Chapter 1229 What Happened on the Floating Island

The Chaos Realm is a turbulent and changeable place. Nothing can last long here. Even the mist in the wilderness has actually experienced many changes in concentration and color in the past few years, and these changes often represent the meaning of Kolo. The direction of world order and the forces of chaos - it is of great significance to the mortals living in this world, and every tiny clue is related to the survival of countless lives.

Therefore, in the long struggle, humans have also mastered many methods for observing and recording the realm of chaos. One of the important recording facilities is the sacred sacred object such as the Tower of Fire.

The Tower of Furnace is not only the core of the Land of Order, but also a sentry tower used to monitor the realm of Chaos. It can automatically record the power tide of the "Sea of ​​Karnos". Even if the furnace fire goes out, the symbols used to build the tower will remain intact. The aragonite tablet can also run automatically and complete recording duties for a long time, so Veronica first needs to check the status of the Hearthfire Tower to figure out what is going on here.

The information on corrupted monsters cannot be preserved for a long time. Once they become weak, they will quickly deteriorate and disintegrate. Therefore, it is very difficult to investigate clues from the corpses of the monsters. The knights can only say that checking the remains is better than nothing. What is really important is Clues are hidden in the four runestones surrounding the base of the Hearthfire Tower.

Interpreting these stone tablets is a skill that every noble must master. The old knight Morris is an expert in this field. After checking all the traces, the old man returned to Veronica. He first nodded to Hao Ren and then spoke: "The situation... is very strange."

"Weird?" Veronica frowned her heroic eyebrows. She didn't expect that her teacher would give such an ambiguous answer after an inspection. "Can you explain it?"

"The magic power of chaos and the power of order are present on the runes at the same time, and the boundary between the two...is much smaller than the specified value."

Veronica was stunned for a long time before finally realizing the hidden meaning of this sentence, and she was stunned: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"

Hao Ren listened with confusion on his face: "Um, what do you mean?"

The expression on Veronica's face was very strange, as if she had just heard a fantasy. At this time, she had to explain to others seriously: "It means... the traces left by the two powers on the rune stone slab." Gradually moving toward assimilation, the boundaries between chaos and order are blurring... But this is simply impossible! How could such a thing happen in nature?"

Hao Ren scratched his hair and decided to pretend to understand: "Oh, I understand. What are you going to do next?"

"It must be reported to my father immediately," Veronica pressed the hilt of the sword, her fingers turning slightly white from the force. "This matter needs to be discussed immediately by the royal bachelors. Only they can figure out what this means. "

The old knight Morian whispered from the side: "The Order Country must also be notified."

"The State of the Order..." The expression on Veronica's face became obviously gloomy when she heard the name. She frowned and repeated the word, and finally breathed out softly, "Let the ministers make their own judgment. , in short, we set off immediately. Knights! Form the team and get ready to go!"

Hao Ren shrugged and didn't have any opinions: he hadn't figured out many of the rules of this "Kolo World" yet, so he could just observe silently at this time. He watched Veronica and Morian organize the team and give orders, and he just walked aside silently, and continued to try to call the data terminal and the Giant Turtle Rock platform number while waiting for the departure.

The signal feedback from the mental connection was still weak and full of noise, but the signal seemed a little clearer than before - the data terminal or Nolan must be trying various channels, and Hao Ren believed that they could always restore contact.

And when the knights re-entered the fog of chaos, and the light of the Tower of Fire gradually extinguished behind them, something was also happening in another corner of the world.

At the southern border of the Kingdom of Talos, the land suddenly stopped. A "tail" of the Shadow Forest extending southward was neatly cut here. The edge of the forest was a bottomless abyss, and the dark fog was in this boundless road. The base of the cliff tumbles and surges. Standing here and looking forward, it feels like you are standing at the end of the world - land, oceans, rivers, forests, all end here.

However, this is not the end of the world. This is just the edge of the "Ansu Continent" where the Kingdom of Talos is located. This land is floating in the Sea of ​​Karnos like other continents, with nothingness above, below, left and right. The Kingdom of Talos is a small kingdom on the southern edge of the continent. It has a natural southern border, which is the "cliff" in front of it: it is actually the border of the Anzu continent.

Continuing south from this border is not empty. There are many huge floating islands floating in the void beyond the southern border.

Scholars believe that these huge floating islands were once part of the Ansu Continent, and that the Ansu Continent and many other continents were actually connected together - the evil giant "Lock Marton" from ancient times broke away from his shackles angrily. Beating the earth, the ancient Koro continent was torn into pieces. After that, Koro, which was originally integrated, turned into the current appearance of many floating continents floating around.

Large landmasses are suspended relatively fixedly in the Sea of ​​Karnos, while small fragments float between these continents. Some have become the homes of subraces or monsters, and some have become transportation hubs for human kingdoms.

The floating islands floating outside the southern border of Talos belong to the former: these islands are occupied by subraces living outside the civilized world.

These islands have dense jungles and water sources full of magic. Therefore, the beasts living on these floating islands are not only numerous in number, but also have undergone some changes. Under the influence of magic, furbolgs, gnolls, demons, etc. Primary intelligent creatures such as apes stand out from their beast relatives. Although their intelligence seems shallow and ridiculous to humans, it is still enough for them to become the overlords of these floating islands, and because the islands float in the dangerous Karnos On the sea, wisps of chaotic aura often set off storms in the void, so the highly intelligent species on the mainland rarely come to trouble these small "kingdoms" on the floating islands. The subraces living here live all year round. Live a leisurely and contented life.

Fighting, having babies, my little life was quite fulfilling.

But this leisurely atmosphere was suddenly broken.

Grugru is an old demon ape living in the forest. Although he is three hundred and forty-five years old, he still knows very little about the outside world - the floating island where he lives is lucky. Having escaped every tide of chaos in the past three centuries, the old demon ape has seen the forest on the opposite side of the void being torn apart again and again in storms, so it believes that the outside world is so dangerous, and any smart person None of the demon apes should be interested in the opposite continent. Even if the forest there seems denser than that of the floating island, and even if there seems to be a wider territory there, it and its tribe should stay away from it. right.

So it never leaves its forest, and in fact it has no way of leaving: who but those who can fly can cross the vast void between the island and the mainland?

But now it can no longer continue its principles, because it has to prepare for a journey to the opposite continent.

The old demon ape sighed, lowered his head and continued to play with the rattan and wood chips. Beside him, his tribesmen were also doing the same thing. As one of the most dexterous subraces in the forest, the demon apes can make quite complex tools, and now this talent has become their only task every day: their job is to assemble these things into some very, very large baskets , preferably installed under something called a "hot air balloon."

Grugru looked back and saw the gnolls shouting random slogans and drying a pile of blue leather on the shelf, while further away, the dwarf demons were screaming and piling up stones. Up, it can be made into a huge drying furnace to process the wood collected from the forest: it is said that the wood will eventually be made into the skeleton of the hot air balloon, or it may be made into the beam... Who knows? A furbolg happily talked a bunch of nonsense after receiving a reward from the "alpha wolf", but furbolgs are notoriously stupid, and they may not even remember what the "alpha wolf" said.

Grugru only knows one thing, that is, the blue leather that the Jackals are drying once belonged to a terrible monster, a wild blue magic whale that swam from the depths of the Sea of ​​Karnos, the one that covered the sky and the sun. The behemoth can come and go freely in the sea of ​​Karnos filled with various energies. It is simply a terrifying god to the sub-races living on the floating island - but the alpha wolf is fighting day and night. Then kill it. According to a jackal with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, the alpha wolf was sitting on the body of the Blue Demon Whale, chewing the marrow of the Demon Whale while tearing off the latter's outer skin - that's where the plan to make a "hot air balloon" began.

Therefore, Gruglu had to obey the orders of the head wolf. Although he was extremely reluctant to leave the safety of the big forest, and although he had great fear of "flying through the void", he was still weaving rattan obediently, Just like the gnolls and furbolgs who had already expressed their surrender.

Because it knows very well that the alpha wolf is extremely powerful - at least more powerful than the Blue Magic Whale.

And there is no way any creature on this floating island can beat her.

So since the "alpha wolf" wants to go to the continent occupied by humans, they have no choice but to obey.
