In the desolate space, war was raging. Although I had only seen the tragedy of the war twenty years ago in written words or photos, today, here, Qin Weijie became a witness to history.
The Buddha said that only when you have experienced obsession can you let go of your obsession, and only after you have experienced pain can you realize the suffering of all living beings.
Only those who have witnessed the tragedy of war can understand the meaning of anti-war. There have been countless wars in human history. Unfortunately, the only lesson humans have learned from history is that humans cannot learn any lessons from history.
The war twenty years ago is still vivid in our minds, but now someone has started a war again, a protracted war covering the whole world, and has even spread to the extremely closed magical world.
"A little sentimental?" Roland saw the regret in Qin Weijie's eyes.
"It will pass! The war will pass! I believe peace is in the near future!"
"Naive! The main theme of civilization is war and conflict, and peace is temporary! Being born in a peaceful time is a luxury that can never be imagined!"
Qin Weijie looked at Roland. He didn't want to refute anything, because he knew that the era in which Roland lived was completely different from his previous life. Qin Weijie could not convince her to believe in a peaceful and prosperous age. Even Qin Weijie himself did not dare to imagine that if in his previous life, he had not Born in the great country of China, I probably would never see the dawn of peace.
"If you don't talk about this anymore, how long will it take for you to leave this illusion?" Qin Weijie changed the topic and said: "You said that the entire ruins has five floors. How did you know? Isn't this your first time here?"
"There is a limit to the folding of space. You can judge how many layers of space this ruin has compressed based on the overflow of magic power. According to my judgment, there should be five layers of space compression here, so it can be judged that this ruin has five layers of upper and lower layers. As for the level of space where the Death God's remains and the Twelfth Knight's Sword are located, I can't say clearly, but what is certain is that the breath of the Twelfth Knight's Sword was not felt in the first level of space."
Qin Weijie: "Space compression? Folding? Can I temporarily regard the real world as a piece of white paper? The compression and folding of space means folding the paper in half?"
"It's understandable. It just so happened that you asked here, and I just happened to tell you about this world." Roland said while controlling the horse and slowing down.
"Needless to say the real world, we live in this space. But based on the real world, behind it... let's call it that, anyway, it is another world opposite it, a more real and cruel world world."
Qin Weijie: "'Upper level'?"
"The 'upper level' is only a part of that world, the part where the spirit body and spirit are sealed. In addition, there is a wider space. We call that world the 'old world', although that world is opposite to the real world. , but there are all kinds of monsters living in it... Human beings actually occasionally enter the 'old world', but not physically, but in a confused mental state through dreams.
Think about the world in your dream. It has an unknown origin and an unknown destination. It is unconstrained and twisted. The 'Old World' has no concept of time and no definition of space. No matter whether it is magic or scientific theories known to mankind, they are all in the 'Old World'. It is disrupted, there is no fixed basic theory, the whole world is chaotic and twisted, and there are many kinds of... monsters living in it! "
"Monster? Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Weijie was full of curiosity about the so-called 'old world'.
"Are you normal? Horrible or strange..."
"I haven't read much. You know that I lived in China before and basically didn't read Western literature... In China, I did read a few sexy Liaozhai, but in the end I was hung up by the nose and beaten by the old cow... I did read "Zi Buyu" How many times!”
"Although I don't understand what you are talking about, it will be easy to understand as long as you have seen those monsters! Many of those monsters and monsters do not exist in the real world, but humans can create them. Most authors Their spirituality is stronger than that of ordinary people. They often draw inspiration from dreams, and a large part of the inspiration in dreams comes from the 'old world'. So many times, the monster images in the real world, maybe you are... It can also be found in the Old World."
"It means that there is another world, that is, the old world and the real world are actually connected to each other. Dreams are an entrance to consciousness... So will the monsters in the old world affect the real world, or even come to the real world? Qin Weijie asked
"Of course it can affect the real world. 'Taboo' is a creature from the old world. It can affect the real world. Of course, it often affects the real world through consciousness channels. As for whether the creatures from the old world can come to the real world. , this is really okay.
Take 'relics' for example. Relics are a space independent of the real world and the old world. To put it figuratively, it's like bubbles appearing where two plastic films are joined together. Relics are like bubbles, and the plastic films are two The borders of the world.
The formation of the bubble must be caused by the entry of matter from the two worlds into it, causing it to expand into a bubble. Therefore, the ruins are equivalent to the weakest place on the boundary between the two worlds. There have been many times in history that old world creatures broke into the real world through ruins. case. In addition to guarding against the invasion and resurrection of the 'taboo', we God Prisoners must also seal the 'relics' in a timely manner to ensure that creatures from the old world are not allowed to invade the real world. "
After Roland's explanation, Qin Weijie gained a complete understanding of this world. It has two sides, one is the real world and the other is the old world.
The 'taboo' is sealed in the old world. However, the old world can be accidentally entered through spiritual consciousness. If you want to enter the old world physically, you can only enter the old world through ruins or tearing apart space.
The appearance of ruins is often caused by some items or things that exceed the energy level of the real world. They independently absorb the energy of the current world and the old world without the control of the owner, and ultimately form a strange world that is independent between the current world and the old world. Space, certain nodes in this space can allow creatures in the current world or creatures in the old world to enter another world.
The God Prisoner exists to prevent the invasion of old world creatures. The old world creatures here also contain extremely terrifying and evil 'taboos'.
"This is about the essence of this world. The so-called space folding is just like the example I gave you just now. The 'bubble' is composed of matter in the current world and the old world, and the matter in the current world and the old world are mutually exclusive. phenomenon, forced fusion will tear and squeeze, and finally form a layer-by-layer state. This is the multi-layered space we face after the ruins."
Qin Weijie nodded and thought, "I almost understand!"
"By the way, and ah, didn't you ask me about the 'Second-Level Domain' before? When talking about the Maginot Line, Patrick used the 'Second-Level Domain' to change the attributes in the space, as if he could control a space. .In fact, the second-layer domain can be regarded as a synthetic 'relic'. We cannot achieve multi-layer space, but we can forcibly superimpose two layers of space, so it is called the second-layer domain.
Because it is artificially synthesized, you are the master of the space and can change the attributes of people with lower strength than you, and even affect the laws of physics. This is also a powerful technology that our God Prisoners have mastered, and it is also why the God Prisoners are more powerful than ordinary wizards, alchemists, and druids. "
Roland explained patiently, and Qin Weijie's eyes flashed with joy.
If I master this secret technique, wouldn't I be invincible in the world! Although you can't change the attributes of people who are stronger than yourself, it's still a trick to trap people in the second-level domain and then find a way to escape to delay the time!
Qin Weijie rubbed his little hands: "Hey, you can teach me such a powerful secret technique..."
Roland rolled his eyes at Qin Weijie: "Nothing to teach you! Do you think the second level domain is an ordinary magic spell? I told you that it is a technology! It is similar to the formation of ruins, both require certain items to be arranged in advance! Last time Padrick took the 'Crystal Ball of the Goddess of Destiny' to create the space of the second-level domain. Without similar mythical items, it is impossible to extradite the power of the old world! Also, know how much Padrick spent to arrange the second-level domain. How long? A whole six hours! Will the enemy give you six hours of preparation time when you face the enemy?"
"Well... I know there is no free breakfast, lunch and dinner in the world..."
"That kind of mythical item is not good for me! The people in King Arthur's Court look at me as closely as a prisoner and don't let me touch the mythical item at all! They are afraid that I will steal theirs... It makes me look like that kind of person! "
"It's like you're not that kind of person. A kid who wants to rebel but still blames others for looking closely at you!"
Qin Weijie muttered. Roland wanted to refute but suddenly frowned, as if listening to something. Then Roland looked at Qin Weijie and said, "Stop talking nonsense! The entrance to the next floor is just ahead! After entering, we will temporarily separate. Look, you are responsible for finding the Sword of the Twelfth Knight. There is something wrong with Bores, and I need to go there! This ruins may not be as simple as we thought!"
"Damn it! You know it's not easy and you dare to let me act alone! Didn't you tell me that the next level is full of monsters!" Qin Weijie was a little panicked
"You have the power of death to protect your body. The undead creatures in the ruins cannot hurt you! You need to be careful not of the monsters, but of the people who enter here in advance! Boreth met those guys..."
Qin Weijie wanted to ask more questions, but Roland sealed Qin Weijie's mouth directly, and then hurried forward. Not long after, Roland passed through a hail of bullets and finally reached the boundary of space.
At a glance, there is no scenery in the distance, only endless darkness and coldness, and there is a whirlpool emitting shimmering light on the dark background board.
