Lost Narrative Poetry

"I don't know what they are talking about. It is indeed easy to get all kinds of information clues in places like hotels and pubs, but not all of them are valuable. The nonsense of these drunkards is junk information. kind of."

Di Kun sighed, then thought about it again, and organized his words——

"It probably means that one of them saw a tall tower appearing in Yunding District in the morning, when we came back. The whole body was made of brass or gold... but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, and they were the only ones. See."

"them?"

"Oh, it's not just this person now, there are also some people who said they saw it, but the number is very small... It's hard to be sure whether they really saw something, or whether they were spreading rumors and making themselves believe it. "

Di Kun spread his hands and poured Xia Ran a glass of wine: "Anyway, once such a clue appears, someone will always confirm it. The result is that the tower they talked about cannot be found in Yunding District... Let's have a drink. ?"

"No, thank you, I don't drink... but you really can't find anything?"

Xia Ran waved her 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 the breath, and I can't scan it with my mental power. There are also some technical geeks who have used various instruments to measure relevant parameters... Anyway, I haven't found anything. I insist on saying that. If that brass tower and the golden tower really exist, it's probably the fire-breathing dragon in the garage."

Di Kun chuckled twice and said this.

Xia Ran thought thoughtfully, but he didn't think this was a rumor spread by false rumors, because at that time, he happened to see the tower that seemed to embody the truth of the world.

Maybe some special circumstances happened during that time, which caused the tower to briefly appear from hiding for a moment, and because not everyone stared at the Genting District all day long, that moment It’s normal to see relatively few people at that moment...

As for what the tower was about, he couldn't tell, and he had no intention of exploring it seriously. The level of that thing seemed to be ridiculously high. Although his intuition does not give any warning, it is very likely that in such a high-level matter, the ability of intuition is useless.

"Mage, how long will it take for the remaining potions to be finished?" Di Kun seemed to have remembered something and asked quickly. "How many are expected to be successful?"

"I have to make sure to make it in the best condition every day to increase the success rate as much as possible, so I just take one pill a day..." Xia Ran gave him a strange look, "I told you before, a core The materials can be used to make up to three pieces, even if all are successful, it will only be three pieces."

"..."

"..."

"Um...Mage, if you can, can you give us all three potions? We will give you a satisfactory price." Di Kun smiled awkwardly, hesitated for a moment, and asked. .

According to the previous agreement, if Xia Ran successfully produced three strengthening potions, then one of them would be his reward. And if there are less than two, they all belong to the opposite side, and Xia Ran will receive additional points and crystals as reward.

And if all failed, Xia Ran would not be able to get paid, but he would not need to pay anything. Instead, Di Kun and others bought the dragon blood from him and then refined it for him.

Technology investment is so superior. After all, without Xia Ran, this group of lost people wouldn't even know the formula. If they want to get the dragon slayer's blessing, they have to work hard to find the blade warrior's side mission.

——Maybe they have to ask them to go to the Roaring Peak and kill Lao Pa. Then they 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 really didn't have many choices, and Xia Ran's performance made them feel that as long as they and others were not particularly unlucky, it was basically impossible to encounter the worst situation, so they dared to take a gamble like this.

However, after getting the first potion, Di Kun found that the effect of this thing was better than he expected. Even for him, it still had obvious effects. It was worthy of being a gold-level strengthening potion.

If possible, he still hopes to win as many as possible.

Three potions were not enough for the team members. Tiejingang ordered one. As a MT, he was suitable for one. Xisha took up another portion of dragon blood, so she did not have a share in the potion this time. But there is only one left and I don’t know how to distribute it...

Those who did not get the medicine will have to compensate in other ways. The team's points and crystallization will need to be tilted towards such people in the next long period of time... So Di Kun still hopes that there will be fewer such people. One is one.

However, Xia Ran declined. Regardless of whether he was still sure whether all three potions would be successful, he had no reason to give up——

As a magician, he will not have dedicated resources to invest in physical attributes, and there is no reason to give up this precious prop that can directly help him strengthen these shortcomings.

…

…

That night.

"Speaking of which, ma'am, why would you want to do such a thing?"

Xia Ran appeared in that mental space again, studying hard with the Demon God teacher, and asked such a question by the way.

Humans are creatures with strong adaptability, and lost people are the best and real leaders among them. 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? Gotta come down?

So Xia Ran has long been accustomed to the style of Mephala's magic classroom. Although it is impossible for him to really regard Ms. Whisper as a tireless gardener and female teacher, he is not so trembling that he doesn't dare to be so grand. Panting, not daring to take the initiative to ask questions.

"What do you mean?" Mephala's voice sounded calmly, no longer deep.

"You know exactly 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 origin of those guys who are different from us and are called Holy Spirits?" Mephala said suddenly after a short moment of silence.

Xia Ran thought quickly, and then answered cautiously: "What I know is limited, and there are several different versions. The only thing that is certain is that they were persuaded by Lockhan, participated in the creation of the world, and sacrificed themselves …”

Because of the process of creation, most of the beings who participated in the whole process directly disintegrated and died, turning into the cornerstone of the world, "earth bones"...

The remaining beings called "Holy Spirits" had to stop all activities and fall into eternal sleep in order to stabilize the world.

It is precisely because of this that the demon gods like Mephala are completely different. They did not participate in the creation of the world and retained their own integrity. They neither cracked and died and turned into earth bones, nor stopped all activities and fell into a deep sleep.

In the final analysis, they are no different from the Holy Spirits. They are both immortal existences. The only difference is whether they participated in the creation of the world——

The immortal beings who participated in the creation of the world and paid the price are called "Aedra". This word comes from the High Elf language and roughly means "our ancestors", which means these respected holy spirits and gods. Is the ancestor of all species.

The immortal existence that did not participate in the creation of the world and retained its own integrity is called "Daedra". This word also comes from the high elf language and roughly means "not our ancestors."

——This is the difference between gods and demons.

"What you said is very accurate, but have you ever thought about why the Holy Spirit would do such a thing? Pay such a huge price to create the world and the mortal race?"

Mephala's tone seemed to have a hint of helplessness, as well as a hint of self-deprecation.

"Most of the Holy Spirits who were deceived by Lockhane died. Magnus escaped before the world was created and crashed out of the big hole in the sun. Lockhane's heart was dug out by other Holy Spirits...Are they stupid? ?”

"this……"

Xia Ran was also a little unsure. Of course, he wouldn't think that a being of this level was stupid, and he didn't have the confidence to be so arrogant.

"It's very simple. Our entire universe is a dream of the most primitive great being Anu, the dream of the head of God. There was nothing in this dream at the beginning, only various absolute concepts. These absolute concepts These are the gods now.”

Mephala said calmly.

"But although the gods are immortal, they are also restricted by concepts when they represent concepts. Therefore, it is impossible to transcend the dream of gods. The moment Anu wakes up, nothing will be left."

"So they want to create the world and the mortal race. Although the world is fragile and mortals are perishable, all of this is the result of the concentrated expression of the concepts they represent. Both body and spirit are free, so there are transcendent gods. The potential of the first dream is their purpose in creating the world."

Xia Ran suddenly understood that the fall at this time was just for the ascension at that time. Death was not an unacceptable state for those immortal beings, maybe it was like turning off the phone.

Rather than doing nothing, waiting for the original existence to wake up, they will be unable to leave anything in an instant, it is better to fight.

It’s no wonder that the Holy Spirit chose to create the world. Although the Demon God did not take this path, he is still closely related to the world. He often causes troubles and troubles, probably all in order to find the possibility of transcendence... It’s no wonder that Nairn will It's called an arena.

"So you understand, right? Not only me, but also some other entities, after discovering that you are variables from outside the world, they all took certain actions... Although you do not belong to this world, so what? How about it?"

Mephala chuckled.

"We can satisfy all the benefits you want, because you have brought us something more important... You must think that the statements I promised you before are false, but everything I said is true."

Because everything in this world is of little significance to the demon gods. If they cannot find a way to transcend the god's dream before Anu wakes up, everything they have will disappear in an instant, leaving nothing behind.

Therefore, after they discovered the variable of the lost people, their first reaction was definitely not anger, and then ruthlessly punished them. Instead, they responded with maximum tolerance... They observed silently, then searched for suitable targets, and carried out own plan.

After all, although it is inconsistent with the result originally expected, it is at least a clear possibility that can ensure that they will not disappear with the world. No matter what, we must seize it.

Xia Ran didn't know what to say. He could only say that he was embarrassed. Although he didn't think he was the only destiny protagonist who had adventures, but now through Mephala, it was confirmed that there were at least two people like him. Counting starts——

Some demon gods even diversify their investments and don't put their eggs in one basket. Mephala doesn't know if this is the case.

"Then why do you want to find someone like me? I'm too weak to help you, ma'am?" He still had another question.

"Because I don't believe in the superiors among you. Their status is no less than ours, and because of their special characteristics, they can exert more terrifying power than us in the material world..."

Mephala said bluntly.

"There is such a being in Xueman City. You can't detect his existence, but he seems to be trying to move the cornerstone of the entire world. If we deal with such a being, even I have no confidence. It’s easier for you to control.”

Xia Ran's face suddenly darkened. Does this statement mean that he is easy to bully?

"Instead of thinking wildly, you might as well seize the time. I can see that in two or three months, there will be huge waves in the future. What will happen after that will no longer be clear. Something big must be happening... …”

Mephala had no intention of comforting Xia Ran, but bluntly told him that time was running out.
