Volume 54: Stereoscopic Maps

Through a conversation between the two humans, Fang Nuo learns that the witch is investigating the inside story of the chaos that took place 11 years ago.

Noka accidentally saw the clues that the witch had gathered, and he had a sense of déjà vu for one of the portraits above.

Moreover, as the (former) acting instructor of the village church school, he had his own opinions on the calamities of the past, and thought that he might be able to help, so he stayed in the hut "with a dead face".

At this moment, the witch, who was no longer silent, stood up, pulled out a folded piece of paper from the pile of materials on the table, shook it into the air, and it suddenly unfolded automatically, revealing its true face.

That's a map.

Unlike the ancient map that Fang Nuo had accidentally turned over from the pages of his book the previous night, it was exceptionally new, and its surface was glowing with light from the indoor light source.

The witch flattened it in the air, and as soon as she let go of her hand, it hovered in mid-air, instead of following common sense and falling to the ground under the gravity of the planet.

The various colored tiles representing a certain area also gradually stabilize as it floats, and depending on the altitude of the region, it is raised or forms a depression.

In this way, it changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, and the eyes of one man and one beast on the sofa not far away were straight.

"Miracle Creation......" Fang Nuo immediately judged in his heart.

From his vantage point, he saw a long green shadow on the three-dimensional map, which must have been the Xuancai Mountain Range where they were at this time, but he could not tell the location of the mountain village, the Huangxian Ridge, or the "end of the stone wall".

Fang Nuo narrowed his eyes vigorously, hoping to see more details on the map from his current vantage point.

But after a while, he felt that his actions were meaningless, and if he did not come forward to observe, then he would have blinded his eyes here, and he would not find anything.

Seeing that the human with his hands close to his back was still stunned, he stomped his foot violently, stepped on the opponent's thigh, and took advantage of the opponent's time to react, twisted the ankle joint, as if he had stabbed a blunt object into the human body and deliberately turned around, just to make the other party feel unbearable.

Although, with his size, he can't cause serious damage at all, and he can only bring back the thoughts of humans who are looking at the three-dimensional map.

"Ouch." Noka suddenly came back to his senses, looked down at the beast's urging gaze, and then glanced up at the three-dimensional map and the witch standing behind him.

He reacted for a few more moments before he jumped up from the couch like a spring, and walked a little briskly to the witch.

Fang Nuo hooked the fabric of his pants in the area of his knee with his claws in time, and thus hung on him, and he carried it, naturally closing the distance between himself and the map.

Then, Fang Nuo climbed onto the human shoulder, looking down at the "miracle creation" below, and at the same time searched his mind for the image of the ancient map he had browsed last night, trying to make a comparison between the two of them.

The terrain of the Xuancai Mountains varies greatly, from peaks reaching into the sky (with a few virtual clouds floating above the three-dimensional map), basins below sea level, lakes surrounded by mountains, and, of course, mountains and valleys that form the main veins of the mountains at a slower level than the highest peaks.

Huangxian Ridge was just one of several ridges in the Xuancai Mountains, and Fang Nuo could barely find the location of his hometown through a little gray color faintly visible in the vast greenery, that is, the approximate location of the "end stone wall".

Well, the mountain village should be in ......

"Our village, in the middle of the world, is only such a tiny point...... No, you don't even need to be labeled. Noka's voice came from Fang Nuo's side, and the human sighed and sighed.

The location of the "mountain village" was not marked on the map at all—Noka's exclamation saved Fangno the effort of finding it.

Later, Fang Nuo realized that the "miracle creation" in front of him, although it was refreshing, was still flawed in itself—it was most likely the work of humans, and the so-called "forest" was actually just a piece of greenery, with no indication of which part was deciduous and which part was "evergreen".

Not to mention the "Eternal Trace Tree" that was put on the lips of the monsters born in the dark forest, and on this three-dimensional map, it is mixed in with the green, just like other trees.

"Humans can't go deep into the interior of the Dark Forest, and most of the areas on this map that belong to the Xuancai Forest are actually dependent on their imagination, not entirely based on reality."

Unlike most of the Xuancai Mountains, which belong to the "unknown zone", the places on the map that humans can set foot on are "marked with large marks", which are full of details, so that the creatures who view the map can fully feel the sincerity of the maker.

If you lean over the high raised or concave color patches on the map, there will be interesting flower characters popping up on them, floating above the corresponding area, sometimes blurred, sometimes clear.

Fang Nuo tried his best not to be drawn to the dark green mountains that were most prominent on the map, and instead looked beyond the mountains.

Around the map, there was a circle of inky blue gradients to light blue, an ocean he had never seen before.

Moving his gaze from the area representing them to the mainland, he immediately saw the harbor, and the small fishing boats with white sails used to decorate the three-dimensional map, as well as other ships scattered in the blue sea near the mainland.

Together, they form a port city near the sea, which is a different human territory from the "mountain village", which is larger and more populous, and everything there is a "multiplier" of this small mountain village.

Fang Nuo rested his limbs on the same shoulder as the human, and his upper body leaned forward, trying to lower his body to see more details of the harbor city.

The stereoscopic map responded to his expectations, and descriptions of the human territory leaped into his field of vision in floral letters.

At first, they were all human words, and Fang Nuo could only make out a few sets of words and put them together before and after, and he could only read them together, feeling that he understood the general meaning.

Of course, it is also possible to interpret the opposite meaning, which is the norm for translating texts for reading comprehension.

However, this "miracle creation" soon showed its "miracle" - those flower-style characters seemed to sense Fang Nuo's intentions, and the surface trembled, and finally they were extremely intelligent to transform into the words he was familiar with.

This is very reasonable, Fang Nuo thought to himself, miracle creations are manipulated with spiritual power, and they will exert different effects according to the difference in spiritual power...... The specific effect will not make much difference in nature.

"Haven" - he knew the name of the human city.

"The war of the past took place in this country." At this time, the witch finally spoke.

She pulled down the brim of her hood with one hand and pointed to an area on the three-dimensional map with the other, gesturing for Noka to look away.

"To the north of the mountain range, the people outside call the most powerful country 'Adriel', which belongs to the country of warriors, founded by the greatest warrior 'Adriel' in human history, and has been passed down and developed to this day."

"With a few rivers and several port cities, Adriel is the economic lifeblood of the whole world...... One of their own rulers, the king, feared the vastness of the country and their inability to control the cities and hearts of the people in remote areas, so they foolishly divided the power and single-handedly propped up many noble families. ”

"Kingdom, Adriel...... "Noka muttered, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion, as if it was the first time he had heard the name of a human country from the outside world, causing his head to rise a little.

Kingdom of Aderiel...... Fang Nuo on his shoulder was also the first time he had heard the proper noun, but he felt a sense of déjà vu.

Remembering the words "Warrior Country" that he had recognized on the ancient map before, he immediately matched the name of the kingdom in the witch's mouth.

"Warrior Country" is the ancient name of that country, or the result of how the people who drew that ancient map came to be, and "Adriel" is its real name.
