The Amber Sword - 1537

Countless lights shuttled in front of my eyes, colorful and radiant.

Behind the heavy halo, in just a short step, it seemed that Brando had experienced a long time, and Brando stepped on a solid ground. When he came back to his senses, the scene in front of him had already changed-the underground caves disappeared, the light gates of time had disappeared, and the stalagmites and mysterious magic powers were no longer visible in the darkness. With the erosion pattern, there was only a thick mist and boundless black void in front of her eyes.

Qian appeared right behind him, and the girl was holding the Azure Spear, looking at this place in a daze.

Here is the world behind the’door’-

A world surrounded by heavy fog.

A huge tree root passes through the mist and hangs in the darkness. Compared with this tree root, people are like tiny dust. All around the tree root is an empty abyss, and there is a screaming wind in the darkness. Come, like a terrible ghost laugh.

The two stood on top of the tree roots, swallowed by thick fog before and after.

The monotonous sound of the wind surrounds the eardrums, but besides that, there is a feeling of loneliness in the surroundings—the howling wind is flowing noisily in the depths of darkness, but the heavy mist around it is motionless.

It seems to be a static world.

After Akane, Medissa and Hippamilla also arrived one by one, and Shire followed the Tiger Sparrow, the last one to appear. He stepped on his foot, clicked, lowered his head, and found that he had stepped on a thin layer of ice.

“What the hell is this?” Shire let out a sigh, and the heat quickly condensed into a white mist.

The people found that the surrounding temperature was very low, even the fog was a layer of fine ice dust, and a layer of hoarfrost hung on the trunk of the tree where they were standing. But it’s not just the cold, there seems to be an unclear breath lingering in the darkness, permeating into the bone marrow.

Before Shire’s words fell, a stern scream came from behind everyone. Brando turned his head keenly and saw a monster with two armpit wings bursting through the fog, but Akane had already blocked him first, and the Azure Spear pierced it, nailing the thing to the tip of the spear. superior.

Everyone could see the monster’s appearance clearly. It was a creature with a skull as thin as a firewood and resembling a bat, but it was completely dark and could not see its face. It was like a shadow splashed with thick ink. Its limbs were long and thin, with only one eye in each position. Thin opening.

Akane threw it to the ground, and the monster hissed and struggled for a while and then died.

“Shadow monster?” Charles was stunned when he saw this thing, and couldn’t help but said: “This is the Kingdom of Shadows?”

Metisa on the side shook her head, her silver eyes reflected the depth and darkness of her surroundings, and replied, “Although the time goes by here is much faster than the material world, it should indeed be a lower world, but do you smell it? ?”

“What do you smell?” Charles sneezed and complained: “I just feel that it’s too damn cold here, Snee–”

Mordefense looked at him curiously: “Is it cold here, Mr. Charles, but I feel a little comfortable. There seems to be a sense of peace here, as if by the Lord’s side.”

He looked at Andriguez and asked, “What do you think, sister?”

“Except for the last point,” Andrrig replied indifferently: “All agree.”

Qian frowned and wiped the tip of her gun. She looked at the ugly corpse and asked Brando beside her in a low voice, “Lord Lord, what is the lower realm?”

Brando looked at this world and replied: “The lower world is the cornerstone of our world. These worlds are composed of simple laws and are the manifestation of these laws. The shallow sea, the scorching river, the stone hub and the The Storm-Stop Mountain is also such a world, but it is higher than them. These worlds are the bottom worlds of the Tiamat network, such as the shadow world and the gray world. In these worlds, because the law is incomplete, the flow of time will be higher than The physical world is faster.”

Aloz also said: “Yes, in simple terms, the Tiamat network that runs through our world is a tree. The lower the tree, the simpler the foundation of the law; and the higher it goes, the more branches there are. Complex. In the main part of the tree, at the bottom of it is the world composed of the simplest and most basic laws. This is the lower realm, and further up are the four more complex element realms, which also surround them. Our world is called the outer world or elemental boundary.”

“Our world is located in the middle level of all worlds, but not only Vaughan, these worlds are collectively called the material world, or the middle level or the atrium. Above the middle level, there is the upper level, such as the Silver Plains and the gods. Our Kingdom of God-the Truth Society, the Tribunal and the Gate of Judgment.”

This knowledge is obviously too advanced for Akane. She blinked slowly, her moist eyes looked a little confused in the darkness, and asked, “So which world is this?”

“This is the land of the dead, Heim Underworld—”

The little goblin Rutter sitting on Ropar’s shoulder said: “It is not the mist but the breath of death that pervades the darkness. It is not the wind in the depths of the darkness, but the sound of the whole world being dying.”

“Death?” The little dragon sucked her little nose vigorously. Her eyes were more like two golden flames in the dark, shining brightly: “But the smell in the mist is not rancid or old. ”

Root replied quietly: “The breath of death is not a rotting corpse. The corpse is just a sign of death. Death is a state, symbolizing eternal sleep, and everything here is dead, hanging in the mist. The corpse in the wind and water, the living cannot smell the breath of death. The reason Miss Medissa can do it is because the elves themselves are very sensitive to life and death.”

“No wonder we feel peaceful,” Mordefeis also said suddenly: “It turns out that this is the place of eternal sleep, the home of the dead.”

But Aloz was still dissatisfied, and pierced in the egg and said: “Everything here is dead? But aren’t we still alive?”

“That’s because we didn’t come in through the normal way,” the fairy lady on Malocha’s head stood up, and she grabbed two long antlers and said: “I don’t know why the fir collar can lead to the sea. The underworld, but this is obviously not the real entrance to the kingdom of the dead.”

“The real entrance to the kingdom of the dead is under the Dagiol Styx. Have you seen the surrounding abyss? Below this abyss, it should be the underworld. The foundation of the world is constantly falling into the underworld. In the midst, that’s why it made such a roar,” Miss Fairy glanced at Ruth proudly, and hummed: “Minghai was originally under the shallow sea. I know more about this than that guy.”

Root glanced at her, too lazy to care about this little girl.

“The Sea of Hades is the Sea of Chaos?” Huque asked.

“It can be said that it is, but it can also be said that it is not. The Sea of Underworld is part of the law of Tiamat, but it is indeed built on the Sea of Chaos.” Brando nodded slowly, and he raised his head to look at the huge underfoot. Tree roots.

Others also looked at the root of this tree, and someone asked, “Could it be that this is the root of the legendary World Tree?”

“Yes,” the little silver elf princess looked at the root of the tree with some shock, and replied confidently: “The world tree itself is the manifestation of the law of Tiamat. I now finally understand why there is a world tree in the ring of trade winds. Now, Lord Martha in the underground of the firs has sealed an entrance to the underworld of Heim. According to legend, one of the three root systems of the world tree leads to this world. The ring of trade winds must be affected by this law to be able to project. Come out of the world tree.”

“I heard that the Ring of the World also has a World Tree, what about that World Tree?” Charles asked again.

Medissa blinked suspiciously and looked at him: “Did the Buga tell you?”

Charles coughed awkwardly: “I am not a real silver wizard after all. For mortal wizards, not all the documents in the White Tower can be read.”

“So that’s the case.” Metisa smiled apologetically, and then replied: “The World Tree is an embodiment of Tiamat’s Law, just like what Miss Aloz described earlier. It connects Martha and the gods. Every world created-so in every world, there will be at least one world tree. Lord Lord has been to the Silver Plains, and I should have seen the legendary black tower.”

Brando suddenly said: “Is that the world tree?”

Metisa nodded: “The dwarves only built a fortress with it, and Valhalla is the same. Therefore, the World Tree Fortress is one of the five legendary fortresses, and it is as famous as the Babel Fortress -” she sweet With a sweet smile, he said with a slightly reminiscence: “The world tree also grows in my hometown. In the holy land of the elves, the Holy Silver Valley in Alfheim in the upper world also has something like Valhalla. A giant tree of, it is like our mother, so the silver elves are so familiar with the world tree.”

“Through the world tree, can we reach any world?” Brando asked.

“Yes, but it’s not always true.” At this point, the little silver elf princess feels a little embarrassed: “The existing material world today-Warnd Continent is only a very small part of the entire world, but it is almost the only part left. , Most of the world was destroyed in the past wars, or disappeared because of the restart. If you still remember the words of the travel wizard Mr. Trishman, you should know that he came from such a world, but his homeland has long since disappeared. ”

“Just like the world of stagnation?”

“It’s like a stagnant world.”

“You’ve never told me this before. Did Fucia remind you of something from the past, Metisa?” Brando looked at the little silver elf princess, a little strange about her behavior.

Metisa nodded: “The moment I was resurrected, I understood everything in the past.”

Brando couldn’t help being silent.

He was stunned for a moment before repliing: “In any case, what we are doing now is to prevent the tragedy from repeating. Since the time of the Lower Realm is passing by much faster than Warend, the time left for us is even more precious, let’s go. Bar.”

The group of people then walked forward.

But Qian wondered how to find the right direction in such a place. She raised her head and looked around. It was obvious that there was more than this root in the mist. In the deep darkness, the criss-crossing root system was densely distributed throughout the space. Inside, it’s like a huge maze.

But Brando immediately answered her doubts with actions.

He took out the seven slabs from the floating celestial sphere-the seven slabs spliced into a spherical shape were suspended in his hand, and the whole sphere radiated a soft light, like a lighthouse, and the sphere of light was straight in one direction. The ground shot out a beam of light, and the beam of light fell far into the mist.

This is the most precious legacy left by Antitina’s father for them, and its name is Hope.

Everyone followed the guidance of the light. The fog in the darkness was thick and sometimes sparse, and the surrounding terrain also changed with the winding and staggering of the roots. Not long after walking, Tia, who was next to Flor, kicked something. She screamed in surprise, Brando from behind came up with a stride to support the little girl, but found that Tia was kicking. It was actually a corpse.

The corpse had the characteristics of typical insect creatures, like some kind of arthropod, but its body was spliced by pieces of transparent purple crystals. Brando understood what the corpse of this creature was after just one glance. He frowned slightly, unexpectedly seeing this thing here.

“This is… a cluster of crystals?” Aloz also recognized it.

“This is not an ordinary crystal cluster,” Brando replied: “This is the lord of the crystal cluster. Strange, did the evening invade here?”

Charles came up from behind, and gently poked the corpse with his staff, and with a soft click, one foot of the corpse of the crystal cluster collapsed and shattered to the ground. He saw this scene and shook his head and said: “This thing may have been for some time, and it is not a product of our time.”

“In the past, there was even the Twilight War in the Kingdom of the Dead?”

“It may not be the main battlefield, but the underworld of Heim is the kingdom of the goddess of the dead moon. Before she fell, she was also a powerful deity. There is nothing weird about fighting the twilight minions.” Aloz replied, she wrinkled Raised his eyebrows and said: “I even doubt it, this is the battlefield where she fell–”

Everyone raised their heads subconsciously and looked forward.

In the fog ahead, a long bridge appeared unexpectedly.

“What’s that?” Phineas the goblin asked subconsciously.

But Metisa put a finger up and said to everyone, “Shhh—”

Behind the fog, two scarlet light spots appeared-like two groups of flames floating in the air, it swayed slowly, getting closer and closer to the crowd. Soon after the light spot, a tall figure appeared. Brando saw that it turned out to be a tall skeleton. He used to think that Kabais was the most powerful skeleton he had ever seen. , But compared with this fearsome skeleton, the opponent is nothing short of a horror.

It was actually the skeleton of a giant. He was holding a huge anchor in one hand and a lantern emitting light that could penetrate the fog in the other, and he swayed forward.

“That thing is… undead?” someone asked in a low voice.

“It’s not an ordinary undead,” Brando had recognized the thing and couldn’t help but swallowed a spit: “That is Mordegood, the king of dead bones, the bridgekeeper of the bridge of the dead, the ancestor of the dead. ——It is said that it will never let the breath of the living enter the world of the dead and disturb the peace of the sleepers…”

“My lord means that it might not let us pass here?” Huque asked.

“Then what shall we do?” Qian asked with a frown.

“It’s very simple,” Charles replied, “Of course it is to get rid of it!”
