Quadruple split

"Teach me..."

Mo Tan looked at Shan Po in surprise and asked curiously: "Why is this your top priority in the future?"

Ax Soul, who was the first to guide Mo Tan, also turned to look at Shan Soul: "Yes, yes, why?"

Sha Po did not raise any questions, but said with a smile: "As long as Brother Mo needs it, I will always be willing to help as before. Brother Mo is a quick learner~"

"The beneficiaries of this matter are not only Brother Mo, but also us."

The handsome elf guy stretched out his index finger and gently brushed it from the ridge of the fan, and said with a serious expression: "Let's put it this way, Ax Soul and Sha Soul, you should have discovered that our 'sobriety' this time is not normal. , look back at the medium on the cauldron's forging furnace. No matter which one of us it displays as a weapon, it looks dead and dull. Only Jian Po's [Ruthless Sword] is slightly better, but It’s just a little more angry, but it’s still far from being comparable to the ruthless sword in perfect condition.”

Ax Soul smacked his lips and shrugged: "To be honest, I think Jian Soul..."

"Listen to me first, man, now is not the time for small talk. I don't think Brother Mo should stay here for too long, so we don't actually have much time."

Shan Po gently interrupted Ax Po's complaints and continued: "To be honest, including you, Brother Mo, it is difficult for each of us to grasp the situation now, and there are countless unclear problems. , so when we are planning our recent ideas, we must make some trade-offs. Among them, exploring our past, exploring the origin of the so-called [Akatsuki], and exploring the specialness of this person and other ambiguous issues must be pushed to the back. Is that understandable?"

Mo Tan nodded immediately and said sincerely: "Of course, I actually think so too."

"I think that at this stage, any communication with Ax Soul and Sha Soul will benefit you a lot and make things interesting and harmonious."

Shan Po said something briskly, which immediately made the straight-hearted Ax Po grin, while Sha Po shrank his neck reservedly.

Swish——

"but……"

Suddenly closing the fan in his hand, the elf man with warm and deep eyes took a deep breath and said seriously: "We need some more practical topics now. We should know what we should do now, so I will accept it." Let’s explain the work below, so without further ado, let’s get into the first topic, the impact of this mountain on us.”

Mo Tan nodded slightly and pinched his chin unconsciously: "Yes, Ax Soul said just now that the reason why you regained consciousness is precisely because of this Tianzhu Mountain."

"Yes, according to my speculation, if we follow the normal process, the process of our real awakening will be very long, especially the ability to think beyond instinct. It is not something that can be achieved overnight if we want to return to the current situation. "

Shan Po agreed with deep understanding and said: "Since now is not the time to trace the origin, we will skip the reasons for the time being and just talk about the conclusion. At present, it seems that this place called 'Tianzhu Mountain' has a special feature. , its internal rules are almost self-contained compared to the outside world, and they are not basic rules such as color and temperature, but deeper unspoken rules (Hearing this, Mo Tan's eyebrows jumped), so I can almost conclude, Our suppressed consciousness under normal circumstances is consistent with the rules outside Tianzhu Mountain. In other words, when the rules are replaced, we will return to normal because we are no longer subject to concepts such as 'common sense' and 'routine'."

Ax Soul frowned and said cautiously: "Why do I think this is all nonsense..."

"No, this is the most basic conclusion."

Shan Po shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "What I want to explain is not simple, but it is intuitive enough. That is, when Brother Mo leaves the range of this mountain, our consciousness will most likely become scattered again. , until he comes back here, or gradually wakes us up through conventional means."

Mo Tan raised his head and looked at [Xiao] who had once again switched to the form of a ruthless sword in mid-air. Unsurprisingly, he noticed the flash of cold light on the hilt of the sword: "I think I roughly know what your so-called 'conventional means' are. What do you mean?"

Sha Po shook his head and raised his little hand obediently: "Then, if Brother Mo stays here..."

"This is unrealistic."

Shan Po shook his head, spread his hands and said: "First, in a strict sense, Brother Mo can basically be regarded as half of our 'master'. There is no reason for him just to allow us to think and communicate normally. Give up your thoughts, plans, and relationships in the outside world and stay here; secondly, staying in this mountain for a long time may not be a good thing. Have you noticed the 'fuel' under the furnace?"

Mo Tan, Ax Soul, and Sha Soul simultaneously turned to look at the bottom of the cauldron forging furnace. Unsurprisingly, they focused their attention on the liquid that had the texture of water, but its appearance and temperature were like magma.

Ax Soul, who seemed to be well versed in the art of blacksmithing, was the first to speak: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

Shan Po pinched his eyebrows dumbfounded, and then asked Sha Po softly: "Do you still remember what it was like here before? If you could stay awake in the past long years, you should not have no impression, right? .”

"Is it the past? If it's a longer past, there's nothing there."

Sha Po answered without hesitation, and then added: "But if it is in recent times, there will occasionally be beautiful fires that light up, sometimes big and sometimes small. They light up for a while and then go out, and then... …That’s what it is now.”

Shan Po showed an expression of 'Sure enough,' and asked: "So, do you still remember what the weapon on top of the forge looked like when the 'fire' was on? Is it different from now?" "

"There is a difference."

Sha Po nodded quickly and replied cheerfully: "When the fire is lit, the swords above are basically the swords of Sister Jian Po. Secondly, well, she should be Brother Qian Po's precious wife. How can she be like this now?" The appearance after the change is completely different.”

"Well, it seems that my conclusion of the investigation of this furnace in the past two days is correct."

Shan Po smiled slightly and said with a solemn gaze: "The flames that Sha Po saw recently are the most theoretically correct way to wake up, and this hot substance now is unique within the scope of Tianzhu Mountain and can What keeps us awake is just an 'abnormal phenomenon' that keeps us awake."

Sha Po shook his head restlessly and said with a smile: "But Brother Shan Po, this should be a good 'abnormal phenomenon', right? After all, everyone is awake, so it feels like it should be a good thing."

"Everything must be viewed from multiple angles. It is true that this anomaly has brought certain benefits, but if you think about it carefully, the situation has not actually changed. At best, we have just changed from staying here in a daze to Just stay here with your sanity."

Shan Po smiled at Sha Po gently and patiently, and then added: "More than that, I personally think it is not a good thing if this situation continues. Ax Po should know better in this regard."

"Consumption..."

Ax Soul patted his cheek hard, put the wine bag in his hand into his arms, stood up from his previous careless look, and walked slowly to the casting furnace a few meters away, his eyes slightly narrowed: "This It is not a normal smelting process. Shan Po is right. Although this meaningless maintenance can make the forged things...maybe the medium, maybe our weapons, and of course it may be ourselves. In short, this The process has no positive effect at all except that it can always maintain our state. On the contrary, if this is really a casting furnace, in the long run... it will inevitably cause wear and tear. The worst result may directly cause the relationship between the media and us. When the weapons collapse, at that time, we who are living in our respective weapons will also die together. Damn it, I was still complacent before..."

"In my opinion, Ax Soul is an excellent craftsman, and a very good one."

Shan Po looked at Mo Tan and Sha Po calmly, and said softly: "And I am a person who likes to use my brain. On this basis, since we have reached the same conclusion, then this can probably be understood as an established fact. In other words, if we stay here all the time, it will never be a good thing for us."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I'm just about to leave."

"I know that at least in a sober state, even if you don't use that medium to transform my seven-star fan, I can still sense some things outside."

Shan Po nodded and smiled at Mo Tan: "In short, we have finished talking about the main premise. Now let's talk about the details. First of all, after you leave the scope of Tianzhu Mountain, our consciousness will probably disappear soon. It will continue to be suppressed, and even if the killing spirit is not affected, I am afraid it will be difficult to communicate with you like now...or just now, unless..."

"Unless I wake you up by 'normal means'."

Mo Tan did not let Shan Po finish what he said, but followed the opponent's pace very naturally: "And this process is actually not simple. I also have some simple information to tell you."

After that, Mo Tan tried his best to introduce the various characteristics of [Xiao] to Shan Po in terms that NPCs could understand, including its various features and upgrade mechanisms. During this process, Ax Po had been studying the cauldron. Casting furnace, Sha Po sat next to him obediently and played with his nails. Only Shan Po always maintained a high degree of concentration and asked a few questions from time to time.

…

ten minutes later

"I see. If you look at it this way, the so-called conventional methods are exactly what I expected."

Shan Po looked quite happy and laughed, and concluded: "So, the reason why Jian Po wakes up faster than us is because her sword has been forged to [ordinary] quality by your previous battles." , Well, in other words, it is the [low-level] in common sense, and the two qualities of excellence and excellence you mentioned correspond to [intermediate-level] and [high-level] respectively, and then there are the [epic] and [high-level] that we are familiar with. [legend].”

At this moment, Sha Po, who was not listening very carefully but could still follow the conversation, suddenly blinked, tilted his body and put his head in Mo Tan's hand: "If you put it this way, I think everyone's weapons are worthy of the title." It must be considered a [legend]."

"I have no doubt about it."

Mo Tan rubbed Sha Po's hair and said with a wry smile: "It's just that it's really hard for me to imagine how long it would take to 'forge' all your weapons to the level of Legend. How long will it take for me to get it?" It’s not short anymore, but now only one form, the Ruthless Sword, has barely been upgraded to ordinary quality.”

"Don't think about legends or anything like that."

Unlike Sha Po who pouted because of disappointment, Shan Po just said with a normal expression: "I have been trying to recall recent events in the past two days. In terms of time, it was probably from the time you got [Dawn]. During the time we went to Tianzhu Mountain, during this process, we still occasionally interacted with each other as before, but it’s a pity that in my eyes, the sword soul really hasn’t changed at all.”

Mo Tan nodded with a subtle expression. He had only had a brief exchange with Jian Soul, but even if Jian Soul was theoretically in an 'awake' state, the feeling given to him was... to put it mildly, the reflex arc was almost gone. It can circle the earth several times.

"Haha, it seems you have guessed the reason. In short, it is difficult for me to judge the status of the sword spirit from the information I see, but..."

Having said this, Shan Po suddenly cast his gaze on Sha Po's face, who was enjoying having his head touched, and said softly: "If I can stay awake throughout these long years, I will not let go of even the slightest difference in you. , we should be able to draw a relatively correct conclusion, right?”

"I actually don't know very well."

Sha Po tilted her head, and while tapping her lower lip gently with her white and slender index finger, she muttered: "But as for Sister Jian Po... well, there is indeed a big change, at least for me. I think so."

Shan Po suddenly beamed with joy and asked: "What is the approximate degree of change? In other words, if we take her as an example, from the initial state of confusion to the current state where she has completely recovered in theory, it takes Go through a few phases.”

Sha Po sighed, and then closed her eyes. After being silent for a while, she said in her voice that was still very young and cute, but had lost all emotion: "According to the information given by Brother Mo, the sword soul The range of changes on your body is based on that of everyone except me. After the [intermediate level], you will recover most of your thinking ability, and after the [high level], you can communicate with Brother Mo under any circumstances."

"very good."

Shan Po suddenly clapped his hands and said sternly to Mo Tan: "In this case, what needs to be done now is very clear."

"Are you trying to improve all the forms of [Akatsuki] to the [sophisticated] level, that is, the [high-level] level?"

"No, before that, you need to go say hello to everyone's domain."

"greet?"

"Yes, hello."
