"This place was buried in fucking snow after the Seventans were gone?"
Looking at the city in front of him that was almost completely buried by ice and snow, Wang Yu himself felt a little unbelievable. This place is the old capital of Saiwentan. Even if there are no people here, the various facilities are still quite well maintained. .
It was simply inexplicable that the Alestler people did not use this capital. Although he had heard some things related to this place before, Wang Yu still had to sigh when he actually arrived here.
"It's no wonder that Aleister was able to defeat Severin. The environment here is a bit too harsh. Even if this environment can cultivate brave and capable warriors, the gap in resources is still too big after all."
Shaking his head, Wang Yu could understand why this place had not been developed. In fact, Arestle had made a lot of promises to this city. All kinds of people with meritorious service were assigned a place here, but for The construction here has not yet been completed.
The reason is simple. What Aleister needs is not a city that can actually be used for distribution. After all, no matter how big the city is, it will be distributed one day. What they need is such a cake standing in a bitter cold place. As long as this As long as the cake is still there, it can continue to draw pictures for others to see.
And having a territory of your own in the kingdom, this cake is really too attractive. Even if you know that this territory is located in a bitter cold land, and you know that this cake may never be cashed, there will still be a large number of people. People who are willing to gamble and risk their lives flock to this. Of course, there are also some idiots who really can't think.
This thing is simply a hugely profitable deal. As long as the old capital of Seventan is still here, the Aleister royal family can use this thing to fool many people and work for them.
At least some travelers, adventurers, and free people in the kingdom are happy to work hard for this quite "generous" reward.
"Is this what you got in the end?"
Sieg, who walked out of the Seed of Eden space and chatted with Edward for a while, commented with some sarcasm.
The old city of Severtan that appeared in front of Wang Yu showed an extremely desolate and dilapidated appearance. As mentioned before, it was almost completely buried by ice and snow. This is near the foot of the Santa Ana Snowfield, starting from Santa Ana. Blizzards blow across the snowfields all year round.
After the magic circle used to isolate the wind and snow inside the city was destroyed in the war, there was no longer anything that could protect the city from the wind and snow. Without anyone living in it, this old capital belonging to Seventan was lost in the passage of time. It was slowly and completely submerged by the wind and snow.
Before, Arestle did not develop this capital in any sense. There were almost only adventurers who came here spontaneously, and some who were either excluded or made mistakes and were sent here inexplicably. Unlucky Aleister's officers were on the job.
Most of the adventurers who actually came here and got a glimpse of this desolate scene and extremely harsh environment in the capital simply ran away.
However, those unlucky officials did not have an order and did not dare to evacuate here without authorization, otherwise the punishment they would suffer would be even more severe. They could only live here helplessly, praying that their difficult days would pass quickly, and Waiting for the kingdom to come here for construction.
"My father has already moved here and started to develop it. In about a few months, the territory of the Northern Archduke will be moved here. By then, being far away from the royal city, some things will be good. Deal with it here."
Edward said.
"That's it. Anyway, we don't need to stay much longer. We have to hurry up and rush to the Endless Sea. After all, this is just a transit point. Take a look at the city under the ice you mentioned, and then meet the Dragon Worship Cult It would be nice if we could talk to the relevant person."
Wang Yu nodded. He was too lazy to care about what happened to the city. It had nothing to do with him. As for the accounts of the Arestle royal family, he would settle them properly after they returned from dealing with matters on the Endless Sea.
After passing through this city that was almost completely buried in snow, with only a small part cleared out and used as a temporary base, Wang Yu and the others arrived at the foot of the Santa Ana Snow Peak. They saw this from a distance.
A rather large gaping cave appeared on the glacier cliff of a towering snowfield that never melts all year round.
Within the huge cave, there were quite a few buildings vaguely emerging. These partially frozen buildings spread all the way to the depths of the glacier. It was impossible to count how many there were.
According to Wang Yu's judgment, the size of this city under the ice is almost comparable to the old capital of Seventan, and the style and layout of those buildings are quite different from those of this era.
"This frozen ancient capital suddenly appeared recently. A mercenary investigation team that took over the mission discovered something was wrong here. A group of humans who could turn into beasts attacked the camp in the old capital of Seventan. During the investigation I found the place where they lived in seclusion, which is here." Kan Shula
"We haven't fully figured out what's going on here yet, but one thing is for sure. This city under the ice is related to the soul, and it is releasing the fragments of the soul."
Edward introduced Wang Yu to the frozen city that suddenly appeared under the Santa Ana snowfield.
"Soul fragment?"
Wang Yu rubbed his chin and had some thoughts about this word.
"Yes, these souls will be absorbed by newborns born in the snowfield, and another soul will be formed in their bodies. When they grow up, they will show the characteristics of twin souls, but the other soul has no sense at all. It can be said that it is a wild and bloodthirsty existence."
"Under special conditions, these people will transform into beasts, undergo alienation in their bodies, and become beast-like existences, killing and devouring all living creatures uncontrollably."
"We still don't know why this ancient city releases soul fragments and why this happens."
Edward told Wang Yu about the situation here. In fact, this ancient capital that was suddenly discovered is not an isolated case. Similar things have been happening on the mainland recently, and some ruins buried by time have reappeared in the world. In my eyes, they are everywhere.
"The soul can also affect the body? This is quite interesting. It is similar to what some friends in the Sky Mechanical City have judged. The mainland has not been peaceful recently, and it can be regarded as a turbulent year."
Wang Yu had expected this. The mainland was vaguely becoming chaotic, and there were some signs of it.
Regardless of the sudden discovery of the city, Wang Yu had another purpose for their trip. There happened to be someone related to the Dragon Worship Cult in this place, and they needed to communicate with him.
In a temporary but quite complete wooden house at the foot of the Santa Ana snowfield, Wang Yu and the others saw this being. This was a young man who looked quite young, even younger than Wang Yu. His appearance was not very outstanding. But a pair of red eyes is quite eye-catching.
"Hello, my name is Wright Severson. Nice to meet you, Your Excellency the Archbishop."
The other party greeted Wang Yu quite enthusiastically, and it seemed that he had some understanding of the archbishop.
Wang Yu has never separated his identity from the identity of the Archbishop of the Night Church, or in other words, this is his purpose. He needs outsiders' recognition of him to bind him to the identity of the Archbishop of the Night Church.
In this way, when all his actions are analyzed by people with ulterior motives, they are likely to connect the motives with the identity of the Archbishop of the Night Church, and instead misjudge Wang Yu's true purpose.
"Hello, just call me Wang Yu."
This young man who happened to travel near the Santa Ana snowfield was discovered by the Lady of the Night after joining the Church of the Night. Some of his qualities made him stand out to those who knew about it.
Wang Yu's chariot power cannot directly penetrate and observe the body of a "living" person, but the blood in his body can feel the specialness of the blood flowing in the body of the young man sitting opposite him. The characteristics of dragon blood are probably the result of the red color in the opponent's eyes.
After a brief pause, the other party stated his request firmly to Wang Yu.
"Your Excellency Wang Yu, I hope to find a giant dragon related to me. Its name is Caesar.
The blood is what it gives. "
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows. He knew that this person was related to the Dragon Worship Cult, but it seemed that the connection between Wright and the Dragon Worship Cult and the dragon was deeper than he guessed?
"This is no problem. If I can contact it, I will inform you through the prayer communication network. In fact, there has been news about it recently, and I want to know something related to the Dragon Worship Cult from you."
With Aviya's help, Wang Yu transmitted the battle that took place near the Fading Love Mountain to the other party through the prayer communication network in the form of a picture.
As for the contact the other party mentioned, it is a bit difficult. Wang Yu and the others can't contact Arilian now. It seems that the other party is deliberately avoiding them. However, the prayer communication network, which is quite convenient for contact, is not suitable for the dragons. .
What happened to them has made them very sensitive to the word faith. It is probably impossible for them to believe in the Lady of the Night.
"Thank you for your information. The reason why I am wandering outside is actually closely related to the Dragon Worship Cult. Revenge and search are my goals."
Wright expressed his gratitude to Wang Yu. This was the first time in so many years that he had received news related to Caesar, and then began to talk about his relationship with the Dragon Cult.
From the other party's story, Wang Yu learned that Wright was originally a member of the nobility of a kingdom further north, that is, in the northern part of the continent, not in the north of Arestle.
But about seven or eight years ago, Caesar appeared in the sky fighting with the Dragon Cult. After eliminating the enemies, he was severely injured by a special attack and fell to their family. After smashing a bunch of buildings, the Wright family Caesar provided some help and allowed him to recover from his injuries.
After regaining his mobility, in return, Caesar left some dragon blood for Wright, taught him some lessons, and then left.
But then, the Dragon Cult suddenly appeared and slaughtered all of Wright's family in search of Caesar. Now the only survivor of the entire family is this young man who tried his best to escape.
"It seems that the activities of the Dragon Worship Cult actually began to appear earlier. But judging from the area of activity, it does spread from the Endless Sea to the interior of the continent."
"That is to say, the Dragon Cult appeared near the Endless Sea and hunted the dragon. Since Aleister, where Sieg is located, is relatively inland, the Dragon Cult appeared at night. Very few, and very few of the Dragon Worship Cult’s messages have reached here.”
After a little analysis, Wang Yu found that the Dragon Worship Cult, an organization that seemed to appear suddenly, could actually collect a lot of information. However, because the other party only acted against giant dragons, the information displayed to the outside world was very scarce. .
In this way, if Wang Yu borrows the now-opened Night Church, he might be able to get more information related to the Dragon Worship Cult.
"Speaking of which, is your submersible called the Beast Spirit Walker?"
Wang Yu suddenly asked Wright a question.
"That's right."
The opponent nodded and activated his inner potential. Some incorporeal monsters composed of fighting spirit appeared from around the opponent and cruised around him.
Birds, bears, tortoises... The effect of the opponent's inner potential is to control the soul of the monster and turn it into fighting energy of different natures for his own use. This sense of déjà vu made Wang Yu want to hold his forehead. Previously, in the elven capital of Leah, Mu has seen the Treasure Cat of the King, and now he has met Udyr, a different world. I can only say that there are all kinds of wonders in this world.
Staring at the monster manifested by fighting spirit next to Wright, Wang Yu felt a little more thoughtful besides being speechless. He had seen many hidden dangers, evil spirits possessing, burning cities, etc., all in different forms. The same, but at this moment the effect of the other party's internal dive gave Wang Yu some vague ideas.
"Forgetting the weird feeling due to my personal reasons, his inner potential is very strange. This kind of expression may be used in this way. What is it that causes different people to have inner potential..."
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yu didn't come up with a reason. He didn't go into details. He wrote down the inspiration that happened by chance, said goodbye to Wright and Edward, and continued to set off. After crossing the Santa Ana snowfield, he could reach the Endless Sea, and he was ahead of schedule. connect
The sharks on the mountain are waiting for them over there.
