"Master, I …"
Just as André finished leveling up and was about to say something to the Lich, he suddenly felt his heart twitch violently.
"Thump!"
"Thump!
Thump! "
"Thump!
Thump!
Thump … "
As his heart twitched more and more frequently, he felt a force slowly rising from his heart and surging towards his left eye.
The Arcane Eye, which had been obediently staying in his eye socket, seemed to be attracted by some kind of force and slowly began to break free from the optic nerve connected to his brain, attempting to become independent from his body.
What was even more surprising was that this process did not cause any pain at all, nor did it cause a drop of blood.
After a short few minutes, this eyeball, which was flickering with violet light, finally managed to break free from its eye socket and floated alone in the air. The ring in the pupil spun rapidly, releasing a blinding light like the stars in the night sky.
Everyone present could feel the terrifying magical energy gathering rapidly with the eyeball as the center. In terms of strength, it far surpassed the teleportation channel that connected the two worlds not long ago.
"Hehehehe!
The Arcane Eye is finally awakening!
The entire world will change because of this … "
Staring at the eyeball in the center of the energy storm, the Lich let out a hair-raising whisper. He then immediately raised his hand and chanted a spell in a low voice, completing a shielding spell that directly isolated the northern sewer from the material world.
Although there was no longer a shrine on the island, he still decided not to let any traces of it leak out for safety's sake.
The terrifying magical storm destroyed everything in its surroundings. To be precise, it disintegrated all matter into countless particles that could not be seen with the naked eye. It was even more terrifying than the level-6 spell, Disintegrate. Even the knowledgeable half-elf great wizard Orlando could not help but widen his eyes, continuously casting prophecy spells to find out what kind of power was so terrifying.
Unfortunately, all his efforts were destined to be in vain.
After failing to obtain any clues after several attempts, he shook his head dejectedly and closed his eyes to silently feel the changes in the magical energy in the air. He planned to remember this feeling first, and then slowly analyze and research it to find out the mystery behind it when he became a true Legendary-mage.
After more than ten minutes, the storm that disintegrated everything slowly came to a stop. All the energy in the space was absorbed by the Arcane Eye and finally transformed into the energy it needed.
When the blinding light reached a certain intensity, it suddenly trembled.
In the next second …
A metallic voice sounded in André's mind.
"Energy storage has exceeded 5%. The minimum standard has been reached. The subconscious is awakening …"
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
"Seven!"
…
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"The Eye of Future, Amos, has been awakened!"
"Consciousness correction commencing …"
"Storing data confirmed …"
"Greetings, esteemed master. Eye of Future Amos is at your disposal!"
As the last word left his mouth, the eyeball floating in the air suddenly retracted the dazzling light emitted from its pupil. It returned to the empty eye socket and connected with the optic nerve.
The whole process took no more than ten seconds. Then, André felt that something had drilled into his brain and started to list, organize, and back up all the knowledge and thoughts in his head, forming a library-like system. With just a thought, he could retrieve the deepest memories immediately.
In order to confirm his guess, he directly asked through his consciousness, "Amos, are you my left eye?"
"Yes, master. I am your left eye, and I was once the tattoo on the back of your hand. Do you have any orders for me?" The metallic voice immediately responded.
Even though it spoke logically, there was no emotion in it. It was as cold as a machine.
André hesitated for a moment before finally asking a question that had been bothering him for a long time. "Yes, I want to know. You seemed to have hinted in the dream that I was born from your womb. Can you explain what that means?"
Without a doubt, this was a very sensitive and fatal question!
Even the self-proclaimed Eye of Future Amos fell into a short silence. Fortunately, it seemed that it could not disobey its master's will. It quickly replied, "Just like the literal meaning. When you were still a baby in your mother's womb and did not have any consciousness, I secretly used the purest magical energy to modify your body and brain so that the newborn soul could better adapt to supernatural powers."
"Why did you do that?" André frowned and continued asking.
Obviously, he was quite repulsed by this kind of thing. After all, no one would be willing to be a lab rat in a scientific experiment, even if the experiment had great benefits for them.
"According to the predetermined procedure, after selecting a target, I had to perform magical modification to ensure that the master has superior intelligence and magic affinity.
More importantly, if you don't have magic, then I can't bring your soul back to the material world. "
Amos had no intention of hiding the reason for the modification and gave the answer generously. Furthermore …
It seemed that it could not understand the anger shown by its master.
André keenly noticed this and quickly probed, "You mentioned the predetermined procedure just now. Can you tell me what it includes?
Also, why did you choose me out of so many people?
What's so special about me? "
"The predetermined procedure includes four points:
First, search for traces of the existence of intelligent life;
Second, search for the most developed races and regions in the surrounding area first and collect all useful knowledge;
Third, perform magical modification after selecting a target, and then hide in the dark to ensure that they can grow up healthily and create a perfect personality;
Lastly, when the time is ripe, bring the target back to the material world and fulfill the scene described in the great prophecy.
The reason why I chose you is very simple. The country you were born in was implementing a type of education that was very much in line with the views of mages — materialistic education.
Compared to those countries that were filled with religious fanaticism and false beliefs, such an environment was undoubtedly easier to cultivate a calm, fearless, and rational person.
In order to ensure that all of this would not go wrong due to various unexpected factors, I even adjusted your hormone secretion so that you would be free of the restlessness of puberty.
However, since returning to the material world, I've exhausted all of my energy and had to temporarily fall into a deep sleep. There's no way I can help you control your hormones … "
Saying this, Amos' tone revealed self-blame and regret, as if he had made a huge mistake.
