Chapter 1023 Pyramids, Mirages
"I don't study much, so don't tease me, can mirages pose a threat?" Mo Fan stared at the dignified everyone.
Mirage, isn’t this a desert phenomenon? From a scientific point of view, it is the deviation of vision caused by the refraction of light passing through atmospheres with different densities. To give the simplest example, when we catch fish in clear streams, if we catch them in the normal way, we often find that our hands are out of position with the actual fish we want to catch. This is because the light shines on us. Refraction in water.
This is also the principle of the mirage. Mo Fan admits that he does not have a deep understanding of the magic world, but he is an educated science student after all!
A mirage is a virtual image. Even if it really exists, it is definitely not where our eyes see it. So why does such a thing like a huge refraction slide have such a major impact on this Egyptian city? Has the international community started to issue aid orders? ?
There are many wounded in Pushini City, and mages from different camps come and go here more frequently. It looks like a city of war, which is somewhat similar to the East China Sea City in Japan. The problem is, the illusory shadow caused by a light is What is causing so many cities in Egypt to be in such turmoil? ?
"Who has time to re-explain to this guy who always leaves the team without authorization, we still have to discuss the next thing." Guan Yu said impatiently.
When Mo Fan was with Xinxia, the group of them had already made progress, and they had a clearer understanding of what happened here.
Mo Fan has also heard Xinxia mention mirage before, the question is what is mirage?
"Mo Fan, do you know the relationship between the pyramid and the undead?" Jiang Yu said.
Mo Fan immediately shook his head. To be honest, he was very interested in the kingdom of the undead in Egypt, but he knew nothing about it.
Jiang Yu patted his forehead, why did he go into this muddy water. Isn't this going to start from the beginning for Mo Fan?
"That's right. The undead in Egypt are slightly different from the undead in our ancient capital. The difference lies in their range of activities. The undead in our ancient capital will haunt in the dark. Wherever the dead air is strong, they will gather there, while the undead in Egypt will gather It always surrounds the pyramid. The pyramid is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The pharaoh is actually an extremely powerful slave owner in the slave era, which is equivalent to a lord who holds the power of life and death. These pharaohs are so powerful that even death must be controlled by Countless people came to guard him, so they used their mausoleum pyramid as the center of the curse, so that all the creatures who were buried with them and died nearby could be reborn, and they must guard around their mausoleum pyramid forever." Jiang Yu roughly Tell Mo Fan about his history.
Mo Fan listened carefully,
At the same time, I couldn't help but have some contrasts in my heart.
The undead in the ancient capital will transform and wake up again after death because of the lingering spirit of death. This is closely related to Qin Wang Yingzheng's pursuit of the law of immortality. His so-called immortality means abandoning the sun and living in darkness forever!
The undead in Egypt, on the other hand, seem to have originated from the magic of the curse system, which was also created by the Egyptian pharaoh. They derived the undead system through the curse system, which perfectly coincides with Qin Wang Yingzheng's immortality technique.
A slap can't make a sound. I think the undead system will be officially included in the orthodox magic system. It is precisely because ancient China and ancient Egypt, two countries with splendid ancient civilizations, jointly created undead magic. Included in the ranks of forbidden techniques.
"That is to say. The undead of Egypt will only move around in the territory of the pyramid? Then this is actually pretty good, as long as the city is built in a non-pyramid territory, basically it will not interfere with these Egyptian undead!" Mo Fan Said.
"That's right. Egypt has always done this, especially in modern times. All the cities have moved out of the pyramid territory. Normally, the residents of Egypt will not be harassed by the undead, but there are many ancient families and Old hunters will break into the pyramid territory from time to time to search for the treasures left by the pharaohs. Everyone has always believed that if there are mountains of treasures in the pyramids, if one or two can be taken out, it must be worth a fortune. After all, the ancient pharaohs created the curse system and The undead system...they must have treasures with huge energy." Jiang Yu's eyes sparkled. Apparently he'd love to get those things from there, too.
"Then what does this have to do with the mirage??" Mo Fan returned to the topic.
"The pyramid is the city-state of the dead, and the city is the habitat of the living. As long as there is no intentional interference, it will not cause any harm, but it is impossible for nature to calm the pyramid and the city forever. Doesn't the mirage make the original place in a certain place peaceful? Does something from one place appear in another place?" Jiang Yu said.
While saying these words, Jiang Yu deliberately led Mo Fan to the high place of Nancheng Mountain.
Nancheng Mountain is behind the white tent venue, and there is a tall watchtower. Jiang Yu led Mo Fan to the watchtower.
"You will know when you go up and look north." Jiang Yu pointed to the top of the observation tower.
Mo Fan was skeptical, turned into an invisible shadow bird, and quickly reached the top of the watchtower's outer wall at an extremely fast speed.
Are you kidding me? You are all mages. When you meet a tower, do you have to climb up stairs one by one?
After escaping to the watchtower, an Egyptian guard who was guarding above saw Mo Fan appearing strangely from the darkness, and couldn't help but froze for a moment.
Mo Fan explained his identity, then looked in the direction Jiang Yu said.
This is the area with the widest view in Pushini City. Looking towards the loess land on the outskirts of the city, on the hilly hills, Mo Fan suddenly found a golden building shining uniquely in the sun. over there!
The scorching sun is shining brightly, and it is warm and comfortable when it falls on the city, but I don’t know why the sun has entered the territory of the pyramid, but it reveals a strange and cold feeling, as if the sun has also changed because of the existence of the pyramid. Color, miserable white, demon purple!
"No... Didn't you say that the nearest pyramid is 200 kilometers away? Does this distance mean 200 kilometers to you?" Mo Fan stared blankly at the pyramid with a strange aura. Heart waves tumbling.
The pyramid is very magnificent. Although it is only a solitary stone building with a height of more than 50 meters, it gives people a sense of oppression of an ancient city-state that can accommodate thousands of troops. On the contrary, the city of Pushini Looks a bit small and vulnerable!
Gold is supposed to be a holy, noble, and solemn color, but in Mo Fan's eyes, this pyramid is full of terrifying and evil nature. It is completely impossible to say where the horror and monsters are...
The guard didn't answer Mo Fan's boring question, but just drove Mo Fan down.
Mo Fan jumped from the watchtower and landed in front of Jiang Yu, the evil aura of the pyramid still stood in his mind.
"See, it's a mirage!" Jiang Yu said.
"But the problem is just an illusion!" Mo Fan said.
"The undead don't think so."
"..."
Mo Fan didn't know what to say for a while.
In other words, the most fundamental reason for the war between the pyramid undead and the human city is that the group of Egyptian undead are so stupid that they can't distinguish between real and virtual images!
Thinking that such a cruel and bloody war broke out because of this, Mo Fan couldn't help thinking of a wise saying: It's terrible to be uneducated.
As long as the Egyptian undead have some brains, they will not regard the pyramids reflected in the mirage as their city-states!
"Generally, a pyramid with a radius of 100 kilometers belongs to the territory of the undead. That is to say, in the eyes of the undead, we humans have violated their territory. The most intolerable thing is that we actually built a city on their territory , don’t destroy this city, don’t kill all humans, they will never give up!” Jiang Yu said to Mo Fan.
The world is so big, there are many wonders, but it is true as Jiang Yu said before, it is impossible for God to allow a group of dead people and a group of living people to coexist so peacefully in the same country. The phenomenon of mirage is the fuse of everything. The dead people are angry , this group of unscrupulous humans broke into their territory, and the living were even more angry, such dead people dared to make trouble in their city!
"Once a mirage appears, it basically means that the war between the living and the dead has broken out, and the mirage usually takes a long time to appear. It is fine if only one pyramid is refracted nearby. If several pyramids appear mirages, and they are compared In such a long history, there are not a few cities in Egypt that have disappeared because of mirages. In addition, it also depends on what kind of pyramid it is. Ordinary pyramids, generally The army will suppress it, and with the assistance sent by the international community, most of it can be calmed down, but if it is that kind of big pyramid... that is equivalent to a big tribe, it would be terrible!" Jiang Yu said.
"Is the pyramid also divided into levels?" Mo Fan asked.
"Of course, there are about 93 pyramids in Egypt, of different sizes, the largest of which is the Pyramid of Khufu." Jiang Yu said.
"Then is it possible for the Pyramid of Khufu to have a mirage?" Mo Fan said casually.
"Bastard, what are you talking about!!" At this moment, the previous tower guard yelled angrily.
It turned out that the tower guard had just changed his guard, and he happened to walk down from above, but when he heard what Mo Fan said, his whole body exploded!
Mo Fan was also puzzled. In order to practice Interlingua well, everyone sometimes communicated in Interlingua in the team, but this also caused a lot of trouble.
"Mo Fan, don't say such nonsense, it's very taboo in the local area." Jiang Yu lowered his voice, and continued next to Mo Fan, "If a mirage appears in the Khufu Pyramid, half of Egypt may fall. No kidding!" (To be continued.)
