Chapter 12 The Problem of the Galaxy
Hongqiao is a bridge connecting the divine realm and the human world in mythology. These years have made Xinghe a much earlier than the average child, so that he will not believe in myths as easily as ordinary children. Therefore, in his opinion, Hongqiao is just a fiction in mythological stories, "Hongqiao really exists, isn't that fictional in mythological stories?"
"Isn't it the point of magic to bring legends to life?" a gentle but old voice came from under the platform, and out of a branch of leaves stepped a humanoid creature, his characteristic skin texture blending in perfectly with the environment around him.
"The All-Knowing. Sophia respectfully confirmed the idea of the galaxy, and the strangely shaped creature in front of her was one of the world's most famous legends, the last Uluto, the All-Knowing Maruzate.
Maruzat observed everyone with his eyes that were like jewels of Urutot, and when his gaze wandered to Rong Ruo, he asked with a smile: "Little friend, we met again, how are you getting along with our little goblin friend?"
Rong Ruo's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and she carefully grabbed Pixar, who was still sleeping, from her jacket pocket, and trotted to Maluzart, "Grandpa Maruzart, the last time I went back to the capital, Pixar almost died to save me, so I had to let it become my 'demon', but his appearance has changed a lot, can you see if he has any hidden dangers?"
"It's true that it's changed a lot, and the average goblin doesn't have such dark skin. Maruzat reached out a finger and tapped Pixar's head, and the leprechaun stretched and looked around a little confused, "But don't you ask about yourself?"
Xinghe noticed a different brilliance in Sophia's eyes, but Rong Ruo herself shook her head, "I want to know about Pixar, please tell me." ”
Maruzat retracted his finger, "Pixar is healthy, but if you want to ask him if the changes that happened to him are good or bad, I can't say for sure, his changes will definitely make it difficult for him to fit in, but on the other hand, the leprechaun is very adaptable to the environment, and Pixar overcomes this, there is no doubt that he can explore a much wider world than his brothers and sisters." ”
After hearing this answer, Rong Ruo looked down thoughtfully at Pixar, who was scratching his head in the palm of his hand, as if he had forgotten about his own affairs. But Xinghe didn't, he had already accepted a lot of affection from the other party since he had known Rong Ruo for so long, so he asked for her, "What about Rong Ruo, is it possible that her spell casting ability will come back?"
Sophia gave him a grateful look, while Maruzat smiled and looked down at the girl in front of her, "So what do you think, are you struggling with those lost powers?"
Rong Ruo focused her attention from the Pixar in her palm to this question, she thought for a while, and shook her head a little confused, "At first, I felt very distressed, but now I don't seem to care so much." ”
"What belongs to you won't disappear, it's just that you won't need it for the time being, you just need to follow your feelings, after all, the demon spirit is actually a very emotional creature. Although Maruzat was really comforting Rong Ruo, Xinghe felt that he glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally when he said the word demon spirit.
Xinghe looked at Maruzat uncertainly. He knew that the person in front of him was called the all-knowing all-knowing, and he had even discussed him with Ye Zhiqiu in the study a few days ago. If he is really as omniscient as rumored, then has he already seen the truth about himself and Arazuki hiding under the phantom?
The crowd around him didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and he walked down a plank path hidden between the dense branches and leaves to descend the platform where the rainbow bridge landed. Xinghe doesn't know where this is the Elven River, but it is the middle of winter, and the branches and leaves on the trunks of the surrounding trees are still green, and the only one who can ignore the power of nature is the Pale Tree.
Sure enough, after a section of the plank road, the surroundings suddenly opened up, no longer covered by branches, and the blue sky appeared in their sight, and looking down, they could see a vibrant metropolis, with several canals passing through the city and merging into an endless sea of small stars.
I've guessed a few, but it's a different feeling to actually find yourself in the canopy of the Pale Tree. Everyone couldn't help but stop again, holding on to the railing of the plank road, looking at this rare grand scene.
Maruzat was not in a hurry, and stopped to wait for everyone to see enough. On the contrary, Rong Ruo couldn't help but urge after only standing for a while: "There will be a chance to come and see it in the future, we are in a hurry now!"
Xinghe didn't believe this, this is the canopy of the Pale Tree, and it is obviously not a place where ordinary people can come and go casually, and it is absolutely unrealistic to want to climb here at any time to look at this metropolis.
Having said that, no one said anything, and a few children reluctantly withdrew their gaze and followed the group. Maruzat smiled and continued to lead the way, not down the branches of the Pale Tree as the galaxy had expected, but at a door that was attached to the trunk.
Maruzat opened the wooden door first, then sideways to avoid it, allowing everyone to go first. Rong Ruo walked in first with Pixar, and Lan Yue and the others followed in turn. Xinghe was originally following Lan Yue, but when he took a step, something seemed to pull him, and he raised his head with some confusion, and inadvertently met Maruzat's gaze.
Xinghe slowed down knowingly, landing at the back of the line, not rushing to step through the door. In just a moment, Anton and the others all walked through the door, and only Maruzat was left on the boardwalk.
"Lord All-Knowing, is there anything wrong with you?" Xinghe hesitated, worried, and excited, after all, Maruzat was one of the living legends in the world, and many people dreamed of asking him to solve their doubts.
Maruzat looked at him kindly, as if he were looking at his own junior, "Compared to your father, you are very good. ”
Xinghe was startled, a little unable to believe what he had just heard, so far, the only old acquaintance he had met with He Dong was his uncle Ye Zhiqiu, but the latter obviously only knew a little about his family background, but from the tone of Maruzat, he seemed to know He Dong very well, "You know my father?"
Maruza nodded, "It's just a plain relationship, barely acquainted, not too familiar." ”
"Then do you know my mother?" Xinghe felt that the doubts he had been in for a long time had finally broken through, yes, if the person in front of him was really as omniscient as rumored, then he must know something about his somewhat confusing life experience.
"Yes, I know, Tina is a beautiful lady. Maruzat replied.
Xinghe's breathing involuntarily shortened, "Can you tell me about her?'s parents, and the feud between them and Sheng, I want to know all this." ”
However, in the face of Xinghe's expectant eyes, Maruzat did not answer this question as he wished, "If you want to take, you must give first, and the principle of equal exchange, do you understand?"
Xinghe seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water from head to toe, and his hot mood suddenly dropped to the freezing point, there is no free lunch in the world, Xinghe knows this truth, Maruzat is not related to him, and he believes that he has no obligation to solve his doubts, he calmly asked: "What price should I pay." ”
Maruzat laughed as if he had heard something funny. Xinghe didn't know what he had done to make the other party laugh, and he unconsciously felt a little empty in his heart, but the answer to the question that had plagued him for so long was now in front of him, and he could only face the other party's gaze with a hard head, "Lord All-Knowing, this question is really important to me, no matter what the requirements are, I will work hard to complete it." ”
These words added fuel to the fire, which made Maruzat laugh even more, "You are really much more interesting than Hodon." He paused, "Don't just talk about these things at a young age, do you think you can have something in you that makes my heart move?"
Xinghe was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, but after calming down, he thought about it carefully, what Maruzat said was not wrong, he was known to the whole world as an omniscient being, and he was only a half-old child, so what qualifications did he have to negotiate with the other party, "Then my question?"
"Equivalent exchange, this principle will not change, but it will not cost you anything. Maruzat said, looking down at the galaxy, "One question for another." ”
"Question?" Xinghe was a little surprised, the other party was an omniscient who claimed to be omniscient, so what questions did he need to answer?
Without giving him time to think, Maruzat asked, "What do you think of the world?"
Xinghe's whole person fell into a state of panic all of a sudden, and subconsciously wanted to answer, but the moment he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of a very serious matter, "What if my answer can't satisfy you?"
Then I'm afraid my answer will displease you as well. Maruzat said.
The "I" answer made Xinghe feel even more stressed, and he thought for a long time, and finally realized that he couldn't answer the question.
His embarrassment fell into Maruzat's eyes at all, "It doesn't matter if you can't answer now, it's not too late to come to me when you figure it out." ”
"Then my question," Xinghe asked.
"Naturally, I'll answer you when you answer. Maruzat replied decisively.
Xinghe still wanted to bargain, but the other party spoke first: "We have spent a lot of time here, and if we continue to spend it, I'm afraid your friends will be a little displeased." ”
After that, Maruzat couldn't help Xinghe to argue anything, and walked directly into the door on the trunk, although Xinghe was unwilling, but he had no choice but to follow.
