Lord of War - v4 Chapter 242

  The plane of miracle, in the hundreds of thousands of years since the dawn of dawn, after experiencing the twilight age, the ashes age, the chaos age, and the age of order, it finally came to the current era of the strong. In these many historical periods, the Plane of Miracles has also successively built six holy sites.

  The two holy places built in the dawn of dawn are Birsrod and Asgard.

  The former is called the world wall of dawn. It is the first world wall constructed for this plane by the gods rising from the kingdom of gods to resist the erosion and attack of the void storm. The latter is called the Golden Palace of the Gods, and it was once a temple built by the gods for their **** servants in the dawn of dawn.

   These two are obviously more in line with the meaning of “holy land” than the four holy places established in later generations. Especially the golden palace of the gods. Asgard, this holy land destroyed in the evening battle of the gods, was once the place of faith in the hearts of the gods and the people.

  After that, when the plane of miracle entered the twilight age, the gods built Saint Afar and Valhalla in accordance with the instructions of the gods. In contrast to Birsrod and Asgard, which were created by the gods, they are called the Great Church of the Twilight. Saint Afar and the last Hall of Valor. Valhalla was not built by the gods, but because The people of God were built according to the will of the gods, so these two holy places also have their unique sacredness.

  It is reported that in the twilight era, the friction between the gods and the people has become more and more serious. At that time, wars of the fall of gods and heroes have begun. Therefore, the construction of Valhalla once strengthened the belief in the hearts of gods and people. All the gods and people believe that if they live according to the will of the gods, as long as they do not violate the orders of the gods, then they can enter Valhalla after death, continue to survive in another way, and even be promoted to Servant, enter Asgard.

  The reason why believers of the gods believe that they can enter the kingdom of God after death and become servants is actually because of the existence of Valhalla in the past. Although this special existence called the “Last Hall of Heroes” was later destroyed in the Twilight of the Gods, its divinity and inherited meaning also caused the gods to introduce this “heroic spirit” into their kingdom. Mode, so that their believers can enter the kingdom of God after death and continue to serve themselves.

  Compared with the value of the last Valhalla and the influence it had on the gods, the Great Sanctuary at dusk, St. Afar, seemed a bit tasteless. This holy place was originally called the Great Sanctuary, and it was the only legal place for the gods to come and communicate with the people. In fact, before the contradiction between the gods and the peoples was completely intensified, the gods did try to make the peoples. The return of faith.

  It’s just a pity that this plan ended in failure.

  Later when the gods erupted at dusk, Saint Afar of the Great Temple became the first victim. However, in view of its sacredness, and the first destroyed holy place in the history of the Plane of Miracles, and it happened in the twilight era, it is called the Great Sanctuary of Twilight.

After   , when the age has entered the age of ashes, the earth is devastated and the world plunges into darkness.

  Humans, elves, dwarves, all kinds of races, in order to be able to live in this world, they finally worked together to build two new shelters.

   is the utopia known as the “worldly ideal hometown” and the “fairy sanctuary” Avalon.

  The former was where humans hid at the time, while the latter naturally gathered all the elves on the entire continent at that time. However, there is a slight subtlety that, whether it is Utopia or Avalon, there were quite a few dwarves who also joined the construction at that time, but when these two holy sites were finally completed, humans and elves were able to avoid being the darkest in the early days of the Ashes. When the difficult times were obliterated, the dwarves did not appear in these two holy places.

  There are many rumors about this part. Some say that the dwarves hide underground after the construction is completed, and some say that the dwarves are driven away by humans and elves after the construction is completed, and they are not allowed to enter. Although there are many rumors, in the game at that time, many players actually favored the second point of view, and even derived a genre: that is, Utopia and Avalon would disappear and disappear to a large extent. Because of retribution.

  It is humans and elves who have abandoned the dwarves and violated the retribution suffered by the content of the contract.

  But no one knows the truth.

  The only thing Sean knows is that after their Void Wings opened Utopia, there were no new tasks or troubles. He only knows that Utopia can be called the “ideal land of the earth” for no reason, and it is not without reason that it can be called one of the six holy places.

  If there is a place in this world where the sacredness condensed is comparable to the kingdom of God, or even the kingdom of God that surpasses the current gods, then it must be the six holy places. Except for the first four holy places that have been completely solidified into the barriers of the world on this plane, Asgard, Saint Afar, and Valhalla have been destroyed in the battle of the gods at dusk. Although Avalon Like utopia, it is only cursed and sleepless, but the way to open this goblin sanctuary is not easy, and it can even be said to be more difficult than utopia.

  In addition, Sean is not familiar with Avalon, so he naturally never wanted to open this place.

  Since he came into this world and made a determination to let the wings of the void fly again, his goal has always been utopia.

  Now, when Utopia finally revived and appeared before Sean’s eyes, the excitement in his heart was naturally beyond words.

  No one can understand Sean’s mood at this time.

  It is a kind of faith that has persisted for a long time, a kind of turbulent feeling that has been pursued for a long time and finally realized.

  A group of four people soon came to this holy place.

  The Holy Land Utopia is a giant city built on the hillside.

  As a refuge for human beings in the Ash Age, this land can accommodate a population of close to three million people and covers an area of ​​more than 1,500 square kilometers. It is the largest known territory in the Marvel Continent today. Although nearly one-third of the area is hollowed out and constructed by hollowing out the mountainside, the entire utopia actually has a very complete circulation system: including grain farming, water circulation, and so on.

Of course, the area of ​​the sanctuary of this refuge does not just refer to the towering city wall that is present in front of Sean and others at this moment, but refers to the entire land including the forest of sighs, which belongs to utopia. area.

  Only about 500,000 people can really live in the holy city. The other two million people are actually scattered across the entire land—according to the background information recorded by the game’s official Utopia, in addition to the holy city, there are actually ten surrounding areas. Two towns.

  The giant city wall that was fifty meters high was built along the direction of the mountain.

The construction materials of these walls are obviously some kind of stone that may not be mined now. Although the years have left indelible traces of history on these walls, the walls did not bring anything to Sean and Rena. The impression of dilapidation, on the contrary, this city wall is stronger than any wall that Sean has seen, and it is obviously a stone building, but when the weapon hits it, there is a muffled sound of metal impact.

  The city wall stretches for hundreds of meters, starting and ending at the mouth of the valley on both sides.

  Utopian cities are built on a valley, and the city gate is right in the middle of the valley. In the game, a player who was too busy to test that time, the two sections of the east and west walls were exactly 750 meters symmetrical, which means that the length of this section of the city wall was 1,500 meters.

  According to the standard of setting up a shift of soldiers on duty every 50 meters for the wall patrol, this section of the wall requires a total of 30 shifts of manpower, that is, at least 600 soldiers on duty for each round of the wall. If you count the number of commanders, maneuvering teams, and reserve forces, then it’s the size of a thousand people.

  Only a section of the city wall requires a thousand soldiers on duty.

  Fortunately, there is only one wall in the main Utopia city. The east and west sides are steep mountain walls. It is extremely difficult to climb into the city. On the north side, there is the hollowed out mountain belly. Although there is a mountain range bordering the back, it is a loophole in the main Utopian city, but in fact it is not easy to climb the mountain from the north to enter the Utopian main city. matter.

  Because the climbing point of this mountain range happens to be in the Canyon of Warcraft.

  At this time, Xiao En and others have all arrived under the city wall, and they all raised their heads to look up at the huge city gate nearly twenty meters high.

   “We… how do we get in?” Hitley asked.

  Even if this city gate is just a casual glance, you can know that the weight of the city gate is definitely not light, I am afraid that if you want to open it with human power, it is by no means an easy task. Even Hitley and others are speculating that the city gate is probably also a large-scale magic power machine, and the opening of the city gate must be opened by the transmission of the wheel of the magic power machine, just like a steam gear. The gates are opened in the same way.

   “Fly?” Rina asked tentatively.

The height of fifty meters may be very difficult for the strong in the golden realm, but for the strong in the sanctuary realm, it is nothing. They only need one or two borrowings to easily climb. Up the city wall. As far as legends and even super powers are concerned, there is no problem. With the ability to stay in the air and the ability to fly, they can easily cross the city wall and enter the city.

  And a dragon knight like Rena naturally has a more convenient way.

  Black Stone, now it is a real flying dragon. Perhaps as long as it evolves once or twice, it will be able to become a real black dragon, which might become the third real dragon on the Marvel Continent—if the dragon hiding in the dark tide forest did not exist. If it was slaughtered by Bass.

“It’s useless.” Sean shook his head. “On this land, several large magic circles are permanently immortalized, one of which is the no-fly zone. If your black stone becomes a real dragon, then maybe there is It may be possible to obtain a short-term suspension capability, but it is impossible to fly like in other places. Not to mention us people…Here, we can only be about 30 meters above the ground at most.”

  Utopia, there is no reason for flying without birds.

  When it was chaotic black soil, this was the forbidden zone of life. And even after being purified, there is still no possibility of flying on this land, even if it is just a non-aggressive ornamental bird, it is impossible to fly on this land.

  No one in the room would doubt what Shaun said.

   “Then how do we get in?” Xuefanio said, “This door…it is not easy to open at first glance. Do you have the key?”

  Shaun gave Xuefanio a white look: “When have you seen the city gate opened by a key?”

   “Then how to get in?” Xuefanio frowned.

  Sean’s brows also frowned.

  In the game, with the success of the first phase of the mission, after the opening of Paradise Lost, players of Void Wings will automatically enter the dungeon of Paradise Lost as long as they approach the city. Later, when they completely finished the Raid of Lost Paradise dungeon, they also appeared in the central square of the city. The gate of Utopia had already been opened, so Sean was really at a loss as to how to open the gate of this city. .

   “It seems that the old way can only be used.”

   sighed lightly, Xiao En stepped back a few steps, and then ran quickly. As he approached the city wall, he suddenly jumped, and his figure rose to the ground. This time, Sean did not use the power of the law in his body to give him the ability to float, but even so, Sean felt a sudden heaviness from his body, as if some power was preventing him from continuing to climb. .

  And the strength of this obstruction became especially obvious when it reached 20 meters, and Xiao En even felt that he was directly affected by dozens of times of gravity. At this time, he finally couldn’t help but stretched his foot and tapped lightly on the wall, trying to take advantage of his strength to jump again, but what made him feel subtle was that at the moment when his right foot was on the wall, that The huge gravity exerted on him completely disappeared, which made Xiao En’s spirit uncontrollably refreshed.

But when he took advantage of the force and jumped again, the gravity instantly returned to him, and as his height continued to rise, the power of gravity was obviously still being superimposed, even if it was Sean’s current power multiples. The strength of the body, when it reached 40 meters, the bones in the body also heard a squeezing crackle, which obviously had reached the limit of the body.

  This discovery made Sean’s heart startled: the reality is far more complicated and troublesome than in the original game.

  However, his reaction was extremely fast. As soon as he noticed that his body was not right, he touched his legs on the city wall, using this method to eliminate the gravity blessed on him. The facts have proved that this method of judgment by Xiao En is indeed effective. Although this climbing method will undoubtedly increase his physical exertion, and only the strong above the legend can easily use this technique, but anyway, Xiao En still quickly climbed onto the wall.

  After entering Utopia, everything here, for Sean, it feels like returning home.

  Walking along the stairs of the city wall to the city gate, Sean gently raised the rocker, and with the sound of gears turning, the entire city gate was quickly opened.

   Hitley, Xuefanio, and Rena filed in.

  Utopia’s main city, about two-thirds of the area was built in the valley, and the remaining one-third was in the mountain. Compared with the beauty of Avalon, Utopia’s architectural style is obviously much simpler. Basically, it is based on durability and sturdiness as the first consideration. Moreover, the division of street areas is also very detailed and concise, giving people a kind of overall Atmospheric and simple impression view.

  Probably because when this city was built, the whole world was in darkness, then human beings must work together in order to survive, and no one complained about anything. Because of this, there are no such concepts as commercial streets and shops in the utopia of the society. All houses are personal residences. Although the class system still exists, the class system of the society is different from the current class situation. .

In the Utopia period of the Ash Age, only the wise and sages can be regarded as the real upper class. They can avoid all labor and live in larger and more luxurious houses, just like the so-called aristocratic class today. Same.

  In the valley, most of the dwellings are still at the level of ordinary people, and there are few more luxurious houses. However, as you get closer to the side of the mountain, it is easier to see some larger houses, and even some single-family buildings similar to a manor.

  Under the leadership of Xiao En, everyone quickly passed through the street, entered the belly of the mountain, and then came to a room in the basement.

During the whole process, Sean didn’t pause at all. After all, he was very familiar with the city. Even with his eyes closed, he knew where his destination was, so naturally there would be no waste of time when he acted. move.

  It’s just this action that fell into the eyes of Xuefanio and Hitley, and it seemed weird.

  Because according to normal circumstances, an unfamiliar place must be explored first. But Sean’s actions clearly indicated that he was not here for the first time. The only one who didn’t have any doubts about Sean’s actions was Rena.

  ”Isn’t it your first time here?” Finally, Hitley couldn’t hold back.

   “You may not believe it.” Sean thought for a while, and then said, “In my dream, I have been here many times.”

   “Dream?” Xuefanio glanced at Sean.

“En.” Sean nodded, his tone full of sorrow, “I once had a dream. In that dream, I had many, many companions. We took risks and fights together. We cried and laughed together. Face the difficulties together, and then use the weapons in our hands to smash these difficulties and troubles…. In that dream, I am not a lord, nor an emperor or king. I am just… the captain of a mercenary group. .”

   “It’s really a talent.” Xuefanio said, “If you can only be the leader of a mercenary group, then I am afraid that no one in this world dares to be your leader.”

   is still there. ——Sean said silently in his heart.

  However, at this time, he did not answer this question.

  He just stood in this room similar to an altar, and then lifted up several small stone pillars that had fallen down on the altar one by one, and then placed them in the altar.

  Each of these small stone pillars is only half a meter long and looks like a piece of stone sticks, but the colors are different.

  As Xiao En put the five stone pillars into the altar one by one, the altar also lit up in five different colors at the same time. Hitley, Xuefanio, and Rena who entered this altar with Sean didn’t know that when the altar lit up a color, the whole utopia also emitted a color. And when the five colors shone one by one, the whole utopia instantly felt completely different.

  A holy sacred breath has begun to diffuse throughout the Utopia.

  That is an awe-inspiring atmosphere that cannot be profaned.

  Sean looked up at the soft white light emitting from the altar. He closed his eyes and looked reverent.

“Chairman Yun Lan, I have already won the Utopia.” Xiao En’s heart was silently praying, “This time, I promise that no one will ruin the Utopia. The wings of the void will always be here. Spread our wings and soar… I will definitely make our wings of the void the most dazzling flag in the world. I will also make this pair of wings the pride and belief of the people of the void empire.”

  Although I don’t know what Sean is doing, this scene is indeed the first time Hitley, Xuefanio, and Rena have seen Sean show such a pious appearance. Therefore, they did not interrupt Sean’s prayers, but quietly watched his actions.

And when Sean finished praying and opened his eyes again, his eyes became firm and awe-inspiring: “Let’s go…. Our guests will come soon, and everything is as we planned before. Do it like that.”

“With our strength, can we really deal with Rick?” Xuefanio frowned, “Listening to Lord Ulamog, his strength should be… able to keep pace with them. And we… “

Before Xuefanio finished speaking, Sean interrupted: “We must not be able to beat Lake in other places. But here, there is absolutely no problem. Because this place is called “the ideal land of the world”. Utopia is a sacred site created in the Ash Age. It is full of unparalleled sacredness. As long as Rek dares to step into this place, his strength will inevitably be weakened. This is our only advantage.”

  ”Then how are you sure that Rick will enter this unfavorable place for him?” It was Hitley who asked.

“Because, when I planted the fire of order, the light of order that soared into the sky was actually equivalent to the war book I gave him.” Shaun said in a deep voice, “as proud of the Lich King. For the existence of, I directly gave him the war book, and he will never ignore it. Because his pride does not allow him to ignore it, even if there is something unfavorable for him, he will intrude….Of course. Although his strength has been weakened to a certain extent, his experience is still there, and the magic that he masters is not less, so we still can’t take it lightly.”

“But at least, in such a situation, we have the power to fight a battle!” Rina said, as always very excited, “As long as we have the opportunity and we have so many people, we are not afraid that we can’t beat him. . Rather, what we should worry about is what should we do if he can’t beat us and run away.”

“Then we have to do our best to prevent the opponent from running away.” Sean chuckled, but the laughter didn’t have much relaxed tone. “This belongs to our home court, and we have more people than the opponent, so On the whole, we are still relatively advantageous…. The most important thing is that now that the war has broken out in an all-round way, we don’t have time to hesitate anymore. This war started as early as a month ago.”

   “We will do our best.” Xuefanio nodded, “So… when will Rek come over?”

   “He… has come.” Xiao En was about to answer, but his face changed slightly, and he immediately said, “Just outside… the city gate.”
