Selina stared at Gao Wen for a long time, as if she wanted to see through this "out-of-domain wanderer" from an unknown domain in a human shell.
But she couldn't see through.
Because she was just a visual illusion projected when Gao Wen actively released part of the surface consciousness. She could only see what Gao Wen wanted to see, and she could only hear Gao Wen want her to hear. Yes, just like the dilemma of the Everlasting Order:
You have no choice but to be constrained by people. Even if you talk about "conditions" at this moment, at best you just show your attitude.
The wanderers outside the territory promised not to take the path of the gods in the future, and promised that the covenant would be void if one day they broke their promises, but Selena knows that no one can bear witness to this oral promise. No one can, neither God .
What she and her compatriots can only trust is the credibility of the "people" of extraterrestrials.
Gao Wen didn't know what Selena was thinking about, but he could probably guess one or two. After a moment of repression, he shook his head: "You don't have to be so alert to me, you are all overstretched. I may come from a place you do n’t know, from a group you do n’t know, but in this journey, I am just an ordinary traveler.
"I want to establish cooperation with you because I think the upper narrator is a threat, and your Perpetual Mission ... is worthy of being pulled.
"So relax and treat this as a co-operation between adults and people, and your tension will be much better."
Having said that, he deliberately paused for a moment before saying as if he had just mentioned it casually: "In addition, you came to see me in person today. In addition to conveying such a message, there should be something else you want to tell me?"
Selina's expression seemed unchanged, but the look at Gao Wen suddenly became a little deeper. After a short consideration, she nodded her head: "I have some questions and hope to get answers here."
"Ask, if I know."
"You said you came to this world to fulfill a promise," Selina asked very seriously. "Is this promise ... related to Govin Cecil seven hundred years ago?"
"Yes." Gao Wen nodded calmly.
"This promise ... is to help Govin Cecil save the kingdom he once established? Is it to help all beings get rid of the shackles of gods? Is it to lead mortals through the tide of magic?"
Gao Wen met Selina's eyes full of scrutiny, he thought, but finally shook his head: "I'm not sure."
Selina opened her eyes suddenly: "Are you not sure?"
"I'm not sure." On this issue, in front of Selena, Gao Wen did not make up a lie that will be difficult to make up in the future, but chose to guide the topic on the premise of telling the truth. "I seem to have forgotten some key points. The memory may be some kind of protection ... But I know that I made a deal with Gavin Cecil, and he traded his soul for me to come to this world, so I came—
"After waking up, I saw that the world was in chaos, the ancient land was sinking in chaos, people were threatened from within and outside the borders of civilization, the kingdom was ill, and all this was very bad for me to enjoy life safely, so I made myself What I want to do-I do exactly what you tell.
"I'm not sure whether these things were the content of the transaction that year, but recently I have become more and more aware ... What I was doing should be what I promised that year, or that ... it was Gavin Cecil doing the transaction I thought I would do it. "
Selina stared at Gao Wen with a certain surprise in her eyes and a sense of uneasy relaxation. At last she blinked: "You are more frank and frank than I thought."
"Otherwise? What should the extravagant wanderer in your mind look like?" Gao Wen smiled, "with some kind of deity? Hard and cold like steel and stone, lacking emotion?"
"Almost," said Selina, with a smile on her face. "So you have forgotten the details of that 'transaction' with Gawain Cecil, and you don't remember why he did that with you ' 'Trading?'
"Generally don't remember, but some vague fragments have surfaced recently," Gao Wen said, his eyes falling on Selena. "For example ... I know you have something to do with it."
Selina's eyes were quiet, and she calmly welcomed Gao Wen's gaze.
"You should be able to see that I have inherited Gavin Cecil's memory, and I have inherited it very much, and in one of the memories, he had his experience of going to the sea in the Longxia Bay. In that special memory, I notice your power.
"So I'm sure that you were involved in that thing, you know the transaction, so you should already know my existence, and the conversation between us today made me more and more confirm this.
"You said that you have some questions, and hope to get answers from me, just right, now I also have some questions-can you answer them?"
Gao Wen asked a gentle smile, as if his old friend was kind.
The majesty of "The Extraterrestrial Wanderer" has been shown enough on the last conference venue, but it was mainly shown to the uninformed sleeper cultists, but Selena Gell in front is half Informed person, in front of her, Gao Wen decided to slightly reveal his "human nature" side, so as to weaken the vigilance of the "informed person" and avoid unexpected trouble.
Outside the window, the starlight and the lights reflected, the magic crystal lamp behind him exuded a warm and bright light, Selena stood beside Gao Wen, bathed in the shining light, seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be remembering, for a long time, She broke the silence.
"Everything changed at the peak of the ancestors. There was the beginning of everything, the beginning of the fall of the three denominations, and the beginning of that voyage ..."
"Peak of the Ancestors?" Gao Wen heard the words that surprised him, "Do you mean, the voyage of Gavin Cecil that year was related to the peaks of the Ancestors?"
Selina nodded slightly: "Since you have inherited his memory, you must know the ceremony of the Dream Church, the Storm Church, and the Holy Spirit Druid on the Peak of the Ancestors?"
"I know that it was the attempt to communicate with the gods that caused the three churches to be contaminated by the gods, and the three dark sects that followed were born-part of this conclusion stemming from my inherited memories and part of me Wake up the results of a long investigation to date. "
Selina nodded again. She did not engage in more entanglement in the history known to the two, but went on to say: "That incident destroyed three faiths of the righteous god, and it was also unstable for other churches and the foothold at that time. Several human kingdoms have made a huge impact.
"The three major denominations that were polluted at the time fell apart. Witnesses of the Patriarch's Peak either fell into madness or died on the spot. Fortunately, only survivors, clergymen in other churches who were at a loss and had no faith connection, and patriarchs who were located There are no people directly involved in the ceremony outside the peak. No one can tell the outside world what happened at the time, and no one knows exactly what caused the terrible pollution and collective madness.
"After that, in order to stabilize the human heart and to explain the phenomenon of divination and recovery, other denominations have announced the so-called 'divine deities', claiming that the gods have re-visited mortals, and brought down new holy laws, including dreams. The three sects, including the church, were exiled and fallen into darkness because they rejected the oracles, but this is a stable statement after all. It can't convince everyone, let alone those who are more familiar with the high-level church and operate on the sect. Someone who knows better ...
"A lot of people are curious about what happened on the ancestor's peak, and they start investigating again and again, including Gawain Cecil."
Having said that, Selina turned her head and looked into Gao Wen's eyes quietly, the latter fell into the memory. After retrieving some key memories, Gao Wen thoughtfully said: "I have the impression that in Soon after that incident, 'I' went there, but 'I' only saw the abandoned ceremonial field, and the frantic priests destroyed everything there, leaving no clues ... "
He has habitually equated "Govin Cecil" with himself in his talks, and from time to time he would later claim to be the latter. Selina apparently noticed this, but she said nothing, just asked A sentence: "Did you really find nothing? Did you really only see the abandoned ceremonial place there?"
"I remember ..." Gao Wen's mind flipped through the inherited memory screen, remembering how Gavin Cecil went to the Patriarch's Peak to investigate the truth seven hundred years ago, and slowly, he frowned, " No, I'm not sure, some pictures are discontinuous. "
Until then, Gao Wen realized that he had an undetected memory loss!
He looked at Selina subconsciously: "This memory is what you move?"
"... Yes," Serena hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. "I helped Gordon Cecil to clear him a lot of memories, but I didn't know what those memories were--he said Those memories are very dangerous. One more person knows that it will push the whole world towards the abyss that is no longer in sight, and in the end they must be cleared, so it is better not to spy from the beginning. "
"... I believe you," Gao Wen said slowly. "Go on, Govin Cecil went to the Patriarch's Peak to investigate the truth. What might he have discovered, and then? What happened after he returned from the Patriarch's Peak. what?"
"He found us." Selena said.
"He found you ?!" Gao Wen was a little surprised. "How did he find you? Especially you, how did he find you? After all, you were already seven hundred years ago ..."
"It seems that you have fully grasped my 'situation', including the fact that I became a soul body seven hundred years ago," Selina smiled. "Frankly, I don't understand it yet ... After returning from the Patriarch's Peak, Gavin Cecil's condition is very strange. He seems to have suddenly acquired some kind of "insight" ability, or some kind of "revelation". He not only arranged the line of defense in advance in a near-predictable way. And repelled several attacks of the deformed, and easily found several secret hideouts built by survivors of the Church of the Storm and the Church of the Dream, even if these hideouts are in the wild and uninhabited forests, even if Gavin Cecil did not Send any eyeliner, even the humans at the time did not know the existence of those wild mountains and forests ... he could find them.
"He first found the priests of the storm who still maintained their reason, and asked them to prepare a big ship for him, and then he found the dream priests who were hiding, hoping to get mental protection, and hope that we can help him clear some memories. ...
"As you know, I was ... dead at the time, but my soul survived in a special way, and I was attracted by Gawain Cecil's plan, driven by curiosity, I had a dream with him In conversation ... "
"I don't know these," Gao Wen said. "It looks like I have a lot of missing memories. What did you talk about?"
"He said he was going to take a chance and seek some opportunity," Selina said slowly. "He said he knew what we went through and knew what terrible things we saw on the ancestor peak. He said he There is a way-not necessarily successful, but at least a glimmer of hope. "
Gao Wen frowned. "Specifically? Did he explain it more clearly to you?"
"That's all," said Selena. "He can't say too clearly, because some things ... the moment they are spoken, it means that there is some existing gaze. You should also be very clear about this. of."
"... Okay, I understand your concerns in this regard," Gao Wen exhaled. "Then because of these ambiguities, you and the sons of the storm decided to take the risk to help Gao Cecil complete it. That voyage? "
"Yes." Selina nodded slowly and said frankly.
Gao Wen is inevitably curious: "Why?"
Selina gazed at Gao Wen's eyes, and said softly for a long time, "Do you know the feeling of nowhere?
