Even a child was able to tell Lei’s discontent and suspicion toward the wishing magic.
Sui Xiong couldn’t help but say, "The wishing magic is also known as advanced magic. Even if they
are legendary shamans, not all of them would be able to display this magic. This is a lower level
wishing magic, normally an advanced shaman or even a legendary shaman is capable of displaying it.
Why do you seem to look down on them?"
Lei sighed, telling him what he had experienced before.
When Sui Xiong heard about his "the strongest warrior" medal, he could not help but laugh out loud.
"These people are very creative! Brilliant! Brilliant! -- -- -Do you still keep that medal?"
Lei was silent for a while, and then took out an ancient bronze medal.
Just from a glance, one was able to tell this medal had been held onto for a long time. Countless touches
had made the sharp edges of it become smooth and evasive, and had turned it to a light golden
color. It seemingly gave off a time-condensed feeling.
This medal was made very ordinarily or the smith making this medal had indeed put a lot of
effort, but his technique was not good enough, hence everything was in vain. In other words, due to
the poor materials, its water resistance was extraordinarily low. The writing on the medal had become
extremely blurry, only a few words could be vaguely seen. As for the original patterns on the medal,
more than half of them were rubbed off and could not be seen clearly.
Stelle took a swift look, then immediately lost her interest. As the one coming from nobility, she
could also be considered a small expert in jewel evaluation. With just a glance, she could tell that this
medal was of poor quality goods, which was put on counters in all souvenir stores in the big cities. It
could be bought with a few copper coins.
But Sui Xiong stared attentively at this medal without blinking for a long time, then gently asked, "Do
you regret making that wish?"
"Regret? On the contrary, it is not that bad." Lei shook his head, "I’ve done too many regretful
things in my life. That medal is not worth mentioning."
"If you don’t really regret that, why do you have such a spiteful attitude toward the wishing
magic? This doesn’t make sense."
Lei hesitated for a while, sighed deeply, and then changed the subject.
That was when he hadn’t become a lonesome thief yet, and had explored the Westfall under the
identity of an adventurer.
At that time, he hid his true identity and ability, disguised in a mid-level adventurer’s appearance, and
joined a pretty-famous adventure team. The ability of this team was not very powerful, but the
atmosphere in the team was very good. The captain was kind and righteous and everyone helped each
other, which made him satisfied.
Just like that, two years had passed by until one day they had come across
part of a treasure map. After having been through countless hardships, they had finally found the
treasure.
That treasure was indeed very satisfactory. Everyone distributed many good items-- -- -the
leather armor he was wearing was also from that treasure.
And inside the treasure, the most precious things were two magic scrolls.
Surrounding these two scrolls was the ability to make wishes come true, so everyone crazily fought for
them, which was extremely messy-- -- -- -in fact, the majority of them were disturbed. In the end, after
discussing it with everyone, the captain used one scroll.
His wish was "I want to live forever and be immortal."
"This wish is very unreliable." Sui Xiong said, "A wishing magic couldn’t do such a thing."
Lei painfully smiled, then nodded. "You are right. After the captain made the wish, space and t
ime
suddenly solidified, imprisoning him. He then was sucked into a black hole to some unknown place."
"If he was locked up, he might really become immortal..." Sui Xiong shook his head, sighed, "Wrong
wishes often lead to a similar result like that. After all, the mortal willpower is strong enough to resist
the world. It is also not strange for one to be fooled and misrepresented."
Lei and other people were dumbstruck as they saw this scene. They all wanted to bring the captain back
but there was basically no way. After tormenting themselves for a period of time, there was
no way left to try.
Having lost a highly prestigious captain, the adventure team collapsed very soon after. Lei continued
being an adventurous soloist as other people also parted ways.
Not too long after that, Lei took a mission to escort a caravan to pass the Orc Empire. It took more than
several months for him to get there. When he returned to the Westfall, he saw a scene like a bolt from
the blue.
The story about the wishing magic scroll was leaked outside. The famous "Pellets" Smuggling Chamber
of Commerce had found their place. Each and every comrade in his team was either betrayed or killed.
Finally, the entire family of the captain, young and old members, were murdered-- -- -- due to
their earlier disbandment, the remaining scroll was left for the captain’s son.
"Is the result that the scroll was snatched away?" Sui Xiong coldly asked, "Did the birth of your "Family
Extermination" title come from that war as well?"
"That’s right... I took my savings out to hire thieves, spreading false news, making the Pellet Smuggling
Chamber of Commerce mistake that another organization wanted to have a bloody fight with
them. All of them retreated to their headquarters. Then, I carried my sword and killed all of them from
the big gate to the inside." Lei coldly said, with his face emotionless.
That fight was extremely fierce. The widely famous Pellet Smuggling Chamber of Commerce
disappeared. All the key members of the chamber of commerce were killed, except for some lucky
escapers. He didn’t let a single chick or dog slip away. The title "family extermination" also came from this.
Also starting from that day, he was no longer an adventurer, but became a lonesome thief.
Ironically, when Lei killed everyone on the way to the room of the President of the Pellet Smuggling
Chamber of Commerce, he discovered that the President was in a secret room, which was completely
isolated from the outside world. He then, very carefully activated the scroll and made a wish - "I
want bottomless wealth that can never be used up".
Therefore, Lei chopped down on him with one sword, conveniently stuck a gold coin on his body, and
said, "If you have an ability to use up, then feel free to use it."
After that, he raised the spear and put it into his heart.
"Well done!" Sui Xiong praised him, thought carefully for a bit, then smiled and said,: "His wish
indeed looks like it had come true. It seems like he really ‘can’t use up all the wealth’..."
"That’s right, he can’t use up all the wealth." Lei beamed a mocking smile, "After going through that
event, I have developed an intense vigilance and antipathy toward the ‘wishing magic’. I always feel that
this magic is extremely unreasonable, but avoiding it might be too late."
"This kind of wishing magic doesn’t bring any good result. It is simply too bad or
getting worse and worse."
This time, Sui Xiong had completely understood where his spiteful attitude toward the wishing magic
came from. It was all from his bloody lessons!
It was probably like Sui Xiong and his friend that had unstable nerves in a game before -- -- -this friend
used to beat down four in a team battle and he in one blow also destroyed five people in the opponent’s
team just in one strike. Under good circumstances, he suddenly burst out a muddle-headed move, and
buried the victory in his hand... In short, most of the times he was muddle-headed, the exploding
circumstance was very rare.
Therefore, when they played games together for several months, pitifully, Sui Xiong was not only unable
to promote his competitive level, but his Golden rank also fell to the Silver rank.
Since then, whenever the team made a conversation about "unstable nerve", he always found all kinds
of reasons to decline.... I
"But, the perfect wishing magic is different!" He said, "The magic will not bring such an
obnoxious result!"
"After all, it is still wishing magic, what is the difference between them?" Lei asked back.
Sui Xiong was upset as he explained in a loud voice, "The wishing magic is a mortal magic, while the
perfect wishing magic is a God magic. These two are completely different! Not the same!"
"What is the difference?"
"The effect!"
"So what is the difference in terms of the effect?"
"The perfect wishing magic will not give a ‘malicious result’." Sui Xiong raised one tentacle straight up,
which looked similar to a finger, to increase his persuasion, "If the wishing could not get a good result,
this magic will automatically roll back, and recover the state when the wish has not yet been made."
The perfect magic of course would not really "make the dream come true". It could be used as a God
magic. It had a mechanism to fix mistakes perfectly. If the wish was not implemented in the
way that was favorable for the wisher, it would automatically abolish this wish, at the same time, giving
the wisher another wish.
Taking the example that "supposed Lei agreed with the wish of ‘I want to be the strongest warrior in the
world’", supposed he used this wish, then he would be gifted with another wish "this wish can’t be
proceeded, please alter, or wish again". As the result, he would not waste a precious wish. He could do a
little bit of an adjustment, like "I want to become a warrior who is stronger than a giant dragon", or "I
want to become a super fast warrior with a God Power".
"In other words, the perfect wishing magic could guarantee that the wish will be executed directly-- --
even if the situation might not be completely perfect, it would not entrap you. Right?" Lei was
silent for a while.
Sui Xiong beamed a smile. "Uhm, it is probably like this."
Lei was silent again for a very long time, then patted Stelle’s shoulder. "Fighting! Although I feel that the
possibility of you turning into a pig is relatively big, you will be like a prodigal son that changes entirely...
A perfect wishing magic is worth trying your best!"
Even though, it was unknown how many deeds she had to accumulate, how much gratitude
she had to earn to light up the flame inside the blue bracelet-- -- it would definitely be a ridiculous
number, at least this was clearly a "wish"!
In this world, countless powerhouses couldn’t make their wishes come true and died in regret. No
matter how much effort they had put into it, how many dangers they had been through, more than half
of them couldn’t implement their wishes.
The legendary shaman who had invented the wishing magic was a tragic example. She was originally a
princess of a country. When she was cultivating magic, she knew that her country was destroyed by the
war and her family and friends all died. To save her country, she had spent thousands of years and
months to research magic, then finally came up with the wishing magic. This magic didn’t have the
ability to achieve her goal-- -- despite the fact that even a God had to glance at her mighty power, the
result she got was just the adjustment about history on the paper, only obtaining a "saved" part In books.
Later on, this great shaman died in endless regret. Her strength and willpower shook the
world. In the end, she became a newborn god-- -the God of Regret. That was a God who was in pain
because she couldn’t make her wish come true. She beamed a cold smile, looking at the mortal in
grief the God of Grief.
A... terrible Devil God.
No matter if it was Lei or Sui Xiong, they both didn’t know that the appearance of the perfect wishing
magic was related to the great Devil God-- -- -the one who invented this magic was the teacher of the
Devil God, a great and formidable sage that no God could be compared to.
In order to save the spirit of his disciple, he had spent the time of several hundred years to invent this
magic.
In the end, the perfect wishing magic could not make up for the regret of the Devil God, but it could
reduce a little bit regret in a mortal.
And now, the ill-fated Stelle just wanted to try harder to accumulate as many good deeds as possible to
implement a wish.
Of course... the first condition was that she had to accumulate enough good deeds.
After hearing these things, Stelle rolled her eyes, dropped her jaws, looked at the blue bracelet on the
back of her hand, and constantly mumbled, "A perfect wishing magic, wish... A perfect wishing magic,
wish..."
After she said this for a while, her eyes looked a little bit inappropriate. A flame lit up ceaselessly inside
the red bracelet on the back of her left hand.
