Chapter 160: The Joker’s Asking for Help (monthly tickets will add more updates)
Ever since the incident in Custer City, I don’t know whether it was because of Tina’s influence or other reasons, but the Joker has not appeared again.
Although the clown has caused him a lot of trouble, he is still very grateful for the clown's efforts in resurrecting Tina last time.
Thinking of this, Wayne's face gradually returned to calm, and he raised his hand to say hello, "We meet again, Mr. Leonard." "
I am very happy to see that you still retain some kindness and sense, young Mr. Wizard."
The clown was still dressed in the same suit, with his iconic "bright" smile on his face, staring straight at Wayne with his blood-red eyes full of murderous intent and malice.
"Huh?" Wayne didn't expect him to start like this, and raised his eyebrows: "In your opinion, should I be without reason and kindness?" "Of course... no," the clown
said
specifically He spoke in a longer tone, not as irritated as before. He pulled out a tall and gorgeous chair and leaned on it comfortably, "I just thought that after experiencing something like that, you would undergo some changes. Or, Was it because you deliberately restrained yourself that you didn't collapse?"
Restraint?
Wei En thought for a while, shook his head and said, "You're right." His
words did not refute, but his actions showed his attitude - it was not restraint, but growth.
It is the growth after experiencing disasters, tribulations, and seeing conspiracies and ambitions.
At least that's what he thought.
"Hmm," the clown looked at him noncommittally, crossing his fingers on his raised knees, "But I'm quite satisfied with this state." "
Mr. Leonard, you came here just to follow me. Are you talking about this?"
Wayne didn't want to continue this topic, discussing mental changes and growth with a lunatic, unless he was really crazy.
Hearing his words, the clown's smile disappeared and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "You mean, I'm wasting your time?" "
In terms of the results, that's true."
Wayne nodded and pointed to the man next to him. Workbench, "I have a lot of things to do, and there is too much useful knowledge waiting for me to learn and dig out." "
Knowledge? Ha!"
The clown glanced at the instruments on the table and sneered, "In your perception, knowledge Is it something useful that can bring you power, or turn it into a useful ability?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
"Huh?" Wei En was startled, knowledge can't bring power?
"The knowledge you understand is just words recorded on paper or engraved on inscriptions. Its essence is just words, just the words themselves." A mocking smile appeared on the clown's face, "And the little power added to the words, Oh, it’s the knowledge in your mouth, it’s just the will of the writer.”
Is it just words in essence?
What does it mean that knowledge is the will of the writer?
Wayne frowned and looked at him, "What do you mean by this?"
He vaguely understood something, but it was not profound.
Could it be that the runes, potions, and various spells he had learned before were all the writer's own power?
How can this be!
The clown looked sarcastic, "Don't you understand? He, or they, always like to attach rules and will to words to leave traces of existence. And what you learn cannot be called knowledge, it is just It's mixed with them..."
"Wait a minute, the word you just used was 'them'?"
Wei En had to interrupt his lecture. Doesn't this 'them' refer to the gods?
Use words to leave traces of existence, the intellectual power of personal will?
At this moment, a name came to his mind - Gonzales, not Gonzales, but the ancient god that few people knew.
He remembered that when he was improving the Gonzalez language level, he saw a scene...
"Hehehehe... did you notice it? Yes, it's them! They, those beings called 'gods'."
Clown He seemed to have thought of something, and laughed wildly: "Essentially, power is power, and words are words. Knowledge seems to be a combination of the two, but only a small part is useful. As for the others, it is not only useless, but will guide you to inherit Him. Their will."
"When you unknowingly get used to the power of these private goods, your will will be transformed. You must know that it is not only you who are chasing it, but it will also take the initiative to approach you in the hope of letting you. You carry more 'will'."
"This is the essence of 'knowledge'!"
The essence...chasing, approaching...carrying will...
Wei En roughly understands the meaning of these words, but it still feels incredible.
Is this how all knowledge comes from? Can’t they all be learned and used?
etc.
Wei En suddenly remembered the booklet he saw a month ago when he first became an apprentice. The original words on it were - when you pursue knowledge, knowledge will also pursue you.
Think about what the clown just said...
"So, how should we judge and distinguish whether there is, um, some kind of will on it?"
"There will never be a problem with your own things!" the clown said.
Wei En asked in surprise: "Your own?"
If you don't learn and master those contents, how can you transform them into your own things? You can't just fabricate them out of thin air, right?
"There is a limit to what a 'person' can master," the clown seemed to understand his thoughts, his eyes showing a rare calmness. "The origin, soul, spirit, body, and innate abilities, these are your own. Things, as for the rest... it depends on your luck."
Wayne looked at the clown thoughtfully. If he really does what he said, he only needs to improve his own origin and basic attributes.
But how is that possible?
At least things like runes and potions must be learned and mastered, right?
Otherwise, he would have to rely on his fists to fight.
"Okay, I'm not here to tell you this."
The clown leaned back in his chair, snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scene changed.
"Huh?" Wayne was stunned and looked at the surrounding scene. It seemed to be the cabin where the clown appeared for the first time. "Mr. Leonard, did you bring me here?" "In that theater
, Some words may be heard by Little Disaster."
"Little Disaster? You mean Tina? Did something happen to her?"
Wei En frowned. The white-haired girl's condition has improved recently and she is no longer There should be no problem with being as indifferent and lifeless as before.
Is it because of the resuscitated coffin?
"You're right, she's in big trouble, and you're in trouble too." The clown's upright body collapsed, his face looked very ugly, and his eyes lost some of their sparkle, "At the same time, I'm also in bigger trouble. ."
Wei En pointed at himself, "You and me too?"
"She can't enter there anymore!"
"There... you mean that special dark space?"
He thought of Tina's previous use of spiritual vision. That world full of shadows and outlines appears, is there no way for Tina to enter there? The clown nodded, "I don't know the specific reason yet. It may be related to her death, or it may be affected by the resuscitated coffin. In short, the result is." "But, she looks
normal now?"
"Normal? Then Do you remember what happened to you after she left the theater last time?"
What happened?
Sitting on a tattered stool in the wooden house, Wayne recalled: "It's nothing special, right?" "
Storm, you also encountered some trouble today, didn't you?"
The clown breathed a little heavier, gritted his teeth and said, "Then It's because she can no longer transmit the power of disaster to that world, resulting in the impact of disaster!" "
You mean, the previous storm and the Storm Hunter encountered today were all because of... Tina? !"
Wei En looked at him with wide eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
He originally thought that the storm he encountered was due to the changeable weather at sea, and that meeting Henry and the others was just a matter of bad luck.
He never thought that Tina would cause these things.
"That's the fact. She must integrate her growing power of disaster into that world to ensure the safety of herself and the people around her." "What about
staying in the theater all the time?"
The clown gasped, " That way, I'm still in trouble!!"
Hearing his high-pitched roar, Wei En couldn't help but shrink his neck. It seemed that he was really in trouble...
"Um, I wonder what impact she has on you? "
She, she," the clown seemed a little embarrassed to say, and the eyes he looked at Wayne also had some madness and murderous intent. He was struggling in his heart. After a long silence, he whispered: "She trapped me there." "I'm tired."
"Sleepy?"
"Tie, tie... damn, it's just like what you saw before. After she tied me there, she never let me go again!" The
clown's face was ferocious, "But Now that she no longer goes in there, and has even forgotten how to get in and out freely, it has become increasingly difficult for me to come out and move around. Otherwise, why do you think it took me so long to come to you?" "I wish I could practice with abyssal creatures every day so that you
can If you have the strength to find Lilith, why don't you show up?"
"Sorry," Wayne looked at the clown who looked like he was about to go crazy and lose control, lowered his voice and asked carefully: "Mr. Leonard, what do you need me to do?"
This guy ? It was indeed intentional before, deliberately forcing him to fight those abyssal creatures!
"I need you to let her learn how to open that world, instead of learning those damn Gonzalez languages like she is doing now!" "
Open there?" Wei En spread his hands and said innocently: "But I don't either She knows how to get in there."
The clown panted heavily and glared at him with his blood-red eyes. "Activate her source of disaster. She naturally knows how to open it." "
Activate?" Wei En suddenly understood, "You Don't you want her to return to the same state again?"
"Yes, she is a disaster species, and this is her fate! And do you think that not activating the disaster is a good thing? In the end, she will die even more miserably!"
" What do you mean?"
"Hmph, you haven't forgotten that she is the container of that mad woman, have you?" The clown snorted: "Sooner or later, the mad woman will find her and take everything back!"
Mad woman?
Wayne frowned, "At least Tina hasn't faced that threat yet." Finally, Tina
returned to a normal cognitive state. She could joke, study on her own, and get along with them normally... I really
don't want to It would be too cruel for Tina to go back to the way she was before.
Moreover, when the day comes, he will stop it.
For example - kill that crazy woman!
The clown's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he would say such innocent words. Just when he was about to curse, he thought of what he had experienced these days... "
In fact, if Little Disaster can master that power and go further, It may not be impossible to turn the mad woman into a container."
"Are you serious?"
Wayne looked at the forced smile on the clown's face and doubted the authenticity of this statement.
"What I said is true!" The clown saw the look in his eyes and couldn't help but growled: "As long as she takes another step forward, it is absolutely possible for her to take the initiative."
Wei En asked doubtfully: "What about that? How to do it?"
"Integrate into the disaster and become the disaster itself! As long as she stays in that ominous world... no, even if she only stays for a period of time occasionally." "So, the result is still to activate
her and change her . Return to the previous state?"
"It's different, this time, I will take action!"
"You..."
The clown interrupted: "Yes, I will... huh?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the space around him. It began to shake violently, like a collapse, and everything in the wooden house collapsed.
"Damn, it's time, remember next time, next time I will... cooperate with me!!"
The clown only had time to drop these words, and then disappeared along with the wooden house, and Wayne returned to work in the theater space again. indoor.
Cooperate? What can I do to cooperate with you?
Wei En looked at the workbench in front of him and sighed, "It's still a forbidden object. I haven't finished talking yet..."
However, he carefully thought about what the clown said just now. Putting aside the matter of knowledge, he was still far from being purely dependent. His own basic strength can crush everything. At least now he still needs to use spells, runes, potions, equipment, etc. to improve and fight.
The most important thing is the second thing the Joker asked him for help with... Do you really want to change Tina again?
"Hey..." ...
At the same time, a small boat only three meters long, a submersible to be precise, with a camouflage layer of deep-sea creatures on the outside, quietly moved away from the Ronan. "Has the news been passed on?" "Boss, why do I feel like I'm in a dream? Everyone on the Storm Hunter was wiped out by a person I've never seen before..." " This is the world at sea! Qiang Ruheng Rick, you must always be careful!"
"Well, if we hadn't been far apart just now, we would have probably died together. But the new captain on the Ronan is really strong." "Just watch, what will be the name of the red-haired
Marco after tonight ? , will definitely resound along the west coast of the Eastern Continent. The Black Pearl will definitely make some moves by then, but you have to keep an eye on it." "
Understood!"
