Fifty-seven days, that's how long it took from the turn of Odessa's giant snake body to the arrival of the Gemstone Pit. And this is the result of the white jade giant snake moving forward day and night, sleeplessly.
Of course, Lin and Fen, especially the Lich who had regained his physical body, could not cooperate with the schedule of elemental creatures. They are ordinary carbon-based organisms that need to eat and rest. Of course, they also have many physiological needs that need to be met. Even so, these fifty-seven days allowed them to create a miracle, a miracle in constructing a new elemental biological system.
Although it is different from what someone expected, that is, from machine language to programming language, and then back to building artificial intelligence, and then being able to communicate with the snake king in a human way, such progress is somewhat different. But using a communication method that is different from picture communication, such a small goal should be considered achieved... The new method is - mathematical formulas.
If there is any hard truth in this world that all universes are connected and all dimensions are the same, it must be impersonal mathematics. Regardless of cats or dogs, 1+1=2 is the truth. Therefore, mathematics became a tool used by the collective will of Snake King Odessa to accurately express what he meant.
This first started with the snake king communicating with the small elemental creatures that parasitized on him. Initially it was a string of numbers, and later mathematical symbols were added. Sometimes it was a formula, and sometimes it was just a set of simultaneous equations. This group of elemental creatures used this special way to express their moods and communicate.
At first, someone looked at the Snake King and the little guys, showing each other irregular numbers and mathematical symbols. He still couldn't figure out what they were doing, thinking that these two guys were playing the program until it crashed and entered an infinite loop. . But when Odessa tried to communicate with someone again using the same method, Lin realized that this was their new way of speaking.
It's just that this method of communication is more difficult for Lin than communicating with pictures based on psychology. After trying hard to communicate for a long time, Lin only understood the meaning of a small part of the mathematical symbols or formulas. The irrational number π, for example, represents curiosity; and the symbol that Snake King likes to use the most, the root sign, represents balance, perfection, and coordination.
But the difficulties one person encounters are nothing to another person. Fen's spirituality and mathematical skills allowed her to immediately understand the 'mathematical language' used by these elemental creatures, and she used it skillfully to communicate with the Snake King and other little guys. Looking at a group of people across from me chatting animatedly, the feeling of living like a dog for the first half of my life was felt by another person.
However, no matter how the parties involved feel, when the destination is reached, it means that the time of separation has also arrived. At this sentimental moment, Lin's eyes were filled with inverse proportional functions, no matter how big or small they were, and even Dai Fen felt a little sad.
'Continuously approaching the goal, but never really reaching it. 'This feeling as if the little lamb has been abandoned by the entire group and can only live alone in a strange wilderness, someone felt it inexplicably.
Perhaps during these fifty days, when they need to eat and sleep, Lin and Fen will use the flash technique to return to their home in the Holy City of Estali. Regardless of whether it was the Snake King or other little guys, they could neither keep up nor trace the reason, so they could only passively wait for the appearance of a certain human magician. This group of attached little guys felt panic and uneasiness.
Scratching his head, Lin was honestly a bit at a loss now. What does it feel like to be ready to leave, but have others come back in return? It feels like you have left a bunch of half-grown children at home, ready to leave and never come back.
... Do we really want to carry out the 'scumbag' that the lich calls him in this world far away from the earth?
Well, some things are really not something you can do on your own. And from the perspective of benefits, maintaining contact and friendship with the Snake King will undoubtedly provide the possibility of having a helper or thug, and there is no reason not to do it.
But what can we do to reassure them, and how can we explain it so that Odessa can understand?
After thinking about it, Lin flattened his right palm and turned it over again. The next moment, there was a ring glowing with golden light in his palm. This ring corresponds to his unique ring. Among the seven rings belonging to the second level, it is named the 'Golden Wheel'.
Holding it in his hand and handing it forward, Lin simultaneously displayed a set of simultaneous equations with extremely large solutions. Try to convey that no matter how far two lines extend, they will eventually intersect.
Maybe the snake king understood what someone wanted to convey, but they showed a set of simultaneous equations of sinusoids as if they were bargaining.
This is because 'only one intersection point is not enough, but countless ones are needed. 'Do you mean?
His face is on his head, so Lin saves the effort of replying with emojis. After smiling and nodding in agreement, he held up the ring in his palm and showed the only ring on his finger.
Can Odessa understand such an expression?
Just as Lin was worried, a large amount of plasma flow suddenly overflowed from the core area of the elf, intertwining into the shape of a human arm. This hand stretched out towards Lin, reaching for the ring he held in his palm.
I don't know if it's the influence of magnetism or other forces. The Golden Wheel Ring floated up from Lin's palm, slowly drifting towards the arm woven with plasma flow, and was inserted into the same finger as someone wearing the One Ring.
The plasma arm wearing the golden wheel ring was retracted back, and was taken into the huge jade at the core by Snake King Odessa.
It was confirmed that Odessa accepted the ring and that the connection with the One Ring was not obscured by the jade. Lin took a few steps back, took Fen's hand, bowed towards the core of the elf, and performed a magician's salute.
These days, whenever I want to leave, I always make such an action. It's just that the previous separations were temporary, and this time it's time to say goodbye. I don’t know when we will meet next time.
Just before he flashed away, a limit symbol appeared on the jade plane. This symbol is interesting because although it is 'approximation' in the mathematical sense, they are also used to mean 'stop'. Lin Liran stopped his movements temporarily to see what the Snake King's intention was in stopping.
The wait didn't take long. The huge jade that stored the elemental lord's elf core shook for a while, and a small piece of jasper the size of a fist separated. He was carried by the plasma flow and sent to Lin.
Is this considered an exchange of gifts? Or exchange tokens?
Take this jade ball into your arms. Lin could feel that this was not just jade, there was some kind of power hidden in it. But don’t rush to study it in front of you. You can think about it slowly after you go back.
This time he flashed away and Odessa stopped blocking him. However, the two people who left did not go far. Lin Hefen flashed outside the body of the white jade giant snake, stood on the raised snake's head, and looked towards the west.
Against the backdrop of the afterglow of the setting sun, what you see in front of you is a group of palaces that reflect the brilliance, are magnificent, and are extremely exquisite. For a moment, there was a feeling of being in the kingdom of the gods. It seems that once you enter it, you can safely enjoy the bliss after death, just like the heroic warriors who were summoned to the Kingdom of God.
