Chapter 1352 Negotiation and news from the Dark Mountains
Bringing a "delegation of survivors" of nearly a hundred people from another world is not just a matter of Hao Ren alone. This matter involves many aspects, and the meaning behind it is far more profound than ordinary people imagine.
.For the supernatural groups on earth, this is a journey to find their roots, an opportunity to uncover the origins, an action to get in touch with the truth, think about the future, and even lay the foundation for returning to their hometown in the future. But for the indigenous planets in the dream plane here
It mainly means that the Holleta matter has more practical implications.
A group of remnants who left their homes 10,000 years ago and were sent to another world by the goddess. They have been completely forgotten by this planet. Their names cannot even be found in the oldest historical files. This group of remnants lives in a place called Earth.
The place has developed for 10,000 years and already has a completely different culture and outlook. Now, these remnants have returned. Although they will not return immediately, there is a possibility of returning. Is this a small matter?
To put it into perspective, this incident was enough to cause King Horleta to suffer from insomnia for two weeks.
Betsy couldn't think of these things for a while, but that didn't mean that Marshal Ofra couldn't think of it either. Although she was a military general, she had been in the political arena of Horleta for many years, and she still had some political insights. Betsy was very good at it.
The female marshal was immediately notified and invited over.
Ofra still has the same heroic appearance, and the close-fitting women's light armor never seems to leave her body. Compared with the "royal military attaché" like Betsy who became a monk halfway, this real veteran marshal has a kind of inner strength in him.
She exuded a military temperament. She was a little surprised after seeing Hao Ren and his party. Recalling the epic events she experienced with these "foreigners", even the female marshal became nervous for a moment.
She thought there were still remnants of the Firstborn organization deep underground on this planet.
After listening to Hao Ren's explanation of what happened, Marshal Ofra took some time to digest the content that was a bit "over the top" for her, but fortunately she had already acted with Hao Ren and the others, so she had no idea about the other world.
, alien civilization, time travel, etc., so she quickly understood the cause and effect of the matter. Her first question was very practical: "Are they going to return to this world?"
"That is something in the future, and even when that day comes, it is expected that only some people will choose to return to their 'hometown'," Hao Ren replied, "The wall of reality is far from stable enough to allow all aliens on the earth to return to their hometowns."
, so I can only organize a team of 100 people to come over this time. In fact, only some of the ethnic groups originating from Horleta are from other planets in the universe. Those who have been completely destroyed or have evolved to the point where they cannot survive.
No matter how suitable the planet is for them to live."
"So about those who decided to return to their hometown," Marshal Ofra put his hands under his chin and looked directly into Hao Ren's eyes, "What form will they take when they return in the future? Do they want to rebuild their kingdom? Restoring the magic.
Society in the imperial period? Regaining one's ancestral land? Or integrating into our world today and becoming the people of this continent? I know these are all things in the future, but I am very curious about these now and I believe that His Majesty the King
I will be more curious about these, and I need something to report to him."
Hao Ren smiled. He knew very well what the other party was worried about: "I think you are thinking too much... Of course, if you don't think about this, that would be even worse. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. The number of 'remnants' who have drifted to my side is far greater than
Much less than you imagine, and they have gone through a long civil war called the 'Myth War', and the remaining survivors are even rarer now, and they have lost their cultural heritage and historical records. I believe that even if someone is willing to return to the Dream
planes, they would not think of rebuilding the empire ten thousand years ago. After all, they themselves don’t know what the Magic Empire was ten thousand years ago. Of course, I don’t deny that the return of these remnants will have a great impact on you.
This is what I am considering, and with a responsible attitude, I will ensure that their return will be carried out under the premise of consensus reached by both parties, and the entire process will be controlled, if anyone really wants to come back."
After Hao Ren finished speaking, Lily next to him interjected: "And don't be so repulsive to them. After all, we are all compatriots from ten thousand years ago. We finally have the opportunity to go home. You are so cold-faced."
It doesn’t look good.”
Marshal Ofra smiled slightly: "As an individual, of course I am happy to see my compatriots living abroad come back, but as the guardian of the kingdom, I have to consider some more practical things."
This is her little explanation for her attitude just now.
"In short, these things that will happen in the future can be discussed. The key now is the upcoming 'inspection team', a hundred people, temporarily 'stopping'. I believe this is not a pressure on a kingdom, but this matter
Your cooperation at the national level is still needed." Hao Ren knocked on the table, "Your planet is the only one I have discovered so far that has survived the catastrophe relatively completely and retained its original ecosystem. Huo Ren.
Erleta will be our most important stop. I need to make those 'tourists' aware of all aspects of this world in a short period of time. I need information about various races, cultures, and historical periods, and I need your astrological records.
And the legends about those 'ancient disasters' ten thousand years ago, werewolves, vampires, dwarves, elves, all races should preferably send a representative team..."
Hao Ren talked about a series of his ideas, and emphasized at the end: "This is also a good opportunity for you to show your strength and cultural charm. You don't want your compatriots who are living abroad to look down on your hometown."
Ofra actually didn't pay much attention to these things mentioned by Hao Ren at first: in her opinion, the return of the survivors was significant in an overall sense, but specifically the reception of a small inspection team this time
and arrangements, it was a very small matter and should not rise to the level that required the king's personal attention. However, after a while, she noticed that Hao Ren's expression was unexpectedly serious, so she interrupted and asked: "This matter...
…It shouldn’t be as simple as it seems on the surface, right?”
Hao Ren looked at Ofra's eyes for a few seconds before speaking: "This is a test related to the sleep of the Creation Goddess. You are all the people of the Goddess, don't forget this."
"I understand," Marshal Ofra nodded slowly, "I will report this matter to His Majesty and try to make him pay attention to it."
"He will take it seriously," Vivian laughed. "That old king of yours is not confused. He knows what a group of 'tourists' coming from another world means."
Marshal Ofra was noncommittal: "Maybe."
"In addition, I just mentioned that I need your personal help," Hao Ren continued, "I need your help in gathering your 'ancient race' people. You are the original demon hunters who have not been affected by the wall of reality.
', maybe the key to solving many ancient mysteries lies with you."
"This is no problem," Marshal Ofra agreed happily. "Although the ancient species in Horleta are distributed all over the place, our clan has its own information channels. It is easy for me to contact the clan members, and
I believe they won’t mind doing such a small favor for you, the ‘savior’.”
The topic was settled. Hao Ren handed all the information he had prepared to Ofra and asked her to pass it on to the old king, His Majesty Moron. Then he looked at Betsy and asked about the Dark Mountains.
.
"Dark Mountains?" Betsy raised her eyebrows, "Well, yes, I was escorting a group of experts and scholars there before. Recently, there have been several strange things happening in the mountains over there."
"Something strange?" Hao Ren leaned forward and asked, "Can you tell me about it? I asked your butler before, but he didn't know very well."
"It's quite strange," Betsy blinked, "You should have asked about the Dark Mountain Range, right? It is also a place where many ancient magic empire heritages are buried. Although it is not as famous as the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, there are ruins and the like
There are many things, and there are also many ancient creatures that have mutated in the energy-rich environment, so the level of danger is very high. Usually only senior adventurers and knight investigation teams organized by the kingdom will go deep into it. However, because the entire mountain range is called a layer
The ancient energy vortex known as the 'Wall of Lorissa' is shrouded in it, and dangerous radiation and magical creatures in the mountains will not escape, so there are still some human villages and towns near the mountains."
Betsy's explanation and description of the Dark Mountains was much more detailed than the housekeeper's. She had obviously carefully investigated the information in this area, and her time as a royal knight seemed to be an experience for her.
After finishing a series of background stories about the Dark Mountains, she mentioned the "strange things" she mentioned before.
"...Originally, the supernatural powers of the Dark Mountains were bound by energy fields near the mountains, but not long ago, a powerful energy fluctuation suddenly appeared in the mountains. This energy fluctuation even interfered with the operation of the astrology tower in the royal capital. Subsequently,
A large number of witnessing reports of bizarre events came from villages and towns near the mountains. Some villagers said that they saw large beams of light appearing on the mountains late at night, just like the legendary Tower of Babel in the ancient Magic Empire, but there was another one just a few kilometers away.
But no one in the village saw those light pillars; some hunters who were active at the foot of the mountain said they heard rumbling sounds from the ground; some explorers and mercenaries who ventured into the mountains reported seeing groups of figures in the woods.
They were still wearing the standard armor of an unknown country, but their figures disappeared in an instant. In addition, there were many strange reports, basically pointing to auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, etc., because the 'eldest son'
Due to the impact of the incident, His Majesty the King is extremely concerned about the changes in the Dark Mountains, and ordered the Royal Magician Association to organize a group of investigation teams composed of high-level mages and above to check the situation."
"Those investigation teams are still in the mountains now?"
"They are still there," Betsy nodded. "They have established an observation camp in the mountains, and there is also a guard composed of high-level knights staying behind to protect them."
"Do you think this matter has something to do with the 'eldest son'?" Seeing that Hao Ren didn't speak again, Marshal Ofra couldn't help but asked with some worry.
"Probably not," Hao Ren shook his head. "The eldest son has been completely removed, and the monitoring equipment I left behind did not find any remnants of the eldest son's organization underground. This matter probably has nothing to do with the eldest son. Specifically, the earliest energy explosion was
when?"
Betsy thought for a moment and gave a date.
Hao Ren immediately compared them in his mind.
It was the day when Rock Marton was destroyed and the world of Koro returned to the main material universe.
