Chapter 404 Gold Ring

When Lu Mingfei opened his eyes, the value that had plummeted suddenly rebounded.

He stared at the meteorite above for a long time, and finally figured out the true purpose of this little thing.

"If we search with all our strength, how many meteorites like this can we find?" Lu Mingfei looked at Deputy Minister Karl.

The latter was stunned for a moment, looking like a fool. However, considering that this person was the school director, the main source of funds for Kassel College, and one of the big financiers of the equipment department, he still tried his best to speak softly: "Road School." Dong, you are overthinking. We did not even know that this kind of substance existed before. This is simply the cornerstone of overturning the dragon power system. It is difficult for us to imagine that Ouroboros who sent us the letter has done enough research on it. To what extent, her generosity is definitely based on enough confidence. I know you are very strong, but I suggest you not to underestimate the enemy, because this kind of power is a subversion of the dragon power system."

"Even if we mobilize the entire secret party, will it be difficult to find it?" Lu Mingfei asked with some regret as he was noncommittal about the subsequent evaluation.

"The key point is identification. We don't have the means to effectively identify this kind of meteorite, which is to find a needle in a haystack. How should we launch a reward and reward the stone?

Or let the commissioners release the word spirit in various places around the world. As long as it cannot be released, it means that it exists within 500 meters around? "

Deputy Minister Karl said patiently,

"My personal suggestion is that if you have a lot of money recently, you might as well lend us some to support scientific research and development. Our recent experiments have been a bit burnt by money, and we also have many projects that have been postponed indefinitely due to lack of funds. I think you can Consider, for example, a simulated girlfriend, who is considerate, obedient and safe, and can effectively reduce the proportion of singles in the world..."

Lu Mingfei's thoughts drifted away after Deputy Minister Karl presented the cruel facts.

He roughly saw through the nature of these meteorites.

The conclusion drawn by the Equipment Department based on the data given by Ouroboros is that the most critical thing is that "truth and falsehood are interdependent."

The world is real, and lies are rooted in truth. The existence of the latter requires a reliable "anchor" to ensure its true existence.

Deputy Minister Karl put forward a very interesting hypothesis - dragons are idealistic and human beings are materialistic. The idealistic world requires an observer to determine its true existence, and this observer must be a real existence and is not affected by idealism. Interfering.

In Deputy Minister Carl's hypothesis, humans who cannot interfere with reality mentally are the observers of this world.

But here, Lu Mingfei sees further than the Equipment Department. This does not mean that he is smarter than all the researchers in the Equipment Department put together. It is purely because he stands in a place beyond the Equipment Department's reach and has an innate perspective. It was determined that what he saw was beyond the reach of the equipment department in his lifetime.

He has been thinking about several connected questions. If all elements originate from the elemental sea, then where does the elemental sea come from, what is it made of, and who is supporting this illusory sea to maintain the five elements? A solar era.

The total amount of elements in the world remains unchanged, but this does not mean that the elemental sea will not "attenuate".

The calamity of the cycle itself means the "restart" of the elemental sea itself.

Just like a system that has been maintained for too long, it needs regular updates and regular maintenance.

Lu Mingfei, or their big brother, had already understood the nature of the cyclical calamity.

——When the interference of the elemental sea in the real world reaches a certain threshold, the distorted rules of reality will bite back the elemental sea all at once. Naturally, the former will not sit still and wait for death, and the path it chooses is to return to the original.

Norns said that the world has gone through four solar periods, and this is the fifth and last one, but maybe... the world is actually a continuous cycle, and the only difference is the creatures living on it.

And what counts as interference?

Yan Ling.

alchemy.

Everything that involves the fluctuation and operation of elemental power means the interference of the elemental sea in the real world.

When this interference accumulates to a certain extent, the rules of the world will backfire on the elemental sea.

The Equipment Department said that the energy required to shorten or extend the timeline is simply not something that an individual human being can carry. That is because they have ignored a problem. Sometimes it may not be us who pay the price.

Everything in this world requires a corresponding price. The difference lies in whether you pay the price or whether someone else pays for you.

Just like you bought a house easily after graduating from college, without having to run around day and night for the mortgage loan. It seems easy and stress-free, but the money for this house was saved by your parents after 20 years of hard work.

Just like the price of twisting the rules is never paid by the user, but by the elemental sea.

There is almost no loss in the spirit of speech. This loss refers to the price the user pays compared to the power obtained.

The cost of Principal Ange's use of Time Zero is nothing more than physical exhaustion and mental dizziness. Compared with this power, is this a price?

Far from it.

Because the main cost is borne by the elemental sea.

There is never free power in this world. In the end, the world just repays it on their behalf.

It was this weight that made him guess Frisis's plan.

Frixis created four monarch-level World-Destroying Word Spirits precisely to delay the outbreak of disasters. Normally, the interference of World-Destroying Word Spirits in the rules of the world would greatly accelerate the outbreak of cyclical catastrophes, but the problem is that The elemental sea in this life has been forced by someone to start flowing back.

Its path forward was blocked by a certain figure. When it could no longer move forward, it chose to turn back.

It needs to return to its heyday, then carry the torrent down, break down the obstacles in front of the road, and enter the next cycle.

No... there may not be another cycle.

Lu Mingfei was silent. The torrent carrying the momentum would destroy everything, but they would not give in and would inevitably be blocked in front again...

He took a deep breath. They had roughly figured out the nature of the cyclic tribulation, and now they also had a vague glimpse of the nature of the elemental sea that had been maintained over the years.

If the elemental sea is the fictional tide in the story of the oyster and the sea, then who is the oyster that supports this illusion? In the words of the equipment department, it is the anchor point, the most important observer——

They are all the creatures that resonate with the elemental sea and receive feedback. They are dragons and hybrids, and they are existences like Norns and priests.

Together, they provided the foundation for the true existence of the Elemental Sea and became the anchor for the Elemental Sea to anchor itself. At the same time, their behavior of wantonly distorting the underlying rules of the world also planted the "cause" for the destruction of the world in the future.

The elemental sea exists because of them, and it also suffers the backlash of the world's rules because of them. Everything is like a cycle, or reincarnation.

Of course, there may be some discrepancies that they cannot sort out yet.

For example, who created the elemental sea at the beginning, and where did the starting point of this cycle come from?

Another example is who created the cornerstones that anchor the elemental sea in every century?

Norns once mentioned this, that the creatures in each solar era are different, as if the Creator is creating the most perfect species.

But these issues can be put aside for a moment in the face of certain crises that are very close at hand.

They must find a way to deal with the backflow and overturning of the elemental sea.

At first, Lu Mingfei had no clue and only placed his hope on Big Brother. But now that he understood the principle of meteorites, he suddenly had some ideas.

But the implementation of this idea cannot be achieved with just one or two meteorites. They need more "materials".

He now wants to meet the woman named Ouroboros.

As Deputy Minister Karl said, the reason why she dared to throw certain information to the Equipment Department so straightforwardly must be due to her self-confidence. Her research on these meteorites far surpassed that of the Secret Party, and no one knew that she had mastered it. What kind of knowledge and power he had acquired, and what kind of preparations he had made. Lu Mingfei wanted to see all of this guy's achievements, and even more wanted to know how many meteorites were in her little vault.

"Starting from tomorrow, Hui Liyi will come over to cooperate with you in conducting an experiment." Lu Mingfei said lightly, "Hui Liyi's spiritual power is superior to that of the first generation species. She can suppress this meteorite to a certain extent. She will To cooperate with you in continuing to analyze this meteorite, I would like to know whether human beings’ technological level can reproduce it.”

"Reproduction?"

Deputy Minister Karl thought to himself that this road school director is really determined to give up. He can't find it and just reproduce it manually?

"This is something that the power of the dragon clan cannot do. Maybe human technology can do it." Lu Mingfei glanced at him, "Please prove to us that human technology is the strongest."

Deputy Minister Karl was stunned for a moment and pressed his hand on his heart. Why was he feeling inexplicably excited?

Was he persuaded?

But they were able to do things that even the dragons couldn't do. Doesn't this mean...

"I wonder how much money the school board has decided to invest?" Deputy Minister Karl said sincerely.

Lu Mingfei patted him on the shoulder and said equally sincerely: "You can invest as much as you want. The reason is very simple. The world is about to be destroyed. What do you need money for? Don't mention money to me. It's too vulgar."

Before Vice Minister Karl could express his sincere feelings about how school manager Lu really had the temperament of a nouveau riche, the cell phone in Lu Mingfei's pocket suddenly rang.

"Road Commissioner? This is Team A.3 of the Executive Department. I am Commissioner Kama. We have arrived at Professor Saka's hometown, but unfortunately, there was a fire here not long ago and everything was burned to ashes. We found no useful traces and the mission failed."

After the call was connected, a steady male voice came from the other side.

Lu Mingfei was not surprised at all after hearing this. It seemed that Frisis was as careful as ever in his work, leaving no trace behind.

"I understand, the mission is cancelled, you can come back."

"Received, we will return to the nearest branch next. If necessary, you can entrust EVA to send us a task."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Mingfei frowned.

The huge white dragon corpse lying on the sea water in the mouth of the senior sister was another of his final preparations.

They had issued a war order to all dragon clans in order to find this white dragon corpse. This matter was initially handed over to Frixis.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei and Deputy Minister Karl asked for a quiet room.

He closed his eyes and walked into the bronze temple deep in his heart.

The first thing he saw when he walked into the temple was not the man at the end, but the wind chime above his head that had been made and hung by Smith himself.

These wind chimes are not real objects, but they are reproduced in this world in detail with someone's presence.

The wind chimes were not shaking, and naturally there was no clear and refreshing sound. It seemed that the owner here did not welcome him.

But Lu Mingfei welcomed himself because no one welcomed him, and brought up the flowing wind in the temple. The bronze wind chime suddenly swayed slightly, breaking the dead silence of the temple.

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, Lu Mingfei climbed up the steps and came to the throne.

The man on the throne closed his eyes and fell asleep, as if he was completely unaware of his arrival, or maybe he knew about it but was not prepared to pay attention.

Lu Mingfei sat on it unceremoniously. The throne was big enough to fit two people's butts.

Lu Mingfei squeezed his butt, pushed Big Brother to the side, and then leaned against the cold and hard throne.

After he experienced it for a few seconds, he said disgustedly: "This thing is so annoying, it's a shame you can sit there for so long."

The man ignored him.

"If we find the white dragon corpse, how sure are you? In other words, what does it mean to us?" Lu Mingfei tried to talk, "Our disobedient brother seems to be planning to carry it alone this time. , you didn’t say anything? This thing is not something he can handle. "

Big Brother slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this guy still cared about the little devil.

Big Brother glanced at the guys crowding around him, and gave two words with as much preciousness as gold——

"Go down."

Lu Mingfei sneered and squeezed towards the big brother again.

"If I don't get an answer today, I won't leave!"

…

…

"Is this the keel of Hasay Lain?"

Ouroboros looked at the keel brought back by Frisis with great interest, and asked seemingly casually,

"We already know that the Nibelungen ruins you have been looking for are roughly hidden in Northern Siberia. When are you going to look for it?"

Frisis said coldly: "It's far more difficult to enter than Avalon, and I can't find a way to enter for the time being."

"Aren't you afraid that the Black King, whose authority you usurped, will be one step ahead of you?"

"He can't find it either." Frisis said without hesitation, "You don't need to worry about this matter. Just monitor Avalon."

Ouroboros said with a half-smile: "You don't seem to be afraid of Nidhogg's revenge at all?"

"Both Smith and Hassey had a premonition of my coming, but they did not choose to escape." Frisis said calmly, "I am the same as them, we are not even afraid of death, what else is left in this world that can make us fear?"

"Aren't you even afraid of death? Not necessarily."

"Whether you believe it or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me." Frisis looked at the big screen, "Wuni, how far we are from 80% progress."

"After fully analyzing Hase Rhine, we are still short of 6% from 80%."

Frisis was silent for a while: "Can you still find the other members of the Presbyterian Church?"

"They have completely hidden themselves and cut off contact with the outside world. We will not be able to find the next member in a short period of time."

This time, Frisis remained silent for a longer time, his pupils deep and dark.

"Then... we won't wait any longer." He whispered, "After fully analyzing Hasai Lain, we will set off for Avalon. I want to get the ring first."
