The Fool of the Gods

Chapter 171

"There is a question I have never asked, but I am really curious.

Just before we step into the finish line, I would like to confirm with you.

What do the Whispering Petals you mentioned look like and what is their function?

Don't waste time when you get there because you don't recognize the things."

Cheng Shi pretends to be cool when he should be cool and is humble when he should be humble. He looks at Ji Yue and Fang Shiqing, waiting for an answer.

The torch did not speak, the flame jumped a few times and turned to the scarf.

The scarf shook for a moment and pondered:

"To be honest, I have not seen any description of Whispering Petals and Whispering Fruits in any official experimental records of the Tower of Principle.

You also know that in the current situation, no text can flow out of Gasmera.

History will not change because of our arrival. Conjugate Whispering will eventually be buried in a fire, and all records about it will be burned to ashes.

In the limited historical materials, I only found one record that fits it better.

That is an article from Chaos The memorial song of a tribe in the era describes the appearance of the Whispering petals and fruits.

The book reads:

The tree that blooms in the sky, blooms white flowers, reflects the reflection of the void, and bears black fruits.

But the flowers will still wither, and the fruits will eventually fall, just like the giant umbrella that blocks the glory, and the fire of destruction is also burning.

Although the statement is vague, members of the historical school generally believe that this is the clearest description of the conjugate Whispering petals and fruits.

Because this tribe, originally from Belongs to [Chaos].

They were born in the early Chaos Era, and the ancestors of the tribe were probably one of the group of knights who participated in the extinction of Gathmera.

Based on this idea, we conducted a detailed investigation of some tribal history in the early Chaos Era.

At that time, [Civilization] had just ended, and many [Civilization] habits were brought into [Chaos]. Therefore, in the early era, there were still some discontinuous and trivial "history".

The Historical School found two records of the use of Whispering Petals, but there was no record of the fruit.

Among these two uses, one of them is what I need...'Twin Potion'!

As for the other one, I think that we, not the historical school, but the fire bearers, may not need it.

That is, the 'Shadow Oath Potion'.

A swearing potion that can bind the shadow to the petals and swear to never betray. "

Speaking, Ji Yue looked at Cheng Shi with an expression full of expectation.

"With the mask as a guarantor, it would be a waste to use the only two petals to make a bottle of Shadow Oath Potion. It would be better to make two bottles of twin potions and split my soul again. In this way...

Our research progress on Fire Transmission will be greatly accelerated."

"......"

She even wanted to split herself again.

Cheng Shi was speechless for a while. He did not respond and could not respond. He just slightly adjusted his peripheral vision to look at Fang Shiqing in silence.

Although the fire-seeker of the Fire Transmission was very calm, the weakly jumping flame was clearly frozen for a moment when Ji Yue said the four words "Shadow Oath Potion".

So... the Fire Transmission was for this thing!

No wonder.

Because they did not have props like the Oath Mask, and the Oath Mask did not exist.

It was made up by Cheng Shishi with "sacrifice to nothingness", a false thing that could not last long in the world.

It is true that it is effective, but its effectiveness can only guarantee that the five people who swear at the moment will not betray the new "fire bearer".

But after this, it can no longer be the object of someone else's oath.

Because the sacrifices offered to nothingness cannot be preserved for a long time.

And in order to survive carefully in the feat of fighting against the [God], it is natural for the real fire bearers to want to add an extra layer of protection.

However, this also shows that the fire bearers may have encountered a crisis, no, or have encountered a crisis.

This made them worry about the single invitation mechanism for firewood seekers, and also questioned whether people who are kind and lawful will not betray.

Therefore, they set their sights on the whispering petals that are extremely difficult to obtain.

"Well, white flowers, black fruits.

Now that we know what this flower looks like, it's time to set off.

Scholar, are you willing to use the light of [truth] to open the way for us?"

The black scarf was dripping with blood.

"I couldn't ask for more!"

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yue stepped into the mirror with a heroic step and disappeared in front of everyone.

"......"

This sister......If I continue to study, I won't change my mind to "war", right?

Their personalities are starting to resemble each other...

Cheng Shi wanted to be the second one, but he didn't expect the prisoner to be the first one to step in before he could lift his foot.

This "newcomer to pass on the fire" who had been silent all this time expressed his determination to fight for the fire in this way.

The stone followed closely, the bird flew into the spider web first, and then stepped in fourth.

Torch...

The torch flickered several times, and thousands of words were reduced to two words:

"Thank you."

Cheng Shi whistled and said little:

"Remember to be practical."

After that, he finally got ahead of others and didn't become the last one.

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and then followed in with a smile.

...

The moment Cheng Shi stepped into the mirror, the breath of nothingness spread. Although his consciousness returned to darkness, the feeling this time was much better than the last time.

There was no pulling force, no desire to spit, and he landed slowly and steadily on the ground as if he had opened a parachute in the sky.

The moment he "fell on the ground", his vision lit up again.

Cheng Shi instinctively stepped back half a step, held the scalpel horizontally in front of him, squinted his eyes and carefully looked at his position.

To be honest, he was not sure where the benefactor had teleported him to in the experimental field.

But he could guess that he must be standing in the place with the most fun.

But the fun is big, which means the risk is big.

So Cheng Shi dared not be careless.

However, when he looked around, he didn't see any danger at all.

Not only that, he didn't even see his teammates.

The teammates who preceded him all disappeared.

In this spacious laboratory with glass curtain walls, there were dense branches and leaves of Conjugate Whisper everywhere, and in front of him, in addition to countless equipment and notes, there was only one...

A gray-haired scholar with glasses.

He turned back when he heard the noise, and there was no surprise in his eyes when he looked at Cheng Shi.

The relieved look was as if he had seen an old friend whom he had not seen for many years. In his bright eyes, there was expectation, sadness, and emotion, but there was no confusion.

This was very abnormal.

He knew he would come?

Why?

Who was he?

Cheng Shi's fingers quietly touched the [Death] Fun Ring, and he took another cautious step back.

And it was at this moment that the gray-haired old scholar spoke.

"You are here."

"Who are you?"

"Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself.

I am Kewei, a scholar of the Tower of Matter, a fool seeking the truth, and probably the last person in charge of this crumbling Void Matter-Energy Laboratory..."

Kewei! ?

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank suddenly.

He did not expect that the name he had just heard would appear in front of him a few minutes later.

This inescapable sense of fate...

Is it too strong?

"You... know me?"

"No, I don't know you, but I know you will come!"

"?"

Countless thoughts flashed through Cheng Shi's mind, and the speculation about [Fate] that he couldn't suppress in his heart blurted out:

"Did He tell you?"

Kwei nodded slightly, with a pious light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, it was He."
