Chapter 233: Falling Back into the Mist
"How did you get back?" asked Vasqui before Leo could speak.
"I'm also curious to know how I got back. Leo didn't care who asked such a thing first, and said truthfully: "As soon as I became conscious, I had already returned to Veron, and the location was not at Nine Golden Oak Street, but in a forest in the Bidia Mountains, and all the previous memories were lost. ”
Hearing Leo's words, Vaschi did not raise any questions, but agreed with the answer and nodded slightly.
Seeing Vasqui's performance, Leo became more and more sure of his guess, but he still asked directly, "You and Rembrandt have been to that place?"
Vaschi nodded, and added, "Actually, it's not just me and Rembrandt who have been there, but the Wasteland Shaman is trampling, Rembrandt's son Rembrandt II, James Rowling, a doctor of mythology from the Royal Academy of Inge, the black-robed Rogers of the Night's Watch, the last Tower wizard, and the apprentice of the Wizard of the Wilderness......" At this point she paused, a complicated expression appeared on her face, as if she had different feelings for this apprentice, and then sighed and said: " All those who have come into contact with the book of the Night God's Sigh have entered that ash world, except that only me, Rembrandt, and the shaman of the wasteland have come out alive. ”
Leo was also surprised by this answer, he really didn't expect that so many people in the world of Veren had entered the place where everything ended in the ruined capital, and that some people had also come back alive.
However, he suddenly thought of another thing mentioned in Vaschi's words, and immediately confirmed: "You have come into contact with the Night God Sigh book?"
"It's a long story, and it's a bit of a waste of time. Vaschi didn't seem to want to mention too much about the book Sigh of the Night, so he said vaguely: "To put it simply, after James Rowling found the Sigh of the Night, he invited a few of us to study the book together, but there was some accident in the middle, and the power contained in the book of the Sigh of the Night God burst out and sent us all to the world of ashes. ”
Leo couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Since you have been to that ash world, you should know the horrors there, why do you want to go in again?"
"I don't want to go there again, the people who want to go there again are Rembrandt and the Wasteland Shaman, but Rembrandt's body can't bear it, and my hindrance doesn't give me the opportunity to go to 9 Golden Oak Street in person. Vaschi said with an extremely cold expression.
Leo said in a deep voice, "Was my going to Nine Golden Oak Street also premeditated by Rembrandt?"
"No, you're just an accident. Vasqi quickly replied, "Actually, the Wasteland Shaman's stomping was the point of that trip to Nine Golden Oak Street, and they had been preparing for this for a long time, and they even ...... to determine if Nine Golden Oak Street could lead to that ash world," she said, pausing for a moment, not continuing her words, and then saying, "You were just an accident who joined in the middle of the way." ”
Leo was interested in what Rembrandt and the Wasteland Shaman had done to confirm the details of Nine Golden Oak Street, and it was not difficult to hear from Vasqui's words that Nine Golden Oak Street was actually leading to the ashes of the ruined capital.
If Vasqui's words are true, then many of Leo's previous judgments are problematic, such as the family who has been in and out of 9 Golden Oak Street many times, and the judgment about the dream world, etc.
He couldn't help but think that maybe he, Panic Trample, and the others who were with him had entered the dream world because of him, because of the Book of Night that he had with him at the time.
Some of the original speculations about the dream world were also pushed back on, and his perception of the dream world, the place where everything ended, and the world of Velon, became blurred again, as if he was stuck in a mess, but now there was no auxiliary brain system to help him sort out and analyze these chaotic clues and information.
"What happened to you at Nine Golden Oak Street?" Vaskey asked, though not interested in the Ashes, curious about Leo's experience.
Although Leo was a little confused now, he didn't casually ask Vasqui, but told Vaski some of his experiences after entering Nine Golden Oak Street, of course, some of the things that seemed inconsequential to him, such as Ciri, for example, the gods did not mention, just talked about Lake Town, the Night's Watch and the Wizarding Guild of Silvermoon City, etc.
Hearing Leo's narration, Vaschi was also surprised and dazed, when she opened her mouth to ask, she obviously didn't expect Leo's experience to be so strange, and what made her feel even more strange was time. According to Leo, he had only been in that dream world for about a month, and it had been five or six years since the world of Veron, and it was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
"Could it be that your time in the Ashes Land coincides with Veron's time?" Leo couldn't help but ask Vaschi when he heard Vaschi's question.
"Of course it's the same. Vaschi replied as well.
At this time, Leo felt more and more confused, and felt that the land of ashes that Vasqi was talking about was not the same place as the ruined capital royal city that he knew. So he asked Vasqi about the Ash King City, but Vasqi's answer was a little strange, because she had forgotten the specific appearance of the Ash King City, only remembered that it was very majestic and covered by endless ashes, and as for the specific images of other royal city buildings, she had forgotten about it, just like waking up from a dream and not remembering the things in the dream.
"Did you find the feather?" Vaschi was not interested in the composition of the world or the mysteries it contained, but in the promise Leo had made to Old Man Rembrandt.
Leo's spirit fell on the light in the storage space, and said, "I found it, but I don't know if it's the same thing as the feather you said." ”
Hearing Leo's uncertain tone, Vaschi not only did not show disappointment, but his eyes lit up slightly, and he asked hurriedly, "What is the feather you found?"
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "It doesn't look like a feather, it's just that when you get it, you ......."
"It feels like it's a feather. Before Leo could finish speaking, Vasqi immediately took Leo's words and accurately described how Leo felt when he got the light.
As Vasqui's words fell, Leo was sure that the light in his storage space was the feather that Rembrandt wanted.
Leo said, "If nothing else, I've found the feather, but it's not suitable for this place......"
"I know. Vaschi interrupted Leo's explanation, and then said with a little excitement: "Rembrandt will be happy to know the news." ”
Leo looked at Vaschi meaningfully, and asked tentatively, "Do you know what this feather does?"
"Don't you know?" Vaschi asked rhetorically, looking at Leo with some confusion.
Leo explained briefly and said, "The memory of how I got the feather has been lost, and after returning to Veron, the feather is in my hand, so ......"
"I don't know a lot about feathers either. Vasqi didn't seem to have any concerns, and didn't answer Leo's question, but only responded perfunctorily.
Leo could sense that Vaschi should know what the feather was for, and although he was a little unhappy that Vasqi didn't answer the question, he didn't follow up and asked, "Do I want to give you the feather now?"
"Don't!" Vaschi got up from his seat in shock, and quickly shook his head, as if the feather was some kind of flood beast, and then felt that his movements seemed to be too exaggerated, so Leo misunderstood, and immediately explained: "There is only one chance to use the feather, that is, the moment you give it to Rembrandt, if you give it to me in advance, it will only make the feather useless." ”
Leo didn't say whether he believed Vaschi's explanation, but just looked at Vasqi indifferently and said, "I think there are some things I should know, what do you think?"
Vaski could feel that the dissatisfaction had already appeared in Leo's heart, and if she continued to hide it like this, she was afraid that it would make things worse, so after a little contemplation, she decided to say something that she shouldn't tell Leo, only to see her ask, "Do you know about the Divine Prayer Technique?"
"I've seen it in books. Leo frowned and replied, "According to what is written in the book, this kind of prayer is more like a prank of the gods. ”
Leo first saw the record of prayer in the old man's study of Rembrandt, but the content of that book was more about the gods and other gods, and there was very little about prayer. It's just that in the dream world, he also obtained a book introducing the divine arts, and in that book, he introduced in detail the absurd but heart-warming magic of prayer.
In Leo's view, prayer is simply a qualification to pray to the gods for the fulfillment of wishes, and almost all prayers can be answered by the gods and truly realized. However, the results of the realization are often contrary to the results that the people who use the prayer technique have in mind.
For example, if someone uses prayer to pray to the gods for the fulfillment of a wish for endless wealth, then the power of prayer is likely to send the person directly to the treasury of a certain kingdom, stay with the money, and eventually either starve to death in the treasury or be guillotined by the guards of the treasury.
All in all, almost all users of the Prayer Technique are able to grant their wishes, but after the wish is granted, it will be accompanied by endless disasters, and in many cases, dying immediately may be the best outcome, and living is often only suffering, so in the eyes of many people, the Prayer Technique is also equivalent to the Disaster Technique.
Vaschi continued to guide and said, "It's true that ordinary prayer techniques can't have good results, but what if there is something that can counteract the side effects of prayer techniques?"
"You're talking about feathers?" said Leo in a deep voice.
Vaschi nodded and said, "The feather itself is a divine prayer technique, and it is a divine prayer technique without any side effects. ”
Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but be surprised, but he also felt a little skeptical, because if it was really like Vasqui's words, feathers were perfect prayers, then this thing would be too contrary to the basic laws of the world, such as the law of conservation of energy.
He wondered if he took out his feathers at this time and prayed that he would evolve into an omega-level higher being, then where would the energy that support him become an omega-level higher creature come from, would it be drawn from this world, and what kind of damage would it cause to this world?
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but think of the strong uneasiness in his heart when he first found that the light cluster was about to be taken out of the storage space to take it out for a closer look, perhaps the uneasiness at that time was related to this perfect prayer technique, which was a defensive reaction to the will of Gaia in the Veron world, because after this perfect prayer technique was cast, it might cause unpredictable results to this world.
While Leo was thinking, Vaschi was watching Leo's expression, although from the original experience of getting along, Leo was not a person who forgot his righteousness, but the perfect prayer technique was too tempting, and few people could not be moved, so she wanted to see if Leo would be greedy.
It doesn't matter if Leo really understands greed and is not ready to keep his promise and hand over the feather to Old Man Rembrandt, because using the feather requires a special method, and if there is no such method, taking the feather out and using it directly will only make the prayer technique a fatal disaster.
"It's okay!" With a scrutinizing mentality, Vaschi carefully observed every change in Leo's expression, but in the change of Leo's expression, there were both doubts and worries, and more solemnity, but there was no greed, which also made Vasqi feel relieved.
"This perfect prayer technique shouldn't be unlimited, there must be some specific method, and even there are strict restrictions on the wishes made, right?" Just as Vasqui breathed a sigh of relief, Leo's words lifted her heart again, because Leo was right in everything he said.
"How do you know?" asked Vasqui, surprised.
"It is conceivable that if there were no restrictions on this perfect prayer technique, then the person who obtained the feather would directly ask to become a god, and then the world order would be chaotic. Leo explained briefly, but then said tentatively, "And you should have used feathers before, but you haven't changed much, so it can be seen that there is a limit to what can be achieved by the Perfect Prayer Technique." ”
"Alive. After listening to Leo's analysis, Vaschi sighed and said in a deep voice: "When we got the feathers, we had only one wish, which was to live. As she spoke, she smiled wryly and said, "It's just that even if it is a perfect prayer technique, the price that needs to be paid to achieve the wish is huge. ”
Leo didn't ask what the price would be, but he guessed it had something to do with the tireless desire of the old man Rembrandt and the shaman of the wasteland to return to the Ashes King and find a new feather.
