"Have you... ever looked up at the stars at night?" Xia Fan asked slowly after a moment of silence.
Faced with this impossible problem, Chu Pu was a little confused for a while.
However, she still answered truthfully, "Of course, there are spells closely related to celestial phenomena in alchemy. Although I am not good at it, I have studied it a bit."
"What if I told you that these stars are fake?"
"What did you say?" Chu Pu couldn't help but be stunned, "Fake?"
"Not just the stars, but the sun, the moon - or in a sense, you've never seen real day and night, or the real sky."
Is he...are you kidding me
Chu Pu stared into his eyes, trying to identify Xia Fan's thoughts.
If it were anyone else, she would have regarded this comment as a joke and walked away. She would do this even on days in the morning, such as when the subject was brought up during the initial meeting. But after traveling underground, Chu Pu found that she could no longer ignore any of this man's words.
Even if it sounds so ridiculous.
No, Yu Heng’s heart skipped a beat. The point was not whether what he said was true, but—
"How did you determine whether it was true or false?"
"Because I've seen it before." Xia Fan replied briefly.
What surprised Chu Pu was that she couldn't hear any guilt in this sentence.
"Can you let me meet you too?" In this case, she decided to go straight to the point.
The latter rejected her, "Unless you can pass the examination of the Secretariat and become one of us. Otherwise, the more you know about this matter, the more dangerous you will be."
Danger
Where does the danger come from
Maybe this statement is just a cover, and the other party just doesn't want to let the secrets leak too much. Chu Pu thought for a while, "If what you said is true, then aren't we living in a false world? But past experience has proved that the changes between night and day are real. For example, evil spirits always appear in the middle of the night. The activities are more frequent, it can’t be fake, right? Unless... "
At this point she was suddenly startled.
Then a strong fear came over her, making her shiver involuntarily.
If the observations themselves are false, can the conclusion still be correct
It's like locking a prisoner in a dark dungeon, lighting candles at regular intervals and bringing in food. The prisoners will naturally associate the candles with food. But in fact, the two can not appear at the same time, or poison or sword can be sent at the moment of lighting the candle.
In the same way, if something deliberately makes evil spirits active for a period of time, and then makes that period of time at night...
"Sheep." Chu Pu finally muttered two words.
"I'm not sure, but the acuity of your thinking surprised me." Xia Fan clapped his hands gently, "Since you can think of this, I should not need to answer the previous question - what will you do after unification? No matter what Nothing we do will be a celebration of victory, and mankind will never rest in peace."
"The Seven Star Privy Council has never looked outside..."
Yu Hengzhi could not help but think of these words in his mind.
If Xia Fan's exploration of the world has really reached this point, then it is completely reasonable for him to say this condescendingly. Qixing is not even qualified to refute.
"I have benefited a lot from your explanation of my doubts." Chu Pu cupped his hands and said, "I hope I can see the real starry sky one day."
Xia Fan raised his hand in return, "It's you, is it okay to go back like this?"
"I don't know what you mean..."
"Seven Star Senior Management." He paused, "Although you are the Yuheng Envoy, will others readily accept your personal decision? Sometimes, a sword thrust from the inside hurts more."
Chu Pu chuckled, "Are you worried about my personal safety? I was chosen as the successor of the Yuheng Envoy not because of anything else, but because of my pure ability. The Privy Council can definitely call it fair on this point. Of course. , there will definitely be opponents internally, but I will convince them."
Compared to being immature in diplomacy, she was full of confidence when mentioning this.
Therefore, Xia Fan did not say any more, "I will write another letter and you give it to His Majesty on the front line, and the war will be over."
Chu Pu nodded and stood up to leave. But when she reached the door, she stopped again.
"Well... I once drank a drink when I was underground, which was like medicine and tea..." Yu Heng envoy paused for a moment, "I heard from Gong Shufeng that it was brewed with a mixed powder. This kind of drink Powder, can you give me some?"
As long as she takes a sip, the incredible and magnificent scenery will appear in her mind.
The unknown is always the best reward for an alien.
"No problem." Xia Fan nodded.
…
After the Yuheng envoy left, he got up and went to the study in the back room, where Taksis and Momola were waiting for him.
Judging from the expressions of the two of them, they obviously heard the conversation.
"Is this what you didn't want to talk about in detail in your letter?" Taksis. Yongyi said seriously, "Really or not? This is not a trivial matter!"
Xia Fan called them over, one purpose was not to explain it twice, "If it is false, then I will feel a lot more relaxed."
"Can you tell me more about it?"
"Of course, it's time to let you know the true face of the world." Xia Fan sat down across from the two of them and gave an overview of the situation in the shelter. This was not an easy topic, so he did not talk about it on the day he met the other person. As a close person whom he had not seen for a long time, the first day was naturally spent with the theme of banquet and reminiscing about old times. At the same time, he also needs to understand the situation on the West Pole so that Sicon can plan the next move.
After listening, the two fell into a long silence.
After a while, Taxis took the lead and said, "So the boundary of the sea is actually the boundary wall of this huge man-made shelter, and the cold and dark area outside that is the original appearance of the world?"
Compared with a few years ago, Dragon Girl's appearance has not changed much, but her demeanor has become more calm. Even such shocking news did not waver her tone.
The war against the Mage Tower and the revitalization of the Church of Hera undoubtedly made her grow a lot.
"Have you ever been outside the border waters?" Xia Fan asked unexpectedly.
"That's not true." Taxis shook her head, "I have more contact with Princess Muye, and I also heard from her that someone in Nata Ting once broke the seal of the border. It's a pity that none of these people are alive. The whereabouts of Duke Aurora, the only one who came down with knowledge, are unknown.”
"I've heard about this too." Momola shook her ears, her expression obviously much lower than that of Taksis, "At that time, everyone either thought it was the evil man's lair, or they thought it was a scam. I didn’t expect it to be true, and it’s more real than the world we live in—if it hadn’t come from you, I wouldn’t have believed it…”
