Chapter 387: Mirror Image of the Royal City
"But since there are pros, there are naturally disadvantages. Before Joey could begin to think of a large number of fantasies, Leo changed his mind and added.
"What's bad?" Joey was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down and asked, "What's the downside?"
Leo said in a deep voice, "The downside is that you will be the target of all the embers of wisdom in the royal city, because as long as they master you, they will be able to travel through the endless royal city, and everything you can obtain will naturally be obtained by them." ”
When Joey heard this, he was shocked, instinctively stepped back twice, and secretly looked at Leo, and saw that Leo did not have the kind of greed he had often seen before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because he felt that his reaction was a little too much, and all smiled at Leo with some embarrassment.
Leo ignored Joey's reaction, and instead asked the fire defense girl, "Why is this happening, is it related to the ring?"
"No, it shouldn't be a ring," the fire defense girl shook her head and said, "As far as I know, the ring definitely doesn't have this ability, it should be related to him, his clan or bloodline, he is not affected by the Abyss Great Serpent Ring, I'm afraid it's also because of this." ”
"Have anyone like him ever been to the royal city before?" asked Leo again.
"No, not one. The Fire Girl shook her head, looked at Joey, and replied in the affirmative, "And it's the first time I've seen a race like them." ”
"As far as I know, there is also a royal city in his world......" Leo said suspiciously, frowning.
"That's a royal city, and it's not a royal city. The fire defense woman explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Leo asked, puzzled by the contradictory answer.
At this time, the nuns and knights who were praying in front of the surrounding idols also recovered from their prayers, and the expressions on their faces were different, but it could be seen that they had more or less gained. Although they were also curious about the situation on Leo's side, the old man reading the book still had some deterrent effect on them, so that they did not come up. However, Seredore obviously didn't have so many worries, and walked to the bonfire with a big sword on his shoulder, and without asking too much, he sat directly by the campfire, and took out a small wine barrel from somewhere, and drank it leisurely.
Although Joey on the side was a little afraid of the fire defense girl, he heard that the conversation between the two actually involved Wang Cheng, which made him involuntarily come to the vicinity, pricked up his ears to sound, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he pricked up his ears, because his pair of long ears were erected, and he shook twice from time to time.
"There is only one royal city, but there is no limit to the number of royal city mirrors. The fire defense girl said simply: "The royal city of your world is actually just a mirror image of the royal city projected in your world, and even the gods in the mirror royal city are also just mirror images. ”
Leo frowned when he heard the fire defense girl's explanation, because he always felt that the fire defense girl had something to hide and didn't say everything. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, Joey couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and hurriedly asked, "Why did the gods project the mirror image of the royal city into our world?"
While this is not what Leo wants to know, he is equally curious.
"Even the gods can't answer this question, just like you ask why a big tree is rooted in the ground, and why the sun hangs in the air, and you can't explain it." ”
Joey didn't understand the fire defense girl's words, and his face showed a little dazed and pensive.
Leo thought for a moment and asked confirmatively, "What do you mean is that the mirror image of the royal city appears in different worlds is a law of the world, and it is not something that the gods can control. ”
"So to speak. The fire defense girl responded simply.
Joey suddenly asked, "The living dead will appear in our world because of the royal city, right?"
The Fire Defense Girl was silent for a moment before she said slowly: "The appearance of the living dead is because of the abyss invasion, the flames are extinguished, and it has nothing to do with the royal city. ”
"There is no direct relationship, so it means that there is an indirect relationship?" Because it involves his own world and the abnormal changes in his body, Joey seems to be a lot bolder, and asks step by step.
The fire defense girl was silent for a moment, and finally, nodded, and said, "You can also say that." The significance of the existence of the mirror image of the royal city in your world is to isolate the invasion of the abyss, but with the disappearance of the royal city, the world's barrier against the abyss will also disappear, and the flames of the world will gradually be swallowed up by the abyss, and humanity will disappear with it, and the embers will appear. ”
Hearing the words of the fire defense girl, Joey's face became a little ugly, and he didn't know if he was hesitating because of his physical condition or worried about the disaster in the world.
It's just that after Leo listened to the words of the Fire Defense Girl, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, because if the castle on the top of the golden giant deer is really a royal city, then it means that the royal city of the Velonon world has been destroyed, then the abyss will inevitably invade, and there will definitely be living dead people in the Velonn world, but throughout the various classics of the Velonon world, there is no content about the abyss invasion.
For some reason, Leo couldn't help but have an idea that was a little ridiculous, but it might be true.
From the previous conversations between Joey and Seredor and others, Leo knew that the world they were in was not a world where the gods could easily perform miracles, and they did not have a lot of extraordinary powers, and even the religion was a religious system built with the gods of the royal city as the core.
But the world of Veron is different from these worlds, in ancient times, the world of Valon was a world full of gods, not only the true gods who have truly evolved to the omega-level advanced life forms, but also a large number of pseudo-gods who have not completed their evolution but are still strong in strength, which means that the power system of the Velonn world is not at all an order of magnitude compared to the world of Joey and Seredor and others.
Something like the Wangcheng projection may be a major event that can affect the situation and future direction of the world in other worlds, but it is just an insignificant small wave in the sea in the world of Velon.
The castle similar to the royal city on the head of the golden giant deer may not mean that the royal city can suppress the golden giant deer, on the contrary, the castle may be the spoils of the golden giant deer, and the object of the battle is very likely to be the gods of Arnorrond in the projection of the royal city, and in the end, it is more likely that the gods of Arnorrond were defeated, and even the projection of the royal city was taken away and became the trophy of the golden giant deer.
In the face of such a powerful god in the Velun World, I am afraid that even the Abyss will not be able to bargain, and naturally it will not be able to affect the Velen World.
It's just that Leo is a little worried that now the gods of the world of Veron are beginning to disappear one by one, and the situation is somewhat similar to the world of Seredor and others, although there are no living dead yet, but at least there have been some anomalies that are not very good, which makes him wonder if this is a portent.
"What is the Abyss?" Joy asked another question that Leo also wanted to know.
"The abyss is the lowest original sin in the world, the root of all evil. The fire defense girl gave a vague answer, and there was not much useful content, more like a lame verse.
This sentence was useless to Joey, but to Leo it was like a reminder, reminding him of a flight mission report.
In that mission report, it was mentioned that during a flight test, the spacecraft entered an unknown space, lost its way, and then forcibly opened a channel with double singularity particles, and after returning to the normal universe, everyone on the spacecraft had mental problems, and their personalities and so on changed, these people were eventually supervised, and the most serious of them conducted a series of secret experiments, and the test report mentioned a very special word, this word is black oil, and the note behind the black oil is the root of all evil。
After remembering the report, Leo couldn't help but wonder if the black oil and human pus mentioned in the report could be the same thing.
Just when Leo wanted to ask the fire girl about the details of human pus, there was a sudden strong vibration in the prayer hall where they were, everyone did not stand still for a while, and sat on the ground staggeredly, and the magical connection between the two time and space formed by the bonfire was now broken, except for the fact that the flames of the bonfire burned more vigorously, there was no other change around.
"Is there something wrong with them?" asked Joey, who was keenly aware of the anomaly on the fire defense girl's side just now.
"Maybe!" Leo walked over to the campfire and sat down, motioning to Joey, and said, "Wait a little longer, if they don't show up, I'll leave and go to the upper levels of the royal city, what about you?"
"Me?" Joey was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "I also want to see what the situation is in the upper royal city, if you don't bother, I hope you can take me." ”
Leo nodded, and then in order to pass the time, he casually asked about the situation in Joey's world.
Obviously, Joey's own knowledge is not enough to answer such a question, and his world should still be similar to the old Earth Age medieval era, where knights are the masters of warfare, so knights also have some privileges.
Joey is from a civilian background, like most slum children, he joined the gangs under the League of Thieves very early, and then begged for a living in Ice Ridge City, in fact, most of Joey's previous time was spent in Ice Ridge City, and his understanding of the world was only limited to the Northern Kingdom and its surrounding countries, and even how many provinces there were in the Northern Kingdom, and which big cities he didn't know very well, so Leo only got a very small amount of information about that world from him.
However, in this small amount of information, Leo found an interesting thing, that is, a myth and legend that circulated throughout the world, a legend about the human beings in that world.
According to legend, the human ancestors of that world lived on a star in the sky and lived a happy and prosperous life, but because of some of the most evil beings, their ancestors were forced to leave the world they lived in, and were sent to this world by an incomparably huge ship along the sea of stars, and gradually multiplied.
This myth and legend also confirmed Leo's previous suspicions, and the people in Joey's world were also survivors of the slave ships back then, and if nothing else, the people in Seredor's world also came from the same background.
In this way, it is possible that all those who can enter the royal city or the place where everything ends may have this origin, so this matter is worth pondering.
After the death of the Wycombe Abbey and the Guha giants, how did the survivors of the slave ship escape, and how did they have anything to do with the royal city and the place where everything ended, and there were not only humans and any hybrids of other races on the slave ship, but also many alien races, many of which were powerful enough to survive in outer space for a period of time, where did these aliens go, and why only humans and human hybrids survived.
A series of questions came to Leo's mind, but none of them could be answered right now.
Just when Leo was troubled by all kinds of problems, Joey on the side also asked Leo some questions about how to obtain extraordinary powers, for these questions, Leo said very simply, not too deeply, especially when it comes to psionic content, he didn't know it at all, because even if it is about Joey's blood, it is impossible to open psionic power.
"Mr. Leo, how can I get the kind of power you say I have?" After going around a few times, Joey finally couldn't help the thought in his heart and asked Leo directly.
In the face of Joey's inquiry, Leo was silent for a moment and said, "You can't have the power I have. ”
Joey's face immediately turned a little gloomy.
But after Leo changed his words, he said: "But there are always no absolutes, at least I know that there are some ways that can allow you to obtain some power beyond ordinary people." ”
"What's that method?" asked Joey impatiently.
However, Leo didn't answer, but looked at Joey and smiled.
Joey has been at the bottom all the year round, so he naturally knows what Leo means, and he can't help but touch the ring on his hand, in his opinion, the most valuable thing on his body is this ring.
"I don't need your ring. Such an obvious action naturally couldn't escape Leo's eyes, he easily guessed the other party's thoughts, shook his head and said: "Your ring is useless to me, you don't have to pay for what I need now, if we can meet here in the future, you can give it to me then." ”
"Aren't you at a loss?" asked Joey, stunned for a moment.
"Now you think I'm at a loss, and you may feel like you're at a loss in the future. Leo shook his head, hinted, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”
Joey hesitated for a moment, cautiously did not agree immediately, but asked tentatively, "What do you want me to give you?"
"Give me everything related to your origin myths. Leo didn't even think about it, and he made his own conditions.
