"What's in the darkness outside?"
With the help of the light sneaking in from the window, Ash and his friends could roughly tell that this was a scrap warehouse. Although it was scrap, the gold content was not low - the strange parts of Dawn Pink, the plates of Yaojin Black, and the Snow White engine that was still extraordinary even with dust... There was no doubt that this warehouse contained the fragmented sweet souls of the old times. They were the crystallization of wisdom, the details of civilization, and the greatness in the small.
But now they can only be piled up in this cold earthen house casually created with earth magic, serving as seats for Ash and others, quietly waiting for the erosion of time.
In response to Igula's question, Black Crow did not answer immediately, but asked: "In your country, can people walk into the night at will?"
"It's not just our country. In most countries, the darkness at night is just a normal change in light. The darkness itself is not something to be feared."
"How do you know about the situation in other countries?"
"Because I have read a lot of magician manuals." Igula said very confidently: "Although I haven't read much, if darkness is prevalent, the probability of this being mentioned in the magician manual should be very high, but I have never seen a magician manual mention this."
Ash was a little confused. Igula's words suddenly sounded reasonable, but in fact they made no sense at all. He had read many magician manuals, but he had never seen any "Bloodline Prohibition Law" or "Gospel List" that mentioned the blood moon. For the residents of each country, the things they are accustomed to are not worth recording in the magician manual, just like no one will show off the sun, peace, air and food and clothing. They have never lost them, so they naturally don't cherish them.
However, he glanced at Igula's body leaning forward towards Black Crow, and immediately realized that the trickster had entered working mode - he remembered Igula said that erudition is the best protective color of the trickster, and self-confidence is the trickster's sharpest dagger.
Because people will subconsciously follow authority, most people do not have the ability to think independently. Although there are more smart people among magicians, laziness is human nature. When they meet a scholar whose talents far exceed their own (even if it is an illusion), they will become dependent on him and become children in kindergarten who have to wait to be picked up.
Ash and Harvey are the best examples. Now most of the plans are made by Igula. If Igula wants to frame them, it is not much more difficult than making a plate of Labrador.
However, Harvey did not follow Igula. He was like a dead leaf that fell to the ground and was blown up by the wind of Ash and Igula. When he fell to the ground again, it would be the end of him. As for Ash, he simply gave his brain and back to the Trickster.
This Black Crow looks like a melee tactician, and most likely a weak magician. Although there is no big data analysis, it is generally believed that it is more difficult for a physical magician to read the magician manual than an academic magician.
Taijutsu refers to swordsmanship, fists, claws, and other body-related techniques. Taijutsu masters are not low in intelligence, but because they need a long time to hone their skills, they usually read less. Their values are often more direct, with a clear distinction between black and white, and they do not tolerate any flaws. For example, swordsmen often take revenge overnight.
Academic refers to techniques that require reading a large amount of academic materials. Academic practitioners read a lot, have more complex values, and have more flexible moral bottom lines. Therefore, in theory, their reading range is greater than that of physical practitioners.
Of course, this is just a general impression. There are witches in this world who can separate personalities and read manuals. Other magicians may also have ways to temporarily change their sexual preferences.
"Master's Manual?" Black Crow was slightly startled, then nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, you can acquire knowledge from other countries in the virtual world..."
He was actually fooled. It seems that he is indeed a weak magician who has not received much education.
Black Crow paused and said, "There may really be nothing in the darkness of your country, but in the darkness of this land, there is a color that can turn people into monsters - twisted green."
The three of them were slightly startled: "Turning people into monsters?"
Black Crow nodded. "Ordinary people will basically turn into various strange green monsters. They are very aggressive and will gain super-speed regeneration ability when exposed to sunlight, but it is not difficult for magicians to deal with them. The real trouble is the monsters transformed by magicians - green virtual creatures, fish-slashing dragons, fox-light dragons, violent dragons, etc."
"The creatures in the virtual world shouldn't be that hard to deal with, right?" Ash yawned and said, "We're not in the virtual world. You can team up in reality."
"Can't the creatures in the virtual world form teams?" Black Crow asked calmly.
Igula's pupils shrank suddenly: "You mean--"
"The green creatures will gather together to attack human camps, and some small sects will even be destroyed because of this." Black Crow said, "However, once there are signs of the green creatures gathering together, they will attract the encirclement and suppression of nearby large sects, otherwise these green creatures may even form a civilization. We call the gathered green creatures "Green Disasters". Now there are many Green Disasters patrolling the wilds of Senluo Land that cannot be reached by the sects."
"Can't we use the mind and dominance to control the green creatures?" Ash felt very strange: "Isn't this a ready-made research material? Maybe we can even cure them."
"I heard someone tried it," Black Crow said briskly, "and the result was that the magician himself turned into a twisted green creature. There is a saying that the twisted green creatures have been contaminated, and any connection between the magician and them will cause the contamination to spread."
"So, never go out into the night without light. The green will turn anyone into a monster."
Then, wouldn't it be enough to put a light every ten steps to turn the whole country into a city that never sleeps? Just as Ash was about to say this, Igula said firmly, "Light can't dispel the darkness of the night, right? Is it some other force that protects this camp from the darkness?"
“Yes,” Black Crow said, “Ideal, belief, future, hope…it has many names, but they all protect the world in the same form—Dafa.”
"Dafa can protect people from darkness, and those who follow Dafa can also be protected. Therefore, losing Dafa is not just losing hope, but also losing life and everything."
Yaxiu suddenly thought of those Jiehuo believers who lost their will to fight after seeing the Wanjiehuo Dafa being taken away in the afternoon.
"But the Four Pillars are not Dafa, right? They can't be put in the same category as words like rationality and hope." Harvey rubbed his eyes and leaned on Alice, and found a loophole: "Why can the Four Pillars also protect the camp?"
Without waiting for Black Crow to answer, Igula came up with the answer: "Desire?"
