"It's probably the owner of this manor who accidentally got a true magic book. They circulated it to each other without knowing the situation at all, causing the number of [Seeds] to reach the threshold."
"You have seen the final result."
"As time goes by, the alienation process of the world accelerates dramatically."
"And we bumped into each other at the most unlucky time, without knowing anything."
"..."
To be honest, Ronald was confused.
While approaching the villa under the cover of darkness, Nessos was indeed telling him the relevant details.
But this kind of introduction based on the premise that "both parties know some basic knowledge" is still a bit elusive to him. This does not mean that the meaning of the words cannot be understood, but that the true meaning of some specific terms cannot be guessed.
It’s like the so-called ‘seed’ and ‘alienation of the world’.
I can understand some things based on the content in the words, but I can't understand the more detailed details at all.
——People who have circulated the [Magic Book] will become [Seeds].
So what kind of characteristics will a person who becomes a [seed] carry, and what level of things can he accomplish?
——The number of [Seeds] reaches the threshold, and the world will begin to alienate after a certain period of time.
So what is this quantity? What is the time?
What does the alienation of the world itself mean? Is it simply represented by black mist like Black Mountain?
This explanation raises too many questions.
No matter how smart Ronald is, he can't deduce what he needs from it.
"..."
Then, Nessus noticed it.
Ronald next to him didn't ask any further questions after hearing what he said.
With his quick mind, he understood everything immediately.
Immediately, this mysterious ‘traveling merchant’ continued to speak:
"The key to becoming a [Seed] is to understand the knowledge related to the mysterious side. People like you and me who are in the 'industry' are natural [Seeds]; those who knew nothing at first, and then accidentally read the real magic guide
People who read books can also be [seeds].”
"[Seeds] themselves do not bring any special abilities. The key lies in their quantity."
After saying this, Ronald understood.
The so-called seeds are simply people who know the knowledge related to occultism, and it does not mean they will have any superpowers.
After lowering his head and pretending to think for a while, Ronald continued to ask:
"Then what is the key to the number of [seeds], and what is the specific manifestation of alienation in the world?"
"..."
"well--"
Sighing with an expression of "Sure enough," Nassos didn't say much and simply continued to explain:
"The number of [seeds]...more accurately, is the proportion of [seeds] in the population."
"There is no problem if there are three or five [[Biquge www.sbiquge.me] seeds] in a small town; for example, Springs, the capital of Grid, is a super city with more than hundreds of thousands of residents.
, the number of [seeds] that can be accommodated is thousands."
"But once this number reaches a certain level, for example, the number of [seeds] in a town of a hundred people exceeds double digits, the alienation of the world will begin."
"From slow to fast, after about two weeks, this land will completely become a [demon realm], and there will be no chance of saving it."
Ronald immediately noticed a new vocabulary word.
"[Demon Realm]..."
However, before he could fully express his doubts, Nessos spoke:
"Okay, let me explain it to you clearly."
"In the process of alienation, people who are already in it cannot detect this process. Maybe fish are flying in the sky, or the table at home will move on its own, or strange monsters appear inexplicably. Today's dinner is yours.
Internal organs..."
"Various phenomena that far exceed reality will become 'common sense' in alienated areas, and the residents themselves will also become 'common sense' and accept it as if it is a matter of course."
"And being completely reduced to a [demon realm] means that this area has fundamentally completed this alienation process."
"..."
After listening to Nessos' story, Ronald looked thoughtfully at the black mist around him.
"So, it will be less than an hour before this Black Mountain completely turns into a [demon realm]?"
Spreading his hands, Nessus' expression fell and he cursed angrily:
"So how do you say we came at the right time?"
"One day earlier, if there was no black fog, we would just pass through the town as usual. After all, the degree of alienation had not reached the final stage at that time, so I would definitely be able to detect it in advance."
"One day later, I won't be able to bring you in even if you look at this damn place!"
It all makes sense -
The more people who know the mysterious side of knowledge, the more dangerous the world itself will become.
What's even more terrible is that the people inside are unable to detect it, but default to it as 'common sense', with almost no ability to resist.
In such a world background, people on the mystical side will inevitably guard against the spread of knowledge.
Not only for others, but also to save your own life with extreme caution.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment. Seeing Nessus showing such an expression for the first time, Ronald waited for a while before continuing:
"Then according to this statement, what should [seeds] like us do if we go alone? This is a 100% ratio."
"You can rest assured about this." Regarding Ronald's question, Nessos was not as nervous as before this time, "There is also a limit to the total number of people. As long as it is not a team of hundreds of people, even if they are all [seeds]
Causing alienation.”
"..."
Ronald's expression was a little speechless.
"So in a town of 100 people, if there are more than 10 seeds, they will start to alienate; but if there are less than 100 people, it doesn't matter if everyone is a seed?"
"That's right!"
Nessos nodded confidently, and then patted Ronald's shoulder with an expression like "You have the same expression as when I first learned about this."
"The world itself is so unreasonable and illogical."
"Fine......"
Just like people cannot control the laws of physics, Ronald can only accept such outrageous settings silently.
"Let's get back to the point."
"In this situation, how should we save ourselves?"
"It's very simple." After hearing Ronald's question, Nessos' expression became serious again, "There are two ways to deal with it now."
"One, the two of us go straight in."
"As long as those [seeds] that support this alienation are killed one by one, the rootless alienation process will naturally stop."
Killed one by one...
After thinking about the terrifying power of the 'woman' before and her unflinching attitude after being shot three times in the face, Ronald simply shook his head.
"You'd better tell me."
Nessos continued:
"Find the grimoire that gave them knowledge."
"According to that man, as long as we control or destroy the original level magic book, we can at least escape from here."
