In the hundreds of thousands of years since the Dawn Era, the Miracle Plane has experienced the Dusk Era, the Ashes Era, the Chaos Era, the Order Era, and finally reached the current Era of the Strong. During these many historical periods, six holy places have been built in the Miracle Plane.
The two holy places built in the Age of Dawn are Bilsrod and Asgard.
The former is called the world wall of the morning light. It is the first world wall built for this plane by the people of the gods and the kingdom of God. It is used to resist the erosion attacks of the void storm. The latter is known as the Golden Palace of the Gods. It was once a temple built by the gods for their servants in the Age of Dawn.
Compared with the four holy places established in later generations, these two are obviously more consistent with the meaning of "holy place". Especially Asgard, the golden palace of the gods. This holy place was destroyed in the battle of Ragnarok. It was once a place of faith in the hearts of the gods and all people.
Later, when the Miracle Plane entered the twilight era, the gods built Saint Afar and Valhalla according to the instructions of the gods. Compared to Bilsrod and Asgard, which were created by the gods, the great cathedral of St. Afar, known as Dusk, and the final Hall of Valor, Valhalla, were not built by the gods themselves, but because they were created by the gods, The people built them according to the will of the gods, so these two holy places also have their own unique sacredness.
It is said that in the twilight era, the friction between the people of the gods and the people has become increasingly serious. At that time, wars in which servants of the gods fell and heroes died prematurely began to occur. Therefore, the construction of Valhalla once strengthened the faith in the hearts of the people of the gods. All the people of the gods believe that as long as they live according to the will of the gods and do not disobey the orders of the gods, they can enter Valhalla, the Hall of Heroes, after death, continue to survive in another way, and even be promoted to Servant of God, enter Asgard.
The reason why today's believers of the gods firmly believe that they can enter the Kingdom of God and become servants of God after death is actually because of the existence of Valhalla in the past. Although this special existence known as the "Last Hall of Heroes" was later destroyed in Ragnarok, its divinity and handed down significance also allowed the gods to introduce such "heroic spirits" into their own kingdoms. A model that allows his followers to enter the Kingdom of God after death and continue to serve themselves.
"Compared with the value of Valhalla, the final hall of Valhalla, and its impact on the gods, St. Afar, the great cathedral at dusk, seems a bit useless. This holy land was originally called the Great Holy Church, and was the only legal place for the gods to come and communicate with the people. In fact, before the conflict between the gods and the people completely intensified, the gods did once try to convince the people of their faith. return.
It¡¯s a pity that this plan ended in failure.
Later, when Ragnarok broke out, Saint Afar of the Great Temple became the first victim. However, in view of its sacredness, and the fact that it can almost be called the first holy place to be destroyed in the history of the Miracle Plane, and it happened in the twilight era, it is also called the Great Temple of Twilight.
After that, when the era entered the Age of Ashes, the earth was devastated and the world fell into darkness.
Humans, elves, dwarves, all kinds of ethnic groups, in order to survive in this world, they finally worked together to build two new shelters.
That is, Avalon, a utopia known as the "Earthly Utopia" and the "Fairy Sanctuary".
The former was where humans hid at that time, and the latter naturally gathered all the elven groups on the entire continent at that time. However, what is slightly subtle is that, whether it was Utopia or Avalon, a considerable number of dwarves also joined the construction process at that time. However, when these two holy places were finally completed, humans and elves were able to avoid being destroyed by the darkest place in the early Ashes Age. When the difficult times wiped out the world, the dwarves did not appear in these two holy places.
There are many rumors about this part. Some say that the dwarves hid underground after the construction was completed. Others say that after the dwarves assisted in the construction, they were driven away by humans and elves and were not allowed to enter. Although there were many rumors, in the game at that time, many players actually tended to support the second view, and even derived a school because of it: that is, Utopia and Avalon would later collapse and disappear, to a large extent. Because of retribution.
It is the retribution suffered by humans and elves for betraying the dwarves and violating the contract.
But no one knows the truth.
The only thing Sean knows is that after Wings of the Void opened Utopia, there were no new tasks or troubles. He only knew that it was not without reason that Utopia could be called the "Earthly Utopia", and it was also not without reason that this place could be called one of the Six Holy Lands.
If there is any place in this world where the holiness is comparable to the Kingdom of God, it can even be said to be beyond it.?As for the kingdom of gods, it must be the Six Holy Lands. It's just that except for Bilsrod, who has been completely solidified as a barrier to this plane world, the first four holy places, Asgard, Saint Afar, and Valhalla have been successively destroyed in the battle of Ragnarok, and although Avalon Just like Utopia, it was cursed and fell asleep. However, the way to open this fairy sanctuary is not easy, and it can even be said to be more difficult than Utopia.
In addition, Sean was not familiar with Avalon, so he naturally never thought of opening this place.
Since he came to this world and made the determination to let the wings of the void fly again, his goal has always been Utopia.
Now, when Utopia finally revives and appears in front of Sean's eyes, his inner excitement is naturally indescribable.
No one can understand Sean's mood at this time.
It is a kind of faith that has been persisted for a long time, a kind of exciting feeling that a dream that has been pursued for a long time has finally been realized.
A group of four people quickly arrived in front of this holy land.
Holy Land Utopia is a giant city built on a mountain.
As a refuge for humans to hide in the Age of Ashes, this land can accommodate a population of nearly three million and covers an area of ??more than 1,500 square kilometers. It is the largest known territory in the Miracle Continent today. Although nearly one-third of the area is built by hollowing out the mountainside, the entire utopia actually has a very complete circulation system: including food cultivation fields, water circulation, etc.
Of course, the area of ??this holy sanctuary does not only refer to the towering city walls that appear in front of Sean and others at this moment, but also refers to the entire land, including the Sighing Forest, which belongs to Utopia. area.
¡°Only about 500,000 people can actually live in the Holy City. More than two million other people are actually scattered throughout the land. According to the official background information set for Utopia by the game, before Utopia was destroyed, in addition to the Holy City, there were actually twelve surrounding cities. town.
Stretching in front of everyone is a giant fifty-meter-high city wall built along the mountain.
The construction materials of these city walls are obviously some kind of stone that may no longer be mined. Although time has left indelible historical traces on these city walls, this city wall has not brought any harm to Sean and Rena. Despite the dilapidated impression, on the contrary, this city wall is stronger than any city wall Sean has ever seen, and it is obviously made of stone, but when weapons hit it, a muffled sound of metal collision can be heard.
The city wall stretches for hundreds of meters, starting and ending at the mouth of the valley on both sides.
The city of Utopia is built on a valley, and the city gate is in the middle of the valley. Back then, some idle players in the game tested it and found that the east and west sections of the city wall were exactly symmetrical at 750 meters, which meant that the total length of this section of the city wall was 1,500 meters.
According to the standard of setting up a squad of soldiers on duty every fifty meters for city wall patrols, this section of the city wall requires a total of thirty squads of manpower, which means that each round of city wall requires at least 600 soldiers on duty. If you include the commander, mobile team, and reserve troops, the number would be a thousand.
Just one section of the city wall requires a thousand soldiers to guard it.
Fortunately, there is only one city wall in the entire main city of Utopia. There are steep mountain walls on the east and west sides, making it extremely difficult to climb into the city. To the north, there is a hollowed-out mountain. Although there is a mountain range at the back, which is a loophole in the entire Utopia main city, it is not easy to climb the mountain from the north to enter the Utopia main city. matter.
Because the climbing point of this mountain range happens to be in Warcraft Canyon.
At this time, Sean and others had arrived under the city wall, and they all looked up at the huge city gate that was nearly 20 meters high.
"Howhow do we get in?" Heatli asked.
Even with a casual glance at this city gate, you can tell that the gate must be heavy. I am afraid that it is not an easy task to open it manually. In fact, Heatley and others are guessing that there may be a large-scale magic power machine inside the city gate, and the city gate must be opened through the wheel transmission of the magic power machine, just like the steam gear. The city gate opens in the same way.
"Fly?" Rena asked tentatively.
The height of fifty meters may be very difficult for a strong person in the golden realm, but for a strong person in the holy realm, it is nothing. They only need to borrow strength once or twice to climb easily. Go up the city wall. As for legends and even superpowers, there is no problem. They have the ability to stay in the air and fly.With their strength, they can easily cross the city wall and enter the city.
And dragon knights like Reina naturally have more convenient ways.
Black Stone is now a dragon that can truly fly. Maybe as long as it evolves once or twice, it can become a real black dragon. This may become the third real giant dragon on the Miracle Continent. If the giant dragon hiding in the dark forest of the dark tide was not killed by Bes If killed.
"It's useless." Sean shook his head. "On this land, there are several large magic circles permanently fixed, one of which is the no-fly zone. If your black stone becomes a real dragon, then maybe there will be It may be possible to gain the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time, but it is impossible to truly fly like in other places. Not to mention those of us here, we can only be about thirty meters above the ground at most."
In Utopia, there is a reason why there are no birds flying.
When it was still a chaotic black earth, this was a restricted area of ??life. Even after being purified, there is still no possibility of flying on this land. Even non-aggressive ornamental birds cannot fly on this land.
No one present would doubt Sean¡¯s words.
"Then how do we get in?" Xuefaniu asked, "This door doesn't look easy to open at first glance. Do you have the key?"
Sean rolled his eyes at Xuefanio: "Have you ever seen a city gate opened with a key?"
"Then how to get in?" Xuefaniu frowned.
Sean¡¯s brows also wrinkled.
Originally in the game, with the success of the first phase of the mission and the opening of Lost Paradise, players of Wings of the Void will automatically enter the Lost Paradise copy as long as they approach the city. Later, after they had completely conquered the Lost Paradise copy, they appeared in the central square of the city. The door to Utopia had already been opened, so Sean was really at a loss as to how to open the city gate. .
"It seems we can only use the old method."
With a slight sigh, Sean took a few steps back, then used his strength to run quickly. When he approached the city wall, he jumped suddenly and stood up straight from the ground. This time, Sean did not use the power of law in his body to give himself the ability to float, but even so, Sean felt a sudden heaviness in his body, as if some force was preventing him from continuing to climb. .
And the strength of this obstruction became particularly obvious when it reached twenty meters. Sean even felt as if he was directly affected by dozens of times the force of gravity. At this time, he finally couldn't help but stretched out his foot and tapped lightly on the city wall, trying to use the strength to jump up again, but what made him feel subtle was that the moment his right foot touched the city wall, that The huge gravity exerted on him completely disappeared, which made Sean's spirit lift up.
But when he finished borrowing the force and jumped again, the gravity returned to him in an instant, and as his height continued to climb, the force multiplier of gravity was obviously still being superimposed, even with Sean's current height. The strength of the body, when it reached forty meters, there was a squeezing sound from the bones in the body, which was obviously reaching the limit of the body.
This discovery made Sean feel shocked: the real situation is far more complicated and troublesome than in the original game.
However, his reaction was also extremely fast. As soon as he noticed something was wrong with his body, he connected his legs on the city wall, using this method to eliminate the gravity that was exerting on himself. Facts have proved that Sean's judgment method is indeed effective. Although this method of climbing will undoubtedly increase his physical exertion, and only legends and above can easily perform this technique, but in any case, Xiao Well, he climbed up the city wall quickly.
After entering Utopia, everything here feels like returning home to Sean.
Walking along the stairs of the city wall to the city gate, Sean gently pulled up the rocker, and with the sound of gears turning, the entire city gate was quickly opened.
Roughly two-thirds of the main city of Utopia is built in the valley, while the remaining one-third is in the heart of the mountain. Compared with the splendor of Avalon, Utopia's architectural style is obviously much simpler. Basically, durability and sturdiness are the first considerations, and the division of street areas is also very detailed and concise, giving the overall impression of a Generous and simple impression.
Probably because when this city was built, the whole world was in darkness. At that time, humans had to survive in order to survive.Working together, no one ever complained. Because of this, there was no concept of commercial streets or shops in the utopia at that time. All houses were personal residences. Although the class system still existed, the class system at that time was different from today's class situation. .
In the utopian period of the Age of Ashes, only the wise and sages could be considered the real upper class. They could be exempted from all work, and the houses they lived in were generally larger and more luxurious, just like the so-called aristocratic class today. Same.
In the valley, most of the houses are still at the level of ordinary people, and it is rare to see any more luxurious houses. However, as you get closer to the side of the mountain, it is easier to see some larger houses, and even some small single-family buildings similar to manors.
Under the leadership of Sean, everyone quickly passed the street, entered the heart of the mountain, and then came to a room in the basement.
During the whole process, Sean did not pause at all. After all, he was very familiar with this city. Even with his eyes closed, he knew where his destination was, so there was no waste of time when taking action. move.
It¡¯s just that this move seemed extremely weird in the eyes of Xuefaniu and Shiteri.
Because under normal circumstances, a strange place must be explored first. But Sean's actions clearly showed that this was not his first time here. The only one who had no doubts about Sean's actions was Rena.
"Isn't this your first time here?" Finally, Heatli couldn't hold it back.
"You may not believe it." Sean thought for a while, and then said, "In my dreams, I have been here many times."
"In a dream?" Xuefanio glanced at Sean.
"Yes." Sean nodded, his tone full of sadness, "I once had a dream. In that dream, I had many, many companions. We took risks and fought together. We cried together and laughed together. Face difficulties together, and then use the weapons in our hands to crush these difficulties and troubles. In that dream, I was not a lord, nor an emperor, nor a king, I was justthe captain of a mercenary group .¡±
"It's really an underachievement." Xuefaniu said, "If you can only be the captain of a mercenary group, then I'm afraid no one in this world will dare to be your captain."
There are still some. Sean said silently in his heart.
But at this time, he did not answer this question.
He just stood in this altar-like room, then lifted up several small stone pillars that had fallen down on the altar one by one, and then placed them in the altar.
These small stone pillars are each only half a meter long and look like a stone stick, but their colors are different.
As Sean placed the five stone pillars into the altar one by one, the altar also lit up in five different colors at the same time. The three people who followed Sean into the altar, Shitli, Xuefanio, and Reina, did not know that every time the altar lit up with a color, the entire Utopia also glowed with a color. And when the five colors flashed past one by one, the entire utopia instantly gave people a completely different feeling.
A holy and sacred atmosphere has begun to spread throughout Utopia.
It is an awe-inspiring atmosphere that cannot be blasphemed.
Sean looked up at the soft white light emitting from the altar. He closed his eyes with a pious expression.
"President Yun Lan, I have captured Utopia." Sean was praying silently in his heart, "This time, I promise not to let anyone destroy Utopia. Those wings belonging to the void will always be here. Spread your wings and soar I will definitely make our wings of the void become the most dazzling flag in the world. I will also make these wings the pride and belief of the people of the Void Empire."
Although they didn¡¯t know what Sean was doing, this scene was indeed the first time that Heatley, Xuefanio, and Reina saw Sean showing such a pious look. Therefore, they did not disturb Sean's prayers, but quietly watched his actions.
And when Sean finished praying and opened his eyes again, his eyes became firm and solemn: "Let's go. Our guests will be here soon, and everything is as we planned before. Just do it that way.¡±
"With our strength, can we really deal with Lake?" Chefanio frowned, "I heard from Lord Ulamog that his strength should be able to keep pace with them. And we "
Before Xuefaniu could finish what he said, Sean interrupted: "What's going on?"We definitely can't beat Lake in this place. But here, absolutely no problem. Because this is a utopia known as the "Earthly Utopia", a holy land created in the Age of Ashes, and it is filled with unparalleled holiness. As long as Lake dares to step here, his strength will inevitably be weakened. This is our only advantage. "
"Then how are you sure that Lake will enter such a place that is not good for him?" It was Heatley who asked.
"Because, when I planted the fire of order, the light of order that soared into the sky was actually equivalent to the letter of challenge I issued to him." Sean said in a deep voice, "As proud as the Lich King De Cun has issued a letter of war to him, and he will never ignore it. Because his pride does not allow him to ignore it, even if there is something disadvantageous to him here, he will break in. Of course, although he His strength has been weakened to a certain extent, but his experience is still there, and the magic he masters is not less, so we still cannot take it lightly."
"But at least, under such circumstances, we have the power to fight!" Reina said, looking very passionate as always, "As long as we have a chance and there are so many of us, we are not afraid that we can't defeat him. . What we shouldn¡¯t worry about is what we will do if he can¡¯t defeat us and we run away.¡±
"Then we have to try our best to prevent the other party from escaping." Sean chuckled, but the laughter did not have much of a relaxed tone, "This is our home court, and our numbers are larger than the other party's, so Overall, we are still in a better position. The most important thing is that now the war has broken out in full force, and we have no time to continue to hesitate. This war started a month ago."
"We will do our best." Xuefaniu nodded, "Thenwhen will Lake come?"
"Heis already here." Sean was about to answer, but his face changed slightly and he immediately said, "Justoutside the city gate." (To be continued.)
