Become Aquaman from Black Robe

Chapter 224 The second turn begins



"Furthermore, the speed of time in the world I live in is different from that here. I have only passed there not long ago, but here, five years have passed."

Seeing that Logan was about to say something, Kevin interrupted his thoughts in advance and told the truth about the different speeds of time on both sides.

Logan suppressed all his words. He looked at Kevin a few times:

"No wonder you don't seem to have changed much. I thought... you also had the ability to age forever."

Kevin shrugged and did not tell Logan that he did have the ability to age forever. Instead, he continued:

"So, if you don't want to leave Laura for a long time, it's best not to let her follow me, and what I'm going to do next is not suitable for raising children."

"...It always feels like you just don't want to take care of children."

Logan, who was relatively familiar with Kevin, could see the nature of Kevin's rejection at a glance.

Kevin smiled and said nothing.

Logan was helpless, but he did not continue to force Kevin. He lit a cigarette again and asked:

"Are you really not going to stay a little longer?"

"I have no plans to stay here for the time being. Let's talk about it later. By the way, there shouldn't be anything you need my help with... right?"

"No, everything is fine here, just... you can come over again when you have time."

"?"

"To be honest, I'm really not suitable to be the dean of mutants. When Rector grows up in the future, I will give up my position to him. I think you won't mind having an extra companion on your journey."

Logan said with a smile.

It seems that he wants to find a way out for himself in the future.

Facing Logan's request, Kevin did not refuse.

In the future, when he has more skill points than he can use up, he may really choose to bring one or two friends from other worlds with him to explore other worlds.

"Don't worry, if I can bring someone with me then, I will definitely take you out to see the world."

Kevin agreed with a smile, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered to ask:

"By the way, where is Caliban? Why didn't I see him when I came back this time?"

Caliban, who had been Logan and Charles's nanny, should be able to get a good position here at the Mutant Academy once things return to peace.

And if he just wants to live a good life without doing anything, Logan must be able to satisfy him.

It's just that Kevin didn't see Caliban in school. Where did Caliban settle down?

Like on the Rising Sun?

Kevin wondered why he didn't see Caliban, but Logan fell silent after hearing this and didn't speak for a long time.

Logan's silence gave Kevin a bad feeling. His smile faded and he looked at Logan.

After a long time, Logan said:

"That's right. After finally coming back, you have to meet your old friends anyway. Come on, I'll take you to see Caliban."

So, the two came to the cemetery.

Caliban is dead.

He didn't die in the battle between mutants, and it had nothing to do with the Alkali Group.

He had cancer and died in bed two years ago.

Although Kevin was sad about this, he was not surprised. After all, Caliban was already very old.

"Although he doesn't look very old, he is about the same age as Charles... He has lived for so long, which is enough."

Logan said from the side.

Kevin placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Caliban's tombstone and stood up silently.

As long as it is life, there will actually be such a day.

Or a sudden accident, or a terminal illness, or the end of life...

Caliban is indeed not young. Even though he is taking care of Charles and Logan, he seems to be very energetic and can live for a long time.

But in fact, Caliban's life has come to an end, but he has never shown it.

His death was also reasonable, but Kevin found it difficult to accept it for a while.

After all, in his eyes, he and Caliban had only been separated for a few months.

"There shouldn't be any pain when he dies, right?"

Kevin asked Logan.

Logan opened his mouth, took out the cigarette case from his body and opened it. Just as he was about to put it to his mouth, he glanced at Caliban's tombstone and put it back.

He and Kevin said:

"There is nothing painless about getting cancer, but at the end of his life, we followed his wishes and did not forcefully hang his life. We performed euthanasia on him."

"That's good too."

Kevin didn't know what to say, so he said a little dryly.

Being able to choose to die on your own is better than dying suddenly without knowing anything and not even being able to explain your last words.

Caliban's death diluted the joy of reunited friends.

Kevin and Logan stood in front of Caliban's grave for a long time. They waited until the sun set before they both left.

"Don't you meet Laura and the others? They admire you? Many mutants in this world also admire you."

When Kevin was about to leave, Logan tried to retain him.

He wanted Kevin to stay here one more day.

Kevin shook his head, looked at the sunset, and said:

"No, that's not necessary."

"Well, I wish you a safe journey."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Kevin, Logan stopped pushing. Anyway, Kevin could come back in the future, although the next time Kevin came over, it would probably be a few years.

But for ‘immortals’ like Logan and Laura, a few years is nothing.

Kevin's arrival and departure did not alarm anyone.

In addition to Logan and Rector, the black guy who Logan had high hopes for, only Paul, who was supported by Kevin, knew that Kevin had come back.

This "hero" who originally came from the Alkali Group and was later trained by Kevin to become the vanguard against the Alkali Group, now lives a very good life.

Except for worrying that the remnants of Alkali would assassinate him, he lived much more freely than before.

Kevin was more worried that he would lose his original intention and do something bad to Logan, so he went to knock him.

But fortunately, this guy is smart and knows what Kevin cares about, and has never done anything bad to mutants.

After making sure that everything is fine in the world of Wolverine 3, Kevin found a secret place to do the second thing.

That is, to change jobs in the dungeon world.

The first two conditions of [Ocean Lord], [Master the Second Career], and a certain skill route of [Deep Sea Fighter] are fully mastered.

Kevin had already met these two conditions, but there were too many things to do, and Kevin had not yet fully understood the first two professions, and even had not maxed out one skill, so he did not immediately make the second job change.

Now that he has time, Kevin must of course make the second job change as soon as possible to determine the next route.

But Kevin had always changed jobs in the Black Robe World before, and had never tried to change jobs in the Dungeon World. He was curious about what would happen if he really changed jobs in the Dungeon World.

Would the skill tree and the time of the Dungeon World also be suspended?

Or would Kevin need to transfer to another Dungeon World first if he wanted to go to another Dungeon World in the future?

Kevin wanted to figure this out, so he planned to do this experiment.

"Generally speaking, if it is an absolutely prohibited matter, the skill tree should give me a prompt."

Kevin clicked on the skill tree, opened the icon for the second job change, and thought secretly.

He had already decided that if the skill tree prohibited Kevin from doing so, he would not commit suicide and wait until he returned to the Black Robe World to change jobs to [Ocean Lord].

But the skill tree did not pop up a risk prompt for Kevin until Kevin confirmed the job change.

This proves that this behavior itself is not prohibited by the skill tree.

So this brings us back to another question, what is the source of the operation of the skill tree...?

Kevin was thinking in his heart while confirming the second transformation.

Then, the familiar white light engulfed him.

...

The white light enveloped Kevin's eyes, because every time he traveled through the same way, Kevin had already gotten used to it.

But this time was different.

I don't know if it was because Kevin upgraded [Deep Sea Perception] to level 4, his sharp perception, in the white light, "saw" something.

It was a special and complex text like a pattern.

Kevin recognized what it was.

It was a "magic pattern".

In each beam of light in this light, there seemed to be a large number of magic patterns gathered, and the magic patterns were crowded together like insects, emitting a dazzling light.

The light brought by the teleportation came from them!

Kevin, who vaguely understood the principle of transmission, was about to continue his research, but the white light had dissipated. With the disappearance of the last magic pattern beam, Kevin felt himself immersed in the sea water.

"Is the transmission location this time the deep sea?"

As soon as he touched the sea water, he felt the pressure on every inch of his skin, and Kevin was shocked at first.

Then he screamed:

"Ah! My stuff!!"

He immediately took off the backpack behind him and tried to check the integrity of the things inside.

Let's not talk about consumables such as food and water.

The hacking device that Rocket had made before had turned into a pile of scrap metal under the pressure of sea water.

This thing was originally very fragile. Anyone on land could smash it with tools. How could it withstand such a great pressure at once?

Not only that, Kevin's lighter, portable tent, and some miscellaneous survival tools were all destroyed.

"No, even if you teleported me to the universe, this thing can't be broken, but you teleported me to the deep sea... I really..."

Looking at the pile of fragments in his hand that had turned into garbage, Kevin wanted to cry but had no tears.

He thought he would encounter extreme situations.

But because of the previous two teleportation experiences, Kevin thought that the extreme situation would at most appear on an alien planet again, or more extreme, appear in the universe.

For this reason, Kevin also prepared a universe rescue device.

He believed that if the skill tree really teleported him to the universe, it at least represented that there were intelligent life with highly developed technology in that universe.

With the rescue device, Kevin should be able to be rescued even if he really appeared in the universe.

But Kevin really didn't expect to appear directly in the deep sea.

The main reason was that he didn't teleport into the sea in the first job transfer, and he was even teleported to the wilderness in the second job transfer, so Kevin didn't think about it.

But he forgot that whether it was [Deep Sea Fighter] or [Ocean Lord], they were all related to the sea.

"…I can't save him. Forget it. Let's look at the mission objective first…Get the legendary trident? Hmm?"

Without time to mourn the loss of his "treasure", Kevin checked the skill tree missions after he came to this world.

But after seeing the missions released by the skill tree, he was full of question marks.

Legendary trident?

Sounds familiar...what's that?

Kevin tilted his head and thought about where he had heard this name, but his deep sea perception suddenly came into play, and he felt someone swimming towards this side in the distant ocean current.

"?"

In such a deep place, with at least fifty atmospheres of pressure, how can someone still swim freely here?

Kevin was startled for a moment, then looked towards where the ocean currents were surging.

When he saw the appearance of the visitor, Kevin understood where he was coming from and what the legendary trident was.

"Oh, DC."

Looking at the red-haired woman leading the group of people in front of him, Kevin suddenly realized.
