Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The war between order and chaos has been going on for ten thousand years. The hedge of the two forces has left countless remains of remains in the fragmented "Koror World". Most of the debris will eventually be annihilated by the hedge of time and power. The remnants of powerful forces, or older ages, can still be found. These remnants include the devil caves in the kingdom of various orders, as well as the ruins of human towns in the chaotic land.
Except for those sanctuaries that are sheltered by the Holy Power and can stand in chaos for thousands of years (such as the Temple of Kasuan), the human ruins that can be found in the wilderness are basically products of less than three centuries. The thing has already disappeared with the chaotic tide.
The ruins of the town in front of you are such a "young" ruin. According to Vero nica, this town is the product of three centuries ago. It does not belong to any kingdom, but is made up of the kingdom of Talos and the kingdom of beacon Built by the merchants, that century was the “dawn period” when the forces of order overwhelmed the power of chaos. The chaos in the dark swamp-desolate wilderness-shadow jungle zone was once pushed back to the far south border of the mainland. It was on this route that a great trade route was opened. The bazaars they built traverse the plains and hills like stringed pearls, and one-fifth of the wealth on the mainland flows through this large artery.
In the magnificent chapters left by the bards, large sections of text depict tirelessly the Chinese merchants, gorgeous dancers, adventurers, mercenaries, and soldiers who walked through these markets at that time. Centaur fighters wandering so far in search of opportunities.
Until the chaos struck, the tides of power turned the plains and hills into a paradise for monsters. This string of "pearls" was scattered in the darkness, and now there are less than one, a few fragmentary sites that remain. Already submerged in the quagmire of a dark swamp, or an ancient tree lair that has become a shadow jungle, this ruin in the barren wilderness may be the only place intact—and can provide some shelter for the wanderers passing by.
If there are really wanderers who will be brave enough to cross this wilderness.
This time, there were really a group of "guests" in the ruins. They were the Royal Knights of Taros led by Vero nica.
The old knight Morian took the lead in the front, and the flag soldiers holding the "sacred object" followed immediately to provide shelter for the whole team of order light. Hao Ren and Vero nica stepped into this place while alerting all around. Although the remaining knights walked lightly in a rundown town, they still formed a defensive array with their weapons. There was no slack in advancing and retreating.
Hao Ren could n’t help but be curious to see other people ’s cautious appearance (in fact, some of his doubts were generated very early, but he could n’t find a suitable opportunity to ask): “It ’s not that I have given you the“ artifact ” Shelter? Are there monsters coming out here? "
Vero nica could n’t help but look at Hao Ren strangely. This question really does n’t seem to be able to be asked by a battle-hardened ancient guardian, but she thought of this “ancient man” after a thousand years of slumber, He put the doubt in his heart and explained patiently: "A place shrouded in light is not necessarily safe. Although the chaotic servants in the mist will be dispelled by the forces of order, there are also semi-polluted 'corrupted monsters' here. Corrupted monsters are the products of the creatures of the order world after being contaminated by chaos, and the intermediate state between order creatures and complete chaotic creatures-these monsters still retain half of the physical body, so they have some resistance to the light of order, What's more, the order part of their bodies will have an instinctive desire for light. Although this light can make them extremely painful, this monster will still rush over with moths. "
Morian also added: "The last time we passed from here, we lit the embers in the town's fire. The power of the embers may attract the monsters wandering in the wilderness here. But it doesn't need to be too much. Worry-Although the corrupted monsters have some resistance to the light of order, they are still chaotic creatures. They will be weakened a lot in front of the relics, and the number is difficult to scale. As long as you are careful, there will be no problems. "
Hao Ren Oh let out a frown, but frowned slightly.
Without the sanctuary like Jinhui Battle Banner, they will be swallowed by Chaos servants, and with the holy relics, they will be attracted like the firelight to attract flying insects to corrupt the monsters. Either way, the ghost place ... it's really not stupid.
At this moment the team has entered the center of the town ruins.
The ruins of towns and cities are very corroded, and almost no buildings with good frames can be found, but some glorious shadows can still be seen between the remaining ruins. Most of the buildings here have thick and sloping outer walls, and the roof has a rounded curve. Most of the houses are made of stones, with a shadow of the desert country: It is said that the main design of these towns was It is an architect from the Kingdom of Beacon, which was a famous desert country at that time.
Halfway, a sudden alert throbbed in my heart, Hao Ren immediately lowered his voice: "Wait, there seems to be something in front."
Of course, the words of "Guardian of the Ancients" are very important. Even the old knight Morian stopped his steps and lowered his body immediately after hearing the warning. Vero nica pulled out his knight's sword and covered his blade with magic power The reflection of her, and then she ordered the "Flag Soldier" holding the relic to stop in place, she stepped forward step by step.
The power released by the relics in the hands of the flag soldiers is like a lighthouse in the realm of chaos. If there are corrupted monsters in front, then if the flag soldiers continue to move forward, it is very likely that they will greet the monsters in groups.
When Hao Ren saw the high princess with her long sword walking towards the edge of the sanctuary, she could n’t help but worry: this act is of course brave and respectable, but it seems that it is not a qualified princess should do, too preemptive A leader is sometimes a disadvantage. But he saw that none of the knights around him showed a strange look, apparently already accustomed to the actions of Her Royal Highness.
What he does not know is that Vero nica is not too rash to do so, it is because the scouts and casters in the team are dead, and she is now the only half-mage in the team and a warrior who understands the reconnaissance skills. .
On the battlefield, practicality comes first.
Hao Ren thought a little, and then followed behind Vero nica. The two came to a broken wall in front and squatted down.
This collapsed stone wall happens to be the refuge limit of the relics in the hands of the flag soldiers. Within the refuge, it is a place of order shrouded in shimmer. Outside the refuge, there is darkness and chaos. Hao Ren looks very wonderful.
Vero nica took out a pale golden triangle amulet from her arms. She attached the amulet to her forehead and chanted a spell in a low voice. The power of the amulet immediately enveloped her all over her body, and a shimmer of light appeared on her body. , And then into the body.
Then she took a breath and stepped into the dark chaos outside the sanctuary.
The amulet of order she just used was a magic item that allowed a single person to move in the realm of chaos, and the Jinhui Battle Banner or other relics were too dazzling in the chaos, so this time the single use of the amulet was sent Came in handy. However, the duration of the amulet of order is quite limited. Once the effect is over, the user will be swallowed by chaos almost instantly-in Koror, scouting is definitely the most dangerous profession.
After seeing this scene, Hao Ren also guessed the role of the amulet, but he did n’t have this thing-Vero nica pretended to be Hao Ren as an experienced ancient guardian, and there are various ancients on his body. Holy thing, so I didn't even think of it and gave him a talisman.
But Hao Ren actually does n’t need this kind of prop. He just pretends to make a few strokes on his chest, pretending to say "female neuropathy blessing", and then walks into the darkness with such a big swing.
Vero nica glanced back, suddenly stunned.
But soon she pushed everything to the omnipotent excuse "powerful ancient man".
The two proceeded cautiously in the darkness and mist, and finally they reached the circular square in the middle of the ruins of the town.
"Let me go ..." Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, "These are the corrupted monsters you mentioned?"
The square is full of twisted and deformed monsters!
The monsters are in various shapes and shapes, most of which are contaminated beasts, including black wolves of calf size, and rhinoceros with bone spurs and decks, and some of these beasts can also be seen in human form. Creatures, they wore the worn-out armor of their lifetimes, and even carried broken weapons in their hands. These are the warriors and adventurers who fell when the chaos struck-but now their limbs are twisted, their flesh is rotten, and their eyes are burning turbid The off-white flame has become a member of the chaotic monster.
And among these monsters, Hao Ren also saw some "breeds" whose form is completely different from other monsters. Those monsters have been corrupted and twisted so that they can hardly see the original prototype. They are smoking black smoke and half of the body. They all show a vague state of ambiguity-this is a sign of high assimilation by the chaotic land, the last stage of corrupting monsters, and soon, they will be swallowed by the surrounding mist, and eventually become the power of chaos Part of it.
"... they are indeed corrupted monsters, but how can there be so many?" Vero nica was also dumbfounded to see the scene on the square. "The fire has gone out, and it shouldn't be so attractive ..."
Hao Ren's eyes narrowed, it sounds a bit wrong. (To be continued.)
