Chapter 3027 Winter Is Approaching (Ⅱ)

After the three-month "Winter of Swords" ended, the most terrifying "Winter of Wolves" descended on the world.

At this stage, the threats faced by human beings are not only cold currents and ice arrows, but even the souls of the dead cannot escape from the bitter sea, imprisoned by supernatural blizzards, and transformed into vicious ghosts and wandering ghosts.

As for livestock and beasts, their souls after death will also be bound by the "Winter of Fenbulle", reincarnated in the wind and snow as winter wolves and other cruel cold subspecies of monsters. In order to fill their stomachs, they ruthlessly hunt and kill the remaining humans, making There are groups of wolves all over the land, and there are few people.

This is the meaning of "Winter of the Wolf".

But don't think that after surviving the "winter of wolves" you will usher in a turning point.

In fact, the "Winter of Fimbul", which included the "Winter of the Wind", "Winter of the Sword", and "Winter of the Wolf", was only the prologue of a more terrible disaster.

After three winters, not only will the weather not get warmer, but even the sun will be covered by clouds as thick as lead, and light will become a rare thing in the eyes of the world.

Winter snow, ice rain, and evil wolves will continue to ravage this disaster-ridden silver world, and the temperature will continue to drop. If the living people lack magical protection against low temperature and curses, and they are not of cold blood, then as long as they suffer a little bit of flesh and blood Injury, the wound will continue to bleed and cannot heal naturally, which is like suffering from severe "hemophilia".

This period of little hope, even according to the most optimistic forecasts, will last for centuries.

After that, the world of Vales may be able to usher in a new era of melting snow and sunshine, but what does that have to do with you and me?

In terms of probability, an ordinary person, including his relatives, friends and descendants, will die before the end of the Ice Age.

Even if there is a day when all hardships come, the number of survivors in human society is so small that it can be ignored, and it is doubtful whether human civilization can be rebuilt.

Thinking back to when he was young, Joan listened to Conti and Lao Bai chanting the lament about the "Winter of Fimbul" in "Sybil's Prophecy Book", recalling the past glory of the Asa Protoss, and lamenting the current downfall. Some take it for granted.

At that time, he was still too young. He thought that as long as he worked hard, there would be no difficulty in the world. He thought too simply about the continuation of this world and civilization. He felt that the main reason why the Asa people declined to where they are today is not natural disasters and man-made disasters, but their own. I don't live up to it.

If the ancestors of the Asa people were united and actively resisted the natural disasters, at least the advanced technology and valuable knowledge they had mastered at that time could be properly preserved for future generations to inherit and carry forward, and they would not be reduced to today's white people. Civilization is crushed, and it is despised as a "barbarian".

However, as she grew older and experienced more and more, Qiao An gradually realized that her previous thoughts were both naive and arrogant.

Didn't the ancestors of the Asa people want to preserve the fire of civilization?

Of course they wanted to, and in fact they did. There are too many backups of civilization that have been preserved in every possible way, as evidenced by the ancient Aesir relics that are often unearthed around the world today.

The buildings with the highest level of protection among these relics are usually not temples, but libraries.

It's a pity that these lone boats carrying civilization have not been passed on to their descendants smoothly as the ancestors wished.

In that long and desperate Ice Age, the Asa people just struggled to survive, and it was very difficult, so there was no room for revival of the civilization of their ancestors.

If you look back from the results, the Asa people are actually a very remarkable and successful descendant of an ancient civilization. After all, they have survived and multiplied to this day, with a total population of millions.

On the other hand, those intelligent races of the same age as the Asa in ancient times were almost all extinct in the dark age of "Twilight of the Gods".

They have also created an ancient civilization that is not inferior to the Asa Protoss. Now let alone the revival of civilization, even the descendants who can still remember the glory of their ancestors can no longer be found. The entire ethnic group has completely disappeared from the history of world civilization in Vares. , there are only a few ancient cultural relics and dilapidated ruins left for future generations to remember.

Sighing, Joan's mood became more and more depressed.

Judging from the current momentum, the "Wind of the Wind" has clearly arrived, and to resolve the crisis and prevent the arrival of the "Winter of the Sword" within three months, the most urgent task is to try to find out the culprit of this catastrophe, "Magic Wolf". Mother" Angel Poda.

But the problem now is that in the past two months, he has exhausted all the means of detection and detection, but he still can't find the whereabouts of Angel Boda!

The young mage couldn't help but feel anxious, and couldn't figure out where the wicked old witch was hiding.

Angel Boda is likely to have received the divine protection of the "Original Lord" Zekskel, blocking all detection spells below the demigod level.

Qiao An has not yet reached the level of a demigod, so he can only rely on His Majesty the Emperor in the Far East to use his contacts and intelligence network to find the whereabouts of the "Mother of the Demon Wolf" as soon as possible.

Roland's reply letter hadn't arrived yet. Early the next morning, Joan received an unexpected letter from the "spiritual princess" Metatron of Odis.

After reading the letter, Joan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly went to the headquarters to find General Vasa, confessing that he had to deal with personal affairs and had to leave the barracks immediately.

After the Battle of Leiden Port, the Continental Army will rest in the city for a period of time, and there is no recent battle plan. Joan has nothing to do in the barracks, so Vasa did not stay.

Joan sent a farewell to Rebecca and other friends one by one, and finally returned to Wild Boar Island, telling Inanna to return to Cloud City with the Adamantite Fortress, and cast a spell on her own to teleport to the stone tower on the outskirts of Odis, changing back to the Gnostic form.

Joan paced back and forth in the high tower study, recalling the news revealed in Metatron's letter, and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He stopped in front of the window and looked at the city of Odis in the distance. The street lights seemed to be much dimmer than usual, and dilapidated buildings can be seen everywhere on both sides of the street. Those were the beholders he led in the form of Mitra to raid Edis not long ago. The damage caused at the time of Des has not yet been fully repaired.

The slightly bleak scene in front of him made the young mage feel guilty.

In the past two years, he has lived in Udinos and Odes with different identities, investigating the social ecology of beholders and mind flayers,

From the perspective of a researcher, he should treat the two equally, but emotionally, he seems to have more preference for the beholders. When the mind flayers and beholders conflict, they often stand by the beholders On the one hand, it actually caused a lot of damage to the Mind Flayer family.
