"Why use a magic array that has no effect?" This was the first question that the World Trees had.
Lin replied, "Not having any effect means that there are infinite possibilities. If a magic effect is fixed, it means that the characteristics of the maze will be fixed. Then, the question is, from the perspective of requirements, what does the maze really need? It seems that any direction is fine, and any method is good. When there are too many choices, it's no different from having no choices. Therefore, I think that having no effect is the best effect. "
"Then what do you mean by all-encompassing?" This was the second question that the World Trees had.
"One is the position of the sun, and nine is the number of the sun, so one and nine are pairs. Two is the position of the lesser yin, and eight is the number of the lesser yin, so two and eight are pairs. Three is the position of the lesser yang, and seven is the number of the lesser yang, so three and seven are pairs. Four is the position of the greater yin, and six is the number of the greater yin, so four and six are pairs. It's easy to talk about the number of the Ancient Book. The principles of Yin and Yang, the numbers of oddities, and the positions are all connected. Although the words are not explicitly stated, it's as easy as pointing at a palm. With 'I (five)' as the center, the horizontal, horizontal, and opposite corners are stable and balanced. This is the theory of the four dimensions. There are still many reasons behind this. If you really want to talk about it in detail, three days and three nights won't be enough. Your Majesties have amazing calculation abilities. Why don't you freely deduce the reasons behind this? Is it worthy of the term 'all-encompassing'? "
Although a certain someone said that, the World Trees didn't deduce it because they had another question. "What's the reason why we have to do this and modify the magic array that is naturally formed in the maze?"
Lin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "For example, the self-cultivation mentioned earlier doesn't actually involve advancement. That method is more like polishing yourself so that you can absorb and store more authority. If authority is water and your Majesties are cups, King Yuktrasir and King Fasnath are faced with a situation where the cups are already full. If you want to hold more water, you have to find a way to make the cups bigger. The same is true for the maze. Eight Authorities, each World Tree connected to eight worlds, this was the upper limit of the Lost Land. If you want to increase the upper limit and free yourselves from the restrictions, it's useless to rely on your own efforts alone. You must think of a way to make the bewildering land a bigger container. "
"Then can the Book of Luo you mentioned do this?"
Faced with his doubts, Lin Hui replied, "I can't guarantee that the Book of Luo will be able to do this. However, I am certain that the original top-heavy elementary meditation formation absolutely cannot achieve this, so it must be changed. Furthermore, there were two benefits to using the Book of Luo as a bewildering array. First, there was no limit to the size of each node. This formation only cared about the number of nodes. At that time, the strength of the various emperors would not affect the function of the Book of Luo. After all, it had no function. This also avoids creating a situation where the present is perfect, but the future is unknown. "
For the first reason, all the trees agreed. If they were to consider the situation of being completely lost, the condition was that they had to limit their own growth. Even if they agreed to cooperate, everyone would be unwilling and unwilling. Having no limits was the best situation.
"The second benefit is that the main method of communicating with all the nodes, which is the way to connect all the World Trees, is not to rely on the terrain that may change with time, but the void passage that the various emperors have taken the initiative to connect. As long as these 45 nodes are protected, including the ones that are prepared for the dead tree, the formation will be intact. Relatively speaking, if any of the nodes are destroyed, or if any of the emperors are unwilling to be bound by this and break the connection, then the Book of Luo will cease to exist. It is a weakness, but also a guarantee in the hands of the various emperors. Other than that, even if the World Trees develop in the future, it will not affect the Book of Luo. "
"Then are we not going to change the actual terrain of the bewildering land?" A tree asked.
Lin Hui replied, "We still have to change it, but there is no urgency. We can do it quietly without making a big fuss and making everyone know. The advantage of doing this is that we can reduce the possibility of resistance. After all, the places that are connected in the plan will cross the human territory. It is not all natural environments, we only need to fight with the magical beasts. If we have to fight with the humans, then there will be no end to this. Moreover, even if we don't change it, with the influence of the communication between the World Trees, won't it affect the bewildering land and cause the terrain to naturally change in this direction? "
"Perhaps, we can consider asking the human kingdoms to join us in the transformation of the bewildering land. They have manpower and more resources, why not use them? "A World Tree suggested.
Lin shook his head and rejected the suggestion. He said, "The so-called powerful are greedy, because what they consider is not the benefit of one person, but the benefit of everyone who depends on them. The loss they are worried about is not their own loss, but the loss that could happen to any one of their supporters. Under such a premise, how much would the various emperors be willing to pay in exchange for the help of the human kingdoms or nobles? Moreover, this help can give you greater power and the opportunity to reach a higher level. Then, how much would this help be worth in the eyes of the kings or nobles? "
Changing the topic, Lin shook his head and said, "Moreover, to be honest, I don't want the knowledge of the 'Book of Luo' to be known by others. I don't want too many people to be involved in this matter, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. "
The reason why he dared to bring his scientific knowledge to the bewildering land was because he could predict the possible development of that knowledge. If he could predict it, then he could control it. But what about the occult knowledge of Earth? Was it really the same as it was in his hometown, where other than making people talk and acting mysterious, it was useless?
If it was really that useless, then why was a certain someone who had woven a black tortoise pattern on his robe played so badly?
If the occult knowledge of Earth did not have any effect, then it was like a tank without gasoline, it was no different from a piece of scrap metal. After filling the tank with gasoline and cannonballs, would it still be called 'scrap metal'? Therefore, a certain someone could not guarantee what would happen if the formation of the Book of Luo was placed in the bewildering land.
Under such uncertain circumstances, the safest thing to do was not to use it or mention it, just like what Lin had done before. But if he had to use it, then he would conceal it as much as possible and delay the time for others to learn about it. This could only be regarded as doing his best and leaving the rest to fate.
However, the World Trees were neither aware of a certain someone's concerns, nor did they care. Mackinin said sarcastically, "Your Excellency, are you reminding us not to trust humans?"
"Of course, why should we trust humans? Deceit, selfishness, treachery, all kinds of bad characters can be seen in this race. Not to mention those aristocratic lords who live like princes. In their eyes, the lives of civilians and soldiers are no different from ants. Naturally, we can't expect them to be trustworthy. "
"Then what about Your Excellency?" Mackinin asked pointedly.
"Of course, I can't be trusted. Why should you trust me? I'm not a World Tree, I'm just a human. Whether this group is good or bad has nothing to do with me. Under such circumstances, it is very strange that Your Majesties allowed me to sit in on the High Seat Conference. You didn't even hesitate to expose some secrets that should be strictly guarded in front of me. I really want to ask Your Majesties if this is right. … "
A certain someone's confession left the World Trees dumbfounded.
"… The difference between me and those aristocratic lords is probably that I don't have the capital to pay the price of betrayal. So, as long as the two sides agree, I'm more trustworthy than demons. "
With such a clear hint, Yuktrasir asked directly: "What do you want, Your Excellency?"
He finally brought up the issue of reward. Otherwise, it would feel like he was doing something virtuous. Lin didn't feel embarrassed, but spoke frankly:
"Knowledge. In the process of helping all of you, the knowledge that I have obtained is my greatest reward. If you want to talk about specific goals, there are indeed two. "One of them is the spatial folding technique, which I once saw from His Majesty Fasnus. It can make a space bigger or smaller, but it's not an illusion. The other is the road sign of a certain world. I believe that I can obtain these two pieces of knowledge in the process of helping you. But if Your Majesties are willing to tell me frankly, that would be great. "
"Road sign of a certain world?" The road sign of a new world is the key to a World Tree's advancement. Of course, it can't be released casually. Even as an ancient, Yuktrasir doesn't have the authority to ask other World Trees to do so. If he wants it, he has to snatch it.
He knows that this request for World Trees is like digging out a person's wallet. People who dare to say this will burn incense if they aren't beaten to death. So Lin explained: "Don't worry, I'm not a World Tree. I can't occupy this kind of thing. I think Your Majesties have probably guessed my origins. I'm just looking for a way to go back to the world I came from. "
In response to such a request, Yuktrasir was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sir Tripwood, if you are looking for a road sign of a certain world, I can open up what I have access to for your observation and research. But I have to say that an outsider like you doesn't necessarily follow the trail of any World Tree to the Misty World. In other words, your question may not be answered by us. Is that okay? "
Lin made a mage's salute and said: "Your Majesty Yuktrasir's willingness to cooperate is already the greatest help to me. I have no reason to take my anger out on you because of any result. Besides, not being able to find the answer on you is also an answer. "
"Indeed. Then Your Majesty, if you want to set up this huge magic array in the Misty World, there is still a problem that has not been solved. Have you thought about this? "the wise ancient asked.
"Your Majesty, are you referring to the World Tree that is controlled by the Elven Kingdom and has not been liberated?"
