Chapter 754: Ancient Secrets
"Different from the four elements of water, fire, terroir, the light element ┉┉ and the dark element are described as the overhead element, the conceptual element, and the belief element in this world, do you know why?"
Faced with Yalin's question, Yuehai shook his head and said that he knew nothing at all.
Rin Tosaka replied with a show of his hand: "Because the four elements do exist in this world and appear in people's daily life at any time, but light and darkness are different, ordinary people cannot observe them at all, and there is no experiment that can show the exact existence of these two elements." ”
Obviously, compared to Tsukimi, who lacks knowledge, Miss Tosaka, who is a magician herself and has studied under Medea for a long time and has browsed various magic books in the other world, knows more. Looking at Rin's very 'kind' smile, a tic-tac-toe suddenly appeared on Yuehai's forehead, but after being planted by Yalin before, Yuehai was not good at competing with Rin this time.
Yalin nodded noncommittally: "That's right, in this world, the four major elements actually exist, and the two elements of light and darkness were formed from the original fear and admiration of the world for the unknown realm, just like the sunrise and sunset, day and night are exchanged back and forth, and the world slowly begins to believe that there is the so-called light and darkness, and finally gradually changes from a vague concept to a belief and finally becomes a fantasy element in the sky." ”
In other words, these two elements do not exist in themselves, but the world believes that they exist, so through the belief of the world they have changed from nothingness to reality, right? Yuehai clasped his hands in front of his chest, and Nan Nan said, on the magnificent and fruitful pair.
Yuehai, who is usually not interested in some magical knowledge, is rarely listening to Yalin's explanation at this moment.
┉That's right. Yalin was silent for a moment and then nodded: "These two elements did not originally exist in this world, even the golden dragon, which is known as the wings of light, is actually good at manipulating fire rather than the so-called light at first. ”
Miss Tosaka, who remained silent on the side, said with some sighs: "Turning non-existent things into existence through faith, some of them are like humans worshipping gods." ”
"And so it is┉┉"
Yalin thought for a moment and finally pouted and said, "It's better to take advantage of the rest now, and I'll give you some things that are not recorded in books and literature." ”
"Ha~ senior, do you know any secrets?"
"I know more. Would you like to hear it?"
"No problem, Yalin-kun, I'm ready to listen to you. ”
Seeing that the two girls seemed to be interested, Yalin looked at the ball of light in his hand and slowly spoke: "As I said before, the two elements of light and darkness are non-existent overhead elements, if you want to describe it, the four elements are the cornerstones of this world, each element has its own elemental spirit world, and the elements themselves will devour and fuse with each other over time to form elemental creatures." Hmm~ Rin, can you summon elemental creatures now?"
Rin, who was suddenly asked, smiled a little embarrassedly: "Haha┉┉This doesn't seem to work┉┉I've seen other elven mages summon elemental creatures." ”
"Is that what Arin Junru said about the elemental creatures?"
The clear water flowing through Tsukimi's hand condensed together to form a rabbit made of water, and the water rabbit jumped around the table under Tsukimi's control, making Miss Tosaka on the side stunned. At this time, Chang Yuehai showed a look that seemed to be questioning, 'Are you okay?', and this time Chang Rin's forehead bulged with green tendons.
"Tsukimi! The elemental creature you created is not called an elemental creature called a puppet, the elemental creature is a creature with a certain self-awareness, and the more powerful the elemental creature, the clearer the self-consciousness is, just like the elemental lord I summoned before, although it is governed by my power, but Rin you should be able to feel that self-consciousness very clearly when fighting the elemental lord. ”
Miss Tosaka nodded and replied affirmatively: "How can you not feel the killing intent that wants to break my body into pieces." If it weren't for the help of your seniors to suppress it, maybe I would have been killed. ”
Hearing this, Yuehai sighed and removed the water rabbit he had made.
"Light and darkness cannot give birth to elemental beings without self-awareness, and there is no spirit realm in the elemental spirit world that represents these two elements. ”
Yalin gradually talked about some unknown hidden sides of this world: "Although there is no elemental spirit world, the two elements of light and darkness have the power to surpass the four elements in the powerful belief of the world, so that any magician who manipulates these two elements has stronger power than other mages, but it is also because the two elements have no self-consciousness that mages who can sense and use these two elements are extremely rare." More often than not, both elements need to be exercised by the hands of the gods and given to their followers. ”
"Wait┉┉Senior, I have a question. Rin suddenly made a pause gesture and said, "According to what you say, four of the five supreme gods of the Holy Capital represent the four elements. And the goddess of the moon can't represent the dark element, right?"
"You're right! The main reason why the goddess who originally represented the dark element was renamed the goddess of the moon was the prejudice of mortals. In most people's minds, darkness means evil, death, filth, and other negative names, if it is directly called by the god of darkness or the goddess of darkness┉┉"
"No one would believe in such a god that is terrible when you hear it. Hearing this, Rin also sighed helplessly.
But suddenly Rin thought of one thing, the five supreme gods of the Holy Capital represent five of the six elements, so who is the last one that represents the light element?
To this question, Yalin showed a meaningful smile: "This question is a good question~ And the deity that represents the light element should have also been read in the literature." The Holy See, located in the eastern part of the continent, is known as the only 'Lord' goddess in the world. It is a god who has been born as the cornerstone of faith in the elemental light. ”
Among the gods representing the six elements, one of them became a god believed in by another religious force, and still relied on the power of one person to compete with the other five gods, and for a while, the curiosity of both Miss Tosaka and Yuehai was completely suspended, and under the influence of gossip psychology, the two of them wanted to know what the reason was. The six gods who were supposed to be one split apart.
But Yalin didn't want to continue: "Okay~ I don't know when I'm going to talk about it, but now I've rested enough and continued to practice." ”
After the fall of the gods of the second generation, only the existence of the six pillars in this world is known as the god of the six pillars, but now one of the six pillars supporting this world has chosen to part ways with his companions, and the reason for today's situation is also because of the dragon war, but in the end, Ishtar chose to side with the human side that ignited the fuse of the war.
Having become a deity of the faith of 10,000 people in the eastern part of the continent and spreading the idea of human supremacy as a doctrine, what did Ishtar, as a light, see after that war?
Yarin didn't know and didn't have time to study why, at least the confrontation between the five supreme gods and Ishtar could more or less contain each other's energy, as the city of Ulduar in the gap between existence and existence, how to survive between the two sides was the first thing Yarin considered.
Seeing that the two girls were concentrating on practicing, Yalin opened the system again and quietly browsed, in addition to summoning characters, the system also comes with many functions, such as the map function, which allows Yalin to have a bird's-eye view of the entire Ulduar City without using mental power, and the entire nearby mountains and the Misty Forest can also be displayed very clearly. I once recorded the pictures in the system and made a 3D map, whether it is basic planning or military construction, this extremely detailed map has brought great help to Ulduar City.
In addition to the red color marked on the map to indicate places that have not yet been visited, yellow indicates that the ruins are being cleared, blue indicates that the reconstruction is in progress, and green indicates that the reconstruction has been completed.
In the lower districts of the city, Yalin can already see a city that is beginning to take shape, the pedestrians on the streets are hiding day by day, most of them are human-oriented, because the materials are not yet abundant, the shops are still very scarce, many people will take the currency issued after work to go to the designated mall to buy food and daily necessities, which reminds Yalin of his original world country in the sixties and seventies, of course, compared to the small city with a population of only more than 5,000 in his hands now, it can be said that it is not as good as that difficult period。
Although all kinds of goods are not abundant, but fortunately, most of the people here are slaves and will not mind, after all, the things provided now have no impact on the basic life, on the contrary, as slaves can regain their freedom, compared to giving food, clothing and other material gifts, for these people the dignity given in the spirit is more precious.
Although the city is mainly human, but there are still occasional Minotaurs patrolling the streets, these 'real bulls are tall' Minotaurs can indeed form a great deterrent to any criminals, of course, there has not been any crime in the city now, after all, everyone has just been freed from slavery, and the servility of obedience is still engraved in their souls and cannot be dissipated in a short time, everyone is working hard.
Of course, this good phenomenon cannot be maintained forever, and when the materials are abundant over time, when the desires suppressed by the whip in people's hearts are revived, all kinds of crimes will follow.
Building a utopian society is just a fantasy!
Perhaps many of the friends dream of building a perfect and gentle world, although Yalin also wants to make his country a paradise, but Yalin is not a two or three-year-old innocent child, on the contrary, some things that will happen in the future, it is best to prevent problems now.
