Chapter 298: Departure from Fog Harbor
The lantern rider is an alien ghost, and the backstage of the world can only see its present, and there is no way to trace the past.
So what happened to the Lantern Clan to which it belonged, how the sun was stolen, and why the Firefly God left, Lu Yao could only judge based on its description.
"The place where the Lantern Clan is located is covered by a black and gray fog all the year round, and each of us must light a lamp so as not to get lost in it, and the hanging lamp is a sign that the Lantern Clan is alive."
Speaking of his hometown, the flames on the head of the lamp rider flickered on and off, slowly illuminating a vague square frame scene, which was filled with smoke, and only sparse lights could be seen.
It continued: "When the sky lantern is on, the fog in the Fog Harbor will be dispelled a bit, and the visibility will be higher, but it will still be invisible in the distance. β
"We rely on lights to survive in the fog."
"The brightest and clearest time is when the sky lantern comes up and the surroundings become extremely clear. That's when we were able to see each other, but more importantly we were collecting materials everywhere. β
Slemod asked, "You mean digging and smelting ore, and tanning leather?" β
"No, it's not."
"We have a lot of materials in the boxes, all kinds of boxes. Wooden box, iron box, copper box...... The best chests are Silver Chests and Gold Chests. β
"The chests themselves are good materials, and they will contain many useful things, such as lampstones, oil, and firing wires, lamp balls, iron sheets, and copper rods...... If you're lucky, you might even find the full light. β
Lu Yao looked at it and fell into thought.
In the world where the lamp clan is located, all kinds of materials are packed in boxes. This clear man-made trace suggests that there are other groups besides the Lamp Clan that are preparing or have prepared for all of this.
"There are also some ingredients that need to be found outside."
"A lot of the boxes have been opened, and even the boxes themselves have been broken into wood chips and metal," the lightrider added. Sometimes we have to dismantle the corpses of our people and use the remnants of the corpses to help more people survive. β
Slemod agrees: "It's pragmatic. β
"Gotta live."
Writing slowly appeared on the head of the lantern rider: "The lamp clan has a lampstone in their head, and their bodies are copper, iron, or silver...... A few are gold, the heart is a spark disk, and there is still flowing lamp oil in the body. β
"If you are not attacked by the fog beast, the Lantern Clan can live for a long time, as long as you pay attention to protecting your body and replenishing the oil in your body."
"After death, every part of the body is useful material."
Lu Yao came back to his senses suddenly.
Wrong.
The physiological structure of the lamp family is not a normal creature.
He immediately asked Slemod to inquire in detail.
After the detailed description of the lantern ride, the image of the lantern clan in Lu Yao's mind gradually became clear.
The Lantern Clan are not flesh creatures in the conventional sense, they are almost cyborg, with obvious traces of artificiality.
What makes them self-aware is either the natural evolution of the rules of the world over a long period of time, or the handiwork of the gods.
In principle, it looks a bit like a beggar's version of a clockwork monkey.
According to the physiological structure of the lamp family, their existence is more like to specialize in lighting fire, or bringing light, and making lamps is the meaning of their life.
Like a stickman.
No, more like a lighter.
"Are the Lantern Clan inherently so peculiar?" Slemod asked it.
"I don't know...... Fog Harbor is an ancient world, it is said that there were other races before the Lantern Clan, and those boxes were left by them, but they should be similar to the Lantern Clan. β
The lantern rider pondered for a moment, and a series of ellipses appeared on his head.
"The last master said that the existence of the Lantern Clan is to create a new sun that can replace it with the sun in the sky, which is the great mission given by Lord Hotara. The sky lantern is also an imitation of the sun, but it is far from the sun. β
"I'm a little confused."
Slemod said, "Why do you want to replace the sun when it existed in the past? β
"The sun will go out."
"We have to make a new sun before it goes out, and then lift it into the air to replace the old one," he said, "before the sun goes out." The sun is bright here, so it must have only been a short time coming, right? β
Lu Yao finally realized what the problem was.
"Fog Port" is a world that is different from nature.
There, the sun is some kind of high-level prop or spectacle, with wear and tear, and time limit. According to the normal rules of the world, the existence of the sun itself is almost eternal for life in the world.
In the "Fog Harbor", the real sun does not exist at all, only high-quality man-made products.
Later, it is not difficult to understand that a god stole the sun here.
The Sun of the Lantern Clan is a valuable treasure.
Slemod said, "...... I see. So what kind of substance is the world pot? β
"The World Pot is a giant pot."
The lantern made a gesture: "The entire "Fog Harbor" is on the World Pot, and it spews out a steady stream of black mist, and there are also various materials, chests, and strange items in the black mist, and of course, there are also fog beasts. β
"But only the gods can go into the depths of the fog and see the world pot. The Lantern Clan is not good, there are many fog beasts below, and there is a strong pressure, the closer you get to it, the stronger the power. β
This description reminded Lu Yao of the boundaries of the world.
What can be determined so far is that the composition of the "Fog Harbor" is different from that of all known gods, with obvious traces of artificial carving and transformation.
But the situation at the deeper level of the world cannot be said about the lantern ride.
It doesn't know what the "Hotaru God" is likeβthe god was gone before it was born.
In addition, it did not understand the identity of the outer god who stole the sun.
The lantern rider only knew that after the last master of the lantern clan mysteriously disappeared, the lamp clan continued to weaken and die. A large amount of knowledge inheritance and historical secrets have also sunk into the boundless black fog with the demise of the masters.
β¦β¦
After Slemod finished asking, he reported to Lu Yao: "Lord God, the matter of the Lantern Clan initially reminded me of an old news that the title gods had talked about. β
"It is said that when the god of darkness grows stronger, it is the day when the god of light is weak and sleeping, and there is a relationship between the two main gods."
"The god of darkness turned from decline to prosperity, and when it hunted the gods, it would take away all the light and fire, and the first thing to bear the brunt of it was the sun."
"The sun is the spoils of the god of darkness, but wherever he passes through the world, the sun goes out or disappears. It is not easy to do this, not just to destroy the sun, but to erase it from the level of rules, but to preserve the integrity of the order of the world itself......"
"It's a way for the god of darkness to show his power, and also because of his disgust for the god of light."
"Perhaps a long time ago, the god of darkness passed through the "Fog Harbor", so the world lost the sun, and the local gods had to find a way to reforge ......"
Lu Yao muttered in his heart.
I didn't expect that "Fog Harbor" could be related to this main god.
Even the sun has to be swept away, God of Darkness, you have done all the bad things!
"But when I heard the World Pot, I realized that I was wrong."
"As for the Lantern Clan and the World Kettle...... According to the humble opinion, the Lantern Clan is likely to be a commodity to be traded, and the gods will also trade with gods, apostles, believers, special races, and even entire civilizations, and this kind of trade is called "departure". β
"Whether it's the sun made there, or the lamp family itself, it should be a commodity."
Slemod said, "It wasn't the Outer God who stole the sun, but the Firefly God who sold the sun. That's why the outer gods can enter the kingdom of God and take it away easily. β
"The Fog Harbor is a huge shop, you can bid for anything you need, and the attack of the fog beast is probably also a god's method, which is a demonstration and test of the Lantern Clan."
"It's like a business owner who opens the display case box and gives customers to see and try the goods."
Lu Yao was shocked.
The gods are really playing flowers.
