The ancient parchment has changed its color. Although it has magical protection from decay, the eight centuries of time (Earth Time) still leave mottled marks on it. As the Hao Ren thought, the witch trapped here wrote down all of his own things after discovering that there was no hope of returning home. Now these blackened papers quietly tell about an ordinary, wandering female magician in A short life in this strange space ——
"Anyone who can read these letters, if you can recognize the text above, I express to you the most sincere goodwill and blessings, and may the brilliance of knowledge and mystery bless you not living here like me. 'S name is Beatrix, from another world, and I believe you are the same.
“I came to this place in order to explore knowledge and mysteries, and fell into the abyss after experiencing an expedition like hell, and finally got stuck here. In a sense, I got what I wanted, what I learned, The things I have come into contact with are miracles that I have never imagined in the past thousands of years, and I believe that even the gods of the ancient times would not know the deep mysteries of this world. Almost all my ideas and knowledge systems are here Total subversion, no matter how much space I use to describe the surprise I saw when I saw this underground world, I hope to share the joy of this discovery with people, but unfortunately, I ca n’t go back, so I can only put These records are on parchment ...
Hao Ren quickly ignored those less important passages, and just glanced at Beatrix ’s early records in this world. He found that the witch had received a lot of help from the locals after the exile. The tribe of fire is a hospitable tribe, they did not show much hostility to the strangers of unknown origin. In fact, because Beatrix is just good at some magic in flames, her skills are regarded by the people in the tribe as evidence of closeness to natural elements, and in this world, coordination with natural elements is itself a proof of "good quality". , So Beatrix easily reached a friendly relationship with the locals.
She became friends with the "Witch Witch of Fire" at that time, the Holy Virgin. The friendship between the two is wonderful: in this world, superficial elemental magic is widely known, but the more advanced knowledge of magic has been lost. Only Saints and tribal warriors can rely on blood or artifacts to access advanced magic, and the warriors It's just that these forces are used to fight, and the only thing really immersed in the study of magical skills is the saint and her apprentice. The arrival of Beatrix brought new vitality to this knowledge-depleted world. The saint of the Fire Tribe found a partner who could study ancient knowledge with herself.
They studied the lost ancient symbols together and the ancient memories engraved in the instincts of the bloodline. In just a few years, the two became best friends. They even restored a lot of ancient magical creations-the kind of "burning lamp" seen in the wind tribe was from the hands of Beatrix, and she cracked the manufacturing method of this ancient artifact from the totem of the fire tribe. .
Another deed is the cure of the black spot plague, which has laid the reputation of Beatrix in the hearts of the locals. Later, she was no longer even regarded as a foreigner, and the people in the tribe regarded it as She regarded her as a "goddess of the goddess", except that the people just fell from the pillar of eternity.
"... I have spent many years here. At the beginning, life was a bit difficult. I have to learn new characters, languages, customs, and even eating habits from scratch. I also remember that a plant here is almost at the beginning. It ’s my life, but it ’s the most commonly eaten by locals. That ’s the first time I intuitively felt the concept of a “different world.” But in any case, the situation has gradually improved, and here is a stable life I even like it a little bit. In my hometown, people like me are taboo-because of the changing times, the users of magic are declining, and a war between races is coming to an end. And a "witch" or "witch" like me is the losing side. I don't have much to cherish in my hometown, and the days of hiding in Tibet and the fear of fear are not worth remembering. It may be good to live here- At least for a certain period of time, I think so.
"... In my spare time, I am also observing the lives of local people. I am very interested in their religion and life status, and more importantly, I am interested in the state of the world. What kind of power can be Create another layer of earth above the earth? This is a near fantasy concept, but it actually happened in this world. According to local legends, I believe that this world was never like this at first, some kind of beyond The power of imagination has changed here ...
"... The locals believe that the pillars that support the heavens and the earth are the arms of giants, and in their religious beliefs, the shadows of" giant creatures "can be seen everywhere except the" goddess. "The giants support the sky and the clouds It was the smoke from a giant monster breathing. They believed that the wind on the grassland was a giant monster named 'Haku' yawning, and the whole world was even built on a name called 'Toka' 'The old humpbacked man, this old humpbacked man was the gardener of the goddess, and the goddess completed the work of the genesis on this gardener's back. There are many legends like this, full of grotesque colors, which reminds me of my hometown Weird 'gods'. But these legends don't seem to be laughed at, they are grotesque but they have clear and rigorous logic, and they seem to have happened, but they have been distorted by history.
"Yes, historical heritage, the historical heritage of local people is a more interesting topic. I found that these people once had extremely brilliant civilizations, and their height may be worse than my hometown. This civilization is out of date, nothing The doubt is caused by the event that caused the sky to close in the ancient times. In some ancient murals and slate books, I can see what the ancient civilization has created: autonomous vehicles, popular aircraft, magic-driven rocks The guards and the iron giants, and even the magical city called 'Morrow Thosh' floating in mid-air. But these things have disappeared and are buried deep in the earth's fissures ...
"... There is an interesting phenomenon. According to my research, the sky-closing event caused the world to lose more than half of its population, and the rest of the population gradually faded in the years to come. Not completely caused by disaster, but more like the conscious control of survivors. I have found many ancient slate books that plan to reduce the population, and found that the tribes distributed around the world are following a strict even during the period of contact severance. Has reduced its number of people, and about 3,000 years ago-I mean, according to the concept of time in this world-they controlled the population to the current scale, and this number has not changed since then.
"... The birth of a newborn is strictly controlled. They use ancient drugs to control when new offspring can be produced. The growth of the newborn also undergoes a ritual-like training process to ensure that the new born child Can fully assume their work in the tribe and not so easy to die. There are signs that although these indigenous people do not know what it means to live in an underground world, they are well aware of the fragility and barrenness of this world, perhaps The control of population and civilization is to reduce consumption-this concept has been handed down from the ancient times. Although no one knows the meaning behind this, they still strictly follow the ancestral motto. So who educated them to control this way? What is consumed? Maybe only the goddess.
“I even suspect that they have a way to control the intelligence level and the way of thinking of newborns – I have found ingredients that affect the brain in the spices they use daily. These spices only slightly inhibit brain activity, not very much It ’s harmful, but I think it ’s just the right kind of restraint that has stalled their civilization. The 'Sky Dome' has been thousands of years ago, and this time is enough for them to rebuild the ancient kingdom, but they are still living near-primitive. Life, this should be the result of intentional or unintentional control ... Unfortunately, I have little time, and there is no way to verify these conjectures. And what if it is verified? I ca n’t reverse their religious tradition, they think of religion It is extremely important. After thousands of years of drug infestation and traditional education, many ancient teachings have become things flowing in their blood. As an outsider, I still do n’t want to intervene ... "
Hao Ren suddenly looked up from the pile of old paper and looked at Bernia, who was standing in a daze. "Let me see the spices you usually use for baptism of newborns." (To be continued.)
