Chapter 864: In the Nain
Rhode gazed at the tall tower that sees with 200 to 300 floors on Earth The thick crystal glass plates on its exterior reflected the brilliance of the tinder while green vines climbed around it, which reminded him of movie scenes of destroyed cities… Yes, he had to admit that this beautiful view of hu In the distant azure sky, there was a glass-like barrier that kept out all Chaos That was the strength of the tinder Unlike the strength of Order that was struggling whilst at death’s door in the refuge, Chaos wasn’t able to penetrate this perfect Order barrier despite the tinder already being so weak
“Order exists forever over Chaos”
“Keep your guards up and don’t attack recklessly I don’t wish for theazed curiously at the tower Rhode shrugged and nodded in agreeht If I recall correctly, there should be Order Refugees living there But unlike the ones in the refuge, the Order Refugees here are protected by the tinder, so they shouldn’t be that…” Rhode shi+fted his gaze to Bell, waved his hands casually, and skipped this part But even if he didn’t e knehat he uess you’re aware that the people here have been secluded for hundreds and thousands of years We may possibly be their first visitors Currently, this is their territory and we need their help So, noas it doesn’t threaten your life, you do not retaliate Understood? Besides, don’t belittle those guys Although they remain isolated here, they are a race that has ht Mainland war a thousand years ago It definitely isn’t due to luck for them to survive to this date All in all, you should never attack unless I give the co, but you have to know that the tio, strictly speaking”
“Yes, Sir”
Everyone responded in unison But they were also curious A thousand years ago? If it was according to what Rhode said, then these people had already lived here before Munn Kingdom was built At this moment, they didn’t take notice of Marlene, who stood a distance away fro at the toith coe and let out a subtle sigh
It seems like I’m eventually back to this place
Rhode turned to the entrance that was blocked off by a thick, heavy slate Then, he took in a deep breath and took two steps forward, when suddenly an arrow struck the ground before hie voice
“… Who’s there… Where did you… coh everyone was soe, they could still understand to a certain extent They looked up hurriedly, but no one acted recklessly
Rhode scanned the tre arroith the feather tail He took half a step forward and looked at the pitch-black tower before hih it seemed to be uninhabited, he knew clearly that this was the tih he told his subjects that the Order Refugees here wouldn’t be as crazy and dangerous as the ones in the refuge, he are that the years of isolation e their perspective, just like in the Eastern Plains, where people had different views on matters of the outside The Eastern Plains wasn’t entirely cut off from the rest of the world, but this place was Therefore, the behavior and ht be entirely the opposite of those from the outside world It could even be said that this place had no standards of humanity For instance, the players also met this situation when they explored this area The residents had a unique custom and that was if the newborn was a boy and had a disability, they would instantly kill it and use it as fertilizer or livestock food If the newborn was a girl with a disability, she would be nurtured and used as a ‘fertility machine’ This was because this place was completely cut off from the outside world, where the protection of the tinder would entirely deteriorate if they couldn’t breed offspring to maintain the place Therefore, it was totally nornant with children of different fathers Not only that, but soe would also be executed or chased out of the place, in order to save on food, water, and supplies
It was apparent that not only the NPCs couldn’t tolerate such custoaroup, there were anizations co that such overly cruel displays would harm the mentality of children Besides, it was too unacceptable for the modern human society In the end, the developer was forced to switch up that part of the game under the pressure of public opinion However, they had only changed the minimal stuff on the table for the sake of harmony For instance, players in the past would personally witness the Order Refugees chasing the frail and old out of the tinder barrier or slaughtering them directly But later on, players would only witness the taken away and after a few days with careful observations, players could find traces and chunks of bloody flesh around Although players continued to oppose, the developers had better things to do and in the end, they could only settle theit unsettled—anyway, this wasn’t the first tiames faced such a proble a monopoly…
Rhode shook his head helplessly Back then, the Dragon Soul Continent was extreah the other coaon Soul Continent’s developers and were never distributed to the public Of course, some countries penalized them in accordance with anti-monopoly laws, but the developers weren’t swayed at all Moreover, the attractiveness of this virtual reality game was too much to resist for the players In the end, every country could only turn a blind eye and appease the people if there were any objections Fortunately, the disputed topics surrounding the Dragon Soul Continent were h-pressure situations in which the players had been angered by clauses, frauds, or soh Rhode didn’t know if the residents here were normal humans or cannibals, he had to see it for himself All he could do was hope that the residents wouldn’t behave uncharacteristically before Lize, Marlene, and the others, such as selling their babies and cooking thee situations that uardians of the tinder Firstly, he couldn’t explain the situation to thein had anti-huid, their values weren’t too different from ordinary humans
“Guardians of the tinder”
Rhode called out
“We are people frouidance of our ancestors to awaken the tinder I hope that you can open the entrance, so we can enter the ultimate path to Order!”
“…”
Total silence
There wasn’t a single sound from within the tower After all, as the people of Order, since they carried the heavy responsibilities of protecting the tinder, it wasn’t wrong that they observed the visitors cautiously
But… It took rather too long
Rhode gazed at the tower silently before taking a look at his pocket watch One and a half hours had gone by, but they didn’t respond at all Did they not intend to interact with Rhode? Or were they carefully investigating the situation? Rhode scanned the surroundings boringly, and shortly after he shi+fted his gaze to the sealed entrance, which had the pattern of a beautiful flower that seemed like a symbol However, the pattern had almost vanished entirely over time For unknown reasons, Rhode felt that he had seen this symbol somewhere…
“Let me do it, Rhode”
At this hts He twitched his brow and turned over, only to find Marlene walking out of the crowd She gazed sole, she took out an old-looking badge froical radiance ee and shone the pattern of a staff with a lily in full bloom
“I hereby declare——!”
