On June 29, 557, the New Yuan calendar, the Cruzde Federation, the Extreme Cold Special Zone, Area A (Old Sub-frost Area), the "Chaos Group" and the "Comprehensive Cult" jointly camped.
"The Future" feels that my body soaring like a geese, floating lightly, as if boundlessly bounded and unable to touch the solid cotton.
This feeling is not as panic and exciting as looking down at the ground like a real flying, nor is it like diving into the water and being able to rise and fall freely.
If you describe it as a real human emotion, it is more like falling into a magnificent and magical confusion, and experiencing the horror and bizarre hidden in it, which cannot be described in any words or phrases.
"Future" looked up slightly and found that the sky was slightly blue, and there was no cloud at all. There was only a bright but dim halo, which was called the sun, hanging high, illuminating the cold light.
Looking down, the endless and dense forest exudes a sultry and humid texture, making him want to call the god of wind and seek a moment of greed coolness.
The rivers passing through the verdant land were filled with terrifying starlight, and the filthy plants formed a bridge that allowed ugly wild boars to pass. The sound of human daily activities contained a misty sense of unreality, like a chaotic and disorderly ghost, spreading an indescribable atmosphere around him.
Until some force from the flame burned the "cotton"-like surround that maintained his flight, causing him to fall near a vast field.
"Where is this?" "The Future" asked in confusion.
His throat made a voice of ethereal high and gloomy low, like a distorted product that was stored after countless bad recording equipment, but it seemed that the absence of his cognition briefly filled this vague disorder, causing his spirit to fall into a creepy scene with the gradually changing illusion around him.
Looking up, the sun in the sky emits a faint dark red color, and a blood-like crimson. When they arrive at the low house not far away, only the desperate deep purple and pitch black are left.
The surrounding architectural layout is generally a masterpiece from the early period of the Second Era. The ground is paved with dark red bricks, which together with the surrounding bluestone forms the staircase leading to farmland like a rural area.
Along the slope covered with bright red fuel, at the entrance of the farmland, "Future" "saw" a medicinal plant with only slender stamens and constantly curling inward, "MB-1035: Flower of Inverus", a limited bare ground nearby was covered with broken bones of animals and fragments of human heads.
Squat down and observe carefully. It is not difficult to find out how gloomy distortion and panic are contained in this seemingly nurturing beauty and tranquility. The "sorrow" emitted in these bones made him, the lost person, feel uncomfortable. He closed his eyes slightly, and could barely read the urgency of their panic to escape before they died.
However, further observation, even if these broken bones are spliced ​​together, they are surprisingly large and cannot be possessed by ordinary humans. "The Future" speculates that if it were not for the alien beast (half orcs) or dragon clan that almost disappeared now, they would definitely be the "alien monster" that mistakenly entered this place.
When I stood up, "Future" saw a slow-moving windmill that was rising from a distance, with the color of the border between Sunneii and Putoya. Although it was covered with a gray filter in the dim environment, it can be seen that it belongs to the ancient kingdom known as the "Windmill Country".
A subtle "rustling" sound of wind passed by the ears of "future", and a country path that was straight forward appeared in his vision. It seemed to have dug up a long line of ground in front and laid a straight, solid rock strip that stretched to the end of the continent.
Just as the "future" was about to step on, a wind blew into his nostrils, filled with the fragrance of plants, fishy smell of animals, rotten bones, and mineral dust.
Suddenly, the farmland in front of him quickly turned into a hot lava, the windmill in the distance turned into the head of a huge ancient creature, and the roads around him quickly turned into a strong and weird existence like obsidian. When he turned around, he saw a huge giant door made of steel carved with the dragon clan totem, which quickly opened, revealing the chaotic color of the "leap formation" inside.
...
"Huh!—Huh!" The "future" who woke up from the dream suddenly sat up, pinching his throat with both hands while gasping as loudly as possible.
After confirming the authenticity of the world around you, "Future" slowly put down his hands, stroked his chest as much as possible, and slowly calmed down his breathing.
At this moment, Loca, wearing a heavy cotton coat and simple protective gear, pushed open the newly welded small iron door and entered.
Looking at Loka, who was holding the "Ice Rose" standard sniper rifle independently developed by the federal government, barely considered "fully armed", and Nahaka, who stood on his shoulder and showed a lonely looking down, "Future" looked at the mechanical watch on the bedside.
Fortunately, it is only seven o'clock in the morning now. Even if the "Chaos Group" and "Order Meeting" want to start some important tasks, they usually don't choose this "first morning light" moment.
While slowly changing clothes and waiting for Loka to close the door and sit down, the "Future" slowly said in a slightly hoarse voice, but retaining a bit of incongruous and tender voice:
"This time, I seem to see it."
"See?" Loka was a little surprised, put his rifle aside, supported the table, leaned forward, and asked:
“Is it the area below the ‘deep ruins of bitterness’?”
"I think...is basically." "The Future" nodded:
"I originally wanted to try to enter the "Dream of Gray" using the method in the manuscript of the "Church of Hope" written by Merinar, the altar where the spirit of the "Echoer" is incarnated, and then ask him about the "remnants of the Deep". After all, he is related to the Dragon and the Old, and there is also the Dragon and the Old.
"You know, Loka. Most of my power comes from the old god "Dark and Desolate Scarlet", which is manifested as the dark magic source power. This makes me born with the old and can allow some souls to enter the space related to it."
"I believe this." Loka agreed.
"But it seems... the altar belonging to the 'Grey Dream' was closed artificially. I just lingered at the top of the altar for a few minutes, and did not see anyone, nor had any chance to get close to or settle down, so I was sent to a new track." "The Future" continued:
"After that, I saw a Khitan Ris-like look. I knew that it was the illusion that everyone showed when they entered here, but after they really landed, I was sure that the field land belonged to the dragon clan."
"Why?" Loka was puzzled.
"I have left a document from Eventry, which comes from an ancient civil organization, the 'Ancient Mysterious Investigation'. It is said to have been formed by Timod, the royal general of the former Fire Empire, who later lived in Eventry to take refuge.
"In fact, after the "Longqing" opened by the Spirit Emperor of the Fire Empire, a large number of dragon clans degenerated into "half-dragon man" alien beasts, released from the cage called the Dragon Realm, and wandered to all parts of the mainland, either integrated with the local nobles, or were valued with their superpowers, or like the Adaroni released by the Federal Council this time, they always adhered to their identity as the dragon clan.
"By the way, the Wright who joined the 'Ancient Mysterious Investigation Institute' in Canon City is named Wright Hayn. It is not the human name of Wright Sogra, who is the 'Echoerer'. That Wright Hayn should be the old friend that Central Asia Daroni has been looking for."
When Loka heard this, he nodded and asked:
"So, 'future', what does that... Eventrela's document about... 'Ancient Mysterious Investigation' tell?"
"The Dragon Realm, and the truly supreme dragon teenager who once wandered in the Fire Empire and Evantari...a little history about him. The young man's Khitan Ris was named Ye Mingyuan, or Ye Mingyuan, and his Evantari was named Clater. He was imprisoned in the Dragon Realm like Adaroni, but Adaroni was longer." "The Future" tells:
"The information about Adaroni, your elder brother, Ice Blade, must be clearer. After all, you also know that you are all over the Federal Council's strategic team. Through Adaroni's information and a memoir called "I'm in Fire" and the information I mentioned above, the dragon mirror they described cannot be said to be irrelevant to everything I just saw, it is exactly the same.
"I speculate that the five great warriors of human beings at that time, including Inoros, knew that they could not completely eliminate the dragon clan. They could only settle for the second best and chose to use the five sealing objects to create a superposition of soft and harsh situations to imprison them.
"And, the scope of my soul power should not exceed the 'artificial lake'. In other words, the rumor may be true. Below the 'deep ruins of bitterness', there is probably a scene leading to hell, but it is not a hell that belongs to humans, but of the dragon clan."
"Is it...hell belonging to the Dragon Clan?" Loka murmured.
"The pain and wailings that exist when excavated in the old empire records should not belong to humans. Just imagine that humans are spiritual enough, and the sounds they make cannot penetrate several layers of rocks. Regardless of whether the souls that are separated from the flesh really exist, even if they exist, their power will be even weaker." "The Future" analyzed:
