366. There are many things that limit your imagination, not only poverty
After crossing an invisible boundary between two stone pillars, they continued to move forward and passed through a long underwater tunnel.
Originally, if we were in the real world, we would have hit a wall here long ago, because the end can be seen at a glance from the outside.
However, now they have traveled a long distance on the magic carpet.
"Hey, so-and-so's little brother, you seem to have told me something? [There is no mystery in this world except for me]?"
"...Who said that? I didn't say anything like that.
My original words were [there are almost no mysteries in this world except me].”
Yes, from the beginning to the end, from Chapter 155, Xing Ke has said that "there are almost no mysteries in this world".
Note that the word "almost" is the key point and must be tested in the exam.
"In other words, have you seen other magicians in this world? Or did magic really exist in the ancient times of this world?"
"No."
Xingke can responsibly tell Kou Kou no.
This world has never had any mysterious existence from ancient times to the present, since the birth of human civilization. It is a very simple materialistic and scientifically developed earth civilization world.
This is a fact that has been ascertained by tracing back the history of mankind in the "Place of Destiny".
In this world, all myths in history are fabricated by rulers, and all religions are carefully crafted scams.
At least, magic, magic, and mysterious existence have not had any impact on human history.
"No?"
Kou Kou thought Xing Ke was speaking harshly because he wanted to save face, so she asked:
"Then why don't you explain the existence of this cave?
Whether it was the eight-legged walking chariot that suddenly moved last time or this cave this time, all of them are anti-scientific.
I have already asked the laboratory to completely dismantle and analyze the magic-driven chariot. The materials used in the internal structure, except for a glass lens, are not any metals currently available in the world.
Now, coupled with the existence of this cave and such counterintuitive things inside the cave...
You said there is no mystery in this world, but now I don’t believe it at all.”
"...Don't be impatient, let's see what's inside the cave first.
I’ll tell you the conclusion when the time comes.”
Xingji now has a guess in his mind, but he himself is not very sure. Because there are too many possibilities, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that his conclusion is completely correct.
So we can only place our hope on the thing inside the cave being able to shock a little! As long as it is a little shocking, then Xingji’s guess will be enough...
…………
Soon, a bright light appeared in front of the cave, and at the same time Xingji also sensed that the light was of the same nature as the light surrounding him.
That is, both are magic light sources generated by magic power.
At the right time, Kou Kou’s voice came from my ears again:
"The light source in front is a hole, floating upward."
Xingji rushed to the place and took a look. Sure enough, the light was coming from above, and above was the destination this time...
…………
“I see, it feels like a hollow, enclosed space inside a mountain.
And the only exit was flooded."
"I think all this has a meaning, after all..."
Kou Kou jumped off the magic carpet and turned her eyes towards the direction of the light source:
"What is sealed here is the body part of the [Fire Demon]!"
Xingji followed Kou Kou's gaze and was also attracted by the scene.
What exists in the underwater alien space is none other than the headless corpse of the [Devil] who brought disaster to the earth... according to the legend spread by Seth, whose head was beheaded by the [Girls of Fire].
I wonder if you still remember how the devil was described in that legend?
[There is a winged demon living under the valley of this town]
Yes, it does have wings, and they are not fleshy wings like a bat, but feathery wings like a bird.
Because the feathers made of unknown materials are still firmly attached to the wing bones even after the owner has been dead for more than a thousand years.
Even if there is no physical link, it is the same.
It can be seen from the stars that the ribs connected to the wing bones are more like human bones than those of birds and beasts.
But the difference in body shape is really huge.
[The devil spits flames from his mouth and shakes the earth]
When he first heard this legend, Xingke didn't care about the question "How did the devil shake the earth?"
But now he knows that the devil can cause earthquakes by walking alone.
Because this demon has ribs and leg bones similar to those of a human, but has a body size that is a hundred times the size of a human.
On top of the huge skeleton, the magic power that still flows to this day exudes a faint golden light, reflecting the entire cave.
There are no arms, because the existence of wings replaces the arms.
There is no head, because in the legend, his head was chopped off by the [Fire Maidens] with swords.
There is no flesh and blood, maybe because his flesh and blood does not have the magic protection like bones, and it dissipates in the air with the erosion of time, or it may be because of something else.
Xing Mo doesn't know that everything is a mystery.
"But, Kou Kou, I can tell one thing at a glance, and I can be very responsibly certain that this thing... can never be a native creature of this world."
"What?!"
"In other words, this thing came from another world, do you understand?"
Although such a behemoth has no skull, it is difficult to judge its species in Xingji. However, just from its size and wings, you can understand that his true body is like a monster. No wonder the legend describes him as
【demon】.
If we were on another set, we might be able to perform a battle between Ultra O from the M78 Nebula and the ancient fire monster.
His appearance, growth, and death are all impossible to leave no trace in human history. He just left an indifferent legend and local festival in a remote place like [Sez].
.
And Xing Ke has indeed never seen him in the long history of mankind, so what does this mean?
"It shows that his appearance was very short, and his location was limited to the area around Seiz, and did not affect other places.
This means that he was exiled to this world from other worlds for some unknown reason, and performed a great show in front of the people of this world in which the girl of fire drove an eight-legged chariot to kill the devil, leaving a legend behind.
The chariot was left in the human castle, the demon's body was sealed here, and the skull was missing. Those [Girls of Fire] who may be visitors from other worlds... may have died of old age, or returned to their original form.
The world, right?
So, are you satisfied with my guess?"
"...I don't know the specific situation of the magicians, nor do I know the history, so it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not."
Kou Kou smiled and shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't care that her point of view was overturned by Xing Mo, and continued:
"So, my dear brother, now that this mystery that has been going on for thousands of years has lost its meaning, I want to know, does this skeleton have any value?"
Ah, yes, Xingji just remembered it.
Koko? Hekmadia.
The reason this woman originally pursued mystery was not because she liked or longed for mysterious things.
Ever since she got to know Xing Ke and came into contact with the clues of the mysterious world, she wanted to get in touch with Star Ke and wanted to get in touch with the mystery through Star Ke.
However, from the beginning to the end, she just wanted to use mystery and magic to benefit herself!
Later, she pursued other mysterious things. In fact, it was only because the star was not under her control that she found another way out, hoping that there would be magicians other than the star in the world.
