Sherlock looked at Richard and spoke slowly: "According to many ancient records, powerful demonized creatures like 'Lerna' are very common and often bring disasters to mankind. Ancient wizards mainly fought The targets are them, and they are responsible for killing them to ensure the safety of ordinary people, and at the same time obtain precious information from them to strengthen themselves.
Among them are some of the more powerful demonized creatures that even the most powerful ancient wizards dare not provoke. Every time such creatures appear, it is a catastrophe for mankind and requires the joint efforts of all wizards to resist. For example, mountain giants, deep-sea whale crocodiles, and void sandworms can easily tear apart the ground and destroy an entire country.
It's just that... the record is one thing, the reality is another. From what I have seen, demonized creatures at the level of 'Lerna' are actually very rare and getting rarer. It's as if someone has been cleaning them up. Many times I thought they didn't exist at all. gone, extinct. But often when they are about to be ignored, they will suddenly jump out, causing fear and annoyance.
Therefore, I am not sure whether super powerful creatures such as mountain giants really exist. Maybe they have been sleeping and waiting to wake up.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to determine the number of powerful demonized creatures, and even their existence is very vague. This is the main continent. Otherwise, how could I say that it is very dangerous, because many things cannot give a definite answer. "
After listening, Richard pondered for a moment, then looked at Sherlock and said, "Why do I feel that it's because you don't know much that you don't have a definite answer?"
"Hey, Richard! You are my dearest friend! Under the witness of great friendship, it's not good for you to question me like this?" Sherlock exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Okay, okay." Richard said helplessly, "I believe you, you continue."
"Okay." Sherlock said, and then said, "I'll give you a second example to let you know the dangers of the main continent.
If I remember correctly, the second example occurred near the Green River. There lived a very lonely and weird wizard there, he seemed to be named Xin'er, or something similar. He has lived there for more than ten years and has never behaved badly, so no one thinks he is dangerous.
But who knows, he has been studying a very evil immortality spell. After more than ten years of research, I succeeded when my life was about to come to an end. Then there was a day and night of crazy killings. Thousands of civilians and more than a dozen wizards were killed in three villages along the river and a small town, and no one was spared. And this is just for him to find suitable materials for casting spells.
This incident didn't spread until a passing wizard was seriously injured and escaped after being attacked by Xin'er, and then more than a dozen powerful wizards joined forces to kill him. Although Xin'er was killed in the end, no one in those three villages and one town dared to go in to collect the body, and the end was finally achieved by using magic to burn it to ashes. "
"call-"
After exhaling again, Sherlock looked at Richard and said: "You have to understand that the main continent is much larger than the east coast, and the number of ordinary people and wizards is much greater than that of the east coast. And when the number is large, it is inevitable that there will be A few lunatics. If they don't master extraordinary power, it's okay. Once they master extraordinary power and they are very powerful, they will be in trouble.
Evil Xin'er is not a special case. Basically, every once in a while, a similar lunatic will appear. Some were simply killed after being discovered, but others were more cunning and changed their identities and hid, waiting for the next appropriate opportunity to take action. Therefore, if you really go to the main continent, be careful no matter when. Even if you are facing a poor beggar in the alley, you must be vigilant. Maybe he is an evil wizard in disguise and is thinking of cutting off some part of your body. "
After finishing speaking, Sherlock paused and said: "Having said that, in fact, powerful demonic creatures, evil wizards and the like are not real dangers. Because when they appear in front of you, you will immediately know that they are not With good intentions, just attack directly. As long as you are strong enough, you can completely guarantee safety.
In the main continent, the real danger is invisible. Sometimes, you even think that he has good intentions, but it just accidentally leads to disaster. "
"for example?"
"For example, the third example!" Sherlock looked a little serious, "It can also be regarded as an example of my personal experience.
It was a small kingdom called Shalin. It was very small, with only a few hundred thousand people in the country. Once, a strange disease suddenly became popular in the kingdom. Those who were sick would have light green blisters all over their bodies, oozing pus, and itching extremely. Although not fatal, it is painful.
Unfortunately, the princess of the Salin Kingdom got this disease. The king spent a lot of money to hire a wizard, hoping that he could prepare a medicine to treat the princess and his subjects.
After the wizard accepted the benefit, he prepared the potion in the palace. It took him seven days to prepare it successfully. But just as he was preparing to treat the disease of the princess of the little kingdom, a bottle of potion that failed to be prepared was broken to the ground.
The failed potion spread in the wind through the open window, and in the next few days, tens of thousands of people died in the entire royal capital. No one knows the reason, but the dead people are all the same - their faces are purple and their eyes are bulging.
The Kingdom of Sarin was destroyed, and the wizard himself died more than a month later. Many people thought that it was caused by strange toxins deposited in his body. In order to prevent the toxin from erupting again and causing greater catastrophe, his body was simply thrown away and burned inside the volcano. "
Looking at Richard, Sherlock said: "It is worth mentioning that when the disaster happened, I was very close to the Salin Kingdom. If the wind direction had changed, I would not be talking to you here. But he lies in his grave.”
At the end of the sentence, Sherlock showed a look of fear on his face and murmured: "In short, the main continent is so dangerous."
After listening to Sherlock's example, Richard couldn't help but think of the biochemical weapon in his hand. If it was really used, it would have similar effects. He nodded: "Looking at it this way, the main continent is indeed quite dangerous."
After a pause, Richard looked at Sherlock again and said, "Apart from the danger, what about other aspects? For example..." Asked about other aspects.
To this, Sherlock answered one by one.
After talking like this for a long time, Richard already had a vague understanding of the main continent and built an outline.
According to Sherlock, the main continent is an upgraded version of the east coast, where opportunities and dangers coexist. That is to say, the difficulty is higher and the risk is higher, but the benefits are also more attractive.
In the main continent, the people at the lowest level are the same as those on the East Coast, they are all ordinary people, but the ceiling at the highest level - the top wizards - are much more powerful than those on the East Coast. The top wizards in the main continent master more powerful spells, more mysterious powers and more profound knowledge. Therefore, there are more secrets waiting to be discovered in the main continent.
In short, the main continent is indeed a good place to go.
