Chapter 814: World Tree
Merlin didn't know what the wizard behind her was frustrating.
In fact, she was also a little annoyed, because after she took this step, she didn't know if she stepped on the wrong place or touched the alchemy circle by mistake, and it suddenly became clear in front of her that she actually appeared in a strange corridor.
The reason why it is strange is that this corridor is not only spacious, but also very bright, but it is impossible to see where the light source is, but the most eye-catching thing is the brightly colored and vividly painted murals on both sides of the passage.
And the most amazing thing is that when you look at the murals, the pictures seem to come alive, they move, and they have sounds...... It's like watching a play in a theater.
After making sure that there was no one else in the corridor and that the environment was safe, Merlene secretly instructed Augustus to help her guard and looked at the first fresco on her left.
The painting depicts a group of ragged men, armed with rudimentary weapons, fighting wild beasts and dragging their children and daughters on the move in ancient times...... The howls of wild beasts, the cries of children, and the groans of the wounded were so real to the ears that Merlin had the illusion that they had jumped out of the mural at this time, and Merlin was not surprised.
These people ...... It is supposed that human beings at the beginning of the formation of the world, after fighting wild beasts and the harsh natural environment, finally found a huge valley.
In the middle of the valley, they found a huge tree, on which there were many strange shapes of golden fruits, and they could smell strange fragrances from afar.
Naturally, there is nothing unusual about these colorful fruits. But in Mei Lin's eyes, she vaguely saw some unusual tastes. For the shape of the fruits was very similar to the most basic units in some of the answers she had mastered.
"Is it a coincidence?"
With these doubts in mind, Merlin continued to read.
Step by step, Merlin gained more and more information. The two sides of the corridor have also changed from simple murals to graphic and even animated information transmission methods.
Among these first human beings, there were also some who were curious and bold. With their cooperation, they managed to pick some fruit and swallow it into their stomachs.
From then on, these mortals were no longer confused.
in this world. There is also an additional human called 'wizard'. Unlike mortals, they have great power in their hands, and they can call the wind and rain and move freely through the universe. They are the most powerful creatures in this plane. Because of their wisdom...... Unparalleled.
"The fruit of this fruit tree. It can actually make mortals open their wisdom and become wizards!"
Seeing this scene, Mei Lin's heart was shocked...... She remembered the once glorious wizarding era, the flourishing and declining wizarding civilization.
The text underneath the mural is written in lingua franca and can be easily read by Merlene. By reading these words, you can further prove what you have in mind.
"Interesting, is there really a golden apple in this world?" Merlin was surprised.
The legend about the golden apple has a long history in the wizarding world, but very few people have actually seen the golden apple, and I didn't expect to see this legendary treasure in these murals.
"Nonsense!"
Sheena's voice suddenly rang out, "What golden apple? That's the fruit of law." ”
She seemed to remember something, and sighed: "The civilization of the wizarding world is based on the interpretation of the laws of the plane. In the wizarding world, humans are not the so-called spirits of all things, but just luck. ”
"Luck?" Merlin was a little puzzled.
"The wizarding world has its own consciousness. ”
Hina said: "The higher the development of the civilization of the plane, the clearer and stronger the consciousness of the plane. There are some planes whose consciousness is still in a state of ignorance, but it is real. The name of this giant tree is the World Tree, and it was born out of dimensional consciousness. The golden-like fruit that bears on it is called the law fruit. It not only contains the comprehension of the laws of the plane that is infused by the plane consciousness, but also has great power. A law fruit can not only change a person's life, but even change the world. It was when human beings were forced to escape into the mountains that they were lucky enough to get the fruits of these laws, so that there was a wizarding civilization, and the wizarding world was able to enlighten the world. ”
Merlin listened to Sheena's explanation as she continued to browse through the murals.
The first people to eat the fruits of the law gained great strength and vast knowledge, and they began to lead the surviving humans to fight back against those beasts, arming them with knowledge to avoid the dangers brought by nature. It was at this time that the style of painting began to become clear, light, and more allegorical.
Merlin noticed that at this time, there were no strong barriers between wizards and ordinary mortals, they lived together and had no selfish intentions. They enclosed the tree so that no other creatures of any race could enter, and every fruit on the tree became so precious that no one was allowed to pick it without the approval of the chiefs and elders.
It is precisely because of the existence of these law fruits that humanity has gradually become stronger in this plane, defeating one enemy after another.
However, human beings can share weal and woe, not prosperity.
When human beings look around and are almost invincible, human society has developed into a behemoth. Due to the preciousness of the Law Fruit, the wizards naturally had to control the use of the Law Fruit, and in this way, the wizards had irreconcilable contradictions with mortals.
Wizards naturally want to leave the Law Fruit to mortals who are superior in all aspects, and the vast majority of mortals prefer to be able to obtain great power.
In this situation of gradual sharpening and antagonism, hierarchical divisions and antagonisms began to emerge within human society...... As shown in the mural, the sorcerer represents the crowd that becomes the master, while the mortal gradually sinks into slavery.
As a result, under this unequal oppression, there was a disagreement between the two major groups of mortals and wizards, who had been in harmony, and some mortals who had mastered martial arts began to challenge the authority of wizards. And in the early days. The spells that the wizards naturally comprehended with the fruit of wisdom were not as perfect and powerful as they are now, and they could not take much advantage in front of the large number of knights and warriors.
And then...... As in most disputes, both sides resorted to force.
There were no winners in this civil war, the wizards were badly damaged, and the mortals were killed and wounded. Eventually, the sorcerers unleashed a powerful sorcery that left the earth with the World Tree and became the lords of the high.
