Chapter 22: The Bird of Knowledge
After the Iceman placed Maythus on the ground, his body quickly shrunk back to his original form at Vebrun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They are now in the magic tower, but they don't know what level they are entering, all around them are filled with white light, refracted into the air and become distorted, a bit like sparkling waves, it looks like a dream, but there are dangers in the magic tower all the time, the more strange the place, the more careful you have to be.
"Don't change back, Veblen, if we can always be deified, we can easily get out of the magic tower!" "Women are fickle, they were scared to death when they saw the iceman earlier, and they disliked his original body after knowing that Veblen was conscious.
"Do you think I don't want to?" said Wiblen angrily, "At first I really fell asleep, but then I woke up early, and the wisp of divine consciousness disappeared after repelling the Azuran, and I took control of my body again, and with the help of the divine ice talent, I took you back to the magic tower, which is the limit of what I can do." ”
Vebron's face was depressed, his spirit was sluggish, and his deification consumed him greatly, far from what he could withstand at present.
But what was even more strange to him was when his body was infused with a trace of divine soul by Arecel, and became the carrier of her descent into the material world.
He was more sure than anyone else of the fact that Aresel had fallen, because the goddess of ice and snow was written to death by him, and what he wrote in this world was history in the past, and established facts in the future, iron rules, which could not be changed.
But there is indeed a soul of Arecel in his body, and there is a time paradox here: Arecel died in the second age, and Veblen was born in the fourth age, with tens of thousands of years in between.
It cannot be explained at a point in time, unless there is another reason.
Is it hereditary?
Wiblen thought of other factors.
It's not impossible, the spirit will theoretically only latent in the body of the current generation, but subtly it will change the genes of the carrier and pass it on to future generations.
Although most of them have lost their effect with the passage of time, there are still some humans with exceptional talent who can awaken this power in their bodies.
If the ancestor of Veblen was the carrier of Arecel in the Second Age, then everything makes sense, anyway, this goddess did not know how many carriers she had prepared at that time in order to start a war with the Cloud City.
However, the gods have always been very picky about carriers, especially goddesses like Aresel, who is famous for her lively love and stinky beauty, and her requirements for carriers are even stricter, not handsome men and women, talented, and noble-born, she doesn't even look at it.
In this way, it seems that his family used to be very prominent, I thought that old John's honest appearance should be a farmer for generations, but I didn't expect that my ancestors were still wide.
Regardless, having the spirit of the Ice Goddess is a good thing for him.
If Alessel is still alive, Veblen will have to worry that he will be possessed one day, since the goddess of ice and snow has died, then the soul in the body is a great gift, even if it is not needed now, but he Veblen has a great future, and he will be able to use it for him one day.
"Can you deify after resting for a while?" Meysers didn't give up, the current situation of the two of them was obvious, they belonged to a typical situation just out of Longtan and fell into a tiger's den, if they couldn't be deified, plus the holiness had withered, the situation was really very dangerous.
"Not at all, the energy of the divine soul has been exhausted. "Veblen said that there was nothing he could do, and if he regarded deification as a skill, now this skill has entered a cooldown period, and it is infinitely long.
If you want to reactivate, you need to replenish the mana, Veblen is not a magician yet, so he can't do this for the time being, the most important thing is the magic power needed to activate the divine soul, he estimates that at least the great magician at the temple level can barely supply it, and he is a little far behind now.
The most important thing is that his holiness withered and turned into a snow flower, and his spirit resided in this ice and snow flower.
Of course, this deal will be profitable in the long run, the kind that makes a lot of money, and even the virtual image of the demon king Azuran can be slapped to death with one palm after being deified, as long as this combat power does not provoke the top group of people, self-protection is more than enough.
But in the present situation, holiness that comes to life is much more practical than a soul that draws an empty cake.
"It's not the way to stay here," Wiblen said. "If you're in danger, run away. He instructed, and Mayses gave him a disdainful look, but nodded in agreement.
The two of them followed this space full of white light, and after a while, they got lost, there was really no way, there was nothing else here except for the white light that made people's eyes dizzy.
Without a reference, it is impossible to distinguish between the east and the west, let alone find the way, and in this case, people are easy to become depressed.
Then they spotted a figure in front of them, sitting cross-legged on the ground, very short, looking like a child.
It's a dwarf!
They walked in to see each other's identities, and the two looked at each other, the dwarves were almost extinct after losing the battle for supremacy in the First Age, and the only remaining dwarves left Aldrich in search of eternal paradise.
Now it's the Quaternary Age, and the dwarves have long since disappeared, and now a dwarf suddenly appears in the magic tower, no matter how you think about it, it's extremely weird.
The two of them walked up to him, only to find that the dwarf was pale and grim-faced, a ghost, and on his shoulders stood two identical puppet birds.
"It's a Pathfinder!" Meyses whispered, explaining to Veblen
The Bird of Wisdom is a treasure of hell, and although it is a wooden puppet, it has simple wisdom, is proficient in various languages, is knowledgeable, well-informed, and has no fancy intestines, and answers all questions.
The reason why it is called the Bird of Mind is that many humans who have lost their way in Hell have returned to the surface through the guidance of the Bird, in a sense, it is a kind bird.
Veblen was fascinated by this, but now he wanted to ask for news and directions from his lover's ghost.
He saw that the other party seemed to have something on his mind, and looked worried, so he stepped forward and said hello, "Hello, sir, is there anything I can do to help you?"
Whether it helps or not, he'll be able to ask for help after that.
"Hmm... Be... Yes, great, I just need help. The dwarven ghost stammered, and looked like he hadn't seen a living person in a long time, and of course from Wiblen's own experience, he was more inclined to have a bad brain.
The old ghost had only been trapped for decades before he had already shown symptoms of Alzheimer's, and who knows how long this dwarf had been ghostly?
But things are in his favor, the dwarf is ingenious, but the IQ is very average, and now he has become a ghost again, he must have no brains, and it is a good time to cheat.
The dwarven ghost didn't know that Veblen was in trouble, he was troubled by a problem, and now that someone was willing to help, he was very happy, "That's the way it is......" he said of his distress.
The Demon King Azuran stumbled upon a Pathfinder, which he found at first quite funny, but after teasing it as a toy for a while, he got tired of it, and threw it to the Dwarven Ghost and never bothered to ask about it again.
Azuran's attitude towards his toys can be very casual, but the dwarven ghost does not dare to slack off, it is his boss, who not only determines his salary, but also holds his life, so he carefully maintains this waybird every day.
Azuran seems to have forgotten about this treasure, he has abandoned it here for hundreds of years, and the bird is made of hazel trees in hell, and since it is made of wood, it will naturally rot and be damaged.
The dwarven ghost takes good care of it, and when the parts are broken, he replaces them, and when the pieces of wood rot, he replaces them.
One day he looked at the old parts, and suddenly he had an idea, and put together the parts that had been replaced from the Bird's body and put them together in the shape of the Bird.
Whenever something was damaged on the bird's body, he would immediately replace it and put the old parts back together.
In this way, I don't know how many hundred years have passed, all the parts on the Bird have been replaced, and he has really inherited the dwarf's manufacturing talent, using the old parts replaced by the Bird to make a new Bird.
The two birds, one old and the other, are not the slightest difference in appearance, and both have simple wisdom and can answer any question that is raised.
Not long ago, however, Azuran remembered the toy he had abandoned for a long time, and he ordered the dwarven ghost to bring the original bird to him.
Now, the dwarven ghost is in trouble, he has two way-reading birds, which one is the original one?
He couldn't get an answer after thinking about it, so he decided to ask the two waybirds.
The new bird said: I am the original bird, you renovated me with your own hands, witnessed my changes, we are always in a continuous time, the other bird is just a fake you assembled with worn-out parts!
The dwarven ghost thought it was reasonable, but in the interest of other opinions, he asked another waybird.
Another bird said, "Don't listen to its nonsense, I'm the original bird, you think every part of my body is exactly the same as the original, and it, its parts are brand new, it's a fake you built out of new wood."
The dwarven ghost thought it made sense, and now he was completely confused, which was the original waybird?
