Chapter 131 The Necromancer’s experimental field, the Tomb of Zomlit!
Deya quickly flipped through the "Gospel of the Future" in his hand.

"The Gospel of the Future" is just a thin volume that looks like the exercise book you used to do homework in elementary school.

But no matter how hard Deya turned the pages, he could never finish turning them. Deya didn't know how many pages it actually had. Maybe it was infinite.

After reading more than a hundred pages, Deya closed "The Gospel of the Future".

Mavis asked with a smile: "What did you see?"

Deya shook his head blankly: "I don't see anything. There is just a blank piece of paper in here."

"Blank paper?"

Mavis seemed to be thinking about something. She narrowed her emerald eyes and whispered, "...The Future Gospel is actually a blank sheet of paper. People will not see any written records on it.

"The Gospel of the Future" records a possible future, which will appear in the mind of the person who views it in a special picture-like form.

You really didn't have any images flash through your mind?"

Deya affirmed: "I didn't see anything. It was like I was flipping through a blank book."

Mavis raised her silver-white eyebrows and smiled, "Then do you know what the other me saw?"

"Appreciate further details."

"She saw you bringing endless armies of the undead, bringing great disaster to this land. You turned into a natural disaster, destroying all living things on this land, transforming them all into undead creatures.

Even we, the elves, have become the dead souls under your command, serving you in the form of the dead."

Deya thought of the hostility of the slightly impatient Mavis towards him: "So that's why she wants to kill me?"

Mavis nodded slightly: "I am a 'superfluous person' created by the power of the witch. Although my body is an elf, I don't have any awareness of being a high elf.

But she is different. The High Elves are a relatively united race. She saw the disaster you brought to the High Elves, so she wants to kill you.

Especially during the 'Day of the Stars', she saw how the true Scourge of the Undead destroyed the Church of the Dawn."

It turned out to be the case.

Deya finally understood the reason why Mavis was hostile to him.

"But you just said that The Gospel of the Future only describes a possible future. Does that mean that the future may change?"

Deya said after thinking for a moment.

Predicting the future is not a particularly incredible ability in this world.

High-level divination wizards all have similar abilities.

The more powerful the wizard of the school of prophecy, the more likely he is to predict events that will happen in the distant future, thus seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster.

Mavis said softly: “Mr. Deya, as a mage, even if he is from the School of Necromancy, he must have read some books from the School of Prophecy.

In the theory of the prophecy school, the future is indeed unpredictable, and the powerful mages of the prophecy school cannot accurately predict the inevitable future.

Instead, they used their own power to choose one of them from the foreseeable future.

But if there is an external influence, this future will still change.”

After a pause, she continued: "...But The Gospel of the Future has a huge side effect, that is, the future you predicted with The Gospel of the Future will definitely happen.

Therefore, even if many people get the "Gospel of the Future", they are unwilling to read this book of prophecy.

As long as you don't look at it, your future will have infinite possibilities, but as long as you look at it, if what happens in the future is good, people will of course be happy.

But if it’s a bad thing, no matter how hard you try you can’t change that future, and that’s just too painful.”

Deya nodded heavily. He understood the horror of this "forbidden object".

This is just like fortune-telling in the previous life. Many people are unwilling to tell fortunes because they are afraid of getting a bad fortune, which will make them uneasy and give rise to all kinds of thoughts.

But after all, fortune-telling about past lives is metaphysics, it is not necessarily true, and you can still not believe it.

And this "forbidden wonder" will inevitably make the fortune-telling result happen.

Thinking of this, Deya suddenly raised his head and looked at Mavis, angrily saying: "No, then why are you showing me this 'forbidden wonder'?"

He looked shocked, angry, and even frightened.

Because Deya also doesn't want his future to be determined. Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, he hopes to accomplish it by himself rather than being determined by a prophecy!
If he really saw the tragic scene in "The Gospel of the Future", wouldn't it mean that everything is irreversible?

“Don’t be angry, Mr. Deya, I actually guessed that you would not be affected by The Gospel of the Future, so I let you watch it.

Do you remember the first time we met at World Remembrance? I said at that time that my future had changed.

Before that, I had read "The Gospel of Future Past", but "The Gospel of Future Past" did not tell me that I would participate in a world recollection during that time.

In my planned future, I should have been trying to escape the witch cult's pursuit during that period of time, instead of joining a world remembrance.

The first time I saw you in the World Remembrance, I guessed that you were the one who started the remembrance. Your acting could fool the participants, but not me.

This is why you were wondering why I was so kind to you. "

Mavis hurriedly explained, fearing that Deya would distrust her.

Deya said calmly: "So you suspect that the changes in the future are related to me? You think I have some special abilities, so you show kindness to me."

Mavis spread her hands and said in a very free and easy manner: "This is one of the reasons. The Gospel of the Future is the holy relic of the Church of Destiny.

The power of the Church of Destiny is just as its name suggests. The reason why I have never been able to gain freedom is because my destiny is too deeply intertwined with them and is anchored by them.

Therefore, I have found in you a possible way to resolve this fate, and naturally I must seize the opportunity.

This is one reason. The second reason is that your teacher is Master Irving. If I have a good relationship with you, maybe I can also have a good relationship with the master.

Master Irwin also knows many powerful people. I can also expand my social circle through Master Irwin and change my destiny in another way."

Deya looked at her steadily.

Another way is, as long as I have a lot of awesome friends, no one will dare to do anything to me, right?

It turns out that the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom!

"You speak the truth, not at all."

“Sincerity is the best strategy.”

"Well, you are right. Sincerity is indeed the most terrible thing."

At this time, many years flashed through Deya's mind as he thought carefully.

Previously in the Dawn Church, he had a general and incredible guess from Kirkadi II, that he had changed the past.

So is this why my destiny cannot be anchored?

According to the theory of the prophecy school, the root of foreknowledge of the future lies in the analysis of past intelligence, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of "Laplace's demon".

The past is immutable, and this is the fundamental reason why the future can be predicted.

But if you can really change the past and make the past a 'variable' instead of a constant, then your future will be impossible to analyze.

But Deya's biggest doubt is, if his analysis is correct, then where is the source of his power to change the past?
Is it really because of the so-called "time travelers"?

Deya looked at the seductive and charming female elf in front of him, who made him feel a little overwhelmed even now. His fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the chair.

It’s not that Deya can’t control his lust, but this is an instinctive reaction of his body. Although he is strong, he is still unable to control the secretion of hormones in his body.

Deja was able to overcome the strange charm of this woman with his willpower, but his body said he couldn't overcome it.

Damn, this is what you learn from the 'School of Enchantment'!

"So, Mavis, Lord of the White Tower, what exactly are you planning?"

Deya was asking about the 'Lord of the White Tower', not the other young elven girl.

"Let me stay by your side. I have also studied the school of prophecy, and I can confirm that you do have the ability to influence fate.

Staying by your side will make my fate uncertain and unpredictable, which will allow me to cut off my connection with the Destiny Church."

Mavis told her plan.

"Even if I don't agree, I can't refuse with your power."

Deya said slowly.

"I still hope to get your consent. There is always a difference between taking the initiative and being threatened. Rather than letting you always be dissatisfied and hostile to me, I hope that we can trust each other."

Mavis chuckled and said, "...I am very optimistic about your future. You can understand that I, the Lord of the White Tower, am investing in you in advance.

If my problems can be solved, and I can once again reach a balance with my other self, you will gain the friendship of a master of the White Tower, a wizard of the Eighth Ring of the School of Enchantment."

Deya was thinking about the pros and cons.

It seemed that he didn't pay anything, but as long as he agreed to let this high elf stay with him, he would have made a profit.

But in fact, behind the scenes, he actually had a powerful enemy - the Church of Destiny!
As for the Witch Cult, it doesn't matter. The Witch Cult had already offended them a long time ago and they are already enemies, so the Witch Cult can actually not care.

The elf was also dishonest, saying that as long as she solved her own problems and restored the balance of the 'Twin Witches', it would be equivalent to getting the help of an eight-ring strongman.

But the other Mavis only has six rings, and it is not easy to upgrade from six rings to eight rings.

Even if she is a witch, it does not mean that she will definitely be promoted.

The essence of this matter lies in whether one is willing to offend the Church of Destiny and then get help from the Lord of the White Tower.

'The teacher told me before that I don't need to worry about the Silent Church. He has already made an agreement with the Pope of the Silent Church and they will not hunt me down again.'

'The major forces that are hostile to me now include the Witch Cult and the unknown Dragon Feast Cult.'

"We must think of the worst possible scenario, and assume that the Dragon Feast Cult knows that I stole their dragon skeleton and considers me an enemy."

These enemies are the ones that we might face in the future on the continent of Okanal.

As for this continental island, there are enemies everywhere.

In the long run, the enemies of establishing a destiny church are not rational.

But from now on, the Church of Destiny will not cause trouble for him in the short term, and the enemies that Deya has to face now are the Kingdom of Susetani, the Church of Dawn and the Kingdom of Inglo.

Deya was a man who acted decisively, and he made a decision immediately.

The future is nonsense, the present is the most important. If we can’t get over the current crisis, how can there be any future?

At least as for the Dawn Pope Kirkadi II whom Deya knows, he must have external help to defeat him.

"I've thought about it carefully. I need your strength!"

Deya, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Lord of the White Tower.

Mavis had been waiting for him to say this, and she smiled beautifully and said, “I will lend you my power.

But now is the year of the Yin, my strength cannot be fully exerted, and needs to be conserved. I will only help you when you are in danger or when you need it most. "

"That's enough. I will handle most things myself. I don't need others to take care of me like a nanny. That will only make me look incompetent."

Mavis admired Deya's firm will and willingness to rely on herself.

Deya turned his head away, not looking at Mavis’ beautiful smile that made his heart beat faster, and said again: “There is another problem, and the other one is that you have great hostility towards me.

Since you can't always act as a witch, this problem must be solved."

Mavis obviously had a plan in mind, she said: "The other me and I have different consciousnesses, but we share the same body.

I will use this body to force you to sign a contract. When you face me, we are equals, but when you face her, the contract will be a master-servant relationship."

As soon as she finished speaking, her leisurely expression suddenly turned into anger and fear: "You can't do this, this is my body!"

Immediately afterwards, Mavis performed another face-changing performance. The horrified look disappeared, and she chuckled softly: "My power is stronger than yours, so you can only obey me."

Deya murmured in his heart as he watched this scene. He always had a strange feeling that the witch Mavis in front of him was pressing the head of the saint Mavis back.

"It doesn't matter what you do to the other me, as long as it doesn't kill her."

Witch Mavis said rather casually.

"Damn witch, I don't want to be a slave, especially not this guy's slave!"

"Shut up, kids, don't interrupt when adults are talking!"

Deya looked at Mavis speechlessly as she started arguing with herself again.

The witch Mavis was still the winner. After arguing with her other self, she looked at Upton and said, "Druid, I want you to be loyal to Deya for ten years.

As long as you do this, I will personally go to the Emerald Courtyard in ten years to help your people return."

Upton looked at Mavis carefully, and without thinking, he said excitedly: "Okay!"

Before Deya, who was frowning, could speak, Mavis said again: “…I know you are friends with this druid, but don’t feel uncomfortable.

This druid should be able to advance to the seventh ring soon. You are still too weak now, and you need someone stronger to help you.

In order to advance, you will definitely go to the Okaner Continent in the future. There are many more powerful people there than on this continent. You need to have a loyal and strong team. "

Upton also consoled him: "Deya, this is my own will, don't feel any psychological burden."

Since Upton himself said so, De Ya certainly won't be pretentious.

Mavis admired Deya's decisiveness without hesitation. She asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I will use this mountain range as my base, and take over the town of Munster at the mountain pass. I will prepare to build an experimental field for the necromancer here.

I have already thought of a name for it, it is called 'Zomlit's Tomb'!"

Zomlit is the Enochian word for death (dark moon).

Translated into human language, it means 'Tomb of the Dead'.

As a necromancer, Deya will one day build his own wizard tower.

However, unlike other mages, his mage tower will not be built upwards, but downwards. This is exactly the 'Tomb of Zomlit'!
