Act 273 The Legend of the Stagnant Realm

The point is, this is the first time she has seen her sister let down her guard against outsiders. ○The two of them wandered from Eruin to here. They experienced countless hardships and obstacles on the way, encountered troubles and dangers, and also encountered help from kind-hearted people. But no matter that time, my sister never trusted anyone easily. , let alone traveling with other people.

They occasionally travel with caravans when traveling, but such cases are rare. Unless it is a caravan composed of several caravans, they almost never join a single caravan. The adventure group is in a similar situation. These necessary measures are all to better protect themselves. In fact, because of this reason, plus the two magic items left by their mother, their long journey, overall, is It can be said that it was a near miss.

But today, her understanding was obviously overturned. She knew very well that although her sister was asking for her opinion when she was on the dock, Lian knew her sister's character better. When she spoke like that, she had actually made a decision.

In such a situation, she would not object easily.

She looked carefully at the expression on her sister's face, but for a moment she didn't know how to speak.

"You actually don't want to get on the boat, right?" Ling seemed to know what her sister was thinking, and asked softly.

"Not really, sister," Lian shook her head and said, "I just feel a little abnormal, which makes me a little uneasy."

"Abnormal?" Ling hesitated for a moment: "Are you talking about my decision?"

Lian nodded. "Is there a reason?" But she asked immediately.

"Um."

"May I know?"

"Of course," Ling replied, "I originally planned to tell you earlier, but I didn't dare to confirm."

"Afraid to confirm?"

"I...I doubt he knows who our mother is."

"Ah!" Lian shouted in a low voice, and couldn't help but take two steps forward excitedly: "Sister, is what you said true? That 'him' is Mr. Brando, right?"

Ling nodded slowly.

"But why don't you ask him directly. Mr. Brando is not the kind of person who would hide things from us, is he?"

"I don't know, but I have a hunch that maybe it's not a good thing for me to speak..."

"Why, sister?"

"I...I don't know either." Ling shook her head. Sighed.

…

After Brando told his guesses one by one, there was silence in the cabin for a while. He raised his head and looked at Delphine, just in time to see the Prime Minister's daughter's eyes looking towards him.

"Delphine, what do you think?"

"Lord, do you think there is a connection between these two things?" Delphine asked.

Brando nodded: "Of course, the devil has always been the minions of the Twilight Dragon, and Akentu is its vanguard general, and I think the Twilight Dragon controlled a group of giant dragons and threw them thousands of miles away from Cruz. Tochik's visit will never be without purpose."

"Indeed, what do you think, Lord? You might as well tell them one by one first, and then we can check for any leaks and fill them up."

"I have a few ideas. The first is related to the resurrection of the goat-headed demon Akantu. As I said before, Akantu is the vanguard general of the Twilight Dragon. If it can lift the seal and return to Warend, It is undoubtedly bad news for the mortal world, no doubt. This is also the most important step in the Twilight Dragon’s plan to invade Warend.”

"But there is not only one demon lord. Lord, do you still remember the invasion of Qiao Gendigang? In fact, the demons have been ready to move for a long time. Although we don't know where they have advanced yet, one day they will appear on the ground. world."

Delphine analyzed: "So, Arkentu is certainly an important chess piece in the hands of the Twilight Dragon, but it may not be the most important one. I think it may not be worth the long calculations of the Twilight Dragon. The dragon clan thousands of miles away. And we have to consider the possibility. That is, although Frofa and the other dragons that were thrown into Tochik are powerful,

But they may not be the most powerful force under the Twilight Dragon. At least some of the monsters we have seen on the battlefield of Fenhotos are much more powerful than Miss Aloz, aren't they? "

Brando nodded. He had not thought about it from this direction. He looked at the little female dragon beside him. Aloz had the same contemplative look on his face. He obviously agreed with this statement, or at least agreed with part of it.

"Then continue to reason," the prime minister Qianjin continued: "Why did the Dragon of Dusk drop several dragons controlled by it into Taoqik? What it relied on obviously was not the strength of these dragons, or not Not only do we value their strength, I am even convinced that the fact that they are 'dragons' may be even more important to the Dragons of Dusk."

"This is one, and the second is that the Lord has also said before that for Akentu's resurrection, it is not necessary to have these additional factors. Perhaps these dragons can escort Akentu's resurrection. Just in case an external force comes to disrupt this plan, such as us. But this possibility is too small, not to mention that as I said before, crystal clusters can do this, so there is no need to go all the way and spend so much time."

"So," Delphine glanced at the two of them with a smile before continuing: "I think this possibility can be ruled out. What do you think, Lord Lord?"

Brando also nodded: "That's what I think. In addition to this, the second possibility is that the Twilight Dragon put these powers into Taoqik, perhaps to cooperate with the crystal clusters in the south. The army launched an attack on Madara.”

"This possibility is actually very slim," Delphine shook his head and said: "The reason is the same as above, too much gain outweighs the loss. What's more, a few giant dragons will not play a decisive role in Madara's battlefield. The goddess of the dead moon Ke Laisi’s resurrection in the Land of Eternal Death is actually enough to echo the offensive of the Crystal Cluster Army in the south of the Inner Sea of ​​the Dead Moon. The undead have already given up on the Realm of Eternal Death for this, right?”

"Then that's the only possibility left." Brando replied.

He raised his head and looked at everyone in the room.

"What the teacher means is that the purpose of the Twilight Dragon may be the same as ours?" Huang Huo finally said at this time: "Its target is also the natural orb?"

Brando subconsciously looked at Delphine aside.

The prime minister's daughter smiled slightly. Didn't answer.

But the little female dragon raised her head at this time and shook her head: "If your analysis is correct, I think its purpose is not the natural orb."

"It's not a natural orb, what is it?"

"Actually, there are also three possibilities here," Delphine said with a smile at this time: "I think you should still remember what the purpose of our trip is."

"Isn't it to find the natural orb?" Mr. Liu asked.

"No, no, no. That's just the final result. What we have to do is to solve the mystery of the jade, find the realm of stagnation, and retrieve the natural orb from the realm of stagnation." Fang Qi replied, he looked Delphine glanced at it before continuing: "So, the Mystery of Emerald, the Realm of Stagnation, and the Natural Orb. They may not be the same thing, and they may not be confused with each other. Just like the Natural Orb is more important to Mr. Brando , but for our Gui Che lineage and Yufeng lineage, the more important thing is actually the mystery of the jade, because it is related to the inheritance of our supreme sword."

"I understand," Mr. Liu also responded: "So the purpose of the Twilight Dragon may not be the same as ours. The natural orb has no meaning to it. The same is probably true for the mystery of the jade. What it is looking for Is it the realm of stagnation?”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the little female dragon Aloz.

Brando finally said at this time: "Aloz. What exactly is the realm of stagnation?"

Aloz shook his head and hesitated for a moment before replying: "The realm of stagnation, as the name suggests, is a stagnant world."

"So it's a demiplane with laws of time?"

"No, that is not a demiplane, nor is it even a fragment of time and space separated from Warnd. To be precise. It is a truly complete world, one that is not inferior to the world of Warnd, from a certain In this sense, its territory is actually broader than Warnde, and its laws are more complete than Warnde—"

The little female dragon's words were astonishing. Everyone couldn't help being surprised: "What?"

Aloz didn't hesitate at all and continued: "As we all know, our world is composed of the main material world and the four elemental realms. Outside the material world, there are countless large and small sub-planes and semi-planes. The planes are connected. Some of these demi-planes are artificially created, such as the White Tower of the Bugans - and some are formed by the projection of tiamat law. In fact, the four major elemental realms all belong to this category, while others are simply Wo The time and space fragments that have separated from the world of Ende, outside the elemental boundaries, you can often see these demiplane islands suspended in the void. This kind of space is not actually a complete plane, it can only be said to be a fragmented one. It’s just space.”

"What I want to say here is that there is such a legend in the dragon's literature. Compared with the Stasis Realm, Warnd is actually its secondary plane or even its demiplane. Our world is It relies on a real main world to exist, and that world is the realm of stagnation..."

After Aloz finished speaking, the cabin was completely silent for a moment, and even the Prime Minister's daughter had a look of disbelief on her face.

"But... how is this possible?" Huang Huo whispered to himself.

"Are you kidding, lady?" Fang Qi questioned without hesitation.

Among all the people, Brando was the only one who remained silent. He thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Aloz, what does the Realm of Stagnation mean to Warnd?"

The little female dragon glanced at him with some surprise before replying: "These are actually just legends. I only see them from the literature, and they may not really have any specific meaning. But there is such a saying..."

She was silent for a moment before continuing: "As we all know, the history of our world is far more than the part recorded in our books. In fact, in the Epic of Blue, we are enough to understand that before the era of mortals, there were still There are many, many eras, and in each era before the mortal era, Warnd began with the creation of the gods and ended with the war between the gods and the Dragon of Dusk——"

When Brando heard this, his heart suddenly moved slightly.

"...Since the ancient times, we have won every one of these tragic wars. In fact, it's just the opposite. The era brought about by the Azure Knight is the only one in the history of our world. , achieved a slight advantage against the Dragon of Twilight, and it is precisely because of this that Warnde has been preserved since that era."

"But before that era, every war ended in the defeat of the gods. In order to prevent Warnd from being permanently destroyed, the gods had to personally destroy the world they created. According to the words of the people of the gods, this It's called 'Restarting the World'. Only in this way can we avoid the invasion of our world by the Dragon of Twilight——"

"But every restart will be accompanied by a painful price. Such price is accompanied by the complete shattering of the entire old world, and the new Warnde is built on the ruins of the entire old world... "

Having said this, Aloz raised his head.

"The ruins are buried in the stagnant world."
