Going to the elven core of Odessa, the Snake King, apart from the labyrinth that troubles people, the elemental creatures residing here certainly cannot have any expressions. When Lin and Fen approached a certain distance, the little guys living in the Snake King's body gathered together like crazy and blocked the two outsiders, forming a 'stone' wall made of bodies.
The materials of various colors fit together perfectly, with almost no gaps visible. But these 'bricks' have a pair of eyes, which emit a strange red light in this lightless environment, staring eagerly at the outsiders in front of them.
Of course, such a formation would not be noticed by the Lich; even Lin did not think that this kind of physical wall could hinder his actions at all. But considering that this time we are not here for hatred, we will not fight if we can. So Lin and Fen looked at each other in the dark, and in an instant they used the agreed method of escape.
As a magician, of course he knows some low-level tricks or magic. In addition to livening up the atmosphere at banquets and wine tables, it often has miraculous effects in deceiving enemies in battle. Because the essence of these techniques is deception, a very clever trick used to deceive other people's senses and make them believe it is true.
And it is really easy to deceive the bunch of elemental creatures in front of you. Especially since they have determined what the world they can see looks like, the two magicians only need to prescribe the right medicine.
Lin and Fen each cast a mirror clone technique, leaving behind a ball of light simulating the light of the elves. After covering up his own light, he jumped forward in a flash, easily bypassing such a group of little guys, and came to the snake king's elf core.
The Elf Core area is closed, similar to the World Tree core area that Lin has been to more than ten times. Of course, the protective power between the two is still slightly different. It's hard to say which one is stronger and which one is weaker. Anyway, as soon as someone invades this place, the invader is basically out of luck.
But Lin appeared here today, of course not to kill the snake, but just to communicate with the other party. If the Snake King had a way to talk to others.
Although you can use the perspective of elemental creatures to see clearly what this place looks like. However, as a human being, Lin was still accustomed to the colorful world in his eyes, so he directly used the bright light technique. His current mastery of the bright light technique does not require the establishment of a light source, but rather increases the brightness of the entire core space.
Doing this can avoid condensing the light source and causing misunderstandings by others. After all, in the hands of a formal magician, that light source with a high concentration of power can be thrown out as a ball of light at any time and turned into an attack magic.
However, the overall method of improving brightness is only possible by mastering the entire environment. For those who are high enough and sensitive enough, this method is even more offensive. But when used in front of the eyes, it also means showing muscles.
I control the entire space environment, please cooperate obediently.
These unspoken words should have been heard by Snake King Odesa. The elemental creatures that were blocked outside the core area of elves had no intention of breaking in. But they did not disband, but continued to stare into the disguised clones left by Lin and Fen.
The spirit core of the Snake King is stored in a huge and irregularly shaped stone ball. And this stone ball is not unfamiliar to someone. Lin was very confident that there was a piece of 'jade' in the stone ball. At least from the parts that are not covered by the stone skin, it seems that the emerald green and warm color is someone's impression of high-grade jade.
In Mystery, all kinds of gems can carry power, make magic props, or become materials for casting spells, but 'jade' cannot.
To be more precise, the purpose of jade is very special. It is useful for related magic and props that act on the soul. This type of magic or magic props are usually classified in the 'evil' sequence. This also affects the evaluation of Jade, which is not very friendly among most people.
Therefore, jade, a material with low output and poor evaluation, rarely appears in the market of Midi. Not only was he unpopular with the magicians, but also the nobles.
But in front of him was a jade stone about the size of a bull and covered with stone skin, which was used as a container to store the core of the elf. Lin didn't need to have experience in stone gambling or a pair of discerning eyes to judge good from bad. He also believed that after the stone was cut open, the whole piece would be emerald green jade. The container used by an elemental lord to store his own core couldn't possibly be trash.
However, based on the experience of communicating with the World Tree, after arriving in such a place, even if the core does not have any activity, there should still be a voice to communicate with oneself. But when they came to the core of Snake King Odessa, there was no such reaction. Even if there is no air in this world and sound cannot travel, at the level between each other, there are still many ways to communicate.
Could it be that the elemental creatures gathering just now to block his actions were their spontaneous actions, rather than the assignment of the snake king in front of him? The collective will of Odessa is actually just someone's wishful thinking. But in fact, it's not.
Just when someone was in a helpless situation, a series of images suddenly appeared in the part of the huge jade that was not covered with stone skin. In addition to the faces of Lin and Fen, there are two or three kinds of images of scenery that are constantly rotating. As for the images of scenery, it is obvious that they are scenes of lost places. They may not necessarily contain characters, and they may just be simple landscapes.
In one of the pictures, it is obvious that there is a road, but there is a small mound in front of it. The road twists and turns, and there is nothing beyond the mound.
There is also a picture of a stone man standing alone in an open field, but there is an ion storm in the sky that seems to come from outer space, forming a rather strange picture.
The third picture has a similar style to the first two, both are darker. But there are two elemental creatures appearing in the picture, facing each other, and their emotions or thoughts are unknown.
Fen just looked at these three pictures, as well as his and Lin's faces, taking turns appearing on the surface of the emerald green jade. She became a little irritable because she didn't understand its meaning, and the content of the image tended to have a gloomy mood. Just when he was about to smash the junk in front of him, Lin stopped himself from the side. The man said: "Wait a minute, I think I understand something."
How do two people who don't speak the same language communicate? The simplest way is to gesture. However, the snake king's elf core has neither hands nor feet, and it does not know the common language of the Lost Earth or the language of the elemental elves. So the way to communicate with other people is to show the scenes that have been seen in the memory. , there seems to be no other way. This can be regarded as the Snake King's "gesticulating".
Lin tried to convey his meaning in the elemental elven language. But the snake king's elf core still had the same changes, which obviously meant that he couldn't understand the language.
At this time, one of the non-undergraduate miscellaneous books I read in college, image metaphors in psychology came to mind. Lin used whiteboard techniques to show the patterns he had in mind on the spot, representing the meaning he wanted to convey. At this time, the image presented by the Snake King also began to change. An alternative conversation between one person and one elemental creature begins.
