Chapter 61: The Old Man
readx;
Light and darkness are relative adjectives, and human beings often like to classify what they can see and understand as light, and what they can't see and don't understand are collectively called darkness.

For a slave laborer who spent his life cleaning up filth in the sewers, his whole life was shrouded in darkness, and he would never know what it would be like to see a street full of warm sunshine just twenty meters away in a straight line above his head
There is also a kind of person who is completely different from his status, but whose circumstances are very similar, is called a scholar.
This is an era of ignorance, and human civilization has just emerged from the bloody atmosphere of the barbaric era and has begun to develop rapidly on this continent. They think they have become the overlords of the earth, but the world is so vast. They have learned order, but this is only the most basic law of this world.
Most people spend their lives toiling aimlessly, but occasionally there are some unusual people who stop and look up at the stars, and they are surprised to find that the stars in the sky are so far from the ground.
The tragedy of scholars is that the more they learn about the world, the more they discover their ignorance.
Of course...... Nor is this sadness something that ordinary people can understand.
As an illiterate country turtle who had never studied formally and had not even fully mastered the written lingua franca, Er said that he could not understand the academic 'sexuality' issues discussed by the two scholars around him.
If he and Lolana were alone, in order to take care of his IQ, the young 'girl' would generally condense those advanced and complex knowledge into three words that ordinary people could understand. But when she and Gao Wen, who is also knowledgeable, begin to 'communicate', although every word they say is a lingua franca, when they are connected, it seems to become another unfamiliar language.
"It is impossible for ancient humans to master such advanced 'sophisticated' space technology, and in the era you guessed, this was still a wild place, and there was no fire at all. β
"If you have read the "Medieval Chronicles", you should understand that the so-called wild land is actually just a relative definition created by human beings. Judging by written standards, the Emerald Sea where the 'spirit' spirit is located should also be defined as a wild land. In fact, according to the historical records within the Truth Society. A high civilization was born here before humans set foot here. Marshmallow"
"According to Cricks' theory of the evolution of civilization, it is impossible for terrestrial races to develop space technology in the first place, because we simply do not have the survival needs of the relevant aspects. On the other hand, an astral race like the Danariel has sufficient demand for space exploration, and there will be relevant evolution. That's why you're choosing their legacy instead of the Dwarven Prospector now. β
"But now, as you can see
γ Their detection instruments didn't react at all, which made me suspicious. Someone has used magic I don't know to cover up the truth here. β
"No magic can erase the very existence of 'space' itself, etc...... But it's impossible, no one can modify the time dimension, not even a god!"
"Is there any other plausible explanation?"
"Maybe it's the endless 'labyrinth'......"
"Maybe you're all overthinking it, but there's really nothing here?"
The casual words made the two scholars, who were immersed in mysterious knowledge, turn their heads in unison, and under the strange gaze of the two, El couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. "I'm just kidding. β
"Do I look like an idiot?" Gawain said in a cold voice with a calm face, "Or do you think both of us are idiots?"
yes, that's what I thought. El said in his heart that of course he didn't mind 'reviving' his heart to Gawain, but considering Lorana's mood, he wisely spread his hands and took a step back.
"Maybe he's right, we're wasting time. Lolana gave El a deep look, then looked back noncommittally and said, "Mr. Gawain." The premise of our discussion is based on your own theory, not on a theory that has already been proven. Are you sure there is nothing missing from this premise?"
"I pay to listen to your advice rather than question it, Miss Lorana. Gawain said unhappily.
While the two of them continued to devote their 'essence' to the theoretical discussion, El slipped into the corner next to him as if he had nothing to do.
Of course, there is nothing here, otherwise it would not have been possible to get the unanimous attention of the two senior scholars. From its own point of view, this space appears to be an underground crack extending from beneath the dungeon. But if you look at it from the opposite side. It would be more accurate to say that it is a dark abyss close to the dungeon.
The position of the three people is not the mouth of the 'hole', but a narrow platform on the cliff face, and beyond the platform is an extremely large 'hole' and 'hole' that can even fit the castle on the ground from the volume of visual inspection. And underneath this 'hole' and 'hole' is a truly bottomless darkness
Not even with the power of El's True Eye, he could not reach the true underground. He took a forged steel arrow from behind his back, threw it tentatively, and listened intently for several minutes, without even a single echo.
On a normal level, there is no doubt that there is nothing here. But El knew that it was just an illusion due to cognitive limitations.
There is something in this place, and the only thing that exists - and that is darkness itself.
In the cognition of ordinary people, darkness is an adjective, and for some less ordinary people, it is a noun. The difference between the two is that the former is indescribable.
The gods in the eyes of mortals are omniscient and omnipotent, so they willingly dedicate their faith and pin their hopes in life on the gifts of the gods. However, those who are truly strong have reservations about the attitude of the gods, and they have already glimpsed the reality of the world, and know that the priesthood of the gods is the embodiment of the laws of their respective worlds.
It is certainly impossible for Eel's scholarship to describe the existence of darkness, but he has traveled with the chosen people of the sun god and witnessed the existence of so-called "light" with his own eyes.
Since ancient times, light and shadow have gone hand in hand. When you have an understanding of light, you will not be unfamiliar with darkness. Words could not be put into words, but El could clearly feel that there was the deepest darkness here.
Gawain and Lolana may not have such sharp intuition, but they prefer to use theory and data to make arguments. Such a deep and serene darkness could never have arisen naturally, does that mean that there is a secret hidden in this darkness?
As for what the secrets were, that was something Gawain needed to be concerned about, and as he had said before, whatever lofty secrets were hidden in it meant nothing to El and the exiles. What they need is not wealth, but hope for the future.
Of course, if there is a treasure that can bring the dead back to life...... If there was such a thing, it might have alarmed the Grim Reaper to come down to the world himself, maybe?" thought to himself.
"The resurrection of the dead is not impossible to do......"
The sudden sound that appeared in his ears frightened El suddenly tensed the muscles and flesh of his whole body, and he almost stepped on the outside of the cliff. He subconsciously grasped the wind mark on his waist, but stopped the moment he touched the weapon.
It suddenly occurred to him that the voice seemed familiar
"Aren't you dead?" said El through gritted teeth as he stared at the aristocratic young man who appeared in front of him.
"Of course I'm dead, and I've been dead for a long time. "The aristocratic young man who appeared out of thin air still looked annoying, and he 'showed' a flirtatious smile at El.
As he spoke, El glanced out of the corner of his eye at the two men standing beside him, only to find that they were still in the midst of a heated discussion, seemingly unaware of the change.
"Obviously, you've got a piece of my legacy. The young man looked at El's fingers, and a hint of heaviness flashed in his eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, this means that Sword Castle ...... It doesn't exist anymore. β
"You don't know?" El looked at the aristocratic young man he was familiar with suspiciously, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"As you know, I should have left this world a long time ago, and what remained here was just a projection of me. Although you should have met with me once, now that we meet again, it is not impossible to introduce ourselves again. β
The aristocratic young man raised his right hand and put it on his chest, bowed slightly and saluted: "I used to be a sword saint in Xia, but the name of the fallen leaves has never been passed on to the world. The other layer of identity that resides here is the grave keeper of the Truth Society, you can call meβ"
"Cyprus!" said El hatefully.
"No, that's not the full name...... Cypriot raised his eyebrows to defend himself, but when he saw El's darkened face, he smiled dryly: "Of course you can call me that, we are old 'friends', right?"
"I don't have a 'relationship' with you. El said embarrassedly, "What the hell are you doing?"
"That's a long story, my friend. Cyprus laughed, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. El's eyes suddenly lit up, and the sudden light made him blink, only to find that the darkness around him had vanished when he opened it again.
The seemingly bottomless abyss was gone, replaced by a huge hall, the same dungeon he had seen when he came.
