Chapter 110: Which Foot Is the Crystal Slipper? (Add. 3/3)
After a night of fierce fighting, there were many less familiar faces in the entire Holy New Town.
Wright's move can be said to greatly reduce the future garbage cleaning work.
But even then, it should not be taken lightly.
After dawn, Wright transferred the black-clothed crowd who had been relatively idle recently, and once again encircled and suppressed the heretics and dark tribes in the Holy New City.
The black-clothed people who have been holding back for a long time are happy now.
Although the days off are very leisurely, watching your job being snatched away is a different state of mind.
As an employee of the company, it is not scary to take a long vacation.
The terrible thing is that after my long vacation, the company is running as usual, and even the benefits are better.
Well, it's fun.
So this time, the black-clothed people did a very hard job.
Wright took Lilith and the others back home, and both Emily and Flandor made great strides in this battle, much to Wright's relief.
And because the witch's puzzle was solved, there were clues to save Joanna, so that Wright's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
When he got home, he fell asleep, and took the other three beauties back to their respective rooms to continue to catch up on sleep.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon, when Wright woke up, washed himself up, and ran downstairs to get some food.
Maybe it was because his movement downstairs was a bit loud, and the three beauties also woke up and went downstairs in turn.
The four of them were in the restaurant, chatting with each other and having breakfast with the sunset.
"Speaking of which, I have a question."
Emily was eating and suddenly put the cutlery on the table, staring at Wright very seriously.
"You say, Cinderella's crystal slipper, is it the left foot or the right foot?"
Wright rolled his eyes: "Does it matter?" What are you doing with fairy tales? ”
"It's not! Isn't this research? ”
"Whether it's a fairy tale, a legend, or a myth or a fable, it's all about understanding the core spirit.
To comprehend that, hazy beauty.
If you have to analyze it sentence by sentence with the attitude of scientific research, it is purely to find yourself unhappy.
Wouldn't it be nice to have that strength to go out and unload the car? And make a lot of money! ”
Emily was unconvinced: "Why can't fairy tales be studied in depth?" ”
"Oh, you want to study, then I'll ask you a question. If you answer, I admit that fairy tales should be taken seriously. ”
When Emily heard this, she suddenly came to her senses: "Come on! I have already read all versions of fairy tales by heart! I promise, answer all your questions. ”
Wright rolled his eyes, "That's good." In Cinderella's story, the Godmother of Magic once told Cinderella that after twelve o'clock, all magic will be invalid and you will change back to your original self.
Right! ”
"That's right!"
"Then here's my question. At twelve o'clock, Cinderella fled in a hurry, leaving behind a crystal slipper.
Excuse me, why didn't the Crystal Slipper disappear at twelve o'clock when the magic of the Godmother of Magic failed? ”
Emily froze in place, her cherry mouth opening and closing like a stranded fish.
"Can't answer, do you?"
Wright forked the steak in front of her: "That's the price of provoking me." ”
"But I think whether it's the left foot or the right foot still has a lot to do with the plan to save Joanna this time."
Emily is unwilling to let her steak be snatched away, and is still arguing with reason.
"Imagine that the Tower of Truth must have a crystal slipper in its hand right now.
If you make a shoe that is exactly the same as what they have, then there can only be one crystal slipper in the world.
Either theirs fails, or ours fails.
But by chance, we got together with them. At that time, it will probably be a pair of crystal slippers. ”
Wright glanced at Lilith, who nodded approvingly
"Wright, you're right, although Emily is a little dumber on weekdays, she can always think of some details that we don't notice when it matters."
After receiving the compliment, Emily was even more excited.
"One more thing! Are you ready to make the crystals of the crystal slipper? ”
Wright was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it easy to find a random piece of crystal?" There should be one on the Chamber of Commerce, and I'll ask Grande to send it to me when I get back. ”
"No, no, no, no!"
Emily waved her hand repeatedly: "You men are just careless!" Recall it! It's a pair of magic crystal slippers!
Therefore, it must be carved with magic crystals. Ordinary crystals, although precious enough, do not conform to the description of the original text. ”
Hearing this, Flandor was also very curious: "Do you need to be so close to the original book?" ”
Wright groaned: "It's really needed, and the more it fits, the better."
You probably don't know that the mechanism of the so-called witch is actually somewhat similar to the blessing device. ”
Flandor shook her head: "I...... I've only heard of the Hallows Weapon. ”
"I don't blame you, because the Zhuqi is already a thing from the age of magic, the age of witchcraft totems.
You've heard of totem poles, right? That's a very typical kind of blessing.
The principle of the blessing device is actually the same as the belief required by the gods.
When people firmly believe in something, there are small forces that we call willingness.
The power of the will is an important part of the power of faith.
The relationship between the two of them is like water and juice.
During the period of witchcraft before the Age of Magic, people worshipped not only gods, but also strange things.
For example, a large tree with an unusual shape, a strange rock with a strange shape, or a river that nourishes an entire tribe.
When there are more believers and the belief lasts for a long time, the will power will gather to a certain critical value, and quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
These things that are believed in really gain some divinity and divine power.
Some shamans discovered this and deliberately led the people to believe in some designated instruments or symbols.
After years of accumulation, these utensils will become blessing vessels, with rough divine power and divine power.
And those symbols will become the totem of the tribe, and the carving on the totem pole will also bring great power. ”
After listening to Wright's explanation, both Frando and Emily looked suddenly enlightened. Seeing this, Wright couldn't help but glare at Emily.
"Forget about Flandelle, Emily, why are you also the first time you heard of it? You're also a magician, the disciple of the Sage of Reason.
How can you not know this kind of common sense knowledge in the wizarding world? ”
Emily's face was full of grievances: "This, the teacher really didn't teach me."
So, as you say.
Those fairy tales have been circulated among the people for so many years, and they have always been accumulating wishes for witches.
The closer it is to the image of a fairy tale that the general public believes, the more willing power it can mobilize for the corresponding image.
Is that so? ”
Wright munched on the steak and didn't forget to explain how it worked.
"That's right. So for Cinderella. Once she puts on the crystal slipper, it means that she has found her prince.
Then, her story will come to a happy end, and naturally there will be no need for magic to help her be happy.
Therefore, the crystal slipper has the ability to take away Cinderella's magic. ”
Emily pinched her chin, "But I always thought, what's wrong?"
Are we ignoring something? Or, let's watch the fairy tale king a few more times today! ”
"Okay! Then this daunting task is up to you. Today, the three of us went to the gap of dreams to prepare the raw materials for the manufacture of crystal shoes. ”
As soon as she heard that she could enter the gap between dreams, Emily immediately forgot about reading.
"Are you going to dream again? Are you sure? That's great!
I haven't made much progress since the last time I completed the Hyperfusion Form. If I could feel that state again, maybe I could do it in the real world! ”
Wright gave her a big roll of the eyes: "You're really going to dream, aren't you?"
If superfusion is so easy to achieve, do I still need to train you so hard?
You can only achieve overclocking now, and you haven't achieved the two stages of overclocking!
I can't even climb, so I think I'm going to fly?
First promoted to the Holy Rank, and then learned the superbody. When you are promoted to Legendary, you will consider excess.
Then ......"
Emily suddenly stood up: "And then?" Isn't the legend the strongest? ”
"Who told you?"
Wright raised a finger: "Above the legend, there is a great realm. ”
Flandor immediately raised his hand: "I know, it's the demigod realm!" The Pope told us during a casual conversation. ”
"Well, it's true that demigods are also above legends, but it's not the same path as the one I was talking about.
To become a demigod, one must complete the anointing ritual.
Drink wine representing the blood of God, eat bread representing the flesh of God, and receive another baptism to become a demigod with a holy vessel blessed by God.
But there is another way, and that is to achieve it completely on your own, without relying on any gods! ”
Wright pointed to the roof: "That's the Firmament-level powerhouse." Under the dome, the top of all beings!
It is said that the founder of the Tower of Truth was a mysterious sky-level archmage.
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of this person are now unknown. ”
Emily looked at Wright adoringly, "Then have you reached the Firmament level?" ”
"That's right."
“…… You weren't beaten to death, not because you spoke nicely, but because no one beat you! ”
"I know, I'm proud!"
Wright got up and began to clean up the dishes, and Emily quickly stood up as well.
"I'll do it! I'll do it! ”
"You, don't touch! You can't even wash the dishes, so don't blow up my baby kitchen again! ”
"Then I have to learn!"
"Next time I bought wooden dishes, I'll let you practice again."
"That'...... Can you let me follow me into the dream world? ”
Wright was a little speechless: "I thought you had changed sex."
Okay, but I'm going to throw you into the abyss of nightmares! Don't you want to experience the state of hyper-fusion? Just experience enough! ”
