The lamp is an alien ghost, and in the background of the world we can only see its present, and there is no way to trace the past.
Therefore, Lu Yao could only judge based on its description what exactly happened to the lamp clan it belonged to, how the sun was stolen, and why the Firefly God left.
"The place where the Damp Clan is located is covered by black and gray fog all year round. Each of us must light a lamp so as not to get lost inside. The hanging lantern is a sign that the Damp Clan is alive."
Speaking of my hometown, the flames on the lantern's head flickered on and off, slowly illuminating a square scene that resembled a lake. Inside was filled with smoke and only sparse lights could be seen.
It continued: "When the sky lanterns are there, the fog in the foggy harbor will be dispersed and the visibility will be higher, but the distance will still be invisible."
"We rely on lights to survive in the fog."
"The brightest and clearest time is when the sky lanterns rise, and the surroundings become extremely clear. At that time we can see each other, but more importantly, we collect materials everywhere."
Slemud asked: "You mean mining and smelting ore, and tanning leather?"
"No, that's not the case."
Deng Cheng explained: "A lot of materials in our place are in boxes, all kinds of boxes. Wooden boxes, iron boxes, copper boxes... The best boxes are silver boxes and gold boxes."
"Those boxes themselves are very good materials, and they also contain many useful things, such as lamp stones, oil, live wires, lamp balls, iron sheets, copper rods... If you are lucky, you might even be able to find a complete lamp."
Lu Yao was lost in thought.
In the world where the Deng Clan lives, all kinds of materials are packed in boxes. This clear human trace shows that besides the Deng Clan, there are other groups that are preparing or have prepared all of this.
"There are also some raw materials that need to be found outside."
Dengcheng added: "Many boxes have been opened, and even the boxes themselves have been broken into pieces of wood and metal. Sometimes we have to dismantle the corpses of the tribesmen and use the remaining parts of the corpses to help more people
Live."
Slemud agreed: "It's very pragmatic."
"Got to survive."
Text slowly appeared on the head of the lamp: "The heads of the lamp people have lamp stones, their bodies are made of copper, iron or silver... and a few are made of gold, their hearts are spark disks, and there is flowing lamp oil in their bodies."
"If they are not attacked by fog beasts, the lamp tribe can live for a long time. As long as they pay attention to protecting their bodies and replenishing the oil in their bodies."
"After death, every part of the body becomes useful material."
Lu Yao suddenly came to his senses.
Something is wrong.
The physiological structure of the lamp tribe is not that of normal creatures.
He immediately asked Slaymod to inquire in detail.
After Deng Cheng’s detailed description, the image of the Deng clan in Lu Yao’s mind gradually became clear.
The Lanterns are not flesh-and-blood creatures in the conventional sense. They are almost semi-mechanical beings with obvious traces of artificial manufacturing.
What gives them self-awareness is either the natural evolution of the world's rules over a long period of time, or the work of gods.
In principle, it's like a beggar's version of a clockwork monkey.
According to the physiological structure of the lantern tribe, their existence is more like specializing in lighting fires or bringing light. Making lanterns is the meaning of their lives.
Like a stick figure.
No, more like a lighter.
"Are the lanterns born to be so strange?" Slamud asked it.
"I don't know... Wugang is an ancient world. It is said that before the Deng Clan, there were other races that existed. Those boxes were left behind by them, but they should be similar to the Deng Clan."
Deng Cheng thought for a while, and a series of ellipses appeared above his head.
"The last great master said that the existence of the lantern clan is to create a new sun that can replace the sun in the sky. This is the great mission given by Lord Ying Shen. Sky lanterns are also imitations of the sun, but they are far from perfect. To the point of the sun.”
"I'm a little confused."
Slemud said: "Since the sun existed in the past, why would you want to replace it?"
"The sun will go out."
Dengcheng said matter-of-factly: "We have to create a new sun before the sun goes out, and then lift it into the sky to replace the old sun that is constantly dimming. The sun here is very bright, it must have been replaced not long ago, right?" "
Lu Yao finally realized what the problem was.
Fog Harbor is a world different from the natural state.
There, the sun is some kind of high-end prop or spectacle, with loss and time limit. If we follow the rules of the normal world, the existence time of the sun itself is almost eternal to the life in the world.
In Fog Harbor, the real sun does not exist at all, only high-end artificial artifacts.
Later, it is not difficult to understand that a god stole the sun here.
The sun of the Lantern Clan is a valuable treasure.
Slaymod said: "...I see. Then what kind of material is the World Pot?"
"The world pot is just a huge pot."
Dengcheng made a gesture: "The entire fog port is on the World Pot, which sprays out a steady stream of black mist. There are also various materials, boxes and strange items in the black mist, and of course there are fog beasts."
"But only the gods can enter the depths of the fog and see the world pot. The lamp tribe cannot. There are many fog beasts below, and there is a strong pressure. The closer you get, the stronger the power becomes."
This description reminded Lu Yao of the boundaries of the world.
What can be determined so far is that the composition of Wugang is different from that of various known divine kingdoms, and there are obvious traces of artificial carvings and transformations.
But the deeper situation of the world cannot be explained by Dengcheng.
It doesn't know what the Firefly God is - this god disappeared before it was born.
In addition, it does not understand the identity of the alien god who stole the sun.
Dengcheng only knows that after the last great master of the Lamp Clan mysteriously disappeared, the Lamp Clan continued to weaken and die. A large amount of knowledge inheritance and historical secrets also sank into the boundless black mist with the death of the great master.
…
After Slaimud finished asking, he reported to Lu Yao: "Lord God, the matter of the Deng Clan first reminded me of an old news that was mentioned among the gods."
"It is said that when the God of Darkness becomes stronger, the God of Light becomes weaker and falls into sleep. There is a relationship between these two main gods."
"When the God of Darkness turned from decline to prosperity, while hunting the gods, he would take away all the light and fire, and the first one to bear the brunt would be the sun."
"The sun is the trophy of the God of Darkness. Whenever she passes by the world, the sun will be extinguished or disappear. It is not easy to do this. It is not just to destroy the sun, but to erase it from the rule level while retaining it.
The order of the world itself is intact..."
"This is a way for the God of Darkness to show his power, and it is also because of his hatred for the God of Light."
"I think humbly, maybe a long time ago, the God of Darkness passed through Fog Harbor, so the world lost the sun, and the local gods had to try to recast it..."
Lu Yao groaned in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Wu Gang could be related to this main god.
Even the sun will be driven away. God of darkness, you are really doing all kinds of bad things!
"But when I heard about the World Pot, I realized that I was wrong."
"As for the lamp clan and the world pot... I think that the lamp clan is probably a commodity used for trading. Gods will also use gods, apostles, believers, special races and even entire civilizations as trading objects. This
This type of transaction is called departure."
"Both the sun created there and the lantern clan itself should be commodities."
Slemud said: "It's not that the Outer God stole the sun, but the Firefly God sold that sun. That's why the Outer God can enter the Kingdom of God and take it away easily."
"The Fog Harbor is a huge shop. You can bid for anything you need. The attack by the Fog Beast is probably a method of the gods. This is a display and test for the Lantern Clan."
"It's just like the boss who sells goods. He will open the display box and let customers see and try the goods inside."
