35. Torlistine's Last Memories (2)

However, just like that, it is impossible to reach the Torristeen, who has been "ruined", not to mention how many wizards can easily enter the junction of life and death, even if they enter without clear and clear coordinate guidance, ordinary wizards will not be able to find it easily.

Because at the junction of life and death, if you stay for a long time without protection, the longer you stay, the closer those travelers will be to the side of death, until they can never return.

So it was dangerous to search aimlessly here, but Verne found it.

Verne himself was surprised to be able to discover this place, just imagine that a puzzle that has not been solved for three hundred years can easily "strip himself naked and show it in front of him", why can't others encounter such a coincidence?

Verne knew why, and knew that although there were many elements of coincidence in the process of finding it, it was an inevitable consequence, because he was holding in his hands the "restored wreckage of the Ark of the Covenant"—"Pandora's sigh."

In fact, Verne, who wanted to try his luck that year, made a wish at the Room of Requirement to "find the clues to the remainder of the Ark of the Covenant", and then relied on the connection between "Pandora's sigh" and the fragments of the Ark of the Covenant, Verne arrived here.

"Pandora's Sigh", named by Nicolamet, is the work of Verne's alchemy and magic. The main body of the material was the small remnant of the Ark of the Covenant found on the island of Atlantis, which Verne had restored with dynamic runes he had found.

Then, as the "new master" of the "small" Ark of the Covenant, Verne naturally discovered a great secret that his "lovely maid" had hidden from the world for thousands of years - the spatial attribute!

In countless stories, there are legends of the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant fulfilling people's wishes, and most of the legends linked to the Holy Grail are immortal and immortal; And the legend most associated with the Ark of the Covenant is the victory in the war.

Of course, there are many people who have promoted them as "mysteries" that can be fulfilled by any wish, and as a symbol of God's omnipotence.

However, these are all misinterpretations, and whether it is "any wish can be granted" or "the Holy Grail makes life and the Ark of the Covenant triumphant" is one-sided, narrow, and inaccurate.

Because both the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant can actually only fulfill one type of desire, which is undoubtedly inferior to the "origin of life and death".

But this is determined by the two characteristics they possess, one of which is common to the two relics, and that is the "contract", with which anyone who wants to use the power of the relics must sign a contract with them.

If you want to get something, you have to give something, and it's a fair exchange. Although in many cases, the so-called exchange is not equivalent.

Another difference that determines the different types of wishes that can be fulfilled between the Grail and the Ark of the Covenant is "time" and "space".

Yes, the Holy Grail can fulfill any time-related wish, such as making one's time stop and thus attaining "eternal life" in some sense.

The Ark of the Covenant can fulfill any space-related wishes, such as allowing a person to travel to other worlds and develop their own abilities in that world, and this is the "truth" that the Ark of the Covenant can make the Squib inspire the Holy Power.

So it's not that the Ark of the Covenant stimulates the Squib's abilities, but that the Ark of the Covenant teleports the Squibs to a world where they can develop their abilities, and the Squibs gain more time and resources than others, so when they come back from their successful practice, they can immediately become experienced paladins in combat, even if they were just a child or have never touched a weapon before when they touched the Ark of the Covenant.

As for why some squibs fail? Why do some Muggles die? It's not so easy to survive in a dangerous otherworld. After all, not all other worlds can start from scratch, and not all time-travelers can carry with them a goddess who is intellectually stupid but can release resurrection.

And in the legend, what was the wish that the witch made after touching the Ark of the Covenant?

"Resurrect the beloved", "Save the Motherland." ”

According to Verne's speculation, if the witch touched the Holy Grail of the temporal attribute at that time, it is likely that she was sent to a point in time before the invasion of the Holy See, or she may have been sent to a world line where there would not be an invasion of the Holy See.

However, at that time, the object of the witch's wish was the Ark of the Covenant, which had spatial properties.

The Ark of the Covenant fulfilled the witch's wish in its own right: to move the entire Torristeen out of the main plane and into the crossroads of life and death. Here, the nation called Torristeen can survive at the cost of the overwhelmed Ark of the Covenant disintegrating on its own.

After entering the origin of life and death, the Torlistines discovered that here, the living do not die; And the dead can also be "resurrected", as long as no one here can perish Torlistine, the witch's wish is half fulfilled, and the next thing to do is to resurrect her lover.

Although it is claimed to be able to resurrect the dead, in the origin of life and death, there is a difference between the so-called resurrection and the real resurrection. All dead souls are simply installed in a new body, and once they leave this place, they will once again have nothing but souls. And as long as no new souls are created here, but as long as they can continue to stay at the origin of life and death, there is no difference from being alive.

For the witch, this is enough, as long as she can hug her "lover" again.

With a strong longing, the witch made a wish, and a young man's body appeared in front of her. The face was exactly the same, the smile was exactly the same, and the figure that suddenly appeared was exactly the same as the one that appeared repeatedly in the witch's memory.

However, the empty eyes, the mechanical reactions, all kinds of qiē all show that there is no soul inside!

I don't know if it was something that went wrong, or if it was just a deception in the first place. At the origin of life and death, the witch just created a ** that was exactly the same as her lover, but her lover's soul was not here.

Although with the help of the origin of life and death, the body can do whatever the witch asks it to do, talking, eating, dancing, playing music, as long as the witch says it, it will perform it to the letter, but it is not "he" after all, it only knows how to react mechanically.

The origin of life and death is known as omnipotent, and it is claimed to be responsive, but after all, it is only claimed, and the only thing that can be affected here is the things of this world. As for those unfulfilled wishes, it is like the mirror that can shine through the heart of Eris, and all that can be obtained is a self-satisfied deception.

And such a result naturally cannot be accepted by the witch!
