Chapter 37: The People of the City
Rob looked at the lines on the stone pillar and groaned for a moment, then took out a magic carving knife from his bag and held it in his hand.
Luo Luo was surprised, "Didn't you say that the missing part was swallowed by Bevinadette?"
"Well, so now we'll have to try our luck. β
The structure on the stone pillar was much more complicated than the structure on the brooch treasure, and if it was the future Ultra Magister, he wouldn't be able to do anything, but now he knew what this structure was.
It has many names: magic, divine power, and secret art hidden in secret treasures, and the world calls it by all kinds of names, but in the end they all end up in the same way.
"You mean, whether it's divine power, magic, or mysticism...... Actually, it's all the same thing?"
"Well, we might as well call it the Force, and the three powers you mentioned earlier all originate from it, or are part of it. β
"Wait, this statement confuses me even more, but isn't the power of the gods the power of the gods?"
"No, that's just a lie of the Church, or more likely, the Church has actually been deceived, and the divine power currently being used by the temple is actually just a fake divine power. Rob paused," I know what you want to say, divine power comes from the gods, and the clergy are the most special group of professionals, their power does not belong to themselves, in fact, they use faith as a bargaining chip to exchange for the temporary use of divine power from the gods, because of this, the church is the most stable and cohesive force in the structure of the human world, and few clergymen have betrayed the temple for thousands of years, for example, it is as if your entire wealth is stored in others, and you can use it when you need it, but once you leave, it is equivalent to returning all the wealth you have accumulated over the yearsγ β
"You mean to say that the so-called divine power is just a means for the gods to control the clergy?"
"Well, one of the most direct evidences, the divine power of the church, the alchemy of the dwarves, and the power of the ancestors of the orcs, the mimicry magic in these three power systems can only simulate the former, because the divine power is the missing link of magic, this is not a coincidence, all the magic related to life is located in the untouchable taboo zone, magic and divine power are the product of the division of the force in two, and without the part that represents life, the magician will never be able to touch the real rules. β
"What about the secret arts?"
"Esoteric art is a system of power used by previous civilizations, it is not the Force, but it is a power that is very close to the Force, it is more efficient than magic, and it may only be one step away from touching the real rules. Rob pointed to the lines on the pillar, "This is the best proof that the person who left this thing behind is an absolute genius even in that civilization, he has touched the secret of the Force before everyone else." β
Because of this, the future Super Magister may be able to use the comprehension of the battle with the light giant to repair this pattern.
Rob explained to the girl as he did it, and it took him a full four spells to complete the structure, but it didn't change from the pillar until he carved the last slash.
"It's ...... Did you fail?"
Rob pondered for a moment, then beckoned to Bevinadette on the stone pillar, who flew down from it somewhat reluctantly, and Rob attached the body of the object to the stone pillar, probably because he sensed the breath of the secret treasure in Bevinavedette's body.
The next moment the lines on the stone pillar finally lit up, but the light was dim, and at the same time, Bevinadette began to twist her body continuously, struggling desperately to break away from someone's clutches.
His Excellency the future super magister was furious, he could feel that there was no pain at all in this dead bird, but there was an unknown energy in its body that was dissipating rapidly, and now Rob could not understand that he was repairing something similar to a teleportation array, opening this teleportation array not only requires a complete structure, but also energy, and the secret treasure obtained by Bevinadette is not only a key, but also something similar to a magic crystal, which can provide the required energy for this teleportation array.
Although I don't know how to do it, it seems that the demonic beasts on the grassland also have a way to absorb the power in it to improve themselves, no wonder those demonic beasts have such a strong desire for that thing, and Bevinaveette is fluttering at this moment just because she doesn't want the energy in her body to flow to the stone pillar.
Rob saw through the little abacus at a glance, pressed it against the stone pillar, and at the same time stretched out his other hand to Lolo, and said, "Pull me." β
The girl didn't hesitate, the moment she held someone's palm, her eyelids suddenly sank, and Luo Luo felt as if she had lost a few seconds of memory, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a completely strange city.
It was a very strange city, the architecture here was different from any known race on the Dawn Continent, but it gave it a familiar feeling, Luo Luo shook her head, and when she looked at the towering Mithril wall not far away, she finally realized where she was now.
This is the first floor of the dungeon.
When she realized this, she could match her memories when she looked around her, including the nearby bathhouse, where their team had discovered the brooch treasure, the granary, and the library...... It's just that these places seem to be a little different from the original.
It's life.
Luo Luo saw the household garbage next to a row of houses, and quickly understood what had changed.
The child looked up, after the teleportation just now, she didn't know what time it was, but it was probably close to dawn, and she remembered that she had been holding someone's hand before, but now Rob was missing from her side.
However, Luo Luo did not panic too much, on the contrary, her curiosity outweighed her fear, exploring the unknown is always the eternal desire of human beings, and the girl walks around the city, admiring this strange world.
It wasn't until she met the first "person" in the city in a grocery store-like place.
The "man" had his back to her, his shoulders hunching, as if he was sweeping up the fallen leaves and confetti in front of the door.
Luo Luo hesitated and said hi to the other party softly, but the guy didn't react, so the girl took a few steps closer and said hello again, but the other party was still indifferent.
In the end, Luo Luo had to pat him on the shoulder, and the guy turned around a little confused.
The girl was stunned for a moment, the figure of the "human" was very similar to that of an ordinary human, but the appearance was not the same, his face was very long, even more than his neck, there were four eyes on that long face, which were arranged on both sides, and the slender eyebrows drooped down from the corners of the eyes, so that Luo Luo couldn't tell how old the guy was, and in addition, there was a raised piece of flesh on the place of his head.
