Chapter 157: The Lost Castle (12)
After solving the white-haired Xinong, Dalton began to ask the question, "Why is Big Brother Xinong here?"
"I said that he is not the Xinon you know, it is impossible for Xinon to live for hundreds or thousands of years after the destruction of the plane, and he will not even have the lifespan of a normal god punisher. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Aruka was very calm when he said this, Xinong has mastered the bloodline skill of the [Perfect Body], a scoundrel to the extreme, and what he has paid is his own life, Xinong is willing, if it weren't for the [Perfect Body], he might have died a long time ago. Everyone is an adult, even if they are brothers, it is not right to interfere with other people's choices. How long can a god destroyer live? It depends on the level of life force, and it is said that the "swordsman" who ranks first and no end of the dragon has appeared from the end of the day to the present. The end of the war between gods and demons came after the end of the war, that is, the beginning of the heroic age, which was counted three thousand years ago. What rank is the swordsman?Duke of Divine Blood?Earl of Divine Blood?No one knows, but judging from the strength of the Silver Fortress as a Viscount of Divine Blood, he can bravely crown the three armies, and the swordsman is likely to single-handedly take on a Hill Empire, and he is a demigod walking in the world. However, this kind of master generally does not get involved in human affairs, just like the main god will not care about the life and death of mortals unless it is for his own interests.
"But I also want to know why there is a Xinon here, a guess is that Xinon is a person from this plane, this is not impossible, if the universe is infinite, the possibilities are naturally infinite, and there is a chance that an almost completely similar person will appear. Aluka thought for a moment and shook his head, "But I have another guess that is more likely, this Xinong is the Xinong we know, but it is not the Xinong we know." ”
"What do you mean?" Dalton didn't understand at all.
"I've been thinking about what I said before the Destruction of the Plane, about the destruction of the plane. Why did the planes be destroyed, and under what conditions? If I'm not mistaken, it's not just one plane that is destroyed, it's all planes that are destroyed together, or the whole universe is destroyed together. And some planes that have mastered the power of rules have not been completely destroyed, but have become special planes, so after the birth of the next universe, the remnants of the previous universe have been preserved. This is a cycle, the universe is born, the universe is destroyed, and if there is no external influence, the former universe and the latter universe will not be much different. Dalton was about to be stunned, but Aruka himself was excited, he felt that he had come into contact with a deeper secret, "First of all, assuming that the Extinction Dao did not deceive us, then it can be assumed that the Sinon in the previous universe also became a god puncher, came to the plane of the White Tower Castle to accept the mission, and stayed for some reason until the destruction of the universe." He lost his memory, or was controlled by a higher being, and became the gatekeeper of the chamber. After the birth of the new universe, the new Sinong did not change his fate, and still came to the new White Tower Castle, and it is likely that he will still stay here for some reason......"
There is only one variable, and that is Aluca. He remembered what the God of Wisdom had said to him at the ends of the earth, that fate is like a river, and it is a river that does not rain, and the flow is constant. In this way, fate can only flow according to the established course of the river, unless there is an external force to impact the river, the flow of the river can be changed. In this universe, both humans and gods are already in the river, and only Aluka is not from this universe, so he can change his fate. But what's the point of changing fate? Aluka has always been puzzled, and now he has some ideas.
The destruction and birth of this universe is an endless cycle, and the creatures born from this universe, no matter how powerful they are, cannot change this cycle. Only Aluca, an outsider, has the ability to change, and the gods may want to free the universe from the cycle of inevitable destruction, so they know that Aluka is hostile to the gods, and they have never killed Aluca.
The question arises again, who brought Aluka to this universe? There are more than seven billion people on the earth, if the gods have the ability to pull people from another universe, why did they choose Aluca? What is so special about him? Judging from the tone of Daddy Edward, it may be the three goddesses of fate who summoned Aluca. However, Ainos's attitude is also very ambiguous, as if he is helping Aluca, and as if he is using Aluca, who believes in human nature and is always hostile to Aluca, who has never met. If he had known that he and Ainos looked almost identical, he might have guessed a little more, but unfortunately he didn't.
One question leads to another, and Aruka has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and has not delved into it. The most important thing in front of him now was that Sinong might be trapped in the White Tower Castle for some reason. Since there is more variable than him this time, he will naturally find a way to save Xinong, but first he has to leave the mirror plane, how to leave? Take one step at a time, Aluca's character never makes long-term plans, and he is the spokesperson of the derogatory term "rat-eyed inch".
"Sword in hand, follow me!Let's move forward!" Arouca imitated Napoleon's sword and beckoned Dalton to clear the way, without the slightest thought of hitting the striker.
Dalton said disdainfully, "There is no sword, and you are coming with me, you know that you are abusing child labor?" Having said that, he walked in front of Aluca, ready to pass through the right door through the next hall.
"Wait!" Arouca abruptly interrupted his attempt to open the door.
Dalton was frightened, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" Uncle, don't scare me, I have a bad heart. After saying that, he opened the cuirass to reveal a beating heart to prove it.
This bad taste was apparently learned from Aluca, but Aruka ignored him, instead scanning the room in confusion and muttering, "Something is wrong...... What's wrong...... Dalton, do you find this castle a little strange?"
Dalton pondered for a moment and replied, "It seems to me that not having a window is the strangest thing. But to hear you say that, this castle seems to be missing something. ”
Neither of them was a nobleman, but they had both been to the castle, and their half-familiarity caused them to notice something strange, but they couldn't think of what was wrong. After a long time, Aluca clapped his hands and said, "I see! ”
The castle of the nobility was required to hang portraits according to the ritual law, not for decorative purposes, but to remind future generations of the contributions made by their ancestors to the family. The hairstyle, dress, posture, and expression of the portrait are all different, and the real nobles know what the title of the owner of the portrait is when they look at the portrait. If a portrait of a duke could be hung in the castle, the whole family would be honored. Even if it is a new aristocracy, there are not so many portraits to hang, and they must collect all kinds of oil paintings to fill the scene, otherwise they will be looked down upon. If you are regarded as an upstart in the aristocratic circle, you will be sentenced to death.
For the aristocracy, having money was important, but not the most important. A nobleman who sells jewelry, even if the family is rich and rivals the country, is a small dish in the eyes of the big nobles, and what determines the strength of a family is power and heritage. In the case of Reeves Julian, whom they met in Aluca, the Julian family could make the Emperor fearful, not by a mountain of gold coins, although they did, by controlling the entire North Sea fishing industry. Annoying the Julian family, it can create millions of victims for the Hill Empire in a few months, and this is a consequence that no one can afford. And the development of the Julian family to this day is no longer under the control of the emperor, and if you want to get rid of the Julian family, the price you pay may be greater than the current southern expedition of the empire.
Correspondingly, the great nobles of the Rhine Kingdom either have minerals, private soldiers, or forest farms, and they will not rely on money to rise to power. Money can buy mercenaries, but not every mercenary has the strength of Xinong, at most it is at the level of Aluca, fighting the regular army to the death. There are several principles in the mercenary world, the two most important are that they cannot be blackmailed to their employers, and second, they must not provoke the court, otherwise they are not mercenaries but killers. There are no private soldiers, no mercenaries can be hired, and no matter how rich the nobles are, they are fish and meat on someone else's cutting board. In this day and age, whoever has the big fist speaks, and it is useless to talk about the law.
