Chapter 481: Ruins Desert(1/2)
Dreamy crystal domain?
Lin Chuan was quite knowledgeable about history and geography, but the name Crystal Domain was very unfamiliar. He quickly turned around in his mind, but there was still no relevant information.
After pressing his ear, Lin Chuan waited for the headset to give him the answer. He knew that this ancient intelligent brain must know the crystal domain.
Because, when Fowler mentioned the crystal domain, a "sizzling" sound came from the headset, which was a rare reaction for moss bones.
"Crystal Domain! It's such a place of nostalgia. Cromwell actually accepted a genius from the Crystal Domain as a student..."
In the earpiece, Moss Bone sighed softly and told Lin Chuan that the crystal domain was a dreamy place in the east and west continents, which was as mysterious as the elves' territory.
In ancient times, there were four mysterious areas such as the East and West Continents, and they were called the four major domains.
The territory of the elves and the dreamy crystal domain are the two of the two of the four major domains.
The third domain is the birthplace of the dragon clan, Dragon Island.
That place was destroyed before the Dark Ages.
The ethnic groups that survive in the four major domains have innate talents. In ancient times, they can be said to be higher creatures in the world.
...
What about the fourth domain...
Lin Chuan did not hear the following words of the moss bone, but he had a rough answer in his mind.
At this time, I heard Fowler mention the various rumors about the crystal domain. It is said that the creatures there are as handsome as the elves, beautiful as the elves, and beautiful as women, and magical skills.
It is rumored that the creatures in the crystal domain, together with the elves, dwarves and goblins, created magic weapons from the ancient times.
When the first generation of Xinyuan powerhouses first rose, they were not enough to compete with the power of the sea beast legion. What was really fighting on the front line was these powerful groups, relying on those legendary weapons to collide with the terrifying sea beast legion.
"The creatures in the crystal domain have always been able to teach other ethnic groups. They actually regard Cromwell as their teacher. This is really..." Fowler said this, shook his head and began to use Cromwell's daily neglect.
Lin Chuan glanced at it, frowned and pondered: "You infer that Ms. Yu's ancestor was from the creatures in the crystal domain. One is that she holds another half of the key, and the other is that she is beautiful enough?"
"Of course not..., why do I judge people by their appearance..."
Fowler shook his head repeatedly, and then he showed a strange smile, "I know that the creatures in the crystal realm have a characteristic on them. Ms. Yu happens to have it. So, I infer that her ancestors were not only the creatures in the crystal realm, but also a mixed-race child. The characteristic on her is not complete."
"However, that feature is very secret. I didn't notice it last time, so I checked it out this time. Mr. Chuan, do you want to know what this feature looks like, and what parts are..."
Looking at the expression on Fowler's face, Lin Chuan decisively refused to continue hearing the secret. The former looked regretful. This was a rare secret in the world. Except for him, there were only a handful of people in the world who knew this secret.
Looking at Fowler who was proud of his youth, Lin Chuan curled his lips and suddenly said, "Mr. Fowler, since you say that Ms. Yu is a mixed-race child, who do you think her ancestors will be?"
"Well……"
Hearing this question, Fowler was stunned, and then his face looked extremely ugly. He covered his head and shouted in pain: "No..., this is impossible..."
It deeply hit this wandering guy. Lin Chuan nodded with a smile, and then sorted out the clues he collected again.
"The genius from the crystal domain became a student of Cromwell..."
Lin Chuan murmured to himself, it seemed that what happened in Fokagaota in the past was even more complicated than expected.
The former Foca Tower and Cromwell's research here may not be invited, but came here specifically to study the body of the divine stone.
Thinking about this, Lin Chuan looked out the window. The sky of the Foka Tower was still gloomy. Even on a rare sunny day, there was no trace of sunshine.
Thousands of years ago, under the same sky, what role did Cromwell, his students, subordinates, the sea beast royal family, and even some secret forces play in this incident?
Lin Chuan had a premonition that the truth of this incident may be very different from the clues investigated.
However, he was not very interested in the incident itself. If the truth is, let it be buried in the long river of history...
"Prepare it, treat Bayoun, and go to the northern region of the Star Ao Empire to see if you can find some clues in the ruins of the explosion of the experimental base..."
Lin Chuan packed his things and was inexplicably relaxed. After staying in places like Foca Tower for a long time, he missed those sunny places very much.
He was considering whether to go back to the mechanical hive before heading to the north to raise the mechanic's star rating by two levels.
Or, when you arrive in Watkin City, the beach is sunny and the scenery is unlimited. During the period there, Lin Chuan had not sunbathed on the beach.
...
One month later—
Star Empire, north, ruins and deserts.
The ruins desert is a narrow strip of land that lies across the territory of the Xinga Empire, which separates the north of the empire from other regions.
Huhuhuhuhu...
This is a desertified area, with gusts of wind and sand sweeping, blowing the beast bones everywhere on the ground making whimpering sounds...
Looking back at the history of this area, in fact, a long time ago, when the Hundred Years' War on the mainland began, this place was not so deserted.
The ruins and deserts, before the Hundred Years War, had a very nice name called Dream City.
This area was once an extremely prosperous city-state group in the history of the Xingao Empire, bordering the major roads between Daxingao County and the north. Its degree of development was once the most outstanding place in the empire.
Afterwards, with the years of civil war in the Star Ao Empire, the city-states here were the first to be blasted, and cities collapsed and turned into ruins.
Before the Hundred Years War, this was a place where many people searched for gold. Any ancient object that was discovered could make you rich overnight. Over time, you will have the reputation of the City of Dreams.
However, a large number of gold diggers poured in, and even a mountain of gold would be quickly hollowed out. The same is true for the city of dreams. The craze lasted for hundreds of years. By the time of the Hundred Years' War, it was completely deserted and there was no more people.
Nowadays, from a distance, you can see the outlines of the ruins of the city, and no one has excavated the ruins of those cities.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
In the wind and sand all over the sky, a long object was moving forward, moving at a rapid speed, looking like a suspended train traveling in the desert.
However, if you get closer and see the true face of this object, you will scare ordinary people to scream.
This is a huge insect with hard shells all over it, and its long body is close to the sand, sliding rapidly like a swimming fish.
This is a special insect in the ruins and deserts - the giant sandworm.
It is also the most practical means of transportation in the desert - the sandworm train!
On both sides of the body of this giant sandworm, there are large boxes inlaid. Each box has the size of a small house, and inside are passengers on the sandworm train.
Vehicles that pass through the ruins and deserts have been using giant sandworms since a long time ago, and to this day, they are still the case.
It’s not that levitation vehicles and levitation trains cannot drive here, but there are many terrifying beasts in the ruins and deserts, which pose a huge threat to these carriers.
This situation is different from that of Foca Plain.
Although the ferocious beasts on the Foka Plain are terrible, they can use defensive words to prevent them.
Many of the terrifying beasts in the desert of the ruins are moving under the sand. In such a landform environment, a ferocious beast suddenly jumps out from the ground while driving, or swallows the hover cart directly.
Or the tracks of the suspended train were torn off by ferocious beasts underground. These situations are hard to guard against.
Over time, no one wants to develop a traffic route map in the ruins and deserts.
After all, the speed and safety of the Sandworm train are reputable throughout the continent.
Dongdongdongdongdong...
As the giant sandworm slides, Lin Chuan, Fowler, Little White Cow Harpoon, and Bayoun are all inside in the extended carriage on one side of its body, and there is a little girl holding Lan Xiaomao and feeding her.
At the car door, there was a taciturn puppet standing.
Old Aidan and Hawuya sat aside, and the two were drinking tea there and looking through books.
It has been two days since the journey in the ruins and deserts. According to the itinerary, you can reach your destination in about one day.
The reason why I delayed it for a month before going to the northern part of Xingao Empire was not that Lin Chuan had a month off by himself.
In fact, Lan Xiaomiao enjoyed the beach sunbathing for more than half a month in Davokin City, lying in the arms of girls all day long, being eaten, praised, and having a lot of fun like Mr. Meow.
The moss bone controls [Shadow of the Void Bone] and stays in Davokin City for repair, but does not follow him.
After Bayoun's injury was cured, he stayed in Focagao Tower, accompanied by Fowler, and happily lived a wonderful life of a man who had not had for more than ten years.
It is said that in the past month, Bayoun has become the favor of many noble women and private topics for many noble women, and has lived an extremely comfortable life.
...
Compared to the wonderful days of these people, Lin Chuan lived a miserable life. He first went to Davokin City for a week, restlessly repairing the [Shadow of the Bone].
Then, Master Barcelona urged him to return to the mechanical beehive and sorted out the gains in Foca Tower.
The information Lin Chuan submitted was actually some scraps of material, and did not involve the core part of Cromwell's research.
However, it has attracted the attention of the mechanical hive and is listed as the highest-level research project. Lin Chuan was almost left there and became one of the main leaders of the project.
If he hadn't used Professor Teixo as a shield, Teacher Tieyin was still in the mechanical beehive and was trained as the next owner of the Fire Blade Machinery Workshop.
You won't be so unlucky. During your journey to the ruins and deserts, you'll encounter the terrifying beasts here...
Isn't it said that the safety of the sandworm train is the highest among all trains on the mainland? There has been no accidents in thirty years.
"There may be troubles, but the danger is not..."
Bayoun stared out the window, and the fire in the dust storm in the distance became brighter and brighter, constantly approaching here.
Bang!
Just outside the carriage, less than a thousand meters away, a tongue of flame rushed up and spread over.
"This fire is coming..." The little white bull screamed.
Lin Chuan turned his head, looked at the harpoon, and said, "Do you think it's very dangerous?"
"Then..." Harpo was stunned and shook his head, "I don't think so..."
Then what are you calling me...
To be continued...
