Chapter 172: Yun Mengze Spring Miasma (Medium)

"See that plant with three blue leaves on each branch? It's called 'Leaditure', it only grows under the surface of the water that is more than two inches shallow, and as long as you follow it, you won't get stuck in a swamp. Ah Sai said, "Yun Mengze's miasma, deep ze, and demon beasts are three deadly weapons, and I don't know how many people die in this gray water every year." It's still easier to walk now, but after going deep into Yunmengze, I'll have a headache. ”

Jonah nodded. He lifted his foot and took a step, and dropped gently, his boot submerged in the water, held up by the solid mud at the bottom, and the lake was just over an inch deep. This feeling is very wonderful, with the boundless gray water in front of you, and you are walking in the rippling water, like an immortal who crosses the river with a reed in Eastern mythology. The 17-year-old boy couldn't help but take out a piece of dry bread, waved his hand and threw it into the distance, the hard bread fell into the water, bubbling and slowly sinking, at first you could see the bread swirling in the water through the water, and then it sank deeper and deeper, falling into the incomprehensible gray world. "How deep is that water, Asai?" he asked timidly.

"Oh, lo and behold, there is a red torch-shaped flower that grows there, and it is called 'Rootless Fire,' and it is a carnivorous plant suspended in deep water, and can only survive in water above forty yards, and feeds on insects and birds, and the big ones can even swallow cattle and horses alive, but don't come near, Brother Jonah!" replied the Oriental.

The boy sighed: "This is the miracle of the Creator, if it weren't for these plants, there would be no way to tell where the water is deep and where is the shallow!"

Ah Circuit: "It's okay now, once you enter the center of Yunmengze, everything will become messy, these flowers and plants begin to grow around regardless of the occasion, people are groggy, strange ideas keep popping up in their heads, even the compass can't indicate the direction, that's terrifying!"

"Is it some kind of mind-control magic?" Jonah wondered.

Asai laughed, "What kind of magic can envelop such a large area for thousands of years, so how powerful a magician can make it? I heard that this phenomenon is because of the dragon." ”

"Ah, that's right!" Jonah was stunned for a moment, "I read about the 'Dragon Graveyard' in the Geographical Estimation of the East Great Road: The Fourteenth Year of Tianwu Lite, dragons are long-lived magical creatures, but they also die from injuries and magical backlash, and before they die, they will fly back to this cemetery, bury their most beloved treasures, and fall into a deep sleep on the treasure pile...... Could it be that the Dragon Graveyard is in the middle of Yunmengze?"

The Oriental shrugged: "Some people guessed that the resentment of the dead dragon had accumulated for thousands of years, turning into a miasma throughout the year and a terrifying force that affected people's minds. But no one has ever really found the cemetery, and after all, the waters are constantly changing, and it's impossible to even draw a map!"

Jonah nodded.

The figure of Long Shenlu walked in front, and the shadow was long and reflected on the surface of the lake, looking small and lonely. The colorful miasma in the sky fluttered like a light veil, dyeing the sunlight strangely, splashing the footsteps, and the metallic blue leaves of the dragon grass trembled slightly and bounced the water droplets down. This was the second hour after they set off, and Yun Mengze had already surrounded the three of them from all directions, no matter which direction they looked at, there was only a vast gray water surface of smoke and waves, as if the whole world did not exist, and there were only three of them in heaven and earth. It is impossible to grasp time here, because the sunlight is obscured by miasma, and it is impossible to judge the speed of progress, because there is no reference to refer to.

“...... Assai, that ......"

"Brother Jonah......

Suddenly, the two of them spoke at the same time, and as soon as the words came out, the two looked at each other and laughed. "Say it first, Assai. Jonah straightened the hat on his head and smiled a little sheepishly.

"Tell me first, I don't have anything important, I just want to ask you a question. The Oriental man had a smile on his lips and his teeth were white and bright.

The 17-year-old said, "I want to ask about dragons. Nothing of the books I've read mention dragons, and the three Geographical Calculations are informative reference books, but they always avoid talking about the history of dragons, as if there was some taboo. ”

Asai said in surprise: "So you don't know anything about the two ancient wars?"

"Ahh

The Oriental pouted and said: "You can't say that, after all, you are a member of the Five Great Guilds, and you have received orthodox education since childhood, and the Astrology Association will definitely not tell you the truth, after all, the history of mankind is written by human beings, and it is not wrong to do so...... Let me tell you a little bit about it. The first ancient war involved the seven main gods, and the authenticity is difficult to verify, but the second ancient war was different, it determined the entire pattern of the current world. The war took place in the magical age of elves, humans, dragons, monsters, and the undead, and it was arguably the best of times, and it was also the worst of times... The four continents have formed a considerable degree of human civilization, at that time the world was very stable, human countries scattered all over the continent, living a primitive agricultural life, the prototype of the Holy Episcopal Church of God Blessing has been produced, is gradually unifying the folk worship of the seven main gods, forming a strong sectarian force; , pearls, and gems in exchange for the protection of the dragon. ”

"Is the so-called Dragon Worship Cult related to the worship of ancient dragons?" Jonah interjected.

"Quite possibly. "The growth of the Anglican Church is the trigger for war, and according to the Bible, the world was created by the Creator and the seven main gods govern the world, which completely denies the dragon's dominance over the world, and causes the wrath of the old-fashioned." The war began between two small countries with different doctrines, and then intensified, engulfing the entire continent, and as the war progressed, the world gradually divided into two forces: the Holy Entente Front, which was based in the Western and Southern Continents, composed of the Anglican forces, the Western Dragons, the Tagu Monsters, and the Undead Spirits, and the Holy Entente Front, which controlled the Eastern and Northern Continents, and was composed of dragon worshippers, Eastern dragons, The Elemental Elves formed an alliance with the Primordial Gnomes (a race that was nearly wiped out in the Second Ancient War, and the Floreans of Ecbatana, now the volcanic nation of the Southern Continent, are the impure descendants of the Primordial Gnomes). The Holy Entente and the Arian Alliance also have Cyclops, Red Demons, Dryads, and other long-forgotten names, and no one knows the appearance and characteristics of these races until now. ”

"'Tree City' Iryan, that's the name of a city on the northern continent. Jonah said.

"Yes, Irion is the home of the Elemental Elves, one of the largest, exquisite, and most beautiful cities in the world. The Oriental affirmed.

The astrologer frowned, "But why do the Western Dragons help the Anglicans? ”

"That's because the Western Dragons and the Eastern Dragons have always been at odds with each other, and although they are of the same origin, they have hated each other for a long time. The Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon, Red Bronze Dragon, Brass Dragon, Bronze Dragon, Red Dragon, and Green Dragon in the West and the Dragon, Jiaolong, Kui Dragon, Ying Dragon, Yellow Dragon, and Black Dragon in the East can be said to be natural rivals, but they usually only operate in their respective spheres of influence...... The Episcopal Church promised to worship the Western Dragon as the eighth deity, forever engraved the golden dragon on the orthographic cross, which made the foolish Western Dragons decide to help them win the war. Asai said leisurely, looking up at the sky, as if there was a dragon flying over the multicolored miasma at this moment, "The second ancient war has been fought for hundreds of years, whether it is dragons, humans or other races, the vitality is greatly damaged, and finally the moment of decisive battle has come, in the northern continent, the eastern black dragon lord Obersolom led the last combined forces of the Irion Alliance to defeat the army of the Holy Entente, and the two sides signed the "Continental Secession Agreement" in Erien, which determined the pattern of the entire world. After this battle, the number of dragons plummeted to one percent of the pre-war level, and the Black Dragon Lord Obosolom was devastated and demanded that the various races that survived the war recuperate and hand over the world stage to humans. As the victorious side, the Eastern Dragons and the Elemental Elves gained a land with a pleasant climate, four distinct seasons, and abundant products, that is, the northern continent at that time. The defeated Western Dragons, Tagu Monsters, and Undead Spirits were banished to the vicinity of the Sea of Divine Blessing, and were not allowed to interfere with the development of humanity in any way, and the primitive religion that worshiped the dragon would be the only faith of mankind. ...... But we all know that the world is not like that today. ”

"What happened next?" Jonah said nervously.

Ah Sai took a long breath and said, "It's all a scam. The Holy Entente Front deliberately sacrificed millions of lives in order to sacrifice souls and activate the mysterious dragon magic 'The Last Aurora'. In just a few minutes, the entire northern continent was swept away by the cold aurora, life was gone, the landscape changed, the victors became losers, the promised land with abundant water and grass turned into a frozen hell, and only a very small number of eastern dragons and elves escaped. At that time, the disheartened black dragon lord Obosolom was hovering in the southern continent, and luckily escaped, the angry black dragon king spewed flames and flew to the west, and found that the Anglican Church, which had been enduring for many years, had fully taken over the western continent, and was slaughtering the western dragons hiding one after another, and the humans had mastered the power of the seven artifacts, and the warriors with the engraved seals of the gods could even be defeated by the dragons. This is also the first time that artifacts have appeared in the history books, and I suspect that their appearance is also related to the dragon magic 'The Last Aurora'. ”

"I see. I...... I don't want to hear it anymore. Jonah finally spoke.
