Chapter 316: Incentives and Popular Science
"I've never left my hometown, I just can't go back?
"What separates me from my hometown is not space, but ...... Time?! ”
Repeating the "shocking" news that Abner had just revealed, Crane heard his own heartbeat, which was not real, but only a rise and fall of his mood, after all, he was only a spirit now.
At the same time, common sense about the current world suddenly popped up in his mind:
"There are twelve months in a year, three hundred and sixty-five days, and leap years......
"Twenty-four hours a day, sixty minutes per hour, sixty seconds per minute......
"Confirmed to be planetary......
"There is only one sun and one moon in the sky......"
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Klein only felt that the "heartbeat" of his spirit was getting faster and faster, and many details that had not attracted his attention before were spewing out like a volcano in his mind:
"In the easternmost part of the Sunia Sea, before entering the ruins of the Divine War, there are decaying and collapsed steel buildings around the ancient well of the deep sea, which seems to have been left by humans......
"The overall topography of the North and South Continents is very similar to that of North and South America, except that a large area near the two has been directly erased by some force, forming a violent sea with complex shipping lanes and twists and turns...... In addition, Sunia Island drifted south as a whole like the big island in the north...... The sea is like an expanded and connected version of the Great Lakes, where it is like being attacked by a huge meteorite......
"On the northern continent, the mountains and rivers have changed a lot, but the overall shape is barely recognizable......
"That's it...... The Western Continent, the hometown of the elves, and the Eastern Continent where the 'God's Forsaken Land' is located, is obvious!
"Also, in the legend of the treasure of the sea, there is a lost civilization called Newnes, which sank somewhere in the Misty Sea......
"And Mr. 'Tower' also revealed that the source of humanoid races such as the Giant King, the Blood Clan, and the Elves is actually human......
"In the end, why the 'Source Castle' grabbed the 'Traveler' from the earth, and why those people all belonged to the era in which I lived, can also be explained......"
In just two or three seconds, Klein's mind seemed to be blasting one thunderbolt after another, which made his lips tremble slightly, but he still subconsciously resisted such a result, even though he knew that Abner would definitely not lie to him about such a thing.
"But the moon of this world is crimson...... The situation in the starry sky is also a little different from that of Earth...... I'm not an astronomy enthusiast, so I don't remember exactly, but Lao Huang was taking potions from the 'Knowledgeable' path, and the starry sky was really exactly the same, and he had already discovered it......" Klein seemed to be asking, and seemed to be looking for evidence to deny what Abner said.
"You've heard that phrase.
"When the stars return, chaos will rise from the earth, and the great first will awaken...... "Abner recalls the contents of the original book.
"The Stars Return to Their Positions...... Isn't that a meme? Could it be that it is not made up...... Is it a true doomsday prophecy?
"Because the stars are in place, the starry sky has changed?" Klein muttered, his face turning pale, "Our civilization has also suffered the end of the world, so it was destroyed?" ”
"Pretty much...... But there are other reasons for the changes in the moon and the starry sky, but you can't know much about it now...... At least the angels are qualified to know. Abner said vaguely.
"What difference does it make if you know it or not...... Anyway, I can't go back......" Klein's mood was low for a while, and he looked very depressed, a bit of a "lie flat" meaning.
To put it simply, he lost motivation.
Although Abner knew that this was only temporary, Klein was a person with a strong sense of responsibility after all, and he would hold on even for the sake of those who trusted him, but at this time, he still planned to give the other party a goal to boost morale: "The fifth age is 1368. ”
"What?" Klein looked up blankly, not quite understanding what Abner meant by the date.
"The year 1368 of the Fifth Age!" Abner repeated, and then said with a serious expression, "As long as you have the ability to 'prophesy', most people know that the end will come in that year!" ”
"Doomsday?!" Hearing this word, Klein really cheered up.
"Yes, Doomsday...... It's never far away, and it's coming!
"Even for the sake of Miss 'Temperance', for the sake of your brothers and sisters in this era, for the sake of the captain and Leonard, you should cheer up and try your best to improve your sequence and win a life in the apocalypse." Abner deliberately mentions his acquaintances, allowing ties to increase his sense of belonging to this era.
Hearing this, Klein was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and asked, "What is the end of the world?" ”
"For now, I can only tell you that the root of the end lies in the starry sky and in the original Creator."
……
In the captain's room of the "Black Death", Abner, who had just returned from the "Source Fort", sat up from the bed, he seriously recalled what he had just said to Klein, and only after confirming that there was no "out-of-the-ordinary" knowledge, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After briefly talking about the issues of "starry sky" and "doomsday", they turned the topic to the Western Continent and to "essentia".
Although Abner couldn't reveal too much on the issue of "essentia", lest Klein suffer unnecessary danger as a result, he still briefly talked to him about the names of each "essentia" and the corresponding "categories" of pathways.
This also made Klein faintly aware that above the true God, there may be a need for "essentia" to continue to ascend.
In short, Abner's wave of "popular science" is very strong, and even a lot of knowledge that Klein only knew about very late in the original book was revealed by Abner in advance...... For example, the sequence names and approximate capacity descriptions of all 22 pathways.
It can be said that if the current Klein drinks the "Ancient Scholar" potion, eighty percent of them can melt in his mouth.
But it's a pity that Klein still didn't take the initiative to confess that he was a "fool" in the end, although the two had already tacitly agreed.
As for the conspiracy of the royal family of Rune, he did not mention it, and I don't know if he forgot it or had other plans.
While Abner was thinking, Tracy suddenly hugged her from behind and asked affectionately, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing...... A little thing. Abner quietly broke free from the "Witch of Pain," and then straightened her clothes before turning back and saying, "I'm leaving, and if your mother comes to you again, remember to recite my name and pray to me." ”
With that, without waiting for Tracy to answer, he pushed open the door of the captain's quarters, and shook in front of the sailors on deck, and after receiving many envious and jealous glances, he opened a door in the void and walked in.
……
Inside the church of the Church of the Night in Wintershire, Kingdom of Rune.
Cindy the "Red Gloves", with her burgundy hair, breathed a sigh of relief when she handed over the body of the "Black Blade" who had suddenly appeared next to her to the Templar.
Then she looked back at Leonard, who had found her halfway yesterday, and fell into deep thought.
Leonard was a little weak by her, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Do I have anything on my face? ”
Cindy touched her chin and said uncertainly, "I don't know if it's an illusion......
"I always feel that you looked better yesterday than today!"
