Chapter 1193 The Passage of Crystal Rock Hill

The latest website: Around the Kingdom of God, there are layers of ruins and wreckage left over from the ancient times. The huge "ring belt" formed by them revolves around the Kingdom of the Gods day and night, like a tiger watching The blind beasts are waiting for the new Kingdom of God to be shattered, waiting for the unfallen gods to be torn apart and become new fragments in this huge sea of ​​ruins...

This is the realm of God described by Enya—in a sense, it should be the "deep realm" that Gao Wen had heard about, the strange realm in the deep sea that was outlined and projected by mortal thoughts.

So far, many vague and superficial concepts that he had never understood finally became clear.

After Enya's voice fell, Gao Wen was silent and thought for a long time, and then he spoke thoughtfully: "The wreckage keeps piling up like this? So can it be understood in this way, if we have a way to come to God? The country and can resist the erosion there, we can even find the historical projections of the ancient times from the sea of ​​ruins? Find the traces of thoughts created by the civilizations that have long since perished?"

"Theoretically, if you can really reach the Kingdom of God and capture those fragments, then you can do this kind of thing, but you can't go back indefinitely," Enya said softly, "Those fragments don't last indefinitely, although their rate of disintegration has become very slow, they still have a cycle of extinction - according to my memory, the oldest fragments can only survive hundreds of thousands of years after the civilization dies , After that, it will slowly become blurred and distorted, and 'sink' into the lower layers of the deep sea little by little, until it is far away from all the realms of the Kingdom of God, and becomes a meaningless noise in the deep sea, completely dissipating.

"At that time, maybe it will be regarded as the real 'end echo' of a civilization."

"Is it the last projection of a civilization left in the 'deep sea'..." Gawain suddenly felt something, imagining what kind of scene it was in his mind, and at the same time couldn't help sighing softly, but soon he realized Breaking away from the emotions, I returned my attention to the topic I talked about before, "In short, there are indeed things outside the Divine Palace, at least there are countless ruins and wrecks orbiting them with a death cycle of hundreds of thousands of years, and These 'echoes of thoughts' from the extinct civilizations of ancient times no longer possess the various powers and characteristics of 'gods'—is that so?"

A gentle voice came from Enya's eggshell: "It's almost understandable in this way."

"The ones who came to our world in the body of Sister Ferna..." Gawain frowned slightly, "Could it be these 'things' crawling out of the ruins?"

"I don't think it's possible," Enya said in a deep voice, "In the depths of my memory, before the 'stitching' happened to the dragon gods, they used to stare at the periphery of their own kingdom of God for a long time , in the observation period of tens of thousands of years,

Nothing that can be called a 'living creature' appeared in those ruins... As I said just now, those are just the fragments of the old era, which are the various thoughts created by the extinct civilization. The projections in the deep sea, with the destruction of the main body of civilization, these projections have lost their "source" of activity, how can there be things that can "crawl out" from the sea of ​​ruins? "

As she spoke, the shimmering runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell slowly walked, and her tone carried a hint of memory and exclamation: "Those wreckage fragments... are just lifeless objects between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of God. It’s just running in the chaos year after year. I... the individuals who make up me have also tried to dig out some secrets from those fragments, but firstly, we cannot leave our own kingdom of God to act at will, and secondly, we dare not Get in touch with the products of thought trends outside the Kingdom of God—the potential pollution from ancient times is hidden in the sea of ​​ruins. Although they are all 'dead' in theory, who can guarantee that there will not be a trace of thought trend projections in those ancient reverberations that can be just right? Resonate with us?"

Gawain thought for a long time, then nodded lightly, but he had some doubts: "Aside from those ruins, is there anything else outside the Kingdom of God?"

"At least in my memory...not anymore," Enya said in a deep voice after a little recollection, "but I also said that my memory of the Kingdom of God stopped at 1.87 million years ago—where Afterwards, I became a stitched body of the gods, a monster that descended into the present world, and my connection with the realm of the kingdom of God—or in other words, the "deep realm" was cut off. After that, is there anything there? change, I don't know.

"However, I don't think there will be any changes in the realm of the kingdom of God... Its birth and operation are based on the basic laws of this world. As long as the basic laws of this world do not change, the projection rules of the realm of the kingdom of God will not change. , at most there will only be the constant replacement of ruins and wreckage."

Gao Wen thought for a while, and said slowly: "Amoen and Mirmina should know about the 'recent situation' over there, right?"

"They must have newer information than me, but I don't recommend you to ask them, at least not now," Enya solemnly reminded, "The realm of the Kingdom of God is not exclusive to a certain god, the laws behind it Point directly at the gods——before you successfully step into the Kingdom of God of War, rashly inquiring about this aspect will most likely lead to the spread of pollution. Once the information you hear from the two of them accidentally points to a certain A deity in poor condition, the 'advent' on the battlefield of Winterhold may be repeated at any time. This level of impact...is unstoppable with your immature 'anti-god barrier' technology."

To be honest, Gao Wen really had a bold idea in his mind just now, planning to feed twenty catties of jelly beans to the control mastermind of the anti-theistic barrier, overload the barrier and then run to consult with Mir Mina Regarding the situation in the Kingdom of God, he calmed down instantly when he heard Enya's serious warning, but at the same time he was vigilant in his heart, he couldn't help but want to play some tricks, so he asked casually: " Then can we use some roundabout methods-for example, you can ask them, and you can tell me after they tell you, in theory, you will neither be polluted nor pollute others..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a strange "gaze" on himself - who would believe this? He was stared at by an egg——Enya's helpless and dumbfounded voice sounded: "Why didn't I realize that you have such an 'uninhibited' side before? Do you want to use this kind of jumping method?" get out?"

"This is a bold idea of ​​mine..."

"Then put away your bold ideas, my friend, it won't work," Enya sighed, "The question is not 'who told you', the question is 'where does the knowledge come from'— —Pollution depends on the source of cognition, and this law cannot be avoided.”

"Okay, okay," Gao Wen said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, nodding and waving his hands, "but now that I've said this, I have to confirm—if we arrive at the Kingdom of God of War and see it with our own eyes, Is there really no problem? This is also a kind of cognition, but the way of cognition has changed from the two retired gods to our active exploration, so will it not touch other gods? ?”

"As long as you don't directly enter the domain of other gods, there will be no problems," Enya's answer is very affirmative this time, "As for the differences in cognitive pathways... this is the key point I have been trying to tell you all along Elements': The active exploration of mortals is towards knowledge; the 'information' from the gods is to be chased by knowledge - this is the 'direction' of pollution, regardless of the blind worship of 'black box knowledge' leading to divinity Growth, or the blind awe of the "mystery and unknown" that leads to the growth of faith, is essentially the result of this "choice", which is exactly the mistake that the Dragon Clan made in the Reverse Tide Empire more than a million years ago:

"The Dragon Clan made the Reverse Tide Empire fall into the direction of being 'chased by knowledge' and was unable to reverse this process, so the birth of the God of Reverse Tide became inevitable.

"What you need to pay attention to is exactly this: No matter what method you use to explore the unknown and decipher the truth, you must remember that it is mortals who are going to meet knowledge and not fall into the fate of being chased by knowledge. This way, you can avoid most of the pollution risks.”

"You should take the initiative to meet knowledge, don't you be chased by knowledge..." Gao Wen repeated this sentence thoughtfully, his expression became serious, and finally nodded solemnly, "I made a note of it. But having said that, You feel like a worried mother today, always reminding me of various things."

The running runes on the surface of Enya's eggshell stopped for a moment, and then the helpless voice of the former goddess came from inside the eggshell: "Gao Wen, don't you think this kind of statement is a bit rude to a lady?" Is it?"

"Aha, I'm sorry," Gao Wen laughed, he obviously judged from Enya's tone that she wasn't angry, it was just a joke between two friends, "but your state today is really a bit mean. "

"Is that so..." Enya said thoughtfully, and then she focused on the small dragon egg not far away, "Probably because I have been taking care of this egg for a while... Take care of it." The process of being a cub tends to make the mentality worry about gains and losses. I always thought that this kind of thing was only effective for mortal races, but I didn’t expect that I would be affected by it myself.”

"Is that so?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, then got up from the sofa, walked to the dragon egg not far away, and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what's the condition of this egg? Melita seems to be visiting it a lot these days?"

"Yes, Melita and Noretta have come here often recently, they are very concerned about their 'children'," Enya said with a smile in her tone, "As for this egg...it is in very good condition, it has already entered the hatching process At the end of the end, the day when the baby dragon will emerge from its shell is coming soon. However, this is also the most vulnerable stage of the dragon egg. The baby dragon is in the critical moment of the formation of the heart, lungs and part of the nervous system, so even I dare not check the egg casually. The situation inside the shell—but I can still feel the surging life force escaping from it, this must be a healthy and lively little guy."

"For Tarrond, the newborn baby dragon means hope," Gawain couldn't help but smile, as if he recalled the spring when this land was still hard to open up, recalling this The first baby born on the land, "We should celebrate when the time comes."

...

On the vast and scorched-earth plain, the cold wind whizzed across the large unsheltered land, bringing snow dust and dust, but on such a vast and open plain, there was An abrupt hill stands on the ground - it rises from the center of the plain, surrounded by ruins of pipes and storage tanks that have been melted and deformed to the point where the original form is almost completely indistinguishable, crystallized plate material is spread all over it, and along the uplift The terrain extends all the way up, forming a hill that seems to be cast from a large number of irregular crystals. Those criss-cross crystals point to the sky along the mountain. .

The young huntress Lola and her companions stood on the assembly ground in front of the hill, surrounded by several other teams of adventurers gathered, and several huge dragon warriors landed near the teams, covering the sky. The day's dragon wings had just been retracted, and the snow and sand disturbed by the dragon wings were gradually calming down on the ground.

"This is the crystal rock hill..." Laura raised her head, stared at the strangely shaped hill in front of her, and her eyes fell on the jagged and intertwined crystal clusters, with an exclamation in her voice, "I have worked hard for so long... from Ah The safe passage from Gondor to Crystal Rock Hill has finally been stabilized, and when the forward camp is established here, there will be a large area of ​​safety.”

A companion smiled beside her: "Yeah - thinking about it this way, I really have a sense of accomplishment, as if I have done something great."

Lola nodded with a smile. She knew that the adventurers gathered in this land were not heroes. They traveled all the way to this barren land just to get rich once they returned. That's all - the high-energy materials that can be seen everywhere on the land of Tarrond, as well as the elements and spirit creatures that are already rare in the Loren continent attract them, let them fight here, this kind of motivation... no matter how beautified the description , nor great.

But when they and the giant dragon cleared away the danger in an area, rebuilt a crucial passage, and opened up a new safe zone in the wasteland, even the most selfish adventurers will inevitably feel the danger in their hearts. There will be some passionate feelings, some feelings of "becoming a hero".

"It looks so beautiful," a female swordsman narrowed her eyes, admiring the clear crystals on the crystal rock hill. "I heard that this used to be a factory? What raw materials escaped after the factory melted down were impacted by divine power, Turned into this beautiful crystallization...it looks like a crown..."

However, as soon as the female swordsman finished speaking, an unharmonious voice suddenly sounded in the team: "But why do I look like the pimples of Mother Earth... Such a structure suddenly appeared on the plain..."

As soon as this discordant voice came out, Laura immediately frowned, but when she looked around, she saw the old mage Mordir wearing a black soft hat standing in the middle of the team, while licking his Beard, while looking innocently to the left and right, spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I just feel something..."

After seeing who the speaker was, several eyes that focused on the past immediately retracted, including Laura's own.

It's Master Mordir, it's all right.jpg.

(I wish you all a Happy New Year!)
