Chapter 823: Explanation

"How far are we from the Canyon of the Dead?" After Song Qingxiao asked again, everyone's eyes on the train were attracted by her and fell on her.

The blonde beauty glanced at her, she was very close to the down-and-out swordsman, and nearly half a meter away from the blue-robed weirdo on the left.

"At the speed of the train, it will take at least twenty-eight hours to ride."

This point of time is not worth mentioning in the blink of an eye for the twelve saints who have a long life.

But as the Moon Sage may have awakened, the power of darkness has spread, and there are so many variables in these twenty-eight hours that it is extremely sad.

"Twenty-eight hours, including the time to travel through the Misty Forest?" Song Qingxiao asked again.

The blonde beauty nodded and answered:

"Although the Misty Forest is very large, after the establishment of the Federation, under the joint detection of all races, a close and safe route has been planned, and with the speed of the energy train, if nothing else, it will be possible to reach the territory of the Valley of the Dead in twenty-eight hours."

"No accident......" Song Qingxiao captured the key information in her words, and the blonde beauty sighed:

"Yes." There was a melancholy look in her green eyes like a lake, and there was a bit of worry in her tone:

"The far left side of the Misty Forest happens to be attached to the Abyss Territory, and since 317 years ago, after we sealed the 'Moon' Sage, his aura has not been extinct."

Because the power of the 'Moon' Sage is already close to that of a god, even with the power of the 'Sun' Sage and the Thirteen Saints, there is no way to kill him completely, and in the end, he can only seal him.

His heart didn't know where he was hiding, and that was the heart of power that gathered his true strength.

And with the 'Moon' Sage being sealed back then, his aura is still nourishing his undead and minions, obviously preparing for his awakening.

"Since 317 years ago, the dark power of the Abyss Territory has been devouring the surrounding territories little by little."

Therefore, the federal government had already issued an order that ordinary residents of the federal government should not go to the Abyss Territory, so as not to be affected by the dark power of the 'Moon Sage', and then give birth to mutations.

"In the beginning, this dark power was affected by the seal, and the speed of spreading was not fast." The blonde beauty looked serious and said:

"But since two hundred years ago, with the passage of time, the power of the seal has also been corrupted by the power of darkness, and the territory of the 'moon' sage has expanded, causing his minions and dark creatures to awaken."

These powers were born under the influence of the dark power of the 'Moon' sage, and they became his faithful followers, and once they became the weather, they could feed back to him, nourishing his soul, consciousness, and power.

The two sides complemented each other, forming an extremely huge force that began to devour the Misty Forest at an extremely fast speed.

"In two hundred years, most of the Misty Forest has been reduced to a territory of darkness."

Over the years, powerful adventurers, guild mercenaries, and others have been hired by the federal government to survey the Misty Forest.

"The situation is very unpromising." The blonde-haired beauty sighed, "A hundred years ago, lord-level dark creatures appeared in the eastern part of the Misty Forest. ”

When the trialists heard this, their faces showed doubt: "Lord-level dark creatures? ”

The purple robe snorted coldly:

"What kind of waste has the Federation raised all these years!"

When the fourth person who asked the question heard his words, there was a hint of lust in his eyes, and the purple robe may have sensed it, but he didn't care, but instead laughed 'hehe':

"I don't even know such common sense as lord-level dark creatures."

The handsome elf frowned, probably because the red-eyed man sat with his eyes leaning against the 'light' faction, and although his appearance did not look pleasing, he still explained aloud:

"Dark creatures are divided into five ranks, which are Common, Warrior, General, Lord, and King."

Song Qingxiao and the others listened to his explanation, and they all kept these materials firmly in their hearts.

Although the elf was a little strange why these 'newcomers' were so lacking in common sense on the mainland, since he had already spoken, he simply went on to say in more detail:

"Generally speaking, once the number of undead creatures derived from the dark territory is too large, the leading creatures will appear as they evolve step by step."

"Just like the setting of the game world, if there are more ordinary mobs, there will be boss-level monsters." No. 3 hangs Erlangdang's opening again.

β€œοΌŸοΌŸοΌŸβ€ The elf had a puzzled look on his face, obviously a little unclear about the game world that No. 3 was talking about, but he understood the words 'If there are too many ordinary monsters, there will be boss-level monsters'.

He didn't delve into what the so-called 'game world' was because he was thinking about the resurrection of the 'moon' sage, and his mind quickly returned to this matter:

"And the lord-level dark creatures have already undergone at least three rounds of evolution."

Song Qing pursed the corners of his lips: "In other words, the eastern part of the Misty Forest has been encroached upon. ”

Evolving step by step from an ordinary dark creature to a lord, it can be seen that it is not a short time before the Misty Forest is eroded by the dark aura.

"Yes." The elf nodded, his expression a little sad: "Even the closer you get to the abyss territory to the east, the stronger that dark aura becomes. ”

He was a little sad:

"The homeland of our tribesmen stationed there has been eroded, and we have no choice but to abandon our homeland and run away, some of them are reluctant to leave their homeland, and then those who insist on staying behind have been affected by the dark aura and have mutated."

"Alasβ€”" The old man with the book sighed long, and tapped the cover of the book he held between his arms with his hand, and his fingertips touched the delicately textured leather, making a soft 'click' sound:

"It is precisely because the Misty Forest has been encroached upon, so we are not sure whether this trip can pass smoothly."

This is also the reason why before the Twelve Saints set out, the Federation sent six novice support.

"The news from the Federation is that a total of six newcomers have been sent, but because the Misty Forest has been trapped by dark creatures for nearly a hundred years, the six newcomers have been divided into two ways."

The train has to pass through the misty forest, there are too many dangers, and there are big changes on the way, so just in case, there are a total of five people sent by the Federation to follow the twelve sages.

This is to prevent the train from entering the misty forest, once it encounters danger, even if someone dies, there will definitely be a certain survival rate for more than five newcomers, increasing the chance of sending a message and saving their lives.

The other person entered the Canyon of the Dead from another direction in a different way.

In this way, it is equivalent to informing Lucifer of the sealing of the 'moon' sage with a double insurance, and no matter which side succeeds, it will be beneficial to them.

"If that's the case, why don't you use the magic circle?"

Number One asked again, and her question was what the rest of the trialists wanted to ask.

This trial world has a magical teleportation array, and what the blonde beauty said before also verifies this.

"If it's somewhere else, of course you can use magic shuttle." The old man shook his head and said:

"But only the Misty Forest, the Abyss Territory, and the Valley of the Dead can't do it."

The magnetic fields in these three places are disordered, the first two are affected by the dark aura, and the magic array originally set in the Misty Forest has long been corrupted by the dark power.

The fluctuation of magic power is most likely to attract some dark creatures of the spell system, "They parasitize on the magic array, change the target and location of the magic teleportation array, and some will even use the magic circle as a parasitic bait to send every adventurer who teleports into the dark abyss or swallow it into their mouths." ”

Although the strength of the Thirteen Saints will not really be devoured by these dark creatures, once entangled, it is very easy to get lost in the misty forest, thus consuming a lot of mana.

They came here to seal the 'Moon' sages, and they didn't want to waste their magic power on these undead minions, so they tried to retain their strength as much as possible, and the 'Moon' sages were the mainstay.

"As for the Canyon of the Dead, ordinary magic doesn't work there." The dragons were driven to the edge of the Canyon of the Dead.

They are the darlings of the Creation God, and their innate dragon magic is a hundred times stronger than the cultivation of human magic.

Affected by the magic power of the dragon clan, ordinary magicians can't exert their due strength there at all, coupled with the harsh environment of the Valley of the Dead, even if the magic array is set up locally, it will be useless.

In other words, relying on the magic array will not work.

Even if you take the train, you can't achieve the ultimate goal, you can only get closer to the destination and then walk to it.

"But once we enter the Misty Forest, if we are unfortunate enough to encounter dark creatures and become entangled by them, we will buy you time to go to the Canyon of the Dead, find Lucifer, and have him come to the Misty Forest to join us."

Speaking of which, the trialists finally sorted things out and understood the identity setting of themselves and others on this trip.

In the eyes of the Twelve Sages, the fact that the Federation was doing this is not very good.

The five newcomers sent to follow them didn't seem to be 'reliable', not only did they not know anything about this mission, but they didn't even understand some basic common sense about the mainland.

Although the prestige of the Thirteen Saints is not as great as that of the two great sages, it is also known to everyone on the mainland.

Every saint here has countless believers on the continent, and they are also outstanding among all ethnic groups.

But the five people in front of them didn't seem to know anything about them, and they didn't even know the level of the dark creatures.

This couldn't help but make the old man a little worried, and he suspected that the five people in front of him probably didn't even have the strength to simply 'send a letter'.

It's just that now, even if he is depressed, there is no turning back.

"According to the itinerary, it is estimated that in three hours at most, we will be within the range of the Misty Forest." As he spoke, his other hand reached through the gap in the sacrificial robes and pulled out a pocket watch hanging from a gold chain:

"In other words, around seven o'clock tonight, we have to be vigilant."

At this point, even if he had begun to doubt the ability of Song Qingxiao and the others, he could only pray that even if these people couldn't fight, at least they wouldn't drag themselves too back.

Fortunately, when Song Qing Xiaocai entered the trial scene, he showed his hand.

The train through the misty forest was made by the special alchemists of the empire because of the influence of the dark aura, and its materials were extremely strong, even a great swordsman-level warrior would be difficult to destroy it, but Song Qingxiao kicked the tables and chairs crookedly with just one kick.

She didn't show a powerful sword aura, so the old man didn't know which rank of warrior to divide her into, but it was certain that she could destroy tables and chairs, at least she had reached the cultivation level of a great sword master.

This is also the reason why the old man was kind to her at the beginning, not only because of his gentle and kind personality, but also because of his affirmation of Song Qingxiao's strength.

"Our arrival will alert these dark creatures."

They are the saints who sealed the 'Moon' Sage, and the undead creatures who are nourished by the dark aura of the 'Moon' Sage will be extremely sensitive to their presence.

In addition, if the previous speculation of the third is true, if part of the consciousness of the 'moon' sage has awakened, under his influence, these dark creatures will feel extremely disgusted by the group.

Once the train enters the depths of the Misty Forest, it is highly likely that it will be sensed by them and attacked by them.

"- In the next time, there may be a vicious fight, everyone should prepare in advance." The old man reminded.

The swordsman sitting beside Song Qingxiao heard this, but silently picked up his long sword, put his forehead against the scabbard, and did not make a sound, but the breath of the whole person seemed to have merged with the sword.

Song Qing nodded slightly, and after a while, he pretended to ask casually:

"317 years ago, there were a total of fourteen people who sealed the 'Moon' sage, right?"

The old man holding the book seemed to realize what she was about to say, his eyes flashed, and he did not make a sound.

Song Qingxiao didn't need him to answer, his complicated expression had already given her an answer.

"Even if Lucifer is found in the Canyon of the Dead, there are only thirteen saints in total."

It is equivalent to sealing the 'moon' sage by one less than 317 years ago, and according to the thirteen saints, more than 300 years later, the strength of the 'moon' sage is much greater than at the beginning.

In the absence of a leader among the Thirteen Saints, can they achieve the ultimate goal and successfully seal the 'Moon' Sage?

Song Qingxiao felt that this was an unknown number.

Her mission requires the acquisition of a pure heart, and this pure heart has nothing to do with the lost heart of the 'moon' sage.

But in any case, since the trial mission made her appear on this train, it will not be for her to run in vain, and it will be known if the pure heart is in the 'moon' sage at that time.

"For 300 years, in addition to him growing, we are also growing, you don't have to worry." The old man smiled, "In the Great Prophecy Technique, the one who finally sealed the 'Moon' Sage is the Thirteen Saints, and there will be no mistake. ”

He seemed to be convinced of the Great Prophecy of the Sage of the Sun, as if he had not thought that the Great Prophecy would also be wrong.

This should have something to do with what the purple robe said before, once the Great Prophecy Technique makes a mistake, the terrible consequences, even the Thirteen Saints can't bear such a result.

Song Qing nodded and stopped speaking.
