"You're Roland, right?" As Roland stared at the "Erosion" in deep thought, Lan suddenly spoke.
"Ah... yes, it's me." Roland recovered from his heavy thoughts, and Garcia's words suddenly flashed in his mind... Wait, is she looking for trouble with me for standing her up?
"I've heard Garcia mention you several times." She didn't look at Roland, so Roland couldn't see her expression. "She said that you're one of the few independent Awakened who hasn't been affected by desires, which is very rare for ordinary people. She's very happy that you're willing to join the Association."
"Uh... really?" Roland braced himself and replied.
The independent she mentioned should be the same as wild, but he remembered that the night he agreed to join, Garcia asked him to fill out the application with almost no expression on her face. How could she be happy?
"Although I hate people who are not punctual, this is a common problem for most people. After all, you can't feel the passage of time, and you can't hear it ticking. So, for some special people, it's not an intolerable shortcoming."
Inexplicably, Roland felt that when the Chief Disciple said these words, there was a hint of emotion.
"But there's one thing you need to know. Even though there aren't many special people, there are still quite a few of them. If you don't cherish your own uniqueness and make full use of it, you'll be eliminated sooner or later."
Was this a warning to him to serve the association wholeheartedly and not to stir up trouble like the other wild Awakened ones? Roland frowned in his heart. He really did not like this kind of preaching warning. He might not have minded it before, but after becoming the King of Graycastle, his state of mind had changed.
"You can leave now." Lan turned around and said unhurriedly, "Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. It may help you. Next —! "
Roland curled his lips and did not take this short conversation seriously.
Now, a huge cloud of confusion was shrouding him.
As for whether the Martialist Association could defeat the Erosion and save the world, he did not care at all.
After returning to his seat, he was still frowning.
What on earth was God thinking?
According to the research data of the underground civilization, the Bloody Moon was the key to transforming magic power and the foundation of the Dream World. In a sense, it was equivalent to the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if it wanted to swallow the Dream World, it did not have to show its original appearance, did it?
The witches could see the real body of the Bloody Moon because it was the real world, but this place was a fictitious territory based on his and Zero's memories. Didn't this mean that the person with the tube at the back of the brain could see the circuit signals running behind the world?
Or could it be that his previous speculations were all wrong, and there was a deviation in his understanding of the information, causing him to guess in the wrong direction?
"Well, do you believe me now?" Garcia glanced at him. "That's definitely not something that can exist in reality."
"I never suspected you." Roland shook his head and temporarily suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart. "But your master isn't as scary as you say."
"What's wrong with master?" She was slightly stunned.
"She told me a lot of things about being a special person and having high hopes for the Association," Roland joked casually. "By the way … she also said that you were very happy that I agreed to join the Association. Is that true? I didn't see it at all. "
Speaking of this, he deliberately looked at the former Princess of Ravenna to see what kind of expression she would show. Would she deny it or cover it up in a hurry? Whatever it was, it should be very interesting.
But he never expected that she would look at him with a "you're really a fool" look.
"What are you talking about?" Garcia rolled her eyes. "When you were on the platform, master didn't say anything at all … Do you think I'm blind?"
Roland could not help but be stunned.
"This distance may be a little far for ordinary people, but I'm a martialist. I can clearly see how many hairs you have on the platform. Do you want to lie to me? You're too young, "she said disdainfully.
"Didn't … say anything?"
Just when he was about to ask a few more questions, Lan had already closed the glass box and clapped her hands to focus everyone's attention on the podium. This time, the discussion in the hall was much quieter.
"Our world is not flat, but on a membrane. Some people can understand this, and some people can't, but it doesn't matter, as long as you listen to me." She turned around and let the screen behind her show what she was saying. "This membrane has a curvature. Generally speaking, it appears to be an arc. In some places, this change will be more obvious. If there is another world beyond this one, then there is a possibility that the two worlds will meet at one point, and this intersection is called the Erosion. "
"Of course, this is just a speculation, but it is the only speculation that can explain the strange phenomenon we are seeing. Ever since the Erosion was discovered, the various countries have never stopped studying it. Unfortunately, the world over there has a completely different rule, and any method of detection is declared ineffective. Even the matter here can't maintain stability after crossing the border. As you can see, that iron rod is the proof. "
"What does this have to do with the Fallen Evils?" someone asked.
"Of course it does. The power they obtain comes from another membrane. This is also the reason why the Fallen Evils are not afraid of the Mortal Force. The overlapping membrane temporarily connects the two worlds. I don't know what effect this will have on the other world, but for us, the rule still works. The energy spreads from a higher place to a lower place, creating a series of incredible phenomena. " Lan raised her voice. "To be exact, not only the Fallen Evils, but every awakened person is related to this energy."
"What … did you say?"
"My power only belongs to me. It has nothing to do with the bullsh * t membrane!"
"Does the Martialist Association think that there is no difference between us and the Fallen Evils?"
The hall suddenly burst into an uproar.
This time, Lan did not say anything to stop them. She waited until everyone became quiet before she continued, "Of course there is a difference. We can control it, but the Fallen Evils can't. But we have to admit that in a sense, we are very similar to the Fallen Evils, especially when it comes to resisting the Mortal Force. I don't know if you've ever considered this question. Since you can control the Force of Nature freely and become immune to any harm, why didn't the martialists dominate the whole world? "
"This …" People murmured.
"Because the Erosion won't last forever," Lan said bluntly. "As the curvature changes, the overlapping membranes will gradually separate until the next reunion. This cycle can be long or short. If it's short, it can be separated at dawn and if it's long, it can be counted as hundreds of millions of years. The Erosion we encountered was about 2,000 years ago, and the overlapping time was less than 100 years ago. Once it is severed, the Force of Nature will disappear without a trace. So, even if there are awakened ones who become unparalleled overlords and unify the world, the gap of more than two thousand years is enough for the empire he created to vanish. "
"It's thousands of years. Even the common history can't be described clearly. How do you know what happened in the past?" Although there were still people who raised doubts, their attitude was much more restrained.
"I don't know," the Chief Disciple said frankly. "It's just a hypothesis. 2,000 years ago, there was no scientific observation and recording method. If we want to verify it, we can only wait until 2,000 years later. But don't forget, history is always full of amazing coincidences. As long as we compare the biographies and history books of various regions, we will find that many heroes and legends were born in that period. Further back, it was the era of the emergence of myths. Most of the myths are related to doomsday and salvation. Can we think that it was the Erosion that caused all of this? "
There was a brief silence. After a while, someone asked, "Even if those heroes were awakened by the Force of Nature, what does it have to do with us? According to you, even if we don't do anything, the Erosion will end by itself. So what's the point of fighting against the Erosion? "
