"I once heard a White Tower mage talk about the Pelican Bottle." The giant in the sky said, "The multi-dimensional space flipping bottle, although it is classified as a spell, can be described in basic principles. Simple. Generally speaking, it is the use of dimensional kink to travel through two adjacent star layers. If we use a more specific metaphor, it is like a piece of paper. If we reach the other side of the paper by drilling a hole in the front, it is tunneling. principle. But in addition, by twisting and connecting the two ends of the same side of the paper, you can get to the back of the paper without making holes. Can Mr. Zhou Yu imagine this situation? Of course, after rising to the three-dimensional level The actual model is not that simple, and the star layer itself has no boundaries at all. From the current infinite geological theory provided by Central City, there is no 'end of the world' in the geographical sense, but a 'twisting point' in space. But it has been observed. In some areas, even without any tunneling methods, people can walk to another star layer like a walk. If Mr. Zhou Yu's hometown has a fairyland, a lost forest, or Legends such as the mirror world may be variations of the kink phenomenon. It is because of the observation of this phenomenon that infinite geology itself has developed from simple spatial dispersion theory to historical synchrony theory... Ah, but all this and We are no longer related. My hometown gave up on the pursuit of 'answers' long ago."
The giant nodded towards Luo Binhan. His face, which actually has no holes, has indentations that resemble a mouth and nose, making it look like he is smiling. The illusion of a creature's demeanor neutralized his powerful eyes, and even made Luo Binhan feel somewhat similar to the familiar silver stone giant. But he also noticed that the red giant's expression was actually more vivid and flexible, while Momolo, who transformed into a giant, always had a kind and stable smile. That was the difference in temperament between the two giants, or the different costumes they used. He had no idea about it.
"However, the position of this kink is not fixed. At least from the perspective of life like us living on it, it is impossible to observe the rules it moves according to. Although the kink can be 'fixed' at a certain location through specific rituals. In terms of objects, the people who actually performed the ritual did not understand the principle of this movement, so they had to treat it as a spell. The multi-directional space flipping bottle was made based on this magic phenomenon. The simple understanding is to snap many pieces of paper A chain of knots that are connected together. All these knots lead to shelters in the past, safe passages used to avoid the devouring phenomenon of Jin Enga and the intrusion of their clans - even though I say that, I don't actually use it very much. After passing the Pelican bottle, the White Tower mage who fought with me at that time was good at using illusion balls. Mr. Zhou Yu, you have also seen that thing. It looks like a very small and delicate snow globe or sandstorm ball. This kind of illusion ball , generally speaking, it will only be used as an item to kink two star layers. It must be opened by the White Tower Master using the correct ritual, and the observation of the node is also one-way. That is to say, only the side located outside the illusion ball can I saw the existence of the kink. As for how to get from the inner star layer to the outside, I think this method should be mastered inside the White Tower. Can people other than those mages do it? Until today, I have no idea about this issue. There is no answer."
Luo Binhan couldn't help but look at Asabam. He remembered the crystal ball filled with gold sand that he had seen, and described the scene of the broken crystal ball to Upsilon.
"This is something to be happy about, Mr. Zhou Yu. I think so sincerely. Even if it will bring more unexpected dangers and enemies, as long as I think of the vastness and endlessness of the world, no matter how unbreakable it seems now Maybe there will be an answer to the question in some distant place. Thinking about it this way, it is completely understandable that Xuan Hongzhi Jade wants to go to the outside world. It is better to say it is a great adventure. Even I thought about it. Went there! Ah, of course it’s actually impossible, because this is the place I want to protect... Ah, I accidentally mentioned travel. It must be because I haven’t had a holiday for too long. Sorry Zhou Mr. Yu, what were we talking about in the first place?"
"Pelican." Luo Binhan reminded. He wasn't sure if this was the focus of their conversation, but he remembered it best.
"Oh, that's right. I was talking about the Pelican Bottle just now. Although theoretically the 'Multi-directional Space Flip Bottle' can be applied to any object, in the end, in the standard spellcasting model distributed by the Galaxy Front, they still We chose to use pelicans as the prototype material. Because pelicans are very resilient and energetic creatures, they will pick up anything they see in their mouths and give babies to kind-hearted couples who have no children..."
Now Luo Binhan began to wonder if there was some deviation in the legend of his hometown. Maybe his whole life has been a giant lie about beds and kisses, and that pelican delivery is the most legitimate and natural way of reproduction in the universe. The pelican's mouth turns out to be the cradle of love, ready to package Jing Huang to an ideal pair of parents.
"It's a pity that I haven't seen it. Although I know many parents who have lost their children, and children who have lost their parents, no one rushed to save them from the pain. Regarding the symbol of the pelican, I think it is actually a complete misunderstanding - —Because in the popular myth, the pelican once tore his own chest with his beak and fed the blood to the next generation, so it is regarded as a symbol of the spirit of sacrifice and redemption. This is a story that was circulated when the Camarilla was established, so The White Tower mages who come to support the Galaxy Front all like to use pelicans as symbols of safe locations and emergency spells. I was once full of curiosity about this matter, so I asked my mage friend to know how this statement spread. . Because after all, there should be no species that will use its own flesh and blood to feed its offspring, right? This may be a bit absolute, but in most cases, eating other things than ingesting parents is the normal way for group reproduction. Could it be that Did a pelican god in ancient times do such a thing? I told him this doubt, and he told me that the legend was probably just a misunderstanding at the beginning. There was no such great pelican god. But in the past, when a pelican spit out stored food from its huge mouth, people who saw it didn't understand the pelican's feeding method, and thought it was spitting out its own internal organs for its young to eat. This misunderstanding should have been clarified early, but magic is sometimes completely unreasonable. Because many people believe that pelicans pierce blood to feed children. Over time, although the pelicans in this universe have not changed much, using pelicans The success rate of safety spells using the symbol of the pelican has actually increased. Although mages basically know what the habits of a real pelican are, in the sense of Camarilla spells, it will still be described as loving and sacrificial, just like Something saintly.”
After the giant finished speaking, he let out a long and subtle sigh.
"Isn't it ridiculous, Mr. Zhou Yu? In this sense, the pelican is no longer a pelican, but a beautiful thing full of divinity shaped by the trust of the mages. However, if we have to go back, In terms of history, pelicans are just pelicans. They are neither greater nor kinder than others, nor completely ruthless. They are just one of the ordinary creatures in the world... What I thought at that time was, in fact My species is also the same as that of a pelican."
