The Chaos Realm is a turbulent and changeable place. Nothing can last long here. Even the mist in the wilderness has actually experienced many changes in density and color in the past few years, and these changes often represent the meaning of Kolo.
The direction of world order and the power of chaos is of great significance to the mortals living in this world. Every tiny clue is related to the survival of countless lives.
Therefore, in the long struggle, humans have also mastered many methods for observing and recording the realm of chaos. One of the important recording facilities is the sacred sacred object such as the Tower of Fire.
The Tower of Furnace is not only the core of the Land of Order, but also a sentry tower used to monitor the realm of Chaos. It can automatically record the power tide of the "Sea of Karnos". Even if the furnace fire goes out, the symbols used to build the tower will be lost.
The aragonite tablet can also run automatically for a long time and complete its recording duties, so Veronica has to first check the status of the Hearthfire Tower to figure out what is happening here.
The information on corrupted monsters cannot be preserved for a long time. Once they become weak, they will quickly deteriorate and disintegrate. Therefore, it is very difficult to investigate clues from the corpses of the monsters. The knights checking the remains can only be said to be better than nothing. What is really important is
Clues are hidden on the four runestones surrounding the base of the Hearthfire Tower.
Interpreting these stone tablets is a skill that every noble must master. The old knight Morris is an expert in this field. After checking all the traces, the old man returned to Veronica. He nodded to Hao Ren before speaking:
"The situation... is very strange."
"Weird?" Veronica frowned her heroic eyebrows. She didn't expect that her teacher would give such an ambiguous answer after an inspection. "Can you explain it?"
"The magic power of chaos and the power of order are present on the runes at the same time, and the boundary between the two...is much smaller than the specified value."
Veronica was stunned for a long time before finally realizing the hidden meaning of this sentence, and she was stunned: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
Hao Ren listened with confusion on his face: "Um, what do you mean?"
The expression on Veronica's face was very strange, as if she had just heard a fantasy. At this time, she had to explain to others seriously: "It means... the traces left by the two powers on the rune stone slab."
Gradually becoming assimilated, the boundaries between chaos and order are becoming blurred... But this is simply impossible! How can such a thing happen in nature?"
Hao Ren scratched his head and decided to pretend to understand: "Oh, I understand. What are you going to do next?"
"It must be reported to my father immediately," Veronica pressed the hilt of the sword, her fingers turning slightly white from the force. "This matter needs to be discussed immediately by the royal bachelors. Only they can understand what this means."
The old knight Morian whispered from the side: "We must also inform the Order Country."
"The State of the Order..." The expression on Veronica's face became obviously gloomy when she heard the name. She frowned and repeated the word, and finally breathed out softly, "Let the ministers make their own judgment.
, in short, we set off immediately. Knights! Form the team and prepare to go out!"
Hao Ren shrugged and didn't have any opinions: he hadn't figured out many of the rules of this "Kolo World" yet, so he just had to observe silently at this time. He watched Veronica and Morian organize the team and give orders.
I just walked aside silently and continued to try to call the data terminal and the Giant Turtle Rock station number while waiting for a short time.
The signal feedback from the mental connection is still weak and full of noise, but the signal seems a little clearer than before. The data terminal or Nolan must be trying various channels. Hao Ren believes that they can always restore contact.
And when the knights re-entered the fog of chaos, and the light of the Tower of Fire gradually extinguished behind them, something was also happening in another corner of the world.
At the southern border of the Kingdom of Talos, the land suddenly stopped. A "tail" extending southward from the Shadow Forest was neatly cut here. At the edge of the forest was a bottomless abyss, and the dark fog was in this boundless road.
The bottom of the cliff is rolling and surging. Standing here and looking forward, it feels like you are standing at the end of the world. Oceans, rivers, and forests all end here.
However, this is not the end of the world. This is just the edge of the "Continent of Anzu" where the Kingdom of Talos is located. This continent is floating in the Sea of Karnos like other continents, with nothingness above, below, left and right. Talos
The kingdom is a small kingdom on the southern edge of the continent. It has a natural southern border, which is the "cliff" in front of it: it is actually the border of the Anzu continent.
Continuing south from this border is not empty, there are many huge floating islands floating in the void beyond the southern border.
Scholars believe that these huge floating islands were once part of the Ansu Continent, and that the Ansu Continent and many other continents were actually connected together. The evil giant "Lock Marton" from ancient times was angry after breaking free from his shackles.
The earth beat the earth, splitting the ancient Koro continent into pieces. After that, Koro, which was originally integrated, turned into the current appearance of many floating continents floating around.
Large continents are suspended relatively fixedly in the Sea of Karnos, while small fragments float among these continents. Some have become the homes of subraces or monsters, and some have become transportation hubs for the human kingdom.
The floating islands floating outside the southern border of Talos belong to the former: these islands are occupied by subraces living outside the civilized world.
These islands have dense jungles and water sources full of magic. Therefore, the beasts living on these floating islands are not only numerous in number, but also have undergone some changes. Under the influence of magic, furbolgs, gnolls, demons, etc.
Primary intelligent creatures such as apes stand out from their beast relatives. Although their intelligence seems shallow and ridiculous to humans, it is still enough for them to become the overlords of these floating islands, and because the islands float in the dangerous Karnos
On the sea, wisps of chaotic aura often set off storms in the void, so the highly intelligent species on the mainland rarely come to trouble these small "kingdoms" on the floating islands. The subraces living here are year-round.
Live a leisurely and contented life.
Fighting, having babies, my little life was quite fulfilling.
But such a leisurely atmosphere was suddenly broken.
Gruglu is an old demon ape living in the forest. Although he is three hundred and forty-five years old, he still knows very little about the outside world. The floating island he lives on is lucky enough to escape.
After every tide of chaos in the past three centuries, the old demon ape has seen the forest on the opposite side of the void being torn apart again and again in the storm. Therefore, it believes that the outside world is so dangerous. Any smart demon can
No ape should be interested in the continent opposite. Even if the forest there seems denser than that on the floating island, even if it has a seemingly wider territory, it and its tribe should stay away from it.
.
So it has never left its own forest, and in fact it has no way of leaving: except those who can fly, who can cross the vast void between the island and the mainland?
But now it can no longer continue its own principles, because it has to prepare for a journey to the opposite continent.
The old demon ape sighed, lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the rattan and wood chips. Beside him, his tribesmen were also doing the same thing. As one of the most skillful subraces in the forest, the demon apes can make
Now this talent has become their only task every day: their job is to assemble these things into very, very large baskets that can be installed under something called a "hot air balloon."
Grugel glanced back and saw the gnolls shouting about piles of blue leather being dried on the racks, while further away, the dwarves were screaming and piling up stones.
Make a huge drying furnace to process the wood collected from the forest: it is said that the wood will eventually be made into the skeleton of the hot air balloon, or it may be made into the beam... Who knows? A furbolg is getting a "head"
After receiving the reward from "Wolf", he happily talked a lot of nonsense, but the furbolg is notoriously stupid, and it may not have remembered what the "alpha wolf" said at all.
Grugru only knows one thing, that is, the blue leather that the Jackals are drying once belonged to a terrible monster, a wild blue magic whale that swam from the depths of the Sea of Karnos, the one that covered the sky and the sun.
The behemoth can come and go freely in the sea of Karnos filled with various energies. It is simply a terrifying god to the sub-races living on the floating island. However, the alpha wolf was killed after a day and night of fighting.
It died. According to a jackal with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, the alpha wolf was sitting on the body of the Blue Demon Whale, chewing the marrow of the Demon Whale while tearing off the latter's outer skin. This is where the plan to make a "hot air balloon" began.
of.
Therefore, Gruglu had to obey the order of the head wolf. Although he was extremely reluctant to leave the safety of the big forest, and although he had great fear of "flying through the void", he was still weaving rattan obediently.
Just like the gnolls and furbolgs who had already expressed their surrender.
Because it knows very well that the alpha wolf is extremely powerful, at least more powerful than the blue magic whale.
And there is no way any creature on this floating island can defeat her.
So since the "alpha wolf" wants to go to the continent occupied by humans, they have no choice but to obey. (To be continued.) 8
