Section 256 Catch the thief
I wish all readers a happy Mid-Autumn Festival......
In fact, according to the master's statement and Lu Wu's personal experience, these two moons are no different from the moons of the earth.
That's right, the growth and decline of the power of the two moons will lead to different periodsβperiods when the Stygian Moon is dominant, according to Amber. During this time period, the birth rate of the Moon Warlock will be greatly increased, giving it a huge advantage. Similarly, for another period of time, the birth rate of the Radiant Moon Warlock will be greatly increased. Of course, there is also the "Moment of Equilibrium" in between, where the birth rate of Warlocks from both camps drops dramatically. The tide rises and falls, and the other grows. To describe all this, it is similar to the earth's moon causing tides - it is a natural phenomenon.
Two gods who are indifferent to everything in the world β and perhaps their only interest is to confront each other and fight for dominance of the world (as the master puts it) β then it is no different from a natural phenomenon. Just as water evaporates into water vapor and air blows into wind, it is good for mortals to know the laws and not care at all.
"That ......" Lu Wu found himself completely confused. What exactly does an old woman mean?
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, do you know why this war started?"
"I don't know. Lu Wu shook his head. The two camps of Huiyue and Hadesmoon have been fighting each other for so long. According to the speculation of the earthlings, it is estimated that even professional historians can only analyze a scale and a half-claw from the remaining classics. Lu Wu has no interest in learning the history of the other world, so he can only guess - anyway, any war always starts at the beginning because of some small things and small conflicts. This is the so-called humble provocation.
"Although to say the real details of the problem...... I'm afraid I can't go into it anymore, but I can know why my ancestors' war was ignited. The old woman said. "At the end of the day, we can't tolerate each other. β
"That...... Can I ask why?"
"Amber is too young, and because she has special powers," the old woman suddenly changed the subject, "I guess I will not be involved in war for the rest of my life." She said. "I believe Your Excellency Lu Wu has also heard that the First Lawyer's Warlock is the most precious resource explored by the Sea of Aether, and they cannot be wasted in the endless war of the Wago World. So there are things that Amber will not understand. I think she may never be able to understand...... Pulsating in our ...... The impulse in the warlock's heart. β
The word "impulsive?" made Lu Wu even more confused.
"In the eyes of many people from other worlds, there is no difference between a Radiant Moon Warlock and a Stygian Warlock. The old woman said. "There is no difference in the strength of the two. But in fact, there is still a difference, and this difference can only be felt by the warlock. The two types of warlocks are incompatible. β
Belch...... Lu Wu suddenly remembered some of the materials and records he had read. It seems that if the Stygian Warlock commits a serious crime, then he can choose to flee to the side of the Radiant Moon and vice versa.
"A small number of warlocks can coexist with each other," the old woman seemed to see through what Lu Wu was thinking, and smiled. "But if you have too many of them, you won't be able to. For example, if it is a Stygian Warlock and a Radiant Moon Warlock, maybe they can sit together calmly, and everyone politely drink a drink and talk about life and ideals for a while. But when the number increases...... Let's say a hundred Stygian Warlocks and a hundred Radiant Moon Warlocks...... Of course, this is an analogy...... The urge to kill the other person will arise. β
"This ......" Lu Wu felt a little incredible.
"It's hard to describe. The old woman sighed. "Terrible impulses rush furiously in every corner of the body. My throat is hot, my eyes are swollen, my body is cold, but I don't stop sweating. After experiencing this feeling, it becomes clear that the so-called peace is simply impossible. β
Original...... Maybe the war won't end until all the warlocks are dead...... But again, this is impossible, and even if the warlock dies, it is useless. Because Lu Wu already knew that warlocks had a natural chance (although this probability was relatively low) to be born from ordinary people who had no warlock blood. Even an artificial womb has a chance to give birth to a warlock.
In other words, unless the human race in this world is extinct, it is impossible to stop the war.
Of course, that's the way it is, but there's another possibility in theory. That is, one side completely defeats the other side and kills it all.
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, how much do you know about the current battle situation on the front line of the Banshee Gate. Lu Wu was still in a trance, and the old woman had already thrown out the next question.
"Kecha Goat should still have the upper hand, but I've heard that the Stygian side is planning to invest in elite troops. Lu Wu replied thoughtfully. He can neither act ignorant nor know too much.
"Almost. The old woman smiled. "The final battle should be about to begin. β
"The final engagement?" was not a fake. This is the second person who has a similar point of view to the master, and the others, even the red clothes, do not think that Kecha Goyat will lose, or rather, will not lose so easily.
Moreover, although the old woman's tone was very gentle, her speech was very polite, and her attitude was of course very kind, Lu Wu could feel that a certain sleeve seemed to be coming down towards him.
"Your Excellency Lu Wu, the Floating Fortress should have been completely repaired, right?" the old woman asked.
"There are still some finishing works......" replied Lu Wu, who tried his best to break free from this cover, only to find that he had sunk too deep. Well, of course, after the old woman's identity was confirmed, he had a premonition of this.
"As far as I know, all kinds of relevant systems have been completed, and it should not be a problem to go into battle. The old woman said.
Yes, the master's judgment is correct - of course, it is also a fan of the authorities. It's easy to guess that she's not here to investigate someone (as the master says, no one is qualified to let an archon deign to do so). Even if it's a visitor from another world), then the only possibility is the Floating Fortress itself.
But the Floating Fortress was not a rarity for an archon, and it was not worth the trip. So what she needed was not a floating fortress, but a "floating fortress at the Banshee's Gate".
Then, her goal can be said to be imminent.
"Hehe," the old woman laughed again, she had already sensed Lu Wu's uneasiness. "Your Excellency Lu Wu, I have no intention of questioning your ownership of this floating fortress...... I just wish you could give me a ride. β
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, Lu Wu woke up from a messy dream.
Amber on the next bed was still asleep, or rather unconscious. However, the old woman had already explained that this was basically the case when a sorcerer was injured in a mental state - it took them a long time to recover. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that the injury will not worsen further, and it will not be like flesh and blood, there will be a lot of complications such as wound infection, excessive bleeding, and so on, which are even more troublesome than the injury. The downside is that Amber takes a long time to recover and is not able to do the kind of rest that it does when it moves with injuries. Even if you barely wake up, it can only last for a short time.
In short, it takes time.
The things in the dream were almost forgotten the moment he opened his eyes, leaving only the vague impression that it seemed to be a great chaos and war. Although I can't remember clearly, the residual impression seems to be that I am in a world full of ruins. The ruins of a city devastated by war.
Doesn't seem right? The old woman's request, if it was someone else, it must be very stressful, after all, although the floating fortress is powerful, but the floating fortress that Kaicha Goyat has already laid down more than one or two. But for him it was a small thing. Because he already knew that he was the retreat of Kecha Goat. It is impossible for any rational creature to destroy its own retreat on its own. Therefore, Kecha Goyat will not harm Lu Wu, and it is impossible for its army to attack this floating fortress (as long as Lu Wu does not do anything out of the ordinary). According to the master, Kecha Goyat was eager to send a team of his most powerful men to protect Lu Wu's safety.
But why am I nervous? Am I scared of something?
But the judgment of the master also confused him. The old woman had come here because she had found the key to the cooperation of Kecha Goyat from the trajectory of fate, and she was working in this direction. The Stygian Warlocks also found an opportunity to destroy Kechagoat in the course of fate...... But it is clear that the two cannot coexist. That is, only one side will win. This means that it is not as simple as it seems.
He washed up a little listlessly, and just as he was about to leave the room, he happened to see Ivan coming.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander. Ivan said eagerly. "Found a good thing. β
"Good stuff?"
"A few days ago, scouts on the outskirts of the mine discovered a camp abandoned by the Destroyer, where an unknown piece of large equipment from Kechagoat was found. β
"Huh?" Lu Wu knew that the Huiyue camp was very hungry for these things. Before that, he exchanged a "big crab" for a lot of rewards. But then again, it feels a little weird to hear this news from Ivan. Will Kecha Goyat leave anything good behind in a makeshift camp? Basically, it's impossible.
"Quite interesting, would you like to check it out?" said Ivan with a smile.
Although he didn't have any special desires, but I don't know why Ivan said this, Lu Wu became a little interested. Anyway, it's okay for the time being, just go and take a look.
"Is this the equipment that Kecha Goyat left behind?" An hour later, Lu Wu was already standing in the so-called abandoned camp, looking at the huge man-made object in front of him.
It is said that it is the abandoned equipment of Kecha Goat, but I have to say, this thing is impressive. It looks like an egg resting on top of the base, but the body itself is sponge-like with numerous holes in it.
At first glance, I subconsciously felt that this thing was not a weapon. But there's no way to say exactly what it is.
The whole camp is quite neat, with an obvious and quite scientific structure, which is both secluded and livable. Moreover, judging by the state of the camp, it was not a hasty retreat, but a time to do so, probably because there was no need for a peripheral military force here in the Kasha mining area.
In this case, what will be the use of the leftovers, is it broken, or is it really inconvenient to move and has to be abandoned?
Lu Wu was a little surprised to find that Hongyi and Yin were here. It's okay to be red, but Yin seems to be very interested in this. He leaned his whole body on top of the dome, stroking and tapping, as if trying to find out the mystery of this thing. It wasn't until Lu Wu stepped forward that he retreated.
"What is this?" Lu Wu stretched out his hand, and before his palm touched the giant egg, a master's scream sounded in his ears.
"Partner, don't touch it!"
However, it was already too late, Lu Wu's hand pressed on the sponge dome, and the world was suddenly filled with white light, and a joking voice that he had heard many times did not pass through his ears, but directly echoed in his mind.
"Mr. Thief, I've got you!"
