Chapter 421: Gambling
"Prepare what?" Jiang Weihan asked.
"Gaming." Lal used the word, "Sargeras, the Elder Gods, and you, the game of the three of you in the Hiresor." ”
"Of course not." Jiang Weihan replied confidently, "I only came to this world during the day, and I was forced to become a chess player in this game before night. My opponent has been well prepared and prepared, and even planned a qiē long ago; And I don't even know the opponent's move. ”
"It's not a fair matchup at all, and I'm already halfway through the loss before I even started." He replied with a frown.
"But you're at least a chess player, aren't you?" Ral retorted with an inexplicable affection, "And we—"
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Jiang Weihan understood in her heart.
The goddess of the moon is the supreme god of countless worlds in the canon, and although she has countless names, she shares a common will. She has unparalleled power and can even change the world, but that still doesn't change the brutal fact that neither she nor the mortals on earth can actually control their own destiny.
They are confined to a framework and have to act according to certain rules. Compared to those who know the truth of the world - the ancient gods, the Titans, and Jiang Weihan in front of her, they all have their own clear goals, and all their efforts are to achieve their goals, and even if she is stronger than many gods and Titans, she can't change the cruel fact that she is just a "pawn" in the hands of the other party.
Jiang Weihan suddenly regretted his previous actions - when he was waiting for the resurrection in the jade dream, he told Elune the "truth", although it was the other party's request. But this truth has put her in great trouble.
It can be seen that sometimes, white lies are also necessary.
"I'm sorry."
"Nope. No. Ral became calm again, "Actually, that's not bad. At least I know why Hiresor has become a battlefield, and what Sargeras and the Elder Gods want. ”
"You're not an ancient god?" Jiang Weihan couldn't help but ask.
According to the legend of the Great Goblin, Goyle and the other three sun gods are all descendants of Ral, which means that Ral is also the god of the Ancients - or the original god of the Ancients.
"It's not." Ral shook his head firmly, "I know you've heard some stories from my followers, but just like you told the other me, Elune, this whole world, this game world, has only been around for more than twenty years, and we have hundreds of thousands of years of memories out of thin air, which are inherently false. Isn't it? Not to mention ......"
She looked at Jiang Weihan, "It doesn't really matter if it's not that important, even if the legend is true, I and the other four sun gods just have a memory that corroborates each other." She smiled self-deprecatingly.
Lal, or Elune, quickly accepted Jiang Weihan's original statement. She was fully aware of her identity and situation, and knew that one of her memories was nothing more than compiled by the programmers who created the world. Stripping away this qiē, in fact, all the qiē that exists in this world becomes false—because all the things, all the relationships, all the feelings here are actually based on falsehood.
"During this time I have compiled my memories and tried to see this qiē from the perspective of people like you who are beyond this world. Now it looks like I've gained a lot. ”
The Moon Goddess paused, trying to put herself in the shoes of a bystander: "I. My countless avatars, including Ral, Elune, Msha, or others, as well as ourselves, actually come from a place called the 'Material Library'. Is that right? ”
Jiang Weihan nodded.
Library - This is the set of settings for the various things that programmers compiled when the world was created. This includes the number of characters, skills, personalities, levels, items, maps, buildings, power systems, backgrounds, etc., which are "quantified" in detail.
For example, the process of building Azeroth is the process of adding the "materials" from the library to the model of the planet step by step.
"I noticed that I was defined as the 'true God.'" The Goddess of the Moon' and the 'Allies of the Titans'. Etcetera. And when I also looked at the Elder Gods, I was convinced that I was not the same as them. The gods of the Ancients have no gender. And I have. ”
This alone can distinguish Lal from the ancient gods, Jiang Weihan patted his head, he was also a little dazed before, and actually forgot about this.
That's right, the Elder Gods have no gender.
But Goyle is obviously an ancient god, but why is he a child of Ral?
Without him deliberately asking, Ral told himself: "The relationship between me and Tarim and the four sun gods is really just a mortal speculation. In fact, these myths could not be further from the truth - Tarim was never my husband, and Goyle and the other three sun gods were never my sons. ”
Lal first threw out such a subversive conclusion, and then elaborated: "Shiresor is only a less important part of the story framework of World of Warcraft, it hardly appears in the eyes of the 'players', but only as a backstory of the return of the Tulayans, so the programmers will make the settings rough. Ever since you told me the truth, I have carefully examined my memories and deduced for a long time based on some of the settings of this world before I came up with the complete 'settings'. ”
Jiang Weihan listened carefully, but a sense of disobedience surged in his heart - it seemed that it was not the goddess of the moon who was talking to him, but a "player" who was adventuring the game world with him and studying the plot in detail.
These words don't seem like NPCs can speak. He sensed that the Moon Goddess seemed to be a little out of the "setting".
Don't know if it's good or bad? He wasn't so sure.
"In the original setting, there was an infighting between the ancient gods of Hiresor in ancient times, and one of the parties was Tarim, the king of mountains and rivers, who was the most powerful ancient god of Hiresor; On the other side is an alliance of four weaker but one-hearted Elder Gods, Goyle, Xia, Yar, and Kim. The great war between the two sides triggered the first catastrophe. In that war, I was a bystander. In the end, the two sides did not decide the winner, and the war went on, but the scale was much lower. ”
Lal speaks of another script from Hiresor's ancient "Four Days of Glory", which sounds even more terrifying, but surprisingly plausible.
"After a long time, the Titans of the Pantheon came into the world. They were enemies of the Elder Gods, and I didn't really like these guys, so I joined forces with Pantheon to strike while the two sides of the Elder Gods were devastated by the protracted war. Tarim was then killed, and the four sun gods on Goyle's side were also defeated. Goyle himself fell to the ground and was sealed at the foot of Vientiane Mountain, while his three brothers were sealed in the sky and under my supervision. ”
"So Tarim and Goyle aren't father and son either?" Jiang Weihan was a little dumbfounded.
"Not like that."
"What is the current situation of Ya'er......
"The parasite is helping it open the seal." Lal stared at Jiang Weihan, "It's your person, do you still say that you are not prepared?" ”
Jiang Weihan smiled awkwardly, a little weak-hearted. However, compared to the original mythical version, if Yael is the son of Ral, what Vikz does is turn his son against his mother, which makes him unable to face Lahr even more than freeing a prisoner who was already an enemy. Now it seems...... Barely reasonable......
"I promise, I didn't instruct it to do so, really!" Jiang Weihan raised his finger and swore and said.
"That's not important, and I don't mean to pursue it, don't worry." Ral made a gesture to calm him down, "If you don't come, someone else will release them." You and I both know that, don't we? ”
Jiang Weihan said: "So you are ready to stand on my side?" ”
"I don't have any other options, Your Excellency Jiang Weihan."
That's just as well. The Goddess of the Moon and the Elder God are natural enemies, and there is nothing to say about the Burning Legion, and for now, only Jiang Weihan, who stands with mortals, is her only choice.
"That's good!" Jiang Weihan's spirits perked up, and he immediately asked, "I want to know about Sargeras, do you know what his purpose is for coming to Hiresor?" ”
"I don't know." Ral's answer was like pouring a basin of cold water on Jiang Weihan's head.
He was stunned and repeated: "I don't know? ”
"His identity is so special, how can I guess his purpose? I'm afraid you'll have to find out for yourself. ”
Jiang Weihan thought that after he formed an alliance with Lal, it was equivalent to getting a true god-level plug-in, but reality gave him a deep blow.
Looks like he's still going to have to do it on his own.
"However, I got a message from Elune, which may have something to do with Sargeras." Lal suddenly turned around when Jiang Weihan almost didn't expect anything from her.
"What's the news?"
"The Burning Legion conducts a kind of real yàn in the reverse Karazhan, which is about the real yàn of the mirror world. Sargeras had been preparing for Medivan when he possessed it, and the demons had restarted it. Lal relayed the news he got from another of himself to Jiang Weihan.
"Mirror world?" Jiang Weihan muttered to himself. He was almost instantly alert, and had a series of associations - remembering that he had come from Azeroth, and that it was the Twilight Dragon Dragonax's self-detonation that had taken him from reverse Karazhan to Hiresor.
If this qiē was premeditated by Sargeras, then he must have sent Jiang Weihan here so that Jiang Weihan could not interfere with what he was doing against Karazhan.
Jiang Weihan will not be presumptuous, and he himself knows very well that if anyone can stop Sargeras's plan, it will be Jiang Weihan himself except for Almansur.
What does Sargeras most want to do right now?
When he came to Herose, he considered the first is to resurrect and master great power, and the second is to completely solve the crisis of the imaginary world.
Mirror world?
He suddenly became alert. Could it be that Sargeras is going to ...... (To be continued......)
