According to the situation of Ash and Sonia, asking for the golden fish is undoubtedly the most cost-effective option.
Although they are short of magical spirits, Destiny Answer cannot just throw out magical spirits. This is a question and answer machine, not a wish machine.
Miracles, they are not in short supply, and based on the number of their answers, Xujing will probably not be able to answer a detailed miracle formula. At most, it will point them to a specific direction of miracle research.
As for how to quickly improve the level of the magic faction, the fastest way must be to consume experience orbs, and the source of experience orbs is knowledge creatures. The virtual world can at most point them to where there are suitable knowledge creatures. It is impossible to directly obtain them from knowledge creatures.
Take out a bead and give it to them.
After thinking about it, the three factors of magic spirit, miracle, and faction level are just the icing on the cake. What really determines the combat power of a magician must be the number of virtual wings and the level of magic power!
As long as you advance to the Second Wing, you can adventure in the Time Continent and obtain the Second Wing magic spirit!
As long as you advance to the second wing, your magic power will continue to grow!
As long as he is promoted to the second wing, Ash can use his golden magic power to 100% activate the second-wing magic spirit "Earth Sword", greatly improving the defense power of this miracle "sword barrier", and his escape from prison will be more secure when the time comes!
Ash is so eager to raise Sword Girl's swordsmanship faction to the gold level. Doesn't he want her to sneak into the Time Continent with him after she is promoted to the second wing? Now there is a better opportunity to sneak away!
However, if you directly ask about the situation of the golden fish, Xujing will definitely not give a detailed answer.
However, there is an obvious loophole in the fate question and answer: no matter how many correct answers the magician has, if the question raised by the magician is a judgment of right and wrong, then the virtual world will definitely give the correct answer!
For example, if a magician encounters a bottleneck in researching a certain miracle magician, and after testing all possibilities, there are only two AB research directions left. Then he asks the virtual realm whether the direction A is correct, and the virtual realm can only answer 'yes' or 'no'.
, then we will naturally know whether direction B is correct or not.
If you are a master of logic, you can even construct a complex right or wrong question to let Xujing eliminate multiple doubts for you.
For example, Ash wants to be stupid and asks, "Will I wake up one day in ten years and see Sword Princess sleeping next to me?" The key element is "One day in ten years," "Get up," and "Sword Princess sleep next to me."
'Getting up' is an inevitable element. Ash can't stay in the virtual world every night. Sleeping in is a luxurious and wonderful enjoyment. Ash must experience it occasionally.
And 'Sword Princess sleeping next to her' is a controllable factor. Ash can definitely remember this and ask her to act out and sleep next to him in the future.
The only thing that is uncontrollable is the matter of 'one day ten years from now'.
If Xujing answers 'yes', then there is nothing to say, and Ash can directly call Sword Princess Wife with confidence.
If it's 'no', then there are two possibilities, either Ash had already broken up with Sword Princess at that time, so Sword Princess didn't even want to act; or Xu Jing believed that Ash would not survive ten years.
Therefore, when Xu Jing is stingy about the quality of answers, asking true or false questions is the most cost-effective option, at least you will not get invalid information.
After a short discussion, the two of them decided to ask different questions to Xujing:
"Does the golden fish need to go through a specific ritual before it can be seen?"
Questions like 'Where is the golden fish?' 'How can I find the golden fish?' are absolutely impossible to get detailed answers to. The virtual world will probably answer correct nonsense like 'in the sea of knowledge' and 'find it with your eyes'.
These two questions actually stem from the conjectures of Ash and Sonia. Sonia asked from Professor Trozan that the Time Continent is also a very vast place, not much smaller than the Sea of Knowledge. Logically speaking, the Time Continent is so
If it is big, then the golden fish must also be very huge, but why can’t magicians see the golden fish in the sea of knowledge?
With the "Vortex Secret Poison" and the "Expelling Secret Poison" as warnings, they would naturally think that the golden fish probably 'does not exist' in the sea of knowledge. As long as the magician activates the virtual realm mechanism through a specific ritual, the gold
Only then will the fish appear in front of the magician.
But the answer surprised them: "No."
The golden fish can be seen without a specific ritual? Does this mean that the golden fish also exists in the sea of knowledge at this moment?
After a brief discussion, they asked the second question:
"When will the golden fish rise from the bottom of the sea?"
In any case, both Ash and Sonia were sure that it was impossible to encounter the golden fish during normal navigation. After all, even Ash, who was holding the "Map of the Void Realm", had never seen a trace of the golden fish, and it was even less likely for other magicians.
found it.
Since it is not at sea, it naturally sank under the sea. In addition, the golden fish does not require a specific ritual to be seen. They guessed that the golden fish may float from the deep sea to the surface periodically, so they directly asked when the golden fish would float up.
, I’ll try my luck and find out when the time comes.
Because it was not a true or false question, they were very nervous whether Xu Jing would answer blindly.
The result still surprised them: "The golden fish has been floating on the sea."
Golden fish always float on the sea surface and can be seen without special rituals?
Although this conclusion is completely contrary to Ash and Sonia's experience in exploring the virtual realm, they have to believe it. If the 'future' mentioned in Destiny's answer may not happen, the golden fish they asked about is definitely in the virtual realm.
Information, Xujing is the authority in this regard!
"Is it really because we are unlucky that we can't find any golden fish?"
Although it was unbelievable, Ash could only accept this conclusion. At this time, the paper turned into light smoke and disappeared, and their chairs suddenly disappeared, causing them to almost sit down on the ground.
Returning to the boat and watching the fate-questioning island sink, Sonia said quietly: "I feel so bad. I didn't get any effective information at all."
"At least I know that I can escape from the Blood Moon Kingdom alive." Ya Xiu looked relaxed. In his opinion, Questions and Answers of Destiny is a free opportunity. If you get something, it's good. If you don't, it's an eye-opener. "And there will be more in the future.
I broke up with you for various reasons, and then got back together with you for some reasons.”
"When we go through the Question of Destiny, the future may not necessarily happen!" Sonia glared at him: "And there has always been a saying that many of the predictions in the Question of Destiny have not come true, but those who know the truth will know before the predictions come true.
He died, so no one knew about these failed prophecies, and naturally there were no records."
"If you die, then I will report this precious case about fate to the school, and maybe I can earn some credits..."
The survivor theory is not bad... Ash spread his hands: "So do you hope that the prophecy will come true, or do you hope that the prophecy will not come true?"
Sonia snorted softly: "I only believe the prophecies that are good for me, and those that are not good for me are all lies."
"As expected of you."
"how about you?"
"I, how should I put it...I don't care about the prophecy itself, but I am looking forward to the showdown between the prophecy and me."
"Duel? What do you mean?"
"Well, let me think about how to make a good deal with you... Sword Girl, do you think you will be the same now as you will be thirty years from now in terms of personality, outlook on life, ideals, habits, etc.?"
Sonia thought for a while and shook her head: "Should it be different? I am not even twenty years old now. Thirty years is longer than the time since I was born. Many changes will definitely occur."
Ash nodded: "Then if your soul thirty years from now suddenly takes over your current body, can it be considered that you from thirty years later have killed the current you?"
Sonia frowned slightly, looking slightly uneasy: "Is that okay?"
"Extending the 'occupation process' to thirty years, after you know through prophecy that there will be a swordswoman who is completely different from you in all aspects thirty years later, and you still inevitably become the swordswoman in the prophecy, can that be considered
The prophesied swordswoman will slowly kill you over thirty years?"
"...Generally speaking, no one would think that way."
"But don't you think it's interesting?" Ash spread his hands: "It's fine if you don't know the prophecy, but if you know the prophecy, it's equivalent to a 'future you' appearing. Only one of you can survive.
, either he killed you, or you killed him, there is no second possibility."
"The only difference between 'prophecy' and 'occupation' is the length of time. 'Occupy' is a moment, so you think it is the "future swordswoman" who killed the "present self", but 'prophecy' is a long day.
Day and night, the "future you" uses time to carve the "present you" into its own image."
Sonia's lips moved slightly, wanting to say something but not saying it, as if she was thinking about how to refute. Ash then asked:
"Have you ever heard of a game where children write a letter to their grown-up selves when they were little?"
"I've heard of it, and I've written about it too."
"Do you think, when adults see that letter when they grow up, will they think it is a last word?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Because they are completely different people, with completely different thoughts, habits, views, and ideals, but they once lived in the same body. Couldn't it be that the latter killed the former?"
Sonia shook her head repeatedly: "But they are the same person continuously. This kind of change is called growth, not occupation!"
Ash smiled and said: "When a child writes a letter, it is equivalent to solidifying him at this moment in the letter. The soul in the letter is separated from continuous time and becomes an independent and unchanging individual."
"Isn't this very similar to a prophecy? A prophecy takes your future self out of a certain point in time and shows it to you. Isn't that the future you writing a letter to the present you?"
"My self at different times is not myself."
"So I don't care about the prophecy, but I'm looking forward to the showdown with the prophecy. Of course, something that is obviously going to happen like I will find trouble with Xilin after I escape from prison is not a prophecy. But if in the future we really do it for those inexplicable reasons
If we break up, it means that the spectator in the prophecy will kill me, and the sword lady in the prophecy will kill you."
Ash suddenly pondered: "It's strange, why is love among the reasons for reconciliation, but there is no emotional breakdown among the reasons for breakup? Could it be that love only emerges after breakup, when both parties realize that the other is indispensable?"
Sonia came back to her senses, blushed and gritted her teeth and said: "That means it's not love at all, but getting back together to resist a common crisis!"
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
"I'm not in a hurry!"
"Yeah, yeah, you're right, it's time to kill fish and dragons to liven up the atmosphere."
After hunting two more knowledge creatures, not only did no experience orbs come out, Sonia was distracted and failed to intercept the escaping knowledge creatures. However, this kind of mistake was normal, and Ash didn't care. After saying goodbye, the two of them exited the virtual world at the same time.
When her consciousness returned to her body in the meditation room, Sonia still didn't recover for a long time, and the words of the viewer kept echoing in her mind.
In fact, after getting closer, Sonia couldn't help but wonder whether the viewer was the resurrected strong man she imagined?
The main reason is that the viewer does not look like a legend in every aspect, does not pursue power, does not like learning, and does not even have deep desires. If placed in Jianhua University, this kind of gray and inferior passerby with no potential would not be seen by Sonia.
Without taking a glance.
But the words of the viewer just now made Sonia realize that he could never be an ordinary person. Even if he was now, he would never be an ordinary person in the future.
Sonia has seen the madness wrapped in logic and the evil nature that is completely different from common sense many times in "Psychological Analysis of Criminal Magicians". Not all criminal magicians are evil people, and many of them are even people who are willing to be ordinary and have families.
, but once their lives are unexpectedly broken, they will shed their 'old self' like a chrysalis turning into a butterfly, dare to trample on all laws in the world, and chase the light in their hearts like moths to a flame.
