Chapter 236
"Speaking of this, what are you going to do next?" Since Snow had said so, Liu Ji immediately changed the subject, "The tyrant shouldn't just give up like that, right?"
"Yes, it was hard to tell before, but this time he obviously doesn't want to mess with us," Snow sighed, "When they came, we carried out arcane bombing on their territory, but they didn't even return to defend. No one is there, it’s completely different from before.”
"Ha, it's not like there's no precedent at all, right?" Deidel seemed to have finally come to his senses, straightened up, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly, "Didn't they do the same thing in the annihilation war more than three hundred years ago? , in just a few years, all the land over there at the Mystic Sanctuary was completely destroyed..."
"That's the problem," Snow was also a little helpless. "If the Secret Sanctuary is destroyed, their invasion will further accelerate, and the world's advanced combat capabilities have not even been able to complete the alliance. The Secret Sanctuary fell, and they The speed of eroding the world here is probably more than twice as fast.”
"So, are you going to help them next?" Liu Ji asked.
Snow and Deidel looked at each other, and then remained silent for a long time. Deidel was the first to speak: "I think I have no other choice..."
Snow let out a long sigh, shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't think having me alone can change anything. However, I really don't know if there is anything I should do more now..."
"Really?" Liu Ji touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Uh... I heard from Deidel that you are actually a member of the pragmatic faction?"
"Ah?" Snow glanced at Deidel, and then said, "Well...if I must say it, I don't think we can defeat him. No, I should say, I can't even imagine that monster. Defeated."
"Then, I think maybe there is a better place for you to go than struggling with them, right?" Liu Ji said, "Although I don't know much about arcane arts, Majina used her Water Moon The time in the world flows very fast. I think this is definitely not because she wants to live for a few more years before the tyrant comes, so I wonder if she needs some help..."
"Magina..." Snow looked at Liu Ji, as if he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he still fell silent.
"Hey, actually, you don't need to care so much now," Deidre said. "Even if you continue to draw a clear line with her now, the Secret Sanctuary is so anxious that there is nothing you can do to help her. It's almost time. It’s coming obviously.”
"Yeah, I'm not worried about that," Snow rubbed his brows, "Although I was thrown out of the Secret Sanctuary to help her cover up, you should have heard that I was once chased and bombarded by her. Let’s go all the way and blow up a whole city of the tyrant..."
"Ah? Isn't that an act?" Deidel was stunned, "You said that before, I thought it was also an act."
"Well, it's hard for me to say, but I am indeed acting..." Snow frowned, "After all, although we had drawn a clear line on the surface at that time, that guy was actually a bit... tsk, how should I put it, she She still always wants to come to me secretly, and sooner or later the things I helped her to block will leak out if she keeps going like this. No matter how many times I tell her, it doesn’t work. I really have no choice but to sleep outside with my little sister..."
"Huh?" Deidel looked at Snow in surprise.
"Well, yes, I've never told anyone else," Snow shrugged.
"No, she chased you all the way because of this?" Deidel said in shock, "Oh my god, how can you live with her?!"
Snow's mouth twitched, and a vein popped out on his brow.
Sure enough, you shouldn't say this to this guy. In this regard, this guy is not from the same world as conservatives like them.
"Yeah, this is really not a good move," Liu Ji scratched his head, "Speaking of which, she looks like a mother-in-law now... Uh, I mean, you should have a way to change your appearance, right?"
"Indeed, some people even change their appearance every once in a while," Snow shrugged. "She used to love beauty, but since then she has been showing off her current appearance. I don't know what she thinks specifically. However, when she was chasing me, I really felt that she was going crazy. Even now... uh, no, tsk, maybe you are right. She is still worried about such a small thing now. It's really It’s a bit funny, I have to find her one day.”
"Yeah, I think so," Liu Ji nodded, "But I'm a little concerned about what you always said about blocking the gun for her..."
Snow was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked Liu Ji: "In your opinion, what does pragmatism specifically refer to?"
"Build a shelter?" Liu Ji spread his hands, "Uh, open a new home?"
"Yes, then what is the purpose of establishing a shelter and opening up a new home?" Snow asked.
"In order to let some people survive?" Liu Ji said, thought for a while, and asked, "So the question is which part of the people can survive?"
"Of course there are differences, but in the final analysis, shelters have limited resources, and there is no problem in leaving it to everyone who builds a shelter to choose the candidates who can enter the shelter," Snow said. "The point is, let these people After surviving for the time being, what will happen next? The shelter will most likely be discovered one day. Even if it is not discovered, how long can a small, narrow world withstand the torment of its residents until the magic power that can affect the world is used up? The defenders' souls also decay and die over time, and that small world will eventually perish. All efforts are just to survive, so what's the point?"
"Uh, is this a pain point for the pragmatists?" Liu Ji asked.
"Yes, that's why the pragmatic faction can't do much. A small refuge doesn't have enough appeal. This is also why the radical faction occupies the mainstream," Snow said in a deep voice, "But... Magina solved it. On this issue, she may not be the most talented and gifted world-opening magician in history, but she is definitely a world-opening magician who has completely absorbed the essence of her predecessors and has truly reached a higher realm as a world-opening magician - she created A small world that can maintain its own circulation.”
"Doesn't this sound good?" Liu Ji asked doubtfully, "If it can self-circulate, doesn't it mean that the world will never collapse in theory?"
"Yes, it is theoretically true, and any external source of magic can be directly used to expand the world. However, when the world is truly launched, no magic can be used anymore and can only operate according to a set of established rules. ," Snow said.
"This..." Liu Ji was immediately stunned.
An infinitely expanding world...
Unable to use magic...
Everything operates according to established rules...
Wouldn't this become the same type of world as the one he lived in in his previous life?
But just after Liu Ji thought this, Snow Nuo's next words brought back his scattered thoughts.
"This set of rules will be extremely complex, even far more complicated than the entire arcane system... No, it should be said that it will be a set of rules based on that world, a brand new arcane system that can operate in the small world without disturbing it. "The arcane system developed on the basis of running the original," Snow said, "This research cannot be completed by one person in a lifetime. For this, she needs to seek a lot of help from the Mystical Sanctuary."
"Ah, so it's still arcane," Liu Ji touched his chin.
It seems that he just thought too much...
but.
The new arcana... I always feel that there is something worth paying attention to.
"In short, this set of rules will be extremely complicated, even far more complicated than the entire arcane system. For this, she needs to seek a lot of help from the Mystic Sanctuary," Snow said. "As a result, that silly girl actually wanted to go directly to the Sanctuary. It was brought up at the meeting..."
"Why can't you mention it?" Deidel asked doubtfully.
"Because this plan is so attractive," Snow said, "but no one knows how long it will take, and it can only be led by one person. Anyone who helps can only help her. As I said before, Without the Secret Sanctuary, the tyrant's invasion speed would be more than three times faster, so the radicals must not disappear, otherwise the time left for us will be rapidly reduced."
"Can't we determine the policy and then let them delay the tyrant's progress?" Deidre asked.
"Which one do you choose between dying or sitting in a research laboratory?" Snow asked.
"Ah, okay," Deidre raised his hands and shrugged.
"So this matter cannot be made public directly from the beginning," Snow said. "People in the Secret Sanctuary thought that I released the unfinished Wuxiang in advance because I wanted to brag about my research results, but in fact From the time I discovered that I needed to do soul experiments to complete the formless thing, I put this subject on hold for the time being, and I knew exactly what the formless thing I released was like, and it was completely within my expectation that it would disintegrate. Inside, I pulled it out just to disturb that memory and to cover for Magina..."
"But they just threw you out," Deidre said. "I still can't understand why."
"Well, uh, there are various reasons," Snow said helplessly. "The internal party dispute was already very serious at that time, and Magina still leaked some information to them before I jumped out. In order to completely let go Magina was able to hide his plan, snatched her content and used it as a 'fig leaf' to announce it, and then deliberately made many mistakes and was kicked out as a clown. But even so, Magina alone The little information Gina leaked still attracted a lot of attention, so I had no choice but to keep drawing a clear line with her..."
"Well, then I think she should actually understand," Liu Ji tilted his head and said, "Ah, but, after all, you really went to sleep with your little sister... Well, anyway, come on, come on soon. Bar."
"Huh? A moment?" Snow was stunned for a moment, "What a moment?"
"Didn't you notice, we are already here," Liu Ji said, and the environment around everyone gradually became brighter.
Snow turned around and looked around, only to realize that they had arrived at a completely different place, and at their feet was a crescent-shaped lake made of three lakes.
"This is it..." Snow looked at the lake and murmured, "Hell, I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"Some things depend on momentum, come on in!" Liu Ji said, snapping his fingers, and with a trance, Snow and Deidel disappeared from the spot.
Looking at the lake behind him, Liu Ji sighed.
He really wanted to just go back and rest for a while. For example, he could lie on Yain's lap and relax for a whole day. It was more comfortable than anything else...
But, unfortunately, he hasn't gotten off work yet.
With his wings spread out behind him, Liu Ji suddenly flew into the air, flying towards the high speed he came from. Then, before he could reach the previous city about half way, his eyes were fixed on the Dilong Station somewhere in the mountains and fields, heading towards The inn fell straight down.
The waiter at the inn was shocked when he saw the strong man descending from the sky, and hurriedly greeted him: "Your Majesty the Magician? I wonder what you need?"
"You go about your business, someone is waiting for me," Liu Ji waved his hand casually.
"Oh, okay, just ask if you need anything," the waiter was obviously relieved after hearing this, and while saying that, he ran to entertain others.
In a small place like this, a mage who can fly is considered a big shot, and the pressure on these little waiters is huge.
Liu Ji didn't stop, went straight to the second floor and opened one of the doors.
As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by Tulin's sunny smiling face and the four-pointed star shining in his hand.
"Oh, it's coming," Tulin said with a smile, "I thought you would wait until tomorrow."
"I have never agreed to your invitation. Just tell me where you came from," Liu Ji said coldly, his eyes drifting to the four-pointed star in his hand, "Where did you get this thing?"
"How could I have done this," Turin said with a smile, "Actually, I was once a brave man!"
Liu Ji looked at him indifferently and said nothing.
Tulin smiled and looked at Liu Ji for a few seconds, then spread his hands and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's just a joke."
"I have no intention of joking with you. This thing shouldn't be in your hands," Liu Ji said, walking forward to get the four-pointed star.
"Eh... you are going too far." Tulin leaned back and avoided Liu Ji's hand, "I got it with my own ability, why should I give it to you? Besides, you think I just Is this the only one?”
"If you have other reasons, why are you hiding?" Liu Ji asked.
"Oh, is that what you think?" Tulin said with a smile, "How about you work hard and set a price, and I'll see if I can give it to you, but you also said that I only have one, so this You have to ask for a higher price?"
Liu Ji frowned and stared at him.
The latter didn't panic at all and responded with a smile.
"Tsk," Liu Ji withdrew his hand and sat down at the table with an unhappy look on his face.
"Hey hey hey! Are you so unhappy drinking with me?" Tulin waved his hands, "Obviously the path I just pointed out to you caused you to get another piece of it, didn't it?"
Liu Ji immediately frowned, looked at Tulin, and asked, "You just wanted me to get that thing before you gave me the information?"
"Ah, did you spill the beans? Haha, that's really embarrassing," Tulin laughed dryly and scratched his head, "Ah, but it looks like you know what it is, right?"
"As long as it's a treasure, do you need a reason to take it?" Liu Ji asked, "Or do you want me to know? Then I do know."
"Don't do this with me," Tulin smiled and shook his head, "Some things can't be circumvented by your tongue. You were clearly aiming for it before. The king himself is obsessed with the authority in the formation. I But it is very clear that you did not reach the limit in that formation at all, it was clearly because the core was taken away by you, and you still went straight towards it. Now if you tell me that you don't know, you are a little bit sure that you are a fool, right? "
"Oh, okay, then I'll know," Liu Ji shrugged, "So? Do you want to know?"
"I don't need to know," Tulin shook his head and said with a smile, "Now that things have come to an end, it's time for us to open up the skylight and talk openly. What is the use of the mirror? I've known it from the beginning..."
256. Two in one, so if you are the king of the sea, you will be struck by lightning.
Liu Ji was silent.
He was recalling the past, recalling Turin's series of experiences from the time he came into contact with him until now.
In the past exchanges with Tulin, Liu Ji always conducted it on the premise that the other party might know some information about the item, but did not know the details.
After all, in his opinion, if someone really knows what use this kind of thing is, then the other person should not give it to others.
But if Tulin really knows what this thing is used for, then his series of motives may need to be reconsidered...
As long as he did know the function of these things from the beginning and not halfway, then this series of actions can only be considered that he clearly asked Liu Ji to collect these things on purpose.
This extends to three possibilities.
Or, he thought that Liu Ji didn't know what this thing was used for, and wanted to use Liu Ji to collect it, and finally reap the benefits.
Or, he doesn't care whether Liu Ji knows what this thing does, he just wants to collect it and make plans for what to do next.
Or, he guessed that Liu Ji might know the purpose of this thing, but still let Liu Ji continue to collect it.
But no matter which one, there is a premise.
"It sounds like..." Liu Ji looked at Turin and slowly said, "You want to collect them all?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Túrin said, smiling.
"Why?" Liu Ji asked.
"Why else?" Tulin shrugged. "The purpose of collecting this thing can only be that one, right? After all, this thing has no other use except being the core that can create an entire new world."
"So, you want to be the Kami of the new world?" Liu Ji asked.
"If so, will I let you be the middleman?" Tulin asked back.
"Who knows, maybe you think you can't do it alone?" Liu Ji shrugged. "You wanted to get me to work for you, but you found out that I also knew the truth?"
"If you think so, I have no objection," Tulin smiled. "Then it's nothing more than negotiating the price. I don't want much. The new world and you have the same authority."
Liu Ji looked at Tulin, clasped his hands, and tapped the muscles of his arms lightly with his fingers.
If it was really that simple, then Tulin's request could be said to be not excessive at all, and he could agree to it directly.
But, he always felt that something was wrong.
No matter how reasonable Tulin's behavior seemed, he just had a faint sense of disharmony.
"It seems that you really don't trust me," Turin propped up his cheek and looked at Liu Ji, "I am really a little wronged. Have I ever done anything to let you down? Why are you always so wary of me? Is it because I am the twelfth king rider?"
"There is no need to get close to you now. I don't think there is any need to change our cooperative relationship," Liu Ji waved his hand casually, "and since you have already put forward the conditions, then I will accept it. As long as you collect all the fragments of this thing, I will give you half of my authority in the new world."
Although Liu Ji didn't think that Turin's intention was really like he said, that he wanted a share of the authority of the new world.
If he was really interested in this matter, he would be too calm. He didn't care about Liu Ji sharing the authority with him, nor did he worry that Liu Ji would kill him in order to monopolize the authority.
If the former didn't care, it could be said that he was contented, but if the latter didn't take precautions, I don't know whether it was that he thought he had figured out Liu Ji or didn't take Liu Ji seriously at all.
Become the god of the new world, create a brand new world to save the whole world.
For those who work for themselves, the former can be called the highest pursuit.
For those who work for the public, the latter can be called the supreme honor.
