Luo Binhan glanced at the snowflake crystal ball. He felt a little surprised and had no impression of this small decoration filled with white crystals. It wasn't until he noticed the miniature penguin model adorning the bottom of it that he remembered it was something ∈ had given him, a snow vase filled with planetary cryogen. ∈ At one time, it was decorated with dead dinosaurs, until Luo Binhan severely condemned this vicious anti-dinosaur behavior.
He pushed the hemispherical snow vase away and watched the frost-like planet cryogens falling inside. Within ten seconds he lost interest and grabbed the small square box in his hand. He watched as its surface shone brightly, as if surrounded by countless electric spark symbols. He opened the square box, took out the thirty-sided dice inside, and tossed two of them out of boredom.
"You bought a lot of strange things, Mr. Zhou Yu."
Upsilon sat nearby, looking sideways at the dice in his hand with one eye. Luo Binhan asked hopefully: "Do you think this dice has any other special functions?"
"Hmm... If it's called a truly random dice, I think it would probably be immune to some interference from uneven quality or mental power. In this way, no one can cheat when throwing the dice. Isn't it great? I heard that Bai Bai The tower mages have always wanted to use this technology to replace the voting rights of the summit meeting, and they said this is obviously a more logical approach."
Luo Binhan slowly turned his head and looked at him. Upsilon blinked and asked cheerfully: "What's wrong, Mr. Zhou Yu?"
"What do you think of my ball?" Luo Binhan pointed at the snow vase and said, "Is it possible that it is connected to another world?"
"Isn't that a magic prop? No, don't mistake the steps, Mr. Zhou Yu. The essence of the snow vase spell is to circle two real worlds and then connect them. It is the same as the principle of the pelican bottle. It’s the same thing. It’s not really about creating a world inside a sphere.”
Luo Binhan stuffed the dice back into the square box with regret. He began to play with the box, watching the glassy ground beneath him rise and fall in the sea of sand. After a while, he noticed a black metal ring hanging on Upsilon's belt.
"Did you buy that?" he asked.
"Ah, are you talking about this? Exactly, it is the trump card I got from the White Tower supply point."
Upsilon still held the lighter and fairy wand in his hands. He touched the ring with his elbow and moved it closer to Luo Binhan.
"This is very convenient and just what I need. Because wasn't I cursed by that guy? Anyone with a guilty conscience will continue to show scars on their body, although there are many ways to suppress it. To prevent the injury from worsening, it would also require constant loss of strength. So I bought this thing. Its main function is to continuously stimulate people's inner anger while suppressing all other emotions - and at the same time It also comes with a garbage destruction function!”
Luo Binhan thought this sounded really good, and he might as well buy one and hang it on his body so that he could get angry in time in any embarrassing situation. He asked: "What is this thing called? Can I go to the White Tower and buy one?"
"Hey, of course, you can just look for it in the White Tower's sales catalog. The name of this thing is also easy to remember, it's called the Angry Circle."
Luo Binhan thought for a while and asked in a seductive way: "Do you think the word 'dark' sounds better than 'angry'?"
"No way! The word "darkness" doesn't sound good anywhere. It means angry, angry ring. This name is written in the product catalog."
Luo Binhan no longer argued with Upsilon on this issue. Deep down he felt sorry for the other person, because a serious and noble person should not have such naming taste. That's inappropriate, just like a police officer shouldn't take the opportunity to slap him while he's hallucinating.
"I didn't think you were angry," he said a little strangely. "When you were holding the ring, it didn't seem to affect you that much."
"Yes, although I am trying my best to restrain myself, in order to reduce the impact of the curse, it is necessary to arouse the same amount of anger. Isn't it said that 'impulse is half the crime'? As long as you are under that kind of excitement, you will feel guilty. The understanding disappears. Morality is such a fragile thing. However, there are ways to restrain it. At this time, think more about how your important people will view this matter. If it will make them feel pain You can’t do it under any circumstances.”
Upsilon shook his palms. His eyes and the lighter in his hand swayed in front of Luo Binhan. At that moment, Luo Binhan felt that Upsilon was about to say something, so he hurriedly, pretending to be unintentional, turned his attention to Asabam. He also had a very good reason to give himself: countless past cases have proven that this dwarf guest is inhumane. She took out his stomach, snatched his dagger, attacked the fallen man, and what was even more outrageous was that she looked at his A joke made by a dead friend, isn’t this even more unforgivable than Bang Bang? If he hadn't monitored her for a second, the bad guy would have transformed into a shadow wand and killed both him and Upsilon.
"You have a bit of an imagination for your species," Garfield said.
Don't talk nonsense, Luo Binhan said. What do you know about my species? You’ve also read a little bit of my thoughts, but you haven’t seen the collection on my phone yet.
He looked at Asabam with eager eyes, and indeed he dug out an ulterior secret from her expression: she was staring sternly in a certain direction, and that expression was a precursor to murder. Luo Binhan used his intelligence to make a judgment and determined that the direction of her gaze was the black ring on Upsilon's waist. This female killer obviously wanted to rob Upsilon's magic props to reduce her burden.
"What do you want to do?" he warned sternly, "You can't change even if I give it to you, understand? You lack a friend who swears that he will never help her again."
Asabam didn't even move his eyes. She seemed to have given up controlling Luo Binhan to shut up, and let him fly into a free-flying little dragonfly. Luo Binhan was somewhat concerned about her chest, but there were no traces of any wounds there - he didn't know what he was thinking about at the time, and he even doubted whether he had really done it. But he didn't want to appear that he was not sure about this matter at all, so he continued to glare at Asabam to prove that he fully understood all this. He followed Asabam's line of sight and found that he was wrong again. Asabam didn't even look at Upsilon. She was staring at the ground in front of Upsilon, where there were only ear picks and snow vases. It couldn't be clearer what her goal is.
"Do you have earwax?" Luo Binhan said. He weighed whether he was willing to rent the ear pick to her at a reasonable price.
Asabam finally looked at him. The expression on her face relaxed, and she laughed at him coldly and very hard.
"Cursed Frost," she said.
"Planet refrigerant." Luo Binhan was determined not to get into trouble with her.
"The dragon invented it."
"What? Are you asking me for royalties?" Luo Binhan said immediately. He didn't get a reply, but he felt something was wrong. When he thought about Asabam's words carefully, he felt strange. He remembers telling him that the planet's cryogen was invented by the Fruit Demon, a creature whose true appearance was more like a cross between a snail and a walrus. Maybe he didn't use the word "invent," but he definitely mentioned the fruit-bearing monsters and how they used that material and dinosaur carcasses to create the Ice Age scenery.
"What do you mean by dragon?" he asked suspiciously.
"Fanlong." Asabam said.
Luo Binhan skillfully gave up communicating with her. He turned to look at Upsilon, hoping for a more human response. Upsilon just laughed dryly at this.
"Yeah, the little girl has heard of such ancient things. I thought you didn't care about intellectual civilization at all, but it turns out you still know a lot... She is right, Mr. Zhou Yu. Use thermal radiation The earliest record of planetary refrigerant based on the principle of wavelength window was that it was developed by a civilization named Zinsora Scalers. However, that civilization was destroyed early in the establishment of the Alliance, and the only result left was basically this one thing. .”
Upsilon's smile slowly faded. He looked at the snow vase and said, "They are a civilization that would rather die.
"It can be inferred from the records that can be inspected afterwards that the Sinsora Scalers were just like what I once thought the Houyhnhnms encountered. When they tried to build a machine similar to the wishing machine, they mistakenly caused an ether surge, causing the entire race to begin to experience a kind of Slow mutation. It is said that mutated scalers will spit poisonous acid or fire from their mouths, and some will grow extra wings and heads. The scales can even survive the heat of the star without melting. It is as if they have become something. They are "dragons" in myths and legends, but in contrast, their cognitive abilities are declining rapidly, and soon they will no longer be able to understand their past inventions. What should we do in the face of such a situation? It would be fine if there were physical enemies, but what they are actually facing is a degeneration that is both irresistible and incomprehensible. Perhaps they believe that rather than letting future generations turn into mindless beasts, it is better to end everything before then. All in all, the scalers who had not mutated invented the refrigerant for this planet before the situation completely got out of control. In the blazing flames of destroying technical records, the product was released into the atmosphere of their home planet. It could not be retained. The heated atmosphere quickly caused the entire planet's surface to drop to an absolute low temperature close to that of space. The composition of the atmosphere also changed immediately, and was turned into a violent poison by temperature and other factors. Planet Xinsora serves as their core research and development center The area was once a clean, beautiful star embraced by the ocean, but now everything has been frozen under the ice cap.
"Mr. Zhou Yu, didn't I say before that one of the three must be abandoned, survival, road and will? If my ancestors and the Houyhnhnm engine both believed that survival was the first thing, then the Scaler They are people who are willing to give up their lives in order to protect their ideals. However, it is really a pity that after their final legacy was disclosed to all star realms in accordance with the regulations of the alliance, the most famous user was the fruit-giving demon who neither cared about ideals nor A group that cares about change and just treats traps as inferior creatures for fun. If the scalers were still alive, they would not allow this humiliation, right? But after death, there is nothing they can do. All creations and relics will be destroyed Deprivation and abuse, ideas will be easily distorted and denied... Therefore, I really have no way to say that 'survival is not important', Mr. Zhou Yu. Without survival, there would be no good and evil, and of course there would be nothing for anything. Fighting. Maybe the dead people no longer have any worries, but for us living in the world, it is really a sad thing."
"Sad." Luo Binhan repeated.
"Yes. Because there is no way to declare that their choice is wrong than ours, but I also have no way not to think that their ending is wrong. All I can say is sadness. However, it is also very interesting to say, Zhou Mr. Yu, here we are sitting with four people and a legacy. We had nothing to do with each other originally. Thanks to your appearance, we got together. The remains of a third-grade civilization and an ancient law are rare even for me. This kind of scene can be said to be a grand event."
"Where, where." Luo Binhan said humbly, "You are the pioneers of the three graves of reason and convention. It is destiny to come together thousands of miles away. I have no personal efforts except the historical process. I shouldn't be here, I should go Under the car.”
"...You really have a lot of strange things to say, Mr. Zhou Yu. If you always resist communication without frankness, it will cause problems sooner or later. For example, if you leave Menghe with such a mentality later, maybe You will encounter strange things in front of the Tianlun Star."
"Where?" Luo Binhan asked.
"The Heavenly Wheel Star. It was the starting point for the appearance of the Jin Enga Titan. It can no longer be called that. Before the penetration of the Gao Ling Belt, it was just an ordinary mirror star in the records, a moon of a rocky planet. However, It should look very different now. It is said that the concept of 'star' still remains, but it is no longer a planet in the physical sense. If the Tianlun star we see now appears from Menghe... Well, I think It’s going to be like a huge painting.”
