.    In this world, there are countless things that attract us, tempt us, and make us fascinated and persistent in chasing and exploring. Among them, one of the most mysterious, seductive, and confusing ones is  An ethereal and mysterious name, it is called "the future".

    For most of us, the "future" is something we can only imagine but cannot see with our own eyes. When we really see it, it has become the "present" or even the "past", and the newer and more  The "future" that is even more imaginative is already standing in the distance that is out of reach. No matter how much you look at it, you will not be able to take a closer look.

    Leaving aside the question of whether they can or cannot, it seems that most people hope they can see the future. They may not necessarily want to master or gain anything. Many times they just want to know the end of their lives out of pure curiosity.  What kind of clues and what kind of stories are hidden in the unreachable timeline after that.  The natural curiosity and desire for knowledge of intelligent life drives them and tortures them, making them want to know but cannot obtain it.

    But I know that there are still a small number of people who do not want to see the future. They are silent, vigilant and even resistant to fear of the future. They are afraid of those unknown things that will eventually happen. They believe that the colorfulness of life lies in these complex unknowns.  , and when the unknown becomes known, life loses its meaning of existence, development, and reproduction.

    What will our future be like?  This is a question I ask myself all the time.  I long for answers, but sometimes I fear answers.  In other words: I am eager to get the answer to this question, but I am afraid that there is no answer to this question - yes, no answer, no future, no hope.  I am living in an era that is too vast and too cruel. It has squeezed out almost all the life force in the world. It seems that it is eager to fill the valley with all the blood and souls, and no one will be left.  The civilized world leaves little chance.

    Will this world be destroyed by war?  This may be a question that many people in the midst of war ask themselves at night.  However, tragically, when the sun rises again and steel collides with steel and sounds the melody of fighting, everyone's question becomes "Will I be destroyed in the war?" So people have to take up arms again  , taking life as a bet, casting the dice of fate, and deciding the outcome and life and death with his backhand, but he ignored that he has become one of the reasons why the world is being destroyed.

    This is a world full of guilt, and we are just a group of creatures that we hate.

    Will we still have a future?

    Who can answer this question?

    ¡­¡­

    Amid the great changes that tore the earth apart, a special area was formed in the middle of the distant Broken Sea. Its name is the "Star Vortex."  Although it is called "Whirlpool", its specific location is actually among an archipelago called "Reef Barrier".  This was originally a dungeon area around level 30. This dungeon also disappeared during this great change in the world.  And at the original location of this dungeon, a brand new dungeon area appeared again.

    ¡°Oh, what an incredible coincidence.

    The Continental Alliance Naval Command has detected abnormal magic fluctuations in this area. They are very worried whether there is an unknown end-of-the-world imperial naval force hidden in this area, or whether the emperor is carrying out some evil activities here.  Another dangerous magic experiment.  However, due to the tense fighting on the front line, the Alliance Navy was unable to deploy a fleet to conduct reconnaissance in this area. Therefore, they recruited some private adventure groups like us, hoping that we could help them complete this glorious task at this critical moment.  And a difficult mission.

    "The reward for the mission is pretty good." Our president Fei Yin said of this mission.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you go there if you have a dungeon?¡± the violent dwarf priest said with red eyes as he shot the sun with a long bow.

    ¡°I heard this copy is quite fun.¡± The dwarf bard Nocturne in B flat minor was eager to try it.

    "Are they all monsters of the opposite sex?" Elf Tamer Yanzhen hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

    "If the flying geese go, I will go." The elf marksman Xian Geya replied without thinking - otherwise, men in love are all fools. He had no idea that he would regret this hasty decision later.  how long.

    ¡­¡­

    Well, forget the phrase "glorious and arduous mission". These guys are here to make money, to kill people, to have a vacation, and to have a romantic relationship.  But do you want these free and undisciplined guys to sincerely have some consciousness of contributing to the cause of freedom and liberation in Falvi Continent?  Forget it, that's completely hopeless.

    and the following??What is very different from the dungeon areas we have encountered before is that the number of adventurers who can enter the "Star Vortex" area is no longer limited to five people, but ten.  This is why we have not organized the adventure mission of this dungeon until now - our dark elf assassin Red Wolf has just reached level 65, and he happens to be the tenth member of our guild to reach level 65.

    In fact, it is not easy to reach the sea area where the "Star Vortex" is located. The warships of the Alliance Navy have too deep draft and it is difficult to enter this dangerous sea area with complex terrain and changeable climate. For this reason, they specially hired  A pirate ship named the "Golden Rose".  This is a ship that is said to have been specially modified to be able to adapt to all kinds of extremely harsh maritime climates - well, this is what the naval liaison officer told us.

    But when I actually saw this boat with my own eyes, its dilapidated appearance almost made me faint.  I can use a very appropriate comparison to describe this ship, that is: I can't tell you which one is more dilapidated than the shabby little building that was the guild headquarters before we renovated it.  I think it is more appropriate to say that it "can adapt to all kinds of extremely harsh maritime climates" than that it "has experienced all kinds of extremely harsh maritime climates and happened to not sink yet."  Frankly, I have no doubt that it can carry us across the ocean: it certainly can't.  I even suspected that it would sink as soon as it sailed out of the harbor. If I had to get on that ship, which tall mainmast in the center of the ship would I rather be closer to? I believe that when the ship sinks,  The lookout position on the main mast must be very popular.

    I am probably not the only one who has the same worries. At least I saw Xian Ge Yayi riding his swimming turtle onto the boat.

    The only difference between this broken sailboat and a ghost ship is that, thank God, it finally has some living crew members.  These brave men who make a living in the wind and waves seem to be suffering from an incurable optimistic disease. They live on this pile of broken boards that may fall apart at any time, and are about to go to an unprecedented dangerous sea area. And these guys actually  They can also sing to their heart's content. They sang the song "The bakery girl is white and fat, her round butt swings back and forth" with hoarse voices that are almost collapsed. It always makes me feel a gentle warmth in my heart.

    Surprisingly, the captain of this pirate ship is not a burly and majestic man, but a young and beautiful woman.  Her name is "Captain Kelsey Large". She is wearing a smart sailor uniform, with a thin stabbing sword hanging from her waist. Her golden hair is wrapped in a red scarf, as if erupting from the sea level.  A group of morning glow.  When we saw her, she was standing on the foredeck, scolding the busy crew.  What's a bit confusing is that even though she was scolding loudly with the most brutal emphasis, I still sounded kind and gentle, like a neighbor sister gently scolding those clumsy children.

    "So, you are the fools sent to die by those guys in the navy?" The beautiful captain held a straw stick in his mouth and glanced at us sideways, with a somewhat disdainful smile on his face.

    President Fei Yin nodded angrily, and then gritted her teeth and said to us: "I hate the guy who wrote the lines. This question is only half right. We are sent by the navy, but we are not fools who want to die. But I  I can only choose between 'yes' and 'no', which is such a disadvantage."

    The captain's lady didn't care about our disgust with her question. She turned her head and motioned for us to get on the ship, and then said to us: "To be honest, we don't have a good impression of those idiots in the Navy. Don't think that they can spend money to get on board."  You can do whatever you want on my boat" To be honest, I don't even dare to touch the railings of this broken ship, let alone "do whatever you want" or something like that.

    "The reason why we accepted this mission is, on the one hand, because we think it is fun for pirates to accept requests from the navy, and the other reason is: that damn whirlpool is on the reef fortress, and that was supposed to be  It is a free seaport belonging to us pirates"

    "It suddenly appeared during this great change, and it appeared in the center of the reef castle. Many of my friends were sucked into this vortex, and no one saw them come out again. That damn vortex was like a hell  The entrance is red, swallowing up all life that is close to it. Sometimes, some strange light will shoot out from inside, blowing everything it touches to pieces"

    "I know that the Navy wants you to investigate whether there are scum from the Doomsday Empire there. I can tell you clearly that without the smell of those idiot scum, I can smell it even from the top. The problem there is the vortex.  I don't care what the Navy pays you, but if you can successfully close this vortex,??I can give you corresponding remuneration privately, and I guarantee that you will get generosity from me that you cannot get from the navy"

    I really wanted to get more information about the vortex from Captain Kelsey, but our president accepted the task without even waiting for her to finish. In fact, if you pay attention, you will find that these  Space waders are mostly uneducated and impatient guys. I really rarely see them listening to what others have to say when accepting tasks.

    The captain¡¯s words aroused my interest.  If she is right, the dungeon we are about to explore may be completely different from all the dungeon areas we have experienced before.  You know, all the entrances to the dungeons we have seen before are shrouded in a thin layer of magic vortex. Although it looks magical and mysterious, that layer of magic vortex is always thin and transparent, and has never been mixed with anything else.  color; moreover, those magic vortexes are stable and calm when you are not in contact with them, and it is impossible to emit any "strange light", let alone cause any violent explosions.  As she said, the "Star Vortex" on the Reef Castle will be a more dangerous dungeon area than before, and everything that happens there may be different from our previous adventures.

    Along the way, I tried to chat a few more words with our captain¡¯s lady, hoping to get more detailed information from her.  But unfortunately, after we accepted her mission, she seemed to have little interest in talking about the whirlpool. Instead of yelling "Damn Hook, if you doze off on the observation deck again, I will tie you up."  Get up and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks." That means yelling at the crew, "You should clean up my overtime work," or threatening us, "Don't get too close to the railings. I don't guarantee that every one of them is  Solid¡±.

    In fact, I doubt whether these tattered wooden railings that creak in the waves are not "sturdy at all"

    After about five minutes, we sailed into a dangerous sea area.  The sky here is covered with dark clouds, rain pours down from the sky like a pouring water, and lightning thicker than the mouth of a bowl keeps darting back and forth in the sky, illuminating this dim world in a dazzling way.  Ahead, a large ring-shaped archipelago gradually emerged, standing silently and solemnly in the sea.  The further our ship went, the more intense the lightning and heavy rain became, as if something dangerous was attracting them.

    Soon, we saw our destination.  In that circle of islands, the middle and largest island has shown its true appearance.  In the center of the island, we saw a huge disc-shaped red vortex spinning constantly. I believe that is the entrance to the copy of "Star Vortex".  I have never seen such a huge dungeon entrance. Generally speaking, they are often about the same size as a castle gate or the entrance to a cave, but this huge and bloody red turbine in front of me is almost as big as a hill.  .  Behind it, we can't see the dungeon area that we usually see at the entrance to the dungeon, such as a castle or a temple - it appears there out of thin air, and there are just ordinary island scenery on both sides of it, nothing more.  other.

    As Captain Kelsey said, sometimes, some strange light pillars will shoot out of the vortex.  They seem to contain some immeasurable and huge magic power. Whenever they touch the rocks, they will make a loud noise and cause a violent explosion.  I have never seen that kind of light pillar. It is not naturally scattered like the spells released by ordinary magicians, but is condensed, like a straight stick, sometimes green, sometimes red.  .

    Captain Kelsey skillfully docked the ship in the port and then brought us to this huge red whirlpool.

    "This is it, my respected guests" she pointed to the entrance of the whirlpool and said to us, "I'm sorry that I can't continue to accompany you, but I will wait here for three days. Three  After three days, even if you successfully escape from this whirlpool, I'm afraid you will have no choice but to swim back. Don't worry about us. Although this thing often emits some dangerous light, there is no other danger as long as you don't get close to it.  .¡±

    From the first step I took into the whirlpool, I realized that this was completely different from the dungeon areas we had encountered before.  In the past, when we entered the dungeon, we could not feel the transparent magic vortex at all. For people who entered the dungeon, it was as if it did not exist, and they walked in as soon as they raised their legs.

    However, this copy was definitely not like that: when I stepped into the vortex, I suddenly felt that my whole body was being stretched very long, spinning endlessly along the extension of the vortex.  I am not the only one who faces this situation, but all of us.  During the rotation, this vortex, which was originally just a plane, turned into a huge channel, and we rotated and moved forward rapidly in this channel.  Soon, there was no place aroundIt's not a dazzling red, but it emits colorful dazzling light.  When this ball of light suddenly burst out, I felt a pain in my eyes and quickly closed them.

    When I opened my eyes, the scene around me had completely changed.

    We are in the midst of unimaginably huge ruins. This may have once been a city, but it is different from any city we have ever seen.  To our left, a high-rise building with its middle broken was abandoned. However, even if it was broken into two parts, it was taller than I had ever seen before - the part that still stood there was at least thirty stories high.  , and the other half of the dilapidated building lying at its feet is at least that high.  What surprised me was that, as an alchemist who has seen a variety of materials, I couldn't tell what substance this tall building was made of.  Its surface is smooth, bright and strong, somewhat similar to the glass I used to grind glasses for Xian Ge Yayi, but it is larger, thicker, glossier, and a deep brown color that is close to black.  Believe me, if this thing is "glass", then the two lenses I polished by myself are simply rough gravel.

    This is not the only building we have seen that reaches into the sky. In fact, as far as we can see, almost every building in this city is not lower than it.  On both sides of the road, which was so spacious that it felt so wasteful, some strange metal machines were parked there. Some were burning, while others had been burnt to a charred black color.  There is generally a space in the middle of them, with several chairs inside, which look like they are for people to sit on. Some of them have round wheels underneath, and some look more like some kind of ** device.

    They may be some kind of magical vehicles. Unfortunately, all the horses pulling the carts have disappeared.

    While I was standing in a daze, there was a loud bang in front of me, and dark clouds caused by the explosion rose in the distance, which was frightening.  We were about to move forward when suddenly there was a roar on the road ahead, and then I saw a monster covered in iron armor roaring and charging towards us.  I didn't see its head, and it seemed to have no limbs. It just emitted six blue flames from below, supporting it and suspending it in the air.  A long, thick round tube protruded from its top. Although I didn't know which organ it belonged to, I instinctively felt that it always exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

    Just when I couldn't hold it back and was about to rush forward to stop it, the monster stopped.  The light flames below it stopped shooting, and the whole body dropped to the ground.

    Then, two ears-like things opened up on its left and right sides - but they were much larger than the ears we usually see.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not malicious ¨C I thought.

    Just when I was thinking wildly, two figures suddenly walked out of the two open "ears" - then I realized that this guy was not a living giant, but some kind of passing person.  A vehicle powered by special magic.  Aren¡¯t those two huge ¡°ears¡± very similar to stagecoach doors?

    So I decided to call this thing "car"

    The two guys who got out of the car were dressed very strangely. They were all wrapped in a metal armor with a special structure, and there were some red and blue light spots flashing on the armor.  Their heads are wrapped in a helmet made of very transparent material, which doesn't look very solid - but that's not necessarily the case.

    They were tall and burly, looking like two warriors, but the things in their hands didn't look much like weapons.  They were two things with brackets and handles, and two long cylindrical tubes, one thick and one thin, installed at the front.  To a certain extent, this thing looks very similar to Yan Zhen's powerful fire blunderbuss, but they are much smaller and more delicate. They are not like a murder weapon at all, but more like a strange weapon.  shamanic totem pole.

    "Are you the ones who just passed through the rift in time and space?" One of them picked up the device in his hand, pointed at us with the hole in it, and asked loudly.  He didn't look friendly at all. The reason I thought so was partly because he pointed the stick at us with a hint of caution and precaution, and partly because of its race - no trace of it.  Doubt, this guy with a bright red head and two short spiral horns on his head is a pure-blooded devil.

    The reason why I didn¡¯t rush forward to kill him immediately was because of the guy next to him: he was fair-skinned, tall, and had two pointed ears on both sides of his head - there was no doubt that he was an elf.

    ?? Okay, I think my mind is a bit confusing: an elf and a demon, two armed warriors, can actually sit in the same car without incident - this doesn't seem to be the world I know.

    That elf is obviously interested in?A bit more friendly.  He stretched out his hand to press down on the demon soldier's weapon, and said, "Don't be too nervous, my friends um, or my ancestors? I think you need to understand you again.  The place you are in right now - oh, in fact, you don't need to dwell on 'where' this is, but should rethink 'when' this is. You are now in your era, about seven thousand years later, and behind you  It was the time and space rift caused by an accident during this war. We have read about your experiences in history books, so we believe that you are a vital part of this war. The command dispatched us to detect this day and night  The movement of time and space cracks, so that I can find you as soon as possible. Please don't care too much about the attitude of my comrade-in-arms. He is not unfriendly, but just doesn't know how to express his friendliness. If you don't mind, I'm very happy  It is an honor to ask you to come on board and I will take you to our headquarters, where I believe the historians waiting there will be able to better receive you."

    With that said, he got on the armored car again.  The armored car floated into the air, spun around in a circle, and pointed its butt towards us.  While I was still thinking about how we could remove the thick layer of steel armor and squeeze into the car, a door suddenly opened on its back butt, and a metal ramp popped out from the car, allowing us to get in.  He walked smoothly into the very spacious compartment.

    The changes were so huge and so sudden that I was overwhelmed.  I looked at my friends around me, but they all looked excited and walked to the car eagerly.

    "So" Fei Yin looked at the scenery around her as she walked, and said something puzzling:

    "It seems we have traveled through time".
