Chapter 391: Natural Environment

I sat alone on a heavy piece of ice, surrounded by a thin flame that burned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The scorching fire burns.

In such a hostile environment, if I don't put on my mech and set its surface on fire, I could freeze to death in this place at any time.

This is the Isle of Ice after the death of the Guardian.

Sure enough, as long as the guardian dies, the water and soil she guards will collapse into the same way she was before she came.

Iceheart Island is no exception.

"Sitting beneath you is the product of lava from the volcano frozen by the freezing temperatures." Xie Yan sent his detection results, "So the volcano should have erupted immediately after the Guardian's death, but before it could completely spit out the flames in its body, it was frozen into an iceberg by the cold temperatures that had recovered on this island. ”

"It's nasty." Even with the warmth of the scorching flames on the surface of my body, I still felt a constant stream of cold permeate every crevice of my armor.

"It's cold, it's cold." I shuddered, "How hot is this place?" ”

Xie Yan was silent for a moment.

"Hello?" I asked again.

"I think it's close to absolute zero." His tone sounded a little heavy, "There's something weird about this place. ”

"Spooky? What about that? I was a little confused, "It's just too cold, I think it's normal." ”

"Nope." Xie Yan's voice was still as serious, "It's really normal to be cold, but it's not normal if it's too cold." ”

"What do you mean by that?" I'm a little curious.

Normally, when Xie Yan starts to beat around the bush when he speaks, it is time for a good show to happen.

"Hmm." He thought for a moment, "You see, the cold in this place is not gradual, but instantaneous, as I said just now, the moment the magma erupted, it was frozen into ice by the extreme temperature here. ”

"That's right." I nodded.

"And there's one more thing I don't know if you've noticed." Xie Yan continued, "When we crossed over from the singularity, it was normal here, right? ”

"Hmm...... It's barely normal. I thought about it.

"Okay." Xie Yan said, "Then did you see the sea at that time?" ”

Sea?

What do you mean?

Is this a romantic game with me?

"Less rotten stuff in my head, I'm getting down to business." There was no joke in Xie Yan's voice, "Since you haven't seen it, then I'll tell you." ”

"Although it was still cloudy on Ice Heart Island at that time, the situation was normal, but there was one thing that was very weird." Xie Yan said slowly, "All the sea outside Ice Heart Island is completely frozen in ice. ”

As he spoke, his half-illusory form emerged from my soul and pointed to the sea to the side, "It's the same as it is now, or the sea around Iceheart Island hasn't changed since the beginning. ”

"It hasn't changed since the beginning?" I seem to understand something.

"Yes, I mean to say that the Guardians have only changed the environment on the island, not the environment outside the island." Xie Yan looked at the endless sea of ice and said, "So how far the frozen environment here extends is still a mystery. ”

"Hmm...... Thank you. I seemed to think of something out of the blue, "Do you know much about the real world?" ”

"So-so, that's it." He shrugged, "It's all hearsay, I haven't actually felt it, what's wrong?" ”

"I would say that, in the real world, the geography of certain areas is like this." I said slowly, "The sea of ice that is endless at a glance, the land that freezes all year round, and the climate where water turns into ice, these are all there. ”

"Even the ice in these places can be hundreds of meters or thousands of meters thick, which is completely beyond the imagination of common sense." I continued, "So I think it's normal for these phenomena to occur in the game, but the values in the game are a little exaggerated. ”

Xie Yan didn't reply, just floated in the air alone and pondered quietly.

"So you mean, these are actually normal natural phenomena?" Xie Yan said slowly.

I nodded.

"These are just the geographical circumstances in which they should appear in the corresponding geographical location." I think I should be right, "Just like in the land of Manyo Country." ”

"That country was built on a piece of loess, and if there were no guardians, it would always be a desert." "So, it's not the environment itself that's changing, it's the guardians. ”

Transforming a place frozen all year round into a wilderness that is like spring all year round, isn't this an anomaly?

Transforming a place full of yellow sand into a green jungle, isn't this a mutation?

Although they are all developing things for the better, these are all anomalies without exception.

The so-called anomaly is when something wrong happens in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Even if the results are beneficial and beneficial to the public, it is also an aberration.

After all, mutation is not a derogatory term.

Mutation is a neutral word.

Its definition changes according to the content of its variation.

It's like the ice fields under my feet and the country of Manyo where I once lived.

The country of Manyo is a country built on the basis of mutations, and once the mutations that sustain it are retreated or eliminated, then the country will naturally cease to exist.

At this point, it suddenly seemed to me that I understood the true definition of a Guardian.

It turns out that what they do is not to protect the water and soil.

What they really protect are those things that have been constructed by mutations, and that go against convention and reality.

That's why the system will justify the crusade against them, so the system will give players generous rewards for their deaths, treating them like wanted criminals.

"If what you just thought is true...... Then I think it's time for me to think differently. Xie Yan turned his head to look at me and said.

Then he burrowed back into my soul space again.

Thinking about Xie Yan's words just now, I always felt as if I had changed something for him, but I always felt like I had done something wrong.

It's a little weird, it's a feeling.

……

Glow Hourglass and Maiden sat down on a snow-white bench on the side of the street.

They seemed to talk very speculatively, and they never stopped talking from the beginning of their meeting.

A player from Northern Europe ends up in a completely different time zone than he lives in, and he doesn't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky.

After all, with that girl here, the melancholy in his heart has been swept away at the moment.
