The Magician of Clow

Chapter 404 I'm not a hero, and I don't want to grow up.
In the night courtyard, a circular teleportation array shines in the center of the courtyard, the deep red carpet passes through, and the blue water mist rises up, illuminating the cheeks of the three people in the darkness of the evening.

The lines are intertwined, outlining the mysterious magic pattern.

The mist diffused from the edge of the pattern, rose and spread, and the white air sank like a fairyland, welcoming the silent youth who faced it.

The tip of Silver Broken Dragon Tooth was covered in white air, spreading over his ankles, as if standing in a cloud, the misty moisture was brought up by the evening wind, and blew across his silent face covered with eyes, the night scene Tailored hem.

The soft words of Shui Linlang on the other side of the magic circle blew.

'Become the Last Watchman of Midnight'

On the side of the garden, Li Ze silently looked at Fangran who was not far away, except that it was still difficult to accept this fact.

Hearing Shui Linlang's words, he fell silent in shock.

Compared with North America and Europe, Asia with the largest population base has the largest number of participants active in the night battle world, and like the zero knights of the Palace of Night and the executive officers of the association, Ziye also has the highest combat power that distinguishes all participants—— night guard.

And it is different from the executive officer of the association who believes in the supremacy of power, and the Nightless Palace must be approved by the queen to become Zero Knight.

The night watchmen in Midnight have always been the most special. Not only is the number fixed, but the existence itself must be a person who has something in his heart to be given a name except for the power he possesses.

Under the same ranking, the highest combat power of the three major forces is often the most mysterious night watchman, who is even more feared by people.

Moreover, due to the low-key activities, the outside world still does not know how many night watchmen exist in Midnight.

As the youngest night watchman in Ziye, Li Ze knows better than anyone else.

How pure weight is this appellation?

"The last one. The night watchman.?"

In the mist, the taciturn young man recited silently in a low voice.

"Well, yes. The last of the Night's Watch."

Shui Linlang nodded silently, then repeated his words, propping her cheeks with her white wrists, and said softly:
"Become a Night Watchman, and the power of Midnight will devote all its resources to you."

"Provide a new platform, a new level, to let you have something you have never had before. I believe that Li Ze's experience is very clear."

Hearing Shui Linlang mention his name, Li Ze silently affirmed, and then slowly opened his mouth, revealing a secret that the outside world has never understood.

"I gained the ability to improve my strength to A-level in a short period of time after becoming a night watchman."

Is it
become a night watchman
Fangran stood quietly at the gate of the garden, watching the formation of water mist.

"Is this what you mean by 'growth'?"

The young man looked a little depressed and asked softly, the eyelashes on the lowered eyelids were a little wet.

"Well, that's the growth I want you to decide on."

There was also mist in front of Shui Linlang's blue eyes. She stared at Fangran with a soft voice of doubt.

"As long as I become the night watchman?"

"As long as you become a night watchman."

The blue eyes stared at him, looked at the magic circle that was bright in the eyes of the three, and answered softly.

"Stepping into this magic circle, you will immediately appear in Ziye's shrine, where there will be at least six participants with abilities related to mana points and human organs, although they can't reach the level that those two people gave you , but it can permanently let you get rid of the burden on your heart and reach at least a C-level upper level."

Shui Linlang didn't continue talking, because she knew that this smart young man in front of her could figure out everything.

This is all she wants to say to Fang Ran tonight.

Get rid of the burden on your heart permanently.

Fangran's hand touching his chest was slightly tightened, as if this would allow him to better feel the beating of his heart in his chest.
As if he still has a complete heart.

Although Shui Linlang didn't go into details, Fangran knew that if he became a night watchman, it would definitely be an earth-shaking change. He was told by Su Qun to fight the world overnight, and he knew very well that Ziye, one of the three major forces, had the highest combat power , the meaning represented by the night watchman.

At that time, he also curiously asked Su Qun how powerful and mysterious those Lingqi, executive officers, and night watchmen were.

But he didn't expect that he could become one of them now, as long as he stepped into the magic circle in front of him.
And not only that, he can also completely get rid of the burden of [Creating Cards] heart.

The energy value standard of C level is 6000-8000.

C-level upper rank, that is to say, his mana value is close to 8000.

What's more important is that having an 'unlimited' self, with no restrictions, no negative effects, and the meaning of 8000 mana points fully controlled by oneself is far beyond what a C-level leader can simply express.

And Fangran can be sure that Shui Linlang is absolutely not lying.

Because she's said so much about herself to make herself believe her 'next words'.

"Fangran, I'm not forcing you or threatening you, but I really hope you accept this proposal."

Shui Linlang did not have her smile on her face, but stared deeply at Fangran, as if speaking softly with some kind of hope and expectation.

"Infinity, it is really more important to the world of night battles than you think."

After hearing these words, Fangran suddenly spoke, and he was silent for a while, which seemed to have been silent for a long time.

"I've always been curious."

The young man's voice was soft and calm, he exhaled lightly, and slightly blowing away the mist, he finally understood.

Then, for the first time, he raised his head slightly, his eyes bright in the night.

Only then did Shui Linlang realize that the eyes of the young man in front of him were bright and clear.

"Why do you help me like this? You have been silently helping me solve the interference from the outside world, meddling in various external factors that may threaten me. The person I killed in the middle of the night in that scene must have been suppressed by you afterwards." come down."

Speaking of this, Fangran glanced at the water mist magic circle shining in front of him, spreading the mist color like the entrance of a fairyland, chuckled, then took a deep breath, looked away from the window and looked out of the window in the night. Hua Hai, who was gradually falling asleep, said calmly:
"And there is also this proposal. In order for me to reach that point, those six participants must at least give up their free and continuous use ability, and they cannot be ordinary participants. Ordinary participants can do it. Raise my mana, or maintain my heart?"

He laughed for some reason, and then exhaled, seeming to suppress the shock and emotion in his heart, and said affirmatively:
"Impossible, at least B-level, maybe A-level participation."

Li Ze was silent at the side, and Shui Lin looked at him silently, without interrupting his words.

And in fact, indeed, one of those people was an A-rank night watchman.

"I don't believe that for no reason, a big man who has fought against the three major powers in the night and lived for a century will bother me so much. Moreover, from you, I can't see the malice of the conspiracy."

The young man standing there smiled calmly and softly, with clear eyes, he turned his head to look at Shui Linlang.

In the face of this situation, did he still consider these things?
Seemingly understanding the reason why he had been silent before, Shui Linlang had to admit again that this young man was more careful and intelligent than she imagined.

From the moment he was exposed by himself when he entered the door, he showed a calm and delicate mind that was completely different from the way outsiders saw him.

"If it's my reward for saving your granddaughter, it doesn't seem to be the case, so I've always been curious,"

"Why are you helping me?"

Fangran smiled, then fell silent for a while, shook his head and said:

"But after hearing what you said just now, I suddenly understood."

Shui Linlang's blue eyes froze for a second, and then looked deeply at the young man opposite the water mist formation.

"As a prophet who has lived for a century, you are really great. Although you can't guess the specific reason, you spared no effort to help me, and even made the decision to let me become the night watchman of Midnight."

Fangran's eyes flashed across the Linfu neighborhood that night. No, the majestic shadow in the middle of the catastrophic and desperate city found the answer from Shui Linlang's last sentence.

"Sure enough, it's for the night battle world, or to put it more bluntly, for the overall situation of saving the world?"

Facing the A-62 with destructive power that night, Fangran realized for the first time the horror of numbered monsters standing on the enemy's side.
dark world.

Shui Linlang was silent, this was the longest time she was silent tonight.

After a long time, she looked deeply at Fangran, looked down at the water mist and said in a low voice:
"Well, that's right, I really think so. At least in this era, since you exist, I hope it can change."

"So, you are really great, and you don't hesitate to use your abilities at the price."

Fangran said softly, Shui Linlang froze, and then said in a complicated tone:
"How did you guess that?"

Facing the mist, Fangran raised his head slightly, forced his expression to show a smirk:
"Because I don't believe that an ancient A-level participant would not choose to take personal revenge after his granddaughter was in danger several times."

Shui Linlang was silent and didn't answer, the blue light suddenly dissipated from her body.

Although he was still young and magnificent, but without the haunting blue illusion, the azure blue in his eyes had changed back to the same glazed color as Shui Lianxin.

"Fangran, do you really want to reject this proposal?"

Shui Linlang raised her restored eyes, stared at Fangran seriously, and confirmed in a tone of unbearable:
"I know that this may indeed be a huge change for you, because the primordial is involved in an existence that is not his own will, but you can't keep the status quo forever, you can't choose never to step into the real world of night battles, You can't choose to live on mana forever!"

When it came to the end, Shui Linlang's eyes were filled with concern as an elder, and she fixed her eyes on his complicated and soft earnestness:
"You should learn to grow."

The gentle words carry the concern and distress of the elders.

At this moment, even if she uses this power to 'save the world' in the future, Shui Linlang sincerely hopes that Fangran can change her mind.

At least, it can prevent him from falling into a coma due to cardiac arrest.

The young man stood silent for a long time in the shadow of water mist.

Then his voice was hoarse, as if he was asking himself bitterly and softly:
"So, what is growth?"

He bit his lips tightly, and stared at Shui Linlang suddenly, the calmness in his eyes was broken, his expression was shaken, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red!

It seemed that mist had condensed in the corner of his eyes.
"I used to think that growing up is wonderful!"

His voice began to waver and become more intense, the hand grasping the heart of his chest became more and more forceful, and the voice of his words became louder and louder!

"I want to be strong, smart, handsome, mature and steady, so that my parents won't worry!"

"Be whoever you want to be!"

Fangran swept Yin Duanlong's tooth away, sweeping away a mist of water, it seemed that his emotions could not be suppressed from entering the door at this moment, bursting out from so many memories of seeing Shui Linlang showing him, and struggling excitedly!

Shui Linlang looked at him in a little astonishment, she didn't expect such a scene, but the divination of his past appeared in her mind, and she fell silent again.

Yinduanlongya let go of his hand directly, flew out, and stuck on the ground at the door.

Fangran gritted his teeth and bowed slightly, as if his hands that were hurting in his chest were tightly grasping his clothes, his voice was hoarse and low, as if it had been squeezed out of the memory of that night, with the cry of a child.

"But I found out. It's not... what I thought it was!"

Reminiscing about that late night, the child who was innocent and hardworking that night
"It's not that if you work hard slowly, you can get it slowly. In the end, you will understand those principles logically, grow up, and become sensible. It's not such a beautiful thing as I thought!"

Has he grown up?
grown up.

He grew up faster than ever, and suddenly understood many things in reality that he didn't know.

The growth is vigorous and burning.

Just like the protagonists in hero movies.
Just face the cruel reality.

After taking a deep breath, Fangran let go of his hands, stood up straight, and looked straight at her.

His eyes were firm and ferocious, and his voice was extremely hoarse and calm:

"Getting what you never got also means losing what you never lost."

That night, he got the maturity and deepness that he always wanted, who understands a lot of truths and finds it very handsome, at the price of
Lost the hard-working, innocent child who dreamed of becoming a handsome hero,
He has become the taciturn and silent man he once was.

Have you grown up?

grown up.

It's just that growth made Fangran understand.

To grow is not to get,
but lost.

Lose what you never lost, gain what you never gained.

"I know you are right, everything you do is for my own good, and I also know that as long as I leave here and become a night watchman, I can get a lot of things, to be active on the international stage, to see the vast world, to devote myself to enhancing strength task, but"

Fangran calmed his breathing, cooled his hot eye sockets, and stared straight at Shui Linlang's calm opening.

"For me, all my days, all those laughing moments with the people I know, that's all I cherish and all I have!"

"And to get what you say, I'm going to lose all of that."

In an instant, the days when I was always embarrassed with Ling, the days when I lived in the noisy rented house with Meng Lang and Gou Yu, the days when I was training with Suqun in the night bureau, the days when I was a little nervous with Hua Ling and Su Xing , the days of bickering with alchemists, the days of being taught various experiences by Lime and magicians,

And even though he is not good at dealing with people, he is actually very gentle and caring about his condition and helping him train Ye Sheng,

the daily life he usually goes through
"And you are indeed a great person, but 'saving the world' to become powerful or something, even if you have the power of 'infinity', is not what I want. I have passed the age of being stupid in the second grade."

I have made a mistake once, for which I lost the carefree, innocent and happy days before, and spent the three years of high school alone and lonely.

I won't do it again.

Fangran turned around and walked towards the gate of the garden. He pulled out the silver broken dragon tooth that he had just let go, and said softly.

"So, I won't be a night watchman."

Even if you can get rid of the shackles of your heart and gain unprecedented freedom.

But isn't that what growing up is all about?

There is no value or not, only willingness or not.

He shook his head vigorously, returning to his usual self.

Putting away Yinduanlongya, Fangran turned around and smiled at Shui Linlang in embarrassment.

He changed back to the one who just entered the door.

As if they had never experienced such a conversation, he was a little at a loss and said to the beautiful and luxurious woman in front of him:
"If it was the old one, I might have agreed, but I'm really sorry, you are late, now."

After taking one last look at the water mist magic circle that represented a lot, Fangran pushed the door and walked out, leaving only his last words, in the embarrassed, reserved and polite voice of a young man.

"I'm not a hero and I don't want to grow up."

　I said a long time ago that Fangran doesn't need to grow up, he has his own maturity, call

　　Nearly [-] words, why is it not an explosion, why am I salty, why don’t I work hard, and the bastard who slandered me yesterday for asking for money, I will warn you once at the end, don’t jump too much, cough Cough, and thank you for your support, today's class reunion, a bit late but finally finished

　　[First of all, I would like to thank Akita Osamu, a local tyrant, for another [-] reward. I was frightened and frightened, and there are many, many things I can’t say. I will slowly turn to the record and thank you]
