What is Tiamat's law
If you ask the aboriginal people of Warend with this question, you will get a consistent answer: that is the blessing of Lord Martha.
In "Amber Sword", players have conducted in-depth investigations of this strange phenomenon that only belongs to the world of Vaughan.
The answer they got was:
This is the collective term for this world order, the core of the elemental barrier that surrounds the entire world, and the basic law that restricts the elements that make up the cornerstone of this world.
There is a clearer description of this in the Epic of Cang.
Martha made a covenant with the four great elves and personally lowered the laws of Tiamat, which bound the boundaries of the elements, so that the cornerstone of the world of Vaughan could be established.
But in fact.
Tiamat's law can be observed.
Either standing on the earth of Vaughan, looking up to the sky, or casting a glance in the direction of the elemental barrier from the chaotic sea of magic.
It is a magnificent silver network composed of beautiful curves and straight lines. And this giant net spans tens of thousands of miles in the sky, and people can always see its existence no matter if it is overcast or cloudless and clear in the afternoon.
But few people have seen it really.
Brando is no exception.
At the moment before Bai disappeared, although he did want to ask something, the other party obviously didn't plan to give him this opportunity.
Her somewhat pale, illusory figure swayed slightly in the void, and Brando watched her sink into the dark metal plane.
Then the huge structure seemed to light up imperceptibly, and then fell silent again.
Brando stretched out his hand in that direction, but found reluctantly that he could not grasp the opponent at all.
All he could see was the tens of millions of structures shimmering in the void. They are arranged into a huge array, a huge net.
"Thanks... I brought her here?"
"What are these things...?"
"What does this woman want... What do those words mean?"
Brando was at a loss and puzzled for a while.
Bai's performance was so different from the Bai Tiamas he was familiar with, the death god under the black rose who disdain to play tricks, the dead angel holding a giant scythe—
However, since the appearance of his spiritual world, the other party has lied repeatedly, apparently only to conceal the true intention of this moment.
Brando fell down, but quietly stared at the huge array lying in the dark space in front of him.
So what does this woman want to do
What secrets are hidden here, so that the other party even uses the eternal and indestructible as an excuse, and even reveals secrets such as the mercury rod and the elemental scepter to him.
This thought uncontrollably arose in his mind.
Although Brando had the same doubts when he first saw this huge array. But at that time, the storm blowing from the crystal wall of the world once again extinguished these whimsical thoughts. He took several adventures, and he had the mind to think too much.
Only at this moment, this idea took root in his heart again and grew stronger—
Because he thought of another question.
He thought of the world—
Brando remembers that in the game, the farthest place the player's footprint has reached should be the scorching river and the depths of hell. And some players travel between worlds with the fleet of plane travelers. They have been to many unknown worlds and broken planes, and even traveled for a long time in the gray zone, and they were enemies of etheric predators. .
But a common sense is—
No one can reach beyond the elemental barrier. A force called the cover of the world surrounds the four outer worlds of Voend, the shallow sea, the storm-stopped mountain, the stone hub, and the hot river. When people try to penetrate When it passes it, it will be transmitted back by the opposite force, no exception.
But when the Dragon Queen pulled away from the cornerstone of the four elemental planes, the situation became a little different.
The shallow sea and the mountain where the storm ceased collapsed, followed by Shishu and Jiao Hot River. When the four elemental worlds outside the world of Vaughan died, the shield between Vaughan and the elemental barrier disappeared.
Brando is not sure if he is the only person for thousands of years to have the honor to witness this scene with his own eyes, but at least one thing he can confirm, he must be the only player who has the privilege of witnessing all of this with his own eyes.
But when he saw this magnificent sight, this question flashed in his mind:
So, what is behind all this
Fias and Rutter yelled in his ears.
The storm that represents the will of the dragon of dusk is coming. As Bai said, the furious Twilight Dragon was knocking at the gate of this world with one blow, trying to tear open the world crystal wall again.
Although she has not done this yet, the power of the entire world has been transmitted from behind the crystal wall, even if it has been weakened ten million times, it is still enough to tear through the fragile element barrier at this moment.
Black ripples visible to the naked eye are emerging in the space.
Behind that, the laws of time and space are crazily twisting and escaping.
But Brando turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, and his mind was in chaos.
Different from the education of another soul in his body from another world, Vaughan is an extremely wonderful world in the game. The physical properties of everything in this world depend on the description of the law, not the description of the law. The material that composes it-earth wind, fire and water, the combination of the six elements of natural light and dark, and the nature of the elements themselves.
Just like when people pick up a piece of shale from the ground, they can clearly feel that it is physical and material.
However, when the wizards used magical eyes to analyze the slate, everything changed.
They will first find that although the material existence of the slate depends on the elemental cornerstones—earth, wind, fire, water, nature, and even light and darkness—they themselves cannot determine its nature.
Because only the law surrounding it can ultimately determine the nature of everything-hard or soft? Dry or wet? How malleable is it? Is it fragile
When the law is described, no matter what the elements that make up it, it will exhibit familiar physical properties—because the elements are only the material basis of Vaughan, they are like the masonry needed to build a building—and Only the design drawings can determine what the building will look like in the end.
This is like the process of a programmer labeling and injecting data into a thing he created. No matter how the 0 and 1 in the language he wrote down, it is the thing that is shown to the player in the end. What it should be in the game.
In "Amber Sword", the logic of the world fits its setting as a game, so players don't care about it.
But since coming to this world, some problems have arisen.
If Warnd is no longer a game world, how does this world with one or more creators work
Why does it still exhibit almost the same nature of the world as in the game
Brando is not a poet who needs to explore the truth of the universe, and certainly not a wizard who lives on a tower all his life and pursues ultimate knowledge and mystery.
So he rarely considers such issues.
There are actually many problems he needs to solve, whether it is the chores of the fir-collar, or the a lot of troubles in Eruin, or the Madara who is eyeing on the border, and the ambitious empire.
It seems that even if these things are handled one by one, all his thoughts and time need to be taken up, and there is no chance to consider these problems.
Besides, after all, he never thought that one day, unexpected events might force him to think about such a problem.
What is this world
But he didn't completely think about this issue.
When he first arrived in this world, when he was lying in the straw with Roman and Freya in the countryside of the green village and looking up at the stars, he once had this question in his mind.
He once hoped that this world was just a dream of his own. He would wake up from his dream at any time and be able to return to the civilized and orderly world that belonged to him.
He woke up from the bed and opened the door of his room, and he could see the teasing smile familiar to the senior sister and the black tea, telling him it was just a prank.
But as this dream deepened, he personally changed the kingdom little by little, and changed the fate of many people. After seeing those familiar names around him, he would not repeat their original sad and bleak ending.
This hope gradually became a lingering nightmare in his mind.
Whenever he talks with the staff, whenever he listens to little Roman’s grotesque thoughts and thoughts, whenever he walks in the afternoon sun of the fir castle and hee, watching the shadow of the leaves sway on the ground of the courtyard Time.
He couldn't help but wonder if this was a dream, and if he realized that all this was just his own imagination when he woke up from the dream. Whenever such thoughts surged in his mind, he couldn't help feeling depressed and uneasy. He even had a few similar nightmares, in which all his anxiety and fear turned into reality. When he woke up at midnight, he was already wet with cold sweat.
This nightmare was gradually extended over time. Sometimes he even thought about it, assuming that the world was still a game, and sometimes he even thought about it like this.
Perhaps the world itself is still a game. When he wakes up, he finds that everything he has experienced is still just data in the game.
