Ariel still sat upright, her eyelids lowered, twitching slightly.
"You may think that what I am saying is nothing more than a fallacy, a lie to make you waver, but in reality the ideal is different from the truth, and although it always seems perfect, it is precisely because of this that it is not realistic. Edward continued, and didn't seem to care at all about whether it was a lack of image while eating: "Truth is what exists, and what exists is truth, and ideals often have to destroy part of it, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are opposites, so whether it is to uphold justice or goodness, strength is needed, and strength is to remove obstacles." The so-called ideal is just an end. ”
"So, my ideal is relatively simple...... Like I said, live for what you decide, even if you swear by Styx, love those who love me, and hate those who hate me......"
His words slowly became slighter, but it was this slight voice that seemed to bring layers of echoes in the small room—some power, flowing at the bottom of the deep and infinite abyss, rushing above the high and vast wilderness, running through the soul veins of the entire universe, quietly rolling up a wave, using the power of the origin of this world to respond to the words of human beings.
The corners of Edward's mouth silently hooked up a happy smile.
Originally, this casual Styx vow was just a gimmick to deceive Grazt, so he said a sentence that was like nonsense without thinking, but at that time, he had some unexpected result - when the words "love my loved one" were spoken, he could clearly feel the tremor of his soul in his body.
The soul is responding to this vow......
And now, in a moment of peace of mind, when this vow is repeated, he can feel it...... I felt more clearly that wonderful connection—scattered thousands of miles away, somewhere. But recently, and the clearest one, is just a stone's throw away.
Or, it doesn't mean much change, but the mere fact of being there is enough to make Edward excited.
"Hold on and cherish those that we believe are good and right, and pay for it...... That's what life is all about. And what we do, it's no different. "The strange change has attracted some attention, or maybe it is finally unbearable for the human to talk nonsense...... A grim proverb came from Ariel's spirit.
"So you want to say, different paths to the same end? ”
Edward smiled, not minding that his remarks were over, "Hmm. Speaking of which, since those demons can re-extend their tentacles into the main physical plane, is there any way to make the current gods wash you and feel the prayers of the believers?"
"Yes...... The method of connecting the main material plane through the special circle is actually common, and the power of the gods can naturally return, as long as we are willing to cooperate. It is possible to create a zào sanctified land. Ariel finally opened his eyes. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Pan Duo Ryan's barrier to divine power is only limited to this plane, as long as the gods descend their clones, the previous few times they can naturally break this barrier, but it is quite difficult." ”
"How difficult is it?"
"Since we can't use any divine power, we need to build a large magic circle, which is quite complicated in scale. It may take at least ten days if the materials are sufficient. Ariel said: "Such a magic circle needs to use Star Gold, and all the points need to be made of Mithril or Hao Huo Copper, but there are some key things that are quite rare in the main material plane, but it may also be the only means to make up for the current predicament." ”
"Can you show me the pattern of the circle?"
"You'd better stop thinking about greed. Eriel pursed her lips at his smile, but eventually reached out and drew an intricate pattern in the air. With the slide of that pale fingertip. Large expanses of text also appeared in the air, occupying almost a radius of two or three feet.
Edward's eyes flashed with silver, imprinting the pattern in his memory. Self-hypnosis expanded his abilities to the limit, and the process took him only a dozen seconds.
"Let's take a break. If you continue to be verbose like this, you will have to get to the place. ”
He said this, completely unconcerned that he was the only one disturbing the peace around him from beginning to end.
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, his breathing began to fall silent, just like Ariel in front of him, but unlike the kind of meditation used to restore energy, the power of divine energy circulated around his body, adding spiritual energy to an incredible degree, only in an instant, his spirit had broken away from **, and ran into the distance along the vein of this world.
Far away is not far away.
At least not out of this plane as expected.
Edward was a little surprised when he appeared in a more transparent form that resembled a spirit - in fact, he was just trying it at random, but he didn't expect the television technique to be successful. Looking around, he noticed that he had come to a place that resembled a mage's chamber, where the dim light shrouded in equipment large and small, and liquids or gases bubbling in crystal vessels.
It's supposed to be a strange place, but for some reason, it seems to have some inexplicable familiarity.
Several crystals hovered in front of him, outlining faces that seemed to be speaking of something, some human, some human-like, and some with three noses and six eyes, completely devoid of human form.
The spirit body listened attentively, but the other party didn't seem to give him this opportunity.
"Shut up. ”
The mage standing still in front of the psychic warlock's spirit spoke, his voice slow with exhaustion, but by the time the voice had fallen, all the noise had vanished.
"I'm not in the mood to listen to you complain, and no matter how much trouble you have, what I need is real things. Difficulty? I still need you to do things that are not hindered? You can do this position now, so that you have enjoyed enough of doing these things at this time, and now is the time to pay the price. ”
"But...... But Your Excellency, you should know that even in the Sanctuary, there is only a little bit of Star Gold, if I can transfer it at will. It won't take a day to be ...... Ahhhh......h
The screams drowned out the voices of the speakers, and even through a layer of magical conduction, the heart-rending sound of pain was terrifying.
Then the psychic mancer frowned—not from the piercing scream, but from a word that the man had inadvertently uttered before the scream.
The heavy glow of the communication crystal completely faded, and the mage gasped heavily.
He began to recite a mantra slowly, very short. But he also read slowly, and with a very complex gesture, his five fingers trembled like the limbs of an insect, and finally with a syllable he spat out, a halo of light lit up around him. The light was so bright that it almost made the dark red mage robes look like a fire.
Then he sighed. Another incantation was recited, and the light faded again, and at last he was restored to its original state, as if nothing had been born.
After a while, he examined himself for a moment, and finally reached out and pressed a crystal in front of him.
The light in the room seemed to go out suddenly.
Although in reality it was just an illusion, just a shadow converging on the crystal. But when the gaze fell on the blue-blue black that seemed to be substantial. But it doesn't seem to be an illusion, because the flickering darkness is so deep that imagination can absorb all the light, and even attract people's eyes.
"Juggernaut, I'm sorry, I failed. Thomas bowed to the darkness and whispered.
"He saw through your words? No way, my mental protection ability is very complicated. With his thin skills, it is impossible to break through. The voice in the darkness was cold and stiff, which surprised Edward, because it was vaguely the same Pandorian who had spoken to Edward before, but he was not using the language of the heart at the moment, so the voice was even more monotonous and stereotyped. The tones of each one were extremely standard, but they were even stiffer, like the voices stored in Edward's memory of a translator.
"Yes, my lord. He did not break through, but ...... He didn't pay any attention to my words, he just locked me up, and I ......"
"You ran away, you Salisa, Ella...... Well, stupid fools! Why did you get out of there?"
"But...... That little ghost didn't have the slightest interest in my surrender, he didn't even use any means to test me, he just told me ......"
"That little imp was meant to test you! No matter who you suddenly surrendered like this, no matter who you are! How could that cunning little imp not suspect it? Of course he deliberately imprisoned you and then see if you would escape! As a result, you stupid Ka Ma really escaped!"
The voice in the darkness was furious, and although his voice was still cold and emotionless, his voice had become fast, mixed with some strange characters that could not be distinguished.
Edward could only discern the character's voice as subtle and cumbersome, completely different from the way humans sounded, as if dozens of people were speaking together and overlapping, with all kinds of aftersounds vibrating.
Thomas hung his head and let the darkness pour out his anger on him, until the voice stopped, and then he spoke: "Your servant is incompetent, but the master ......"
He didn't finish his words, and the black aura was obviously not interested in listening to his next flattery:
"Forget it, it's even stranger that you don't run away in that case, because you guy did the wrong thing from the beginning, idiot, can't you just summon a few demons and let them chase you?
"I beg your pardon, my lord, I have no experience in this area......"
"Stupid. ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, but this defeat has left me humiliated, losing a floating city, and failing to fulfill my lord's orders—I can't forgive myself for this stupid act. Allow me to apologize for my own sins. ”
"It's even more useless when you're dead. The voice in the shadow grew drier, like rubbing a rusty saw blade: "Go and prepare a sacrifice for me, a little more, the best quality." ”|
"This ...... I'll prepare. However, in this case, it may not be possible to return to your side for the time being. In today's situation...... My servants were good enough to do some of the menial work for me, but I ......"
"That's enough! You don't need to think about these things!"
"Good plan ......"
The angry conversation came to an abrupt end, and when the shadow faded silently, the psychic mancer lowered his head slightly. The corners of his lips moved slightly, silently sending a thumbs up.
Thomas's approach this time must have been deliberate.
With the intelligence of a ** teacher, he could certainly guess why Edward had locked up this defector without paying attention, and even guessed what he was about to do...... But this ** division did not stay.
In fact, no matter who changes in this matter, as long as a normal person encounters the same situation as him, eighty percent of them will do this - those really stupid people who can't see the problem will not say anything, they will definitely choose to escape. But what if the problem could be discerned, who but the masochist would want to remain in the prison of the enemy, to meet the fate of torture and death?
It's not surprising that Yang Feng Yin violates the practice, as long as he is a relatively smart person. Totally would choose to do so.
But Thomas's actions don't seem to be in favor of the yang and the yin - at least any person who is in line with the yang and the yin will calculate the results to make the problems on the surface passable, otherwise the problems that are seen by others might as well just turn their faces directly, and there is no need to use such boring methods.
What does he want to do?
In his thoughts, the mage had already left the room.
Outside the room. It's a wide corridor with a portal at the end...... The smooth rocky floors, and the subtle or crude runes on the walls, stirred the hearts of the psychic warlocks who followed him.
He remembered where that strange feeling of familiarity had come from.
It's the runes here, the shape of the ceiling, and the light and shadow of the tiles, the magic on the doors...... He's been here before. He had walked through similar corridors and doorways, and there had been a mortal battle and a wonderful experience, and the reason why it felt familiar was because there was a part of his own home that was similar—
This is the Tower of Thunder.
But why did Thomas come to such a place? and from the fact that he was not a guest of temporary residence, but a real one. The top with power.
He also had a disguised identity in the Empire, or was he a spy sent to Tumini by the Empire in the first place?
Either way, it's interesting.
After two structures like this, this ** master finally appeared in a vast space...... It's a room the size of half a stadium. It's just that there is nothing in it at the moment, only a few constant dancing light techniques suspended in the space, illuminating the empty space.
But Edward's gaze was quickly drawn to the contents of the room.
On the floor of the room, there was a huge magic circle.
It was an extremely cumbersome giant formation, occupying almost the entire floor of this hall, and although judging from the dull veins of the circle on the umbra, the circle was not yet complete, but judging from the gems, magic crystals, and various precious materials nested on it, it could already be called priceless...... The silver lines that formed each vein alone were completely cast from Mithril, and if this two or three hundred feet large circle was gathered, it would take at least twenty or thirty pounds of Mithril!
Not to mention the other precious magical materials...... At the central five vein points alone, the Bechelly gems with a lake-green luster are not objects that can be measured in money.
But Edward's attraction was not for these reasons.
The shape of that circle looks ...... Very familiar.
For the magic circle, Edward didn't study much, because his attainments in magic were very bad, and he didn't even choose his favorite faction, let alone make magic items, he didn't need it, and he didn't have time to learn it, and the only few magic circles that he was familiar with were when he was building defenses in his mage tower, and he learned a little about them by doing chores with those people.
But this circle still felt familiar to him, because just a moment ago, he had just seen something very similar to it, the one that Ariel had said, the circle that could connect to the divine realm.
Although the scale of this circle seems much larger than the one, much larger, and may not be quite the same in some details, Edward can still determine its purpose, which is to connect the outer ring surfaces and create a circle of shelter.
So Thomas, on purpose.
He wanted to use this excuse to leave Pandorian Ryan, and to find a suitable reason for his actions...... And inferring from this, Pan Duo Ryan should have monitored the actions of this ** division, but he did not - at least not completely control his resistance, so when the situation changed, this ** division began to look for his own way out.
But if this retreat is a deity, then which one will it be?
