Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3174 Long Confused Clan

How do you get old.

This is what the newly appeared Jingmu clan said to Cassata.

From a literal point of view, he seems to be "feeling" or "doubting" why Cassata suddenly grows old.

The deeper implications, though, are interesting.

First of all, he must know Cassata.In other words, the "old friend" that Cassata whispered at the end should be this one.

An old friend means an old friend or an old friend.Generally, they refer to friends who have been with each other for many years, and Cassata has become a member of the elders' house 600 years ago, and the natural life span of the Jingmu people is generally [-] to [-] years old.Cassata has obviously reached the end of his lifespan. His old friend is likely to be several hundred years old?

But this Jingmu clan with a single earring looks more like a young man than an old man in terms of appearance.This is one of the doubts.

Also, since Cassata has reached the end of his life, if no external intervention is made, his appearance "aging" is a natural law.

In other words, at his current age, Cassata should have shown his old age.

With this in mind, what the Jingmu clan with the one-sided earring said was very interesting.

Combined with the previous speculation, he seemed not to understand why "old friend" Cassata suddenly became so old?
It was as if he had been asleep for too long, or had been isolated from the world for too long, in a utopia where time was frozen, completely unaware of the passing of time outside.

At this point, there is a lot of room for imagination.

Where was he before that?Why don't you know how time flies?Why do old friends get old, but you are still young?

And... why did he need a ritual to appear?And the location of this ceremony was chosen in the Ring Fort where Renlairen was supposed to be?

A further guess is that the ring fort was chosen for the ceremony, or that the Jingmu tribe built the ring fort for the purpose of the ceremony?If it's the latter, it's scary to think about it carefully.

You must know that the internal structure of Crystal City is connected in series by ring forts one by one.

While Angor was meditating, Luigi on the side got a new message: "Gleipnir reproduced the appearance of the Jingmu tribe just now through mirror reflection."

The so-called mirror image is to present the image in a mirror way.

"Gleipnir's original intention was to determine the identity of this Jingmu tribe through Fada's identification. But unfortunately, Fada didn't know this person, and she didn't even see him at all. "

"In Fada's own words, it's—"

"He looks very distinctive, especially his pair of elf-like long ears, which are extremely rare in the Jingmu tribe. But it's strange, I haven't seen him in Crystal City."

Fada's words actually mean that he has a very recognizable appearance and has extremely rare long ears. He should be the object of discussion among the Jingmu people.In other words, he can become a man of the day in the gossip world.

But Fada had never seen such a unique existence in Crystal City, which made her very puzzled.

Fada was puzzled, but her words made Angel confirm her guess.

This Jingmu tribe manifested through an unknown ritual may have been "isolated" for a long time, so long that when he saw Cassata, he would wonder why the other party was getting old. People who have been here for nearly 400 years have never seen each other's appearance.

Angel expressed his guess.

Laplace raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything; while Luigi remained silent... It's not that Luigi thought of anything, it's purely because he was communicating with Gleipnir through mind synchronization.

Half a minute later, Luigi said: "Your guess should be right. However, there is obviously a disordered time phenomenon in his body, and what this disordered time phenomenon manifests in him is: time stops passing, or time The passage of time is slowing down. And being isolated from the world will not cause disordered time, so there should be deeper secrets in it."

"Gleipnir already has a guess, and this guess may be the core piece of the 'puzzle' she is looking for."

Luigi paused: "Wait a moment, the answer should come out soon."

In Hilda's study room, if nothing else, there are leftover puzzles hidden.When all the pieces of the puzzle come together, that's when the secret is revealed.

Even though Gleipnir already had a guess, she still had to find the rest of the puzzle and find important evidence to support her guess.

……

While waiting for Gleipnir to find the puzzle, Angel and the others embarked on the road to the siege party again.

The passages they walked before were basically dim, and the only advantage was that there was only one way.There will be no fork in the road, just keep going, and you will always reach the end.

But now this passage, the first half of the road is the same as before, but as they advance, not only the passage is getting wider and brighter, the light is getting brighter, and there are even forks.

However, although there are forks in the road, there are signposts at each intersection to ensure that you will not get lost.

As for why this happened suddenly, according to Luigi's explanation, the main station of the siege party is getting closer and closer, and the various passages will also converge.After all, if there is no merger, wouldn't the main station of the siege party be full of passages, more sieves than sieves?

And hundreds of channels will eventually merge into ten main channels.

They should be one of the ten main passages now.

So, will you meet people from other channels later?Angel looked at the fork in the road that kept appearing, thinking so in his heart.

Before this idea fell into place, Angel heard the sound of "thump, thump, thump".

The sound came from a fork in the road ahead.

"Is someone here?" Angel whispered.

Luigi nodded: "It's hard to say whether it's 'human' or not. Although there are many humanoid races in the Sun Mirror Domain, the non-human races occupy the mainstream."

For example, Mirror Dragon is not a humanoid race.

However, the loud sound of "thump, thump, thump" was obviously not made by Mirror Dragon.

This sound is different from the footsteps in Angel's impression. From the sense of hearing, it is a bit like... the sound of a blind stick.

When a blind man holds a stick, when the tip of the stick touches the ground, the sound is so crisp.

However, today's sound is only the sound of the blind stick hitting the ground, and there is no sound of the blind man's footsteps.So, it might not be the cane.

While Angel was guessing silently, the sound got closer and closer, and finally, 'he' walked out of the crystal-like fork.

When "he" appeared, Angel was obviously stunned for a second, because the appearance of the other party was too much like a wood spirit.

To be precise, it is the "stickman" that changes from the wood spirit.

However, this one is thicker and taller than the "stickman", which can be called an enlarged version of the stickman, or "bamboo man".

Literally "bamboo pole".

His body is a pitch-black stick, like a fire stick, or a black iron bamboo pole.The hands are also slender rods, segment by segment, and his legs... well, there are no definite legs, the rod is straight from head to toe.

Because of this, his so-called "walking" is actually jumping and jumping, and the stick lands directly, so the sound it makes is so similar to a blind stick.

Although the body is a black stick and has no defined feet, he has facial features.

After he came out of the fork, he obviously noticed Angor and the others behind him. He turned around and looked back, so Angor saw his face.

Similarly, he has no so-called head, and his face is also on a straight stick.He couldn't see his nose, his mouth was split open, and he could see a row of shining fangs. His eyes were inverted crescent moons, and the inside was scarlet, giving people a sense of treachery with malicious intentions.

When the bamboo pole man saw Angel and the others, his crooked scarlet eyes flickered, as if he wanted to get closer.

However, before he could make a move, he saw Laplace's pair of indifferent pupils.

Laplace didn't say anything, just stared at him lightly.

That look... as always, looked at people like crumbs.

Being stared at by such eyes, according to his character, he should be angry, but this time, he didn't have a trace of anger.His emotions were frozen by an inexplicable coldness.

Although he didn't know why, he already understood that this group of people was not easy to mess with.

He was silent for a moment, and smiled at Angel and the others with what he thought was good intentions, and then disappeared in the next second.

He didn't disappear out of thin air. Angel could feel that his power was a bit similar to Wizard Kanter. His so-called disappearance was actually melting into the darkness and leaving quickly along the darkness.

However, compared to Wizard Kanter's ability, the fluctuations in him are much more obvious. At least when Wizard Kanter merged into the darkness, Angel could not perceive his existence.And this one, the fluctuations can be found across the barrier.

But I have to say that although the fluctuations in his body are large, the speed is quite fast.

It left Angel's range of perception almost in an instant, and he didn't know where he went at this time.

"Heh, it's really unlucky to meet the Changhuo clan!"

While Angor was still staring at the empty distance, Luigi's cold snort came from beside his ear.

"Changhuozu, you mean that big stick figure just now?" Angel asked curiously.

Luigi nodded, with obvious disgust on his face: "That's right, although the reputation of this race in the Sun Mirror Domain is a bit better than that of Piluxiu, in my opinion, they are actually more disgusting than Piluxiu. .”

"At least, when I went to find Barbaregon, if I was interested, I was willing to play the piano in front of Piluxiu. But Changhuo, hehe, even if Hua Ningjing invited me, I wouldn't go! Dog! Don't go to the show!"

"Dogs don't go...nor do you...then you..." Angel muttered in a low voice.

Luigi glared angrily: "Don't grab my words, I'm expressing my dislike for the Changhuo people! I don't even understand why the various ethnic groups hate Piluxiu more, at least Piluxiu still has an aura head, but the Changhuo tribe has nothing, they only provoke troubles every day, they are the mosquitoes in the Bairi mirror domain, and they have no benefit except blood sucking."

It was the first time for Angel to hear Luigi express such dissatisfaction with a certain race, which made Angel a little curious, how did this Changhu tribe offend Luigi?

"I didn't offend me, I just can't understand some of their actions!" Luigi still said angrily, there was nothing dry in his words other than outputting emotions.

Angel could only focus on Laplace.

Laplace also understood what Angel meant, and introduced this "Changhuo Clan".

The space in the mirror where the Changhuo people live is: the Valley of Split.They seem to be naturally close to the dark, able to manipulate the power of darkness and the power of shadow.

They have "confusion" in their names, but they are not charms, but incitement.

They are born to be provocative, love to sow discord, like to provoke antagonism and divide various ethnic groups.But they don't just do this externally, they also criticize each other internally and divide and oppose each other.

The place where they lived was originally called "Shadow Valley", but later the Changhuo tribe gave birth to a few crouching dragons and phoenix chicks. They provoked disputes externally and the opposition between "Darkness" and "Shadow" internally, so the Shadow Valley It was split into the Dark Valley and the Shadow Valley, leading to a complete split within the Changhuo tribe, which is why it is called the Valley of Split.

The reason why Luigi hates the Changhuo people is also because of their incitement tactics.

Although the Changhuo tribe did not incite Luigi, they provoked many disputes in Buluowangcheng, one of which made Luigi very angry.

This dispute can be summed up in one sentence: the Changhuo tribe created a provocative performance called "elegant art".

It sounds complicated, but it actually puts the definitions of "grace music" and "vulgar music" in the human world in the city of Buluowang.

A certain musical instrument is elegant music, and a certain musical instrument is common music.A certain piece of music is as elegant as snow, and a certain piece of music is as vulgar as it is bad.

The methods of the Changhuo people are not clever, but they are very good at grasping people's hearts.

In the end, it really started the dispute.

For Luigi, this incident was very unreasonable and a kind of pollution.Therefore, he hates the Changhuo tribe extremely.

Of course, the Changhuo people didn't really just instigate for the sake of incitement, they also got a lot of benefits from the dispute.Every dispute can make them a lot of money.

Their current reputation is better than that of Piluxiu, and there is also a reason why they use money to buy people's hearts.

As for why they "buy people's hearts", it's not really for fame. This is also their method of incitement: to provoke some people, appease some people, buy some people, and suppress some people.

Thus, a cycle of incitement is established.

"However, the Changhuo people are not completely useless as Luigi said, they also have advantages." Laplace: "They are very knowledgeable about current affairs."

When your strength far exceeds that of the Changhuo tribe, and can even crush the Changhuo tribe, at this time, the threat of the Changhuo tribe to you will become smaller, and it may even become a sharp blade in your hands.

And Laplace has the power to completely crush the Changhuo tribe, so she commented that the Changhuo tribe's knowledge of current affairs is an advantage, and it is completely fine.

Thinking back to the Changhuo tribe who ran away quickly when they sensed something was wrong, Angel nodded silently.

Indeed, very sensible.
