Chapter 7 We Are Thieves

Sean stayed.

He watched the butcher leave. Although he had the urge to escape, he knew he had to stay.

Because he has no strength, it is difficult for him to survive.

The Great Detective - Motilan was still staring at him, those indescribable illusions.

"Sit here."

Ms. Hecate put down the book in her hand, stared at Xiao En in front of her, and said softly: "I will take out half an hour every day to teach you in the future."

"The rest of the time, you can read by yourself."

"My maid will tell you which books you can read and which you can't."

Xiao En nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, ma'am."

Ms. Hecate nodded slightly, then gently raised her hand, and an illusory gray mist emerged, gradually condensing into some characters and patterns. Unlike her old face, the lady's fingers were white and slender, and her skin was like that of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"First lesson. Magic."

Lady Hecate's voice was cold and stern. She said in a concentrated tone, "This world once had normal magic, but after the fall of the world, the magic became corrupted."

pollute?

Xiao En looked up in surprise.

"The essence of all power has been distorted, and knowledge has become alive." At this point, Ms. Hecate stared at Xiao En and said slowly: "You should have a deep understanding of this."

The Great Detective - Moty Lane.

The living knowledge.

"If you want to use magic, you must learn to harness living knowledge, because it is a resource." Lady Hecate said softly: "Magic, witchcraft, sorcery, etc., the casting of all spells is closely related to knowledge."

"Knowledge will teach you magic."

"If you don't understand this, you will be lost sooner or later."

Xiao En nodded silently. The butcher had warned him that the lady didn't like others interrupting her.

"The essence of the world's power has been taken away by some indescribable ancient existence." Lady Hecate continued: "If the extraordinary people want to use this power, they must take it back."

"But before that, you have to learn to steal!"

steal?
Xiao En's brain is a little insufficient.

"Yes. Steal." Lady Hecate seemed to have the ability to read minds. She whispered, "Those sleeping ancient beings cannot perceive our theft. As long as you are careful enough, you can steal some of it."

Xiao En couldn't help but ask, "How to steal?"

Lady Hecate said calmly, "Ritual."

"Their existence is very special. Even when they are asleep and unconscious, they will automatically respond to specific rituals."

Xiao En was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "What if they wake up?"

Ms. Hecate seemed a little surprised that Sean would ask this question. After thinking for a moment, she said, "That was a disaster."

"But as long as you don't face them directly, your abilities will still remain."

"It just doesn't work on them and their families."

Xiao En inexplicably felt a hint of despair, but it quickly disappeared. He hesitated and asked, "These extraordinary powers don't belong to us?"

Lady Hecate was silent.

She had already noticed that the young man in front of her was rather troublesome, or rather, very troublesome, because few people would ask such a question. She said softly, "Yes."

"Until you take back the essence of this power, it does not belong to us."

Xiao En chewed over the other person's words and murmured, "Take it back?"

Lady Hecate seemed unwilling to continue this topic, and said softly: "When you embark on the path of destiny in the future, you will know."

It’s destiny again!

What kind of existence does destiny exist in this world?
"The extraordinary people are just a bunch of pitiful creatures struggling to survive in the cracks."

"Surviving on a little stolen power."

Ms. Hecate said meaningfully: "Only when you embark on the path of destiny can you have the power that truly belongs to you."

Despair. This time, Xiao En really felt despair and fear, although it disappeared quickly.

"Your talent is very suitable for becoming a spellcaster." Lady Hecate said softly: "Compared with other extraordinary paths, the situation of spellcasters is much better."

"At least in most cases, you don't have to worry about your abilities being ineffective against certain beings."

“As long as you can harness the knowledge.”

Xiao En was silent for a long while.

After a long while, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Please teach me, teacher!"

Lady Hecate showed a hint of appreciation when she heard this. She stood up and said, "Although the power of magic has been distorted, the essence of the world is still there, only the way it operates has changed."

"We are just a bunch of poor wretches struggling to survive, using the little power we stole."

"but."

"Ants also have the potential to take back everything!"

"This is the destiny of mankind!"

"Before you complete your ascension, before you become a Destiny Legend, you must remember that your power was stolen, and you must avoid the master who possesses the essence of this power!"

What on earth have the humans of this world been through?

Xiao En didn't dare to think about it.

Ms. Hecate stood up gracefully. When Xiao En looked up, he was surprised to find that the lady in front of him had changed drastically. She was no longer an old woman, but a bright and beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Even her voice became as clear as a yellow oriole. She looked at Xiao En in front of her and whispered, "Come with me."

"I will teach you how to be a qualified thief first."

Outside the high walls.

The butcher did not leave. He stood outside the gate, waiting quietly.

"You arranged Lady Hecate as a mentor for him?" A beautiful girl as delicate as a doll emerged from the shadows.

The butcher didn't even raise his eyes and nodded, "Yes."

The doll girl looked a little unbelievable and asked softly, "So, what's the price?"

The butcher remained silent and said in a deep voice, "This is not something you should ask."

The doll girl took a quick breath and asked in a concentrated tone, "What do you want to do by letting a demigod of the path of death be his mentor?"

The butcher said expressionlessly: "Do what you should do."

Broke up unhappily.

The delicate doll-like girl turned away, but the butcher took out the original ritual dagger and threw it over, saying, "Go on."

"He has no use for this thing."

The doll girl didn't even turn her head and caught the ritual dagger in an instant.

"From today on, I will be responsible for everything concerning him." The butcher paused and said in a deep voice: "This is also the Chief's arrangement."

Speaking of which.

The butcher looked up at the majestic black obelisk in the distance. The obelisk that reached into the sky represented the highest glory of the path of death.

It was not until the figure of the doll girl disappeared that the butcher took out a rusty dark red emblem, on which was engraved an ancient five-pointed star array, with wheat ears dotted with star patterns, and on the back was engraved a sentence in ancient words - "Death is our choice, death is the last refuge of mankind."

The butcher whispered: "Only death can stand against them."

Of the twelve mythical paths, only the Path of Death has the power to fight the Old Ones head-on.

The talent displayed by the young man was unprecedented. It was extremely rare for a soul from another world to possess the supernatural abilities of an ascender just after rebirth.

Among all the mythical paths of the extraordinary, only the Path of Death can suppress most of the pollution. Although this requires a huge price, it is extremely suitable for those souls who are born different.

"Immortal will."

"He is still a living person, but he possesses part of the will of the dead."

"The Chief's experiment may have been successful." The butcher's eyes were deep.
