Overturned Tower

"No matter what method is used to use this spell... no matter what kind of object is reversed, as long as you choose to reverse it, it must be a 'day'."

"In that case... this person should be easy to deal with."

The godfather thought: "If he has to take off his glasses, he should be able to assassinate him very easily."

"Theoretically, this is the case. But the area in front of the 'Hourglass Residence' is the 'Pocket Watch Centrifuge'. What I'm going to talk about next is the other side of this spell...you must pay attention to this point. This is the focus."

Torvatos' expression became serious, and the godfather and Morgan also concentrated their attention.

"He can only speed up his own time when he wears glasses. He can steal any time in the hourglass at any time to extend his own time... This ratio is 1440:1.

"That is to say, every time he drains the 24 hours stored in an hourglass, he can speed up his own time by 1 minute. During this 1 minute, the world is still for him. The hourglass he made has no There are at least a few dozen... If you use the normal method to assassinate him, you will definitely lose.

"In a frontal attack, even other elf mages will find it difficult to defeat him. After all, 1 minute is really too long... long enough for him to take off his glasses and send the opponent back to the past. "

"...but when these two abilities are combined, isn't it almost invincible?"

Morgan felt a little desperate for a moment.

"That's why he dared to act so recklessly. It is also because of this that he was able to save his son who shouldn't exist.

"You should know, godfather. The son of Camalthe is that notorious wretch.

"He also wants to kill his own father... Heh. I warned him, 'anger is meaningless in the face of time'. Hope he listens."

Speaking of this, Tovatus narrowed his eyes slightly: "Actually, I also think about it occasionally. Kamaltha has saved so much time... What is it for?

"There's no way forward for Elf directors."

"Unless...his target is a dragon."

The godfather continued.

Torvatus raised his eyebrows: "You think so too?"

"When you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however implausible, is the truth."

The godfather smiled. "A friend of mine once said that. I think it makes sense."

"friend?"

Tovatus was a little interested: "What's his name?"

"...Well. You can call him Holmes."

The godfather's expression was a little subtle.

If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible.

Paradise Bird's father doesn't seem to know his name yet... why don't we name him Holmes on the spot.

i have a friend

"But since that's the case," the godfather changed the subject, "if he can stop and stop for a long time while wearing glasses, he can kill a person immediately when he takes off the glasses... How can we defeat him?"

"I actually told you already."

"...You mean, the moment you take off your glasses?"

The godfather suddenly reacted.

But because it was too childish, I was not sure if I guessed right for a while.

"Yes."

Torvatus snapped his fingers: "And it has to be a fatal blow.

"If he's still alive, just take off his glasses and send someone back in time - he can reset his injuries."

"Then I suddenly have a question."

The barber thought: "What would happen if two people were sent back by him at the same time?"

"The latter overrides the former. Someone has already tried it."

Tovatus said very positively: "The former will still disappear at that point in time, and will not get the memory of the latter's reincarnation. From the former's point of view, this is still one of his own reincarnations.

"If the former is sent back at an earlier point in time, then the latter will become the new former... In short, there will always be only 'one person' with the most memory. That is the last one sent back The one who went to the past."

"Who tried it?"

The barber was surprised by such a detailed introduction: "Does he still have the time to investigate and ask?"

"my mom."

Tovatus raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied softly.

"But didn't you just say that elves cannot attack elves..."

Morgan questioned subconsciously.

The barber was about to say something, but he suddenly realized something and closed his mouth.

"Because she has something to do. She would rather let herself disappear in the cracks of time, and go back one day to go back to the past..."

As he said that, Tovatus looked at the godfather with a deeper gaze.

"—Godfather, you really do know."

The black-haired young son said slowly: "That secret."

At that moment, the barber felt a chill down his spine.

Chapter 35 Personified Capital

——There is no gratuitous hatred in this world.

Even if Tovatus is a joker, he is an elf after all.

What kind of fun is it that can reverse this natural position and make him happy to watch a fellow clan be assassinated, and even make suggestions for it?

At least in Russell's opinion, the "assassination of Camalthe" provided far from enough fun.

Although this is tantamount to simultaneous revenge in a triple sense-the hatred about Russell, the hatred about the inferior, and the hatred about Miss Morgan.

But after all, this has nothing to do with Torvatus directly.This kind of revenge drama must have been experienced countless times in his "Tovatus" long memory.

It made him feel happy, and he was even willing to accept Miss Morgan's entrustment and find the godfather for her to help her; even without receiving any payment, he offered them key information and taught them how to assassinate Kamalthe director……

Of all positions, the ass position is the truest position.

There must be a deeper reason for being able to surpass one's ass.

Now, Russell feels that he probably has the answer.

Morgan thought that Tovatus' mother should also be an elf... This is the common sense of most people.

But Russell knew...that wasn't the case.

Not long ago, he just learned the secret about elves from Grandma Lan:

Spirituality is a disease, once cured this disease can become an immortal spirit.

The elves have mastered this technology, and they have even been able to heal everyone long ago, allowing the whole world to complete a true "ascension".

But they chose to monopolize the technology.

By strictly controlling the number of elves and selecting the best humans to become elves, the absolute advantage of elves over ordinary humans is guaranteed.

In order to hide this secret... or in other words, in order to maintain the rule of the elves over human beings and make ordinary people feel that "the elves are born noble", the elves even created their own language that belongs to the long-lived species.

"Elf Language" is even a compulsory course for some majors.

Because it is possible for them to deal with elves after graduation, mastering Elven language is a great advantage.

They specially cultivate some romantic and useless hobbies, and create some special nouns that only elves use... such as "mother tree", "ancestor", "beast-eared man", and "beastization", so as to distinguish themselves from humans Clear boundaries.

Among human beings, only a very small number of big families or extremely outstanding individuals can get in touch with the secret that Grandma Lan knows.

And as long as they can get in touch with this level, once they have the opportunity to become elves, they will immediately become vested interests and start to keep secrets with the elves.

Faced with Tovatus' questioning, the godfather didn't know how to deal with it.

The one who knows this is "Ultramarine", and the relationship it relies on is "Tower of Babel", neither of which is an existence that cannot be displayed in front of Torvatus.

So he could only keep silent.

"Sure enough..."

However, Tovatus seemed to have expected this long ago.

His gaze at the godfather became complicated.

It's like the relief of finding a like-minded partner, and it's like the passion of facing competitors...

Maybe the barber was wrong—he even noticed a little melancholy and sadness on Torvatus's face.

"That's why you said at that time...'They have already monopolized most of the industries, possessed most of the wealth, and are almost the uncrowned kings of this world. But they still want more'."

Tovatus stared at the godfather and said softly: "The 'they' you said do not refer to the company, but to the elves."

...No, actually I mean the company.

At first, I wanted to refer to those capitalists at the top of the company.

But the barber was silent for a while, only to find out that what Torvatus said seemed to be okay...

In a sense, elves are the personification of the out-of-control capital of this world.

——This is actually the reason why the rule of the elves is so stable.

Because among human beings, the most outstanding individuals, those families with the most power and wealth will also eventually become elves.

Anyone who can resist the rule of the elves will eventually be assimilated and share power...and most importantly, the right to live forever.

Although the elves transformed by this method may not necessarily become the 84 directors, inherit the fate and memory passed down from generation to generation, and directly become the longevity director of the head office.

But ordinary elves might be better for those families.

The short memory before becoming an elf will undoubtedly be diluted by the long millennium, and become extremely pale.

It's not just that family affection will be so weak that it can be ignored.The elves reincarnated in this way would hardly be of any benefit to the family.

——But those boys and girls transformed into ordinary elves are different.

Their lifespan is about 1000 years, and they can protect their families for a long time.

Although they themselves no longer belong to this family, they have nothing to do with this family in name.

However, childhood memories and the emotions cultivated over the years after becoming elves will make them love their family more than anyone else.

Under such circumstances, seeing the family's decline, they will naturally help to continue the old bloodline...

If the family has cultivated an excellent "foundation" and has a new quota of elves, it will naturally give priority to taking care of these families.

After all, for elves, the family can only be regarded as a very weak blood relationship, and only elves are the same kind who can communicate on an equal footing - but if they are both elves, they are naturally more trustworthy if they have a blood relationship with themselves.

So it is passed down from generation to generation... and a solidified power is formed.

——Like the top executives of the company.

Only the same high-level people can communicate with each other on an equal footing; ordinary people can theoretically transform into high-level people, but this way is controlled by a few people; people who become high-level people will cultivate their own factions and increase their own ability. The number of "peers" to trust.

... No wonder, in the Sky Age, the elves chose to enter the giant enterprise mode.

Because from the very beginning, elves are equivalent to the "directors" of the world.

Therefore, even though the barber didn't know the secrets of the elves at the time, the words he sprayed about those directors and companies could be perfectly applied to the elves...

From this perspective, Tovatus' position is even more subtle.

A... "director" who betrayed his class?

"Are you wondering," Tovatus said suddenly, "why am I different from them?"

"Yes."

The godfather paused, then nodded calmly.

He straightened his back and looked down into Torvatus' eyes.

The crimson eyes that always looked at the world jokingly became calm and deep at this moment.

"I need to know... why you became like this."

The godfather opened his mouth slowly, and said very seriously the words that made people feel incomprehensible: "If you don't know the answer to this matter, if you don't feel your sincerity, I can only think that you are playing me."
