"Different from the four elements of water, fire, wind and earth, the light element, together with the dark element, is called an imaginary element, a conceptual element, and a belief element in this world. Do you know why this is?"
Faced with Yalin's question, Yuehai shook his head and expressed that he was completely ignorant.
Tohsaka Rin showed off his skills and answered: "Because the four elements do exist in this world and appear in people's daily lives at any time, but light and darkness are different. Ordinary people cannot observe them at all. No experiments have shown the exact form in which these two elements exist."
Obviously, Miss Tohsaka, who is a magician herself, has studied under Medea for a long time, and has read various magic books in other worlds, knows more than Tsukiumi, who lacks knowledge. Looking at Rin's very 'kind' smile, a tic-tac-toe suddenly appeared on Yuehai's forehead. However, after being given a violent shock by Yalin before, Yuehai was not able to compete with Rin this time.
Yalin nodded noncommittally: "You're right, the four major elements do exist in this world, and the two elements of light and darkness were originally formed from the world's fear and admiration for the unknown realm. Like the rising and setting of the sun, the exchange of day and night, the world slowly began to believe in the so-called light and darkness, and eventually it gradually turned from a vague concept into a belief and finally became an imaginary element. "
"That is to say, these two elements do not exist in themselves, but the world believes that they exist, so they have transformed from nothingness into reality through the world's belief, right." Yue Hai held the pair of magnificent and plump nannan in front of her chest with both hands. Nan said.
Yuehai, who was usually not interested in some magic knowledge, was listening to Yalin's explanation attentively.
"┉That's right." Yalin was silent for a moment and then nodded: "These two elements did not originally exist in this world. Even the golden dragon, known as the Wings of Light, was actually initially good at manipulating flames rather than the so-called of light.”
Miss Tohsaka, who remained silent on the side, said with some sigh: "Things that do not exist are turned into existence through faith, and some are like humans worshiping gods."
"That's true┉┉"
Yalin thought for a moment and finally curled his lips and said, "Why don't I give you some things that are not recorded in books and documents while you are resting now."
"Ha~ Senior, do you know any secrets?"
"I know a lot, do you want to hear it?"
"No problem, Mr. Yalin, I'm always here to listen."
Seeing that both girls seemed interested, Yalin looked at the light ball in his hand and slowly said: "As mentioned before, the two elements of light and dark are non-existent overhead elements. If you want to describe it, The four elements are the cornerstone of this world. Each element has its own elemental spirit world, and the elements themselves will devour each other and merge with each other to form elemental creatures. Well~ Rin, can you summon elemental creatures now? "
Rin, who was suddenly asked, smiled in embarrassment: "Haha┉┉This doesn't seem to be enough┉┉I have seen other elf mages summon elemental creatures."
"Is this the elemental creature Yalin Junru mentioned?"
The water flowed through Yuehai's hands and condensed together to form a rabbit made of water. The water rabbit jumped and spun around on the table under Yuehai's control. Miss Tohsaka on the side was stunned. At this time, Tsukiumi showed an expression that seemed to be asking, "Can you do that?" This time, Rin had veins bulging on his forehead.
"Yuehai! The elemental creatures you created are not called elemental creatures, they are called puppets. Elemental creatures are creatures with a certain degree of self-awareness. The more powerful the elemental creature, the clearer its self-awareness, just like the elemental lord I summoned before. Although it You are controlled by my power, but Rin, you should be able to clearly feel that sense of self when fighting the elemental lord."
Miss Tohsaka nodded and replied affirmatively: "How could you not feel the murderous intention that wants to tear me into pieces? If you hadn't been there, senior, to help suppress it, I might have been killed long ago. Bar."
Hearing this, Tsukiumi sighed and removed the water bunny he had made.
"Light and darkness cannot give birth to elemental creatures without self-awareness, and there is no spirit world representing these two elements in the elemental spirit world."
Yalin gradually talked about some unknown hidden aspects of this world: "Although there is no elemental spiritual world, the two elements of light and darkness have power beyond the four elements in the world's powerful beliefs, allowing anyone to Magicians who manipulate these two elements have stronger power than other mages, but precisely because the two elements have no self-awareness, mages who can sense and use these two elements are extremely rare. Each element needs to be given to its believers by the hands of gods for use.”
"Wait a minute┉┉Senior, I have a question." Rin suddenly made a pause gesture and said: "According to what you said, four of the so-called five supreme gods in the Holy City represent the four elements respectively. And the moon Doesn’t the goddess represent the dark element?”
"You are right! The main reason why the goddess who originally represented the dark element was renamed the Moon Goddess is the prejudice of mortals. In most people's minds, darkness represents evil, death, filth and other negative names. If it is directly dark, If you call it the God of Darkness or the Goddess of Darkness┉┉"
"No one would believe in such a god that sounds scary at first sight." Rin sighed helplessly after hearing this.
But suddenly Rin thought of something. The five supreme gods of the Holy City each represent five of the six elements. So who is the god of the light element represented by the last one
Regarding this question, Yalin showed a meaningful smile: "This is a good question~ And you should have read about the god who represents the light element in the literature. Who is the Holy See in the eastern part of the continent? The goddess whom the world calls the only 'Lord' in the world is a deity who was born out of the elemental light as the cornerstone of belief."
Among the gods representing the six elements, one of them became the god worshiped by another religious force. Moreover, he was able to compete against the other five gods with his own power. For a time, the curiosity of both Miss Tohsaka and Tsukiumi was completely aroused. Under the influence of gossip psychology, the two of them wanted to know what was going on. For some reason, the six gods who were supposed to be one body split apart.
However, Yalin didn't want to continue talking: "Okay~ I don't know when I will finish this. Now that I have had enough rest, let's continue practicing."
After the death of the gods of the second generation, there were only beings known as the Six Pillar Gods in this world. But now one of the six pillars supporting the world has chosen to part ways with its companions, which has led to today's situation. It was also because of the dragon war, but in the end Ishtar chose to side with the humans who lit the fuse of the war.
He became the god believed by thousands of people in the eastern part of the continent and spread the concept of human supremacy as a doctrine. What did Ishtar, as a light, see after that war
Yalin doesn't know and has no time to study why. At least the confrontation between the five supreme gods and Ishtar can more or less restrain each other's energy. As the city of Ulduar is caught between existence and existence, how can it survive in the world? Surviving the gap between the two parties is Yalin's top priority.
Seeing the two girls practicing attentively, Yalin opened the system again and browsed quietly. In addition to summoning characters, the system also had many functions. For example, the map function allowed Yalin to do it without using mental power. A bird's-eye view of the entire city of Ulduar, as well as the entire nearby mountains and foggy forest, can also be seen very clearly. I once recorded the images in the system and made a 3D map. Whether it was basic planning or military construction, this extremely detailed map brought great help to the city of Ulduar.
Except for the red marks on the map that indicate places that have not been visited yet, yellow means that the ruins are being cleared, blue means that they are being rebuilt, and green means that the rebuilding is complete.
In the lower district of the city, Yalin can already see a city that is beginning to take shape. Pedestrians on the streets are hiding more and more day by day. Most of them are human beings. Because supplies are not yet abundant, shops are still very sparse. , many people will take the distributed currency to the designated shopping mall to buy food and daily necessities after work. This reminds Yalin of his original country in the 1960s and 1970s. Of course, compared with the one he has in his hands now It can be said that this small town with a population of just over 5,000 is not even as good as that difficult period.
Although all kinds of goods are not abundant, the good thing is that most of the people here are slaves and don't mind. After all, the things provided now have no impact on basic life. On the contrary, as slaves, you can regain your freedom. Compared with giving Material gifts such as food and clothing are more valuable to these people than the spiritual dignity given to them.
Although the city is mainly populated by humans, you can still occasionally see tauren patrolling the streets as guards. These 'really tall' tauren can indeed form a great threat to any criminals. Of course, no crime has occurred in the city yet. After all, everyone has just been freed from slavery. The servility of obedience is still engraved in their souls and cannot be dissipated in a short time. Everyone is adhering to their efforts. at work.
Of course, this good phenomenon cannot last forever. When time goes by and supplies become abundant, and when people's inner desires suppressed by whips revive, various crimes will follow.
Building a utopian society is just a fantasy!
Perhaps many of my friends dream of building a perfect and gentle world. Although Yalin also wants to turn his country into a paradise, Yalin is not an innocent child of two or three years old. On the contrary, some people will surely grow up in the future. What will happen, it is best to take precautions now. (~^~)
