Bringing Culture to a Different World

“That book was borrowed by the black-clothed man seventeen years ago.”

The gray-clothed man glanced at the empty space on the bookshelf and remembered that a large part of the books in his collection had been borrowed by the black-clothed man.

“What does the black-clothed man want those books for?”

“He and the blue-clothed man have been investigating a mysterious religious belief.”

The gray-clothed man waved his hand again, and another book flew out from the bookshelf and landed in Joshua’s hand.

The text of this book was still an ancient and unknown language. The gray-clothed man very thoughtfully added a line of notes at the bottom of the note.

“Something outside the world?”

Jose read out this line of notes.

“It describes a religion that people believed in many years ago. I think it’s the predecessor of the Heretic Court of Justice,”the gray-clothed man said.

”… that.”Jose took out his drawing again. “I just want to figure out the identity of the owner of this arm, and her weakness and so on… if she is a magic puppet, is there any switch that can turn it off?”

“In this book, there is a kind of magic machine that can lock the minds and minds of living creatures. Its fuel is human emotions. Its function is to lock a specific thought and emotion into the mind.”

While the gray-clothed man said this, an owl stopped on its shoulder as if it was whispering something to him.

“It still sounds complicated. Was this thing made by the predecessor of that Heretic Trial Court?”

Joshua flipped open the book “Things Beyond the world”again. He still could not understand a single word of the content recorded in it.

“This is the ‘evil thing’that the religion wanted to destroy. The creator was executed by them.”As the gray-clothed man said this, the owl on his arm flapped its wings and flew away, his gaze also looked towards the tower of sages in the distance. “The black-clothed man will be more detailed than me. He will be narrating this in the sage Assembly soon. Are you interested?”

“I… Can Go to the sage Assembly?”

Joshua remembered that only the sage could enter that assembly.

“As the chosen successor apprentice, you have the right to listen in.”The gray-clothed man glanced at Hiri who was beside Joshua and said, “Although you are not my apprentice, you are my teacher.”

Joshua was the teacher of the programming course in the Ruhr Academy. This Old Sage was the smartest student in Joshua’s class.

“It seems that I have to listen in.”

Joshua had a feeling that he was playing an RPG game. In order to achieve his goal, he had to run back and forth between several npcs. Occasionally, some npcs would say, “Help me catch three chickens to tell you this news.”.

However, Joshua felt that this kind of experience should be one of the pleasures of the game, as long as it was not too complicated.

..

This was the second time that Joshua had come to the sage Assembly for a stroll. The last time that Joshua came to the sage Assembly, he only saw the white-clothed person.

Today, in the sage Assembly, other than the blue-clothed person and the purple-clothed person who were not present, all the other sages were present.

An ancient book and a large pile of blueprints were suspended in front of the black-clothed sage. It seemed that he was explaining the results of his research over the years to the sages.

“You guys continue.”

Joshua noticed that the other five sages were looking at him. He waved his hand and found a seat in a remote corner.

The red-clothed sage wanted to say something but eventually gave up. As the old acquaintances of Nolan and the other five sages, they really did not have any objections to Joshua sitting here.

“The so-called ‘real world’in our eyes is the world that we see, touch, and feel first, so we think that this world is real. And in the ‘real world’in the eyes of canine creatures, colors don’t exist, because the world in the eyes of canine creatures is gray and white…”the black-robed man began to narrate a lot of things that Joshua could not understand.

“Are you going to get straight to the point?”

The man in yellow looked even more impatient than Joshua. Previously, he had followed the man in black to support the High Elves, and he had been greatly angered by the High Elves. However, he had received a rather useful piece of information, it was that he had found the ‘gaming friends’of his chief apprentice on the magic web.

“What I want to explain is that… things outside the realm do not exist in our world.”

The Man in black waved his hand and a huge piece of paper appeared in front of him. On the paper, there was a ball of thread that was painted with charcoal. Below it, the words ‘thing outside the world’were written in the universal language of the world.

“We can’t recognize it, or we can’t see it or have the ability to touch it.”

“So? Are you trying to say that this thing has been hovering around me for a long time?”The man in yellow interrupted the man in black again.

The more Joshua listened, the more he felt that it was like the feeling in the myth of Cthulhu. If it really was that kind of ‘strange’existence, Joshua really did not have any way to destroy it.

“No, just because of this, it can not enter our world!”The black-clothed man slammed his hands on the table, with a serious gaze, he swept across all the sages present. “The residents of the human race, as well as the races of other intelligent creatures, do not know what kind of existence the ‘thing outside the world’is, so it does not exist in this world at all.”

“But the heretic court of the country of the sacred religion is trying to summon that fellow.”

The red-clothed man suddenly said that his recent relationship with the country of the sacred religion was not good.

“If an otherworldly object wants to enter our world, it must have a large number of believers who believe that it ‘exists’. Its appearance, form, and power… This gives it the ability to invade the source’s consciousness space. When the world tree gradually withers, it will descend to the real world!”

“Wait a minute! Did you just mention the space of consciousness?”Joshua raised his hand and asked the black-clothed man.

“That’s right… Joshua Arnold, you touched the sacred tree of our race, so you should have the right to enter that space. When I was young, I also mistakenly entered that space. That is a completely empty world. All the emotions of intelligent creatures gather there. After the things outside the world enter it, they will treat it as food. We will have no ability to resist!”The black-clothed man warned everyone again in a loud voice.

“Then what should we do? Should we gather all the soldiers from all the countries in the world and go up to Arthur Cross to Touch Your World Tree? And then line up one by one to enter that consciousness space to fight that monster?”The yellow-clothed man said sarcastically.

“No.”Joshua heard the black-clothed man’s description of the consciousness space and interrupted the yellow-clothed man’s sarcasm. “I’ve been there recently. It’s not like there’s nothing there.”
