The western fortress in the distant mountains was like the light of dawn at the end of the darkness, the light of order that penetrated the sky and the earth dispelled the fatigue and frustration of the knights for many days, and under the light of the "Tower of Fire", the pain on everyone's body seemed to really disappear, and everyone wanted to rush to the foot of the mountain shrouded in light at once.But Veronica hadn't lost her cool yet, and she ordered the knights to camp in a clearing outside the Shadow Jungle to rest, ready to wait until the next time the forces of Chaos waned before heading to the fortress.This seemingly "time-wasting" rest is actually quite necessary, because the knights have been operating in the area where the chaos power is at its peak for too long, and even with the protection of holy relics, everyone has been more or less eroded by the aura of chaos, and this erosion has not yet changed their bodies, but it has left a deep shadow in the spiritual world - the shadow is not obvious in the darkness, but when it comes to the light, it will have nothing to hide and turn into scars.People who have stayed in the chaotic environment for too long cannot return to the Land of Order directly, because the overly powerful guardian power of the Land of Order will indiscriminately purify everything that has been corroded, which is reflected in the collapse of the mind and the loss of control of the magic power in the body.In the early days of the war, it was not uncommon for soldiers returning from the Chaos Front to commit suicide after returning to their barracks, which was the result of an overly strong sense of guilt and fear in the corroded mind when returning to the realm of order.Today, people already know how to deal with this deadly psychological problem: a brief adaptation in the buffer zone of chaos and order is sufficient.The knights rested in the makeshift camp, and the veterans of the hundred battles finally had a chance to catch their breath, and they gathered in twos and threes, some eating, some whispering about the war and their homeland, and others simply staring at the campfire in a daze, waiting for Her Royal Highness the princess to give the order to leave.Hao Ren also found a place to sit down, he was ostensibly in a daze, but in fact he was testing a new spiritual communication link.The channel was activated earlier today: he suddenly received a brief contact request from the data terminal, and although the contact was immediately interrupted, the message frequency was left behind.If correct, this frequency is the only loophole in the full-band interference layer that hangs over the outer edge of the world of Kolo.At the moment, he is constantly fine-tuning his mental frequency and increasing the intensity of his calls, and the response signals from the depths of the mental connection are gradually becoming clear, and if all goes well, he may be able to resume contact with the outside world today.And just as he was immersed in the spiritual world, a knight walked by beside him, and Hao Ren looked up and saw a young girl with flaxen curly hair and freckles on her face standing in front of her, blinking at her with big curious eyes.Hao Ren thought about it, and then remembered that this should be one of the two guard knights who often follow the flag bearer - in Kolo's army sequence, the flag bearer is even more important than the grassroots commander, they have quite strong combat effectiveness, so they can be in charge of the golden glow battle flag at the same time can also repel monsters, and they will also have their own guard knight, this kind of guard knight is also a combat master, their only task in the army is to protect the battle flag, when the battle situation is urgent, They were even allowed to watch the commander die without rescuing them - because the army would not necessarily be wiped out if the commander fell, but once the flag bearer's heartbeat stopped, the entire army would be engulfed in chaos in an instant.The rustic-looking girl in front of her was the guard knight in charge of protecting the flag bearer in the team, but Hao Ren had never spoken to the other party, and he didn't know what she meant by coming over suddenly."
Hello," Hao Ren tried to greet the other party, "I remember that you are the one who guards the battle flag, called La......
What's going on?
”"Lavinia, Mr.
Guardian," the guard knight suddenly showed a rather happy expression when he heard Hao Ren take the initiative to greet him, and at the same time seemed to be a little nervous, "Ah......
I didn't mean to bother you, I just ......
Just ......"
"Just what?
”Hao Ren couldn't help but smile when he saw this freckled girl stepping on her feet alternately while talking, he knew from Veronica that the guard knights were the best among the knights, not only skilled, but also extraordinary, usually the children of nobles, and were very envied and respected by ordinary soldiers in the army, but this Lavinia in front of him really didn't look like these characteristics, "You relax, I don't eat people." ”"Oh," Lavinia nodded before she knew if she had heard it, and then asked with an expectant look in her eyes, "Guardian, did you really survive a thousand years ago?"
”Hao Ren was a little embarrassed all of a sudden, but thanks to the fact that he was also half a god, there was still a cuticle on his face at this critical moment: "Huh......
Pretty much......
I can't say clearly, but I'm certainly not from your generation. ”"Do you know what the world looked like a thousand years ago?"
Lavinia was even more happy, "I heard that the tide of chaos a thousand years ago was the most powerful one in history, but the mortals at that time were also the most powerful mortals in history, and the humans at that time were even immortal, and they could also build castles floating in the air to attack the realm of chaos, and there was a castle called 'Hodir' that fell on the gray sea, and the roar in the gray sea was the sound of the castle's magic power furnace constantly restarting......
"Hao Renxin said that he didn't know where the gray and white sea was, But he still kept a smile on his face and nodded there - at this time, it can be seen that this Lavinia should be a star chaser, she has been a guard for the Golden Radiant Battle Banner for a long time, and her mind is full of worship of the power of order, at this time, I am afraid that she will regard herself, the "guardian from ancient times", as some kind of idol.But Lavinia was there alone, and after expressing her longing for the ancient times for a while, she changed the topic and asked a little abruptly, "By the way, Lord Guardian, do you have any plans for us when you come to our country?"
”Hao Ren frowned: "Huh?
Why do you ask this?
”Lavinia smiled embarrassedly: "Eh, curiosity......"
Hao Ren thought for a while, and said half-truthfully: "First of all......
Find someone. ”"Looking for someone?!"
Lavinia suddenly seemed to hell, "Who are you looking for?"
”"A friend, follow me......
A team," a big fluffy tail flashed in Hao Ren's mind, "she was separated from me at the time, but I don't think she would run too far, most likely within the territory of your country." ”Lavinia looked at Hao Ren's eyes and became strange: "Lord Guardian, I want to remind you - it's now a thousand years later, and the person you are looking for ......"
The other party obviously regarded Hao Ren's current state as a time imbalance syndrome that had been sleeping for too long, and there was even a little sympathy and forbearance in his words, Hao Ren had long expected her reaction, so he didn't care at the moment, just smiled: "I know, but I'm sure she's still alive."
Didn't you just say that our people in the previous generation were immortal, so if you didn't die on the battlefield, wouldn't you live until now?
”Lavinia was suddenly a little embarrassed: "But ......"
At this moment, a sudden voice in Hao Ren's mind interrupted his conversation with the guard knight lady: "......
Reply, the terminal called Hao Ren, heard the call back, the terminal called ......"
Hao Ren was stunned, and then rejoiced: the communication was finally restored!
He waved his hand vigorously in Lavinia's puzzled gaze, and then immediately sank down: "Received and received—mom, you can talk to me, what's going on outside?"
”"It's all over!"
Hao Ren first heard the sound of the data terminal whirring from the opposite side, as if he was reporting good news to others, and then he heard a chaotic shouting coming from the channel, and Izax's loud voice was particularly refreshing: "Hurry up and ask him about the situation over there!"
”"Partner, everything is normal on our side, nothing happened in space since you disappeared, we've been floating in place for more than a week," the data terminal temporarily blocked the voices of others, "How is it going on your side?"
”"I'm fine on my side, I fell into a strange ...... called 'Kolo' I don't know if it's a planet or a place in another space, there's a war going on here, and it's a bit difficult to brush alone, but I've teamed up with the locals," Hao Ren said quickly, "It's just that I'm separated from Lily—the space turbulence blew us apart." ”There was silence on the other side of the communication link for a few seconds, it seemed that the data terminal was adjusting the pointing of the life sensor, and after a while, the voice sounded again: "Don't worry, her life state is all right, huh......
I feel healthier than I did at home. ”Although the data terminal can't directly make mental contact with people other than Hao Ren, it can monitor the life characteristics of everyone in Hao Ren's team - this is a function that Hao Ren specially added to it after many group missions, just in case, and now it seems that this function really came in handy.Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the terminal's words, he was originally worried that Lily would fall into the Chaos Realm, but now that he heard that the other party's health status had not decreased but increased, then there was no need to worry so much: that husky spirit had probably fallen in a place where there were no enemies and there was plenty of food.She couldn't get healthy without enough food......
And just then, a noise of interference suddenly sounded in the channel."
What's going on?
I just heard a murmur all of a sudden. ”"The communication link is not too stable yet," the voice of the data terminal was a little distorted, and the tone was quite rapid, "This is a temporary letter......
It needs to be recalibrated several times......
There is no way to break through the space blockade now, ...... you over there" Hao Ren suddenly became anxious: "Eh, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking......"
But the voice of the data terminal on the other side has become more and more ethereal, and soon it is almost impossible to hear anything, and at the moment when the communication is about to be interrupted, Vivian's voice interjected without warning: "Hao Ren!"
Take care of yourself!
If you can't beat it, remember to run!
”Hao Ren was stunned, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I know ......"
The communication was interrupted at this time.
