"Regardless of race, the so-called trust should be based on the accumulation of success. ”
"How do you think they'll deal with it? Will they let you continue to roam like this in the main material plane?Let you destroy the source of their power, the foundation of their faith? Do you think your current strength can easily deal with several god clones? There aren't many gods who know anything about Pandorian Ryan, but Lansender happens to be one of them. ”
"One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat...... "This Lord of the Dawn is the first god to know about my sagi, but do you think he will leak my sagi to other gods because of this?"
"What is a monk. ”
"A kind of priest. ”
"Isn't there a way to make and gather water in the arts?"
"Well, you can understand that their strength is low, they have no magic, and then one of them lives in a house in the wilderness, and there is only a stream to supply water, but the distance is far away, and the water they need can only be fetched by walking, and then another ......"
"One looking for food, one looking for water, one guarding the house, can't they take turns doing these things?"
"They just need water to stay alive...... Forget it, don't care about those unnecessary things, in short, when a thing comes into the distribution of benefits, it will become troublesome, especially when the distribution of benefits has its own advantages. Things will be difficult to get done. ”
The Psychic shook his head, a little speechless for a moment. Deeply aware that it is really unhelpful and boring to explain the idioms of another civilization in the system of one civilization.
"So, it's because of this theory that you want more gods to be involved in this game, and you think they're going to keep each other in check because of that?" asked the lich. Do you think this shared fear will make them want to cooperate?"
Or...... But in this world, human beings have never cooperated seamlessly. ”
The human laughed:
"They do have fear, but there is not only one type of fear. What they feared even more was that other gods would climb on their heads. Obligations and rights are interrelated, giving and getting are always commensurate, and compromise may result in a win-win situation, but it is rarely a win-win situation. Therefore, the more deities involved in this matter, the more likely it is to create a more stable balance. It's no longer a threat to me. ”
The lich fell silent.
Edward is no longer puzzled - in a society that sucks monsters. He didn't know what the status perception was, but obviously, it was much simpler than that of humans - in addition to the respect for the mastermind, the spirit suckers themselves were only constrained by strength, the strong were respected, and the weak were just slaves.
But God's world. It seems to be the same.
So, will they really act according to a human idea? As a combination of emotions and rules, will they really not pursue their own power in the consideration of higher goals?
One question after another, came to mind. Edward suddenly appeared about his own speculation about God. There is indeed some arrogance - at least, to make sure that it has not been verified by the facts, which is one of the most standard manifestations of arrogance.
The afterglow of the setting sun has turned from orange to blood, and the hustle and bustle of the city has become grand and complicated, but what is waiting for does not appear there.
Is it just that the scale is not large enough to attract the attention of the gods, but if this scale is not enough, how can you 'properly' get the attention of the gods?
With a sigh, Edward stepped forward.
Between the light and the light of the surrounding scene, he had already passed through a hundred miles of space, and a new city appeared at his feet.
This city is different from Columbernkett in that the buildings in the city are mostly made of gray and white marble, and they still look luxurious and elegant under the blue and purple canopy. The wide moat flows from one side into the river that winds outside the city, and although the city is slightly smaller than Columburnt, it seems to have something more to offer.
However, for Edward, the appearance of the city was not the object of his attention at all, and the lines of light had already outlined in his eyes the group portraits of the creatures in the city, and several of them were particularly bright and dazzling, enough to attract his attention.
His eyes flickered, and Edward reached out and pointed downward, and in the space, a dark red luster cut through the landscape, and the sulphur-scented magical barrier was already surging wildly from it, sharp claws poking out of it, with chilling scales and dagger-like nails.
"Oh, hey, it's a bit of a bad thing to use this kind of thing at this time...... You. ”
"It's too unaesthetic, it's simple, it's crude, it's not the method that a person with real power should choose...... Huh?"
Some familiar sounds made the telemancer's fingers move slightly, and the summoning door that had just been opened flickered and disappeared into the air. As he turned his gaze to the shadow that appeared a thousand feet away, his brow jumped powerfully in the shadow of his hood.
The gold trim, sapphire brooch, and the three-tiered skirt corners and the pale white ubiquitous lace edges form a pink dress, which is extremely vulgar...... However, if you take a moment to look closely, the notion of 'vulgarity' seems to have no bearing on the wearer—the golden face with a white face exuding a holy and misty glow. The slender but straight waist turns the layers of pink and white lace into an excellent decoration, setting off a particularly dusty temperament, noble and elegant, like a saint.
Just standing there casually, it has the demeanor of overthrowing all beings.
But as soon as he stepped out of the gap in the space, the voice full of temptation brought a little surprise - the owner of the voice looked at him, and only then did he see the telemagician who should have been close at hand. It was a thousand feet away from him.
However, these small surprises did not affect her movements, revealing a charming smile, and her body swept through the space of hundreds of feet, leaving a series of afterimages in the air, floating like a fairy.
"Oh, Edward, this kind of joke is a bit excessive. It's not the attitude that an old friend should have when they meet. ”
"I don't remember ever having a friend like Your Excellency. ”
"Oh, that's terrible, I've heard that this kind of illness is very difficult to treat, but luckily, I know a doctor who is not only good at magic, but also has many other forms of healing, such as herbal therapy, object therapy, and soul therapy. If you want, he will definitely help you get your memories back. ”
“…… If not, I think it's a good time to say goodbye?"
"Really. Why bother to meet as soon as you first meet. How about rejecting people thousands of miles away?" the woman glanced at him resentfully, holding her heart a little exaggeratedly, with a strange beauty in her posture: "Isn't it a unique luck to meet in a different place?"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
The voice was still faint. No matter how poignant the expression on the other party's face was, the state of the Psychic Warlock did not change in the slightest—cold and calm, while the invisible spiritual tentacles surrounded him, sending a cold and hard rejection to anyone who approached him. The torrent of spirit, which roared like a flood, was hidden behind the invisible embankment, and the whole space was shrouded in the madness of accumulation.
"It's vicious. Sir Edward, do you say that there must be something to do when I see you? Isn't it a good reason to meet you by chance?" sighed slightly, and the look on that face was enough to make the most crappy bard write a famous poem that has been recited through the ages.
Unfortunately, Edward was not in the mood to change his attitude, after all, he knew very well that the charming ...... in front of him It's not a stunner, not even a woman. - Or, 'Not a woman, this description is indeed the most appropriate for him, he is not only not a 'woman', nor is he a 'man'.
This guy is a male demon at all.
Moreover, he is a very powerful demon.
The relationship between him and Edward was only one-sided, in the underground of the Spirit-Sucking Monster City, in the magic circle that sealed the fragments of royal power - if it weren't for this, Edward might not have been so deeply wary of him.
Whether it is a demon or an angel, there is no dual essence of zài, so it will be quite suppressed in the main material plane. And this kind of suppression from the power of the entire plane is no joke, even the most powerful demon refining or flame demon can't withstand such a constant attrition.
So the demon usually doesn't stay on the main material plane for long periods of time, and there are usually only two possibilities for those anomalies - either he is bound by some kind of power and can only be weakened to death by the repulsive power of the main material plane, or his power is strong enough to completely ignore those attritions.
And the 'young lady' in front of her, judging from the situation, of course, does not belong to the former.
Fundamentally, Edward would have liked him to belong to a different situation, that is, after the last time he met under the city of the Spirit Sucking Monsters, this demon has returned to the lower realm, and this time, someone has summoned him back, but the problem is that this reason is fundamentally difficult to make sense - the last time this guy was trapped was in the circle that sealed the fragments of royal power, and only Edward and a few Astral Apostles had seen him, if he returned to the lower realm and was summoned again, then who summoned him? Is it a hapless person who has witnessed a qiē from beginning to end?
The more important question is, what is he doing here?
"The gods, by nature, still have more or less human characteristics...... Emotions can be extinguished, and bodies can be immortal, but their way of thinking as human beings is the foundation of all things, and the so-called foundation means that even if they have the will to change, the inertia of thinking cannot be easily reversed in a short period of time. ”
Eyes swept over the city at his feet, and his lips lifted slightly, and the 'beauty' spat out a comment: "The idea is good, but you still know too little about them, and besides, how much information have you obtained about the exchange between the gods......? Not a good habit, though I'll admit it. If they do it directly to you, they really won't be very good. ”
Edward was silent, but in his heart, it was indeed inevitable to move.
But then, the 'young lady' said something that made him laugh dumbly.
"Plan, Lord Edward, your plan is crude. This will make your actions easy to see through. Otherwise, why do you think the scale of your operation today has not achieved real results? Because the chaotic ripples cancel each other out. ”
She folded her hands behind her back and said, "Killing, setting fires, sabotage, etc." These things can indeed be pleasant, especially to stir up strife between gods, which is indeed a masterpiece, but as a good planner, it is not advisable to just pursue the result. Lord Edward, especially with your strength, you don't feel that the process is gorgeous. Is it also a pleasurable pursuit?"
That seems to be a good point. But actually...... Say the devil's plan?
Demons, the Tanari race, the representative of the evil chaos of the multiverse, whose nature has meant that they have always been a mess - personality, speech, behavior. The qiē and the qiē are all done casually, and even the evil deeds are equally chaotic and have no purpose...... Or that the purpose is changing all the time, and there is no logic at all.
So even in the main physical plane, 'the devil's plan' is a well-known saying. It means that the name is not true and that it is unattainable.
"You see, the gods never fight unprepared battles. Normally, they would have to take every step of the way, even if they knew they had lost the opportunity, and they would never step into a battlefield they were unfamiliar with until they knew the strength of the enemy, unless they suffered unacceptable losses. "As if completely oblivious to the disdain of the human being, the demon 'Miss' turned her gaze and stretched out her hand to wave lightly, so that a few subtle dark red traces flew out on his fingertips and disappeared in the air.
The Psychic Warlock's gaze moved.
In his eyes, those tiny reds were dark red runes, and the twisted and cracked appearance looked particularly weird, each one was no more than the size of a fingernail, but the power around the lines was extremely huge!
"Yes. I know you don't trust me because I'm a demon. The devil is certainly not so good. Even those who have spent a lot of effort to buy them will only betray in the next moment and eat their souls...... You who come from the main material realm are zài...... Well, in fact, the beings of the entire multiverse seem to have this kind of perception of demons. “
Releasing the powerful runes in his hand, he turned his head to look at Edward, his eyes were as clear as elves, "Why? Understand the bottomless abyss, understand all kinds of demons? So their word is the truth?"
Edward's gaze fell on the rune paper.
As if falling freely, they fell to the corners of the city, far away, but faintly connected with thin lines, and the moment they touched the ground, the runes had already cracked and unfolded...... The Psychic Warlock's pupils shrank, and in his gaze, a huge circle was instantly generated in the center of those runes and the center!
"You, all those who have dealt with demons, have you really thought about trusting them? In the eyes of those fellows, what is the difference between demons and beasts? All you need is a chew, a bridle, a carrot in front of your head, and obedient work, right? Has anyone ever cared about what demons really think? Has anyone tried to communicate with them sincerely? No, not really, all you want is the service of the demons, preferably free and endless, and in the end you have to complain that the demons are being paid too much. And when we give you real benefits, we have to wonder if there is any trap in it, in fact, no one has ever thought about the point of the demon using the well to deal with humans...... With our strength, wouldn't it be faster to kill those stupid guys?"
The demon shook his head, and seemed to sigh with emotion:
"This is the fixed thinking of human beings, a very bad habit of thinking, just like you always think that men must wear robes or pants, and males can't wear skirts, just like you think that demons can only kill people and can't sincerely help others, this is a very strict prejudice!"
This guy said a lot of things with a gun and a stick, but he didn't have a real ...... What the hell is he here to help the Psychic Warlock?
Edward didn't feel that he had any contract or anything to do with the royal power, so it was certainly not forced, and if it was to seek the essence of the royal power, this demon didn't seem to be the type to be brainless and confident in his own power, so it was impossible not to see how difficult it was to take the royal power from Edward's hands, let alone a boring method such as deception.
Of course, he couldn't
If you meet a demon who is willing to help you, there must be a conspiracy behind it...... Is there such a creature as a "demon who sincerely helps people" in the multiverse?
Even with some special reasons that other humans can think of, it seems to be equally inexplicable - if this pseudo-girl demon is in love with someone, maybe he may make a little loss-making business.
Such a strange thought suddenly popped into the mind of the psychic mancer, but it disappeared before it could form words.
Where in this world will there be a touch that knows how to love?
