While the southern front against the Gate of the Abyss was defeated, a certain magician was working hard to investigate the matter about the guardian. Finding a definite result as soon as possible would help negotiate with the nobles for a price.
The six abyss gates outside Cat Forest and Dragon Island were quickly found with the help of the World Trees.
Regardless of whether the guardian's identity is from the Lost World side or the Abyss side, he is easy to talk to. Even if it is difficult to talk to him at first, it will be easy to talk after giving him a good beating.
Perhaps because of their special responsibilities, the guardians are more conservative and unassuming in character. Most of them are not the kind of people who put their eyes above their heads and have a contemptuous attitude no matter who they meet, and they will not change it even if they are beaten to death.
.
As long as you show a certain level of strength and have the qualifications to be equal to them, you can talk to them on an equal footing and even ask to pass through the Gate of the Abyss.
In fact, the duty of the guardian is to prevent those creatures that are not strong enough from passing through. Whether they go there intentionally or get lost and get lost on the other side.
If they are too strong, such as the Evil God of the Abyss or the Lord of the Abyss, they will be restricted by the Mystery Land itself. Even if the gate of the Abyss is fully opened, they will still have inherent restrictions if they want to descend, and they cannot come and go at will.
Even if you want to forcefully pass through, don't forget that there is a truly powerful person in the Lost Land. With a living early warning device like the Guardian, the Guardian Lord will never be in a situation where he can't catch up and can only clean up the aftermath. Even if the Guardian
The same goes for those who belong to the other side.
Unless his old man is also being held back. Just like now, I heard that the goddess of gold coins has been permanently stationed in the kingdom of the Lord of Guardians. The two gods stared at each other all day long, refusing to give in at all.
On the contrary, those who are neither strong nor strong have the best chance of passing through these permanent abyss gates and heading to the other world. For example, people like a certain magician and the Demon Prince Azad.
In short, the guardians are not that kind of super powerful beings.
Think about the demon lord Sabin, who was scared away by a certain magician. With the strength of the great demon level, he was enough to confront the Demon Moth King of Mao Forest. From this we can see that strength is not the only requirement for becoming a guardian.
absolute.
But after becoming guardians, they will be in a state of immortality, or pseudo-immortality. The forms are not necessarily the same. The most likely possibility is symbiosis with the Gate of the Abyss, so that death cannot be the end of the guardian's journey.
For example, the infinite reincarnation of the Demon Moth King belongs to the side of the abyss. As long as the faith of the Dragon God of the Abyss is immortal and the spirit does not die, this of course belongs to the abyss side.
There is also a king elephant on the side of the land, which is as big as a hill. It is not very active and has a strong sense of oppression. If someone stands at its feet, it is only the height of the toes.
There is a phoenix perched on the sycamore tree. One of the only two branches of the sycamore tree is occupied by the phoenix, and the other is the eternal door to the abyss.
The most special 'guardians' on the Lost Side are the ghosts of an entire city. Most of them don't know their responsibilities, and they behave like living people every day.
But when one day ends and the next begins, they forget what happened the day before and start all over again. Including the food consumed, the handicrafts made, etc., everything returns to the way it was the day before.
It's like the city is stuck in the hometown movie Groundhog Day, living the same 'same' day over and over again. They will repeat the same things they have done, and the things that are bound to happen will happen.
People who die on this day will die again; babies born will return to their mother's belly and be born again. Even if their experiences are changed artificially, they will return to their original state the next day.
There is only one understanding person here. He is also a ghost, watching the entire city from a spectator's perspective, constantly performing the same drama in infinite reincarnations.
When Lin came to visit for the first time, he only mentioned the keyword "Gate of the Abyss", which attracted ghosts all over the city to pursue them crazily. Someone judged that these ghosts were evil spirits at the time, and didn't think much about it.
Just slaughter them all.
Killing people will have a psychological burden. Killing these ghosts who have died once... this should be called eliminating harm for the people.
After clearing out the entire city and accidentally destroying many buildings, Lin finally found the door to the abyss in the middle of the most luxurious palace.
I originally thought there would be other guardians, so I was researching and keeping an eye out. But I didn't wait until the guardians appeared.
This research lasted until the next day, and he saw with his own eyes that the entire city had returned to its original appearance. And the only understanding ghost also took the initiative to show up and talk to someone 'peacefully'. Only then did Lin know about this.
The secret of a ghost town.
The guardians of the other three doors that have not yet been clicked are all on the other side of the abyss. There is a huge turtle, twice the size of the Elephant King. It directly presses the door of the abyss into the ground with its abdomen.
If Lin hadn't noticed that the 'mountain' above the Gate of the Abyss had a life response, he wouldn't have realized that the gate buried underground was guarded by a giant turtle, and he protected the gate in strange ways.
There is also a door completely immersed in a lava pool, and this lava pool is inhabited by a group of firebirds. The strange thing is that the guardians are not among the group of firebirds. They are like the magical cats in Maosen, serving as auxiliary guardians.
Subordinate race.
Although the Firebird clan knew their responsibilities, Lin did not find out who or what the 'guardian' was.
The guardian of the last abyss gate is a half-demon who is almost decayed, not like a demon. Lin has no idea what his other half's bloodline is yet.
What is certain is that this half-demon is quite old, and his fighting ability...is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, making it difficult to evaluate. And he himself can't remember much, just like a machine, habitually guarding the door.
Almost every time they met, he had to beat him down before he could study the door from the abyss side. Sometimes it was someone who was beaten away! That's why Lin would evaluate the other person's strength, which was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
Good judgment.
As for killing him... someone feels that it can't be done. Because his various 'characteristics' are not like a normal life form, unless a weapon such as the Year Wheel is used to eliminate cause and effect.
But if you use the Year Wheel to kill the guardian, will there be any adverse consequences? No one has the courage to try it, because the damage range of the Year Wheel cannot be limited.
It is true that it only eliminates specific individuals, but when the level of involvement is wide, there will be some unpredictable collateral damage. It is like killing a father and his son disappears.
Yes! Lin used the Year Wheel again in the past twelve years, targeting a certain high-ranking vampire. Because the opponent kept killing and reviving, someone who was impatient used the Year Wheel, and ended up killing him in one breath.
The whole clan…
However, there is a possibility for the origin of this half-demon from Yggdrasil. That is that the other party is also an ancient one, and is very likely to be one of the origins of the abyss demon.
This sentence is equivalent to explaining from the side that demons are actually outsiders to the abyss, not native species. However, Lin is not in the mood to pay attention to this part for the time being, as the guardian's matters are more important.
I got the location of the eight gates of the abyss, and also got the eight guardians... I didn't actually find them all, but those I found all understood someone's behavior.
Of course, Lin carefully studied their similarities and differences, hoping to eventually find out how the guardians were born. In other words, he hoped to find the reason why these abyss gates are so "special" and whether there is a way to recreate this special feature.
"Are guardians necessary?" This question has yet to be answered with certainty.
Since the guardians are either nowhere to be found, or they are too old, or have been reincarnated too many times, they have forgotten the reason why they became guardians in the first place. Therefore, it is impossible to directly ask the answer.
Lin even tried his best to compare the form of the eight abyss gates, and took the initiative to open a smaller, but absolutely permanent abyss gate. However, as an opener, Lin was not fixed as a guardian.
Of course, there was no coronation ceremony in which the holy light shrouded the body, lotus petals descended from the sky, and angels sang hymns together, but Lin did not feel any extra burden on his soul.
You must know that the souls of the guardians, if they exist, will be related to the gate of the abyss they guard. This is one of the reasons why Lin dare not use the wheel of time to kill them.
As for seeking death, of course it refers to the fact that after someone opens a complete door to the abyss, he is bound to become a guardian. In other words, if you don't even want to be the god of the lost land, how can you be the god of the earth?
Fortunately, this situation did not happen. So someone does not need to worry about how to abandon his identity as a guardian, and he can just cross out the option of "The person who opens the gate of the abyss will automatically become a guardian".
Of course, the door that was opened by oneself was easily closed. One person would not dare to do such a bad thing as conducting an experiment without finishing it.
Classify known guardian types.
The Dragon God of the Abyss and the Ghost City can be said to be of the same type. They both rely on a certain kind of wish to live forever, and they are not pure creatures.
The Moth King is similar to a phoenix. By the way, the Phoenix Guardian is the only phoenix someone saw in the Lost Land. They will die, but they can regenerate from death, retaining the most important memories and inheritance.
, forming infinite reincarnations.
And this death is not limited to natural death. According to Moth King Jane Moss, being defeated and killed, dying of natural old age, or even committing suicide will trigger the mechanism of reincarnation.
Even if it is killed as a larvae, rather than as a fully grown body, it can still be reincarnated. However, in order to avoid being guarded and protect the newly born larvae, the Demon Moth King has a clan of demon cats as its subordinates.
Phoenix... is very special. So special that some people don't want to deal with that person.
It is different from the fire bird, which is close to the fire element creature form. The phoenix has an actual body, rather than the semi-virtual appearance of the fire element creature. The phoenix of the Lost Land is not only hermaphroditic, it is also schizophrenic! Males have male traits.
Personality, females also have magnetic personalities.
The two personalities are quite different. The only thing they have in common is that they are both so arrogant that even the phrase "eyes above the top of the head" is not enough to describe them. They simply have their nostrils on the top of their heads.
Although this phoenix was also taught a lesson by Lin. But the attitude of despising you even if you can't win made someone retreat magnificently. It also made this door a place where someone would never come here unless necessary. The location where the research is conducted.
The Elephant King, the giant tortoise and the half-demon who is suspected to be the ancient one are all immortals in the true sense. As a price, they have become old enough to be called rotten. Otherwise, they often sleep, sleeping until everyone else Thinking they are dead things, like that giant turtle.
But what worries someone the most is the door to the abyss that has no guardian.
