Miku stared expressionlessly at the adventurer who stumbled out of the castle. When the other person, like the Filin adventurer just now, saw Miku and his group and rushed over with his eyes lit up, Miku reached out and pulled Christen and the Earth Spirit aside.
There was an obvious flash of confusion in the eyes of adventurer Lupo, and as he passed by Miku and his group, his body gradually turned into nothingness while still moving.
"This is..." Kristen asked in surprise. Is it a virtual projection? Or is it some kind of Originium technique that can create something like a virtual projection?
No matter which one it is, it looks too real.
"Remember what this adventurer said? A grand theater is being prepared."
Miku reminded Kristen.
"But the actors all seem to be ghosts partying all night? Are you saying these adventurers are ghosts?" Kristen said thoughtfully.
"To be precise, it should be the paper people held by the ghosts." Miku said with a smile and walked towards the castle gate.
"The role of these paper figures is to serve as the opening ceremony of the play, symbolizing the official appearance of the actors."
"So, all this is just a show?" Kristen, who understood what Miku meant, followed him in.
Before she had taken a few steps, Kristen almost bumped into the door and immediately came out.
On Miku.
The earth spirit that followed too closely almost bumped into Kristen's back.
"What happened?" Kristen asked quickly.
"Oh, the crew inside is decorating the stage." Miku said as he closed the castle door which was slightly open.
Accompanied by the sound of the machine locking with a "click", the castle door that had just been closed was opened again by Miku. Compared to the previous time when it was only opened a small gap, this time the whole door was opened by Miku.
Watching Miku closing and opening the nearly ten-meter-high stone door so easily and casually, Christen couldn't help but calculate the weight of the double-opening stone door in her mind.
Before they could figure out a result, Christen and the earth spirits beside her were attracted by the scene at the door.
It was a gorgeous sight completely different from the dilapidated appearance of the entire castle outside.
36: We are responsible for the Deus Ex Machina
Compared to the dilapidated exterior of the castle, the interior is a completely different scene.
Behind the castle gate that was closed and opened by Miku was a magnificent theater lobby.
There are elaborately carved wall panels, a three-tier gilded chandelier, and a floor with patterns of squares of different sizes. There is a large golden-red carpet on the floor, and at the end of the carpet is a long vaulted corridor.
Various exquisite figure sculptures are placed on both sides of the hall and corridor.
These sculptures have their arms open, hugging each other, or piercing themselves or others with sharp blades.
The slightly exaggerated shape seems to be a moment from a play.
In addition to these sculptures, there are also paintings on the ceiling of the hall and the vaults of the corridors, depicting one play after another.
Perhaps because they had spent a night in the temporary hut that Miku had "meticulously" decorated, neither Christen nor Di Ling were too moved by this similarly gorgeous decoration.
And compared to the cottage that Miku decorated, this hall lacks a bit of Victorian country style.
Kristen found it hard to understand how Miku had managed to combine the extravagance of Lancelar with the rural pastoral style of Victoria so perfectly.
More importantly, after experiencing the adventurer's incident just now, who knows whether all this splendor before our eyes is real or illusory.
The two people, who were not shocked by the scenes before them, focused their attention on the paintings hanging in the corridor and the sculptures on the wall.
Both of them wanted to judge in which country and in which period of this land the stories depicted took place through factors such as the clothing, movements, and expressions of the characters in the paintings and sculptures.
In this respect, Di Ling is not much worse than Christen.
Even though Di Ling is far behind General Kristen in academic level.
But as a wizard who graduated from a serious Leithanian school, she still knows something about the local customs and habits of various places... In addition, she has been doing geological exploration outside for many years and has traveled thousands of miles.
On the contrary, Kristen can only learn about these things from literature and Blue Cardwood's film and television dramas...more of the latter, the former humanities and history documents are not on Kristen's priority reading list.
Compared to the two ladies' serious research, Miku was very straightforward and started working directly with these paintings and statues.
This seemingly rude behavior would have been stopped by staff on site... Of course, they might not dare to stop it. After all, Miku was now dressed like a blood demon, and in this land he could stop children from crying at night.
However, there were no staff members, and the "ghost in the carnival" mentioned by the "adventurer" was nowhere to be seen.
"Which wizard's tower in Leitania is this?" Christen said to the earth spirit beside her, standing in front of a painting.
"What?" the boss asked, and Di Ling immediately shifted his attention from one of the twin sculptures to the painting in front of Kristen.
The painting in front of Christen was simple: a tall tower standing among the hills.
Judging from its straight-up-and-down style and the fact that the tallest buildings around it do not even reach the foundation of this tower, it is a very standard Leithanian wizard tower.
Those high tower wizards in Leithania like this feeling of overlooking the world...at least that's what Christen knows.
When the earth spirit saw the painting, he immediately determined that the tower belonged to a Leitanian tower wizard.
"It should be the tower of an ancient wizard." The Earth Spirit said so, and then explained why he came to this conclusion:
"Today's high tower wizards prefer to place their wizard towers in mobile cities as landmark buildings in a certain area."
After all, a tall tower in the wild would collapse too easily if it encountered an Originium disaster or something like that.
Although rebuilding it is not difficult for the tower wizard, it will waste a lot of research time.
Therefore, after the rise of mobile cities, most of the tower wizards moved their wizard towers into the mobile cities, and they became landmark buildings in the mobile cities.
"And now many tower wizards are not limited to tower-type buildings." The earth spirit continued.
Modern tower wizards also use other types of buildings as their own wizard towers, such as "skyscrapers", "schools",
Theater”, “Opera House”, “Gymnasium”.
Apart from being city landmarks, they have nothing to do with each other.
Tower wizards can also be called tower wizards. On the one hand, it is a tradition, and on the other hand, it describes the status of these wizards in the field of magic.
As for the symbolic "tower", it has long disappeared.
Therefore, the earth spirit can conclude that the tower in this painting is the wizard tower of an ancient Leithanian tower wizard.
Of course, even in ancient times, it might not be that ancient, since the rise of mobile cities has only been around for a few decades.
"Then can you recognize which tower wizard in the past this tower belonged to?" Christen nodded to the earth spirit's conclusion and asked.
"... emmm..." Di Ling looked at the painting in front of him very seriously for a while, and replied in a somewhat uncertain tone:
"It should have belonged to a tower wizard during the time of the Witch King."
Apart from this, the earth spirit didn't know. After all, even if he studied geography and humanities, it was impossible for him to know the style that every wizard in the tower liked.
Moreover, the tower in this painting does not have the family crest of any particular tower wizard.
It was a solitary tower standing on top of rolling hills, with a thick cloud on top that seemed to be brewing an Originium disaster.
Therefore, the earth spirits could only judge from some obvious details that this was a wizard tower from the era of the Witch King, but could not clearly determine which wizard in the tower belonged to it.
Seeing that the earth spirit could not determine which Witch-king of Leithania the tower in the painting belonged to, Kristen did not ask what story the painting told.
The transformations and sculptures that Christen had seen before should have told a story, so she was very curious about what this painting was about.
Christen guessed that it should be the story of a certain tower wizard. Due to the style, every tower wizard in Leitania has more or less some strange stories that sound completely fictional.
"If you want to know, just touch it yourself." Miku, who had already touched it around, said.
"Touch it?" Christen was stunned for a moment, then remembered Miku's impolite behavior of touching her.
Could this behavior trigger something?
"Oh, you may not be able to do it now." Miku said, remembering Kristen's current condition, "Then let the earth spirit take a look."
Having said that, regardless of whether Di Ling agreed or not, he directly grabbed one of Di Ling's hands and pressed it against the painting in front of him.
As soon as it was applied, it was put down immediately... To be precise, it was like being electrocuted and was instantly taken back by the earth spirit.
Just as Christen was about to ask the Earth Spirit what had happened, she saw that the Earth Spirit, who had been seriously analyzing the painting, was now in a trance and sweating profusely.
It looked like it had seen something too horrific and was running around the moving city.
Even the goat skeleton beast spirit behind him appeared vaguely, and the situation was not much better than that of the earth spirit itself.
The earth spirit, who had finally recovered his breath after a while, said in a fearful tone:
"I just got killed multiple times by a stone colossus."
"Not many times, just twenty-three times." Miku added.
"..." Twenty-three times is a lot, okay! ! The Earth Spirit complained loudly in his heart.
She was beaten to death in various ways, thrown to death by stones, hit to death by fists, crushed to death, and hit to death. She even found a high platform and lay on it, but was pulled down and killed by that damn stone statue.
"Twenty-three times? How long have you been in the painting?" It was obvious that what Christen cared more about was not how many times her new employee died, but how much time it took to die so many times.
While questioning, Christen also "looked" at Miku, and seemed to understand why Miku had just touched every painting and every statue.
"I...at least half an hour, right?" Di Ling said uncertainly.
Although it died easily every time, the earth spirit struggled every time before being killed by the stone giant.
The earth spirits, having died so many times and become numb, have no time to calculate the time.
"Forty-two minutes to be exact." Miku, who was responsible for sending the earth spirits into the painting and also for pulling the earth spirits out of the painting, explained again.
"...Have you read all the stories in these paintings and sculptures?" Christen asked Miku.
"Yeah, sure. It was fun," Miku admitted with a nod.
“…” Christen fell into silence.
Simply put, while Kristen and Di Ling were studying these works of art, Miku had already spent a lot of time facing these stories in this more direct way.
"It wasn't that long actually, because it wasn't all fighting." Miku said with an expression that said the Earth Spirit was just unlucky:
"For example, in one work, there are two talking paintings. The two paintings are arguing about whether Corsica I was a good emperor. After the argument, they asked me how I would evaluate Corsica I."
Perhaps because the work was about entering one painting to view two other paintings, which was a bit like a nesting doll, Miku remembered it very clearly.
"What do the two paintings say about King Corsica I?" Christen was a little surprised.
In these decades, the
Evaluation is a hot topic in both the historical and film and television circles.
As the last emperor of the Gallic Empire, it was Corsica I's "Second Economic Reform Law" that made the Gallic Empire the most powerful country in the world.
Some historians believe that it was the Gallic Empire that gave the "modern state" an accurate definition.
Lingone, the capital of the Gallic Empire, once became the center of Terra and was known as the "World City".
However, it was precisely because Corsica I launched a war aimed at unifying Terra that he died in the Battle of the Four Emperors and his country was destroyed, making the Gallic Empire completely become a passage in history books.
Therefore, the evaluation of her by later generations has always been mixed, and it is difficult to reach a consistent conclusion.
Christen was not surprised by the question, but because the question was raised by two paintings.
"Those two paintings should be of the former emperors of the Gallic Empire, probably..." Miku said uncertainly. After all, Miku didn't know who the former emperors of Gaul were in this world.
Louis XVI or Charlemagne.
"Oh?" Christen still didn't understand why a painting could speak, but when it came to the idealistic powers of those wizards, there was no need to understand it too clearly.
What Kristen was curious about now was how Miku would answer this question.
"How did I answer? Even though it was a choice between two options and I would pass no matter which answer I gave, I still had a good discussion with the two paintings," Miku said to Christen.
Because of the discussion, Miku stayed in the room with the two paintings longer than in the other rooms.
It was like an ordinary room that he fought right away, for example, when he hammered the stone colossus of the earth spirit twenty-three times, Miku turned the opponent into a colossus of stone in just a few moves.
It can be said to be a speed pass to the end.
"? What did you discuss?" Kristen asked curiously.
"I discussed with the two paintings the geographical location, development plans, diplomacy, agriculture, technology, and military policies of the Gallic Empire."
Miku replied with a smile on his face.
“???” Not only Christen was confused, but the earth spirit who had recovered his breath beside her also had a confused look on his face.
"After all, the losers are war criminals, and being bad is the original sin. I helped the emperor in the painting and analyzed the reasons for Corsica I's failure and the options for changing the outcome."
Miku said, spreading his hands.
To be precise, what Micou said is just theory, because up to now Micou is not very clear about the status of the Gallic Empire in this world.
