Seeing Lan, Roland was both a little surprised and taken for granted, "Who are you?"

"A trapped person looking for help. Arashi looked around, "I know you have a lot to ask me, so we can sit down and talk slowly, let's take a seat by the window." ”

"Don't have to go to private room 302?" he watched as the other party sat down in a seat near the street.

"The place was agreed to avoid the eyes and ears, and since there was no one else here, it was natural to sit wherever you wanted. Lan said casually, "By the way, since it's a café, can you have a glass of freezing for me?"

"I thought the secret was going to tell a shocking secret, which made people nervous, and the slightest leak would lead to catastrophe. ”

"The value of a secret depends on the person who hears it. What's more, staying underground all day long, and beware of the expansion of erosion, is already nervous enough. It's hard to come out for a trip, so it's naturally easy to get better. Arashi replied slowly, "A glass of freezing, thank you." ”

Roland stared at her for a moment, then he didn't have a good breath, "I only have instant ones here." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Hell, it's obviously in her own territory, but it seems that she is the main guest...... He poured the coffee and milk from the refrigerator into the cup, added two lumps of ice, and brought them to the other party. During the whole process, he never took his eyes off Arashi.

"Don't worry, I won't disappear into thin air," Arashi shrugged.

"That maybe," Roland said without blinking, "I've contacted you with Garthia, and I've been to Prism City twice, but you're like you're completely gone. Since you left a note, why don't you just talk to me?"

This time, Lan was silent for a long time before sighing in a low voice, "Because the time hasn't come yet, kid." ”

Occasion...... Roland paused, "You mean, let me discover the Red Moon...... Erosion, actually, is more credible than if you had told me that?"

"Your response was quick, which made me expect a little more from you. ”

"Looking forward to helping you?" Roland couldn't help but snort, "you don't look like a person in desperate need of help at all. ”

"And what kind of performance do you think will make you believe? impatiently begging, hugging your thighs and crying, or promising a whole bunch of good rewards?" Arashi shook her head, "No, even if I did, you wouldn't believe it easily - it would only make things worse." ”

How do you know the result if you don t do it Roland wanted to half-jokingly reply, but when the words came to his lips he swallowed it again, the other party was not a peer like Garcia, she was the chief disciple of the Martial Arts Association, Garcia's master, and the senior of her own seniors. If the time sigil seen in the Reflection Chapel is also included, then she is probably seven or eight hundred years old. Looking at the characters who seemed to have come out of history, he found that he couldn't help but restrain a lot.

"Okay......" Roland sat down across from Lan and roughly combed through the countless questions in his head, "You were once a member of the Federation?"

"I have nothing to do with your world. Lan replied, "I was born here, and I will be buried here, although it is an extremely long process. ”

"But I've seen your portrait in the Church of Reflections—"

"It's not surprising that there are similarities," she interrupted, "and it's a record that has been preserved in history, and it doesn't have much reference value. ”

"It's a bit too coincidental. Roland frowned.

"If you stretch the timeline long enough, you'll find that any coincidences are nothing more than that. Instead of focusing on the past, it is better to focus on the present. ”

It is possible that she is indeed unaware, or she may be deliberately concealing it, but Roland knows that without the assistance of the nightingale, he would not be able to judge the truth in a few sentences of dialogue with his level of observance. Since the other party answered like this, there is no point in dwelling on it any longer, so it is better to ask more other questions.

"So...... What the hell is magic?"

Arashi raised the corners of her mouth, "You should have vaguely guessed - it's nothing." None of the existing systems can explain it, because it does not belong to this world in the first place, just as lower-dimensional beings cannot understand higher-dimensional structures. The only thing we know at the moment is that we can use it, so you can also describe it in a layman's word: the power of chance. ”

And so it was...... It's like the force of nature. Roland thought to himself, no, no...... It's not accurate, it's not that magic is the same as the force of nature, it's that they're all the same thing. In order to explain to yourself what magic is from another angle, the dream world will become what it is now. "What was your explanation at the orientation meeting in Prism City...... and the speculations in the book "Reason for Existence", all of which are ...... Really?"

One is the origin and essence of erosion, and the other is the inference of the continuous reincarnation of the battle of divine will, which can be said to be the questions he wants to figure out the most.

"Not exactly, but you can think so. Arashi replied with a surprising briskness.

"I want to know exactly what to say. ”

"That's beyond your comprehension, and you can't express it accurately in your writing system. She took a sip of her coffee, "In addition, all my actions are under the supervision of the gods, and if information is revealed that could harm it, both worlds will be destroyed." So keep in mind that only what you perceive for yourself is the real answer. ”

Roland couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, isn't this equivalent to saying bluntly, even if I lie, it's for your good.

"It has the power to destroy the world?"

"That's why I use the word god to refer to it, after all, this is the image of your consciousness that is most likely to have this ability. ”

"The purpose of the gods?"

"Let the battle of divine will continue. ”

"And what is your relationship with the gods?"

This time, Lan didn't answer immediately, but hesitated, "I'm the one who betrayed it. ”

"Back...... Rebellion?"

"That's right, there will never be an end to this kind of reincarnation, and I don't want to be stuck in this square inch forever. And reincarnation means attrition, and one day, the gods will also disintegrate, and at that time, no matter which world it is, it will become a dead silence. ”

Roland looked at her for a moment, "Then what is the purpose of your search for me......"

"I need your help, kid," Arashi didn't avoid his gaze, "I need you to stop the Divine Will War and bring it to a standstill." ”

"You mean, winning the war?"

"No, that's just starting a new round of reincarnation," Arashi shook his head, "To stop this, you have to replace the gods!"

Roland couldn't help but be stunned, this answer ...... It's really sensational.

He took a breath, "I'm sorry, I beg your pardon for refusing. ”

"Why?" Lan wondered, and the expression on his face changed a little differently than before.

"I can't verify what you're telling me, let alone admit that you can only use ambiguous answers in order to avoid the gods' surveillance. Sometimes misleading often only requires one word, which means that I may have been deceived by you, and I'm still counting your money - after all, you claim to have betrayed the gods, wouldn't it be easier to betray me?" Roland spread his hands, "It's not what I'm good at, so it's better to find someone else for such a great cause as replacing the gods." ”

"If you can do this—"

"Stop," Roland said, stretching out his hand, "wouldn't you promise a whole bunch of good returns? ”

This time, Arashi stared at him for ten minutes, "No...... I changed my mind. ”

"That's not very useful," Roland got up and poured himself a cup of coffee, "an empty reward is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, it looks good, but it doesn't make sense if you don't eat it." ”

"You should at least listen to me. ”

"I told you—"

"You can bring the ashes back to the world. ”

"Wow!"

Roland was stunned for a moment, and the cup in his hand slipped to the ground and shattered.
