Another thing that needs to be passed by Raven 12345 is the four scrolls.

Hao Ren still remembered the series of visions caused by reading the things on the scroll in the forest, so he was careful when taking them out, although it seemed that they were not as harmful as the "cosmic debris" , but its weirdness is not the same. He put the scroll in front of Raven 12345, and talked about his previous experience: "... In the end, it caused a short-term celestial change. If I guessed correctly, this should be the distortion of the real world you sensed before. "

Raven 12345 also had an expression of interest when she saw the scrolls, and tapped her fingers on one of the scrolls: "The material is mundane substances—ordinary magic parchment and a laurel wood handle soaked in potions. That’s all, this thing was made by the Olympians, without a doubt, it’s not the ‘extraordinary material’ like the Excalibur and cosmic fragments.”

Hao Ren was stunned: "Then this thing has the power to distort reality..."

He didn't know how powerful the "Gods" of Olympus were back then, but he could tell from Hesperis' fighting style and some information about the demon hunter that this ancient alien family was just a certain magic The technological level of the remnants of civilization is maintained at the planetary level, and their understanding of natural forces is still very simple and crude. Such a civilization, it is difficult to believe that they have the technology to shake the rules of reality

However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized where the power of the scroll came from: from the things recorded on it.

"Thought it?" Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a smile, "How? Do you know more about these out-of-control extraordinary forces now?"

Hao Ren took a deep breath: "The 'King of the Ancients' and the 'Lord of Madness' mentioned above are the primordial chaos we discussed just now? The one mentioned above is probably the Goddess of Creation, right?"

Vivienne opened her eyes a little. When she heard Hao Ren recite the words on the scroll, she had already developed a strong curiosity about those babbled sentences, but what happened afterwards made her not think deeply about this issue. Going on, and now, where this question goes seems to be getting interesting.

As a divine blood creation created by the Goddess of Creation, she is now instinctively interested in all the secrets of the Goddess of Creation.

"Ninety-nine are inseparable," Raven 12345 affirmed Hao Ren's guess, "These scrolls are not special, what is special is what is recorded on them. These records have already involved some secrets deep in the universe, and extraordinary power has penetrated into them. The information carried in these words, even if only someone reads them, is enough to lead to the release of power."

Hao Ren was dumbfounded: "It's just some records... have this effect?"

"That's right," Raven 12345 blinked, "for some special beings, power can reside in everything, and this is not the patent of the true god. The difference between the true god and the false god is only a kind of The power of information disturbance that symbolizes power, which allows us to better control the rules of the world, but under this, within the scope of the rules of the universe, false gods can also exhibit powers similar to gods.' Lord of Madness 'It's something so close to the gods that its name and deeds are quite powerful. These scrolls... I don't know how the Olympians got this forbidden knowledge, but they recorded these materials, Then he brought the power of the crazy lord into this universe."

As he spoke, the corners of Raven 12345's mouth slightly turned up, revealing a smile: "However, it's unlucky for this thing. I am in charge of this universe, so it can mess around at will. This will only make it easier for us to understand its essence and weaknesses. .”

Vivian looked at the scroll in disbelief: "Wouldn't it be bad if such a dangerous power could be brought out so easily? If someone else copied this kind of scroll in large numbers...or talked about it everywhere, wouldn't it be so bad?" Is it over?"

"There is no need to worry, because this kind of 'power leakage' cannot be replicated. It is not the scroll or the words on the scroll that carry the power, but the 'truth' behind it," Raven 12345 shook his head, " This is hard to explain... All in all, only a person who really knows the truth, the cause and effect, and records his knowledge with his own hands, can a guy like the 'Lord of Madness' have the opportunity to spread his power outwards, and a person who has nothing Even if someone who knows it copies the scroll a thousand times, it will not cause any harm."

Hao Ren rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Oh, I see—in other words, only the person who knows the Lord of Madness from the beginning can make this kind of scroll, and the second person who learned this knowledge through the scroll is Can't copy it?"

Raven 12345 nodded slightly: "This is why there are many heretical churches preaching those distorted doctrines all day long, because they want to let more people know the 'gods' they worship, and only more and more people can understand those distorted teachings. Forbidden knowledge, the power of evil gods has the opportunity to spread. There is a general rule in this regard: the more you know about an evil god, the more you will become its power carrier. When your understanding of it reaches a certain level , you are eligible to become the next 'preacher', you can gain forbidden power by writing the name of the evil god and recording the deeds of the evil god, but in turn, you will be gradually eroded by this forbidden power and eventually swallowed by it. "

Hao Ren murmured subconsciously: "Could it be that the Olympians have secretly turned to the 'Lord of Madness'? Well, it seems wrong. According to the records on the scroll, they obviously regard the Lord of Madness as a dangerous factor. of."

"If my guess is correct, the Olympians should be believers of the Goddess of Creation, or at least stand on the opposite side of the Lord of Madness," Raven 12345 said, "They don't want to spread the Lord of Madness, but hope Record some truth. According to the first paragraph of the scroll, they regard the Lord of Madness as a disaster, and the gods who came after him as the savior who brought order. It's just that a world where mortals study gods is quite a Dangerous behavior, although they are very careful, and even use a variety of complex text encryption to prevent the power of the crazy lord from leaking out, but their contact with these forbidden knowledge is essentially a kind of 'learning', and they are more and more against it , become more and more its carrier... I think, even if there is no Ragnarok triggered by the witcher, these Olympus 'gods' will be swallowed up by the nightmare in their memory sooner or later."

Hao Ren frowned and looked at the scroll floating in front of him: "So the various characters and grammar it uses are not to prevent someone from deciphering them, but to prevent the power of the Lord of Crazy from seeping out through the scroll... But what are they? Where did you know these secrets? Even the guardians of the Goddess of Creation don’t know about the Lord of Madness, how did these Olympians know?”

"I don't know about that," Raven 12345 shrugged, "To be honest, I always felt that something was wrong with the guardians around the goddess of creation. They were the goddess' envoys and the eldest son of the god. A group of people who are close, but now it seems that the Goddess of Creation hides many things from her children, at least before the birth of these guardians, the Goddess of Creation did not tell them at all."

When it comes to this, not only Raven 12345 can't figure it out, but Hao Ren and Vivian have already suspected it. In any case, the guardian should be the most trustworthy for the goddess of creation. No matter how much that god has scruples, he should not shy away from his children. The Guardians are extremely trusting—and if so, why not tell them the truth

Is it just because of the reason that Raven 12345 once speculated: the Goddess of Creation did not dare to say the name of the Lord of Madness in her own mouth, in order to prevent that ancient demon from taking the opportunity to escape

"There may be answers to these questions in the scrolls." Raven 12345 snapped his fingers, and the four scrolls were shrouded in a ray of light, and slowly landed on the low table in front of Hao Ren. "Take it back and study it carefully. In addition, it also includes the cosmic debris just now, and these two things are handed over to you."

Although it was not the first time that the other party entrusted him with all these tasks, Hao Ren still felt a burst of curiosity at this time: "Just leave it to me? Why don't you look at it?"

Raven smiled slightly, and said something that seemed to have another meaning: "I'm watching—I just need to watch you."

Hao Ren looked thoughtful, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

After explaining these things, Hao Ren mentioned another thing: "Actually... After Hercules died, I came into contact with a very strange 'illusion'."

"Illusion?"

"Well, it seems to be a cosmic starry sky." Hao Ren nodded lightly, describing the hazy and distorted starry sky he saw to the other party, "... Finally I was ejected out of nowhere, it seemed to be a static place , didn't see any clues."

"Looking at your expression, you should have guessed about this illusion." Raven 12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes, "What do you think?"

Hao Ren didn't say anything, but just raised his hand, showing the "cosmic fragment" in his hand.

The fragments of the universe lie quietly in the palm of the hand, and the light of the stars moves on the dark background, like brilliant stars.

The corner of Raven 12345's mouth turned up: "Do you suspect that you saw the inside of this thing?"

"Not just seeing it, I suspect I've been in it once."
