Chapter 281: Symbolism
According to the female elves, the golden apple was a gift from the elven king to the land, and those who ate it were able to gain supernatural powers.
This kind of transcendent power was originally uncultivateable, and it had been fixed from the moment it ate the golden apple, but the golden apple had been passed down for too many years, and there were too many elves who had eaten the golden apple.
As a result, there are always those gifted elves who not only gain extraordinary power, but also gradually use this power skillfully, enhance it, and even comprehend other extraordinary powers one day in the future.
Lewis became more and more curious about the existence of the golden apple, and as we all know, the power of potions cannot be enhanced.
When you drink a potion, there is so much power in it, and you can only become more and more proficient through subsequent development and mastery.
The Golden Apple, on the other hand, is not only a way to gain extraordinary strength, but also to make progress through acquired training, as if it can be cultivated.
"There are no desecration tablets in the Western Continent, and their way of obtaining transcendent power may be different from ours, and the search for the golden apple is an attempt for me to understand the transcendent system of the Western Continent."
Thinking of this, Lewis decided to stay in the tribe of the elves for a while, until he took a look at the golden apple that was born.
The elf seemed to be in a good mood, and she said that she would prepare a feast for Lewis, and then went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
"Mr. Lewis, breakfast is ready."
After a while, the female elf called out to Lewis, and Lewis walked out of the room and looked at the breakfast on the table.
He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
It's actually a hot pot, a hot pot eaten with chopsticks.
Fresh slices of meat, fruits, mushrooms, and other ingredients are added to it and served with a special dipping sauce for a unique taste.
This hot pot is similar to the hot pot he has eaten, but in terms of subtle taste, it is a little different.
For example, there is no chili pepper in the dipping sauce here, and the flavor is mainly salty.
"Miss Elf, I haven't asked your name yet." Putting the chopsticks down in his hand, Lewis said, wondering if the names of the people in the Western Continent were any different from where he had been before.
"Fiona. Luke, this is my destiny, but the tribe doesn't call me that, they call me a goddess, and all the female elves who eat the golden apple are called goddesses. The elf explained to Lewis as she stuffed food into her mouth.
Although the elves here speak fluent Chinese, they are no different in terms of naming than those outside the Western Continent.
"Goddess? So, the goddess and the viper are natural enemies? One symbolizes angels and one symbolizes demons? ”
Lewis casually asked, the goddess and the viper, it was almost like symbolizing something, and, in the occult, the symbolism was very obvious.
Fiona frowned, she pondered for a moment, and affirmed:
"Perhaps you are right, we and the Viper are indeed old enemies, old enemies passed down from generation to generation, especially when the golden apples are about to ripen, and the Vipers will always try to attack us."
Lewis pressed his half-height silk top hat as he quietly savored the food that helped maintain his humanity.
Those poisonous snakes are also strange, there are so many poisonous snakes that died last night, and none of them are entities. Or, all vipers are entities, but they are not real creatures.
As for the development of the golden apple and the Western Continent's extraordinary power, Lewis doesn't need to think about it now, as long as he gets the golden apple and tries to divination, he can know a lot of things, and the soothsayer is so convenient.
It wasn't until the end of this hearty breakfast that Lewis spoke to Fiona again and asked:
"How many years does a golden apple ripen?"
"In ten years, every tenth summer, the golden apple will appear, it has no growth period, and it is ripe." Fiona explained.
"Since you are not the first goddess, where have the previous goddesses gone? As far as I know, elves are a long-lived race, and their lifespan is not short. ”
Fiona's face suddenly became embarrassed, and Lewis was not in a hurry to know the truth, he touched Fiona's wrist and took away the other party's bad luck.
Fiona, who has no bad luck, will be very lucky, even if she goes out and picks up the golden apple directly.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Lewis sent Fiona away, and he stayed in a separate room, making a sealed spiritual wall, trying to enter the gray mist.
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun;
Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun;
Fusheng Xuanhuang God;
Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun ......"
With each mantra recited in Hermes, Lewis took a step backwards until four of them were recited, and a crimson eruption in front of his eyes.
A dense murmur sounded in his ears, and when the whispering was over, he came to the gray mist, and saw the tall light gate and silkworm cocoon in front of him.
The golden silk nanmu and benches that had been manifested before were long gone, and the place was empty again.
"Now that Crane has a deeper grip on the Source Castle, it may not be long before he can explore the area.
If Klein discovers that someone else has been in the depths of the Source Castle, it will definitely arouse suspicion and even cause conflict. ”
Lewis sighed, the Lord of Mysteries was like a thief, and for his own resurrection, he needed to arrange everything in order until he waited for Crane to take the bait.
Confirming that he could still enter Fort Source on his own initiative, Lewis immediately left the place, considering whether to find a way to remind Crane.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking that the thread of his fate is in the hands of the Lord of Mystery, and this is more than a warning.
Opening his eyes again, Lewis was back in Fiona's room, and he left the room to ask the elves of the tribe about the situation.
According to the elves, the forest inhabited by the elves was only an insignificant piece of land, and a much larger land was ruled by humans.
Human beings have the ability to build tall buildings, but only to build tall buildings, there are no steam engines as Lewis said, no guns and cannons, and both human society and elven society have civilizations similar to feudal dynasties.
"It's strange that there are tall buildings, but there are no powerful offensive weapons."
Lewis thought about it for a while, and soon understood the reason for the uneven development of civilization, whether it was the outside world or the Western Continent, it had already experienced a destruction, and civilization had disappeared completely.
Those civilizations that were ahead of their time were probably left behind by survivors or time-travelers, and that survivor was not omnipotent.
