Chapter 119: Mist Exploration Team If the Longmian Continent is simplified to an inverted triangle after simplifying the edge details, and the Eternal Mist is a perfect circle that envelops the Longmian Continent in it, the northwest tip of the Orc's Barbarian Beast Plateau is only about two hundred kilometers away from the Eternal Mist, and standing on the land there, you can even directly see the terrifying existence that has appeared for nearly 10,000 years and has devoured countless land lives.
According to the High Elves, the formation of the Eternal Mist was due to the final decisive battle between the gods and the demon gods, which shattered the very essence of this world, according to the gods, the world will completely revert to nothingness in 10,000 years, so the gods decided to leave this world with the tribes he created to resettle in a world they had found before.
There will be some outliers in any race, especially the high elves, who are naturally extremely stubborn, there are almost ordinary high elves who refuse to leave their homes, even the orders of the gods who created them cannot make them change their will, after some of the high elves followed the gods to the heavenly realm, the remaining high elves established the elven empire and are committed to extending the life of the world.
And the other overlord of that era, the goblin clan, although they were also created by the gods, but they belonged to the failed products created by the gods, and their strength was too weak to withstand the harsh natural environment of the heavenly realm, so they also left behind with their resentment towards the gods.
This incident also led to the hatred of the goblins towards the High Elves, and became the direct trigger for the subsequent tens of thousands of years of war.
According to records, about two hundred years after the gods led the Titans and other races to the heavenly realm, the Eternal Mist appeared on the surface of the sea, the initial scope of the Eternal Mist was not large, and the mist, which covered only a few square kilometers, attracted the attention of the goblin clan after devouring several goblin fishing boats one after another, and since that time the goblin clan has begun to study this mist, and later the high elves also joined the research team after learning the news.
As time passed, the Eternal Mist gradually grew slowly, and although no one was swallowed up in the Warning Zone, watching this fog that made goblins and High Elves helpless little by little, there was a bad premonition in the hearts of those who knew the situation in both races.
Finally, after a thousand years, the Eternal Mist arrived on the nearest continent, and the disaster of the Eternal Mist officially began, and the races living on that continent had no way to deal with the mist, and the living space was gradually swallowed by the various races of the Eternal Mist, and there was no choice but to fight for the remaining living space.
The endless war lasted for nearly 10,000 years, and the last remaining races desperately guarded on the last piece of land waiting for fate to come, that is, at this time, the High Elves launched all their forces to launch the final decisive battle against the goblins, and the result of the decisive battle was that the glorious civilization of the High Elves and the goblins has completely become history, and then in the melee the year before last, the original hairy and blood-drinking humans stood up from the ruins of the war and became the strongest in this world.
And at this time, the various races on the continent found that the Eternal Mist had stopped advancing, and for thousands of years, the Eternal Mist had maintained the posture of surrounding the Longmian Continent but had not taken a step forward, the specific reason was not clear, this history may still be recorded in the elf clan as the successor of the High Elves, but as a short-lived human race, it belongs to the forgetful race, and the humans who have long been accustomed to the mist floating on the sea Now no one is worried about the Eternal Mist, Even when humans found the misty metal at the bottom of the sea, they began to approach the mist that had devoured countless races like moths to a fire, just to get a little bit of the metal full of magical power.
At this moment, what Zhao Yannian saw in front of him was such a picture of moths fighting fire, a large number of sailboats were moored on the sea, some small fishing boats were put down from those big boats, and quickly approached the fog, and then some toned men and women with bronze skin and only wearing leather clothes that could just cover jumped into the sea with some rudimentary tools.
The researchers of the Zhan Wuyan were standing in line behind Zhao Yannian at this time, and the Falcon quietly and quickly passed through the cluster of sailing ships and approached the mist.
"Hey!
Who are you!?
This is our Neptune's mine, so if you don't want to cause trouble, leave quickly.
After the Falcon had stopped at a safe distance, a dinghy approached the Falcon with several sturdy men, and a young man with a harpoon shouted to the Falcon.
Hearing the man's shout, a guard in leather armor jumped up from the Falcon and landed on the bow of the dinghy like a nimble ape, and just as the shirtless men pointed their harpoons at him with a look of fear, the warrior pulled a document from his bosom.
"We are the Mist Exploration Team sent by the War Arms Research Institute directly under the Supreme Council of the Kingdom, this is a territory-wide passage order signed by the Duke of Constance on Thousand Sails Island, and anyone who tries to block and interfere with the research work can be killed unconditionally, so get out of here after seeing it clearly."
The guards of Zhan Wuyan were selected directly from the direct legions of the king, and most of these noble children who were born in the royal capital did not care about the sea king or the heavenly king, and in their eyes, no one had the right to hinder their work unless they were members of the Supreme Council.
"It turned out to be a master from the mainland, I'm sorry to disturb, please please, you are light."
Although the leading man is young, he is old and sophisticated, of course, it is impossible to do the kind of thing that contradicts the nobles, especially this kind of nobles who have a large number of titles in the kingdom and the supreme council, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance, so the man immediately pressed the harpoon under his hand and humbly apologized.
"It's good to know."
After glancing at the subordinates of the Sea King Regiment who looked a little unsightly, the soldier turned around and prepared to leave.
"Fred, bring some gentlemen to the ship, I just have something to inquire about."
Zhao Yannian stopped when he saw that Fred, the guard of Zhan Wuyan, wanted to drive away those local miners.
"Yes!
Lord Earl.
Fred turned back to the boat and gave a military salute, then turned back to the members of the Sea King Regiment and made a gesture of invitation.
"Brother Hausman, should we go over?"
A member of the Aquaman group asked in a low voice to the young man in the lead.
"Of course we have to go, do you think we can have good fruit to eat if we refuse?"
After saying this, the man named Haussman began to order his subordinates to bring the dinghy close to the Falcon, and because the surface of the Falcon was painted with white paint, Haussman and the others realized that the ship was all made of metal when they boarded the deck.
"My dear, how much does it cost to make such an iron ship."
The man, named Hausman, couldn't help but be amazed after seeing the various facilities on the Falcon, knowing that even the Poseidon was the flagship of Duke Constance's fleet was only the same length as this low white sailing ship, and the Poseidon was still made of wood, only with some metal armor on the outside of the hull.
The main reason why the Poseidon was able to dominate the seas was that it carried a large number of mages, and from the moment Hausman got on the ship, except for a few maids and sailors, he saw either warriors in armor or mages in robes.
After seeing the powerful power of this ship, Hausman secretly instructed his subordinates to be honest and not to contradict these old men from the royal capital, and the soldier Fred who was responsible for leading the way just smiled after hearing these words and ignored them.
Several members of the Sea King Regiment were brought into a cabin, and Zhao Yannian then walked in, for these adventurers who have been begging for a life on the side of the Eternal Mist all year round, Zhao Yannian is very willing to communicate with them, if they can get some experience in facing the Eternal Mist from their mouths, whether it is the analysis of the Eternal Mist or the safety of the researchers, it will be of great benefit.
Under Zhao Yannian's psychological hints, several members of the Sea King Regiment soon told all the things they knew.
The Sea Kings are a large sea adventure group on Thousand Sails Island, and their usual activities include catching sea monsters, various products from the seabed, and of course, the most important source of income for them is the collection of misty mines.
The climate at the southern tip of the Longmian Continent is as warm as spring all year round, and the known misty mines in the human world are distributed here, and those bronze men and women in short leather coats are the miners of the misty mines, and they can stay underwater for half an hour with alchemy potions, as long as they can find a small piece of misty metal in the rubble on the bottom of the sea in half an hour, then their day's work is completed.
Of course, the risk of this kind of work is very huge, there are countless powerful demonic beasts on the bottom of the sea, even a powerful warrior who can unleash his fighting spirit can only protect himself in the face of those huge and ferocious sea beasts in the deep sea.
And the sea beast is only one of the dangers in the ocean, the eternal fog is not fixed according to Haussmann, these fogs of unknown origin will rise and fall like the tide of the sea, and there is no regularity, if you are accidentally swallowed by the fog then no matter who will definitely die, so far no one has ever been able to escape from the fog, not even the corpse has been seen.
According to Hausman's experience, Zhao Yannian officially began his exploration of the Eternal Mist after arranging a 24-hour lookout for the Falcon.
A reconnaissance robot with a long metal cable was lowered into the sea, and inside the robot, Zhao Yannian's detector made of radioactive metal radium obtained from Sparker had been turned on, and through the Falcon's display, all the researchers were holding their breath and waiting for the detection image to be transmitted.
The small submarine-type robot slowly drove into the endless fog.
