Although this play is only a fantasy, the story itself is not fiction.

In other words, Alex is really human.

Although Granny Nails doesn't know who Alex in the story is, she has a premonition in her heart that even if Alex and "him" are not the same person, there must be some kind of connection.

"Can that tell me where the story takes place, and where is the main character, Alex, where is he now?" Granny Nails' voice was very slight, and although she couldn't hear any big emotional fluctuations, Angel could hear a hint of urgency and caution in her inquiry.

In the eyes of the nail mother-in-law, Angel shook his head: "I don't know either. ”

This answer made it difficult for Granny Nails to hide her disappointment: "Then why did you know this story, and how do you confirm that he is real?"

Angel quietly stared at Granny Nails.

In Angel's mind, Granny Nails is a calm, powerful, and mysterious witch with a lot of fog on her body.

He had never seen so many mood shifts in Granny Nails.

This made Ingres more and more curious, and he replied after thinking, "Before I answer these questions, can I know why my mother-in-law cares so much about Alex?"

After a pause, Angel whispered, "Mother-in-law knows him?"

Granny Nails fell silent, as if wondering whether to tell Angel or not. When the second hand ticked three times in the shape of a castle-shaped mechanical table clock not far away, she broke the stagnant air.

However, the first words spoken by Granny Nails had nothing to do with Angels' inquiry.

"Vife must have promised to trade with you, right?"

Angel was stunned for a moment before he realized that Granny Nails was referring to the lucky scroll in Vifit's hand.

Angel nodded: "Sort of, why did my mother-in-law mention this?"

Granny Nails: "Do you remember when you asked me about the Lucky Scroll, I told you about it?"

Angel did ask Granny Nails about the Lucky Scroll at the beginning, and Granny Nails showed a solemn expression for the first time, and warned him very solemnly.

"Remember, you told me that luck is not really lucky, but just a combination of choices that may be bad and collapses infinitely. Of the remaining options, even those that seem to be positive opportunities are not necessarily suitable, and the bad choices that are discarded are not necessarily inappropriate. After all, good and bad cannot be generalized, but a chain reaction. ”

Granny Nails lowered her eyebrows and whispered: "There is one more important sentence." ”

Anglel paused and said the sentence: "Especially, it is used in mystical alchemy. ”

This is what Granny Nails warned Ingres, telling him not to apply the Scroll of Luck to alchemy, especially mystical alchemy.

At that time, Angel was a little suspicious, was it because something happened that Granny Nails gave such a solemn warning?

It's a pity that the nail mother-in-law didn't explain it at that time, but just gave such a conclusion.

Granny Nail: "The reason why I mention the Lucky Scroll is precisely because when the Lucky Scroll appeared, it was the beginning of his disaster. ”

Angel catches that Granny Nails mentions a "he".

This "he", could it be Alex?

Granny Nails sighed and continued, "Now that you have become an official wizard and joined the R&D Institute, you are qualified to know about this matter. ”

"It happened more than a thousand years ago—"

Granny Nails' eyes were in a trance, as if she had returned to that time when she dreamed back at midnight, which was always seen repeatedly, both familiar and distant.

As Granny Nails spoke, Ingres's expression changed from surprise at first, to strangeness, and finally to contemplation.

In the story of the nail mother-in-law, in addition to herself, there is also a man.

Although Granny Nails did not elaborate, Ingres could tell from her gentle tone that this gentleman had a great relationship with Granny Nails, perhaps the closest friend, or a further lover.

This man, like Granny Nails, is an alchemist, and his talent is not only extremely strong, but his alchemy skills have almost reached the peak, and he can be said to be the strongest alchemist in the R&D Institute at that time.

When a profession reaches its peak, there is bound to be a higher pursuit. He is the same, he wants to break through his alchemy technique and pursue a higher realm - mystery.

But in the realm of mystery, there is no shortcut, and there is no direct door.

After years of research, he has some ideas, but because of bad luck, he is always mysteriously rejected. If he continues to follow this path, he may not be able to achieve what he wants in the future, but perhaps it is the arbitrariness of his youth and the eagerness to rush for success that makes him a little impatient with the status quo, and finally he decides to take the sword side of the road and find another way.

So, he thought of one thing - the Lucky Scroll.

He listed a refining plan with the help of the Lucky Scroll, and after repeated verification, the probability of success in the end was extremely high.

After making a plan, he excitedly shared the news with Granny Nails, and invited Granny Nails to be his alchemy assistant to assist him in refining mysterious things.

At that time, the nail mother-in-law was still young and did not think too comprehensively. Hearing his description of the bright prospects, coupled with his repeated assurances that the final result would be correct, she was persuaded and agreed to assist him in refining.

The final result, in fact, was as he expected, and it really worked.

However, as Granny Nails had warned Ingres before, sometimes success isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when it comes to refining mystical things.

Although success is successful, but at the moment of success, a nightmare comes. This mysterious thing that has been refined is obviously different from other mysterious things, and as soon as it is born, it begins to erode the world around it, changing the rules, ignoring the rules, and creating the rules.

Almost immediately, the surrounding space showed signs of crumbling.

The law collapses, everything withers, and life is forever!

At that time, he couldn't believe that he had succeeded at all, but why such a strange change had occurred. At this most critical moment, he exhausted all his abilities and sent Granny Nails out of this shattered world.

He himself fell into the closed space, and fell into endless destruction.

This is the story told by Granny Nails, and it is also the reason why she learned that Angel was looking for the Mysterious Scroll and warned Ingres.

The reason why Ingres was surprised was because of the shock that the story brought him.

But later, his expression changed from surprise to strangeness, because after Granny Nails finished telling the story, she finally revealed the mystery.

In the story, the man who has a close relationship with her is called-

Ivo Sprett.

For Ingres, Ivo Sprett is not an unfamiliar name, and every time he goes to the Fantasy Machine City of the R&D Institute, he sees an empty display case.

This display box is said to be a mysterious object on display. It's a pity that the mysterious thing has disappeared, and only a display box can be built to promote it, and someone in the R&D Institute has refined the mysterious thing.

This mysterious object is tentatively named the Reincarnation Box, and the person who refined the Reincarnation Box is none other than Ivo Spreitt.

Because of the tentative name of "Reincarnation Box", judging from the name, it is too similar to the "Reincarnation Box of the Undead" told by Frost. That's why Ingres has always been curious about it.

The last time he went to Fantasy Machine City, Angel also asked the Waterstreaked Witch to tell him the story about the Reincarnation Box and the refiner Ivo, but unfortunately the Waterstreaked Witch didn't know much, but she suggested that Ingres ask the "parties".

And the person in her mouth is talking about the nail mother-in-law.

Angel was going to find an opportunity to ask Granny Nails about this, but she didn't expect that by accident, Granny Nails told the story first.
