Chapter 41 Illusion
Although he desperately wanted to help Corwin out of guilt, Heimerdinger did not act impulsively.
He recalled Victor's past performance in his mind, and also recalled the past conversations between the two of them.
After a while, Heimerdinger nodded to Coven: "He should be a child with a heart. I have no problem with it. I agreed to let him participate in this matter. But Mr. Quinn, the specifics remain to be seen." Victor’s own choice.”
"this is necessary."
Ke Wen nodded: "Can you please call him over?"
"Ah, of course."
Heimerdinger responded as he stood up from his high chair.
He supported the desk with his left hand, stretched his right hand to the edge of the long table and pressed a button.
"alright."
Heimerdinger retracted his short hand and sat back down: "Wait a moment, I have activated the call bell for his teaching assistant's office, he should be here soon."
Corwin nodded again.
The two of them didn't have to wait long. In less than two minutes, there was a knock on the door of the dean's office.
Heimerdinger invites someone in.
The door was pushed open, and a thin young man wearing a gray waiter's suit walked into the office.
"Mr. Dean."
The young man greeted him respectfully and nodded kindly to Ke Wen, who was looking back at him.
"Come in Victor."
Heimerdinger beckoned: "There is a great plan here for you to consider whether to participate in."
"What's the plan, Mr. Dean?"
Victor walked into the room and closed the door. He leaned on a cane with his right hand and limped closer to the desk.
Ke Wen looked at the other person the whole time, and he saw a deep sense of twilight in Victor.
When the other party came closer, Ke Wen raised his hand and pointed towards the corner.
A seat automatically slid along the ground and stopped behind Victor.
Heimerdinger and Victor were stunned.
After a short moment, Heimerdinger suddenly jumped up from the chair.
He stared closely at Coven and exclaimed: "Magic?!"
"Trick." Corwin responded with a smile.
"No!"
Heimerdinger looked solemn: "I'm sure! That's magic! Even though it's the most elementary level! So Mr. Quinn, you are actually a magician?!"
"Okay..." Ke Wen shrugged his shoulders: "I am, but I basically don't use it very much."
"you……"
Heimerdinger wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he changed his statement.
He asked Coven: "How long have you been in Zaun?!"
"It's been almost six years." Ke Wen replied warmly: "I happened to travel here during the bridge rushing movement, so I adopted two little girls who lost their relatives on the bridge and raised them in Dicheng. .”
"I see……"
Heimerdinger breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in praise: "I believe you. I believe you are different from the magicians I imagined. If I haven't heard any news about magic for more than five years, then you must be like you." No magic was used like that."
"That's good!" He said with a slight sigh: "Magic is a very dangerous thing! It's best not to face it, and even if you master it, it's best not to use it!"
"Should we get back to the topic?"
Ke Wen pointed to Victor, who was still confused: "This kid is still confused."
"child?"
Heimerdinger hit the mark.
He tilted his head and looked at Ke Wen again: "May I ask, how old are you this year?"
"I don't remember." Ke Wen smiled and shook his head: "I'm older than you anyway."
"Uh...ahem..."
Heimerdinger immediately ended the topic. He said to Victor: "Victor, this is it. Mr. Quinn has brought a plan. We feel that it is most appropriate for you to participate. The plan is like this." …”
He recounted Ke Wen's plan and explained that he was only suitable for assisting in secret.
After spending a lot of time telling the story, Heimerdinger immediately asked Victor to help him go to the corner and pour three glasses of water.
After signaling to Coven and Victor to help themselves, Heimerdinger drank the entire glass of water in one gulp.
Then he asked Victor: "How is it? Do you understand everything?"
"Yes, Mr. Dean."
Victor looked at Ke Wen with excitement, and then nodded heavily to Heimerdinger: "Thank you, Mr. Dean! I am willing! I am willing to participate in this plan!"
"very good."
Heimerdinger stroked his furry beard and smiled: "Don't worry, kid, I will support you as much as possible."
After finishing speaking, he asked Ke Wen: "Can you tell me now? I basically have a clue about the technologies required in the plan, but what is the most critical thing? Energy and funding issues?"
Spreading his hands, Heimerdinger helplessly laughed at himself: "I have forgotten to save money over the years. As you said, I am so irresponsible and have never thought about saving money to help Zaun solve any problems, so I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do financially.”
"What about you?" Heimerdinger asked: "Regarding the initial funding issue, do you have any plans?"
"this."
Ke Wen flipped his palm, and a completed Hex Crystal suddenly appeared in his palm.
"This is...this is..."
Heimerdinger jumped to his feet again.
This time he jumped directly onto the table and grabbed a pair of goggles from the side.
After putting on the goggles, Heimerdinger adjusted the function of the multi-functional goggles and added a magnifying glass to the outside of his left eye.
"Can you show me?" he asked expectantly, staring at the crystal in Coven's hand.
"certainly."
Coven handed the crystal to the other party.
Heimerdinger examined it carefully for a moment, adjusting the magnification of the magnifying glass from time to time.
Soon, he finally saw clearly the magic runes inside the crystal.
A suppressed exclamation sounded!
Heimerdinger almost dropped the crystal as if his hand had been burned!
But he immediately thought of the problem of energy stability, so he hurriedly moved his hands and held the crystal in his small hands again.
Dongdong's heartbeat echoed in the office!
Heimerdinger cautiously breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted anxiously to Ke Wen: "God! This is a magical creation!
! How could you take out such a dangerous thing!
"
"Don't worry, Datou, it's safe."
Ke Wen said smoothly and unconsciously called out Heimerdinger's nickname.
This time it was not so easy to cover up.
Heimerdinger immediately corrected himself depressingly: "Don't give people random nicknames! Even if you are older than me! You can call me by my first or last name."
Ke Wen smiled guiltily and pressed his palms.
He diverted the other party's attention, pointed at the crystal and said, "Let's talk about it first. It is a technological creation that uses technical means to achieve magical effects. As long as the principle is known, ordinary people can create it."
"Technology?!" Heimerdinger was surprised.
"That's right." Ke Wen responded: "The essence is magic, but the process of realizing it is too simple, so simple that it looks like a technological means."
"No no no! Stop it!"
Heimerdinger held the crystal and shook his head: "Whether it is technology or magic, let's stop here! You are a magician, and you should know how dangerous magic is! So this is definitely not possible!"
As he spoke, Heimerdinger was suddenly startled again.
"Wait! Wait a minute!"
He held up his fingers and made a gesture of lowering his head to remember.
Soon, he raised his head and said in surprise: "Technology controls magic?! That child's project of Jess Tallis?!"
"It's him."
Corwin didn't deny it.
Of course, he would not admit to plagiarizing Jace Tallis's work.
So he started making up stories.
"I found out the day it exploded."
Coven said: "I sensed arcane energy and quietly went to the bombed room to check. I found a semi-finished crystal inside."
Pointing to the crystal in Heimerdinger's hand: "I have to say that that young man's idea is very groundbreaking, but he has never been exposed to magic. If he continues, it will not be good for him or the entire Pilvoorv." It’s too dangerous.”
"Right, right?!" Heimerdinger nodded in agreement: "Arcane magic is too dangerous! It is not accessible to ordinary people at all!"
Ke Wen smiled: "But I followed the young man's idea and modified it, so the enchanted item in your hand appeared, a magical enchanted item that can be synthesized by ordinary people."
"Jesus!"
Heimerdinger covered his forehead: "Why did the topic come back again... Mr. Quinn, I'm sorry, I can never agree with your plan, and I can never let magic appear here!"
"Mr. Dean?"
Victor interrupted somewhat abruptly.
Because he saw the possibility of realizing his dream from Coven's plan, he did not want that plan to fail.
So he tentatively said: "I don't know how dangerous magic is, but Mr. Dean, your attitude is simply not like that of a scientist. You are afraid of escaping and have no spirit of exploring the unknown."
"Because I've experienced it! I've witnessed it with my own eyes!"
A look of fear and despair flashed through his big eyes, and Heimerdinger's big ears drooped completely and stuck to his head.
His voice was a little distant: "Believe me, my child! You absolutely don't want to see that scene of purgatory on earth! And that purgatory is caused by magic..."
Heimerdinger sat weakly on the table.
He shook his head and sighed: "The reason why Zaun was established by me and my original colleagues was to avoid magic, and to build a peaceful place without magic at all. We..."
"Please forgive me for interrupting."
Coven suddenly interrupted: "Heimerdinger, I am a magician, and a magician who can predict, so there are some things you might as well take a look at."
"What are you looking at?" Heimerdinger failed to suppress his curiosity and looked up at Kewen again.
Ke Wen is not verbose either.
He raised his fingertips to create an illusion.
The illusion enveloped the entire office, causing the three people to suddenly arrive in another place.
The surrounding area became the ruins of a large building.
Before Heimerdinger and Victor could panic, a sound of footsteps suddenly appeared from the door of the ruins.
The echo of footsteps was very hollow, and it was also mixed with a strange whistling sound that made people dizzy.
Soon, a figure shrouded in a miserable green mist appeared in front of the three of them.
The other party was holding a lantern that was also pale green, and in the other hand was a chain sickle.
Looking at its appearance, it turned out to be a skeletal undead with three vertebra-like horns!
Heimerdinger was able to maintain his composure.
Victor, on the other hand, had already stood up in fear and kept retreating until he hit an invisible wall and pressed himself tightly against it.
At this time, the undead, whose body was emitting green light from the inside out, walked up to the hilt of a sword.
Carrying the lantern and sickle behind his back, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the long sword that was pierced deeply into the stone platform.
The next moment, the undead suddenly pulled out the long sword from the stone platform with force.
Countless souls suddenly flew out from the long sword, and surrounded the entire hall with howling sounds of ghosts and wolves.
The vision suddenly turned into a ghost.
At this moment, Ke Wen's voice sounded: "It is the 'Soul Locking Warden' from Shadow Island, and what it is releasing is an ancient undead with an emperor's status."
With that said, Kewen raised his hand and showed Heimerdinger and Victor the scene of the undead army of Lord Buddha, the ruined king of Foego, invading the world.
He did not broadcast the results of the invasion, but waved again while Heimerdinger and Victor were stiff.
Corwin suddenly changed the content of the vision.
This time, he's playing the origins of the Furima Empire.
Coven used a montage technique to create fantasy content, and played the story of the 'Nurimar Empire' against the void invasion for Heimerdinger and Victor.
After it felt like the two of them had almost understood the history of Furima, Kewen suddenly jumped to the screen again.
The scene before Heimerdinger and Victor has turned into another invasion of void creatures.
Coven specially played a video of Piervot being invaded.
Then he flashed and showed some scenes of other countries being invaded.
With a final wave of his hand, Ke Wen made all the illusions disappear, and the environment around the three of them changed back to the office.
As the picture disappeared, two violent gasps suddenly sounded!
Heimerdinger and Victor, who had not dared to breathe loudly for a long time, were finally free. They took big mouthfuls of air!
After a while, Heimerdinger took out his handkerchief and wiped the lint on his face.
The handkerchief quickly became soaked.
Looking down at the handkerchief that was no longer absorbent, Heimerdinger feebly put it aside.
He looked up at Ke Wen and asked with a trembling voice: "Those pictures...most of them are from the future, right?!"
"Yes."
Ke Wen nodded: "So, have you changed your mind? Are you still going to stop Zaun's development because of fear of magic?"
Heimerdinger had no immediate answer.
He raised his short hands and used his fingers to comb the sticky fluff on his face to dissipate heat.
After a while, he asked in a deep voice: "In your prediction, will this crystal bring danger to this place?!"
"Absolutely not."
Coven smiled, knowing that Heimerdinger would no longer be blocking anything...
