Shaman from Afar

v5 Chapter 145: First story

"So at the beginning, let's figure out one thing first."

The quiet night, the faint candlelight, the looming teenager behind the lights, raised the index finger of his right hand in front of the smiling lips:

"Dear Loren, Evil God ... what should be in your impression?"

For a moment of silence, the dark-haired wizard was lost in thought.

He met Metzka, who was "stupid" like a beast, but could control the ogre;

Have seen the body of an evil spirit without a "consciousness" and with a body;

He met with the apostle of the cult **** Lemantes, the living dead named Fauda, ​​who represented "death";

Acquainted with and acquainted with the "old knowledge" of the once black duke, the Valkyrie who was jointly worshipped by the Boi and Baien people;

I saw with my own eyes that the "Black Cross" Serior completely eroded the body, and once fancied to rule the empire, Fanesis played several times;

Of course, we must not forget a cunning and treacherous, an extremely paranoid "twin" Asriel;

They ... or what do they have in common?

"... they exist in the void, but they can exist in the world in a way that is almost" legend "." Thinking for a moment, Loren closed his brows:

"The Bayern people believe in the nobleness of glory and sacrifice, so Brunhild is the Valkyrie wielding a long spear; the tradition of blood sacrifices of the Lothal people and the deceitful goblins passed down by the mountain people, so As Riel; "

"Everyone is afraid of death, and the evil god" Lemantes "from the north seems so invincible ... and so on."

Asrell twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes blinking, and did not judge the answer.

"But all this has nothing to do with them." Legend "is like a mask, a title, or even a ... well, account." Loren raised his eyebrows and looked at the teenager across from the candlelight: "You know what I mean. "

"Of course, because we are friends, best friends." The blond teenager nodded approvingly, and seemed to enjoy this "natural" tacit understanding: "But ..."

"But ..." Legend "has nothing to do with them, or has a certain connection, but it is not their essence." The black-haired wizard turned sharply: "Like their names, these are just 'story', 'codename' And 'Legend'. "

"There are always people who worship heroes as idols, and some people believe the story is true ... Of course, maybe the story is true." Asriel leaned against the back of the chair and spread her small hands:

"The title of nobleness will give power to the people, and the noble lineage will be awe-inspiring, but in the final analysis, what is the real difference between these noble generations and the traffickers?"

Loren narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sequential order, idol worship, title and essence ...

"According to this statement, evil spirits from the void not only have to let themselves exist in a certain ... title way." Loren continued to say: "And also make others aware of its existence."

"Well ... sometimes it's actually not that troublesome." With a smooth tone, Asriel added: "There are always some very 'smart' fools who connect themselves with something objectively present in the physical world. stand up."

"Then the 'smart' fools found themselves trapped in the mud pond and couldn't pull it out ... As for the worse, um, it's probably too late to realize this."

"You mean ..." Chewing the information revealed in the blond teenager's words, Loren frowned slightly: "Legend ... Will it also affect the evil spirit itself?"

"Of course, those who are close to Zhu are black and those who are close to ink are black."

Asriel said happily, his scarlet eyes twinkled.

"But the other way around is that evil spirits, who do not rely on the material or image that exist objectively in the world, but simply rely on their own" legends ", also exist?" Loren thought thoughtfully.

"There will always be such a group of non-mainstream aliens who don't like to follow the mainstream," the blond teenager shook his head joyfully.

"So ... there are no legends of their own, not even known to the world, hardly noticed by the material world, the recognized evil spirits ... the same exist?"

Loren leaned back and leaned back on the chair.

"Yes, yeah, is it a guy who has never been seen, has never been recorded in words or rumors, and has never had any impact on the world ... shall we say that he does not exist?" Asriel The smile is even happier.

The dark-haired wizard frowned again, deep in thought.

"Now, dear Loren, you should have the most basic concept in your mind, or ... story setting." With a teasing tone, Asriel is like a good at breaking chapters and can keep readers alive. mad author:

"For the evil spirits," Legend "is just a title, a dress, a thing that is absolutely optional to them-of course, it is really a shame and embarrassment to go on the street without clothes Things, so the evil gods who appeared one by one in front of us were all dressed in clothes. "

"They are wearing colorful clothes, dressing themselves up with flowers or flowers, or looking for horror, horror, horror, ghosts, etc ... In short," clothes "are not themselves."

Asrell paused, slowing his tone like a skilled storyteller, his scarlet eyes gleaming with enchanting charm:

"So, after taking off their clothes, what is the nature of Evil God?"

Loren, who was completely "trapped" into the story, took a deep breath and pondered the courage that still didn't speak for a moment, just raised his eyebrows:

"Void ... exists?"

"This ambiguous setting is no longer popular, and now there are many party settings."

"I think readers hate the army of words more than ambiguity ..."

The dark-haired wizard shrugged, and his face didn't matter: "If you are an evil god, just tell me if I can't do it?"

"Of course Asriel can tell Loren, but ..."

With a sunny smile, Asriel scratched her head embarrassedly: "But Asriel is still a child, how could such a difficult question be answered?"

Avoid it again.

"Dear Loren, have you ever seen the sea?" The blond teenager asked seriously, and changed the subject again.

The dark-haired wizard turned his head and pretended not to bother him.

"Poor Asriel has only seen the sea once, alas, the beach, the sea breeze, the seafood ..." The blond teenager lay on the dining table in a grievous tone: "I really want to lie under the umbrella now, let The beautiful and lovely elder sister wiped olive oil to Asriel ... "

"..." Loren Turin.

"So, dear Loren, what do you like?" Asrell's eyes flickered, with some meaningful temptation: "Rum? Fruit? Sea breeze barbecue? Beautiful and lovely big sister or more lovely ... "

"and many more!"

The dark-haired wizard interrupted the teenager who wanted to continue: "You mean ... every evil spirit is different?"

"Or rather, each guy has his own unique taste." The blond teenager shrugged and grinned: "Not to mention ... Dear Loren, how do you know that Asriel did not tell you his answer?" What about? "

"Maybe ... Asriel has told you the answer in his own way."

Noting the teenager's expression, Loren nodded slightly.

That's right ... maybe even if he said it, he couldn't understand it at all.

Perhaps each evil spirit is completely unique and cannot be compared to an existence. Each is a complete and unique individual, which cannot be divided by the intersection of the intersections, and the "species" of the boundary gate category.

Each one is unique ...

Each one is a separate species ...

Only in this way can it be named after "God", because this is a group of "existences" that are completely unknown to humans, so it can only be so rough and vague.

Just because they come from a world that is completely opposite, and just because they have mastered extraordinary powers, they are likened to "gods".

No, maybe it's not just that.

As a species and a group of people, humans have their own unique way of thinking. All observations and judgments must be based on themselves-whether it is a metaphorical anthropomorphic in literary and artistic forms, or an elaboration of objective physics, all are based on their own standards To judge.

Even the wizards who have the most contact with the void are still human beings. Even if they have the same attitude towards the void at the same time as the evil gods, they simply cannot equate the answers obtained in the two ways of thinking.

This is why so many wizards, after many years of contact with the void, will fall into the madness of the main reason ... They are based on human thinking, but they deliberately understand another kind of knowledge that does not belong to them.

In this way of thinking, of course it is impossible to understand another way, another standard "language".

In order to understand the form of its existence, it must be elaborated with its own unique viewpoints and methods.

Man is the scale of all things-this sentence is conversely said that only when people take themselves as the standard can they understand the world; weak, powerful, scary, ridiculous, funny, humorous ...

All are measured by their own standards.

Wait……

Evil gods, humans, unique ways of thinking?

The legend is just the "clothes" worn by the evil spirits that they used to prove their "title"; if each of them is unique, where is their unique "place"?

To put it another way, if each of them is unique, where did they come from?

"I remember ... on the way to Dragon King City, when you rescued me from the avalanche, you said such a paragraph." Loren raised his head, his eyes were meaningful:

"If the person who has mastered the" valve "is killed, the spirit will force him into the" meditation "state and enter the void through the" valve ", will it become ... approximate your existence?"

The black-haired wizard who deliberately slowed down his speech, staring at the blonde boy at the other end of the candlelight: "That is to say, the person who opened the" valve "has become the existence of the" approximate "evil god?"

At that moment, Asriel's smile suddenly paused and was captured sharply by Loren.

"Really? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." The blonde boy's eyes slowly turned, and he explained vaguely: "Maybe, but is Ariel lying again?"

"No, it's wrong ... Only that time, you have no reason to lie." Loren stared into the scarlet eyes, carefully watching every slight change:

"Your tone was obviously meant to warn me, risking sudden death in that state."

"In other words, humans ... even if the probability is minimal ... even if no one has ever succeeded ... is it possible to become an evil spirit?"

Asriel first stunned, and then showed a sly smile.

"Good ... Dear Loren, you are starting to put yourself into the story." The smile on the blond teenager's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a completely different whisper from the beginning:

"So ... this is the beginning of our first story-Evil God, not just from the void."

"Humans, or humanoid intelligent creatures; try to make themselves evil spirits in some way or way."

At this moment, Asriel's tone and attitude have become completely different.

The elegant and simple smile became strange and gloomy.

"This will be a story full of variables and even multiple choice questions; as Asriel said-dear Loren to judge, choose which ones you are going to believe are the truth, which are just fabricated Lies to speculate on the next development. "

Scarlet eyes became sharp and breathtaking.

"Listen to every word, words, and words ... remember every detail ..."

"Because a story is finished, Asriel will not repeat it a second time."

Loren raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

"According to the settings we have just written, then from the beginning, there is a name ... well ... let's assume that he is called" Turin ", which is convenient for the next development." Asriel used a A very ambiguous tone said:

"A wizard named 'Turin' ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ who practiced in a college in Niederhogg, after a long research with other wizards, found that through the 'runes', they can be contacted To a completely opposite level of materiality, the spiritual horizon. "

"Because the 'rune' is the carrier of meaning, the presentation of spiritual externalization-this very special academic, so that two completely unfused worlds are connected together in a completely predictable way."

"But soon," Torino "discovered the flaws of this way-runes can help them to explain the world from the perspective of spiritual vision, allowing them to use extraordinary power; but as a material world, they can The upper limit is extremely limited. "

"So they want to have something that can lift all these restrictions and make material and spiritual no longer separate ..."

"The Holy Grail of the Nine Stars?" Loren interrupted coldly.

"Dear Loren ..." The innocent Asriel looked at the dark-haired wizard unexpectedly:

"I didn't expect you to get started quickly."
