The opening of Pandora's box
The four major forces on the continent of Taiya have been fighting for thousands of years over their resources, territories, and beliefs.
They are the Rutgers, who occupy a large number of rivers in the middle of Taiya, are mainly agricultural, and advocate military force.
Located in the western part of Taiya, they occupy a large number of grasslands, mainly nomadic and tribal formations, and have been in conflict with the Rutgers for many years.
Located on the easternmost edge of the sea, the Maas, who occupy all the estuaries and are mainly engaged in trade and fishing.
Finally, at the chaotic border between the Frankfurt dynasty and the Duchy of Louvre, in the cold and hungry mountains all day long, no god would give the slightest alms, the Ryan family.
One day, the leaders of the four powers, tired of the endless struggle, demarcated their respective ruling regions, and jointly elected the supreme arbiter of the four regions and established the Frankfurt dynasty.
Another millennium has passed.
The application of the thermal energy machine has made the population of Taiya grow exponentially, a large number of alchemy technology and elemental magic have opened up new homes one after another, and humans have even had diplomacy with the kingdom of ghosts and dwarves, more and more new things have been produced and discovered by humans, just when everyone is amused to think that this grand occasion will continue forever, the gears of suffering begin to turn secretly.
………
A steaming airship is driving in the endless blue sky, and the personnel in the cabin are almost all covered in wounds, and they are ruthless characters with rich combat experience, including not only powerful sorcerers who are no less than occult scholars but also deserters who are proficient in various martial arts, and the overall combat effectiveness of the squad should not be underestimated.
The captain took a big gulp of cigarette to comfort his heart, for fear that the team members would find a clue, he kicked the cigarette butts in the captain's room and stood up and walked to the cabin.
He pretended to be calm and walked to the middle of the team: "If we can successfully get the occult apocalypse that has been lost for a thousand years this time, we will no longer have to worry about money in this life, and the difficulty should not be as high as imagined." ”
A dagger dua
G's was nailed to the pillar beside the captain, and a strong man in leather equipment with a flushed face stood up to say something, and then shut his mouth again. Forcibly held back.
The whole ship stared at the captain unkindly, all holding back their resentment against the boss, and the tattooed spell master glanced around, still had to dilute this kind of saber rattling, otherwise it would be an ironclad failure, he snapped his fingers and melted the dagger into the parts of a woman's body.
The whole ship began to laugh rudely, and the tension was much better.
The navigator, who had been staring at the ruler, saw the vague outline of the island, and when he wanted to prepare for landing, all the equipment in the entire boat began to rotate irregularly, and he hurriedly checked the full set of equipment and looked at the pressure, and everything was fine.
The anxious navigator rushed into the captain's room to report the failure of the compass and the strange phenomenon of the instrument.
The "Boss" didn't reply when he heard the news, waved his hand to signal him to continue to prepare for landing, and then put out the half-smoked cigarette on the table in the palm of his hand, and nervously controlled the airship one after another.
When he was about to reach the edge, the jump suddenly went dark, and a deep curtain appeared out of thin air around the airship, layer after layer of colors intertwined, and finally formed a purple light curtain, which was reflected on the airship through the window, and the ruthless people in the airship who were irradiated began to stare at this mysterious curtain for some reason, and took out knives and wiped them on their necks one by one, and the surrounding brothers hurriedly stepped forward to stop this terrifying behavior, but under the light of the purple light, they also took out their weapons and made the same action.
Seeing that the fierce look on this face disappeared, everyone collectively squatted in the shadow of the warehouse to avoid the purple light.
A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the airship team, the captain quickly slowed down and then turned right to avoid the impact of the whirlpool, the whirlpool continued to approach as if it had intelligence, the captain gritted his teeth and turned on the power of the steam engine to the maximum, closed his eyes and waited for fate to fall.
The spacecraft made a safe crash landing.
The scarred people in the broken airship crawled out, they sat on the shore looking at the broken airship with each other in a rage, and they came to their senses with a loud cry, took out their weapons and prepared for battle.
As soon as they turned, a crowd of long-waiting magical creations rushed towards them.
The sorcerer hurriedly cast a large wall of fire to prevent the creation from approaching, but the monster burning all over its body continued to approach them as if it was nothing, and it was only when they rushed in front of them that everyone saw the monster for the first time, they were all human corpses! A large number of boiled maggots oozed from their eyes, strangely without a single odor around them, and the surface of the flesh was still intact.
The captain opened his alchemy glasses and found that the blue silk threads in the air were fluctuating from the center of the island to all the corpses, and just as he thought about the blue silk threads, two magical creatures approached him, the monster on the left punched him only towards the middle door, and the one on the right kicked him in the knee.
The captain dodged to the left, took out his alchemy rifle and shot the corpse on the right in the thigh, and a powerful side kick kicked the monster on the wrist on the left, and the monster's wrist was violently smashed.
That's it? The captain thought puzzled.
He turned to look at his teammates, the sorcerer had settled the battle, there were corpses lying around him, each swing of the deserter's sword would create a large number of incapacitated corpses, and the captain looked at the head where the thread had disappeared under his feet, so it was.
He turned around and shot the walking corpses around him one by one.
The remaining squads gathered a second time.
The captain was the first to open the buckle: "The corpse was handed over by the magic thread in the middle of the island, and it is estimated that something is there." ”
"Occult apocalypse?"
Staring at the sky, the spell master shook his head with a violent fire under his pupils, and turned on the spell vision.
"It's not faith, it's not elemental energy."
"That's the direction!"
The captain picked up the picture book and studied it carefully: "The book of Revelation has a method for making space alchemy cards, and we can probably go home through this!" ”
The crowd surrounded the sorcerer and walked towards the unknown magical energy.
The closer they got to the center of the magic fluctuation, the more mutated the animals became, and the team vigilantly continued to find an abrupt temple, where they paused to discuss countermeasures.
The sorcerer said vigilantly, "This is not the source of energy fluctuations, the closer my spell gets to the center of the island, the more it will shrink, and if you take a few more steps, it may disappear." ”
The captain patted him, and reached out his palm to the back of his neck, knocking the sorcerer unconscious.
"Put him inside, lest he find him and not be able to go back."
Everyone nodded and vigilantly followed the captain into the temple...
The walls of the strange temple had long been mottled, the ground was covered with dust, and there were no statues or ornaments except for a mossy hole in the ground, and they leaned against the only passage and glanced at the strong man, who nodded and walked in.
As soon as he entered the passage, he quickly triggered all the traps, the cat-like figure dodging the stinger and the crossbow arrows around the walls, and when he reached the passage, an invisible stone ball full of spikes turned him into meat sauce.
The captain stared at Bolognese, and the muscles on his face twitched, and he recklessly entered the passageway, and walked around the corner, hesitating to the end.
In the center of the large empty basement was a book, and the moss-covered wall above the head was dripping water on the captain's head, and the captain did not open the table with his hands in the first place.
This is not "Occult Apocalypse", it is an untitled book, the center of the cover is full of dried hair, countless eyelids and crude stitching marks constantly tugging at the captain's nerves.
"Can't open it!" It's so weird, the voice in my heart sounds.
He took off his coat and held back his curiosity and wrapped up the windfall.
Back in the group, he shook his head and explained what was going on, motioning for the team to continue with the Spellcaster towards the increasingly volatile energy center.
As the captain with the human skin book passed by the sorcerer, a blue thread slammed into the sorcerer's head, and he stood up like a zombie, rolled his eyelids, and bound everyone with the flames of the spell.
"What are you doing!"
"He's under the control of magical energy!"
He took the captain's human skin and floated as if he were attracted to something.
He disappeared in place!
Everyone stared at his disappearing position in a panic, constantly dripping with cold sweat, ding! He reappeared in front of everyone, with an equally large purple cover book "Occult Apocalypse" in his hand.
He opened his mouth slightly to make a noise that no one in this world could make through his vocal cords, and a bunch of hands that appeared out of thin air pierced everyone's hearts, and the blood condensed together to form a spatial vortex in midair.
The two books began to grow thin threads and muscles, gradually inserting into his hands.
The whirlpool continued to grow and cover the entire space, and a pile of mossy purple arms stretched out from the whirlpool, wanting to descend on the Taiya continent, and the captain with a slight snout could clearly feel that the entire Taiya continent was rejecting the foot of this creature.
"Interrupt this ritual and end the sorcerer's connection with the alchemy card, a wave of dark energy is pouring in." A voice full of majesty sounded in the captain's head.
In an instant, a huge force descended on the captain, and the flame chain was inexplicably opened.
A sense of mission was born from the bottom of the captain's heart, and he relied on the weak "favor to give" to force himself to stand up, and took out the arcane card made by the alchemist on his waist to tear apart the body of the sorcerer who was undergoing the advent ceremony.
The advent was forcibly interrupted, and the devastating power did not enter Thea.
The captain slumped to the ground, triumphantly watching the energy disappear, and lit a cigarette with the remaining miniature temperature from the Olympiad card.
"Handsome men light cigarettes like this."
Looking at the hole in his chest that began to bleed again, his body began to gradually become icy and died not long after.
