Cheng Shi was anxious. He kept harassing Yuxizhilips in his mind, wanting to know whether what the Dragon King said was true.
Otherwise, how could he be called the Dragon King? Even the second on the list of [Fraud] would just become the envoy's bootlicker when he heard the name [Foolish Play]. But he directly denied this identity he made up in just a few words and pointed out the core of the problem: the mask is the real body!
That’s so true bro!
I compiled so many things just to figure out what kind of person Zui Ge is!
Listening to your words now is better than asking you for ten years!
Brother Zui, say something, Brother Zui, I know you are listening. If you have the ability to lie to me, why can't you respond?
You dare not say anything after your identity is exposed, right?
Okay, okay, I knew that having a heart-to-heart talk with the Dragon King would yield great rewards. I am so smart!
Cheng Shi was happy, he felt that he had found the right direction. The lips of foolishness and the tongue of lies must be parts separated from a certain [fraudulent] creature, and the complete mask might really be a mysterious existence like the [Ritual of Truth].
But the surprise that the Dragon King gave Cheng Shi was far more than that, because before Cheng Shi could get a response from Zui Ge, the other party said again:
“Come to think of it, I seem to have a memory of seeing something similar to a part of a mask.
Of course, before I knew about the existence of the Lord [Foolish Play] you mentioned, I just thought it was a weird and extraordinary prop. Now it seems that, well, it is very likely to be part of the mask you are looking for."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi immediately stood up, took a quick step to the front of the Dragon King, took the Dragon King's hand, and said solemnly:
"Where is it? I can exchange its location with you for any memory you want to know."
Li Jingming was stunned, looked at his clenched hands that turned white, and said with a mixture of laughter and tears:
"The memories you've given me are enough, Cheng Shi. I'm not a secretive person, but that place is really not easy to get to.
It was a city in the middle of the civilization era called Sandales. "
Cheng Shi frowned and remembered this place.
This city belongs to the Tower of Matter and is located in a remote area close to the northern snowfield. Due to its vast area, sparse population and perennial cold, it is often used by the great scholars of the Tower of Matter as a dumping ground for various experimental wastes. It is said that it prospered for only a short period of time before being completely abandoned.
"Can you be more specific?"
"There are no extra memories. You have to thank another believer of Memory for this memory. If it weren't for him collecting the memories of merchants in the Tower of Reason out of piety, I might not have known that there was such a thing there."
"?" Cheng Shi was stunned. "Then how can you be sure that it is related to the mask I mentioned? Aren't there too few clues?"
“Because it looks like something created [by fraud], more like part of the mask.
Those were ears, and in Sandress's ghost story, they were called...
A prying ear."
Peeping ears!!!
That’s right, that’s right. Just by hearing the name, Cheng Shi knew that this prying ear was definitely part of the mask!
Although the broken mask was just his own fabrication at the beginning, it now seems that he was right. There is a 99% chance that Brother Mouth and Brother Tongue are just fragments of a mask!
So Cheng Shi started bombarding Zui Ge again, and this time Zui Ge responded, but it didn't seem like he was responding to Cheng Shi, it seemed more like he was lamenting about the past.
Most importantly, it did not respond in consciousness, but spoke directly.
"· Sandles... it's such a distant memory."
"!!!"
Cheng Shi was stunned. Zui Ge casually said something that seemed to be true but was not, and ran away, leaving him with his cheeks twitching and not knowing how to respond.
Fortunately, this sentence aroused Li Jingming's curiosity. He raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "It seems that you have been there. Do you seem to have any interesting memories?"
I've been to a ghost!
Cheng Shima was annoyed. Okay, okay, Brother Zui, Brother Zui, you have to find something for me to do, right?
He twitched his lips and quickly clarified: "I was just sighing. I heard someone mention it in the previous trial. That trial took place near Sandales. It seems that I accidentally missed it."
Li Jingming nodded thoughtfully:
“Perhaps it’s not carelessness. Fate is invisible and traceless, and it’s nowhere to be found. When you shouldn’t know these things, He may not lead you to the right place.
You are a believer in "Destiny" and should understand this better than me."
Understand? Haha, I understand more than that. I know it too well. Isn't this a given?
Cheng Shi smiled slightly, blocking out some blasphemous gossip in his mind in time.
Seeing the other party's strange smile, Li Jingming shook his head: "Tell me your conditions, Cheng Shi, I don't want to add unnecessary pressure to myself by carrying a blank check that cannot be fulfilled."
Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and said, "First, let's talk about what Zhen Yi did to you."
"Is this your condition?"
"No, it's the exchange you hear 'Times'."
"?" Li Jingming was stunned, his face became a little helpless, "Many people exchange memories not for the purpose of remembering, but for..."
"Eat melon!" Cheng Shi's eyes lit up and he smiled happily, "I'm telling you the truth. I just want to eat melon, but you promised to cut this melon, so hurry up and let's move on to the next topic."
"......"
Li Jingming smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "The exchange should indeed be fair, but this matter is indeed... unlucky."
Soon the Dragon King gave a brief account of what had happened between him and Zhen Yi. This happened not long after the establishment of the Historical School. At that time, the Dragon King found someone from the Historical School in order to exchange memories.
At that time, he admired the pragmatic style of the historical school, so he spent a lot of money to get an introduction from others and met the helmsman of the historical school, Yizhen.
Of course, the Dragon King at that time had no idea that this "Yizhen" was neither a memory nor a truth, and was not the founder of the historical school, but the founder's sister, the liar who was not yet infamous at that time, Zhen Yi.
The time he went to meet was unfortunate, as Zhen Xin happened to be replaced by Zhen Yi at that time, so the person who met the Dragon King became the sister who liked to play tricks on people.
In order to join the School of History, in addition to having a profound knowledge of history, one must also have personally witnessed a major event that took place in the Island of Hope. These conditions were not difficult for the Dragon King, so he easily recounted an experiment that took place in the Tower of Physics and passed the basic assessment.
However, this time the examiner was particularly harsh on him and required him to "discuss history" after the basic assessment.
But the Dragon King did not reject this kind of in-depth communication, so he began to exchange memories with the "examiner" just like today.
