After saying goodnight, Miss Magician waved her wand and floated towards the outer wall of the tower, walking along the wall of the tower as if on flat ground to her laboratory and bedroom at the top of the tower.After she left, Nangong Sanba sighed: "Aha, I didn't expect this Miss Leah to be an atheist." ”"Strictly speaking, the unworshippers, or the contemptuous," Vivien corrected seriously, "Atheism is the one who doesn't believe in the existence of gods at all, and Leah is the one who doesn't have much respect for gods regardless of whether they exist or not—this is actually normal, magicians are inherently indifferent to religion, after all, they themselves study the laws of nature and the truth of the universe, and they are naturally unwilling to set up a god to explain everything, which is not in line with the way of thinking of researchers." ”"It's really dramatic," Hao Ren looked up at the sky, the Broken Heaven Kingdom had left the highest point of the night sky at this moment, and was slowly sliding to the other side of the sky along the trajectory from east to west, gradually hidden in the sea of stars, "The land where the Kingdom of God fell, the place where the Goddess of Creation has the strongest influence, has now given birth to scholars like Leah, no wonder Raven 12345 once lamented that the gods are a property, but if the water pipe does not leak for two consecutive months, the residents can forget that there is a property in their community......"
Nangong May pouted, not commenting on the goddess's sister's distinctive metaphor, she and Hao Ren looked up at the fragmented celestial wreckage together, and her tone was uncertain: "Landlord, do you think those are really the remnants of the Founding Star?"
”"I'm just guessing," Hao Ren said, "After all, we don't know how many celestial bodies were dragged into the dark realm when the Founding Star exploded, and we don't know if those celestial bodies that were dragged in together were as fragmented as the Founding Star, so the ones floating in the sky could be the Founding Star, or it could be something else."
The biggest problem now is that Nolan can't leave the atmosphere, he can't even shoot a detector, and there is too little to see from optical observations. ”Nolan had been silent since the beginning of the day, and only then did he reconnect: "Boss, I was looking at the fragments of the celestial bodies with an optical detector, and in the part where they were heading towards Rahrien, I did find the remains of an artificial object - it seems to be some kind of pedestal, which has been badly damaged.In addition, small fragments of buildings were also observed in the space between the wreckage, and they may have been the temple of the goddess of creation. ”Hao Ren pondered for a moment: "Hmm......
This adds some credibility to the assumption that the 'Shattered Heaven' floating above Rahrion is the wreckage of the Founding Star. ”Nangong May shook the tip of his tail: "Isn't the surface of the Founding Star covered with a layer of red seawater?"
Is it all evaporated?
”Itzhax nodded: "It's hard to say, such a large-scale energy explosion, even the entire planet is torn apart, and the probability of the liquid Sea of Origin being completely evaporated is quite high, but the Sea of Origin is not a real sea water, nor is it a standard source blood, who knows what its physical properties are?"
”Hao Ren thought for a moment and began to assign tasks: "Nolan, you continue to try to launch probes into space, collect various physical parameters of this 'Rahrain' continent at the same time, find a way to find out the reason why you can't get out of the atmosphere, and at the same time don't stop tracking the Broken Heaven, and find a way to draw the relative trajectory of it and the Rahrien continent, so that even if we are trapped in the atmosphere, we can at least toss a rough celestial model."
The others should continue to act according to the original plan, and follow Leah to the Great Tunnel to see if they can find the historical reason why this world has evolved into what it is today. ”The next night was spent uneventful.By the time we set off the next day, it was already noon.The group enjoyed a small but delicious lunch in Leah's Mage Tower, and then followed Miss Mage to the open space in front of the Mage Tower.Leah pulled out a delicate brass carriage model from the pocket of her old faded robes, and threw it to the ground as she chanted a spell, and with a creaking sound, the brass model the size of a palm turned into a fully structured carriage before everyone's eyes.In front of the carriage was even a bronze horse assembled with gears, clockwork, springs and levers."
Awesome, right?"
Seeing the surprised look on Hao Ren's face, Leah looked very proud, "This is something I made with my own hands—something restored from an ancient document found in a certain ruin.Tsk, those idiots laugh at my research, they don't know how much valuable knowledge is waiting to be dug up in those ancient relics. ”No, no, no, Miss Mage, those people are laughing at the risk of your every action and the price you offer for it......
Hao Ren held back the desire to complain in his heart.
Look, watching Leah expertly inspect the gears and clockwork of the alchemical bronze horse, and embed a new mana crystal in the back of the bronze horse, after tossing for a few minutes, the bronze horse let out a shrill hiss, and the connecting rods and bearings in its belly began to work happily."
Let's go~" Leah turned over and jumped into the carriage, and at the same time stretched out her hand to invite Elizabeth who was standing next to Izax, "There can be a person sitting on here, the child will come with me~~" Elizabeth suddenly became furious: "You are a child!"
You've been a kid all your life!
”"Cut, if you don't sit, you won't sit.But you don't have to worry about following me all the way to the destination, let's go to the west first, and rent a horse for you, the place we are going to is not close. ”Miss Magician was obviously in a very good mood, as if deliberately to show that she had pulled a group of people, and she also drove the highly conspicuous brass carriage to the door of the mercenary guild, and at the same time pulled the whistle on the car - Hao Ren was quite skeptical that if this thing was driving on Earth, it would become a high-beam dog and a horn dog, and people would be killed within ten meters of the road.After some exertion, Leah got down to business, helping Hao Ren and his party prepare their horses and bags, and went to the shop to replenish some commonly used spell casting materials and dry food for travel, and finally left the place almost under the send-off of the mercenaries in the city.The expressions on the faces of the mercenaries who heard the news and came to see them off were simply undisguised.It's not easy for a person to be like Leah to the point of being angry.The towering walls of White Maple Leaf City gradually faded away in view, and the group left the avenue not long after leaving the city, and began to follow Leah's guidance to step on the paths and even beast paths that few travelers had set foot on, looking at the direction of this advance, this route seemed to be parallel to the mountain direction of Changfeng Ridge.Leah's marvelous alchemy carriage once again showed the uncanny side: it seemed bulky, but it was able to ride exceptionally smoothly on rough paths, and the bronze horse, driven by gears and clockwork, walked on the wild paths as smoothly as if it were even better than a real horse."
It's something I'm indispensable for my journey," Leah pulled down the foldable roof of the carriage, which made it easier for her to chat with Hao Ren and his party who were walking next to her on horseback, and Miss Magician patted the carriage with pride, "I've been to the deep mountains of Changfeng Ridge, to the hinterland of the Great Plains, and even through the Great Tunnel of Changfeng Ridge, to the Hekluvian Tribal State across the mountain range.Ah, it's only when you go out that you realize how big the world really is, and what you can see in books is just a drop of water in the endless sea compared to the real world, and those diehards who lock themselves in the magic tower all day will never understand. ”Speaking of this, she glanced at Hao Ren with a smile: "Of course, you adventurers who run around all day must have more say in this regard than me. ”Looking at the simple and cheerful smile on Miss Magician's face, Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the sassy and heroic posture she had scolded the street with a group of people at the door of the mercenary union before.It's like two people.It seems that in addition to encountering things that really make her angry, this magician lady is still very approachable when facing friends or areas of interest to herself.Of course, the ruin that Leah was looking for couldn't be in a crowded place, in fact, it was even farther away from White Maple City than Leah had described.The group trekked in the wild for two whole days.It was only at noon on the third day that they finally reached the entrance to a forest.It is a dense jungle next to the Changfeng Ridge Mountains, where the mountains bend and form a hollow bow-shaped "haven" in which the towering ancient trees thrive lush and vibrant.Countless ancient trees that are a hundred years old or more stand here, and the dense canopy of the trees shades the sunlight, making the entire forest as dark as dusk, even if it is noon at the moment, Hao Ren and his party still feel as if it is approaching evening not long after entering the forest.Soon, they were in a place where ordinary horses could not go any further: vines and rotting leaves made it more difficult to walk on horseback, and it was better to trust their legs than to ride on the back of a rickety horse.After all, it's not ordinary people standing here.Nangong Sanba used the Leta rune to carve a ban on the surrounding tree trunks to prevent the horses from running around or a wild beast coming in and injuring everyone's mounts, while Leah re-turned the brass carriage to the size of a palm and carefully retracted it into her pocket.Before leading everyone to continue to the dense forest, she specifically mentioned: "It will be a little dangerous further on, according to the records, the ruins are not completely underground, it is partially exposed, which is likely to lead to the leakage of magical energy, and the creatures in the forest will be full of aggression." ”Lily muttered, "......
It's really an old-fashioned setting. ”Leah didn't hear it for a moment: "Huh?
”Lily quickly rounded things up: "Oh, I mean we're experienced!
”Hao Ren didn't participate in the topic, he just concentrated and carefully sensed any wind and grass in this forest.Because I don't know if it's an illusion, from the moment he entered this place, he always felt a sense of disobedience haunting his heart, which was difficult to describe, and he had to say it......
It was like suddenly falling into a slight trance, unable to understand why I was standing in this place, and feeling inexplicable about what was happening around me, as if some kind of force was blocking my mind and slowing my spirit.This made him greatly more vigilant.
