Creating a Sandbox World

In the study, Lin Tuo stared at the sand table with a serious expression, and his brows could not help but frown.

On the virtual panel, although the concentration of ether is still "low level", the bright red falling arrow at the end still makes people panic.

Throughout the morning, the ether did not fall, but the duration was not long.

Most of the time, it's up.

But right now, something is obviously wrong.

"What's the problem? It stands to reason that the current social situation is still on the rise, and there is no reason for it to fall.

It can't be that some unborn genius of cultivation has been born, and the speed of absorbing ether is too fast, so it's too late to replenish it, right? "

Lin Tuo thought suspiciously, and at the same time manipulated the virtual panel with his mind, opened the operation log, and began to read some recent information, trying to find the reason.

At a glance, there were no words such as "war", "famine", or "disease", which made him even more puzzled.

After browsing several times, Lin Tuo finally locked his eyes on one of them:

[World Evolution Year 30652, the Northern Church promulgated the "Heresy Trial" decree, arresting and killing wizards in the Kingdom of Delai]

"A trial of heresy?" Seeing this, Lin Tuo suddenly smelled something unusual.

This information is not very eye-catching in the log. If it is normal, Lin Tuo will probably only regard it as a religious war, a kind of power struggle.

But combined with the situation of ether falling, it deserves his serious attention.

"Could it be that the decline in ether is due to the hunting of wizards?"

If he guessed correctly, the group of wizards should refer to the descendants of evolutionists with extraordinary abilities, or groups with a higher level of life than ordinary people through practice.

It stands to reason that this type of group should be at the top of human society. Even if different power groups are fighting, they can't be described as "hunting and killing". It sounds like it is full of imbalances.

In fact, referring to the content of the operation log, it seems that the wizarding community did enjoy a high authority in the past thousand years.

As for whether it declined later, there is no clear record, and Lin Tuo does not know.

"It's always a doubt, let's not discuss the reasons behind it, assuming that the quality of life of the wizard group is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people.

Then their large number of deaths in a short period of time offset the rising momentum of the slow development of civilization and caused the decline of ether, which is logically explainable. "

While thinking, Lin Tuo immediately closed the virtual panel to avoid its interference with the field of vision, and then slowly approached the sand table, trying to observe the distribution of ether clouds on the north and south continents inside the isolation enclosure.

And as Lin Tuo's vision swept over, the wisps of bluish-white air floating in the sky slowly came into view.

They cover the sky above the kingdom of man.

The larger and bustling the city, the denser and more conspicuous the ether above it. As for remote places and places with few people, Lin Tuo would even ignore their existence if he didn't observe carefully.

Looking at the northern and southern continents, it can be seen with the naked eye that the northern continent is more dense, and among the northern countries, the sky above the Dreylord Kingdom is the most dense and impressive.

This is also the main source area collected by Lin Tuo.

At this moment, the cloud of ether hangs in the sky peacefully, flowing slowly, and since the flow rate of time has been adjusted to 1:1, its decrease is not very large.

This also proves from the side that the reduction of ether in the sandbox is not a short-term cliff-like decline caused by a war like a natural disaster, but a more gentle one.

When Lin Tuo's gaze swept across the entire sky, strands of illusory filaments became clear.

Each one means an individual who is practicing Qi-breathing method, especially the capital of the Draai Kingdom has the most silk threads, which are densely packed and connected into one piece.

Every second many threads break,

There are also new silk threads for hair growth.

It's just that when Lin Tuo tried to compare it with the observation results in the morning, he found that there were significantly fewer silk threads that were thicker, that is, with better talents.

"Is it really related to hunting wizards?"

Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to investigate.

He still doesn't know what's going on. It's fine if it's just factional fighting, which is part of the development of human society, but he feels uneasy in his heart, and always feels that something is wrong.

In contrast, it is better to find out to be at ease.

"I hope I'm just thinking too much."

Laughing at himself, Lin Tuo immediately raised his hand and summoned the avatar without delay.

After thinking about it, he didn't arrive at the capital directly, but chose the nearest one, a small town with ether silk threads floating, and slowly lowered his right hand.

At the same time, the "Zoom" ability is turned on.

In his field of vision, the entire sand table map was also rapidly zoomed in on this point, and the originally tiny town gradually became clear and concrete.

...

...

spring.

No matter where it is, spring is always a season of joy for most races.

In the Northern Continent, east of the Sunset Plain, the tail of the Pale Mountains turns here. The towering mountains resist the cold wind blowing from afar, and the Yinma River flows under the mountains.

The turbulent flow that had thawed early spread along the ancient river channel to the entire plain, nourishing countless lives.

Human towns and cities are dotted along the way.

Oaktown is located here.

The name of the town is quite simple, and it is said that it dates back to the pioneering era, which is very different from the fancy style that is popular in the Draai Kingdom today.

The scale of Oak Town is not small, even within the entire kingdom, it is considered above average.

All kinds of facilities, such as churches and monasteries, are available. There are poor slave laborers, as well as wealthy businessmen and nobles. Especially the closer to the center of the town, there are also a lot of glamorous people and magnificent buildings.

It's just that the old city wall outside is exposed to wind and rain, has been in disrepair for a long time, and is seriously aging. Looking at it from a distance, it always looks shabby.

"Lord Baron, before this winter, the city walls must be repaired, especially in the southeast section. The collapse is serious, and it cannot be repaired."

When Baron Carter walked along the corridor of his castle expressionlessly, through the garden, and slowly walked into his study room where he handled his daily affairs.

I saw my housekeeper and deputy coming forward with a bitter face, holding a repair document drawn up last year, and said.

He was in a trance for a short time, then came back to his senses, nodded, and said expressionlessly:

"Understood, let's put it there, I will look at it later, is there anything else?"

"There is one more thing. In the morning, the church sent someone to send a document. Well, because you haven't gotten up yet, and it doesn't look very important, so I put it away. Here it is."

The housekeeper heard the words and said, and immediately handed over a document together with the repair document.

However, Baron Carter did not answer.

It's just that the whole person was frozen in place, motionless, his body was stiff, and he seemed to be in a trance, or something he was worried about finally happened, and his face, which was already bad, suddenly turned pale.
