Chaos isn't just monsters coming out of the mist, and monsters aren't just coming out of the mist.
The light-packed knights trekked on foot in the barren wilderness. Without the infestation of monsters, this flat plain was not difficult to walk. In the process of crossing the plain, Hao Ren gradually learned from Veronica that A lot of common sense to this "kolo world".
Includes knowledge of Chaos, Monsters, Mist, Order, and Darkness.
At first, Hao Ren thought that the mist covering the plain and the monsters condensed from the mist were chaos, but now he realized that this mist is only a phenomenon unique to the barren wilderness, and it has different effects in different chaotic realms. Mutant environment, monsters will be born from the environment in various forms. There are lingering fogs in the barren wilderness, shadowy lands in the shadow forest, ever-changing bottomless quagmire in the dark swamp, in addition to the desert of oblivion, the coastline of Cape Storm, the gray sea, the river of deep space, etc. There are numerous chaotic territories, large and small, almost every place has its own unique characteristics, and what they have in common is the rejection of life and the destruction of order.
Kolo is a vast world composed of many independent continents. According to Veronica, these continents float in the nothingness called "Karnos", and follow some kind of profound rules formulated by God. It is running, and the power of chaos and order is rising and falling in the nothingness of Karnos, and the waves they roll will beat on the mainland, thus producing the people of order and the slaves of chaos, the believers of order and the followers of chaos The process of the opponents repeatedly competing for the world is the substantive embodiment of Karnos' power conflict.
This is an endless war that has continued since the beginning of historical records. The power of chaos will spread from nothingness, erode and destroy the world of order, make the time sequence abnormal, the energy out of control, and the mountains and rivers will be wiped out in an instant. Under their influence, the rich The land in the land has become a life restricted area like barren wilderness and shadow forest, and monsters continue to appear out of thin air in these areas, as pawns of the forces of chaos, constantly attacking the defense line of order.
The light of order is the grace and protection bestowed by the goddess of creation to intelligent beings. It is the source of all light in the world and exists in the form of furnace fire, firewood, and divine light. They form barriers of order, and human beings and other races The kingdom of China prospers and prospers behind these barriers of order, so that the world will not completely fall into darkness.
According to Corot's wisest scholars, this back-and-forth scramble has been going on for ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is another crucial time.
The speed of the team's trek across the wasteland was not too slow—much faster than Hao Ren expected. Now the holy mountain Kasuan has disappeared into the vast darkness behind, leaving only the endless desolate plain ahead. In fact, Veronica could not see the holy mountain behind her more than ten minutes ago, but Hao Ren's extraordinary vision allowed him to see further.
It's just that in this barren land, even the best eyesight can't see much.
The divine radiance produced by the "holy object" shrouded the nearby area within a hundred meters. Not only did the mist recede, but even the gray luster on the ground seemed to fade a lot. The knights have never seen such a powerful protective power, and the purification effect and reassuring atmosphere produced by this "Symme" are completely different from the golden battle flag or amulet of order they are familiar with. They didn't know that what Hao Ren lent them was a real "artifact", so they could only attribute this powerful treasure to the lost technology of the previous generation. Under the shroud of the holy light, the mist outside the Land of Order slowly rotated and moved like a layer of thin soup, as if it wanted to attack the humans within the range of the light at any time, but it was afraid of the power of the artifact and hesitated.
Morian couldn't help sighing softly when he saw this scene: "Alas... If every army has such a sacred object as shelter, our battle in the realm of chaos will be much easier."
Hao Ren didn't respond. He already knew how much the human beings in this "Kolo World" had sacrificed in the face of chaos, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Human beings cannot survive in the realm of chaos. Even if they just breathe the air here, they will quickly exhaust their vitality and be gradually assimilated into a part of chaos. Among them.
Veronica took out a round, pocket-watch-like talisman from her bosom, with various magical lights moving slowly on this talisman, she calibrated the orientation and distance with this talisman, and exhaled softly: " We are walking on the route we came from, as long as we go in this direction, we will see a ruin in a short time, we will rest there for a while, and then go straight to the hill of the unknown soldier. If we are fast enough, maybe we There is still time to catch up with the battle in the kingdom's western border."
The knight princess lightly pursed her thin lips, her expression was determined and fearless, and when she was an army commander, the temperament she displayed was still impressive.
But Hao Ren couldn't help but look at her twice: "You guys still want to fight when you go back? Is it just in this state?"
Almost all the knights behind Veronica were wounded, and the simple treatment in the temple was not enough to heal everyone. However, after hearing Hao Ren's question, each of these warriors just smiled indifferently , a young knight waved his hand: "It's really not in a good state - I can only kill about twenty monsters."
Veronica looked back at the warriors who had been with her through life and death. She couldn't help but loosen the tense expression she had been trying to do. She shook her head: "The Talos royal family will not retreat in the face of battle—but you have completed your mission. After returning, I will Join the General of the Western Territory, and after that..."
"Your Highness," the old knight Morian gave Veronica a stern look, "This is not what the commander should say!"
The young people in the team looked at this scene and let out good-natured laughter. In the eyes of these warriors who were only a few years older than the princess, although this respectable knight-princess was remarkable in commanding battles, But otherwise immature.
Impulsive and reckless, and there are always some naive and innocent ideas coming out.
The optimism and fearlessness of these people made Hao Ren look sideways. He had seen many races trapped in the doomsday, but this one... made him feel a little different.
He turned his head and looked at the wilderness ahead. At this moment, a faint building appeared at the end of his field of vision.
Hao Ren raised his finger and pointed in that direction: "Is that the relic you mentioned?"
Veronica was taken aback, and immediately turned her head to look, but all she could see was endless darkness and chaos, and beyond a certain range, large groups of distorted black clumps obstructed her sight.
"Can you see it?" The knight princess looked at Hao Ren in surprise, "Won't the chaotic fog in the distance blind your eyes?"
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "It's true that the fog affects the sight, but it's just to see things closer."
"The fog of chaos doesn't just affect the sight, it will swallow the truth in the distance. From a certain distance, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't see anything," Veronica once again revealed an unknown life when she looked at Hao Ren The eyes of the body, "so regardless of strength, everyone's field of vision in the land of chaos is the same. Only special detection magic can detect the situation beyond the 'limit of vision'."
As she spoke, she muttered softly: "Could it be that the eyes of ancient people all had the effect of 'detecting chaos'?"
After hearing Veronica's words, Hao Ren was stunned. Only then did he realize why the knights were at a loss when he rushed down from the mountain to support them. It's that they are almost half blind in the realm of chaos!
Hao Ren rubbed his eyes, vaguely guessing why he was different from others.
In the dark, he seemed to hear a voice, and that voice said to him casually: "My mother is covering you."
He grinned and shook his head with a strange smile: "Thank you so much, sister goddess, I've become a hot eye here."
Soon, Hao Ren's extraordinary "eyesight" was confirmed.
When the Knights continued to move forward for an hour, a collapsed and abandoned building wreck suddenly appeared in Veronica and Morian's field of vision.
Just as the holy mountain suddenly jumped into view, the buildings jumped out of the darkness at once.
Morian looked at Hao Ren up and down for a long time, until the latter looked hairy, and then the old knight took the lead and walked towards the ruins: "Everyone follow up, don't fall behind, and be vigilant—we have already lit the fire here before." Furnace fire, there may be corrupted monsters attracted here." (To be continued~^~)
