Chapter 705 We are all lucky (Happy New Year)

"The Saint Nicholas civilization has a magic school and only one lineage can master it."

"There are quite a lot of mages, but they may not be the same as the mages you understand."

Bai Linglong also noticed Stephen's temporary change of title. She didn't deliberately expose it, but said with a smile.

This costume looked like that of a mage, and of course Bai Linglong recognized it immediately.

This man should be Stephen Strange, the Supreme Mage from the Nine Realms.

Different civilizations naturally have different understandings of mages.

Saint Nicholas and civilized mages may not have the most advanced magic, but they do not have the weakness of being too fragile that common mages in the universe have.

"What's the difference?"

Stephen asked immediately after hearing this.

"The mages of our Saint Nicholas civilization are not mages who specialize in magic."

"It's about having a strong physical body through biological transformation, and assisting in the awakening of magical abilities to become a strong person."

Bai Linglong heard the words and explained.

"Don't you have the weakness of being born with a weak body?"

"Then wouldn't it be possible to tell others that magic is my talent, but close combat is also my hobby?"

Stephen's eyes widened when he learned this, and he looked a little happy.

After joining the Void Cult, Stephen actually always wanted to say this.

It's just that the opponents encountered in the magic world on Blue Star are basically not strong and not very intelligent.

As a result, Stephen often wants to pretend to be aggressive, but because his opponent is not very intelligent, his pretending to be aggressive is simply incomprehensible to his opponent.

"Although magic is indeed a talent, Saint Nicholas would not say such a thing."

"Because when magic doesn't work at all, physical melee combat doesn't have much effect."

Bai Linglong couldn't understand Stephen's excitement, but she didn't completely dampen Stephen's interest, but explained some situations in detail.

At least in the world she has experienced, she has never seen any leader directly from the Bai family say anything like pretentiousness.

"All right."

Hearing this, Stephen also knew about his romantic thoughts about these mages, but Bai Linglong did not understand.

"Go in first and let's chat slowly."

Pepper saw them chatting and bragging, touched his hungry belly, and said.

"Okay, let's go in and chat slowly."

Tony responded immediately when he heard it.

A group of people walked directly into the canteen in a lively manner.

It usually seems a bit empty and not full of seats, but today it was indeed full and it looked extremely lively.

However, a few people went directly into the box.

Because Bai Linglong's appearance is completely based on human aesthetics, she has welcomed the friendship of Tony, Banner, Steve, Stephen, Paige and Pepper.

So we got along quickly.

As for Alex, there is not much difference at all.

A group of people sat together and talked about old times and what happened in the past year.

Bai Linglong listened on the sidelines, and now she knew that Alex was the overlord of the Mowgli civilization, and he was a very powerful one.

Mr. Tony and the others are busy integrating the affairs of various countries in Blue Star.

Tony also asked Lacey about some information about the universe.

"There's a lot going on in the Kree Empire."

"It seems that they are already a little restless and cannot watch the Void Cult continue to grow."

Tony learned that the Void Cult had faced off against the Kree Empire many times in the past six months and was thoughtful.

"It's just the ant's last struggle, don't worry about it."

Alex didn't care at all when he heard this.

"Well, those things will naturally be resolved by war when the time comes."

"On the contrary, Tony, when are you going to deal with Thanos?"

"If he is allowed to unite with the Kree Empire, it will still cause some trouble."

Lacey asked looking at Tony.

"Thanos is not a big threat, but uniting him with the Kree Empire may indeed become a problem."

"Next year, next year, Blue Star's status should be able to temporarily enter a stable stage."

"I will have some free time then to deal with other chores."

Tony heard Lacey's inquiry, thought about it, and gave an approximate time.

In Tony's eyes, dealing with Thanos is not as important as integrating mankind into a community with a shared future.

However, unsolved troubles, no matter how big or small, are always troubles, so we still need to solve them when they need to be solved.

It just so happened that next year he would let Thanos spend almost two years in fear, and it was time to take Thanos's life.

"Okay, you can tell us in advance when the time comes, and we will go over to watch the show and help you scan the formation to avoid any mistakes."

Kyle heard that he was going to deal with Thanos next year, and he also planned to go and take a look.

In fact, if possible, Kyle still wanted to take action directly. He wanted to see the gap between himself and the top powerhouses in the universe.

Although Thanos is not a big shot in their eyes, there is no doubt that Thanos's strength is at the top level in the universe, only below the top of the universe.

So it can be used as a goal to measure one's own strength.

However, Thanos has always been Blue Star's enemy, and while Tony and the others were able to cope with it, it was inconvenient for Kyle to intervene directly.

"I will definitely notify you. Although I have a lot of confidence, I am also afraid that the boat will capsize in the gutter."

Tony smiled without any politeness when he heard this.

In ordinary sparring, you should pay attention to fairness, but when it comes to fighting, you should pay attention to fairness. If you can fight in a group, you will never fight alone.

Especially when facing a strong man who looks down on the opponent's character, but has to admit that the opponent has considerable strength.

When one's own side can be surrounded and beaten, still choose to fight alone, that is not fair but stupid and arrogant.

"Is the Thanos you are talking about the infamous Thanos?"

Bai Linglong asked curiously after hearing this.

"Who else in the universe can be called Thanos besides him."

Tony nodded upon hearing this.

"If the enemies of the Void God Religion can be dealt with as soon as possible, then deal with them as soon as possible. Don't get into procrastination and cause more trouble for the Void God Religion."

"We are not afraid of Thanos, but many of our compatriots from the Void Cult may not be his opponents yet."

Alex was not interested in Thanos, but he reminded Tony not to be slow.

Anyone who dared to provoke him and the Void God Cult had basically died at his hands, and there was never any chance of spring grass growing again.

"Don't worry, I do things in a measured way. Thanos's life is no longer under his control."

"After I asked the foreseer to help me predict it, I decided to take it slow and let him suffer the torture of possibly dying at any time before solving it."

"After all, the evil he has done to the universe cannot be repaid by dying a hundred times."

Tony was certainly aware that Thanos posed some threat to them, but nothing that huge.

But facing many members of the Void Cult, if they bump into Thanos, they may not be able to defeat them and die directly.

But of course Tony couldn't be so arrogant and stupid.

"He has some strength and can do whatever he wants. He also has some plans and can distinguish what can be provoked and what cannot be provoked, so he has been wandering around in other galaxies outside the Andromeda Galaxy to cause destruction."

"Otherwise, it won't be our turn to take action, and we will be destroyed by the Xandar Empire or Mr. Odin."

Kyle heard this and said.

Mr. Odin deliberately disappeared for a period of time after passing the throne, and then rumors spread that Odin had died of old age, which allowed Thanos to dare to pursue the idea of ​​​​the Nine Infinity Stones.

Otherwise, even if Thanos was given a hundred courages, he probably would not dare to attack the Nine Realms while Odin was still alive and in a state where he could take action.

Because there is such a huge difference in strength, it is difficult for you to find the time to kill the strong man who towers over you.

All you can do is wait for the other person to die for other reasons.

To put it nicely, he has a very tolerant mentality, knows how to wait for opportunities, and is very strategic.

But if it sounds harsh, to put it bluntly, it means lack of strength and everything can only be left to fate.

Mr. Odin's strength is at the pinnacle of the universe, but he really couldn't survive the power of time before and was almost dead.

Just being revived by Lord Kassadin, then there is no possibility that everything Thanos planned can be achieved.

"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are nothing but clown-like behavior."

Alex said calmly after hearing this.

Bai Linglong felt that her views and ideas were completely different from those at this table.

Isn't Thanos the top powerhouse in the universe? There are so many civilizations and so many powerhouses in the universe that can't do anything to him.

But at this table, everyone talks about what they regard as fish on the chopping board, and discusses when to kill it.

However, in addition to Thor, the God of Thunder, this table also gathered seven top powerhouses from the Void Cult. It is understandable that they would be so bold.

Since we were returning from the New Year's pilgrimage, everyone had dedicated some time.

So after a group of people chatted a lot, Alex asked Bai Linglong when he would have time to talk about the test.

"I have it now, but I don't know if any of you adults have it."

Bai Linglong had no problem if she didn't practice for a day. She lived a very free and relaxed life on the island.

"Since you have time now, let's talk directly."

"It's still early in the morning, and after listening to the evening, it will be enough time for us to deal with some things."

Tony heard this and spoke.

The preparation he was talking about was naturally preparing money and catching up with other members of the island.

"Let's go catch up with others first, and you guys can talk first."

Kyle already understood it, although he didn't mind listening to it again, because the story was not as boring as Bai Linglong said.

It's just that there are a lot of people coming back today. In addition to talking to Alex about recent events, they also want to meet and chat with others for a while.

Lacey saw that Tony and the others liked Bai Linglong very much, and they got along very harmoniously.

What's more important is that Alex didn't embarrass Bai Linglong, so he didn't stay to watch the scene.

"Yes, yes, but can you wait for me? I'll ask Mr. Nikrov if they have arrived."

"If they arrive too, they can finish it all at once."

Bai Linglong didn't have any objections, she just wanted people who were interested to listen.

"As for Madam Butterfly and Niklov, they have just returned."

"They are sitting and chatting with Star-Lord, Golden Rakshasa, and Black Luo San in the cafeteria hall."

"Let me inform them for you."

Lacey heard this and spoke.

Madam Butterfly still has a problem, that is, she likes to report her itinerary.

So as early as an hour ago, Madam Butterfly had informed her that she had arrived at Void Island and met with Star-Lord and Golden Rakshasa.

Of course Madame Butterfly likes to do this, and Lacey won't say anything.

In addition to Nikrov, the second person Madam Butterfly relies on on Void Island is her former boss.

As the former boss, it is necessary to take care of Madam Butterfly a little bit.

Then Lacey left the box directly and instantly appeared in front of Nikrov and others who were dining and chatting in the hall downstairs.

"Lady Lacey."

When Nikrov and Lady Butterfly saw Lacey, they shouted in respect.

"Miss Bai Linglong plans to talk about some of the things she experienced during the test."

"Are you free now? If you are free, go over and listen together."

"It also has some benefits for your future mental training."

Lacey said directly without any nonsense.

The mood benefits are no joke.

Because knowing the hardships Bai Linglong has endured, we can better understand the importance of mental tempering.

If I encounter certain choices in the future, I will be able to better understand how to make choices.

"Okay, tomorrow is the official New Year's pilgrimage anyway."

"I'm quite free today."

After hearing this, Nikrov agreed immediately.

"Can I ask who's in there?"

Madam Butterfly knew that Lady Lacey was talking about going over together to listen, not that Miss Bai Linglong was free now. They could go over and ask and then listen, which would prove that there should be other people inside.

"You know it all, Alex, Tony and the others."

Lacey said casually after hearing this.

"I asked why I didn't see Mr. Tony. He was in the box."

"But why did you choose to go to the private room?"

When Star-Lord heard that there were people in the box, he suddenly realized.

"You just go."

"I'm going to visit some houses first."

Lacey did not give a specific reason, but left a sentence and left directly.

"The two of us have already heard about it, so let's go visit the seniors."

"You go ahead."

Jin Luosha and Hei Luo San also separated from Xing Lord and the others first.

Although they can't stay on Void Island permanently, they can stay in group communities.

Therefore, I established a good relationship with my compatriots from various Void Cults in the group community and had lively chats.

When I come back, I definitely want to meet him directly.

I just ran into Mr. Niklov and Her Majesty the Queen, and I prioritized catching up with them.

Star-Lord, Niklov, and Madam Butterfly went directly upstairs.

There is no need to ask where they are specifically, because Nikrov knows where Lady Lacey suddenly appeared from.

The three of them looked at the people in the box and found that they all knew each other.

But with Alex sitting inside, the three of them still felt a little bit of pressure.

"You can sit down wherever you want, and feel free to eat and drink whatever you want."

"I'll pay for it today."

Tony said with a smile when he saw Star-Lord, Nickrov and Lady Butterfly arriving.

Although he doesn't have much money at his disposal, so he can't throw a big banquet, but he still doesn't have any pressure to pay for it occasionally.

"Then we won't be polite."

Star-Lord sat down immediately when he heard that food and drinks were provided and stories were being listened to.

Madam Butterfly sat down next to Nikrov.

"It will take about eight hours. Please listen slowly."

"The trials I have endured..."

After Bai Linglong saw them taking their seats one after another, she explained the time and then started.

A group of people present ate and drank while listening to Bai Linglong describe the hardships she had endured.

But just at the beginning, when they talked about what reincarnation meant, the faces of everyone present became solemn.

Although many people present are strong men, many are not fifty-eight years old.

Bai Linglong spent fifty-eight real and dangerous years in the test.

A group of them also learned some of the unique culture and cruelty of the Saint Nicholas civilization from Bai Linglong's mouth.

Stephen also understood what Bai Linglong said about the differences between the mages of the Saint Nicholas civilization and the regular mages of the universe.

Because although Bai Linglong has simplified many processes and talked about many things in just a few words, she still showed them an extremely real world.

Let them understand how lucky they are.

Star-Lord took a deep breath when he heard that he had unknowingly sunk into it, forgetting everything about his previous life.

He thought that his test was already relatively difficult, and he needed to maintain devout prayers for two years.

But compared with Bai Linglong's meeting with Lord Kassadin, which was a formal test that allowed for conversation and was a distraction.

His test is a bit of mental torture, but as long as he prevents himself from being affected by the will of others and fully understands his own mind, he can pass it safely and live a very happy life on the island.

Bai Linglong has forgotten a lot of memories, and has been tested in the world she had dreamed of. There are blessings but also torture on the road to growth.

The scariest thing is that around the age of thirty, you have already forgotten everything without even realizing it.

Just thinking about that situation makes me feel hopeless, and I have no idea how to pass the test.

Alex originally felt quite envious because of the test of Golden Rakshasa and Black Luo San.

If it were Lix, he was confident that he would pass, but although he hadn't finished listening to Bai Linglong's test, he already felt unsure.

Because you don't know that this is a test, this level will definitely test your will, but more of you may need some luck.

Lack of luck will directly lead you through life in trials.

Then when he thought he was about to die, he woke up from a dream and found that everything he had experienced was just the world built by Lord Kassadin for himself. ,

All the relatives, the relationships established in that life, or the goals of a lifetime of hard work, are all equivalent to that moment of nothingness.

Just thinking about it is enough to make people feel desperate and miserable.

"Sure enough, you can pass the test set by Lord Kassadin. There is no doubt about your will."

So Alex expressed his praise without any stinginess.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Bai Linglong said with a smile upon hearing this.

Then Bai Linglong continued to chat, talking about how she had accepted the living method given by the Bai family, and had been in a state of confusion for more than 20 years, until the moment when her memory was awakened again.

Finally, she talked about the evaluation given to her by Lord Kassadin.

"This is the overall picture of the test."

Bai Linglong didn't say that she had withstood two tests, but one, because her original intention behind it was clear, and as long as she was not greedy, she was out of danger.

The worst-case scenario is that she can't get any more power from the Dark Star of the Void. She is lucky, so she happened to pass it smoothly.

"It sounds like it's not very interesting, but it's scary."

"Thank you for being able to seize that almost slim chance and successfully pass the test."

After Tony heard everything, even though he was not a witness, he said with some lingering fear after putting himself in someone else's shoes.

This kind of test may be what some people dream of, because no matter how bad it is, they can still live the life they dream of during the test.

But for those of them who have been blessed by the void.

They have begun to move towards the world of their dreams.

Of course, Tony also has some thoughts, that is, he hopes to see his parents again, apologize to them and get back together.

However, history has been created and it has become a regret. It can be remembered but there is no need to fight for it.

Because the person he cares about now and cannot live up to is right next to him. If he ignores the latter for the sake of the former, it will always become a shortcoming again.

Bai Linglong's passing the test has a lot to do with luck.

Once I miss the age of fifty-eight, I will see Jin Luosha and Hei Luo San after many years.

Maybe you have forgotten everything and can no longer awaken your memory to pass the test.

"Lord Kassadin also said that I am lucky."

Bai Linglong didn't deny it when she heard this, because she also knew that if she didn't have enough luck, she would have to sink into it for thousands of years.

"After listening to this, I feel like we are all lucky people."

Pepper was also a little emotional.

She belongs to the situation where Tony was noticed by Master Cassadine for his talent, and then Tony asked for help.

After persuading her, she believed Tony and successfully received the blessing to join the Void Cult.

Pepper generally knew how others were tested.

Therefore, compared with people like Bai Linglong who have passed formal and dangerous tests and received blessings, they are all lucky ones.

"The test is indeed dangerous, but if you can survive it, you will gain a lot."

“Everything you learn in a testing world, you bring it all back to reality.”

Stephen now also understands why Bai Linglong said that he only practiced some magic, but he didn't know much anymore.

In fact, in a world where Bai Linglong is under trial, playing magic is a show.

Because Bai Linglong has talked about some of the battles in her rise.

As the most outstanding female leader in the Bai family, her control over magic is also top-notch.

It's just that even so, it's a pity that we failed in the top eight in the battle of heroes.

The bio-modification technology of the Saint Nicholas civilization is truly terrifying, and can almost mass-produce planet-level powerhouses.

This is completely unimaginable for the human civilization of Blue Star today.

Karma Taj has taught various magic masters, and their strength is not weak, but it is impossible to directly reach the planet level in large numbers.

Happy New Year
