011 Ocean, Refresh, Surprise
This feeling of déjà vu made Li Xiang a little crazy, as if the two were not the first time they met, but had met for a long time.
In his previous life, when Li Xiang took over the position of the Polar Night Magician in the tarot cards, he had already passed away, and even the man who single-handedly created the tarot cards stood on the edge of the cliff.
He was brought into the tarot by the four of swords, rose from the bottom, and all the way up, and when he entered the top, he coincided with the biggest crisis in the tarot, the two most important men in the tarot, he knew very little.
In this world, Lancelot has already died inside the door, the level of the polar night mage is too high, and Li Xiang is also in direct contact for the first time.
But this feeling ......
"It seems that your memory has not been erased. Polar Night looked at him, a hint of an indifferent smile appeared on his old cheeks, "If you remember this feeling, it shows that the Imperial Clan's methods are not absolutely incomprehensible. ”
"Polar Night, he's also experienced a 'refresh'?" the Night King also took off her hood, she was very beautiful, she was about thirty years old, her plump body was wrapped in a robe, and she was naked inside, revealing a faint fragrance.
From the outside, the Night King and the Night Shadow are not much different, like twin sisters.
"I thought you would be somewhat surprised. Seeing Li Xiang's calm expression, the Night King pursed his lips slightly, like a little girl who hadn't eaten candy, and made a fuss, "Don't I look like her?"
"It's a lot like ...... But now I'm more curious about what you mean by 'refresh', and I think I have the right to know everything, if you need my help. Li Xiang replied calmly.
Too much shock is no longer stimulating.
"I'm her ancestor, and she's inherited most of my blood, so naturally there won't be much way out of appearance, and of course, we don't have anything to do with each other. The Night King smiled, "Although I occasionally care about her life, overall, we are only in the relationship of ancestors and descendants, and at most we have a partnership. ”
Li Xiang nodded, no wonder the Rose Maid Group contained so many maids who had committed crimes, they were once wanted by the Seven Continents, and some of them were even notorious among the player group, they were all assigned to the Great Wall of Calamity in the early years, and now they can come back because of the blood connection between the Night King and the Night Shadow.
My own family, of course, can operate at will.
"You and Wei have a long way to communicate in the future, so before that, let's hear me talk about something interesting. The Polar Night Mage chuckled, it was hard to imagine that his old appearance was the same age as the young and beautiful Night King.
In other words, Li Xiang has seen a lot of older players, either like Vice Principal Jeffrey, who already knows the end of life, or they usually don't show themselves in their old form.
They tend to be more inclined to bring out the best in themselves.
"Let's talk about two concepts first, first, the imperial family, and second, refreshing. Here, under the shroud of the first lighthouse, we don't have to worry about anyone's eavesdropping and interference, and when the lighthouse predecessor cast the lighthouse, he probably expected such a day. The lighthouse should not only guide humanity and light the way, but also be used to preserve the fire and eliminate all interference. ”
Polar Night sat on the ground, and in this level of the lighthouse, they could clearly see the scenery outside through the glass wall that surrounded it on all sides, and the huge roar of machinery continued, showing that the first lighthouse was always in operation.
"What exactly is the Imperial Family. Li Xiang asked.
"To understand this concept, I have to ask you a question, do you think the Seven Continents are the whole of the world?"
"Naturally not, isn't there still the Great Wall of Calamity outside? Outside the Great Wall is the territory of the Calamity camp, and I haven't been there. Li Xiang shook his head.
"The Great Wall of Calamity is a super ancient structure connecting the seven continents, where I and my legions of Night's Watch have been guarding for generations to defend against the invasion of Calamity, and since this human epoch, the goddess of Calamity has descended, and our pioneers have established it, and I am the fourth Guardian. The Night King tilted his head, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if telling some glorious history, "Our mission is to give everything to the survival of humanity, about the Great Wall of Calamity, Night's Watch, I will tell you later." ”
"But, do you know what exactly is outside the Wall?" the Night King looked at the starry sky outside, which was full of gray fog and black cyclones, but she seemed to be able to pierce the clouds and see the starlight behind her, "The territory of the Calamity camp is actually a boundless ocean. ”
"Ocean?!" Li Xiang was stunned.
"That's right, you can imagine that the seven continents are overlapping and entangled with each other, floating in the 'big world', the Great Wall of Calamity is like a silk wrapped around it, sealing it, and outside of ours, it is the territory of Calamity, they are endless oceans, and the only way to sail there is to use ships. The Night King nodded, "Of course, most of the time, it's them who keep invading, and we're just defending ourselves. The so-called ocean is not the same as you think, the sea is not necessarily made of water, it can also be stars, flames, thunder, frozen ......"
"In short, they live on one closed ocean island after another, this is what we say, the sea is outside, the sea is the island, and the so-called islands are their habitat, and they are also the territory of the monarchical calamity connected by the abyssal gate. The Polar Night Magician added, and by the way, he used his hands to carve patterns on the ground, making it easier for Li Xiang to understand.
"Legend has it that the Blue Star is composed of seven continents and four oceans, and after it is broken, the seven continents become seven continents, and the four oceans constitute the outer seas, those ...... It is the prototype of the construction of the Great Wall of Calamity. The Night King looked wistfully at the starry sky outside, "I heard that there are more worlds beyond the Blue Star, and they are also one of the components of the outer ocean, in short, the Emperor said so, we prefer to call the outer sea area - the eternal river." ”
"That's called the atmosphere. In other words, the islands in the outer sea may have been transformed by planets in the solar system, or some moons or something...... Li Xiang's astronomy knowledge only stayed in junior high school and the sporadic books he read in the library later.
He didn't pay much attention to that, his job and task was to make guns for the tarot cards, and the rest, as Sherlock Holmes said, "Does the earth revolve around the sun or the moon, and it doesn't affect my work, why should I know?"
He thinks so too.
"Atmospheric ...... Layer?It's a novelty, your tone is similar to that of some of the Emperor's people, and I should have taken you to see the Great Wall of Calamity when I have time. The Night King looked at him curiously, "That's what you're talking about, Polar Night?"
"Yes, my eyes can't see through it, and the Book of Prophecy of Wild Hitomi has also deviated, and I heard that the little guy named Sophia also made a mistake?" the Polar Night Mage smiled, "No one can predict his future, which means that at least he, like the people of the Imperial Clan, is not in the world rules of the Seven Continents." ”
"Ah, envy. If that's the case, it's really enviable. Bai Lili's woman spent her whole life trying to break free from the world rules of the Seven Continents, and she didn't succeed until she died, but her son was born to get everything she wanted, I now kind of understand why a madman like her would be different from Li Xiang, to be honest, I always felt that she looked down on everyone. The Night King pouted.
"At the end of the eternal river is the gate of eternity, and of course, now I don't think the so-called end is necessarily the real end. I don't know what kind of existence they live in the 'New World', because for thousands of years, we players have only known about their existence, but we have never even seen them. There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of the Polar Night Mage.
"Not only have I never seen it, they have issued orders forbidding us to talk about anything related to the imperial family, only absolute obedience. The Night King teased.
"Then why obey them? The five thrones have supreme power, not to mention above level 9, level 9 can still be restrained in this world?" Li Xiang didn't understand.
"That's the problem!" The Imperial Race never appears, they claim to be the creators of the Goddess of Calamity, and they call the shots, and no one dares to disobey them. Of course, as we become stronger, naturally not everyone will be willing to submit to this ethereal existence, and some people resist, and then they are refreshed. The Polar Night Mage said in a cold voice, "The so-called refresh, you can understand it as a reset. ”
"It's the mandatory special investigation of the Goddess of Calamity, you've experienced it once, and I don't think you have any memories of it, right? ”
Li Xiang was shocked, and nodded, yes, that time, there was, and then there was no trace of relevant memories, which was always a hurdle in his heart.
He didn't like it.
"What's scary, after being refreshed, you don't feel anything wrong, you can't find some changes, but there must be something changed. The Polar Night Mage's face once again showed a hint of confusion.
He was thinking, but he didn't know.
"After entering level 9, you are qualified to know about the existence of the Emperor, and the Goddess of Calamity will summon you and then grant you this information about the Emperor in a refresh way. If you turn your back on this information, you will be summoned and then refreshed again until everything is ...... Normal. The Night King also closed his eyes and recalled, "It was like that when we first refreshed, the so-called change, one thing that can be determined is that we will not hesitate to think that the existence of the Imperial Clan is reasonable. ”
"Like them today?" asked Li Xiang.
The Polar Night Magician nodded: "That's right, the Imperial Clan wants to destroy the Polar Night Organization and the Lighthouse Academy, the order from the Imperial Clan, they will feel very reasonable and will not question it, and then if they violate it, they will be 'punished by heaven', and they will instinctively fear the punishment of heaven, that is, refresh." ”
"But you ......"
"As you can see, refresh is not absolutely incomprehensible. Both of us have experienced a refresh, or the one who entered the Gate of Eternity in the first place, has been refreshed, but one of us has failed. Polar Night smiled, "Your mother, Bai Lili, she was not refreshed, or rather, she resisted. Of course, we didn't know it at the time, so there was that night rain. ”
"Originally, all of this was calmed down after her death, at least the evil leader and the evil cult disappeared, and the Seven Continents did not have any information about them for a long time. However, about a year after her death, our memories gradually changed. The Polar Night Mage nodded his head.
"At the moment, the only people who have changed are the people we participated in at the beginning, the Five Kings, I, Wei, Xiluo, Lancelot, and Bai Lily, I can be 100% sure that we are no longer affected by the refresh, as can be seen from the fact that we are not obedient to the Emperor like the other level 9s. ”
"Then today, the Black King looks no different from the others, he ...... Is it pretended?" Li Xiang was shocked.
"Little fool, there is a difference between man and man. At the beginning of the battle, do you know what infamy Bai Shili was carrying? Why? Because Lancelot didn't have to die, but he retreated, so much so that Lancelot had to close the door with his own life. There is no refresh effect, our memories are reshaped, this matter is tacitly known, but it has become a stain and pain for his life. ”
The Night King laughed,
"But the problem is that many non-level 9 players also vaguely know some of our past, indicating that some of us have leaked information, deliberately. Some people choose to be silent, some people choose to continue to follow their own path, some people pretend to be deaf and dumb, and some people are afraid to die, and it is Ji Ning who is afraid to die. He was afraid that he would be targeted by the people of the imperial clan again. ”
"Based on my speculation for so many years, the reason for this deviation is most likely that the goddess of calamity has changed, but I don't know what the problem is. After all, the goddess of calamity is in the new world, but we don't know where the new world is. ”
The Polar Night Magician frowned and looked at Li Xiang: "The Goddess of Calamity has become more and more strange over the years, and what she has done is different from before, probably since then, our memories have also begun to be reshaped, and the refresh effect is not as good as before. But now, with her in hand, the Imperial Clan has issued an order to kill me, as well as the lighthouse and the polar night. ”
"Similar to a machine failure?" Li Xiang admitted, and he also sensed the problem of the goddess of calamity.
But I always feel like there's something I haven't caught yet.
"So to speak, but she gave this order, apparently with intermittent convulsions. The Night King sneered, "The Emperor realizes that refresh doesn't do much for us anymore, so naturally we can only stop our mouths by strangling. There are people who pretend to be stupid and really stupid to jump into this circle, and that's what I don't understand, Polar Night, why do you sit and wait to die? You're not old enough to run out of gas. ”
Li Xiang understood, it sounded like the emperor found it difficult to control these variables, and was ready to take this opportunity to kill the most jumping polar night mage first, and some people took the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
After all, they don't care about the truth of the world and other ethereal things, and the resources they have are the most real.
How many pushers and secrets are behind this, I'm afraid only people of their level can know.
"These abyss gates were put by Bai Lili. She's going to kill me, to avenge the murder we had done together. She wants to take revenge on us, against the Imperial Family, against the world, even if we are now her allies. The Polar Night Mage slowly closed his eyes, "No one remembers what was behind the door, only Lancelot's death, the look in her eyes, and the ambush she had when she came out. But she, as she may recall, was, after all, not successful in the first place. ”
"Knowing that we are already on her side, but still refusing to let go?She took the lead and set up a killing game to kill you, and you are willing to die and not resist?" the Night King clenched his fists, "She wants to overthrow the Imperial Clan, and there is no conflict with us guarding the human race." ”
"Conflict, what she wants is a new world, a new world without any of us. The Polar Night Mage reopened her eyes, "probably allowing her only son to live." ”
"Crazy, she's completely crazy. The Night King shook his head, "And what about the point of you waiting to die?"
"Not everything makes sense, Wei. Li thought, do me a favor, a small favor, it will bring a small surprise to all of them, and after that, ......"
The Polar Night Magician muttered in a low voice, and Li Xiang listened silently.
When Li Xiang opened his eyes again, he was lying on the bed in his dormitory, as if the meeting had not happened.
But the words of the Polar Night Mage were ingrained in the depths of his mind.
The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
