Volume 2 The Thousand Worlds and the Complete Continent Chapter 15 The Sixteen Squad
"The Mountains of the Road?" Although Chen Yuan lacked common sense, he had still seen the map of Bai Xiao's Kingdom, and this place name did not appear on the map in his impression.
"To be exact, it should be 'Land Mountains'. The mountains between the roads are nothing more than names formed by the deviations brought about by the transmission. It was a grandeur that was not recorded on the maps of both countries. ”
"Under the impact and squeezing of the distance between the two landmasses, the 'Interland Mountains' have become a skyscraper that separates us from the West Elfa continent, and no one has ever succeeded in climbing over it, and of course, I don't think that is something that can be done by man."
"It's so high that under the 'shelter' of the lighthouse, the squeeze can't go deep, so the power it brings keeps going up, and I don't know how high it is."
"Because of this, even though we have actually merged with the West Alpha Continent, the light of 'Shelter' has never shone on the ground beneath our feet, not even a glimmer of light."
"Speaking of which, because of the disappearance of the 'shelter', Bai Xiao and Dicang have also cooperated to build two towers, but unfortunately, the imitation is only an imitation after all, in addition to being able to suppress the 'black abyss' that came to the earth to a certain extent, the role of the two towers is only a timely warning."
Huff didn't know where to conjure up two brown fruits, and after handing one of them to Chen Yuan, Huff opened his mouth wide and took a big bite on the fruit.
"You should try, really. While the appearance of the snake fruit may not be so reassuring, it does taste good. ”
Dried up the fruit in three or two bites, Chen Yuan sincerely sighed that the teeth of the old man in front of him were really good, not to mention the hard flesh, the peel was quite tough, and Huff actually ate it in a few bites.
"Where's that..."
"That's right, Lighthouse. Because we live outside the 'shelter' for many years, with the passage of time, the lighthouse brand on our body gradually disappears, which is the 'lock' to prevent the power of the lighthouse from being abused. ”
"The combined armies of the various countries of the West Elfa Continent could not withstand the pressure of the lighthouse because of the existence of the 'lock', and even the combined team composed of elite warriors only reached the middle of the lighthouse and was defeated. Under the pressure of unexpectedness, there is not much strength they can exert themselves, and even fighting against a team of high-level monsters of the 'Void' seems a little weak. ”
"It was there that they found traces of the 'Void'. There are three 'voids' that have invaded the West Elfa continent in history, and the strongest of them is the 'Black Abyss', and it is those monsters that pose a threat to us, and their tentacles have never been broken. ”
"There should be a lot of 'legends' on the continent of West Elfa, why don't they..."
Chen Yuan was halfway through speaking, and suddenly remembered the 'oppression' mentioned by Huff earlier, and suddenly had a guess about the answer to his question.
"As you guessed... Since they have made restrictions for fear of being abused by mortals, how can they miss the legends who are already at the peak of their power. ”
"The lighthouse was built with this in mind to prevent all accidents. Legends can ignore the pressure of the lighthouse, but if they try to climb the lighthouse, they will be greeted by the challenge of the entire hidden 'Void', the lighthouse will no longer 'shelter' them, and the passage to the 'Void' will teleport them directly. ”
"Maybe they can defeat a certain number of 'Voids', but in the case of isolation and no supplies, even if they are legends, there will be a time for them to fall in the end."
"So the lighthouse is both a protection for us, and sometimes it can be considered a kind of 'cage', but we don't have a choice, don't we... Thousands of years ago, without the lighthouse, everything would have been annihilated. ”
"The Guardians of the West, who have been in charge of guarding the lighthouse for generations, and the Keykeepers are responsible for burying and preserving all secrets, including those that have occurred in ancient history."
"Although my old friend can enter the core area of the lighthouse, he can't do anything about the 'black abyss' who have already stretched their roots into the lighthouse, so he has no choice but to find me and ask for help."
"Then why not get some help? Whether it is Bai Xiao or Di Cang, as long as the influence is enough, I believe..."
"That's where the tricky part is."
Huff seemed to have anticipated the question Chen Yuan would ask.
"Even though we have lost our 'protection' for too long, we are still continuing the bloodline of the humans of the ancient Alpha Continent, even if it is the same as other races."
"Although the 'lock' on our body is very light, once the quantity and quality increase, we will eventually become like the people on the West Alpha continent, oppressed by the lighthouse to the point that it is difficult to enter."
"To put it simply, we won't be suppressed, but we must keep our overall strength within a reasonable range before it can take effect?"
"Yes. My old friend, after meeting with me, made a rough estimate that if we were to fully exert our strength without being oppressed, we should not have more than thirty people entering the lighthouse. ”
"Because of the old man, this number actually has to be reduced quite a bit. Because of the special situation, Baba brought a small burden, which made our team of sixteen people, and in the case of combining quantity and quality, the current team strength is the best choice within a reasonable range. ”
"Of course, John, you're in surprise."
"Surprise?"
"That's right, surprise. According to the estimation at that time, the old man, I originally planned to invite that third-order elf girl, her bloodline is a little special, and she can bring us a lot of help but also exceed the limit. ”
"But when I saw you, I realized that perhaps, fate is real."
"Earlier, I heard that in the fight against the 'Black Abyss', someone awakened the 'real name'..."
Now that Huff has noticed it, Chen Yuan has no need to hide it: "Luck." ”
"Fluke? No... Your 'true name' is closely related to the 'void', and it makes the 'lock' on you completely disappear. ”
"It's incredible, isn't it, but everything seems so natural to me, your strength is beyond the limit of what the last bit of space can bear, but the first time I saw you, I knew that this was not a problem for you at all."
"When people get old, they become verbose. Forgive me, an old man, for saying so much, John, that's all for today, it's time to rest. ”
Huff seemed to be reminded of some thoughts, and after giving Chen Yuan a certain idea of the core of the 'lighthouse', he ended the lecture, said goodnight and walked down the attic.
Suddenly quieted down, Chen Yuan didn't care, stood up and carefully rolled up the old map that might turn into pieces in the next moment, put it away, and walked slowly around this not big room.
Regarding what happened to him and what he might face later, Chen Yuan chose to ignore it.
Is it useful to think so much? Should be abused is not abused, Chen Yuan has always taken one step at a time, the water in this world is too deep, even a wise man like Huff may not be able to see clearly, why should he bother.
"I didn't expect Huff to have a lot of good things in his collection..."
At first glance, it is full of clutter, but through systematic scanning Chen Yuan, it is found that there are many rare things mixed in the clutter.
Just like the previous maps that were marked as 'rare', there are many 'rare' and even 'legendary' items in the clutter pile that have been passed down from ancient times.
Picking up a 'rare' level wood carving, Chen Yuan could feel that the magic contained in it was still in effect, and once it was fully activated under the operation of the internal magic pattern, it could at least instantly cover the surrounding area with four or five aura effects.
'Huh!' Legends' of the book? Valuables... Hey, it's so expensive, this book is worth 1,600 energy? ”
Chen Yuan was shocked, it was a miracle that a tattered book could recover more than a thousand points of energy, this was already the recycling price of a legendary piece of equipment.
Although the cover of the book is old, Chen Yuan still recognizes the name of the book, 'Ancient Fire Bearer', which seems to be a book related to ancient sequences?
After turning a few pages, there are some missing pages, either a page is missing in the middle, or a page is too corroded to recognize the handwriting on it, but from the limited text, Chen Yuan gradually found the key point of the description of the book.
This is actually a book that depicts the deeds of the first generation of warriors on the ancient Alpha continent against the 'Void'!
In that ancient era, various powerful sequences were developed and widely circulated, and in one of the corners of a certain leaf, Chen Yuan found a piece of information very sharply.
“... At a time when people were already desperate and everything was going to be destroyed, that man stood up... It's like a 'city wall where the sun never sets', and the arc light looks so great under the glorious light of the sky... He stopped the Void in his tracks, I've never seen anyone so strong..."
"He stood in front of the 'void' again... The world has finally recognized his greatness, 'Ash Guard', 'Guardian of the World', he is so celebrated... He represents not only the ashes, but also the unquenched hope of this world..."
"It's him, standing up again... That terrible force even tore the continent apart! Torn into several pieces! If it weren't for the uplifted wall, oh my God... Gone, after that catastrophe, all traces of him were gone, he was invincible, I don't believe he would have fallen in that catastrophe..."
"Maybe that's fate... But we survived, and the legacy continues... One day, the name of 'Guardian of the World' will be lit up..."
"By then....."
A few paragraphs of text are not long, most of them are a third-person statement, and after occupying a page and a half of paper, they can no longer find the relevant content because of the lack of follow-up, and Chen Yuan can only close the book with regret.
Being able to find the past history of the high probability of being his own sequence 'real name' by coincidence, Chen Yuan is already very satisfied, he has been in this world for too short, and some things are to take his time.
Putting the book back in its place, Chen Yuan patted the dust on his hands and turned around and left the attic.
The moonlight shone through the glass into the small attic, and the peace seemed to have never been disturbed.
