God Simulator

Chicard later learned that Nibelungen could leave the Kingdom of Mist.

"I'm scared." The boy stammered.

Even with the assistance of Xingnao Mint, he still speaks very poorly and needs gestures to assist expression in many places.

Chicard could understand.

People trust familiar places more and are worried about the unfamiliar outside world.

As a new kingdom, the Resurrection Kingdom also spent a lot of time and courage before taking steps to the outside world. What's more, it's an extremely closed place like the Country of Mist.

"When you live outside, you have to have a name."

"You have to pick a name," Zicard said.

The boy showed confusion about the name.

The Nibelungs are indistinguishable from each other, because eventually they will become one, so there is no concept of names, and there is no need to distinguish one from another.

Chicard saw that he didn't understand at all, so he named him Bernie.

"Bernie."

"who?"

"No, my name is Bernie. You have to react and call me "You".

"Bernie?"

"I!"

"now it's right."

"Father!"

"I'm not your father."

"Mother?"

"You have to call me teacher."

"teacher!"

…

The Nibelungs are naturally darlings of the ice element. Their blue blood is extremely poisonous to most life forms. This clan will only exist in Niflheim, the country of fog.

Young Bernie gestured continuously, his blue eyes flashing with pride: "We are born from the inexhaustible spring, and then flow into various places, sleeping until we wake up."

Zicard asked him: "Why do you fall asleep? Why do you wake up?"

"Sleep... because you are weak, and when you grow up, you wake up."

Sleeping under the ice will make the Nibelungs grow rapidly. Sleeping allows them to integrate into the twelve glaciers of the Kingdom of Mist, absorb the ice elements and toxins inside, and transform from babies into children.

But once you enter the growth stage like Bernie, you will feel an ancient calling.

That's instinct and the only way to continue evolving.

The Nibelung roots will approach and merge with each other, just like many tree roots entangled and condensed into one. Their consciousnesses will blend and connect with each other, their bodies will be embedded in each other, and then grow into giants.

The Nibelungen as the core will serve as the heart and brain. He is the main body of the giant, and other consciousnesses will become his branches and auxiliaries.

The giant is the adult Nibelung.

The Nibelungs are the juvenile bodies of giants.

This is how the residents of the Land of Mist grow up.

While chewing bighorn sheep ribs, Bernie said vaguely: "The Nibelungs either sleep or wait, that's how it goes."

Knowing this truth, Chicard fell into trouble.

Now it was unsure whether it was right or wrong to take Bernie out.

According to the ancient traditions and physical needs of the Nibelungs, they must be integrated with each other in order to escape from childhood and grow into a giant who stands tall on the sky and the earth. Otherwise, it will always be in child form.

But growing into a complete giant represents the loss of the Nibelung self and becoming a part of the adult giant. Is this still considered alive?

Zicard couldn't think of an answer.

It asked Bernie: "Do you regret leaving the Country of Fog? If you regret it, I will send you back."

"don't want."

Bernie shook his head and gnawed on the leg of lamb in his hand: "It's delicious here."

That's it.

Bernie left the Country of Fog and came to Sand City, where he stayed in his boyhood forever.

The Nibelungen boy became Chicard's assistant. He followed Chikard around, walking through the streets and alleys, carrying bags and boxes. People soon became familiar with this silver-haired boy.

Bernie loved the coral crystal phase.

When Chikard was writing reports and revising manuscripts, he would carry the coral and use discarded projection crystals to try to capture images.

Chicard discovered that Bernie was very talented in taking crystallographic images, and he truly loved it. So, it allowed the kid to do a realistic shoot using the coral crystal phase.

Bernie learned to use this tool simply by watching himself operate the device.

It didn't take long for the crystal phase captured by the boy to be clearer and brighter than Chikard's. Bernie has a keen eye for freeze frames and can always capture those fleeting precious moments.

Like the smile between lovers, the hungry man taking his first bite of wheat cake, the moment when the drinker shouts with joy, the softening eyes of the war cats when they see the children, the cactus walking alone in the desert. attitude……

These may be scenes that everyone has seen accidentally or intentionally, but if they are frozen and preserved in crystal, they have some kind of momentary and eternal power, which can make time stop in the crystal picture.

"I just thought it looked good, so I took it."

Bernie said sheepishly.

Zicard asked him seriously: "How did you do it?"

"Just take pictures when you see them..."

"I'm talking about the shooting techniques of those crystal phases." The skeleton collector grabbed a thin crystal piece mounted on walnut wood on the table and looked at the boy opposite with his dark eyes.

"That's the use of lenses."

Bernie held the main device of the coral crystal phase in his hands and placed it carefully on the table. He said with a little restraint: "The inside of the crystal phase relies on coral and mirage, but the capture requires crystal lenses, and the imaging also relies on projection crystals... Polishing of crystal lenses.”

According to Bernie's observation, crystal phase imaging is very unstable, sometimes blurry, sometimes dim. In addition to unstable light, another reason is that the clarity is different at different distances.

Because it is polished by hand by craftsmen, each crystal lens has a slightly different curvature.

Bernie's solution was to supplement the lenses.

White air gradually lingered on his fingers, and the ice elements gradually took shape, condensing into a thin and smooth ice sheet.

Bernie fixed it on the crystal lens: "I control the ice element and can constantly adjust the curvature of the ice element lens. In this way, I can find the most suitable distance and angle, and the image formed by the mirage will be clearer."

Chicard fiddled with the coral crystal phase for a while, and the verification results proved that Bernie's operation and understanding were completely correct.

"Bernie, your discovery is of great significance and will rewrite the way everyone uses crystal phases. You are a person born with extraordinary talents, but I hope you will consider ordinary people... The vast majority of people in this world Most people can't control the ice element, even the ice and snow monsters can't be as precise as you."

"Ordinary people?"

A puzzled expression appeared on Bernie's face: "Isn't it good that we are the only ones who know? Teacher."

"Bernie."

Zikad said: "The foods you like include mutton, beef, grapes, sour raspberries, potatoes...the tribal war chess you usually play, and the books you read "Pava's Bizarre Adventure" and "Crystal Empire" ", the clothes and shoes you are wearing, and this coral crystal phase."

The skeleton collector pointed at the huge red coral.

"They are all the fruits of the labor of ordinary people."

"Everything we have now comes from the protection and inspiration given by Lord Yao, but the development of Yao civilization relies on people sharing knowledge and experience with each other."

"Bernie, whether you share it with your original intention or not, I hope you understand that a strong person does not rely on strength to suppress others to express himself. The real strong person is the one who drives everyone forward."

Bernie's eyes were full of surprise: "Why? This is too difficult."

"Why?"

There was a trace of pride on Chikard's bone-cracked face: "This is the Yao people. We have always done this. We always challenge the strong and look forward. Our heroes are passed down from generation to generation, our prophets are all over the world, and our apostles Always protect the people, our gods shine on us.”

Looking at the young man who seemed to understand, the skeleton collector gently patted his thin shoulder.

“So we are never afraid to embark on any unknown road, and any accident, whether lucky or dangerous, will become our motivation.”

…

Five years later, Bernie completed an invention.

In the name of Di Newspaper Collector, he collaborated with two Shacheng scholars and led the production of [Rotating Lens].

This rotating lens is composed of several crystal pieces, and the lens can be adjusted by rotating to make the subject clear enough.

Although it is still not comparable to the accuracy of Bernie's own ice mirror, it has been a major upgrade to the coral crystal phase from a technical level.

In conjunction, Bernie also improved the crystal phase of coral.

He retained the main coral structure and the two mirages as the core, greatly reducing its weight and volume, and fixed and protected it with a square box on the outside.

This new device, named "Collector Crystal Phase", can be fixed with a rope, hung around the neck, or worn diagonally like a backpack, which is very convenient.

One day, Bernie suddenly said to Chicard: "Teacher, I want to return to the Kingdom of Mist."

"There are many Nibelungen people there, and there should be some of them like me who don't want to grow up and want to stay like this."

"I want to tell them everything I've been through so they can take the path they want."

Chicard was stunned.

The appearance of the young man in front of him has not changed in several years, but he seems to have changed again.

There are many, many people in this world, and different people have different ideas.

Some people try their best to become giants, while others want to get rid of giants and remain themselves.

The same goes for Zikad. When a large number of bones ancestors enthusiastically combined with the barnyard monster and obtained the ability of the bone barnyard giant, it still maintained its original skeleton body.

No particular reason.

It's just lighter this way.

…

After six years, Chicard took Bernie back to the Kingdom of Mist.

Standing in his hometown, Bernie took a deep breath, and then he made a strange whirring sound, like the cold wind of winter or the howl of some kind of wild beast.

Following his call, children emerged from the underground ice one after another. The Nibelungen children crawled to the ground like moles, and they rustled closer to Bernie.

However, they were stopped by the big boy who had no intention of becoming a giant.

The children looked at Bernie curiously.

Bernie opened his arms and smiled and said something to them.

Many ice elements outline scenes in the sand city in the air: the sand rose garden like a steel jungle, tall tree men and small elves, fierce battles at martial arts conferences, magnificent civilization colossi, people playing standing long jump Bamboo people, war cats switching forms, swaying ancestors with bones, the sun, yellow sand, lakes, heavy grapes and lazy camels...

Shortly after.

One child bravely walked out of the ice fog. He stepped on the hot sand outside with his bare feet, then raised his head and looked at the blazing fireball in the sky in surprise.

Then he walked out step by step.

This time, only three children followed Bernie into the new world outside, but this was already a big step for the Nibelungs to enter the outside world.

Chicard suddenly noticed that Bernie was surrounded by a gentle white light.

It's an oracle!

After Bernie reacted, he knelt on the ground and chanted softly to thank God for his gift.

When the divine power disappeared, he stood up and ran to Chicard excitedly.

"Teacher, I am a prophet!"

Chicard grinned and patted the child on the shoulder: "Well done, let's lead everyone forward!"

"yes!"

Seeing the young man's energetic appearance, Chicard felt even happier than he had become a hero.

It finally understood what Andre said.

Children will carry our shadows with them to a future we cannot see.

As parents and adults, we must set an example now.
