"That's the concept that Enkels the Almighty proposed."

A silver-white inscription appeared on the gray-clad man's hand, and with a flick of his fingertips, no books flew out of the shelves.

"That book was borrowed by the Man in Black seventeen years ago."

The man in gray glanced at the vacant places on the shelves, and remembered that most of the books in his collection had been borrowed by the man in black.

"The Man in Black, what does he want those books for?"

"He and the Man in Blue have been investigating a mysterious religion."

The gray-clothed man waved his hand again, and another book flew out of the bookshelf and landed on Qiao Xiu's hand.

The text of the book is still an ancient and unknown text, and the man in gray has thoughtfully added a line of notes below it with a note.

"Something out of bounds?"

Qiao Xiu read out this line of notes.

"It describes a religion that was practiced many years ago, and I believe is the precursor to the current Inquisition." Said the man in gray.

“…… That one. Qiao Xiu took out the drawings he had drawn again, "I just want to find out what the owner of this arm is, and her weaknesses or something... If she's a magic doll, is there a switch to turn it off? ”

"The book mentions a magical machine that can lock the hearts and minds of living beings, and its fuel is human emotions, and its function is to fix a specific thought and emotion in the mind."

As the Grey Man spoke, an owl perched on his shoulder, as if whispering something to him.

"It still sounds so complicated, what kind of heresy predecessor made this thing?"

Qiao Xiu opened the book "Things Outside the World" again, and Qiao Xiu still couldn't read a single word of the content recorded on it.

"This is the 'evil thing' that the religion wants to destroy, and the creator was put to death by them." The Grey Man said this, the owl standing on his arm waved its wings and flew away, and his eyes also looked at the Sage Tower in the distance, "The Man in Black will go into more detail than I said, he will soon recount this at the Sage Council, are you interested?" ”

"I... Can you go to the Council of the Sages? ”

Qiao Xiu remembered that the council was supposed to be only accessible to the sages.

"Qualification as an internal successor apprentice by auditing." The man in gray glanced at Ciri beside Qiao Xiu and said, "Although you are not my apprentice, you are my mentor. ”

Qiao Xiu worked as a programming teacher at the Lursk Academy, and this elderly sage was one of the brightest disciples in Qiao Xiu's class.

"Looks like I'll have to listen to it."

Joshua has the feeling of playing an RPG, where he has to run back and forth between several NPCs in order to achieve his goal, and occasionally an NPC will ask, 'You can help me catch three chickens to tell you the news'.

But Qiao Xiu felt that this experience should also be one of the fun of the game, as long as it was not too complicated.

………………

Qiao Xiu came to the Sage Council for the second time to hang out, and the last time Qiao Xiu came to the Sage Council, he only saw the man in white alone.

In today's Council of Sages, except for the blue-clothed and purple-clothed ones, all the other sages were present.

In front of the man in black was an ancient book and a large pile of drawings, and it seemed that he was explaining to the sages the results of his research over the years.

"You go on."

Qiao Xiu noticed that the eyes of the other five sages were all looking at him, waved his hand, and found a place to sit down in a remote corner.

The man in red wanted to say something, but finally gave up, as an old acquaintance of the five sages of Nolan, Qiao Xiu really didn't have any objections sitting here.

"The so-called 'real world' in our eyes is the world we see, touch, and feel first, so we think this world is real, but in the 'real world' in the eyes of canine creatures, there is no such thing as color, because the world in the eyes of canines is gray and white," the man in black began to narrate a large number ......of things that Qiao Xiu couldn't understand.

"Are you going to get straight to the point?"

The man in yellow looked impatient than Qiao Xiu, he followed the man in black to support those high elves some time ago, but he was not less angry with those high elves, but he got a more useful news, that is, he found those 'game friends' of his chief apprentice on the magic web.

"What I'm trying to explain is... Extraterrestrial things are creatures that do not exist in our world. ”

The man in black waved his hand and a huge piece of manuscript paper appeared in front of him, on which was a ball of charcoal painted thread, and the words 'Something Outside the World' were written in the universal script.

"We can't recognize it, or we don't have the ability to see it, or touch it."

"So? You want to say that this thing has been hovering around me for a long time? The Man in Yellow interrupted the Man in Black again.

The more Qiao Xiu listened, the more it felt like the feeling in "The Cthulhu Mythos", if it was really that kind of 'weird' existence, Qiao Xiu really had no way to eliminate it.

"No, that's why it can't enter our world!" The man in black clapped his hands on the table, and scanned all the sages present with a serious gaze, "The inhabitants of the human race, as well as other races of intelligent beings, do not know what the 'Outsider' is, so it does not exist at all in this world. ”

"But the Inquisition of the Holy Religion is trying to summon that guy."

The man in red suddenly said that his relationship with the Holy Sect Country had not been good recently.

"For something outside to enter our world, there must be a large number of believers who believe that it 'exists,' that it has appearance, form, and power...... This gives it the ability to invade the consciousness space of the root, and when the World Tree gradually withers, it will descend into the real world! ”

"Wait a minute! You just talked about the space of consciousness? Qiao Xiu raised his hand at this moment and asked the man in black a question.

"That's right... Josieu Arnorod you have touched the sacred tree of our race, you should have the right to enter there, I also strayed into that space when I was young, it is a completely empty world, where the emotions of all intelligent beings gather, and when things outside enter it, they will use it as food, and we will not have any ability to resist! The man in black once again warned in a loud voice that someone was in the place.

"So what to do? Shall we gather the soldiers of all the nations of the world to Arthurcro and touch your World Tree? And then one by one line up into that consciousness space to fight that monster? The man in yellow sneered.

"That's not right." Qiao Xiu heard the black-clothed man's description of the consciousness space, and at the same time interrupted the yellow-clothed man's sarcasm, "I went there recently, and it's not that there is nothing. ”
