Chapter 587： see the face of truth

Su Lun's expression didn't change much when he heard that he had passed the brave challenge.

He had seen the methods of Cyclops before, so when he heard that the content of the challenge was this, he knew that he had a chance to win.

After all, whether it is a giant dragon or a giant race, it is already difficult for Su Lun to have opponents within the same rank.

He put away the gargoyle puppets all over the sky, and the giant Boda also came out of the quagmire-like gravity field.

The strong will always be respected. After the victory, all the cyclops also gave Su Lun their approval.

Gagagar also said to Su Lun: "Your strength has been recognized by our Cyclops tribe, you can go to the village now. The patriarch will challenge you to the second level of 'wisdom'. If both bravery and wisdom are If you pass the test, you will be able to obtain the qualification to use [Fountain of Mimir]."

As he said that, a smile appeared on his face, which was mostly one-eyed: "As far as I know, you are the second human being who has passed the brave challenge in tens of thousands of years."

Su Lun also bowed politely: "Thank you, Mr. Gagagar."

But at the same time, he was also curious: "May I take the liberty to ask, has anyone completed the challenge before?"

Gagagar didn't mind saying a few more words, and said: "A thousand years ago, there was also a powerful alchemist who came to the island. He completed the heroic challenge."

"An alchemist from a thousand years ago?"

When Su Lun heard this timeline, he suddenly thought of something.

There was a very famous big man in that era.

He asked back: "Is that... a warlock who can control fate?"

Gagagar's big eyes were slightly surprised: "Yes. It seems that you have heard of that strong man. Oh~ Of course, such a powerful alchemist should be a top-notch strongman among you humans. "

When Su Lun heard this, he didn't know who he was talking about.

It's just that I didn't expect Sir Isaac, the demigod of alchemy, to visit Giant Island in person a thousand years ago.

He asked curiously, "Has that gentleman completed all the challenges?"

Gagagar: "Yes. He completed all the challenges, and finally went to the [Mimir Spring], and obtained the ability about the 'future'."

"That's it"

When Su Lun heard this, his expression was slightly taken aback.

But there are also some doubts.

He knew that Sir Isaac was a gifted person of [S-003-Controller of Destiny], and he already had the ability to predict.

But what is the 'future' obtained from the spring water?

Su Lun still wanted to inquire about some more information, so as to increase his confidence, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Giant, isn't [Mimir Fountain] a fountain of wisdom? Why do people get the ability of 'future'?"

"No, not quite."

Gagagar shook his head, indicating that this statement was not accurate.

After a pause, he explained: "The spring water is the 'wisdom' that contains everything in the world, which may be different from the wisdom that ordinary people understand. It does not directly give you the wisdom you don't have, but enlightens what you have. Only you You can get what you can get from the spring water only by what you can understand. There is such a proverb circulating among us giants: the size of the container you have determines how much spring water you can take.”

"This"

Su Lun seemed to understand something, and wanted to ask a few more questions.

The older Cyclops seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I don't know more. Go to the village as soon as possible. I am very optimistic about you. Maybe you can complete the second test. See for yourself the secrets of the spring."

Since Su Lun said it like this, he couldn't ask any more questions, and responded, "Thank you for your enlightenment."

Su Lun went straight to the giant's village in no hurry. He turned around and walked back to the members of the dawn group.

Looking at the thoughtful Mr. Hei, he asked, "Mr. Hei, how are you doing?"

Mr. Hei's expression was as calm as ever, and he answered his famous 50-50 quote: "Before the victory or defeat is decided, each has a 5-point chance of winning."

After hearing this, Su Lun knew that he didn't need to worry too much.

Mr. Hei's insight is stronger than anyone else's. If he has the confidence to say 50-50, he must be sure.

Even if they couldn't challenge the strongest cyclops of the seventh rank like Boda before, giants of the same rank would probably be fine.

Su Lun didn't remind any more: "Okay. Then I'll go there first."

Mr. Hei smiled slightly.

Everyone also said, "Mr. Su Lun is so careful."

The first test is life-threatening, and no one can say what the second test is.

Su Lun nodded.

He walked into the giant village on the island unhurriedly. Not long after, the battle sounded on the coast again.

Mr. Hei met a seventh-level Cyclops, and the two also fought very fiercely.

Su Lun took a few glances from the corner of his eye and didn't look any further.

Although Mr. Hei does not have the crushing means of the puppet army, nor the killer weapon that can quickly resolve the battle like the fire of the **** of death, he is as stable as ever.

The Giants' style of play is the ultimate "one power down ten games", and he is the ultimate "use cleverness to break power".

It's really hard to say who wins and who loses.

The advantage of Mr. Hei's style of play is that he can always use the least energy consumption and the most accurate judgment to grind the opponent.

This allows him to usually not lose against opponents who are much stronger than himself.

But the downside is that he has no chance of making mistakes.

As long as there is a slight mistake, the winner can be determined immediately.

And the cyclops' physical strength is extremely abundant, far surpassing that of human beings. For most people, grinding blood is a nightmare-like process.

But Mr. Hei can't make mistakes, so this kind of battle is destined to be inconclusive in a short period of time from the very beginning.

Su Lun walked all the way towards the village, and the various adult giants carrying stone bars along the way also stared at him curiously with their big eyes that took up half of their heads, as if they were interested in this man who could defeat Boda. Weak humans are very curious.

Su Lun walked to the entrance of the village, passed through the 100-meter-high incomplete wall, and asked the group of giants watching the battle: "Hi, gentlemen giants, Mr. Gagagar guided me here, where can I visit the noble patriarch?"

The giants looked friendly, and one of them pointed to the largest stone house in the village, "That's over there."

"thanks."

Su Lun nodded and walked straight towards the house.

The door of this castle-like room was not closed, but he stopped at the door and asked, "Your Excellency the patriarch, I, Su Lun, come to challenge the second test of obtaining spring water."

An old voice came from the room and asked in response: "Come in."

Su Lun walked in in response, only then did he see a gray-haired giant in the room, more than 30 meters tall by visual estimation.

But he is not as strong as other giants, but as thin as a bamboo pole. Wearing a brown animal skin suit, there is a dragon tooth necklace around his neck.

Although thin, but in that giant eye, it gives people a feeling full of wisdom.

This is Morey, the patriarch of the Cyclops clan.

When Su Lun came in, he had already looked around the whole room.

This place looks like a wizard's house, with all kinds of herbs and some bottles and jars hanging everywhere.

It's just that the volume of something has been enlarged dozens of times.

To Su Lun's surprise, he saw that the patriarch Morey was flipping through a book made of stone?

This also changed his impression of the Cyclops family.

Their civilization is not as primitive as it seems, but has a written inheritance.

Because of the angle of looking up, Su Lun couldn't tell what he was looking at.

At this time, the patriarch Morey lowered his head, motioned to the position opposite him, and said, "Welcome, little human friend. If you don't mind, you can come to the table."

Su Lun was not restrained, and jumped onto the stone table tens of meters high.

There was a whale oil lamp as tall as him on the table. The light from the lamp oil was slightly dim, but there was a faint fragrance.

From this angle, Su Lun was right across from the old giant, and also saw the stone book.

It is said that it is a book, and it is more accurate to describe it as a block of stone tablets engraved with some strange words.

Su Lun tried to understand what was written in those words, but he always felt as if he saw them before his eyes, but he couldn't remember the contents of those words in his mind.

It was just this moment of trance, where he didn't know that there was something wrong with these words.

Quickly use the appraisal of the omniscient eye to take a look.

【Rune Rune Tablet】

Detailed Explanation: This is a special character that contains the law of heaven and earth, and it is a symbol inscribed by the ancient giant gods to record the law of high-ranking earth. You can understand it as a kind of imitation of the original rune, which itself hides the secret of the law of the earth.

"Imitation of the original rune?"

Su Lun was slightly shocked when he looked at it.

No wonder he felt a little familiar.

Once he got the [Imitation Original Rune] of his own fourth-level advanced material in the giant ruins in the Cursed Valley. That advancement also allowed him to gradually see the secrets of cosmic runes, which also had a crucial impact on his career path.

Didn't expect to see something similar here?

This is just one stone slab. In the whole room, there are hundreds of stone slabs densely packed like bookshelves.

These are all imitated original runes?

treasure.

The slate in this room is a treasure for those who can understand it!

No wonder the Cyclops comprehended the laws of the earth and the laws of strength so thoroughly. It turned out that in addition to the talents inherited by their own blood, they also had these treasures.

The old giant keenly caught the momentary change of Su Lun's demeanor, and said with a smile: "My friend's runes are very good. Most people don't understand runes enough, and what they see are some crooked basic symbols."

Su Lun said politely: "Senior, I'm overwhelmed."

The old giant didn't say much, and asked directly: "Are you ready to accept the challenge of 'wisdom'?"

Su Lun nodded: "Of course."

After a pause, the old giant reminded again: "Then let me remind you again, if you fail the challenge, you will lose your wisdom. Do you still dare to accept the challenge?"

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he hesitated for a moment.

Challenges come at a price, which is not surprising to him.

Just like the previous battle, if you are not strong enough, you may lose your life.

But what about this loss of wisdom?

He asked cautiously: "Senior, can I ask first, what is the content of the test?"

The old giant said: "The test of wisdom is just a few questions."

The simpler it was, the more serious the problem Su Lun felt, and asked again: "Excuse me. What do you mean by 'losing wisdom'?"

The old giant also replied patiently: "You will lose your knowledge of this world. This will have no effect on your life, but you may start to understand this world from scratch. It's like a newborn baby."

"."

Su Lun frowned immediately when he heard this.

He walked over with difficulty step by step, and now he also feels that he has just lifted the veil of this mysterious world, and he is deeply aware of the difficulty of this cognitive process.

"Losing wisdom" probably means that all professional abilities start all over again?

The price is no less than death.

For [Fountain of Mimir] a foreign object, is it worth such a big bet?

Once had nothing, he would not hesitate to gamble his life.

But now it seems that after owning a lot, he hesitates instead.

Thoughts flashed in my mind.

Su Lun was lost in thought.

After a moment, he nodded calmly: "Well. I'm ready."

He knew that this level of challenge had already begun from the time of the questioning.

Not only is wisdom tested, but courage is also tested.

When he knew nothing, he would never gamble his life for a foreign object.

But now... As the top alchemist of the plane, he will not give up this opportunity to glimpse the truth no matter what.

What's more, when he can't make a choice, he will choose to trust his intuition.

Hearing this, the old giant smiled kindly and said, "You answered more decisively than I expected."

Betting on the challenge of fate, Su Lun looked very solemn, "Please enlighten me, senior."

The old giant didn't talk too much.

At this time, he turned his body backwards, and with his long bamboo pole-like hand, he took out a sheepskin bag and a stone book from the bookshelf behind him.

He took out the belt and put it on the seat, then reached in and took out a black fruit, and asked, "The first question is to test your knowledge. Do you know what this is?"

Su Lun's expression was normal when he heard the question, but he felt a little strange in his heart: Isn't this a sub-question?

The identification showed [a rotten Aphrodite golden apple].

For ordinary people, this thing may only be a legendary item that has only heard a few words in the classics. Even if you really see the real thing, you may not be able to recognize it.

But Su Lun has the pupil of omniscience, so it's not difficult at all.

The old giant smiled when he heard the answer was correct, and took out another colorful stone.

Su Lun replied again: "This is [solar meteorite]."

If it's just about knowing things, he feels that this test seems to be a waste of money for his talent.

However, even after asking twice, the old giant seemed to have discovered something, and said with a smile: "There are still a few questions. But since you have the [Eye of Truth], there is no need to ask any more."

"."

Su Lun didn't deny it.

He suspects that the origin of his [S-018-Pupil of Omniscience] is directly related to the legendary [Fountain of Mimir], and he is not surprised that the old giant can see it.

The old giant didn't seem to think that this violated the rules, he still looked at the stone book with a kind face, and said: "Next, it's time to test your true wisdom."

"Please enlighten me."

Su Lun looked over with an expression of all ears.

The old giant said: "It has three states. It is gentle like stroking the skin, soft like stroking the sky, and hard enough to crack rocks. Excuse me, what is this?"

Because there was no time limit for answering, Su Lun thought for a while, racked his brains to think about all the knowledge he had, and then answered cautiously: "Water."

He felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.

The old giant didn't say right or wrong, and then said: "What can swallow stones, level mountains, corrode metals, push away clouds, and make young people old?"

After thinking about it, Su Lun replied again: "Time."

Just like that, the two asked and answered. After asking several questions, the old giant stopped and fell silent.

After no one spoke, Su Lun felt a little uneasy.

Is this the correct answer, or is it wrong?

Thinking about his answer in his mind, he felt that if it was not correct, at least it would not be wrong.

After thinking about it, Su Lun asked again, "Senior, did I answer the question right?"

Unexpectedly, the old giant shook his head and said: "I don't know either. Because I am not an omniscient god, I can't give an accurate answer. Your answer is to get the [Book of Trials]. Approved."

Su Lun was a little surprised, but there was no answer?

The old giant looked at his puzzled expression, and said again: "Those questions just now are a test of your understanding of the world, not just having the only answer. At least if you look carefully, you will find that there is definitely more than one thing in the world that fits the question." The answer to the riddle. There are many, even countless.”

"."

Su Lun was a little puzzled. Since there is no accurate answer, how can it be considered a pass?

He faintly felt that this test seemed to have another meaning.

However, the next question made him embarrassed.

At this time, the old giant spoke again: "This is the last question."

As he spoke, he pointed to the oil lamp in front of him and said, "What did you see?"

"."

Su Lun frowned when he heard [an ordinary whale oil lamp].

No matter how you look at it, it is an oil lamp.

Thinking back to what the old giant said before, he immediately realized that this was not a problem at the cognitive level, but at the philosophical level.

He had already given a reminder just now.

No, to be precise, those few questions just now hinted at the direction of the answer.

The answer is not necessarily what it is, but only in your understanding of the world.

What you see and understand is what you answer.

No matter what the truth of the world is, the world in your eyes is the real world in your opinion.

This is an open question with no exact answer!

The room was dark and dark, only this oil lamp illuminated a corner, and he could clearly see what the light illuminated.

There are stone books, tables, people, shadows, and curling smoke in the eyes.

Seeing this, Su Lun fell into deep thought for a long time.

The old giant didn't bother, he flipped through the stone book on his own, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to get the answer.

Su Lun watched, knowing that this last question was crucial.

So he also frowned and thought hard, thinking of countless answers in his mind, but they all felt that something was wrong.

On the contrary, this kind of caution made him feel more and more confused.

"No! The answer to the question must be in what I see."

Su Lun stripped away all emotions, his whole expression became cold and numb, as if the world in his eyes became colder.

Seeing his state, the old giant also looked sideways slightly, as if thinking of something, there was a hint of emotion between his brows.

Suddenly, Su Lun's mind flashed.

In addition to light, there is more darkness!

And everything that is hidden in the dark!

Because it is not seen, but it does not exist.

It's just that my cognition doesn't feel the existence of darkness.

Finally, after thinking for a quarter of an hour, Su Lun finally said, "The truth lies behind appearances."

Hearing this answer, the old giant looked over, "Oh?"

Su Lun continued: "We were originally living in darkness. In order to pursue the truth and see the world clearly, we lit candles and chased the light. But we became more and more attached to the light, and only saw the light in our eyes, forgetting our Still in the dark. As a result, we lose ourselves in the light."

As soon as these words came out~ the old giant's expression gradually showed a smile: "It's really an incredible insight."

What is miraculous is that Su Lun's answer seemed to be approved by a mysterious force in the dark, and a brilliant light suddenly lit up on the stone tome.

The old giant smiled when he saw this: "If you don't realize this, you won't be able to see the 'truth' even if it's right in front of you."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Congratulations, you have obtained the qualification to see the truth."

Su Lun heard this, and at this moment, he hadn't gotten out of that extremely calm thinking state, and his expression was neither happy nor sad.

But it seemed that a certain idea in his mind suddenly came to him.

This "Trial of Wisdom" is a test as well as a guide.

Guide people to see the appearance of truth hidden under the appearance of all things!
