Chapter 106: Phaseless Scales (Part 1)
Paradox was very eloquent and told stories beautifully, like a bard sitting by the fire in a tavern playing the lyre and singing.
Even Lani couldn't help but sit on Ye Xing's shoulder, holding her chin in her hands, dangling her calves and listening quietly.
What happened next was just as Ye Xing guessed.
The [World Branch] where Paradox is located was purchased by Mr. Tang in order to integrate into his budding world which was only level 3 at the time.
However, the town "Astra" is originally part of the mature world "Sora".
For a level 3 budding world, it is too reluctant to annex and merge it.
Coupled with the existence of the "reversal" magic circle built by Paradox, Paradox was awakened by the operation of Mr. Tang, and the two finally reached a cooperation.
Mr. Tang integrated his world into the town "Astra" and used the growth of the world to help Paradox regain his strength and rebuild "Astra".
Paradox also imparted his magical knowledge to Mr. Tang.
The miracle of "resurrection from the graveyard" and the portrait of "white bones growing flesh" of Mr. Tang are both from the legacy of Paradox.
After listening to Planeswalker Paradox's story, Ye Xing couldn't help but touch the nose area in front of the helmet's visor.
He always felt that there was a familiar "grandpa in the ring" routine.
"How much do you know about the "Creator God Candidate"?"
Ye Xing folded his arms in front of his chest, tapping the arm armor of the earth armor lightly with his fingers.
When Paradox heard this, he looked up in confusion and repeated what Ye Xing said: "Huh? I haven't heard of the "Creator God Candidate"?"
Ye Xing sneered, but did not expose this old cunning man.
According to his perception, when Paradox heard "Candidate of Creation God", his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, which completely exposed his background.
"Okay, I'll just pretend you haven't heard of it.
Where is that magical item you found in another world?
let me see. ”
Paradox's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he wiggled his butt unnaturally on the stone platform, as if to cover up some existence on the stone platform.
"This, uh, Your Excellency, may I ask how I should call you.
The situation involving that magical item is more complicated.”
Ye Xing did not look at the stone platform, but kept staring at Paradox's body.
The color of his pupils gradually became lighter, and eventually the entire eyeball disappeared completely, leaving a pair of empty eye sockets staring directly at the middle-aged planeswalker on the stone platform.
"Ye, the future giant king Ye.
If you want my friendship, it's best to tell the truth in the rest of the conversation. ”
Paradox felt a chill in his heart, realizing that Ye Xing was looking at him using some kind of pupil technique that could detect lies.
The planeswalker, who didn't dare to play tricks anymore and bet on his luck, spoke with a serious expression and slowly told about the magical item.
During one of Paradox's time travels, he accidentally broke into a strange world.
The world there is chaotic and disordered, and everything is upside down.
Here, even the magic that Paradox mastered and was already familiar with was impossible to cast.
Even the laws that make up the world are completely opposite to every world he has traveled to.
Recalling the scene at that time, Paradox still shudders.
Due to his confused understanding of that world, Paradox was like a headless fly, wandering around just to find the exit of the world.
Until he saw the scaly magical object, it was the only existence that the planeswalker could clearly recognize in the chaotic world.
So he boldly touched the scaly object with the idea of gambling on his luck.
The chaos in the world disappeared, and the planeswalker was shocked to find that he had returned to the time and space channel for some reason.
Based on his profound memory of that strange world, he tried and created "reversal" magic. The final result was this magic circle that protected the entire town of "Astra".
"I still can't remember how I escaped from that strange world"
A tangled expression appeared on Paradox's face, and he looked at Ye Xing hesitantly.
"Mighty Ye, I am not deceiving you.
But even I don’t know where that scaly magical item actually exists. I sometimes suspect that it is around me, but I really can’t find it”
Ye Xing nodded and agreed with the planeswalker's words.
"It is indeed right next to you. Did you use your left hand to touch the scales?"
Paradox couldn't help but be moved. He looked at Ye Xing with a little more respect and respect.
"How did you know? My dominant hand is my right hand, but to prevent myself from getting hurt or cursed, I used my left hand."
Ye Xing chuckled, lamenting the coincidence and impermanence of fate.
"Because it stays on your left hand."
The planeswalker stared at his left hand with a horrified and regretful expression, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.
His lips trembled and he was speechless.
Although Ye Xing didn't quite understand what happened to this planeswalker, his curiosity about this magical scale continued unabated.
"Give me that scale, Paradox.
You will gain my friendship and become my friend. ”
Ye Xing spoke calmly.
Paradox's reaction was unexpectedly strong.
"No! I can't give it to you, it is my hope to reproduce "Sora"!
"Astra" due to destruction!
I can't let it be destroyed again! ”
The middle-aged planeswalker clenched his left hand and spoke loudly and confusedly.
His words echoed in the empty cellar.
As Ye Xing gradually approached him, Paradox gradually calmed down.
He sat dejectedly on the stone platform, crying and begging Ye Xing: "Please! This is my last hope!"
Ye Xing bit his lower lip hard, making a "tsk" sound in his mouth as if he was impatient.
He tried to keep his tone calm, and said loudly to the poor man with a slightly tough attitude: "But you can't control or use it!"
"You don't even know where it is!"
"Are you willing to let this town, its flowers, trees, and familiar residents remain in this tragically twisted state?"
"Answer me! Paradox!
Do you really want to save your world? ”
Ye Xing inserted the handle of the battle ax into the belt seam of the armor on his back.
He grabbed the collar of Paradox's magic robe with both hands and lifted him up from the stone platform.
After being stared at by Ye Xing's empty eye sockets, the planeswalker seemed to suddenly wake up from a long period of confusion and confusion.
He stared hard at Ye Xing's eyes that did not exist in the material world, and his teeth chattered tremblingly.
"Of course, this is what I should do.
I should have known better when your eyes started to change! ”
Ye Xing let go of Paradox, patted his shoulder, and adjusted the collar of his magic robe.
"Then give the scales to someone who has the ability to use it!
You are already my friend. You can safely leave it to me to help your friends save their hometown or even take revenge.
After all, I am the "Creator" too. ”
