Homo sapiens is a very interesting creature. When the elves put the choice of making a contract with the World Tree in the hands of adult elves, the number of elves who chose to make a contract became very few, or even none. It's normal to think about it. After getting used to a certain kind of life, someone would suddenly choose a more restrictive life, and such a change would have no meaning other than trouble.
But when this right of choice suddenly changed, it became a privilege that only a few elites could possess. Only by becoming a member of the Shenmu Guards could they sign a contract with the World Tree. Although once a pact is made, the precepts must be followed to the letter, there are countless young elves who seek to become members of the fixed number of guards.
The benefit of the change in the relationship with the World Tree is that it liberated the productivity, creativity and destructive power of the elves. The elves even once ruled the world of Lost Land and established a huge empire.
But the side effect that followed was that the World Tree seemed to be degenerating, the incarnation no longer appeared, and even the elves lost the ability to communicate with the World Tree. Only elves of a certain special bloodline can still communicate with the World Tree.
Maybe the branches are still thick and lush, maybe people still dare not insult people under the shade, but except for the bloodline that became the royal family and a very few members of the sacred tree guard, the World Tree seems to have closed its heart and become a tree. Pure plant.
In this regard, the elves in the kingdom don't know how to recover. At this point, I can only sigh deeply.
The news I got from these old elves was completely different from what the wood elves said and what I imagined. As for the reason behind it, someone had a flash of idea and seemed to have some idea, but the sudden furry feeling at his feet scattered his nascent thoughts. Lin looked at the kitten rubbing at his feet in surprise.
"Meow~."
Reaching out to grab the uninvited guest that was calling in a milky voice, Lin asked curiously: "Hey, little thing, how did you get in here?"
In my impression, a group of armed elves did not seal the outside tightly. Was there a mouse hole that led this kitten to chase it in? But the action of holding the cat with one hand made other people look puzzled. Lin smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Are you also surprised to see this tabby cat? Let me tell you first, it is not I smuggled in, so you have to ask yourselves."
"No, sir, you don't have anything in your hands," said Luka Titov.
Is this prime minister of the kingdom a liar, or... Lin turned his head, looked at Fen sitting next to him, and asked, "Didn't you see it too?"
The lich looked at someone with an expression as if he saw an idiot. No matter how stupid someone is, they should know something. He looked back at the kitten he was holding with one hand and said, "Hey, little thing, what the hell are you?"
"Meow."
"May I have your name?"
"Meow."
"Meow, that's a pretty good name.──" A certain cat rolled his eyes, "──How did you get in?"
"Meow."
"Where are your parents?"
"Meow~."
Hold the forelegs under the armpits with both hands and lift the kitten up. "Are you a male or a female?"
"Meow meow meow!" The kitten swung its lower limbs uncooperatively, intending to scratch someone's face with its back paws.
"Okay, okay. You want to ask me for help. If so, just meow."
This mottled cat, who must still be at the age of drinking milk, has calmed down, tilting its little head with a cute look on its face, and meowing incessantly. It looked like he was going to play dumb to the end.
There was some speculation in my heart, how could I let this kitten act stupid. Lin smiled and asked: "Okay, I am very interested in what you are. So do you agree to let me dissect you? Oh, that is to cut it open and study it. If you agree, meow. If you strongly agree, keep meowing. .”
The originally adorable calico cat looked at the person in front of him with a pair of lifeless fish eyes, not daring to make any sound.
"Oh, aren't you going to pretend you don't understand? Do you know how to speak human language?"
"Meow meow."
"I don't understand. It's worthless. You'd better cook it and eat it. Cat meat, I heard Lao Guang said it has a very special taste, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to taste it until today."
The calico kitten stopped barking this time and turned directly to bite the hand that held him. Don't look at this little thing's extremely small size. Its claws and teeth are strong enough. If someone is in pain, it will of course be thrown away. The kitten that broke away nimbly ran across the table, trying to run away.
But how can someone easily let a small animal that has entered the field of vision run away. One flash, grabbing the skin on the back of the neck; another flash, and it returned to its original position.
This one-man show certainly left a group of elves confused. They didn't understand the meaning of someone's actions at all. Especially the acting is so vivid, as if he really has something in his hands. But the last trick that suddenly appeared and disappeared still frightened this group of well-informed old elves. If such techniques were used in assassinations, who among them would be able to prevent them?
Looking with interest at the empty space where someone was leaning on the table. Fen asked: "What's the reason for this? You can see it, but I can't. And I changed several observation methods, but I couldn't detect anything at all. Is it in consciousness? Or is it light of a specific wavelength? Frequency?" Of course she would not think that someone was lying, and such deception was meaningless. Then the only possibility is that the thing in his hand has indeed avoided the sight of others in some way.
He pressed the kitten in his hand on the table. The suppressed kitten lay down in recognition, motionless and not barking. Those black eyes were floating restlessly.
Faced with Fen's question, Lin thought for a while and said: "This should be a characteristic of high-dimensional creatures. If it does not restrict its own information transmission, it will be like those indescribable things. Just take a look, and people will see it." Everyone will be driven crazy by redundant and unprocessable information. But if he restrains himself, then if he does not exist in other people's cognition, he really does not exist."
"Can't you touch it?" Fen reached out and touched under someone's suppressing object, but it turned out to be empty. But in Lin's eyes, the lich's hand swept past, and the kitten meowed unhappily. Fin asked doubtfully: "Then why can you?"
"Well, because he conveyed certain information to me, he established a relationship with me, allowing me to observe the part he conveyed. Of course, in a way that I can understand the information he conveyed. But this connection is permanent. Once it is established, it can disappear unless he wants to disappear from my knowledge again. So I wonder if he can maintain this state, will he appear in more In front of people, you may need to consider it. But there are other ways."
Maybe most of the elves couldn't understand the conversation between the two magicians. But the part they could understand seemed to indicate that this human magician could see a certain existence. And it is very likely... "Can your Excellency see His Majesty Lahti?"
The unfamiliar name made Lin ask directly: "Lahti? Who?"
When several old elves mentioned this one, they all said in awe, "Guardian of the Kingdom, His Majesty the World Tree Lahti."
He looked at the little kitten who was being held down by his hand and pretending to be well-behaved. Lin said: "Is he your World Tree? I'm not sure. Maybe he is just a little thing running from other worlds along the passage of the World Tree."
"Meow~."
Regarding this uncertain guess, someone suddenly thought of himself. How did he come to the Lost Land? Can we go back the same way? Once you are distracted like this, your hands will naturally relax. Of course, the young cat who was being suppressed seized this opportunity and swooped out, watching someone warily on the other side of the long table.
As for the escaped kitten, Lin looked at his empty hand and never thought about catching it again. Instead, he looked at the kitten with a smirk on his face, his forelimbs lowered and his butt raised high, ready to sprint at any time.
Because you guessed why he was invited to the Elf Kingdom, Lin You made some preparations in advance. At this time, he took out a magic stone that he had prepared long ago, which contained introductory knowledge related to the innate magic array patterns of the World Tree. Mainly some organized and summarized content, as well as explanations using mathematical methods.
This was originally a gadget used to frustrate the elves and communicate with each other. If the other party makes any unreasonable demands, he will throw this magic stone to send the elf away. Now this magic stone is just used to seduce this unknown kitten in front of me.
As soon as someone took out the magic stone, the kitten seemed to realize what was inside, staring straight at it without relaxing for a moment. As someone moves up, down, left, and right as if on purpose, the melon seeds in his little head rotate along with it.
Seeing this look, Lin couldn't help but smile. He stopped teasing the cat and gently threw the magic stone. This action was not only watched by the kitten, but also by all the elves and Fen present. When the magic stone landed on the table again, and after a few bounces, it started to spin, and all the elves woke up and realized that they had been watching someone's one-man show for a long time.
Only the relatively stoic old elf would yell at someone. But right before their eyes, the swirling magic stone stopped abruptly. They vaguely saw a colorful kitten, covering the magic stone with its short forelimbs. Then he lowered his head and put the magic stone into his mouth.
Just when the kitten holding the magic stone in its mouth was about to raise its head and swallow it, it realized that it had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Cognition is a mutual act. There is no way one side can see the other side without being discovered. People who have not established any connection with the kitten are just a background in its eyes, no different from stones on the roadside. Once a connection is established, the person who knows it seems to have come alive in its world, so it can also realize that it is seen.
Pretending to swallow the magic stone as if nothing had happened, the Sanhua kitten remained cute, tilted its head and meowed in that milky voice: "Meow."
Then he jumped towards the edge of the table. The short limbs kicked hard, and the figure of the kitten in the air gradually faded. Just before landing, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
At this time, someone said from the side: "In order for others to see things that do not exist, they must first have something they can observe as a medium to make people realize that something does exist. When the cognition is established, you can see the original Something that no longer exists. Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing.”
