Terra 775, January 16.

The New Year's holiday has passed, but it is better to say that this era has not been too accustomed to the so-called seven-day holiday, everyone does not have to work but is idle, people in the city may still be able to gather to chat and play games, while the people in the mountains can only continue their tasks.

A team of mountain people is moving forward in the core area of the Bisson Mountains at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, a vast plain of ice and snow.

The Byson Snow Dome was once – at least a plateau during the pre-Epoch civilization.

At a time when Terra wasn't the only continent on the planet, it was a distant island on another plate, and the Bison Mountains were the result of a plate collision.

Because of the catastrophe of the skyfall, the plateau collapsed, the mountains fell, the continent sank in the monstrous waves of roaring filial piety, and the Baisen Mountains rose again under the impact of that impact.

The plateau that had been in the past has become a mountain peak.

Even the mountains around the equator have snow, and at a high altitude, there is frost everywhere, but the snow top is different, and the snow here may be the result of thousands of years of accumulation, but more often it is the remnants of a fifth-level true dragon precipitation.

Even mountain dwellers don't want to come to such a place, and the occasional search for resources is dangerous enough.

But because of the orders of the 'dragon gods', they have been trekking through this vast snowfield for more than three months.

If it weren't for the fact that each of them was piloting exoskeleton armor and had enough elemental crystallization to power the furnace, it would have been an astonishing determination to have this kind of exploration for three days - but even with such specialized equipment, they would have to go back every five or six days to recharge.

This kind of exploration process can be called boring, there are no enemies, no accidents, just the ubiquitous and eternal ice wind, and the process of waiting for the silver-white progress bar to be charged little by little after fixing the 'detection device'.

Originating from the town hall, the detector is said to detect all the dragon's blood in the vicinity by placing it down and charging it - as long as the detector is placed in chunks bit by bit, they can sweep out the remnants of a real dragon in the same way as a minesweeper.

It's just that no one expected that this thing would take two days to recharge.

For two days, there were no monsters—most of them would rather have monsters attacking, so that it could be more exciting—and there were no enemies, so they could only sit next to the device and 'wait' and 'collect data', and there was no scenery around, only a vast sea of snow.

Thankfully, there's also Plants vs. Warcraft.

Yes, Plants vs. Warcraft.

Plants vs. Warcraft is a war chess strategy game developed by Xiahui Leader City Hall, the game takes place in a territory that has been attacked by the creatures of the Flying Flame Land, where many dragon's blood plants grow, and the survivors cultivate dragon's blood plants to fight against a steady stream of corrupted monsters, and in the constant battle to find new dragon's blood plant seeds, the survivors will find other companions to protect their homes - and at the same time, gradually discover the source of the Corrupted Monster's lair......

It's cool, but it's actually just a tower defense game with a pixel color block and another pixel color block, and the performance of the Canaan Moore terminal can only support this far.

But for the Terra, it's pretty cool, even unbelievable.

While waiting for the probe to be charged, the explorers relied on plants vs. monsters to pass the time, and they used this game to test the length of the level, try the least cost to pass, try all kinds of completely different combinations, and learn to find a way to find the longest in infinite mode.

Although the game is fun, playing for three or four months in a row can obviously have an indelible impact on the human spirit.

"Ah, I realize!"

In the midst of the snow and ice, a mountain man suddenly had an epiphany when the sun rose for the hundredth time: "Look, isn't this nut the wall of our city?" ”

】

"These cherry and potato mines are traps, fortifications or other defensive measures in our city!"

"Those sunflowers, glow-in-the-dark and lonely, are our logistics...... Corn cannons and other pea shooters, aren't they our alchemical artillery and soldiers! ”

"I see, Lord Lord, with such a simple game to teach us the basics of war...... The Flamelands are powerful and have the power to attack, so we can only defend passively, dealing with their wave after wave of attacks, or countering their sneak attacks straight into our hinterland! ”

"Isn't that what we're doing right now? Originally, I didn't quite understand that the adults were not expanding the city area recently, but constantly strengthening the old city, all in order to deal with the upcoming Flying Flame Land raid! ”

"Ugh." His companion, another mountain man, tactfully reminded the friend who seemed to have learned in the snow: "It's written in these newspapers. The article "War Is Near" in the second weekly of December 774 was carried out in the second week. ”

"I've seen it." The enlightened mountain people were glorious, and he laughed: "But didn't you understand it before?" Now I understand! ”

"Sure enough, you still have to experience it yourself to understand!"

Games are such things, they can simulate some 'false things', but instead remind people of some real truth and logic.

But in fact, there is still some truth, and by the time it is understood, it may be a little late.

For example, don't make a loud noise on a snowy mountain.

Not even if you are enlightened.

Rumble...... Boom Boom!

In the horrified retrospection, a loud sound like a continuous thunder echoed in mid-air, large clouds of ice and snow mixed with solid ice toppled down the hillside, and a tsunami-like snow rush to swallow the mountaineers' teams and sounding instruments, and then ......

The keel cliff behind it looms in the shape of a curled dragon.

After getting the news, Yin En, who led the team to the rescue as soon as possible, first rescued a few lucky and unlucky people who were buried in the snow.

Thankfully, they were wearing exoskeleton armor, otherwise they would have died long ago.

After being rescued, Yin Eun's eyes burned to the place where the Ice Meng Dragon Bone was.

"Finally found you."

What is more regrettable and natural is that Bing Menglong had already released all his power between heaven and earth before he died, turning into endless wind and frost between heaven and earth.

Therefore, there was nothing left in its remains except for the solid and indestructible body of steady ice bones.

But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

The entire snow dome is the cemetery of the Ice Dragon, and its body is the center of the natural field of this land, in other words, the Ice Dragon used its life to create an extremely rare 'High Spirit Zone', and under the thick ice, there are countless ores and ices alienated by the power of the dragon.

What's more, Yin En didn't plan to dismantle the remains of the Ice Menglong, he was now an ally of Dragon Island, so he directly called Dragon Island and asked them to send the dragon over to recover it.

And in return, Dragon Island will also provide Yin Eun with some of the things he wants, some more precious materials.

Some materials that can be used to break through the fourth energy level and even perfect the fourth level of the arcane path.

"It's a good place."

Yin En said to Scott and Roland, who were climbing with him and now had some altitude sickness, and Theo, who was spreading his arms and feeling the cold wind: "This can be used as a new 'holy place'!" ”

It's not that the original Ganggang Holy Mountain is not impossible, but Yin En must make a distinction, he can't clearly let all the mountain people believe in himself and believe in the 'dragon' behind him, but the smart mountain people have realized that even if Yin En is a real dragon god messenger, what he wants is definitely not just the belief of the dragon god.

Therefore, the smartest mountain people have begun to obey the propaganda of the Cult of the Spirits, and of course, there are also some who have chosen to rebel against Yin Eun, and the previous chiefs and priests who intended to reshape the belief in the dragon god are all smart people.

They were well aware of the significance of culture and tradition, and knew that if all this was rewritten by Yin Eun, then the mountain people would lose their particularity, and gradually become an appendage of the Xia Hui Leader from an independent civilized nation.

Become a 'Silver Peak Man'.

Yin Eun didn't think they were wrong, but who made the mountain people too weak and could only choose him as the leader? That's the price. Yoon will lead them out of poverty and into abundance, at the cost of losing herself.

Or even the loss of the 'Holy Land'.

"In the memo, the future sect headquarters of the Cult of Spiritual Worship can be built here, and there is such an abundance of natural psionic fields here...... You can even let the elves live here! ”

Yin Enke has not forgotten those hot water goblins in his hometown, although the other party has almost become the sewer cleaner of the Sequoia base (they claim to be the king of the underground water domain), but the Sequoia base does not have a very stable gathering place of psionic fields except for the crystal lake.

And the Crystal Lake is the territory of the Crystal Dragon, although Frost Butterfly has canonized Qingtong as the general of the Crystal Lake, but it may be okay to leave some goblins to stay in Nanling, they are really all nested in the Sequoia base, and Yin En is not easy to take care of.

"I just don't know if the goblins are willing to change from hot water goblins to ice goblins again...... Leave him alone, just ask first. ”

Yin En shook his head slightly, anyway, he had chosen the place, and there should be goblins who were willing to come to Daxueding to play.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at the keel of the Bingmeng Dragon, and then thought of the true dragon who could be lonely in the Xenomorph Research Institute, chatting with the echo for hundreds of years.

"It can make this lonely place lively, and if Bing Menglong knows, he will be very happy."

Scott, who was on the side, heard Yin Eun's self-talk, and couldn't help but look at his lord with incredible eyes—and when Yin Eun realized that he had spoken his true thoughts in his heart because of the Fairy Heart, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "What, don't you think this kind of thing doesn't look like me?" ”

"Not really, I can always feel what's going on in your heart, my lord."

The Iron Folk touched his chin, and he thought of an analogy: "But this time you are willing to say it, which means that you are more confident, and it also means ...... In the past, you were so cautious that you had to think twice before you could say something. ”

"And now, as our territory develops better and better, and your strength grows stronger and stronger, you don't have to disguise yourself."

"Be cautious...... Disguise. Yin Eun chewed on the sentence, then smiled: "That's true. ”

Now is not the day when he needs to hide everything, and now, his prophet has been revealed, and the identity of the disciple of Fudo Jiancheng has also been revealed, and what is hidden is nothing more than the existence of the Star God Gift.

But even with this identity, as long as 'Mahdi' is still on Dragon Island for a day, the Terra kingdoms will not turn their attention to 'Yin Eun'.

"So that's freedom?"

With some emotion, Yin En has to admit that he is indeed not very good at disguise. His intelligence, strength, and character were not good at caring about aspects that he did not bother to hide, but was forced to do so in order to survive.

But now...... Everything is back on track.

"That's good."

For some reason, Yin suddenly became in a good mood, and soon, as a makeshift camp was set up on top of the snow, he began to negotiate with Roland and Theo about the construction of the 'Cult of Spirituality'.

The so-called Holy Land, in Terra, is not simply a 'holy place', it must be the core of a place of psionic energy, with a large number of inscriptions inside, forming a huge 'psionic fortress'.

This fortress must have the ability to shelter the cultists, train successors, fight the enemy, and reserve key resources.

In addition to this, it must also have some extraordinary holy deeds - such as the whole body of the steel stone of the sacred mountain of steel and the fire of the dragon god.

In this way, the holy place is the holy place.

Fortunately, Daxueding Dragon Bone Peak (Yin Eungang's name) fully meets the conditions.

Originally, with Xia Huiling's current productivity, there was no way to build a holy land without supplementing the agricultural building and helping the mountain people rebuild the gathering place and open up the wasteland—not to mention that Yin En was still expanding the alchemy park and using four mountain mines by the way.

If it weren't for the fact that Terra's Heart was in charge of most of the simple and repetitive resource allocation and related calculations, everyone would probably still be writing a draft right now.

But Yin Eun didn't expect to be able to do this completely on his own territory.

"Do you think the King of the Mountain will agree?"

Yin En asked Theo, and Theo, who had been digesting the harvest of the Xenomorph Research Institute recently, thought about it and replied confidently, "I don't know!" ”

"However, if you really return the bones of the Ice Dragon to Dragon Island, then it will definitely not be a problem for Mom to help you dig a hole in the mountain that can be stuffed into a super building, anyway, it is nothing more than to build a hole the size of a dragon's nest, and it will only be a few months at most."

Saying this, Theo put his arm around Yin Eun's shoulders rather brotherly and laughed, "It's a big deal that you ask me for help!" Absolutely free and no pay! ”

"I'm afraid you'll dig up the mountain." Yoon Eun-yi is righteous.

In fact, it is an exaggeration that Xiou will dig up the mountain, and it is also an exaggeration in a few months, and the infrastructure construction will be completed in a week at most with the power of the fourth energy level of the king of the mountain.

However, considering that Yin Eun's request is very delicate, it is indeed possible that a few months will be ...... But the most important thing is that Yin Eun wants to use this matter to vaguely tie up the king of the mountain.

When the king of the mountain refuses, it is not too late to entrust Theo, anyway, as Theo said, she doesn't want to be paid.

It was also when Yin Eun was discussing the specific architectural drawings and construction details with Roland and Xiou.

Maybe it's also an outbreak of luck related to the Cult of Souls.

In the Xia Hui collar, another unexpected good thing is happening.

This thing has to do with Loren.

Loren has been here for a long time since he got Yoon Eun's permission to enter the Xiahui Leader Sublimator Training Camp last summer.

At first, Loren felt a little inferior to his identity.

It is true that he has awakened his psionic energy out of his reverence for Lord Yoon, but this psionic energy has not shown any special power so far, and although the Lord has always told him that his psionic ability is a necessary 'element' for the new era in the future, Loren is actually quite apprehensive in his heart.

He hoped that he could show that he could help the adults immediately, but it backfired.

But the good thing is that everyone in the camp is very nice.

Now, Loren has overcome the restraint and shyness when he first entered the training camp, as well as the vague inferiority complex in his heart, whether it is a familiar classmate mentor or a stranger, he can communicate with them smoothly, introduce himself confidently and humbly, and calmly face the despair and sadness of his past.

He would even show off his craft by weaving some flower crowns for his familiar friends, smiling and chatting with them about his recent life.

It was only after this that Loren was a little surprised to discover that not all of the sublimators in the Xiahui Leader Training Camp were actually the sons of nobles or knights, but there were many children of ordinary people, descendants of merchants, and even refugees from the Western Frontier - this was very different from the sublimator training camp he imagined.

He thought he was just a poor child.

Because of Loren's excellent grades in cultural classes, he even became the representative of cultural classes, and became an outstanding student in that semester, and since then, even some old classmates who have been a little complacent because of their early training have begun to respect Loren.

In the past six months, they marched together in the mountains, rowed against the river together, meditated together, gritted their teeth together to carry out strength training that oppressed the human body to the limit, ate delicious school meals together, and teamed up to deal with dangerous monsters......

In the Xia Hui Ling training camp, Loren can eat eggs every day. More than one, more than two, if it weren't for the fact that he would have eaten as much as he wanted, if it weren't for the high cholesterol.

At first, Loren was just happy about it.

But when he really integrated into this training camp and completely integrated into the order of Xia Hui's leader, he was in his position, and suddenly cried bitterly at the egg in his hand.

And no one laughed at him. Too many people in the training camp have also felt this inexplicable sadness, a sadness that reflects the endless hardships of the past because of joy and happiness. On that day, Loren received several hugs and a friend who was willing to listen to him talk about his past sufferings.

That friend's name was Miles, a tall Westerner. He is usually silent but reliable, and he is a representative of martial arts in the training camp, and his swordsmanship is very good.

He also had psionic powers, and he also had things he wanted to talk about, and after Loren told him about his past, he slowly told Loren his story.

It's about psionics, it's about labs, it's about the Grand Duke and the Empire, it's about the Flamelands and the Calamity...... Death, pain, the death of all loved ones, loved ones, people who are concerned and want to hug, and finally the departure.

Listening to this friend's story, Loren went from shock at the beginning, to self-shame halfway, to a faint realization at the end.

The shock was that Miles had never spoken to anyone else about his past before, and everyone thought he was just an ordinary refugee from the West, all the way to the Glow, and nothing more.

Who would have thought that he would come out of the Azure City where no one survived, and the Avak Territory that had turned into a dead realm?

I am ashamed because of how 'small' his pain and despair are compared to Miles, who came out of hell with the despair and resentment of his hometown, while he ......

No.

Thinking of this, Loren somewhat understood.

My own pain is the same as Miles's pain. It is not because one side only involves the family, and the other side involves a city, a whole territory, it can be divided into high and low.

Could it be that the indignation that a loved one is dying and that he is powerless is not comparable to the despair of the destruction of his homeland? Delicious food and fun games may be able to distinguish between high and low, but the despair in everyone's heart cannot be compared.

Their suffering is all from the mistakes of this world, the Flamelands, the Empire, the Ascensions, the Psionics, all the people who should be able to do something, but don't.

"We're all the same." At that time, Miles whispered, "We have all awakened our psionic powers because of the despair of powerlessness, only to recall the pain again after gaining power, imagining 'If only I had the strength and knowledge I have now.'" ”

"It's inevitable regret, imagine it...... How I wanted to go back in time with this strength and save my mother and Aunt Lydia's family. ”

"But I can't. We can't do it. ”

Loren...... You're the same age as my sister. ”

The purple-haired swordsman said softly, "If I were you, I would definitely be more uncomfortable than you, so if you want to cry, just cry." ”

"No, thank you, Brother Miles."

After understanding why he wanted to cry, Loren didn't want to cry anymore.

He's just lonely, just unwilling.

I just feel that I have begun to be happy, but my grandmother can't enjoy all this.

I have obviously begun to grow up and begin to become an excellent child, I can earn points for her, so that she can live with peace of mind and enjoy the fragrance of moonflowers...... But she was still in the laboratory room, waiting for death.

This unwillingness, this powerlessness, this pain made him at a loss.

Fortunately, he is not alone.

Loren finally understood—it was only after he chose to follow the adults that he finally understood the meaning of his faith in this world.

I won't be alone in the future. Master Yoon, Myers, his friends, all his teachers and classmates, have gradually become one with him.

He is no longer alone, and he understands why people come together to become classmates and friends.

Because he was a leader of the glow, they fell in love with the land from the bottom of their hearts.

They all chose to gather under Yin Eun Silverpeak......

Become a Prophet's People.
