Trekking in the wilderness is a difficult journey, but fortunately this journey has not lasted too long-the human health of the Kolo World is far more than that of the earth, and the combat professionals among them are even more Nearly Superman, the Knights were lightly armed, marching on foot, and marching all the way, with only a little rest in between. A few days later, Hao Ren learned from Vero nica that the border of the plain is not far away.
In fact, everyone, including Hao Ren, still ca n’t see the shadow of the shadow jungle, but the traveler amulet in the hands of Vero nica has begun to emit a constant light. This is the reaction to the magic beacon near the edge of the shadow jungle. If all goes well, at most For half a day, everyone will be able to see the iconic landmark landscape between the two areas: The Hill of Unknown Soldier.
The trek along the way is also unsurprising. Although the repressive atmosphere in the chaotic realm brings great psychological pressure, Hao Ren lends the "Holy Relic" of the Knights to bring strong protection to the team. Vero nica has never seen any sacrificial weapon that can bring such a long-lasting and effective asylum. The light emitted by the light white plate has not weakened in the place where the atmosphere of chaos is the strongest. What it has released in the past few days The light of order is almost constant. It does not need recharging or circular purification. That thing is like the incarnation of the divine power. It continues to shelter everyone in chaos, and there is no sign of exhaustion.
This made Her Royal Highness the princess ca n’t help but think, if there are several such relics in the Kingdom ’s army, how many brave soldiers would be saved? The Chaos Expeditionary Forces of the Kingdom will fight beyond the border of order, and if there are more such relics and form a line of defense on the border of the Kingdom, then the chaotic forces will absolutely have no way to threaten the security of the people.
But these thoughts are just turning around in her heart, after all, she did not say it. She knows that every piece of this holy relic from the ancient times is very precious, only in a holy place like Kasuan Temple There are so few pieces left, and the number of sacred objects in the hands of Hao Ren, the "Guardian of the Ancients," is certainly limited, and being a man cannot be too greedy.
In the past few days, apart from following the knights as "guards", Hao Ren basically spent the rest of the time understanding the world view of the world. On the one hand, he exchanged with Vero nica or Morian. On the other hand, they are all kinds of strange phenomena discovered on their way.
Rather than dealing with old knights, he prefers to say a few more words to Princess Vero nica, who has a more straightforward personality-this is not because of the princess's appearance and eye-catching, but because the old knight has a strict personality and has the unique characteristics of the old courtier. Cunning and suspicious, even in the face of the Hao Ren "ancient guardian", the attitude shown by the old man is not so blindly trusted. Morian often doubts or replies to some common-sense questions raised by Hao Ren, compared with the princess. Your Highness is much more friendly. Although Vero nica has not doubted the lack of common sense of Hao Ren, even if she suspected that she didn't say much, on the contrary, for curiosity or other reasons, Her Royal Highness would even take the initiative to talk about some things with Hao Ren.
Now they are discussing things about ancient myths, and these stories are very helpful for the journey.
"... An ancient book says that Kolo in the ancient times was actually a complete land, called" Ancient Koror Continent ". All the kingdoms now are actually connected in those days, and a lot of water formed the ocean. And the river, rushing between the kingdoms, "Vero nica vividly recounted the knowledge she heard from her academic tutor," but there is an evil giant detained in the deepest part of Koror, this giant is called 'Rock Marton ', he was a prisoner of the Goddess of Creation, so he was blocked in the depths of the earth for eternal repression. As the years passed, the chain of Lockmarton lost its effectiveness due to the reversal of the universe, so the evil giant escaped. He struck the land in anger, and the ancient Koror continent was torn apart. There were five largest fragments, which are the Ansu mainland, the continent of glow, the country of eternal winter, the Kanaan secret territory, and the state of the sect In the Holy Land, except for the Kanaan secret realm, the other four continents are ruled by the kingdom of order. "
Hao Ren listened to Vero nica telling these ancient legends, silently linking "Lomaton" and "First born" in his heart, but while doing so, he was also puzzled: First born is a giant tentacle-like creature growing inside the planet, Their image is very different from the human form. Why do humans in this world call it "evil giant" in mythology?
He thought about it and did not delve into this issue: the ancient myths are often missing and distorted, and it is normal for such flaws to appear.
He casually connected the words of Vero nica: "We know the same thing as you ... Well, the world is torn apart, and then it floats in the sea of Karnos (none), right?"
"Yes, the continent floats in nothingness, countless large and small floating islands float between the continents, and the floating river and the magical waves surge endlessly between the cracks after the world shatters ... … But to be honest, I have n’t seen the hanging rivers. I heard that they are spectacular things, but I do n’t see such rivers in the kingdom of Taros. There are only two hanging rivers in the entire Ansu continent, and one is in the beacon Over the country, and in the void beyond the northern border of the Ansu mainland, only the boldest wizards built the mage tower near the hanging river. "
The somewhat carefree princess said while waving her hand: "Actually, I really want to see it, but unfortunately the chaos of the chaos has erupted, and now there is no chance to swim in the mountains."
Hao Ren agreed casually, and at this moment, a hazy hill appeared in his vision.
"That is the Hill of Unknown Soldiers?" he asked from afar.
Vero nica immediately looked in the direction of Hao Ren's fingers. Of course, she didn't see anything. Even if she rubbed her eyes hard, she couldn't see it. Everybody in the body could not see too far in this chaotic mist. .
However, after moving forward for a while, the Hill of Unknown Soldier appeared in everyone's view.
This famous local landscape is presented in front of Hao Ren. Compared to its fame, the hill itself is actually not eye-catching. It is just a small mound raised in the wilderness, with some scattered around it. Messy stones, but on top of this humble little mound, there is a stone statue standing quietly:
It ’s a sculpture of a warrior, made of dense gray and black rock. The face of the warrior has been blurred, but he can still see that he is wearing heavy armor and Qi Yuxuan. He holds a broad sword in his hands and his head is raised. Looking into the depths of the barren and wilderness, it seemed as if the general was looking at the battlefield.
This is the famous "Unknown Soldier's Hill" in the barren wilderness, or the "Unknown Knight's Hill" in Gudravin.
"There is such a sculpture here ..." Hao Ren couldn't help but mumble when he saw this sculpture standing alone in the wilderness. There was no shop in front of the village, and Xiaoqiu itself didn't look like anything. Historical relics, but there is such a vivid sculpture standing here, of course, people can not help but a little curious.
However, Vero nica glanced at him strangely, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you know? Haven't the people of the last generation heard the story of" The Last Elven Empire "?"
When Hao Ren stayed, he suddenly knew he was exposed again, but at this time he made excuses and appeared to be more obvious, so he simply nodded and admitted: "I really do n’t know, or even if I know, I ca n’t match it- Ten centuries have passed, and many things have changed their appearance. Even many of our words are different from what you mean now. What do you mean by "the last elven empire" in our time? "
This reason is justified. Vero nica slightly reduces the doubts in my heart, but explains: "That is really an ancient legend. It is said that there was a very powerful elven empire named barren wilderness in the wilderness six thousand years ago. 'Sukhoma', this empire has a great and ambitious emperor who unified all the kingdoms on the plain and ruled almost the entire Ansu continent. He wanted to build the greatest kingdom on land, and almost Success, but just when he was about to be sworn in as the king of the Ansu continent, the tide of chaos broke out.
"It is said that it was the strongest tide of chaos in that whole millennium. Darkness erupted from the hinterland of the elven empire and quickly spread to the entire continent along the magical veins of the wilderness. The empire experienced thirty Hell-like hot days and nights ushered in another 30 days and nights of cold winters that turned steel into powder, followed by plagues, floods, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Finally, 8% of Ansu mainland The land of order of ten began to desolate, almost in the blink of an eye, the power of chaos broke all the lines of defense ...
"The elven king ’s aspirations quickly broke down, but he still fought to death with his remaining soldiers. The last rebels fought and retreated. Their final battlefield was the emperor in the elven king city. In front of the seat-right here, this is the capital of that glorious empire. "
Hao Ren looked around and only saw the vast wasteland.
"So this is the elven king?" he asked, pointing at the "sculpture" on the hill.
"Many people think so. The elven king stood and died in front of his throne. When all his guards fell, he supported his body with his sword, watching the burning city, saying: I ’m going to stand here and watch my kingdom sink into darkness, and it will rise one day, and then I will fall. Then the oath of the elven king is fulfilled: he stands here forever, The wind and rain for six thousand years have not destroyed this stone statue. It is said that he will stand here forever until the elf becomes the master of this continent again, or the world of Koror is coming to an end. "
After listening to this story, Hao Ren has not spoken for a long time, and finally he broke the silence: "Then it should be called the Hill of the Unknown King."
Vero nica shook his head: "The elf king was holding a sword and stood dead. He left the world as a warrior, so this is called the Hill of Unknown Soldier." (To be continued.)
