（263...... 084...... 458...... Book friend skirt, if you want to come, join the group. P.S. Friends who have passed by ask for collections and recommendations, and your support is my biggest motivation. Also, it's good for everyone to give more opinions, thank you)

"The origin of the matter is simple. Mina's voice was deep, and although the lingua franca was used incoherently, it did not affect the understanding of her words. "Three months ago, a group of adventurers from Rhea discovered an anomaly while exploring deep into the Sigh Desert, and Kyle and Nelly were among them. ”

"Yes, that's the team Nelly and I lead. Kyle picked up the conversation, "We were commissioned to find a clue to a Second Age ruin on the edge of the Earth's Wounds. However, as we approached the wound of the earth in the center of the desert, countless undead spirits poured out from within the wound of the earth like a tide. There are too many undead, skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, skeleton mages, bone monsters, resentful spirits, banshees, bone knights, ordinary black iron bronze level undead, mixed with countless silver and gold level undead, and even a large number of legendary undead. While Nelly and I weren't afraid of the undead, the rest of the team couldn't, so we had to evacuate with the others or they would die. ”

"Can't you two join forces to protect the people around you?" someone asked suspiciously.

Kyle sighed, recalling the situation, "How many legends are there in the entire Yara world? Not counting the Sea Clan, there are only eight hundred and seventy-three people who are known. However, when encountered, there were more than three hundred legendary-level undead alone, and tens of thousands of undead of various levels under the legend were constantly squeezing towards the defensive circle. It's very simple for Nelly and me to rush out, and it's possible to kill them all slowly, but it's too difficult to protect the people around you, and in the end, you can only let Nelly use the inherent spiritual realm to take others out. We moved twenty kilometers with the others before we were temporarily freed from the undead pursuit. ”

Seeing everyone's unconscious frowning, Kyle continued: "Everyone should know about what happened later, and after we came back, we informed the high-level leaders of various countries about the matter as soon as possible, and each country began to be vigilant. But it's a pity that everyone's movements are too slow, and in less than a month and a half, the group of undead have poured out of the Sighing Desert, and not in one direction, the land of sand in the south, the Lost Forest in the north, and the orc grassland in the southwest have undead gushing out. Fortunately, the other directions are blocked by steep mountains, otherwise the impact is even greater. ”

"Of course, the victimized countries immediately dispatched their armies to exterminate the undead, but unfortunately, the fighting has not stopped since the beginning of the engagement. All kinds of undead rushed out of the desert without interruption, without even an interruption of an hour. ”

"It's been another month and a half now, and in the past forty days, the number of undead has been increasing every day. Although a defensive line has now been established around the Desert of Sighs, a large number of warriors are being lost every day. If this situation does not change, sooner or later the power of the living beings will be exhausted by the dead. But, until now, I have seen no signs of the situation changing, so I now suspect that the whole Desert of Sighs may have been filled with undead. ”

The first time they heard Kyle mention his guess, everyone was surprised, and the goblins were the first to ask: "Impossible, if hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert are full of undead, wouldn't it cost at least tens of millions? God, it's about to catch up with the population of the entire continent." ”

"Maybe it's not that exaggerated, but I think it's better to be pessimistic, otherwise I can't explain the current situation, so many are eliminated every day, but the total number of undead has not decreased in the slightest. The most hateful thing is the black fog that appears with the undead, which makes people unable to scout from the air. ”

"So, I wrote to invite everyone to come here and prepare to rush in, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, to find a way to solve the problem at the root, otherwise the living beings will not be able to withstand such attrition. I also invited the Guardians, and I think they should know a little bit more about the situation. ”

"Your guess is correct. The hood made it impossible to see Mina's expression, but her golden eyes were full of solemnity: "The Sigh Desert is indeed full of undead. Not only that, but every day in the future, a large number of undead will rush out from the center of the Earth Wound until the undead fill every corner of the earth. ”

No one spoke, everyone waited in silence for Mina's explanation.

"All of you are demigods, and you are all qualified to know some secrets. Do you know the truth about the Desert of Sighs?" Glancing around, Mina didn't expect anyone to answer, "The Desert of Sighs is not as simple as you think. ”

"You've all heard Yara's song, and I heard you singing it just now. A large part of that song is true. As early as the First Age, the Sighing Desert was the center of the continent, and it was also the most energetic place on the entire continent, and it was the richest place on the continent, so it was also the most prosperous place on the continent. ”

"There is the largest city, the densest population, the largest number of temples, the richest produce. At least before the War of the Godslayers. At that time, the abundance of goods fed a huge population that you could not imagine, and then, hundreds of millions of warriors, and many gods, died here. ”

"That's right, the Sighing Desert is the main battlefield of the First Age God-Killing War, and it is also the place where the corpses of the entire continent are most concentrated. Because of the abundant energy, it is difficult for the bones to decay, which leaves a hidden danger now. ”

"By the Second Age, after tens of thousands of years, the thick soil had completely covered the entire Sigh Desert, and it had become fertile soil again. Because of its location in the center of the continent and its abundance of energy, the goblins have chosen it as the center of their empire. The entire race of goblins, at the end of the Second Age, where more than a fifth of the population was concentrated, and then, under divine punishment, died here. ”

"By the Tertiary period, the land here was not so fertile, so the various tribes did not build large cities here. However, unfortunately, because of the still abundant energy, the main battlefield of the War of the Gods in the Third Age is here. Once again, countless gods have fallen here, and once again, countless living beings have died here. ”

"In the War of the Gods, the collision of divine powers tore the entire continent to pieces. After the Father's will came, the continent was repaired. But because this is the main battlefield, the too violent energy collision caused hundreds of thousands of square miles of land to be blown into several pieces and flew into another space. In the words you know, it was the explosion of the whole land into another world. Even with the power of the Father, he could not pull this land back to the Yara world from another dimension, so he had to use the few remaining fragments as a foundation to recreate a piece of land to fill the original gap. Because time is too short, this area has not yet been assimilated into the world of Yara, so you will see now that the Sigh Desert is out of place with other places, no plants, no water, no oases, no life, nothing, only a great rift in the center, where it is the will of God the Father that mends the land. ”

"Originally, everything had been normal, but I didn't expect that the fragmented continent would come back. ”

"What? it's not scientific at all!" Dilly the manticore-tailed tail flicked around in surprise: "Such a big piece of land, just go, come when you say? It's a different space, this is not to go to the Feather Mountain Range to hang out, how can it be so casual?"

"The will to return to one's homeland cannot be shaken by anyone, not even the dead. Glancing at Dilly a little strangely, Mina whispered, "Like you, don't you want to go home too?"

"I?ha, haha, I don't want to go home at all. The manticore was stunned for a moment, and laughed dryly in defense.

"Don't brag. ”

"Legend has it that the manticore-tailed lion that appeared underground ran to the surface world, and when he couldn't find a home, he bragged that he didn't want to go home. ”

"Twenty years ago, I don't know who it was, rolling in the forest and crying and saying I wanted to go home. ”

The manticore glared at the winged sisters, and lay on the ground with their heads in their front paws, pretending not to hear anything.

"Lady Mina, we don't doubt you, but it's hard for us to understand, because the undead want to go home, they can bring a continent back from another world, and, if they do come back, what will happen to the current Sigh Desert, what will happen to the Yara continent?"

"Actually, that continent can't come back, and the boundaries of space are not so easy to break. However, for reasons that have not yet been clarified, a small hole has been opened in the barrier of space, which happens to open to the space where the continent is located. As a result, the two continents of the same origin began to pull each other, bringing the two spaces infinitely closer. The current situation is that the alien space has been attached to our main world, of course, this attachment will not have any effect on us, but through the small hole, the dead have returned home. ”

"However, even if there are a large number of corpses of the three ages concentrated there, there should not be so many undead. Kyle continued, "After all, there is still a certain proportion and requirement for the generation of undead. ”

"The specific situation that happened on that continent, we dragon clans are also guessing. Mina wasn't completely sure, and replied with a little hesitation: "That continent should be scattered with some fragments of divine souls after the fall of the gods. If in Yara it wouldn't be a problem, but over there...... God the Father once said that there is a completely blank void, and there are a large number of dead, too pure dead world, too pure dead will gathered, maybe a certain piece of soul fragment is activated, and the activated soul fragment instinctively devours other fragments to make their soul complete, but because the source of the fragment is too messy, it can never become a real soul. Therefore, according to the speculation of our clan, it is the will of the dead that a new crippled god in charge of death has been born, and the power of the gods has awakened the sleeping dead. Because the deity itself is awakened by the consciousness of the deceased, whether he is conscious or not, he will constantly give feedback to the deceased about the call of resurrection. ”

"Are all your speculations?" the old orc asked suddenly.

"Yes, just speculation. Mina nodded: "However, it is the only reasonable explanation that can be made after concentrating the entire dragon clan and eliminating a lot of speculation." ”

"So, what do we need to do if we want to get to the root of the problem? Close the passage?" Kyle remembered the purpose of his trip.

"Closing the passage is a solution, although I don't know what the reason for the passage appeared in the first place, but it took thousands of years for such a passage to appear, and it should continue to be safe for thousands of years after closing it. But this is only an estimate, and it is possible that the channel will reappear in decades and hundreds of years. Therefore, the most fundamental way is to go through the passage to the opposite world and kill the other party, which can ensure that such a disaster will not happen again. ”

Kyle frowned and muttered, "If we go to the opposite side, it means that we will face tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of the undead, including countless legends, and maybe even a large number of demigods. And then, possibly the more ancient, the dead made from the corpses of the first creatures tainted with divinity, and eventually, a newborn god in charge of death?"

"No, not gods. The filthy body of the deceased cannot carry the divine soul of the gods, so in the end, it is not the gods that are faced, but only the divine souls. Mina's voice was very serious: "But even so, it's still very, very dangerous, and I don't recommend you to go there." ”

"You, don't suggest," we "go over?" Kyle asked rhetorically, word for word, "That is, no matter what choice we make, you are going to pass?"

"Yes, as long as I can see the other party, even if I can't kill him, I have a way to hit him hard, at that time he wants to recover, it is impossible without the accumulation of ten thousand years of time. In this way, without the support of his power, the undead who return will return to the earth. ”

"What's the solution?" Kyle asked, in detail.

"If I don't have a chance to kill him, I'll remove my own protection and attract him to snatch my body. An unprotected ** is the biggest ** for the soul. At the same time as he comes, I will blow myself up, which will inflict heavy damage on unprotected spirits. Mina's voice was very calm, as if it was not herself who was about to die: "This method has been used by the ancestors of the dragon clan on the spirit of a fallen god in the distant past, and it is absolutely feasible. Of course, as a being, I don't want to die, so I suggest, or rather ask you, to wait for me at the entrance of the passage for fifteen days. Fifteen days later, if I don't return, you seal the passage and inform the dragons of the news. ”

"It's underestimated. Kyle took Nelly's hand back and turned his gaze to the knight beside him.

"yes, underestimated. Nelly pulled her long hair and smiled, "Mina-sama, I'm sorry, I can't accept your request." ”

"All I can do to leave a lady alone in danger while I hide in a safe place and watch her face death is to put a seal on her grave?" Kyle raised his head, his body straight like a javelin, and his face filled with indescribable pride and conceit, "If I did that, what else would I be qualified to be regarded as the proud perfect human of the human race?"

"You two ......" Mina's voice choked, feeling like something was blocking her chest.

"It's not the two of us. Kyle's smile was as bright as the sun: "I wrote it clearly in my letter to everyone, and when I come here, I have to make arrangements for the aftermath in advance, so everyone comes with the determination to die, I don't believe you look back at everyone." ”

Mina turned her head suspiciously, and found that the campfire behind her had been artificially extinguished, and everyone was packing up. When her gaze crossed over everyone, all she saw was calm, the calm of fearless life and death.

"The surname Kim, which has been passed down for nearly 10,000 years from the middle of the Tertiary Period to the present, has never been disgraced by cowardice and cowardice, and if I retreat, I am no longer qualified to wield my hammer and steel tongs. The stout dwarf said.

"I have a sister who, if I die here, will be the new Elven Queen. The slender elf plucked the bowstring.

"We sandmen are the safest, and the undead can't kill the yellow sand beneath the ground, so I'll never die. "A cloud of quicksand moving slowly on the sand.

"Wherever Sister Nelly goes, we'll go. "Even if we die, there will soon be a new light and dark twin in the clan, so we are not willful and do not think about our clansmen. "The twins of light and darkness spread their wings,

"Ancestors will not accept the return of a soul who is afraid of challenges, and we orcs will always be fearless. The old orc helped the young orc to his feet.

"Is there really a soul from the First Age who is sleeping there? On the fingertips of the black-robed mage, the flames condensed into a living skeleton.

"Can I not go?" "If you dare not go, little Carat, don't think that we will cooperate with you to deceive people in the future." "They all said that I was in business, not a lie. And I'm not called Little Carat. Okay okay, when I didn't say. ”

"Woo, I want to go home, Woohoo. The strange lion was still lying on the ground with its head in its hands, as if it had not heard everyone's conversation at all.

"Look. Kyle smiled and spread his hands, "That's everyone's opinion." ”

"You guys!" Mina's golden gaze flashed, "You think about it, each of you may die, and no one is exempt. ”

"Of course we will die, who can not die?" Kyle held Nelly's hand tightened again, his face glowing, "But what is the difference between losing our glory and courage for fear of death, even if we can live forever, and the undead of the walking dead?" ”
