The location of the Kulakuka tribe corresponds to Waterglass in the surface world.
The two of them went down the mountain and moved slowly towards their goal. Along the way, the mountains were barren and the land was barren. Even the inland sea that had gently nurtured the people in the surface world was as dark as stagnant water.
Everywhere you look, there is depression and chill.
Does the Kulakuka tribe live in such a world?
"Is it also so deserted outside the hood?" Angel asked.
Shadow nodded and replied with a sigh: "Except for the residence of the wizard organization, this is basically the case in other realms. This is also the normal state of the middle world and the inner world. After all, this is just an auxiliary plane, and the ecology is not as stable as the main world. As soon as the original magic power is strong, ordinary plants will wither. It can be regarded as a normal state under energy control. Although it is a pity, it is also the price that needs to be paid after the fusion of planes."
After Shadow finished speaking, he turned around and found Angel frowning and looking into the distance.
His heart moved: "Are you sympathizing with the Kulakuka tribe?"
Angel nodded noncommittally. According to the urban legend he heard from Leonric, the Kulakuka tribe is actually a peace-loving and pure race. However, precisely because of their simple character, they were betrayed by the fickle human heart. It is very sad to think about being forced into this situation and finally living in such a desolate world.
Shadow smiled and said: "I think you may be wrong. Haven't you noticed that whether it is the demon source giant or the flaming molten bird, they are all observing the Kulakuka clan in the dark through the cover, and there is a look in their eyes. With unstoppable greed."
"I used to be like that." Shadow smiled mockingly, "So, do you think the race that we covet will have a miserable life?"
Shadow pointed to the shadowy land ahead, "They live much happier lives than in the surface world, and that's why they haven't left here for thousands of years."
Angel didn't know the reason, but when he looked outside the dome, monsters passed by from time to time. If you look carefully, you will find that many monsters are full of greed for the inside of the dome, as Shadow said. If not If there is a cover to block it, they may swarm and swarm.
It seems that Shadow is right, there must be something fishy about Kulakuka's tribe.
With this doubt, Angel came to the top of a hill. From here, he could see the coastal plain.
From a high position, Angel looked down at the surroundings.
This coastal plain was still deserted, in sharp contrast to the bustling "Waterglass" in the surface world. On this dead and silent plain, he saw nothing, no signs of human activity, and no traces of buildings. , it doesn’t look like anyone lives here at all.
He couldn't say that completely. In this world, there was another thing that he couldn't figure out, which was a luminous ball suspended in mid-air.
According to visual inspection, it was a glazed sphere about twenty meters in diameter, suspended in mid-air, like a huge fluorite, emitting a soft green light.
The surface of the ball looked like it was made of glass, but the inside couldn't be seen clearly, it was foggy.
There are no human settlements nearby, and Angel does not believe that Kulakuka will live underground. After all, can the monsters outside the dome still covet the underground? Moreover, Shadow once said that he observed Kulakuka on a sky ghost ship.
of clan land.
so--
"Could it be that the Kulakuka tribe lives in that sphere?" Angel murmured in a low voice, "But it doesn't look very big. Could it be that the Kulakuka tribe is on the verge of extinction, with only a few dozen people left?
"
Shadow also walked to the top of the hill at this time: "You are half right, the Kulakuka tribe does live in that sphere. However, there are more than a few dozen Kulakuka tribe. According to Gami and the others,
After thousands of years of development, the Kulakuka tribe has no fewer than ten towns with a population of close to ten thousand people. In the central capital, the number of people has even reached six figures."
According to what Shadow said, at least there are more than 200,000 Kulakuka people living in the sphere? How big is the space inside? Even the expansion of the magic pattern can't be done, right?
Angel doesn’t think the sphere is a space prop. How many “void floating algae” would be needed for a space prop that can house 200,000 people?
Unless...it's an alien space inside?
But Angel also denied this statement. The alien space can actually be called "mirror space", which means the world reflected by the mirror.
If you think about it carefully, even the world reflected in the mirror is actually just an extension of the original world. Its ecological environment is exactly the same as the ecology of the original space. Just like the source of flow and the deep well of twilight, they all belong to an alien space. They see
They seem to exist in a world of their own, but in fact they depend on the real space. The ecology is almost the same as the real space.
If the sphere is an alien space, then what is reflected is this dead land with no grass growing on it.
This is incompatible with the Kulakuka clan land that Shadow said was "coveted by monsters".
Seeing Angel's shocked and confused look, Shadow smiled and said, "Actually, you probably should know the answer, but you haven't thought about it, or even dared to think about it. You think it's a fantasy."
Angel's face was full of confusion, waiting for Shadow to explain his confusion.
"The answer is simple, have you ever heard of a witch garden?"
Witching Garden?! Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar word, Angel was simply stunned. Is this a witching garden? It is a witching garden that countless wizarding organizations yearn for. It has unique laws and is favored by the will of the world.
?!
Are you sure you're not kidding?
Angel had indeed thought about the witchcraft garden before, but the idea flashed through his mind and did not stay for long. Because this kind of prop that has strategic significance for a wizard organization, how could it become a
The clan land of ordinary races?
Unfortunately, this most impossible answer is the correct answer.
Shadow: "It seems you know what the witch garden means, and you are right. The biggest news in the wizarding world not long ago was that the master of magic has a private gravity garden. Many gossip magazines have been discussing this for half a year, making the gravity forest gassy.
I was so excited that I almost changed the name of my organization.”
"Speaking of which, five years ago, when I heard this answer, I had the same expression as you. But the fact is that the Black Castle wizard who saved the Kulakuka tribe, although extremely powerful, was just like the old witch.
She is also a lunatic. She left Fan Continent on her own, but left this witchcraft garden to the Kulakuka tribe, and the old witch actually agreed."
"Over the years, there have been many people coveting this witchcraft garden. But the old witch directly said that anyone who dares to touch the witchcraft garden here will be deemed to be at war with Castle Black!"
"Now you know why the monsters outside are coveting this place."
Shadow said this and suddenly sighed: "However, I still don't understand why she did this? Although this witchcraft garden is the private garden of the most powerful person, she can do whatever she wants. But this kind of behavior is not
It’s in line with common sense.”
Angel: "Perhaps there is something special about the Kulakuka tribe, or perhaps there are some benefits that make it worthy of her doing this."
Since entering the wizarding world, Angel's way of thinking has slowly changed from an altruistic mode to a self-interested mode.
"Maybe, Castle Black doesn't run an orphanage. There must be a reason for doing this." Shadow shrugged: "But, what does this have to do with us?"
"It really doesn't matter." They're not even official wizards, so it's a joke that they even consider their thoughts.
Summer insects can't talk about ice. Instead of worrying about irrelevant things, it's better to think about the present.
"You said there is a road leading to the inner world, the real Black Castle. So, where is the road?" Angel pointed to the bright ball in the sky: "Inside?"
Shadow nodded: "Every time the Kulakuka tribe performs a complete sacrifice, the people in Castle Black will enter the Witching Garden through the plane passage. That passage is the key for me to enter Castle Black."
…
It is not an easy task to enter the Black Castle from the Kulakuka tribe's sacrifice. The first condition is to sneak into the witchcraft garden and reach the place of sacrifice.
Although the Kulakuka tribe are basically ordinary people, in order to successfully sneak into the sacrifices, they do not dare to go on a killing spree.
Therefore, how to sneak in is the primary difficulty.
"What can you do?"
"There is no way. The Kulakuka tribe is too small, and it is impossible for our size to blend in. We can only rely on invisibility." Shadow took out a cloak from his backpack: "Can you become invisible? If not, this attachment
You can take the cloak with different light and shadow and use it."
Angel had no intention of going in, but just helping to open a formation seemed a bit inconsistent with the core of equivalent exchange. Most importantly, Angel was curious about what the rules of this witchcraft garden were... What if
If it could have an effect on the human body like the Purification Garden, he still planned to try it.
Kulakuka can live in it and last for thousands of years, which means that this law should have no harm to living things.
Since there are no disadvantages, are there any benefits?
Angel did not mention returning to the cave at this time, but shook his head at Shadow: "No need."
Shadow suddenly realized: "Yes, I almost forgot. That day you came in with the magician, and I didn't even notice your invisibility. What kind of invisibility is this? Tell me, when I return to Sky Mechanical City,
Go and study too.”
Angel didn't answer. He relied on the boundless silence to become invisible. Although it didn't matter if he said it, he didn't want to completely expose his trump card, so let the shadows misunderstand him.
Shadow curled his lips: "The owner of this garden is no longer in the Southern Region. If we want to enter the garden, we can only rely on the teleportation array at the top."
As Shadow spoke, he took out another roll of thin silk from his backpack.
"This is a vehicle I got accidentally. It does not represent my orientation. Don't get me wrong."
Misunderstanding? Angel didn't understand what Shadow meant. It wasn't until Shadow opened the silk, revealing a soft women's tulle cloak that he understood what Shadow meant.
Shadow put on a woman's cloak with an embarrassed look on his face, and then floated into the air.
