Chapter 17: An Overview of Another World II (First and Final Chapters)
Adventurers usually carry a white crystal with them.
This magical ore absorbs the demonic energy that escapes from the death of monsters.
Depending on the total amount of demonic energy absorbed, the hedron itself will change color.
When the mana is exhausted, it will turn back into a normal white crystal.
Again, to use the "battery" analogy.
If it is said that the demon seed and the demon core are both "natural batteries" produced by monsters.
Then the form of the hedron absorbing the escaping demonic qi is equivalent to the charging of the "artificial battery".
In any case, magic is an energy source that is not to be marketed.
There is a wide range of needs in almost all walks of life, and the influence is huge.
Including the cultivation of extraordinary strength and all kinds of rigid consumption.
Even the ancient alchemy and potions techniques now have more magic-assisted steps.
Therefore, hunting monsters is itself an act that can create value.
For the cave monsters, the creatures of the Naroa continent are also an alternative resource.
In addition to abusing and killing, gnawing, and humiliating humans, the most important purpose of monsters attacking humans is to collect materials.
The souls, blood, and even hearts, brains, eyes, and sexual organs of the Naroa natives can be sacrificed in various monster rituals.
These rituals will cause those monster caves to change, and the individual monsters in them will also change.
However, scholars believe that the deeper significance of rituals to monsters should be more than that.
Because the chaotic will of the monsters to attack has proved that in their eyes, the creatures of Naroa are lambs to the slaughter.
Various hypotheses have emerged about the motive and origin of the monster attack.
But it doesn't matter if you go back to the roots, and neither side has a reason to let go of the other.
In this context, the invasion of monsters has instead contributed to the multi-ethnic pattern of civilization on the Naroa continent.
No matter how great the differences in appearance, concepts, beliefs, and customs are, as long as they can communicate, then there is hope for peaceful coexistence.
However, the monsters are different, and both low-level and high-level monsters regard the natives of Naroa as insects and livestock.
It can be said that I have learned about the relationship between monsters and aborigines.
has basically mastered the main line of the Naroa continent.
The rest of the customs can be adapted slowly.
After all, there are too many different races, and there are differences in food, clothing, architectural styles, and so on.
The overall style belongs to the composite model of great integration and multi-ethnic coexistence, which is difficult to summarize in simple words.
But at least it shows that the internal system of the Atlas is tolerant enough.
With the default mastery of the lingua franca, it is not a problem for Chen Xuan to integrate into it.
Except for the main line of monsters.
Chen Xuan also had a preliminary understanding of Naroya's circadian rhythm.
The two suns in the sky are called the Flare and the Gloom, and they do not rise and set at the same time most of the time.
Instead, there is a cycle of its own revolution, and only every four Naroa years can we see a double day synchronized.
The maximum number of hours during the day is eight hours, and the shortest is six hours.
Each water clock corresponds to three hours in the blue star.
As for the night, there are two types.
They are the pseudo-night when the sun sets and the sun sinks in the west.
This phase usually lasts for two water hours.
After the false night, there is a moonlit night after both days have disappeared, and it lasts for six water hours.
Among them, there are various combinations of moon phases, but unfortunately Rebecca doesn't know much about it.
You need to consult a professional astrologer.
Usually the caverns will spew out a new batch of monsters around the time of the pseudo-night.
And the monsters at night can become especially agitated and manic.
The opposite is true during the day.
Therefore, the adventurers' hunting for monsters is day and night.
This information is only enough for Chen Xuannan to know a rough idea.
Basically, it can be thought of as one naroa day equal to about two blue star days.
There must be a certain amount of error, but there is no problem at all with this understanding.
Finally, it's the story of Rebecca and the Seed.
While talking about it, Rebecca Miri dared to make a request to him.
It was to heal her brother and mother of the plague.
Chen Xuan was noncommittal about this.
Although he was not a qualified slave owner.
But who is a slave and who is a master, he still has a number.
He wouldn't care about this kind of thing until Rebecca had made a substantial contribution to him.
And he wasn't sure about the so-called plague, and he wasn't going to take up any extra time for it.
It is not so much that Chen Xuan is indifferent and ruthless, but that he is pragmatic enough.
After all, it was a poor and white world, a treasure shrouded in mist, and the key to gaining extraordinary powers, not a children's amusement park.
Even if you have a golden finger, you have to take it step by step.
It can be seen that Rebecca still cares about her relatives very much, and when she knows that her request is hopeless, the haze on her face can almost be described as "sad and dead".
Therefore, Chen Xuan said in the end that as long as she does things well for herself, she will consider solving the problem of disaster for her relatives.
It kind of gave her a glimmer of hope.
When the two were talking, Chen Xuan also deliberately showed a few Blue Star methods.
Just as he was amazed by the extraordinary power of the continent of Naroa, Rebecca was also amazed enough by Blue Star's methods.
This in addition to making the image of the owner in her mind more mysterious.
There is also reason to believe that Chen Xuan may really be able to cure the plague.
Silently reviewing in his heart, Chen Xuan soon walked to the snack street he usually went to.
Rebecca's eating habits are basically the same as those of humans, except that she has a larger appetite.
So Chen Xuan directly packed two servings of braised chicken and two servings of braised pork ribs.
While waiting for the meal, he suddenly realized something, and the elements were perceived!
The relationship between the monsters and the continent of Naroa is not as simple as it seems.
It's all about the magic!
If the Naroa continent before the appearance of the monster cave belonged to the low-demon world.
Then, with the emergence of monsters, the use of magic power is strengthened, and the reserves of magic energy are becoming more and more abundant.
In fact, the Naroa Continent has slowly evolved to the level of the Middle Demon World.
Some of the information Rebecca mentions about supernatural powers is proof of this.
According to this line of reasoning, the cave may represent some kind of secret to the change of the world.
Chen Xuan thought seriously, if he wasn't worried about the monsters "guarding the corpse" in place, he couldn't wait to go back to Magdam City now to further understand this magical other world.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan was ready to wait until tomorrow to carry out [cross-border].
In this way, you can not only avoid the risk of being "guarded", but also wait until the arrival of some of the special materials purchased last night.
And the next morning, it was the end of the night on Naroa's side.
Monsters during the day are more tired, and their safety is more than a cut higher than during the night.
In fact, Chen Xuan also had a clear idea of how to be a qualified little master of the two worlds and make good use of the complementary advantages of [cross-border].
Carrying the packed meal, he bought a few sets of junior casual clothes at a nearby clothing store and set out on the way back.
After mastering the common knowledge related to the other world, he believes that there is still a lot of preparation work to be perfected!
