"You're talking about you, which means that all of your problems lie in the mana pool?"
"I'm not sure about this. I just judged based on my situation." Cynthia said, "We don't even know what magic we are learning, let alone the specific problem."
"Okay, then I have another question." Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "The ones you mentioned about the mana pool accumulation..."
"You can call them ether, different types of ether. This term is also used in science, but it has some different meanings from magic. There are many kinds of ether, and each ether actually corresponds to the corresponding... How Say? God?"
"God?"
"Yes, that's what my father taught me. Ether is a very magical thing. It is not a consumable. Do you understand? A magician is equivalent to a refining furnace and can generate the corresponding ether in himself. Of course, by calling the already existing ether in the air, There is no problem with the existing ether. When releasing a magic, it is equivalent to releasing the ether into the air. And my father told us that it does not matter if one or two people learn magic, but the reason why magic cannot be spread to others is because once someone If the ether content exceeds the critical value, it will definitely trigger the awareness of the corresponding gods."
"It triggered awareness... so what?"
"Father said that gods are not transcendent existences, but also a form of life. Therefore, just as excessive intake of certain elements in our bodies causes physical discomfort, gods will also feel uncomfortable. The difference is that gods can Directly see the location of the lesions and take targeted measures. For magicians of our level, as long as the number of the same type does not exceed a hundred, there will probably be no problem." Cynthia didn't care about this, " There are fifty-nine known types of ether, and there are simply not that many magicians in the world."
"No...you mean, there can't be more than a hundred of each type in the world?" Lu Ning asked.
"Yes, considering the size of the earth." Cynthia said, "What's wrong? The ether will also spread like air, and it must gather for a long period of time -"
At this point, Cynthia's voice suddenly stopped and her eyes widened slightly.
Lu Ning pointed to the sky.
"That seems to be the case now."
The storm that enveloped the island made it impossible to communicate with the outside world, as if there was an invisible cover covering the entire island.
"If the whole world can only accommodate a hundred magicians of the same kind, how many can... be accommodated on this small island?"
When Lu Ning said this, she was thinking about what Watanabe Fuchiko said about the last scene she saw on the island. Countless eyes in the sky stared at the Eight Eyes Island, as if the end was coming.
"Could it be——"
"There is no doubt that I am now convinced that Rennix has indeed prepared some shocking methods." Lu Ning crossed her fingers and put them on her knees, staring at Cynthia and said, "He intends to attract the attention of the gods, so what is his purpose? ?According to what you said, the attention of gods can only lead to the end of destruction, and before that, he himself has already embarked on the path of death."
"Father, he..." Cynthia was speechless for a moment, because her reason reminded her that what Lu Ning said was correct.
"You don't need to say anything. We all know that Rennix is not a person who goes to death without a plan. The most likely guess now is that he has prepared some kind of resurrection method, and this method can even be compared with the god you talk about. Make contact." Lu Ning said, "I agree that we join forces, Cynthia. Because the problem seems very serious. If we don't cooperate, we may become victims under the eyes of the gods. I didn't come to this island to die. .”
"Yes, wait, I need to discuss it with Huo Yinglong. I can't make such a big decision alone, and Mayuri should also know about it." Cynthia stood up, picked up the shotgun, and paused again when she walked to the door. After a moment, "Thank you for the reminder, doctor. If we can go back alive this time, I will make friends with you."
"Usually saying things like this doesn't end well." Lu Ning said.
"It's all about human effort."
Lu Ning waited until Cynthia went out before her expression darkened.
There are a lot of problems with this scene. Anyone can dig up this kind of information, and this seems to be a part that Cynthia thinks can be explained to the public at a superficial level.
I don’t know if any of the seven children will act as tourists this time, and perhaps more important information can be obtained. But Lu Ning didn't know what background he had to rely on.
The key is not who the tourists play, but that everyone needs to follow the trajectory of the original role, and then the tourists dig out the story behind it? In this case, every time a tourist plays the role, it is equivalent to losing the opportunity to understand a character. The role of Lu Ning has been missed twice.
There is another thing that deserves attention, and that is the existence of superpowers that Cynthia ignored.

"Uncle Gustave, you should understand what we are thinking."
On the other side, Felicia and Dimitri found Gustav.
"Ambition is not a problem. Rennix hopes to cultivate your ambition. But you must have strength. I am not a will acceptor." Gustav said coldly.
"We don't have this idea either. Mr. Gustave, no one wants to see my father die. After all, he has so much magic. In theory, no one can kill him." Dimitri said.
"Theoretically... haha." Gustav heard the implication of this sentence, but ignored it.
"You are also involved in magic, and we should be the same." Felicia followed, "We can't let this magic succeed, but being a temporary patriarch is not enough. You must be a formal patriarch to truly control the Howard family. wealth!"
"Huh... Rennix said something to you, right?" Gustav took his hand out of his pocket and held a black card in his hand. "Is that why you are so anxious? But what if it was me? If you do, you will ignore every word he says and think about what you really need to do. Cooperate and wait until you have shown enough strength."
After letting the two people leave, Gustav Watanabe Fuchiko was quite happy to see the results of the current situation.
She didn't know what the specific deal was in the Howard family, but based on her experience as Bayleaf in the last round and her performance in this round, it was only a matter of time before these Howard children would fight with each other. Their little thoughts are almost undisguised.
Apart from the superficial harmony, there is no family affection between them. But in this way, as the level of madness increases, Gustav will definitely make corresponding preparations. She herself cannot use Gustave's magic, and can only rely on influencing the external environment to adjust Gustave's judgment in a non-controlling state.
What she mainly wants to study now is the ending of the previous round.
The identity of the scarlet star that appeared from the sky has not yet been clarified, but what surprised Watanabe the most was that almost three hours passed between the time her body began to feel uncomfortable and she died completely. In the past three hours, in addition to playing a few drift bottle pranks, she was also thinking about this somewhat weird situation.
The final conditions of Bayleaf and Mayuri Daida were both physical bleeding. From the beginning of vomiting blood to the whole body starting to ooze blood, this process was relatively long, but the pain was relatively not that great. However, during the process, Watanabe Fuchiko went to check the main museum and found the bodies of Delores and Makailov.
Yu Guiting and Zhai Jingqiu probably died outside the main hall, but the death state of Delores and Makailov sheds some light on some problems. There were large areas of blood marks on the hearts of both of them. After tearing open their clothes, you could see fine honeycomb-shaped wounds. This was not an injury that could be caused by any common weapon. At the same time, the clothes themselves showed no signs of damage.
Now that it has been confirmed that Sora Tsuburaya and Asaka Shinnomiya played these two people, how were they killed? In that situation, she, Lavender, and Jasmine walked together almost the whole time. Mayuri Daida fainted in the kitchen, leaving only Lian Qingyi and Justina who had time to take action. But Watanabe Fuchiko felt something was wrong intuitively. Justina was not played by anyone, while Lian Qingyi was played by Yu Guiting. Can one tourist handle two tourists at the same time? And Justina was even killed by herself without any resistance. Is it possible to kill these two people?
There are other people on the island.
Or maybe not human.
Watanabe Fuchiko thought carefully about the last scene. Although the change in the sky did not appear until the end, the actual madness had already begun. How did Yu Guiting and Zhai Jingqiu die outside? Jack Swan was killed by her, and the only two people who could be in an unknown state outside were Escher and Kagabo, who had disappeared early. Does the disappearance of these two people actually mean that they are the murderers?
But this time, Escher died and left a body behind.
Comparing what happened in the two rounds, there are really some weird puzzles that need to be figured out. As for inheritance, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a specific physical object.
Watanabe Fuchiko walked into the kitchen, tore open a pack of bacon and prepared to make a simple meal.
"Um?"
The moment she felt something aura, she let go of her control on Gustav.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Gustave would cook the food himself."
"You shouldn't be surprised by this, Justina." Gustave turned his head and looked at the person who came to the kitchen door, "Would you like one?"
"Your tastes are all heavy on oil and salt, which doesn't suit me." Justina said with a smile, "I just didn't expect it. When was the last time I saw you cooking? When we went on vacation?"
"At that time, Rennix's health didn't have so many problems." Gustave poured the bacon and eggs from the pot into the dinner plate. "The situation now is very wrong, Justina. Maybe Rennix practiced what he did." Then tell me what you want to do.”
"No matter how smart a person is, he will make stupid choices when faced with life and death, and Rennix is no exception." Justina opened a can of porridge and said softly, "And he did not hesitate to involve us in it. "
"Then there's no need to blame him harshly, because we also made the same mistake." Gustav said slowly, "Didn't you and I also come here for something that Rennix has? Since we took the risk , then you should also know that Renix has a lot of dangerous research."
"That's right." Justina stared at the porridge in the pot, waiting for it to boil. "Gustave, we can't sit still and wait for death, can we?"
"of course……"
Gustave took the knife and fork, put the tip of the knife on the bacon, picked up a little grease, and then pierced the half-boiled omelette, picking out part of the yolk and white.
"Water, meat, oil and protein." Gustav murmured in a low voice, "Materials completed, construct the spell."
A flash of light flashed around his waist, and under the influence of subtle magic, the things on the dinner plate suddenly squirmed, and the specially selected parts began to combine, and then turned into a small insect in a mixed state. , jumped off the dinner plate and climbed out the door.
And Justina waited until the porridge in the pot began to boil and the mist floated from above, then she opened her hand and grabbed a handful of it, and a ball of water vapor was caught in her palm.
"Go ahead."
On the bracelet she was wearing, a gem appeared cracked, and then the water vapor floated up, turned into a cube, and floated out through the window.
"You and I have our suspicions," Gustav said. "Linewood looks very much like the one who took the shot."
"But the more similar he is, the lighter his suspicion is. As long as he doesn't die, the position of temporary clan leader will definitely be his. There is no need for Lanewood to prepare such a method in front of so many experts, but I think... hmm." Stina suddenly paused, "What's going on with Lian Qingyi?"
"He was ambitious, but lacked the strength to match it. Of course, I don't know how many of the servants were his, and the person who did it probably didn't know either, so he killed all the servants."
"Why would someone target Lian Qingyi?"
"It will naturally be noticed by others. Children trained by Rennix are not easy to use. How could someone encounter something strange and not investigate backhand? He thought he was a senior, but no one would do this. Respect him.”
"Who do you think it is?" Justina said.
"How could I possibly know? I didn't activate the magic in advance." Gustav sneered, "But he killed all the servants on the first day and Renix on the second day. This person's goal seems to be very clear."
"Are you so sure it was someone, not some people?" Justina asked.
"Perhaps, but no more than two." Gustav really cut off a piece of bacon this time. "The method of killing the servant is the same as the method of killing Rennix, embalming method."
Watanabe Fuchiko, who was watching, nodded secretly. Sure enough, the character's knowledge and ability must be triggered by specific scenes.
