Chapter 1116: Long night
Unsurprisingly, Wendell was surprised when he saw the spherical aircraft. Obviously this advanced space-atmosphere universal shuttle was somewhat beyond his expectations. However, soon the old man recovered from his surprise. He just thought about it: "There is also a machine that can fly in the sky, but I have never seen it like this... Asgard is an ancient god. The country, this thing is afraid that you have passed down from ancient times?"
“There is also an aircraft in the Twilight Capital?” Hao Ren is another layer of surprise. “I am really curious about your social situation.”
Wendell took the spherical aircraft with everyone, and under the control of Anthony and Vivian, the aircraft flew toward another Rainbow Bridge. As the end of the earth gradually appeared in the distance, the huge tentacles community gradually came into view. The eldest son's tentacles were the only thing still in this purgatory. In addition to these tentacles, Warnerheim had no life.
Looking at such an environment, it is difficult for people to imagine how the Wendel people survived.
"Let us talk about the Twilight Capital," Nan Gong looked at Wendell curiously in May (she has become a human form at this time). "What kind of place is that? How did you survive the collapse of heaven and earth?"
"The world is going down..." Wendell repeated the word in a low, hoarse voice. "The war that was more than two thousand years ago, you all know the disaster. I don't know how much history has been preserved in Asgard. But in the Twilight Capital, there are many ancient books that record the things of the year, and many scholars specialize in these things: after all, they are trapped in the barrier, and they have nothing else to study. As far as I know, the war of the gods Breaking the balance of the world, Nedhog's temptation made the great world tree weak, so the gods sneaked in and ignited the world. The fire burned for three years and burned the entire universe. All the light, so the night falls, there is only a burning in the darkness. Midgard is also shrouded in a burning heat. In just a few days, the population has been reduced to less than 10%, and all the vitality in the world will be destroyed. However, an ancient sacred suddenly appeared in the crowd. This ancient sage was called the 'traveler', and he evoked some great power to sleep deep in the earth, using the power of the earth to form a barrier, blocking The night of the highly toxic and Xiehuo, within this barrier is the Twilight capital.
“The Twilight Capital is not a city for us. It is a kingdom. Although it is smaller than any other country in the ancient times, we still survive there and survive for more than two thousand years. The barriers that were first connected by several city-states were so large that all the places outside the city-state were destroyed. Over time, we continued to build homes in the barriers. There is no vacant land. The biggest impression I have on it is crowded, crowded and old, buildings of all ages, from a thousand years ago to a hundred years ago. All are crowded together, the air is everywhere. The whistle of the smoke and steam workshop often sounds in the middle of the night, the big gear creaks, and the locomotive sometimes bangs through the center line of the Twilight Capital, bringing the vibration almost suspicion that the whole city will be shaken by it. Collapse, the clothes hanging outside the window of the street are often blown away by the strange winds that have passed through the block and fall into the oldest abyss of the city. The city was built too big. Too high, too old, even the city's builders and planners don't know what the structure is under the stacked houses. I don't even know, I only know that our city is like a layer. The piled up nest**, which has been stacked, almost touches the barrier of the sky, and every time I open my eyes, I feel that the dim sky will collapse."
Lily said to herself: "It sounds very unsafe."
"Yes, it's very unsafe, but few people think so," Wendell groaned. "Everyone is used to it. No one thinks that there is something wrong with this city. Anyway, everything looks stable at the moment. But delve into it. The ancient books and the people who study the machines don’t think so. We know that the dawn is limited. The life of the city is limited. The world has been extinguished for more than two thousand years. We have survived for a long time with a little embarrassment. The point is also extinguished, then it is over."
“So there was a ‘light-seeker’?” Vivian asked curiously.
Wendell nodded lightly: "There are reasons for this."
From the day when the capital of Twilight was built, people always remembered the fact that the outside world had been burned. They feared the dark night outside, fearing that the light in the city would eventually be extinguished, fearing that the whole world would be so indefinitely forever. And the fear gave birth to courage, so the light-seeker was born. These brave, curious, and restless people are the eyes of the Twilight Capital. With the blessings and expectations of others, they bravely break into the darkness and look for other rays in the wreckage of the world, such as another twilight capital. Or a piece of the world's pure land that has not been burned by evil fires, or...
The sign of the dawn.
“Some scholars believe that the night will end,” Wendell said slowly. “The world tree Yugudola Hill is not dead. He is only healing. When those sacred branches are completed, the universe will be re-enacted. Light up, that is the dawn after the long night, and dawn will begin with the dead country of Nibelungen and Nieforheim. An important mission of the light seeker is to find the signs of dawn, but to be honest... There are not many people holding this hope, including the light-seekers themselves, and more are just looking for another Twilight capital."
Speaking of this, Wendell sighed: "But even then, there are fewer and fewer light-seekers, and fewer people support us. In the past, the light-seekers had a lofty status and were seen as challenging the night. The warriors, our predecessors were once engraved on the cornerstone of the lowest level of the Twilight Capital, but slowly, the journey of light-seeking became a reckless act that was not understood, because a group of people broke into The darkness is finally swallowed up by the night, or it is madly come back. Very few people can bring back something from the night to support such a group of very expensive teams, which is a heavy burden for the Twilight capital. The headquarters was originally the most magnificent building in the city, but now it has become the dark alley in the city's bottom gutter..."
The old man’s voice was low, and he ended up happily ending this topic: “Forget it, don’t say it.”
"To tell the truth, this is an inevitable choice for the group," Galazhor shrugged. "You can't even say ignorance. For the sake of the group, most of the smart races will be too cautious. Bystanders will think that this kind of caution is Missed opportunities, but in most cases, this can extend the survival time in a desperate situation."
Wendell looked at Galajoel eccentrically, feeling that the other person's transcendental way of speaking was weird, but this was the most pertinent and sincere evaluation of a reviewer who was used to the rise and fall of civilization.
Due to this evaluation by Gallardo, the second half of the journey became dull.
On this boring journey, Hao Ren saw the real situation of the Yugudo Lahir space chain after experiencing the twilight of the gods.
It’s worse than you think.
The scene I saw in Asgard made Hao Ren’s first impression of error. He thought that the situation of the nine kingdoms after the dusk of the gods was not so fierce, but he began to deepen this layer of difference. After the space, he realized how great the destructive power of a big bang across the nine-story space. Just as the warhead hits the target, it will produce a wound farther than the surface horror in the target body. The damage caused by the devil's beam cannon and the magical explosion also has a similar effect. The deep space of the nine kingdoms is extremely devastated. serious.
Warnerheim has become a wasteland full of poisonous gas and radiation; Watt Alheim has been completely torn, and the entire continent is divided into two places, floating in a void, only the tentacles that run through the continent connect the broken earth. Together, Arfheim is turbulent, and a storm called "Frenzy" is raging in the darkness. This storm has been used for two thousand years in the magic of space. Now almost everything on the mainland has been thoroughly ground. powder……
They also saw the kingdom of the giants, Jottenheim, a desperate desert, silent, silent, stagnate for thousands of years, and the crazy heat waves poured out from the ruins of the giant city. I still roast the land until now.
However, compared to two-thirds of the continent, Ms. Belheim, covered by lava lakes, Jotunheim is nothing.
All these kingdoms have one thing in common, that is, they are shrouded in darkness.
The smoke and clouds cover the sky, and the magic can destroy the source of the sky in various countries. When you see the situation in those countries, Hao Ren understands why the people of Wendell will call the era after the dusk of the gods "long night."
Just as literally, after the end of the world, night falls, eight of the nine kingdoms are ruled by the darkness. In that darkness, only the last embers are shimmering, burning and deadly, hiding under the light barrier. The survivors are trembled, and anyone who dares to take a step toward the dark is enough to be a warrior, not to mention the light-seekers who dare to cross the nine kingdoms. (To be continued.)
