(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and follow it to give more support to "Super Technology Empire"!) The core of a realm must be the castle where the lord is located.
Depending on the strength of the territory, whether it is a low stone house or a towering stone fortress, in short, it is a residence that ordinary tenants cannot reach, and symbolizes the authority of the lord.
The castle is more than 10 meters long on the outer stone wall alone, and the inner wall is even higher than the outer wall. At the top of the stone wall, there will be a battlement with a spear hole every few meters, and every twenty meters there will be a defensive tower with a spire and a round body, plus a higher inner wall at the back, as long as there are enough archers, it can form an extremely terrifying crossfire between the inner and outer walls, which is enough to resist several times the enemy's attacks, and even if the outer city wall is lost, it can continue to maintain great suppressive power.
The castle is surrounded by a huge lake that surrounds the castle as a moat, in fact, this magnificent megalithic castle is located on the island in the middle of the lake, only a bluestone river road is connected to the south bank, and the terrain is extremely conducive to defense.
Although this castle looks majestic, the strange thing is that the castle is surrounded by a thin layer of gray mist all the time, even in the middle of the sun, this layer of mist cannot be dispelled, making this castle always look a little gloomy, full of dark and mysterious mystery.
The soldiers and servants who lived in this environment were a little pale, their expressions were very cold, and there was very little communication with each other, as if there was an oppressive silence in the air that could make normal people go crazy.
It's a little strange today, though. At the first rays of the morning sun, the fog that had shrouded the castle disappeared, bathing the whole castle in a warm golden yellow, taking away all the gloom and dampness, and replacing it with the cool morning breeze and the vigorous smell of the vegetation.
The sound of clattering footsteps echoed through the castle. It spread all the way to the female wall of the main tower of the castle.
(This female wall refers to a wall battlement rebuilt on the outer wall of the main tower, like an additional wall walkway attached to the outer wall of the tower, located at the top of the main tower, which can also be seen as a kind of open-air balcony.) )
Boom!
The heavy planks leading to the women's wall were pushed open, revealing a dark and deep passageway, and the sunlight that shone through it could only stay by the door. Can't go one step deeper.
Then something seemed to start surging in the darkness, and soon a black figure stepped out and walked all the way to the wall, completely naked in the sunlight.
It was a black robe. The knight wearing pure black armor inside, the sun shone on his armor, rippling circles of colorful light, constantly circulating, full of noble and gorgeous feeling.
Taking off his full-face helmet, the knight revealed his youthful face. He had blonde hair, and the edges and corners of his pale face were like knives and axes, which added a heavy color of fortitude to his already very handsome face. No matter how you look at it, he can be called a perfect model of knighthood.
Without the helmet's obstruction, the sun covered his head. Immediately, wisps of black smoke came out of all parts of his head, and there was a snorting sound like oil being boiled.
As the sun warmed his skin, it also brought him a pinprick tingling sensation and caused his dark power to boil violently, but there was no pain on his face. There is only a leisurely peace.
At this time, several small towns on the shore of the lake have already sounded the chiming bells. People wake up from their sleep and start their day's work. Looking from the female wall of the main tower, you can see a little black dot starting to be busy along the simple cross streets of several towns, which is quite a rare scene of peaceful life.
"Felimus, do you feel it?" The young knight whispered as if to himself, "Olivia is dead. ”
"Yes, Lord Atolis." A middle-aged man walked out of the dark passage, came behind the young knight, and bowed, "The soul image of the first patron has been shattered, and it is impossible to resurrect again. His tone was flat and emotionless, as if he were narrating an unrelated matter.
"Really? It's sad. The young knight said leisurely, his eyes deep and full of the wisdom that only old men had accumulated over time.
He turned and looked at Philmus, while the middle-aged man kept bowing and waiting.
"I, since I was summoned into this world two hundred years ago, it has been my duty to protect, to use my sword and blood to give my people a place to live. Unfortunately, the power of light has been asleep, the lords have long since decayed, the world has lost the value of salvation, and the power of darkness is unstoppable, completely infiltrating the world from the bottom up, and sinking is inevitable, so I made the first choice and signed a contract with the darkness to ensure the peace of my territory and people for a long time.
For a long time, my body and mind have been corrupted by darkness, but I have also deeply understood the nature of darkness, and even light can no longer hurt me. But the darkness that I have contracted with has deviated from its essence, is no longer pure, and is bent on sinking the world into a darker abyss, until we, the dark ones, have become food for darkness.
I can't change this, I can't even postpone it, I can only watch in vain as the final outcome comes.
However, the dawn came. ”
Atolis looked down at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes shining with a chilling awe.
"The being who came briefly ten years ago has come again, he has the support of the light like me, and has obliterated Olivia's existence, although he has been driven out of this world by the darkness of the counterattack, he has sown enough seeds, and the opportunity has appeared. As long as we catch him, we can reap the reward of darkness, purify our essence, regain our freedom, and have the possibility of sublimating the world we want, for which I have waited too long, this may be our only chance, only to succeed. Can't afford to fail. ”
"Yes, my lord, your will is my will." Felimus said respectfully.
"Go now, I command you to find his seed, but don't do it. Quietly and slowly, he will come back again, there is only one opportunity, and it cannot be wasted. ”
"Understood, sir, please rest assured. I will do what you wish. Felimus bowed his head and replied without hesitation, then saluted respectfully and retreated back into the darkness, quickly moving away.
After Felimus left. Atolis's eyes fell silent, and he turned to look at the towns on the outskirts of the castle that were beginning to come alive.
"It's a beautiful world, isn't it?"
……
In the void, Chen Peng let out a hearty laugh for a long time.
"I see...... I understand...... That's what happened......"
While breaching the barrier of the Fragment Plane, a being took the opportunity to pass him some information, but he didn't have time to think about it due to the urgency of the situation. It wasn't until the beast tide was dispelled that the information began to be digested.
Even that being helped him - the spear of light that pierced the panther was used by that being through Chen Peng's hand - of course, it consumed the faith of the believers, and with this help, he finally succeeded in creating a chance for Barbarom to die with the incredibly powerful panther. If they are allowed to escape and continue to attack believers in secret, no one can be sure of survival.
After making a covenant with the believers as a god and man, Chen Peng left the fragment plane before the most violent counterattack of the dark will arrived, and returned to the relative safety of the void to sort out the harvest this time.
To put it simply, the will of the world in that fragment plane has been split and turned into several parts, and the strongest is the collection of wills in the two directions of light and darkness. It has been hoped that this fragment plane will be directed in the direction of their essence.
Of course, this will does not refer to the kind of individual will that is similar to that of a human being. Rather, it is a combination of pan-consciousness with the same general goal, without reason but instinct.
Chen Peng came to this fragment plane for the first time. It was the ghost of the Light Will that pulled him over. Because of the imperfect rules of the fragment plane itself, it is very susceptible to the influence of external energy, and in the void, it is undoubtedly dark that is far superior to light, resulting in the dark will of this fragment plane being far stronger than the light will, so that this fragment plane continues to sink towards a darker world. As for the will of the bright direction, it is not willing to fail, every once in a while will burst out all the accumulated energy, looking for powerful souls in the void and will descend to this world to fight against the invasion of darkness, these souls that are pulled are what people call saviors or heroes, and Chen Peng is one of the souls that are pulled.
However, because the power of the dark direction is even stronger, although every savior or hero is very powerful, it cannot change the general trend of this world, and finally ends up depressed or throws into darkness until Chen Peng's arrival.
Chen Peng's inadvertent creation of Pang Ban caused a variable in the original trajectory of this world, an opportunity for the light to re-suppress the dark direction, and the will of the dark direction obviously felt the threat of Pang Ban and the rest of Chen Peng's followers, so he tried to strangle Pang Ban and them by influencing this beast tide, but in the end, with the advent of Chen Peng and the secret help of the light side, it fell short.
You must know that neither the will of darkness nor the will of light can be shot directly, it must be through certain media, like the will of darkness chooses the violent and chaotic beast tide, and the will of light relies on Chen Peng and the devout believers, now that the beast tide has been driven back, it will not be a matter of a day or two if the dark will wants to gather the beast tide again, and then Pang Ban and they will have already arrived at a safe place.
What's more, the complete death of Olivia, the first patron of darkness, made the dark will side suffer a heavy loss.
