Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 281 Symbolism
According to the description of the female elf, the golden apple is a gift from the Elf King to this land, and anyone who eats the golden apple can gain extraordinary power.

This kind of extraordinary power was originally impossible to cultivate, and it was fixed from the moment the golden apple was eaten. However, the golden apple has been passed down for so many years, and there are too many elves who have eaten the golden apple.

Therefore, there are always some elves with extraordinary talents. They not only gain extraordinary powers, but also gradually become proficient in using and enhancing this power, and even one day in the future, they will comprehend other extraordinary powers.

Lewis became more and more curious about the existence of the golden apple. As everyone knows, the power of the potion cannot be enhanced.

There is only so much power contained in a potion after drinking it, and one can only become more and more proficient through subsequent development and mastery.

But golden apples are different. Not only can this kind of item allow people to gain extraordinary powers, but it is also possible to achieve progress through acquired training, just like cultivation.

"The Western Continent has not desecrated the stone tablets. The way they obtain supernatural powers may be different from ours. Finding the golden apple is my attempt to understand the supernatural system of the Western Continent."

Thinking of this, Lewis decided to stay temporarily in the elves' tribe until he could take a look at the golden apple that was born.

The female elf seemed to be in a good mood. She said she would prepare a banquet for Lewis, and then went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Mr. Lewis, breakfast is ready."

After a while, the female elf called Lewis, and Lewis walked out of the room and looked at the breakfast on the dining table.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

It turned out to be hot pot, a hot pot that you eat with chopsticks.

Put fresh meat slices, fruits, mushrooms and other ingredients in it, and pair it with special dipping sauce, and the taste is quite unique.

This hot pot is similar to the hot pot he has eaten before, but there are some differences in the subtle taste.

For example, the dipping sauce here does not contain chili peppers, and the taste is mainly salty and fragrant.

“Miss Elf, I haven’t asked your name yet.” Lewis said, putting down the chopsticks in his hand. He wanted to know if the names of people in the Western Continent were different from where he was before.

"Fiona Luke, this is my real life, but people in the tribe don't call me that. They call me the goddess. All female elves who eat the golden apple are called goddesses." The female elf explained to Lewis while stuffing food into her mouth.

Although the elves here speak fluent Chinese, their naming is no different from that of places outside the Western Continent.

"Goddess? So, the goddess and the venomous snake are natural enemies? One symbolizes angels, and the other symbolizes demons?"

Lewis asked casually, the goddess and the serpent seemed to symbolize something, and in terms of mysticism, the symbolic meaning was very obvious.

Fiona frowned, she thought for a while, and said affirmatively:

"Perhaps you are right. We and the poisonous snakes are indeed enemies, enemies that have been passed down from generation to generation. Especially when the golden apples are about to mature, the poisonous snakes always try to attack us."

Lewis clicked his half-high silk hat as he quietly savored the food, which helped to maintain his own humanity.

Those venomous snakes were also very strange. So many venomous snakes died last night, but not a single one of them was a physical entity. Or maybe all the venomous snakes were physical entities, but they were not real creatures.

As for the golden apple and the development of supernatural powers in the Western Continent, Lewis didn't need to think about it now. As long as he got the golden apple and tried to divine, he could know a lot of things. Diviners are so convenient. After finishing this hearty breakfast, Lewis talked to Fiona again and asked:
"How many years does it take for the golden apple to mature?"

"For ten years, every summer in the tenth year, the golden apple will appear. It has no growing period and is ripe as soon as it appears," Fiona explained.

"Since you are not the first goddess, then where did the previous goddesses go? As far as I know, elves are a long-lived race, and their lifespan is not short."

Fiona’s face suddenly became embarrassed, and Lewis was not in a hurry to know the truth. He touched Fiona’s wrist and took away the other party’s bad luck.

Fiona without bad luck will appear very lucky, and it is not impossible for her to pick up a golden apple directly when she goes out.

After breakfast, Lewis sent Fiona away. He stayed in a separate room, built a sealed spiritual wall, and tried to enter the gray fog.

“Fusheng Xuanhuang Immortal Lord;
Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun;

Fusheng Xuanhuang God;

Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun..."

Every time Lewis recited a spell in the Hermetic language, he took a step backwards, until after reciting four sentences, a deep red burst appeared in front of his eyes.

There was a dense stream of muttering in his ears. When it stopped, he came above the gray fog and saw the tall light gate and cocoon in front of him.

The golden nanmu wood and benches that appeared before had long disappeared, and the place became empty again.

“Now, Klein’s control over Sefirah Castle is getting deeper and deeper. Perhaps in the near future, he will be able to explore this area.

If Klein discovered that someone had been to the depths of Sefirah Castle, it would definitely arouse suspicion and even lead to conflict. "

Lewis sighed. The Lord of Mysteries was like a thief. In order to resurrect himself, He needed to arrange everything properly until Klein took the bait.

After confirming that he could still actively enter Sefirah Castle, Lewis left immediately. He was considering whether he should find a way to remind Klein.

Of course, it was just a thought. His fate was being controlled by the Lord of Mysteries. This was more than just a warning.

When he opened his eyes again, Lewis had returned to the room of the female elf Fiona. He left the room and asked the elves in the tribe about the surrounding situation.

According to the elves, the forest where the elves lived was just an insignificant piece of land, and a larger area of ​​land was ruled by humans.

Humans have the ability to build tall buildings, but that's just tall buildings. There are no steam engines as Lewis mentioned, nor are there guns and cannons. Whether it's human society or elven society, their civilization is at a level similar to that of a feudal dynasty.

"It's strange that there are no powerful offensive weapons even though there are tall buildings."

Lewis thought about it for a while and soon understood the reason for the uneven development of civilization. Both the outside world and the Western Continent had already experienced a destruction and civilization had disappeared.

Those advanced civilizations are likely to be left behind by survivors or time travelers, and that survivor is not omnipotent.
