Chapter 24: Towards Destruction

"You've said so much, you've asked me so much, and now it's my turn to ask you. In Dark's protest, Shul set aside the wine glasses on the table with an expression that was never more serious, "You are a straightforward person, and this kind of virtue is rare among smart people, but you are smart enough to communicate with you, so I can only use this direct method, so, although I don't like this way of speaking, I can only say this." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, just have a good time saying anything. Fellers frowned and urged, "Since you have given me hope, everyone is a man, and there is nothing to hide." By the way, one of those two is the ...... of the Temple of Knowledge."

"I absolutely trust them, and, if I have to say, it doesn't matter if I replace them with Orlana and Minnie, even if Wendy and Anika are present, I don't mind either. No, I should say, if it weren't for the fear that you would get into a fight, I would have liked to pull you both together and listen to me. Shuer suddenly got angry, grabbed the wine glass and poured a few sips, and said angrily, "You said that you guys, a good water curtain festival, let me take Lisa to be happy for a few days, don't you have to make something happen, I just said, you have a misunderstanding with each other, you tell me you have a fart misunderstanding, hmph, the prejudice between you is too deep." ”

"I don't think we had any misunderstanding. ”

"Okay, then let me ask you, why do you think they don't do anything on their own, and they don't let you try to try?"

"Women who spend all day in water have a habit of ......," Ferrers said halfway through, and then he stopped, as he said, the followers of the Lord of Flames never shy away from their mistakes, "Well, I admit, it's a bit prejudiced, but that's also because of ......."

"Okay, just understand it yourself, put aside your prejudices for a while, and put away your impulsiveness and radicalism, otherwise you won't be able to communicate properly. Originally, it was not a big contradiction, it could have been resolved peacefully or even cooperated, and it was clear that there could have been a result that everyone was satisfied with, but because of the past grievances, everyone was satisfied?"

"Well, you say, I'll listen. Philus tried to reach for the glass, but Shure pushed it aside.

"I need an absolutely sober audience, so drink and wait until I'm done. "And it's not just you, I'd love to see that Lord Offrigan will hear it too." ”

"The Lord is with me. "Well, that means the Lord of Flames is absolutely serious about this, and is always paying attention to it.

"Let me ask you a question first, about the purpose of your ritual. Shuer was silent for a moment before asking, "Is it related to the Great Rift?" ”

"As I said, this question cannot be said, absolutely not. Ferrers frowned and said, "Orlana must have told you that you can't even hint at it. ”

"Okay, then I'll put it another way. Xiuer slapped his thigh and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to answer, you just know it yourself, as long as it has a little bit to do with the Great Rift, it means that my following words have a basis, and you'd better think clearly before making a decision." ”

"Well, let's talk about it. ”

"Okay, you say, I'll judge for myself. ”

"The gods of the water system and the gods of the forest are by no means as you might think, do nothing but sit back and wait for disaster to strike. Shule spoke slowly, but in an extraordinarily powerful tone, "They take this matter more seriously than you, and they have planned countermeasures earlier than you. In their eyes, you're just a bunch of idiots who don't do anything and wait for the disaster to hit the ground running, and I think so. ”

Uh, brother, don't you really want to fight when you talk like this? Lisa's heart tugged, oh my God, my brother has never been so direct.

However, even if what Shul said was very hurtful, Ferres was not angry, but leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he frowned and asked, "What is the reason?"

"Because more than a thousand years ago, the temple of plants has tried to find a way to cope with the Great Rift. Shul asked rhetorically, "You don't know about this, do you?" ”

"You say that the rumor that a god of the plant god has been swallowed by the Great Rift?" Ferrus said uncertainly, "That's just a joke, the main god, the subordinate god, and the subordinate god of the plant temple have all appeared over the years, and no one has fallen at all. ”

"What if I say that this news has been confirmed by Lord Kaeya?"

Fellers kept his face calm and didn't speak, the name of the Earth Mother Kaeya is sometimes a kind of guarantee, which means that the news is true, so it means that it ......

"So, the gods of the forest have never given up trying to explore the Great Rift, and if your purpose has even the slightest connection with the Great Rift, it is enough to say that you have misunderstood Wendy and Lord Anika. ”

You continue. Ferrers was noncommittal, he was clever not to comment on right or wrong, and to avoid revealing the true intention of his purpose to Shure, but the fact that he was willing to continue listening was already telling the whole story, and it seemed that their purpose was indeed related to the Great Rift.

"What else? Shure scoffed, "They tried earlier than you, deeper than you tried to resist. ”

But now they've given up. Fairers shook his head, "But we haven't given up yet." ”

"Give up a fart. Shuer sneered, "Why do you think the Plant Temple is so dedicated to cooperating with me? It's because not long ago, Lord Anika personally entrusted me with a mission, the specific content of which is kept secret, but it is directly related to the Great Rift, and it is also deeply related to the fallen gods. ”

"Also, why did Mistress Wendy give us so many benefits? Because the new god of the oasis, I was commissioned by her to cheat from the otherworldly projection...... Brought back. This happened a few days ago, you should all know about it, but what you don't know is that this god has been fighting the Great Rift for more than a hundred years in her original world, and her brother and sister who are of the same origin have all fallen in the battle with the Great Rift, and I dare to say that no one knows the secrets of the Great Rift better than her, whether Pavadiga is a god or a mortal. ”

"They were working on it until a month ago, and now you tell me that they gave up? Do you think you're stupid and wrong?"

Fellers' face tensed, and the temperature around him rose a few degrees.

"These are the biggest secrets of the two temples, and I shouldn't have told you, but you're making too much trouble to tell you. Shuer sighed, "Actually, they are also responsible for this, I don't know if you have communicated before, I guess there must be, and it will definitely end in a dispute, I think, if they can explain this to you in detail, there will be no trouble in the future, I guessed correctly." ”

"Well, they didn't say that. ”

"But they must have said that this matter needs to be studied more carefully, and a safe way can be found, and you cannot let your reckless mess around, and the result is that you think they are inactive, they think you are too radical, too impulsive, and have no brains, and then they start arguing, and they quarrel until the end of the quarrel starts. ”

You were there, Fellers pouted to himself, is it really that easy to guess?

"So, I have an opinion, your plan, put it aside for the time being, and then give Wendy and Anika a little time, if you really can't find the root of the problem, or if you find the root cause and there is no better solution, I believe that the two adults will not only stop you anymore, but will take the initiative to help you try together, after all, the Holy Spirit, who has been trying unremittingly for more than a thousand years, will not really think like you think, because of timidity and fear and do nothing. ”

"Well, the problem is that there's no time, Shure. Fellers relaxed his body and shook his head helplessly, "If there is enough time, my lord doesn't mind waiting a little longer, but the reality doesn't give Pavadiga time, and my lord is also helpless to make this decision." ”

"Is there really such a hurry?" said Shuer, frowning, "How much time is left?"

"You don't understand, Shur, this is not to say that the two sides have agreed on a time for war, and the decisive battle will be fought in three or five years, no one can be sure how much time there is, everyone only knows that there is really not much time left for Pavadiga. ”

"Not sure why you are running out of time?"

"In the last year, the Great Rift erupted 698 times, of which 3111 were around the city, 452 appeared in the ghost space, and 203 people were known to have been affected, and as for the Otherworldly Projection, the Projection Gate was opened 3,385 times in different locations, an average of nearly 10 times a day. ”

"Hey, is it getting more and more frequent?" Schul mused, "It seems that I don't feel delusional. ”

"Hehe, the year before was only three-fifths, and the year before, the number was one-fifth. Philus stared straight at Shul and asked, "What does this mean, can you understand?"

"Disasters are becoming more and more frequent, and the world is heading for destruction?"

"It seems that you still don't understand the essence of the problem, so I can't go into details. Fellers shook his head, "But on the surface it can be explained in this way, so we're trying to deal with it, and if we don't do anything, we won't have to do anything for another five or six years at most." ”

"Five or six years. Shure repeated the time thoughtfully.

"In the past five or six years, the numbers I mentioned just now will probably increase exponentially until ......" Fellers smiled self-deprecatingly, "You are shadow chasers, haven't you found any trends in the projection world in the past few years?"

Shuer's face changed, and he did vaguely notice that the trend of the projection world in the past few years was not right.

"My lord is also the guardian of Pavatiga. Shuer said solemnly, "My lord also wants to protect this world. ”

"That's why I'm trying to take the time to persuade you. ”

"Even if it's only five or six years away, I hope you can give those two adults some more time, if it really doesn't work, let alone those two adults, even my lord will take the initiative to participate. ”

"Even during this time, many innocent people die every day. ”

"Can you guarantee that your plan won't kill more innocent people?"

Ferrers was silent again.

"Sacrifice is sometimes a necessary effort, not our choice, but the choice of fate. "All we can do is try to make their sacrifices as meaningful as possible, instead of gambling with fate with their sacrifices, and blindfolded." ”

"This is not only what I mean, but also what my lord means, after all, my lord loves the world deeply. Shur drew a circle on his chest, "God loves the world, holy." ”

"God so loved the world, holy. ”
