"Ah, I'm looking forward to that day very much." He said softly.

"Ha," Thales felt a little uncomfortable under the strange gaze of the other party and had to turn his attention back to the chess game: "Just wait, I will succeed..."

But Acida interrupted him.

"No."

"What I'm looking forward to, Thales," he shook his finger, still staring at the prince strangely, "is not your final success."

The magician's tone changed, strange and gloomy:

"But you are caught between magicians and humans, between disaster and the world..."

"Caught between one's own essence and the gaze of others, between the inescapable future and the inescapable past..."

"In the end, I was torn apart by contradictions, destroyed by conflicts, and swallowed by regrets..."

"A future that finally compromises with us."

The two sections of the chessboard fell into silence again.

There were only two people left looking at each other.

Thales suppressed the twitching of his face and stared at Asheda for three full seconds before embarrassingly uttering two words:

"Thanks."

It's really a reassuring comfort.

"If on that day, you see a new way out in a new vision, a direction that only you can control," Aixida didn't finish her words, he said softly: "Don't hesitate anymore, accept yourself, and seize the opportunity."

Stay at the rudder that turns your destiny around."

The magician's gaze was like two sharp swords, piercing into Thales' pupils.

"Remember my words."

"Word by word."

"Engraved in your heart."

"Tiles Bright Star."

The prince let out a long sigh of relief, feeling extremely embarrassed and not knowing how to react.

Engraved in your heart?

this……

"Ah, there is another question," Thales laughed dryly and raised his finger unnaturally: "How were b and his five companions defeated? Where are they now?"

"One of them has been sealed by you," Aixida answered the question very simply: "The ending of the others more than 600 years ago was probably similar..."

seal.

Thales shook his hand and thought of the lovely and terrifying terrifying girl, and the scene where she finally turned into ashes and disappeared.

At that moment, the magician lowered his voice and seemed a little lonely: "Otherwise, the world would probably not be what it is today."

Asheida shook her head: "During those days of the End War, I felt the number of knocks on the door was almost as many as breathing,"

It's like you need to breathe.

Thales secretly cursed.

"If one day, people from B come to you, please remember," Aixida raised her head and nodded to him: "They are almost all madmen."

"Maybe not necessarily your enemy, but definitely not your friend. Think about Giza."

Thales lowered his head and thought deeply.

"So, you're not one of them?"

"No, it's not."

"Several people, including me, think b's response methods are too drastic and call them 'radicals'," Aixida snorted softly: "Correspondingly, we are called 'moderates' by them, which is even more unpleasant.

title."

Radical.

The gentle one.

Thales thought of the confrontation and quarrel between Asheida and Giza in the shield area, and felt a little enlightened.

"The radicals and the moderates...the magicians are divided into two factions, opposing each other?"

"If only it were that simple." Aixida shook her head again.

"The moderates are not a unified and orderly camp that advances and retreats together like the radicals. We are just a group of scattered magicians who refuse to choose war."

"Even after the war, we were all scattered, fighting on our own."

Aixida held the chess piece in her hand, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

"And the radicals' real opponents..."

"In the final battle, there are two more magic masters," the magic master said calmly: "They chose to stand on the other side of the battlefield, facing and confronting B and his followers, whether they are magic masters or ordinary people."

"Six against two, that's what war was like at one time."

Thales took a deep breath and suddenly felt enlightened.

I see.

Two magicians who stand up for the world.

Confront the radicals.

The books in Nekaru's library, the disasters that the little girl said were "on our side"...

It turned out to be...

"Queen."

Thales spit out a strange word.

This time, it was Aixida's turn to raise her eyebrows and move her face slightly.

"You know them?"

Thales raised his head and looked at Asheida with affirmative eyes.

"They are two queens, right? There has never been the so-called title of 'Queen' in the history of the Ancient Empire and the Final Empire, but I can always hear this word on various occasions, and it has been mentioned once or twice in books,"

Thales recalled the few occasions when he heard this word, "Even some of the great nobles in the two countries knew that their existence sounded superior."

"So, the so-called Queen is actually a magician," Thales tentatively said: "They are magicians who stood on the side of the world in the end war. They helped us. I mean they stood on the side of the world and defeated

The radicals headed by b enjoy a transcendent status and are even called queens."

Thales breathed out: "So, there are actually magic masters who can coexist peacefully with the world, right?"

However, when he finished speaking, he found Aixida looking at him intriguingly.

Thales stared: What?

Until Asheida shook her head again.

"No." He denied Thales' words coldly.

This made the prince stunned.

wrong?

But the Queen...

"Those two magicians standing on the other side of the battlefield thought that they were still members of the human race."

"So we have been opposing the radicals from beginning to end," Asheida shook her head and sighed: "They are just two poor people who confuse the past with the current situation."

"We usually call them 'confusers.'"

Confused?

Thales hid this word in his heart.

Do you think...that you are a human magician?

Thales' expression was calm, but there was a big question mark in his heart.

But Asheida didn't stop here. It seemed that the confuser was just a small interlude. She only heard the magician continue:

"As for the two queens you mentioned..."

At that moment, Aixida suddenly clenched her fists!

"clatter!"

Amidst the crisp sound, a red king suddenly jumped up on the chessboard, took three steps on the cleared chess path, and knocked a knight out of the chessboard!

Thales frowned.

"...It's a worse existence." It was only then that Aixida's words reached her ears.
