Chapter 1425: The Most Primitive Game
The expression on the hobbit housekeeper’s face became strange.
This time, for the first time, she did not agree to Zhang Heng’s request. Instead, she said, “I will help you deliver the invitation to Butler Kanser. However, I can not guarantee that he will not come to see you.”
However, before she could finish her sentence, she noticed that Zhang Heng’s gaze had changed. He shifted his gaze away from her and focused on a certain spot behind her.
There, Butler Kanser, who was wearing a tuxedo, was slowly walking over from the other end of the lawn. The setting sun had coated his body with a layer of afterglow, making him look somewhat sacred.
He waved at the female hobbit butler. “Thank you, Belladonna. Leave this to me.”
Hearing that, the female hobbit Butler bowed and left. Then, Kanser raised his head and smiled at Zhang Heng. “We meet again.”
“That’s right. It’s been almost a year since we first met,”Zhang Heng said.
“The deductive copy is from ‘Sherlock Holmes’, one of my favorite novels,”Kanser said, “Even though I’ve always felt that the guy wasn’t really suitable to be my roommate, it seems like you’re getting along quite well with him.”
“You gave me that pen when we first met. Is it because you already knew what would happen to me after that?”Zhang Heng looked directly into Kanser’s eyes.
“I’m not the go.”Kanser said, “I mean, I’m a god, but I’m not an omnipotent existence. I Can’t predict the future, but I can certainly lay some foreshadowing at the beginning of the story. As for whether these foreshadowing can be used, to be honest, I don’t know. So don’t think I’m that powerful. I only know your identity a little earlier than others. On the other hand, I’m curious about you. How Do you plan to deal with the current predicament?”
“The feelings in the story?”Zhang Heng asked.
“That’s right. Since you told Belladonna that you wanted to find me, you must have found a way to solve the problem. Do you have a way to restore your feelings?”
“No, but I know where the feelings that I lost are,”Zhang Heng said calmly.
Kanser’s eyes were initially filled with confusion, but after a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. His lips twitched, and finally, a look of realization appeared on his face.
“What are you saying about your past experiences?”
“That’s right.”Zhang Heng didn’t try to hide it anymore and directly stated his request, “I want to see those old friends again. They have the feelings that I left behind in them. I will once again collect these feelings and write them into my story to complete the final creation.”
“So that’s it?”Consul revealed a surprised smile, “So this is your final answer? Do you believe that there will be traces left behind? No, wait, the new story you’re going to write has the same theme. Could it be that you’ve already made up your mind to accept that Guy’s arrival and allow your soul to be destroyed?”
“This is part of my plan.”Zhang Heng’s expression was as calm as ever, as if he was facing the same problem, it was no different from the problems he had encountered in the different dungeons. They would be solved very quickly.
“I’ve asked Isis and Sage, and they both said that the soul can not be restored after it is destroyed.”
“They didn’t lie to you,”consul nodded.
“But after studying your birth, growth, and decline, I realized that there are no absolute rules for you gods. Just because something is impossible at this stage doesn’t mean that it is impossible. “As long as the public accepts it as much as possible, then new rules will naturally be formed.”
“So you wanted to create a new rule through novels to help you fight against the existence of the city under the ice.”Consel nodded, “I already knew this when you stepped into this instance dungeon, but what I don’t understand is why you have to take the risk to accept the descent. Is it because there isn’t enough time?”
“Time is one thing. With this dungeon, I can easily finish writing in it. However, even if I can publish it immediately after exiting the dungeon, I need to leave enough time for the readers to read and spread my novel. Most importantly, if my soul can not be completely destroyed, then I will forever be a mortal. Reality has proven that mortals can not be influenced by novels, no matter how popular they are.”
Zhang Heng paused for a moment before continuing, “Other than that, there are some other creative reasons. I need a dramatic ending.”
“I’m sure that when the others read the ending of this novel, they will be amazed by the final twist,”said consul. However, he suddenly changed the topic, “I roughly understand what you want to do, but your request is a little beyond my ability. I can only create an illusion of the author and their characters in the dungeon that belongs to me. I Can’t pull in the characters from other dungeons that you’ve experienced. Fortunately, I know someone who can do it.”
“Gam?”
“That’s right, but from what I know, he has already repaid the debt he owed you. Even though I know that guy likes you, he’s a stickler for rules. He can’t break his own rules and offer you any help without any conditions.”
“That’s fine, I’ll play a game with him,”Zhang Heng said.
“What Game?”Consul was curious.
“The oldest and most enduring game in the history of mankind.”
“You want him to gamble with you?”Consul frowned. “I already know your request, but what about your bargaining chip?”
“I’m trying to help him solve the problem caused by that guy from Underice City.”
Consul frowned slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Heng continued, “Also, I know what his real purpose in creating this game is. I also know that he has been searching for a way to free the gods from the shackles of fate. I might be able to help him with this matter.”
“How can you help?”
“There’s an old saying among us humans. Danger is also an opportunity. Gaime is unwilling to use violence, so he can’t really send the gods into his game world. However, if he can’t do it, I can, or more accurately, the guy who intends to take over my body can.”
“Are you trying to… ?”Consell was truly moved this time. His mouth was wide open.
“That’s right. If I’m not wrong, the reason why Gaime suddenly disappeared was because he was disappointed at the restarting of the war between the new and Old Gods. At the same time, he hoped that his departure would allow the gods of the two camps to reunite under the threat of the Master of the ice city. If that’s the case, why not take a step closer?”? “As long as Gaime appears a little later, I will be able to make all the gods willingly enter the game world he created to take refuge. The so-called proxy war was originally just his excessive plan, wasn’t it? He created that unparalleled game with the real purpose of creating a new home for the gods, so that they can get rid of the shackles of fate, and at the same time, they can live in peace with the humans.”
