The Record of Unusual Creatures

In Kolo, ancient sites with heavy stories like the "Unknown Soldier's Hill" are numerous, and in the years of chaos, the heroic warriors, the great emperors, the wise scholars, the generals of Yum! One after another, the characters who once shined in history are indulged in the seemingly endless darkness. No matter how fascinating epics, how brilliant the great men are in the ever-changing war wheel of the Kolo world. Grinding and crushing, like the cheapest consumables, is constantly being consumed in the grand time span of the millennium. √

Like the great elf emperor six thousand years ago, he once unified a whole piece of big 6 and fought bravely with chaos, but in the end he even drowned his name in the long river of history, his empire was gone, even one piece Bricks and tiles have not been left, only the most wise and knowledgeable scholars can find a little sporadic description in the book, and then tell the story about the ancient emperor in the most unreliable way.

In Kolo, it's all commonplace.

However, Hao Ren, a bystander, could not do it indifferently. As a censor, he could hardly accept a civilization and indulge in the darkness in this way. For a whole 10,000 years, Kolo’s mortal race was in the war. All power is consumed in a tug-of-war with meaningless chaos. There is a problem in this world. He feels that he must find a way to understand the truth behind this.

After bidding farewell to the Unknown Soldier, the team speeded up. Veronica hopes to reach the shadow jungle border before the end of the day. She has confirmed her position. If all goes well, the knights can see the jungle border after a few hours. A kingdom outpost.

Hao Ren noticed that the Cavalier princess was a little impatient. This was especially evident after leaving the hill of the unknown soldier. It seems that some urgent things have already been born, and the Princess His Royal Highness is both powerless and anxious. According to the exchanges with the knights before, he could vaguely guess what happened: Veronica’s army retreated into the barren field after a defeat. The chaotic army in the shadow jungle broke through the human blockade and moved to the order kingdom. After a raid, His Royal Highness is worried about the fate of her country and the people, and if there is no miracle, this fate is obviously not optimistic.

Morian walked with Hao Ren, the gray-haired old knight still remained as serious as ever, and the angular face did not see much mood swings. He also had Veronica in his heart. The same worry, but the veteran knows how to fully control this emotion. He looked at Hao Ren, who was silent, suddenly breaking the silence: "What is the country of the group a thousand years ago?"

Hao Ren was busy testing various communication channels in the mental connection. He was shocked when he heard the sudden sounding around him. He accidentally looked at Morian, but for the first time in a few days, the other party took the initiative to talk to himself. It is not the old knight who has any opinions on him, but the old man is silent. Hao Ren blinked and didn't know what the other party suddenly said about the problem, but he also remembered that his identity in the other's eyes was an ancient high-order temple guard, which should have a lot to do with the "teaching country". So, I answered it in a very ambiguous way: "Probably there is very little change in the church with you in this age, and the priest is doomed."

Morian nodded nodded and silenced for a few seconds before he said: "The failure we encountered was half of the reason for the sudden withdrawal of the group. I have no intention of blaming or complaining. I just want to know. Under what circumstances will the group state do this?"

The old knight said while setting his sight on Hao Ren, the expression is just to get a definitive answer, but Hao Ren is instantly circled: Who knows his mother! Although he ran out of an ancient temple, and also named the "ancient guardian", but his fake guy has a dime relationship with the world's parish! His pope is hanging under the name of the goddess of brains...

At this time, Veronica, who was walking in front, also heard the movement coming over. Her Royal Highness also paid attention to this topic. She frowned. "For several thousand years, the country has been in various kingdoms. They sheltered. The entire order world, their authority is built on this responsibility, but their retreat in the shadow jungle can not be concealed, this will spread sooner or later, the church's prestige will suffer huge losses... Guardian, you think the Order For what reason will the country know that such losses will also be forcibly withdrawn?"

Hao Ren opened his mouth and finally got some inspiration from the employee handbook and some classic cases seen in the tutorial document. He said vaguely: "I have a feeling of uneasiness, which must be a huge change inside the church. Maybe it is a problem in the territory of the troupe."

"The Sanctuary will have problems?" Morian raised his eyebrows. "How is it possible... The miracle of the goddess of creation is on the big 6 and there is never any chaotic power to get close to the sanctuary."

Hao Ren said casually: "Maybe something other than chaotic power?"

As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding area was a bit strange and quiet.

"Amount...I just said it casually." Hao Ren looked at the atmosphere and knew that he seemed to be saying something wrong, so he rushed to remedy it, but he had not had time to say a few more words, and the corner of his eye suddenly saw the front. The shadow of the forest.

Shadow jungle, just in front of you.

The Shadow Jungle was once a vibrant and dense forest. Before the chaos of the chaos, this large forest between the plains and the kingdom was the important timber and alchemy material of Talos, and it was also a few wild elves and goblins. home. The forest stretches along the western and southern borders of the Talos Kingdom, forming a half-moon-shaped vast area. In the depths of the jungle, there are several elf settlements. In peace, the elves rely on collecting herbs and magic ore deep in the forest. Come to trade with humans outside the forest and exchange for necessities, while the goblins live with the elves and are responsible for maintaining the magic flow in the forest.

But the tide of chaos changed the face of the forest. The original green plants turned into dark, twisted and demonized trees. The vines were highly poisonous. The shrubs began to swallow the living creatures passing by the forest roads, and the soil also lost the function of supporting life. The herbs and food that can be used by humans are no longer grown in the jungle. When the water in the jungle is also poisoned, the elves and goblins evacuate their homes. According to Veronica, they are withdrawn from the forest. Fairies and elves now live in several towns in the west and south of Taros, living as temporary citizens and assisting humans in protecting the borders of order.

Hao Ren was a little surprised after hearing this, but he soon knew that this was a fairly normal phenomenon in the world of Kolo:

Chaos is always invading the kingdoms. The tides of the sea of ​​Carnos will change the pattern of the big 6 every 100 years. The powerful kingdom can maintain a relatively stable territory in this turmoil (the larger empire) It can last for ten centuries, but the small city-states and discrete groups that live on the edge of the order are hard to maintain. They are not weak at first, but may be the kingdom of the last chaotic tide. Descendants, after the start of the new tide cycle, they cannot protect their homes that have been broken, and they can only seek refuge in the surrounding kingdoms.

Usually, each kingdom will not refuse this kind of help.

Because everyone knows that they will always have such a day.

The elves in the shadow jungle also had a kingdom two centuries ago. This kingdom ruled the entire forest, not just a few settlements, but in the end they fell down and became a vassal of the Talos Kingdom. The Kingdom of Talos may also be like this. The once proud mountain people will become a few tribes wandering on the edge of the forest. When chaos and order once again conflict, they will also have to seek refuge in a new country...

Veronica looked at the dark forest, and the ancient wood pressed down on his head and bit his lip.

The kingdom may be overturned, but not today.

Hao Ren walked with a deep foot behind Veronica, and the road in the shadow jungle was extremely difficult to walk. In fact, there is basically nothing that can be called "road", which is activated by chaotic pollution. The plants are always active, and even the land is not so stable. He sees the two old trees slowly moving in the distance as if they were long, and the soil is slowly condensing under his eyelids. The stone softens into a mud. In this case, even though there have been avenues of human construction in the jungle, it has now been completely swallowed up.

If the wilderness is a dead place in the fog, then the shadow jungle is a horror dream that constantly surges like a nightmare. Everything born here is creepy.

But even in such a creepy black forest of magic, there are orderly shelters.

The Talos Kingdom has spent a lot of manpower and resources to build fire stations in the forest. These outposts are important eyes and ears for the kingdom of order to monitor the chaotic boundary. Each outpost needs to consume amazing resources to maintain stability in the Black Forest. But this kind of investment is worthwhile: if it were not for the existence of these outposts, it would be impossible for such a small kingdom of Taros to persist in the seventh year in the chaos of this century.

Soon the team approached the first fire outpost under the leadership of Veronica, Hao Ren saw a glimmer in the darkness ahead, and the surrounding forests looked normal: swinging carnivorous shrubs and The magical trees that will walk are restored to normal plants, which is an expression of order.

Seeing the shadowy buildings in the depths of the jungle, Veronica finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although she had already made the worst plan, she couldn't help but feel comforted at the moment. Maybe the goddess of creation has not abandoned. This troubled kingdom.

However, Hao Ren couldn't help but frown. The shimmer in front is indeed with a breath of order, but with one of them... there is also a touch of blood. (To be continued.) 8
