068 〈Akabane〉
“————”
It's a world of nothing.
There is no direction.
No sound.
There is no gravity.
There is no heaven and earth.
Luo Zhen only felt that he was spinning in this world, as if he was being swept into a whirlpool, he couldn't control himself at all, and he couldn't even maintain his consciousness.
"It's... When the hell is this the head!? ”
Luo Zhen could only shout, but he couldn't even transmit the sound.
Such Luo Zhen didn't realize that his body was changing.
Specifically, it's getting smaller.
Obviously, this is the price to pay for crossing different worlds with the power of "miracles".
In order to be able to get enough time to practice his magic skills, Luo Zhen naturally couldn't choose those worlds where the flow of time was slower than Chaldea, otherwise if it wasn't a few days here, and Renli would be burned out, it would be just a stupid thing, not to mention aging.
Therefore, the "door" that Luo Zhen chose to open naturally leads to a time that flows faster than Chaldea, for example, in ten days in another world, and Chaldea only passes one day, so that he can achieve his goal.
This is also the only thing that Luo Zhen can do through the "miracle".
After all, "Miracle" only has the power to open the "door", and does not have the function of confirming what kind of world is on the other side of the "door", what Luo Zhen can do is to "confirm the object of opening", for example, the opened "door" is to the soul, and the "door" that Luo Zhen chooses to open now is "the world where time flows fast".
As for how fast the time flow on the other side is, whether it will make Luo Zhen directly small enough to become a fertilized egg, then Luo Zhen has no way of knowing.
In other words, it's quite a risky act.
If he didn't do this, Luo Zhen could only stay in the Chaldees, waiting for the time when the spirit son would be transferred again, and he couldn't make any effort at all.
So, this risk must be taken.
"Not to mention, it's good to open the 'door' to a world first."
Because, as long as he has traveled to the world once, then, when he opens the "door" to this world again, Luo Zhen's body will not be affected.
As long as the body adapts to the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds through one time, there will be no second change.
In the future, if Ren Lijiao really can't stop it, and Luo Zhen can only run away with Matthew and Roman, it will also need to change at least once.
Rather than that, it's better to prepare beforehand.
With such thoughts, Luo Zhen gritted his teeth and insisted, at the mercy of the cross-world passage, and his body gradually became smaller.
15 years old...
12 years old...
10 years old...
7 years old...
5 years old...
Until the age of three, Luo Zhen continued to get smaller.
If it weren't for the fact that his consciousness was about to be lost and Luo Zhen couldn't feel the changes in his body, then Luo Zhen would definitely start to worry.
In such a situation, Luo Zhen is still getting smaller.
In the end, Luo Zhen turned into a baby directly.
If this continues, Luo Zhen can really only choose to return to the state of fertilized eggs.
Fortunately, fate favored Luo Zhen.
At the moment when Luo Zhen turned into a baby, the front finally suddenly lit up, and a channel of light appeared.
Luo Zhen, who turned into a baby, went straight into it.
From this, Luo Zhen entered a whole new world.
…………
Another world.
It's a world far from Chaldea.
In terms of time, Chaldea has come to 2018 AD, which is already the era of the 21st century, and in this world, the industrial revolution seems to be still underway, in the early 20th century.
There is also "magic" in this world.
It's just that, unlike Chaldeans, there are no servants, let alone heroic spirits, but there is another kind of existence———— "puppet".
More accurately, it would be said to be an automata.
It's a kind of doll with a built-in magic loop.
In this world, the so-called magic circuit does not refer to the nerves used to generate magic, but a device similar to a magic circle, which can replace the lengthy rituals and processes of performing magic and make magic activate by direct drive.
Each of these devices is equivalent to a kind of magic, just like a magic array, there is only one purpose for different magic arrays, and the two belong to the same nature.
Of course, even if there is a magic circle, not everyone can use magic through it.
First of all, magic is an essential fuel.
Secondly, if you want to use magic through the magic array, you also need to have a full understanding of the magic and know how to use it.
The existence of puppets is to replace all these conditions, as long as someone injects magic power, they will use magic naturally and skillfully, just like using organs.
This technique, in which magicians and automatons work together to perform magic tricks with unprecedented speed and precision, is the mainstream of this world, and it is called ————Karakuri magic.
As for the magicians who use this kind of magic, they are called ———— puppet messengers.
In the far east of this world, on that remote island country, in one of the corners, a channel of light suddenly flashed without warning, like a vortex composed of light particles, constantly rotating.
A baby emerges from this passage of light and lands on the ground, obscured by a multitude of weeds.
The baby seemed to have exhausted all its strength, did not cry or make a fuss, closed its eyes tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.
And then...
"Huh?"
"What's wrong? The head of the house? ”
"Nothing, just found something interesting."
"Something interesting? Hey? Whose child is this? How could it be in such a place? ”
"I don't know, but it's not hard to guess that it will be in this kind of weed, and there is no second possibility except to be abandoned."
"That's pathetic."
“…………”
"The head of the house?"
"It's okay, let's go back."
"And this baby..."
“…… Take it back. ”
"Yes."
The voice fell, and in the grass, two men appeared together.
The two men were dressed in different ways, one was wearing a kimono and looked like a person of high status, and the other was wearing a casual dress like a guard, and at first glance it was clear that he was the former's entourage.
And beside these two men, there were several figures without exception.
Those figures are puppets.
The man of high status quietly looked at the baby lying in the grass, and after a while, he himself squatted down and picked him up.
"I'll come, my lord."
The attendant immediately stepped forward and was about to take the baby, but was stopped by a hand stretched out by a person of high status.
He continued to look at the baby, and nodded after a moment.
"It may be a kind of fate to meet here."
So said the other party.
"In that case, from today onwards, you will be the third son of my Akabane Sky Temple."
"I have two sons, one is named Akabane Tianquan, the other is called Akabane Leizhen, one is a few years older than you, and the other is just born, about the same age as you."
"So, you'll call Akabane Narugame."
In this way, Luo Zhen came to another world and got his name in this world.
