Chapter 429: Ah, I really can't think of a chapter name, so let's leave it at that
The dining room was quiet, with only the glow of the incandescent lamps shining softly.
At the table was a glass of juice and two catties of steak, which was simple, exactly what Sigma wanted, but it took a lot of thought...... The top ingredients, the most perfect cooking skills, the most careful cooking, the most basic dishes have played the most perfect effect, it seems that the restaurant manager's sword is indispensable.
The steak is delicious, a delicacy, with a great texture and taste, and it pairs perfectly with the juice.
Sigma liked it very much, was very satisfied, and could have eaten all these two catties of steak very easily.
But now, delicious food is right in front of you, with rich aromas filling the nose and the refreshing, cold, aftertaste of juice reverberating in your mouth...... But at the moment, all the deliciousness has lost all its charm.
It was as if the world had become a black and white hue, losing a single qiē color, and all the rich senses were gone, only a terrible story echoed in the ears......
No one could understand Sigma's shock and uneasiness, in fact, anyone who heard Clement's words would feel ridiculous and would not believe it lightly, and even the legendary powerhouse who knew how Clement was would instinctively feel disbelief when he first heard about it...... But Sigma is different.
He believed these things that sounded ridiculous...... Whether it's another universe, or a perfect race born only for war, he believes in these statements of Clement.
There is no need for the Acting Pope to make up such frivolous lies, and it is so true, even though these things may sound ridiculous to others. But Sigma ...... He's been through the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Similar to the magical world in the novel, Nolan. What has taken root here is another direction of development that is different from the scientific and technological civilization, and there is the Holy Light. There is magic, there are elves, there are dragons, mages explore the world, magicians summarize the laws, and magic replaces science...... He traveled from an era of steel and electricity to such a fantasy world of swords and magic.
"This ......," Sigma muttered, "this is ridiculous, this is crazy. ”
"Is it hard to accept? I can understand. But it's true. "Under Sigma's deliberate performance and guidance, Clement did not perceive the necromancer's abnormality...... This is the limitation of cognition, although the legendary powerhouse is keen and wise, but limited by brain holes and cognition, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of the unparalleled star of tomorrow in the country of death, and he is actually an illegal immigrant from another universe and another civilization.
Of course, he never imagined his own words. What a shock it caused to Sigma's heart.
The strange race of Clement's mouth, born entirely for war and ruin, has evolved to the point of near-perfection, with every organ and part of the body serving the battle. There is no superfluity, the extreme pursuit of efficiency, the number is huge. Amazing fecundity and hierarchy...... their rulers. It is a "strange beast that is close to an evil god".
Sigma, who still retains the memories of his past life and keeps it in memory as a memorial, quickly retrieves the relevant information from his mind...... In the modern society that was developed in the previous life. The boom in the entertainment industry has pushed the imagination and brains of human beings to the extreme, and people who fit this description can come up with three or four at random.
For example, Xenomorphs, Zeg Zerg, BETA, Tyranid, Deep Sea Fleet...... Oh, and the last one isn't, those deep-sea fleets that at least have human bodies, and their boobs and thighs aren't for fighting, but for giving benefits to non-cultist perverts and perverted cultists.
…… Then again, no matter which of the above things fell into the world of Noren by accident, it's not a good thing.
…… Well, well, I admit that the deep-sea fleet is still the exception, and this bad thing can still be turned into a good thing.
Wrong...... Now is not the time to think about this!
Sigma shook his head violently, distracting the distractions in his mind, and he looked at Crément, a thousand words flashed through his mind, countless questions to ask, and he wanted to know too many things.
Really...... What I care about the most is how the "beast that is almost like an evil god" came to Nolen.
Because, this is the second visitor from another world known to Sigmar, who appeared in Nolen.
Sigma is, of course, the first...... But he was just a weak mortal before he crossed over, and the crossing was neither his active choice, nor did he personally experience the process of crossing, he just had a long, long dream, and after opening his eyes in the boundless darkness, he was born into this world of swords and magic.
This beast that is almost like an evil god is not, compared to Sigma's soul piercing, he is obviously wearing, and descending on Noren with a powerful body, not only that, but it also maintains a considerable combat power, so much so that it can destroy the royal city of an ancient civilization...... Regardless of its motives and character, the crux of the matter is that whether it is actively engaged in this crossing or passively endured, it must know better than Sigma the causes and methods of this crossing.
And know how to get there...... It is possible to know how to get back.
Sigma tried his best to suppress the churning emotions in his heart, so that no trace of his feelings would leak out, and no one knew what he felt and how enthusiastic he was...... Although he has regarded Nolan as his hometown, although the memories of life from Earth have been defined as his previous life, although there are people he loves here, his new life and life, and the beautiful world he loves, if he has the opportunity to return to his homeland in his previous life, he will definitely choose to go back to see.
Great seas, Teslas, ancient ruins, extraterrestrial visitors who are close to evil gods, terrifying killing races.
This is a place he must visit.
"You look...... Much calmer than I thought. A hint of suspicion flashed in Clement's eyes.
Sigma was shocked in his heart, and then said indifferently: "The theory of multi-universe and alien races has long been speculated and discussed by mages, and since the mages who study the power of space have proved the basis for the existence of multiple composite spaces and extradimensional phenomena, the demon Taoist world has made bold statements on this...... As far as probability is concerned, the other universe exists. ”
Clement nodded, "That's true. I've also heard about it, and it's said that the discovery and the related treatise caused an uproar not only in the demonic world. It also provoked a backlash from the Holy See at the time, which was hated by radical theologians. The bold demonic scholars who accuse them of trying to peek into the realm of God the Father have transcended the boundaries of what God has drawn...... That great debate was the trigger for another confrontation between the clergy and the mages. ”
He sighed, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "But who would have thought that the one who discovered the existence of extraterrestrial life and indirectly proved the existence of other universes was actually the Holy See." ”
"But the battle between theology and magic technology is not the main point of our conversation, and we don't have to waste time on this boring thing." Sigma finally collected his feelings. Trying to regain the initiative of the conversation, he pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked in an oppressive tone, "Although I am not surprised by the existence of the other universe, it does not mean that I am completely convinced of your statement...... I thought about it for a while, and I found that there were a lot of doubts about this. ”
"Oh?" Clement smiled indifferently, "What's the doubt?" ”
"The most important thing is ......," Sigma said in a deep voice, "you claim that this is a rather terrifying and terrifying war race. And the Holy See's account of this matter also confirms this statement...... A large number of terrifying monsters suddenly emerged from the ruins, and out of fear and fear of the war ability and breeding power that they expressed, the head of the Holy See at that time immediately decided to seal the ruins. He later returned to the Holy See to report on his duties. Presumably, the cause and effect are also carefully explained. ”
Clement nodded, noncommittal.
The necromancer took a deep breath: "Then the problem arises...... Now that all three of you know the terrible things that are happening there, you know that there is a terrible race that sleeps in that ruins. Then why don't you make a decision and inform the top forces on the mainland. Gather the power of the whole of Nolan and wipe out this horrific race of terrorists confined to the ruins in the weakest period? ”
Clement was silent for a moment. Said slowly: "I said it...... There are some things that I know, but the Pope does not know. He and Celerius only thought that there was knowledge in that ruin, which did not belong to this era, and they were limited to their vision and insight, even if they broke their heads, they could not imagine that there was a terrifying evil god beast entrenched in the ruins, and only thought that the terrifying monster was some kind of guardian xenomorph in ancient times. ”
He snorted and said with a smile: "Due to the limited lifespan, the time of human life is really short compared to the history of the race, so our human race has the problem of advocating the ancients, and all the ancient civilizations that we don't know must be much stronger than we are now, and all the skills and culture that the ancients have and are lost to today, must also be good...... This kind of concept, even if it is a legendary powerhouse, is not exempt from vulgarity, and all kinds of unexplained visions, as long as they are related to ancient civilizations and magical relics, become no longer suspicious. ”
Sigma said coldly: "If you answer like this, there will be more and more doubts about the question. The most important point is that the other two legends don't know anything about it, and you are the only one who understands the truth, why would you want to hide this fact? ”
"What's the use of suing them?" Clement said coldly.
Sigma subconsciously replied: "Of course, it is to call on all major forces to destroy the miè ...... together"
"This kind of naïve words, let's talk about it after thinking about it!" "If everyone had been rational and not greedy, the Holy See would not have been in the crisis it is in today." The major forces have teamed up to destroy the ruins of Miè? Why? Do they understand the real horror of that race? More importantly, even if they truly understood the horrors of that beast and that race, would they be able to work together to destroy the ruins? ”
"Stop dreaming...... That beast that is almost like an evil god has wisdom not inferior to you and me, cunning and cruel, but also erudite and wise, it has all kinds of forbidden knowledge, Tesla was just a little taught by him, he can create a terrifying weapon that transcends the limitations of the times, and all kinds of magical magic instruments, do you really know, what does this mean? Clement stared at Sigma's eyes, "This means that if all the knowledge of this alien beast can be used by humans, then the magic civilization of the Nolan Terran will usher in a terrifying qualitative change and leap, Sigma, you are a mage, you come to sue me, what a great temptation is this...... Depravity and betrayal only depend on the number of chips, the merchant can abandon a qiē conscience and trample on a qiē law for the sake of 400% profit, and the mage can also sell his soul for this unparalleled wealth of knowledge and power! ”
"What's more, that alien beast and the race it controls are not only a killing race born for war, but an incomparably sharp weapon of war...... Their existence is a nightmare for every intelligent race, but it is a different story if it is their controller and master. ”
The acting pope looked at Sigma and said proudly: "You come to sue me, Sigma, which human being, which mage, which politician, which ruler in the world can overcome this amazing temptation to the extreme, can not have the slightest heartbeat, can suppress his greed, can refuse the voice of constant demagogy in the bottom of his heart?" ”
Sigma was silent.
In the face of great interests, greed will always triumph over reason, and once the desire in the heart appears, then the fluke psychology will sprout irrepressibly, and self-confidence will also swell...... Because humans are a race that is good at self-hypnosis, they will always focus on the huge benefits after the success of the adventure, but ignore the huge risks in the process, and the bad consequences if they fail.
Even the legendary powerhouses may not be able to resist this temptation.
They lack the necessary knowledge of the beast that is almost an evil god and the war race, and then they will overestimate their own strength and make a desperate choice.
Therefore, Clement is right, the so-called gathering of everyone's strength, forming an alliance, and nipping the crisis in the bud is a joke with no possibility of implementation.
Greed can tear a fragile alliance apart.
After a moment of silence, Sigma looked up, "Leave this alone for now...... You have concealed this from the Pope and His Majesty Cenorius, so what are your plans for it? Could it be that the things you've done these days, the things you're going to do, are actually related to them? ”
Clement looked at Sigma for a long time, then smiled and stood up: "This is another story, and tonight's story will end here." (To be continued......)
