Chapter 366: Who Says Fakes Are No Better Than Genuine Ones?
I thought that the people behind it would soon react to his speculation, but after Edward announced it so loudly, nothing happened.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
Even Joe thought that Edward had guessed wrong, but Edward continued, "Don't you admit your own existence...... That's to be expected, if that's the case......"
He grinned, turned his head and walked away, greeting his teammates as he walked past them, "Let's go back to the 'entrance' to this level and get out of here again." ”
The others were stunned at first, but Princess Leah and Jessica, who were relatively quick to understand, understood Edward's thoughts at once, and silently followed.
Although Joe and Goudan felt that Edward's statement was a little strange for a while, because of the absolute trust relationship established for a long time, they didn't ask too much and followed as soon as possible.
In fact, this is not a difficult logical problem to understand: Edward relied on the item 'Key to the Earth' to come to the fourth layer of steel land, theoretically there is no such thing as an 'entrance', and if you want to leave, you don't need to return to the so-called 'entrance', just teleport to the recovery point.
But these common sense players know that the mastermind behind this layer is not clear!
Moments after Edward had made a gesture to leave the level and begin to take action, the atmosphere around him changed.
Unconsciously, a large number of teapot structures gradually surrounded everyone, but the names on their heads were still yellow, and did not completely turn hostile red.
Later, a humanoid figure appeared on some of the billboard-like screens hanging from the surface of the building, but the backlight was too strong to see the other person's true face.
“#¥%¥@#&*……”
They said something in a language that Edward and the others could not understand, a language somewhat similar to Elvish, but with a very different rhyme, like the choir children singing hymns, full of wonderful beauty.
"Could this be the High Elf language? If you don't understand the language, you can't communicate......"
Joe scratched his scalp, feeling that Edward had managed to trick the other party with great difficulty, but he couldn't communicate, which was very troublesome.
"No, this guy can understand human speech (Hughman), but maybe he can't speak Humen because he doesn't have the corresponding language function." Princess Leah immediately sensed that something was wrong.
If the figure on the screen couldn't understand human language, when Edward said he was leaving, the other party would have chosen not to show up because they couldn't know what they were going to do.
Since the other party has shown up, it means that it understands Hughman, but it just doesn't say it for some reason.
"It's just simple discrimination." Edward's words revealed the hidden meaning: "The elves unified the true kingdom is the creation of the High Elves in their heyday, and the High Elves are a very racist race, not to mention the weak mortal race of 'humans', and they are very contemptuous of even some other races that are also transcendent races. Since this thing is a creation or consciousness left over from before the High Elves went extinct, it is not surprising that it has the stink of the High Elves. ”
Sure enough, after being shot by Edward, the figure that appeared on the screen spoke again.
This time, however, it was not in the same singing-like language as it had just been, but in a slightly jerky and strange Hugh language.
"High Elf...... Extinct? ”
"They've all been dead for more than a thousand years, and you don't even know this?" Joe interjected in reply.
"yes, this happened." The figure sighed heavily, "...... I thought I was just abandoned by them. ”
"And even if that's the case, what does it have to do with not allowing us to leave?" Goudan asked curiously, "Rather than not letting an intruder like us leave, it is better to say that we should meet it from the beginning, right?" ”
His words are a bit of a pot that doesn't open which pot to mention, and Jessica hammered it - what if people react to him and start fighting directly? They don't even know where this guy's body is......
"Although you are not High Elves, you have the aura of adults in you, and you are guests rather than enemies." The figure spoke slowly, and then, as if realizing something, it introduced itself, "My name is the Iron Commandment, and I am the guardian and controller of this level, serving all the High Elves and their guests. ”
Naturally, Edward and his party didn't know why they had the aura left by the High Elves on their bodies, and it had to be traced back to when they obtained the authentication key in the Darkness of the Sky.
At that time, Xiwei directly withheld their authentication key, and after analysis, gave them a fake product.
Perhaps the average person will think that the 'fake' is definitely not as good as the 'real thing', and the key that Sylvy withheld is definitely better than the one he imitated.
Well, it's true, the authentication key itself is indeed much stronger than the one made by Sivi.
But the problem is that the authentic authentication key has no effect on Edward and others who don't have High Elf blood in their bodies - they can't activate the authentication key, and they can't activate the power of the key to open the 'door' of the third layer of Heavenly Darkness to the steel earth.
Instead, Sivi's fake key canceled the certification of the bloodline and replaced it with a requirement of faith, as long as the player who believed in him could use the key to enter the land of steel.
Although after obtaining the authentication key, Sivi was able to brute-force break the security restriction left by the High Elves between the Heavenly Darkness and the Steel Land, after weighing the divine power required to brute force the crack, he decisively chose a simpler and more convenient method, which was to deceive the security restrictions by synthesizing some High Elf breath on the players, so as to deceive the security restrictions and directly enter the Steel Land.
So this also caused the fourth-tier administrator Iron Commandment, who was supposed to be the enemy, to treat the players as guests, not only did not attack them, but instead served them with good food and drink, and kept watching over them secretly.
Edward and the others didn't know the secret, but they could more or less guess that it was from the blessing of the game god Sivi, so they naturally revered their own gods even more.
Originally, if you can communicate well, maybe the fourth layer of steel land can be cleared without fighting, but I don't know if it's because after years and long lonely years, the Iron Ring has a bit of a bug relationship, and it doesn't seem to plan to let Edward and these rare guests leave......
