With Rowena's description, Sawyer finally sorts out the history of this world, and the problems it faces.

The ancient kings found the original fire and established the seven ring cities, but as time passed, people's hearts gradually changed, and the contradictions continued, and finally, when the contradictions reached a certain critical point, the conflict broke out, and some people who pursued freedom broke through a tower around the city, wanting to build their own city with fire, but finally failed under the intervention of witches, most of the rebels were killed, and the remaining two also fled into the depths of the gray fog.

Later, the two expelled kings played a conspiracy, plotted against a large number of new kings, gathered forces to overturn the six ring cities, and finally launched a decisive battle in the City of Hope, although they still lost, but under the influence of the gray mist, they chose to die with the original fire.

The fire was extinguished, the betrayers who were still sensible fled into the gray mist, and the remaining new kings also left in disheartened, but an ancient king chose to sacrifice himself to rekindle the flames, and to some extent restored the operation of the ring city system.

As a result, those who fled betrayed felt that they had lost, and if they had known that they would not have betrayed, maybe they would have been able to share a fire!

Therefore, the six surviving betrayers discussed it and decided to make another big vote and steal the fire of the six new kings in one go, but at this time, these six betrayers had already accepted the transformation of the gray mist, and after stealing the fire, a wonderful reaction occurred, and finally turned into a group of monsters.

The Ring City side also launched a hunt for the betrayer, but in the end it also failed, killing only two monsters, and the remaining four expelled kings fled into the depths of the gray mist, although they no longer attacked the Ring City, but they fused with the fire, but at all times, they weakened the power of this world, making the world collapse faster and faster.

If you want the world to stop collapsing, or even return to its original state, the first step to do is to go to the depths of the gray fog and hunt down these four expelled kings!

"And then, you chose Gregory, the wronged leader?"

Sawyer suddenly felt a little painful, the four expelled kings were able to wrestle with the ancient kings more than three hundred years ago, and now more than three hundred years have passed, who knows how powerful it is, at this time, the will of the world has chosen a stunned young man who has just become a mercenary as the savior?

"Don't worry, the witch has her own plans."

Rowena smiled reluctantly, and it was clear that she was worried about the problem as well.

In the center of the city, in the tower space, Gregory strode into the flames according to the witch's instructions, however, the imaginary burning sensation did not appear, but seemed to enter an orange-red world, and the whole body felt very comfortable and warm.

And in the very center of this world, a long sword burning with golden flames was silently suspended in the air, as if waiting for Gregory's arrival.

As if sensing Gregory's arrival, the golden flame on the long sword became a little stronger again, as if urging Gregory to take it away quickly, so Gregory no longer hesitated, strode forward, and grasped the hilt of the long sword......

Rumble!

The roar exploded in Gregory's mind, and the golden flames on the sword's body also turned into rainbows and poured into Gregory's body.

After a long time, when Gregory regained consciousness, he was back in front of the campfire, and in his hand was holding a black sword, or rather, a sword-like one...... Iron bars?

Looking at the long sword in his hand, Gregory was speechless for a while, this "long sword" is like twisting a square iron rod into twist, polishing the tip of the sword, and installing a gauntlet and a sword head, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a weapon that can be used against the expelled king!

"This ......"

"Don't be fooled by appearances, chosen child, this sword will give you the power to fight the darkness." The witch bowed slightly, and a portal appeared beside her: "The darkness is still spreading, it's time for you to go." ”

Looking at the portal that led to nowhere, Gregory swallowed, tightened the black sword in his hand, and finally made up his mind and strode towards the portal.

Behind Gregory, the witch bowed again: "Goodbye, my lord, may the flame guide you." ”

Shortly after Gregory left the portal, the bonfire in the Blue City Tower broke out again, and the witch avatar of the Blue City came out of the fire: "Traveler from another world, you must have got the answer you wanted, right?" ”

"That's just the majority of the answers." Sawyer shook his head, "I want to know more. ”

"But I'm afraid I can't answer your questions, all the answers need to be found by yourself, and all I can do is just a few hints."

The witch smiled softly, not caring about Sawyer's directness.

"Hint?"

Sawyer couldn't help but chuckle, isn't this the usual routine of games with puzzle elements?

"Yes, hint," the witch's tone remained gentle, not caring for Sawyer's reaction, "Go to the Intermittent Stronghold, there's the answer you want." ”

"An intermittent stronghold? That's ......"

Sawyer had barely finished speaking, when he felt his eyes light up, but he was already standing outside the tower.

"This send-off is still decisive."

Sawyer couldn't help but spit out, Rowena next to him was used to it, although the witch incarnation of Blue City had a gentle personality, but in some ways......

Looking at the walls of the tower and shaking his head, Sawyer turned his head to look at Rowena again: "So, the ancient king of the Sapphire Ring City, can you tell me where the intermittent stronghold is?" I've always felt that the witch's tips weren't complete. ”

"yes, you guessed it right," Rowena nodded, looking impatient, "because I'll add up the rest of the tips for you!" ”

An intermittent stronghold is a general term for a type of stronghold, which is a special kind of stronghold attached to an intermittent channel.

The intermittent passage is the product of the past hundred years, due to the increasingly serious collapse of the rules of the world outside the shelter, the space in many areas has begun to become unstable, and some of the gray fog passages through the unstable area have also been truncated by the chaotic space, and these disconnected passages are called intermittent passages.

Of course, because the Grey Mist Passage is the fastest and safest way to communicate between the two cities, and there will be some treasures randomly appearing in the Unstable Zone, so even if the passage is cut off by the Unstable Space, there are still many caravans and adventurers who are willing to come here to gamble their luck and pass through the Unstable Zone to the Grey Mist Passage at the other end, or simply enter the Unstable Zone to hunt for treasures.

Over time, at both ends of the broken passage, Grey Mist strongholds were established for caravans and adventurers to rest, and these strongholds were what the witch called intermittent strongholds.
