Chapter 018 18

"This is the primordial void without walls, cities or countries. The original star shining deep underground—" Merlin was excitedly transforming the newly built Eternal Oasis into the appearance of Avalon, with a sea of ​​pink flowers covering the entire space and a pure white observation tower rising from the center of the sea of ​​flowers. "Even if time passes, this dream will always stop at this moment."

"Because we can foresee everything, we know the existence of unchanging things; because we can foresee everything, we know the existence of changeable things." Gilgamesh watched Solomon conjure up tables and chairs in front of the observation deck, thinking of the oasis on the ground, and sighed softly, "Flowers are easily broken when exposed to strong winds. However, no matter how fragile they are, it is flowers, 'humans', who can take root in hard rocks -"

"This is the last paradise where colorful flowers bloom." Solomon rested his chin in thought, changing several sets of tea party tables and chairs of different styles. "Even if the oasis is buried by yellow sand, this is still the land of eternal spring - the nursery of the flower god, the last paradise. Time will stop because of the departure of the nursery owner..."

Merlin walked to Solomon's side, waved his wand, and conjured up three chairs shaped like tree stumps, which were placed in a triangle with their backs facing each other. In the center of the triangle was the coffin that had been prepared to welcome the red dragon.

"Haha, although it won't be used to pretend a corpse, at least when it's passed down to future generations, this will be the 'resting place of the flower god', right?"

The half-dream smiled and spread out his arms, inviting the two older men to sit down. He then used magic to print the prophecy he had made earlier on paper and scattered it into the coffin.

"The wind will sing for freedom,

The rocks will turn to dust,

The lightning flashes in an instant and becomes eternal.

Wisdom is for sale.

Nectar is the beginning and end of all things.

The fire is rekindled in the embers,

Ice binds hope.

"Why do I feel like I'm seeing the Queen again?" Merlin finished writing a new prophecy, stuffed it into the coffin, rubbed his hands and exhaled, "Well... our hope was put on the shelf, but now it is still in the Queen's palm - although she is the 'savior', in a sense, she is the one who announces destruction."

"After all, everyone in the Fairy Kingdom has original sin."

Gilgamesh glanced at most of the prophecies written by Merlin, turned his back silently, and chose to share the tea party snacks with Solomon, which were a bit rough due to the limitations of the times, materials and technology; Solomon held a cup of fruit tea with too much sugar, sat quietly in his chair, and answered the communication in the control room again.

"Aha, so I am the first person to see the Everoasis, Caster?" The white-haired magician sat on the chair in the middle of the control room and smiled at Solomon on the other end of the communication. "Then your setting of the interior scenery of the Everoasis was not blocked by the world consciousness?"

"Ah, one of the main reasons why it was blocked before was because the entrance had a stun spirit in its mechanism." Solomon handed a book to Merlin, who was debugging the sky after writing the prophecy. "That stun spirit is a necessary and unchangeable node. For example, if there was no mechanism to accommodate her, the history after the death of the flower goddess would have developed in the direction of the strange belt."

"It became a Lost Zone because the future was not destroyed as quickly as an ordinary anomaly. Also, I remember that my contract has been transferred to the deputy director, Marinesberry."

"Is little Alice here?" Merlin stopped testing the sky and sighed in embarrassment, leaning on his wand. "Ah, it would be even better if we could invite a few British fairies over - although I don't really like interacting with them! Oh, and you can also ask someone I can't see to come over."

It was rare to have enough free magic power to waste. After hearing the communication forwarded by the control room, Fujimaru Ritsuka, in line with the virtue of not being stingy when it comes to getting something for free, immediately went to the summoning room to read the spirit base atlas and packed up the entire fairy kingdom that New Chaldea had shared with them and sent it to the control room.

The irresponsible Miss Savior asked her best partner to take a message to the adults in the control room and then went back to her personal dormitory to catch up on sleep. Only the Fairy Knights, the Fairy Queen, the "Son of Redemption" and the "Neraku" were left standing in the silver-white corridor, staring at each other.

Mashu smiled with difficulty as she led the group of servants into the control room. After leaving behind the message that Fujimaru Ritsuka had asked her to bring, she turned around and fled, just like her beloved predecessor.

"This group of guys is the spiritual base data shared by New Chaldea. This is our first summoning here!!!"

"...Okay." Cadoch, who was sitting at the workstation below, took a deep breath with a headache, and angrily typed a few times on the keyboard to send a message to harass the former captain during his break. Then he retrieved the file name of the file that recorded the original sharing of spiritual base data and sent it to Marisbury as a reminder, "So why did Merlin want them to come here?"

"He probably just wants to know how it would be if the time in Evergreen Oasis stopped at the same dusk as the Fairy Kingdom." Solomon made a simple guess and reminded the young magician seriously, "Don't be fooled by his identity as the crown magician and the magician of King Arthur's court - Merlin was once an Internet idol and here he directly dressed up as a girl."

"Throw away those useless filters of post-AD magicians."

Cadoc: "I thought I had gotten rid of these filters pretty thoroughly... After all, I'm not a magician from a famous family--"

The elves who were holding a meeting for the Eternal Oasis were very efficient, but it could also be said that there was no progress at all. As the communication hub, Marisbury watched them discuss everything from the moment they entered the control room to the present, and the support rate at different points in time was still a tie.

"The Eternal Oasis will eventually fall." Gilgamesh joined the discussion and calmly reminded the obviously overly excited Half-Dream, "It just needs to remain intact as a relic of the Flower God until a certain point in time, waiting to be opened - and then it will be destined to be destroyed, turning into yellow sand along with the civilization that was destroyed thousands of years ago."

The white dragon from the fairy kingdom rolled his eyes fiercely, relying on the fact that he did not exist in the sight of the half-dream. He and that guy had a terrible incompatibility - the more fundamental reason was the different attitudes they had towards the story. Oberon therefore could not understand why Merlin included him in the list for comments.

Merlin finally chose the dusk suggested by the Textile Fairy, and his two colleagues had no objection - the pure white lookout tower was dyed red by the light of the setting sun, the flowers stopped swaying, the time of the Eternal Oasis stopped at this moment, even the wind was frozen, and the pink and purple translucent petals were fixed in the air.

"So, the prophecies so far basically say nothing good, right?"

After the servants of the Fairy Kingdom were released from the call, it was time for a shift change in the control room. Lancemelo, who took over Marisbury's job, immediately checked the several prophecies made by Merlin uploaded by Solomon. He disliked the content of the prophecies and complained to the three teachers on the other end of the line.

"...That's it." Solomon added silently, "There are some sentences that seem to be able to be passed down on their own - but I think, no matter what, at least two sentences should be included. And the area over there with the wind element...their future has always been quite free, so saying this is the same as not saying it."

"Only the words that are circulated now can be regarded as prophecies."

"But isn't there a wall of storms there too?" Lanser-Mero put the new prophecy into the folder of Teyvat. "It's not that easy to pass it on - and the common feature of these 'kings on the throne' is that they hold the entire country in their own hands. If you only consider the country, race or civilization, personal happiness has always been non-essential."

"Carabian used the Storm Wall to isolate the ice and snow, but at the same time he also kept his people in captivity - just like what New Chaldea told us about the Nordic Sound Belt." Lansemero held his cheek and slowly reviewed the history of the seven Sound Belts. "Morgan only cares about Britain. The elves' magic power was squeezed out, which was just a means chosen by the queen to maintain the survival of the mysterious island."

"So who are the guys you're talking about who only consider civilization?" Solomon noticed the part the student missed, but he smiled easily, "Ah... I see, after all, we are the Grand Servants who protect human principles - the concept of human civilization has always been included in human principles."

"King Gilgamesh believed that although humans themselves are boring, the things they create are undoubtedly valuable."

The discussion about "The King on the Throne" came to an end for the time being. Lancer Melo completed the clocking in of the duty system and switched the interface to continue studying the new prophecy written by Merlin.

"I thought that the fate of Greece and Northern Europe is composed of three sisters, and both use thread to make up their fate." Lansemello looked at the prophecy and gradually lost her focus. She didn't care whether the teachers heard her words or not. "Nordic knitting, Greek spinning - does changing the past mean changing the original fate?"

"According to the hypothesis of the scientific side, changes in the past will form paradoxes or derive new parallel worlds." Merlin used magic to conjure a bifurcated diagram to represent the branches of the world. "In short, it is impossible to return to the original future - but the fairy kingdom of Britain is different, because the fairy calendar is a development with only possibilities, so no matter what it becomes, it will not affect the Queen's calendar of the extinct fantasy tree."

"...The opposite of this is the past pruning." Lansermello watched Merlin change the model of the illusion as she spoke. "The past is a point like sand, and the future is a line with branches. The pruned past is to form a complete line with the selected past, the present, and the future."

"But if we only consider the mysterious side...it means that fate can be rewoven."

"There is no demon god in Teyvat who controls destiny." Lanser-Mero tapped the edge of the keyboard lightly, "But Teyvat has the characteristic of a closed world, which makes it difficult for them to easily derive a new parallel world - this makes the re-spinning of destiny possible. I think this should be enough to create a hopeful prophecy, Mr. Merlin."

"City of Ice, Kingdom of Snow."

When disaster is repelled, travelers should be welcomed.

The stars of time guide him, and the blood relatives of the abyss watch over him.

The traveler finally arrived at the throne of the gods.
