Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Twisted Plane
A gentle breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples, and the breeze quickly swept through everyone's faces, blowing their hair and cloaks, bringing a gentle and moist breath, and the sound of the green dragon slowly reached everyone's ears. "Dragons are almost the same age as Wallis, and a few days after Wallis was created by the Creator, dragons were also created as guardians of Wallis, and there were three kinds of dragons at that time, red dragons, blue dragons, and green dragons like me, and as time went on, other species began to multiply in Wallis, and the dragon's role became smaller and smaller, and many dragons gradually died in later years, and they did not leave any more offspring. ”
"Why don't they continue to multiply?" Fern listened attentively, raising his chin.
"Because our responsibilities are becoming less and less important, then there is no need to continue to exist in large numbers in Wallis, and we practice self-extermination. Iyeta's eyes looked at the mercenary, causing Fern to feel nervous.
"Self-extermination? Miruria unconsciously leaned towards the warrior.
"Dragons are different from you humans, we are completely unselfish, and Vallis's sole consideration is everything, so this is nothing. Iyeta's tone softened. "But evil still exists, so there are still some dragons who choose to remain in this world, but there are very few of them. ”
"The green dragon of Zunjin, you didn't mention the black dragon when you said that Wallis was created, so how did those evil dragons appear?" Nigel was much more respectful than the other three.
"It's the work of the Dark Lord, he's so powerful, the dragon has been in Wallis much longer than the Dark Lord, but it's vulnerable to him, many of the surviving dragons have been captured by him and forced to start laying eggs again, and we haven't had a baby for almost thousands of years. Iyeta sighed, and the breath that blew up all the fallen leaves on the ground. "I don't know what method the Dark Lord used to create a kind of hatching pool, in this pool hatched young dragons all lost the color of their parents, and became completely black, and now, they can continue to reproduce the next generation, those who don't need the hatching pool are already black dragons, but the dark tide still follows the original method of the dark lord, still soaking the eggs in the hatching pool, it is said that this will make the young dragons stronger. ”
"Damn, the Lord of the Dark is so hateful that he should persecute the guardian of Wallis like this. Enoch's angry head flared up.
"So, unless the Dark Lord is completely destroyed, the tragedy of the Black Dragon will never go away?" Fern's eyes were full of sympathy.
"Yes, of course, there is another way, which is to destroy all the dragons that exist in Wallis, no matter how powerful the dark lord is, he will not be able to create dragons out of thin air. The green dragon's tone remained calm, as if death was just a normal thing for her.
Everyone was silent, and the two methods Iyeta had said seemed impossible, and the green dragon's huge eyes swept over the four of them. "Okay, now that you understand the origin of the black dragon, now let's talk about what you want to do next, you must be curious why you can't see the black dragon here at all, but there is such a forest that is completely different from the surrounding environment. ”
"Yes, Honorable Guardian, please tell us why. Nigel asked respectfully.
The green dragon's body moved underwater, as if preparing to stand up. "Because the Black Dragon's hatching pool is not in the plane we are on now, in order to hide this ugly crime, the Dark Tide has hidden the hatching pool in a place between two normal planes, which you can call the warped plane. ”
"Just hearing the name is scary enough. Fern's brow furrowed, already anticipating what they were about to face.
There was a hint of a smile in the green dragon's voice. "Everything in the warped plane is abnormal, space and time are distorted, and people who know how to use the warped plane can travel back and forth between two places that are far apart, and it only takes half a day or less. ”
"Two places far apart......" Fern mused, as he suddenly thought of the sap of the rubber trees in Valdosta Castle. "Could it be that Adeline already knows how to use the warped plane? In that case, she probably already knew that the hatchery was on the warped plane, and she must have known that there was this forest in Blackridge Mountain, and ...... You. The mercenary looked at the green dragon, who had already raised his head.
"Adeline? I know she, one of the great sages of humanity, would be amazing if she could truly see the secrets of the warped plane. Iyeta propped herself up on the ground with her two front paws and slowly moved forward, her underwater body creeping up to the shore.
Enoch watched in amazement as the green dragon's huge body hidden under the water slowly emerged, and he didn't forget to ask the crucial question. "So how can we distort the plane and destroy the hatchery now?"
"That's why I'm here, or rather, why I'm alive. Iyeta had crawled out of the lake, her huge figure crouching in front of everyone. "The reason why Darktide didn't capture me and distort the plane is because I can open a passage between the two planes so that they can send the black dragon to this plane to fight the humans. ”
"What?! It's so hateful, I can't let Gloody's plan succeed. Enoch clenched his fists, his face flushed.
Fern thought for a moment and voiced his doubts, "Then why don't you destroy this passage? If you can open it, you must be able to destroy it too." ”
"Wallis also has other dragons that can open this passage...... Or people, even in the Dark Tide, there are demon mages with this strength, so all I can do is listen to them for the time being, waiting for someone who can go to the warped plane to destroy the hatching pool. ”
"So, you've been waiting for us?" Fern thought of Adeline's words again, only they could accomplish the task.
"That's right, I believe you are the ones I was waiting for, and now, you are finally here, and my mission is finally complete. Iyeta's voice began to grow mournful.
Nigel heard something from the Green Dragon's words. "Is your mission accomplished? Are you ready to sacrifice yourself?"
"Our clan should have left this world a long time ago, if we had left earlier, there would be no tragedy of the black dragon, we are too greedy for this world. Iyeta shook her head slightly, the pale green fluff on her chin swaying.
"You just need to get us there, there's no need to sacrifice yourself. Fern took a step forward and looked earnestly into the green dragon's eyes.
Iyeta just let out a breath and looked at the sky that was already getting darker, and didn't answer the mercenary's words. "It's going to get dark, and I won't be able to open the passage until it's completely dark, where you don't have to worry about going hungry or sleeping, because there's no time in the Twisted Plane, so you'll never feel hungry or drowsy, but the battle will still tire you. The green dragon looked at the crowd again. "Now, are you ready?"
"We're ready, just waiting for you to open the passage for us. Nigel held his head up, letting the wind blow his hair up.
Enoch thought for a moment. "So how do we get back to our world from there?"
"I will be watching you on this plane, and although I cannot help you, my mana allows me to know if you have succeeded or failed, and if you do, I will open the passage again to bring you back to this plane. Iyeta looked at the warrior and replied slowly.
"And what if we fail?" asked Miruria, timidly beside the warrior.
"Then you will stay there, either alive or dead, forever. The green dragon's voice also seemed to be mixed with helplessness.
"There is no turning back. Enoch looked at the scout. "I'm sorry, Miruria, for dragging you in with me. ”
"No, Enoch, I'm willing to follow you anywhere, even if it's a warped plane. The scout looked at the warrior steadfastly.
Fern looked at the two of them, remembering Ness and Quiai, and suddenly he felt that he might never see them again, and the mercenary's heart was filled with sadness, but then he was ashamed that he had thought of both girls at the same time.
Nigel still looked indifferent, just looking at the green dragon with serious and serious eyes.
The dreary atmosphere didn't last long, and when it was completely dark, Iyeta broke the silence. "Is the time up, can we begin?"
Nigel turned back to confirm with his companions, and everyone nodded silently in response. "Yes, we're ready, please get started. ”
"Very well, I will break the barrier between this world and the warped plane, and you will only feel darkness around you, perhaps, some cold, but this feeling will not last long, and soon, you will get there. The green dragon swung its massive head, and an unusual whirlwind began to blow around it. "When you reach the warped plane, you will randomly appear somewhere around here, and it is up to you to find the location of the hatching pool, but it is certain that it must still be within the range of Blackridge Mountain, but in another plane. ”
The whirlwind surrounded everyone and gradually devoured them, everyone subconsciously covered their eyes, and everyone nervously clenched their weapons. Suddenly, a darkness enveloped them, this darkness was not the same as the night, but the darkness that could not be seen, as if the whole world was filled with black ink, oppressive and without gaps, and at the same time, there was a chill. Then, Fern felt the ground beneath his feet disappear, and the whole person fell down in an instant, as if there was no end. Gradually, Fern felt his consciousness blur more and more, and in the darkness and rapid descent, he lost consciousness.
