In the New Year, a morning with nothing to do but the sun shines very comfortably on it.
Someone sitting on the roof was looking at the street scene of the holy city of Estali. The place where I live can be considered a high-end residential area on Earth, so there is a certain distance between the houses. There is no way to walk directly on the roof to reach a distance like a certain assassin game on Earth.
The houses are not high. The most common ones are two-story buildings with at most an attic under the roof. Buildings above three floors are rare. In the Lost Land, those with three floors or above are either military fortresses, castles, or magician's magic towers. So someone sitting on the roof could see several magic towers scattered throughout the city at a glance.
The reason why a fifty-year-old black-and-white terrier sat on the roof was not because he was in a leisurely mood, but because he was kicked out by his apprentice who wanted to clean the house. It is said that those two girls are becoming more and more unscrupulous, and they are as good as those two little devils and three kittens. Find an opportunity to teach them a big lesson.
In just over a month, the World Trees are busy with the finishing work of the first and second stages - that is, changing their own core magic patterns and integrating the twenty-five World Trees on the Mysterious Land into a whole. They can't take care of themselves. . Therefore, during this period of time, there was no summoning or sending out their respective holy envoys, whispering in their ears about what should be done and what should be done.
The dark elf Maier also stayed at this home, doing similar things to the two apprentices. It was as if she had been forgotten by the ancient Fasnas, and she did not receive the oracle from the World Tree during this period of time. I just don't know if she has a good attitude or has been warned in advance. In short, she is calm about the current situation.
By the way, the White Sword Master William Greco left long ago. Ever since he learned about his physical shortcomings from someone, he left the Holy City and looked for opportunities to break through. Although continuing to stay and becoming the Lich's experimental subject was also an option, he still chose the path that might not necessarily lead to results.
The Demon Prince Azad is still there, but the person who originally accompanied him to feed him was changed from William Greco to the former commander of the Guards of the Dark Legion, Rock Stone, who regained his body. According to Fen, the stone had just acquired a new body and needed some rehabilitation exercises to allow him to better adapt to the new body. And get rid of some previous bad habits, such as exchanging injuries for injuries.
According to Azad, the two of them had interactions with each other and there was no victory or defeat. If you just refuse to fight after losing the fight, it can be regarded as a failure. There is indeed no winner between the Demon Prince and the former captain of the Imperial Guard.
For Stone, the only instruction given by Fin was to fight back. So as long as Azad stops, he will not pursue him. According to Fen, making a good sandbag is not easy. It was broken immediately, who will be unlucky next?
The words have been spoken to this extent, and if someone has an opinion, his mouth will be closed.
However, this also shows the gap between two strong men from different eras. Azad is a well-deserved strong man in this peaceful era. But he is still far behind compared to the strong men born in the war era when even the gods fell.
Shi Dong's evaluation of this opponent was that he was too used to dealing with people weaker than himself, but he didn't know how to fight with opponents stronger than himself.
It sounds reasonable at first glance, but it actually makes no sense when you think about it. This group of people are already among the few powerful people in the world. If they didn't chase gods all day long and take pleasure in killing gods, how many of them would be able to find a being who is more powerful than themselves to fight with. This is not to find excuses for Azad, but because there are too many flaws in what Shi Dong said.
As for the new members, they seem to still retain the habits and personalities from the Suture Corpse era, and are dull to the point of being dull. Except for physiologically necessary activities, basically if Fen doesn't speak, he won't do anything unnecessary. It can be regarded as a different kind and very easy to raise.
Everyone else is still the same. Although this is a world without much entertainment, everyone is still working hard to survive. The only one who was free, except for the two hours of math class every day, was living a somewhat hazy life for a while.
And his own magic apprentices all live on their own; even the new one is not doing his job properly. Anyway, no one goes to someone, their teacher, for magic problems.
But just during such a lazy time, basking in the warm sun, someone suddenly became inspired.
Learning is like rowing upstream. Such a word suddenly appeared in his mind.
This is a lost place where one could die at any time, not a home with good security. Besides, no matter how peaceful my hometown is, there are still many accidents in life that can kill people, such as car accidents, kidney dialysis due to eating too much, high blood pressure due to abnormal daily routine, and even strokes.
In short, continuing to live lazily is definitely not an option. Someone sitting on the ridge opened the window directly in his field of vision and browsed the to-do items recorded in his memo. Look at what you want to do but haven’t done yet.
After one of the items came into view, someone couldn't take his eyes away and looked straight at it.
It is said that this period of time happens to be a window period, which should be suitable for making stargazing plans. A regular and fixed life is used to collect a large amount of observational data.
By the way, how long ago did it take for me to take a good look at this starry sky? Lin raised his head and looked at the sky. Although his eyesight was not as abnormal as 17.0, it was not difficult to stargazing during the day by putting a few filters on his vision.
Turning off redundant calculation and comparison functions to avoid taking the initiative to display data such as the relative distance between the object and himself and the characteristics of the object after his eyes are on something, Lin looked at the sky seriously. The same blue, the same changes of wind and clouds, and the same twinkling stars. Except for the different positions and distances of the stars, there is no difference between this sky and the one observed on the earth.
What about looking up from the abyss?
After accepting the commission from the Demon Moth King and entering the abyss to rescue that annoying kitten, I have never forgotten the sky of the abyss. I still remember that when I was walking in the abyss, I saw a gray sky, as if a volcano was erupting nearby and the entire sky was covered in volcanic ash.
At that time, I only had the mission in mind and didn’t think much about it. But when he came back, the gray cat Hardy's reminder made him recall that sky again. What does it look like behind the gray mist? Is it a sky full of bright stars like the Earth and Lost Lands, or is it another scene that I have never seen before?
That raises another question: Where is the abyss? Are they in the same universe as the earth and the lost land? Or is it in a different plane? Or even different dimensions? Although the possibility of the latter is low, living in a high-dimensional world and living in a lost land are completely different things.
And then the last question is: what is the abyss?
Although I don't think it is possible to find the answer to this question, the abyss is obviously a world with different characteristics from the earth. As for Midi...it's hard to say. The most important gap is the existence of what I call Gaia consciousness.
The earth has no subjective consciousness. The so-called counterattack of nature is actually the inevitable result of certain human actions or certain climate phenomena. Setting a fire in the woods can cause a forest fire. When a typhoon comes, it's either a wind disaster or a flood. But no matter what happens, the earth is silent and soundless.
But Midi doesn't seem to be so quiet. At least, someone has seen in the Lord of Guardians, more than once, evidence that the gods are connected to the mother they call him. He even said that he was not killed on the spot by the guardian lord. The mother goddess whom he had never met was a big help, otherwise he would have said goodbye long ago.
The Lost Land is like this, but what about the Abyss?
After coming to this world that is similar to the earth but different, I will have this question from time to time. What kind of existence is the abyss?
It is not like hell on earth, but a figment of the imagination. The abyss does exist, and so do demons. So what is the relationship between the two worlds? Coupled with the fact that World Tree Gaius took root in the abyss a while ago, it made someone even more curious about how the two worlds are connected.
Maybe I will never find the answers to all these questions. But what's the harm, the process of exploration is the most interesting, isn't it?
Just do it! Lin began to plan what he wanted to do, and the centerpiece of it all was of course stargazing in the abyss. There are many approaches surrounding this destination.
One way is to use flash to come and go every day; one way is to find an unowned fixed base and semi-settlement there; another way is to borrow other demons' territories and obtain a stargazing base through cooperation. Each approach has its pros and cons, requires different preparations, and of course is suitable for different observation plans. Strictly speaking, this is another option with no correct answer.
Considering that the environment of the abyss is more harsh than that of the Lost Lands, and whether it is necessary to move our own observation equipment around, finding a local and powerful demon to cooperate with seems to be the best choice. At least someone can protect and keep the observation equipment after you leave.
As for the price, Lin certainly couldn't pay his soul for such a thing. With him now, there are many ways to get the devil to agree to free services. Even if I can't do it myself, I still have Fen, the former Demon King.
Intimidating the devil and squeezing his labor, etc., he will not have any psychological burden, who calls the other party a devil.
Then the first suitable person that I thought of was a familiar face, the demon lord Sabin. That is, in the mission of rescuing the kittens, the big demon occupies a vast territory on the other side of the abyss passage guarded by the Demon Moth King.
As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. I had a hearty fight with him once, so if I go over this time and make a small request, it should be easy to agree to it. If you refuse, just try again.
Creatures like demons are just like little kids. It's easy to negotiate whether it's a good deal or not.
