Chapter 15: The Dark Isle-1
Light is always with darkness.
Eternal light must be accompanied by eternal darkness.
Even in the kingdom of heaven, which has been bathed in light for more than 11,000 years since the X Age, there is a place of darkness for 10,000 yearsβthe Dark Island, located in the vast ocean of light and darkness of the kingdom of heaven, an island shrouded in darkness.
Unlike the rest of the kingdom of heaven, where there is light everywhere, the Dark Isle is shrouded in "night", and the closer you get to the island, the dimmer the light becomes, and once you set foot on the island, it is like being in the night.
Standing on the Dark Island, looking up at the sky, the sky above the Dark Island is a night sky. Except for the night sky above the Dark Isle, which is "black", the sky around the Dark Isle is a bright and boundless sky.
Day and night, day and night, light and darkness coexist.
Looking at the Dark Island from the outside of the Dark Isle, I only feel that this is a magical and strange phenomenon.
The Dark Isle is not only an island shrouded in darkness, but also a snow-capped island. On the island, there is snow everywhere. In addition to the snow, it is an endless stream of snow-capped mountains. The whole Isle of Darkness is an Iceland.
Holy Square, the same day that the light source Holy Messenger Alice appeared, on the Dark Isle.
The Isle of Darkness is a heavily guarded area, with men dressed in yellow and dressed like soldiers patrolling the edges of the Isle of Darkness.
I saw ten small yellow dots moving on the northern edge of the Dark Isle. It's a pair of patrolling soldiers. The patrol soldiers were in a team of ten, and judging by their size, two of the ten were women.
Even in the ice and snow, the soldiers wore a set of yellow linen clothes and a pair of black boots, but the soldiers did not feel cold at all. The weapons on the soldiers' bodies were only a dark green thick stick more than one meter long, which was as dark green as jade and as hard as iron. Some people hold the stick directly in their hands, and some people put the stick diagonally through the belt around their waist and carry it diagonally on their backs.
At this time, the group of soldiers seemed to be resting. The edge of their patrol should be the beach of the Dark Isle, but there is no sand to be seen on the beach at all, and the snow has accumulated for many years, and the beach has become frozen soil, and even has frozen into a thick layer of ice.
A young man stands on the edge of a snow-covered island, beyond which the waves of the sea crash against the frozen ice from time to time.
The young man stretched out a hand, and where he stretched out, the bright sunlight shone on his arm, while his body was shrouded in darkness.
"Hey, all right! You don't want to play this game anymore, every time you stop, you play this game, don't you get bored? Not far away, an elderly soldier shouted at the young man. The crowd burst into laughter.
"Captain, don't rush him, let him feel the warm sunshine again."
"Venus, this is the 8,796th time you've reached out."
"Three years are almost over, and within three years, we will see if you reach out more than 10,000 times."
"Venus, is the sun still so warm?"
"Come back, Venus, we're going to keep patrolling."
The other soldiers seemed to be accustomed to the actions of the young soldier called Venus, and seemed to tease and mock Venus, having established the fun of boring patrols.
The young man ignored the shouting of the crowd behind him, he had one hand outstretched, he simply turned to face the sea, and stretched out both arms, this was a young and vivid face, he closed his eyes tightly, as if he was feeling the warm sunlight with both hands.
Seeing that the young soldiers on the shore had no intention of returning, the other soldiers did not seem to be in a hurry, but also began to chat.
"I heard that the Holy Messenger of the Light Source will appear today, but unfortunately we are on patrol and can't see it."
"Anyway, the patrol is almost over, and you can see it when you go back to the camp."
"The appearance of the Holy Messenger of the Light Source means that the dark era is coming, I heard that every time the dark age comes, in order to find the light source, there will be disputes between the gods, and war will come."
"What's so terrible about fighting, it's the cold that's terrible."
"What's so terrible about the cold, our Jin people are not afraid of the cold, the demons stationed on the Dark Island, ninety-nine out of a hundred people are Jin people, not even slaves, it's too cold here, human slaves were frozen to death not long after they came, so that the kitchen laundry work has to be done by the Jin people themselves!"
"The Jin people are stationed on the Dark Island, where slaves are easy to freeze to death, so we can let the Mu people cook for us. The food made by the Mu people is really delicious. β
"When the Mu people came, they must be shivering with cold."
"Hire a wood chef, it costs a lot, you have a sweet dream, most of the wood clan in the demon clan is in the palace of the god clan."
"Why don't you send other people to garrison the Isle of Darkness? No matter how cold the Dark Island is, the demons will not freeze to death. β
"For generations, the Jin people have been stationed on the Dark Island with the Jin people as the main force, not only because the Jin people are not afraid of the cold by nature, but also because the Jin people are extremely loyal to the God Clan, which is also the glory of the Jin Clan!"
The older man seemed impatient, and he walked quickly to the young man on the shore, walked up behind him, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him away. Seeing this, everyone laughed again. A group of people began to walk forward one after the other, patrolling forward.
In the middle of a snow-capped mountain, there is a huge lake, with stone pillars one after another, surrounding the lake. Each stone pillar is about 10 meters high, and the stone pillar is thick, and it can only be hugged by one person. The distance between the stone pillars is about 100 meters, and the top of the stone pillars is burning with a huge fire, and each stone pillar is like a torch. Even in the darkness of the night, stone pillars surround the entire lake, making this lake land surrounded by snow-capped mountains as bright as day.
It is a huge lake, and the strange thing is that in the perennially cold dark island, even the snow-capped mountains have formed icebergs, and the water of the lake has not frozen. Under the illumination of the stone pillar torches, it can be clearly seen that the lake water is black, and the calm lake water is only blown by the cold wind.
The valley where the lake is located is obviously a very important place.
Next to each pillar stood two soldiers dressed in yellow. A soldier stood facing the lake with his back to a stone pillar, seemingly guarding the lake, fearing that something would emerge from the water. A soldier stood facing the snow-capped mountain with his back against a stone pillar, as if wary of anyone emerging from the mountain. There are two soldiers standing guard on each stone pillar, and there are more than 2,000 stone pillars on the entire lake, and about 5,000 soldiers are standing guard.
Next to a stone pillar, two soldiers were chatting to pass the time.
"Every day I guard a lake, look at the mountains, and no one comes in for a year." Said the soldier facing the mountains. This soldier is very young, he looks like he is ten years old, and his face is round.
"You're not guarding the lake. We are guarding King Joy, the king of the Midalon of the Dark Clan, who is as powerful as Emperor Eric. The soldiers guarding the lake seemed to correct his words. The soldier guarding the lake was about thirty years old, with a square face and a full beard.
The round-faced soldier glanced back at the black lake glowing with black light, and said disdainfully, "No matter how powerful it is, it's not frozen at the bottom of the dark lake." β
"Shh The bearded man hurriedly shushed and lowered his voice, as if he was a little worried, "You be quiet, I heard that King Joy can hear us talking, and even our footsteps, he can hear it." β
"When he heard it, he couldn't come up." The round-faced soldier became more and more disdainful, "It's been frozen for more than 5,000 years, what's there to worry about." β
The bearded man didn't seem to want to discuss King Joy's matter anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "I heard that the Holy Messenger of the Light Source will appear in the Holy Square today. β
"We can't see it when we stand guard, so we can only wait until we get back to the camp and go to the magic mirror to see what the Holy Emissary of the Light Source looks like." The round-faced soldier also seemed a little excited, "I don't know if the Light Source Holy Messenger is male or female." β
