Chapter Ninety-Nine: Under the Aurora
When did it be? Curiosity and exploration of the world. It has been said that humanoid beings are born with a strong desire for knowledge, so that they can master knowledge, learn to use tools, and then build their own civilization. It is also said that it is really right to be forced to be squeezed out of the mother's womb, to be forced to understand the world in front of us in order to survive, to use the rough and superficial, naïve and ignorant language and cognitive structure of heaven and earth?
Cheese pondered the question, it seemed to him like a newborn nightmare, quietly appearing after the death of his mentor, the founder of the Grey Tower. The reason for this is that the Guru believes that this is due to a considerable conflict between the guru's all-powerful and all-knowing image and his own real-life experience. Clark knew everything, and the Greys, including him, never doubted it, even Ann Lina, who had lived longer than the Lord of the Grey Tower. So much so that now, all the Greys are eager to obtain the mystery of their mentor's wisdom, the legendary legacy that records the greatest secret of the Grey Tower. And Cheese, on the other hand, is now suspicious of it.
He wondered if Clark could easily see through the reality of those knots, if he would be able to prevent Lothar from falling into such danger, if he would be able to explain the light above their heads. Aurora, that's what the Frost Guards call these lights. The light resembles a blurry ribbon hanging in the air, or a twisted and swirling soft wall. The enigmatic light is beautiful and striking to ordinary people, some believe that the light is the torch and lantern that guides the deceased to the sky, and some believe that it is the mark left by the gods as they walk in the air. The gray-robed people who live on the ice field for a long time and can see these aurora lights only feel that they are a kind of light phenomenon that can be explored clearly, but there is no need for it.
A light phenomenon that only appears on the ice sheets, should not appear in the steppe sky during the day. It won't be there for it to happen here, unless, what looks like an aurora isn't actually an aurora. "Batu, keep an eye on our heads, and tell me any changes in those bands of light. ”
"How do I know it's changed, it's changing all the time!" the boy born on the grassland had a trembling voice, he had never seen anything other than the sun, moon, stars, clouds, rain, snow, and wind in the sky, and these aurora lights greatly shocked his understanding, and the extent was even higher than that of the skinners and yew people. If it weren't for Atta still standing beside him, it wouldn't be strange that Batu was scared to sit on the ground on the spot.
The female swordsman is not much better than him now. Atta had never seen the aurora before, and although she had stayed in the blue lion for a while, there was still a considerable distance between the molten iron and the Dragon's Back Mountain, and the aurora was not entrenched in the frozen sky all year round, and it was difficult to see it if it wasn't a frost guard or a gray robe.
At this time, someone stood up out of Cheese's surprise, and the cat fairy sighed softly, and climbed onto Atta's shoulder in three steps and two steps. "I'm watching the ghosts in the sky, and you're in charge of leading us on. Don't be mistaken, we can't go back. ”
Kairas's words alerted Batu and Atta, who had only just recovered from the shock of the aurora and suddenly found that the grassland around them had changed to a different shape. This is not to say that the prairie is no longer a prairie, but now the prairie is lined with knots of different sizes and distances, some of them dense, some of them standing alone, and there is no sense of hiding compared to the knots that Cheese used to force his appearance to prove his reasoning to Kailas. In addition, the phantom of Longji Mountain, which was originally faintly visible in the distance, also disappeared without a trace, and now from their perspective, there was no end in all directions, as if the whole world had become an endless grassland. The only consolation is that the river is still there.
"I try. Cheese nodded, he had some idea of what was going on, and although the appearance of the aurora was unexpected, the shaman did see a source of water flowing upstream from the knot when he looked down on the land with him through Naren's eyes. Now that the river is still here, it means that their general direction is not wrong, and as for the current abnormal state, it is understandable that the shaman's dream is full of mist, which is probably a metaphor, a metaphor that what he sees does not exist or does not fully exist in the actual space.
"By the way, there's something I'm curious about. As he walked, the mage suddenly looked back at the cat goblin, "Goblins don't exactly exist in this world, and in that respect alone, you are very similar to demons. So, if I kill you in this world, will you be sent back to the realm of the elves, or will you die like ordinary creatures?"
The pupils of the cat fairy contracted suddenly, and he stared at the back of Cheese's head, and the teeth in his mouth were unconsciously exposed. This is quite a matter of privacy, and it can even be said that it touches the privacy of Kailas, and the privacy of all the goblins. Demons can announce with great fanfare that they will not be killed in this world, because the way they came to this world is mainly to be summoned, therefore, this problem is actually impossible to hide, and more people know the name of a demon, which can also increase the likelihood of him being summoned. But goblins are different, goblins travel between the two worlds by their own will, for them, this world is not a playground, and some information cannot be revealed.
"No comment. If you want the answer to this question, you can visit our kingdom. "Visiting the kingdom of the elves is seen in many places as a metaphor for disappearances and unaccounted for. Kairas's words were a bit threatening, and whoever it was, he shouldn't have tried to get an answer to that question from the elves.
"Well, if you have the chance. Cheese replied as if he hadn't heard the threat of the cat goblin at all, but with the ability of the gray robe, even if he was really taken to the goblin realm, he probably didn't have an absolute chance to escape. It's just that the mage asked this question more to prove his long-standing doubts. This question is a question like the one he just asked, which touches the bottom line of other people, does his teacher have the answer? So how did he get the answer?
In the midst of this thought, the group's footsteps stopped again, this time, because not far in front of them stood a knot much larger than the others, and from below it a gurgling stream of water was flowing into the river beside it. Gesturing to the group to be careful, the mage took the lead in approaching the knot, and when he walked in front of the knot and could see the channel formed by the water flowing from it, a gray-green liquid gushing out from under it, and the water was densely packed with granular eggs.
