm almost done with it, wait for me, wait for me." "You should say goodbye to me properly at this time..." Terela, who was lying on the bed next to her, was older and more decayed than now. Her face was as gray as the end of the living, and she looked at Luke with a complaining and conniving look. But her husband, who was caught in an extreme situation, did not hear her words at all. Slowly, she closed her eyes and quietly lost her life.
Next to him, Luke was still making various attempts and efforts. Because he was focusing all his attention on research, he didn't even notice Terela's death and was still mumbling. "It'll be quick, don't worry, it'll be quick!" After glancing at the manuscript paper, Luke shook his head. He was on the wrong track in this world. "Not this future." … if-146 On a summer night, the refreshing cool breeze blew their bodies. Luke hugged the old Terela tightly, and the two of them sat cuddled on the grass. Countless flowers bloomed around them, and they were so colorful that they were eye-catchingly beautiful. In the sky, countless meteors fell like silver ribbons, as if it was raining from the stars in the sky, and as if the painter of the universe was swaying silvery colors on the dark canvas. "This scene is so familiar." Terela half-closed her eyes, her face full of nostalgia, and said softly, "Fifty years have passed since then." The same meteor shower of half a century, the same magic in the flower field, and the same Luke by his side. The only difference is that his life is constantly passing by. "Did I take good care of you?" Luke kissed Terela's old face gently, "You dedicated your life to me, but you only got a tiny bit of time in my life." "The life of a human is different from the life of an elf. You have done a good job." Telela tried her best to open her eyes. "Do you still remember what you said back then? You asked me what you would do if I died?" "Now I can give you the answer." Terela looked at Luke with nostalgia and showed a relieved smile: "Let's start a new life. Meet new people and have new friends. If you want, it's no problem to find a new partner." Luke smiled, "Aren't you jealous?"
"You won't be jealous after you die." Terela's voice was extremely weak, as if all her strength was exhausted after saying this sentence. "It's hard to say. Flamel's manuscript mentioned that souls do exist in the area where Lord Oed's city is located in the far north." Terela didn't answer. "The last trip has not been completed yet. I actually want to take you on a good trip. The northern countries have been recovered. We can choose a spring season to go there and leave a mark on every city along the way." The man in his arms still didn't respond. So Luke also fell silent. After dawn, Lu Ke placed his lover who was gradually losing warmth on the flower field, touched the mirror lotus ring in his hand, and spoke calmly while watching the sun gradually rising from the horizon. "Having a partner is enough." This time Terela left with a smile and a little bit of reluctance, and Luke chose to accompany her on the last journey, just like he accompanied Amir. "Is this enough?" Luke, who had been staring intently for a long time, retracted his gaze and turned to leave the branch. He would not approve of such an ending. With countless branches, there is always a way out. He wanted to observe again, again, and again. … if-2077 "I know you're watching." "Inversely deducing the future observation magic and constantly deducing the future. If there are countless possible futures, then my behavior now is not crazy." This Luke's eyes were calm and his reasoning was clear. He clearly listed out the relevant research related to his research bit by bit, explaining every detail clearly, and let out a sigh after finishing the explanation. "I don't know if this is a useless effort, and I don't know if it's all imagination, but I'm still willing to try." "This is all my achievements in the past hundred years. There is not much progress, but I hope it can help you." He chuckled and stretched out his hand to the air, "No matter which time and space, no matter which world, no matter whether this is a fantasy or not, Luke will always believe in Luke, and Luke will always help Luke." "Even if it's just a remote possibility, am I right?" Luke, who could not be seen, stretched out his hand silently, shook hands with Luke this time in the void, wrote down this knowledge, and bowed slightly. Then, he slowly exited this branch. … if-9304
"I believe in the goddess and understand the entire holy book." "The iron law of this world is that life span cannot be changed. No matter what you try, the result is destined." Luke, who was wearing a gorgeous magic robe, walked to the cemetery. He placed a bouquet of star flowers in front of Terela's tomb, and then took off the ring in his hand and placed it on the tombstone. His body became much more relaxed. Luke returned to their residence and looked at the two exquisite statues. After looking at them for a while, he gently raised his hand. The torrent of magic shattered the sculpture that had been promised to stay at the end of time. He looked at the sky speechlessly, as if breaking his own shackles, and turned around to leave. "It's time to start a new journey." Watching his back go away, Luke slowly shook his head. “And my journey continues.” … Countless possibilities flowed into my mind, including Luke who gave up, Luke who persisted, Luke who stagnated, and Luke who worked together to make progress. Memories flooded into his brain one after another, giving Luke a splitting headache. On the contrary, he felt that his emotions seemed to become more and more indifferent, and even the anxiety in his heart was reduced a lot. Observing the timeline from an almost divine perspective makes the spirit much tougher, while the human heart gradually becomes numb. This is a side effect that I don’t know whether to call it a side effect. Luke opened his eyes expressionlessly and waved his hand to burn the manuscript in front of him. After observing countless timelines. He learned a truth. Time is a gap, and research without an intermediate bridge will not lead to any conclusion. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years for him to develop the time magic he wanted, let alone complete it within Terela's lifetime. Years of hard work were in vain and he needed to find another outlet. Luke shifted his gaze to the shadow at the corner and spoke softly. "Come out, I know you're here." A big demon wearing a cloak slowly emerged from the shadows. He walked towards Luke, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head when the two were three to five meters apart. "Sir, what are your orders?" "Why do you have this attitude towards me?" Luke asked Shurahat coldly. Even if the demons had been stable for decades and Shurahat had given him help, the demons still couldn't be trusted. "Because you are the key to the Demon King's long-cherished wish." "What does he wish for?" Shorahat lowered his head, "He hopes that demons and humans can coexist peacefully." "It's no exaggeration to say it's a fantasy."
Luke sneered. From the future vision, he learned that the big demons who were still in the Demon King's City were obviously only restrained by the Demon King, and they were already very impatient and might rebel at any time. Shorahat did not refute, but raised his head and looked at Luke with indifferent to ruthless eyes. "Sir, do you know about the demon clan?" Luke read out the contents of the holy book step by step: "Demons are the most despised children of the goddess. They are the gathering of all the filth in the world, cold-blooded and cruel, ruthless and cunning." "You wouldn't believe this, would you?" Lu Ke's tone was cold: "Stigmatizing enemies is a very common method." A bunch of magic with a warm and bright aura appeared from Shorahat's fingertips. The child known as the most disgusted by the goddess used the monk's healing magic, which is the so-called goddess magic, although it was a bit difficult to perform. "You are right. The goddess is impartial to any race. God will only watch everything from above...that is how it should be." Shorahat stopped speaking, removed the magic in his hand, and spoke calmly. "As long as you believe in the goddess, the goddess will give you gifts, whether it is humans, elves or demons." "It's just that demons are extremely egotistical creatures. Almost all demons can't even pass the test of believing in the existence of the goddess, let alone belief in the goddess. Even I can barely use the lowest level of goddess magic." "Demons are such creatures. They have no emotions, do not understand malice, and do not understand hatred. Apart from some resistance to death, the demons do whatever they want. The same is true for the big demons including me." At this point, Shorahat stopped and gave Luke time to digest. After a while, he continued to speak: "There is only one exception among the entire demon clan, and that is the Demon King." "He is an existence that has broken through the limits of the demons. He truly possesses human emotions, complete with joy, anger, sorrow, and fear. He sincerely hopes that the war between humans and demons can end." Hearing this, Luke reacted, "The Demon King thinks I can end the war between demons and humans?" Shorahat said calmly, "You can understand it that way." "I will not speak for the demons. When I am strong enough, I will only choose to completely destroy the demons." "That's exactly what the Demon King wants to see." After finishing speaking, Shorahat stood up slowly and stepped back into the shadows step by step. "And you want to take action now, don't you? For the sake of Mahat, the Golden Land." His thoughts were seen through, and Luke's face darkened: "Your future vision is more than what I can see. What are you hiding?" "I will leave you a message when I die, and that day will come soon." The big demon disappeared into the shadows. Luke pursed his lips and turned back to the room. He looked at Terela's increasingly older appearance on the bed, and made up his mind completely, choosing a possibility that he didn't dare to see the result of. … The next day, when Terela woke up, she found herself lying on a slightly swaying carriage. Getting up from the cushion, she opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Luke as the groom. Aware of the gaze behind him, Luke turned around and smiled at her. "Wake up, let's sleep more."
The smile on the elf's face that hadn't been seen for many years made Trela slightly startled, "Where are we going?" Luke turned his head, "Let's continue the unfinished journey that year. Let's go to the northernmost part of the northern countries." Trela asked hesitantly, "Erd?" Luke nodded slightly, "Erd." The northernmost place, the Demon King's City Erd.
