Sword and Magic and Taxi

There were once three mages, known as the Trio. One of them, Lynch, could become a god but gave up. Instead, he studied the concept of god as a subject. There was one named Siegel, who was proficient in elemental energy and creation, and later became interested in creating life and souls. There is also a mysterious guy, who is speculated to be very proficient in hiding and deceiving, and is generally called the Black Mysterious Man. Together, the three people discovered some laws of the universe by studying the fragments of a creator god.

The old man touched his beard and said slowly: These three people are very smart. The universe is infinite in every concept, but they used these laws to create a certain reference point, first fixing their own state, and then The entire coordinate system was established on it, forming the basis of the Alliance of Rings. From that time on, space travel and time travel had a useful reference point. Events, fate, and some metaphysical forces would not affect the entire world. The universe poses a deadly threat.”

Although I don't understand much, this should be a good thing, right? Zhao Mai said.

In general, yes. The purpose of the three of them is actually very clear, which is to collect sparks of wisdom from all corners of the universe, continuously deepen their understanding of all things, and improve themselves as much as possible. You also know that when small conditions change, At that time, the results are likely to change dramatically. Even if the entire universe started from the same point - let alone not - there are countless branch worlds. This is exactly the goal of the Explorers of the Ring Alliance, and there is enough for everyone to explore. .”

Of course, every world is equal and has the same possibility of strong people appearing. For example, people who can control time can protect a timeline; if they can take into account the different results caused by a butterfly's wings at the same time, they can protect Multiple lines of cause and effect. The higher the level of understanding and control, the larger the realm, and the person is called a transcendent, a saint, or a god, in short, various names.

Back to the trio. Each of the three has their own division of labor. Lynch studies gods, divine systems, world will, etc. This kind of power that affects huge results in the future through small events is his research direction. Siegel concentrates on research The universal law that creates the world, the passage you travel through is created by him with the power of universal, pure elements. The black mysterious man only concentrates on doing one thing, which is to hide and protect the truth of the trio, even if he has it The power across time, space and cause and effect can no longer erase the research results of the trio, which is also the fundamental guarantee that the Ring Alliance can be established.

Having said this, the old man stopped and gave Zhao Mai time to understand. Objects in three dimensions are clearly visible at a glance, but it is another level of difficulty to see the entire process from birth to death of an object from the perspective of time development. If you add in the various consequences caused by the possibility, then only the strong who have learned the power of destiny can touch it. But if all matter and energy, from the beginning without boundaries to the end without end, are the collection of all possibilities and possibilities, it would be immeasurably large, and the ultimate secret of the universe is hidden in it.

Zhao Mai clarified his thoughts and asked: Then is the world I went to real or fake? Why do I see it in novels, games or film and television works?

All worlds are equal and are true in a certain dimension. The trio founded the Alliance of Rings for the spark of wisdom and built a channel for this. Since there is a channel, a situation will inevitably arise The occurrence of: The sparks of one world can affect other worlds, be received by other wisdom, turn into inspiration, and become works. But have you ever found that what you read and what you experience personally are not exactly the same? The same world will also There are countless versions, and inspiration is inherently vague, and will be artistically processed when it is turned into a work. Only personal experience and understanding are the most important, and I believe that a book is worse than no book at all.

Zhao Mai nodded. Whether it is Golarion or Atas, there is also a sense of strangeness despite the familiarity, but only changes will bring freshness, and differences will bring fun. What about the will of the world? Why do we need to protect major historical events?

The equality of the world does not mean that they are all the same. Some worlds do not have enough resources to give birth to transcendent beings, or the opportunity is lost by coincidence, so the time and event collection in which they are located become the target of research. Those worlds that caused the birth of transcendent beings are not The key event point is the so-called major historical event. As long as it is completed, it is impossible for a transcendent person to appear, then there will be no gatekeeper in this world to enter. If historical events are interfered with and they fail to be achieved, it means that this world will be in the future At some point, a transcendent person may be born. The transcendent person is likely to go back in history to clean up outsiders, so the time traveler must leave immediately, otherwise it will be wiped out by cause and effect.

Then wouldn't it be dangerous to travel through time, especially if you meet someone who deliberately destroys history?

Normally no one does such a dangerous thing, and this kind of thing is actually very difficult. It is not as simple as imagined, nor can it be destroyed by saying a few words or doing a few things. However, Naikos has the ability. , sometimes they do deliberately destroy nodes and cause a certain world to collapse. They were originally established by devouring the remains of the dead world, and now they have the ability to transcend time and cause and effect, and the dinner plate is equivalent to getting bigger.

Naikos Temple? Zhao Mai asked.

That's exactly what they claim to be called.

No one stopped them? Zhao Mai was a little confused: They once sent people to arrest my friend and asked him to do some research.

The policies of the Ring Alliance are constantly changing. Sometimes they are tougher, and sometimes they don't care. Nekos can't shake the Ring Alliance. He can only bully some small organizations. However, the earth is safe. That's it. You can be assured.

Because you're here! Zhao Mai quickly flattered him: With you in charge, how can Naikos dare to come over, otherwise he will be slapped to death in seconds?!

I'm not good at fighting. The old man said with a rare embarrassment: Although he is a transcendent person, everyone has his own strengths. My skills are very simple. He threw the tea cup to the ground and broke it with a crash, and the tea was everywhere. splash. Then the old man shook his index finger, and the fragments and tea returned to their original appearance on the table.

Going back in time? Wow, that's amazing. There's no sign of any damage.

The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away. Not only in terms of time, but also in higher dimensions. I am not good at fists and kicks, but no matter what others do, they are not good at it. The effect, if it happens, means it doesn’t happen, and no matter how hard you try, you will get nothing.”

So the earth is very safe? No matter how hard you try, nothing will happen? No wonder Zhong Jian said in vain that he is not afraid of the time-travelers causing trouble!

This has nothing to do with safety. If everything develops according to my ideas, and I start over if I am not satisfied, then the world will be ruined, and there will never be any sparks of real wisdom. The Tao follows nature, and only by doing nothing can we Taste the essence of the universe. Of course, other saints also have their own ideas, but fortunately there are almost infinite worlds in the universe, so just play with it.

It's too exaggerated. My world view has been completely overturned. Zhao Mai scratched his head vigorously, then rubbed his face vigorously to calm himself down: Well, talking about saints is too far away now, and I am just a little ant. .I can only ask, is there anything I can do for you?

You are special. On the one hand, you can steal information about other people's space channels. Although there are some methods that can achieve the same effect, they have never appeared on mortals. Why did the Alliance of Rings assign this trait to you? , I'm a little curious. On the other hand, currently, there is no one in the relevant ministries here who can travel to fantasy worlds. Of course, there are other relevant ministries-like organizations on the earth, and they have talents in this field. As a time-travel guide, you yourself The knowledge and insights you have, or the sparks of inspiration you have received, will give you a certain tendency in the world. Going with the trend will get twice the result with half the effort; going against the trend will get twice the result with half the effort. On the one hand, the cost is high, and on the other hand, the effect of learning and research is also low. Okay. The trio grew up slowly from the magical world. Although the paths ultimately lead to the same destination, if we can study how they did it, it will also be very beneficial to understanding the rules of the Alliance of Rings.

Okay, since we all drive to take orders anyway, it's good to have stable customers! It's changed from an express train to a special car! Zhao Mai agreed with a smile.

Zhong Jianbai will help you with daily matters. If you have any questions, you can ask me, but you have to solve everything by yourself. The world does not need a second old man, what it needs is colorful, you understand?

Well, I was just wondering if I could learn some skills in drawing talismans, refining alchemy, and cultivating immortals.

Well, I know, but as long as you study hard, you will reach the same destination through different paths. I hope that everyone can have their own development, especially I hope that you can learn more, think more, and understand more. Don't waste your talents and opportunities, but don't waste your talents and opportunities either. Time is wasted in extravagant pursuits. Besides, I have never had any intention of recruiting disciples. You should know this, right? The old man rubbed his hands, and somehow took out a heavy gourd from under the stone table and threw it to Zhao Mai: Seeing a junior like you, why shouldn't I give you something good? This is a gourd of nine-turn golden elixir. Let's eat and play with it.

That's what monkeys ate back then, right? The dead were brought back to life by eating one, the living were raised to immortality, and the immortals ate the kind that would live as long as the sky? The Great Sage Qitian was thrown away by you because he stole this and ate it randomly. Did you refine it in the Bagua furnace? Zhao Mai shook the gourd, and there was a rattling sound inside. It was estimated that there were no less than a few hundred pieces.

Haha, you can have fun eating it. It's guaranteed to be delicious, but there are no more additional functions. The old man laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. That monkey head is good at not imitating me, but instead imitating the navy to hack me. I don't Throw him into the furnace and burn him. Am I such a cruel person?

Is there really a Monkey King?! Zhao Mai's eyes lit up.

Do you think there is only one earth? The old man shook his head. You still have a long way to go. Only by working hard can you transcend one day, and then you can truly see the magnificence of the universe.

Okay! There will be a day!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The old man said with a smile.
