Chapter 406 April Fool's Day
April 1st is a very memorable day for Nanwei City.
In the world that Milo remembered, people also gave this day an intriguing meaning - April Fool's Day.
Perhaps this is a certain similarity between the two different worlds.
This similarity is reflected in all aspects, and it seems that such a subtle festive atmosphere can also be smelled in Nanwei City.
Of course, only Milo's brain circuit can understand this tricky angle.
April Fool's Day on earth originated from a calendar reform in a certain country. The New Year's event originally scheduled for April 1st was moved to January 1st in the newly promulgated calendar. However, this reform announced by the emperor The resolution was opposed by the conservatives, so the conservatives still followed the old calendar and celebrated the New Year on April 1, sending gifts to each other and holding celebrations on this day. The reformists will mock the conservatives on this day. They will give fake gifts to the conservatives, or hold activities to trick the conservatives into attending. This act of mockery eventually evolved into April Fools' Day.
Now, Nanwei City seems to have this situation on April 1st.
It’s just that, more accurately, it should be called April God’s Day, rather than Fool’s Day in the traditional sense.
When Milo returned to Nanwei City, his vision became broader and clearer than before.
This time, he clearly saw the entire city that was created to imitate Nanwei City. Everything here was a "fake gift" created by Imnar to fool the so-called gods in the dreamland. .
Including every person, every cat, and every dog in the city, as well as every inch of land, every building, every flower and grass here, and even the thick clouds above our heads, There is also the weak sunlight that occasionally breaks through the gaps in the clouds. Everything here is imitation and a tool for fraud.
......
Although the gods that Milo encountered in his early dreams were all riddles, at least the old guy clearly told Milo about the existence of the contract. .
It warned Milo that he had entered the vision of order and law in the dreamland, and he must abide by the contract that he had made, that is, he could not get involved with the "things" below Nanwei City.
Regardless of what the thing is specifically, you just need to know that it is terrifying enough, because even the gods are afraid of that thing being born prematurely. In order to prevent this situation from happening, they will even bury the entire waking world.
You must know that Dreamland, as a subjective world, is essentially constructed from the subconscious of creatures in the waking world. If a civilization that has developed to this level is completely buried, Dreamland will What it became, no one knows...
...
The god from the abyss arrogantly ordered Milo to fight with the gods and the old masters in the dreamland Everyone must abide by the contract together, and no one can privately get involved in things under Nanwei City.
This means that they obviously do not know what is happening in Nanwei City now.
Because the Nanwei City they can now peek into is an imitation world created by Imnar. Everything here is false and is a fog created by imitating all the original details of Nanwei City.
And this great work was not directed at Milo from the beginning.
The ultimate goal of Imnar is that the gods have made a contract to restrict the forbidden things that all superiors cannot touch, something buried under Nanwei City...
< br>This is a fool to the gods.
This is a huge and great fraud scheme.
And this great plan was completely put into practice the moment Imnar learned his true name...
…
“No wonder it said so much nonsense at the beginning. The plan to win over and seduce me and fool the gods is not easy to implement. The complexity of this city is far beyond its imagination."
Milo was walking in the wilderness on the outskirts of Nanwei City. Be able to see clearly what is real and what is unreal.
The remaining light from the bell tower shining from the high church bridge behind is real.
Obviously, Imnar has not yet been able to engrave the Golden Rule, but Milo, the church's urinary man, understands that these holy sticks who crawl under the shadow of the blood of the old god are full of respect and fear for the superiors. When the shadow falls, they will not make any move of resistance. They will only choose to block themselves firmly on the high bridge, pretend that nothing happened, and pray that there is a trace of mercy in the will of the superior.
But Milo, who has peeked into all the memory fragments of Sheffield, knows that in the upper reaches of the distant history, there once was a powerful civilization called "Nas". When the shadow fell, it was gone. After waiting for the mercy of the superior, the last trace of this civilization left in the world is the evil book "Nas Chronicle". Milo didn't know whether the gods would favor their people.
He only knew that the one he met in the abyss would not.
Now there is a problem before Milo - he knows the attitude of the gods, the existence of the contract, and Imnar's plan of the Foolish God.
But he cannot, like the Church, pray for mercy from either.
Imnar is an old ruler, and there is no concept of mercy in its will. This was clearly stated to Milo in the Prayer Square.
The gods in the dreamland spoke very clearly, and their way of solving the problem was extremely crude, which was to bury everything in the existing world.
That is not solving the problem, it is killing everything including the problem.
……
So even though he knew what Imnar was doing, Milo still couldn't let the gods who made the contract know about it.
Looking at the lights in the fake Nanwei City in the distance, for a moment, Milo seemed to be able to feel the helplessness of being a small inferior who knew nothing about the rules of the upper world. .
People don’t know anything. Now they are immersed in false dreams. They don’t know that a powerful ruler is replacing this city. They don’t know that the gods can bury the entire civilization underground at any time.
It seems that they do not even have the right to feel helpless, because they are in a position of absolute ignorance, which is a dominated position.
In silence, everything that once existed for them may be replaced or erased, and they will not be aware of it at all.
This is not the fault of this civilization.
From this perspective, it seems that the church’s humble attitude is not so abhorrent.
Because, Milo had a vague feeling.
Perhaps, perhaps, he came to Nanwei City inexplicably from his original world because he was invisibly controlled by a certain higher will...
...
< br>
Even if a civilization is as powerful as Nass, when faced with the domination of the will of the gods, the only thing they can do is to leave traces of their existence in writing.
Compared to the entire civilization, the isolated city of Nanwei is so weak.
Milo felt that the lights in the distant city were appearing and disappearing in the fog, just like Nanwei City conveying its will to struggle, revealing a little unwillingness, but more Still helpless.
“Fortunately, there are no records of arm-wrestling and overturning by the Outer Gods in history. What’s more, the one who appears this time is not an Outer God, just the Old Dominator.”
Milo muttered Then, he walked towards the fake Nanwei City.
It seems that he himself didn't notice that since then, he has been able to say things like "just the old ruler" without any scruples.
......
The complete version of "The Chronicles of Nath" significantly improved Milo's spiritual vision. After gaining a clear enough vision, he saw Imnar There are many loopholes and flaws in this foolish god's plan, and these loopholes and flaws are his opportunities to make a comeback.
There is no need to bury this world with those high gods in fantasy dreams.
Milo no longer wants to be deprived of everything in the same way as before. Those buried in the deepest part of his memory, his real relatives and friends, the world he is familiar with, his life that has been cut off with a knife and can no longer be found anywhere. Looking for the emotion...
At least this time he has mastered enough power to act according to his own will instead of being blindly dominated.
