Blood of Mercury - v3 Chapter 36
At this moment, Roland and Elucado were walking on the water.
To be precise, they were walking on the vast sea south of Titan, marching on the bright red ice road slowly emerging from the sea, all the way to the north.
This sea, which looks like it is soaked in a sunken sunset, is called the Wandering Sea.
Thousands of years ago, two-thirds of this sea was land, and there were flourishing civilizations.
High elves, goblins, and dragons are far from the northern wilderness, and there will be no dangerous and aggressive races such as frost ghosts, ice giants, and ice dragons. Many relatively peaceful and powerful races will choose to establish a country in the south.
At the same time, because the south is adjacent to the element plane, it is convenient for the occupation of the element to communicate with the element plane. At that time, there were still a group of warriors who could use the power of elements, such as the Fist of Heat, the Howling Shocker, etc., and there were also elementalists similar to sacrifices. This kind of priests served the lords of the elements in exchange for power, but there was no need to pray or not. Ritual is a powerful psychic profession that requires no materials, has a limited number of spells per day, and naturally restores the full number of psychic abilities per day. There are also professions such as dragon striker and dragon worshiper who can only be employed by the dragon race, pure white dancer and song moon priest who can only be employed by high elves.
But without exception, these occupations were buried and sunk into the sea forever along with their civilization and country.
When the elemental plane collapsed due to the suicide of elemental life, these countries that abused elemental power too much were also affected and impacted by the collapse of the plane because of their close connection with the elemental plane. Most of them were directly detonated, and all technologies that depended on elemental power for energy supply and circulation all failed. The people who followed the fire element lords survived a considerable number, but more than 80% of these survivors have become Demon follower, one of the most primitive cultists.
Facing the collapse of the world. There’s no point in being powerful on a mortal level. That continent, which was far more developed, prosperous, and more powerful than the northern kingdom, was swallowed by the abyss and sank to the bottom of the sea without any resistance.
Like a human being eaten by a shark. As these continents were dragged into the abyss, the sea, which was as beautiful as a blue gem, also leached a layer of dark red liquid, dyeing the sea a terrifying blood red from south to north.
Although it was mentioned in Duide’s inheritance that this was the so-called “Blood of Gaia” caused by the complete destruction of the continent, Roland finally understands now that this is only because this space partially overlaps with the dark red abyss , but the color of the abyss is projected onto the sea.
The original Fire Elemental Plane was just a round cake spread outside Faens, while the current Abyss is a slightly thicker spindle-shaped plane. The tip of one of its ends is like a nail embedded in the southernmost part of the Farnes world, penetrating the entire underground world, protruding from the sea, and opening an invisible giant jaw that runs through the heavens and the earth. This part of the abyss, which is higher than the sea surface, dyed the sky a permanent evening red, drenching the sea surface as if it were soaked with blood.
Because of this, Roland and Elucado went all the way north from the abyss. In the end, they did not enter the underground world, but directly entered the Sea of Wandering at the end.
This made Roland wary.
The biggest use of the underground world is to act as a buffer when the wall of Gaia breaks, so as not to let the power of dusk leak directly to the ground, polluting and destroying the wall of Aum, but to have a time to slowly infect the earth. , allowing the saints to repair the walls of Gaia in time.
But things are different now.
The Elemental Plane takes on strange shapes under the Balrog’s manipulation. He made one end of the abyss point to the outside world of Faens, and the other end went directly to the surface through the underground world. As the sea engulfed by the abyss in the south is getting bigger and bigger, the moment it comes into contact with Titan, it means that the devil can immediately teleport from the abyss to Titan without any delay and travel delay.
You know, the northern countries are now the last continent of Faens. Almost all countries are bordered by land, and as long as demons can set foot on Titan, it means they can set foot on other countries.
That would be a catastrophe. This is also the story of the original Lost Christmas.
The cultists summoned their god, the lost saint, Higgs to the ground, Higgs opened the way to the abyss in Farns in the heart of the continent, and demons burning with terrible flames gushed from the ruined world , destroy all they see with hatred and jealousy.
At that time, the river withered, the trees and grass withered. The earth cracked horribly, the power of dusk leaking from the abyss polluted the walls of Orm, the sun and the moon collapsed, and the wind and rain were out of tune.
Even though Sue Crow, Law Master, and Hand of Radiance forced the demon’s main army to be confined to the vicinity of Kalar, there were still some scattered demons who escaped the encirclement by means of earthwork or illusion.
Even the lowest demon worshipers are of the silver rank, and there are no demons below the gold rank. Although demons do not have the same flexible and varied origins as humans, their origins are based on races, but that does not prevent them from slaughtering civilians and destroying towns.
For a small town or village, without the help of strong enough players, they can easily be razed to the ground and burned to ashes. And the front-line players who are strong enough have almost all set foot on the front line ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The rear becomes extremely empty.
Although enchantment wizards can flexibly perform group teleportation, when they respond to a demon’s raid, it often means that the town or village is no longer saved.
At that time, the reconstruction of the New White Pagoda was only two years old. Because of the historical reasons of the gods, the saints were not widely believed and recognized by people. While there was a lack of leaders of sufficient prestige, two wars followed.
Otherwise, the main force of the battle would not be the players. The general level of players at that time was far lower than that of the Twilight Invasion. The average line was only silver and gold. The second batch of players had to form a team of five or six people to ensure that they could kill the single demon without downsizing. .
But now, not only did Roland connect the people of the world together in faith, preventing Queen Banza from going mad, but also ending the catastrophe that three million players had to overcome together.
Roland has no shortage of prestige. He doesn’t need to watch countless people die in the war he could have prevented, and then save the world by himself in exchange for people’s worship.
Compared to such a hypocritical and weak choice, Luo Lanning could choose to defeat the enemy by himself. Kill the source of disaster in its cradle.
That is not Roland’s personal heroism, but his duty and responsibility as a leader, as people’s idol and belief.
Speaking of responsibilities…
Looking at the land gradually emerging in the distance, Roland’s pupils gradually narrowed.
“Isn’t this Titan? This is”
Elucado’s voice became high, and his eyes glowed with excitement, but he was a little unsure.
“Don’t doubt yourself, Elucado. This really isn’t Titan.”
Roland said solemnly, “This is Elcatel.”
“Land of Blue Silver, Elcatel!” (To be continued.)
