Unsurprisingly, Wendell was very surprised when he saw the spherical aircraft. Obviously this advanced space-atmosphere universal shuttle was somewhat beyond his expectations. But soon, the old man recovered from his surprise. He just thought about it: "There are machines in the twilight that can fly in the sky, but I have never seen such a thing ... Asgard is an ancient god. Kingdom, I am afraid that you inherited it from ancient times? "
"The twilight also has flying machines?" Hao Ren is another surprise. "I'm really curious about your social situation."
With the crowd on board, Wendel boarded the spherical aircraft. Under the control of Anthony and the guidance of Vivian, the aircraft flew towards another rainbow bridge. As the end of the earth gradually appeared in the distance, the huge community of tentacles gradually came to everyone's eyes. First born's tentacles are the only thing still alive in this piece of purgatory. Except these tentacles, Warnerheim has no vitality.
Looking at this environment, it is difficult for everyone to imagine how the people of Wendell survived.
"Tell us about the Twilight Capital," Nangong Wuyue looked at Wendell curiously (she has become human at this time), "What kind of place is that? How did you survive the collapse of heaven and earth?" "
"The world collapsed ..." Wendel repeated the word in a low, hoarse voice, "You all knew that disaster in the war more than two thousand years ago-I don't know Asgard How much history has been preserved, but in the twilight capital, there are many ancient books that record the things of the year, and many scholars specialize in these things: after all, they are trapped in the barrier, and they have nothing else to study. As far as I know , The war of the gods broke the balance of the world, Niederhogg ’s bite made the great tree of the world weak, so the gods took advantage of it and ignited the world. The fire has been burning for three years and has been All the light of the entire universe was burned, so the long night came, and there was only a scorching heat in the darkness. Midgard also was shrouded in a scorching heat. In just a few days, the population dropped sharply to less than 10%, seeing all the world Vitality is about to be destroyed, but then an ancient sage suddenly appeared in the crowd. This ancient sage was called a "traveler", he evoked some great power sleeping deep in the earth, and formed a force with the power of the earth Screen , Blocked the toxic and Xiehuo night, the barrier which is Twilight all.
"Twilight is not a city for us. It is a kingdom. Although it is smaller than any country in the ancient times, we still survive there and have survived for more than two thousand years. The twilight capital was first connected by several city-states—the limit of the barrier was so large, and all the places outside the city-states were destroyed—and as time went on, we kept building homes inside the barrier, There is no more than an inch of free land in the twilight capital now. My biggest impression there is crowded, crowded and old, buildings of all ages, from a thousand years ago to a hundred years ago. It is all chaotically crowded Together, the air is full of smoke and dust. The whistle of the steam workshop often sounds in the middle of the night, the gearwheel rattles, and the locomotive sometimes rumbling through the midline of the twilight capital, the vibrations almost make people It is suspected that the entire city will be collapsed by it, and the clothes hanging outside the windows facing the street will often be blown down by the strange wind through the block-all the way down to the oldest abyss of the city. The city The building is too big, too high, too old, and even the city ’s builders and planners do n’t know what the structure is under the stacked houses. I do n’t even know, I only know our city It's like a nest that is stacked on top of each other. Already stacked, it almost touches the barrier of the sky. Every time I open my eyes, I feel that the dim sky will collapse. "
Lily said to itself: "It sounds unsafe."
"Yes, it's very insecure, but few people think so," Wendell muttered. "Everyone is used to living. No one thinks there is anything wrong with such a city. Anyway, everything looks stable now. But people who study ancient books and machines do n’t think so, we know that twilight is limited, the life span of the city is limited, the world has been extinguished for more than two thousand years, and we have survived for too long with a little ember , Once this ember also goes out, it's over. "
"So the" light seeker "appeared?" Vivian asked curiously.
Wendle nodded gently: "There is a reason for this."
Since the twilight capital was built, people have always kept in mind the fact that the outside world has been burned down-they fear the dark night outside, fear that the light in the city will eventually die out, and that the whole world will Forever sinking like this, and fear gave birth to courage, so the light seeker was born. These brave, curious, restless people are the eyes of the twilight capital. With the blessings and expectations of others, they bravely entered the darkness and searched for other lights in the wreckage of the world, such as another twilight capital, Or a pure land outside the world that has not been destroyed by evil fire, or ...
The signs of dawn.
“Some scholars believe that the end of the night will end,” Wendell said slowly. “The world tree Yugudola Hill is not dead. He is just healing. When the sacred branches are transformed, the universe is Will be relighted, that is, the dawn after the long night, and the dawn will first start from the dead country of Nibelungen and Nivelheim. An important mission of the light seeker is to find signs of the dawn, but said To be honest ... not many people hold this hope, including the light seekers themselves, and more are just looking for another twilight capital. "
Speaking of this, Wendell sighed: "But even then, there are still fewer and fewer light seekers, and fewer and fewer people support us. In the past, light seekers had a high status and were regarded as As a warrior who challenged the long night, our predecessors were once etched on the foundation stone of the twilight capital, but slowly, the journey of seeking light became a reckless behavior that was not understood because of batch after batch People break into the darkness, and are eventually devoured by the long night, or come back madly, very few people can bring something back from the night-to support such a hugely expensive team, it is a heavy burden for the twilight capital The light seeker ’s headquarters was originally the city ’s most magnificent building, but now it ’s also turned into a dark alley in the bottom ditch of the city ... "
The old man ’s voice was low, and finally he ended the topic happily: “Forget it, do n’t say this.”
“To be honest, this is an inevitable choice for the group,” Galazhuo shrugged. “You ca n’t even say ignorance. For the survival of the group, most intelligent races will be too cautious, and bystanders will think this Cautiousness is a missed opportunity, but in most cases, it can extend the survival time in desperation. "
Wendell looked at Galazoll with a weird expression, and felt that the other party ’s detached way of speaking was strange-but this is the most pertinent and sincere of the examiner who is used to the rise and fall of civilization. evaluation of.
Due to this comment by Galazhuoer, the second half of the journey became dull.
And during this dull journey, Hao Ren saw the real situation of Yugudolahir ’s space chain after experiencing the dusk of the gods.
Worse than expected.
The scene I saw before in Asgard made the first impression of Hao Ren wrong. He thought that the situation of the Nine Kingdoms after the dusk of the gods was not so tragic, but when he began to deepen this layer After the different space, he realized how destructive a big explosion through nine levels of space was. Just as the warhead hits the target, it will produce a scarier wound than the surface layer in the target body. The damage caused by the Demon Hunter's beam cannon and magic energy explosion has a similar effect. The deep space of the Nine Kingdoms has been severely damaged.
Warnerheim has become a wasteland full of poisonous gas and radiation; Walter Alheim has been completely torn, the whole continent floats in two pieces in a void, only the tentacles that penetrate the continent will be broken The earth is connected; Yalfheim is turbulent, and a storm called "crazy" rages in the dark. This storm draws on the magic of space for two thousand years and has now almost everything on the continent. Grind thoroughly into powder ...
They also saw the kingdom of giants, Yodenheim, it was a desperate desert, silent, silent, frozen there for thousands of years, and a crazy heat wave from the ruins of the giant city Gushing out, the land is still burning.
However, compared to Msbelheim, where two-thirds of the continent is covered by lava lakes, Yodenheim is nothing.
All these kingdoms have one thing in common, that is, they are shrouded in darkness.
Smoke and clouds covered the sky. The magical energy destroyed the sources of skylight in various countries. Seeing the situation of those countries, Hao Ren understood why the people of Wendel would call the era after the dusk of the gods "Long Night" .
As it literally means, after the end of the world, night falls, and eight of the nine kingdoms are ruled by darkness. In that darkness, only the embers of the end light glow, burning and deadly, hiding in the twilight The survivors under the light barrier are trembling. Anyone who dares to take a step towards the darkness is enough to be called a warrior, not to mention those who dare to travel through the nine kingdoms. (To be continued.)
