People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 310 So, what is the price?

Let’s not talk about the “unknown creature” who is thinking about life nearby.

If Mona had any questions she wanted to ask Lin Feng, why didn't she ask them during the conversation just now, but came to him alone?

Then we have to mention the strong shock that a certain "ordinary scholar" gave her.

Unlike those scammers who rely on rhetoric, the astrologer Mona inherited is actually a profession that uses one's own knowledge to pursue the "truth".

And because of the connection between water mirror divination and the constellation of destiny, her perception of "fate" is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

——Generally speaking, the more beings a person is connected to, the greater the vortex of fate around him will be.

Although every action of such an individual has a huge impact, it is still more difficult for them to escape the shackles of fate, just like a flying insect entangled in a spider web.

But if the traveler gave her the feeling of being an incredible person who was clearly entangled but was able to escape safely from countless spider webs without being affected.

Then the person in front of me is just like a black hole of extremely huge mass in the destiny system. It is impossible to bypass it without paying attention.
He never needed to break away from fate, on the contrary, his own quality even caused the entire fate system to tilt, as if the fate of most of the world had flowed into his hands.

Therefore, just because she looked over there after introducing herself, this unprecedented fluctuation of fate made Mona fall into a state similar to dizziness.
That's why she seemed very silent during the conversation just now.

As for now
Because I accidentally made eye contact with the other person in this state,

Even though Mona wanted to look away after realizing that something was wrong, it was like touching an untouchable higher being with a human body.
She felt like those scholars in Xumi who had gone mad in pursuit of gods, and her sanity was at risk.
Ugh. I was just daydreaming and wanted to come over to apologize for my rude behavior.

By the way, are there any extra errands I can do? Why did we end up like this after we accidentally looked at each other?
Feeling that she was really unlucky on this trip, Mona's remaining sanity was filled with despair.

"Alas, you astrologers should be more careful in Liyue Harbor. If you can't help it, you can just wear sunglasses."

Scholars who knew Xumi would go crazy if they took a glance at the forbidden knowledge, and would become fanatical believers if they saw a stray soldier.

Lin Feng, who didn't even know what he was like, felt that he might be quite unfriendly to these astrologers.

——Apart from the deeper things, I now not only have the fused power of the abyss and the forbidden knowledge intercepted by Apep, but also the two ancient dragon powers that have not yet been completely settled.
These things may be difficult for ordinary people to detect, but the unfortunate child Mona seems to be inexplicably in a state of high inspiration close to meditation.
If thrown into a certain world view, it would be a team-destroying engine among team-destroying engines, the kind that will be beaten up by teammates.

While complaining, he helped Mona in front of him to stabilize her mental state.
Lin Feng, who felt that he was not so "indescribable", was also very curious about what the girl in front of him had seen that she shouldn't have seen, and that she couldn't even maintain her rationality.

"."

".How is your condition? Are you more awake?"

"Well"

"Don't open your eyes yet, put on these glasses first.
Even if your mind returns to normal, you are still in a state where you can easily see things beyond your understanding.
So I suggest that in the next period of time, whenever you go out, it is best to wear protective measures."

"."

The sound in her ears was a little vague, and Mona felt as if her consciousness was sinking into an endless dark abyss.
In that previous moment, she felt like a meteorite caught by a dark star.
Simply because he was close to an existence whose "mass" was thousands and tens of thousands times greater than his own, he was dragged into the endless void without any resistance.

Such a discovery not only brought direct spiritual oppression, but also broke the cognition that "power is nothing compared to truth" that their lineage has always adhered to.

——In the previous divination process, Mona had also observed beings with powerful powers.

But for astrologers, having power is certainly a good thing, but compared with the supreme "reason", "force" is really a small concept.

According to the classics passed down by their lineage, even the gods high above are bound by the principles of the operation of the world, and the lifelong goal of these astrologers is to seek the ultimate truth of the world hidden in the vast starry sky.

Therefore, even though she had previously obtained the "Eye of God", which was regarded by the world as a symbol of God's favor, she did not care much about this kind of thing.

But at this moment, because she witnessed some unimaginable existence, the ideals she had always adhered to were shaken.

——Faced with an existence so powerful that it seems to be able to overturn the world at any time, can even the principles of how the world works really restrain it in the slightest?

If an individual can compile rules and revise the truth through will alone, then compared to the truth, extreme power may be a more "real" existence.

The more she thought about it, the clearer she became. Just when Mona felt that she was extremely clear-headed and was about to reach a state beyond mortals,
Accompanied by a faint sigh, a powerful blow to the head directly interrupted this rare "enlightenment".

"——Ouch, who is hitting me?!"

"——I am clearly approaching the end of the world!"

Unable to react to her situation for a moment, the genius astrologer girl who was about to sit at the same table with the "mad scholar" angrily began to look for the culprit who had interrupted her approach to the truth.

".Three, two, one, close your eyes, take a deep breath,
Think about what you are here to do, think about your name and your past experiences."

Clearly filled with anger and resentment,

But after hearing this, Mona found that she had obeyed the other party's instructions unconsciously.
Even at this moment, there was no thought of rejecting this option in my mind.

".Name? .Purpose?"

"."

!!!

Suddenly I realized something was wrong.

Mona closed her eyes again, calmed down, and finally remembered her name and the purpose of her visit with help.
Thinking of the predecessors who were recorded as negative examples in the past, she realized with horror that what she had just done was not a manifestation of "enlightenment" or "understanding everything".

Instead, he is in an extremely dangerous state, only a fine line away from paranoia and madness!
A moment later, when Mona, who was wearing green-rimmed square glasses and whose aura gradually calmed down, opened her eyes,
Recalling her behavior just now, she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

But after all, I can stay normal now, instead of spending the rest of my life in madness, all thanks to the generosity and help of this great being in front of me.
She bowed 90 degrees and expressed her gratitude sincerely:

"——Thank you for not taking my offense to heart. I, Astrologis Mona Megistus, swear on my real name that I will do everything I can to repay your kindness in the future!"

"."

Feeling her current state, Mona's gratitude at this moment is extremely real.

After experiencing this accident, she finally understood why her three companions all looked so agreeable when they mentioned this scholar. He was indeed an extremely friendly and great being!

——And the reason why she made this oath, which is considered a taboo in mysticism and is basically equivalent to handing her fate over to others, is actually because she felt the changes happening to herself.

If what is happening now is not an illusion,
Then it is very likely that the "ordinary scholar" in front of her not only helped her stabilize her mental state, but also helped her sort out the knowledge she gained from this accident!

Since she chose to do this when she didn't have to help at all, even though she didn't know what she could do for the other person, Mona could only repay him with the utmost sincerity.

".Well, it doesn't have to be so formal.

What you should be most thankful for is that you are indeed lucky, at least you didn't see anything that you absolutely shouldn't see."

Based on the changes in Mona, Lin Feng could roughly judge that the poor girl in front of him should not have seen any mental pollutants such as forbidden knowledge.
The reason why he suffered a mental shock was simply because he, as a mortal, looked directly at the "Power of Grass", which is equivalent to the underlying rules of the world, and came into contact with the rules of this world in the most direct way.

A large amount of knowledge came into Mona's mind in an instant. Although she could not absorb all of it for the time being due to her individual tolerance, this was indeed a rare opportunity.

——As for now, the most direct impact is probably receiving the blessing of the grass element.

The vitality will be stronger, the ability to adapt to different situations will be stronger, and some "memories" can be obtained from plants in a limited way.

Lin Feng was worried that Mona would continue to look around because of what she had just gained. He knew that the density of gods in Liyue Harbor was very high and that she would be caught again if she was not careful.

He shook his head and warned seriously:

"Although you have gained a lot this time, it is because everything happened by chance, and I just had time to help you.

But fate will not always favor someone, and not all beings have the ability to stabilize your spirit."

"——If you don't take the appropriate precautions seriously, there may be no chance of recovery next time."

After a brief pause, he noticed that Mona had fully understood what he meant.
In order to make her pay more attention to this matter, Lin Feng, who had unexpectedly realized how talented the astrologer in front of him was, continued to speak:
"——Looking directly at the rules of the world with a mortal body, even if what you understand is just a drop in the ocean, your current state actually still has considerable hidden dangers."

"You should know that the principle of "equivalent exchange" is widely practiced in mysticism.
Therefore, as the price of this gift, you will have two choices:

First, keep the knowledge you have gained from me, and I will help you maintain your mental stability.

But after you grow up, you need to help the Minglun School compile a complete book containing your astrological knowledge at a time that I judge is appropriate, and teach in the Jiaoling Academy for at least ten years.

Second, eliminate the knowledge that you cannot understand temporarily, reduce mental stress, and return to your normal life.

"——Thank you for your gift, I choose the first one!"

After listening to the options given by Lin Feng, Mona had almost no time to hesitate and chose to keep the knowledge she had gained.

——Although it is extremely dangerous to look directly at the great existence, she has not forgotten what she just saw.

It was not just the surging torrent of fate. In that moment before, she seemed to see the laws of the entire world constantly shifting between rejection and affinity, with the other party as the center.
Such an existence is even far better than the descriptions of gods in books. Generally speaking, it can only appear in legends and there is no chance of it being witnessed by mortals!
The knowledge of Teyvat is powerful. The gifts from the grass element on me are actually because of this information that I may never have the chance to understand in my lifetime.
But if one day in the future, her talent is enough to support her to fully digest this knowledge, perhaps she can also gain further hope...

"Okay, then accept this gift with peace of mind.

I believe that with your talent, your contribution to astrology in the future will be equal to the value of this gift."

He nodded, and added some extra functions to the glasses to stabilize his mind.

With just a little effort, Lin Feng was able to recruit a genius for the Academy of Education whose future level would most likely far exceed that of the "Sage". Lin Feng did not feel that he would suffer any loss.

It didn't take him long to upgrade this little gift. Although on weekdays, he would probably spend more time chatting with this genius astrologer.
But because there were some other things to do in the Guiliyuan area, Lin Feng finally reminded everyone of the recent precautions and planned to turn around and leave.

"."

".Well, thank you very much for your help,
But if I want to pay my respects to you in the future, I don’t know where I should go.”

I vaguely guessed the other party's identity from the blessing of the grass element I received.

But because this power is too strong, even far beyond the level of gods, Mona is not very confident in her guess.

——There are two gods in Xumi. If one of them is so powerful, it is hard to imagine what kind of terrible power the other one will have.

".Well, my initial introduction did not conceal anything.
Objectively speaking, in terms of my academic contributions, I can only be considered an ordinary scholar. "

"But if you want to ask the people of Xumi what I am called,
——Then I think "God of Authority", "God of Plants", and "God of All Spirits" might be names you are more familiar with."

I know Mona won't say anything even if she finds out.

Lin Feng, who was about to leave, waved his hand and answered the doubts of this future outstanding employee with his increasingly long official title in the Academy of Teachings.
