Three Philosophical Questions for Travelers

Dara Kasha lifted the clouds to reveal the passage inside, and said to him: "Let's go, this time it's really right."

So they went into the cloud.

"If the enemy searches along the clues, they will only find the man-eating mouth, and think that it is the end point. You..." Dalakaxia pondered for a moment, "I don't know your name yet."

"Fassnut," he replied.

"Who is your father?"

"My father's name is Xoroda, you may know him."

"Thoroda, oh." Dara Kasha nodded slightly, "He is a devout believer, I remember him."

Yes, thought Fassnut, but he was the one who made me drink the blood of the Fiend—should I hate him or love him?

They didn't talk about it again.Without talking all the way, they came to the hall in the clouds after walking for a long time.Dara Kasha said: "You may be wondering why the temple is so hidden——Fasnat, I can tell you all the secrets here, and I can teach you magic and solve your doubts, but The premise of all this is that you want to become one of us."

Karimus had told me the same thing.Fassnut has been lied to once, and he doesn't want to repeat a mistake, "I have sworn allegiance to someone, and I can no longer be loyal to you, unfortunately." He said so.

"It is an honor to be loyal to the nobles, but it is even more honorable to contribute to this world." Dalakasha pushed open the door made of clouds, and Fasnat's eyes suddenly opened up. It was a hall that could accommodate 500 people. Open and spacious.

There are statues of three-person-high classical heroes on the left and right rows of the main hall; Fasnat recognizes a few: for example, the founder of the Grand Knights Club—the Lord of the Sighing Sword, Bia Lastor from the north; for example, Wine City The night god enshrined--the blood prince with a hideous face; the king of the Gulf who slaughtered the devil--the king of foreign countries in the East, Wen Ting Li.

There are also some that he can't name: such as the southern Valkyrie who cut her own breasts; such as the sword god enshrined by the Murphys; and the seven-color lord of the Western Regions...

The movements and expressions of these statues are lifelike, as if they are still alive.

At the end of the main hall are the totems of the three major demon kings: the giant with nine heads and eighteen hands - the commandant;

They gradually walked towards the three big demon kings.Fassnut found that this hall is very strange, it looks like a rectangular space on the surface.But the further you go in, the more distorted the space is, and the bigger the three big demon kings at the end.At first, in his eyes, the three great demon kings were at most one person taller; but after walking a few steps, he had to look up; when he reached the end, the bodies of the three great demon kings were already taller than the sun, even if he looked up, he could only look up. Can see the devil's knees.

Standing at the feet of the devil, he couldn't help feeling afraid.At this moment, Dara Kasha said: "You and I are still mortals after all, and mortals should be in awe of this world."

Fassnut didn't understand what Dara Kasha meant. He looked at the high priest, hoping that the wise old man could give her an answer.

"Once the gods who created the world are angry, everything will cease to exist. Four mass extinctions, four glorious civilizations, none of which can preserve itself. Compared with the four great ancient races, we are just a group of ants, we The gap with them——" the priest raised his hand, "just like the gap between us and this huge statue."

"Do you want to talk about the fifth mass extinction?" Fassnut asked.

"Yes," he said. "There are indications that the fifth mass extinction has begun. To stop this, Fasnat, I need people—lots and lots of capable people!" Dara Kasha Clenching his fists, the temperature around him suddenly rose, and then he took a deep breath, and the temperature dropped again.

Fassnut can't be indifferent to this kind of thing, but he won't trust others either. "How can I trust you?" he asked.

"You just need to open your eyes and look at the world to understand." He drew a rune, and immediately the clouds under his feet rose and condensed into a ball of water.Fassnat saw that the water polo was like a witch's crystal ball, revealing an image—on top of it was a magnificent castle, and a very strong man stood on the top of the castle.Behind him are four strong men carrying weapons for him: a huge trident.He looked towards the north, and there was ferocity in his eyes.

The picture is blurry, and then clear again.This time, the picture shows a castle built on a high mountain. The cliff on the top of the mountain is like an eagle's beak. It is the imperial city of the northerners - Eagle Head City.Fasnat saw the young king sitting on the throne.With a beauty in his arms and a crystal crown on one side, he was laughing out loud at the antics of the jesters.

The screen switched quickly, and many scenes flashed before his eyes - the poisonous swamp was bubbling, greedy pirates took gold coins to bathe; necromancers summoned monsters in the sewers, red flowers bloomed all over the desert; werewolves and bats ruled In the dark night, slaves slaughter nobles.

Fierce monsters climbed to the ground, giant dragons came down to the world; orcs, giants, underground people... the torrent of iron and steel composed of countless alien races swept everything.

The picture suddenly disappeared, but the terrifying scene still lingered in Fasnat's mind.At this moment, the priest roared, saying, "Our time is running out! Fasnat, make up your mind!"

The sound oscillated in his mind, and it was played repeatedly together with the picture, forming a shocking echo. "Make a decision quickly, make a decision quickly, make a decision, make a decision, decide, decide, decide, decide..."

"I promise you!" He blurted out, and at this moment those visions disappeared from his mind.He suddenly came to his senses and said, "I..." He couldn't go back on his word, "but I have already pledged my allegiance to others..."

"This is not a conflict, Fasnat! I won't let you hurt your master, I just want you to help me get rid of the vicious demons and the incarnations of the three great demon kings."

He has no reason to refuse.So he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise."

Dara Kasha smiled gratifiedly, and said, "Now, let me tell you what's going on - Fasnat, we have a lot to talk about, where do we start?"

Fassnut said: "Let's start from the very beginning—creator, alchemy, and mass extinction. How much do you know?"

"Okay then, let's say Creator God. But this time we can't call it that, this person—this thing has another name. I translated dozens of classical languages, and finally settled on this name—" he wrote After typing a string of letters, he said in a deep voice:

"World lock."

Fassnut reveals the truth, six

Fassnut reveals the truth, six

"World lock, there are records about it in the ruins of every civilization, but each record is different. Some people say it is the father of the king of gods, the omnipotent creator; some say it is the creator of the world. The soul of God has boundless power; some say it is the incarnation of heaven and earth, some say it is the will of the universe—oh, universe, this word also comes from the East, referring to the sum of time and space.”

Fassnut listened carefully, keeping every word in his heart.

"But we still don't know what it is. The only thing that can be sure is that the four mass extinctions are all related to it." Dara Kasha sat on the toes of the commandant, with his head down, his face full of sorrow.Only then did Fassnat feel that he was an old man.

"The world lock was dissatisfied with the race it created, so it ordered extinction—but how to satisfy it? No one knows. Sheng Gu, refining demons, sea people and tree elves, none of them escaped catastrophe. "

Fassnut said: "As far as I know, we are far less great than the ancient races. If they can't escape this disaster, what should we do?" He sat cross-legged on the clouds, which were soft, Like velvet.

"Don't give up hope, my friend. Mass extinction is both a disaster and a test. It is said in ancient literature: If a race can resist the disaster from the Creator God, then they are qualified to survive in this world forever—since it is a test , then there must be a way to pass. Even the God of Creation will not design a cumbersome but unsolvable puzzle, because it is meaningless. Although we don’t know the solution, we can try it slowly, because mass extinction is not It happened overnight."

"Didn't it happen overnight?" Fasnat asked.

Dara Kasha nodded, and said: "Yes, the first four extinctions were a long process, decades or even hundreds of years, we still have a little time to think about how to deal with this disaster - in the past few years I After traveling all over the five places and seven clans (Note 1), looking for all the great prophets, I came to a conclusion."

Note 1: The seven ethnic groups in the five regions refer to the Gulf region, the northern border, the Western Regions, the southern forest and the central-southern wilderness; the seven ethnic groups refer to the northern ethnic group (that is, the main ethnic group of the four principalities), the southern archipelago, the Murphys, and the orcs , six-armed giants, underground people and despicable races.

"The fifth mass extinction comes from ourselves." Dara Kasha said.

"Ourselves?" Fasnat looked at Dara Kasha suspiciously, "You mean we are suicidal?"

"Yes, it is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. This is the test given to us by the world lock - since it is a human factor, there is a possibility of avoiding it. What will this disaster be? A protracted war? A massacre A mad king? Now all the signs have surfaced, and disaster is about to come——Fasnat, are you from the Gulf?"

"Yes." He returned.

Dara Kasha nodded slightly, he stood up, looked towards the bay in the northeast direction, and said: "The disaster started from the bay, my soldiers sent a message a few days ago, telling me that Grand Duke Trident has passed away , and his son: Bagu Kahn will inherit the title. But obviously this guy is not satisfied with the title, he also wants to be the king."

Be king?The king of the Gulf, or the king of the four duchies?Fassnut felt worried for a while, and he asked: "Then what are we going to do? Assassinate the little trident?"

"No, we can't break the existing order of this world. Fassnat, you have to know that this world has its correct laws of operation-the sky is above, the earth is below, the tide rises and falls, the alternation of day and night, the cycle of life and death... There are also objective laws in the development of human beings. If you break this law rashly, it will only accelerate the collapse of the world, so we just need to let the world return to the laws it should be—you have to listen carefully to the next words.”

"Yeah." Fassnut nodded vigorously.

Dara Kasha raised his arms, facing the three huge statues, and said: "I want to tell you, the three ancient demon kings, they are still haunting the world - the preceptor, the bewitcher and the fraudster, they hide Plotting evil in the world. These ancient demon kings have the ability to disrupt the 'rules', and it is because of their existence that this world is gradually collapsing."

Fassnat raised his head and looked up at the three statues. The three demon kings were so huge that it was frightening.He asked Dara Kasha, "Are they our enemies?"

"It's not just them."

Dalakasha drew a perfect circle in the air with his hand, and within the circle, a vortex-like air spiral emerged.There are several spots of light on it, flowing in a spiral, but it will be interrupted every time a spot of light is reached.

"Our world is alive, it has the ability to repair itself, and the world is locked in the dark to maintain this world, ordinary natural disasters and man-made disasters are within its tolerance. However, the power of the three demon kings exceeds the world The scope of the lock's ability. Therefore, the world cannot rely on its own power to repair this distortion of fate. At this time, the world lock will use the power of other worlds to repair all of this—"Dara Kasha pointed to the astrolabe blip, say,

"This is the alien traveler."

Fassnut has heard such legends—besides our world, there are countless other worlds, each of which is different, and they are hidden in our shadows, invisible and intangible, but real exists.

"The world lock selects those people who can just make up for the cracks in fate from other worlds. It allows these people to travel to our world and put them in the most suitable position, so that they can make up for the cracks in the world. The behavior of the traversers will To a certain extent, the troubles of the three major demon kings can be counteracted, so that the world can be restored. But as long as the three major demon kings are still there, the chaos will not stop--the clothes can be patched if they are torn, but they cannot be mended infinitely. If that is the case, Eventually the piece of clothing will disappear. Our world is the same, if we can't stop the chaos, it will collapse sooner or later. At that time, the world lock will try to restart the world-that is, usher in mass extinction.

The astrolabe rotated rapidly, and the spots of light turned into stars. Dara Kasha's eyes widened suddenly, and he said loudly: "So, as long as we can get rid of all the devils and all the traversers, then the world will return to order! Fass Nat, this is our task! The three major demon kings and the time traveler are not easy things, as long as you can find or kill any one of them, it is a great achievement - as long as you can do it, I will satisfy any of your needs. Require."

Fassnet was tempted, "I want to eliminate the evil spirits in this world, can you be satisfied?"

"If the three major demon kings die, the ominous demons will naturally disappear, but as long as they are alive, there will be more and more ominous demons."

"Okay, I promise you!"

"Very good, very good, very-good-!" Dara Kasha said loudly, his voice hovering and echoing in the sky, and then the color of the sky changed suddenly, the white clouds under their feet turned black, and the clouds Lightning roared; in an instant, Fasnat was surrounded by electric light, and he felt numb all over.At this time, lightning climbed up his body like a snake, "What is this?" He screamed.

The electric snake surged, stimulating every inch of his nerves, he felt his chest burn, and all the electric light gathered on his chest.There was a sharp pain like a needle prick in his heart, the electric current sizzled, his scalp was numb, and he felt that his body was no longer his own.He heard Dara Kasha chanting some kind of furious incantation, but he couldn't make it out—there were crackling electric sparks in his veins, in his ears, in his eyes, in his brain.

Just when he felt that his soul was about to fly away, the lightning disappeared.

Fassnat found that his shirt had been burned, his chest was red, and there was a dark blue rune on it. "What's this?" he asked.

"The rune of the soul, with this, you can identify who is the time traveler and who is the three major demon kings - remember, every time you get rid of a demon king, you have to kill another time traveler, and vice versa. If If you only kill one of them, the imbalance in the world will be even worse!"

Fassnut stroked the rune and asked, "Am I one of you now?"

"Yes. Next, you will receive various trainings, which will make you stronger--in addition, you also need to have a new name. From now on, you must not tell anyone your real name, or the devil will follow you Cursed upon your name—make yourself a new one."

Fassnut is not good at naming things. "Then please give me a new name, Lord Dara Kasha."

Dara Kasha stared at him for a long time, then suddenly said: "Your dual knives are very sharp."

"Yes, my lord."

"Then, let's call you Razor." Dara Kasha said, "From now on, there will be no Fasnat in the world, only a warrior named Razor."

"Yes, my lord," said Razor.
