Frankly speaking, he has no original memory of this body, nor can he feel any emotions belonging to the character [Wayne].
What's more, even Wayne in the original plot probably doesn't know this at all.
Therefore, he didn't feel that suddenly recognizing his biological father was a very important thing. Instead, he felt like he was watching a bloody TV series, and his heart had no fluctuations.
Instead of being moved or envied, the only emotion that emerged from him was boredom.
——Why is Chris so worry-free when traveling through time travel, but when it’s her turn to travel through time, all kinds of mess happens.
It's like seeing a cockroach in the kitchen. It's disgusting whether you kill it or not.
Sure enough... I still can't accept this kind of thing so easily.
He looked at Tasia nonchalantly: "Do you want to talk to me about something? Just tell me, it's okay."
What Tasia really wanted to ask was obviously difficult to say, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally changed the subject.
"My mother's physical condition has improved a lot recently... In fact, I have always wanted to express my gratitude to Professor Conley in person. Today I specially brought cookies made by myself. If you are free, Wayne, you can take me to see Professor Conley at noon. ?"
Wayne glanced at Tasia, who looked a little worried, and agreed simply.
Tasia smiled slightly reluctantly at him, turned and left.
Leaning next to the corridor, looking at Tasia's retreating back, Wayne fell into deep thought.
Probably because one of the key prisoners, Norman, has lost his whereabouts, the city guard has blocked the news. What happened last night has not been revealed. The campus is particularly peaceful today.
But the more peaceful and peaceful the scene in front of him became, the more upset Wayne felt.
Unlike the appearance of light magic, which occurs by chance, dark magic is awakened through the day after tomorrow. This means that there must be a guide who inputs the "seed" of dark magic into the recipient's body in advance, and then the seed is gestated and accumulated bit by bit.
If there is no such guide, although it is theoretically possible to awaken a new dark magician, the process will become extremely dangerous, often causing the magic to go out of control and the survival rate to be very slim.
According to Norman, in order to better master the magic of darkness, the descendants of the Laird family often have "demon seeds" implanted into their bodies when they are born. As long as he dies, the "seed" in his body will be activated. Unless he never uses magic again, he may succeed him at any time and inherit the destiny of the Laird race.
If it were Ecos, maybe he wouldn't have to worry about this problem. In fact, when he transformed into Ecos, he completely changed his body.
However, Echos and Wayne cannot exist at the same time, so he currently has no way to personally explore whether Wayne's body really contains the "seed" of dark magic...
[——The truly terrifying thing about dark magic is that it will make a person completely lose the ability to experience the beauty of life. 】
Duke Elliot's solemn warnings still ring in his ears.
It was obviously such an evil force, but just because it was powerful enough, did the Laird family resolutely choose to sacrifice the lives of their descendants?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not so difficult to understand that the Holy See united with several allies to destroy the country...
Regarding the past of the Principality of Millistan, there is very little information preserved in the Royal Capital of Loans. Only some rebel news coming from the border from time to time can be known. In the past, the ruler of the principality had a good image in the minds of ordinary local people, especially the Grand Duke Laird.
This is very different from the general impression that dark magicians are extremely evil people.
So does this mean that the disadvantages are actually controllable?
But when he thought about Norman's performance, Wayne suddenly became less sure.
Norman seemed to be trying his best to persuade Elliot to secretly cultivate a new dark magician, but Elliot took Norman and left after a while, not knowing where he went with him.
As for Wayne, in order to prevent Tasia from finding out more inside information that she shouldn't know, he had no choice but to comfort her for a while and then take her back.
Alas, there is no use in thinking too much.
If nothing else happens, Duke Elliot will meet with him in private soon.
…
As expected.
After dinner that night, Elliot motioned to Wayne to come with him to the study alone to talk.
Chris originally wanted to fish in troubled waters and follow, but was ruthlessly rejected by Elliot.
"Aren't you very busy with things at the publishing house recently?" Elliot said, "Go and do your own work first. I'll just chat with Wayne."
Chrissy was skeptical. "What do you two have to talk about?"
"Of course it's gossip that only boys can listen to." Elliot finished perfunctory with Chris and then locked the door of the study, shutting out Chris's angry complaints.
After dealing with Chris, Elliot sat back on the chair with a slightly troubled expression.
"This kid was spoiled by me." He seemed sorry for that.
"No, Chris is very straightforward and cute." Wayne complimented smoothly.
To be honest, although Elliot was not as doting on him as he was on Chris, he was still basically qualified as an adoptive father.
"Yes... truth is a very precious thing. The more growth you experience, the more precious it becomes." Elliot sighed with emotion.
"Wayne - have you ever thought about going back to visit the place where you grew up?" He suddenly asked.
Wayne was stunned.
After a moment, he shook his head.
"I don't remember those things in the past, and I don't think about going back there one day."
In the animated plot, he has been bullied since his parents died, and it is normal for him to have no feelings for those people.
Elliot was silent for a moment.
"What about your deceased father and mother? Do you want to visit their graves?" he asked again.
Wayne looked up at him strangely, "Why did Father suddenly talk about this?"
The so-called offense is the best defense, and Wayne decisively turned passivity into initiative.
"Uh...cough, it's nothing." Elliot also felt that such verbal testing was tricky and ineffective, and he twisted his posture uncomfortably.
"I'm just a little worried that if you stay at home here for a long time, you will miss your parents." He expressed concern in a gentle tone.
Wayne thought for a while and said, "My biological parents have been dead for so long that I can't even remember what they look like. Moreover, you and my mother treat me very well. In fact, I have already placed this place in my heart." Treat it as your real home..."
"But since my father mentioned it, I think it would be okay if I have time to visit the grave in the future." Wayne's attitude was very candid.
