Chapter 12: Three circles left and three circles right
Howard Philip Lovecraft.
John Ronald Tolkien.
In this world, the names of these two people may not be known to the world.
But in the 21st century before Carl's time travel, as long as you had a little contact in this area, you would definitely not know what these two names represent.
As a famous writer of horror, science fiction and fantasy novels, Lovecraft’s influence on later generations of horror writers is almost immeasurable. The "Cthulhu Mythos" system he created has been used in countless literary works, games and even movies.
Used for reference in works.
And Tolkien is just as simple. To put it simply, this is the original author of "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit". He is also a poet, linguist and university professor.
Almost all works related to magic and fantasy in later generations are basically extended from this series. The well-known modern fantasy literary concepts such as elves, orcs, and wizards were also created by him.
One of them was born in 1980, and the other was born in 1892. Their ages also perfectly matched the "little boy" and "little girl" that I knew.
Unexpectedly, they were just ordinary people in the original world, but now in this world with extraordinary power, in this dream world, they have shown their potential early.
If I am not mistaken, Holly, who hired herself as a creator, may have a large number of other people besides those local creatures who are all outer gods or real evil gods such as the Old Ones, far away from Cyril.
This guy is much more energetic.
As for Tolkien on the other side, the world he wrote is not simple at all. Everything born in "The Silmarillion" is not just the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, or the "Hobbit" trilogy.
Can be summarized.
In fact, there is also a complete mythological system in his works, and the gods who created and maintained the world are all present in it. It is understandable that a force of this level can go head-to-head with the Luo gods.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, Karl was almost unable to think because of too many factors.
So what if I can regain my strength?
In front of a group of guys whose abilities are almost the same as that of a mouthful, even if he has an ability dozens of times stronger than when he defeated Morrigan, it will be of no avail. This is not a battle in the same dimension at all!
What Holly said was true. All he could do was help her complete the ancient legend of the dream world. However, based on the consideration of the relevant personnel, Karl was still doubtful as to whether this so-called legend could be effective.
manner.
After he had his thoughts clearer, Karl noticed a very important point: where was the invincible Azathoth?
As the origin of the universe, as long as this blind and foolish god is tortured by Holly, he will not be suppressed by Tolkien no matter what!
Thinking of this, Karl looked at Nyarlathotep in front of him and spoke directly:
"Little Naiya, do you know there is an Azathoth?"
After all, he had just signed a contract with Holly, so there would be no problem in asking about this kind of thing. Assuming that he was really in the world view of "The Mythology of Love", even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to ask Naiya
Latotip asked this question.
Sure enough, after Karl asked, the girl in front of him did not show any embarrassment or anything else. She just glanced at Karl curiously, and then said:
"Isn't this our lady's pen name? Did you just see it in her study?"
This guy didn't know the source of Karl's information at all, and even thought he saw the pen name Azathoth in the study just now, so he asked this question.
Of course, Karl would not explain this. He just nodded silently to Nyarlathotep's question and at the same time clarified his doubts.
As a creator, there seems to be nothing wrong with Lovecraft not being an investigator but being a creator god. And in this case, the situation is a bit good. At least there will not be a person named Yi Ruiru among the great gods Tolkien.
Vita guys come out.
After all, the creator here is the author himself, so there shouldn’t be too many deviations on the other side, right?
While Karl was thinking wildly, he had already entered the depths of the forest with Nyarlathotep. After reaching a place, the evil god wearing a girl's skin in front of her suddenly stopped her steps.
"Are we here yet?"
Karl, who was separated from his thoughts, looked around. It looked like an ordinary forest. There was no place that could help him repair his soul.
However, during this short trip to the dream world, Karl had clearly realized how magical this place was, so he did not directly make a negative judgment.
"You guessed it right!"
In response to Karl's conjecture, Nyarlathotep raised her hands in the air and jumped happily to express her happiness. Then she continued to point to a poplar tree with nine branches in front of her and said:
"Watch me perform a magic trick for you."
As he spoke, Nyarlathotep took Karl's hand, turned left three times and then right three times around the poplar tree, and then said: "Open the door! Open the door!"
Immediately, there was a soft sound here, and the poplar tree was no longer there, and it turned into a bright and uninhabited forest path.
"Let's go."
With that said, little Naiya continued to hold Karl's hand and led him into this place.
However, Karl was also full of a sense of déjà vu regarding this method of entering the hidden place, always feeling like he had seen it before somewhere.
The road was not too long. After walking for more than a minute, they came to a stone screen with several Chinese characters "Tsinghua Immortal Mansion" engraved on it.
Carl was confused again.
Why did it suddenly change from a Cthulhu fantasy style to an Oriental fairy tale?
This kind of stone screen, as well as the Chinese characters on it, are undoubtedly oriental things. Why do they appear in this place now!
"Hehehe." Just as Karl was looking at the stone screen and thinking, little Naiya next to him suddenly laughed twice, "Don't you know me?"
"This is a Chinese character for the East. The place we are going to next is full of exotic customs!"
I know him, and he's very familiar with her!
Karl complained silently in his heart. You must know that he was also a Chinese before traveling through time. No matter what, he would not forget the characteristics of his own culture.
But on the surface, he didn't intend to expose this, so he pretended to be surprised in a very grandiose manner, and then sighed:
"Is this the mysterious ancient Eastern country? I didn't expect that I could experience its culture here!"
"Yes, there are experts here who can repair souls!"
Chapter completed!
