Chapter 1062 The Place Where All Lights Finally Fade [Please Vote]

According to what Zong Shen learned.

The giant city-level teleportation arrays in today's aboriginal kingdoms are also divided into different models.

The most common one is the giant city basic teleportation array, which is designed to meet the needs of fast teleportation of adjacent giant city-level units.

This type of space teleportation magic array is a typical directional teleportation.

Usually the scale of the magic array is relatively large, which can meet the needs of legion-level personnel and baggage migration in a short period of time, and also has certain anti-interference capabilities.

But it is also equipped with small and medium-sized intercity teleportation arrays to deal with businessmen, travelers and other residents who need cross-city teleportation.

Of course, there is a certain fee for teleportation. Individuals even have to wait for the number of people to reach a starting point before they can teleport.

Because of this, the span distance of this intercity teleportation array is basically within 10,000 kilometers.

At the same time, the intercity teleportation array is also the most common magic teleportation array among giant city-level units.

In addition, there are teleportation arrays targeting the center of specific areas.

It can achieve long-distance transmission up to about 100,000 kilometers. This distance can already meet the mission of penetrating the regional center.

However, the number of such teleportation magic arrays is relatively small, and only a few large cities located on direct teleportation nodes have them.

It is said that there is an ultra-long-distance teleportation array capable of teleporting 990,000 kilometers.

I heard that there are only two or three in a kingdom, and the layout is extremely concealed. They are used to secretly connect nodes in different directions in the kingdom. They are basically not used at ordinary times because they are extremely difficult to maintain. They are all from ancient times. Once copied or handed down, it is difficult to repair once it is scrapped.

At least according to today's space magic energy technology, it is difficult to repair.

After all, this is a magic teleportation array close to a million kilometers level.

Unless there is some serious matter of destroying the country, otherwise, even the kings of various countries cannot use it.

Back then, King Ragnar of the Nord Kingdom was teleporting level by level through the 100,000-kilometer and inter-city teleportation arrays, heading towards the border of the Kingdom of Avalon. The journey lasted half a month.

Along the way, we checked out the key fortresses and trading cities.

That's why the slutty Queen Sandina was given the opportunity to take advantage of her.

See the opportunity and launch an assassination operation.

But in the end, due to Zong Shen's interference, the operation failed.

This kicked off the civil war in the Kingdom of Nord.

A war broke out between the Trevathin family and the Lodbrok royal family.

Excluding some fence-sitting parties and fringe nobles who maintain a wait-and-see attitude, the two families are roughly 1:2 based on the territory they occupy, the number of giant cities, and the population within their jurisdiction.

On the surface, the Trivasin family is at a disadvantage, but in reality the outcome of the war is not so easy.

Two-thirds beats one-third, and there is a heavy price to pay.

Not to mention that the Trivasin family has also connected with many powerful mercenary groups, and mercenary unions and adventurer unions in various countries have offered generous prices.

The situation of stalemate and mutual friction and testing between the two sides will continue.

Until one party accumulates enough strength for a decisive battle.

Referring to King Ragnar's teleportation mode at that time, we can see how the giant city-level teleportation array nodes are arranged.

Under such circumstances, it is by no means an easy task to carry out millions of kilometers of transmission.

Not to mention, it also involves crossing the border of the kingdom, such a sensitive area.

The border between the two countries usually defaults to a buffer area thousands of kilometers wide.

At the same time, forts will be built on their respective borders.

For example, the Kingdom of Nord and the Kingdom of Avalon, in the direction close to Zong Shen, have the rotten bone forest that stretches for three to four thousand kilometers as a buffer.

(Zong Shen’s territory is located in the north-east direction of the Kingdom of Avalon. It is adjacent to the Kingdom of Nord and can reach the ocean within tens of thousands of kilometers to the east. There are still some errors in the fan map in the book club.)

In the border area, there is even the huge city of Wolf Fang Castle, which serves as a fortress node.

You must know that the relationship between Nord and Avalon is pretty good.

But the Salander Sultanate was different.

As a country that unites politics and religion and deifies and worships the royal power, the Salander Sultanate's strategy is relatively closed and conservative.

Its relations with the major kingdoms are average.

There was even a conflict with the Kingdom of Avalon hundreds of years ago.

The giant city-level teleportation on the border between the two countries is basically interrupted.

In addition, at a distance scale of nearly two million kilometers, there are still a large number of uninhabited areas, wastelands, strange places, dangerous places and demiplanes along the way, so this journey is destined to be full of hardships.

The giant city-level teleportation array may not necessarily ensure that he reaches the border directly. It is very likely that he will need to use flying monsters and other means to cross the "transportation incompetent" area on the way.

If the trip goes well, it will take at least several months to go there.

If something goes wrong or something goes wrong along the way, it's not impossible to delay the trip in years.

This was really too long for Zong Shen.

Although he was preparing to travel far, he did not intend to run so far.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen curled his lips and sighed silently in his heart.

"It seems that we won't be able to get the Phoenix anytime soon."

"Unless I can figure out the secret to Hearthstone teleportation."

If you want to dominate the endless continent, you cannot avoid space movement technology.

The vast continent itself has natural obstacles for ambitious people.

That's the distance scale!

Whether it is a flying monster or a land monster, it is difficult to achieve rapid attack over long distances.

Therefore, space movement has become the key to dominating the continent in the future!

"That's a phoenix!"

In Zong Shen's mind, the image of the leaping flame bird burning with golden fire was particularly vivid.

With a final sigh, he put the [Indus Tree Branch that is not afraid of flames (unknown)] into the storage compartment.

Based on the principle of out of sight, out of mind, I checked the next unknown item.

I saw Zong Shen's wrist flicking, and there was a letter written on thick leather paper between his two fingers.

Thick leather paper, also known as tanned paper, is animal skin that has been repeatedly tanned and becomes light and translucent.

This kind of paper has a short shelf life, has a strong smell, and will rot in a humid environment within a few years, so it was quickly eliminated.

The Endless Continent has corresponding papermaking technology, and civilians can also afford rough fiber paper.

Nobles could choose pure white silk or more expensive paper.

As far as Zong Shen knows, this kind of sticky paper is relatively rare in today's Endless Continent.

Books made of sticky paper will smell bad when placed.

But this is a letter with an unknown rating after all. It must be that its origin is not that simple, and it may contain some clues about a bygone era.

There is no special envelope on the outside of the leather letter paper. It is simply folded up and down, and then stamped with a black paint seal without any emblem.

The letter had been opened and the wax seal was stuck to one side.

Zong Shen opened the letter without any hesitation, but after opening it, there was not much text.

You can only vaguely see half-brown lines under the moonlight, which seem to be drawn on a rather blurry map.

Other than that, there is only a line of small words written at the bottom.

Judging from the structure of the characters, it is not a common lingua franca in mainland China.

Fortunately, the strategy module can realize instant translation.

This passage was quickly converted into a common Chinese text that Zong Shen could understand in the form of golden subtitles.

[Everything is placed in the place where all lights fade]

…

Zong Shen looked confused when he read this paragraph, and felt that there seemed to be some great secret hidden behind this sticky paper letter.

After all, this is [The family letter of the great thief Ka Mor (unknown)]. With the three words "great thief" circled, he must take the test!

This is a high-level professional prefix similar to "Master Master".

It can be understood as a mentor-level thief.

The code words in family letters left by such a person are likely to convey some secret.

"Mysterious Riddler style."

"Is this a treasure map?"

Zong Shen thought silently in his heart.

Whether it's the sticky paper with a vague map on it, or the meaningful message in unknown words, combined with the identity of the big thief, it's not difficult to guess some clues.

This leather letter had obviously been studied repeatedly by its previous owner.

But in the absence of information support, it is not easy to solve the problems.

Even if it can be confirmed that what is drawn on the sticky paper is indeed a map.

But the Endless Continent is so big, who knows which area this map actually depicts?

With this little information, trying to find the treasure or other things hidden behind it is like catching dust in the sea of ​​​​stars.

Zong Shen also understood this. He was not in a hurry to get the answer. Instead, he calmly stared at the slightly fishy and sticky paper in his hand.

He has the strategy module to help him, so he can easily solve the secrets and so on.

However, geographical distance is always a big problem. There are treasures and opportunities that may be difficult to reach even if he knows the location.

However, no matter what, figuring out the details of this thing is an essential step.

As he stared, the corresponding information list quickly appeared.

[The great thief Ka Mor’s home letter (unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[A family letter written by the great thief Ka Mor and sent to his son Darla Mor. The vellum paper itself has been blessed with simple solidification magic to ensure that its shelf life can be extended and that it will not deteriorate quickly. 】

(The letter home describes the route through the underground stone forest labyrinth.

Buried there are the stolen goods and treasures obtained by the Demon Hand Thieves Group for many years)

…

Whether it is system information or notes on the strategy module, it is very simple.

This just illustrates the difficulty of this thing.

Put it in the hands of ordinary lords, even if they try hard to find it, it is difficult to find the place, and it is even more difficult to decipher the code written in unknown characters.

After Zong Shen read the relevant information in this family letter, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"The treasure and stolen goods obtained by the Demon Hand Thieves Group over the years?"

"This reminds me of the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves..."

He exclaimed in a low voice, feeling amused in his heart.

"Then please tell me where this so-called underground stone forest maze is?"

It’s the strategy module’s turn to answer this kind of question again.

In just a moment, detailed information and answers appeared in Zong Shen's mind.

(Refer to the current kingdom area, located in the Kingdom of Swadia, in the giant plate rift valley of the Karag Red Gobi)

…

Zong Shen nodded as if he was suddenly aware.

"The Kingdom of Swadia?"

"I've heard of Karag's Red Desert. I learned about it when I was dealing with the centaurs of the Wildhoof Clan."

"Isn't that the ancestral land of centaurs and tauren?"

He pondered over the information he had learned earlier.

"Anyway, let's put it away first."

“Don’t even think about traveling across countries anytime soon.”

"The Karag Red Desert is a large area with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers."

"There are red rock Gobis and a large number of rift valleys and ravines."

"Ordinary people who want to find treasures in it are simply wishful thinking."

Zong Shen didn't worry about being intercepted, so he kept the family letter directly.

It will serve as a clue to discover the thieves' treasure.

Just like a thread, trace it back to its source.

Immediately afterwards, Zong Shen took out the next item.

Only half of the light golden card remains!

The card is extremely beautifully crafted, with tangled vines, flowers and a two-headed bird drawn around the edges.

The card shows a little girl cuddling up to a sleeping lion.

Unfortunately, the card itself is torn, with the lower half missing, and it always looks incomplete.

This half of an exquisite card is called [Incomplete Lucky Tarot Card: Major Arcana Card·Power (Special)], and many keywords can be found just from the name of the item.

Tarot cards are an ancient divination tool on Earth.

It was popular in the Middle Ages in Europe, but its origin is a mystery.

It is also the fifth common divination tool besides [copper coins], [compass], [tags], and [筊].

Until the coming of the Earth Lords, many theologians still studied the legends and secrets of the origins of the Tarot.

Zong Shen is not sure whether the half of the tarot cards in his hand are the same thing as the tarot cards on earth.

Because the three words of this tarot card are based on a translation of the common language of mainland China.

Therefore, it is very likely that the concepts of the two are similar, but the details are completely different.

Just when he was about to check further.

Suddenly, the tarot cards in his hand trembled.

The single golden card surface suddenly became brighter, blooming with bright golden light.

Suddenly, the shadow of a standing lion appeared in the light.

The lion rides on the back of a faceless little girl.

It seems that due to the incompleteness of the card, the shadow did not continue to become solid. Instead, it was like a momentary firework that appeared briefly and then extinguished.

But this situation attracted Zong Shen's attention.

Because at that moment, his heart suddenly palpitated and he felt some kind of call.

It was obvious that this card had some kind of reaction on him.

It is impossible to say whether this reaction is good or bad, passive or active.

But there must be a reason for it, and it deserves Zong Shen’s careful investigation!

His intuition told him that this card had a strange affinity with him!
