Chapter 13 (1/2)
”The land of black earth?”
Not everyone knows the meaning of the word ”black soil”.
Cecilia and truen will know that Sean will not be surprised. Because the word ”black earth” is handed down by magicians, and the kingdom of potoroa is a country dominated by magic, truun will know that ”black earth” is not unusual.
”You know there is a land of black soil here. Why didn't you tell us at the beginning!” Durun suddenly looked like a grumpy beast. The elegance and etiquette of the aristocracy completely disappeared from him at this moment. ”Do you know the danger of the black land!”
”I know.” Sean said calmly, ”remember what I told you? This is the forest of stars and meteorites, a place I know better than you. ”
”You...” frightened by Sean's so calm momentum, truen didn't know what to say for a moment.
”What is the land of black earth?” Old Peter also frowned. At this moment, he noticed the panic and fear in Durun's heart.
The atmosphere became a little overcast and cold.
Fear began to breed in the crowd.
”Let's go first,” he said as he walked along the road Instead of answering immediately, Sean urged everyone to get ready and set off immediately.
Although after the development and revolution of Shengshi, miracle has been improved to a great extent, especially in AI. However, there is still a big gap between the game and reality. At least in the game, Sean hasn't heard of anyone who will be treated so grandly by the wind grain black wolf group. Even if there is a ”ethnic hatred” dubuff on him, he is far from strong enough to need the wind grain black wolf king to do it himself.
Sure enough, there is still a big difference between game and reality.
The team soon embarked on the journey again. It may be caused by the changes in the attitudes of Cecilia and truun. The whole team was in an extremely tense atmosphere. Sean knows that this will accelerate the physical and mental consumption of the team, but at this time, he has no time to take into account the psychological adjustment in this regard, because he himself must pay high attention to prevent any accidents that may occur.
But just because Sean doesn't answer doesn't mean the rest of the team will be silent.
Although Haley's body is a little fat, he has lost some weight in recent days. At the moment, although he is still panting when running, he can at least say a few words: ”Mr. truen, in the end... The land of black earth... What is...?”
Truun's face struggled and his eyes fell on Sean's back: ”that madman!”
But in the end, you can only sigh helplessly: ”you should all know that when the ash age comes, the world will no longer have any light, and the order of the old era will completely collapse...”
Hearing Durun's words, Sean couldn't help thinking of the original official background setting of miracle.
At the end of the twilight era, the hatred of the people towards the gods was so great that it could not be repaired. Therefore, the people no longer believed in the gods, and the angry gods lowered the divine punishment, so the whole world became chaotic. Because they no longer believe in the gods, the people who have lost their divine power have to start to develop in other aspects. They begin to contact the field of elements, so they can use magical means without the help of divine power, which makes the gods feel panic and fear. Therefore, in order to re-establish the majesty of the gods, The gods finally launched a protracted war with the people.
It was a losing war called ”twilight of the gods” by historians.
After the war, the gods no longer existed, but the people did not usher in their so-called ideal world. The alienation power left by the divine power and elements broke the order of the whole world, lost the protection of the gods, and the sky lost its color. Desolation and ruins became the most common scene in the whole world, just like the ashes left after the flame burned.
Because of this, this era is called the ash age.
”In the ash age, there is no light in the world, and even the air is turbid.” Durun said in a deep voice, ”but these are not the most terrible. What is really terrible is the ubiquitous dark forces in the world. Under the continuous invasion of these dark forces, any species will be deprived of life, and only some places in the world that still retain the power of residual order can survive. ”
”These places are called the ark.” Cecilia quietly took over truun's words, ”the gods still didn't abandon the people after all. At the last moment of that war, the God of order may have realized something. He sacrificed himself at the end and turned himself into countless fire for recovery The reason why the ark can let all the people continue to live is that there is a recovery fire in the ark. Only the power of order generated by the recovery fire can resist the invasion of the dark forces. ”
