Hearing Lorissa's confident tone, Hao Ren calmed down from the initial shock. He looked at the mage emperor clone in front of him and asked, "How do you know?"
"The Star of Creation is full of sacred energy, which is clearly felt even in the illusion. Its surface is a liquid ocean, which reflects a special halo in space. Its characteristics are very obvious," Lorissa explained carefully. Hao Ren did not know these details before. "The crimson moon in the illusion is completely different. I have seen it twice in my prayers, and I am sure that it does not have the unique holy energy of the Star of Creation, and I can see strange shadows and lines on the surface of the crimson moon. Just by looking at it, it is more like a solid shell. In every illusion, the Crimson Moon hung high over a dark and barren land. It rose from the horizon, and its light seemed to cover the whole world. A trembling feeling would clench your heart. It was the complete opposite of the peace and tranquility you felt when you looked at the Star of Creation. "
Lorissa's description completely refuted other speculations. The characteristics she described were 100% consistent with the crimson moon summoned by Vivian!
"What's wrong?" Lorissa noticed the strange expression on Hao Ren's face and could not help but ask.
"No, nothing," Hao Ren shook his head. "Your information is very important, but I still need more detailed information about the religious life during the Ancient Magic Empire and every oracle the goddess of creation gave you in the last few years. I need it all."
"Of course, no problem," Lorissa smiled. "There is still a lot of time. I can tell you slowly."
It was late at night after the long talk with Lorissa.
Those who went to bed early had gone to bed. Even Rollie, who was the most noisy at night, had fallen asleep early because of the crazy two days of playing. So at this moment, only Hao Ren and Lorissa were left in the living room, except for Lil Pea, who was lying on the basin and nodding her head.
When they were talking business, the atmosphere looked very serious, so no one came to disturb them. After living together for so long, the tenants and the landlord were already familiar with each other. They knew that if it was important, Hao Ren would take the initiative to say it. If he did not say it, there was no need to ask. So when it was time to go to bed, everyone went back to their rooms.
But Hao Ren knew that Vivian should not be asleep yet. According to her habit, she should be cleaning up the room on the second floor at this time. After that, she would fly out from the skylight for a walk, bask in the moon, and inspect her territory. When she came back, it would be after midnight. In fact, she was the one who slept the least in the family. Basically, she slept for two to three hours a day or even less. No wonder Lily joked that Vivian's hibernation phenomenon was to save up all the sleep she missed every day. She slept for three hundred years and slept for a hundred years. Her regular hibernation was purely because she was sleepy.
Hao Ren thought for a moment and decided not to talk to Vivian about the crimson moon now. After all, it was already late at night, and there was no way to verify it immediately. It would only cause more insomnia. It would be better to talk about it tomorrow.
"Your room is upstairs," Hao Ren said to Lorissa. "Vivian has prepared it for you. You can go up to her."
There were no spare rooms in the house. But these days, the small restaurant opened by Wuyue's parents was getting on the right track. The couple decided to rent a house next to the restaurant at the corner of the street and move in. That way, Hao Ren would have one more spare room.
"Sorry to bother you for the next few days." Lorissa stood up with a smile on her face and bowed gracefully. "Good night, Your Holiness of the Otherworld."
Hao Ren smiled and did not try to correct the strange way Lorissa addressed him. After watching Lorissa go upstairs, he turned and went back to his room.
It was a quiet night.
The morning sun shone on the old roofs and streets of the Southern Suburbs, waking up the city after a night of sleep.
In Hao Ren's mansion, a new day always started with a ruckus. Rollie would be yelled at by Hao Ren when she scratched the door, or Lily would squat in the living room after she woke up hungry and howled, or Nangong Sanba would be dragged out of bed by his sister. Even if none of the above happened, Noobie would come out of the mouse hole, run into everyone's room, and biubiubiu in everyone's face.
Eventually, everyone would get up noisily.
Vivian had prepared breakfast early to prevent the husky from screaming again. A large pot of hot coarse grain porridge and red bean buns steamed last night were placed on the table. This was the simple but delicious breakfast in the Pope's palace. Lily sat cross-legged on the chair, holding a pair of chopsticks with three buns on it like a skewer of candied haws in one hand, and holding a bowl of porridge in the other, she gulped it down. Vivian, who sat opposite her, could not help but frown. "Can't you be more polite? You are a girl after all. "
Vivian was poor, and she had been poor for 10,000 years, but she still had the pride of being the ancestor of the Blood Clan. Back then, she was so poor that she still insisted on having one meal a day. Vivian really could not stand Lily's way of eating.
But the husky did not care. She was quite reasonable. "I eat a lot. If I eat according to the rules of you vampires, I will starve to death in a few days (gulp). Besides, I have something to do later. I have to go out after eating (chew)."
Vivian looked at her suspiciously. "What can you have?"
"In the backstreet, Bean Bun gave birth to a litter of puppies with a female dog that came from out of town. Then, the female dog decided to stay at Bean Bun's place and refused to leave. She even chased Bean Bun out and found another dog to occupy his place. Bean Bun is now homeless and sleeps in the garbage. The former gang leader of the Southern Suburbs is now doing worse than Old Huang on North Street. That unlucky guy has lost his purpose in life because of the mockery of other dogs. He has been depressed recently. I will go and give him psychological counseling later. I will also go and see the litter of puppies. "
Nangong Sanba was stunned. "F * ck me. Even the circle of dogs is so messy."
Vivian shook her head. She was already used to all kinds of situations in Lily's army. She had seen things a hundred times messier than this. How could it be as messy as Mount Olympus?
"No matter how serious it is, wait until after the meal. At least put your legs down and sit properly. Rollie has finally learned how to sit properly these two days. If you give her another bad example, you will lead her astray." Vivian glanced at Lily. She then grabbed a piece of raw meat from a small plate and threw it in a certain direction without looking. "Noobie, eat!"
A black shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of the wall and rushed into the air like lightning. It turned out that the figurine Vivian had come out from her hiding place. She caught the piece of meat in the air and dropped it on the ground. But the little one did not care about this small mistake. She rolled over, rolled the meat up, put it on her shoulder, and quickly ran back to her mouse hole. The whole process was very skillful.
To be honest, Hao Ren had more than once suspected that the little one was pretending to be crazy. She was so smart when she was being fed. She did not look like she was brainless.
"You are getting better at feeding her now." Hao Ren swallowed the last mouthful of porridge and looked at Noobie's mouse hole. "She seems to be a little more human after you feed her."
"No, you haven't improved at all. You go crazy again as soon as you're full." Vivian curled her lips. "You're the same as Big Dog. You forget who made the meal after eating."
Lily was not happy when she heard this. She put down the bowl and said, "Battie, watch what you say! Can't you find someone with a brain to compare with me? "
Hao Ren coughed twice and interrupted them. "Ahem, all right, both of you really can't have a day of peace. Vivian, I want to ask you something."
Vivian was about to get up and clean the dishes when she heard Hao Ren. "What is it?"
"The Crimson Moon that you summoned … Do you know what it is?"
"Crimson Moon?" Vivian could not help but frown. "Is this question important?"
"Quite important."
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know." Vivian spread out her hand. "Most of the time I summon the crimson moon is when I'm in a state of confusion before hibernation. At that time, I don't even remember my name, and the experience of summoning the crimson moon when I'm awake is very limited. It's a huge drain on me, and I can't even control my own mind. So unless it's not necessary, I try not to use it."
Hao Ren frowned. He had expected Vivian's answer, but he still did not want to give up. "Do you think the Crimson Moon is real or just a projection?"
"How could it be real?" Vivian could not help but laugh. "Can I really summon a celestial body?"
Hao Ren did not laugh. Instead, he thought seriously. "Even if it's just a projection, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Have you ever thought about where the Crimson Moon is located? Since it's hanging in the sky, everyone can see it. Optically speaking, it can be 'reached'. At least there's something there, whether it's a physical body or a shadow. Have you ever studied this? "
Vivian sensed the seriousness of the question from Hao Ren's tone. She could not help but become serious. "To be honest, I'm really curious about this. Once, after summoning the Crimson Moon, I flew towards it, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach it …"
Lily burst out laughing. "Nonsense! Have you heard of the carrot on a stick? That thing is a projection based on you. When you move, it moves. How can you fly up? "
Vivian immediately glared at the dog sister. "How can I not think of this? Later, I sent little bats to fly up to the Crimson Moon while I waited on the ground. It didn't work either! "
Hao Ren nodded. "There are two explanations for this. First, the Crimson Moon's existence is beyond our understanding. The light it emits may be discontinuous in space, not even based on the general laws of space and time, so we can't reach it. Second, it's as big as a real celestial body, and its position is far away from the planet's orbit. Vivian can't break through the atmosphere, so naturally, she can't fly up to it."
Vivian looked at Hao Ren curiously. "You want to …"
"I want to study the Crimson Moon you summoned," Hao Ren said seriously. "It's best if I can go there and see it with my own eyes."
