Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

In Salazar's hand, there is a broken map.

No one knows who actually drew this map.

But that was before leaving, Sherman Goldberg, the former great elder and now the director of the Padilla Council, personally stuffed it into Salazar's hands.

It is said that…

This map existed as early as the establishment of the city-state of Padilla, and then it was passed down from the hands of the great elders from generation to generation.

According to the markings on this map, the plain where they are now is called the Vernal Plain.

At this time, they have come to the end of this plain.

Werner…

In the slang of the lost land, it also has another layer of meaning "the one who defends the country and defends the state and resists the aggression".

The scene not far away obviously confirms the description in the map.

Because on both sides of the city and beyond, the otherwise flat terrain gradually became rough and undulating. If you look through the gray morning fog, you can even see the undulating mountains and the smoky mountains and forests.

The fortress-like city in front of him is like a majestic pass. The tiger is located at the junction between the two mountain ranges, lying on the only road leading to the southwest.

As the Idar's armored infantry vehicles approached, the outlines of the city walls became clearer.

through the window glass,

Looking at the dilapidated city wall in front of him, Major Arme Weasley finally issued a new order: "Enter the city!"

only…

After a while,

He seemed to think of something again and added:

"Just get in one car and let Rabbit-Tail wait outside, as does Salazar."

"The rest of the soldiers will come in with me and see."

heard,

The Idar soldiers present responded one after another.

But Salazar seemed a little at a loss:

"Why did you let me wait outside? I'll go in with you too!"

Major Amel Weasley replied:

"The situation in the city is not yet clear, but just looking at the battle outside the city walls, you know that a human tragedy has occurred."

"You are not an Idar soldier, but a guide. Now that your mission has been completed, there is no need to follow up and take risks."

Having said that,

But Salazar's eyes were extremely firm:

"Coming to the Seven Golden Cities is my lifelong long-cherished wish. Although there are some discrepancies between the Seven Golden Cities today and the rumors, since we have already arrived, I will definitely not stop here!"

Major Arme Weasley stared solemnly into his eyes and said calmly:

"Have you really figured it out? If you enter this city gate, you might not be able to get out!"

after all…

Even though they haven't found any trace of the mutants yet, within the city wall ahead, there have been several roars from the mutants.

"Think clearly!" Salazar nodded.

"Then go to town..."

The wheels rolled over the weeds that sprouted along the road and over the mutated corpses that had long been broken and blurred.

Most of the houses within the city walls have collapsed, and the roadside is full of broken walls and traces of fire, making the vehicles travel extremely slowly.

But even so, Amel Weasley was able to figure out the architectural style of the city with the remaining buildings.

That is... no style!

Yes,

The buildings in the city in front of them are almost all the simplest stone buildings without any style or decoration.

The residents who once lived here seem to have only one requirement for a house that is strong enough! Safe enough!

and…

Even a conservative estimate,

Almost half of these buildings are military buildings that can be used for both military and civilian purposes.

It's not so much a giant city in the inland of the Abandoned Land... Amel Weasley felt that it was more like a military fortress built for war!

After passing through the city gates piled with corpses,

The Idar soldier named Allgreen was already sticking out of the roof in full armor.

He replenished the magazine for the magic gun on the roof, loaded the chamber, and glanced around with vigilant eyes.

Although it may have been several years since this tragedy happened, the rancid smell in the city has not been alleviated in the slightest, but it is stronger than outside the city.

Even though he was wearing a mask, it made Allgreen, who was leaning out of the car, nauseous for a while.

The city is quiet.

Before entering the city, they could vaguely hear the roar of the mutants; but after passing through the city gate, they could only hear the engine sound of the armored vehicle they were riding in.

"You said... does that look like a mage tower?"

Sudden,

Major Amel Weasley in the cockpit pointed to a dilapidated steeple tower diagonally in front of him, and said in a deep voice.

"Maybe? Go and see?"

the driver asked uncertainly.

Major Amer took a deep look at the minaret diagonally ahead and said, "Forget it, don't worry about that, the core building is usually built in the center of the city."

However,

This time...

After all, Major Amel Weasley guessed wrong.

Located in the center of the city is not a building, but an empty square.

The corpses piled up here,

Obviously more than anywhere else in the city.

Looking at this situation, Major Amel Weasley ordered:

"Be careful, I'll go down and have a look first."

"I'm with you!" Upon seeing this, Salazar said quickly.

"Give him a gun."

"good!"

Perhaps because the square is relatively empty, although the number of corpses piled up here is the largest, the stench lingering in the air has become much lighter.

In the center of the square is a giant stone tablet about tens of meters long.

Around the square, there are many large and small stone monuments surrounding it.

Salazar crossed the ground step by step, which was already corrupted and turned into a corpse, and then came to the stone tablet closest to him...

"Kianos Thornton, 1147-1149, Guzapal."

"Ahmad Vichy, 1147-1163, Kilitso."

"Siboniso Wooda..."

"Amy McCullough..."

while thinking,

Major Amel Weasley had come over from behind, with a hint of surprise in his words:

"Are these people's names?"

Salazar did not speak, but nodded slightly silently.

"What's the meaning behind that? Guzapal? Kilitso?"

After a while,

I saw Sarah check out and say:

"Those are the names of the city-states..."

"The name of the city-state?"

Hearing this, Amel couldn't help but savor Salazar's words in his mind.

In this city deep in the Abandoned Land, saw a stone tablet engraved with the name of the city-state and the name of the person?

The first column is the person's name, and the third column is the city-state.

As for the second column, it's obviously the date,

only…

That date is not the date of birth, but the date of arrival in this city-state calculated according to the past calendar of the Abandoned Land!

For Amel Weasley, this operation is fairly familiar.

Because in today's Idar Principality, all soldiers who died on the battlefield will be buried near the Hanging Garden at the foot of the Armis Mountains, and stone tablets will be inscribed to pay homage.

so…

Are these erected stone tablets in front of them similar to what the Principality of Idar did?

While thinking about it, several people have slowly come to the monument in the middle of the square.

then…

Several people present were pleasantly surprised to find that…

Many questions, the moment they saw the stone tablet in front of them, suddenly became clear!

"Quick! Send a message to base camp! Immediately!"

If we say that the development of magic technology has laid the industrial foundation of the Principality of Idar.

Then, the research on Jing's divine power and the application of remote communication devices will allow the decrees and intelligence of the Principality of Idar to cross the barriers between mountains and seas, and travel thousands of miles away.

In less than half a day,

A message from the depths of the lost land,

After passing through the Padilla Army Base on the southwest coast of the Abandoned Land, it was transferred to the mainland of the Principality of Idar after several rounds. After being sorted out, it was presented to the table of the Duke of Idar, Bruno Stuart.

Many things have gradually become clear.

For example...

Why do the Seven Golden Cities exist?

What are the reasons for the strange appearance of the mutants during this period?

The stone tablet in the middle of the square engraved the reason for the existence of the city. It also confided to all bystanders, including Salazar, Amer and others, the efforts of the natives in the lost land. .

As Bruno once guessed...

seven golden cities,

Those seven cities in the depths of the Abandoned Land, of course, are not the ideal townships passed down by the local indigenous people orally, but the front line and the forefront of mankind's defense against mutants!

There is indeed an enchantment there,

but…

The so-called barrier is not to protect the city, but to seal the evil thoughts of the gods!

Yes,

As Bruenor once saw in Forgotten Past.mp4, mutants were conceived by the evil thoughts of the gods, so...

Seven cities, seven directions, and seven eye formations.

The mage towers standing in the city support a powerful enchantment shaped by magic.

Why is there almost no magic in the Forsaken Land?

Because almost all the magic power that can be used is used to support that enchantment!

And what was shrouded in that enchantment was the evil thoughts of the gods, and the abyss crater left behind after the earth-shattering explosion!

Once upon a time, the barrier of the magical structure still shrouded the place where the mutants were born, so that the number of mutants on the periphery of the abandoned land was always maintained within a limit that humans could bear.

Once upon a time, those brave adventurers who lived on the outskirts of the Forsaken Land still had a chance to reach the Seven Golden Cities.

They came from city-state after city-state,

or alone,

or go together,

Cross the vast plains, cross the mountains and rivers, become the warriors standing on the front line, and kill the mutants who are lucky enough to cross the barrier one after another.

Yes,

The barrier constructed by magic can seal the evil thoughts of gods, but it is not enough to block the footsteps of mutants.

Fortunately, these adventurers who came from afar, no matter where they were born or what age they were, all became residents of the Seven Golden Cities the moment they arrived here!

However…

I don't know since when, everything has changed.

According to the record on the stone tablet,

The founders of the Seven Golden Cities should know that the frequency and speed of the birth of mutants are closely related to the activity of the gods' remnants!

so…

When the barrier constructed by magic gradually becomes more and more fragile, when more and more mutants rush out of the enchantment...

These warriors standing on the walls of the Seven Golden Cities quickly realized an unlikely fact that the gods seemed to be slowly waking up?

The rulers of the Seven Golden Cities probably knew about the explosion that happened and the fall of the gods, but what they didn’t know was…

After the explosion, where did the broken body of the gods go?

therefore…

As the evil thoughts of the gods gradually became more active,

They can only watch helplessly as the number of mutants increases, watching the magic barrier that is hard to support become more and more fragile at a speed visible to the naked eye!

They also thought about sending warriors and messengers back to the edge of the lost land to remind those city-states.

However, when they realized that they should do this, the mutants everywhere made it difficult for them to step out of the city!

As for the finale...

Obviously,

The seven golden cities became seven ruins, UU reading www.uukanshu. The magic barrier that com once had no longer exists, and the countless mutants have finally lost their biggest obstacle on the way!

then…

The scale of the beast tide is getting bigger and bigger, the frequency of outbreaks is getting higher and higher, and even the violence and hatred in the eyes of the mutants... have gradually become more and more obvious.

"Major Alme Weasley, Lieutenant Salazar Knox, and the soldiers who went to explore together, probably all returned safely?"

Closing the extremely heavy report in his hand, Bruno couldn't help muttering to himself.

Although the information from the Abandoned Land only clarified the important information about the Seven Golden Cities in detail, the danger and difficulty of this trip can be seen from just a few words.

Although not mentioned in the report,

But…

How is it different from dancing on the tip of a knife while traversing a vast no-man’s land and dodging among countless mutant races?

"Don't worry, Your Excellency! Our Idar soldiers will never live up to your expectations! They will definitely be able to come back safely!"

"Prepare the Idar Hero Medal in advance, they deserve such an honor!"

"Let's do it now!" Mondale quickly bowed and replied.

Mundell is gone,

But Bruno's face gradually became cold.

The ancestors of the Seven Golden Cities did not know where the remnants of the gods were.

but…

Bruno knows it!

He is in the hands of the Church of Light, in the Ogure Desert!

so…

The source of all this is, after all, the wolfish ambition of the Church of Light!

"Church... dammit!"
