Chapter 10: Between the Ends
When I turned my head again, the image in front of me changed again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in the empty white light appeared countless rows of double-vented wardrobes more than one person high, and in front of these wardrobes was a mahogany desk.
This mahogany desk is thick and sturdy, with bright colors and exquisite workmanship, which makes people feel elegant and noble at first glance. On the right side of the desk was an oil lamp, apparently it had no chance of lighting in the cold, white light of the space, and on the left was a dozen books stacked on top of each other. Behind the desk sat an old man, wearing monocles, his thick, silky white hair hanging down to his shoulders and his face wrinkled. But anyone who sees him will only feel that he is full of vitality, and he is by no means an old man in his twilight.
At this time, the old man stood on the table with his hands folded, and his deep blue eyes looked at Aluca's group, and when he saw that they did not answer his question, he said again: "It seems that you don't know what's going on, maybe the three goddesses of fate have made a little joke again." ”
The people of Aluka glanced at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Xinong's body. Xinong's temperament and appearance were simply born for public relations, and he was a person who was willing to show off, so he took a few steps forward with fear and anxiety, and asked loudly: "Old man, are you a servant of the sun god?"
How many gods exist in the St. Ainos continent is still unknown. But after so many years of theological research, there is still a unified view of the hierarchy of the divine realm. The highest position is naturally the main god such as the sun god, and below the main god there are sub-gods, god seats, and god servants, and in the human world, there are demigods and gods. Among them, all the priests who belong to a certain sect can be called gods, but the sect divides the human hierarchy according to its own traditions, such as high priests, royal priests, popes, and so on. However, theologians generally believe that the priests' own hierarchy is not recognized by the gods. That is, if the sun god really exists, the Pope is equal to the gray-clad priests of the lowest rank of the Red Cult in His eyes.
In Xinong's opinion, as a sub-god and a god seat, he naturally would not be left by the sun god as the guardian of the god's residence, so the old man in front of him was obviously a servant of the sun god. After hearing Xinong's words, the old man couldn't help laughing and said, "The sun god wants to take me as a servant, I'm afraid I can't do it." I admit that in terms of strength alone, he is considered a strong person in the divine realm, but compared to me, his power is still a little weaker. ”
When Henry heard that the old man in front of him was disrespectful to the sun god, he was very unhappy. But instead of being as stupid as Sir Bright, who knew that the situation was unfavorable and wanted to die, he respectfully asked, "Who are you, then?
The old man smiled slightly: "I understand your human obsessions, and you always need a title, otherwise you will be terrified, as if you can understand everything if you know the name." If you need a god name, call me the god of time and space. And the place where you are now is called the Last Place. This is the end of time and the beginning of space, but please don't ask me questions about this, I won't answer you, and you won't understand the answers. ”
The group looked at each other, but they didn't expect this old man to really say that he was a god, and his name was quite big. But they didn't believe it much, because they didn't feel the majesty of a god in this old man. As mercenaries, the Alucas are more sensitive to their instincts on this point. But those who have achieved success in certain fields will have the power to rise above others. For example, if the head of the Knights of the Burning Sun of the Rhine Kingdom stood in front of a small mercenary who did not enter the stream, this little mercenary might not even have the courage to draw his sword, and would be paralyzed directly on the ground in fright.
After thinking for a moment, Master Henry said, "With all due respect, Your Excellency. As far as I know, the Lord God is supposed to be disembodied, and from your name, it is clear that it is a Lord God...... Although I have not heard of a denomination that has anything to do with time or space. ”
The old man replied with a smile, "Son, I am everywhere. Can you see the flow of time? Can you see the change of space? What you see is only one of my countless incarnations, so it's easier to communicate with you. To me, every incarnation is me and not me, and if you like, you can call me Edward. Unlike other gods, I don't have any followers on earth, and you don't need to be respectful to me. I think you've seen it too, I'm the only old guy in the end, and I'm very bored, and I'm glad to have you to talk to me. ”
Since the head of the explanation is the Tao, the group has nothing to say. Trihack laughed and said, "Old Edward, I like your character. I'd like to talk to you, too, but we're going to complete a head-scratching mission right now. Since you are the god of time and space, can you tell us how to get out of here and how we got here?"
In order to explain clearly, Sinong also said: "Mr. Edward, we have found the residence of the great sun god according to the record in an ancient book. When you carved a magic symbol to open the passage, you came here for some reason, do you know why?"
"Oh, the Helios Residence, you're in luck, I think there's something in it that would be useful for humans. Edward rubbed his forehead and said, "But I'm afraid your luck has run out in this matter." It stands to reason that after opening the passage, you will be transported to a small plane left by the Sun God, but due to the mischief of the three goddesses of fate, the space is disordered, and you are teleported here. ”
Hearing Edward's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that as long as you can get out of here, there will be no problem in completing the mission.
Despite being very concerned about Edward's three goddesses of fate, Trehack asked pointedly, "We're only concerned about getting out of here now, and if you're the manager here, you should be able to do it." Of course, it's best to drop us off at the Sun God's residence. ”
Edward shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't." In my opinion...... With a few of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out, and you're not far from death. ”
Since Edward had never shown any hostility and was no different from a human, the group regarded him as a friendly gentleman. It was only at this moment that they remembered that this guy claimed to be a god, and that the god obviously had no mercy for humans. Or is that analogy, do humans have mercy on ants? uh...... Maybe the monks will, sweeping the floor is afraid of hurting the lives of ants. But the average person certainly not, and it is even more unlikely that Buddhism exists on the continent of St. Ainos.
Unequivocal, Trihaq rushed forward in a few steps, and drove the sword to Edward's neck with indescribable speed, so that the others could not even see his movements. He grimaced and said, "I have no choice, old Edward, we must get out of here. Otherwise, even if you were a god, I would try to cut your head off. ”
Edward glanced at Trihack with a slight discoloration, but he was obviously not afraid, and he said, "Maybe I should change my words, I didn't expect that you have the blood of the sun god in your body, so you still have a chance to get out of here." But there is no point in threatening me, humanity can never hurt me. ”
As he spoke, Edward reached out two fingers and pinched the tip of Trihac's sword. Trehack only felt a terrifying force condensed there, and he mustered all the strength of his body, and the blue veins on his forehead flashed, but he still couldn't make the sword move in the slightest. Then he saw Edward move his sword towards his own neck. The tip of the sword passed through Edward's neck as if it were through air, without a ripple. But the two fingers pinched on the tip of the sword are so real, what kind of divine power is this!
Compared with the terrifying power of destroying the world and reclaiming mountains in the legends of other gods, this Edward's strength is not inferior at all, and even more powerful and weird. How do you defeat an opponent who can't beat you, and that opponent can still beat you......
"Remember, I'm the god of time and space. I can make anything belong to different spaces if I want to. Edward smiled, "And I want you to remember that I am your friend, not your enemy." What keeps you here is the Finale, and I'm just a manager and can't change the rules of the Final. After all, what reason do I have against you? To put it mildly, you're just mortals, and I don't need anything from you. ”
At this time, Aluca, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "In other words, there is indeed a way to get out of here, but you think we can't do it." I hope you can tell us about this method. Whether we can do it or not is our business, whether we say it or not. ”
"Hehe, even if you don't ask, I'll tell you, it's my duty. As he spoke, Edward pointed to a large wardrobe behind him, "Each person picks a wardrobe and opens it, and there is a ring in it." Put that ring on and you'll understand everything. ”
The weirdness of this place is beyond everyone's imagination, and Edward's strength also makes them uneasy. At last it was Sinon who plucked up the courage and said, "Since we have no other way, let's do as Mr. Edward says." If he wanted to kill us, it would have been easy, so I don't think he had to lie to us. ”
Some people took the lead, and the other people's psychological barriers were much smaller, and even Henry National Master did not oppose Xinong. Soon, everyone picked their own wardrobe. Out of fear of trouble, Aluca chose the closest wardrobe to her. When he opened it, he found that there was still an endless white light in the closet, and a ring floated in the white light.
As soon as he felt his mind move, the ring flew towards him and landed in his hand. Up close, the ring is simple in style, without any patterns or ornaments, and has a texture similar to that of black iron, smooth and warm to the touch. On the inside of the ring are engraved four numbers: 9227.
His heart was filled with curiosity, excitement, fear, and unease, but he didn't hesitate to put on the ring. Aluca had a hunch that the ring would open the door to a new world for him.
In an instant, a line of words appeared in front of his eyes, just like those holographic images in the science fiction movies he had seen in his previous life.
