Chapter 653 (1/2)
There is a legend among the merchants of the eastern plain.
It is said that there is a super ancient creature that has lived from the mythological era to the present, quietly dormant at the feet of people.
It knows all the mysteries of the world from the age of mythology to the present.
But every time you ask it a question, you have to pay a huge price. If you can't pay, you will be turned into a stone, wandering between life and death, forever suffering
This legendary creature is actually an ancient worm living in anchudo.
To say that this product has lived from the mythical age to the present, Sylvie must be the first to disbelieve; and the so-called insight into all the mysteries of the world is even more ridiculous. Any wizard with a little insight knows that when a creature touches the truth, it will be sublimated into a higher dimensional existence, and it is impossible for him to continue to lie in anchudo and wait pitifully The guests came to the door.
Of course, to say that the other side has a lot of lost knowledge, Sylvie still believes it.
Whatever else, the fact that it was able to cast a spell on its own existence itself is enough to show how terrible its knowledge is - there is a fixed number of people who know the name ”old worm” throughout the eastern plains.
For example, if a person learns about it and then tells the information to others, he will forget it.
It was true. After the head of the caravan under Sylvie told him what he had learned from nowhere, he had forgotten all about it.
Whether it's written with a pen, indirectly transmitted by magic like a tape recorder, or any other means, there's no way to stop this.
Because of the academic system, SIVI has much more knowledge than other magicians. If you look at the whole eastern plain, you can count them with one hand. The ancient worms must be the first.
It was for this reason that Sylvie decided to ask him questions about the monster in the huge amber under the ground (although only one head has been revealed so far).
Before he came, of course, Sylvie also considered the copy of the candy house. The old woman in the copy had asked him to go there again in half a year.
It's just that there is still a period of time before half a year's agreement, and if the other party wants to tell him something completely irrelevant, it will be really troublesome - not only can not get any information, but also waste the key that can enter the copy.
It was based on this consideration that Sylvie chose to meet the Legendary Super ancient creature, the ancient worm.
There are two kinds of fees charged by the old worm after answering questions: one is what it has not seen or what it does not know; the other is the ”time” of the questioner.
The pile of stone men at the entrance was absorbed all the time before they became that way.
Unlike petrified magic such as petrified aura and hydra's gaze, the power of ancient worms is a contract like ability protected by the laws of the world. If there is no miracle that can be dealt with or countered, even the legendary mage cannot be exempted.
But Sylvie doesn't have to worry about that. As he said, the system produces a lot of clutter.
Unless the old worm is able to know the starting point, SIVI is confident that he has enough knowledge and strange things to pay for the problem.
The old worm was silent for a long time after SIVI had described the object he had seen.
Finally, he shook his head.
”I know what that is, but unfortunately, I can't answer you, young man.”
