The Middle East.
Also known as the Middle East.
It refers to the eastern and southern regions of the Mediterranean, a large area from the eastern Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, parts of Western Asia and North Africa, and the region of about 23 countries, including Egypt in West Asia and Africa, except afghanistan.
It covers an area of more than 15 million square kilometers and has a population of 490 million. It connects Asia, Europe and Africa, connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Since ancient times, it has been a transportation hub between the East and the West. It is a land of two oceans, three continents and five seas. Its strategic position is extremely important.
The main ethnic group here is white people. However, in history, the eastern and Western cultures exchange frequently here, and many ethnic groups gather here. However, all ethnic groups still maintain their own religious beliefs and customs. Most of the residents believe in Ezra, while the minority people believe in Christianity, Judaism and other religions, and regard Jerusalem as the holy city.
Due to cultural differences, the Middle East is extremely unstable. In order to compete for precious freshwater resources and oil resources, the situation here is turbulent all the year round under the guidance of religious and cultural differences.
According to the formal human history records, in the 13th century, it was recognized that the last large-scale Crusade aimed at holy land was the ninth crusade.
Louis IX's failure to capture Tunis in the eighth Crusade led to Prince Edward's decision to drive to Arca, which was the beginning of the ninth crusade.
However, the eastern expedition ended in failure.
It is said that the failure of the ninth crusade was due to the disappearance of the knighthood of the Crusades and the rise of Mamluk forces headed by baibar in Egypt.
Its failure heralded the fall of the Crusaders' last stronghold on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean.
With the fall of Akha City, the kingdom of Jerusalem officially declared its demise. The Crusaders' activity center also moved to toltosa in the north. Finally, they had to move to Cyprus. The last stronghold of the holy land, Awad Island, was captured in 1302 or 1303 A.D. 208 years later, the Crusader era on the holy land came to an end.
The beginning of this era was the end of the ninth Crusade, and the withdrawal of western countries from Jerusalem declared the end of the crusade as its origin.
Luo Zhen and Matthew came to such an era.
At this moment, in this land of the Middle East, two huge wolves are running.
On his back, Luo Zhen and Matthew sat separately and ran forward with the wolf.
These two giant wolves are the demons summoned by Luo Zhen. They are used to walk on the road and act as mounts.
Originally, Luo really wanted to summon a flying dragon to ride. Flying is undoubtedly faster and more convenient.
But after thinking about it carefully, Luo Zhen gave up and summoned the two intermediate demons of the giant wolf instead.
The reason, of course, is because of what we have seen before.
"If you fly so blatantly in the sky, maybe you will be found by the owner of that light and be beaten down directly."
If it turns out that way, it's not worth the loss.
So Luo Zhen decided to go on the road from the ground and give up flying.
From the ground, Luo Zhen and Matthew can see the surrounding environment very clearly.
After deliberately avoiding the craters like craters, Luo Zhen and Matthew saw the earth burning everywhere like hidden magma.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
The two giant wolves ran at the same time, and made a restless sound, which seemed to be uncomfortable by the heat and high concentration of magic around them.
"The environment at this particular point is really bad."
Matthew's face was heavy.
In the past, Matthew had not experienced the peculiarity of bad environment.
For example, the sea area of the third special spot not only has to survive at sea, but also often encounters storms.
For example, the fourth special point of London, the whole city is shrouded in magic fog, ordinary people will even melt.
Compared with these, the environment of the sixth special point is not so much. It is also full of depression, heaviness and even despair. The huge craters like craters are so shocking, and there are flames that seem to burst out slowly. It's really breathless.
Luo Zhen looks as usual.
"This special point is more fragile than any previous one, and it may collapse at any time. So the influence of human beings' burning has interfered here, causing the earth to burn?"
Luo Zhen's cloak is dancing in the roaring wind, which makes Luo Zhen's posture look extremely elegant.
Luo Zhen spoke to Matthew in this situation.
"Now, we have to collect intelligence to see what the situation of this special spot is, and then quickly solve the situation and repair the special point. Otherwise, we will go to hell with this special spot at some time."
To this end, Luo Zhen summoned countless birds when he called out the wolf, and let them scatter around to collect intelligence.At the same time, Chaldea is also providing support.
"The radar scan results are out. Now I'll send you the map."
Leonardo da Vinci's voice came from the communicator, so that the light curtain was shaped and displayed in front of Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen can see that the map of the Middle East in this era appears in front of him in the form of hologram, like the satellite scanning receiver in GGO.
Then came Roman's voice.
"As you can see, the whole Middle East is now divided into about three regions: the holy land, the mountain areas and the desert areas, which are more central."
"We can observe that there is only one huge city in the holy land, that is Jerusalem, but all the surrounding areas of Jerusalem are turned into wilderness, like the surface of the moon, with craters like craters, and the earth is covered with flame. It is almost impossible to imagine that anyone can survive in it."
"Mountain areas are more remote, and sporadic life reactions can be detected. Villages may be distributed among them, but the specific location is not clear."
"The desert, for some reason, can't be observed and scanned at all. Only great sandstorms can be observed and the magic power is so strong that the rest of them are unknown. They belong to the most mysterious of the three regions."
"You are now in the holy land, and the distance from Jerusalem, at the present rate, is only about two or three hours away."
That's the end of Roman's statement.
Then Olga Marie's voice rang.
"According to this situation, the key to the special point is likely to be in the desert. The holy land is likely to be the helper of the people who resist the desert area. The sporadic life reaction in the mountain area is probably the shelter of the survivors of this era. In the present environment, besides the holy capital Jerusalem, only there is barely suitable for human survival It is. "
In other words, the special grail is likely to be in the desert, where there are enemies of Luo Zhen and others. In the holy capital Jerusalem, there are neutral followers resisting them. In this era, human beings are living in the mountain areas. This is probably the current situation.
"Well, we are now in the holy land. Going to the holy capital and cooperating with the helpers there should be the top priority at present."
Matthews made a summary, in exchange for the approval of all the Chaldeans.
Luo Zhen slightly pondered for a moment, just want to say something, the heart is a move.
"What's the matter? Elder? "
Matthew, keenly aware of this, asked.
"... nothing." Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "it's just that most of the demons I sent out have been eliminated."
"What?" Matthewton was stunned.
