Volume 1 Vanishing Lands Chapter 6
Santo Tomar Mountains
The Santomar Mountains are located in the northwest of the Red Fortress, the northern part of the Glacier Valley, connecting the Silent River and the Glacier Valley, and the headquarters of Blatter's Fourth Army is in the southwest of the Santo Tomar Mountains. There are a large number of rare minerals in the Santo Tomar Mountains, as well as the breath crystals that breathers value the most, breath crystals are natural products, and the crystals contain a large number of non-attribute breaths, if the breathers can have a piece of breath crystals, it is equivalent to having a qi bead that does not need to be stored and guided by the breath, because it is no attribute, so there is no rejection of all breaths, and breath crystals become the best guarantee for breathers to cultivate and fight. However, since the places where these crystals condense are located in the depths and summits of the Santo Tomar Mountains, the access to them is limited, and with the advent of Blatter, it is even more difficult to obtain them.
In addition to the crystallization of breath, the Santo Tomar Mountains also have a treasure - the Holy Grail of Eternity. Legend has it that during the Brest Dynasty, a very famous breather angered the patron saint of the mountains during the exploration of the Santo Tomar Mountains, so he fell here, and before he died, he sealed his breath and skills in the eternal chalice, and this breather was once the famous extreme breather on the continent, Red Storm. He is the only one who has successfully cultivated a single breath, so this treasure has become the target of many breathers, the power of a single breath is very huge, but ordinary people can't withstand the backlash brought by a single breath, so they firmly believe that if they can find the Eternal Holy Grail, they will be able to know how to cultivate a single breath.
Taylor and the chief priest of Kule entered the Santo Tomar Mountains from the Glacier Valley, and there was no trace of Blatter's extensive activity on the way, knowing that on the southwest side of the Ice Valley was the location of Blatter's Fourth Legion. Along the way, Taylor found a lot of interesting things, although Blatter and Red have been fighting, but I don't know why Blatter never crossed the glacier valley, because there was no trace of war along the way, and Red only did some normal fortifications, on the contrary, in the southeast of Red Fortress, Red used a lot of manpower and material resources to strengthen the defense of the fortress, and he came to Red Fortress from the southeast.
"Chief Priest Kule, I have a question. Taylor said to Chief Priest Kule. Culle nodded and motioned for him to continue. Taylor pointed to the other side of the glacial valley and asked, "From the map that the bishop showed us before, we know that the Fourth Army is on the other side, right? But why is the defense here so thin, and there is no sign of war along the way, but on the contrary, a large number of fortifications have been repaired to the southeast of the fortress." And the Fourth Army was obviously so close to the fortress, why didn't it cross the glacial river basin to attack the fortress. ”
Kule smiled, although he didn't like Taylor for being from Brett, but for Taylor's ability, Kule was very curious, and said, "Then I also want to ask you a question, can you answer it?"
Taylor was stunned, sure enough, the older he gets, the better he becomes, how can he not let himself suffer. But there was nothing to do, the concentration of his breath was not as strong as that of Kule, and if he really fought, he had no chance of winning at all, so he still followed him first, so he replied: "As long as I don't touch the secrets of the Brett church, I will inform the chief priest." ”
"Haha, you're refreshing, don't be nervous, I'm not such a stubborn old man, okay, let me tell you what you want to know, although the Fourth Legion of Blatter is on the opposite side of the Ice Valley, but they can't cross the Ice River Valley, the reason is simple, because of the cold. Kule replied with a smile.
"Cold? Blatter is afraid of cold?" Taylor was taken aback, he never knew that Blatter was afraid of cold, he had always thought that Blatter had a strong ability to adapt to the environment and could survive anywhere, but in this way, Blatter was not exactly as invulnerable as he looked.
"I don't know if this is the case with Blatter in Bret, but Blatter in the Fourth Legion in Brett is indeed afraid of the cold. Due to the very dry climate and the fact that we are located in the south of the Dazzel Desert, it can be very dry and cold in the cold season. The Ice Valley enters the Ice Age very early every year, and the Ice Break Period is very late, if the Fourth Legion wants to enter the fortress, they must enter from the upper reaches of the Ice River Basin, the Giant Gate Outpost, but once they enter the Red Fortress can not sweep us away in a short time, the remaining time is not enough for them to return to the Legion location. Kule explained.
Taylor thought for a moment and said, "So a large number of Blats want to enter the Forge Castle through the Silent River Domain, and then bypass the Dazzel Desert and enter the southeast of the fortress. ”
"We thought so before, so we carried out a lot of defenses to the southeast of the fortress, but in recent years, Blatter has been shrinking the defensive line and not fighting with us head-on, especially in the province of Galki, southeast of the Crucible Castle, Blatter has made a large amount of material reserves, which makes us feel suspicious, but we are not sure what their real intentions are. Kule said with a frown.
Taylor shook his head and replied, "If they aim to attack Fortress Red, then they do have a good basis for making all these deployments, but they have been shrinking their defenses and concentrating supplies, and it is unrealistic to say that they are going to cross the Mason Forest. ”
"Yes, although the Mason Forest is very close to the Crusher Castle, after all, the environment in the Crucible Volcano is too harsh, no matter how strong Blatt is, I don't think they can cross the crater with the entire legion. "We can't be sure of these things yet, we haven't been in the Crucible for hundreds of years, and when we get there, maybe everything will be answered." Okay, it's your turn to answer my question. ”
"Excuse me. Taylor said, looking at Kule.
"You're affiliated with the Sacrificial Church and you're a priest, aren't you?" asked Kule, a little impatient.
"yes, didn't you already know that?" Taylor was a little confused.
"Then why is your blue aura so strong, it's exactly like the amount of aura that a blue breather has. Kule continued.
"This, the dark blue of the sacrificial church that I belong to, it's normal for the blue aura to be thick. Taylor replied a little speechless.
"Deep blue? what is that?Is it a sacrifice that majors in blue?, but aren't most of the sacrifices blue?"
"How can I explain this to you?" Taylor was a little embarrassed, and although the classification of the sacrificial church told him that it didn't matter, he couldn't tell him more if he had to keep asking. He thought for a while and said, "Let's put it this way, most of the sacrifices of Red that I know are mainly multi-breath cultivation, supplemented by single-breath cultivation." ”
"That's right, aren't all sacrifices cultivated like this?" Kule asked rhetorically.
"There is nothing wrong with this cultivation method and it is correct, but it will be very difficult for such a sacrifice to comprehend the talent, and once the sacrifice comprehends the talent, it will be very helpful for future cultivation. Therefore, we divide the sacrifices with outstanding single breath into dark blue, crimson, Xuanming and holy light, and give full play to the outstanding advantages of a single breath, so that we can comprehend our talents as soon as possible. In addition to the learning of sacrificial skills, the sacrifices that enter these four places also have the cultivation of the breath skills to which their own breath belongs. Taylor said.
After hearing this, Kule said helplessly: "Although this can improve the ability of the sacrifice for a short time, it will break the balance of the sacrifice itself, and it will not be beneficial to the awakening in the future." ”
Taylor smiled bitterly: "You are right, once you cultivate like us, you will basically give up the awakening of the guardian in the future, but for the sake of your country, someone will always have to sacrifice, are you right?" Taylor did not tell him, in fact, the reason why the church did this is that there is a way to eliminate the sequelae of cultivation and reduce the difficulty of awakening in the future.
