Act 153: The Song of the Mortal World, III
"Vladimir, are you going to interfere in the course of history on the earth?" The voice in the void said. The voice was firm as steel, sonorous and powerful, and although it was only questioning, it felt as if it was denying.
"Honorable Lord Otto, Summoner, Wizard of the Dragon, it depends on how we define what interference, interference? In my opinion, meddling in politics and strife is called interference, we are just collecting precious knowledge and documents, and for thousands of years, we have been collecting knowledge and documents on the earth, which is not an unusual thing. "Vladimir's master who heard this voice - Serrandu, Lord of Otto, Vaynd's strongest wizard, his personality is like his profession, he likes to prepare in advance, always think about the worst in advance, as an old friend for hundreds of years, Vladimir knows this very well, he objected, not really against, but just waiting for a reason that would convince him enough.
Of course, if you lack this reason, then he will most likely feel that you are offending his majesty. Vladimir is not worried about this at all: "In fact, we all know very well that what we really care about in our hearts is the opinion of the Mithril Society, the Mithril Society is indeed strong, but their views can only represent the views of some people, history has taught us many times that strength does not necessarily mean right, and the shortcut to the right is to be cautious, and to maintain a humble and humble attitude, and a correct goal." There's no doubt in my mind that I can do that, and the Mithril Society can't say anything about us. ”
"I agree." Another person's voice came from the void, this voice was low, stern, as if he was always interpreting history, it was the voice of Rosadel, the lord of Winged Lion City, who cherished words like gold, and fell into silence again after saying only these three words.
"I agree." The last voice was a woman's voice. It was the only one of the three voices that could hear emotion, and her owner was clearly excited, his voice was high-pitched and exciting, as if he was ready to set out to carry out the plan. There aren't many women among the twelve wizarding leaders of the Silver Alliance. And there is only one person who is so sensual and emotional, that is, the first person of the Vaulnd elemental envoy who is called the fairy king of mortal dust - Storm Queen Orates.
Together with Vladimir, three of the four had agreed, and Thrantu, who was equally aware of the character of these old friends, fell silent and said no more, and those who knew him well understood that this was a sign of agreement for him.
……
In Amber Sword, the first day of eternal night in the middle of the year of the Spark in history, fell into Vaynd's war tablets, about one-third of which were tablets that passed on the lost knowledge of Babel's fortress. Except for a small number of these fragments that fell directly on the surface and were picked up by chance, most of them directly penetrated the earth's crust and plunged deep into the ground, ruins or deep in the mountains. Finally, there are the various national forces and players on the continent, but generally speaking, these war tablets follow a pattern. That is, the deeper it is buried, the later it is excavated, the more precious the knowledge it transmits.
The precious division of the war slate is also similar to that of equipment, divided into black iron, brass, and silver. Fantasy, antiquity, mythology, but above mythology, there are no inferior artifacts and higher artifact slates. Only the legendary slate and the ancient slate, in the war slate, most of the slate below the fantasy level is a single knowledge and skill, and only the slate above the fantasy level will be inherited into a system of various hidden professions, and even bloodline abilities. As far as Brando knows, most of the slabs excavated before eighteen years ago were below the fantasy level. Eighteen years later, the excavated slabs began to appear ancient and even mythical slabs, and before and after his crossing, the wizards of Buga are said to have unearthed the first legendary slabs.
But there are no exceptions, the exceptions being those war tablets that had been stored in Vaynd before this date. This part of the slate comes from several meteor showers before the eternal night - in fact, it is the slate that came into the world in advance, these slate are extremely rare, and the location of the landing is not fixed, and the war slab that came to the world on the day of eternal night is different, this part of the slate in the world caused by the magic reaction and vision of heaven and earth are usually only seen by people within a few miles or even ten miles of the local area, if there is a town near the slate landing point, it is better to say, if it is in the wilderness, or even in the Black Forest, Often, no one will know that there have been slate falls in the area.
There are also some more precious stone tablets, it is said that they were directly lost to the four elements of the frontier and the earth when the Babel Fortress was destroyed, most of these stone tablets have inherited the most precious knowledge, the most famous of which is the Valkyrie tablet inherited by Freya, the origin of this stone tablet is quite legendary among Eruin and even Cruz players, some people say that it was brought out by the first king Eck from the hall of the kings of the Sanctuary of Fire, and is a relic of Geert, the King of Fire, It is also said that it was originally stored in Eruin, left behind in the twilight of the war, and the argument in favor of this claim is that it was also in Eruin that the place of Aesis' sleep, and not far from the hiding place of the slate.
However, there is another theory that this tablet is not a war tablet, because its appearance is very different from most war tablets, and since Freya obtained this tablet in the game through guò in another way, most players could not get a glimpse of it from her, and later after the death of the Valkyrie, the tablet was also lost, and no one knew its whereabouts. In fact, Brando himself didn't know if the tablet was a war tablet or not, though he knew where it was buried. But he only knew one thing, if you want to talk about the knowledge inherited on this stone tablet, compared to other stone tablets, at least it is also mythical, and he even suspects that it may be a legendary or even ancient level stone tablet.
- If he hadn't seen either of these two slates.
Because the knowledge inherited on this tablet is far stronger than other mythological tablets.
However, there are far more types of war tablets than knowledge tablets, in fact, among the tablets that came to the world on the same day in history, there is another kind of stone tablet, that is, the fragment of rules. This fragment has another scientific name, the Song of Martha, and it probably accounts for as much as two-thirds of the tablets that came to life on the first day of the eternal night. These massive pieces are also known as artificial suns or sun fragments by players. Because the fragments were completely activated at the first moment after they fell to the ground, they rose from all over Vaynd - no matter how deep they fell into the earth - and their light slowly rose into the sky, about thirty kilometers from Vaynd to a mysterious power, each connected to weave a small 'Tiamat' law.
Within the scope of this part of the law. The effects of the eternal night were negated, and Martha's laws and order, shattered by the tide of magic, were restored—albeit on a small scale—so that the sun, sky, and clouds could be seen again. In fact, even in the game, players don't realize the effect of these rule fragments until much later, and like most of the current Vahnder residents, most players at the time only thought that Vajnd had a small solar eclipse, and the only thing they knew more about than the local natives was probably the cause of the eclipse - the once-in-a-millennial Great Tide.
It wasn't until much later that players who traveled far and wide began to notice that the sun and the time it rose and set - and even the state and weather of the seasons - varied greatly from region to region. This difference is different from the regional contrast between day and night and the four seasons caused by the different latitudes and longitudes of the earth. Because it is always known that Vaynd is a world with a round sky, and the sun is nothing but a function of a law, and the sun god Perkin walks in the sky and under the ground day after day, which causes Vaynd's alternation of day and night, so as long as it is within the territory of Vaynd, within the area covered by civilization and order, then the alternation of day and night in any area should be equal. There will be no such thing as Eruin's day equaling Faunzan's night.
But after the eternal night fell, it happened.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the border between Faunzan and the Great Glacier. This junction is located between the junction of two small 'Tiamat' laws with great differences, and as a result, one travels from Faenzan to the Great Glacier to find this happening, but it is only a few dozen miles away, from noon to midnight, and the seasons range from bitter summer to severe winter.
The results of this situation were quickly confirmed by players everywhere. And summarize about 20 regions one by one:
The Central Law of Cruz, the Law of Cloak Bay, the Law of Metz-Ludwig-Evergreen Walkway, and the Law of Anzeruta (the above four are collectively referred to as the Grand Law of Cruz), the Northern Law of St. Osor, and the South of St. Osor. East Madara Law, Luenke-Jiufeng Law Area (this place is overseas south of the Trade Wind Ring, not in the Warnd Mainstream Civilization Area), Faenzan Central Law District, Graysius Law District (east of Faenzan, near the Great Glacier Region), Ten Cities Law Area, North Sea Law Area (between Ellanta, Eruin and Ten Cities), Alkash Mountain Law Area, Elranta Law Area, St. White Prairie Law Area, Nazel Law Area, Cloud Mountain Law Area (east of St. Osor, south of the Great Plains, Close proximity to the Sea of Stars and the White Mountains), the Law of the Dragon Island, the Far East (west of the Great Glacier) and the Far North Law (north of Nazaire).
In addition, there are many fragmentary law zones, which are often extremely small and extremely trivial, and there are many of them, some of them are only the size of a city, and some can be the size of a kingdom, and these large and small law zones usually follow one thing in common, that is, most of the laws of the regions close to the four empires are similar, and the closer they are to the borders of the original civilization, the greater the difference in laws.
Later, the player successively discovered areas that were not shrouded by the law - such as the White Mountain, the northern and western parts of the Holy White Prairie, and other areas, and even many of the original civilization areas, have been completely engulfed by the darkness, and the countries and civilizations in these regions have either been destroyed or migrated, and a large number of monsters have grown in the darkness, encroaching on those areas that still retain rules, which has led to the turmoil and unrest that has lasted for decades and generated a large number of refugees.
Brando has experienced such a thing once in history, so after the eternal night falls, he is the only one among all who knows best what kind of situation the intelligent creatures and civilizations on the Vajnd continent will face next, the impact of the war slate and the advent of the eternal night will not affect the entire Vahnd in a short period of time, but soon, there will be a wave of refugees in various places, and the attacks of monsters will greatly increase, The first area in history to be discovered that did not recover from the darkness was supposed to be a small state south of Cruz, where refugees fled to the east of Anzeruta today due to a wave of monsters, which led to the revelation of this matter.
But Brando doesn't know if history will repeat itself, today's Anzeruta is still under the control of the Gegendiganes, and the refugees may not be discovered at the first time or they may not flee north at all this time, maybe they will enter the Duchy of Manticore, plus the delay in the news that the south is at war, etc., maybe the outbreak of the refugee wave will take a little longer.
However, no matter how he postponed it, he would always come, in fact, he was not very surprised by the current situation, as early as when he and Nimesis got the first war slate in Graystone Town, he realized that the advance of the demon tide and the early arrival of the eternal night, but he didn't expect it to be soon. He quickly ordered the area around Port Fatan to be vigilant against monster attacks, and actively arranged for men to go out of the city to find the fragments of war slabs that had fallen around Port Fatan, most of which could be artificially controlled, including the rule shards.
He was keenly aware of this, and people throughout history would soon discover that the rule fragments found in other regions could be used to refine the rules of their own region, to make them even bigger, like a tinder - and indeed the same goes for the trivial fragments of the law region. And so that's how the turmoil began, because no one wanted to live in the dark, and they couldn't survive, and some of the careerists who had mastered the pieces of the rules, most of them wizards, also began to establish independent states, and it was from this that the continent of the continent in the following decades was full of nations except the four great empires.
At that time, the most brutal wizarding war was triggered, and that war almost brought the entire fire of Vaynd's civilization to the brink of extinguishing, and Brando, as a person who came over, naturally did not want to go through it again, he planned to prepare in advance, and even put aside the war against the Silver Queen first.
The nobles of Fatan Harbor were obviously extremely incomprehensible to his behavior, even including the eldest son of the emperor, but for those exiled nobles in the south who had no knowledge of the previous war of witches, as long as they did not oppose the queen's majesty, they were greatly relieved.
Brando decided to start by collecting several of the most important slate of the war in history near Port Fatan.
But before he could carry out this plan, early the next morning he was about to leave the Baron's Castle when he was stopped by a man:
"The inheritance of the Silver Horse Knight, the dragon skin technique, the Oregal pattern, such an important thing is around Port Fatan, don't you have a little idea," the black-haired female knight leaned against the doorway, one hand supporting the door frame just in the way of Brando, she looked at Brando's face with a smile and meaningful gaze, and asked in a calm tone, "Dear little Brando." ”

(PS: It's a bit of a cardin, but I still insist on writing it, I really don't want to break it anymore, no matter what, I'll always write something.) Yesterday, I mistakenly wrote Solomon, the head of the twelve wizard leaders, as William, mainly because I wrote William earlier, and I didn't turn around and subconsciously wrote it for a while, and I have already changed it. (To be continued......)
