Chapter 11: The Legend
The divine realm, the world's good name for Anchum Mountain, ignorant people think that the divine realm is in the sky, but the fact is the opposite, the divine realm has always existed in the world, but no one can see it, at this time in the highest place of Anchum Mountain, in a small garden, a man wearing a golden crown and a white robe is slowly stroking a small flower, when the man's hand leaves the small flower, the small flower withered, the man reached out again to touch the small flower, let the little flower bloom. As the man's hand left the flower, the flower became more and more languishing, and the man finally withdrew his hand and stared blankly at the flower.
"Father, the city of Ore has fallen, the Holy King of Ore is missing, and the seal of the plague dragon Smirno has been broken!" a young voice sounded behind the man.
"What should come will come, Menbank, my son, you still know too little, the former kings of the underworld have long since returned from the abyss, and they still want to unite to release the dark lord, and the Nether is probably already full of plagues and demons. Seeing the flowers fall to the ground, the man said to squat down and pick up the flowers, but the flowers did not return to their original state.
"Then what to do, father, or I will gather all the messengers and send them into hell and the abyss. The young voice said eagerly.
"These are just small things, the more terrifying existence is not yet lurking, we can't deal with it, the more we intervene, the faster the world will collapse, and you think too simply. The man said as he put the withered flowers back into the flowers, and in the eyes of the young figure behind them, all the flowers had withered.
"However, you are the god of light revered by the world, if you don't save the Nether Realm then who else can, Father, not let those ancient demons run rampant!" the young figure was anxious and took a step forward.
"So what, you see I can't even save this flower, if we intervene, things will be worse than you think, the four gods of the Age of God, now there are only two left, unless the other two are resurrected, it will only get darker and darker, let it be, my son. After the God of Light finished speaking, he lowered his body and fiddled with his flowers, and the young figure behind him felt trembling, but he was helpless.
"I'll step back first, father. The young figure bent slightly and walked away quickly, and Lotto looked sideways at the distant figure and sighed.
"After living for so long, you are still too young to live as a human being who can only live for 200 years. The god of light waved his hand at the withered words, and all the flowers immediately returned to their original fullness.
Ma Chen and the four of them have also entered the trough of the last stream, originally outside the trough they felt very cold inside, and when they walked in, they realized that the outside was like a stove, and it was almost bitterly cold here, but they saw that the boss seemed to be fine, he didn't shiver from the cold, and he didn't see ice slag on his face.
"I said, boss,...... Why don't you think ...... Do you feel cold?" Heavy Wing's face was already covered with frost, and he reached out to flick his mustache, which immediately crumbled to slag and fell to the ground.
"The necromancy here is only for outsiders, it is harmless to us, and I have lived here for twenty years, and I am an old friend here, bear with me, young man, this road will not be very long. The boss looked ahead and said, the necro here kept passing over them, making a few outsiders feel very weird, but the boss looked very comfortable.
"That'...... I knew it earlier...... I'm not coming in, six...... Six times the price is not ...... Is it worth it, can it ...... Go back. Heavy Wing walked a few steps faster and asked next to the boss.
"Of course you can, but you have to pay attention to yourself, this is not better than you are in that town, you can't get out if you want to. The boss said and pushed aside the branches in front of him, and Chongyi was stunned for a moment and retreated to the back of the team to follow, it was already so difficult to get out of the dense fog yesterday, let alone this source.
And Ma Chen on the side was also a person who didn't feel cold among several people, and He Lei behind him also noticed that the necromancer did not pass through Ma Chen, or even avoided it directly, which made him feel very strange, and carefully reached out to touch Ma Chen's shoulder.
"Prince, what's wrong?" asked Ma Chen, looking sideways, without any ice slag on his face, and without shivering from the cold.
"How are you feeling, Ma Chen?" asked He Lei as best he could.
"It's really wicked, it's a little cold, but it's not like Heavy Wing. Ma Chen shuddered as he spoke, and then laughed, as if trying to unravel the gradually frozen atmosphere.
"I'll just say, I don't feel like it...... Something is wrong, the necromancy did not go...... Touch you, you...... You, of course, are not cold. The heavy wing in the back spoke.
Ma Chen looked around him, only to find that when those necromancers wandered around him, they bypassed, and none of the necromancers passed through him, he glanced back at the people behind him, the three people behind him all had ice slag on their faces, and they couldn't stop trembling, even Xu Du, who was a paladin.
"Do you know, the Creatures, have you heard the legends of this race?" the boss who was walking in front suddenly asked.
"Half human and half soul, everyone in this world knows it, but I haven't heard of legends, is there still a legend in this race?" asked Ma Chen.
The boss shook his head, took out his pipe and bit it in his mouth, he took a hard puff and said: " Each race has its own legends, even us humans are no exception, after the Great War twenty years ago, many people are tight-lipped about the past, just afraid of being hunted down by the Empire, anyway, this is not the territory of the Empire now, I'll tell you, the living soul race is said to be a cursed race, their first appearance was in the mountains near the Ezerys swamp, compared to us, their intelligence is higher, but also because of their half-human, half-soul physique, their lifespan is shorter, some people say that they are not real people, they used to be gods, but because of mistakes, they were blocked by power, so they became half-human and half-soul, the most amazing thing is not their physique, but the place where they live, there were mercenaries who thought that there were treasures hidden there, and went there in droves to look for them, but only two came back, one also died soon after, the whole person dried up, the wizards said that his soul disappeared completely, it was the soul depletion caused by external forces, and the other lived for a long time and then died, like the people before him, until he died, he kept silent about the place where he went, until the day he died, he said two words to his family, do you know what he said?”
"Old ...... Boss, don't be dumb...... Dumb riddle, it's not funny, just point to ...... Go ahead. Shivering from the cold, the heavy wings wrapped around his cloak, but it was of no use.
The boss knew that the deeper he went into the valley, the more necromantic there would be, just to divert the attention of the young men who were biting by the cold, so he continued: "He only told his son two words, Chaos, his son didn't understand what he meant, so he set up a team of mercenaries himself, and when he was fifty years old, he decided to explore there, when the living people no longer lived on that high mountain, but they sealed it with magic. With the help of a member of the Soul Clan, they entered the depths of the mountain, only to realize what his father was telling him, that there was nothingness, but that there was an invisible power hidden in the void, and that those who entered were torn apart. Fortunately, he had a premonition in advance, and from the beginning he stood in a place where it was easy to escape, but when something happened, he escaped as quickly as possible, and his people were buried inside, and when he left there, he announced the matter to the world, and the living soul clan was not angry because of his recklessness, but sealed it again, and no one ever had the idea of fighting there again. ”
"Boss, you tell me about this...... It's useless, we won't go ......" Chongyi said and sneezed here, but Xu Du in front frowned, his eyes looked at Ma Chen in front.
"We paladins have studied the truth of this legend, but no one can enter the mountain without the help of the living people, and in the process of researching, we have discovered another thing. Boss, do you think that invisible force is caused by the necromancers?" Xu Du spoke, still looking at the necromantic spirits who had bypassed Ma Chen, they kept shuttling around, and wherever they passed were either frozen or withered.
"I don't know, my father used to be a royal guard, protecting the mages who specialized in all kinds of magic circles, and they also studied that legend, but no matter what, only the living races can enter the interior of that mountain, and other races will be torn apart as soon as they enter**. My father told me that the mages thought that the shredding ** was just an illusion, and that it was the soul that was torn apart, because that force did not recognize those outsiders, which may also be the reason why the two people who escaped finally withered and the souls also disappeared. The boss stopped, and Ma Chen, who was observing the surrounding necromancers, crashed into him.
"Here we are. The boss put away his pipe, picked up the lamp hanging on his waist, took out the fire crystal and lit it, and when the lamp came on, the fog around him became much thinner.
Ma Chen glanced around, and his heart suddenly shook, this place he was very familiar with, he had only seen it yesterday, this is the scene he saw in the gray illusion yesterday, there were miserable white trees on both sides, these trees looked to have withered, and there was not a single leaf, and in front of the five people, the thin smoke was converging into a human form, and walked towards them.
"The four martyrdom have been brought, my king!" the boss knelt down towards the figure, and the figure waved his hand, and the boss immediately stood up and stepped back, and the four looked back at the boss with his head down, and then looked back at the figure in front of him.
When the boss couldn't see anyone at all, the figure waved his hand again, and the dense fog around the four of them disappeared in an instant, and the sun shone down from the sky, making the four of them feel a lot warmer, and the figure half-knelt on the ground, and a thick accent sounded from the figure: "Mo Benen, the king of Gekazhen, has seen all the prophets here!"
