Chapter 107 Chapter 106

"My Domain of Annihilation is also a rich gift to you." Azura smiled, "Isn't your goal to train more spellcasters to explore magic for you? All mortals who believe in me from now on, their All souls belong to you."

"What are the conditions?"

"Take me out of this universe. Out of this dream. I'm going to a wider world."

Linde thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "I don't need your Annihilation Domain, I have my own tower. The Silver City under your rule is peaceful and prosperous, and the Winterhold I shelter is crude and primitive, but the faces of the people And smiles too."

"So, this is rejection?" Azura looked sad.

"No, we can still make friends. I'm actually willing to take friends on a trip. It's such a small request that I really don't want to sacrifice my entire family."

"You don't understand what this means to me, Lynd. Do you know the truth of this universe? Do you know how it came into being?"

"I have some understanding. This universe may be a dream."

"Yes, a dream of the One True God. We (referring to the gods of this world) are all prisoners trapped in a dream. Mortals are muddled, driven by the cycle of life and death, and have the bliss of ignorance. We are awake I know the facts clearly, and I am extremely desperate.”

If a metaphor must be given to the universe, it is somewhat reasonable to compare it to a dream.

On the road of exploring the origin of the universe, Linde has already discovered some clues. From a certain point of view, the universe can indeed be regarded as a dream, whether it is the universe of the world of "Harry Potter", the universe of the world of "The Elder Scrolls", or the universe of "Elden's Ring".

A very simple proof is thought strings. There is no difference between the thinking strings of the universe and the thinking strings of human souls, and they even have the same origin.

The universe has memory, but no self-awareness, just like a dreamer has no self-consciousness. It is blind, chaotic, stupid. The universe needs life to know itself for it. Each individual is therefore the soul of the universe—a unique soul.

However, for the beings in the world of "The Elder Scrolls", it is very dangerous to realize the fact that they are living in a dream, and they will be "zero-sum", that is, "disappear". Legend has it that the dwarves (Dwemer) family disappeared as a whole because of zero sum, and the once glorious civilization is only left with ancient ruins scattered all over the place.

Linde learned of the bitterness of being a god from Azura.

They can realize that they are in a dream, and although they will not be zero-summed because of this, they cannot escape from the dream. I can only witness the rise and fall of the mortal world over and over again, hoping that in a certain reincarnation, there will be an accidental son who breaks the dream.

New things are born in the constant repetition of old things.

It's just that the process can be horribly long. Some gods are happy with it, while others can't bear such boring repetition. They are eager to breathe, and want to receive some information from outside the dream world.

Linde couldn't help sighing, "God is also a human being. All love is evil, as expected."

Azura is not dissatisfied with his words, as a rare demon god who walks in the world in a humanoid form, Azura is more able to empathize with mortals, and is also easily influenced by human nature. This also makes her acting style a little more human.

"Then, I am willing to be your friend." Azura took off a flower and pinned it on her temples, with an indescribable charm, "Or, if you want a more intimate relationship, I can also agree."

Linde was indifferent to this, "Let's stay at the level of friends. Now, I invite you to be a distinguished guest of Gautami's date."

"my pleasure."

They reached out to each other, and Azura's fingertips touched Lind's.

A silver key is passed from the fingertips, which is the proof of the access to the library tower.

Linde stood up and invited Azura to enter his domain, "Then, please allow me to be a landlord."

Azura followed in his footsteps through the portal.

Endless hexagonal corridors, high false suns, and the Eye of Magnus. These three characteristics suffice to summarize the field.

Azura stood on the edge of the endless ventilation shaft in the center of the corridor, looking up.

The library tower is not a place with any scenery, but everyone's study room is unique. Linde gave the members of the tower a lot of autonomy, allowing them to modify their rooms at will.

"Are you a little disappointed?" Linde brought tea to the guests, and they talked peacefully leaning on the railing.

"Is this what the universe looks like in your mind?" Azura commented, "It's somewhat similar to Hermaeus' Alien Domain."

Linde pointed to the Eye of Magnus, "I remember you invited me to discuss the future of this world. If I take the Eye of Magnus, will it affect the reincarnation of the mortal world?"

Azura nodded slightly when she heard the words, "The Eye of Magnus reflects the mirror image of the world and stores the traces of history. It is also the embryo of the new world. Magnus left this artifact just for the sake of time. In the end, after Alduin devoured the world, he designed the form of Mengdas again, so that the two mortal worlds before and after would not deviate too much."

So the Eye of Magnus is equivalent to a data storage.

Linde nodded, "I will return the Eye of Magnus before Alduin devours the world."

"Maybe it's a good thing you took it away." Azura gave him an unexpected answer, "Before Magnus left his eyes, every restart would design a new Mundus. It's fun and varied."

"He's tired of designing the world?"

"Yes, Magnus, he found that the world he designed was becoming more and more similar, and was afraid of losing creativity and imagination, so he gouged out his eyes."

"Sounds like a paranoid artist." Imagine a sun god using the world as a canvas, painting over and over again, embellishing everything on the planet, mountains and rivers, plants, animals and birds, natural changes, and root frames. Such crazy work is indeed impressive. admire.

"His body is trapped in the passage of the sun, and he has to witness the battle between dragons and snakes again and again. Some paranoia is understandable."

Azura said that Linde didn't have to rush to return the Eye of Magnus, and take it to see more different worlds, "All artifacts have missions. If Magnus doesn't want you to get his eyes, then you should start It cannot be touched. Since it falls into your hands, it means that it has been approved by him."

Linde nodded, "Take His eyes, that's fine."

He already understood that this meeting with Azura was actually a little deceived. Her purpose was not to recover the Eye of Magnus at all, but simply to establish a relationship with Linde so that she could smuggle to other places. world.

Azura was not ashamed of this at all, and if Linde asked her, she would admit it openly.

"Ms. Azura, it's time for us to discuss your personal freedom." Linde said softly, "I can take you out of this universe, but you must maintain the form of a mortal."

"Mortals are too fragile." Azura didn't complain, but simply told the truth, "but it's also very interesting."

"I believe you have the means to protect yourself. Also, are you interested in giving yourself a mortal name?"

"It seems that you have prepared an errand for me." Azura seemed to be able to read minds, she guessed Linde's plan, "I don't mind imparting knowledge to your followers, then call me Moon Shadow .”
