Stray Chapter 236: Silent
"So what are you going to do? Help them?"
Abandoning those unnecessary thoughts, Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly and asked such a question.
In all fairness, she still hopes that the person in front of her can help the two gods. After all, the first impression of the two gods on her was not bad, and she did not leave any bad feelings.
"I think so too, but unfortunately I really don't have the ability..." Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth. At this time, he agreed with what the previous monster girl named Yayunzi said. "Compared to them, my current ability is nothing at all..."
This is a fundamental problem for the **** to maintain his body, and he has no way of doing it.
By potions? But Xia Ran searched all the alchemy formulas in her mind, and there were potions for healing injuries, restoring magic power, and even prolonging lifespan and transforming blood, but there was no formula that could supplement the power of faith.
And most importantly, after leaving that quest world, there was a serious problem with these recipes-
Supply of raw materials.
Whether it is the real world or other worlds, it is difficult to find the exact same materials, such as death knell, dragon bone dragon scale, snow troll fat... and so on.
Because even other worlds have giant dragons and trolls, but there are bound to be differences that cannot be ignored and cannot be generalized. And it's not just the alchemy formula, the enchantment formula is the same.
It's not completely abolished, because with the help of Mephala's magic laboratory, he devoted a lot of time to understanding the characteristics of various materials. Coupled with the detailed explanation of the devil, he It is very clear about the properties of those materials and the reactions and effects they play in the process of alchemy and enchanting.
If we can start from this aspect, there is still hope... but it is very difficult, just like re-conceiving new formulas or formulas according to ideas, even if it is alchemy or enchanting skills strengthened to A-level, it is estimated that Very hanging, there is no hope.
If knowledge of potions can't be done, what about knowledge of magic? Can you provide some help?
Unfortunately, this can't be done either, as there is hardly even a concept of this in that world's system. Probably caused by the difference in worldviews, the mysterious system in The Elder Scrolls does not have much in-depth research on the field of "belief".
The only certainty is that the Holy Spirit is the corpse and reflection of God, essentially a mortal's memory of Idra, an incarnation shaped by faith. In a sense, the common nature of the power of faith seems to be the same, and they can all shape gods.
However, it is only limited to this, because that world has not experienced the era of the end of the law, and there is no need for holy spirits to compete with each other for faith, and there is no such thing as a holy spirit completely severing faith...
So no one knows what will happen to the incarnation of Idra, the Holy Spirit, if the faith is completely lost... If there is no appearance, no demand, naturally no one will study it.
Therefore, even after obtaining the knowledge inheritance of the complete magic system of a world, Xia Ran was very helpless to find that he couldn't find any solution, and if he insisted on giving him a plan-
He can only suggest that the two gods go out directly and become idols... Anyway, the problem is that in the current era, people have lost their awe for the mystery, and began to believe in science and intelligence, resulting in the gods failing to collect beliefs.
But since the previous form of religious worship is no longer feasible, why not just use another way to collect beliefs?
It's a pity that the two gods probably won't agree. The gods may not be so high-minded, but they are still gods and have their bottom line.
"Although I don't understand it very well, I can hear it. They don't want you to have any ability to help them or give them useful advice, but they want to take advantage of your special qualities, right?"
Yukinoshita frowned slightly, wondering.
"Of course I know this, but... there is no way around it. In that case, they may die faster." Xia Ran's mouth twitched a few times, probably remembering that after her return that day, the inspection When I didn't read the prompt message, I saw a series of obliteration notices.
Smuggling is not going to end well. Although he has no reason to believe that Mephala must have completed the smuggling, it is still uncertain what method the demon **** used to break it into pieces, and he paid for it. What kind of price, what kind of state is it in now...
In short, the space is very cruel to the consciousness of aliens who have not obtained permission to smuggle it. If it is said to be obliterated, it will be obliterated. The treatment that the lost cannot enjoy is completely used in this regard.
Although Xia Ran knew what the two gods wanted to seek in her body, she really couldn't agree, because the only result was beyond doubt... That's not a possibility, but an absolute dead end .
Only, the truth is such a truth, how should I refuse it?
This is where he's a little bit tangled.
"Actually, Xia Ran, if you really can't do anything about it, don't force yourself..." The blue-and-white witch on the opposite side probably saw the teenager's entanglement and guessed the other party's thoughts, so she said with a smile, "Suwako-sama and the others won't make you angry because of such a thing."
"I believe this..." Xia Ran nodded slightly perfunctoryly, then looked at the girl Feng Zhu curiously, "But Sanae-san, if there is nothing you can do, you will move into that fantasy town. Go, don't you have a little bit of rejection?"
"This...there are some." Dongfengya Sanae thought for a while, then nodded honestly, "But this is also impossible, Suwako-sama and the others can't continue like this, and I actually want to visit that place too."
"Why?" It was Yukinoshita who asked the question.
The girl is slightly puzzled. Although her initial impression of monsters and gods is not bad, her instinctive fear of inhumans still exists. After all, the concept of "inhumans" is equivalent to "monsters" in a sense. exist.
So she doesn't quite understand, what's interesting about leaving the human world and entering a paradise full of inhumans and aliens.
"Because I think, or maybe I belonged to that place from the beginning." Dongfengya Sanae replied quite naturally, "Perhaps only in that place where there are monsters, my skills as a witch can have room to develop. Well..."
After all, she is a witch, a living god.
But she is trapped in a stagnant human world all day long. Even if she has a talent, she has no room to use it. On weekdays, she either goes to class, or does some housework in the shrine, and is responsible for feeding the two gods...
Over time, you may really begin to doubt the value of your life, and now for this Miss Fengzhu, the move of Moriya Shrine into Gensokyo will make her a little resistant and uncomfortable. However, it is not that there is no hope and hope at all.
"Is that so..."
Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, then said sternly: "Let's put it this way, Sanae-san, I'm not completely sure yet, so I can't give you an accurate answer..."
"In other words, Xia Ran, you actually have a solution, don't you?" Dongfenggu Sanae was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.
Sure enough, the statement that she belongs there and wants to see it is an excuse used to convince her! If there is a way, this little girl does not want to leave the environment she is familiar with, and it is very likely that she will never come back.
Xia Ran looked at Feng Zhu girl's surprised expression and still shook her head: "I can only say that there is such a possibility..."
There are no rules that are absolutely free of loopholes, especially when the lost people come from countless different world lines, and the chosen power systems and evolutionary paths are also strange and different, it is difficult to formulate an absolute standard.
It's not that all alien consciousnesses are absolutely not allowed to enter the white space except for the lost. For example, what if someone has strengthened their psychic abilities? His power is mainly reflected in various aspects of holding spirits and guardian spirits?
When he flipped through the exchange list before, he had seen this type of option appear on it, proving that this possibility does exist.
If that's the case, the space should recognize this practice, which is equivalent to granting permission to those spirits to log in-
However, Xia Ran still needs to do further verification, and can't say it until it is really confirmed that it is feasible and safe. And most importantly, he didn't think the two gods would agree to such a proposal...
I feel that they are likely to choose to become idols rather than let Xia Ran change and become a psychic king directly.
"That's pretty good too, let's go talk to Suwako-sama and the others now!" The blue-and-white witch stood up happily, "They should be preparing to give you protection, and now they are probably too. Almost there..."
“…”
“…”
The corner of Xia Ran's mouth twitched suddenly, and she suddenly felt that this kind of door-to-door benefit was a little hot. Is this a down payment?
But I really can't guarantee it, and even if it is confirmed to be feasible, you may not be able to accept that method...
……
……
The time as a guest at Moriya Shrine is over.
Although nothing bad happened until the end, on the contrary, the two gods, whether they were generous or cold, released their goodwill without exception—
They gave both Xia Ran and Yukinoshita protection, which is one of the manifestations of the power of the gods.
It's hard to explain the specific effect, it's more general and vague, but it's undoubtedly a relatively powerful permanent effect, which can be regarded as a great gift...especially in the state of the two gods. Xia Ran felt the weight of the gift even more.
And then, I was even more worried about the consequences if I couldn't come up with a feasible method in the future, although he didn't intuitively think that those two people were the type who would turn their backs on this kind of thing, However, it is better to be cautious...
Well, I reincarnate every ten days. As long as there are no accidents, I can grow a lot, and no matter what these two gods say, I can't stand it now, so I will delay it for ten or eight years. Come again next year?
At that time, with conservative estimates, Xia Ran should have the ability to protect herself no matter what? Or to put it more modestly, is there a chance to solve the problems that the two of them encountered?
Just when Xia Ran was thinking about using the omnipotent procrastination tactic, Xuexia, who was walking in front of her, turned around in confusion, she waved her arm, and then exhaled softly: "I seem to... Didn't feel anything special?"
"This, the protection of the gods is a kind of protection, not to directly increase your strength... It doesn't feel normal." Xia Ran converged her thoughts and explained seriously, "For example, if If your luck is better, will you directly feel it?"
"Is that so?" Yukinoshita nodded calmly and gently.
“…”
“…”
A strange silence followed, and after leaving Moriya Shrine, the two suddenly seemed to have nothing to say.
And at this time, the sun was already sloping westward, and before I knew it, the day with many twists and turns seemed to be over, and the book club that was scheduled at the beginning was not completed.
"Let's go back."
After a long time, the girl whispered, and Xia Ran nodded silently.
Then on the way home, the two never spoke again. The girl didn't ask Xia Ran anything, and Xia Ran didn't take the initiative to say anything. Although, the two of them should actually have something to say.
However, the two are just like passengers sitting next to each other on the tram, spending a blank time like this.
