"That's a concept proposed by the Almighty Enkors."
A silver-white inscription appeared on the man's hand. He waved his finger, but no book flew out from the shelf.
"That book was borrowed by the man in black seventeen years ago."
The man in gray glanced at the empty spot on the shelf and remembered that a large portion of his collection had been borrowed by the man in black.
"What does the man in black want those books for?"
"He and the man in blue have been investigating a mysterious religious belief."
The man in gray waved his hand again, and another book flew out from the shelf and landed in Josiah's hand.
The text of the book was still an ancient and unknown language. The man in gray thoughtfully added a line of annotation at the bottom of the paper.
"Object from the outside world?"
Josiah read out the annotation.
"It records a religion that people believed in many years ago. I think it's the predecessor of the Court of Heresy," the man in gray said.
"… That." Josiah took out his drawing again. "I just want to figure out the identity of the owner of this arm and her weakness … If she's a magic doll, is there a switch to turn it off?"
"This book mentions a magic-guided machine that can lock onto a creature's mind and thoughts. Its fuel is human emotions, and its function is to fix a specific thought and emotion in the mind."
As the man in gray said this, an owl perched on his shoulder and seemed to be whispering something to him.
"It still sounds complicated. Was this thing made by the predecessor of the Court of Heresy?"
Josiah flipped open the book again. Josiah still couldn't understand a word of the content.
"This is the 'evil thing' that the religion wanted to destroy. The creator was executed by them." At this point, the owl on his arm flapped its wings and flew away. He looked at the Sage Tower in the distance. "The black-clothed man will speak in more detail than I will. He will soon speak about this at the Sage Council. Are you interested?"
"I … can go to the Sage Council?"
Josiah remembered that only sages could enter that meeting.
"As a predetermined successor apprentice, I have the right to listen in." The grey-clothed man glanced at Hiri who was beside Josiah and said, "Although you are not my apprentice, you are my mentor."
Josiah was a programming teacher at Ruhrsk Academy. This old sage was the smartest student in Josiah's class.
"Looks like I can only go and listen."
Josh felt like he was playing an RPG game, where he had to run back and forth between several NPCs in order to achieve his goal. Occasionally, an NPC would even say, "I'll only tell you if you catch three chickens for me".
However, Josiah felt that this kind of experience should also be one of the fun parts of the game, as long as it wasn't too complicated.
… …
This was Josiah's second time wandering around the Sage Council. The last time Josiah came, he only saw the man in white.
Today, apart from the blue-clothed and purple-clothed sages, all the other sages were present.
An ancient book and a large pile of blueprints were floating in front of the man in black. It seemed that he was explaining the results of his many years of research to the sages.
"You guys continue."
Josiah noticed that the other five sages were looking at him. He waved his hand and found a place to sit in a remote corner.
The man in red wanted to say something, but in the end, he gave up. As an old acquaintance of Noland's five sages, they had no objections to Josiah sitting here.
"The so-called 'real world' in our eyes is the world that we first see, touch and feel, so we think that this world is real. In the 'real world' in the eyes of canine creatures, such things as colour do not exist, because the world in the eyes of dogs is grey and white …" The man in black began to narrate a lot of things that Josiah could not understand.
"Are you going to get straight to the point?"
The man in yellow looked even more impatient than Josiah. Some time ago, he had followed the man in black to support the high elves, and had suffered quite a bit from the high elves. However, he had obtained a rather useful piece of information, and that was that he had found the 'gaming friends' of his chief apprentice on the Weave.
"What I want to explain is that … Otherworldly creatures do not exist in our world."
The man in black waved his hand, and a large piece of paper appeared in front of him. There was a ball of charcoal drawn on the paper, and below it were the words' Otherworldly Creatures' written in the common language of the world.
"We cannot recognize it, or rather, we do not see it or have the ability to touch it."
"So? You want to say that this thing has been lingering around me for a long time? "The man in yellow interrupted the man in black again.
The more Josh listened to the story, the more he felt that it sounded like something out of the Cthulhu Mythos. If it really was one of those 'strange' existences, Josh really didn't have a way to destroy it.
"No, because of this, it cannot enter our world!" The man in black slammed his hands on the table, and looked at all the sages present with a serious gaze, "The inhabitants of the human race and other intelligent races do not know what 'Otherworldly Creatures' are, so it does not exist in this world at all."
"But the heretical court of the Nation of Saints is trying to summon that thing."
The man in red suddenly said, his relationship with the Nation of Saints was not good recently.
"If an Otherworldly Creature wants to enter our world, it must have a large number of believers who believe that it 'exists'. Its appearance, form, and power … This will give it the ability to invade the consciousness of the origin, and when the World Tree gradually withers, it will descend into the real world!"
"Wait a minute! Did you just say the consciousness space? "Josiah raised his hand and asked the man in black.
"That's right, Joshua Yanorod. You've touched the sacred tree of our race, so you should have the right to enter that place. When I was young, I mistakenly entered that space as well. It's a world of nothingness, and the emotions of all intelligent beings are gathered there. Anything from the outside world that enters that space will be treated as food. We won't be able to resist at all!" The black-clothed man warned everyone in a loud voice.
"Then what should we do? Should we summon all the soldiers of the world to Assequero to touch your World Tree? Then line up one by one to enter that consciousness space to fight that monster? "The man in yellow said sarcastically.
