Chapter 1224 Journey Across the Plains

Chaos doesn't just emerge from the mist, and monsters don't just emerge from the mist.

The lightly-armed knights were trekking in the desolate wilderness. Without the intrusion of monsters, it was not difficult to walk on this flat plain. During the process of crossing the plain, Hao Ren gradually learned about it from Veronica. Come to a lot of common sense in this "Khloe World".

Includes knowledge of Chaos, Monsters, Mist, Order and Darkness.

At first, Hao Ren thought that the mist covering the plains and the monsters condensed from the mist were chaos, but now he realized that this mist was just a unique phenomenon in the desolate wilderness, and there were different phenomena in different realms of chaos. In the mutated environment, monsters will be born from the environment in various forms. There is the lingering fog in the Desolate Wilderness, the Land of Shadows in the Shadow Jungle, and the ever-changing bottomless quagmire in the Dark Swamp. In addition, there are also the Annihilation Desert, the Stormhorn Coastline, the Gray Sea, the River of Deep Space, etc. There are numerous large and small chaotic territories, and almost every place has its own unique characteristics, and what they have in common is the rejection of life and the destruction of order.

Koro is a vast world composed of many independent continents. According to Veronica, these continents float in the void called "Karnos" and follow some profound rules set by the gods over and over again. It is running, and the power of Chaos and Order rises and falls in the nothingness of Karnos. The waves they roll up will beat on the continent, giving birth to the people of Order and the slaves of Chaos, the believers of Order and the followers of Chaos. The process of the two beings repeatedly fighting for the world is the substantive embodiment of the power conflict in Karnos.

This is an endless war that has been going on since the beginning of history. The power of chaos will spread from nothingness, eroding and destroying the world of order, causing the time sequence to be abnormal, energy to be out of control, and mountains and rivers to be wiped out in an instant. Under their influence, fertility The land has turned into forbidden areas of life such as desolate wilderness and shadow jungle. Monsters continue to appear out of thin air in these areas, and they continue to attack the defense line of order as pawns of the forces of chaos.

The Light of Symbol is the grace and protection bestowed by the Goddess of Creation on intelligent creatures. It is the source of all light in the world and exists in the form of furnace fire, firewood, and divine light. They form barriers of order, and human beings and other races The kingdom thrives behind these barriers of order, preventing the world from completely falling into darkness.

According to the wisest scholars of Cologne, this back-and-forth struggle had gone on for ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years is another crucial time.

The team's trek through the wasteland was not too slow - much faster than Hao Ren expected. Now the holy mountain Cassuan has disappeared into the vast darkness behind him, leaving only the endless desolate plain ahead. In fact, Veronica could no longer see the holy mountain behind her more than ten minutes ago, and Hao Ren's extraordinary vision allowed him to see further.

It's just that in this deserted land, no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't actually see much.

The divine radiance produced by the "holy object" shrouded the nearby area within a hundred meters. Not only did the mist recede where the rays of light shrouded it, but even the gray luster on the earth seemed to have faded a lot. Such a powerful power of protection has never been seen by the knights, and the purifying effect and particularly reassuring aura produced by this "Light of Symmetra" are completely different from the golden battle flag or amulet of order they are familiar with. They didn't know that what Hao Ren lent them was an "artifact" in the true sense, so they could only attribute this powerful treasure to the lost technology of the previous generation. Under the holy light, the mist outside the Land of Order slowly rotates and moves like a thin layer of soup. It seems that it wants to attack humans within the range of the light at any time, but it is afraid of the power of the artifact and hesitates to move forward.

Morian couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw this scene: "Sigh... If every army has such a sacred object to protect it, our battle in the realm of chaos will be much easier."

Hao Ren didn't answer. He already knew how much the humans of this "Kolo World" had sacrificed in the face of Chaos, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Human beings cannot survive in the realm of chaos. Even if they just breathe the air here, their vitality will be quickly exhausted and gradually assimilated into a part of chaos. In the long war of order, no one knows how many warriors have fallen in this endless darkness. Among them.

Veronica took out a round, pocket-watch-like amulet from her arms. Various magical lights moved slowly on the amulet. She used the amulet to calibrate the direction and distance, and breathed softly: " We are walking on the route we came from. As long as we keep walking in this direction, it won't take long to see a ruins. We will rest there for a while and then go straight to the Hill of the Unknown Soldier. If we go fast enough, maybe we There’s still time to catch up with the battle in the west of the kingdom.”

Princess Knight pursed her thin lips slightly, her expression showing determination and fearlessness. As an army commander, the temperament she displayed was impressive.

Hao Ren couldn't help but look at her twice: "You still want to fight when you go back? In this state?"

Almost all of the knights behind Veronica were injured. The simple treatment in the temple was not enough for everyone to recover. However, after hearing Hao Ren's question, each of these warriors just smiled indifferently. , a young knight waved his hand: "This situation is indeed not good - I can probably only kill twenty monsters."

Veronica looked back at the warriors who had accompanied her through life and death, and her hard-working and tense expression could not help but loosen. She shook her head: "The Talos royal family will not retreat before the battle - but you have completed your mission. After I go back, I We will meet up with the generals of the Western Region, and after that..."

"Your Highness," the old knight Morian gave Veronica a stern look, "This is not what the commander should say!"

The young people in the team watched this scene and laughed kindly. In the eyes of these warriors who were only a few years older than the princess, although this respectable knight princess was remarkable in commanding operations, But in other aspects he is still very immature.

Impulsive and reckless, and there are always some naive and simple ideas popping up.

The optimism and fearlessness of these people made Hao Ren look askance. He had seen many races trapped in the doomsday, but this one... made him feel a little different.

He turned his head and looked at the wasteland ahead. At this moment, a vague building appeared at the end of his field of vision in the distance.

Hao Ren raised his hand and pointed in that direction: "Is that the ruins you are talking about?"

Veronica was stunned and immediately turned her head to look, but all she could see was endless darkness and chaos. Outside a certain range, large, twisted black masses blocked her sight.

"Can you see it?" Princess Knight looked at Hao Ren in surprise, "Won't the fog of chaos in the distance blind you?"

Hao Ren scratched his hair: "The fog does affect the vision, but it's just a matter of seeing things closer."

"The fog of chaos not only affects the line of sight, it will swallow up the truth in the distance. From a certain distance, no matter how good your eyesight is, it is impossible to see anything." Veronica looked at Hao Ren and showed her unseen life again. The body's eyes said, "So regardless of the level of strength, everyone's field of vision in the Land of Chaos is the same. Only specialized detection magic can detect situations beyond the 'vision limit'."

As she spoke, she murmured softly: "Could it be that the eyes of ancient people had their own 'detecting chaos' effect?"

Hao Ren was startled after hearing Veronica's words. Then he realized why the knights looked confused at first when he rushed down from the mountain to support them. It turned out that it was not because of their lack of training. But they are almost half blind in the realm of chaos!

Hao Ren touched his eyes and vaguely guessed why he was different from others.

He seemed to hear a voice in the dark, and the voice said to him in a nonchalant manner: I will protect you.

He grinned and shook his head with a strange smile: "Thank you so much to Sister Goddess, I have a dazzling eye here."

Soon, Hao Ren's extraordinary "sight" was confirmed.

When the knights continued to move forward for an hour, the ruins of a collapsed and abandoned building suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Veronica and Morian.

Just as the sacred mountain suddenly jumped into view, the buildings suddenly jumped out of the darkness.

Morian looked at Hao Ren up and down for a long time, until the latter's whole body went crazy. Then the old knight took the lead and walked towards the ruins: "Everyone, follow, don't fall behind, be vigilant - we have set fire to this place before. The fire, there may be corrupted monsters attracted here."
