Chapter 5: The Witch
The imperial capital of Stirral is located in the very center of the Central Territory, as well as in the heart of the continent of Ephesola.
Unlike the rest of the Four Directions Realm, the distribution of heaven and earth source energy in the Central Realm is very balanced, and no one source energy is far superior to the others.
Similar to the eastern boundary, the current situation that the source energy of the water system is far ahead does not exist in the central boundary.
Compared with the situation where a certain type of source energy in the four realms is too prominent, the central realm also has its own characteristics, that is, the amount of light and dark source energy reserves in this realm is the highest.
Although the distribution of heaven and earth source energy is balanced, this does not mean that the strength of the powerhouses born in the central realm will be lower than that of the other four realms.
This equilibrium is compared with the central boundaries themselves. If compared to the rest of the Four Directions Realm, then the intensity of the Heaven and Earth Source Energy of the various systems in the Central Realm was comparable to that of the other Four Directions.
In other words, that's the difference between a specialist and a generalist.
The source energy of the water system far exceeds that of the rest of the systems, so among the strong people born in the Eastern Earth Realm, the number of water powerhouses accounts for the vast majority.
Occupying the advantage of geographical advantage, the strength of the strong people of the water genus is much stronger than most of the cultivators who specialize in other belongings, which is more uncomfortable for the cultivators of other belongings, especially those who belong to Xiangchong.
The races living in the central realm have no such concerns.
With a balanced distribution of the source energy of each system, coupled with an environment with a intensity comparable to that of the rest of the four realms, the powerhouses born from the central realm far surpassed the other four realms in terms of quantity and quality.
Some scholars have done research and come to an astonishing conclusion that if there is an arms race or even a war between the five regions on the continent, then the strength of the central territory on the surface is enough to deal with the conquest of both regions at the same time.
This result also indirectly reflects the staggering abundance of resources possessed by the central territory.
The battle between the Earth Realm and the Earth Realm is not so easy to start again, due to the war of gods and demons caused by the era of the Hundred Races Controversy nearly 10,000 years ago, the races existing in the Ephesola Continent are not confident enough to survive in that era again.
There is a price to be paid for starting a war, especially at the expense of race, and the Book of Ephesola hangs like the sword of Dacmoris over the heads of all races.
Outside the east gate of Stillar, a team approached from a distance. This team has about two hundred people, and they are the team that came from the Eastern Realm this time to the Imperial Capital to carry out the rank awakening ceremony.
The entire team is divided into four echelons. There are only three people in the first echelon, but these three people walk with the feeling that it is difficult to defeat thousands of troops, and this feeling is not wrong.
From left to right, the three members of the first echelon are all from the Ellora Council, and three of the top thirteen seats are seated: Bashahr Rasvu, the ruler of the Frost Dragons, known as the Berserker, Beamon Totem Als Zara, known as the Sage, and Raphli Sir, the Mermaid Empress, known as the Mage.
It's just that at this moment, the three giants of the Ellora Council, who have all kinds of top powers, all show a headache and helpless expression, and look at the last echelon of the team from time to time.
What's even more surprising is that the inner geniuses of the second echelon of the entire team, and the cultivators in the third echelon who have obtained the qualification in the Eastern Spirit Festival, also look at the fourth echelon behind them from time to time, including the people of Radir in the depths, and they are indescribably weird.
There are only two personnel in the fourth echelon, one male and one female.
If there was only that one male, then most of the Drafters in the team would not have given a second glance at the fourth echelon. The person who walked side by side with this man was the "culprit" who caused all this.
Berserkers, sages, and mages had their headaches because of the woman's waywardness.
The delicate face of the seductive beings is matched with the long purple hair of the bewitching beings, and the mature body exudes an aura that is very tempting to men, if the mermaid queen is the water hibiscus, then the woman who stays in the fourth ladder is the purple lotus of the world.
The witch revered as the Soul Walker, Litina Magic Night, who also belongs to one of the thirteen seats of Elora.
And the most headache in the whole team is our main master, Si Lang and Fang Ke, who are also in the fourth echelon.
As the party first set off, Slang approached El's party, who were one of the few friends in the Kurgs.
For Slang and Fangji, who live in the Eastern Realm all year round, going to the Central Realm is a new manifestation. In the case of unfamiliar life, it is naturally best to have a partner by your side.
Slang was still very curious about how to get to the Central Realm. Even if the algorithm artist casts the trajectory of emptiness, it is impossible to teleport more than 200 people directly from the Eastern Realm to the Central Realm.
It's not that the mage is not worthy of his name, but because the five realms are not only separated from each other by all kinds of dangerous places, but also because of the relationship between distance and number of people, there is a big difference between single and multi-person teleportation at the same distance.
If he only teleported by himself, it was estimated that it would not take long for the mage to teleport from the Eastern Realm to the Central Realm, and he would not even need to use a high-level spell such as the Void Trail, and the consumption of spells at this level was not low.
Although the trajectory of the sky is rated as an eleventh-order strategic spell, it cannot ignore the law of "many people and short distances".
This spell was originally created to be a strategic teleport in response to war, but it was for surprise attacks, so the teleportation was not too far away.
Teleporting distances that are too far away will deplete the user's mana exponentially. Even if you are already a ruler, the level of energy used is much higher than that of the source energy, but it is also unrealistic to support such a long-distance multi-person teleportation.
As one of the leaders and guardians of this time, the Mermaid Empress's mana obviously cannot be wasted on this.
Going to the Central Realm for Job Awakening has been going on for a long time. In this long exploration, there are already several sets of perfect methods.
This time, the participants of this year took the flying Warcraft Cold Skylark to the bustling town of Dandis at the intersection of the two realms by air, and then entered the central realm by land and rushed to the imperial capital of Stirral.
The team was still very calm when they first set off, and there was nothing to do with each other between the Insiders and the Electors, and of course there was not much intersection, after all, there was a gap between the two.
For those who have made a decision, their talents and origins are all top-notch, and even participating in the Eastern Spirit Sacrifice is just a formality for them, if it weren't for this, I'm afraid they wouldn't have intersected with the Elector at all.
And those who can stand out in the Eastern Spirit Festival and obtain the summons to go to the Central Realm for the Rank Awakening Ceremony also have their own pride. Although there may be some selectors who are interested in geniuses, since the other party is putting on a look of love and reason, there is no need to be cheeky and stick to it.
Slang was indeed with El and his party when he rode the Cold Skylark, but after arriving at Dandis, because of the special situation of El and his party, Slang could only be alone.
Everyone has their own secrets, and not telling them doesn't mean distrust, and sometimes it's more about not wanting to get into trouble, whether it's to trouble others or yourself.
There's nothing wrong with that, as Slang is used to being alone. What's more, in his soul, there is also a visitor from the world, lonely or something, for him is a joke.
After entering the Central Realm, perhaps the place of the Rank Awakening Ceremony was approaching, and the entire team began to become silent, so Slang was not actually regarded as an outlier.
"There are no absolutes" is a phrase that is as common as it is on the continent of Ephesola.
As a normal human being, no one can spend a long time in a depressive environment.
As the team walked, Slang walked forward and had a conversation with Fang Scar, discussing what might happen during the Rank Awakening Ritual. As a special existence of one body and two souls, more than ten years of life and adaptation have allowed Si Long to achieve two uses in one move.
Perhaps because the environment was too oppressive, Slang didn't take too many precautions when talking to Fang Zhen.
In the previous soul dialogue, there were not many strong people around Si Lang, to be precise, there were no strong people who were proficient in souls, so Si Long had a tragedy this time.
What's even more tragic is that Fang Zhen is cowering in the sea of souls at the moment, and he doesn't dare to breathe.
For the power of the soul, the soul of a foreigner, a visitor from another world is a great temptation.
In the moment when Slang and Fang Scar relaxed slightly, the soul fluctuations that were different from those of the various races on the Ephesola continent were detected by the witch.
Even if it was a team of up to two hundred people, it was not difficult for the witch who was already in control to determine this tempting soul fluctuation at all.
And that's what makes this team so special.
After determining the approximate location, Litina directly broke away from the original first echelon and appeared near Slang.
No one can despise the Dominion. Especially for these cultivators who have not yet awakened their careers, if they can be looked at by the rulers, it will definitely be backed by the sea and live a worry-free life.
Unfortunately, for the parties involved, this is not the case.
The disappearance and appearance of Dominion may not have any rules to follow for ordinary people, but this is not the case for Slang and Fang Scar, especially Fang Scar.
While not belonging to this world, and not being accepted by this world, Fang Scar's sensitivity to this world is also beyond all else.
Therefore, when Litina appeared, Square Mark was aware of it. It's a pity that Domination is the top existence of this world pyramid after all, even if Fang Scar detects it, but the prevention is still a step too late and is locked by the other party.
Thankfully, Fang Scar wasn't alone.
As close friends who have lived together for more than ten years, when Fang Zhen made a move, Si Lang also made a move at the same time, and the tacit understanding between the two did not need to be said at all.
Therefore, although the soul walker had already locked on to the target, due to the tacit understanding of the two teenagers, it was not possible to be 100% sure.
Fang Zhen's seductive soul aura for the witch disappeared the moment she appeared.
It's like discovering the other person and the other party discovering yourself, although one step behind, but this feeling has not been tried for a long time.
Each Ruler has his or her own title, not only because of the respect for him, but also because he represents the direction of the Lord's specialization. But in the Ellora Council, there is an outlier, and that is Lytina.
Rather than the honorific title of Soul Walker, Ellora's seat prefers to call her a witch.
Witches are fickle, especially powerful witches, and those who specialize in soul cultivation are often called neurotic by outsiders, but that is due to mysterious soul exploration.
As for anyone who dares to say that the soul walker is insane, then he will soon understand how the word "witch" came from.
The fickle witch and the soul from a foreign country are like positive and negative poles that attract each other, but unfortunately they are the middlemen.
On the way to the Central Imperial Capital, the witch had been looking at Si Long with interested eyes, but this interested look was extremely dangerous in the eyes of Si Long and Fang Ji.
As a native of the East, Si Long had also fantasized that he would be able to match up with the Ruler, but that fantasy would definitely not be the one that made him tremble now.
Although it is rare to see Fang Scar's deflated situation on weekdays, Slang doesn't want this situation to occur on the premise of taking him. For Fang Zhen, which is simply a forbidden spell-level peach blossom relationship, Si Lang really wants to laugh at the other party.
If Fang Zhen knew what Slang was thinking at the moment, it was estimated that he would directly come to an international gesture. Maybe this is the best performance of your friends walking together in their lives.
The words are divided into two ends, and the journey will eventually come to an end.
No matter how strange and uncomfortable the situation was, when they arrived at the imperial capital of Stirral, Slang and Fang Zhen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Because the witch who had been by their side all this time had vanished, as if she had appeared without warning.
The two teenagers had nothing to fear now, they just wanted to rest and comfort their tired bodies and minds.
Seeing the witch return, the sage Ars walked past the others and walked to the city gate, where he had a conversation with one of the supreme rulers of the Imperial Capital who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, and the current patriarch of the Celestial Star Clan, Lucifer Christmas.
Lucifer was also one of only three members of his imperial court who had good intentions towards the Eastern Realm.
It is worth mentioning that the Imperial Court is the supreme power organization of the entire Realm in relation to the Central Realm, just as the Ellora Council is relative to the Eastern Realm.
Just as the sage was talking to Dawn Star about the matter, two other beings walked out of the imperial capital. Looking at the two creatures who came out of Stillar, both the Sage and the Dawn Star frowned, and then looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
