Chapter 300: Two into one
With Theseus' description, the special life forms that once flourished in the oceans of distant times gradually became concrete.
"I have told you more than once that when you want to try to recognize these strange and distant things, it is best not to habitually use the common sense of your past or apply what you already know...... It's very inappropriate. ”
Faced with another reminder from Theseus, Hug nodded in agreement.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I'm curious about one thing, why in that era, there was such a high degree of convergence between these creatures and clans that were enough to form a race?" They don't necessarily belong to the ocean, but they all have similarities with the 'community' of the 'color of life', what is the reason for this? ”
"It's a very academic question......
Theseus's countenance fluctuated slowly, and he replied: "If I want to answer this question in detail, I am afraid that I must list a series of reasons such as 'one, two, three, four, five', but this kind of conclusion is not of great practical significance. ”
"In my opinion, there is really only one main reason for all this."
Theseus raised a finger, and a large amount of mist emerged, forming a miniature black sun above it.
At this moment, despite being in the dream shelter, Xiuge still inevitably felt a trace of cold to the bone.
Theseus's voice came slowly in the cold.
"Under the watchful eye of the Black Sun, the races and life in any world must have survival and survival as their primary goal, and to achieve this goal, they must ensure that they have sufficient strength, or choose to merge with those already powerful forces."
"And that's the essence of the clans, and the groups that are made up of the clans."
"The roots of fate, the walking forests, and the rats who follow Mother Earth, or the mutilated heirs of the Abyss court...... They can all be seen as representatives, but it is still the 'community' in the ocean that truly becomes completely integrated and fully embraces the will of the gods. ”
Shuge frowned, being able to get such an evaluation from a strange-looking being like Theseus was enough to prove the particularity of those "marine communities", so he asked, "Is this particularity of theirs entirely derived from the aforementioned 'Colour of Life'?" They have reappeared after so long of being gone, because the 'Colour of Life' is starting to re-converge? Or...... Are they reawakened by the black sun? ”
"Since the successful expulsion of Charon, the 'Rays of Life' in the Boundless Sea have been completely free from the control of the will of the gods, and they have been evenly dispersed throughout the ocean, and have begun to evolve with the communities that were once united by the same faith."
Theseus explained slowly: "In the past, I have discussed the relationship between Carlon and the 'Color of Life' with the 'Mentor' more than once, and at first we thought that the Color of Life was a concrete manifestation of the power of the god of the sea, and that the two should be one and the same...... But after the expulsion of Charon, we found out that their relationship was not like that. ”
Although Theseus's face was still chaotic at this time, Shuge could feel an inexplicable solemnity from the fog.
"The one that has been successfully expelled seems to be only a void will, and the so-called Calon is in fact very likely the condensed expression of countless 'Colors of Life', whose power has always existed, and is even a part of the ocean at all...... So I don't think it's really dead, and it's never really gone. ”
"I'm afraid I can't give you an exact answer to this question, but from my own point of view, I think that the so-called 'communities' that have begun to recover and operate will inevitably become a major threat to you."
With Theseus's words, the colors of life that were bound in the transparent jar began to change their colors again, as if they had been affected, and they seemed more brilliant and strange than before.
"However, you have experienced first-hand ...... 'Colour of Life' is not only a source of threat, but also a resource and power that can be harnessed."
Theseus snapped his fingers, and the transparent jar returned to its original state, and then he picked up the can of "drink" processed from "Color of Life", and took two sips slowly: "However, the choice is up to you whether to remove the 'Color of Life' as a trouble, or to find a way to understand and refine it...... Or rather, it's all about these 'masters' of Vann today. ”
Hearing this, Xiuge nodded silently.
Compared to the past, the hints and information given by Theseus this time were already very important and detailed, at least Shug was able to clearly understand the existence of the special power of the "Colors of Life", and also learned about their connection to the "community" that the strange fish said, which was definitely an extremely important guide for the inhabitants of Van En who were still in the fog.
After successfully digesting the information, Shuge then asked, "So, about the so-called 'colony'......"
"In the past, the word could have been used to symbolize great danger and trouble, but now it is different."
Theseus let out two strange laughs: "It is very difficult to regather the 'Colors of Life' scattered throughout the ocean, so even if the 'colonies' have begun to appear, their size and speed of development are bound to be very limited...... And with the weapons that Van En has today, it's enough to pose enough threats to these guys. ”
"They are the ones who should be scared."
Theseus's explanation relieved Hug from the bottom of his heart.
His greatest fear now is that countries and organizations will begin to be forced to face new powerful enemies in the absence of a new consensus and the situation in Van En remains volatile.
Nowadays, the will and attitude of the rulers of various countries are unknown, and no one knows whether they will join the camp of the Black Sun Association in order to relieve their own pressure in the face of sudden and huge pressure.
Later, Shug asked some detailed questions about the "Color of Life" and the "Community", and only after Theseus began to get a little impatient did he get ready to leave.
"By the way, this thing...... Can I take some with me? ”
Before leaving, Xiuge carefully pointed to the "drink" placed on the table.
Seeing this, Theseus sneered, he turned to the computer screen again, and waved his hand casually: "You can take it if you want, but the number of others is limited, even if it is me, there is no way to use these things as water all day long." ”
Hug was deeply skeptical of these claims of Theseus.
However, since the other party had agreed, Xiuge was naturally too lazy to be polite, he quickly picked up the two cans, and was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Theseus remind: "By the way, the child you saved casually before...... This stuff also helps a lot of it. ”
"But remember, pay attention to the dosage, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
……
By the time Shuge left the dream and woke up, it was already four o'clock in the morning.
In the past, the port was already busy at this point in time, and fishermen would always set out at this point in time, especially some fishermen who needed to catch special fish in the offshore waters, but today the port is extremely quiet, looking out from the cabin, Xiuge can only see the lights of the sentry and the patrol soldiers of the Dawn Society.
The news of the strange fish caught at the pier at night yesterday and the strange situation in the offshore during this time have made the vast majority of fishermen begin to be alert, although it is extremely important to earn income from fishing, if you can't catch fish, you may also take a small life for it, then it is completely uncommitted.
Even so, Shug could still see the lights moving slowly near some of the docks in the distance.
Those were small boats, and a maximum of three or four people could be carried on one boat.
Clearly, there are still a very small number of fishermen who are skeptical of recent rumors, for whom making ends meet is always the most important task.
For these people, Xiuge can only wish them good luck.
Shug took out the jug containing "Justina" and placed it on the table along with the two cans of "Ray of Life" that had been brought out of the dream shelter.
After leaving the dream shelter, the original "can" with a large number of strange patterns and words has also changed its appearance, under the influence of Theseus's power, both cans have turned into translucent glass bottles, which look no different from ordinary alchemy containers, through the transparent glass walls, Xiuge can see the bright light and shadow in it.
That's the rhythm of life.
As for the "Justina" that he rescued from the city of Seren, Xiuge still lacks a clear plan to deal with it, and through the illusion hints provided by the previous Root of Fate, Xiuge can be sure that this special creation that combines the will of humanity and the power of the Descendants of the Abyss will will be able to have a more complex future, and in time, it will even be able to regain the silhouette and appearance of a human being, and once again walk in the Van'en.
But how exactly should this be achieved, and how should it be ensured that the human will is dominant in this particular creation?
Hug didn't know anything about it.
He unscrewed the kettle and shook it slightly, and soon the soft, clear black shadow slowly squeezed out of the kettle.
"Justina" was probably resting before, and when it was forcibly woken up by Xiuge, it appeared to be extremely sleepy, not only very sluggish, but also limply lying on its stomach as a whole, barely getting out of the kettle, and then collapsed directly on the table.
This sloppy appearance made Xiuge couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shug turned the kettle upside down, and some of the fragments and debris of the magic crystals fell from its interior, which were the product of "Justina's" ingestion, and the magic inside them had been completely absorbed, indicating that "Justina's" need for magic was indeed not low, at least much higher than that of ordinary mage apprentices.
Seeing that "Justina" was always a lazy picture, Xiuge had no choice but to reach out and take a bottle of "Luster of Life", and "Justina" noticed this wonderful existence as a matter of course, so its body that was spread out into a round cake immediately reunited into a sphere, and it squirmed twice, came to the edge of the glass bottle, and quickly turned around twice.
A series of intense emotions of doubt and curiosity entered Shogo's mind through a magical connection.
"What is this?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"Can you eat it?"
"Let me see!"
This kind of little girl-like expression of emotions made Xiuge quite helpless, so he conveniently set up several ritual arenas nearby that could isolate the fluctuations of magical power, and then carefully opened the glass jar.
As a result, strong magical fluctuations erupted, and even the ritual field set up by Xiuge trembled in this violent fluctuation, and the "Justina" who stayed next to the tank became even more active, its round body began to tremble, and the translucent body that was originally dominated by black also seemed to be affected by the "color of life" and began to slowly change color.
Shuge picked up the glass jar, he stared at the small shadow in front of him who regarded himself as his father, and asked softly, "Do you want to taste it?" But I can only give you a little bit. ”
This is actually complete nonsense.
Because the moment Huge threw out the question, all kinds of emotional fragments used to express affirmation were instilled, and at the same time, "Justina" even stuck directly to Shuge's hand, and began to touch and rub Xiuge's palm with her soft translucent body like a real pet.
This scenario is somewhat subtle.
You know, not long ago, the real Justina was standing in front of Justina and talking to him, although Justina didn't know much about him, but he also knew that this was actually a tenacious, brave and sacrificial magician.
Even if she later chose to merge with the Descendants of the Abyss, this will was not lost......
But now......
Xiuge looked at the small creature that "hugged" the fingers of his left hand and refused to let go, and sighed with some headache.
But a headache is a headache, and what needs to be done still has to be done.
He turned his left hand to gently grasp the soft shadow, then picked up the glass jar with his right hand and tilted it slowly.
The "color of life", which was indistinguishable from the liquid form, flowed down from the mouth of the can, and the crystalline, shining blue light and shadow dragged a beautiful straight line in mid-air, and finally fell to the body of "Justina".
The moment the two come into contact, a miraculous reaction ensues.
The little creature began to tremble violently, the soft silhouette of its body changed, and the colors it possessed began to become rich and brilliant.
At this moment, Xiuge seemed to see oil paint splashed into the water.
It's like witnessing the starry sky in a mirror.
