Everyone present realized that the crisis was coming, but the little prince Andrew, who didn't know what was going on like an ignorant child, inexplicably glanced at the adults and his two sisters who suddenly fell silent, and hesitated to speak: "What is the light of Asuman?"
”As soon as Hao Ren heard this question, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the little prince in his heart: It's really a divine assist, because he doesn't know what the light of Assuman is, but he is really embarrassed to ask at this time......
Rudolf III glanced at his only son in disappointment, and the old scholar Alfred sighed slightly: "Your Royal Highness, you have learned these things - the light of Asuman is the brightest lighthouse in the world of Kolo, and it is located in the ...... of the Sanctuary" The light of Asuman is not a light, but a crystal mountain at the top of the Sanctuary.There are a total of five fragmented continents in the world of Kolo, among which the Ansu continent, the glow continent and the land of eternal winter are the realms of the secular kingdom, and the secret realm of Kanaan is permanently shrouded in darkness and mist, these four continents are divided in the four corners of the world, rising and falling in the tides of the Sea of Karnos, constantly pushed by the wrestling of chaos and order, and the sanctuary is floating in the center of the four continents, just like the center of this Kolo world, looking down on the entire secular realm with a unique geographical advantage.Unlike the other four continents, the Sanctuary is never invaded by the forces of Chaos.For in the middle of the spiraling earth of the Sanctuary stands a glorious legacy of the gods: the Crystal Mountain of Asuman, also known as the Light of Assuman.It is said that this holy mountain is crystal clear throughout, it is made of white crystals, its mountain is steep and towering, mortals can hardly climb, the crystal that forms the holy mountain is indestructible, and the secular power cannot shake its cent, the holy mountain towers on the earth, there are three rings of shining gems around, and the largest city in the holy area, the largest holy place in the hearts of the goddess of creation, the "city of divine favors" is located in the ring of the three gems, the city is divided into three parts, respectively named the ring of mortals, the path of the sages and the side of the divine will.Standing in the middle of the earth, the crystal mountain Asuman releases a soft and divine light day and night, which is the source of all the light of order in this world, and its light will never be extinguished, so it will also permanently isolate the holy realm from the power of chaos, so people also call the holy realm the "final fortress", that is, once the tide of chaos is unstoppable and the mortals of the order world are completely defeated, this continent will become the last refuge for mortals, and the flame of civilization will not be extinguished.It's a pity that the Sanctuary is the smallest of the five continents, and it is far from being able to shelter all the humans in this world, and even if this "final barrier" is really impregnable, people don't want to see it come in handy at the moment."
The Sacred Weapons of Order used by the countries of the various continents today are actually imitations of the Light of Asumman, whether it is a small furnace fire device or a large Flame Tower, or a Sunburn Tower at the level of the town and country, in principle, it is using secular matter to release the energy field of the Light of Asumman, and the demonic minerals collected from around the Crystal Sacred Mountain are the necessary energy cores of the large Orderly Hallows, and these minerals have always been controlled by the Order State- They distribute the ration of these minerals throughout the world of Kolo according to the situation of each Chaos War, but on the whole it is fair and generous. ”Hao Ren understood the significance of the Crystal Sacred Mountain to the entire Kolo world, and his forehead sweated a little: "The extinguishment of the light of Asuman means ......"
General Grohn snorted: "Hmph, the Sacred Realm that will never fall also has the possibility of being breached, Chaos is no longer just a nightmare for the secular kingdom, from now on, the people of the Sacred Land will also face the tide of chaos on the land of their homeland." ”Maester Alfred was even more to the point: "The end of the world is no longer a fantasy, but a matter of probability—as soon as the Sanctuary falls, the end will come in an instant." ”Hao Ren blinked: "So the reason why the Order State withdrew its troops ahead of schedule is because there is a huge crisis within the Holy Domain, and before the light of Asuman is extinguished, I am afraid that the Order State will not be able to hold it out......
What role do the Oblivion Cultists play in this?
”"Annihilation cultists and the forces of chaos have always advanced and retreated together, and it can even be said that they are one, their roles are not only accomplices and minions, but also part of the tide of chaos," Princess Ania's face turned a little pale, she had already thought of what happened in Talos, "The action of annihilation of the cultists means the action of chaos, so the battle situation in the west really has their hands and feet......"
Hao Ren took a breath: "A group of cultists can have this kind of power. ”"They are no ordinary cultists," Grand Duke Lune glanced at him, "they have been operating on the continent since the day of the fall of Lokmadon, and because they are protected by the forces of Chaos, when the kingdoms rise and fall in the chaos wars, the Annihilation Cult has almost never suffered major damage, so they have even surpassed any kingdom in the world in terms of inheritance, and if it weren't for the same ancient Sanctuary constantly attacking them, those cultists would have ruled all lands except the Sanctuary a long time ago." ”Hao Ren smacked his lips, now he no longer wondered why a high-ranking king of the kingdom like Count Willie was actually an Annihilation Cultist - it could even be said that there was probably more than one cultist among the founding ancestors of Talos, and some families might even believe in Lockmarton from top to bottom, and their belief was far older than any country on the continent itself.This is truly a breathtaking cult situation, and I am afraid that it is difficult to see such a scene anywhere else except in the world of Kolo."
The secular kingdom is riddled with holes infiltrated by the Annihilationists, but to be honest, they have never acted with great fanfare before, because the light of the Assuman illuminates the darkness, and the never-falling Sanctuary and the never-ending Chaos maintain a long-term balance, and as the minions of Chaos, the Annihilation Cultists do not dare to come to the fore," Rudolf III's face was very gloomy, and the sun shone through the carved window on his robes, casting flecks of light and darkness, "but now everything has changed: the light of the Assuman is extinguished, The tides of chaos show no signs of abating in a year of decline, but are intensifying, new monsters and dark forces are emerging in the wilderness, we are experiencing an unprecedented upheaval, and the laws of the world that have not changed for thousands of years are becoming less reliable.What Veronica saw in the West was only the beginning of this evil force, and I had a hunch that it would explode even more violently, and only in the morning. ”The defeat of a border war in a southern kingdom on the continent of Ansu a month ago was finally linked to the fate of the entire world, and it became a harbinger of a dark future approaching."
Father," Princess Ania thought for a moment, breaking her silence, "isn't it unique what happened in the Kingdom of Taros?"
”Rudolf III looked deeply at his brilliant daughter and said nothing."
Talos is just a small kingdom in the corner of the continent of Ansu, its heir is of great significance to this country, but it is insignificant to the whole world, I can feel that a great shadow is hanging over the whole world, and under this shadow, the three of us are not very special," Ania said, looking at Veronica and Andrew respectively, "but the Annihilation Sect is going to great lengths to get rid of us, and there is only one possibility: they are not only targeting us. ”Rudolf III exhaled tiredly and tilted his head slightly: "Dark, you can come on." ”The mysterious woman standing behind the king finally stepped forward slightly: this was the only time she had made a move since the negotiations in the chamber had begun.This mysterious woman, who was guessed by Hao Ren as a secret agent and agent, did not remove her disguise, she spoke, her voice seemed to be a little distorted by magic, and she could only hear a hoarse female voice: "In the past half month, the two princes of the Beacon Fire Country have suffered battlefield accidents, one is confirmed dead, the other is tentatively missing, the eldest princess has suffered a nameless curse, and she is currently unconscious, the second princess and the third princess are infected with a serious disease and are currently dying; The only daughter of the Frost Queen of the Eternal Winter Continent suffered a nameless curse and fell asleep, and the Ice Dragon Queen had many heirs, among which the six heirs who were eligible for inheritance all suffered various ' Accident', two are currently dead, two are missing, two are dying, and the three heirs of the King of the Wizard of the North Wind have also been confirmed to have been assassinated or cursed, but there is no more detailed news from the Wizard King's side; 。
”The mysterious woman named "Dark" has an excellent memory, and she can finish all this information in one breath without reading the information, and the expression on Princess Ania's face changes dramatically as she speaks.Archduke Lune tapped his finger on the armrest of his seat: "We can believe that every earthly kingdom is under attack, and their target is the descendants of various royal families. ”The secret room was quiet for a while, no one spoke anymore, and the faces of Count Willie and black-robed Lamor appeared in Hao Ren's mind, those cultists who have endured since ancient times, those fanatics who maintain an extremely ancient and extremely secret goal, they have waited for 10,000 years, and it seems that they have finally waited for this moment, so they opened all the hole cards at once, and tore the order of the mortal world with lightning speed.The darkness is rising, the light is retreating, chaos is taking the place of order in the world of Kolo, and what is happening in the secular kingdoms seems to send a signal: behold, the general assault has begun.
