Chapter 75 Free soul, unfree reality
"..."

"..."

The white-bearded dwarf knelt on the ground, holding up the Great Sword of Death with both hands. His head was lowered respectfully, and he did not dare to look at the face of the witch in front of him. He could only see a pair of dangling jade feet in front of him.

The atmosphere seemed to have stagnated.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead to the tip of his nose, and then dripped on the dry ground. He had never thought that he could meet two witches before.

And there is also a person who scares countless people...the Witch of Death.

"Has the Great Sword of Death been forged in advance?" A cold and sweet female voice came out slowly.

Then the white-bearded dwarf felt the sword of death being held in his hands being taken away.

"It's all the result of the master's efforts." As the footsteps came, the white-bearded dwarf subconsciously raised his head and looked at the silver-armored knight who appeared aside, forcing a rather difficult smile on his face.

Of course he has to work hard, otherwise his life will be lost.

Originally, he was considered a tough dwarf. Even if he held a knife to his neck, he would not be afraid. He thought it was just reincarnation after death.

And according to the descriptions of followers of the Goddess of Death, the scenery in hell is better than this world.

But being killed by a witch is different. The soul will be taken away by the witch, so there is no way to go to hell or get the afterlife.

So he is very... afraid of the existence of witches.

"Lord Witch of Death, please grant me the gift of the Great Sword of Death." Ximu withdrew his gaze and smiled at the Witch of Death sitting in mid-air.

To this, the Death Witch did not answer immediately. Her slender fingers slid along the edge of the sword, and then asked a question.

"Akhtar, do you want to add restrictions for the Great Sword of Death?" She has the ability to set conditions for the use of the Great Sword of Death. For example, only people of Akhtar's blood can use the Great Sword of Death, or is it restricted Only people with corresponding moral standards can use it.

In short, as long as Akhtar needs it, corresponding limited use conditions can be added, as long as Akhtar has this need.

Ximu thought for a while and said: "Only those who have been given a favor by the Witch of Death can use it."

he added.

"It can only be used by those who have been given the favor by the Death Witch herself."

In this game, many people have been given favors by the Death Witch, but except for Granny Sethe, all the others who have received favors have died.

So it's a disguised form of limitation that only you can use.

"Are you sure?" The Death Witch lowered her eyes and gently touched the sword with her slender fingers. In the past, there was also a person who asked for the same limited use conditions and had a fanatical belief in her. Unfortunately, he later died in front of her. before.

And she was sealed between life and death by the gods.

"Is there anything strange about this condition?" Ximu asked as if he was a little confused, but the Witch of Death shook her head after hearing this.

She began to write the incantation on the Great Sword of Death and added the conditions for its use. The whole process was smooth and smooth, as if she had not thought about it.

After all, she had written the same spell long ago.

The finger that was writing the incantation stopped, and both sides of the sword of the great sword of death were covered with incantations of unknown meaning.

The Witch of Death handed the Great Sword of Death to Ximu and said:

"From now on, anyone who has not received my favor and holds the Great Sword of Death will be cursed by the Great Sword of Death."

"..."

Ximu took the sword and touched the sword of death with his palm, and the black flames wrapped the sword's body.

Even if there is no deeper power of death, with the blessing of the Great Sword of Death, one can still use a deeper death.

He lowered his head and looked at the white-bearded dwarf.

Both sides looked at each other.

"You still need me to build weapons in the future, right?" The white-bearded dwarf twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that the silver-armored knight wanted to test the sword on him.

But he wasn't too panicked.

After all, he is a rare technical talent, and there are few people in the world who are better than his own forging skills.

as predicted.

Ximu withdrew his gaze, then looked at the Witch of Death, and asked: "Master Witch of Death, how do you find the Omniscient Saint?"

The last time he summoned the Death Witch, he was given a mission by the Death Witch to learn the true power of the omniscient God from the mouth of the Omniscient Saint.

The Witch of Death folded her fingers on her chest and said, "The Witch of Destiny will tell you where she is."

As soon as the words fell, it turned into a blue flame and disappeared from the place.

Upon seeing this, Ximu turned around, mounted the little mare and left. Without looking back at the white-bearded dwarf, he headed directly towards the Magic King's City.

In fact, the conditions for his choice of using the Great Sword of Death can be that only "himself" has the right to use it.

However, this is not convenient to increase the favorability of the Death Witch.

A long time ago, the Witch of Death also gave a believer the Great Sword of Death. The believer was a beautiful girl, the blade of the Witch of Death. She held the Great Sword of Death to defeat all those who were enemies of the Witch of Death. exist.

This disciple of the Death Witch was originally called the Black Sword. The restriction on the Death Sword was that only those who had received the Death Witch's favor could use it.

And among the ten shadow spells, eight are to summon Miss Black Knife from the past.

When he summons Miss Black Knife, he can directly give Miss Black Knife the Sword of Death to use.

Based on how much Black Knife Miss received the favor of death, she would be more brutal than him when using the Great Sword of Death. In theory, she could grant death to the gods.

"Survived." The white-bearded dwarf stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then ran into the forge house, packed up and ran away.

There is no room here to stay.

……

...

Magic King City.

Big library.

Putting down the steaming tea cup, Hecate put the book in her hand on the table, looked at the approaching apprentice, and showed a gentle smile on her pretty face.

She waved.

"Apprentice, sit down."

"Teacher, did you expect me to come?" Ximu pulled out a chair and sat down next to Hecate.

On the table, there were two cups of warm black tea and snacks. It was obvious that they had anticipated this, otherwise they would not have prepared only two cups of hot tea.

"Want to learn?" Hecate chuckled, "My teacher has already written a prayer for destiny." He immediately answered, "Of course I want to learn." "

Hecate nodded with satisfaction. Her apprentice used the Death Witch's prayer every day, but it was of no use to the content of her teaching.

Doesn't this mean that she is unqualified as a teacher?

"Tell me something that concerns you." She took out a map out of thin air and handed it to Ximu, "The map marks the location of the Omniscient Saint and the Hundred-Eyed Tower."

Xi Mu opened the map and found a punctuation point moving on the map, which was the activity track of the omniscient saint.

What he is holding now is no ordinary map.

It is the destiny scroll specially made by Teacher Hecate, so the movement trajectory of the omniscient saint can be marked so clearly.

"The Omniscient Saint is not a human being, nor a god, nor a witch." Hecate took a sip of tea and began to tell the information about the Omniscient Saint.

"She is a doll created by the omniscient God. She observes the world from a human perspective and conveys her views on the world to the omniscient God from a human perspective."

"Since the omniscient God is omniscient, does he still need a puppet to look at the world on his behalf?" Ximu asked.

In this regard, Hecate explained this, "The Sister of Twilight who serves you, after regaining her eyes, will also assume the same responsibility as the Omniscient Saint, and look at the world on behalf of Ragnarok."

She explained.

"Ragnarok represents the end of all things, which means that Ragnarok is the final answer to all answers. It is theoretically omniscient and does not need to look at the world through the Sisters of Twilight."

Ximu seemed to be lost in thought.

"Apprentice, everything has an answer and an ending." Hecate gave the answer, "Just like a person knows that he will eventually die, and also knows that his life will be boring and boring."

She smiled softly.

"But people will give meaning to themselves. The meaning they give to themselves belongs purely to themselves. Whether it is Ragnarok or the omniscient god, what they want to understand is the meaning people give to themselves."

"And if they want to understand this meaning, they need to narrow their vision to the human scale and look at the world from a human perspective. Only in this way can they understand the meaning given to them."

Speaking of which, she gave another example.

"Just like a priceless famous painting, most people just think it looks good, but they can't understand why a painting is so valuable. But if someone explains to you the historical significance behind the famous painting, will the value be different? What’s up?”

"This assigned meaning comes from people's free souls and unfettered thinking. What they want to understand is the meaning given to this world by humans."

Ximu asked back: "If the human soul is free, teacher, why can you accurately predict destiny?"

"Because a free soul can be restrained." Hecate calmly told the answer, "Any free soul will no longer be free when faced with the cold reality, so the fate can be predicted from this. "

"..."

Ximu nodded without saying anything.

In the game Mystic Door, there is indeed a setting of "Everyone's soul is free." However, in fact, every NPC must succumb to the underlying logic of the game design, and every NPC will be affected by its own position. , thereby taking similar actions.

It's like going to work every day for three meals a day, and as long as you do boring work, whether you like it or not, at least your behavior can be predicted.

What time will you go out in the morning?

What time will we eat at noon?

What time will you work overtime at night?

Any free soul will succumb to the coldness of this reality and have a predictable fate.

"Apprentice, if one day you can make your destiny free." Hecate said, "I will be very happy to be my master."

After she became the Witch of Destiny, the joy she gained was not the joy of mastering everything, but boredom. This world... was so boring that it made people want to fall asleep.

However, her character is not someone who succumbs to reality. Since the world has become boring, she will find ways to make the world interesting.

To achieve this difficult goal, you must kill the omniscient god.

"I'll try my best." Ximu twitched the corner of his mouth. He could burn the world to ashes with a fire. Does this count as freeing everyone from being bound by fate?

Hecate nodded when she heard this. She didn't seem to want to talk about this topic in depth, but started to confirm the apprentice's learning progress in the past few days.

After confirming that Ximu was not perfunctory, she taught her apprentice the fate prayer she had researched.

Reflect the stars.

This is the prayer developed by the Destiny Witch. Its essence is to borrow the power of the Destiny Witch to gain insight into the trajectory of destiny.

It is very high-end and very powerful, but it is basically useless for multi-game players. After all, multi-game players already have a deep understanding of everything in the game, and their instinctive reactions are faster than using their brains.

By the time the divination results come out, the bosses have all been killed by players alone.

"If you study so well, you should be rewarded as a teacher." Hecate was very satisfied with her apprentice's talent and learning progress.

Then she took out two scrolls.

"Apprentice, come and choose one as a reward. The right hand retinue records the correctly interpreted dragonborn magic, which can help you solve the problem of burning life."

"The scroll in the left hand records the magic that relies on the movement of the stars."

Ximu did not hesitate to choose the scroll in his left hand. For him, it was a teleportation magic that could greatly improve the response to battle.

He doesn't care about life span.

"Apprentice, don't you want Dragonborn magic?" Hecate seemed a little surprised and looked at Ximu reproachfully, as if she was blaming Ximu for not cherishing her own life.

To this, Ximu replied confidently, "Even if I don't choose, would you not give it to me, teacher?"

He asserted so.

"Teacher, you must be reluctant to let me die."

"Haha~ My master's fate was predicted by you, my apprentice." Hecate laughed happily, and her full chest trembled slightly with her laughter.

"Take it, these are gifts prepared for you by Master." She happily handed both scrolls to Ximu.

Originally, these two magic scrolls were prepared for Ximu. She just wanted her little apprentice to choose one of the two, and then give the other scroll out to give her little apprentice a little surprise.

However, the situation was a little different from what she expected. Instead, her little apprentice gave her a surprise.

"Since the teacher correctly interpreted the Dragonborn, then Siegfried shouldn't have to turn into a dragon, right?" Ximu opened the Dragonborn's magic scroll and looked at it, and asked the teacher Hecate at the side.

In response, Hecate shook her head in explanation.

"A correctly interpreted Dragonborn cannot save him from turning into an evil dragon. He will turn into... the Dragon King in the collapsed sky city."

Ximu asked: "Is this the fate foreseen by the teacher?"

"This is the fate he chose." Hecate replied calmly, "Siegfried is waiting for you to become strong enough to protect his daughter."
