If you ask the native people of Warende this question, you will get a consistent answer: That is Lord Martha's blessing.
In "The Amber Sword", players have conducted in-depth investigations into this strange phenomenon that only belongs to the world of Warnd.
The answer they got was:
This is the collective name for this world order, the core of the elemental barrier that surrounds the entire world, and the basic law that restrains the elements that form the cornerstone of this world.
There is a clearer description of this in Cangzhi Epic.
Martha made an alliance with the four elven lords, personally issued the laws of tiamat, and used the laws to constrain the boundaries of the elements, so that the cornerstone of the world of Warnd could be established.
However in fact.
tiamat's law can be observed.
Whether standing on the land of Warnd, looking up to the sky, or casting a glance in the direction of the elemental barrier from the chaotic sea of magic.
It is a magnificent silver network composed of beautiful curves and straight lines. And this giant network spans tens of thousands of miles of sky. People can always see it whether it is cloudy or cloudless in the afternoon.
The presence.
But few people have seen the real thing.
Brando is no exception.
The moment before Bai disappeared, although he did want to ask more questions, the other party obviously did not intend to give him this opportunity.
Her somewhat pale, illusory figure swayed slightly in the void. Brando watched helplessly as she submerged into the dark metal plane.
Then the huge structure seemed to light up imperceptibly, and then returned to silence.
Brando stretched out his hand in that direction, but found helplessly that he couldn't catch the other person at all.
All he could see were tens of millions of structures that were shining with metallic luster across the void. They were arranged in a huge array, forming a giant network.
"Thank you... for bringing her here?"
"What on earth are these things...?"
"What does this woman want...and what do she mean by those words?"
Brando was confused and puzzled for a moment.
Bai's performance was so different from the Bai Tiamas he was familiar with. The god of death under the black rose who didn't disdain to play tricks, the angel of death holding a giant scythe.
However, since the other party appeared from his spiritual world, he has lied again and again. What he did was obviously just to conceal his true intention at this moment.
Brando fell downwards, but his eyes were quietly looking at the huge array in front of him across the dark space.
So what does this woman want to do?
What secrets are hidden here, so much so that the other party even did not hesitate to use eternal things as an excuse, and even revealed secrets such as the mercury staff and the elemental staff to him.
This thought rose uncontrollably in his mind.
Although Brando had the same doubts in his heart when he first saw this huge array. But at that time, the storm blowing from the crystal wall of the world once again extinguished these wild thoughts. He had several adventures, and there were
There are too many things to think about.
But at this moment, this idea took root in his heart again and grew stronger.
Because he thought of another question.
He thought about the world
Brando remembered that in the game, the furthest places that players' footprints had reached should be the Scorched River and the depths of hell. And some players traveled between worlds with the fleet of plane travelers,
They have been to many unknown worlds and broken planes, and even traveled for long periods of time in the Gray Segment. They were enemies of the etheric predators.
But a common sense is
No one can reach outside the elemental barrier. A force called the World Cover surrounds the four outer worlds of Warnd: Shallow Sea, Mountain of Calm Storm, Stone Pivot and Scorched River. When people try to cross
When you pass it, you will be sent back by the opposite force, no exception.
But after the Dragon Queen withdrew the cornerstones of the laws of the four elemental planes, the situation became somewhat different.
The Shallow Sea and the Mountain of Calm Storm collapsed one after another, followed closely by the Stone Hub and the Scorched River. When the four elemental worlds guarding the periphery of Warnd's world perished, the shield between Warnd and the elemental barrier disappeared.
Brando is not sure whether he is the only player who has been lucky enough to witness this scene in thousands of years, but at least he can confirm one thing. He must be the only player who is lucky enough to witness it all.
But when he saw this spectacular scene, this question flashed through his mind:
So, what does it mean behind all this?
Fias and Root shouted in his ears.
The storm representing the will of the Twilight Dragon is roaring in. As Bai said, the furious Dragon of Twilight is knocking on the door of the world, trying to tear open the crystal wall of the world again.
Although she has not yet achieved this, the power of the entire world has been transmitted from behind the crystal wall. Even if it is weakened tens of millions of times, it is still enough to tear apart the fragile elemental barrier at this moment.
Black ripples visible to the naked eye are emerging in the space.
Behind that is the fact that the laws of time and space are distorting and escaping crazily.
But Brando turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, and his mind was in chaos.
Different from the education from another world received by another soul in his own body, Warnd in the game is an extremely wonderful world. The physical properties of everything in this world depend on the description of laws, not
It consists of the material, wind, fire, water, the combination of the six elements of natural light and darkness, and the properties of the elements themselves.
Just like when people pick up a piece of shale from the ground, they can clearly feel that it exists physically and is material.
However, when the wizards used their magical eyes to analyze the stone slab, everything changed.
They will first discover that although the material existence of the stone slab depends on several material elements such as wind, fire, water, nature, and even light and darkness, they themselves cannot determine its properties.
Because only the laws surrounding it can ultimately determine the nature of everything: hard or soft? Dry or moist? How malleable? Is it brittle?
When the law is described, no matter what the elements that make up it are, it will exhibit familiar physical properties because the elements are just the material basis of Warnd, they are like the bricks needed to build a building and only
Design drawings can determine what the building will eventually look like.
This is like the process of a programmer labeling and injecting data into something he creates. No matter how 0 and 1 behave in the language he writes, what is ultimately displayed in front of the player is the appearance of this thing.
How it should look in the game.
In "Amber Sword", the logic of the world is consistent with its setting as a game, so players don't care about it.
But since coming to this world, some problems have arisen.
If Warnd is no longer a game world, how does this world with one or more creators work?
Why does it still show almost the same nature of the world as in the game?
Brando is not a poet who needs to explore the truth of the universe, and he is certainly not one of those wizards who live in high towers all their lives, pursuing ultimate knowledge and mysteries.
So he rarely thinks about such issues.
In fact, there are many problems that he needs to solve, whether it is the chores in the Fir Territory, a lot of troubles in Eruin, or Madara who is eyeing the border, and the ambitious empire.
It seems that even if he handles these things one by one, it will take up all his mind and time, and there is no chance to consider these problems.
What's more, he never thought that one day, unforeseen events might force him to consider such an issue.
What exactly is this world?
But it's not like he hasn't thought about this issue at all.
When he first arrived in this world, when he was lying in a pile of straw with Roman and Freya in the countryside of Qingcun, looking up at the stars, he once had such a question in his mind.
He once hoped that this world was just a dream of his, and that he would wake up from his dream at any time and return to the civilized and orderly world that originally belonged to him.
He woke up from bed, opened the door of his room, and saw the familiar teasing smiles of his senior sister and Hongcha, telling him that it was just a prank.
But as this dream deepened, he personally changed the kingdom bit by bit and changed the fate of many people. After seeing those familiar names surrounding him, he no longer repeated their original sad and bleak ending.
This hope gradually turned into a nightmare that lingered in his mind.
Whenever he talked with the lady on the staff, whenever he listened to little Roman's absurd thoughts and ideas, whenever he strolled in the warm afternoon sunshine of Fir Castle, watching the shadows of leaves swaying on the ground in the courtyard.
hour.
He couldn't help but wonder whether this was a dream, and whether when he woke up he would find that it was all just his imagination. Whenever such thoughts came to his mind, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
and uneasiness. He even had several similar nightmares, in which all his uneasiness and fear turned into reality. When he woke up in the middle of the night, his whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.
This nightmare gradually expanded as time went by. Sometimes he would even think about it, assuming that the world was still a game.
He even thinks this way sometimes.
Perhaps the world itself is still a game, and when he wakes up, he finds that everything he has experienced is still just data in the game.
