Chapter 299 Departure From Fog Harbor

Deng Cheng is an alien ghost. The world can only see its present and cannot trace its past.

So what happened to the Lantern Clan it belongs to, how the sun was stolen, and why the Firefly God left, Lu Yao can only judge based on its description.

"The place where the Lantern Clan is located is covered by black and gray fog all year round. Each of us must light a lamp to avoid getting lost in it. The hanging lamp is the symbol of the Lantern Clan's life."

Speaking of his hometown, the flame on the head of Deng Cheng flickered, slowly illuminating a blurred square scene, which was filled with smoke and only sparse lights could be seen.

It continued: "When the sky lanterns are there, the fog in "Fog Harbor" will be dispelled a little, and visibility will increase, but it is still invisible in the distance."

"We rely on the lights to survive in the fog."

"The brightest and clearest time is when the sky lanterns rise, and the surroundings will become extremely clear. At that time, we can see each other, but more importantly, we collect materials everywhere."

Slemod asked: "Do you mean digging and smelting ore, and tanning leather?"

"No, that's not it."

Deng Cheng explained: "Many of our materials are in boxes, all kinds of boxes. Wooden boxes, iron boxes, copper boxes... The best boxes are silver boxes and gold boxes."

"Those boxes are very good materials in themselves, and they also contain many useful things, such as lamp stones, oil, and fire wires, lamp balls, iron sheets, copper rods... If you are lucky, you may find a complete lamp."

Lu Yao fell into thought.

In the world where the Lantern Clan lives, all kinds of materials are packed in boxes. This clear human trace shows that in addition to the Lantern Clan, there are other groups who are preparing or have prepared all this.

"There are also some raw materials that need to be found outside."

Deng Cheng added: "Many boxes have been opened, and even the boxes themselves have been disassembled into wood chips and metal. Sometimes we have to disassemble the bodies of our tribesmen and use the remaining parts of the bodies to help more people survive."

Slemed agreed: "Very pragmatic."

"We have to survive."

Words slowly emerged above Deng Cheng's head: "The Deng Clan has lamp stones in its head, its body is copper, iron or silver... and a few are gold, its heart is a spark disk, and there is flowing lamp oil in its body."

"If it is not attacked by fog beasts, the Deng Clan can live for a long time, as long as you pay attention to protecting your body and replenishing the oil in your body."

"After death, every part of the body is a very useful material."

Lu Yao suddenly came back to his senses.

Something is wrong.

The physiological structure of the Deng Clan is not a normal creature.

He immediately asked Slemed to ask in detail.

After Deng Cheng's detailed description, the image of the Deng Clan in Lu Yao's mind gradually became clear.

The Deng Clan is not a flesh and blood creature in the conventional sense. They are a kind of life that is almost semi-mechanical, with obvious traces of artificial manufacturing.

What gave them self-awareness was either the natural evolution of the world's rules over a long period of time, or the handiwork of the gods.

In principle, it's a bit like a beggar's version of a clockwork monkey.

According to the physiological structure of the Lantern Clan, their existence is more like specializing in lighting fires or bringing light, and making lamps is the meaning of their lives.

Like a matchstick man.

No, more like a lighter.

"Are the Lantern Clan born so strange?" Slymod asked it.

"I don't know... Fog Harbor is an ancient world. It is said that before the Lantern Clan, there were other races. Those boxes were left by them, but they should be similar to the Lantern Clan."

Lantern Cheng thought for a while, and a series of ellipsis appeared above his head.

"The last master said that the existence of the Lantern Clan is to create a new sun that can replace the sun in the sky. This is the great mission given by the Lord "Firefly God". The sky lantern is also an imitation of the sun, but it is far from the level of the sun."

"I am a little confused."

Slemod said: "Since the sun existed in the past, why do you want to replace the sun?"

"The sun will go out."

Deng Cheng said as a matter of course: "We have to create a new sun before the sun goes out, and then raise it into the sky to replace the old sun that is getting darker. The sun here is very bright, it should have been replaced not long ago, right?"

Lu Yao finally realized where the problem was.

"Fog Harbor" is a world different from the natural state.

There, the sun is some kind of advanced prop or wonder, which is wearable and has a time limit. If according to the rules of the normal world, the existence time of the sun itself is almost eternal for the life in the world.

In "Fog Harbor", the real sun does not exist at all, only high-imitation man-made products.

It is not difficult to understand why a god stole the sun here later.

The sun of the Lantern Clan is a valuable treasure.

Slymod said: "...I see. Then what is the World Pot made of?"

"The World Pot is a huge pot."

Deng Cheng gestured: "The entire "Fog Port" is on the World Pot. It spews out a constant stream of black fog. There are also various materials, boxes and strange items in the black fog, and of course there are fog beasts."

"But only gods can enter the depths of the fog and see the World Pot. The Lantern Clan can't do that. There are many fog beasts below, and there is a strong pressure. The closer you get, the stronger the power."

This description made Lu Yao think of the border of the world.

What can be determined so far is that the composition of "Mist Harbor" is different from the various known divine kingdoms, and there are obvious traces of artificial carving and transformation.

But the deeper situation of the world cannot be explained by Dengcheng.

It has no idea what the "Firefly God" is - this god disappeared before it was born.

In addition, it does not understand the identity of the alien god who stole the sun.

Dengcheng only knew that after the last great master of the Deng Clan disappeared mysteriously, the Deng Clan continued to weaken and die. A large amount of knowledge inheritance and historical secrets also sank into the endless black mist with the death of the great master.

…

After Slemud finished asking, he reported to Lu Yao: "Lord God, the matter of the lamp tribe first reminded me of an old news that the title gods had talked about."

"It is said that when the God of Darkness becomes stronger, the God of Light becomes weaker and falls into sleep. There is a relationship between these two main gods."

"The God of Darkness has turned from decline to prosperity. While hunting the gods, it will take away all the light and fire. The first one to bear the brunt is the sun."

"The sun is the trophy of the God of Darkness. Whenever he passes by the world, the sun will be extinguished or disappeared. It is not easy to do this. It is not just to destroy the sun, but to erase it from the rule level, but retain it. The order of the world itself is intact..."

"This is a way for the God of Darkness to show his power, and also because of his hatred for the God of Light."

"I think humbly, maybe a long time ago, the God of Darkness passed through "Mist Harbor", so the world lost the sun, and the local gods had to try to recast it..."

Lu Yao muttered in his heart.

I didn’t expect that “Fog Harbor” could be related to this main god.

Even the sun will be driven away. God of darkness, you are really doing all kinds of bad things!

"But when I heard about the World Pot, I realized that I was wrong."

"As for the lantern clan and the world pot... I think that the lantern clan is probably a commodity used for trading. Gods, apostles, believers, special races and even entire civilizations will also be used as trading objects among gods. This This kind of transaction is called "Lihang".

"Both the sun created there and the lamp tribe itself should be commodities."

Slemud said: "It's not that the outer gods stole the sun, but the "Firefly God" sold that sun. That's why the outer gods can enter the Kingdom of God and take it away easily."

"The "Fog Harbor" is a huge shop. You can bid for anything you need. The attack by the fog beast is probably a method of the gods. This is a display and test for the Lantern Clan."

"It's like a salesman who opens the display box and allows customers to view and try the goods inside."

Lu Yao was shocked.

The gods are really having fun.
