Chapter 57 Is the truth always absurd?

 The deadwood demons who mistakenly entered the empty island and found that there were people living here were panicked at first. Although they looked scary, they were actually a group of pacifists with a gentle temperament and did not like fighting. Otherwise, the farmers who met them in the mountains and forests would

There will be no chance for the legend of the "evil tree spirit" to spread with hunters.

At this time, the proprietress appeared in time and chatted with the eldest and wisest among these rotten wood demons for a while, and quickly calmed their emotions. After all, the traveler demons are a naturally kind race, which has never been heard of in history.

Stories about the "evil goblin".

During the conversation, the proprietress learned that they had migrated from the Xugen Swamp and were planning to find a new habitat. She immediately realized that this was the clue that everyone had been searching for in recent days, so she asked the Deadwood Demon

The elder asked about the situation inside the swamp, but got an unexpected answer.

Ten minutes later, she returned to the hotel and brought back key information for Lin Ge and others who were ready to set off.

"Since the day when the Silver Moon raided the Temple of Sin, a legend about the 'Eternal Fang' suddenly began to spread in the Xugen Swamp."

"The Fang of Eternal Life?" Alice asked curiously: "What is that? A holy relic?"

"It's impossible to be sure." The landlady shook her head: "Some people think it is a holy relic, others think it is a gift from the gods, and some even think it is a curse... But no matter what the nature of the 'Tooth of Eternal Life' is, there is only one thing

What is certain is that it can give any life the power of eternal life."

After the words fell, the hall became quiet for a moment, and the sound of breathing could be heard like a needle dropping.

After a long while, Alice said hesitantly: "Well, I would like to ask, is the eternal life you are talking about the same concept as the eternal life I understand?"

Siesta glanced at her with a half-smile: "I think so."

"You might as well speak more clearly." Alice was not good at being a Riddler, so she scratched the back of her head: "There are many types of immortality, right? Eternal life? Eternal youth? Eternal immortality? The difference is quite big.

So which one are you talking about?"

"All."

"Ah?"

"That's all." Shesta said with a smile: "According to legend, the Fang of Eternal Life is a treasure that can help the holder understand the mysteries of life and gain eternal power. The so-called eternity means that it will not age or decay.

, will not die, or even be forgotten. What it was like in the past will still be the same a thousand years from now, or even ten thousand years from now. It can allow the smallest mole cricket to live longer than a giant dragon, and it can also make the smallest cricket live longer than a giant dragon.

An old human being regains the appearance of youth; in front of it, there is no longer a distinction between short-lived species and immortal species. In this world, there is only a distinction between life destined to die and eternal life. Perhaps the latter can be distinguished

Called: The Eternal One."

"The Immortal..." Oveira murmured, not knowing what she was thinking of. The white-gold star clusters in her eyes dispersed, as hazy and dazzling as the morning mist.

Not only her, but everyone present was more or less shocked by this term. It was hard to imagine and even harder to believe that there was eternal life in the world. After all, in this era where even true gods can perish like dust, who can

Do you dare to say that you are eternal?

Ringer was the one who least believed it and was the first to regain his composure. He asked bluntly: "What does this have to do with the situation in the swamp?"

"Of course it has something to do with it," said the landlady: "Because this legend was first spread by members of the Silver Moon. Not only that, one of the leaders of the Silver Moon, 'The Biting Moon' Gundaruff also made it public

Claiming that he has mastered the clues and whereabouts of the 'Tooth of Eternal Life' and is willing to share it. Any alien who wants to obtain eternal life can go to the Foroze Castle located within the Kuya Arc.

There he will personally demonstrate the power of eternal life."

When Ringer heard this, he frowned: "Could it be said that the reason why we couldn't find any traces of aliens outside the swamp is because they listened to Gundaruf's words and responded to his call?"
p>

"Not all." The proprietress said lightly: "Like those rotten wood demons, because they didn't believe Gundaruf's words and sensed the approaching danger, they hurriedly fled the swamp and planned to move to other places to live."<

/p>

And he also brought them such valuable information.

Ringer's brows did not relax: "But it's just them."

Except for this group of rotten wood demons, they found no trace of other aliens. This shows that at least the vast majority of aliens have listened to Gundaruf's words and coveted the magical power of the Eternal Fang. Reasonable and calm creatures like the rotten wood demons

The group has become a minority.

In fact, we can't blame them. After all, "eternal life" is indeed a very tempting thing. Why do the aliens linger in the virtual root swamp? Isn't it because they are afraid of the pursuit of the United Order? Why are they afraid of the pursuit of the United Order?

Kill? It’s very simple, because you will die.

And now, an opportunity for immortality lies before them.

People who can resist this temptation are either extremely rational, like Ringer, or extremely weak, like the rotten wood demons. Unfortunately, most people in this world are mediocre, and they happen to be caught in the middle of the two extremes.

, neither able to rationally resist its power, nor weak enough to fear the disaster it will bring.

The only problem is——

"The question is," Alice asked in confusion, "how do they know that what Gundaluff said is true? Aren't they afraid of being deceived?"

Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that this is just a lie concocted by Gundaruff in order to unify the heterogeneous groups in the swamp and form an alliance to fight against the United Order. If there really are such magical treasures in the world, why did Gundaruff

Instead of keeping it for your own use, why not share it generously with others? Could it be that this "eternal tooth" is actually solar-charged and can be recycled, making it very environmentally friendly?

Even Alice knows there is no free lunch in the world!

Shesta smiled: "Of course there are doubters, and there are many of them, but Gundaruff has produced evidence to prove that he is not just talking nonsense."

"Evidence?" Alice was full of doubt: "What evidence?"

"One piece of evidence is that he has a file about the 'Tooth of Eternal Life' in his hand, which contains detailed information about this treasure, including the time, place, and earliest holder of its initial appearance. Since he wrote

The person behind the file has a special status, so his credibility is very high."

"Special, how special?"

"Fei'er." A name came out softly from the mouth of the landlady. These two short words seemed to have some special power, causing the hotel hall to fall into a strange dead silence again. Only her voice could be heard still echoing.

, after hitting the wooden wall and ceiling, spread in a further direction: "She is the saint who judges the Holy See, the de facto supreme leader, and at the same time, she is also the grand judge of the balance of order, the one who makes the aliens fearful——

Silver Death."

The Arbitrators and Judges of the Scales of Order were fearfully called the Silver Dogs by the aliens because they wore silver-white uniforms. The leader of the Silver Dogs, the notorious Grand Inquisitor, received the name of the Silver God of Death.

Nickname. The similarity between the two titles seems to reflect some kind of bloody and cruel fact.

Grand Judge Fei'er... Linge felt that this was the first time he heard this name, but for some reason it felt familiar. The memory of that day in the Salia Fields, where the judgment cannon was like an arbitration cannon, suddenly appeared in his mind.

At the scene of the roaring and launching of God's thunder, I suddenly realized that I may have never met the Grand Inquisitor, and I have never heard of her name, but this was not the first time the two parties had come into contact.

At that time, she was on the Crimson Night Gate, commanding the most magnificent, shocking and unparalleled war machine in human history. She smashed the kingdom of false gods and saved an entire city.

residents.

He finally understood why the werewolves of Silver Moon wanted to attack the Temple of Sin.

It is not for demonstration, not for revenge, nor to vent their anger or show their strength. From beginning to end, their purpose is very clear, that is, to seize this "Eternal Fang" from the archives of the Church of Sin.

"The file. Only in this way can the alien alliance in the virtual root swamp be established.

"Not only that," Shesta said softly: "Gundaluf not only produced the documents written by the Grand Judge Fei'er as proof, but also used his own personal experience as supporting evidence to make the 'Eternal Fang'

'The authenticity has been more accurately guaranteed."

"Personal experience?" Lin Ge thought slightly, and soon understood what the boss lady was referring to.

That was the hatred and war between the Neoesu family and the Valenhild family that lasted for thousands of years and refused to compromise with each other even during the Dark Purge.

In the past, some demon spirits on the peninsula claimed that the two sides were competing for a magical treasure, but no one believed it because it was too ridiculous.

Looking back now, we can understand a truth more deeply: lies are always true, but the truth is actually absurd and bizarre.
