The environment on the lower level was clearly differentiated, and they had stepped out of that cycle.
"Oh, oh, oh~ It's just a small device. It's useless in the eyes of the God of Justice!"
"Wow, Lady Furninna is amazing."
Eris said in a flat tone, clapping her hands with a blank expression.
Fu Nina blushed.
"Humph! That's right, no matter what happens, just believe in me, the God of Justice!"
"Well, Lady Funinna is amazing."
Eris continued to read and applaud softly.
In fact, Finnina knew that Eris was just reminding her, but she still accepted the compliment with a blushing face.
Finina knew that under Eris's keen observation, her true colors were completely exposed. She was afraid that Eris had already confirmed a lot of real information. She just didn't want to reveal it, so Eris never asked questions and always tried to praise her.
Furninna was well aware of this unconditional accommodation and consideration.
Finnina silently took Eris's hand, her pretty face shy, and said coquettishly:
"So what do we do next, Eris?"
"Now that we have cracked it, we might as well explore it to the end. What do you think, Lady Funinna?"
"Okay! Let's keep exploring!"
Eris's answer naturally touched upon Finina's adventurous spirit.
The two continued to move upwards.
After passing several flooded floors, they came to a special place.
It was a huge and spacious hall, with a large round table in the center and bookshelves filled with books. On the wall opposite the entrance was a round window made of blue glazed glass, which was beautifully shaped like a complex clock. Magnificent light shone in from the window, decorating the conference hall into a quiet and beautiful atmosphere.
“So clean, not even a stain.”
Finnina raised her hand and touched the red cloth table mat of the round table with her fingertips. Not feeling any dampness, she immediately raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Eris looked up at the huge clock with a green glazed base and slowly turning golden gears, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Chapter 186 This thing is of high quality!
"The clock and the emblem on the tablecloth, I remember it was... the Narcissus Cross Society!"
After observing for a while, Finna finally revealed her foundation as a 500-year-old immortal.
"The Narcissus Cross Society?"
Eris asked in a questioning tone and tilted her head stupidly.
Furninna picked up a book from the table and opened it, but her eyes were not focused on the pages, but immersed in past memories.
"That was almost 400 years ago. I had just started to govern at that time, and Maple Stage was hit by a series of disasters. The conflicts between the Evil Tribe and the people were becoming increasingly prominent... I had no experience at all, and I had to figure everything out and think about it on my own. Every day was very busy."
"Rene de Petrie, I remember this name, the founder of the Narcissus Cross Society, a genius scholar who was once as famous as Master Alain Guillotin of the [Master of Wonders]."
"The Narcissus Cross Society was originally just an academic faction in the Academy of Natural Philosophy, led by Rene, specializing in some research on the abyss and the primordial fetal sea... These are very dangerous topics, but they are all closely related to Maple Dan. At that time, I was busy with government affairs, and I also felt that Maple Dan needed some preparations for a rainy day, so I relaxed the restrictions on them."
As Furninha recalled and spoke, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"Later, they withdrew from the Academy of Natural Philosophy due to ideological conflicts and became an independent academic society. This is normal. Rene is a genius, and Master Alan is even more of a genius. They have their own paths, which is understandable. But I didn't expect Rene to take the Narcissus Cross Society to the extreme. They explored the power of the abyss, carried out human body transformation, and even dissolved the agents sent by the Shadow Court to investigate the situation. In the end, they even tried to activate the giant beast Erinaceus..."
Finna paused and looked at Eris.
"I don't mean to blame you. This has nothing to do with you, Eris!"
The Japanese invasion brought a lot of shock to Fengdan, and some soldiers were sacrificed.
But Eris herself had no ill intentions, and after realizing the situation, she chose to commit suicide, which was equivalent to atonement by death.
It has been more than 400 years now. What does it matter if the accounts are still not settled?
Ask Eris to commit suicide again?
But now, even if we ignore the emotional factors and only consider the interests, in order to crack the prophecy and protect the future of Maple Dan, Eris's power is indispensable.
Finna bit her lip and looked at Eris with an extremely complicated look.
Eris quietly floated over, took Finnina's hand and placed it on her head, then rubbed it gently, like a well-behaved puppy trying to please its owner.
“Pfft! What are you doing? It’s all in the past… Don’t cause trouble again, understand, Eris?”
"Yes, Lady Finina."
Eris stared into Finnina's eyes with her clear and beautiful eyes, which seemed to be filled with tenderness and attachment.
Finnina patted Eris's head, sighed, and gradually suppressed the complicated things that were beyond her control. Then, she continued:
"They have seriously violated MapleStory law and threatened the safety of all MapleStory citizens. Villette declared the Narcissus Cross guilty, and I sent the main force of the Shadow Hunters to capture them. Later, the two sides had a decisive battle in your body... Do you remember it, Eris?"
"Yes. Many people are fighting."
"Yes, it was a fierce battle. Even Master Alan's sister Marian died in that battle. Fortunately, the madness of the Narcissus Cross Society was finally stopped, and the relevant criminals were basically punished. For Feng Dan, it was a good ending."
Finna shook her head with emotion, and it seemed that she was also deeply impressed by that period of history.
Afterwards, Fu Nina looked around the hall and said:
"I roughly know where this place is. I guess this might be the orphanage where René, Master Alan, Marian and others stayed. It has special meaning to René, so he came back here and transformed it into a private territory and an important place for the association. The water-resistant structure and the previous maze are probably the protective devices set up by the Narcissus Cross Association. After 400 years, it can still maintain this state. René is indeed a genius, but it's a pity that he took the wrong path."
Furninha sighed again.
【Mechanical Man】Master Alan discovered the Manghuang energy system and built the foundation of the entire Maple Stage clockwork technology. This is undoubtedly a great achievement that changed the world.
Rene was once as famous as Alain, and his genius was the reason why he was able to build an academic faction. If he had not gone astray, but created useful theories and inventions like Master Alain, perhaps Maple would be better now.
Furninna sat on a chair next to the round table and sighed as she looked at the conference room.
Eris quietly came to the bookshelf outside, waved her hand, and books flew past her eyes, turning the pages quickly.
'These are all serious professional books and research materials. It seems that the owner of the dream is a knowledgeable person? Or, the books are actually existing books, but they are just protected by the power of dreams? Never mind, it doesn't matter. What matters is the books themselves.'
The power of reason, multiple thinking circuits, and the World Tree's unique memory and analytical abilities allowed Eris to quickly digest the important research data of the Narcissus Cross Society.
'World Tree, search for information related to the Narcissus Cross Society.'
[Report, the leader of the Narcissus Cross Society, René de Petrich, has no death record. The deputy leader, Jacob Ingold, has no death record. The remaining 46 official members have no record. In addition, according to the memories of the same generation of Shadow Court members, Marian Guillotin mentioned by Furninna has died, but the World Tree has no death record. ]
'oh? ’
Eris paused and narrowed her eyes slightly.
This is very interesting.
There is no record of death. Does that mean they are all alive, or... their souls and memories have gone somewhere else?
Then who is the owner of this dream now, or who are the owners of these missing persons?
Finna took a break, but this time, it was Eris' turn to be interested in exploring and deciphering the mystery.
'Abyss, human body transformation, consciousness fusion and separation, primordial fetal sea water, Narcissus Cross Sword... World style?'
Eris was finally startled and looked up at the huge clock above her head again.
Eris pondered for a moment, waved her hand, took out the cake and black tea, and quietly placed them next to Finina who was sitting at the round table.
Then she brought more information before her eyes and scanned it.
'World Tree, Primal Angel, construct a world-like mathematical model and verify its correctness!'
【I'm doing it.】×2
The angels perked up.
This thing is of high quality!
Chapter 187: Worth the Price
[When we were testing Istaru's power, we discovered that Teyvat's existence is very special. It can be regarded as a huge data body, with a set of data that can tell everything in the world. If you understand this logic, theoretically, you can tell fortunes within the scope of Teyvat, which is the principle of Teyvat astrology.]
【But astrology is more about summarizing empirical rules and building a mini horoscope that fits the stars. They don’t calculate fortunes directly, but use the mini horoscope to predict the trajectory of the stars and then infer the fate! �
[The world type is another concept. He turned the things in the world into digital elements and constructed a calculation formula to get to the essence. He is a genius who almost completely approaches the question of the Teyvat data body! ]
While digesting the relevant information from around the world, Angel praised Rene generously.
Angels come from a broader world that relies on mathematical logic, and they are well aware of the value of this world.
Character is character, and scholarship is scholarship.
Angels have not yet gained a detailed understanding of Rene himself. But based on this world view, Angels are willing to call him the most accomplished scholar Teyvat has ever encountered.
Lisa's achievements are far inferior to his. Maybe she has the potential, but unfortunately she stopped at that. Albedo also has that possibility. If we give him a direction, maybe he can also create amazing miracles, but at least for now, his achievements are far from reaching the height of this formula.
"Master Alan needs your special attention. As a genius who has overshadowed Master Rene, his academic achievements should also bring many surprises."
【Notice, World Tree is organizing the relevant content and will share it with you later. 】
'What are the verification results? '
[Accurate, close to the essence of the world of Teyvat. 】
'The point is not the formula itself, but the logic and methodology he used to build it. They will be surprised when they take this back.'
Eris closed the last file and smiled.
How to apply it is a matter of the future, what is important is the theory itself. It is like the breakthrough from 0 to 1, the difference between having it and not having it.
"Eris, have you finished reading it? Is that method enough to read it?"
Furninna came over with a small cake in her hand, eating it.
She saw Eris controlling the books, flipping the pages quickly as they flew past her eyes. The scene was even more quantum than quantum reading.
It makes people wonder, is he reading or playing?
Eris nodded.
"You can read it. I have written it down."
"Huh? Your reading ability and memory are so strong?"
"Lady Furninna, Eris just doesn't understand humans very well, but she knows a lot of knowledge beyond humans."
This is a lie.
She is originally a human being, so she naturally knows a lot about human nature. Otherwise, how could so many character characters be established?
Furninna blinked innocently, nodded, and believed it.
After all, no one knows what the beast's personality is like, so no one understands the beast better than the beast itself. Eris said so, so Finina naturally believed it.
"So, is it all over?"
Fu Nina ate the cake with a somewhat depressed tone.
Adventure is fun. Unexpected places, magical mazes, and the experience of seeing the base of the society 400 years ago all made Funinna, who has been closed off for many years, happy.
Unfortunately, that's all we can do.
"Lady Finina, the underwater world is very vast, and there are countless secret places on the ground."
"Yes!"
Fu Nina suddenly had an idea.
With such a powerful Eris around, where in the vast Maple Garden could she not go and have a look? She no longer had to confine herself to the small plot of land between Mo Mang Palace and Maple Garden every day for safety!
Fu Nina laughed and said:
"Then let's go back."
Eris hesitated for a moment.
In fact, I wanted to have a chat with the owner of the dream, but he didn't seem to welcome outsiders. In Eris's perception, the person on the other side should be a pure water elf with decent strength, and he didn't look like he was in a bad condition. In addition, it was almost dark outside, and if I didn't go back, Mo Mang Palace would be worried.
Eris took the cake plate from Finnina and held her hand.
"Okay, Lady Furninha... Oh, before that, there is one more thing."
Eris raised her hand and pointed toward the stairs leading to the entrance.
