Chapter 248: The Spiral of Past and Future
It's all over.
When he came back to his senses, Rhodes had returned to the library where he was from, the only difference was that there was a sleeping girl in his arms at the moment. In the crook of the arm, you can clearly feel the weight of Alice, as well as the faint fragrance, if it is a weekday, Rod may enjoy it. But now, with a serious face, he put the girl in his hand on the chair next to him, and soon, the air began to shake, and then another figure of Alice walked out of the void and came to Rod. Then she bowed her head and bowed respectfully to Rod.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome, I have something very important to ask you."
"I understand, please wait a moment."
Alice nodded at Rod's words, and then she turned to her body and reached out to hold her body's hands. Then the black-haired girl closed her eyes, and soon, a bright and dazzling light appeared on her body, and countless points of light flew out from it, making the originally gloomy library appear brighter and brighter, and soon, Alice in front of Rhodes turned into a huge ball of light, completely enveloping her and Alice's body sitting on the chair.
“—————”
A huge magic array appeared out of thin air, enveloping the ball of light in it, and soon, the light spread out in all directions, and the air flow formed blew through the library, and even the bookshelves couldn't help shaking. But soon, this strange magic array disappeared without a trace, and in front of Rod. There was nothing but Alice, who was sitting in a chair and falling into a deep sleep.
"Woo..............."
It didn't take long for Alice to open her eyes, and she slowly raised her head and glanced at Rod. Then the girl stood up and saluted Rhodes respectfully again.
"The integration went very smoothly, thank you for your assistance, Your Majesty."
"This sentence has already been said just now, and there is no need to say it again." Rod sighed, and then he looked at Alice in front of him seriously. "I have very important things. Need to get answers. I think. You should know what I mean. ”
"Of course, Your Majesty."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Alice's expression did not change at all, she just made a gesture. Accompanied by Alice's gestures. A chair appeared behind Rod. Followed by. The steaming black tea reappeared in the already empty teacup, and the desk, which had been a little scattered before, returned to the state it was in when Rod first came here. And see this scene. Alice smiled slightly, then withdrew her right hand.
That's what she's capable of.........
Glancing at the black tea in front of him, Rod sat back in his chair. Although Alice didn't explain much, if Rodes's anti-heaven understanding of the Six Pillars Demon God Limarin and Christie was inferred, it was absolutely impossible for Alice, who had mastered the history of the past, to have the power to hide in the past and record history so harmlessly to humans and animals. Maybe she will be able to reproduce what happened in the past exactly at the present point in time through some means. In this respect, Alice is definitely not a character to mess with.
But now......... Rod retracted his thoughts, the images of the past that he had seen in the process of helping Alice find her body just now were definitely not topics to laugh about. Especially the scene that appeared in the deepest labyrinth at the end of the most coquettish was incomprehensible to Rhodes no matter what. And now, he desperately needs an answer.
"I know what you want to ask, Your Majesty, but before that, please forgive me for being rude, how much do you know about the Dragon Soul Continent?"
"Acquaintance?"
Hearing this topic, Rod frowned, he felt that this topic seemed to be a little far away from his question, but he still answered honestly. In fact, this is the foundation of the basics for any player. The Void Dragon opened up a space of order in the chaos, and then the Five Dragons of Creation created the sky and the earth in their own way in this space, and their souls formed a dragon soul shelter, creating this world based on the Seven Illusion Realm and the Four Elemental Planes. And in the depths of the earth, where the border with chaos is the territory of the devil and demons. Since the existence of this worldly realm, the two sides have been fighting endlessly. On the surface, it is a kingdom established by the three great creation dragon souls, led by the country of light, darkness, and law......... At least that's what it says on the official website.
"That's just the history of posterity."
Alice stretched out her hand, and soon, the large and thick book that Rhodes had seen in the illusion of history appeared out of thin air and appeared between Alice's hands.
"Originally, after creating this space of order under His Majesty to avoid chaos, the remaining four Creation Dragon Souls have always been subservient to my lord, and the Dragon Soul Continent at that time was completely my lord's territory. All nations are subject to Our Lord, without exception. ”
"If you say that..............."
Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly remembered that he had gone on a mission with Marlene a long time ago, when he accidentally entered a ruin, and one of Rod's cards was awakened there. Not only that, but Rhodes also gained a new amount of power there, which, according to Marlene, was a relic of the kingdom of Fasikal. And this kingdom is exactly as Alice said, its ruins are all over the entire corner of the Dragon Soul Continent, and their civilizations and ruins can be found anywhere. If, as Alice said, in the beginning, the Dragon Soul Continent itself was a unified country, then this puzzle can also be solved. But.........
"If that's the case, then why did it split later?"
"It's not a split, it's just a trusteeship."
With that, Alice reached out and flipped through the pages.
"Don't you understand? Your Majesty, why do we want to build this continent? ”
"For what? This is not simple..............." Saying this, Rod was suddenly stunned for a moment, indeed. He found that he did not seem to have a very important issue in mind. Although clues and answers had been given in many ways before, it was not until this moment, when Alice placed them in front of him, that Rod suddenly realized that things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined. Indeed, the Dragon Soul Continent was established to resist chaos and give the people of order a space to survive. And the Dragon Soul Shelter is like an eggshell that constructs a new order and resists chaos at the same time. And once the dragon soul protection loses its effect, chaos will take advantage of the void. This is all common knowledge that players know, and they have also experienced this in subsequent games. But......... Rhodes found himself overlooking one thing. That is, this continent may be far more fragile and dangerous than you think.
Let's take an analogy. It's like the earth in the universe, because of the protection of the atmosphere, human beings can live on the ground, but once the atmosphere is lost. Humans who have no device to rely on will not last long in a vacuum, and will die. But. Turn. Unless humans themselves destroy the atmosphere, they will hardly be threatened by this
Then, if you think of the earth as the Dragon Soul Continent. And what if the entire universe is seen as chaos?
They are desperate to tear apart, to wipe out the atmosphere, and to destroy all living things on this land. If that's the case, will the planet still be spared? In turn, the Dragon Soul Continent has been fighting against Chaos, so how much chaos they are facing ——— infinite, this is an infinite value.
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but shudder, and a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in his mind, a beautiful sphere suspended in the universe, but other than it, as far as the eye could see, the entire universe was full of moving, turbid chaos. It's like throwing a hollow glass ball into a turbid, dangerous sea full of angry waves and reefs. What's worse is that the sea itself is full of consciousness to destroy this glass ball.
Under such circumstances, the Dragon Soul Continent was able to hold on until now without being smashed to pieces by a slap from Chaos, which Rod felt was simply incredible.
"As you can imagine, Your Majesty, the destruction of the Dragon Soul Continent is bound to come, and the end of the past and future cannot be stopped. After all, this is just a temporary shelter, and it can't exist forever. And what our lord and the other four His Majesty have done is to find a way beyond this fate, which is bound to be destroyed. For this reason, they left this world and left their strength to maintain the protection of the dragon soul. This is the origin of the inheritors of the dragon soul, although they are called the inheritors of the dragon soul, but after all, they are nothing more than containers used to maintain stability and absorb power. ”
Lightly saying that she had no respect for all the dragon soul inheritors in this world, Alice turned the pages again.
But the will of life will be changed, and when time is long enough to erase the counsel of the past, foolish and boring battles will arise again. They forget the responsibility they originally carried, and just indulge in meaningless battles and proofs, wantonly using the power that does not belong to them to do things that should not be done by them at all. But......... After all, it's just the vulgar desires of mortals, and it's not worth mentioning. ”
In just four words, Alice faintly erased the efforts and achievements of all the dragon soul inheritors since the Creation War to the present.
"So what you did before was ..............."
Remembering what had happened before, Rhodes opened her mouth to ask, and hearing Rhodes' inquiry, Alice was silent for a moment.
"Since the fate of destruction is inevitable, this means that the trajectory of the fate of the Dragon Soul Continent is fixed, and as long as this past is repeated again and again, and a large enough deviation is added to it, maybe the fate trajectory of the entire Dragon Soul Continent will collapse, so as to find a future that is more in line with our needs. So, we go back in time again and again, making different decisions and actions in the same scenario, in order to make the trajectory of fate as biased as possible. That's our plan. ”
"So, did you succeed?"
Hearing this, Rod couldn't help but ask. And in the face of his question, this time, Alice did not answer immediately. Instead, she was silent for a long time before she spoke again.
"We won't be able to get an answer until the real results come out."
The black-haired girl responded with an unwavering tone. (To be continued......)
