Looking at [Roland] who has gone through all kinds of hardships to come to him.
Look at the other person's face full of suffering.
[Ma Teng] couldn't help laughing and exclaimed: "You are making rapid progress!
"
"[Gunner—Roland], you are making rapid progress!
"
It's as if you are praising the other person's achievements.
Twelve shots.
Without any hesitation.
[Roland] directly emptied the bullets loaded in two ancient revolvers, and completed the reloading in the blink of an eye.
However, faced with such a scene.
[Ma Teng] But he didn’t even try to hide.
He didn't even try to stop it.
He just showed a cheeky smile.
Let the opponent attack at will.
There is no other reason.
He knew that the other party did not dare to kill him.
The other party also needs to obtain information about the [Dark Tower] from themselves.
And the result is indeed the case.
The twelve bullets exploded on the rocks behind [Ma Teng].
With a deeper smile on his face, [Ma Teng] waved his hand and said with emotion:
"Okay, okay."
"If you kill me, you are killing yourself."
"Let's have a chat after so many years... is it some kind of reward for you and me to meet again?"
Say it.
With a smile on his face, [Ma Teng] slowly walked somewhere.
----------
More than ten minutes later.
Look at [Ma Teng] who is making a fire with dead wood.
[Roland] sat in front of the other party and said seriously:
"I will kill you."
[Ma Teng], who lowered his head to light the fire, acted as if he had heard a joke:
"No, you won't and can't, but you can pick up some wood to remember your Isaac."
This is a metaphor for the situation using content in the Bible.
Hear the words.
[Roland], who has never read the Bible, could not understand what the other party was saying.
But after a while of silence.
He also turned around and picked up some wood.
Like the guy who helps in the kitchen.
even.
He also helped the other party roast a rabbit.
Because he wants something from the other person now.
This feeling.
It made [Roland] extremely uncomfortable, causing him to recall the past, and also recalling [Jack] whom he had given up not long ago, making him feel as if he was being eaten by insects.
And when the other person starts eating.
He looked at the other person's still young face.
I couldn't help but sigh: "In my imagination, you are much older."
"Why?"
"I'm almost immortal."
"Just like you, [Roland]."
"It turns out that you have the same potential as me, the potential of immortality."
"But you didn't show your talent."
As the [bloodline] of [King Arthur].
[Roland] or [Roland]'s family is born with the potential to become immortals.
only.
They were not able to fully utilize it.
"Originally, I could see you with another face... But in the end, I decided to see you with the face you are most familiar with, the face I was born with."
"Now, let's talk about some of the things that concern you."
Under night.
After taking a few bites of roast rabbit [Ma Teng], he waved it casually.
A curtain of light appeared all around.
at this moment.
【Roland】First I saw the boundless darkness, the kind where I couldn’t see even my fingers.
"Now, let's bring some light."
This is [Ma Teng]’s voice.
Then, the starlight appeared, along with the stars.
Some stars that [Roland] has never seen before.
"land."
So the land appeared.
crimson.
A wild land with lava flowing on its surface.
Extremely barren, with no sign of life.
As far as the eye can see are erupting volcanoes.
Countless amounts of magma were flying all over the sky in billowing black smoke.
"This is just the beginning, then there will be flowers, plants, trees and animals..."
The earth and sky began to change.
Plants emerged from the cooling magma, giving life to the earth.
Huge reptiles roamed the earth without hindrance, roaring and devouring each other.
That was the overlord of the barbaric era - [Dinosaur].
"Now we are human..."
The situation evolved again.
The earth split, the environment changed drastically, and after the sun rose countless times, humans appeared.
This also made [Roland] understand.
All of this is the world or [planet] in the eyes of living things.
"Then there's light and the universe..."
A bright light appeared.
That is a huge star.
Stars that are far larger than the world in which all living things live.
But the next moment.
The huge star began to shrink, and countless stars and galaxies appeared next to it, covering it up.
Siluke
In that.
The world where all things live, the original planet, is as small as gravel...
-------------
After a long time.
The illusion disappears.
"What is that..."
This is [Roland]’s question after a long silence.
"【universe】."
"Although you have heard this term in the past, it is obvious that you lack understanding of the vastness of [the universe]."
"After all, a lot of knowledge has been lost to you."
Speaking of which.
[Ma Teng] asked:
"What did you see at the end?"
Roland thought for a while.
Some were not sure and answered:
"Light and...grass..."
"One leaf of purple grass fills everything."
"And I am extremely small and insignificant in it."
[Ma Teng] continued to preach:
"[The universe] is infinite and all-encompassing, and the mortal world or planet you know is only an insignificant part of it."
"After all, finite thinking cannot understand everything that is infinite."
"And in the long past, human civilization of a certain era once knocked off a part of that infinite knowledge to understand it."
"But even so, the beneficiaries are only a minority group, a very small number of developed countries or organizations called companies, such as: [North Central Electronics Co., Ltd.]..."
"Then, with the development of the times and the continuous absorption of more knowledge, our ancestors defeated various festering diseases, cancer, and AIDS... and achieved eternal youth, conquered the sea of stars, and achieved
Extremely powerful..."
Talking about this.
Maybe I think that thing is a bit far away.
[Ma Teng] changed his words again:
"Okay, the topic has gone a bit far, let's return to the topic of [the universe]..."
"[The universe] is infinite, but the biggest mystery in the [universe] has nothing to do with things like life, but the size."
"What's beyond the sky?"
"It's space."
"What's beyond space?"
"It's a galaxy."
"What's beyond the galaxy?"
"It's another galaxy."
"Beyond the countless galaxies, beyond the [universe] formed by the convergence of countless galaxies, what is it?"
"That's not easy to say."
"But it is an unchanging theorem that big things include small things..."
"For a fish living in a pond, the pond is the world it lives in."
"When it jumped out of the water, it felt like it was in a whole new world."
"Strange lights, strange things, creatures with two legs but no gills..."
"And for a planet, the galaxy is its world."
"For a galaxy, [the universe] is its world..."
"Constant inclusion."
"On the contrary, in this case, if you just peel off a little pencil tip from the pencil and enlarge your sight to a certain extent, you can easily see countless microscopic things, see that they are not solid structures, and see those
The included things, [atoms], [molecules]...and it
The gaps between them. [Magnetism], [Gravity]... are like invisible spider webs, connecting those microscopic things together. And the distance between them, converted into their distance unit, may be equivalent to our
Hundreds of kilometers away, tens of thousands of kilometers away...or even more distant."
"And that little pencil tip means to them what [Galaxy] and [Universe] mean to us... They are both some kind of higher-level things, things that are included in them. They belong to [Big] and [Small]
Among them, it can be classified as the [big] link."
