"We are on the continent [of Matraktri]? Huh? Isn't this the Endless Archipelago in the Endless Sea? ”

Master Sandri nodded: "If nothing else, the Endless Islands should be the fragmented ruins of the [Matraktri] continent." ”

The master's words made Wutong stunned, listening to the master's meaning, he was not very sure?

"No one knows whether our so-called 'Endless Islands' and 'Endless Sea' are the legendary continent of [Matraktri], because no one knows, Vitim. Angstrom. After returning to the Korvaray Continent, Master Omic summoned the five royal families and the high-ranking beings on the continent, what exactly did he reveal in the meeting held in the [Throne Fortress]"

Master Sandrei's [Whisper of the Dead] fluctuated, and it even carried some wry smiles: "In short, after this secret meeting, Vidim. Angstrom. After a short stay, Master Omic mysteriously disappeared."

The dwarf is extremely mad about the aborigines in "Endless" showing off the long history at every turn, and in his opinion, those inexplicable histories have nothing to do with his games, so there is no need for everyone to understand them, right? As long as a few people in the team know, for example, the mage or one of his subordinates, his task is to kill the monsters in the way, he has hundreds of thousands of super games in this second, how can he know everything in the game in all aspects?

So very impatiently, taking advantage of the master's short pause, the invincible hammer shouted: "Hey, hey! Guru! What does this have to do with us? What does this have to do with this castle? Ahhh You don't want to crook the building, okay? ”

Everyone was in a huge sweat, and was reminded by the dwarves, and found that Master Sandre's crooked building was indeed a little crooked, and after a long time of history, he was stunned that he didn't connect with this so-called [Ella Fortress], Master, you have become an undead creature, and time has lost its meaning, but for us living rookies, time is still very precious!

Master Sandrei was also a little depressed by the impatient rude dwarf, and after "looking" at him, he said, "That's it." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and it seemed that the master was very insistent on finishing the history lesson.

"Although not many people know what the contents of the temporary Five Nations Conference convened by Master Omic in the [Throne Fortress] are, after the Five Nations Conference, with the support of the royal families of various countries and the major professional guilds, the task of exploring the ruins of the [Matraktri] continent has been in full swing."

Master Sandrei still said unhurriedly: "Although the continents that have been explored around the Kovalare Continent include the Elf [Elono] Continent, the Giant [Zeendreek] Continent, the Dragon [Agonison] Continent, and the Human Ancestral Land [Solona] Continent, but the danger of the three continents [Zeendrek], [Argonison], and [Solona] is even more dangerous than the unsuitable North Continent [Frostfall Homeland], and the only [Alonor] continent suitable for survival is the territory of the elves. When the Kovaré continent had been divided among the kingdoms, the expansion of new territories on the ruins of the [Matraktri] continent discovered by the Omic master became the main political trend of the kingdoms during that time. ”

Legend has it that the [Etraktri] continent, which was separated from the [Kovaray] continent, was not originally listed as one of the five continents, but only existed as a large island, and the continent of the gods [Matraktri] was one of the five continents, but in the [Twilight War] between the gods, the [Matraktri] continent could not withstand the power between the gods, and completely shattered and sank, so that in the [Erenor] world, its existence could no longer be found, and [Atraktri] was officially listed as one of the five continents.

(Note 1: Please refer to the [Map of the Five Continents] in this article.) (Note 2: Hokuriku [Frostfall Homeland] is composed entirely of ice and snow, which is equivalent to the North Pole on Earth, and is not suitable for ordinary life, so it is almost a "continent" but is not included in the continents.) There are also North and South poles in the world, so theoretically there should be seven continents and seven oceans. (Note 3: The Lost Continent of the Gods [Matraktri] related content, I haven't considered writing it in this book for the time being, it's too involved, we can't contain it as soon as our brains are divergent, and the existing pit has been dug by me I'm a little scared, and you don't want to see "The Forgotten Realm" appear at the time of the 30 million words, right?) Khan~).

In addition to Wutong still listening to it with relish, everyone else has already begun to do what to do, "good teacher" Master Shanderui will not lose the surname of popular science because of the decrease in the audience, and still teaches people tirelessly and seriously.

"The exploration of the ruins of the [Matraktri] continent was very smooth at first, and the pioneers sent by various countries found all kinds of rare materials and precious mineral deposits on a large number of islands, and then, a large number of ancient ruins were discovered, and the arcane props and technologies that were lost in history also reappeared in the world, and the huge profits attracted a large number of explorers, in order to obtain profits, they resorted to violent excavations, some ruins were destroyed, and some evil creatures that were originally imprisoned in the ruins were released, and chaos began."

As he spoke, Master Sandrei's memory became clearer and clearer, and he didn't care whether anyone was listening to him, and fell into deep memories: "But soon, the members of the pioneer group and the adventure group found that the time passage on the archipelago was not consistent with that of the Kovarray mainland, and the adventure group returning to the Kovaré continent from the islands also noticed that the island they arrived at was not the same."

Looking up at the sycamore, Master Sandri said pointedly: "It is precisely because when the pioneers tried to take a boat to other islands, they found that no matter which direction they drove the boat to the island, they could not find any other islands, as if the island they were on was an isolated island in this vast and endless sea, so the ruins of the [Matraktri] continent have the name 'Endless Archipelago'." ”

Wutong nodded involuntarily, whether it is from the Kovarare continent to the Endless Islands, or from the Endless Islands to the Kovalare continent, or even from a "trial island" to another "trial island", it needs to be connected through a teleportation circle, which increases the chance of a certain force dominating an island.

"You new generation trialists should also be aware of this, right?"

Master Sandrei "looked" at Wutong: "Due to the huge number of the Endless Islands, the recruitment of formal professionals for the development of the islands is insufficient, in order to develop the Endless Islands as soon as possible, the countries and professional guilds have adopted the strategy of sending a large number of professional apprentices to the islands that have been initially explored in the Endless Islands, and further developing the islands in the name of trials, so as to free up formal professionals to explore those unknown islands." ”

Wutong suddenly realized, it turned out that this is the reason why the player was born on the Endless Islands, but he really didn't feel any difference between the time lapse on the Trial Island and the time lapse on the main material plane world, that is, the Kovarare Continent, for them players, it was a time difference of 1:3, and only the time difference on this Endless Island reached 1:10.

"When the official professionals first explored the unknown island, they all teleported through the [Nether Circle] found on the island and left over from ancient times, but the scarce [Nether Circle] could not be used, and only a small amount of personnel could be transported, but large-scale material transportation could not be carried out, and the countries had a great demand for various rare raw materials and mineral deposits produced on the Endless Islands, so in order to speed up and increase the development of the Endless Islands, the countries made a very wrong decision."

Master Sandre's tone became "solemn": "They gathered members of the "Star Whisperer Association", a mysterious organization whose main research direction is astrology, but are extremely proficient in all kinds of magic circles, and used some teleportation circles excavated from the ruins as the main axis center, supplemented by simple magic circles based on the [Nether Circle], to build a huge [Endless Islands Teleportation Circle Network], which is used to connect the Endless Islands and the countries of the Kovare Continent."

After a slight pause, Master Sandrei seemed to be thinking about it, and after a long while, he continued: "Now that I think about it, this may be a conspiracy connived by some people or some forces, but time has passed, and it is no longer possible to track down who the culprit is. ”

"What happened?"

Wutong asked curiously, these secrets are not materials that can be seen in the library of the Austrian Law School.

"Smuggling! Large-scale smuggling! ”

Master Sandrei paused with the deadwood staff in his hand and paused on the shattered stone floor: "The arcane technology of the ancient era, after all, has been lost for too long, and the "Star Whisperer Association", which lacks relevant knowledge and technology, cannot completely control the [Endless Islands Teleportation Array], and this incomplete teleportation array network also hides a huge loophole, that is, it is completely undefended, as long as anyone obtains the right to use a teleportation circle, they can connect to the [Endless Islands Teleportation Array], And enter and exit any teleportation circle at will! ”

How does this sound so much like a light-brain network without a firewall?

"Come to think of it, even you should be able to guess how much chaos a completely unguarded teleportation array network will cause, using the teleportation array network to invade, assassinate important people, smuggle across the border, and smuggle."

"It seems that the road between countries has become smooth. Because of the chaos and losses caused by the teleportation array, the "Star Whisperer Association" that presided over the construction of the [Endless Islands Teleportation Circle] was implicated, a large number of [Star Watcher Warlocks] of the "Star Whisperer Association" were arrested and censored, and a small number of high-level [Star Whisperers] used the teleportation circle technology in their hands to escape, and the teleportation circle network was destroyed and banned, leaving only a small amount in the hands of the royal families and various professional guilds. ”

Wutong opened his mouth wide, he now knew why the "Star Whisperer Association" mission he received on the Trial Island had not been completed, he inquired about the existence of the "Star Whisperer Association", but it was as if this institution had never existed on the Kovarare continent, and he couldn't find any news, and his feelings were given to the river crab by the royal families of the kingdoms.

Seeing Wutong's surprised expression, Master Shanderui nodded slightly: "Of course, it is impossible to completely destroy it, no one knows how many people still have the technology of teleporting the magic array network in their hands, but they have been transferred from the bright surface to the underground, and smuggling and smuggling still exist." ”

took a long breath, and Master Shanderui's recounting made Wutong solve a lot of doubts in his heart, but after a while, Wutong looked at Master Shanderui with resentful eyes, do you dare to crook the building a little more? I haven't gotten to the point yet!

Master Sandrei let out two short waves of undead words, as if laughing "hehe": "You may think I'm verbose? But without understanding these antecedents, you will not be able to understand why we are on the Endless Isle, and where this [Ellarion Fortress] came from! ”

Wutong continued to look at Master Sandrei with resentful eyes: I can understand your enthusiasm for finally finding someone to talk to after lying down for hundreds of years, but do you dare to say it briefly? We're in a dangerous place to die, waiting to finish the main mission and go home, you want to tell a story, can't you wait to make a cup of tea and talk slowly?

"Well, well, young people are really impatient, that's about to happen."

Master Sandrei seemed to find it very interesting to perfunctory Wutong's injured eyes: "I don't know if you found it?" Not only does the Endless Isles pass at a different speed than the main material plane world, but even the islands of the Endless Archipelago themselves are not connected to each other? ”

Wutong nodded, this he found, every trial island seems to be the only isolated island in the vast sea, always shrouded in the sea fog, no matter how you take the boat, you can't find other islands that should be dotted in theory, if you are lucky, you can go back again, if you are unlucky, once you leave the sea around the trial island, and enter the sea fog that is dense like a quilt even on a sunny day, it is very likely that you will get lost in it and never come back.

As early as when I was on the Trials Island, Sycamore had seen some players do this, got some tree trunks tied together, and rowed out very bravely, most of them were resurrected directly from the church on the Trial Island, and a small number disappeared directly, asking them, they didn't know how they hung up, but they didn't know if there were a few lucky ones who had encountered any adventures among the guys who had disappeared.

"This is because the ruins of the [Matraktri] continent do not exist in the [Eberon] main material plane world, and the [dusk war] between the gods directly shattered this god continent and turned it into a large number of space debris, scattered in the [Astral Boundary], [Shadow Realm] and the main material plane."

Wutong's face was black, and he heard a lot of new terms, chatting with the Great Druid, who had all turned into skeletons, the amount of information was too much.

Because he was afraid that Master Sandri would be crooked again, Wutong couldn't help but ask what [Star Boundary] and [Shadow Realm] were**, anyway, these things are still too far away from his level, and now it's in vain to ask, and they can't touch it at all, anyway, Master Sandrei and their group of undead druids have already been kidnapped by him, as long as they are coaxed back to the obsidian collar, everyone will get along day and night, and there will be opportunities to study slowly in the future.

Seeing that Master Shanderui hadn't talked about Qingping Mountain and this castle, the roots of Wutong's teeth were itchy and almost pounced on him to gnaw his bones.

"As for the Endless Island and this [Ella Leone Fortress]"

The master probably sensed Wutong's resentment, and quickly jumped to the part he wanted to hear: "I've already said it before, Vitim. Angstrom. After the Council of the Five Kingdoms, Master Omik stayed in the Kingdom of Kannas for a short time, and then mysteriously disappeared again, but he left a legacy to his disciples - the eternal secret of life! ”

Wutong was stunned, the creatures in "Endless" abound with a very long lifespan, whether it is the dragons who can live for thousands of years at every turn, or the elves and dwarves who are known for their long lifespans, they all live longer than ordinary humans who only have a life of nearly a hundred years.

Although the more powerful the profession, the longer the lifespan, especially the caster of the mage, in the process of increasing their strength, the Ao Neng is also constantly transforming their bodies, so that they can live long enough, so as to have more time to study more esoteric knowledge of the arcane, such as the teacher Zemmour, who is about to pass the age of 889, looking at his lively mental head, Sycamore estimates that he will live another hundred and eighty years without any pressure.

However, no matter how powerful a high-level professional is, the erosion of time on the body is inevitable and reversed, this is a rule that belongs to the core consciousness god, and it is also a rule of nature, how can there be eternal life?

"Are you wondering about the 'eternal refutation'?"

Master Sandrei saw Wutong's doubts, and nodded Wutong with his white finger bones: "You are also a spellcaster, you should know very well that the life span of a spellcaster is very long in the profession, because the caster can use various arcane means to extend his life, but the life that can be extended is limited after all, even the necromancer who is known for playing with life and necromancy is no exception, at most he will live a little longer than the mages of other schools, and it is impossible to reach the eternal state." ”

Sycamore nodded.

"However, you have forgotten the problem that necromancers are known as the 'spokesmen of death in the world', and they have more extreme means than ordinary mages to prolong their lives, such as replacing a body, or simply giving up a body"

The master looked at the sycamore pointedly, because the sycamore has always been the appearance of a necromancer mage, who else can control so many undead creatures besides the necromancer?

Sycamore shuddered, change a body? Snatching? Give up the body? Could it be that you will become a ghost? Well, it doesn't seem impossible to think about it, who can be sure that a mage who is not so different in nature from Frankenstein can't make an artificial body for himself, or simply become a ghost?

"You should know that the mages firmly believe in the 'Soul Immortality Theory', and in their opinion, the decaying skin is just a burden that prevents them from having more time to study, and prolonging their lives through various arcane means is a matter of course for them, no matter what it becomes, it doesn't matter to them."

Master Sandri looked at Wutong: "As your study of the arcane law deepens, maybe one day, you will become like those crazy people, with such strange ideas, right?" ”
