Lately, I've been writing things with a deep sense of déjà vu...... Am I spiritual?
――
The slight wind, the weathered stones on the ground, raised a small cloud of dust, and the rustling sound echoed, and soon disappeared, as if swallowed by the endless darkness around it.
In the darkness, there was a spirit-absorbing monster.
The creature lowered its tentacles holding a pair of magic lenses, glanced around, and then looked at the small pile of pale beneath its feet—it was a pile of drow elf bones, but before a few breaths, it was still a corpse called a corpse witch because of the abundance of death and negative energy on its body.
This realization makes the soul-sucking monster feel comfortable.
The undead are indeed very troublesome opponents, but for a mature and cautious spirit absorbing monster, they are actually not worth mentioning, as long as they advance layer by layer, be careful not to be surrounded by them, then these low-level undead can actually be wiped out by themselves, especially now, the most difficult corpse witch has turned into a pile of bones, and the remaining skeletons are not to be feared, unless there is a second one lurking here, but according to their own observations, there is no strong light and shadow of undead spells around.
According to the Elders, once the skeletons in the area are cleared, one more slave can be selected to join their ranks.
Well, so choose a few strong warriors or choose one of the few priestesses? numerical superiority is sometimes necessary, but there are more than one priestess can do, let alone as a spellcaster. The abundance of their gray matter is not comparable to that of simple-minded male drows.
The Spirit Sucker thought a little with pleasure, but soon, his tentacles trembled.
Silver eye bubbles shimmer. Cast your gaze on a rock pile not far away...... In the last instant, the psychic connection between one of his drow servants and him was silently severed.
It was a sign of death or intense interference, either of which was a sign of danger - his drow were carefully selected warriors who could be killed without warning, and the strength of their opponents was by no means equal.
Of course not, the psionic monsters will never actively set foot in dangerous places, even if they are only in possible danger. A slave is nothing to him. Although it was something that was bought with some psionic creation,
Without hesitation, the Spirit Suction Monster mentally ordered a few slaves to tighten their guard nets and move closer to him.
Because the enemy has come out.
The psionic monster provokes a tentacle. Brushing his eyes, the invisible psionic connection on each slave's body allowed him to be sure that the other party was definitely not his own side, not to mention, the white cloak that covered his body. It is enough for him to determine the identity of the other party - the creatures of the dark region are not in the habit of using white, and the double constraints of eyesight and environment make them instinctively choose dark gray and purple or black as their own protection. As well as camouflage.
A human?
As the enemy raised their faces, the psionic monster's movements paused slightly...... Of course. It is true that he does not know much about human beings, but he is not so strange as to be so good. On the contrary, he knew very well that the delicacy of this creature's gray matter was by no means inferior to that of any drow elf, and he had heard that there were at least hundreds of millions of such creatures on the surface, and most importantly, most of them were very weak, with almost no power.
And the one in front of me...... It was perfect.
This is a human female, from that slender body and curvy
For the Spirit Sucker, the appearance of all the creatures in the world is just a change of proportion, and it is not important, but the appearance of this human being is enough to attract him - her skull is so upright, wide and narrow, length or arc, it is the best choice, which means that the brain contained in it must be extremely perfect, all kinds of associations, stimulate the digestive organs of the Spirit Suck Monster, so that he unconsciously secretes a slimy digestive juice from the tentacles......"
It's just that the cunning of the spirit sucking monster made him not stop thinking because of this.
It is precisely because humans are creatures on the surface of the earth that he is particularly alert when he appears here - this is the abyssal land, not a place where humans can get lost, either brought by a powerful slave owner, or his own strength is amazing.
Yes, the strength is amazing.
The danger warning in the psychic monster's brain has suddenly increased to the extreme!
Because, between the breaths, the human suddenly burst out with a scorching golden light!
A human who suddenly glows all over...... The Spirit Sucker had already made a judgment within a hundredth of a breath - he did not hesitate to condense the spiritual energy, and the invisible spiritual shock distorted the power around him, and swooped forward like thunder and lightning!
Soul blast!
However, in the next moment, an incomparable horror suddenly surrounded the strange body, brain, all!
The mental impact of the return almost made the Spirit Sucker go crazy, he screamed, revealing a Psionic Arbitrary Gate, and at the same time waving his tentacles, gathering more power in this Psionic Energy, the burst of psionic silver light was enough to make any opponent dizzy, although he couldn't travel too far in this narrow place, but it was enough to find a place to hide himself......
The light lit up.
But the body of the spirit-sucking monster stiffened, because the light was golden.
In that cloud of golden light, the figure with the wings stretched out of the light was so bright that a thought suddenly came to the mind of the spirit absorbing monster......
Beautiful.
The world seemed to slow for a moment, and figures appeared around me, crumbling walls, and their own slaves...... All the qiē and qiē disappeared at this moment...... Or rather, it was hidden in the dazzling light. The light and fire went out, and after that, there was endless darkness, only the scorching heat, which exploded from the skull of the spirit sucking monster, and instantly swallowed the remnants of his consciousness into nothingness.
The sword that pierced the sucking monster's head turned slightly, and the golden brilliance was only a flash. The sleek psionic skin dried up and burned, and in the blink of an eye, with a handful of scattered ashes.
……
Dust, up and down in a pale light, up and down, shuttling. Reflecting the surroundings, the vast space, in the center of the space, there is a huge granite table, a beam of white light from the high dome, lighting the stone table, like a starlight in the night.
Farther away, the light dimmed a little. It was as if the entire hall had been silently invaded by darkness......
And with the darkness comes extreme silence.
Because dialogue is echoed in the mind.
"Well, I have to say. This is indeed a good work, and even an underground dwarf who is skilled in mechanical creation cannot imagine such a delicate form. ”
On the side of the long table, the Eater of Souls lifted its large purple-red head and spoke in the language of the heart. His gaze swept over the six figures standing still at the other end.
"For us, though. Its existence is still of little significance, after all. It relies on the movement of air to create power, and there are many ways to do it. It can be neutralized, it's a convenient and practical tool for you humans, but for us," the Spirit Sucker raised a tentacle and shook it, "Among the ancient ruins we have excavated, there is a study of continuous, large-capacity floating magic equipment, which has far exceeded the effect of this simple device you proposed, it may provide us with a new idea, but it can't be exchanged for much. Not even enough to buy the entire lives of the six of you, to be exact. ”
"What does that mean?"
The voice of the Spirit Sucker was slow and peaceful, but the last sentence made Edward's heart beat suddenly like a sharp sword: a sudden alertness made the human tense his body: "You want to break the contract? That's a despicable thing. ”
"I will not bear your blame, on the contrary, you are really responsible for your actions. ”
The Eater of Souls named Carnz Buck spoke, still methodical, "According to what we have just received, Excellencies, you were involved in the recent family war in Hanseatic Tylon, in which you killed ten of our compatriots. So, at this point, you are now our enemies, and you have to come up with more bargaining chips to pay for it. ”
The light and shadow in the hall changed suddenly.
A robed psionic monster strode out in a silver light. And then another ...... Third ...... They saw each other, then nodded, and stood silently around the hall. Their tall bodies were all over nine feet tall, with long knee-high tentacles, and huge heads, almost like a group of reproduced images, and only the different shades of purple red on their skins could make people distinguish the difference.
Five Eaters of Souls.
There are not many people, but the power they should have, it seems to be enough to represent a situation.
Despair. Momentary despair.
With a soft click, Claudia's long sword was unsheathed, but the female knight's figure froze, and she stopped in the sword-wielding movement!
"Shameless evil monster!"
The half-elf gritted his teeth. Curse loudly. The warhammer in her hand was also overshadowed. And the fluctuation of magic power also surrounded Dahni's body, and the druid Famini raised his staff, only Drow Durin paused, still able to calm down a little.
"This is not in accordance with your laws, Honorable Elder Carnziback, you are sabotaging our sacred deal!" he shouted with a raised voice, "and, you should be well aware that it was an attack by your compatriots, and that we have been in a state of self-defense in this matter......!
"Yes, you are in a state of hostility, but my compatriots died at your hands after all, so in order to show fairness, we will put this incident down at such a small cost. ”
The voice of the Eater of Souls resounded in everyone's hearts, calm and cold, like a slippery tentacle enveloping everyone's soul, and his silver eyes were fixed on the human face, as if to peek into the other's thoughts: "It is because of all the conditions that I will continue our transaction, as long as you can come up with enough chips, you are still our guest, and I can give you what you want." ”
"Enough chips?"
Or something disappointing him. There was not the slightest change in the face of that human being, and those who had been coerced and calculated in their memories. It seems completely different.
"I don't think I need to explain anything to you anymore," the Psicoccon was a little disappointed, and decided to add a little bit of something to stir things up, "Or, you can just leave and just leave your three companions behind." ”
But it still doesn't seem to work.
“…… Knowledge, huh?" the human groaned. Then he gave his answer: "What if I could sue sù something more interesting." Let's say, about another representation of the structure of this world, or rather, a form of composition?
"Reflections on the origin of this world. The ideas formed are the treasures of our pursuit, and they can always be pursued by us...... If you can provide some of the fragments, as long as we haven't thought of them, haven't verified them. Then you can get out of the predicament in front of you, and even see the thought as close to the source. You can even be our most valued guest. ”
The voice, with a low, trembling chord. It's like there are several people who say it at the same time. End at the same time.
"If you can really bring it up. After a pause, the Eater of Souls named Karnzbak added.
"Anything that is magnified to the whole world, or even the entire universe of time and space, is by no means material, but is only the core of various wills, and the layers of appearances wrapped outside. ”
"It's a shame that we're all very clear about that. And I want to remind you that this is our basic understanding of the world, and if you continue to explain this, then I will see your actions as a waste of time,"
The tentacles of the Spirit Suction Monster twisted slightly, staring coldly at the human beings in front of him - when the Ilgod Si created zào out of them, he did not give the Spirit Suction Monster joy to this feeling, so any Spirit Sucker would not sneer, of course, this did not prevent him from expressing contempt for this human in his heart......
According to the original expectation of the Eater of Souls, this human should trade certain items, or some interesting knowledge of creations.
But...... He would even raise the question of origin?
Is it true that human beings can provide anything meaningful in this regard? No, they are the beings of the Divine Being, or they are not lacking in intelligence, but their short lifespan and multiplicity of ** make them have no time to think about the source...... It cannot be denied that the interesting machine he has just come up with is from their minds, but creation and the search for origin are two completely different things, the existence of zài, meaning, human beings, or can pick up people's teeth, but will never be the creator......
What's more, their inferior senses simply cannot touch the reality of this world, because the observable world does not 'exist'. The world in the human eye is only a special reflection of the lower senses in a limited time and space, not the original real world...... So, the eyes are not credible, even if there is something like a real gaze, it is not credible. Consciousness alone is the only thing that can be trusted in this multiverse.
How could such a lowly creature be?
……
"Okay, I'll just explain it briefly. Of course, the one just now is your perception of the world, but there may be only one world, but there is not only one way to observe it, let's say......"
Edward reached out and pulled a piece of paper from the space bag. Then I took out the pen and dotted a little bit on the paper.
As a result, the eyes of all the psionics, at this moment, followed his hand as it moved...... The strange metal creations, the smooth and smooth objects, which grew paler in the fluorescent, were enough to catch their eyes and spirits.
Well, it's on a plane, but it's not here, because it can be infinitely tiny, something that's just imagined, something that's stored in our cognition. The human pointed to the black, so that ten silver eyes converged on the small black patch.
This is the second point, which is also marked, but between the two points, a finite dimension is formed, which we will now connect, and then we can call it a dimension. It's a collection of innumerable dots, conceptually innumerable...... So here, a concept has been born, and that is length. Distance, the distance between any two points on a plane. And that's all there is to it in one-dimensional space. ”
"Interesting idea, but I hope that this is just the beginning. A Eater of Souls spoke.
"A start, of course. The corners of the human's mouth curled slightly, and the steel tip of the pen continued to slide across the paper. There was a rustling sound.
And then, here is the second line, and from this the plane comes into being, and here he has length and width, although in this world he has only these two constructions, which we call two-dimensional...... To facilitate observation, we can connect it to the first line, which is equivalent to giving it a fork in the road. The human voice, calm, gentle, but then turned into a presence that tugged at their thoughts: "Then, our world, with length, breadth, and depth, is three-dimensional...... But have you ever wondered what the so-called four dimensions are?"
"Time, our three-dimensional world, becomes a point, and the axis of time is these points - one by one, we are made up, a pre-hourglass me, half an hourglass, even a pre-hourglass me, and even a me, of course, why can it only be before? Because this is the direction in which this line is drawn, and if you can't look at it from another higher dimension, then you can't reverse it...... Of course, you will be able to understand me, for I know that you can travel through time, albeit only in the same way as the dimension of time. ”
The human's voice paused, and he raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the heads of the octopuses in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, revealing a twisted smile.
And the five purple-red heads were all slightly lowered at the moment, and the silver in their eyes was deep, and they were silent. The space was silent for a moment, except for the low groaning sound of air sliding into the eight-eyed eel's gill-like mouthparts.
"These are the first four of the twelve dimensions that make up the universe, so guys, how much do you think you can get in exchange for what I'm talking about, what you have in your hands?" (To be continued......)
