Chapter 108: The Puzzle of Space and Time
After Kenrito's meeting, Anthony Das walked up to Jiang Weihan and said with a smile: "Jiang, come, we have another matter." ”
"What's the matter?" Jiang Weihan asked.
The other ** teachers looked at each other and smiled, and Modra spoke: "There is one thing, which originally required the consent of all the Kenrito Councillors before it could be decided. But time was tight, and we made a decision personally. ”
Dredden smiled and said, "We have decided to give you the Book of Maddie!" ”
"What!" Jiang Weihan's eyes widened, the last time he came to ask for Guldan's skull, he wanted to get the Book of Maddie very much, but at that time, Maddie, the original owner, was present, and several other ** masters did not express their intention to give him the book to summon new heroes, of course, he couldn't be insatiable to make more requests.
In addition to being an artifact, the Book of Maddie itself also contains a lot of valuable magical knowledge. Long-term research will definitely be of great benefit to their realm.
Antonidas was able to hand it over to Jiang Weihan at this moment to summon a hero, and this selflessness made him feel a heavy responsibility. This shows that he has thoroughly won Kenrito's approval and trust.
When he got this coveted magic book, Jiang Weihan was excited, he looked at Antonidas and said, "I'm going to use it to summon heroes from Valoran, and after using it, it won't exist anymore." Are you sure you want to give it to me? ”
"Use it, use it, are you going to wait until we regret it?" Antonidas laughed out loud and quipped.
Dredden also looked unconcerned and said: "Actually, after so many years, we have not gained as much knowledge from the Book of Maddie as we did from the Maddie Notes you sent some time ago. ”
"Since we have chosen to hand it over to you, we are ready to be at your disposal." Modra smiled, "Don't worry!" ”
Antonidas looked a little reluctant to rub this book on his feet, but he became stern: "Jiang, we all know that this book may be the medium used by the Scourge to summon the Burning Legion Leader. Now that the Scourge is rampant in Gilneth and Dalaran is about to take to the skies to fight Naxxramas, there is no guarantee that Dalaran will not lose it. Rather than let it fall into the hands of the Scourge and become a tool to summon the Lord of Demons, it is better for you to destroy it completely, and to summon new heroes to strengthen our strength. Why not? ”
"I see." Jiang Weihan nodded, and he took out a transformation stone and let it fuse with the Book of Maddie. When the transformation was complete, he sensed that the book was ready to summon.
After Jiang Weihan signaled to the ** masters, he immersed his will into Valoran's heart and began his own summoning.
The Book of Maddie is a much more powerful artifact than Gul'dan's Skull, so what kind of heroes can be summoned with it? Jiang Weihan is looking forward to it.
Entering the familiar space again, he didn't expect that this time the time keeper Kiran would take the initiative to appear in front of him again.
He still looked old, smiling very kindly, not at all like a strong man who could forcibly suspend a continent for nearly a thousand years. It's not like I'm worried that I might be shattered by the causal impact of the timeline at any time.
"Congratulations, congratulations," Kieran said, full of blessings, "Commander, you've done more than we expected. ”
"Haha, isn't it amazing?" Jiang Weihan looked relaxed in front of Kieran. You don't have to be like the outside world, you always have to maintain a Valoran dollar in front of people. Kiran is the person who knows him best in the world, so he has no scruples.
"It's amazing!" Kieran was also joking loosely. "In the past few months, you've summoned 19 heroes, as well as more than 100,000 Valoran residents. Maybe give you another four or five years, and you'll really be able to summon everyone to Azeroth. ”
"Is there already nineteen?" Jiang Weihan didn't count it much. Each of the heroes he summoned had their own duties, and most of them were not usually seen. The most I see is Kyle, as she keeps him safe. At this mentions, Kieran realized that he had summoned nineteen heroes. There's just a few heroes in Valoran, right? In this way, his summoning has already gone more than a dozen times.
"That's right, it's nice to see that you've found what you're going to and have a deeper understanding of time." Kieran's expression began to become serious, "Then it's time to tell you something." ”
"Oh?"
Kiran said: "Haven't you always been curious, why did we choose you?" ”
"yes, but you haven't been in detail." Jiang Weihan has had this doubt since he entered the Jade Dream Realm. Why did the heroes of Valoran summon him, a man from Earth? And all the people are willing to serve him as a commander and let him be driven.
Kiran had said that he had secretly cooperated with the Eternal Dragon King Mnoz, so why should they summon an outsider if they wanted to enter Azeroth? Wouldn't it be better if they had the heart of Valoran and sent a native man over?
It's just that when he asked this question before, Kiran always talked about him left and right, and now he finally wants something real?
"Actually, even if all our Valoran heroes use up all their energy, they won't be able to send you to Azeroth." As soon as Kieran opened his mouth, he said a piece of news that shocked Jiang Weihan extremely much. "So, in fact, you can not come to Azeroth because of our calling. The only thing we've done is for you to take the Heart of Valoran with you before you travel to Azeroth. That's the only thing we can do. ”
Jiang Weihan felt a little dry in his throat, although he was now purely a spiritual body, "You mean, there is an even more incredible existence that has brought me to Azeroth?" ”
Kiran didn't answer directly, but said, "Actually, the universe where Valoran is located, the universe where Earth is located, and the universe where Azeroth is located are in different dimensions. If there was a spaceship that could have infinite speed, it could travel billions of light-years in an instant, but even if it had exhausted all the time, it would still not be able to fly from Valoran to Earth, nor to Azeroth. Because what separates this world is not the distance of space, but the distance of dimensions. ”
"We think that the multiverse uses dimensions to divide different worlds. If we set a ruler and the dimension of the earth is on the tick of 1 and Valoran is on the tick of 2, the range of our respective activities is within the range of our respective ticks. The universe is an abstract flat space, which may have infinite distances in parallel directions, but cannot float or sink beyond the boundaries of their respective engravings. We can't go from one universe to another - of course, the mysteries of the universe are far more complex than that, it's just a metaphor. ”
He used an analogy to describe the situation he described: "Our universe is like a bubble floating in the air. Our respective worlds are imprisoned in this bubble, and the eternal barrier prevents any entity from passing through. Do you think there is any way to pour water from a completely closed bottle into another completely closed bottle? ”
Jiang Weihan shook his head, he really couldn't think of any normal way. Unless there is some way to cheat. It's like having a classic magic show where you put a playing card in a soda that hasn't been opened yet. It seems to have succeeded, but it was never the truth, but an illusion to deceive the eye.
Kiran said: "So whether it is Valoran or Azeroth, even the most powerful being born in this universe cannot transcend this dimension, and naturally cannot put entities into another dimension. This is only possible with beings who are beyond the universe. We are the water in the bottle, and 'he' is the one who opens the cap. ”
Jiang Weihan saw that this time keeper's eyes were full of meaning, but he couldn't understand what it was. He was now in turmoil, originally thinking that the heroes of Valoran had summoned him to Azeroth to carry out a mission of a savior, but he did not expect to find out until now that there was another, more terrible being.
"The one who opened the cap?" He couldn't help but have a terrible thought: Kiran had said that Valoran and Azeroth were real beings in the multiverse. He's in Azeroth right now, and he's told him that this wasn't a dream.
- But he first learned that these two worlds were entirely games created by the gamemakers on Earth. Whether it's Valoran or Azeroth, it's a virtual, imaginary world.
So, does this mean that he exists in a particular form in a concrete game world? And the person who opens the bottle cap is someone or some people on Earth who have embodied these two game worlds, some super programmer?
Jiang Weihan felt cold when he thought that he might be a string of 0s and 1s now. If he is in a virtual space at this moment, where everything is secretly controlled by some super programmer with God's perspective, and his adventure and salvation are just to satisfy the evil taste of that super being, then what is the point of his existence?
"Don't overcomplicate things, Ginger." Kiran woke him up with a loud voice, "Whether it's the world in the bottle or the world outside the bottle, you have to think clearly, what do you exist for?" If time and space are virtual illusions that blur the senses, how should you prove that you are in existence and meaningful? ”
Jiang Weihan came to his senses from his terrible conjecture, he looked at Kiran, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, I know what to do." I'll find out the truth! ”
He thought of the one he had encountered since he arrived in Azeroth: the help of Cenarius in the Emerald Dream, the guidance from the immortals who had died in the Battle of the Ancients, the battle of the Psychic Courtyard, the fierce debate of the court of Lordaeron, and the rebirth of Dunhold...... There's also the trust and protection of Kyle, Quinn, and the people who rallied around him, as well as the atrocities of the Scourge and the rebellion of the Alliance.
Even if there is a string of numbers behind this qiē, his experience is not false. Even when you are on earth, more than 20 years of life are not as wonderful as this world in just one or two years.
- And even when he was on earth, how could he prove that he was not a string of numbers? Perhaps the whole earth has always been a number in the computer of some super-programmer who doesn't fully understand it. It's just that he sent a string of signals from Earth to Azeroth.
Jiang Weihan thought about it self-deprecatingly, and felt relieved in his heart.
It doesn't matter if he is right or not, at the end of time, there will always be a chance to prove it.
