Chapter 158:
For this reason, Oreos has the nickname "Antique Merchant".
But now Oreos doesn't have any spiritual equipment on his body, and he can't see any threatening objects on his body at all. Such an alchemist is no different from an undefended ordinary person.
If he really thinks so, his enemies will die miserably.
At the moment of the battle, Oreos demonstrated the skill that alchemists dream of - "instant alchemy", which is a skill that can complete the alchemy ritual in just a few seconds.
But this is just a skill, and it may be able to turn the situation around in battle, but in the systems of "magic" and "alchemy", this is just a tricky act, and there is nothing worth going further. research.
Just like a doctor, although he saved a terminally ill patient, it was a second life for the patient. However, for the entire medical community, this result is secondary. What drugs, methods, and theories do doctors use to treat patients, this process is more worthy of study.
Roman did not interfere in the battle between Stiyl and Aureos, he stepped aside and watched silently, whether Stier fell into the lower risk of being killed, or Aureos was killed by Stiyl in the end, From beginning to end, Roman was like an outsider who had nothing to do with him.
The Oreos in front of him was not the real Oreos, and the two of them had already been seen through by Stiles from the very first moment of their engagement. Although the two hate each other, as "rivals in love", as former "enemies", they know each other very well.
The false alchemist, a doll named "Aureos Isard", was finally overwhelmed by Stiyl's flames. At this time, Stiyl also suffered a lot of trauma.
PS: I accidentally wrote another chapter. Sure enough, it is better to find some original plots, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable to write.
The plot of the original book was originally intended to be omitted, but if it is omitted, readers who have not read the original book will feel confused when reading it. I will mention it roughly like this now, and I hope it will not cause trouble to everyone.
Section 268 Chapter 29 Oreos Isard and "Golden Evolution"
Flame poured into Oreos' body from his mouth, and the false doll became a living person in an instant. He didn't die immediately, because he was not a human being, just a puppet made by the real Aureos, struggling in the burning flames.
The flame of 3,000 degrees Celsius exploded violently in the puppet's body, and the puppet was torn apart in front of his eyes, all over the ground.
"The real Oreos, how could it be so easy to lose?"
Steele pulled out a cigarette and hung it in his mouth, and the cigarette flickered when he spoke, making him look less calm than the emotion on his face.
"That's why I hate fighting and killing."
The unbearable expression on Roman's face disappeared in a flash, and he turned his head slightly.
"Since you have chosen to be a magician, you should have the consciousness to go to the abyss... Hey, isn't that the reason why you hid in Academy City?"
Steele looked at Roman in amazement, as if he had suddenly discovered a big secret.
"How is that possible? Also, I'm not hiding in Academy City, I just think it will be more troublesome outside."
Although Academy City is not peaceful, compared to the complex outside world, intricate religious forces, and various magical associations, the small Academy City is like heaven. There may be occasional troubles from a few capable people, but on the surface, the calmness of Academy City is simply a breeding ground for children.
Roman looked at the torn corpse and finally shook his head.
If Stiyl wasn't here just now, would Roman kill Oreos like this?
Maybe, maybe not. Roman is not a magician, even if he is really a magician, he is by no means a qualified magician. He does not have the consciousness to say the name of magic and become a killing tool.
"Need to go separately? There are four buildings here, and we can't be sure where the real Aureos is. If the traps that hinder us are only this level, I think it will be faster to find them separately."
"no need."
Without thinking about it, Roman rejected Stile's suggestion.
"The principal's office on the top floor in the north is right here."
...
...
Oreos Isard, as Roman said, is on the top floor of the North Building.
This was originally the principal's office, but after it was occupied by him, it naturally belonged to him.
People like magicians should not expose magic, nor should they reveal their identity as magicians. Although it is true that magicians are stronger than ordinary people, it is a pity that it is no longer an era of mysterious beliefs, and magicians can only live in dark corners.
Oreos no longer cares about such trivial matters. From the moment he decided to betray his beliefs, Oreos was ready to be the enemy of the whole world, and the purpose of all this was to save that one. Sister - Index.
Being able to write all kinds of magic books, to resist the persecution of witches, to kill raging monsters, and to cure brutal beasts, these books and knowledge are all in Aureos' brain. But only in the face of Index, the girl with only one year's memory, Aureos would feel that his knowledge was so barren and how powerless he was in front of the girl.
In fact, as early as the first time he saw this girl, Aureos already knew that this girl was absolutely impossible to save. Even so, Oreos, who still did not give up, just wanted to use the name of "providing the magic book" as an excuse to visit this girl.
Such an ordinary story.
The story of an alchemist who wanted to save the girl, but was saved by the girl instead.
With that in mind, we're very close to the finish line. Oreos could no longer hold a pen. Now that he understood that he could not save even a single sentence of a girl, Aureos completely lost the purpose and confidence of holding a pen to write.
Can't save, can't save - no one can be saved this way.
Even so, if he insisted on saving the girl, the only way to go is to fall.
...
...
When Roman and Steele came to the top floor of the North Building, they already had a feeling that "the enemy is right in front of them".
Oreos Isard made no secret of his tracks, and the headmaster's room continued to transmit unusual fluctuations, as if to lure intruders.
Although at first he thought that the troops should be divided into two, but under Roman's firm footsteps, Stiyl finally followed Roman.
Looking at the open door of the principal's room, Roman, who was walking in front, stopped.
"What's wrong? Need a break? This is not a good place."
Walking here from the fifth floor just now, Roman did not stop to rest on the way, wanting Roman's poor physical fitness, Stier took it for granted that he planned to recover his physical strength before the final battle.
"My profession is a doctor, which is a profession that emerged to save people."
Roman said, this endless remark made Stiles raise his brows slightly, but he didn't interrupt, and quietly listened to him continue.
"Whether it's a man or a woman, an old man or a child, I don't even care if he is a heinous criminal or a saint who rescues him in time, as long as he shows up on my hospital bed and says to me, 'Please, please help me ' After this sentence, I have the responsibility to bring him back to life. This is my job and my responsibility."
"So far, my operation has never been missed. Although it is shameful, I did use cheating to maintain this record, but I have no regrets. Because compared with medical skills, I think saving people should not be restricted. , The gap between magic and technology should not admit the reason for not being saved. But I also have the experience of watching a patient die in front of my eyes, because I have really tried my best, that patient is a patient who cannot be saved, and I can do All I did was to relieve his pain and let him leave this world peacefully. But I didn't expect that I would meet a second such patient today."
"Stiyl, you should understand what it's like to want to save someone who can't be saved."
Stiyl certainly understands this feeling, to be precise, he experienced this kind of thing a year ago.
At that time, he was still Index's partner, and Index's most trusted friend. But in the end, Steele could only watch Index "die". It's not that he didn't work hard, but he was not good at treatment and had no research on the brain. In the end, he could only watch everything happen helplessly.
To this day, the parting image still remained in Stiyl's mind.
"--Ok!"
Steele suddenly felt a headache. That moment was so painful, so painful that Stiles felt that he would never forget it in his entire life.
However, Stiyl didn't think that this had anything to do with Roman. Instead, it was him who provoked this painful memory and made Stiles very uncomfortable. In addition, Stiyl also felt Roman's mood changes.
"Don't tell me, you plan to back off at this time."
"How is it possible? I just decided, even if the ending is doomed, I still intend to try it once."
After speaking, Roman walked into the principal's room first.
The luxurious principal's room is very spacious. It is indeed an office, but it looks more like a luxury suite. The surrounding atmosphere had an extreme emptiness, like looking at a photo that was too old and yellowed.
There were two people in the empty principal's room, facing the door of the principal's room, waiting for the intruder to arrive.
"Alchemist" Oreos Isard, "Vampire Slayer" Jishen Qiusha.
"You know what? I'm surprised that the person who came to attack me will be you. You are also the former guardian of the 'Forbidden Book Catalog'. If you fight for the 'Forbidden Book Catalog', you will meet again at this time, continuing the once tangled battle. , which is really ironic."
The alchemist, Oreos said, talking about the struggle with Stiyl in the past, but there was no emotion or nostalgia in his voice.
"Looking at your eyes, you probably know what my purpose is, right? Isn't your rune magic also there for her? Isn't your rune magic also there to save the forbidden book catalog?"
"If you're doing it for the 'banned book catalog', I think you'll be wasting your time. Also, although I want to stop you, before that, someone wants to tell you something."
Steele looked at Roman, he must have something to say to Aureos, and it would be better for him to tell him about Index.
"First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Romani Archiman, the guardian of the 'Forbidden Book List'."
With a simple sentence, a subtle emotion finally appeared on Aureos' numb face. Although it was bland and brief, several people present could still see it.
That is a look that kills quickly and replaces it.
——What a sinful sin, Index.
"If that's the case, you should know about Index's brain..."
"already solved."
"What, what?"
"Index's memory problem has been resolved, she doesn't need to suffer from the pain of having to clear her memory every year, and can live as an ordinary person. This is Index now."
"That's right, you've worked hard. I heard that you betrayed the Roman Orthodox Church and hid in the ground for three years? It seems that everything was in vain. Well, I can understand the pain of not being able to pay for this kind of hard work. However, now this child is living a happy life with his 'mate' as you would expect."
Steele glanced at Roman, then nodded to Aureos, confirming that Roman's words were true.
"—Ha..." However, this truth is not a fact that anyone can accept.
A decisive word.
Everything that originally supported Oreos Isard collapsed. He started laughing wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Roman could understand how Aureos felt at this moment. Let him betray his beliefs and live a life like a mouse for three years. The reason for his survival is to let Index no longer suffer from being wiped out of her memory every year and living the pain of life and death again and again.
However, when he is about to succeed, when he is only the last step away from success, he finds that he who is about to succeed has been preempted. Oreos' persistence and hard work in the past three years turned out to be in vain.
Obviously it is the best result. Even if the three years of hard work were in vain, the final goal was achieved, but it was the cruelest fact for Aureos, because he gave up all his efforts and did not get a trace of return in the end.
How cruel is this.
"Why aren't you happy about it?"
Roman looked at Aureos calmly, and he was still persuading Aureos, even though these words sounded more like slander.
"The deadline for Index's memory to be cleared was just last month, but she was not cleared of memory in the end, and she can still live happily. Even if you don't succeed, Index is living as you dreamed. Live a carefree life. Is your heroism more important than Index?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly
Oreos roared loudly, he couldn't accept that Index was able to live unharmed, but Roman's words also reached his ears, and Index's happiness was more important than his life. But precisely because of this, this conflict and contradiction made him even more uncomfortable.
Aureos' face became extremely hideous, his expression changed constantly, and his whole body trembled.
Then--
"Go, die, die, die, die, die, die, die!"
The invisible power spreads around with Oreos as the center, and the people present felt this ferocious curse, it was pure hatred. Vent and anger for no reason, no one, no reason, but indiscriminate resentment like crazy.
Unprepared, the girl behind Oreos and Steele behind Roman were affected. The two stopped abruptly like a power outage robot and a short-circuited circuit board, without warning from the standing The posture fell.
Their faces still kept the same expressions, surprise, and vigilance, and then they died.
The heartbeat has disappeared, breathing has stopped, and every cell in the body has lost its vitality. The process of human death is completely cut out, and it is completely dead in one step.
But there are still people who have not been affected in any way. In the principal's room, in addition to Aureos, the caster, there was Roman standing in front of him. Aureos' curse didn't hurt him at all.
Roman's face was very calm, he was not surprised by Stiyl and Jishen Qiusha, nor was he saddened by their deaths, everything seemed to be expected.
Chapter 269 Chapter 30 The Alchemist's Failure
After venting violently, Oreos finally calmed down. But when he calmed down, not only did his face not regain its original calm and numbness, but his gaze towards Roman was full of murderous intent.
Roman ruined his three years of hard work, ruined his dream of becoming a hero to save Index, and this was the only thing he couldn't accept.
Roman looked at Aureos quietly, his face was very calm, there was neither smile nor anger, but looked at him plainly. But even if he didn't do anything, Oreos could still feel unreasonable confidence in him.
——But, I am the strongest.
Oreos thought so in his heart, and then he took out a thin needle from his bosom, which is very common, the kind of thin needle used for medical acupuncture.
"The 'Golden Evolution' is an alchemy that changes reality with the phenomenon of the mind, but to change reality requires not only magic, but also the law against reality, that is, the law of change."
Aureos was very surprised by Roman's words. He stopped the movements of his hands and looked at Roman, with a bad premonition entangled in his heart.
"If you want to fight against the laws of reality, you must use the same laws to change. There can be no errors in this process, so the simulation of the brain does not allow any distractions. But the human brain is very complex, and it is difficult to be simple To think about something, so you have to use pain to stimulate yourself and let the world in your brain change reality.”
"How did you know?"
Oreos looked at Roman in horror. He didn't expect Roman to break the main point of the "Golden Evolution Technique" in one sentence, and he didn't expect that he could actually see through his own approach to overcoming the shortcomings of the "Golden Evolution Technique".
