More than a month has passed since that terrible man-made god turned into the food of sea monsters at the end of the Baishui River, and the grass on the grave of the Death of All Things is almost a hundred meters high...
This is quite realistic in every sense.
Beltira seems to have awakened, but she is undoubtedly no longer a normal human being—her body is fused with this huge tree, and has mutated from the inside to the outside, which affects her thinking and Language ability: When she speaks, a deep hoarse voice is mixed in her voice, her speech is very slow, and her expression is dull, which makes people think of plants.
Gawain looked at her, although the situation in front of him was a bit beyond his initial imagination, but he finally had the opportunity to have a direct conversation with this "old acquaintance": "This situation is regrettable, Beltira—what do you have? Want to tell me something?"
Bertila looked at Gawain quietly, and after two seconds of silence, he slowly said: "Outsider... wanderer. I want to talk to you in private."
Gao Wen frowned, and after thinking for a while, he ordered to his side: "You guys go to the outside of the hall to be vigilant. Amber, you go too."
"Are you sure?" Amber immediately opened her eyes wide, "This woman looks very weird now, maybe she has some kind of conspiracy..."
"If there is any conspiracy, I'm afraid she won't be able to use it with her current appearance," Gawain waved his hand, "Don't worry, I have my own measure—I'm curious what she wants to say."
Amber thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed, and led the people to retreat while agreeing: "Okay, be careful."
Soon, the soldiers in the hall retreated outside led by Amber, and Bud also left here. When only Gawain himself and a semi-vegetative Beltera were left on the scene, he coughed lightly twice. Voice: "Ahem, what do you have to say now."
It looked very calm, but in fact Gao Wen was still a little nervous—every time he met his "old acquaintance" seven hundred years ago, he would be cautious, because after all, he was occupying a body that did not belong to him, and The "old acquaintances" seven hundred years ago knew Gawain Cecil himself.
The first time he was nervous in this regard was when he saw Solderling, and then Sonia, but neither of them brought him too much pressure, after all, Solderling's character is not too meticulous , and Sonia's main energy was put on urging Soldering to get married, but Bertila in front of her was different—God knows that this woman who had carried a lot of secrets was aware that there was another woman in Gawain Cecil's body. What ideas come to mind after the soul...
Gao Wen was thinking quickly in his mind, but the moment Bertila spoke, his calculations stopped.
"who are you?"
Bertila stared closely at Gawain's eyes, her face was more serious than ever, and her tone was full of caution and coldness.
Gao Wen's vigilance was instantly raised, but the expression on his face remained unchanged: "What do you mean by that—you still don't recognize me?"
"... You don't need to spend too much time, I know you are not Gawain Cecil," Beltira still stared at him, "Outsider Wanderer... What exactly are you? Why do you occupy this body?"
She no longer used "who" to ask, but simply used "what".
After hearing a few words from the wanderer outside the territory, Gao Wen gave up the idea of continuing to use the identity of this body to communicate with the other party.
The Bertila in the dream should be only a small part of the subconscious of the Bertila in front of him, lacking the necessary memory and acquired wisdom, but it is not so easy for the Bertila in front of him to fool around. But it doesn't matter. It's fun to speak openly without having to think about your "role".
"Where did you hear the term 'Outlander Wanderer'?" he said casually. "The ones who sleep forever?"
"It seems that you are very aware of the name given to you by the Eternal Sleeper..." Bertila said in a low voice, "I knew your real body from them, but long before that, I knew that you couldn't be a tall man. Vin Cecil, but just an alien soul who stole his body."
Gao Wen raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean by that?"
There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Bertila's mouth: "It is impossible for Gawain Cecil to be resurrected, and I know this better than anyone else. His soul has long been exhausted, and what lies in the iron coffin in the southern border is just a soulless The body, maybe this body will not decay under the blessing of the elements, but resurrection from the dead... is absolutely impossible."
Gao Wen couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes.
This was the first time he had heard information about the secret of his resurrection from other people since he unraveled the coffin. Although it was only a few words, there was no doubt about it... the Bertila in front of him knew part of the truth! !
"The soul of Gawain Cecil is exhausted? Why do you say that? What do you know? Do you know the arrangement for his resurrection?"
However, Bertila didn't answer his question: "Ah, wanderer outside the territory... You are also curious, but why should I tell you everything?"
Gawain looked at Bertila quietly, seeing how confident he was, or how he had given up life and death - it would be useless even if he slashed at him with a sword.
After pondering for a moment, he opened his mouth to break the silence: "Then equivalent exchange—what do you want to know from me?"
"Wanderer outside the territory, that's the same question," Beltira said slowly, "Why do you occupy this body?"
Gao Wen thought about it seriously.
The other party obviously knew part of the information about wanderers outside the territory—this bluffing identity created by Gao Wen himself was passed to Bell after post-processing by the Eternal Sleeper brain supplement expert group, and a little fermentation on the Internet. What Tira heard should be a weirder and more dangerous version.
The best option now seems to be to find an entry point in this identity and keep the conversation going.
He lowered his head and thought about what kind of "persona" he should set up, and what kind of "persona" could shake Bertila, a druid whose belief had been distorted, his thoughts turned quickly.
This does not seem to be difficult, because... Although the identity of "outsider wanderer" is a bit bluffing, it cannot be said to be completely false.
He is indeed a soul wandering from another world, he has indeed occupied the body of others, he has indeed "descended" from the starry sky, and has carried out super-large-scale troubles in this world.
It's just that he didn't drive a giant robot to save the world like those mentioned in those cg short films, or lead a group of good brothers with fifty yuan to do interstellar deworming, and these details are not important at the moment.
In his calculations, he already had a mature draft.
"It seems that we 'travelers' have put a lot of pressure on you," he looked up with a relaxed and indifferent expression on his face, "I don't know how those eternal sleepers describe me and my group to you Yes, but I can assure you that I have no malice towards this world."
Bertila frowned, obviously listening to Gao Wen's words carefully, but also full of doubts.
"We are a group full of curiosity and action, and we also have a variety of behavior styles and hobbies, but as far as I am concerned..." Gawain continued, observing Bertila's expression and smiling slightly, "I'm just a little bit interested in your civilization. Or strictly speaking, it's your civilization this season."
Bertila really couldn't help but speak: "Our civilization this season—what do you mean by that?"
Maybe it's because she hasn't adapted to her new "body" after turning into a half-vegetable, and Bertila's control of her expression is always a bit negligent. The topic: "It seems that you also know that there has been a civilization change in your world?"
Bertila was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice: "...we did find some clues."
Just as Gao Wen expected, knowing part of the truth about the gods, knowing part of the rebellious plan, and even continuing the rebellious plan of the end of all things, has a certain understanding of the phenomenon of civilization alternation, destruction and rebirth that has occurred in this world .
"Alternation of civilizations... This is a long observation process," Gao Wen continued with a calm expression, "For a long time, I was just observing. From a very high place, you probably can't understand That perspective—I watched kingdoms emerge one after another on this land, heroes emerged one after another, legends were born one after another, wars, prosperity, prosperity, death, brilliance and then quickly extinguished... For millions of years, this land There is nothing new on the earth, and even if the giant dragon occasionally flies across the earth, it is just an insignificant episode in the boring observation.
"But I was pleasantly surprised that amidst all the ups and downs of civilization, there was one interesting spark that popped up... your season.
"It's not very strong, even flawed, but it has an amazing courage and tenacity to survive. When the tide came, I thought you would die soon, just like many seasons before. Civilizations fell quickly and quietly, accepting their fate, and yet you survived.
"Not only did you survive, but I was also surprised to find that... you actually tried to fight against a god who was countless times stronger than you, and you put it into action.
"For millions of years, this is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It's really a surprise, but besides the surprise, your civilization this season is in jeopardy... You are very courageous, but it is difficult to face the next challenge.
"Frankly, I thought it was a pity, so I came down."
Gawain finished speaking unhurriedly, and looked into Bertila's eyes with a smile, frankly.
After all, almost everything he said was the truth, with a little language processing based on the facts.
And those words should work very well for someone who has experienced distortions of belief.
The expression on Bertila's face changed several times. She opened her mouth several times but stopped several times. Finally, after a long silence, she finally spoke: "So, everything that happened on this land, Just a sideshow in your long life? So what are you 'Outlanders' essentially? Another god?"
"Don't get me wrong, 'Extraterrestrial Wanderer' is a name you gave up without authorization. I prefer to call myself a traveler, and a traveler takes every part of his journey seriously," Gawain continued to speak the truth , "As for the gods... To be honest, I am also quite curious about what the gods in your world are. Researching them is my most interesting work recently."
Bertila's expression didn't seem to change, but Gawain knew that every word he said was valid.
At the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of relief—some secrets had been hidden in his heart for too long, and today he had the opportunity to speak out under such unexpected circumstances. The ease after speaking was something he had never imagined.
Beltira knew from the very beginning that Gawain Cecil could not be resurrected. In front of her, Gawain could frankly admit that he was a foreign soul... Although he has now fully accepted the identity of Gawain Cecil, Even after accepting the inheritance of memory, he has become a real "Gavin Cecil" in a sense, but if there is such a chance that he can put aside this identity and speak, it feels quite good.
Bertila spoke again, she seemed to be finally influenced by Gawain's words, and believed in the motives of this "outer-territory wanderer" in front of her, and asked along the topic: "Why did you choose that Sebastian that has declined to the point of destruction? The Searle family, instead of a powerful force that is more convenient for you to develop your ambitions?"
The smile on the corner of Gao Wen's mouth froze for a moment.
Nonsense, he has no choice!
As long as he can do some operations when he gets off the satellite, he will definitely choose a normal difficulty start-as for getting into an iron coffin, when he climbs out, he has to be hit with a stick by an iron-headed stupid roe deer , and then when you get out of the grave, it is a hell mode of "your base has been stolen", "your resurrection is weak", "your shield has been ripped off", "and you played for nothing in the last version"!
But these words cannot come from the mouth of a powerful and mysterious "outlander".
So he could only maintain a decent and unpredictable smile, and frankly responded to Bertila's question:
"Because...it's more fulfilling."
