Chapter 224 The Second Turn Begins

"Besides, the speed of time in my world is different from yours. I just arrived there not long ago, but five years have passed here."

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 held back all his words and looked at Kevin for a few times:

"No wonder you seem to have not changed much. I thought... you also have the ability to stay young."

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

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

"...I always feel that you just don't want to take care of children."

Logan, who was familiar with Kevin, saw the essence of Kevin's refusal at a glance.

Kevin smiled and said nothing.

Logan was helpless, but he didn't force Kevin. He lit another cigarette and asked:

"Are you really not going to stay for a while?"

"I don't plan to stay here for now. Let's talk about it later. By the way, you don't need my help, right?"

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

"?"

"To be honest, I'm not suitable to be the dean of mutants. When Rector grows up, I will give him the position. I think you shouldn'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.

Faced with Logan's request, Kevin did not refuse.

When he has too many skill points to use up, he might choose to take one or two friends from another world to explore other worlds.

"Don't worry, if I can take people with me, 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 used to be Logan and Charles' nanny, should be able to get a good position here at the Mutant Academy after everything is restored to peace.

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

But Kevin didn't see Caliban in school. I think Caliban should have settled somewhere?

For example, 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 premonition, and his smile faded, and he looked at Logan.

After a long time, Logan said:

"That's right. It's not easy to come back. You have to see your old friend. Let's go. I'll take you to see Caliban."

So, the two came to the cemetery.

...

Caliban is dead.

He didn't die in the fight 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, so he should be considered old enough."

Logan said on the side.

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

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

It may be a sudden accident, or a terminal illness, or the death of old age...

Caliban is indeed not young. Although he takes 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 is also reasonable, but Kevin finds it difficult to accept for a while.

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

"He should not be in pain when he died, right?"

Kevin asked Logan.

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

He said to Kevin:

"It's painful to have cancer, but at the end of his life, we followed his wishes and didn't force him to live. We euthanized him."

"That's good too."

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

Being able to choose death on your own is better than dying suddenly without knowing anything and not even leaving a will.

Caliban's death diluted the joy of reuniting with his friends.

Kevin and Logan stood in front of Caliban's cemetery for a long time, and they left when the sun set.

"Aren't you going to meet Laura and the others? They admire you very much? Many mutants in this world also admire you."

When Kevin was about to leave, Logan tried to persuade him to stay.

He wanted Kevin to stay here for another day.

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

"No, there's no need."

"Okay, then I wish you a safe journey."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Kevin, Logan no longer forced him. Anyway, Kevin could come back in the future, although it might take several years for Kevin to come next time.

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

Except for the fear that the remnants of the Alkali Group would assassinate him, he lives much more freely than before.

Kevin is more worried that he will 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. He 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 Job], and fully master a skill route of [Deep Sea Fighter].

Kevin had already met these two conditions, but there were too many things to do, and Kevin had not yet mastered 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.

However, 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 thought 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, he "saw" something.

It was a particularly complex text, like a pattern.

Kevin recognized what it was.

It was the ‘magic pattern’.

In each beam of 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 teleportation, was about to continue his research, but the white light had dissipated. With the disappearance of the last beam of magic patterns, Kevin felt himself immersed in the sea water.

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

As soon as he touched the sea water, he felt the pressure from 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 for now.

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

This thing is fragile to begin with. Anyone on land can break it with tools. How can it withstand such great pressure all 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 debris in his hand that had turned into garbage, Kevin wanted to cry but had no tears.

He thought about encountering 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 meant 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 the first job transfer did not teleport into the sea, and the second job transfer was teleported to the wilderness, 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 it, forget it, let's take a look at the mission goal first... Get the legendary trident? Huh??"

Without time to mourn the "treasure" he lost, Kevin checked the skill tree tasks after he came to this world.

But after seeing the tasks released by the skill tree, his head was full of question marks.

Legendary trident?

It sounds a bit familiar... What is it?

Kevin tilted his head and thought about where he had heard this name before. Suddenly, his deep-sea perception came into play, and he felt that someone was swimming towards this side in the ocean current in the distance.

"?"

In such a deep place, where there is at least 50 atmospheres of pressure, there are still people swimming freely here?

Kevin was stunned at first, and then looked towards the place where the ocean current was surging.

When he saw the appearance of the person coming, Kevin realized where this place was, and also knew what the legendary trident was.

"Oh, DC."

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