Lord of the Witches

As the laughing clown carrying the boat's lantern spoke those words, a guess arose in Tang Qi's heart.

The reason was not sufficient, but he felt that it was most likely correct.

"The [Sage without Mercy] who disrupted the Second Infinite and caused headaches for all the gods in that world may... be a sage who was not selected."

There is almost no evidence for Tang Qi's idea.

Tang Qi did not hide it and directly said the words "Sage without Mercy" to the clown.

The clown's answer was:

"Dear Sage Candidate, I will answer all your questions as allowed by the rules. This is my mission."

"But I can't provide you with any other information about 'sage', 'sage candidate', or 'sage loser'. This is not some weird rule set by a secret society, it's just that I don't know about it."

"Actually, I don't know who you are either?"

"From my perspective, your form looks like this..."

After the words fell, the clown reached out and touched the ripples.

In the surging light, a ghostly and abstract picture appeared in Tang Qi's eyes.

To describe it simply, it is a screen-full of mosaics.

Tang Qi suddenly understood this clown. If he continued to look like this, he would laugh so hard that he couldn't help himself, and his lips would reach his ears.

After confirming certain rules, Tang Qi began to ask questions one by one.

After finally catching an "insider", Tang Qi thought he needed to be satisfied once and for all.

Some of these questions are important, and some are actually not that important.

"Is every Ship of Fools different?"

"Yes, there are no identical wise men in the world, and naturally there are no identical ships of fools."

"How to go from candidate to official 'sage'?"

"Continue to look for other ships of fools, but when will I become a true sage, I don't know the answer."

“Can the Ship of Fools be dismantled?”

"Of course. When the Ship of Fools breaks away from the sage who created it and begins to sail freely, to a certain extent it is just a divine object or a supernatural object. Not only can it be dismantled, it can even undergo any changes."

"The preciousness of the Ship of Fools does not lie in its material, the symbols imprinted on it, or its extraordinary power."

"The Ship of Fools is the embodiment of the 'Sage's Will'. No matter what changes occur, even if all the parts on it are 'updated', as long as the will on it does not dissipate, the Ship of Fools will always be the Ship of Fools."

"This is also the reason why countless gods have failed to imitate the Ship of Fools... Only the wise can create the Ship of Fools."

Some questions will receive more detailed answers from the clown.

Tang Qi suddenly remembered that the "Sea of ​​Fools' Ships" that Tumu had faked was indeed as the clown said, none of them were real.

After a moment of pause, Tang Qi continued to ask:

"The scene just now was a kind of communication?"

"Yes, when two ships of fools merge, the wills of the sages on the ship will communicate, and the creatures on the ship will also exchange material or spiritual things. As for where those things come from, you will know when you become a sage. "

"Although the Ship of Fools is precious and rare, there are still some gods in the Mystery of the Boundless Collection who are trying to collect it."

"According to common sense, it should not be difficult for a certain god to own two ships of fools at the same time. Why not?"

Tang Qi thought for a moment and asked a long question.

The clown has already stood up. Under the dim light, his gorgeous makeup does not look weird, but gives people a sense of sanctity.

He answered directly without any hesitation or thinking:

"This is one of the rules of the Ship of Fools: If you cannot get the recognition of the 'Sage's Will', then no matter what method you try, you cannot own two Ships of Fools at the same time, even if the being who wants to do so is a supreme divinity. , the result is the same.”

"This is not the power of destiny, nor any other divine authority. This is a concept controlled by the will of the sage and will not be changed. Even the most powerful reality distorter cannot compete with the will of the sage at the conceptual level. .”

"In addition, there is another rule here: you can have two ships of fools at a certain moment, but as soon as the exchange is over and my mission is over, you as a 'sage candidate' must also make a choice and let one of them go. ….”

"When you become a true sage, you can create another Ship of Fools, and then release the other Ship of Fools you hold."

"If you lose, the Ship of Fools you hold will be lost due to various unknown coincidences..."

"This is also the outcome for other losers. Once there is communication, but in the end it is discovered that the ambitions are different, then there will be no way to keep any ship of fools."

Somewhat unexpectedly, the clown told a slightly cruel news.

Tang Qi originally thought that the big octopus's prompt was to let him collect as many "Ships of Fools" as possible.

But now it seems that the rules of the Ship of Fools do not allow this.

"I can only have two at a certain point, but as soon as the 'exchange' is over, I have to let one of them go."

"This means that the ship of fools that I have held for a long time can only be one. This rule even continues until I become a true sage."

After understanding the rules, Tang Qi immediately felt that time was tense.

Without further delay, he continued to ask:

"Was the First Prophet the creator of the first Ship of Fools? Was He the Supreme Godhead?"

"yes!"

The shortest, but most shocking answer came from the clown's mouth.

Tang Qi's mind immediately roared.

He never expected that he would learn about the existence of a supreme god again under such circumstances.

The original prophet!

The creator of the first Ship of Fools, an unimaginably ancient creature, he is also a supreme divinity.

Just when Tang Qi was surprised, he spit out the laughing clown after his answer. He suddenly held the ship's lantern high, trying to hang it back on the first ship of fools.

But inexplicably, his movements became clumsy.

I jumped a few times but ended in failure.

Tang Qi knew immediately: the communication time was about to end, and he would soon have to make a choice.

Time suddenly became more tense, and Tang Qi immediately abandoned the large number of questions accumulated in his mind.

Pick out the most critical ones and quickly ask:

"Where have the sages gone?"

"in the dark!"

It seems that because it is coming to an end, the clown's answers become shorter and shorter.

"What to do?"

"explore!"

"Explore what?"

"I'm sorry, respected sage candidates, there is no definite answer to this question. What the sages are exploring may be a secret, an answer to a question, or some kind of vitality."

"In this world, there are creatures who indulge in enjoyment, there are creatures who are crazy and indulgent, there are creatures who are ignorant and confused, and there are creatures who give up on themselves... Naturally, there will also be creatures who explore and seek knowledge. The sages thought so and did so."

After answering this question, the clown seemed to have hung up the ship's lantern by chance.

It was also at this moment that the ripples below the two Fool's Ships suddenly became violent and began to collide.

They were obviously two wooden boats, so the noise of the collision should have been slight and insignificant.

But at this moment, Tang Qi seemed to see two eternal "brilliances" colliding with each other in the darkness, each time bursting out infinite points of light.

The absolute darkness was illuminated, and wonderful and magnificent worlds were revealed one after another.

At this time, the originally clumsy clown jumped back with great dexterity.

He stood under the dark mast again, exposing his bare buttocks and laughing wildly.

As the clown laughs, this unmanned "Ship of Fools" automatically starts sailing.

The clown laughs, the snake eats the bird eggs, the king catches lice, the old woman bakes pancakes, the child holds up the silverbait, the woman tries on the necklace...

The ship of fools beneath them slowly deviated from its original parallel course and headed towards the center of the bursting light.

According to the rules, after the exchange, Tang Qi, as the "sage candidate", must make a choice.

Two ships of fools, only one can be held.

In other words, Tang Qi could completely give up the first ship and hold the second ship instead.

But inexplicably, He chose the opposite.

The second Ship of Fools seemed to know the answer without Tang Qi opening his mouth. It sailed away on its own initiative.

The strange thing is that Tang Qi had no idea of ​​stopping him.

Although He obtained this Ship of Fools, it was far less easy than when He obtained the first one.

And from the external appearance, there are other aspects.

Comparing the two ships of fools, the one with clowns, vipers, kings... and other puppet lives is obviously more agile and powerful than the first one.

For some reason, Tang Qi still chose the first one, a shabby version of the Ship of Fools.

ps: If nothing unexpected happens, there will be two more fish tomorrow. Please tell me, am I writing on a stand-alone machine?
