The reason why the Black Night Mountains are called the Black Night Mountains is because the woods here are tall and dense. When you walk through the forest, you can never see the sun. It is like eternal night, so it is called the Black Night Mountains. However, some people say it is because The reason why the Lord of the Night once left many miraculous places here.
This is the boundary between the foreign land and the world of the Church of Light. Across the Night Mountains and through the Black Forest, there is the Kingdom of the Golden Rose. However, the Black Forest also belongs to the Kingdom of the Golden Rose in name, but in this strange and dangerous forest where monsters are infested. Among them, except for adventurers and mercenaries, no one else could be seen.
The Free Mutual Aid Association was exposed, and Frank and the three of them were also wanted by the Dark Night God Cult in foreign countries. They had no choice but to cross the Dark Night Mountains and go all the way to the Kingdom of Golden Rose, where they prepared to take an airship to the Zhongzhou World.
However, when they were passing through a strange area, they mistakenly entered a jungle of Devil's Camphor. The strong voodoo miasma and illusion emanating from the Devil's Camphor covering an unknown area trapped them tightly, and they wanted to To fly out, there is a forbidden air barrier in the sky.
"What the hell is this place? Even the elemental wizards are trapped. Even the eye of reality can't see through this illusion!" Frank held a witchcraft compass, opened the eye of reality, and looked around for the exit.
"The power of the night magic in Alva has deepened and has invaded his spiritual consciousness. We must leave here immediately." Wilbert was attracted by Alva, holding the Pearl of Purification high, blocking the wizard. The erosion of the poisonous miasma, but the power of the Purification Pearl can be seen, and entities that form various phantom beasts here are strangely attacking them.
Frank said cautiously: "We may have broken into some important area. This place must have been arranged by a wizard. Is this a wizard tower of a dark wizard, or an ancient wizard ruins?"
Frank and the other three wandered here for two days before finally stepping out of the Devil's Camphor Forest. Instead of escaping, they entered the Devil's Camphor Forest.
The fog surrounded the whole sky, and the sky was also dark. The top floor could not be seen. It was full of dead silence and depression. There seemed to be some problems with the barrier. The devil's camphor began to grow towards the inside. Various vines and miasma mist, It has penetrated inside.
As the gray fog gradually moved, they, standing at the foot of the mountain, finally looked up and saw the scene here. In the gray fog, a huge black mountain range exposed its ridge, and above it, a huge and magnificent city was built. In the fog, There is a shadow in it.
Many places in the city collapsed and were destroyed, and many places were moved or relocated. However, it can be seen that this is a wizard city full of witchcraft. You can see scattered wizards, aerial rail cranes, suspension bridges, and streets. There are castles, clock towers and monster breeding gardens.
But at this moment, it is covered with vines, moss, and weeds up to the elbows everywhere. It is full of a sense of dilapidation. The huge city is built on the black ridge. From the foot of the mountain, it looks like it is in the mist. It looks hazy and vicissitudes of life, like a fantasy city lost in time.
Frank immediately remembered a legendary place: "In legend, wizards have a holy land that belongs to them. It is the origin of wizards, the sacred temple of truth and knowledge, and the fantasy land of all wizards."
At this time, Alva also supported himself and looked at the ruins on the mountain above: "I have also heard that the legend says that place is called the High Tower. However, with the advent of the age of gods, the wizards have lost their era and are gradually declining. .”
"There are also legends that the wizards of the tower went to another world and restarted their wizarding era."
Wilbert looked at everything on the mountain. It was completely deserted. There was no trace of human beings, only ruins. For some reason, he suddenly felt like crying: "This is the wizard's tower!"
Walking up, through the heavy fog, the ruins of the tower gradually appeared in front of them. They stepped on the long stairs, passed through the huge arches and streets paved with stone slabs. For such a huge city, one can imagine how prosperous it was. At that time, how many wizards lived here.
However, a large number of buildings in the city had disappeared, as if they had all been moved away. Frank and the other three walked all the way to the top position, and saw that all the core areas here had disappeared, leaving only large pits. The legendary The tall tower that towered into the clouds also disappeared.
However, the three of them suddenly saw a tall tower standing on the edge of the cliff in this deep pit, with countless wizards shuttled through it, a huge library, and a spacious auditorium and classroom.
"Someone has already been here. You see, the witchcraft mark here looks relatively new. Someone has excavated here."
"This was originally supposed to be a huge castle, and the building looks very huge!"
Frank fiddled with his hands and interfered with his mental exploration. As a result, he saw that the ground collapsed directly, and the three people discovered a huge nest underneath.
"There are tunnels and railcars here. I don't know where they lead!"
"What are you looking at?"
Wilbert picked up a piece of something that looked like scales on the ground. It was bright red and shiny, and felt hot when he held it in his hand. Frank looked at it and his eyes suddenly straightened: "This is, dragon , these are the dragon’s scales!”
The three of them suddenly reached their limit of energy and observed the surroundings vigilantly. However, they found that there were no traces of any creature that had been here recently. However, on the wall of the dragon's lair, the three of them discovered a mural. There is also a line of small words engraved on it. I don’t know who carved it here.
"The so-called immortals are just powerful men beyond the limits of mortal imagination!"
"The tower that promoted the advancement of the entire world's civilization has also been reduced to ruins under the impact of time. The wizards who once claimed to control the entire world never expected that their future would end like this!"
"Everything that exists will perish. Even if it exists for eternity, it will eventually die! The same is true for mortals! The same is true for the strong! The same is true for gods!"
—Marina Bosse
When Frank read the last name, the air suddenly became quiet. The name of the legendary alchemist Marina Bosse was known to everyone in the entire Alan continent. Most children knew it. I have heard of her legend, the legendary alchemist, the person who promoted the advent of the steam age, the first person to travel around the world, the first..., countless honors and legends make her seem to be filled with golden colors.
"Is that Ms. Marina Bosse?" Alva took the newly prepared potion again, and her spirits became better.
"Isn't she an alchemist? Why does she appear in the wizard's holy tower? Or what is the connection between the alchemist and the wizard?" Frank did not expect to see this name in the wizard's tower.
I don’t know why Marina Bosse came here, and why she left such a sentence here, let alone what Marina Bosse’s mood was when she stood among the ruins of the tower. .
"I think you should take a look at this!" Wilbert pointed to the pattern on the wall.
It was a huge tree-like model, densely engraved with various symbols, and made up of seventeen bases connected to each other. The age of this World Tree model looks older than the age of Marina Bosse's handwriting. If it is older, it is likely to be something left by the former tower wizard.
"world Tree?"
"The Tree of God's Throne!"
"The road to becoming a god!"
The three of them are all elites among extraordinary beings. They still know some about various rumors and secrets, but when they see such things appearing, they still feel extremely shocked. According to legend, the Creator left seventeen gods. The throne is composed of seventeen gods that form the model for managing the entire world, the rules that run the world, and the order that manages the world.
However, this is just a legend, and no one knows whether it is true or not. As the true gods and semi-holy beings ascended to the Kingdom of God, even the methods of becoming gods have completely disappeared from this world.
The three people stayed in the underground dragon lair of the wizard tower for a long time, and finally took the tower's underground rail car and appeared directly on the edge of the black forest, passed through the jungle, and appeared on the hillside.
The fog dissipated and the sun shone on the hillside. Below the hillside, one could see stone chimney huts and shepherds driving their sheep with whips. Herds of sheep came bleating towards the hillside.
Looking at this scene, and what they had just witnessed in the ruins of the wizard's tower, the three of them felt as if they were in another world. 8)
