511 Age of Grey Mist I
"Now, Gregory, O Chosen One, are you ready to learn all this?"
The witch's voice was still soft, but it caused a pressure called responsibility to rise in Gregory's heart, and he was silent for a few minutes, and finally nodded heavily.
"Then come with me."
The witch seemed to see Gregory's nod, smiled slightly, and turned to walk towards the campfire, and Gregory gritted his teeth and followed.
At the moment when the two of them approached the bonfire, the originally quietly burning bonfire suddenly burst into flames, and the flames rolled up, engulfing the two of them.
"Good luck guy."
Rowena pouted as she looked at the campfire, which had become calm again, and her expression was not as serious as it had just been, but rather like a little girl.
However, this little girl's posture only appeared for a moment, and when Rowena turned to look at Sawya, he once again became the sapphire king who stood tall.
"Before they come back, let's talk about it."
Rowena seemed to be asking for Sawyer's opinion, but there was no hint of inquiry in his tone.
"I don't seem to have the right to refuse."
Sawyer shrugged, when facing a powerhouse of Royna's level, even if he didn't want to say it, the other party had many means to know the information he wanted.
"It's just talking, we're not enemies yet," Rowena waved his hand, condensing two chairs out of thin air: "As a guest, you can ask a question first." ”
Sawyer pondered for two seconds: "This world is dying, right?" ”
Rumble!
A powerful momentum erupted from Rowena, and the entire tower space fell into an apocalyptic scene......
……
The flames of the bonfire swelled violently, covering the space of several meters around it, and then retracted in an instant, returning to its previous appearance of burning quietly, but beside the bonfire, there were two more figures.
"Where is this?"
When the flames in front of him disappeared, looking at the scene that seemed to have not changed at all, Gregory had a strange feeling in his heart, he was no longer in the tower of the Blue City, and even no longer in the Blue City.
"You're finally here."
The same words, the same voice, but when they reached Gregory's ears, they gave him a sense of majesty and inviolability.
Raising his head, a familiar figure came into view, and Gregory turned his head a little stiffly, only to see another identical figure.
"Don't be surprised, I'm a witch, I'm her, and there's only one witch throughout."
The witch who had arrived with Gregory smiled, comforting Gregory with a soft voice.
"What do you mean?"
Gregory didn't understand, or he already understood, but he just found a random topic to hide his nervousness, but neither witch meant to explain, just said in unison: "You don't have to ask now, you will understand later." ”
"So, why did you bring me here?"
Gregory changed the question, and the witch who came with him said gently, "Because I want to explain all this to you, to explain it to you personally." ”
"Personally?"
Gregory's doubts grew, but before he could ask again, he saw the bonfire on his side skyrocket again, and when the flames retracted, there were five more figures around.
Five figures dressed in black robes and wearing metal forehead guards.
Looking at the five witches standing side by side, Gregory suddenly noticed the difference between them.
Although they wore the same clothes, wore the same forehead guards, and even showed half of their faces, there were seven grooves on their foreheads, and each of them had a gemstone set on their foreheads, although in the dark these gems were dull and dull, and they were not even noticed, but when you looked closely, you could see that these gems were of different colors, and moreover, the places where these gems were set were also different.
Gregory turned his head and looked closely, and sure enough, there was also a gem on the forehead guard of the Blue City witch who accompanied him here, and the witch who was waiting for him here, and there was a blue gem inlaid on a groove on the left side of the blue city witch's forehead, and on the forehead of the other witch, there was a golden gem inlaid in the center.
Gregory seemed to understand something, and didn't ask any more, and the other six witches, including the Witch of the Blue City, walked behind the witch here, and finally disappeared into the darkness, while the witch in the center was lit up with a hazy light, and there were also gems in the seven grooves on the forehead.
"So, that's you."
At this moment, Gregory seemed to understand a lot and grow a lot, and the eyes looking at the witch were no longer full of nervousness as they were just now, but a little more indifferent.
"So, you get the idea."
The witch also laughed, when the seven witches fused, she was not as distinct as she had just been, like a robot with a set personality, and became more like a "human", a person with joys and sorrows.
"Then come with me."
As the witch spoke, Gregory felt that his surroundings were gradually brightening, and at some point, he was already standing on the top floor of the tower around the city, surrounded by a raging flame.
"This is the first tower of the Gray Mist Age, and it is also the first place of hope for the entire Gray Mist Age."
The witch's voice was a little ethereal, and her simple words brought Gregory back to the time when the gray fog had just descended.
At the beginning, at the beginning of the gray fog era, the corrosive ability of the gray fog was not as strong as it is now, even ordinary people could survive in the gray fog for a period of time, and if there was a strong person to protect them, they would have no worries about survival.
So, under the protection of the strong, at the beginning of the gray fog era, the world order did not collapse, and the strong people in the city used their own strength to support shelters one after another, protect the city from being threatened by the gray fog, and accept refugees from settlements.
However, just when everyone thought that they could survive this difficult period and survive until the gray fog dissipated, one problem after another was placed in front of the ruler.
At the beginning of the gray fog era, the first problem faced was also the biggest problem, that is, the problem of food, when the sun was obscured by the gray fog, most of the crops could not grow normally, and the livestock were all crazy in the gray fog, and even alienated into monsters.
However, with the support of magic and magic, life can barely continue, even if many cities choose measures such as material control and halving rations, but at least the vast majority of people have a chance to live.
As time passed, however, a larger, deadlier problem emerged.
The world is starting to fall apart.
