Chapter 190: The Attitude and True Purpose of the Gods
"I don't know what they're talking about, it's true that it's easy to get all kinds of information clues in places like inns and taverns, but not all of them are valuable, and the gibberish of these drunks is a kind of junk information."
Dikun sighed, then thought about it again, and organized the language-
"It probably means that one of them was in the morning, when we came back, and saw a tall tower in the Genting area, all made of brass or gold...... But in the blink of an eye, the work was gone, only they could see. ”
"Them?"
"Oh, it's not just this person now, there are also some people who say they have seen it, but the number is very small...... It's hard to know for sure if they really saw something, or if they believed it as a lie. ”
Di Kun spread his hands and poured Xia Ran a glass of wine: "Anyway, once this kind of clue appears, someone will always determine it, and the result is that they can't find the tower they said in the Yunding District...... Would you like a drink? ”
"No, thanks, I don't drink...... But really can't find anything? ”
Xia Ran waved his hand, directly rejected the other party's kindness, and continued to ask.
"I really can't find anything, I can't see it with the naked eye, I can't sense my breath, I can't scan my mental power, and there are some technical nerds who have measured relevant parameters with various instruments...... Anyway, I didn't find anything, and if I had to say that the golden tower of the brass tower really existed, it was probably the fire-breathing dragon in the garage. ”
Dikun chuckled twice and said.
Xia Ran thought for a moment, he didn't think that this was a rumor spread by falsehood, because he himself also happened to see the tower of the world's truth at that time.
Maybe there was something special during that time that made the tower appear from being hidden for a moment, and because not everyone was staring at the Genting District all day long, it was normal for fewer people to see it at that moment......
As for what the hell was going on with that tower, he couldn't say, and he didn't have the idea of seriously exploring it, it seemed to be ridiculously high. Although his intuition did not have any warning, it was very likely that in such a high-level matter, his intuition ability could not do anything.
"Mage, how long will it take for the rest of the potion to be completed?" Dikun seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked. "How many are you expected to succeed?"
"I have to make sure that I make it in the best condition every day to maximize the success rate as much as possible, so it's just like one piece a day......" Xia Ran glanced at him strangely, "I told you before, a core material can make up to three pieces, even if all of them are successful, it will be three." ”
“……”
“……”
"That...... Mage, if you can, can you give us all three potions? We will give you a satisfactory price. Di Kun smiled a little embarrassedly, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked.
According to the previous agreement, if Xia Ran successfully made three strengthening potions, then one of them would belong to his reward. And if there are only two or less, they will all belong to the opposite side, and Xia Ran will get additional points and crystals as rewards.
And if they all fail, Xia Ran will not be able to get paid, but he doesn't need to compensate anything, but Di Kun and the others bought the dragon blood from him, and then refined it for him.
Technology is so superior, after all, if there is no Xia Ran, this group of lost people doesn't even know the formula, and if they want to get the blessing of the dragon slayer, they have to work hard to find the side quest of the blade warrior.
- If you don't know it, you have to ask them to kill the Roar Peak and kill Lao Pa, which will have to face a large group of roaring masters above, and may even anger the last dragonborn who is still running around in Skyrim Province.
So they didn't have many choices, and Xia Ran's performance made them feel that as long as they were not particularly unlucky, it was basically impossible for them to encounter the worst situation, so they dared to gamble like this.
However, after getting the first potion, Di Kun found that the effect of this thing was even better than he expected, even for him, it still had obvious effects, and it was worthy of a gold-level strengthening potion.
If he could, he would still like to be able to take them all as he could.
Three potions are not enough for the people in the team to distribute, Tie King Kong has booked one, and he himself is just right for one as MT, Xisha because he has taken up another part of dragon blood, so this time the potion is not her share, but there is only one left I don't know how to distribute it......
Those who don't get the potion have to be compensated from other aspects, and the team's points and crystallization need to be tilted towards such people for a long time to come...... So Dikun still hopes that there will be one less such person.
However, Xia Ran politely refused, not to mention whether he was sure that the three potions would be successful now, and he had no reason to give up-
As a magician, he would not have special resources to invest in physical attributes, and this kind of precious props that can directly help him strengthen these shortcomings, there is no reason to give up.
……
……
That night.
"Speaking of which, ma'am, why would you want to do such a thing?"
Xia Ran reappeared in that spiritual space, followed the Demon God Teacher to study hard, and asked such a question by the way.
People are resilient creatures, and the lost are the best among them, the real leaders, after all, the former may need to run around the world, but the latter needs to run around in different worlds, how can they survive without strong adaptability?
So Xia Ran is now accustomed to the painting style of Mephalah's magic classroom, although it is impossible for him to really regard Ms. Whispering as a tireless gardener and female teacher, but he is not trembling, he does not dare to breathe, and he does not dare to take the initiative to ask questions.
"What do you mean?" Mephalah's voice sounded calmly, no longer low.
"Do you know what I'm referring to......" Xia Ran said helplessly, the other party didn't seem to want to talk about this topic?
“……”
“……”
"Do you know the origins of those guys who are different from us and are called the Holy Spirit?" After a brief moment of silence, Mephala suddenly spoke.
Xia Ran thought quickly, and then replied cautiously: "I know very little, and there are several different versions, the only one that is certain is that they were persuaded by Lockhan to participate in the creation of the world, and sacrificed themselves......"
However, the process of creation also allows most of the beings who participate in the whole process to directly split and die, and turn into the cornerstone of the present world, the "earth bones......
And the remaining beings called the "Holy Spirit" have to cease all activities in order to stabilize the present world, and fall into an eternal sleep.
It is precisely because of this that these demon gods are completely different, they did not participate in the creation of the world, they retained their own integrity, neither dissolved death and turned into earth bones, nor did they stop all activities and fell into a deep sleep.
After all, they are no different from those holy spirits, they are all immortal beings, but they are just the difference between whether they participated in the creation of the world or not-
The immortal beings who participated in the creation of the world and paid the price are called "Aedra", a word from the High Elves word that roughly means "our ancestors", meaning that these revered spirits, gods, are the ancestors of all species.
Immortal beings who did not participate in the creation of the world and retained their own integrity were called "Daedra", a word that also derives from the High Elves and roughly means "not our ancestors".
- This is the difference between a god and a demon god.
You're right, so have you ever wondered why the Holy Spirit would do something like that? Paying such a huge price to create the world with the mortal race? ”
Mephala's tone seemed to carry a hint of helplessness, and there seemed to be a hint of self-deprecation.
"Most of the Holy Spirits who were deceived by Locke Khan died, Magnus fled before the world was created, knocking out the great hole in the sun, and Lockhan was gouged out of his heart by the other Spirits...... Are they stupid? ”
"This ......"
Xia Ran was also a little unsure, of course he wouldn't think that the existence of this level was stupid, and he didn't have the confidence to be so arrogant.
"Quite simply, our entire universe is a dream of some primordial great being, the dream of the head of God. In this dream, there was nothing at first, only various absolute concepts, and these absolute concepts are the gods now. ”
Mephala said lightly.
"But although the gods are immortal, they are also limited by the concept when they represent the concept, so it is impossible to transcend the god's dream, and the moment Anu wakes up, there is nothing left."
"So they want to create the present world and the mortal race, although the present world is fragile and mortals are perishable, but all these are the result of the concentrated expression of the concepts they represent, both physical and spiritual are free, so they have the potential to transcend the dream of God's head, which is the purpose of their creation."
Xia Ran suddenly understood, the fall at this time was precisely for the ascension at that time, and death was not an unacceptable state for those immortal existences, maybe it was like the mobile phone was turned off.
It is better to fight than to do nothing, and wait until the primordial beings wake up, and they will not be able to leave anything for a moment.
It is no wonder that the Holy Spirit chose to create the world, and although the demon god did not embark on this path, he also had a close relationship with the present world, and often engaged in wind and rain, probably in order to find the slightest possibility of detachment...... It's no wonder Nairn is called the Arena.
"So you get it, right? Not only me, but others have taken certain actions after discovering your variables from outside the world...... You don't belong to this world, but so what? ”
Mephala chuckled.
"We can satisfy the benefits you want, because you have brought us something more important...... You must think that what I promised you is false, but what I said is true. ”
Because everything in this world is of little significance to the demon gods, if they can't find a way to get rid of the god's dream before Anu wakes up, everything they have will disappear in an instant, and nothing will be left.
Therefore, after discovering the variable of the lost, their first reaction was definitely not anger, and then ruthlessly sanctioned and attacked, but reciprocated with the greatest tolerance...... They silently observe, then search for suitable targets and carry out their own plans.
After all, although it is not the same as the result expected at the beginning, it is a clear possibility that can ensure that they will not dissipate with this world, and we must seize it no matter what.
Xia Ran didn't know what to say, he could only be embarrassed, although he didn't feel that he was the only protagonist of the destiny with adventures, but now it was determined by Mephala that people like him also started in double digits-
There are even some demon gods who diversify their investments and don't put their eggs in one basket, and Mephalah doesn't know if that's the case.
"Then why are you looking for someone like me? I'm too weak to help you or anything, ma'am? He had one more question.
"For I do not believe in the higher ones among you, whose persons are no less than ours, and who, because of their particularity, are capable of exerting more terrible powers in the material world than we are......"
Mephala said bluntly.
"There is such a being in Snow City, you are not aware of his existence, but he seems to be trying to pry the cornerstone of the whole world, if you trade with such an existence, even I am not sure, or you are easier to control."
Xia Ran's face suddenly fell, does this kind of speech mean that he is a good bully?
"Instead of thinking nonsense, you might as well hurry up, I can see that there are still two or three months, and the long river in the future will set off huge waves, and then things will no longer be clear, there must be something big about to happen......"
Mephala didn't mean to comfort Xia Ran, but bluntly told him that time was running out.
