Chapter 285 The Secret of the World
Chapter 285 The Secret of the World
Hearing Fang Wenlong's words, Russell couldn't help but stand there in a daze.
First of all, he was surprised that the master card maker didn't know the information about [World Devouring **].
The second is
"Master Fang actually knows who is on the other end of the phone?"
Russell was really a little surprised about this.
However, Fang Wenlong and Ji Weirui's expressions were not very good at this time.
The two looked at each other and said slowly: "Since you have already been in contact with Xiao Luo, I am sure that this kind of thing cannot be hidden from you."
"I just hope you won't go out and spread the word after listening to it."
Hearing this, Russell was startled, knowing that it was time to confirm his guess.
Fang Wenlong was silent for a moment, and then he asked seriously, "Xiao Luo."
"How do you think the mysterious space appeared?"
“Will He be conscious?”
Hearing Fang Wenlong's question, Russell quickly searched his mind.
As for the latter question, he already had the answer in his mind, but for the former question.
After searching through all his memories, he only found an inconspicuous sentence in the book when he first started the card-making course.
"With the first material brought back by Lu Sheng, the first card maker of the Ming Dynasty, the era of card makers began in the Ming Dynasty. From then on, everyone could enter the mysterious space to make cards."
Other than that, no more.
Even this sentence does not actually explain the origin of the mysterious space.
However, Fang Wenlong did not hope to get an answer from Russell, but continued to speak: "Xiao Luo, you have been a card maker for quite some time, and you have also come into contact with the original history of many secret realms."
"Especially this time in the secret realm of Great Britain. You should know that the so-called secret realm was originally a complete world just like ours."
"But have you ever thought that those secret realms may have also tried to save themselves, but ultimately failed."
Russell had certainly thought about it, and even the two materials dropped by Gulan had revealed the truth about their secret realm.
[The User of the Holy Sword of Destiny], [The Blade of Salvation].
Combined with the fact that Gulan was supposed to be at the top level in terms of strength, there was no doubt that he was the one who attempted self-rescue when the world was on the verge of destruction.
But obviously, it failed.
Russell nodded and asked, "So Master Fang, you mean that the mysterious space is the self-rescue action that our world is trying to take?"
Hearing this, Fang Wenlong affirmed his words: "That's right, and judging from the results, it can be considered a success."
However, the middle-aged man with gray hair did not show joy on his face, but was full of bitterness.
Success is only relative to those worlds that have become secret realms.
They still haven't gotten rid of the threat of [World Devourer].
Fang Wenlong continued, "Xiao Luo, you have only become a card maker in the past two years, so you don't have any personal experience."
“But for old guys like us.”
"The difficulty of making cards has been reduced a lot in the past two years. In the past, a slight ambiguity in making a card could lead to failure."
"But it's different now. His judgment criteria have been relaxed a lot for those of us who still have some talent."
As an old guy, Fang Wenlong recalled the days when he first became a card maker.
At that time, every time making a card was like a gamble. You had no idea what kind of mistakes might occur and lead to the failure of making the card.
Talented card makers can learn from their mistakes and avoid making the same mistakes again.
As for those without talent
It's just like Tudou wrote "Fights Break Sphere" at the age of 19, and Lemon Black Oolong is still writing "Anime Card Making" at an old age.
Russell was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Master Fang, can you also find out the upper limit when making cards?"
He thought about what happened to him in the mysterious space.
At this time, Russell also figured out why there were so many great tomorrows in the past two years.
You have to know that when he participated in the national competition, there were quite a few talented people of the same age as him.
Even the final match against An Jin was not easy for him to win.
Now it seems that the reason is that the judgment on card making in the mysterious space has been relaxed.
However, Fang Wenlong's expression became strange after hearing Russell's words, and then he looked at him deeply: "Xiao Luo, we just made a lenient judgment, but we don't know what the upper limit of each card is."
"Don't say this kind of nonsense anymore."
Ji Weirui, who was standing beside him, smiled gently and echoed, "If outsiders heard this, they would think that all the geniuses in our Ming Dynasty are crazy."
Russell was not a fool, and of course he immediately realized that his situation was probably different from that of the two master card makers in front of him.
The reason why they said this was just to warn themselves not to talk nonsense outside, so as to avoid attracting the covetousness of those who have ulterior motives.
He immediately laughed and said, "I was just joking, Masters, don't take it seriously."
Seeing that Russell understood what they meant, Fang Wenlong shook his head and continued, "Xiao Luo, you must think that the loose judgment of the mysterious space is a good thing, but have you ever thought about the cost?"
"Why didn't He set more lenient conditions from the beginning?"
There is naturally no free lunch in the world, and all gifts have been secretly marked with a price.
If there is no payment prompt yet, it is either not the time yet or someone has already paid for you.
Russell certainly understood such a simple truth, but he just didn't figure out what the price was for a while.
As if she could see the young man's nervousness, Ji Weirui comforted him softly, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Luo. We don't need to pay a price."
As she finished speaking, Fang Wenlong's voice rang out: "According to our speculation, the price should be those secret realms that have been cleared. He will absorb the remaining power in them."
"Xiao Luo, don't you realize that those secret realms will eventually disappear without the intervention of external forces?"
Russell was stunned when he heard this. He originally thought that it was a natural phenomenon that those secret realms would disappear after the clearing. He never expected that they were actually drained by the mysterious space.
At this moment, some doubts arose in his heart.
Because in his opinion, everything Fang Wenlong said so far seemed to be good news, so there was no need for him to have such an expression.
Just as he was thinking this, the other party's next words exploded in his heart like thunder: "The world is conscious."
“Mysterious space is the world’s act of self-salvation.”
"This is something that every card maker can vaguely feel after reaching the master level."
"Even master card makers like us can feel the existence of world consciousness."
At this moment, Russell's long-standing doubts were finally answered.
He also knows who the so-called superior is in the feature of [Superior's Attention].
However, before he could say anything, Fang Wenlong continued, "But these are not the main points."
"The key point is that at the beginning, in the induction of us masters, the state of world consciousness has been very stable."
"It wasn't until the last two years that He suddenly started to become active."
"even."
Fang Wenlong paused, then said word by word: "Sometimes I will personally take action."
At this time, Russell finally realized what the two master card makers wanted to express.
Perhaps for a human being, being active in daily life represents vigorous vitality. But for a world...
This is obviously not a good sign.
What's more, the world is facing the danger of extinction.
Just like a hibernating bear, there are only two situations in which it will wake up: either it wakes up from hunger or...
An uninvited guest broke into the place where it was hibernating, forcing it to wake up from hibernation and drive the other guest away.
As he thought about it, Russell couldn't help feeling a little confused.
After all, their own boss has already taken action himself, and the big boss on the other side hasn't even shown his shadow yet.
Fortunately, Fang Wenlong finally said some good news: "But if what you said is true, Xiao Luo, then the situation should get better next time."
Although he didn't know what the sphere that the young man was talking about was, Fang Wenlong felt that something that could cause the world consciousness to appear in person must be a vital item.
Russell also thought of the item that Gulan gave to his boss, but he didn't know what it was.
The room fell into silence.
It was not until a long time later that Fang Wenlong calmed down and smiled slightly: "Okay, the main reason I called you here today is for this matter."
"It's just that what happened in this room today was spoken by me and heard by you. If possible, it's better not to let too many people know about it."
Hearing this, Russell nodded.
Of course he couldn't spread such a secret all over the streets.
He didn't even plan to tell Jinping, even though as a master card maker, the other party probably knew the situation this world was facing.
But speaking of Jinping, Russell has now roughly guessed what the old man is going to do.
When a boat is about to sink, there is actually another option besides repairing the boat or jumping onto another boat.
That is to rebuild a boat yourself.
Obviously, what Jinping is going to do is to get rid of the mysterious space. After all, all his strength so far is based on the card maker system.
Once he leaves the range of the mysterious space, he will absolutely not be able to create new cards.
After all, there are no secret realms and materials elsewhere.
This is also the reason why Jinping has been studying topics related to demonization.
No, it’s more like mystification than demonization.
After saying goodbye to Fang Wenlong and the others, Russell followed Zhang Jingxing, who had a stern face, out of the cabin.
Zhang Jingxing didn't expect to hear such a secret thing today: ". You are worthy of it."
"Little junior brother."
He felt that the reason he was not sent away was probably because of his identity.
Hearing his words, Russell curled his lips and said, "Big Brother, don't let Third Brother lead you astray."
"Having someone like him in the sect is already enough of a headache."
Compared to Russell, Zhang Jingxing knew more about his third junior brother, so he first showed an awkward smile on his face, and then calmly changed the subject: "What are your plans next, junior brother?"
"Do you need to rest for a while?"
"I can decide on your behalf and grant you a few days off."
In his opinion, the young man in front of him had finally returned to Ming Dynasty after going through untold hardships, and then immediately reported to the two masters. In addition, the other party had been carrying out high-intensity tasks before his disappearance. Even an iron man could not withstand such orders.
There hasn't been anything major happening in Jizhou Town in recent days, so it might be better to give him a few days off.
Facing Zhang Jingxing's question, Russell was not polite, but just nodded slightly: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother."
After saying goodbye to his senior brother, Russell returned to his residence alone.
However, when he opened the door, he found that Hu Tao and Amina were gone: ". Now I am really alone."
Russell sighed and closed the door helplessly.
After sitting on the sofa in silence for a while to digest the news he received today, he stood up again.
In the morning, Russell pulled his arm out of the whiteness.
To be honest, replenishing mana is indeed very tiring.
But when Russell thought about the expression on Altria's serious face, he felt it was worth it.
"Cute, I like it."
Russell opened the door and saw Amina peeking into his bedroom from the next room.
When she saw him, the little girl shrank back like a frightened rabbit.
Girls in Europe mature early, so Amina naturally knew what happened in the next room last night.
Russell coughed solemnly: "Cough"
"Remember to come down for breakfast."
After saying that, he fled from the scene, mainly because it was indeed a bit embarrassing.
Russell is not in Jizhou Town at the moment. After meeting Fang Wenlong and the other man that day, he returned to Nandu.
He is not stupid. Even though the Northern Defense Army gave him a holiday, he still stayed in Jizhou Town to cosplay as an old widower.
“It’s just that the holiday is almost over.”
Sitting at the dining table, Russell couldn't help but sigh.
He has only one day left of his vacation, and he must leave for Jizhou Town tomorrow.
After finishing breakfast, Russell prepared to go look for walnuts.
But before he even left the house, a tall figure had already appeared in his house.
"Senior sister." Seeing this, Russell
Kurumi nodded in response, then remained silent for a moment before whispering, "Going back tomorrow?"
Facing Kurumi's question, Russell's voice involuntarily weakened: "Yes."
As his voice fell, the room fell into silence.
After a long while, Hu Tao put the hair that fell on her face behind her ears and said, "Can I not go?"
In order to ease the weird atmosphere, Russell made a joke: "I need to eat, Senior Sister, otherwise you can support me."
However, Hu Tao's expression became serious at this time: "I will support you."
"?"
If it were before the time travel, if there was a beautiful, good-natured, super-rich woman willing to support him, Russell would have chosen to lie down long ago.
But the problem is that the situation on this blue planet is not stable right now, and he feels that his Emerald-level strength is far from enough.
Perhaps the emerald-grade material Walnut could barely support him, but what about the diamond-grade one?
What about the master level?
even
What about the palace level?
Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but sighed: "Senior Sister, I will be careful this time."
But at this moment, Hu Tao's next words made him freeze in place: "Someone."
"Forcing you?"
