The camp where the soldiers stationed at the royal hunting grounds were very simple, with only a few dilapidated stone fortresses, seemed to have existed before the catastrophe.
The only luxurious thing is the protective formation around the fortress, which contains almost all top-level magic spells. It can defend against legion-level attacks and can also resist high concentrations of night energy.
In addition, these soldiers are all strong, and it is possible to temporarily prevent the spread of pollution. This is also the first time that Lin Zhan has seen such a tightly defended fortress.
Walking into one of the fortresses, Lin Zhan saw at a glance some documents randomly placed on the table, which seemed to be letters exchanged between different camps.
In places with such high concentrations of pollution, sophisticated communication techniques are easily affected. If you want to send messages, the most common way is to use paper.
There is no other way.
More importantly, Lin Zhan discovered that the dates on the letters were very close, the most recent was even the day before yesterday.
Doesn't it mean that the people in the hunting ground have completely lost control? Why can they still send messages to the outside world, and they seem to be very organized and not a garbled mess.
Not only Lin Zhan, but Liuli also showed a similar expression. Only Priest Dusk seemed to have known all this for a long time. He casually picked up a letter and started reading it.
The soldier who led Lin Zhan in noticed this scene and sighed helplessly, then slowly shook his head, stepped forward, and explained the specific situation in detail: "In your opinion, people who are corrupted by the night energy should
Completely lose your mind and turn into a beast-like existence, right?"
This is really Lin Zhan's speculation all along, but judging from the soldier's attitude, it seems that the situation at the hunting ground is more than that simple.
Sure enough, I then saw him bringing in a lot of letters, mixed with some weapons and equipment and energy crystals, all of which looked very sophisticated.
This makes people even more curious.
"If you are not familiar with it, you may be surprised to see the situation deep in the royal hunting ground, because it is very normal there, and everything is in the same order as before the catastrophe. Even the wild animals are under strict supervision, and so is the manager of the hunting ground.
Managed with great care.”
What the soldier said made Lin Zhan feel a little strange.
In a place with such a strong energy at night, it is very difficult for ordinary people to maintain their sanity. Now, they can still maintain normal order and the entire hunting ground can operate very normally.
Wait, Lin Zhan seemed to have noticed something not quite right.
After the soldier calmed down, he observed Lin Zhan's attitude. After noticing the change in his expression, he nodded slowly: "It seems that you also realized the key point. Time in the entire royal hunting ground has stopped.
People are still living in the world before the catastrophe, or in other words, they think they are living in the world before the catastrophe."
This is a bit interesting. The huge and dangerous night energy did not make the people here crazy, but made them fall into some kind of dilemma, thinking that it was still the world before the catastrophe.
Liuli's fingers gently stroked her chin and stared at the ground, as if thinking about a certain situation.
"So, the reason that prevents us from going deeper is..." After a moment, Liuli raised her head and looked at the soldier.
The soldier smiled bitterly: "You have also seen that these letters are sent by people inside. They follow the rules before the catastrophe and send letters to the royal family every day, reporting what they have done today. Correspondingly, inside
People who refuse to allow any unrelated people to approach, even if you can approach, I'm afraid you won't be able to go deep, and there are even more dangerous situations."
After a moment of silence, the soldier continued: "We have tried several times to see what's going on inside, but no one came back every time. People in the past have been assimilated, thinking that this is the world before the catastrophe.
We have no choice but to block it."
This is a bit interesting. Judging from the soldiers' stories, we know that there is still danger inside, and the energy of night is spreading all the time. Those assimilated soldiers are a good example.
It's just that the form of night energy has changed here. It no longer makes people fall into madness, but makes people recall the past infinitely.
"If it were just these, we wouldn't be affected."
Liuli nodded confidently, as if she believed in the treasure she was carrying.
But the solemn expression on the soldier's face became even more serious. After Lin Zhan saw it, he couldn't help but think deeply in his heart, considering the key to the whole matter.
Then he shook his head: "You may not know something, eldest princess. In the past, many royal families tried to go deep inside. Everyone carried many treasures and vowed to figure out what happened, but the ending was still the same. Everyone
Their cognition has become skewed, and they even think that we have betrayed the old empire."
After hearing this, Liuli was naturally shocked. As a member of the royal family, she seemed to have a serious lack of understanding of all this.
The soldier thought about it, and then asked Lin Zhan and others to follow him out to take a look.
We walked to another fortress, and as soon as we walked in, we found three men lying on the bed. They were all very young. It could be seen from the luxurious clothes on their bodies and the badges on their chests that they were all members of the royal family.
"Ah, they, didn't they say they were killed in the battle to suppress the Endless Plains?"
Liuli couldn't help but exclaimed, obviously she knew these three members of the royal family.
This is also normal.
The soldier shook his head regretfully: "Of course not, that's just an excuse. In fact, they are not dead, they are just set up in a sleeping formation, otherwise there is nothing we can do."
Almost at the same time, Priest Dusk stepped forward, inspected the three royal family members, and then nodded to Liuli, indicating that the soldiers were right, and these three people were not really dead.
The situation became serious in the blink of an eye, and Lin Zhan was also very worried whether Liuli would make the same mistake again. If that was the case, it would be quite complicated for the imperial capital.
The current situation in the imperial capital is very fragile. If the eldest princess falls, no one will be able to take charge of the overall situation. When the time comes, the doves will definitely take over the magpie's nest, and no one will stop their plan.
Noticing Lin Zhan's worried expression, Liuli was still very determined and looked at him: "I still decided to go over and have a look, but in order to ensure everything is thorough, I need you to promise me something."
Liuli obviously made the decision after careful consideration. Although Lin Zhan was a little helpless, he nodded in person and asked Liuli to say what he wanted to say as much as possible.
"If I really become like this, please make me unconscious. If that doesn't work, take out this thing."
As he said that, Liuli stretched out his hand, and the palm of his hand kept flashing with light.
