Now that the Twilight Court is reborn, the Supreme Fairies can also leave this plane. The objects and phenomena created by them are attached to the entire Twilight Court and will not disappear because they leave. As for whether the Twilight Queen herself can come.
In the main material plane, it is also difficult to predict the mysterious particles.
Not to mention Lord Gale's hesitation, Xuan Weizi looked at Queen Twilight and asked: "Just now I heard you mention the Archdruid Morgan Merlin of the Green Circle? Has he ever been to the Twilight King's Court?"
"Yes." Queen Twilight replied: "Didn't you learn about similar situations from the Green Ring?"
"The Archdruid Morgan Merlin disappeared shortly after the establishment of the Green Circle."
The mainland found some relevant information, mentioning that Morgan Merlin traveled alone across the mainland, but no one knew what he was doing and what his intentions were.
At first, some people speculated that Morgan Merlin was disappointed with the corruption of nobles in the decades after the establishment of the empire, so he resigned from the title of "First Sage" in the imperial court and returned to the wild wilderness. Others said that the Eye of Mystery was attached to it.
After the empire, various struggles were used to squeeze out the power of the Emerald Ring in the upper echelons of the empire. There was even speculation within the Emerald Ring that whether the development of druids went against Morgan Merlin's original vision, so they quietly left.
But in any case, Morgan Merlin has disappeared for hundreds of years, and the Green Ring has become accustomed to the absence of the great druid. After all, if a legendary druid deliberately avoids being found by the world, almost no one can find him.
But since I am now regarded as the 'Great Sage' by the Green Ring, I will not miss the news about Morgan Merlin. If you know his whereabouts, please let me know."
Queen Twilight said: "We really don't know the specific whereabouts of Morgan Merlin right now. He is a little different from ordinary druids. He is not obsessed with the natural environment of the material plane, but focuses on large and small alien places.
plane, and master the ability to travel between planes."
Xuan Weizi did feel a little strange when he heard this, because the druid's natural magic relies on the soul to communicate and integrate with nature. And Morgan Merlin's vision goes beyond the main material plane and becomes an elusive plane traveler. Emerald
It’s not surprising that the Ring can’t find their ancestor.
"But, why did Morgan Merlin do this?" Xuan Weizi asked: "The Green Ring suffered a tragic destruction and didn't even care about this kind of thing, or the Archdruid has important enough things to be busy with.
Or he is stuck in some kind of predicament and cannot get out on his own."
"Both are possible." Queen Twilight said: "And I guess that Morgan Merlin may have explored and discovered the secret of the ancient giant's 'ladder of ascent' before others. But the matter is so important that he did not communicate with the others.
Instead of sharing with others, he travels far alone, which is why he once visited the Twilight Court."
Xuan Weizi was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is his perception so sharp? Or did he find some ancient ruins?"
Queen Twilight replied: "It's hard to say, but Morgan Merlin's origin is also a bit strange. He is an oak tree that grows deep in the dense forest, and has a lifespan of more than ten thousand years. I don't know when he was enlightened and gained consciousness and
Mind. Perhaps... he is also the first immortal existence to enter the main material plane. He was just a seed from the beginning, and he only gained an independent mind after a long period of growth."
"Treant?" Xuan Weizi asked: "Just like the Druid's 'Oak Guard', which animates an oak tree into a tree person?"
"No, he is just a green oak, but it is not limited to the tree itself." Queen Twilight stared at Xuan Weizi and said: "His situation is almost the same as yours just now. It has the potential of all biological types and is not limited.
It is the form of any kind of creature. Presumably when he appears and moves in human society, he is also based on the appearance of human beings, right?"
Xuan Weizi immediately understood what Queen Twilight said. He had just transformed into a dragon. It was the completion of "Hundred Beasts Devouring Forms", which condensed the forms of various living creatures and transcended all living creatures.
It is not something that ordinary magic can do, but a real physical and mental state.
If Morgan Merlin also has this kind of state, Xuan Weizi wouldn't think it's too weird. He can be regarded as the "ancestor" of the Green Ring. If you add the background identity of immortal existence, then there are many abilities that ordinary people think are incredible.
It’s no surprise that he is capable.
In fact, in Xuan Weizi's eyes, some of the immortal beings in this world can also be regarded as immortals who transcend life and death. Mortal means can no longer completely kill them. Like the Twilight Queen, unless they have the ability to shake the entire plane world
Huge power, otherwise the legendary mage wouldn't be able to harm her.
"Then what is Morgan Merlin doing?" Xuan Weizi asked: "After he discovered the secret of the ancient giant's 'Ladder of Ascension', is he going to use the 'Ladder of Ascension' to become a god?"
Queen Twilight smiled and said: "Morgan Merlin is not Nazareth. It is not his wish to become the kind of god with strong control. On the contrary, he wants to destroy the 'ladder of ascent'."
"Destroy the 'ascending ladder'?" Xuan Weizi was silent for a long time after hearing this. In fact, it was not that he had never had similar thoughts. Xuan Weizi had doubts about all the creations of ancient giants and semi-giants, especially considering that he
The physical body has some kind of secret connection with the half-giant king Esdrael. The "ladder of ascent" may not be a treasure, but it may also be some kind of key to countering himself.
But based on Xuan Weizi's understanding of the "ladder of ascent", if he wants to destroy or dismantle this invisible existence that is deeply embedded in the rules of the world, he is really troubled by how to start.
"What the Queen means is that Morgan Merlin intends to start from various alien planes that are affected by the 'Ascending Ladder' and dismantle the 'Ascending Ladder' operating mechanism from another direction. Even if someone activates the 'Ascending Ladder' again in the future, they will not be able to
Obtain energy from alien planes and various immortal beings." Xuan Weizi deduced the general strategy: "This is indeed a good method, and it is a means of uprooting the 'Ladder of Ascension'."
"You have said everything I want to say." Queen Twilight smiled warmly.
Xuan Weizi said to himself: "It seems that it is necessary to look for traces of this great druid."
"Besides Morgan Merlin, I'm afraid you have to pay attention to someone else." Queen Twilight continued.
"who?"
"Mephisetis." Queen Twilight said with a cautious expression: "Even I can't see the origin of this person clearly, and her current understanding of the 'Ladder of Ascension' should be much deeper than yours."
"The queen is worried that she will be harmful to me?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"I can't make this judgment, but you must have noticed that Mephistis is using you to achieve a certain goal." Queen Twilight said: "On the surface, this behavior will make you profit, but the final result will be
How it will happen, no one can predict.”
Xuan Weizi really doesn't like to be controlled by others. He also saw the way Mephisetis used the ancient giant ruins and the "ascending ladder" to completely wipe out the city of Loyev and a large number of Mysterious Eye mages. This
The "Queen of Missiles" is really fierce and fierce when she attacks.
In fact, Xuan Weizi guessed that Mephisetis should be similar to Nazaruis, harboring the idea of using the "ladder of ascent" to become a god. This is not surprising. The process of a mage studying arcana is very easy to cultivate.
Out of the desire to control the external environment. This is originally a common thinking mode, but due to the positive feedback effect of arcane study, it continues to expand and expand, so that desires are raging and out of control.
Nazaruis is a typical example. To be more precise, the formation of such a mage culture in this world has a lot to do with Nazaruis. However, he himself fell into the blindness caused by this burning desire for control. I think.
To overcome the obstacles posed by this kind of thinking, you need to restrain your own thinking and behavior, and conduct deep internal examination and reflection.
And when you really take this step, no matter whether you are taught the Taoism of the Immortal Family or not, you are indeed "cultivating".
In Xuan Weizi's view, no matter what ethnic group or civilization, as long as they have the ability to reflect on their own existence and behavior, they are qualified to practice, or it is possible to develop a path of practice, because this is
A key to the long-term continuation of a group or civilization.
The development of any ethnic group and civilization must be supported by an endogenous positive feedback mechanism, either relying on military violence, religious beliefs, or technology and commerce, in order to obtain actual material gains and continue to promote development and development.
expansion.
However, unchecked development and expansion will either exhaust resources and lead to collapse, or uneven internal distribution will cause division and disintegration. Therefore, in order to cope with the crisis caused by disorderly expansion and to allow an ethnic group or civilization to continue for a long time, it is necessary to have responsible people.
Feedback mechanism for constrained control.
However, if the negative feedback mechanism is too strong, it will also cause rigidity and involution within the ethnic group. Excessive order will also oppress the ethnic group, which will shake the vitality of the ethnic group and even civilization in the long run.
The sages have said that "one yin and one yang are called Tao", and "yin and yang are unpredictable and are called gods." The reasonable use of positive and negative feedback mechanisms, just like the reconciliation of yin and yang, is the key to the long-term continuation of ethnic groups or civilizations.
As the saying goes, "If the shadow does not grow, the sun cannot grow." Without the support of positive feedback, it will be difficult for ethnic groups to develop and expand; without the constraints of negative feedback, civilization itself will be difficult to sustain.
Taoism compares self-cultivation to governing a country. Yin and yang are like the positive and negative operations of a family, a country, or even a civilization. Only by harmonizing yin and yang and making use of unexpected things can we truly achieve perfection and make the entire civilization sublime and transcendent.
As for those who practice Taoism, what they cultivate is the use of yin and yang, internal self-reflection, and getting rid of stubborn habits. This is to enter the key points of Taoism and hear the secrets of Taoism.
Specific to Nazarui and the Eye of Mystery, it is obviously difficult for them to reflect on themselves, and it is also difficult for them to generate negative feedback to restrict expansion. For the Eye of Mystery, mage-based military violence and arcane technology are the core
Ability, industrial and commercial status related to the production of magic items, these three items support their crazy expansion. And these three items, in turn, form a strange "arcane belief" within the Eye of Mystery, slandering and scorning others.
Spellcasting system.
All in all, unless Nazarui and the Eye of Mystery really smash their heads and bleed, they will not stop their expansion. They do not have this internal negative feedback mechanism to restrict expansion, or it is not effective enough.
But looking at the Mutual Protection Alliance, although the Pentagram Tower also has the strong desire for expansion and control like a mage, it is constrained by the forces headed by Xuan Weizi. This situation was not expected by Xuan Weizi in advance.
As my state of mind improves, I realize a lot more clearly as my thoughts rise and fall.
Looking back now, Mephisetis seems to have intentionally led this pattern. Because Xuanweizi's initial contact with the Pentagram Tower was due to pure interest exchanges, and later he personally killed the "Son of the Fire Demon" Foss.
Man.
Logically speaking, Mephisetis, as the chief mage of the Tower of Pentagram, has no need to protect such an outsider. Even if it is to suppress the relevant forces of "Fire Demon" Sidons, this move is a bit out of line.
The more Xuan Weizi thinks about it now, the more he feels that he is walking on the path arranged by Mephisetis, helping her smooth out the possible flaws of the Pentagram Tower, and also pulling a large number of forces to join the Mutual Protection Alliance. Now he is making suggestions,
Let the Mutual Protection Alliance transform into a more stable and centralized country.
There is just one question, who will be the highest ruler of this country in the future? The highest authority must only allow one person. It is impossible that Mephistis does not understand this matter. Will she take action against Xuan Weizi by then?
Some things cannot be dismissed as nothing if Xuan Weizi has no intention or action. Who cultivates talents, how benefits are distributed, and whose will the governance structure obeys, these things determine who is the ruler.
Even Xuan Weizi felt that he was in some danger, because what he was doing was actually evading Mephisetis' status in the Mutual Protection Alliance. If this "missile queen" was more wary, she would probably
It's time to take action against Xuan Weizi.
The current situation is strange to Xuan Weizi. If Mephisetis doesn't attack her, then her best choice is to combine with herself and have a "two saints' visit" in another world to establish the
The combination of ruling powers, rather than maintaining the current ambiguous and unpredictable situation.
"No matter what, it's time for me to return to the main material plane." Xuan Weizi said: "There may be a day in the future when I need the assistance of the Twilight King's Court."
Queen Twilight nodded tacitly and said: "When that day comes, the Twilight King's Court will be your solid backing. Lord Gale will go to the main material plane with you, freeing you from all worries."
Lord Gale shook the thorn spear in his hand: "I can set off at any time and guarantee that I will send you back to the distance. It will also be a good time to experience the environment of the main material plane."
Queen Twilight reminded: "By the way, don't forget to take Palina with you. She is in the rose garden and has been sleeping for a long time."
