There is a way to be born once and mature again, as the second time to enter the long river of time, or to take the initiative to enter the situation, Amon is much calmer.He can calmly accept that he is swimming against the current in the long river of time, calmly watching the ever-changing colors around him.Because of his calmness, he tried to see the long river of time with his own eyes for the first time.To say that this is a long river, that is really just an adjective, in Amon's perception, it should be an endless expanse of darkness, with countless mottled points of light flickering and changing rapidly.Because it was moving at high speed, he couldn't look closely at the points of light, but in a flash, he could still see the changes of characters and scenes that seemed to unfold like a picture scroll, as if a movie had been recorded.Of course, there wasn't much time for him to savor it, and Atlantis' pan-consciousness had dragged them swiftly towards a brightly colored spot.I saw that the picture scroll in front of them quickly unfolded and enlarged, and there was a familiar sense of elongation, and when they came back to their senses, everything in front of them had changed.This is the time when Atlantis went back 10,000 years ago, and it was the period of the reign of the gods, and what was initially revealed in front of Amon and Fao was the mature Ming form under the system of the gods.There are opposing empires, holy wars waged in the name of faith, and countless warriors who sacrifice their lives to spread different doctrines.There is a powerful Church of the Gods, where secular kingship is worthless, and they bow their heads and ask the Pope to bring them a crown.There are hidden sects, evil gods, the confrontation between good and evil, the shadow of death, the fear of killing, and the pervasive struggle that forces mortals to believe in a certain being in order to gain refuge.There are more ignorant farmers, greedy merchants, corrupt aristocrats, attacking churches, and the never-ending struggle for faith and pervasive friction between the gods.Of course, there is also a flourishing magic here, a web woven by the goddess of magic, Mistra, that can be found in all corners of the plane.It provided a more convenient network of beliefs for the gods, made it easier for mortals to learn magic, led to a significant increase in the number of mages, and ensured that the profession flourished.While it also limits the height of mage's growth, there is no doubt that it represents the most advanced productivity in Atlantis.The popularity of magic has led to an increase in the number of magic net mages, and even benefited the development of agriculture and the circulation of commerce, and enough food means that more mortals can be fed, and the gods have more faith and pious souls.Everything, under the surface of chaos and strife, is what the gods want to see, which ensures the base of the population and maintains the vitality of the church and the endless flow of faith.They have finally set Atlantis on the path they had hoped for.If nothing happens, this pattern will continue for countless years.Empires may be destroyed, families can perish, and even the Church's control over the spread of faith and geography will change, but this form of clarity will not waver.In the end, the gods will always be the big winners of everything.Accidents will always come suddenly, inadvertently.As soon as the screen turns, Amon and Fao come to another terrible scene, which is the collapse of the magic web.As the weaver, master, and maintainer of the magic web, the unique and great existence of the whole of Atlantis, even among the gods, is a well-deserved top of the pyramid, and the goddess of magic, Mystra, has lost contact with her followers.He has fallen!
The reason is unknown, and even the gods can hardly imagine why such a powerful god could fall?
But that's the result!
The direct consequence of the fall of the Magic Lady is the collapse of the magic web, the turmoil of the entire Atlantis rule level, the turbulence of the elements, and the collapse of the magic light built on it, and the short-term truncation of the belief network of the gods.It was a time of great chaos, a dark hour in the history of Atlantis that was comparable to the Abyssal Plague, where the old order collapsed without warning, and the new order was far from being established.In between, the mortals of Atlantis seem to have lost their tomorrow and hope, accustomed to the existence of faith and the guidance of the gods.But now, it's all gone!
After the confusion and helplessness, there is betrayal, it is killing, it is death, it is rebellion, it is chaos and turmoil that spreads throughout the plane, and it seems that there is no end.However, as long as Ming is not destroyed in an instant, he will always find a way out, and although the collapse of the magic net has destroyed the original order and the magic system of the magic net, it has also loosened the restrictions on those truly talented mages.When a former legendary spellcaster connected with some of his remaining spell-casting ability to some existence outside the surface, a spell-casting method that did not rely on magic nets quietly began to spread in Atlantis.They abandoned their original mage name and instead called themselves spellcasters.They don't have the number of mages they once had, but standing on top of the wreckage of the mage system, they have unlimited growth ability and the right way forward.When the first floating mage tower was established in the plane without the support of the magic net, it marked that the mortal species of Atlantis had found a new way out.When the aftermath of the collapse of the web gradually subsided, and the power of the gods descended on Atlantis again, they were shocked to find that the whole world was already under a new ruling order.It was the time of spellcasters!
Naturally, the gods were not willing to be defeated, they gathered the remnants of the church, mobilized the fanatics, found the remnants of the imperial power, put aside the contradictions, and united.They even sent out the Celestial Legions.Legions of otherworldly emissaries transformed by the once devout followers of Atlantis have stepped on the path of light and walked out of the kingdom of God.At this moment, the power of the gods was in full view, but they were unable to turn the situation around.An alliance of spellcasters, who have gained the support of a powerful force from outside the plane, have established a war system based on the floating city, with the mage tower as the node, and the golem army as the main combat force, which can reduce the dimension and attack all corners of Atlantis in a very short time.Eventually, they ended the Age of the Gods, as well as the chaos of Atlante, and ushered in a new era.This is the Arcane Era.However, for the gods, war is only one of their means, and defeat never means the end.They are eternal beings, and time is not important to them, so they are patient enough and never care about a momentary failure.They relinquished the dominion of Atlantis and just waited patiently.The picture turns again, it is countless years after the arcane era, after years of inheritance and development, Atlantis's spellcaster alliance has gradually become stronger, and their exploration steps have even gone beyond the plane, and the floating city can travel in the astral plane and the chaotic sea.But they also became arrogant, proud, and relaxed their vigilance against the crisis.Until one day, the elemental tide reached a certain turning point, and when the elemental surge of Atlantis began to turn from extreme victory to decline, a powerful being shrouded in mist and a graceful and bewitching body quietly descended.The fog shrouded his form and blinded the eyes of mortals, and he ignored the natives of Atlantis, wandering beyond the plane with purpose.It took Him seven days to travel all the corners of the plane beyond the barriers.As an outsider, he couldn't understand things at all, and everywhere he went, he just grabbed it out of thin air, as if he was holding something in his hand again.Seven days later, when he had finished all his work, and then, somewhere beyond the void, he could no longer hide his strength, and in the midst of the infinite radiance, he threw his arms like a fisherman and drew a great net.Then, it tightened, tightened, tightened, tightened, as if to catch all the big fish in the net.The violent fluctuations finally caught the attention of the Spellcaster Alliance, and they mobilized the Floating City to start moving here, but by the time they arrived, the one had already left, leaving only the endless aftermath of the void that was slowly dissipating.In this regard, the Spellcaster Alliance attaches great importance to this, and they have sent a team of thousands of people, led by demigod spellcasters, dozens of highly professional spellcasters as the backbone, to conduct a carpet investigation.But as a result, nothing was found.And in the corners they didn't notice, the elemental power from the Chaos Sea and the elemental exchange within the plane began to decrease dramatically, as if the upstream water flow had been built into a strong dike, and the downstream water source would only become less and less, until the dry riverbed and silt were exposed.Atlantis, at this point, officially entered the period of decline of the elemental tides.The Orfamines have lost the foundation of their existence.Of course, only Amon and Fao saw clearly that one existed, and before leaving, he casually threw the thread in his hand into the Atlantean plane.It's like a big net cast by a fisherman, which always leaves a long rope to be fixed somewhere, waiting for the day when the net needs to be pulled.And that landing point, Amon and Fao couldn't help but look after it, they saw it, they saw that landing point.It is a holy place recognized by all the churches of Atlantis, the place where the gods are said to have descended.That's the holy city, Jerusalem!
At this moment, what even the author of a book didn't understand has actually been revealed.The reason why the gods chose to seal the elemental tides, which can be called a thankless way, is actually to destroy a great era.It is to end the Arcane Era created by the caster.And as the main body of the sealing element tide, it can even be said that the necessary conditions are actually the remnants of the magic net.Of course, all this also points to the direction of Atlantis's final redemption, where the that seals the elemental tides is located, the thread that binds the magic web.That was the goal of Amon and Fao.That's the holy city, Jerusalem!
The story, no matter how ups and downs it is, has an end.Dreams, no matter how long they are, also have lucid moments.The next morning, deep in the dragon's lair, Amon returned from the nightmare world and sat in bed for a long time.His mind was full of stories that had happened in this nightmare, so many that his thoughts were extremely chaotic.The amount of information he gained from this nightmare trip was really too large, not to mention the things he had seen about the Arcane Age over time, not to mention the battle between His Majesty the Dragon Lancer Awani and the Will of the Six-armed Serpent Demon Queen.It was that book, which contained the secrets of the gods and all kinds of mystical knowledge, enough for him to study carefully for countless days and nights.Shaking his head and shaking off all kinds of complicated thoughts, Amon got up, left the bed, stretched his muscles, and slowly walked into the study on the side.The study is not large, it is round in shape, in fact, it was specially opened up when it was built, but it has only been arranged in the past few days.As soon as I entered the door, there was a desk in front of me, and all the shelves were placed around the walls, and at this time, there were already some books on the shelves, no, but they were all moved from the large library by Amun.Amon sat down at his desk and looked up to see the core of the entire dragon's lair, an elemental pool filled with colorful light, and inside it, the red dragon Otrass was sleeping soundly.Because of the hectic situation in Kelmar City during this time, although Amon has formulated a plan for the Dragon Breeding Plan, no one supervises it, and basically, Ottrus is still in a period of savage growth.I also have to say that the giant dragon is really a race that can cultivate while sleeping.With abundant elements and a good environment, Ottrus now sleeps for more than ten days, and when he is awake, he catches, eats, excretes, and then goes to the next deep sleep.With this kind of routine, his size is still growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and his breath is getting thicker and thicker.Amon is looking forward to the moment when he can ride Otross and soar into the sky, although with the combat skills he has mastered now, he can also run in the sky, but it is still not the same as riding a dragon.It is worth mentioning that when King Khakassia and Queen Paric left and Wade began to take over the rights of Kelmar, Amon naturally moved out of the castle of the Odoyak family and settled in the dragon's lair.The reason he gave was that the newly built dragon beast legion needed enough attention and training, and he had to keep an eye on it.In fact, as the former first in line to the throne, Wade's elder brother, if he is still in the castle, it will be a bit of an eyesore.Wade may not feel anything, but those supporters behind him will inevitably have a grudge, which Amon still has self-knowledge, so he naturally moves out and is pure.Some things, in fact, are the same in any plane, and those who should be avoided must be avoided, and those who should be paid attention to must be paid attention to.Of course, the most important thing is that Amon actually wants to be quiet, live in the dragon's lair, and focus on his own affairs, which is much more comfortable than in the castle of the Odoyak family.Sitting behind the desk, Amon took a blank notebook, picked up a quill pen and rotated it lightly around his fingertips, and when the tip stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was a little hesitant.Amon is actually a person who likes to learn knowledge, although he is not as fanatical as the spellcaster, but he understands that power is only the foundation of a person's foothold.And knowledge and foresight determine how far a person can go.Coming from the habit of another world, he likes to keep his study, life and cultivation planning in order, and prefers to record important knowledge in his notes.After all, mortals are always forgetful, and they have a good memory, and they are not as good as a bad pen!
But he was still a little worried about what he knew and saw in the nightmare world, about the wars between planes, the games of great beings, and the secrets between the gods.This is a world of transcendents and gods, and the means of the mighty are unimaginable, and if this knowledge is leaked, it will inevitably cause an uproar and endless trouble.Not to mention the others, just because he copied a design drawing of the True Dragon's Lair, the impact was beyond his expectations.The trade-off between the two made Amon hesitate, and he sat behind his desk for a long time, but finally made up his mind.The quill pen was stained with ink, and he wrote a few words in his notes.It is a boxy font, a little bit and a horizontal, a skimming and a pinch, all of which seem to have a sharp edge blooming, which is obviously different from any known word.And the five words he wrote down are only known to him, and they are clearly true.
