Chapter 329: Chapter 327: Hehe, Let Me Teach Lord Rose Magic!
"Is this really the world from a thousand years ago?"
Hilia looked at the scene outside, utterly amazed.
Towering skyscrapers rose from the ground, and between them, dart-like sky cars flew swiftly.
Underground, roads crisscrossed, the streets were bustling with traffic and crowded with people.
Hilia could tell that everything, whether flying in the sky or running on the ground, did not use magic power. The unfamiliar girl couldn’t figure out how they moved, only finding it very magical.
She turned to Rose, "So, Mr. Rose, this must be a dream, right? Magical machines, trains, and flying devices that operate without magic power—they can only exist in dreams!"
Rose chuckled, "I think it’s you who’s dreaming about some so-called future a thousand years ahead, forgetting reality in your imaginative free-spirited state. You look hungry, let me treat you to something to eat."
With that, Rose took Hilia to a small diner by the street and ordered a few simple stir-fries.
Soon, all the dishes were served. Hilia looked at the plates unfamiliar to her usual meals, somewhat hesitant: "These..."
"Don’t you have these things a thousand years later? Do you usually only eat nutrient paste or something?"
"What’s nutrient paste?"
"How would I know? It’s said to be nutritious stuff extracted from cockroaches, tasteless but full of nutrients, like cheese... Look, that’s what I’m talking about, the cockroach."
Following Rose’s gaze, Hilia saw a thumb-sized black bug quickly scurrying across the corner of the wall.
Mage’s Hand flashed, and spiritual power turned into a thin line wrapping around the cockroach, bringing it into the air in front of her.
Hilia curiously examined the cockroach in front of her, "Can this be eaten? Let me try..."
She opened her mouth, about to eat the cockroach.
Rose quickly reached out to cover her mouth, "You can’t eat that, don’t eat randomly, put it down quickly, don’t let people know you have superpowers!"
"What is superpower?" Hilia asked, puzzled, but obediently released the cockroach.
Snap!
Rose stomped on the cockroach on the ground, flattening it with the sole of his shoe, sighing in relief.
Then he looked at Hilia, whispering, "It’s best not to use superpowers outside."
Hilia blinked, "So what is a superpower?"
"It’s the ability you used to make the cockroach float in front of you."
"That’s the Spirit Magic you taught me—Mage’s Hand!"
"I’m just an ordinary person, how could I teach you magic, let’s eat first!"
"Oh, okay."
Hilia watched Rose’s movements, clumsily using chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her eyes gradually lighting up.
"Wow, this dream can even simulate taste, so realistic!"
"I told you this is reality, you fool!"
"I’m not stupid, it’s just that Mr. Rose always treats me like a fool!"
This girl is still so stubborn; unconventional methods were needed.
The world, quietly, underwent subtle changes, changes Hilia didn’t notice.
Rose stared at her, "Do you mean the me from a thousand years later? Did something happen then? Was I still alive then? Tell me more, what happened to me a thousand years later?"
"A thousand years later, you are the Evil God," Hilia frowned slightly, feeling a bit confused.
Rose waved his hand, "I’m such a good young man, how could I become an Evil God... Are you back from a thousand years later to awaken my conscience or something?"
"Conscience..."
Hilia thought of Rose’s personality that enjoys watching the fun...
Does Mr. Rose really have something like ’conscience’?
Hilia carefully examined the Rose in front of her.
He didn’t differ much from the Evil God Rose, but his aura seemed very different. He had no traces of magic power, and his spiritual power was very weak, almost like an ordinary person...
He said I came from a thousand years later to save his conscience?
Could it be? Did I really travel back a thousand years in time?
But thinking of Rose’s personality that enjoys watching the fun, Hilia felt hesitant.
She decided to confirm: "Mr. Rose, do you believe in God?"
"God? Why would I believe in that stuff; the gods in legends only bring disaster, and only fools would believe in them."
"Legends of gods?" Hilia noted the keyword.
"Yes, I love reading mythological stories. In the stories, gods fought battles for faith, causing destruction to life, and later the Star Spirit Tree intervened and imprisoned the gods in the Divine Domain. As for what this Divine Domain is or if it exists, who knows."
"Star Spirit Tree!" Hilia’s eyes lit up, "Can you take me to see the Star Spirit Tree? Didn’t you ask where I’m from before? I live around the Star Spirit Tree."
"What’s the name, I’ll check."
"Star Ash Town."
"Let me see... I didn’t find a place by that name," Rose put down his phone, "You said you’re from a thousand years later, how could that town exist now."
"Oh, right. But is this really a thousand years ago? Is it not the dream you created for me?"
"A thousand years later, maybe I could, but me now..."
Rose spread his hands, "Do you see me, just an ordinary office worker, having the ability to do such a thing?"
Hilia frowned, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, a weak Ice Blade appeared, cutting into Rose’s arm and leaving a wound.
Huh?
Did it really break through Mr. Rose’s defenses?
No way?
Did I really come back a thousand years?
The girl was stunned.
"You..." Rose clutched his injured arm, shocked, falling from the chair and retreating a few steps, "Are you here for revenge?"
Hilia frantically stood up, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I just wanted to confirm, it was unintentional."
"Stay away from me!" Rose took another step back.
"I’ll heal you," the girl panicked, quickly using Healing Skill.
Under the glow of the Healing Skill, the wound quickly healed.
But by then, people in the restaurant were all looking over.
Rose stood up, grabbed Hilia, and ran outside.
"Run!"
"Huh? Why?"
"The Superpower Management Committee will catch any superpower user, what you call magic skills, who uses their powers without approval. You can’t get caught by them."
"Huh?"
"Just run with me."
"Oh, okay!"
Although Hilia didn’t know what was happening, she instinctively obediently followed.
ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(; ̄◇ ̄)┘
About ten minutes later, the two arrived at a park.
Rose panted, looking back at the calmly breathing Hilia, exclaiming, "What impressive physical capability; I wish I had superpowers too."
Seeing the panting Rose, a bold idea popped into Hilia’s mind.
Her heart raced with excitement, "Do you want to learn? I can teach you!"
"Huh? Can I learn?"
"٩(๑>◡<๑)۶ Of course you can!"
