The sun is high

With Theseus's description, the special life forms that once flourished in the oceans of distant times gradually became concrete.

"I have told you more than once that when you want to try to understand these strange and distant things, it is best not to habitually use your past common sense, or apply the knowledge you already have to it. … It’s very inappropriate.”

Faced with another reminder from Theseus, Shuge nodded in agreement.

He hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "I am very curious about one thing. Why in that era, these creatures and dependents who were enough to form a group showed such a high degree of convergence? They may not belong to the ocean. But they are all similar to the 'community' composed of the 'Color of Life', what is the reason for this?"

"This is a very academic question..."

Theseus' face slowly fluctuated, and he replied: "If I want to answer this question in detail, I'm afraid I have to list a series of reasons such as 'one, two, three, four, five', but this conclusion has no practical meaning. Not so big."

"In my opinion, there is only one main reason for all this."

Theseus raised a finger, and a large amount of mist appeared, forming a miniature black sun above it.

At this moment, even though he was in the shelter of a dream, Xiuge still inevitably felt a bit of a bone-chilling coldness.

Theseus's voice came slowly in the cold.

"Under the gaze of the black sun, the ethnic groups and life in any world must regard survival and continuation as their primary goal. And if you want to achieve this goal, you must ensure that you have enough power, or choose to compete with Those already powerful forces merge into one.”

"And this is the essence of the Familia and the ethnic groups composed of the Familia."

"The Roots of Destiny, the Walking Forest, the rats that follow the Earth Mother Goddess, or the incomplete offspring imitated by the Dark Abyss Palace... can all be regarded as representatives, but they are truly integrated into one. And the only ones who fully embrace the will of the gods are still the 'community' in the ocean."

Shuge frowned. Being able to get such a comment from a creature with such a weird personality like Theseus was enough to prove the specialness of those "ocean communities", so he asked: "Their speciality is completely Is it from the 'Color of Life' mentioned earlier? They reappeared after disappearing for so long because the 'Color of Life' began to gather again? Or... they were reawakened by the black sun?"

"Since Charron was successfully expelled, the 'color of life' in the boundless sea has completely escaped the control of the gods' will. They have been evenly dispersed throughout the ocean, and have begun to evolve with the communities that were once united under the same faith. evolution."

Theseus slowly explained: "In the past, I have discussed the relationship between Charron and the Color of Life with the 'Mentor' more than once. At first we thought that the Color of Life was the ocean god. The specific expression of power, the two should be one...but after Charron was expelled, we discovered that their relationship is not like this."

Although at this time, Theseus's face was still in chaos, Xiuge could feel an inexplicable solemnity from the mist.

"The one that was successfully expelled seems to be just a void will. The so-called Charron is actually most likely the condensed expression of countless 'colors of life'. Its power has always existed, and it is even a part of the ocean. … So I think it’s not really dead and it’s never really gone.”

"I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer on this question, but from my own point of view, I think those so-called 'communities' that have begun to revive and become active will inevitably become an important threat to you. "

Following Theseus's words, the colors of life bound in the transparent tank began to change their colors again as if they were affected. They appeared more gorgeous and weirder than before.

"However, you have experienced it personally... the 'Color of Life' is not only a source of threats, but also a resource and power that can be exploited."

Theseus snapped his fingers, and the transparent jar returned to its original shape. Then he picked up the "drink" processed from the "Color of Life" and took two slow sips: "But, what is it? Whether to eliminate the 'color of life' as a trouble, or to find ways to understand and refine it, the choice lies entirely with you...or, in other words, with the current 'masters' of Van En."

After hearing this, Shuge nodded silently.

Compared with the past, the tips and information given by Theseus this time were very important and detailed. At least Xiuge was able to clearly understand the existence of the special power "Color of Life" through this, and also learned about their connection with The connection between the "communities" mentioned by the strange fish is definitely an extremely important guide for the residents of Vann who are still in the fog.

After successfully digesting the information, Shuge then asked: "So, about the so-called 'community'..."

"In the past, this word could indeed be used to symbolize great danger and trouble, but it is different now."

Theseus let out two strange laughs: "It is very difficult to regroup the 'Color of Life' scattered throughout the ocean. Therefore, even if 'communities' have begun to appear, their scale and development speed are still limited. It is destined to be very limited...and with the weapons Van En has today, they are enough to pose a threat to these guys."

"They are the ones who should be afraid."

Theseus' explanation made Shuge feel relieved from the bottom of his heart.

What he is most worried about now is that before various countries and organizations have reached a new consensus and the situation in Van'en is still turbulent, they will begin to be forced to face new powerful enemies.

Nowadays, the will and attitude of the people in power in various countries are unknown. No one knows whether they will join the Black Sun Society in order to relieve their own pressure when facing sudden and huge pressure.

Later, Xiuge asked some detailed questions about the "color of life" and "community". After Theseus became a little impatient, he was about to get up and leave.

"By the way, can I take some of this thing with me?"

Before leaving, Shuge pointed carefully at the "drink" placed on the table.

Seeing this, Theseus sneered. He turned back to the computer screen and waved his hand casually: "Take it if you want, but the amount left is limited. Even I can't use these things as water all day long." drink."

Shuge was deeply suspicious of Theseus's claims.

But since the other party had agreed, Xiuge was naturally too lazy to be polite. He quickly picked up two cans and was about to turn around and leave when Theseus reminded him: "By the way, the child you saved casually before... this thing It’s also quite helpful.”

"But remember, pay attention to the dosage, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

…

When Shuge left the dream and woke up, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

In the past, at this time, the port had already started to be busy. Fishermen would always set out at this time, especially those who needed to catch special fish offshore. But today, the port seems extremely quiet. From the cabin Looking inside and outside, Xiuge could only see the lights of the sentry and the patrolling soldiers of the Dawn Society.

The news of the strange fish caught next to the pier at nightfall yesterday and the unusual behavior in the offshore waters during this period have already made most fishermen alert. Earning income through fishing is of course extremely important, but if no fish can be caught, there is still You might risk your life for this, but that's not a crime at all.

But even so, Shuge can still see the slowly moving lights near some docks in the distance.

Those were small boats and could only carry three or four people on each boat.

Obviously, there are still a very small number of fishermen who are skeptical of recent rumors. For them, maintaining their lives is always the most important task.

For these people, Shuge can only wish them good luck.

Shuge took out the kettle containing "Justina" again and placed it on the table along with the two cans of "Color of Life" he brought out from the Dream Sanctuary.

After leaving the Dream Sanctuary, the original "can" with a large number of strange patterns and words on it had also changed its appearance. Under the influence of Theseus's power, both cans turned into translucent glass bottles. , looks no different from an ordinary alchemy container. Through the transparent glass wall, Xiuge can see the bright light and shadow that are constantly flashing inside.

That is the rhythm of "life".

Shuge still lacks a clear solution for "Justina" who was rescued from Salem City by him. Through the illusion prompts provided by the roots of fate before, Shuge can confirm that this group combines human will and The special creation of the power of the descendants of the Dark Abyss will definitely have a more complex future. Given time, it will even be able to regain the outline and appearance of a human being, and walk among Van En again.

However, how should this goal be achieved, and how can we ensure that human will dominates this special creation?

Shuge knew nothing about this.

He unscrewed the kettle and shook it gently. Soon, the soft and clear black shadow slowly squeezed out of the kettle.

"Justina" was probably resting before. After being forcibly awakened by Shuge, it looked extremely sleepy. Not only was its movement very slow, but it also looked limp. After barely getting out of the kettle, it collapsed directly on the table. Became one piece.

This messed up look made Shuge couldn't help laughing.

Xiuge turned the kettle upside down, and some fragments and debris of magic crystals fell from its interior. These debris were the product of "Justina" eating, and the magic power inside them had been completely absorbed. This shows that "Justina's" demand for magic power is indeed not low, at least much higher than that of ordinary mage apprentices.

Seeing that "Justina" always looked lazy, Xiuge had no choice but to reach out and get a bottle of "Color of Life". "Justina" naturally noticed this wonderful existence, so Its body, which was spread out like a pancake, immediately reassembled into a ball shape. It squirmed twice, came to the edge of the glass bottle, and spun around twice quickly.

A series of strong emotions expressing doubts and curiosity entered Xiuge's mind through the magical connection.

"What's this?"

"It's so beautiful!"

"Can I eat it?"

"let me see!"

This little girl-like way of expressing emotions made Xiuge quite helpless, so he conveniently set up several ritual sites nearby that could isolate the magic fluctuations, and then carefully opened the glass jar.

Strong magic fluctuations broke out as a result, and even the ritual venue set up by Shuge was trembling in the violent fluctuations, and "Justina" who was staying next to the tank became even more active. The round body began to tremble as a result, and the translucent body, which was originally mainly black, seemed to be affected by the "Color of Life" and began to slowly change colors.

Xiuge picked up the glass jar. He stared at the little shadow in front of him that regarded him as his father, and asked slowly: "Want to have a taste? But I can only give you a little bit."

This is actually complete nonsense.

Because the moment Shuge asked the question, various emotional fragments used to express affirmation were instilled. At the same time, "Justina" even directly stuck to Shuge's hand, and looked like a real Like a pet, he began to touch and rub Shuge's palm with his soft translucent body.

This situation is somewhat subtle.

You know, not long ago, the real Justina was standing in front of Xiuge and having a conversation with him. Although Xiuge didn't know Justina too well, he also knew that this was actually A tough, brave and sacrificial magic scholar.

Even if she later chose to merge with the descendants of An Yuan, this will was not lost...

but now……

Xiuge looked at this little creation that was "hugging" the fingers of his left hand and refused to let go, and sighed with a headache.

But a headache is a headache, and what needs to be done still needs to be done.

He turned his left hand and gently picked up the soft shadow. Then he picked up the glass jar with his right hand and tilted it slowly.

The "Color of Life" with the same form as a liquid flowed down from the mouth of the jar, and the crystal clear, shining blue light and shadow dragged a beautiful straight line in mid-air, and finally fell towards "Giusti" Na's body.

The moment the two came into contact, a wonderful reaction occurred.

The little creation began to tremble violently, the outline of its soft body changed constantly, and the colors it possessed began to become rich and gorgeous.

At this moment, Xiuge seemed to see oil paint splashed into the water.

It's like watching the stars reflected in the mirror.
