"It is more stable than ordinary fire. It does not need to be so tightly protected when it is carried deep into the Black Forest by the knights. More importantly, it will change the surrounding environment anytime and anywhere before it is ignited, although it only does not To a diameter of three hundred meters, but it is enough to protect explorers in areas where chaos is unknown."
"It's exactly the same as the Lord Lord's description, Your Royal Highness, this is an epoch-making product. I believe it will profoundly change Eruin, not even change the pattern of the entire human world."
The hall was so quiet that the needle fell, and almost only Tamar's voice was echoing, and Antitina and Princess Griffin were a little fascinated.
Before the era of glorious return, mortals figured out how to use the abilities of order fragments in Martha's Blessed Land.
The term'fire' was born.
After that was the magnificent and most glorious era of Vaughan, the mortal empire expanded rapidly into the wilderness in four directions, almost reopening Vaughn's fragmented and submerged territory in the dark since the last era.
A series of small countries on the border, such as Eruin, Antobruo, and Ten Cities, were born in this era. The War of the Four Realms, the Great Plains, and the White Mountains were still barren territories during the war of sages. It has become the domain of civilization and order.
Thanks to the sages of that era, modern humans no longer need to use the term “cutting thorns and thorns” when passing through the four realms and the great plains. In history, when the Yan King led the people through the great plains, several mortal clans Almost half of the population was lost.
In the most prosperous period of the year of glorious return, the vast new territory that is constantly increasing, as well as the endless rich products and resources from the opened up land, have supported the Holy One in the civilized world. The most peaceful and glorious era in the centuries after the war.
Endless materials and ever-increasing living standards have gradually created an era of sublimation of the spiritual world, flourishing art, and the pursuit of exquisite aristocratic life. All of this can now be seen from the flashy architectural style and armor of that era. Find clues on the artwork-like carvings.
It was an era of endless glory, people were full of hope for the future, and even wizards and astrologers thought that mortals had mastered the key to the ultimate mystery of the world.
After the dragon of twilight has passed away, the world of order can finally defeat the power of chaos, thus establishing a world with infinite land and infinite resources on the earth.
In this world, the living space of mankind will be broader than any previous era, so even if the gods have left, mortals can still create a golden age by their own strength.
However, just as all dreams have a beginning and an end, the dream of the year of glorious return was also cruelly shattered by hitting the wall of cold reality in the most prosperous period of this era.
Around the time when the Eruin explored the southern border for the last time, mortals discovered the existence of the'Wall of the Past' for the first time.
Chaos Chronicles 1435. During this year, the fog elves and the undead of St. Osor ended the famous Starfire War, and in this year, an expedition from White City was in the north of Vaughan. The Capes on the north side of the glacier moved forward. After they set up a forward base before the construction of the Ice Fjord, they spent six years trying to ignite a fire called the'Prometheus Seed', but nothing One exception failed.
At this time, few people knew that this tiny incident, which was concealed by the Continental War, would become the fuse for changing the history of the entire continent in the future.
Around the time of Portulaca, there was a series of unpredictable failures in the Ashenvale area of Mount White Mountain, the Nalerus Peninsula to the north of Hazel, the Sea of Eternal Hope to the north of the Ring of the World, and the East of Ten Cities. In the eagle forest of, and in the ring of trade winds to the south of Eruin, none of the attempts to develop the knights during that year failed additionally.
Then came the disappearance of numerous pioneer knights and adventurers after the Year of the Dead Moon. In five years, mankind began to bump into walls everywhere in the four directions, southeast, northwest.
An'invisible line'-the wall of the past, has stopped the rapid expansion of mortals since the year of glorious return.
The pioneering knights discovered that once they crossed this invisible line on the map, the'fire' began to become extremely unstable, difficult to ignite or even impossible to ignite. However, it will not be until the prosperous years 20 years later that scholars have concluded this:
The so-called wall of the past is actually the most prosperous era since the last era—that is, the era when the gods are still walking on the earth, the border of Martha's Blessed Land in its heyday. And the territory that mankind opened up in the glorious year of return is actually just restoring the homeland.
The establishment of this academic viewpoint also sounded the clarion call for war in that era.
In the same year, the druids escaped from the world, and then in the year of glory, the people of silver escaped.
Half a century later, the second holy war broke out.
For the next five centuries, the history of the mortal world was dominated by each other's conquests, fights, conspiracies and tricks, as well as the degeneration and obsolescence of the ancient nobles.
When did the image of the brave pioneering knights holding swallow-tail flags and their fellow and like-minded companions shuttle through the dark forest gradually faded from people’s vision, and replaced by cold ones. Metal, swords shimmering in cold light, troops marching in the forest, blood flowing and blazing flames.
As we all know, since the end of the year of Glory Return, the "fire" will become after entering the Black Forest (actually, crossing the wall of the past, because in the chaos years, humans have almost expanded the land of order to the limit before and after the moss) It is extremely unstable, so it needs heavy protection and cannot withstand almost any bumps, otherwise it may go out permanently.
And even if it is well protected, a series of problems such as difficulty in igniting or even extinguishing after igniting the "fire" will occur. Therefore, after the end of the year of glorious return, human beings are on the border of civilization. The expansion of the territory is extremely limited (it is not without, because before and after the separation, the second pioneering fever emerged in areas such as Eruin in the south of Cruz, and a series of areas such as Buchi and Tonigel were established in this era) .
After the end of the second exploration, the human application of fire was actually limited to mining veins in the Black Forest-after lighting the fire, even if it was only a short time to open up an orderly place in the Black Forest, mining or selling mineral ownership It is also enough to make these people earn a lot of money.
But this has actually become an act of gambling, because the high price and rare quantity of'tinder' make a failure to ignite may mean the bankruptcy of a large number of people. Therefore, in this era, pioneering knights are no longer a shining proper noun, but have a relationship with desperadoes, gamblers, bandits, and even bandits.
Since the beginning of the summer, the expedition in the Black Forest in Eruin alone has not known how many penniless or even huge debts of the "bandit knight class" were born.
It can be said that such an orderly and successful development of the Black Forest as Tonigel is unique after the year of separation. However, Brando relied on the power of the ancient fire of the Ring of Tradewinds. Since the fire of the Ring of Tradewinds was ignited, the powerful power of order has actually begun to infiltrate and transform the order from Tonigel to the Kalanga Mountains. The environment, therefore, the pioneer knights from the fir collar can gain a foothold in the dark forest.
However, Antitina blocked all news about the Black Forest and listed it as Tonigel’s top secret. Therefore, many people generally believe that Brando’s success is due to luck-just like those in the Black Forest. Like a desperate gambler in China, he was lucky enough to ignite a rich magic crystal mine, had good luck, and won the favor of the goddess of luck, so he has today's status.
People with this kind of thinking are not only the aristocrats in the north, but there are even a lot of people in the royal party who wait to see Brando eat his money and become bad.
Antitina naturally dismissed the thoughts of these people, but this did not prevent her from understanding the value of the bright crystal that was being held by the youngest son of Tamar at the moment.
She knew that for a long time, this master alchemist had been studying the ancient fire in the depths of the trade wind circle at Brando's advice, and studying why it could ignore the'wall of the past' and behave like this. Stable and powerful force of order.
The progress of research is not fast. Although some fires are indeed produced in the laboratory, most of Tonigel’s fires are actually obtained from places like Ampersel, Braggs and Kurk. If Brando didn't insist, she almost ordered the work to stop.
The benefits obtained in the Black Forest are actually far from as high as people think. While the only few mineral veins support the consumption of Valhalla, most of the income is actually subsidized for its development work.
This is still under the condition that the area around Tonigel is affected by the fire of the Tradewind Ring, and once it continues to deepen, the subsequent investment and personnel losses are astronomical.
But all this may have to be rewritten today.
Antitina subconsciously glanced at each other with the princess next to her, each seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.
