010 Cold Land, Light of Humanity, New Journey (End of Episode 21!)
By the time Li Xiang returned to the base, Yu Zhitong had quietly left with the Ten Legions and her share.
The few people who came to help also boarded the floating boat one after another, no longer mixing with the follow-up finishing things, Bai Ling looked at the earth through the mechanical window of the floating boat, his eyes stayed on Li Xiangxiaosuo's figure, and he didn't move away for a long time.
Bai Micha ate and drank to her heart's content, wiped her mouth, leaned over to her and said with a smile: "Sister Bai Ling, since you are so worried about him, why don't you just stay?"
"After all, we are still members of the Bai family, and we can't leave. Bai Ling shook his head, glanced at her, and responded with a smile, "Since you can't bear it, why don't you stay." ”
"I, how can I be reluctant!" Bai Micha's face was slightly red, and he waved his hand and retreated to the side, "Anyway, we will go to the player base in the cold land together in a few days." ”
"Yes. Bai Ling nodded.
As a prospective player, after the Goddess of Calamity announces the results, he will be gathered together and personally escorted by a level 9 player to the cold land, which is the base of all players on the surface, as long as the player sequence is achieved, you can get a fiefdom, and the prospective players are also there for advanced training, until they are successfully promoted to level 1, and the player support team is assigned before they can leave the cold land and return to other continents.
It didn't take a few days.
Xiao and Kong Mu led an army to attack a certain base in the New Polar Night at night, but the news that they were killed by the Jedi spread all over the player circle.
Lieutenant General Kong, who had just retired, was so angry that he was angry, Kong Mu was his most valued son, and he had reached the level 3 player realm, and the chance of inheriting his mantle in the future was extremely high, but he died in vain.
In order to allow the Kong family to continue its glory and move towards a higher mountaintop, he did not hesitate to break away from the control of the Bai family and devote himself to the name of the Ji family, but in less than half a year, the Kong family was hit one after another.
The talented descendants of the younger generation were slaughtered by Li Xiang, and now even the helmsman of the Mesozoic generation is dead outside.
The Kong family is about to be cut off!
After the vitality is seriously injured, let alone going further, the Kong family will have to rely on the assistance of the Ji family to maintain its current status, and the old Kong Zhong will have to go out of the mountain again to maintain the stability of the family.
I'm afraid it won't be slowed down for decades.
However, when he filed a lawsuit to thoroughly investigate Kong Mu's death, the result was that no other players participated in the war.
The New Polar Night Organization, as well as the Dragon King and the Fairy King from outside, all denied killing Kong Mu.
Katarina, the most authoritative level 9 occult mage in the Katas Zhaofei Council, came forward to confirm this conclusion.
Her mysterious eye can see through all lies, and the results of the investigation are true, which makes the Kong family completely collapse.
At the same time, it also made other families jealous.
Kong Mu is a level 3 player, and it doesn't matter if a group of quasi-players join forces to kill the owl, and then bring Kong Mu, no one will believe it.
It shows that in the new polar night, there are also top combat power that is beyond the rules and is not a player.
Is it a calamity?
But humans can't communicate with the calamity at all, and even those anthropomorphic calamities will not obey the orders of humans to help humans.
Kong Mu's death has become a mystery, but it has also made many forces no longer dare to underestimate this gradually rising new force.
Li Xiang can attract a large number of approved players, and this appeal alone makes people jealous.
The Emerald Forest has also joined the New Polar Night, and the ancient race is willing to leave their habitat to live with humans, which is simply incredible.
But they are the natives of this world, and they have a good relationship with humans, so there are very few opponents.
A week later, things gradually subsided, and in the highest starry sky area, a red line crossed the sky like a rainbow, quickly passing through the rift between continents, all the way south, swooping down.
The seven continents hovered from each other, alternating positions, and the Great Wall of Calamity that wrapped around them clinged to the edge like silk, fending off the calamities of the outer seas.
Although the Seven Continents have been floating and rotating, the Cold Land and the North Continent are the same, one is always on the southernmost side, and the other is always suspended on the northernmost side.
Hanlu is a super continent with an area of 14 million square kilometers, ranking fifth among the seven continents, and larger than the European continent and sea land.
Looking down from the sky, the vast sea and land look like a complete pizza, and the buildings on it are the decorative vegetables and fruits on the pizza.
Since this is the open base for all players, it is forbidden for anyone to leave without permission.
The architecture of the land is varied, and players have built a small colony on their territory according to their preferences, and it is inhabited by the people they have installed, which can be said to be the most coveted and mysterious place for countless non-players.
As the leader of this time, General Othello is a burly figure, and his military uniform is full of various brilliant medals, and he is known as the head of the five tiger generals of the military department.
The other four are Ji Xuexue, Bai Zhun and the two representative bigwigs of the Southern Hawk Faction and the Northern Lion Faction.
He pointed his finger at the splendid castle complex on the top of a black mountain below.
The castle is a magnificent stretch that covers the entire hilltop, and the main buildings are connected by floating arches and auxiliary buildings scattered around the perimeter, as well as a sky bridge.
Each arch is tens of thousands of meters long, and below is the bottomless ravine, the cold wind is blowing, blowing the floating boat, if it is not for this continental-level floating boat has been transformed and reinforced, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand such a terrifying wind in the starry sky area.
And in the starry sky area, you can clearly see this ancient castle community, which shows the height of this black mountain.
Underneath it, there are countless different player bases, inhabited by their teams of players.
"There are a few things to keep in mind. Othello stood in the hall, surrounded by prospective players who had passed the player assessment, "First, you can't trespass on any player base without permission, second, any request to leave the cold land during the period must be reported to the Goddess of Calamity system first, and third, any information about the cold land must not be leaked to other continents. ”
"Yes!" replied in unison to the 228 prospective players present.
Othello nodded in satisfaction, and after entering the cold land border, the floatship immediately lowered its flight altitude and flew towards an archway that stretched out of the main castle building.
At the end of the archway is a huge plaza filled with various continental-class floatboats, which can be called the most luxurious apron.
Around the square, there were nearly a hundred lifelike statues standing in a ring, and Li Xiang saw the figures of the Five Kings, the Night King, and the Polar Night, in addition to this, the Double Moon Lord and the Sky Swallowing Wing King who attacked the lighthouse that day were also among them.
"There are a total of ninety-six giant sculptures here, and they are every level 9 player that has appeared in the human camp so far. Regardless of what happened to them, whether they fell or not, there will always be a statue here for future generations to pay their respects to. ”
Othello sighed.
He was one of them, and he had been brought here by a level 9 being like these would-be players, bowing in front of countless sculptures like them, fantasizing about one day erecting a statue of his own.
Time flies, and in an instant, the old friends around him are almost all dead.
Or die of old age, or go mad, or fall in battle against calamity.
But the imprint they left behind will not disappear, and will live forever in human history like these standing player sculptures.
This is the secret academy for prospective players - the Light of Humanity.
Being able to come here means that you have really come into contact with the core power of the human camp, and you are qualified to know some secret things.
Stepping through this door means that you have truly entered the circle of players, and you have completely broken off from the previous world.
The crowd was solemn.
"Salute, bow. Othello's voice was far away, and after he finished speaking, he took the lead in bowing, followed by the sound of a salute and a bow.
"I'm going to send you here. Othello asked the usher to enter the human light with 228 people, but he stood motionless in the square, "By the way, Li wants to stay first." ”
The others didn't stop, even if they were curious, they didn't dare to show it in front of a level 9 supreme being, and they all ran down the arch towards the ancient castle as fast as they could.
Li Xiang stood alone in the wind.
His gaze was fixed on two very familiar sculptures.
The girl is chic and uninhibited, the young man is silent, one holds a black sword as if everything can be chopped open, and the other sits in front of the mechanical console, not knowing what he is fiddling with.
The sculpture depicts the appearance of these ancestors when they became level 9.
"This is your father, your mother. Othello was not taboo, walked straight up, and said in a loud voice.
The names of these two people are forbidden in other continents, and they can't be mentioned at all.
"Speaking of which, this was the first time I met your mother. At that time, the player assessment was not perfect, and all the cultivation systems were not as systematic as they are now, and each of us was like groping in the dark night, and we could only rely on our own experience and the experience of our teachers to study and move forward. ”
Othello continued.
"Although it has only been a few decades, it seems like a few centuries, which is very emotional. However, the cultivation of becoming a player is a very personal thing, and even if the education system is perfect, it does not necessarily cultivate more players. ”
Li Xiang agrees with this.
Hundreds of years ago, after the arrival of the Goddess of Calamity system and the birth of the first players, the Human Era began to officially enter the era of players.
For hundreds of years, the path of human evolution has not been smooth at all.
The old batch of players died, and new players were born, each relying on their own talent to practice.
If it weren't for the establishment of essentia extraction technology and magic system many years ago, the Human Era would not have changed so much.
There is also the Duke of Sillo's advancement of machinery, which has pushed human civilization forward for several eras.
Even so, with a well-developed education system, the number of players has never been able to break through a large scale.
There were too many surprises.
"So we cherish every player, let them come here to study when they become prospective players, clarify their true obligations, and hope that they can burn the last light for the survival of humanity. ”
This is the original intention of the creation of the light of humanity.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
Where there are human beings, there is struggle, there is the snatching of power, the usurpation of resources, and all kinds of personal emotions.
There are countless examples of player falls.
Some live for power, some work hard for the continuation of the family, and some poison the soul for their own selfishness.
This is the inferiority of human beings.
"The last thing we want is infighting between players, but even at my level, the fighting is endless, let alone you. I don't bother to ask about the specific cause of death of Xiao and Kong Mu, and I hope you can understand a little, I will not interfere with your existence for any reason, whether it is Ji Xue or my daughter, it is not a reason. ”
Othello specially called him here just to show his attitude.
He really treats Zhitong as his daughter, and how Ji Chopping Blood did it, there is no way to be exquisite.
But Othello also made his position clear, and even so, he would not help Ji Chopper and Li Xiang as enemies.
"They're really too narrow compared to you. Othello sneered, "They're underestimating humans, underestimating players, underestimating me." ”
"Thank you, General. Li Xiang bowed slightly, there was no better news than this.
"Don't thank me, you earned it yourself. But I still have to remind you that not all level 9 has the same idea as me. Othello looked at him deeply, then at the sculpture, "I hope that in the future, there will be a sculpture of yours here." ”
"Yes, and it won't come too late. Li Xiang smiled confidently.
The two left with their backs to each other, he ran quickly towards the archway, the mountain wind was howling, and below was an endless abyss, whether it was light or darkness ahead, Li Xiang didn't know, and he didn't want to know.
He has to follow his own path step by step and move towards his own ideals.
At the other end of the arch is the gate of the human light, there is nothing gorgeous to speak of, there is no sign, it is just a simple door, and the usher is also a player, he looked at Li Xiang silently, and then made a gesture of please.
The two of them walked forward, and the usher alone explained to him something about the light of humanity.
"This is a secret training academy, prospective players will conduct a three-month secret training, all teachers are players, will be divided according to the class, the standard of level 1 players is to thoroughly master the basic magic runes, assassination tattoos, the first layer of faith source, in which the magician must learn at least one magic that matches the magic rune, the assassin must learn the first set of assassination techniques, and the guardian needs to thoroughly master the guardian shield. ”
"All players will learn about the calamity in the Human Light, and there is no fighting between the students, no bans, and no leaving the academy until they advance. At the end of the March period, they will go to the territory to choose, officially register with the Goddess of Calamity system, and assign a player support team. ”
After that, enjoy your own player journey. ”
In addition, all Human Faction Contribution Points can be redeemed for player-related items, including magic, assassination skills, and even illager weapons. ”
"The Abbot is the Priestess of Light, Lady Caterina, so please go to the Dean's room after you get acquainted with it. ”
Li Xiang nodded, and when he turned back, the usher had already disappeared.
He looked up, and a petite and familiar black pretty figure sat quietly on a railing, his feet slightly rippling, and his small black leather shoes were over-the-knee stockings, and his eyes looked at the endless abyss below, as if he was distressed about something.
It wasn't until she saw Li Xiang at the door that she showed a bright smile.
The two of them just looked at each other, smiling, and the original oath echoed in their minds at the same time.
"I will become strong with you and become the strongest. ”
The mountain breeze blew across Li Xiang's cheeks, blowing up his black hair, revealing a resolute face, he looked at Ming Xu and stretched out his palm.
The two high-fived each other in the air, and laughter resounded through the abyss.
