Chapter 300: A glimpse of reality in front of the chess pieces
A butterfly flapping its wings in South America can be the trigger for a storm in North America a few years later.
Everything is involved. can be regarded as cause and effect. Some are straightforward and simple, such as heating water to boil, and some are grand and far-reaching, such as the relationship between the cosmic singularity and the formation of the earth.
No one can be 100% sure that a thriving civilization will not be swept away overnight by the energy of a supernova explosion that is not many light-years away.
The world is impermanent, and deadly threats often appear suddenly and inadvertently, so there are so many tragedies such as car accidents in the world every year, some of which are responsible for themselves, and some of which are purely unwarranted.
Xu Changqing is more afraid of this now.
The more high-end, the more awe of this kind of power. The implications are so vast that it is impossible to calculate.
Of course, you can also say that this shows that it is still not enough, and the creator god is not good, so invite his father, there is a beginning and an end, and there is always an end.
Xu Changqing also thinks so, but what he has to solve now is how to deal with this kind of incident before becoming the father of the Creation God.
There's really nothing to do. It can only be self-reinforcing, prepare more, and improve the probability of survival.
It wasn't until this moment that he really understood why those immortal old monsters lived in seclusion one by one.
If you live for a long time, no matter how low the probability is, there is also a possibility that you will lose your 10,000 years of cultivation.
And the larger the volume, the more profound and wide-ranging, the more involved and too lively, it will inevitably invite disasters.
In fact, Xu Changqing was a bit prescient, generally speaking, only at the level of Heavenly Immortal or above, he would realize and consider this kind of problem.
This is actually a gift from the child of fate. When he is disqualified for apostasy, he instinctively realizes that something important has been lost, and he is creepy. This is because he fell out of the inherent trajectory of fate.
If you want to fly on your own, you have to be mentally prepared to meet the wind and rain. And when the trouble that was originally sheltered and was blocked came to the door again, he had to carry it himself. Not to mention the fact that the former asylum party has also played the role of a debt collector.
The current Xu Changqing is an alternative kind of selling himself to repay debts, as a creditor's immortal system, he only needs to provide a way to repay debts, as for being killed by more than a dozen big men, I'm sorry, this is not within the priority of creditors. To put it mildly, while it is still fresh, it is more possible to ask for compensation for the round death.
Xu Changqing himself, picking up guests is very cautious, it could have been 'one, two, three, next', but now it has become an 'official, the slave family plays a song first, can it create an atmosphere?' ’
He stayed at Greenstone Fort and didn't leave.
The people below didn't know what he was up to. He doesn't see anyone all day long, and he doesn't need anyone to bring him food, he has developed a natural energy nutrient solution that can be directly absorbed by the human body. If he didn't have this thing, he wouldn't dare to brag that he would be redeemed if he came to the Green Castle, after all, he didn't expect that there would be a need for disaster relief when he came to the west.
The super farming, which was planted early and harvested late, has not stopped, and even the planting area has expanded.
A person's daily nutritional needs and satiety can be viewed separately.
In addition, in order to satisfy the desire of the tongue, like a hammer stone, he belongs to the meatless and unhappy, and Xu Changqing, under the condition that the conditions and the price is not large, he will not wronged himself.
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Julian and the three have not sent any more missions since they returned from Carbank, but they have been a little idle and panicked in the past two days.
"Do you think we're born cheap?"
A few indigenous people happened to pass by not far from them, and when they saw the three of them, they stopped to salute: "My lord! ”
With a casual wave of his hand, which was considered a return salute, Hammerstone said to Todd, "If we are cheap, what are they?" ”
Todd was speechless.
Yes, there is no one to pose in front of these indigenous people now.
The guards are not to mention, they are all half-stupid, and they often go out to sweep and are not in the station.
Witchers also don't have the nature of a shelf. It's not because they have a high consciousness, but because they feel that they are too high after they are strong, so they become reserved.
And the atmosphere of this group is like this, pretending to be forced in front of these people who are so miserable that they can hardly be miserable anymore, it feels very LO.
But they are them, the people are the people, these people who come from afar, trembling and cautious, seeing them are all self-lowering and flattery, so that they even wonder if the reason why those bullies are tender and powerful is also related to the people's indisputability and self-depreciation?
This truth is actually not new, but the three of them really didn't expect that the role of the people could be so great.
"This kind of question is too philosophical and literary, and Uncle Hammerstone wants to burn something now."
Julian laughed: "Boom! ”
Todd chimed in: "Well, I remember when I first met this guy, he was so sassy. It's been years since it disappeared, and this started again. ”
Hammerstone was unimpressed, and his nostrils were facing the sky. "That's because you don't know how good Uncle Hammerstone's fire is now."
"The kind that burns yourself naked? Thanks, we've got it. ”
Todd's poisonous tongue made Hammerstone's face redden. During training a few days ago, one of them didn't catch it, and he made himself a bare pig, which became a snack for Julian and Todd, and it was mentioned from time to time.
"Shall we go and request a reconnaissance mission from Lucien? The last time I saw that treasure trove, there were still a lot of good things in it. Julian proposed.
"And the task? I doubt it. You know how industrious Barton has been lately. ”
Barton, who is also one of the thirteen hunters, has been coveted by the three of Julian since he took office, and he has been actively doing various tasks these days, and he has also spontaneously created tasks, and there is really nothing to do within a hundred miles of the Green Castle.
Julian took out the military map and pointed, "We can go here." ”
"Frost? Didn't the Guards Cavalry get frustrated there not long ago? It is said that he almost can't come back. ”
"That's why it's worth investigating. And we're not just dumb guards. ”……
The custom quest was approved shortly after, and they didn't have to travel on their legs like they had done to Kabank, either on their own legs or on their mounts.
For Xu Changqing and his team, as long as they have explored the road once, they can reach it by teleportation.
"Oh, uncle, I feel very uncomfortable, even if I just woke up from a hangover, I have a headache and nausea." Todd looked intently as he spoke, and saw a great river meandering in the distance, and the canyon cliffs that contained it stretched to the end of the eye.
The terrain was well known to the trio, and as the capital and largest city of the Lakasson region, Frost had been there more than once in the Seventh Age, 1782.
The city has a lot of character. Like most of the large cities of old, Frost is located next to a large river with abundant water.
The river Flon and the city name Frost are derived from this.
It started out as a small town at the foot of a cliff on a riverside beach, but grew to the banks of the river and then to the highland plains above the cliffs.
Therefore, the city is very three-dimensional, with cliffs and mountain roads, aerial rope bridges, highland beachheads, plus brown-red mountain rocks, the red stone canyon with nearly vertical cliffs on both sides, and the large plain at the top of the canyon with golden thorn grass, it can be said that the scenery is unique and very distinctive.
The Cursed Land of Karathon has many legends, including the Florne River and the Grand Canyon of Red Stone, but in 1782, it was a beautiful place. Especially in this late autumn season, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the thorn grass is golden, the kind of blue sky, with the golden plains, red stone canyons and rushing rivers, revealing the magnificent beauty of the organic combination of civilization and nature.
Now!
It's like Hammerstone scolding: "What kind of dog thing is this?" ”
The whole world seems to have turned gray tones, the only difference is the color difference, the sky is lead gray, the plains are flower gray, the cliffs are iron gray, the rivers are authentic gray, as if it is not water that flows, but volcanic ash.
As for cities, it might be more appropriate to call them nests now. Ant nests, beehives, and bird's nests are all a little similar but not like them, plausible, messy and ugly, as if they were on the basis of the original city, and they were casually pasted with plaster, which was awkward no matter how you looked at it.
The three of them left the teleportation anchor, and Julian took out a bottle of spray and sprayed it.
The spray reacts with invisible energy near the anchor point, creating smoke that dissipates randomly.
All three were dressed in optical camouflage suits and wore deep hoods, which at first glance looked like Jedi Knights.
This is a natural curtain sewn by Xu Changqing's servants with a magic loom.
As Julian expected, Xu Changqing's team is constantly adjusting, and the exclusive characteristics of each functional department are getting stronger and stronger.
These days, in addition to washing, cutting and blowing, the equipment and utensils carried by the three of them have also changed a little. Todd said: "Now I have the demeanor of a top scout, coming and going without a trace, invisible." ”
As the three of them traveled across the plains, Todd pointed to a place in the distance and spoke to his good friend in soul language: "The wind told me that the Guards Cavalry was there to fight monsters and eat deflated, and the trap was still there. I don't know if the monster is too stupid, or if it's too smart, and after thinking backwards, I continue to dig holes and wait to step on it. ”
"There seems to be a problem with the river as well, I found that the waves are not normal, there is something underwater, not fish."
Hearing Hammerstone say this, Julian thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the cliff. ”
So the three of them changed into cat's claws and foot covers, and began to climb forward on the cliff.
This cat's claw does not have many small retractable hooks for hooking like ordinary climbing tools, but uses the affinity of the earth element to achieve the suction cup effect, and the same is true for the foot cover. With such a tool, there will be no ash and gravel chips falling unless it is the kind of shale that has been weathered and unusually crumbled.
Thanks to their long physical strength, the trio was able to move faster than an ape jumping from branch to branch. And the cloak that can be bound also ensures the flexibility of the limbs, but does not lose the stealth effect.
"Look at what I saw, human slave labor at work. The monster actually has the idea of production and operation, and this is planning to occupy this place for a long time? ”
"Look at what they're building, it's not supposed to be a nest."
The trio continued on the cliff, approaching the outer edge of the city.
"It's a big job, blocked by these huge log poles and tarpaulins. Can't see clearly. ”
"Take a closer look."
"Wait." Todd blew as he spoke, and a special breeze with a faint color blew, and more than ten meters in front of the three of them, a web appeared, as if there was too much dust on the transparent spider silk.
"Magic web, it seems that the Quimper family has not only joined the monster side, but also gained a lot of strength, and this web is obviously smarter."
"When you see a vampire in Kabank, you should actually think of it. The family is the only one in the Karassen area. What to do? This thing is extremely sensitive, whether it is the power of a sword or the power of the elements, and a little bit of force will trigger an alarm. ”
Julian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you can try this." As he spoke, he took out the spray bottle he had used to eliminate energy.
"Well, try, it's a big deal to do a wave and retreat."
So Julian sneered! After a few sprays, the threads of the web were rapidly corroded, and soon a large gap was revealed in the area near the cliff.
"Ha, produced by time, it must be a high-quality product."
"Be vigilant." Julian said as he slipped through the gap first.
Then Todd and Hammerstone enter in turn.
The three of them continued to climb on the rocky cliffs, thanks to the blessing of Todd's wind power, their bodies were much lighter, one finger could easily support the entire body hanging, and they could even do hundreds of pull-ups without breaking, so even if they climbed sideways, they didn't have to worry too much about the impact of gravity.
This makes the three of them look extremely vigorous and agile, except that they don't have tails, and they are almost the same as geckos.
As we get closer to the Frost Cliff Path, the difficulty of the action rises to another level. I don't know if it's the ancient people who fought with the guard cavalry before.,The guards here are very tight.,There are monsters patrolling with dogs on the plank road.。
It took the three of them more than an hour patiently to cross a plank road and continue to advance deeper into the city.
"These damn monster dogs, with more sensitive ears than dogs, almost got discovered."
"Alright, stop complaining, look what that is!"
Hammerstone looked down at the center of the city below and muttered, "What the hell is this?" ”
Xu Changqing's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the three people: "It's the door." ”……
