Volume 1 Vanishing Ground Chapter 1
"Taylor, are you sure your map is real? We've been in Mason Forest for a month, and we still haven't found anything, and if we don't go back, Red's people will know that we've entered the southern lands without permission, and we'll be imprisoned and deprived of our breath. β
"Don't worry, Phoches, we'll find that place in no time, I know we're in a very dangerous situation, but for the sake of Queen Samon, we can only hold on. Taylor squinted at the endless forest ahead.
According to legend, when the Bresler Dynasty disintegrated, some thieves who cultivated the breath of darkness brought many precious books and magic weapons from the dynasty to the southern continent, but just as they were about to reach the southern Red Fortress, a forest appeared out of thin air, which is now the Maison Forest, they were trapped in the Mason Forest and lost supplies and food, and after holding on for three months, they finally disappeared in this forest, leaving a treasure map before they died, which recorded the burial place of the dynasty's relicsγ
"Stop, who are you!" Taylor and Phoches saw several men in magic robes not far away, the blue robes represented the Red tribe, the black runes on the chest of the robes symbolizing the dark power and the magic beads in their hands showed that they were not ordinary Red people, in the Red tribe, only sacrificial level people were qualified to hold magic beads.
"Damn, it's the Red Sacrifice, that's a problem. Taylor whispered to Foxes, "Do what you want." β
"You don't look like locals, if you don't show your intentions, we're going to carry out the ritual!" The leading man began to pick up the orb in his hand to condense his breath, ready to attack at any time.
"Honorable Raider, we are members of the royal family of Brett, and we have come to discuss important matters with the patriarch of the Raid tribe in accordance with the secret order of our sacrifice. Taylor stepped forward and pulled out a document.
The man in the lead picked up the document and saw that it had the bright breath seal of the Brett Sacrifice Courtyard on it, so he gave the order to the people behind him to retreat. The document was then returned to Taylor.
"It doesn't look like you're dressed and smelled like Blat's disguise, but we still can't trust you, and of course we won't do you any harm, after all, this is a special time. The man in the lead took off his hat as he spoke, and Taylor looked at the man and saw that it was an old man with piercing eyes, gray hair, pale temples, and a slender beard. The old man looked into Taylor's eyes, and then said, "I am the chief priest of Red, I will lead you to our patriarch, and before proving your intentions, I must temporarily seal your breath, this is also for the sake of safety and tribal friendship, can you accept it?"
"We can understand, please get started. Taylor and Forcheth lowered their weapons and walked up to the High Priest, followed by the five blue-robed priests behind him and began the ritual. The High Priest and the five blue-robed priests took out the orbs with one hand, and the six orbs exuded a pure white aura, and then connected to each other to form a circle that enveloped the two of them inside, and after a few seconds, Taylor and Phoches could not feel the aura of themselves and the sacrifice. When the ceremony was complete, the High Priest smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand to tell them that they were ready to go.
In the two tribes of Red and Brett, there are two special professions of priests and meditators, and the breath of these two professions does not have any single color, such as Red's main breath The dark breath is black, and the light breath of Brett is white. The breath of the sacrificial and meditator is multi-colored. After everyone on the Tremian continent is born, they will have a breath cultivation, which is about a month after birth. These babies will be taken to the local sacrificial church for breath identification, if there is no color, it means that the person is not suitable for cultivating the breath, if it is black, it is the main dark breath, and white is the light breath. Of course, there will be exceptions, that is, if you have four basic breaths, that is, the four basic breaths, black-dark breath, white-light breath, blue-water breath, and red-fire breath, then you can directly enter the sacrificial church, become a sacrifice, and condense the colored breath from the moment of confirmation. Of course, it is very difficult to become a qualified sacrifice, because everyone will have their own major breath and corresponding breath magic, but the sacrifice does not, when you master the ritual, you can be counted as a qualified sacrifice, everyone's method of mastering the ritual is not the same, there may be some people who only need a few months to find their own ritual cultivation method, and some people can't master it for a lifetime. Only after mastering the ritual can the priest learn the magic that is relatively in line with his own breath.
Another meditator basically does not appear in ordinary people, this one is generally a member of the royal family, the breath of the meditator has no color, it can also be said that they have no breath, but they can create and copy the breath, in addition, they have the same ability as the sacrifice, perform rituals. This ritual is to deprive the breath, once a person's breath is deprived, not only the disappearance of the breath, the ritual has a strong chain effect, in the deprivation of the breath will also deprive the vitality, just like a pool of blood 1,500 years ago. For this reason, many people refer to them as the Scarlet Breathers. Compared with sacrifices, the main ability of meditators is not the cultivation of breath, but the control of time and space, meditators themselves do not have the ability to use breath, but they have the ability that all breath owners do not have - the ability to tear time and space, what they use to defend and fight is not their own power, but through the tearing of time and space to copy and seize the breath, at the same time, they can also create the breath of all breathers in space. The Meditator can be said to be a nightmare for all breathers, but because the Meditator is a very difficult kind of person to appear, no one except the royal family knows how the Meditator cultivates, let alone meet them.
For the cultivation of breath, Red and Brett are the same, after the breath is cultivated to a certain extent, you need to go to the sacrificial church to carry out the assessment of the breath upgrade, mainly the control of the breath and the assessment of skills, the assessment of each breath is very strict, and after you pass the assessment, you will get the mark of the breath given by the sacrificial church, and the color of the mark is from light to dark. This kind of mark has no substantive significance, just to prove the concentration of your breath, the higher the concentration of breath, the more powerful the breath skill you can use, through the cultivation of the breath, you can increase your ability to withstand the breath, the higher the breath bearing capacity, the more breath you can absorb, the more advantageous it is to face the enemy.
Each breath also uses this different effect, the blue breath is mainly for recovery, people with blue breath will have strong recovery and healing abilities, and the blue breath is relatively mild and can neutralize other breaths well. The white breath is mainly defensive, and the white breath is the closest to the original breath, with a strong defensive ability, but also has the transformation ability that other breaths do not have, and can transform their own breath into the defense of allies by giving them a strong defensive blessing. Red breath has this powerful attack ability, most of this kind of breath cultivators are mainly cultivating skills, integrating their powerful breath into skills to strengthen the ability of skills, the number of red breath cultivators is the largest, from the royal family to the army There are a large number of red breathers, black breath belongs to a mutated breath, mainly Red, black breath has a strong survivability, black breathers can adapt to various environments, and instantly enhance themselves by weakening and imprisoning the enemy's breath.
Each breather will have their own major breath, basically every cultivator will have two kinds of breath, of course, the proportion of breath determines the direction of breath cultivation, there are more extreme cultivators, and there are more neutral cultivators, which all require the cultivator's own choice. Usually a single breath cultivator rarely appears, because with the assistance of other breaths, the cultivation and control of the breath can be more smooth, so the cultivation of a single breath is very difficult, but it is not nothing, there was an extreme breath during the Brest Dynasty, and his breath did not have a trace of other colors. How he balances his aura and cultivates is only known to him.
Phooches looked at the six priests walking in front of them, turned his head to look at Taylor, and asked in the secret language of the tribe, "Taylor, what's the matter with that document, when did the High Priest give us this?"
The corners of Taylor's mouth curled slightly: "There are many things you don't know, and Her Majesty the Queen doesn't know about this document of the High Priest, the order that the Queen gave us is to find the treasure, but compared to the treasure, this task is more important." β
"What is the high priest's assignment?"
"You'll find out later, anyway, our purpose is to walk through the Lost Forest, and if it weren't for their guidance, I think we'd be buried in the Lost Forest like those two Guardians. Taylor watched carefully at the scene around him, silently remembering where he had walked.
"Young man, although I don't know what you're talking about, but don't waste your mind trying to remember the location, every tree in the Lost Forest moves from time to time, and if you follow the path we came from, I think you'll soon be buried here, trying to get out of the Lost Forest, no one can survive here except in the specific ways of our tribe, let alone go out, of course. The old man in the lead put his hat up and looked at Taylor and Phoches, if it weren't for the lack of breath for these two people now, maybe he would have killed them, but once they were killed, it would be difficult for the royal family to give an account, and now it would have to be left to the patriarch to decide.
