Chapter 493: The Olive Branch of the Highland Mage
"Of course." Roach narrowed his eyes, yawned, and said, "I am completely loyal to Qionglin, and the Supreme Council has its own arrangements for everything. ”
"Loyalty." The Highland Mage repeated the words that came from Roach's mouth, but there was no more. He raised his hand and summoned a bamboo teapot from the air, on which were a teapot and two teacups. "This is a wild tea grown in the garden, so you might as well taste it."
Luo Qi stretched out his hand to take the tea, his hand trembled so badly that the tea cup trembled in his hand, and he frowned and forced the half-spilled tea to his mouth and drank it.
"Only by putting on shackles can you be loyal." The Highland Mage said, "Come in my door, and you will be liberated." ”
"Is this tea?" Roach didn't answer him, frowned and said, "This is the grass leaves picked in the field and dried and soaked in water." ”
The Highland Mage looked at the small swirls in his teacup, stirring it properly to get the best taste. "The mage's road is very far, and the trap between the mortals and the dust has been delayed, and the only place where the mage should go is the other place of bliss."
Roach was attracted by this, which sounded very much like Buddhism, and if he hadn't seen any signs of idolatry in the Highlands' residence, he would have suspected that the Highlanders' beliefs were of the same origin as Buddhism. But he was also very familiar with the name "the other side", and Liu Xing, a classmate who mixed with him at school, often mentioned "the other side", which was the habit of his grandparents to speak, referring to the territory of mankind. In addition to this, the Lotus Burner seems to occasionally mention it.
"Does the Hash Mage know about the Lotus Burner?" Rocky asked.
"They seem to us to be part of you." The highland mage said kindly, but not very politely.
"Ahh Rocky said with a haha. "I don't know why, they often refer to the territory of mankind by the other side, so they accuse us of eating the lotus fruit of mankind, staying on the island of humanity and refusing to leave, and we can no longer be heroic odysseys."
"A Misinterpretation of Ancient Memory." Hash Mage said.
"Ancient memories?"
"Ancient memories are the oral legends of the mages, just like the oral legends of human beings, Dayu's control of the water, Noah's Ark, if there is nothing, the details are missing, and there are various ways to interpret it."
"Is the time of the Ancestor Mage in ancient times?" Roach asked, pondering the direction of his words, "The Lotus Burner is a part of us, which means that the Highland Mage is another kind of mage, in human terms, since the beginning of Chaos, the Highland Mage is another kind of mage. Have you been in a state of fusion since the time of the Ancestor Mage? ”
The Hash Mage looked into Roach's eyes, "We are the Mages who made the choice. ”
"If I had made my choice, I would have been a Highland Mage." Roach understood, it was an invitation and an explanation.
The Hash Mage looked at him and nodded.
"Were your ancestors the ones who made the choice in the time of the Ancestral Mage?"
"Yes."
Roach stared at him, and suddenly stabbed straight in, "No, you are actually jailers guarding the rebellious female ancestor. ”
For a near-long moment, the Highland Mages and Roach stared at each other. Roach knew what they were doing, and in the spiritual world their consciousness could turn so fast that it was like a dream for days, and they were thinking, discussing, discussing, and guessing what Roach had discovered and where they had found it in the spiritual world that had synchronously been in the spiritual world, and they could quickly think that it was in that cave, and that there was some kind of presence in the cave that had come into contact with Roach. Roach was amused, and he had a strange thought, "You know, you're like several parallel computers, you're the terminal of this machine, and the interface of the machine is a hash mage. ”
The Hash Master smiled slowly, accommodating his jokes, and asked him gently, "Is there any difference between being a jailer and being a cultivator?" ”
"There are many versions of the myth of the Ancestral Mage, and even their numbers vary in the legends. Some say nine, some say three are left in the end, if it is three, one is a rebellious female ancestor, then the other two seem to correspond to the two branches of the mage. Our ancestors, the ancestors of the Highland Mages and a rebellious female ancestor who may not have many descendants, are the three Primordial Mages. ”
After a long time, the Hash Mage nodded, "What you said is not wrong. ”
Roach secretly gasped.
"The Ancestors came here after a long journey and established a group of mages in the hope of restoring the prosperity of the race. But like almost all ancient human legends, brothers and sisters who were originally of the same heart and soul were divided. The Highland Master said, "One of the Ancestors held fast to the original idea, and he was the first Venerable of Qionglin. An Ancestor went astray and was deprived of his existence after the Great War of the Ancestors. Another patriarch was disillusioned at the center of the Great War, and eventually converted to an older faith, leading his followers to the high ground. Highland Mage, the name you gave us. Cultivation could have been anywhere, as you must have guessed, we stayed in the highlands to guard the ancient ruins. There are countless kinds of evil in the remnants of the Mage War, and it is best for the world to stay away. ”
"As far as I know, the previous Sect Master of the Lotus Burner came here to look for it." Roach said.
"A misinterpretation of ancestral memories led him to the point of no return." Hash Mage said.
"You really deserve it." Roach simply spoke, and he thought of clownfish swimming around here. "I take your word for it. By the way, they will come back. ”
The Highland Mage nodded.
"According to you, your ancestor, has he arrived on the other side now?"
"Yes."
"Became a god?"
"The meaning of God is complicated, and God is a human being, and there is no god for mages."
"Did he gain eternal life, then?" Roach asked.
"Nature."
"Does he have the power to turn decay into magic?"
"Nature."
"Is time different for him than we are?"
"Nature."
"That's God." "Don't be modest. ”
"I thought God was supposed to be an idol to be worshipped."
"Humble God."
The Hash Mage looked at him wordlessly.
Roach hesitated, "I made a wish to him, will he answer me?" ”
"If your wish is granted, will you join the ranks of the highland mages, fulfill your duty as a guard, and follow in the footsteps of the sages?"
"Then I might think about it." Rocky said cautiously.
Master Hash smiled slightly, as if debating with his apprentice, "Then according to your understanding of God, will God do it?" ”
Roach's smile faded into color, and he lowered his gaze, "No, I don't think so." If there really is a God, it must be a higher being, and the desires and emotions of the world are already a small existence, and God will not look back at all. If there is no God, it is useless to prostrate and turn to the mountains and beg. ”
"You can choose to become God yourself, and after ascending to a higher being, your former desires and emotions will be small, and this may be God's solution to your problems."
"Nope." Roach heard his voice sharpen, his suppressed anger boiling in his chest, and he quickly dispelled his emotions. "I know you have true intelligence, and I shouldn't doubt that you are Frankenstein monsters. I am willing to respect your choice, but I am a human being, and even if I have the opportunity to choose, I still choose to be a stupid and ordinary person with shackles. ”
