"The lizard prophets have predicted the imminent extinction of the sea of light, and the astrologers have observed the birth of new stars, so I suspect that the journey of the stars has begun." Karatu paused, listened to the slow, low creaking of the hut beneath his feet, and looked up again, staring out the aft window with heavy eyes.

"It's the constellation Flux, and it's in the star region where you can often see a star with a magnitude of six dims twinkling. Although the stars of Aitalia today are very different from those of ten years ago, it is still rare to observe the birth of new stars. ”

Fang Yu listened to the other party's narration, and while looking away from the light page in front of him, he asked, "I have heard this term more than once, but what exactly is 'verdant' in history?" What is the Scourge Star, and how did it bring the Dark Dragon, the Giants, and the Naga to Aitalia? ”

"What happened to the Ethelin Plague?"

The notes left by those who came before us are vague, so few people can answer this question now. But I still found some documents from that era, and the arrival of the Scourge seems to have started with a series of cataclysms, which were divided into two phases. The first stage is the year of disaster—"

"When a year of calamity comes, a series of changes will occur in Aitaria as a sign of calamity. Rare long droughts, earthquakes, floods, locust plagues, until mountains and rivers shift, stars falling, long days and nights, changing the heavens—1,300 years ago, elven sorcerers recorded one of the largest star-falling events in history, the comet 'Redtail' crashing into Alzea. ”

"More than a thousand years later, the consequences of the comet's crash into the Great Rift Valley that formed the southern part of the empire today can still be clearly seen by posterity – a long belt of fragmentation that nearly cut off the floating continent of Assyria. It was still a wild area at the time, and if it were today, the consequences would be unimaginable—"

"Then after the year of the disaster, there is the second stage. During the Calamity, the Evil Stars will approach Aitalia, and when the two get close to a certain point, a passage will open between the two, and 'dark creatures will surging through the portals and engulfing everything', as the Noumerin Empire has recorded in its own literature. ”

The light of the crystal flickered and dimmed as the mana dried up.

It was completely dark, but after a brief darkness the moonlight streamed in through the aft window, gilding the room with a cold silver glow.

The big cat man lit his pipe.

The light of the match instantly illuminated his silver-gray eyes and the scars on his face.

片刻之后，黑暗之中便只剩下烟斗内的红光一闪一灭。

With Caratu's calm voice, he slowly spoke:

"The armies of darkness have swept through everything in just a few years, though the literature does not make this clear. But this can be seen from the ever-changing defensive lines of the Numerin Empire in the early days of the War of the Giants. ”

"In one of the letters addressed to Dorchuia, it is mentioned that there are also traces of the Dark Army in the area of Beolan. Dorsia was the center of the Noumerin Empire, home to the Elven court, and the Beolan region should be north of present-day Tarun—"

"At that time, it was also the hinterland of the Elven Empire, similar to the Kalin Plains, or the Lothrian region of the Othello Empire."

"Dark creatures," Fang Plover asked on behalf of the others as he looked into the eyes of the others, "Do you mean the Dark Dragons, the Giants, and the Naga?" ”

Karatu thought for a moment and replied:

"It is said that in the early days of the War of the Giants, there were more powerful dark creatures, such as the Twelve Primordial Giants defeated by Talos, who were equal to the Dark Dragons in the early days of the War. But in the later stages of the war, the hill giants, trolls, and even ogres that the mortal kingdom fought against were already products that had deteriorated countless times, and even became servants of the dark dragon. ”

"But we don't know just how powerful the original dark creatures were. It's just that the surviving giants, after becoming the native species of Aitalia, still inherited the strong power of their first bloodline, and we may be able to get a glimpse of them from them. ”

Fang Plover couldn't help but think of the hill giants they had seen in the canyon, they were stupid, irritable, and not even dark creatures, but the strength they showed in the battle with the spider queen was still impressive. And this is still a deformed product after mixing with native species and deteriorating countless times-

It's hard to imagine just how strong the Primal Giants really are.

He couldn't help but think that the reason why that war was called a 'war of giants' rather than a 'war of dragons', or maybe that's why. While the war between the mortal kingdom and the dark dragon is a song to be celebrated, it is often overlooked that everything that has happened after the Ethelin Plague is the end of the 'War of the Giants'.

Talos, the lord of the mountain, defeated the twelve primordial giants and enslaved them for eternity, and later generations of believers commemorated the battle with many compositions to commemorate it. Fang Yu remembered that he was at the Traveler's Rest, and in Fenris and Goland, he had seen statues that depicted similar stories—

But as a deity, if the opponent is not strong enough, then what is the pride of winning the battle? Especially a god as proud and conceited as Taros, who was not as hungry for honor as Marlan, the lady of war and valor, was by no means complacent because he had defeated a few weak opponents.

It can be seen that the primordial giants are at least qualified to fight the gods.

Speaking of which, the Dark Dragon is a homegrown product.

They were originally the descendants and followers of the dragon guardian Bahamut, but they were bewitched by the dark forces to become dark dragons. As a result, he was cursed by the dragon guardians and forever lost the power of dragon magic, which the dragons were proud of.

Perhaps to promote the legitimacy of the victorious side, the mortal kingdom more or less exaggerated the power of the dark dragon, and the sacrifices and efforts of the mortals for the peace of Aitaria after the departure of the Numerim Elve. Despite the blood shed by the heroes, mortals did pay a little bit for the final victory of the war—the Oath Keeper, Josud, Miss Misu, Mr. Mazak, and even Miss Eve, all of whom were heroes of the war and continue to this day.

For this reason, it is not permissible to make this statement.

However, it is inevitable that it will have a certain impact on the historical records of later generations and the cognition of future generations. As long as we think deeply, we can perceive the error between history and reality.

But what does the star symbolize?

According to the archmage, Scourge is like another world that is the complete opposite of Aitalia, where creatures bathed in light live - humans, dwarves and elves, even halflings and the people of the wilderness of Rotao, all born of the starlight, the children of light.

In the darkness of the other world, there are countless dark creatures, as if their existence is to devour this world.

But is Scourge really just a world?

So what do the first and second scourges represent? After the War of the Giants, where did Verdant go? Next, what is the connection between the third evil star predicted by the lizard prophets and the green? Are the dark creatures above the third scourge still the same as the first and second scourges?

This time, will there be giants, will there be dark dragons?

Unfortunately, the answer to all these questions is a mystery.

The reason for all this is because the time when the first calamity star came was too long. They struggled to even grasp information from before the time of the Ethelin Scourge, and they could only guess what happened in the few surviving ancient documents.

As for what happened in the First Age, the Sinsas Snake People, it is really powerless to understand. How did the Sinsas defeat the First Scourge, and before them, was there another civilization similar to the Noumerin Elves to mortals?

But from the point of view that the elves are the teachers of the mortal realm, it is undoubtedly the dragon who first taught the power of magic to the snake people. Could it be that the first generation is actually the age of dragons?

But with the dragon's long life and memories, it should not have forgotten everything that happened back then.

Fang Ou came back from his rambling thoughts, and realized that if Karatu really said, Aitalia should be on the verge of crisis right now. If the Third Calamity Star is imminent, there should not be much time left for the mortal kingdom.

Since the time of the Noumerin Elves, it has only been a thousand years, and nearly half of them, the mortal kingdom is still at war with the dark dragon, and it has even continued to this day. Now that the evil star is returning, is the mortal kingdom really ready for all this?

Or to change the question, can the current mortal kingdom reach the level of the former Noumerin Empire.

He frowned, looked at the description on his light page, and thought that he was lucky—fortunately it had nothing to do with Earth. Crossing a stargate, the catastrophe of Aitaria should not affect everything that happens in the other world in any way?

He wasn't timid or out of the way. It's just that he doesn't want more people to be implicated, especially his uncle, aunt, and Tang Xin's family. They had come to Aitaria because of themselves, and there was nothing to worry about if they could return to Earth to avoid all of this.

But he remembered what Su Changfeng said to him for a while.

Can the Xingmen Harbor side be left alone?

He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Even you can grasp this information. There is a huge Aitalia, and it can't be that he's the only one who has Karatu and Don De investigating something related to the scourge. The lizards' prophecies had never been hidden from outsiders, and it was impossible for the scholars of Aitaria not to care about it entirely.

And he is just one person, and the tens of millions of electors in Xingmen Harbor have gathered the news from all aspects, and it will not be as perfect as him. Is Xingmen Harbor really ignorant of the 'Scourge Star'? Or are you confident about the physical barrier between the two worlds?

The more Fang Yu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he simply let go of this idea—like all people who are lucky, he couldn't help but ask:

"The coming of the Evil Star must be a long process, right?"

"Theoretically," Karatu replied, "but it's not that simple. ”

"I'm not here, but I learned something from Donde. And judging by some of the information I saw in the second world, it is enough to prove this from the side. ”

"After the Scourge of Aetherin, the foundations of Aitaria are shaking—each floating continent is experiencing varying degrees of drastic decay of Guy Crystals. In fact, this situation had been noticed in the main continent of Assyria five years earlier, but at the time it was only thought to be overexploited. ”

But the Council of the Stars and the Moon then discovered that not only in Osyria, but in fact in Kaurin-Ishurian, the Great Tree Hill and Rotao, all of which coincidentally showed such signs. In particular, the Giant Tree Hill, which is dominated by devotees of the goddess of nature, has banned the mining of Guy Crystal for many years, so it should not be among them. ”

"Miss Atira," Karatu looked at the elven girl beside her, "you are one of the unicorn girls of the Temple of the Holy Tree, with your status, you should be enough to understand these facts, right?" ”

Attila glanced at Fang Plover before nodding.

"Indeed, the Guy Crystal at the core of the Giant Tree Hill has been naturally depleting since a few years ago. In fact, the Giant Tree Hill is sinking into the empty sea at a rate of two to three centimeters per year, but the temple has not yet grasped the relevant clues, and the goddess has not given a clear response, so we have not made it public for a while. ”

Fang Yu couldn't help but look at Miss Elf in surprise.

He cares about a detail. Caratu said that with the status of 'Miss Elf', Miss Attila's status in the Temple of the Sacred Tree seemed to be higher than he had imagined. This is slightly different from his original understanding. Although he had heard from the big cat before, about the unicorn girl.

It's just that he doesn't know what the unicorn girl is. That itself seems to be one of the secrets of the Holy Tree Temple.

Karatu continued, "The situation on other continents is similar, and the situation reminds me of the events that took place before the Esselin disaster. It's just that I don't have any more information at hand to prove the correlation between the two, so I'm still at the guessing stage. ”

"But if all this is really caused by the arrival of the Evil Star, then it means that the influence of the Third Evil Star on Aitalia is quite obvious."

Tang De walked in from outside the door at this time, tapped his cane with his knuckles, and replied in a hoarse voice: "And due to the weakening of the Guy force, the floating continent has sunk significantly, causing passages to the deep sea to appear in many places. Therefore, the nations and the forces of the Chosen One are drawing their forces from the Second World and returning to the First World. ”

"Because with the reappearance of the Abyssal Sea, Athelin, who sank beneath the Abyssal Sea, and many of the floating fortresses built by the Sinsas Snake People of the First Age, may re-enter everyone's field of vision. Athelin had the legacy of the entire time of the Noumerin Empire, when even the elves had not taken everything from the Old World on the day of the Cataclysm. ”

"So it's hard to imagine how many opportunities and treasures there will be down there—"

"What's more, the foundations of many of the floating fortresses built during the Sinsas snake era were made of priceless dimensional anchorstones. It can be said that as long as you find a fortress in that era, you will have the wealth of a rich country from now on. ”

"As Don said. Although the calamity has not yet come, the signs have appeared, and the abyssal sea, which has not changed for thousands of years, will never rise or fall for no reason - not to mention that the connection point between the second world and the abyssal sea seems to have some abnormal signs recently. ”

When Fang Yu heard this, he was terrified and shocked.

Only then did he understand why the major guilds had transferred manpower from the second world back to the first world. Mr. Quelod had mentioned it to him once, but he didn't know what had happened at the time, but if it had happened.

The arrangements of the major guilds seem to be taken for granted-

The Second World has now become a place of dispute, and the Third World is hard to find. Who knows if this is a road to the new world? Moreover, the wealth under the abyssal sea, as Tang De said, was enough to make the hearts of these top first-line guilds move.

Discovering a floating fortress from the era of the Sinsas snake people is more than just the benefit of the anchor stone? The fortress itself is of inestimable value.

And these things that the Great Wizard said reminded him of another thing. Even if Archbishop Tirios of Yunliugang had privately told him about the situation on Fenris Island, there seemed to be a secret agreement between the two. He originally thought that the situation on Fenris Island was due to the influence of Torragotos.

But now it seems that there is more to it than that.

However, these things were too far away from him.

Whether it's the deep sea or the evil star, what does it have to do with him, an alchemist in his early twenties? He holds the power of Cangzhihui, but so far, he doesn't know what this power is for. Not to mention, what does it have to do with the Scourge event.

But Karatu seemed to see what was in his heart, and then he spoke:

"The five holy relics left by the elves are really left for the next calamity star. Then those who can master the holy relics in this era must have their own hidden reasons. It may not be a coincidence that you stumbled upon the Helin Crown. ”

"Do you remember the story of the dragon's golden pupil?"

Fang Yu looked at the ring in his hand and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Caratu continued: "My speculation is not unfounded. When the Guy Crystal began to decay, the passage beneath the abyssal sea reappeared, and it was at this time that rumors of the Elven Obelisk began to circulate. ”

"And about this holy artifact that has not been known to the world, is it a coincidence that it has appeared at this time, or is it a premeditated arrangement?" Karatu asked rhetorically, "Ed, think about it, what is the connection?" ”

A flash of light flashed in Fang Yuan's mind.

He looked up, his gaze subconsciously meeting Sylvid.

Isn't one of the seven obelisks beneath the abyss? And Sylvaid, who happened to have been to that place, Attila's brother, also participated in that expedition. At the same time, he remembered another thing—one of the seven obelisks, beneath Fenris, had now sunk forever into the abyss.

And he.

He must have been the only one who had ever seen the pattern on the obelisk.

Is this really a coincidence?
