"What proposal?" the male phantom asked.
"I want to hire you to work for me."
A white bird appeared on Qiao Xiu's arm. Since Qiao Xiu became the "resident" of the High Elf World Tree, Qiao Xiu could summon its consciousness wherever he went.
"I can provide you with an infinite living abode, and... an inexhaustible source of energy."
Qiao Xiu put forward conditions that every sublimator could not refuse.
"The tree of the world?"
The female phantom recognized the true identity of the white bird on Joshua's arm.
At this moment, Joshua could hear a mixture of fear and disgust in her voice.
"Watcher! Do you want us to go back to that cruel battlefield again!"
"Battlefield? What battlefield?" Qiao Xiu didn't understand where the female phantom's anger came from.
"Watcher, how long have you been in this world?"
The phantom of the man stopped the woman's further reprimand to Joshua, and asked Joshua's age in a calm voice.
"Twenty," said Joshua.
"A newly born bloodline? The lifespan of the caretaker is not long... You should be the seventh or eighth generation bloodline of the original caretaker. Your parents or ancestors really didn't tell you anything about the past?"
"No."
There is no memory of any past history in Joshua's memory, and even Joshua, who is the caretaker, has no way of knowing what it is.
"… "
The male phantom sighed slightly, and his gaze swept across the blue-clothed man and the black-clothed man behind Qiao Xiu, as well as the two guardian dragons.
"High elves, and two guardians... I think you all have memories of being invaded by... the so-called outsiders." The words spoken by the male phantom were recognized by Elder Quitoan.
Although the destruction of Arthur Crowe at first seemed like the result of human beings, what ultimately destroyed Arthur Crowe was part of the Outer Worlds.
"We tried it in the past." The male phantom waved his hand, and a group of human projections appeared in front of Joshua.
Joshua took a few steps back and found that these human beings dressed in robes similar to Mage Nolan were surrounding a "coffin" made of pure white stone materials.
"It is prophesied that this is the second visit of the Outsiders to this world, and our ancestors had found a way to fight them earlier generations ago," said the male phantom.
"Method... what is it?"
Elder Kuitoan couldn't help asking at this moment, this was also what he cared about.
"Before entering the real world, things outside the world will first draw energy in the conscious world, and after it draws enough energy to transform... There is no chance of winning again in the real world."
As the male phantom explained, a human phantom lay in the "coffin" in front of Joshua.
"So we decided to repel him in the world of consciousness and build an army... that can fight in the world of consciousness. The method is the 'The Way of Ascension'."
"Stop!" Joshua interrupted the male phantom's sorrowful narration. His narration, coupled with the projection in front of him, sounded a bit epic.
Elder Quitoan had long been immersed in that tragic war, but Joshua always felt that something was wrong.
"You mean you sent real human souls into the world of consciousness to fight... those monsters?"
"Yes." The male phantom nodded. "That war was painful, we..."
"What are we, have you really studied the mechanism and structure of the conscious world?"
Qiao Xiu interrupted the male phantom again. The female phantom next to her couldn't help it when she saw Qiao Xiu's attitude, but she was quickly stopped by her companion.
"Mechanism and structure? The world of consciousness is not the seat of the mind and soul of living beings? According to records, the world tree of the high elves is human..."
"No... I mean, do you know that in the world of consciousness, the fantasy of living beings can be realized?"
Joshua interrupted the male phantom again ruthlessly, because he didn't talk about the main topic for a long time.
"Fantasy, our soldiers have indeed fought side by side with many heroes of the past in the space of consciousness, and there are some gods, we have always believed that it is their soul." Male phantom said.
"That's the crux of the matter!"
Qiao Xiu has always wondered what the social structure of these ancestors was. If they have a technological level that is ahead of human beings, they should not be bad in terms of entertainment.
"Don't you ever think that those heroes are imaginary characters that exist in your people's minds? And the speed of dissemination of the technological information you have mastered should not be slow, like something similar to a performance."
"Joshua! Josh!"
The man in blue came to Qiao Xiu's side at this time, and this time it was Qiao Xiu's turn to chatter and was interrupted by the man in blue.
"What's wrong?" Joshua asked.
"According to the records of past history, the level of magic possessed by sublimators is also passed down by some ancient technologies. They have wisdom far beyond ours, but the structure of society and some aspects of life is similar to us."
As a historical authority, the man in blue expressed his views on the civilization of the world a thousand years ago.
"It means that the Ascender is also a civilization that relies on archaeology to improve the technology tree? So where did the magic technology you master come from?"
"The Age of Gods."
Elder Quitoan also came forward to Josh Cope at this time.
"It was long before our high elves existed. Maybe my mother knew something."
"Okay... well... I don't want to hear your history review anymore."
Qiao Xiu directly passed through the projection in front of him and came to the front of the two sublime masters and masters who were confused.
"I guess you must think that I want to continue hiring your sublime as 'soldiers' in the world of consciousness to fight those outsiders?"
"Is it not?"
The reason why female phantoms reject the world tree of high elves is because the consciousness space of the world tree is too close to that world.
"Wrong! I want to invite you to come to the consciousness space of the World Tree to be an architect, a weapon maker... There are many ways to call it, but in short, it is the logistics staff located in the rear."
Qiao Xiu tried his best to describe it in words that the two phantoms could understand.
"Weapons, we can indeed create many weapons in an instant in the space of consciousness, but the person who takes it to the battlefield..."
"The person who takes it to the battlefield will be every user of the magic net in the world, more accurately called 'player'!"
Joshua has confirmed with movies that as long as the "phantom products" that are widely recognized by everyone can appear in the world of consciousness.
This time Joshua will try to construct a real virtual world.
