Chapter 1429 Dark Moon Palace(1/2)
(Please give me a monthly ticket! That’s right, I’m asking for a monthly ticket at the last moment! Of course, I’ll continue to ask for an annual ticket by the way... Also, isn’t this big hole in Dark Moon full of twists and turns?)
The earthly world and Dark Moon have completely different social structures.
According to the progress of civilization, the above-ground world, that is, Hessenwood, is more like a "normal" intra-planetary civilization. Its various races have certain exchanges and integration, but overall they are still clearly divided into different countries, and each country is divided into different countries.
As the leader, dozens of kingdoms, large and small, divide and occupy the vast continent on the planet. These countries maintain a generally peaceful situation. Although there are occasional disputes between each other, they have initially formed an international alliance——
They have a parliament composed of racial leaders and kingdom leaders. This parliament takes the Goddess Cult's teachings of "equality, mutual assistance, and unity" as its core ideas. It is responsible for organizing all races around the world to fight back when the Dark Moon War comes, and in peace
During this period, all races were promoted to recuperate and recuperate. As a result, the entire planet was basically in a state of peace: this is the situation in the world on the ground.
Dark Moon has a completely different social environment. Although its number of races is not less than that of the earth, there is no country, no racial territory, or even any territorial divisions on this planet. All races on Dark Moon are mixed.
Living together, the only ruler of the entire planet is the Dark Moon Lord. They call themselves Dark Moon citizens. Apart from that, few people mention their own race, and no one remembers what a "country" is. This
It is a planet that has been under absolute centralized rule for thousands of years. Social classes, organizational forms, industry divisions and other aspects have been highly simplified. In some respects, this planet may be better than the world on the ground.
It also meets the definition of "peaceful unity" - it has not had an internal war for two thousand years.
There is a reason for the special social environment of Dark Moon: it is a large prison. The entire planet has only one purpose, which is to suppress and seal the demonic forces trapped deep underground on the planet. It not only suppresses those frustrated monsters
, and also suppressed those ominous shadows wandering around. Since the heroes thousands of years ago temporarily bound the secondary abyss in a small cage at a huge cost, all races on the Dark Moon have only one identity:
jailer.
As a prison, it naturally does not need a state. It only needs a prison guard system. Lord Angyue is the warden here.
It is difficult to say clearly which of these two completely different social environments is better or worse. On the surface, it seems that Anyue has reached the level of complete integration of all races and the complete elimination of civil war. However, at the same time, all races in the earth world have
They are still searching for the best way to coexist, but according to Bingtis’s insights, the world on earth is actually a more dynamic normal civilization. Although it has not yet eliminated internal friction, it has the surging motivation to continue moving forward;
On the contrary, the moon is a lifeless place. Although the various ethnic groups in the dark moon have become unified, they have lost their goals and reasons for continued development thousands of years ago: as a prison. Everyone born on the dark moon is from birth to death.
They were all planned to work, and although they avoided civil war, they also eliminated the power of change.
Lord Dark Moon and his assistant Blood Princess both live in the palace. The place called Dark Moon Palace is almost never open to the public. All instructions usually issued by Blood Princess are sent by the wardens of the palace.
Come out and distribute it to all parts of the planet. The Dark Moon people cannot see their leader at all. The only day when the Dark Moon Palace is open to the public on a large scale is when the Dark Moon War comes - on that day, the Dark Moon King will be dressed in gorgeous clothes.
The armored charioteer went on a personal expedition to the earthly world to take that stabbing blow, and now the day has almost come.
The teleportation tower leading to Dark Moon Palace requires some troublesome authentication methods to open, and the palace itself doesn't seem to be too far from here, so Zoya decided to lead everyone there directly. After we left the underground city,
They kept heading in a deserted direction and soon left the main road. Finally they came to the foot of a bare hill. Zoya looked at the surrounding environment and seemed to be quite satisfied with it, so she asked everyone to step back a little.
Although I guessed what she wanted to do, I still subconsciously asked: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to transform into a dragon form so that I can fly there faster," Zoya said as she took a deep breath, but was choked by the bad air on the dark moon and coughed. "This damn fog...
Two thousand years ago, the air here was better than it is now. It seems that as time goes by, the demonic power is still subtly affecting this planet."
I shrugged silently and looked around: the ubiquitous thick fog on the dark moon kept the entire planet in a gray state, and of course it was the same here. In fact, judging by my naked eyes alone, I had no idea that I had just been heading towards
Which direction to go in. If there is no special method, you will have to get lost when you go out when living here. Therefore, there is a strange phenomenon among Anyue folk: the first time children in the family go out is after they are seven years old, and before that they have to follow their parents.
Learn how to use various pathfinding and rescue spells - the visibility on this planet is terrible.
It is said that some vampires have been forced to super-evolve by this terrible weather. Newborns who can use ultrasound to locate their babies have begun to appear, and monsters have frequently appeared new-types that can directly read the geomagnetic field... This is simply confusing.
People can't laugh or cry.
"Roar--"
A low howl interrupted my messy thoughts. It turned out that Zoya had completed her transformation. I followed the sound and saw a huge black figure slowly walking through the thick fog. When I got closer, I realized that it was
A slender silver-white dragon, about ten meters tall and thirty or forty meters long: by the standards of the dragon clan, this is probably a beauty?
"Transforming and running so far is not as satisfying as being the outcast at home. Lin transformed all the time in front of us," Bingtis couldn't help but come over to me and chew on me, "But this
The little silver dragon is slimmer than Lin, and the girl at home can hardly see her feet when she transforms into dragon form, thanks to her having two heads."
This guy Bingtis can really comment on anything he catches.
"Are you going to take us there?" Qian Qian happily jumped to Zoya's feet, hugged one of Silver Dragon's nails and shouted, "Thank you, your scales are really pretty!"
Zoya lowered her head slightly, her voice booming, but she could still hear the female voice: "The dragons never let other creatures stand on their backs, unless they are their partners or other relatives, but if they are serving God
If so, I think it’s an honor.”
What she said was neither humble nor arrogant. And you can also hear a bit of pride. Obviously, the sense of glory of this naked Dragon King has not disappeared with her decadent life for so many years. If it were other people present, riding a dragon for the first time
She will definitely jump up and down with joy, but our family is an exception - Lin has been a means of transportation at home for a long time, and we are all familiar with her. Zoya lowered her wings and let everyone climb on her back.
Helping people climb up while still talking about it——
Qianqian: "It seems that the back is not as wide as imagined."
Bingtis: "Well. This little silver dragon is a bit thin and should eat more meat."
Lin Xue: "It would be nice to have a railing here, but of course it would be better to have a fully enclosed box."
Bingtis immediately agreed: "Yes, it's just like the one installed on Lin's back. But it's too narrow here and our mahjong table can't be unfolded."
Viska concluded his speech regretfully: "You can't just carve words here, right? I still want to play backgammon with my brother."
Only Dingdang said something very comforting to Zoya: "Actually, Dingdang thinks this place is quite open!" As long as he is in a place with a radius of more than one meter, Dingdang loses the concept of size. Most places in the world are not familiar with Dingdang.
Words are all boundless...
Zoya listened to the picky guys riding on her back and kept mumbling, her neck drooping lower and lower. Fortunately, Bingtis discovered this situation in time and quickly explained: "Hey, little girl, don't mind.
, we didn’t complain about you, it’s just that there is a dragon bigger than you at home, so we subconsciously compared it with you.”
"Another dragon?!" Zoya's body shook. Suddenly everyone on her back staggered.
"Ah, yes, another dragon," Bingtis smiled and patted Zoya on the back, "So we said everything will be fine, even if we can't resurrect your compatriots who have been dead for thousands of years, we
I am also sure that you will meet a lot of new friends..."
Zoya's spirits were lifted in an instant, and then she took everyone into the sky with two steps. The ground was shaking. We hurriedly opened the barrier to resist the strong wind, and Bingtis stomped his feet angrily: "Scared.
I'm so excited! You and Lin will definitely get along, your takeoff and her landing are a perfect match!"
Although I felt it was inappropriate to complain after I was already riding on someone else’s back, after taking off, I still felt that Lin’s aviation service was more comfortable: on the back of that doormat, we even dared to hold a bonfire party in the air, Bingtis even
A set of floor heaters were installed under the thickest scales on Lin's back to improve the riding experience (anyway, the dragon god sister has rough skin and thick flesh and can't feel it), but everyone is much more constrained on Zoya's back. I still have to be there at any time.
Keep an eye on Qianqian and Hueska to prevent them from carving this or drawing little tortoises on other people's backs...
Dark Moon's poor atmospheric environment also showed its power after we took off. Almost as soon as we were just a hundred meters above the ground, it was completely white above and below us. Everyone almost felt like they were flying in a chaotic space. We were protected by barriers.
. She could still talk and laugh, but Zoya could only keep her mouth shut, and even her breathing was carefully planned. I understand her approach very well: in such a severe haze, she was traveling at subsonic speed, if she still opened her mouth
If so, she would probably be full before landing...
Looking at the thick fog rolling around me, I especially want to know if Zoya regrets choosing the air route to fly there...
Fortunately, our destination was not very far away. After flying for only about half an hour, I felt Zoya lowering her altitude, and then a tall shadow faintly appeared in the thick fog ahead.
It seemed to be a mountain top, or it might be a protruding part of a mountain range. Looking at the thick fog, Bingtis asked a question in a particularly prescient way: "Although there is navigation in the general direction, do you think this is the case?"
Is it reliable to make a blind landing in heavy fog?”
Everyone's expressions changed with horror, and then the reflexes that had been honed by riding Lin on trips burst out at this moment. We put away the card mats and small tables, rushed to the edge of the dragon's back and jumped down. Within two seconds, one person
Everyone jumped down.
Everyone slowed down in the thick fog, used mental perception to find the landing point, and then landed safely. A huge black shadow in the sky flew into the distance without hesitation. A moment later, a rumbling sound came from about two or three kilometers in front.
I suddenly felt that she and Lin might really be a perfect match...
Everyone waited for a while before they saw Zoya walking out of the thick fog. She had returned to her human form. Her whole body was extremely embarrassed. The originally cold and beautiful white-haired lady now looked like the one who had just been dug in Shanxi.
She has been living like coal for fifteen years. As she walked toward the crowd, she coughed violently, gasped hard, and retched from time to time. I couldn't stand it, so I stepped forward and patted her back to give her advice: "Before the atmosphere in Dark Moon improves,
You'd better not fly the flight, it will hurt the engine..."
Zoya looked at me with burning eyes and said: "...Sneeze?!"
It's really hard for her to fly for thirty minutes despite the smog in the sky, but you can see that this sister's expression is much richer now.
"Is that the Dark Moon Palace?" Qian Qian stared around for a while, and finally found a tall and vague outline in the thick fog in the distance. It looked a bit like a mountain at first, but if you look carefully, the outline
There are obvious traces of man-made artifacts.
"That's the direction." Zoya coughed and nodded, "Let's walk there..."
Sister Long, who has facial paralysis, never dares to fly again.
Everyone opened the barrier to isolate the annoying dust and fog around them, and then quickly rushed towards the huge building in the distance. Zoya looked at the surrounding transparent shield in amazement that could isolate the dust and fog without affecting the air circulation (see this world
There is no similar magic or technology), and while running forward with the team, he thought thoughtfully: "I wish you had put this on my head just now, the fog almost choked me to death."
Bingtis: "...fuck, why didn't anyone think of it just now?"
I stumbled on my feet. I tried to smooth things over in embarrassment: "We'll talk about it next time, we'll talk about it next time - by the way, you have to put a dust cover on your head when flying. Are you going to submerge, Zoya?"
Everyone walked quickly, and the hazy huge shadow of the Dark Moon Palace soon turned into a clear image in the thick fog. When I got closer, I discovered that it was a stone building similar to a castle. It was built on a high ground.
The top of the rocky platform... No, it is not built on the top of the rocky platform - this castle is actually carved directly on a giant rock! It is integrated with the rocky platform below, and the gray-white main body has natural boulder textures and
The undecorated rock window openings are because there are cracks inside the natural rock. The castle carved out of the rock looks like a cracked stone statue full of large cracks. However, these cracks do not affect the entire building.
Strength: The entire Dark Moon Palace was shrouded in a layer of iron-gray light mist. This should be some kind of magical effect that enhances protection or strengthens the strength of the building.
To be continued...
