"That's the concept of Enkels the Almighty."
A silver-white inscription appeared on the gray-clothed man's hand, and he waved his fingertips, but no books flew out from the bookshelf.
"That book was lent by the man in black seventeen years ago."
The man in grey glanced at the vacant space on the bookshelf, and then he remembered that a large part of the books he had collected were borrowed by the man in black.
"What does the man in black want those books for?"
"He and the man in blue have been investigating a mysterious religion."
The man in gray waved his hand again, and another book flew out of the bookshelf and landed on Joshua's hand.
The text of this book is still an ancient and unknown text, and the man in gray is very considerate to use a note to add a line of notes below.
"Outside the world?"
Joshua read out this line of comments.
"It describes a religion that people believed in many years ago. I think it is the predecessor of the current Inquisition of Heresy." The man in gray said.
"...that." Joshua took out the blueprint he drew again. "I just want to find out who the owner of this arm is, and what are her weaknesses... If she is a magic doll, there are Can any switch turn it off?"
"This book mentions a magical machine that can lock the mind and thinking of living beings. Its fuel is human emotions, and its function is to fix a specific thought and emotion in the mind."
While the man in grey said these words, an owl stopped on his shoulder and seemed to whisper something to him.
"It still sounds complicated. Is this thing made by the predecessor of the Heresy Tribunal?"
Qiao Xiu opened the book "Beyond the World" again, and Qiao Xiu still couldn't understand a single word of the content recorded there.
"This is the 'evil thing' that the religion wants to destroy, and the creator was executed by them." The man in gray said that the owl standing on his arm fluttered his wings and flew away, and his eyes also looked at The Tower of the Sages in the distance "The man in black will talk more in detail than I have. He will describe this at the Council of Sages soon, are you interested?"
"Can I... go to the Council of Sages?"
Joshua remembered that only sages could enter that council.
"As the pre-determined successor apprentice, you have the qualification to be an auditor." The man in gray glanced at Ciri beside Qiao Xiu and said, "Although you are not my apprentice, you are my mentor."
Qiao Xiu works as a programming teacher at the Rusk Academy. This aged sage is one of the smartest disciples in Qiao Xiu's class.
"It seems that I can only go and listen."
Joshua had a feeling when he was playing an RPG game. In order to achieve his goal, he had to run back and forth between several NPCs. Occasionally, an NPC would ask, "You can help me catch three chickens and come back to tell you the news."
But Qiao Xiu felt that this experience should also be one of the fun of the game, as long as it was not too complicated.
…
It was the second time that Qiao Xiu came to the Council of Sages to hang out. The last time Qiao Xiu came to the Council of Sages, he only saw the man in white.
In today's council of sages, except for those in blue and purple, all other sages were present.
In front of the man in black is an ancient book and a lot of blueprints. It seems that he is explaining his research results over the years to the sages.
"You guys continue."
Qiao Xiu noticed that the eyes of the other five sages were all looking at him, and he waved his hand and found a place to sit in a remote corner.
The man in red wanted to say something, but finally gave up. As old acquaintances of the five sages of Nolan, they really had no objection when Qiao Xiu sat here.
"The so-called 'real world' in our eyes is the world we see, touch, and feel first, so we think this world is real, while in the 'real world' in the eyes of canine creatures, colors such as Things don't exist, because the world in the eyes of dogs is gray and white..." The man in black began to narrate a long paragraph of things that Joshua couldn't understand.
"Are you going to talk about the subject directly?"
The man in yellow looked more impatient than Joshua. He followed the man in black to support those high elves some time ago, but he was not less angry with those high elves, but he got a more useful news, that is, he found himself Those "game friends" of the chief apprentice on the magic web.
"What I'm trying to explain is... Outsiders are creatures that don't exist in our world."
With a wave of the man in black, a huge manuscript paper appeared in front of him. On the manuscript paper, there was a piece of thread painted with charcoal, and the words "outside the world" were written in the universal script below.
"We can't recognize it, or we don't have the ability to see it, or touch it."
"So? You want to say that this thing has been lingering beside me long ago?" The man in yellow interrupted the man in black again.
Why does Qiao Xiu feel more and more like the feeling in "The Myth of Cthulhu", if it is really that kind of "weird" existence, Qiao Xiu really has no way to eliminate it.
"No, that's why it can't enter our world!" The man in black clapped his hands on the table and glanced at all the sages present with a serious look. "The inhabitants of human beings, as well as other races of intelligent creatures, I don't know what 'Outside' is, so it doesn't exist in this world at all."
"But the Inquisition of Heresy in the Holy Land is trying to summon that guy."
The man in red suddenly said that his relationship with the Holy Land has not been good recently.
"For the outsider to enter our world, it must have a large number of believers who believe it 'exists', its appearance, form and power... This gives it the ability to invade the consciousness space of the root, when the world tree When it fades away, it will come to the real world!"
"Wait a minute! Did you mention the consciousness space just now?" Joshua raised his hand at this moment and asked the man in black.
"That's right... Joshua Arnorod, you have touched the sacred tree of our family, and you should have the right to enter there. I also strayed into that space when I was young. It is a completely empty world, and all intelligent creatures The emotions of the crowd gather there, and the things outside the world will use them as food after entering, and we will not have any ability to resist!" The man in black once again warned everyone present with a loud voice.
"Then what should we do? Are we summoning soldiers from all countries in the world to Arthur Crowe to touch your world tree? Then line up one by one into the space of consciousness to fight that monster?" The man in yellow sneered say.
"No." Qiao Xiu heard the description of the consciousness space by the man in black, and interrupted the sarcasm of the man in yellow at the same time, "I have been there recently, and there is not nothing there."
