Chapter 723

On January 20, 838, in the heart of the central black forest, although it was winter, there was no snow.

In the middle of the continent, there is a primeval forest, which occupies nearly a quarter of the continent. The ancient magic mixed with the smell of chaos infects this land, making it extremely fertile. Just because of this, all kinds of vegetation here grow so fast that it makes people feel numb, and countless Warcraft and Dragon beasts also shelter in this black forest, It can reproduce leisurely.

The area of the central black forest used to be much larger than it is now. Thousands of years ago, at the beginning of the civilization of the era of falling stars, four fifths of the whole continent of mirov was covered by it, and only a few areas with shelters maintained normal order. Now, due to the continuous development and felling of various ethnic groups for many years, As well as the reverse erosion of order fire to chaos magic, black forest can no longer divide the four human gathering areas, but began to appear obvious shrinkage phenomenon.

But even so, the area of the central black forest is more than any single human force, even the whole territory of the northern HELMOS empire.

The forest is so vast, primitive, full of Warcraft, and full of relics of the last era. Since ancient times, it has been the main stage of various legends and adventure stories. Countless adventurers have come here to test when they were young, and many strong people have become famous here. Here, mercenaries once found the ancient alchemy map deep in the forest, Then he became rich overnight and became famous. More adventurers discovered the temple of the ancient god and ascended to heaven to achieve great success.

It is even said that the founder of the far south business alliance dug out the first bucket of gold from the black forest, so that he had the wealth of a country as rich as a country and the power comparable to that of a country.

Now, a group of members of the exploration team from the imperial foreign exploration department of the northern empire are carrying out arduous training in the depths of this ancient black forest.

"Prest, I don't think it's any use training in this damn place."

Deep in the central black forest, far away from the ground, among the trees covered by the shadow of giant trees, five young men in camouflage clothes, covered with mud and sweat, are quietly lying on the hanging branches, looking nervously into the distance.

They are wearing short knives around their waists, helmets with goggles on their heads, and a layer of dark magic mark on their clothes, which is stirring up and weakening people's sense of existence. At each wrist, there is an inconspicuous dark crystal, which is the information terminal that has been popularized in the high-level empire for more than a year.

Just now, it was someone in the team who complained to his teammates through the information terminal: "the seven gods are on the road. Our task of the external exploration department is to explore the alien world, not to fight wits and bravery with a group of mindless beasts in the primeval forest, but also to lie on the branches and pretend to be a bird! God, do we look like birds! "

"Like a bird?"

"Like a bird? Ah, the smell. I feel like I'm rotting. "

"It stinks all over. It's disgusting!"

"OK, you have mouths. The intelligence of Warcraft here may not be lower than you. They may be able to detect the spiritual fluctuation of the terminal!"

In the middle of the team, the young man, who was vaguely supposed to be the leader of the team, replied impatiently: "continue to lurk, not far away should be the nest of the last target 'boa constrictors'. As long as their specific residence is determined, even if the training is successful, we can return to the Empire as soon as possible!"

The name of the boa constrictor comes from the legendary giant uropolos in ancient times. Their ancestors transcended the essence of life and mastered the ability of basic material conversion. Therefore, they have a huge size comparable to mountains and an almost immortal super high-speed regenerative power. As the descendants of legendary creatures, they are the descendants of the boa constrictor, Nature also has its own characteristics - every boa constrictor has a strength close to gold when it comes of age. If it is a little stronger, it can be hundreds of meters long, tens of meters wide and extremely destructive. They can turn solid rock walls into soil and easily topple a city.

The legendary giant uropolos wandered in the forest. For unknown reasons, he attacked the human gathering place and died in the hands of the second generation of holy sword envoys on the west mountain. The snake bones became the framework of the city wall of the west mountain fortress. However, his descendants were still breeding in the deep of the central black forest, and their life was incomparable. These mysterious giants had a wide range of activities on weekdays, Even scholars who specialize in Warcraft find it difficult to determine where they live.

But now, after two months of continuous tracking and exploration, the team has finally found the specific nest of the boa constrictors, a low hill in the middle of the black forest. It only needs to observe the boa constrictors going in and out of the hidden cave under the hill, then their mission can be said to be a complete success.

"To tell you the truth... I still don't understand why the top leaders want us to determine the location and ecological habits of Titan dragonfly, platinum magic vine and Poulos python."Although he was reprimanded by prest as the team leader, because the observation process was too tense, some people could not help but vent their pressure by complaining at the spiritual terminal: "why do these gold and even the legendary descendants of Warcraft need our exploration team to observe? This is the black forest! If we hadn't been lucky, we would have died many times. "

"Otherwise, it's called training, not outing."

In this regard, Prester, who came from the northern Moldavia champion college and had experienced the hell training designed by a legendary strong man, could not help but be speechless: "moreover, it is precisely because the black forest is very dangerous that it has the value of training here - otherwise, what should we do when we get to a world where the environment may be more dangerous?"

The five men who are lurking in the trees and waiting for the opportunity to observe the activities of the boa constrictors in the distant hills are the youngest elite team in the imperial foreign exploration department. Although the dialogue in the spiritual terminal seems to be improper, they have completed each scheduled task perfectly in the three-and-a-half-month Black Forest training. They have successfully used their exquisite survival skills, He successfully survived in the central area of black forest, which is known as "no gold will die" and successfully found the location of Titan dragonfly and platinum magic vine.

Prester was not satisfied with the complaints of his teammates. Most of the alien environments were unknown. Although the imperial foreign exploration department would try its best to select the living alien world as its target, it was because of the existence of life that it was dangerous. No one knew what the alien world was like.

In the world of mirov, the most similar place to the alien world is the invasion of chaos magic. Up to now, 40% of the area belongs to the unknown central black forest, followed by the bottomless abyss in the far south deep sea. It is said that there were many strange alien creatures connected with the alien world hundreds of years ago, and the abyssal magic dragon is one of them.

What's more, as the team leader, Prester clearly knows the real purpose of his party to explore the various powerful magic gathering places in the black forest.

Why didn't the major forces in the world think of a way to eradicate this primeval forest? There are many reasons. According to the explanation Prester heard in Moldavia, it is also very simple, that is, the benefits of black forest are greater than the losses it brings.

If the legendary strong men all over the world join hands, they can certainly uproot the black forest and completely eradicate 80% of the black forest area in a year or even a few months. However, no matter how much damage will be caused to the mainland during this period, how many elements will be exhausted by the magic of the legendary strong men, There is no doubt that those Warcraft who live in the black forest with hundreds of millions of people, more than the human population, will riot because their homes are destroyed. Even if only one tenth of them impact the surrounding human towns, they will also cause extremely terrible losses.

The existence of the magic tide is indeed very distressing to all countries, but it can also bring huge economic benefits. Countless fur, Warcraft flesh and magic materials are almost sent to the door. There is no need for various forces to set up their own hunting teams to capture them. The exploration of various adventure teams can also steadily produce valuable resources in the forest, Not to mention all kinds of relics inside the black forest, once there are adventurers who harvest in it, they will have extraordinary benefits, not to mention that their exploration team is interested in the special environment of the black forest, so they are sent here for training?

Compared with this huge interest, the establishment of fortresses and the annual circulation of troops to guard are just trivial matters.

But the laissez faire to the black forest is a thing of the past.

Since the fall of the star 722, there has been no large-scale change of power in the world of mirov, although there will be all kinds of small frictions between various countries and forces, such as the conflicts between Yuanhai holy mountain and guantian white tower and Fishman, the conflicts between Qiyao Parliament and guantian white tower, the wars between the northern Empire and orcs, and the internal fights among countless kingdoms in Xishan, However, these frictions and wars have not affected the overall situation and caused such serious consequences as the collapse and destruction of the country.

The stability of power represents the gradual acceleration of development. War and friction are accelerators of technology research and development. With the investment and practice year after year, the extraordinary power of mirov civilization has become more advanced and powerful, even to the point that it can crush the same level of Warcraft. In 810, the year of the fall of the star is like an unexpected big magic tide, Warcraft is hard to break even a fortress.

The primitive fur and the income of magic materials can't meet the needs of civilization gradually. However, for the exploration of the black forest, all forces have collected enough data. Now, when the mirov civilization is about to explore the void, the leaders of all forces tacitly decide that it's time to repair the wounds left by this ancient chaos, Turn it into the backyard of civilization.

Priests, they are the vanguard to find out more.

"According to the information sent from the terminal, it is said that the president will even deal with hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of black forest area in person and open up a large area of Empire territory!"Recalling the faint hints in many news in the information terminal, Prester can't help feeling a little agitated: "after the task is over, maybe you can see the scene of the president's hand in person!"

At this time, with the surrounding earth and mountains shaking slightly, a dark shadow suddenly rose in the hidden cave under the hill observed by the exploration team, which made prest and others hold their breath subconsciously. In a moment, under the winter sun, the huge dark shadow showed its true shape, which was a strip covered with metal scales, There are also black and red python with sharp convex head like a drill. The two pairs are as big as houses. The snake eyes are arranged vertically, emitting golden light. The energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye are scattered around the snake eyes, just like ripples in the water.

That's what they're aiming for, boa constrictor! It's an extraordinary beast that lives underground all the year round and develops by swallowing metal and rock! It seems that they are right. This hill is the entrance and exit of the python on the ground and underground. In an instant, the members of the team who were still complaining before entered a state of high alert. They collectively turned on the function of a special information terminal on their wrists, took remote videos, and then sent them back to the imperial foreign exploration headquarters in the north.

In the headquarters of the imperial foreign exploration department in the imperial capital, the dean of Prester's mouth, Joshua van Radcliffe, was having a rather ordinary meeting with Nostradamus in the reception hall.

"A few days ago, Goblin village issued an important diplomatic notice to the Empire. They complained that your body often passed through the most popular observation port of goblin village, which affected them to look at the void in a daze."

The old mage held an information terminal in his left hand. A light curtain appeared on the terminal. He scratched at random and found out the notice at that time. He shook his head with a smile and said, "there are also complaints from the researchers in the observatory. They say that recently there are always alarms that" massive void objects are rapidly approaching the world of mirov ", but only after exploring at last did they find out, It's just a silver cocoon passing by - the ice element calling wandering. "

With that, the old mage's other hand clicked on the Goblin card table in front of him, and summoned a whole body ice crystal. The upper part of his body presented the element life of human shape.

[wandering ice element, 3 fees, 5 attacks, 5 lives]

[coming: ice yourself for a round]

[chain: you can't summon creatures outside the elemental system]

"It can only be said that there are a lot of steel particles around the goblin village. My body will find its way automatically, On weekdays, it is spontaneous to find the place with the highest concentration of particles for cruising. "

In this regard, Joe shook his head, he looked at the Goblin card table in front of him, and then played a card: "just as a natural phenomenon, they will be used to... Summon pirate commandos to attack players directly, and I use curved blade machete to attack you directly."

[pirate commando, 3 fees, 2 attacks, 3 lives]

[chain: if you have pirate cards on the court, gain + 1 + 0 and charge]

[curved blade scimitar, 2 costs, 2 attacks, 1 durability]

[chain: you gain 1 durability for every pirate card on the court]

The pirate Raiders directly attack the health mark on the side of Nostradamus, Let it have a red - 3.

At this time, there are three creatures on the card table, which belong to Joshua's side. Each creature has the ability to directly attack the player in the current round or cause some direct injuries. However, there is only one self frozen ice element on the field of Nostradamus, with only 17 health points left.

But Nostradamus didn't seem to care about this. He happily watched Joshua finish the round, and then said: "recently, you've been keeping a low profile. It's even rumored that you were seriously injured while exploring the void. Now you're hiding in the territory, and you're going to die if you're not careful."

"It's just a rumor. They also rumored that the nature teacher had an affair with the fairy queen, and that Pope Igel had 17 illegitimate children."

In this regard, the soldier shrugged his shoulders and did not intend to waste too much energy on such boring rumors: "regardless of the relationship between garanord and hernvalo IX, how can Iger spend his hard life to produce so many illegitimate children?"

There are all kinds of strange folk rumors. There are all kinds of messy news, but one thing is true, that is, he has been very low-key recently.

Since his return to Moldavia, Joshua has been in the main city. He has never left the north. On weekdays, he is nothing more than walking the dragon, looking at the sea, taking a group of family members for outings, going shopping, inspecting lindongbao college, occasionally going to the abyss to see the scenery, catching one or two demons and asking about the current situation of the sixth abyss. He has a leisurely life.

Among them, it is true that nothing has happened recently. Neither carlis nor deep space observation has received any further news, and the visions on the other side of the void vortex can not change greatly in one or two months. Therefore, recently, Joshua has been basically in his own territory, thinking about his latest power of cultivation in his own body, The ability to create something new.If the power of steel represents the origin of all materials and the essence of all the known phenomena and powers in the material world, then the power of fire is the ability of complete idealism to change the world with its own will.

The force of steel held by Joshua can simulate all kinds of materials under extreme conditions, such as degenerate armor, quasi absolute smooth material with infinite friction close to zero, mirror surface with nearly 100% reflection and radiation, etc.. These special materials provided a great help for the battle of Warring States, And it can help him adapt to all kinds of combat and environment.

The power of fire from the power of the king of burning soul can directly reverse the reality of destruction by burning soul, and make a world that has been extinguished rekindle fire. With the power of creation possessed by gulong, it can even make a world close to the end chaos return to order.

These two forces complement each other. In combination with Joshua's own soul abyss, they are even more powerful, making the soldiers have great confidence in countless battles. But now, facing the legendary strong men who also have all kinds of strange powers and even don't talk about the power of the laws of physics at all, Joshua feels that he is beginning to have some difficulty, He took a small world that was being born in his body as the source, and developed the ability to create something that did not conform to the usual theorem.

A world itself should be self consistent, stable and persistent. In fact, all kinds of common sense theorems in each world are slightly different, just like the organs and circulatory systems in different organisms are different. The world is not perfect, as long as it can exist normally.

In a new world, how should its common sense theorem be determined? According to Joshua's experiment and conjecture, it should be through the means of "order resonance" between the worlds, which is similar to the collective opening of the creation phenomenon in the vortex of void. These worlds born around the Siberian world should have a common sense theorem similar to the Siberian world. Similarly, the kallis world around the world of mirov also has a similar environment, Races in the two worlds can even immigrate to each other.

If Joshua doesn't care about the small world in his body, then his internal theorem should be very similar to that of McCullough's world. But if so, it doesn't make any sense. Therefore, with the advantage that the newborn world is his own noumenon, Joshua adds a kind of special material to the new world of strong behavior, A kind of [only the world inside Joshua has the ability of quantum entanglement and can transmit information at superluminal speed].

But just by adding such a kind of material, the rudiment of the world was on the verge of collapse, and Joshua had a long time to rest. Therefore, he understood that this kind of material completely beyond the common sense theorem of the common world is extremely difficult to create, and every attempt is a subversion and challenge to the existing order.

But it's all worth it, because for Joshua, having such a superluminal medium for information exchange is enough to make him many times better than before!

There is an upper limit to the thinking speed of human beings, or all living things, because the transmission of information is not instantaneous. Whether it is neural micro current, optical fiber or multi-core joint thinking, the process of information transmission, reception, storage and extraction takes time. Even the soul, the linkage between countless basic soul particles also takes time, It's just that the upper limit of the thinking speed of the soul of ordinary creatures is higher than that of the physical brain.

Even the old Pope incarnated as light, his speed of thinking and speed of information storage and extraction is nothing more than the speed of light. The amount of information that can be stored in a certain wave band is also limited. Therefore, even the legendary strong man, in an extremely small period of time, will have "unresponsive" and "unpredictable" problems, The mistakes of "unexpected" and "not noticed" are only extremely unlikely.

It is precisely because of this upper limit that the biological reaction that is too large will become slow. If we say that it is like the giant beast of research void, which is comparable to the size of a super red giant, even if we attack the other side, it will at most cause the other side's instinctive counterattack in the relevant area, because of the bloated thinking system, Its core thinking center can't even accept and process the attacked information.

But if Joshua's medium of thinking communication and information transmission becomes faster than the speed of light, it can be said that his speed of thinking and reaction can be improved without limit! Even if his body is as big as a galaxy, as long as the superluminal medium is enough, he can instantly reflect any information from the outermost part of his body! The bigger his thinking organ is, the faster his thinking speed will be. Joshua can even divide his thinking center into thousands of pieces and place them in every corner of the multiverse, and he can still guarantee his thinking ability!

This is the horror of the superluminal thinking medium. The unlimited speed of thinking will make Joshua gradually surpass the ordinary physical world. For the legendary strong man, it is also an instant micro particle impact and splitting phenomenon. For him, it's just a slow motion... Of course, this is the most perfect situation. In fact, This is impossible in the short term.Because this special superluminal particle only exists in Joshua's body, and the world in Joshua's body has not yet been opened up, and his body's mass is limited. Only after the opening up, and the world continues to expand, can he have the ability to produce a large number of such extraordinary particles, and then rapidly improve his thinking speed.

But now, with this super speed of light information transmission ability, Joshua can ensure that he can communicate with his family in real time and transmit information in the void or even the other end of the multiverse. In this way, unless the enemy also has quantum entanglement level attack means, no one can destroy the soldiers in a moment.

As long as there are enough superluminal media, he can even keep transmitting information all the time. Even if an avatar is destroyed, his ontology can receive information as well as other avatars.

At this time, Joshua and Nostradamus were still playing cards and chatting. They began to talk about the plan to clear the black forest, which was the biggest move of the major forces in recent times.

"Israel means that in order to make the black forest an imperial farm that can safely produce all kinds of Warcraft resources, and other people also want to make the black forest a back garden, and to achieve this goal, we must suppress and eliminate all the dangerous Warcraft groups in the black forest."

Now the old mage's life value is only 3 points, and the creatures on the field are also emptied, which can be said to be the residual candle in the wind. In contrast, Joshua still has 20 points of life, and there are as many as five creatures on the field, which can directly defeat the old mage in the next round.

But Nostradamus didn't seem to care at all. He said with a smile, "we can rest assured if you do it, but Joshua, I must remind you not to kill too much. What we want is a safe black forest, not a piece of white land!"

"... do I look so ferocious?"

Joshua was quite speechless about this: "I always thought I was a kind-hearted, kind-hearted and righteous person. How could I do a lot of damage?"

In this regard, nochadammas said only one word: "the Ural plain." All of a sudden, Joshua could only sigh to make sure that he would not go too far. He accidentally washed the black forest on the edge of the empire into white ground. After all, in order to search for the temple of mother earth, the earth shaking Urals plain stirred by soldiers has not recovered its ecological balance.

At this time, a trace of information came from their information terminals. Joshua and Nostradamus were stunned, and then they knew the corresponding information through the information terminals.

"Have you found the gathering place of the boa constrictor? Yes, in this way, I can suppress them for the first time, so that they will not feel the legendary breath and flee, causing great damage

The soldier's mouth turned up, and he looked very satisfied with the efficiency of Priestley and others: "the cooperation of the exploration team is very tacit, I think they can try to explore the real world."

"Well, it is."

In this regard, Nostradamus also clapped his hands happily. Compared with Joshua, he was more happy with the growth of the young generation: "these young people are just a little bit less accumulation, they can achieve the Golden State, they are much faster than our generation."

"After all, the resources are much richer now than they were a few decades ago. The average height of the new generation of imperial residents is eight centimeters higher than it was 50 years ago."

Joshua casually reported a number, he reminded: "my round is over, hurry up or admit defeat."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Now the cost of both sides has reached 10 fee, and there are only three cards left in Nostradamus's hand. There are no creatures on the field, and there are only three points left in his life value. No matter how it looks like he is about to lose, the old mage still takes a card from the library and says with a smile, "the victory and defeat have just begun - my turn, Play cards. "

Then, he hit the right card in his hand!

Hum - the deep magic roar sounded. At the moment when the card was played, the half of the field belonging to Nostradamus turned into a dark blue magic field. In the countless blue fields that vibrated like water lines, a white haired and white bearded mage virtual shadow appeared on the field, which was the figure of the old Nostradamus!

On the Goblin card table, the old version of Nostradamus opens the magic guide book in his hand. Suddenly, three cards fly out of it and enter the old mage's hand.

[shadow of time and space · Nostradamus (Legend of MAGE)]

[10 fees, 4 attacks, 4 lives]

[coming: put three 'time and space distortion' into your hero's hand]

[curtain call: eliminate all 'time and space distortion', no matter where it is][- the wise and mysterious shadow hidden behind the endless ripples of time and space]

The white haired mage stands in front of the crack of time and space, and is melting into the void. Behind him is the looming void observatory. He is looking into the distance.

[space time distortion, legendary magic, 8 fees]

[in this game, each time you use a magic card, the cost of the card will be reduced by 1]

[after use, before the next round of your own side, you will gain the "space-time distortion" status. You and all your units will receive 1 point of spell damage and 0 point of summoned creature and weapon attack. This effect cannot be superimposed

Your attack is infinitely close to me, but it will never reach me

When Joshua saw Nostradamus play this card, he opened his eyes and said, "wait, your own legendary card?! When did it come out? There's no new expansion pack recently! "

"Some time ago, those goblins invited me to do it."

Nostradamus smiles, touches his beard, and then calmly makes a "space-time distortion" that has been reduced to zero: "I can see that you don't have an effect destroying spell card or direct damage spell. In the next three rounds, I'm invincible."

Joshua looked at his own group of all weapons and charge biological fast attack card group, nodded slightly, was to admit the other side's statement.

In the next two rounds, Nostradamus used two pieces of "explosion" and two pieces of "space-time distortion" in succession, causing 10 + 10 damage to Joshua's hero and successfully completing the Jedi counter kill.

[explosion, 10 fees, epic of master Bai Jing]

[cause 10 damage]

(boom!)

"Well, the pastime game is over."

After clicking on the game hero voice "I'm convinced to lose you", Joshua stood up and said, "now that the intelligence has been collected, it's time for me to go back and prepare for the cleaning of the black forest."

"Well, actually I cheated this time. After all, my legend card has not been officially released yet."

To this, Nostradamus shook his head, he said strangely: "those goblins didn't look for you? It's clear that the main manufacturers of Goblin card tables are in Moldavia. I thought your card has been finished. This time I'm going to see what effect your card has. "

"Of course. As for my legend card."

When he said that, Joshua, who had already got up, could not help but smile: "the goblin had to follow me personally. He said that he wanted to see my process of cleaning up the black forest, determine my strength, and then he could finalize several designs."

"That's what I'm looking forward to."

At the end of the speech, Nostradamus, sitting in the chair, waved to Joshua, who turned and left: "see you when we move... By the way, Joshua, I say again, don't focus too much on the demons cleaning the black forest. They are not our real targets."

"Of course I won't forget."

Hearing this, Joshua, who had already come to the door of the reception hall, stopped. He turned his head and said with a smile, "reclaim the last remaining body of the evil god 'fertility' in the world, purify the remaining power of chaos, and thoroughly eliminate the beacon of the evil god left in the world."

"This is the real purpose of all the major forces joining hands to clean up the central black forest."
