After spending half a day, Huai Shi finally understood the changes after the end of the Age of Gods.
When scholars replaced magic with science composed of countless laws, and the three major blockades transformed the entire realm, space emerged spontaneously.
As a symbol of the Abyss in the Present Realm, countless hells under the depths reflected the stars.
This was a necessary link for the world to be able to operate in a harmonious and self-consistent manner.
"Of course, in the Present Realm above the depths, all you can see is a pile of barren stones. All changes in the depths must be achieved by the rules of the Present Realm. Only the Present Realm is the most convenient entrance to hell, so you don't have to worry about a hell entrance suddenly appearing in front of you. "
Tongi said, "The only exception is the moon."
"Hmm?" Huai Shi was puzzled.
"The sun and the moon have been the most important concepts of every civilization and every era since ancient times, Huai Shi." Tongi continued to explain, "The sun is the embodiment of the pillar of the spirit, and the moon is actually inextricably linked to the Present Realm."
"As a blank star, it is regarded as the safety bolt of the entire Present Realm.
It helps the Present Realm to share the pressure from the Abyss all the time. Once the deep erosion exceeds the critical point, part of the pressure will be discharged to the moon first.
It's like a flood relief area under a flood. At the same time, it is also the shield of the Present Realm, resisting most of the changes caused by the operation of the Abyss in space. "
It sounded so miserable.
It was simply a tool star.
Huai Shi pitied it when he heard it. It was used as a utility room and a wall, suffered for no reason, and was bombarded by meteorites every now and then.
It could only be said that planets and planets were not the same.
"In addition, even a god's creation like Helios, who has the dual attributes of the Present Realm and hell, can't enter the depths of hell in space. It can only descend power in the form of a projection."
Tongi sighed, "Appearing once every seventy years, and then being autistic for seventy years. Tsk, there must be something wrong with the brain. That's why orphan players are so pitiful."
"… Hmm?"
Huai Shi seemed to detect a well-concealed mockery and malice from the teasing tone. But when he looked back, she returned to the appearance of a Crow and looked at him innocently.
Forget it.
Give me some face and pretend that nothing happened.
Huai Shi withdrew his gaze.
Just like that, a day passed quickly.
When Huai Shi went to the dining hall for dinner, he found that there was only Izzy and himself in the large dining hall.
"Where are the others?"
Huai Shi sat on the chair and asked curiously.
"They all went to their rooms. So, alchemists are a bit too reclusive." Izzy smoked a cigar and took one out of her pocket: "Do you want one?"
"Forget it, I tried it once and I choked …" Huai Shi lowered his head and glanced at the menu before turning to the puppet beside him. "Give me a bowl of ramen and raw meat for my dog, thank you."
"Don't you want to try foie gras with caviar?"
Izzy wiped the corner of her mouth and took a sip of red wine. "The caviar here is very authentic and has a unique flavor … Ah, I forgot that you're the Hell Cooking Demon. Showing off your slight skill in front of an expert. Is that what you Dongxia people say?"
"Okay, okay, your Dongxia language is already very standard."
Huai Shi's head hurt a little. He felt that Izzy's image was beginning to overlap with the "Dongxia language" in some divine TV series.
"Don't be so cold, Mr. Huai Shi. We still have a long, long time to spend together." Izzy put down the cigar and spread her hands. "I'd like to make friends with you."
No, no, I'm already under a lot of pressure to have your niece as a friend.
Huai Shi's scalp was a little numb.
To be honest, in this damn alchemy tour group, the one who made him the most uneasy now was not Garlandeon, but this seemingly young old ghost in front of him.
The others came here for their own reasons, but he didn't understand why Izzy, a non-alchemist and a blank sublimator, came here.
After all, it was outrageous that an inheritor of noble blood from America was still a blank sublimator until now.
She didn't have any stigmata.
As if she was really here for a vacation, smoking, drinking and eating caviar, she wanted to make friends with Huai Shi.
But why?
We don't match.
Danbo Corporation didn't have any business dealings with America, and the relationship between the Ivory Tower and the Ivy League was even more complicated.
Huai Shi could understand why Izzy rejected him like the others.
However, this sudden kindness left him a little confused.
What was she after?
"This is the fun of traveling, Mr. Huai Shi," Izzy said with a grin.
"You don't know what will happen, and you don't know what kind of people you will meet, so you have to cherish every moment and every partner you meet. If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with maintaining a cautious attitude like you, but you will miss a lot of fun. "
"If you like traveling so much, I'll introduce a friend who loves traveling to you someday," Huai Shi suggested sincerely. "I believe you will have a common language with him."
Well, as long as you don't dislike him for always wearing a gray suit and looking like an overworked worker.
Izzy smiled and didn't say anything else.
She just looked at the way Huai Shi and his dog ate, and even added a seafood set for the dog.
Then she found that the dog didn't appreciate it. It didn't even wag its tail twice. It directly opened its mouth and swallowed the plate, and gnawed two holes in the floor.
"Is this also your work? It's amazing." Izzy sighed. "Can I borrow it to breed?"
The dog's eyes suddenly became dangerous.
Izzy chuckled and waved her hands. She was actually apologizing to a dog.
Then she offered a whole barbecue platter as an apology.
"To be honest, I really don't see the need for you to go to Helios." Huai Shi sighed and asked in confusion, "If you want to talk about alchemists, there are many in America, right? The legendary workshop, I remember that the four-leaf clover is in America, right? "
"It's not the same, Huai Shi."
Izzy shook her head and smiled cheerfully. "That's the oldest alchemy workshop, a miracle creation that can almost be traced back to the prehistoric Chaos Era. It's a legend of legends that contains the technology of the Gods' era. If I don't go there when I have the chance, it'll be a regret in my life!
Besides, don't I still have a mission? "
Mission?
To chat with an old friend on behalf of her parents?
I'll be damned if I believe you!
Huai Shi shook his head, bowed his head, and finished his noodles, and politely said goodbye.
Izzy still sat in the same place, enjoying her dinner.
When the elevator door opened, Huai Shi's movements paused for a moment. He didn't expect there to be people inside.
It was the one-eyed alchemist named Ragnar, and another man named Rachel.
The two seemed to be arguing in a low voice, and the impatient Ragnar had already pulled Rachel's collar.
At the elevator entrance, Huai Shi coughed in a low voice.
He paused and looked at Du Moo coldly.
Huai Shi and the dog also looked over curiously.
"Good evening, both of you."
Huai Shi said, "Do you mind letting me use the elevator?"
In the long silence, Ragnar slowly let go of his hand and patted Rachel's collar. Rachel ran out of the elevator like he was escaping, not even saying thank you.
Ragnar gave Huai Shi a mocking look. "If I were you, I wouldn't meddle in other people's business, Huai Shi … 'Mister.'"
"I'm used to it."
Huai Shi shrugged, raised his hand, and pressed the up button to stop the elevator from closing.
Ragnar snorted and walked straight out, trying to knock away Huai Shi who was blocking the way. But Huai Shi was still smiling, and even the dog behind him stuck out his tongue happily.
Full of expectation.
He seemed to have noticed something.
Ragnar's movements paused for a moment, and his expression became gloomier. He turned sideways in humiliation and brushed past Huai Shi.
Behind him, as the elevator door slowly closed, he suddenly turned back and glanced coldly into the elevator. The Eye of Truth lit up with a sharp light, brewing some kind of malice and curse.
But then, everything seemed to have changed.
At Huai Shi's feet, the overly lively wolfdog suddenly tilted its head and looked over.
Grin.
Simple and honest smile.
But under the gaze of the Eye of Truth, the funny smile rapidly expanded, multiplied, and changed shape. After tearing apart the original camouflage, it turned into an amorphous ferocious outline.
A wriggling gloom.
Like a crack leading to the abyss, it outlined the terrifying reflection of a predator.
The indescribably ferocious essence of the abyss wrapped around its two pairs of asymmetrical and strange eyes, and endless darkness gushed out from them.
It was as if the incarnation of the abyss had descended here, wanting to tear everything in front of it apart and greedily devour all the starlight into its belly.
The startling reflection made Ragnar freeze in place in disbelief.
But when he subconsciously looked at Huai Shi, the elevator door was about to close, and he couldn't see his face clearly. At that moment, he just felt a sharp pain.
From the anxiety and pain in his eyes.
Light.
It was as if there was endless light gushing out from between the closed iron doors, spreading violently and solemnly, covering everything in it.
Burning everything to nothing!
Pa!
A crisp sound burst out of the silence.
Blood-colored tears seeped out from the corners of his eyes.
A terrible crack spread out from this incomparably precious eye.
In the dead silence, Ragnar froze in place as if he had turned into a stone statue.
After a long, long time, the man raised his finger, pierced his eye socket, and took off the eyeball.
Without pity, he crushed the eyeball to pieces.
His five fingers clenched.
Then, a faint light came through, and when his five fingers unfolded again, an intact and magnificent eye had appeared in his hand.
It returned to his eye socket.
'Ragnar' turned and walked to the restaurant.
As if nothing had happened.
.
That night, late at night, Huai Shi, who was tossing and turning, had a strange dream.
In a trance, he seemed to have turned into stone, into running water, and into the wind.
Shuttling through the barren land and the world.
He vaguely caught a glimpse of a lonely figure on a horse.
The middle-aged man with stubble on his face was so haggard and his eyes were empty. He wandered through the world like a beggar, bending down and speaking to all the living things he encountered.
To birds, snakes, insects, flowers, dragons in the sky, elves in the water, and demons in the dark caves.
A humble plea.
A plea.
In the end, Huai Shi finally heard the hollow and numb voice.
The man raised his head and looked at Huai Shi.
It was as if he had caught a glimpse of an outsider who had broken into this dream from a long time ago.
The hoarse voice was like thunder, bursting out from Huai Shi's soul, almost causing his consciousness to collapse.
He said:
"Please, mourn for him –"
