"Teacher Jing? Why is it…"
It seemed that because Ji Xing greeted him, the familiar figure in Hinata's eyes walked towards him quickly, and his every move made Hinata more certain of the other person's identity.
And when he took off the mask, what was revealed was indeed that gentle and beautiful face.
She looks very much like Rimuru, or should I say, Rimuru looks very much like her, the only difference being her black hair, black pupils, and a few scratches under her right eye.
"Hello, I'm Jingze Jingjiang." She responded to Ji Xing politely, then looked at Hinata gently and asked: "Hinata, is this your friend?"
"No, he…" Hinata started to answer but stopped herself, turning to look towards the rice fields in shock, searching for the five children, but what she saw was a large group of Paladin candidates.
They worked diligently under the supervision of the official paladins. A few of them seemed curious about the situation here and frequently glanced over during their work. They thought they were pretending to be flawless, but Hinata, who had a broad vision, could spot them at a glance.
In the past, Hinata would have reprimanded them mercilessly and deducted points from them, but Hinata was not in that mood at the moment.
Because she still remembered several familiar Paladin candidates in the rice field, who should have become excellent official Paladins now. This scene... was it the scene from the last Paladin selection? !
What happened? Is this real?
In confusion, Hinata could only be sure that it was Ji Xing's doing, so she stared at him closely: "You... did what?!"
"You must have read the novel before coming here." Ji Xing smiled: "Do you know what the 'if line' is?"
To be honest, Hinata's life before the time travel didn't allow her to pay attention to novels, but she did look up a lot of things when her father disappeared from the face of the earth, which gave her some understanding.
The so-called if line refers to a special story line based on the main story of the novel and part of its content, which is very different from the main line in plot development. It usually starts from a certain point in time in the main story, and the story develops differently due to the different experiences and choices of the protagonist.
Hinata is very smart, so she quickly understood Ji Xing's meaning. He used some skill to take me back to the time of the last selection, and the way he greeted Teacher Jing created an if line in "my story"?!
How is this possible? And does he have some kind of mind-reading ability? How does he know that I just regretted doing this?!
"You...what the hell..."
This attitude made Jing think that Hinata was blaming Jixing for greeting her, so she shook her head slightly and said, "Hinata, you are still so stubborn. But seeing that you are doing well and making good friends, the teacher is relieved."
She looked at Ji Xing and said, "Please be more tolerant of her. Hinata is actually a very gentle child, but she is used to wrapping herself in coldness. Then... the teacher will not disturb your work. See you next time, Hinata."
After she finished speaking, she put the mask that she had taken off most of back on her face and turned to leave, but she heard a call that surprised her: "Wait, wait! Teacher!"
When she turned around, she saw a complicated expression on Hinata's face that she had never seen before. She said in a strong tone, "Since you're here... let's chat."
Jingze Jingjiang was stunned for two seconds before taking off the mask again and showing a happy smile: "Yeah!"
So Teacher Jing would be so happy just because I was willing to chat with her... Hinata murmured in his heart and looked at Ji Xing again.
"You...want to stand here and listen?"
“It’s not nice to scold the cook when you’re full.” Ji Xing laughed, “Besides, do you think I won’t know what you talked about if I’m not standing here?”
Hinata's cheeks could not help but turn red, but it was only for a moment, making people think it was an illusion: "Then please step aside for a moment, okay?"
Ji Xing waved his hand and disappeared on the spot.
Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and turned to see Izawa Shizue looking at him with confusion.
"That gentleman is..."
"Don't worry about him... Well, he's also a summoner, a very strong and strange guy, but not very famous." Hinata hesitated.
"Are we from the same hometown?" Jing smiled: "No wonder we can become friends. If Hinata says he is very strong, then he is really amazing."
"He and I...are not friends yet, just friends of friends." Hinata said, "Let's not talk about him anymore, teacher...how have you been these past few years?"
Hinata actually took the initiative to care about my situation? Jing was a little surprised, and then smiled from the bottom of her heart again: "Teacher is very good."
Very good...Hinata said: "The Ruler of Violent Flame has not appeared for a long time."
That was the name that Izawa Shizue had earned as an A-rank adventurer, a legendary adventurer who had been active for decades, but she had retired a few years ago: “Well, because Yuuki and I were taking care of some children, some… unfortunate children who were not completely summoned, so we didn’t have time.
They are all in the Free Academy of the Kingdom of Ingracia, maybe... not long. If you have time, Hinata can go and see them."
Hinata was silent for a moment, "They will be fine. They will grow up healthy."
"Ah~" Jing said in surprise: "Hinata has even learned how to comfort people. It seems that you have really changed a lot in the past few years. This is good. In this way... the teacher can really rest assured. I hope the children can also be as blessed as you.
"I have often heard rumors about you in the past few years. You are the Saint Hinata, the Right Hand of God. A genius like you has indeed become a great figure. But it is hard to imagine that you would believe in 'God'. Is it because this can bring you the kind of future you want?"
Hinata paused for a moment and then confessed, "God Luminas is actually the Demon King Luminas Valentine. I became her subordinate after being defeated by her, but I did it... willingly."
Anyway, it's an 'if line', no matter what she says to Teacher Jing, it won't have any impact, right? After a few exchanges just now, she confirmed that the Teacher Jing in front of her was the real Jing, not the phantom condensed based on her own memory impression.
After confirming this, she realized that her desire to share was much stronger than she thought, and she had a lot to say to Jing.
Jing was also surprised and said, "Luminas? Demon King? Why haven't I heard of him? He is not one of the ten great demon kings."
"that is because……"
Hinata explained slowly and the student listened quietly, before they knew it, the master and the student were sitting on the edge of the field, opening their hearts to the fragrance of rice.
……
Elsewhere, Ji Xing returns to the temple.
What is working at this moment is another ability of his science master skill, which Ji Xing indeed named the 'if line'.
Or you could call it a 'theater version'.
当季星拨弄时间线、让技能笼罩区域的所有人将日期当成了神圣法皇纪1721年8月9日时，受到技能影响的不止有这一天，还有‘真正的’1721年8月9日，也就是一年零十个月前的这一天。
You have to know that even in the world of Conan where time keeps jumping, two identical dates will not appear. Although there are so many "Valentine's Day murders", at least the years of each incident will change and will not completely overlap.
There is only one situation where the overlap of the main plot will be completely ignored, and that is in a theatrical version where the story is basically independent of the main plot!
在他将日期错乱成1721年8月9日时，真正的1721年8月9日便与它发生了重叠，于是被季星主宰，延伸成了一个特殊的‘if线’。
At this moment, he can consume magic elements and select someone to enter the if line in a specific way. For example, Hinata is now loading his consciousness into the body of himself from more than a year ago.
But this ability is not just that simple. Everything in the if line will return to its original state when Ji Xing cancels his skills, or will be destroyed directly at that time. Therefore, all the impacts they cause will not change the future, which means that Ji Xing can do whatever he wants here!
"who are you?!"
Although it was the day of the Paladin selection, there were still elite guards at the church temple. They soon discovered that Ji Xing, a complete stranger, had not been summoned at this point in time, and quickly put themselves on alert.
"here it is……"
bang bang—
Without listening to their explanations and warnings, Ji Xing simply waved his arms, and the magical gale stuck the guards to the wall, making it impossible to pry them off.
He broke into the temple directly, and when he met anyone who tried to stop him, he knocked them away or knocked them unconscious with a wave of his hand. He walked around in a swagger and continued until he reached the inner hall. Finally, a figure flashed in front of him, and a being of considerable power appeared.
Roy Valentine, the Devil in Disguise!
At this point in time, Roy naturally didn't recognize Ji Xing. He stared at Ji Xing with caution and anger on his face and said, "You bastard! How dare you break into my territory! Go to hell!"
A red beam of light shot out from his palm, and as if it had magical power that could destroy everything, it came towards Ji Xingyin.
But when it was two meters away from Ji Xing's body, it was easily blocked by a magic barrier.
Just as Roy was shocked, Ji Xing repaid evil with kindness by "forcing him to buy and sell"!
Given to: Roy Valentine.
Grants skill: Glory of the Dead!
It is the passive skill of Sion, the undead god of war in the League!
Buzz—In the strange fluctuations, Roy received the information of the skill: After being killed, you will encourage yourself to stand up, but your health will be lost quickly. During this period...
What the hell? After being killed? I will stand up? I can stand up after I die?!
Roy was slightly stunned, and a cold light flashed across his face.
The severe pain in his throat made him subconsciously swing his arm to attack Ji Xing in front of him, but he only hit his afterimage, and Ji Xing had already returned to his opposite side.
The splattering blood and the fading power made him cover the wound on his neck in anger, but he couldn't cover up the erosion of a powerful energy. Obviously, the depth of the wound was not enough to take the life of this demon king, but he fell dead in just three seconds!
Then he opened his eyes and stood up again.
At the same time, a strong anger filled his body. He felt his vitality slipping away every second. At the same time, he lost all his skills and magic power, leaving only infinite strange power far beyond his life! Wait - before his death? !
Oh, right, I'm dead!
But I'm alive again?!
"Woohoo!!"
He couldn't speak and could only roar.
The figure seemed to have grown even larger and pounced towards Ji Xing, swinging his fists wildly.
Ji Xing put away his sword and blocked the attacks one by one. The corridor of the temple was quickly cracked and collapsed by the violent power of both sides. In just a dozen seconds, it seemed as if the sky was about to collapse and the earth was about to fall apart, until Roy died on the spot.
Well, his vitality has ended, his skills have become ineffective, and this time Roy is really dead.
However, the benefits that Ji Xing gained from these short ten seconds were equal to the benefits that all the people who bought his skills would gain in half a day when he was in his normal state!
It was verified as early as when Shyvana fought against the Scorching Dragon that a demon-level existence, using Ji Xing's skills to the fullest in a life-and-death battle, would bring Ji Xing an exceptionally huge reward!
"That's great."
Looking down at Roy, Ji Xing used his backhand to shatter the nuclear magic shot by Roy's twin brother Rey. The corridor leading to the inner hall finally collapsed, revealing the beautiful scenery of the sacred peak outside.
Lei Yi was naturally not overwhelmed by such a level of destruction, nor did he seem to be sad about his brother's death. He just stared at Ji Xing solemnly and asked, "Who are you? A hero?"
"Hey."
The second part of forced buying and selling!
Given to: Rey Valentine.
Grants skills: Cell division!
This time it’s the passive of the biochemical demon Zac!
In the strange fluctuations, Lei Yi also received Ji Xing's skill information: Every time your magic hits an enemy, a small piece of mucus will splash out. If you absorb this mucus, you will recover a certain amount of physical strength. When you die, you will split into four cell tissues...
What the hell is this? !
Even though he has a more stable personality, Rei is in a state of confusion at this moment, so Roy's experience is repeated and his throat is cut by Ji Xing's sword!
It's not that I didn't learn my lesson, it's that I really couldn't react in time, the speed of the sword was just too fast.
The dead body of Rei split into four piles of shit with a snap, slowly gathering in the middle. During this period, he was even conscious, so he understood the information just now, but was even more shocked: "Who... are you?!"
He did not attack after being resurrected, but shouted in a heavy tone, and was answered with a sword.
"Why don't you cooperate?"
The skill was on 'cooling down', so Ray really died, and the benefit he brought was only about one-fifth of Roy's, but... it was still not bad.
Because experience can be gained repeatedly!
"It's really annoying. Some weird guys are looking for trouble with me." In a cold and arrogant voice, Luminas finally showed up at this time point. She raised her head slightly and said, "How long are you two going to sleep?!"
As she shouted, Roy and Rei, who had become corpses, trembled, and unexpectedly regained their vitality, slowly crawling up. This time it was not Ji Xing's skill, but Luminas' authority as the ancestor of vampires!
Any vampire who dies within her sight can be resurrected with the infusion of her power!
"Lady Luminas, please be careful, this human... is very strange!"
Rei gave a reminder, while Roy was gloomy and ready to fight. Both of them still had Ji Xing's "Sell Out" skill, and because they were resurrected after death, the cooldown of both skills ended!
The three demon kings surrounded Ji Xing in a V-shape. Ji Xing smiled and dodged.
With the blessing of the Dragon Slayer King, the speed of movement even exceeded the vision of ordinary demon kings, and only Luminas could react.
But the magic she cast with her backhand missed, and then she felt her shoulder being gently tapped, and a trace of cold sweat seeped out of her forehead.
"This guy... is too fast!"
When she was ready to defend herself and thought she was going to be hit hard, Ji Xing's palm just touched her lightly and then withdrew. At the same time, a skill information also drilled into Luminas's head.
Unlike the other two, Luminas has a much greater amount of mana, and 'forced selling' requires physical contact, and the skill Jixing chose to give her is also very special - mana accumulation.
This is the only passive of the item 'Tears of the Goddess' in League of Legends! After the Jixing magic modification and utility maximization, it has become what it is now: every time you use magic, your maximum magic value will increase by 10000 points, up to a maximum of one million.
This is a huge improvement for Luminas, whose magic value was only about 4 million!
After appreciating the information of the skills, Luminas finally understood why the "two idiots" were distracted during the battle, and why they entered a strange state after death. Who wouldn't be stunned?
She was also stunned, but this time Roy and Rey were not stunned. They rushed towards Ji Xing frantically in a panic and fought with Ji Xing. In just three seconds, they were killed by Ji Xing!
The Undead God of War stood up again.
The four piles of shit also appeared again.
With satisfactory skill gains, Ji Xing dealt with Roy's corpse while still looking at the doubtful Luminas.
'Perpetual Motion Machine Combination', assembled!
First, gain half a year’s experience!
……
Meanwhile, Hinata had just finished telling Shizuka all about his experiences since they separated, and there was a brief silence between the two.
“There are good people among the demon kings.”
After a few seconds, Jing sighed: "Although absolute equality is not necessarily a good thing, in a world like this, the Holy French Empire is truly a pure land on earth."
"I have the same doubts." Hinata nodded and said, "Compared to the Kingdom of Ingracia, the people here always have gentle smiles on their faces, lack a sense of competition, and have no personal characteristics... But just like you said, teacher, we don't have the means and ability to ask for more."
After a pause, she looked at Jing's face and added, "Perhaps in the future someone, or the Demon King, will be able to do better."
Rimuru, is it okay?
Jing was only surprised by another point: "Hinata, have you been to the Kingdom of Ingracia?"
"Yeah." Hinata admitted, in the future, while sniping Rimuru, and then changed the subject: "What about you, teacher. You haven't answered my question yet. Have you been... okay during this time?"
"Me? I'm fine... I'm just worried about the kids. I hope things will turn around for them like you said..."
"Teacher, you are not good at lying."
Jing paused for a moment and blinked in distress.
Hinata shook her head slightly. Now thinking back, 'back then' the teacher didn't come up to me to meet me, but just looked at me from a distance and left. Maybe he was afraid that I would notice something.
"The spirit in your body can no longer be suppressed, right?" Hinata continued.
Jing has been summoned to this world for more than 70 years. Although she looks like a 16-year-old girl, she is actually over 90 years old.
Humans who are not heroes and do not have specific skills cannot remain young forever. The reason why Jing has her current appearance is because a violent fire elf, Ifrit, has been fused into her body.
That was the work of Demon Lord Leon.
Shizue Izawa was the last "semi-finished product" summoned by Demon King Leon when he was pursuing his childhood sweetheart Chloe. At that time, she was only eight years old and faced the same situation as the children she is taking care of now. It was the Ifrit that merged into her body that allowed her to survive until now.
But Ifrit is both her success and her failure. Jing cannot control it. She will lose control and do things she doesn't want to do because of it. She can only seal and restrict it with the anti-magic mask, suppressing Ifrit's magic for decades.
"In about two months, the spirit in Teacher Jing's body will get out of control."
Jing, who had been silent, smiled: "Hinata can even deduce the time? But the teacher thinks he can hold on for at least another year. I will find a way, don't worry."
no, you can not.
Two months later, you will go to the Demon Federation, where you will lose control. The Ifrit in your body will be devoured by Rimuru, and without the spirit, you will age quickly, and eventually entrust everything to that slime and be devoured by her.
Hinata felt a little disappointed. Change it?
No, this is just the so-called if-line world created by Ji Xing's skills, which is self-deception.
Besides, isn't that a relief for Teacher Jing? She can see that there is more hidden under Jing's always gentle smile, and Teacher Jing is not that happy.
"Teacher, you know my past, but I don't know much about you." Hinata said: "Can you tell me more?"
Jing was startled for a moment, then smiled: "It's rare that you are willing to understand, I am willing to share it with you."
The memory of her childhood was already blurred, Jing only remembered a fire and a war. The bombers flying by brought disaster to the world, and her mother dragged her to escape in the flames, and was eventually devoured by the flames. Only she was summoned to this world by the demon king Leon at the moment of death.
Afterwards, she merged with Ifrit and lived in Leon's castle. When she was young, she was deeply influenced by Ifrit. Because the monster adopted by her childhood playmate showed hostility towards Leon, Ifrit took over her body and burned her best friend to ashes with a flame.
"At that time, I was really miserable and wanted to commit suicide, but was always stopped by Demon King Leon. Until one day, a hero came to my door. Leon asked me to cover his escape. I thought my life could finally end, but the hero didn't kill me and took me in.
The next few years were probably my happiest time, until one day, Klonoa, the hero, suddenly disappeared. After that, you know that I used the mask left to me by the hero to suppress Ifrit and became an adventurer, the Explosive Ruler. "
Jing shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't hate Demon King Leon, and I don't blame the hero for leaving without saying goodbye. I just... have some wishes. Since I've given them to you, Hinata, help the teacher if you have the chance.
Help me find that hero, and help me ask Leon, what am I to him, a tool? Or... a person?"
If Hinata knew about the time and space cycle brought by Chloe, she would know that the brave man who adopted Teacher Jing was herself who took over Chlonoa's body, and that she left without saying goodbye because she came to this world herself and was helped by Jing.
Fate connected them into a circle.
"The strongest hero, Chronoa?" Hinata knew that Teacher Shizuka should have entrusted all of this to Rimuru, but that didn't matter. No matter what the situation was, she was entrusted this time.
“I’ll keep an eye on it. And I’ll ask Demon Lord Leon for you.”
"…Be careful."
"I will."
Hinata agreed, paused for a few seconds and then said: "It turns out that Teacher Jing also had an unfortunate past and even thought about ending his own life..."
"Maybe you're right Hinata, the teacher is too weak." Jing smiled: "The idea of ending your own life is the most cowardly. Only by living can you have a future and realize your wishes.
Just like today, if the teacher hadn't had a frank talk with you, he would have died with regret and worry about you, right? You're finally not so cold anymore, Hinata. "
Hinata's eyes suddenly turned red for some reason, and after a few seconds, he calmed down and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Jing was surprised: "You actually apologized? Are you really Hinata? Teacher, are you dreaming? Hahaha..."
She was joking, but Hinata felt even more complicated: "Thank you, teacher."
"Thank you again? So~" Shizue drawled, "Hinata, you scared the teacher a little, so what happened?"
Hinata smiled at her and said, "I just came to terms with some things. I always thought you were weak, but maybe I was the one who was really weak. I was stuck in my dissatisfaction with the world and my own sorrow in life. If some people hadn't been tolerant enough towards me, I might have made a big mistake or even paid the price with my life."
A powerful wave of power rose in her body, and Jing's surprise turned into shock.
"Could this be... the hero's egg?"
This means that Hinata has awakened the qualifications of a hero. As long as he finds Ramiris, passes the trial of the Light Spirit or the Dark Spirit, and signs a contract, he can become a true hero! Compared to the Demon King and the Saint, heroes are even rarer, and each of them can bring changes to the world!
This also means that Hinata's words of 'let it go' are not just words, but facts.
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, Jing was surprised and worried: "The fate of the hero is destined to be entangled with the demon king, that Luminas..."
"Lady Luminas won't care," Hinata shook her head, and the demon king whose fate is entangled with mine may not necessarily be Lady Luminas.
……
"Hinata, haven't you noticed yet?!"
The panting Luminas was concerned about Hinata. She had resurrected the brothers Roy and Rey more than 100 times in total, and even with the passive skill of the Goddess's Tears, she was almost at her limit.
'Where did this human who is as strong as Guy come from, and what is he trying to do?! He actually played a trick on me, I will cut him into pieces and suck his blood dry!'
So the battle continued.
In the field, the master and the disciple opened their hearts to each other, while in the temple, Luminas was so tired that she almost cried.
While brushing up his skills, Ji Xing said sorry to Luminas of this timeline in his heart.
