Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 147 The Age of the Deep Sea
The voice of the glutinous rice fruit is very gentle, as if telling an ordinary historical story.

Chen Yan felt that this story was a bit weird.

"Wait, glutinous rice fruit, someone told me that [Last Transformation] happened without warning, not because of the blood of any god..."

The more Chen Yan talked, the lower his voice became, and the less confident he became.

Those words that Claude Moon said... are they false?
Looking at the pure eyes of Nuomi Guo, Chen Yan finally understood one thing:

That grandson of Claude Moon is lying to me!
Realizing this fact, Chen Yan calmed down instead. At the same time, he was even more grateful for the embankments he had made against Claude Moon—now it seems that those embankments were completely correct.

Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then said:
"Glutinous rice fruit, what do you mean, [God's Blood] has caused an unbearable [Evolution] to people, and this [Evolution] is reflected in humans as [Last Transformation]——Can I understand it that way?"

Glutinous Rice Fruit nodded: "That's right."

Chen Yan speculated: "In other words, is the so-called god a beast in some sense?
Some kind of beast higher than a human life form? "

Glutinous Rice Fruit replied with very cautious words: "No one has proved this, so we have no way to be sure.

The only thing we can be sure of is that the [beast] that fell into lycanthropy and turned into a god is also a carbon-based life form, and in terms of life form, it is no more advanced than ordinary humans. "

Chen Yan then thought of the [Beastification Virus] that can make demihumans stronger.

"Glutinous rice fruit, you must also know about the 【Veterinary Virus】."

Glutinous rice fruit nodded.

Chen Yan went on to say:

"If you follow your definition just now, [Beast Transformation Virus] can also make people undergo [Beast Transformation] similar to [Evolution] in a certain sense, so as to obtain some extraordinary abilities.

In fact, I have always wondered in my heart, isn't [Veteria Virus] really a weakened version of [Veteriasis]?Are they really not the same thing in essence? "

When talking about this question, Nuomi Guo also frowned:

"That's one of the unexplainable problems we had before we entered Empire."

"On the surface, [Various Virus] is almost a weakened version of [Disease]—both will cause people to [evolve] to a certain extent, and thus gain extraordinary abilities."

"But no one has proved whether [the beast virus] came from the blood of God."

"I think that those universities in the empire that study theology must be doing research in this area.

There may even be some research results that have not been made public yet. "

Nuomi Guo said: "This is the reason why I want to enter an academic university and do academic practice."

Chen Yan suddenly realized: "So it is."

The glutinous rice fruit is so anxious to go to school, so it is because of this.

Chen Yan thought about it: "Speaking of which, you must have made a lot of preparations for this?"

Nuomi Guo smiled confidently: "If the church school does not limit the accumulation of credits, I am sure to be admitted to the university within three months!"

Ohgami said in a serious tone: "Too conservative."

Listening to their conversation, Jack Baldo looked at the glutinous rice fruit with surprised eyes: "You are so young, how do you know so much?"

Nuomi Guo said in a calm tone: "Age is not a shackle that limits knowledge, Mr. Baldo."

A look of narrowness flashed in her eyes: "In order to learn the meaning of [immortality], Ogami and I once went deep into Lordland, the land of the ancient gods... Your history is very interesting."

Jack Baldo opened his mouth wide in surprise: "There are still people living in that ghostly place?!"

what……

Looking at Jack Baldo's reaction, Chen Yan immediately realized that the so-called [Land of the Ancient Gods, Rodland] seemed to be the location of Jack Baldo's hometown, Catalina.

Glutinous rice fruit nodded:
"It is said that at the end of the end of Rhodeland's [Deep Sea Age], there was an unknown and unknown brave man who used himself as firewood to add new firewood to the initial furnace.

The flame reignites, the end is over, and the world continues to exist in the light illuminated by the flame—

This is the legend of Rhodeland that is circulated in the market today, and it is a bedtime story that even today's children are familiar with. "

A little disappointment appeared on Jack Baldo's face: "Ah, ah...I'm sorry, I lost part of my memory. I only remember that the flames of Rodland were about to be extinguished, darkness fell, and the undead disease broke out...It seems that that era has passed for a long time."

Nuomi Guo thought for two seconds before opening his mouth in a cautious tone: "The era you mentioned was the last era of [Light will be extinguished] before the [Deep Sea Age] named [Doomsday].

It was earlier than the era of the nameless brave man who saved the world.

I seem to have seen descriptions of that era on inscriptions. "

The glutinous rice fruit changed into a strange language, which was not the language of any civilization that Chen Yan knew:

"The fire will be extinguished, but the king's shadow will not be seen. The last king who was reborn in the ashes abandoned the original fire and extinguished it. The world fell into darkness. The age of the deep sea came, and everything returned to its original state."

Nuomi Guo translated this sentence in imperial language, and then said in a calm tone:

"The [Deep Sea Age] after the flames were extinguished is a chaotic era that does not exist in any history books... It is also the era I am most eager to explore... There are secrets of immortality there."

After Nuomi Guo finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the restaurant.

Everyone was thinking about what Nuomi Guo said, and they couldn't even hear the heavy snow whizzing and knocking on the glass of the corridor window——

As the evening approached, the snow fell heavily again. People in the night market left the market in desperation, and the itinerant vendors were also cursing and preparing to close their stalls.

Winter in the Empire has never been so nasty, with four months of snowfall enough to make the most cheerful mind frown.

In the first-floor kitchen of 33 Walker Street, the flame in the bread oven was still flickering, but there was not much firewood left.

Most of the firewood had been burnt to ashes, with only two small sparks remaining, flickering on and off where the dim light of the kerosene lantern could not reach.

After Chen Yan digested the information in Nuomi Guo's words, he said curiously:

"Glutinous rice fruit, where did these eras you mentioned happen? Is it a certain continent? Or?"

Nuomi Guo and Ogami looked at each other, and after confirming Ogami's affirmative gaze, they replied: "To be precise, we are not going to Rhodeland by boat."

Chen Yan was very curious: "How did you get there? By carriage? Or by steam train?"

Nuomi Guo smiled bitterly: "You may not believe it, but we entered Rhodeland through a painting."

Chen Yan glanced at Jack Baldo, and successfully stared at him, not understanding what Nuomi Guo said.

"We only know that Rodland really exists... but it may be very far away from the empire, so far away that even ocean-going ferries cannot reach it, so far away... that it hardly exists in the world map."
