One locks all sentient beings, and the other locks the sky.
These are the two seals formed by elves and dragons.
"Planet...an alien planet?"
He murmured softly.
Russell keenly captured this key word.
Because it wasn't until now that he really realized something... something that he had ignored for a long time.
It seems that in all the official documents, papers and books that Russell has seen so far, there is no knowledge about "planet".
Russell didn't realize there was any problem here before because he regarded this place as a "foreign world" as a matter of course.
——You see, the sky has been gray instead of blue since the beginning of time; the stars at night are also so sparse that they cannot form constellations; there are various "animal-eared ladies" with different spiritual relatives in this world
, there are also magical psychic powers, holy orders, spells... and even legendary elves, and the incredible floating island.
If you accept the existence of these settings, then it is very reasonable that there is no concept of planets in other worlds, right?
In this case, it makes sense why this world has not developed aerospace technology at all even though its technology is so advanced that it can build floating cities that can accommodate tens of millions of people - because this world does not exist on a planetary model.
What caused Russell's worldview to collapse was the sculpture he saw on Tongshen Island before.
"The Knotted Pistol".
Its existence proves that this world is still on the earth... and it is an era that is unknown how many years after the earth civilization that he is familiar with.
Having been on a floating island since his birth, Russell could not even touch the "shape of land"; the history, books and texts of the old era were all abandoned, obviously because he did not want today's humans to recall the past culture.
It is said that in the "land age", there were different kingdoms, nations and wars. There were also fights between various spiritual relatives, there was hunting, and there was hunting... The "killing intention" held by Alice is proof of this.
.
For example, when a fox jumps into the chicken pen or a wolf jumps into the sheepfold, it will not necessarily hunt the "one" that fully meets its needs for survival and keep the rest as reserve food. Instead, it will hunt all the "one" that fully meets its needs for survival.
Killing all the prey...Even if you are full or you cannot take it away at all, you will kill it meaninglessly and for no reason - this is the behavior of "killing".
Even in today's sky age, it is very difficult to treat the heart that has been killed. Let alone the land age where technology is even more backward...
Because this characteristic only appears in carnivorous spirit relatives, there will definitely be a war between carnivorous spirit relatives and vegetarian spirit relatives.
This is especially true for aquatic soul relatives - whether they are killer whales, great white sharks, or sperm whales, they all belong to the phylum Chordata, and their soul relatives will still be born. And the living environment they need is completely different from that of terrestrial soul relatives...
This will give birth to wars with different stances. Today's sky age is more of a compromise than peace... The religious war is the last war, but it is by no means the only war.
As for the named elves like the Deer Head, they even have knowledge of "planets" and had the concept of "enemies from alien planets" from the beginning - because she just specifically stated that these bans do not come from aliens. It can be theorized.
On the subject, Russell had no knowledge of "planets" at all, and there was no need to talk about "alien" at all.
This means that this planet may have arrived, or at least been exposed to the technology of the "interstellar" era.
Those "ancient technologies" that seem so magical today are the knowledge from that era!
That is ancient times for modern people, and the future for Russell. The concept of "spiritual relatives" should have been born at that time.
That is to say...
After the earth's civilization has developed to the interstellar age, it was pushed back to the feudal era for some reason. Although various technologies existed, the system was directly cleared and restarted. To this day, the world is still banning all spaceflight.
In terms of aviation technology, the dragon no longer even allows humans to touch the sky. Therefore, this world has long been able to manufacture aircraft, but it can only use airships... and they are not high-altitude airships.
This is extremely crucial information. If the deer-headed statue had not told him, Russell would not be able to deduce it anyway. It is also like an extremely critical key. It opens the door to cognition that has been delayed for a long time.
Many thoughts, speculations, and thoughts gathered in Russell's mind quickly, like invisible threads, weaving together unbelievable truths.
But at this moment, an extremely strong question suddenly appeared in Russell's mind, like strong wine.
"...You mean, the ban on 'alien planets'?"
Russell raised his head and stared at the deer head statue: "Why do you have to explain this specially?
"Or, when have I ever said or heard the word 'planet'?"
"'You did hear that.'"
The deer-headed statue replied calmly.
"when?"
Russell asked rhetorically.
The answer given by the deer head statue made Russell feel cold: "'When you first met Tovatus, he once said this word in front of you. But you were not surprised by it.
and doubts. From that moment on, I knew that the concept of 'star' existed in your memory.'"
...It seems that this is indeed the case.
Russell recalled the incident.
That's what Tovatus said when he recruited Russell.
"...The key you promised to the caged bird is another cage? Do you treat me as a pet?"
Russell asked at the time.
But Tovatus' casual answer contains the biggest secret in the world: "What you said is a joke. What is the difference between this floating island, or even this planet, and a huge birdcage? If not
Due to work requirements, I'm afraid you will never leave your hometown very far in your life. What does the size of this world have to do with you? Places you can never reach are just scenery textures in the game."

——Even this planet.
He said it clearly.
This planet is the "Birdcage", no different from the floating island.
As a rebellious member of the Elf board of directors, Tovatus doesn't care about those rules and traditions. He even wants to tear them all to pieces.
The secret that others regarded as a treasure, he casually told in public to the people he met for the first time.
It's just that at that time, all Russell's attention was focused on the sentence "Eternal Life Like a Dragon". He didn't pay any attention to the weirdest word "planet".
"So that was his test of me..."
"'It's a temptation, but also a test. Testing your value and potential. Because he wants to know that when he deliberately reveals some flaws... can you grasp the most unreasonable details in the first time.'"
The synthesized voice of the deer-headed statue sounded calmly: "'It's a blessing that you didn't pass his test. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now... you would be kidnapped directly by him.
