Chapter 31: Secrets

As a traveling scholar, Nikolai is known for his extensive knowledge and knowledge, and at the same time, Nikolai has met many curious seekers in the past, even if they are aristocratic and wealthy merchants, just like Ling Qi at this moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ling Qi raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said softly:

"Then Mr. Nikolai, you can call me Lynch, too."

To put it mildly, he didn't directly raise the question about the possibility of domesticating giants, which was too abrupt. Ling Qi pondered silently, and soon thought of a topic that scholars must be interested in:

"I've heard that a long time ago, the dwarves tried to create gods, and I don't know how."

He said casually, inexplicably remembering his father's voice and smile in his mind.

It was when he was very young, and his father told him some stories about the games he had played when he was younger, including The Elder Scrolls.

It's a pity that it's been too long, it's an old game, he has never paid attention to it afterwards, and his childhood memories are already very vague, so after thinking about it for a long time, he still doesn't know anything about annihilation and blade guards.

He asked easily, but Nikolai was almost frightened to the point of myocardial infarction. The academic party outside the game, the plot party, and the academic school in the game are not the same thing after all.

Clang!

The silver fork landed on the copper plate with a crisp sound.

Ignoring the feeling of distress for the heirloom, Nikolai straightened up suddenly, and turned around to find that everyone else was frolicking in the distance, not paying attention to their conversation at all, and then looked at Ling Qi with a cloudy face.

"Lynch!! Mr!! You are!! What are you kidding!! ”

Nikolai roared, filled with rage.

He stared at the upright-looking young imperial man opposite, as if he wanted to catch a flower out of his face.

It's a pity that the other party's stunned expression clearly told him that he didn't understand why he was angry.

This made him wonder if he was having auditory hallucinations.

"Uh~"

Ling Qi was dazed, looking at Nikolai, whose face was cloudy, and after considering his previous words, he never felt that there was anything wrong.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the silver fork that had fallen on the couch, and the handle was engraved with a pattern like an angel embracing, and he immediately felt a thrill, and thought of the strange dream that had appeared recently!

Hiss~ In a world where there are gods, talk about the creation of gods!

Secretly pinched a cold sweat for the previous words, subconsciously raised his head, and found that there was no thunder falling from the sky, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the little fear that had just risen disappeared.

After all, he was not a man bathed in divine grace, and there was no reverence for the gods.

Realizing his Meng Lang, Ling Qi was even more curious, and the idle talk that was originally just to open up the topic also became more valuable at this time.

Ling Qi's brain was running at high speed like an octa-core processor.

Of course, on the surface, he was still at a loss, as if he was still thinking about his companion's anomaly.

After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and apologized to the traveling scholar.

"Ah~I'm sorry~I'm sorry~ I thought that scholars would be different from people in the church~"

"Hehe, I'm really sorry. Believe me, Mr. Nikolai, I have no ill will. ”

"Only, Mr. Nikolai, why are you so flustered? God is not omnipotent, and they don't always listen to the whispers of the ants, and there are no eyes and ears for God. ”

"You're a scholar, and I'm a scholar, and we're discussing some academic issues, and it's as simple as that."

Ling Qi explained lightly, and also cut a piece of meat from the roast deer leg in the tray in front of him and chewed it, looking very casual.

In a world where there are gods, although there are not without blasphemers, this topic is not strictly blasphemous.

Nikolai was still shocked by Ling Qi's attitude.

Either he is a man with a thirst for knowledge whose curiosity makes him unscrupulous, or he is a complete madman, a terrible unbeliever!

Seeing Ling Qi leisurely eating venison, perhaps to cover up Fang Cai's gaffe, or perhaps to take a serious look at the man in front of him, Nikolai also picked up a knife and fork and slowly began to eat.

To be honest, this venison is not very well roasted, although the meat is tender, but because it is simply sprinkled with some salt, the cooking methods are also very average, far from being compared with those delicate delicacies.

Cutting off some obviously scorched places, Ling Qi carefully selected the parts of the knife, showing no urgency at all, which made Nikolai a little puzzled.

The man seemed to have invited the traveling scholar to a meal, and never mentioned a topic that might cause trouble.

After the tea, he found that Ling Qi had no intention of speaking, so Nikolai had to put down his knife and fork and take out a silk silk to wipe the corners of his mouth.

"Mr. Lynch, I don't know where you heard those ridiculous remarks, but I hope you don't discuss these things with a random stranger next time, not everyone has a pure desire to learn."

Sighing, Nikolai finally couldn't hold back the desire to pour, sometimes too much knowledge is hidden in his head, and it is also a kind of distress. He continued:

"Indeed, there are many relics that show that the dwarves once achieved extraordinary things in the field of machinery. And they seem to have great ambitions, and when they conduct research, they seem to have no taboos and do not know how to be in awe. ”

It seems that Nikolai lacks a good impression of the dwarves. This is a rigorous scholar, and Lynch listens as he makes a mental judgment.

"But there has never been any mention of how they tried to carry out such a terrible campaign of blasphemy."

Nikolai's words are eloquent and contain a certain sense of rhythm.

He paused again, and found that Ling Qi had put down his knife and fork at some point, staring at him with blazing eyes. Obviously, his remarks have managed to attract someone's attention, but the answer is far from satisfying him.

Maybe it's the charm of the extraordinary, maybe it's the identity of the employer that has a certain effect, maybe it's because there are always some secrets that have been held back for too long and don't vomit unpleasantly.

In short, Nikolai gave up his perfunctory intentions and lowered his voice and said something that should not have been said.

"Of course, your claims aren't necessarily all hearsay."

"In the distant province of Morrowind, there are indeed some similar legends. Some local schools even claim that the dwarves succeeded in creating the Divine Giant, a mechanical creature known as the Titan Soldier. ”

"It is said that when the dwarves tried to use the heart of Lockhan to resurrect the giants, Nirieva, an apostle of the goddess of dawn and a demigod elf, led an army to attack Mount Doom."

"No one knows what happened, and since then, the dwarven race has disappeared as if out of thin air, never to be seen again."

Nikolai smacked his lips, looking unsatisfied.

He is now like a river, and he has a bit of a scholar's demeanor.

"Of course, the most mainstream theory at the moment is that the disappearance of the dwarves should be related to the chaos of time and space, and they seem to have been banished by some force outside the time and space node where they were originally located......"

Speaking of this, Nikolai frowned, as if in thought.

Perhaps when this topic involves the power of time and space, even scholars begin to find it difficult to explain the logical relationship to an ordinary person.

Of course, Ling Qi could understand that for concepts such as multiple parallel universes in time and space, only in terms of theory, maybe he was more professional than the traveling scholar, but he just listened and was not in a hurry to perform.

After thinking about it for a long time, Scholar You decided to skip the explanation of professional knowledge, and he continued:

"Legend has it that their disappearance was not due to the Giant Divine Soldiers, but because of a deviation in the process of extracting the original power of the Elder Scrolls during a certain research, and the power of creation banished them outside the normal time dimension..."

At this, Nikolai paused, his eyes flickered, his mouth opened, and he stopped talking.

In Ling Qi's expectant gaze, he did not reveal more secrets, but silently picked up the knife and fork.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Ling Qi's eyes, Nikolai obviously still had private goods hidden and refused to share them.

Thankfully, he had gained enough information from this unexpected exchange.

Next, the two talked about a lot of interesting things, but they didn't have the seriousness of Fang Cai, and the atmosphere became very harmonious.

It wasn't until the tour scholar left that Ling Qi had to admire, this was indeed a learned strange person, but it was a pity that he was too cautious and lacked courage.

Ling Qi shook his head, watching the back of the wandering scholar leaving.

The commotion outside had ended, but Arnold was still waiting for Nikolai by the campfire, a loyal servant.
