Chapter 17 Overview of the Different World Part 2 (Pre-Chapter Finale)
Adventurers usually carry a white crystal with them.
This magical mineral can absorb the magic energy emitted by the monster after its death.
Depending on the total amount of magic energy absorbed, the crystal itself will change color.
When the magic power is exhausted, it will turn back into an ordinary white crystal.
Let's use the "battery" metaphor again.
If the magic seeds and magic cores are both "natural batteries" produced by monsters.
Then the crystal absorbs the dissipated magic energy, which is equivalent to charging the "artificial battery".
In any case, magic power is an energy source that will never be worried about sales.
There is a wide range of demand in almost all walks of life, and the influence is huge.
Including the cultivation of extraordinary power and various rigid consumption.
Even the ancient alchemy engineering and magic potion skills now have the step of magic assistance.
So hunting monsters itself is a behavior that can create value.
For the cave monsters, the creatures of the Naroa continent are also an alternative resource.
The most important purpose of monsters attacking humans, in addition to killing, eating, and humiliating, is to collect materials.
The souls, blood, and even the hearts, brains, eyeballs, and genitals of the natives of Naroa can be sacrificed in different monster rituals.
These rituals will cause changes in the monster caves, and the individual monsters in them will also change.
However, great scholars believe that the deep-level meaning of rituals to monsters should not be limited to this.
Because the chaotic and disordered offensive will of monsters has proved that in their eyes, the creatures of Naroa continent are all lambs to be slaughtered.
Various hypotheses about the motives and origins of monster attacks have emerged one after another.
But tracing the source is not important, and neither side has a reason to let the other go.
In this context, the invasion of monsters has instead contributed to the multi-ethnic mixed civilization of Naroa continent.
All intelligent ethnic groups, no matter how huge the differences in appearance, concepts, beliefs, and customs are, as long as they can communicate, there is hope for peaceful coexistence.
But the monsters are different. Both low-level and high-level monsters regard the natives of Naroa as insects and livestock.
It can be said that after understanding the relationship between monsters and natives.
You have basically grasped the main thread of the Naroa continent.
The rest of the customs and habits can be slowly adapted.
After all, there are too many kinds of alien races, and their food, clothing, architectural styles, etc. are different.
The overall style belongs to a complex model of great integration and coexistence of multiple races, which is difficult to summarize in simple language.
But at least this shows that the internal system of the alien world is inclusive enough.
With the default mastery of the common language, it is not difficult for Chen Xuan to integrate into it.
Apart from the main line of monsters.
Chen Xuan also has a preliminary understanding of the circadian rhythm of Naroa.
The two suns in the sky are named Yaori and Anri, and they do not rise and set at the same time most of the time.
Instead, they have their own revolution cycles. Every four Naroa years, the scene of the two suns synchronizing can be seen.
The longest daytime can reach eight water clock hours, and the shortest is six water clock hours.
Each water clock hour corresponds to three hours in the blue star.
As for the night, it is divided into two types.
It is the pseudo night when the bright sun sets and the dark sun sets.
This stage usually lasts for two water clock hours.
After the pseudo night, it is the moon night after both suns disappear, which lasts for six water clock hours.
There are various combinations of moon phases, but Rebecca doesn't know much about it.
She needs to consult a professional astrologer.
Usually, a new batch of monsters will emerge from the cave before and after the pseudo night.
And the monsters at night will become particularly excited and manic.
The opposite is true during the day.
Therefore, adventurers hunt monsters during the day and at night.
This information is only enough for Chen Xuan to know roughly.
Basically, it can be considered that one Naroa day is approximately equal to two blue star days.
There must be a certain error in it, but there is no problem with this understanding.
Finally, it is about the story of Rebecca and the demon seed.
When talking about this, Rebecca Miri boldly made a request to him.
That is to cure the disease that her brother and mother have contracted.
Chen Xuan did not comment on this.
Although he is not a qualified slave owner.
But he still knows who is the slave and who is the master.
Before Rebecca makes a substantial contribution to him, he will not care about such things.
Moreover, he is not sure about the so-called disease, and will not take up extra time for this matter.
Rather than saying that Chen Xuan is cold and ruthless, it is better to say that he is pragmatic enough.
After all, it is a poor and white alien world, a treasure shrouded in fog, and the key to obtaining extraordinary power, not a children's amusement park.
Even if you have a golden finger, you have to be cautious step by step.
It can be seen that Rebecca still cares about her relatives. When she knew that her request was hopeless, the haze on her face could almost be described as "sad and heartbroken".
Therefore, Chen Xuan said at the end that as long as she did a good job for him, he would consider solving the problem of disease for her relatives.
It was considered to give her a glimmer of hope.
When the two talked, Chen Xuan also deliberately showed a few Blue Star methods.
Just as he was amazed at the extraordinary power of the Naroa continent, Rebecca also expressed enough amazement at Blue Star's methods.
This not only made the image of her master in her mind more mysterious.
There is reason to believe that Chen Xuan may really be able to cure the disease.
Silently reviewing in his mind, Chen Xuan soon walked to the snack street he usually went to.
Rebecca's eating habits are basically the same as humans, but her appetite is bigger.
So Chen Xuan directly packed two portions of braised chicken and two portions of braised pork ribs.
While waiting for the meal, he suddenly realized something, and the element was detected!
The relationship between monsters and the Naroa continent is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
The key point lies in magic power!
If the Naroa continent before the appearance of the Monster Cave belongs to the low magic world.
Then with the emergence of monsters, the use of magic power is strengthened, and the magic energy reserves are increasingly rich.
In fact, the Naroa continent has slowly evolved to the level of the middle magic world.
Some of the information about extraordinary powers mentioned by Rebecca can prove this point.
According to this line of reasoning, the cave may represent some secrets of world change.
Chen Xuan thought seriously. If he was not worried about the monsters "guarding the body" in the original place, he would have wanted to cross the border right now and go to Magtan City to learn more about this magical other world.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan planned to wait until tomorrow to cross the border.
This way, he could avoid the risk of being "guarded" and wait for the arrival of some special materials purchased last night.
And the next morning was just the end of the night in Naroa.
The monsters were more tired during the day, and their safety was more than one level higher than that of the night.
In fact, Chen Xuan had a clear idea of how to be a qualified trader in the two worlds and make good use of the complementary advantages of cross-border.
Carrying the packed meals, he bought a few sets of casual clothes for teenagers in a nearby clothing store and set off on the return journey.
After mastering the common sense related to the other world, he believed that there were still many preparations to be perfected!
Knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle.
A new journey to the other world is about to begin.
