It seems that because Ji Xing said hello, the familiar figure in Hinata's eyes walked quickly, and every move made Hinata sure of the other person's identity.
And when he took off the mask, what was revealed was that gentle and beautiful face.
She is very similar to Rimuru, or should I say Rimuru is very similar to her, the only difference is her black hair and black pupils and a few scratches under her right eye.
"Hello, I am Izawa Shizue." She responded politely to Ji Xing, then looked at Hinata tenderly and asked: "Hinata, is this your friend?"
"No, he..." Hinata wanted to answer but stopped, turning her head to look at the rice fields in shock, looking for the five children, but what she saw were the candidates for the Paladin of the brigade.
They worked seriously under the supervision of the official paladins. A few of them seemed to be curious about the situation here and frequently peeked over during their work, thinking that they were pretending to be perfect, but Hinata, who had a wide field of vision, could spot it at a glance.
If it were in the past, Hinata would scold them mercilessly and give them points deductions, but at this moment Hinata was not in that mood at all.
Because she still remembers several familiar paladin candidates in the rice fields, and they should have become excellent official paladins now. This scene... is the scene from the last paladin selection?!
What happened? Is this real?
In a daze, Hinata could only be sure that this was Ji Xing's fault, so she stared at him closely: "What...have you done?!"
"You must have read the novel before coming here." Ji Xing smiled: "Do you know what an 'if line' is?"
To be honest, Hinata's life before time travel left her with no time to pay attention to novels. However, she did some research on how to prepare for her father's disappearance, and then she had some understanding.
The so-called if line refers to a special story line that is based on the main story and part of the content of the novel and is very different from the main line in terms of plot development. It usually starts from a certain time point in the main story, due to the different encounters and choices of the protagonist.
This resulted in different developments in the story.
Hinata is very smart, so she quickly understood what Ji Xing meant. He used a certain skill to take me back to the time point of the last selection, and created an if line in 'My Story' by saying hello to Teacher Jing.
?!
How is this possible? Besides, does he have some kind of mind-reading ability? Why does he know that I just regretted it because of this?!
"You...what the hell..."
This attitude made Jing think that Hinata was blaming Ji Xing for greeting her, so she shook her head slightly and said: "Hinata, you are still so stubborn. But seeing that you are living well and making good friends, the teacher is relieved.
."
She looked at Ji Xing and said, "Please be tolerant of her. Hinata is actually a very gentle child, but she is used to wrapping herself in coldness. Then... teacher, I won't disturb your work. See you next time, Hinata."
After saying this, she took off most of the mask and put it back on her face, turned around and was about to leave, but she heard a call that shocked her: "Wait, wait! Teacher!"
When she turned around, she saw a complex expression on Hinata's face that she had never seen before, and she said in a strong tone: "I'm here now... let's just talk."
Izawa Shizue was stunned for two seconds before taking off his mask again and showing a happy smile: "Yeah!"
It turns out that just because I am willing to chat with her, Teacher Jing will be so happy... Hinata murmured in her heart and glanced at Ji Xing again.
"You...want to stand here and listen?"
"It's not good to scold the cook when you're full." Ji Xing said with a smile, "Besides, do you think I wouldn't know what you were talking about if I didn't stand here?"
Hinata's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, but it only disappeared in a flash, making people think it was an illusion: "Then please avoid it for a while, okay?"
Ji Xing waved his hand and disappeared.
Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Shizue Izawa looking at her with confused eyes.
"That gentleman is..."
"Don't worry about him...well, he is also a summoner, a very strong and strange guy, but he is not very famous." Hinata hesitated.
"Is he a fellow countryman?" Jing smiled: "No wonder I can become friends with you. Hinata said he is very strong, so he is really powerful."
"He and I...are not friends yet, just friends of friends." Hinata said, "Let's not talk about him, teacher...how have you been these past few years?"
Hinata actually took the initiative to care about my situation? Jing was a little surprised, and then showed a heartfelt smile again: "The teacher is very good."
Is it good... Hinata said: "The ruler of violent flames has not appeared for a long time."
That was the name Shizue Izawa gained as an A-level adventurer, a legendary adventurer who had been active for decades, but she had retired a few years ago: "Well, because Yuuki and I took care of it.
Some kids, some...unlucky kids who weren't fully summoned, so no time.
They are all in the Free Academy of the Kingdom of Ingracia, maybe...not long ago. If you have time, Hinata can go and see them."
Hinata was silent for a moment: "They will be fine and will grow up healthy."
"Ah~" Jing said in surprise: "Hinata has even learned how to comfort people. It seems that you have really changed a lot in the past few years. This is good, this way... the teacher can really feel relieved. I hope the children
It can also be like your blessing.
The teacher has often heard rumors about you in the past few years. Saint Hinata, the right hand of God, and genius, you have indeed become a big shot. But it is hard to imagine that you would believe in 'God' because it can bring you what you want.
That kind of future?”
Hinata paused for a moment and said frankly: "God Ruminas is actually the Demon King Ruminas Valentine. After being defeated by her, I became her subordinate, but I was... willing to do so."
It's the 'if line' anyway, no matter what she says to Teacher Jing, it won't have any impact, right? After just a few exchanges, she confirmed that Teacher Jing in front of her was the real Jing, not the kind based on her own memory and impression.
Shadow.
After confirming this, she realized that her desire to share was much stronger than she thought, and she had many, many things she wanted to say to Jing.
As expected, Jing also showed a surprised expression and said: "Luminas? Demon King? Why haven't you heard of it? There is no such person among the top ten demon kings."
"That's because..."
Hinata explained slowly and listened quietly. Unknowingly, the master and apprentice were sitting on the edge of the field, opening their hearts to the fragrance of rice.
…
On the other side, Ji Xing returned to the temple.
What is working at this moment is another ability of his Ke Xue's mastery skill. Ji Xing indeed named it the 'if line'.
Or you can call it the ‘theatrical version’.
When Ji Xing fiddled with the timeline and made everyone in the area covered by the skill regard the date as August 9, 1721, the Holy Emperor's Era, not only this day was affected by the skill, but also the 'real' August 9, 1721
, that is, this day one year and ten months ago.
You must know that even in the world of Conan, where time keeps jumping, two identical dates will never appear. Although there are so many "Valentine's Day murders", each incident will change at least in the year, and it will not be completely
overlap.
There is only one situation where the overlapping of the main plot will be completely ignored, and that is the theatrical version where the story is basically independent of the main plot!
When he confused the date to August 9, 1721, the real August 9, 1721 overlapped with it, and was dominated by the Ji star, extending into a special 'if line'.
At this moment, he can consume magic elements and select someone to enter the if line in a specific way. For example, the current Hinata is loaded into the body of himself more than a year ago with his consciousness.
And this ability is more than that simple. Everything in the if line will return to its original state when Ji Xing cancels the skill, or it will be destroyed directly at that time. Therefore, any impact they cause will not change the future, which means that Ji Xing can
Here... you can do whatever you want!
"Who are you?!"
Although it was the selection day for the Holy Knights, there were still elite guards in the church temple. They soon discovered that Ji Xing, a complete stranger, had not been summoned at this time, and quickly alerted him.
"here it is……"
Bang bang——
Without listening to their explanation and warning, Ji Xing waved his arm directly, and the magical wind stuck the guard to the wall, making him unable to pull it off.
He rushed straight into the temple, and when he encountered any blockers, he knocked them away and knocked them unconscious. He swaggered all the way to the inner hall. Finally, a figure flashed in front of him, and a powerful being appeared in front of him.
Roy Valentine in disguise!
At this point in time, Roy naturally didn't recognize Ji Xing either. He stared at Ji Xing with caution and anger: "You bastard! You broke into my territory! Go to hell!"
A red beam of light shot out from his palm, as if magic power that could destroy everything was directed towards Ji Xing.
But when it was two meters away from Ji Xing's body, it was easily blocked by a magic barrier.
Just when Roy looked shocked, Ji Xing repaid evil with kindness, "buying and selling by force"!
Given to: Roy Valentine.
Granted skill: Glory of the Dead!
It is the passive skill of Thane, the undead war god in the alliance!
Buzz - In the strange fluctuations, Roy received the skill information: after being killed, you will encourage yourself to stand up, but your health will quickly lose. During this period...
What the hell? After being killed? Will I stand up? Can I stand up even if I am dead?!
Roy was stunned for a moment before a cold light flashed across his face.
The sharp pain in his throat made him subconsciously swing his arms to attack Ji Xing in front of him, but he only hit the afterimage. Ji Xing had already returned to the opposite side of him.
The splashing blood and the passing power made him angrily cover the wound on his neck, but he could not cover up the erosion of a powerful energy. Obviously the wound was not deep enough to take away the life of this devil king, but he was in a short time.
In just three seconds, he fell to death!
Then, he opened his eyes and stood up again.
At the same time, a strong anger filled his body. He only felt that his vitality was passing by every minute. At the same time, he lost all his skills and magic power, leaving only infinite strange power that far exceeded his life! Wait -
—While alive?!
By the way, I'm dead!
But I'm...alive again?!
"Woohoo!!"
He couldn't speak, he could only roar.
The figure that seemed to grow larger rushed towards Ji Xing, waving its fists wildly.
Ji Xing sheathed his sword and blocked one by one. The corridor of the temple was quickly shattered and collapsed by the violent power of both sides. In just ten seconds, it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse, until Roy died suddenly on the spot.
Well, the life force has ended, the skills have expired, and Roy is really dead this time.
However, the income brought to Ji Xing in just ten seconds is comparable to the income brought by all the people who bought his skills in half a day in his normal state!
As early as when Shyvana faced off against the Burning Flame Dragon, it was verified that the existence of the Demon King level, and the full use of Ji Xing's skills in a life and death battle will bring extremely huge rewards to Ji Xing!
"It's really good."
Looking down at Roy, Ji Xing dispersed the nuclear magic shot by Roy's twin brother Rey with a backhand knife. The corridor leading to the inner hall finally collapsed, revealing the beautiful scenery of the spiritual peak outside.
Lei Yi naturally would not be buried under such a degree of destruction, and he did not seem to be sad about his brother's death. He only stared at Ji Xing solemnly and asked: "Who are you? A brave man?"
"Hey."
The second round of forced buying and selling!
Granted to: Rey Valentine.
Granted skill: cell division!
This time it’s Biomancer Zac’s passive!
So in the strange fluctuations, Rey also received Ji Xing's skill information: Every time your magic hits an enemy, a small piece of mucus will splash out. If you absorb this mucus, you will recover a certain amount of physical strength. When you die in battle
, you will split into four pieces of cell tissue...
What the hell is this?!
Even with a more stable character, Rey was in chaos at this moment, so Roy's experience repeated itself, and his throat was slit by Ji Xing's sword!
It's not that I don't have a long memory, it's that I really can't react. The sword speed is too fast.
The dead body of Rey split into four pieces with a snap and slowly gathered in the middle. During this period, his consciousness was even clear, so he understood the information just now, but he was even more shocked: "What on earth...are you?"
people?!"
After being resurrected, he did not attack, but asked in a heavy tone, and the answer was still a sword.
"Why don't you cooperate?"
The skill was 'cooling down', so Rey actually died, and the benefits brought by it were only about one-fifth of Roy's, but...it wasn't bad.
Because experience can be gained repeatedly!
"It's really annoying. There are weird guys coming to trouble me." In a cold and arrogant voice, Luminas finally appeared at this point in time. She raised her head slightly and said: "You two still want to
When will you sleep?!"
As she asked, Roy and Rey, who had become corpses, trembled, regained their vitality, and slowly got up. This time it was not Ji Xing's skill, but Luminas's role as the ancestor of vampires.
authority!
Vampires who die within her sight can be resurrected with the infusion of her power!
"Lord Luminas, please be careful, this human being... is very weird!"
Rey reminded, while Roy gathered his strength with a sullen face. The two of them still had Ji Xing's "Sell" skill, and because they died and were resurrected, the cooldown of both skills was terminated!
The three demon kings surrounded Ji Xing in a "pin" shape. Ji Xing smiled and flashed.
With the blessing of the Dragon Slayer King, the speed of movement even exceeded the eyesight of ordinary demon kings, and only Luminas could react.
But the magic she pushed out with her backhand was in vain, and then she felt a light tap on her shoulder, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
'This guy... is too fast!'
Just when she was preparing for defense, thinking that she would receive a heavy blow, Ji Xing's palm was only lightly touched, and at the same time, a skill message also penetrated into Luminas' head.
Different from the other two, Ruminas has a much greater amount of magic, and 'forcible selling' requires physical contact, and the skill Ji Xing chose to give her is also very special - mana accumulation.
This is the only passive of the equipment 'Tear of the Goddess' in League of Legends! After Ji Xing's magic modification and maximizing its effectiveness, it became what it is now: every time you use magic, your maximum magic value will increase by 10,000 points.
Up to one million more.
This has been a huge improvement for Luminas, who originally had only around 4 million magic points!
After reading the information about the skills, Luminas finally understood why the 'two idiots' were stunned in the battle just now, and why they entered a strange state after death. Who else was not stunned?
She was also stunned, but this time Roy and Rey would not be stunned. They were desperate and rushed towards Ji Xing crazily, fighting with Ji Xing, and in just three seconds, they were double killed by Ji Xing!
The undead war god rises again.
Si Tuo Xiang also appeared again.
With satisfactory skill gains, Ji Xing dealt with Roy's body while still looking at the surprised Luminas.
The ‘perpetual motion combination’ is assembled!
Give it half a year of experience first!
…
At the same time, Hinata had just finished telling Jing all her experiences after being separated from him, and there was a little silence between the two.
"There are also good people among the devils."
A few seconds later, Jing Qing murmured with emotion: "Although absolute average and equality are not necessarily a good thing, in such a world, the Holy Kingdom of France is really a pure land on earth."
"I also have such doubts." Hinata nodded: "Compared with the Kingdom of Ingracia, the people here always have gentle smiles, lack the sense of competition, and have no personal characteristics... But just like what you said, teacher, we
There is no way or ability to ask for more.”
After a pause, she looked at Jing's face and added: "Maybe there will be someone in the future, or the devil will be able to do better."
Rimuru, is that okay?
Jing was only surprised by another point: "Hinata, have you been to the Kingdom of Ingrassia?"
"Yeah." Hinata admitted, in the future, while sniping Rimuru, and then changed the subject: "What about you, teacher. You haven't answered my question yet. Are you... okay during this time?"
"Me? I'm fine...it's just those children that worry me. I hope they can see a turn for the better as you said, Hinata..."
"Teacher, you are very good at lying."
He paused for a moment, blinking in annoyance.
Hinata shook her head slightly, thinking back now, "back then" the teacher did not come to me to meet me, but looked at me from a distance and then left, probably because he was afraid that I would see the clues.
"Can't you suppress the spirit in your body?" Hinata continued.
It has been more than 70 years since Jing was summoned to this world. Although she looks like a 16-year-old girl, she is actually over 90 years old.
Humans who are not brave and do not have specific skills cannot stay young forever. The reason why Jing has her current appearance is because a violent fire elf, Ifrit, was fused into her body.
That is the masterpiece of Demon King Leon.
Izawa Shizue was the last "half-finished product" summoned by the Demon King Leon when he was chasing his childhood sweetheart Chloe. At the age of eight, she faced the same situation as the children she takes care of now.
The Ifrit integrated into her body allowed her to survive until now.
But success is Ifrit and failure is Ifrit. Jing cannot control it. Because of it, he will lose control and do things he doesn't want to do. He can only seal it and restrict it with the anti-magic mask, which will last for decades.
The ground suppresses Ifrit's magic power.
"In about two months, the spirit in Teacher Jing's body will be out of control."
Jingyi, who was silent at first, smiled: "Hinata can even deduce the time? But the teacher thinks that he can still persist for at least one year. I will think of a way, don't worry."
No, you can't.
In two months you will go to the Demonic Federation, where you will lose control. Ifrit in your body will be swallowed by Rimuru, and without the elf, you will grow old quickly, and eventually leave everything to that one.
Slime, swallowed by her.
Hinata is a little disappointed, change it?
No, this is just the so-called if line world shaped by Ji Xing's skills. That is self-deception.
What's more, isn't that a relief for Teacher Jing? She can see that there are more things hidden under Jing's always gentle and smiling face, and Teacher Jing is not that happy.
"Teacher, you know my past, but I don't know you very well." Hinata said, "Can you tell me more?"
Jing was startled and smiled: "It's rare that you are willing to understand. I am very willing to share it with you."
The memory of her childhood has been blurred. Jing only remembers a fire and a war. The flying bombers made the world a disaster. Her mother dragged her to run away in the flames, and was eventually swallowed by the flames. Only she, on her deathbed,
Summoned to this world by Demon King Leon.
Later, she fused with Ifrit and lived in Leon's castle. She was deeply influenced by Ifrit when she was young, because the monster adopted by her childhood playmate showed hostility to Leon. Ifrit
It took over her body and burned her best friend to ashes.
"At that time, I was really in pain. I wanted to commit suicide, but was always stopped by Demon King Leon. Until one time, the brave man came to the door, and Leon cut me off when he was escaping. I thought my life could finally end.
, in the end, the brave man did not kill me and took me in.
The next few years were probably my happiest time, until one day, Chronoa, the brave man, suddenly disappeared. Then you will know, using the mask left by the brave man, I suppressed Yi
Fleet became an adventurer and a ruler of explosive flames."
Jing shook her head and said: "Actually, I don't hate Demon King Leon, and I don't blame the hero for leaving without saying goodbye. I just... have some wishes. Since I told you, Hinata should help the teacher if she has the chance.
Help me find that brave man, and help me ask Leon, to him, what am I, a tool? Or... a person?"
If Hinata knew about the time and space cycle brought about by Chloe, she would know that the brave man who adopted Teacher Jing was herself who took over Chronoa's body, and the reason why she left without saying goodbye was because she came to this world and was taken over again.
Jingsuo helps.
Fate has connected them into a circle.
"The strongest hero, Chronoa?" Hinata knew that Teacher Jing should have entrusted all this to Rimuru, but that was not important. No matter what the situation was, she was entrusted with it this time.
"I will pay attention. And Demon King Leon, I will ask you clearly."
"...be careful."
"I will."
Hinata agreed, paused for a few seconds and then said: "It turns out that Teacher Jing also had an unfortunate past, and even thought about ending his own life..."
"Maybe Hinata, you are right, the teacher is too weak." Jing smiled: "The idea of ending one's own life is the most cowardly. Only by living can you have a future and realize your wishes.
Just like today, if the teacher fails to have an honest chat with you, he will definitely die with regrets and worries about you, right? You are finally not so cold anymore, Hinata."
Hinata's eyes suddenly turned red for no apparent reason. She paused for a few seconds before she calmed down and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Jing looked surprised: "You actually apologized? Are you really Hinata? The teacher is not dreaming, right? Hahaha..."
She was joking, but Hinata's heart became more complicated: "Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you again? So~" Jing drawled: "Hinata, you kind of scared the teacher, so what happened?"
Hinata smiled at her: "I was just thinking about something. I always thought you were weak, teacher, but maybe I am the one who is really weak. I am trapped in my dissatisfaction with the world and my sorrow in my own life. If it weren't for
Some people are tolerant enough to me, and they may have made a big mistake, or paid the price with their lives."
A powerful wave of power rose within her body, and Jing's surprise was replaced by shock.
"Is this...the egg of the brave?"
This means that Hinata has awakened the qualifications of a hero. As long as he finds Ramiris, passes the trial of the light elf or the dark elf, and signs a contract, he can become a true hero! Compared to the Demon King Saint, he is even rarer.
Brave, every brave man can bring changes to the world!
This also means that Hinata's "thinking" is not just words, but facts.
After a brief absence, Jing was surprised and worried at the same time: "The fate of the brave is destined to be entangled with the devil. That Luminas..."
"Luminas-sama won't care." Hinata shook her head and said, and the demon king whose fate is entangled with me may not be Luminas-sama.
…
'Hinata hasn't noticed yet?!'
The panting Luminas was very concerned about Hinata. She had resurrected brothers Roy and Rey more than 100 times. Even with the passive skill of Tears of the Goddess, she was almost reaching her limit.
'Where did this human being who is as strong as Qi Yi come from and what is he going to do?! He actually played tricks on me, I will cut him into pieces and drain his blood!'
So the battle continued.
In the field, the master and apprentice opened their hearts, and in the temple, Luminas was so tired that she almost cried.
Ji Xing, who was mastering his skills, said sorry to Luminas in this timeline in his heart.
