Chapter 206: Vortex
When a floating car with a radius of more than ten zhang and like a courtyard landed in front of the envoys, it still caused a commotion, and even Master Li, who was discussing with Mr. Zhang in the tent about entering the city, was stunned when he came out and looked at it after hearing the commotion. These Arcane Creations of the Imperial Age far exceed the limits of what a craft can create, and are extremely powerful for those who see it for the first time.
"This should be what the former Arcane Empire created with countless people's fat and people's anointment, and the Arcane Empire is precisely because of its poverty and luxury, and it does not hesitate to spare the people's feelings, and even if it has all kinds of abilities under perverse actions, it will only end up in extinction. It was the old man Zhang on the side who opened his mouth to explain for him, so that Master Li came back to his senses. "So no matter how large and grand these arcane creations seem to be, they are essentially just tricks and tricks. β
"Well, that's true. Master Li breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just a little trick, but at first sight, it really scared the official. β
The Sword of Benevolence also came from not far away, nodded and said, "Haha, Old Man Zhang, you didn't talk nonsense this time, you really can't be surprised by these things." β
"Mr. Invincible laughed, when did Mr. Makisai ever talk nonsense. Master Li was slightly displeased. "But what kind of barbarian thing is this, send someone to ask carefully. β
"No need to ask, it's Fernandez's family. The Sword of Benevolence looked at the blonde young man floating in the air, and before the dangling car could stop, the young man flew directly down from above, looking a little impatient.
"Chief of Staff, Mr. Wind, and Mr. Sword of Benevolence, and His Excellency Master Adler of Incre, could you please come up and talk?" the young man's voice came from the air.
"Oh no....... He must have heard our conversation just now......." On the other side, Master Adler held his head in his hands, frustrated and broken. "I should set up a high-protection enchantment....... But how could he have just returned from True Red at this coincidental time?"
Feng Yinqiu on the side was still calm, shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't matter." I figured it better to make it clear that the young man should be a negotiable person to talk to, and that the Sword of Benevolence guessed that his relationship with the orcs wasn't as close as it seemed. β
"Guess? Feeling? As an arcane master, how can I pin my hopes on these nihilistic concepts? If that orc chief doesn't trust him absolutely, how can I entrust him with the bloodline contract for safekeeping? This is very simple and very certain logic, and it is impossible to go wrong! What a smart and powerful monster that orc chief is, you have all seen it!" Adler's expression became closer and closer to the brink of collapse, as if the contract in the bloodline would be activated in the next second, and he would immediately become a madman who had lost himself. The people who heard the sound in the vicinity of the camp all looked at him in amazement, not understanding how this noble mage, who had been gentle and elegant before, and had a very good temperament, suddenly became like this.
After a minute or two, he took a few big breaths before he gradually calmed down, like a deflated ball, he barely relied on the residual spiritual qi and nodded, "Okay, it's already like this anyway, so let's go and see what he has to say." β
Feng Yinqiu on the side had been silent, he had already known that this Incre mage was actually slightly weak mentally, far from being comparable to that Minsk ** master, but at this time it was useless to persuade him, just waiting for him to recover and use his force field giant hand to fly towards the sky with him. The Sword of Benevolence had already jumped up, standing firmly on a force field barrier not far from the young man.
"Hehe, I haven't seen you for a few days, and it looks like a mix. Before, you were still dressed in animal skins, but now you are covered in silk and satin, and you are sitting in such a big floating car, it seems that Julia's woman values you very much, I don't know when you will get married? β
There was no response to the sword of benevolence's tease Fill, who just looked at Wind Yinqiu and Adler below with a sinking face. When the two of them flew up, Phil suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
This is the breath of the world, this is the deep sound of heaven and earth and the universe. At this moment, the three of them actually had such a feeling, even Adler lifted his spirits from the decadence on his face, and the sword of benevolence whistled, and the essence of his eyes flashed.
The breath was not long, Phil opened his eyes, and at the same time reached out and pushed out, an invisible wave emanated around him, and the three of them could immediately feel that the whole world seemed to be quiet, or it could be said that there was a magical power that isolated them from the outside world.
"I've cut off the wind from everything here, from the outside world, whether it's sound or light, so that everything we say here won't be overheard. This high-dimensional wind elemental barrier is a gift from the god of wind elements that I directly begged for, and can even isolate the wind of the world. Therefore, even if it is the arcane of the causal order, as long as it does not exceed the level above the ten rings that can forcibly interfere with the winds of the world, it is impossible to know any of the news that we are discussing here. β
Phil's words made the three of them shocked, even if they had different understandings of this move because of their different visions and opinions, they were all shocking enough.
"It seems that Mr. Phil has something very important to explain to us. Feng Yinqiu's heart was also quite shaken. In the words of the Divine Dao System, being able to do this is already enough to interfere with the realm of heavenly powers, and this means of shielding the outside world almost has a meaning of its own. This young druid may not be as good as him and the Sword of Benevolence in terms of actual combat methods, but in terms of these abilities to perceive and wield the power of heaven and earth, he is worthy of being the native priest of the land of Europe where this true spirit manifests.
However, looking at the obvious exhaustion on Phil's face, he knew that he was also doing his best this time. Communicating with the God of the Wind Element, this is the supreme realm of using his own divine soul to attract the true spirit of heaven and earth in the Ancient Five Elements Sect, and using such means is only to shield the perception of the outside world, it can be seen that what he wants to say should not only be related to the topic of the Incre mage.
"I've heard all three of you talking before. I didn't mean to, but I couldn't even pretend I couldn't hear it if I was talking about me at such a close distance and in such an open environment. β
Phil still talked about this topic first, which made Adler's face recover a little more embarrassment and collapse, but fortunately, Phil didn't seem to care about it, but said directly: "Actually, I can explain all your questions to you here." The first thing to say is that, as Your Excellency the Sword of Mercy has guessed, I am not on the same side as the filthy and savage orcs. I do have a great relationship with them, but I am not on their side, whether it is the stakes or the emotional factors. β
"As for you, why did the orc chieftain end the war put such an important bloodline contract in my hands...... I don't know about that. Maybe he had some special relationship with me that wasn't an outsider, maybe he decided he had something I had to pursue, but in any case, I wasn't really very interested in the task he had entrusted me, the contract that the Inclave mage had to fulfill, and I didn't care what those savage subhumans wanted the power of the beast gods. So this Mr. Adler, you can rest assured, I will not restrain your actions, let alone take the initiative to catalyze the contract, of course, this bloodline contract will slowly intensify itself over time, that is your own problem. β
"Okay, I'll figure it out slowly......" Adler let out a long breath, finally relieving himself. "I have at least a few more years to achieve the self-catalytic speed of this contract, and even if I can't solve this contract, I can find a way to complete it......."
"As for my relationship with the FernΓ‘ndez family, it's purely my own private matter. I already have the blood of the True Red Family in my body, and it is also the right thing to return to the family this time. But I can also be honest with the three of you here, whether it is interests or feelings, I am not on their side either. As for what I'm going to do, don't worry, it's enough if it won't get in your way anyway. β
"Heh, the famous imperial nobles, the most powerful True Red Family on this continent, are you actually in the same position as the orcs on the grassland in your eyes?" Adler couldn't help muttering, shrugging his shoulders again in a helpless manner. "Well, maybe the druids don't have a different perspective than we do. β
"It's really different. Phil didn't shy away from responding. "I used to have all kinds of **, anger, and obsession with the bloodline of the family, but when my soul traveled in the elemental realm, saw and personally experienced the operation and flow of the origin of this world, even if I returned to this world again, the vision was already different from before. Except for some of the most fundamental obsessions, the others are just fleeting, like bubbles that are not worth nostalgia for. So you don't need to measure me by the usual patterns of human interests and feelings. β
"Okay. Adler nodded, but his expression was a little disapproving, as if the situation forced him to believe it.
"What this Mr. Phil said should be true. It was still Feng Yinqiu who opened his mouth to calm him down. Perhaps the arcanist who pinned everything on the magic net was still a little unfamiliar with this situation, but in the Shenzhou Dao system, it was all too common for such a situation to open his eyes and sublimate himself due to an epiphany by chance, especially the bridge that penetrated heaven and earth, and after stepping into the innate realm, there must be such a similar mental refinement, although he had not experienced it personally, but he was by no means unfamiliar with it.
"Yes, he wasn't lying. This kid is so lucky that even I am jealous. The sword of benevolence on the side also rarely did not raise the bar or talk nonsense, and nodded in agreement. The experience of this druid named Phil can be regarded as the great creation that everyone dreams of in the Five Elements Sect, and he directly experiences the blowing of the true spirit of heaven and earth with his own divine soul, and finally can return to the mortal world to obtain flesh and blood, which is completely incredible in Shenzhou, and it is a hundred times more exaggerated than what elixir he has eaten and received what master has instilled a thousand years of skill, and it is normal to have such an understanding.
Phil nodded to the two of them, and with the endorsement of Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence, Adler's face looked a lot better.
"And what I'm going to say now is what a druid saw and thought was the most important thing. I hope you'll listen carefully. β
Phil's voice became extremely solemn, and even his originally handsome face was a little gloomy, and the bright sunlight above his head seemed to shine no longer on his blonde hair: "The trajectory of the winds of the world has been changed, and I saw a huge whirlpool of winds formed here before. This wind vortex, with its tremendous pulling force and entropy aura, seems to be able to lead everything around it into the abyss of collapse. β
"......" Feng Yinqiu and the three of them glanced at each other, somewhat unintelligible, but Adler opened his mouth and asked: "... What does that mean, please?"
"There is a huge inexplicable force that has moved the original trajectory of this world, and it is going in the direction of Honkai destruction. Phil thought about it for a moment and put it in a way that Adler could understand. "From an arcane point of view, it is the cause and effect order of the world that has been affected and has a certain degree of skew. In terms of the degree of deflection, it should be at least the same as the force of an eleven-ring causal order arcane, and the direction of the deflection is towards Honkai destruction. You can understand it this way that someone has succeeded in incorporating a wish like 'I hope this world will be destroyed as soon as possible' into the cause and effect sequence of the world itself. β
Adler's expression suddenly became very strange and exciting, and he didn't know whether he was surprised by the druid's arcane knowledge or completely shocked by the content of these words, and he spoke for a while: "How is it possible? The extent of the eleventh ring of arcane ...... The ** masters of the entire continent, as well as the high-level clergy, can clearly feel it. β
"This disturbance did not pass through the magic web, but was a deeper, more essential change. The Arcanist's perception is like that of a stupid spider clinging to a cobweb, and they are only sensitive to the vibrations of the web, but they are ignorant of the wider and deeper places. Phil shook his head and said indifferently. But the clergy's perception is not all-encompassing, and they are more inclined to the realm of their own belief in the gods. No matter how clever the clergy of all the secondary gods and nature gods are, their perception cannot go beyond the limitations of their belief in the gods, strictly speaking, the secondary gods and nature gods are the creations of the streams of life and the winds of the world, so in addition to the elves' elven sacred trees, only the high-level priests who believe in the four elemental gods can vaguely feel the changes of the winds of the world at close range. β
"That.... What does this mean exactly, what is there that can interfere with the flow of cause and effect?" asked Adler with a struggling expression. "I don't have much research on causal order, this subject was also the best in the imperial era, all the information and results were destroyed in the war, and no one seems to study this anymore. β
Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence were also silent on the side, listening extremely seriously, in Shenzhou involving the operation of the Heavenly Dao are the most advanced realms, they all know some more, it is rare to meet a freak who can directly vaguely perceive the number of days in this European continent, and also see what opinions on the number of days are in this Dao system that is different from Shenzhou.
β...... The trajectory of the winds of the world is orderly, but it is not immutable. I am not a druid who has received the full lineage, I can only understand it by my own instincts...... This is due to a strong external factor that interfered with the original trajectory. β
According to what I know, everything in this world flows within the order of cause and effect, and even what each person thinks and thinks is not really determined by himself...... I'm very skeptical about that, but that's what the Empire's legacy says......."
"Not exactly. Although the vast majority of people are like this, simply driven by instinct to live, but in our druid's view, the essence of human beings is closely connected with the four elements and the stream of life. As long as you know the truth of this world and slowly comprehend the four elements and the essence of life, you can break free from the shackles of the wind of the world......"
Feng Yinqiu, who was listening from the sidelines, said to the Sword of Benevolence: "It seems that the transcendent path of this European land still mainly relies on the Divine Dao, but there are some similarities. It's just that I think it's more clever and comfortable in comparison. β
"If you swallow a pill in your stomach, you will know that my life is up to me. Naturally, this is much more enjoyable than relying on Shinto to follow the same steps. It's just that in contrast, Shinto is like walking with a stick, and there is also the advantage of saving effort and convenience by relying on it. The Sword of Benevolence nodded, but then returned to that trademark laugh. But all this is nothing before the warriors who know the truth of love and justice. β
Adler asked, "So, what do you think is interfering with the cause and effect trajectory of this world?"
β...... I think it's an outsider. Phil set his sights on Wind Whispering and the Sword of Benevolence. "As an outsider to this world, your own existence will cause a certain deviation to the trajectory of the wind of the world, and I can only think that some major turning point must have happened in this envoy group during this time, so it will cause the wind of the world to produce a collapsing vortex. β
"What?" Both the Sword of Benevolence and the Wind Yinqiu were stunned, and the Sword of Benevolence immediately laughed. "How is that possible? Are you saying we're going to destroy the world? How can you have such a stupid and ridiculous inference, could it be that the woman named Julia poured too many ** potions on the bed and made you crazy?"
"It's unlikely. Adler couldn't help but laugh. In his opinion, these Westerners don't say whether they have such an idea, first of all, it is absolutely impossible to have such an ability, Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence are indeed extremely powerful, but it is too incredible to say that the whole world is inclined to destroy and collapse. "Besides, although they are from a foreign country, they cannot be said to be outsiders from this world. β
"In my perception, they are outsiders. Phil looked at the two of them, and there seemed to be countless electric lights flowing in his pupils. "The wind of the world has produced a slight deviation in their bodies, and they all have attributes that do not belong to this world...... Or it is a property that transcends the influence of the winds of the world. β
"Haha, it seems that he has long seen through our excellence, no wonder he bowed to me before and was willing to be his little brother. It's a pity that he got carried away later, and ran to play with the woman of the Fernandez's family. The Sword of Benevolence laughed at Feng Yinqiu, but Feng Yinqiu frowned slightly, thoughtful.
"Of course, I'm pretty sure that none of you are bad people and have no ill will towards the world, so I'm here to remind you that there must be some very important turning point around you, which is enough to affect your thinking, words and deeds, and then involve your influence on the world in a negative direction, please be careful. Your presence is important to the direction of this world, so be sure to think twice before you act. β
Phil bowed to the two of them, expressed his kindness, and then continued: "And please pay attention to the fact that if this matter spreads, then the influence of this vortex will undoubtedly be quickly revealed in the actual situation, such as those careerists with ulterior motives will find ways to use you, the crazy arcanists who are addicted to arcane will see you as excellent experimental materials, and even the elves who guard the streams of life will see you as a danger and use the power of the temple to kill you......."
The Sword of Benevolence waved its hand, still with the same empty confidence and arrogance: "Thank you for the reminder, but rest assured, in front of the iron fist of love and justice, no matter what careerist Arcanist is, he is nothing more than an ant." Even if there is really any deviation in the wind of this world, we can bring him back, this is the unshirkable responsibility of the warriors of love and justice!"
"Well, I hope so. Phil shrugged and made a helpless expression. "As I said before, my druid heritage is not perfect, what I see and judge is only based on my own feelings, and perhaps I myself have been influenced by the winds of the world when I judge, after all, as long as I exist in this earthly world, I cannot completely get rid of the shackles of this world itself. I'm telling you all this now, and I'm just doing my best. β
"Doom...... Could it be that you are mistaken?" Adler on the side seemed to have a hard time accepting this sudden news, and thought about it for a long time before speaking. "I mean, is there any other possibility? It's not the vortex they caused, there are always other forces that can cause the world to change, right?"
"Absolutely. Phil replied dryly. "The high-dimensional turbulence from the astral plane, or the will of the Great Devil of the Abyss, which one do you hope for?"
Adler's face immediately turned pale, and he shook his head: "...... I don't want either. β
Among the envoys below, there were still quite a few people looking up at the sky where there was nothing.
Compared to the soldiers of the envoy corps who were simply curious, the three high-level mages driving the floating car were a little anxious, they were completely confused about how the four people disappeared, even if they did not hesitate to spend gems to use the seven rings on the floating car to detect the arcane circle, they couldn't find the slightest clue, they didn't even know whether the person disappeared, or was transferred with a spatial arcane, or just simply disappeared.
Of course, they were only worried about Fer, and as the Fernandez family's battle mages, they weren't just the chauffeur in charge of driving. If something goes wrong with this upstart of the family, from their point of view, it is really a hundred deaths.
"Miss Stephanie. Let's take a look at where Mr. Phil has gone. "The mage at the head really has no choice but to ask Stephanie in the floating car. This young lady's former membership in the Revival Society was semi-public in the FernΓ‘ndez family, and the organization was a bit extreme, but the arcane level was recognized, and the threshold for entering it was much higher than that of ordinary battle mages.
"Don't look at it, your Mr. Phil doesn't want you to see it. Stephanie walked out, but she didn't even lift her head. She had already seen the situation clearly through the window in the carriage before, and these mages were just concerned about it. "You also have a little confidence in Mr. Phil, as a high-level elemental druid, he at least has the ability to protect himself no matter what situation he faces, and he said that he came here to see a friend. β
"Yes, we were overthinking. Several mages looked at each other and nodded.
"We'd better ......" Stephanie, who had just opened her mouth to say something, seemed to see something, turned around and walked into the carriage with a solemn face, as if she was hiding something.
The three mages followed her previous line of sight, and in the distance, a haggard woman in blue was walking out of the tent and looking this way.
