The realm of chaos is a turbulent and changeable place. Nothing here can last for a long time. Even the mist on the wilderness has actually had changes in concentration and color many times in the past few years, and these changes often represent Kolo. The direction of world order and chaotic forces—it is of great significance to mortals living in this world, and every tiny clue is related to the survival of countless lives.
Therefore, in the long struggle, human beings have also mastered many methods for observing and recording the realm of chaos, and one of the important recording facilities is the sacred sanctuary such as the tower of furnace fire.
The Tower of Hearthfire is not only the core of the Land of Order, but also a sentry tower for monitoring the realm of chaos. It can automatically record the tide of power in the "Sea of Karnos". Even if the fire is extinguished, the runes used to build the tower The aragonite board can also run automatically and complete recording duties for a long time, so Veronica has to check the status of the furnace tower first to figure out what happened here.
The information on corrupted monsters cannot be preserved for a long time. Once they become weak, they will quickly deteriorate and disintegrate. Therefore, it is very difficult to investigate clues from the corpses of monsters. It can only be said that it is better than nothing for the knights to check the wreckage. The clues are all hidden in the four runic tablets around the base of the Hearthfire Tower.
Deciphering these slabs is a skill that every nobleman must master. The old knight Morris is an expert in this field. After checking all the traces, the old man returned to Veronica. He nodded to Hao Ren first, and then said: "The situation... is weird."
"Strange?" Veronica frowned her heroic eyebrows. She didn't expect her teacher to give such an ambiguous answer after some inspection, "Can you explain?"
"The magic power of chaos and the power of order appear on the rune at the same time, and the boundary between the two...is much smaller than the specified value."
Veronica was stunned for a long time before finally realizing the hidden meaning of this sentence, and she was dumbfounded: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
Hao Ren listened with a dazed look on his face: "Um, what do you mean?"
The expression on Veronica's face was very strange, as if she had just heard a fairy tale, and at this time she had to explain to someone seriously: "It means... the traces left by the two forces on the rune stone gradually Assimilation is approaching, the line between chaos and order is blurring... But this is impossible! How can such a thing happen in nature?"
Hao Ren scratched his hair and decided to pretend to understand: "Oh, I understand. Then what are you going to do next?"
"It must be reported to my father immediately," Veronica pressed the hilt of the sword, her fingers turned slightly white from the force, "this matter must be discussed immediately by the royal scholars, only they can understand what it means. "
The old knight Morian whispered next to him, "Notify the Order, too."
"The Order State..." Veronica's face was obviously gloomy when she heard the name, she frowned and repeated the word, and finally exhaled softly, "Let the ministers judge, Anyway, let's set off immediately. Knights! Team up and get ready to go!"
Hao Ren shrugged and didn't participate in any opinions: he hasn't figured out many rules of this "Kolo World", so he just needs to observe silently at this time. He watched Veronica and Morian organize the team and give orders, but he just walked aside silently, and continued to try to call the data terminal and the giant turtle rock number while waiting for the short time to depart.
The signal feedback from the spiritual connection is still weak and full of noise, but the signal seems to be a little bit clearer than before—the data terminal or Nolan must be trying various channels, and Hao Ren believes that they will always be able to restore contact.
And while the knights stepped into the fog of chaos again, and the brilliance of the Tower of Hearthfire gradually extinguished behind them, something was happening in another corner of the world.
On the southern border of the Talos Kingdom, the land came to an abrupt end, and a "tail" extending southward from the Shadow Forest was cut neatly here. The edge of the forest was a bottomless and endless abyss. The bottom of the cliff is rolling and surging. Standing here and looking forward, it seems to be standing at the end of the world - land, sea, river, forest, all end here.
However, this is not the end of the world. This is just the edge of the "Anzu Continent" where the Talos Kingdom is located. This land floats in the Sea of Karnos just like other continents, with nothingness up, down, left, and right. The Kingdom of Talos is a small kingdom on the southern edge of the continent. It has a natural southern border, which is the "cliff" in front of it: it is actually the border of the Ansu continent.
Continuing south from this border is not empty, there are many huge floating islands floating in the void outside the southern border.
Scholars believe that these giant floating islands were once part of the Anzu continent, and that Anzu and many other continents were originally connected as one - the ancient evil giant "Loch Marton" broke free from his shackles and angrily beat The earth tore apart the ancient Keluo Continent. After that, Keluo, which was originally integrated, became the appearance of many floating continents floating around.
Large landmasses are suspended relatively fixedly in the Sea of Karnos, while small fragments float between these continents, some become the homes of sub-races or monsters, and some become the transportation hubs of the human kingdom.
The floating islands floating outside the southern border of Talos belong to the former: sub-races living outside the civilized world occupy these islands.
There are dense jungles and water sources full of magic power on these islands, so the beasts living on these floating islands are not only numerous in number, but also have undergone some changes to some extent. Low-level intelligent creatures like apes stand out from their beast relatives. Although their intelligence is ridiculous in the eyes of humans, it is still enough to make them the overlords of these floating islands. On the sea, wisps of chaotic breath often set off storms in the void, so those highly intelligent species on the mainland rarely come to trouble these small "kingdoms" on floating islands. Live a leisurely life.
Fighting, having babies, and living a fulfilling life.
But this leisurely atmosphere was suddenly broken.
Glugelu is an old devil ape living in the forest. Although it is three hundred and forty-five years old this year, it still knows little about the outside world—the floating island where it lives is lucky to hide from the world. After every tide of chaos in the past three centuries, the old devil ape has seen the scene of the forest on the other side of the void being torn apart by the storm again and again, so it thinks that the outside world is so dangerous. The devil ape shouldn't be interested in the opposite continent, even if the forest there looks denser than the floating island, even if there seems to be a wider territory, it and its clansmen should keep a respectful distance from it. .
So it never left its forest, and indeed it could not: who but those who fly can cross the vast void between island and continent
But now it can't continue its own principles, because it has to prepare and prepare for a journey to the opposite continent.
The old devil ape sighed, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with those rattan and wood chips, and beside him, his clansmen were also doing the same thing. As one of the most dexterous subraces in the forest, the apes can make quite complicated tools, and now this talent is their only daily task: their job is to assemble these things into some very, very large baskets , to fit underneath something called a "hot air balloon".
Gluglu looked back and saw that the gnolls were shouting messy slogans and drying a pile of blue leather on the rack, and farther away, dwarves were screaming and stacking stones. Get up, so that it can be made into a huge drying furnace to process the wood collected from the forest: it is said that the wood will eventually be made into the skeleton of the hot air balloon, or maybe the girder... who knows? A furbolg gleefully uttered a bunch of nonsense after being rewarded by the "wolf chief", but the furbolg was notoriously stupid, and it probably didn't even remember what the wolf monster said.
Glugel only knew one thing, that the blue leather that the gnolls were drying once belonged to a terrible monster, it was a wild blue devil whale that swam from the depths of the Sea of Karnos, the one that covered the sky and the sun The behemoth can come and go freely in the sea of Karnos full of various energies, and it is simply a terrifying god to the subraces living on the floating island—however, after a day and a night of fighting, the alpha wolf killed it. According to a jackal man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, the head wolf was sitting on the carcass of the blue magic whale, eating its bone marrow and tearing off the latter's outer skin. That's when the plan to make a "hot air balloon" started.
That's why Gelugeloo had to obey the command of the alpha wolf. Even though it was extremely unwilling to leave the safe forest, and even though it had great fear of "flying through the void", it was still weaving rattan obediently, Just like those gnolls and furbolgs who had already expressed their surrender.
Because it knows very well that the Alpha Wolf is extremely powerful—at least stronger than the Blue Demon Whale.
And it is impossible for any creature on this floating island to beat her.
So since the "wolves" want to go to the continent occupied by humans, they can only obey. (to be continued~^~)
