Chapter 146 The voice in the sand
Sand kept pouring in from the big hole above his head, blowing in from the gaps in the logs, and soon filled half of the cell. Zhao Mai stood up, reached out to grab the exit above his head, and climbed up easily.
The huge wind immediately stumbled his body, and the sand in the strong wind kept hitting, as strong and powerful as the waves in the sea. Zhao Mai saw a sand-mounted lizard being swept into the sky by the wind, and the sand sealed its howl, and the boundless darkness followed it to swallow it. There is a saying that creatures swept away in the sandstorm could not survive, they were all sacrifices dedicated to the desert.
The desert is Atas, and the will of this planet is avenging revenge on those who destroy it. Zhao Mai put half of his body in a sandstorm and felt the violent natural force around him. Previously, he relied on exposing himself to the sun to exercise his spiritual power. Now, he is using his body and spirit to feel the most primitive natural and violent power of Atas.
This planet has emotions, which can be felt through the natural force. Usually, this emotion is hidden under the heat of the day and the coldness of the night, as if it is held in my heart and cannot vent. It will only accumulate and will only become more and more dangerous. Therefore, a huge storm will suddenly occur in the desert, and endless anger will sweep across the earth, and it is better to destroy everything. Atas's will is only truly revealed at this time.
I wonder what other druids on this planet feel like in the storm. Will they be infected by the will of Atas and then roared like a roar? Or just silently plant their own crops and fruit trees, hiding in hiding without being known? I wonder how many druids are killed as blasphemers because they are also spellcasters. The passionate and loving guardians were originally good, but their impatientness made them blind, so they did bad things with good intentions and messed up everything.
There is only one way to solve this passionate and blindness, that is, to set an example for them, a hero, and a person who can lead everyone.
In the upcoming history, Rikas was such a person. He killed the Witch King, although this was just a drop in the ocean for the liberation of Atas, after all, in other corners of the world, there were eleven Witch Kings, plus a Dragon King and a more powerful primordial warlock Rajat. But he did ignite the fire of stars. So whenever someone bursts out of enthusiasm again, they would also think while impulsively, how to do things well, should they do it like Rikas? It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and it is even more difficult to be good or bad. In an inappropriate way, even if the right thing is done, it is very likely to turn into bad. The masked alliance resists the rule of the Witch King, eliminates the blasphemers, protects the ecology of Atas, and liberates the enslaved people. These are all good. But they are delayed by enthusiasm and impatience, and have no way, so they have achieved almost nothing for hundreds of years.
Only after Ricas did the masked alliance slow down, take a breath, and start to learn to do the right things with good methods. They no longer rush to kill the blasphemer when they see the blasphemer, but guide and persuade, imprison and educate. They gradually understood that using the witch king against slaves to deal with the witch king, or using kill against killing, even if they were victorious, they would still pass on the mental bad habits that should have been eliminated, create new enemies, and even turn themselves into enemies. They understood that although those slow things were troublesome, difficult, and slow to take effect, they must be done.
Recalling the way Ricas sneaked over to deliver the cake just now, Zhao Mai gradually understood why he became the pioneer of the heroic era. Ricas is not a smart person. He has a wish, but he is more confused. Although he can only focus on one thing at a time, and he is very slow and has doubts, his only advantage is patience, which is that he is willing to listen to other people's opinions, accept help from others, and at the same time slowly think about things that he cannot see clearly for the moment.
Atas is not lacking in strength, enthusiasm and cruel enough means, but Ricas is lacking.
But even after understanding these, who can help me? Zhao Mai communicated with the Natural Force and couldn't help but raise this question. Then, like a guided spell, he transmitted his desire for help through the Natural Force.
‘The spirit of the earth will always come to guide you, the outsider, as it promises.’
The sound came from the wind, but without the breath of sand. Zhao Mai opened his eyes and looked at the storm around. Within one meter of his side, the wind circled, the sand settled, and the clouds moved away. He looked up and looked up. A round hole appeared in the sand storm, and the sight could reach the stars in the sky.
"I don't believe in God, I don't believe in God." Zhao Mai murmured to himself, but in fact, he said this because he had doubts in his heart, doubts about the existence of God, and also doubts about the non-existence of God. "Atas should not have God!"
‘Atas just doesn’t need a god, Attas is not without a god.’ The voice gradually became clear, between men and women. It was hard to tell whether it was young or old. It might just be because Zhao Mai’s thoughts changed. “You need to help outsiders again. What’s going on this time?”
"And?" Zhao Mai felt a little confused. "This is my first time talking to you?"
"Before, you asked me to help you go to the forests and villages of the halflings." The voice said, "I said I can help you twice as long as you execute my will."
Zhao Mai was full of doubts. He felt that he had discovered something amazing. "Can you tell me what happened before? I have to confirm that you are still you."
"Be careful? Be careful. The storm has half an hour and still time." The voice said: "When you come from the outside world, break the limitations of the boundaries and return to the forgotten world, everything will flow again. Destiny will continue to move forward in a cycle. You asked the will of the planet before, taking the condition of killing the Witch King, hoping to have a suitable identity to integrate into the halfling forest and look for the Heart Wood Spear."
Zhao Mai knew very well that he had never made such a wish. He knew that the Heart Wood Spear was a weapon made by the halfling, with the power to suppress and destroy magic and the mental power barrier, and was the only weapon that could allow mortals to kill the Witch King. But at this stage, how many people know about this? Combined with the "outsider" and "again" mentioned by the mysterious voice, Zhao Mai immediately understood that he was not the only time traveler, and that outsider was likely to be the pilot of the cigar-shaped aircraft!
"Killing the Witch King is indeed something that should be done." Zhao Mai spoke and delayed time while thinking about countermeasures. It seems that not only local residents are the people who want to participate in this game of chess, but also not only him, is not the only outsider. When the cigar aircraft launched an attack on "THE·CHE", this was a battle. Zhao Mai could not show mercy, and using the enemy's resources was even more appropriate.
"The first thing has been done, and now we can say the second thing." The voice said, "I will follow the storm to the north, so it is better to be related to the north, so that the fluctuations will be minimal."
"I want to confirm a little more, what is your identity? The god of Atas or the will?" Perhaps from this matter, we can judge the power and purpose of the hidden outsider.
"I am Atas' will, and my anger towards the Witch King. They betrayed the will of the Creator and mistakenly executed the destruction! All the mages should be eliminated!" A hint of anger was brought to the voice, and they became excited and excited. "Outsiders, let your hand, fate will turn again. The Witch King must be eliminated, this is a will that cannot be changed!"
Let’s believe that this voice is the will of the planet. Its appearance can explain many problems, especially those that Zhao Mai couldn’t understand. It is already magical to have the ability to travel through time. Why do you still come to the world you have seen in books? How did these worlds come from? Is it the world first and the book or the other way around? Who, when, and why did this create all this? Now, assuming that the will of the world exists, then this will can be used as a carrier to carry the meaning of the existence of each world. Time travelers are actually dealing with these wills, and the gold coins of destiny are tolls paid to these wills.
The will may be diverse, it may be a god, a god system, or it may be just the natural force of the planet, which is the so-called mother of the earth, Gaia consciousness. Some key major events are very important to the will of the world and seem to be unchanged, such as the Witch King must die. However, there are also some "small things" that can be flexibly handled, either by locals or by outsiders. Zhao Mai cannot argue whether this idea is the answer behind all puzzles, but at present it is enough to explain all the problems encountered. In philosophical thinking, before encountering new problems that cannot be explained, existing conjectures can be used as theorems.
Then it's time to make a wish. "I hope to get rid of my current predicament and act in Tyr without interruption."
"No, you are either a slave or a prisoner." The voice said, "Liberating you is the same as liberating everyone. If the time is not right, everything will be futile."
Very good, and the information is revealed again. Zhao Mai likes this feeling, just like he is doing puzzle games, scrutinizing, restoring, and gradually pieced together the whole picture of the matter. In this way, timing and everything are related to timing. This is something that limits the will of the planet. Just like a causal relationship, there is a cause to have a result. It seems that the will of the planet is not omnipotent.
"I can continue to be a slave, but I will leave the surveillance of Tessian and avoid this danger before I can act. Can this be done?"
"The opportunity comes to you and catch it." said the will. "Two gold coins of fate are used to make up for the fluctuations of events."
Zhao Mai wants to kiss the will of this planet! The gold coins of fate make up for the fluctuations brought by events reveal the true power of the gold coins of fate! Cause and effect and the changes in events create the gold coins of fate, which are the same! Isn’t this the case for traveling through time? Foreigners enter a closed environment, which may change the event trajectory of a world. To make up for this external force, the gold coins of fate are.
There are two fates in the backpack for the reserved grain, the one used in pairs. The information Zhao Mai alone gets is more important than the two fate gold coins, not to mention that it can help him get out of trouble.
The gold coins were blown away, and before they could float into the sky, they turned into sand and dissipated in the wind. "Okay, see you again."
"How did you come up?" Zhao Mai heard that the voice was about to leave, so he asked quickly.
After a while of silence, Planet Will did not answer Zhao Mai’s question. I don’t know if it’s impossible, don’t want to or don’t. “After the second thing is completed, I will come to you to ask the third thing.”
"No, wait until I kill the Witch King, come and ask me the third thing." God knows that this will will come to Zhao Mai or another time traveler next time. This time the planet will admit its mistake, which does not mean that this kind of luck will take care of Zhao Mai. "My last request, no matter how I ask you, you don't have to respond to my request before the Witch King dies. This will make me more motivated!"
"I'm very happy with this, outsider." The voice rolled up wind and sand, hiding in the sandstorm.
