After spending a night in the forest at the foot of Dragon's Spine - although compared with the passages in the mountain, sleeping in the woodland where water can be squeezed is very uncomfortable, but it is still happy for all .The man on duty last night found nothing to warn of, as birdsong rang through the forest, thick mist curled around the branches and leaves, dew glistened in every corner, and the sun, like any other day in the past, slowly rose.

People wake up and start the necessary preparations for the day.The stream flowing from the Dragon's Spine meanders through the forest, and the team's campsite is next to it. The women use clay pots or animal skin bags to draw water, collect some branches that are as dry as possible, and light up the fire. .The men approached the depths of the forest, searching for prey caught in the traps set the night before.Just last night, when the tired people fell into excitement, the magician, who was no less than them, seemed much calmer at this time. After being reminded by him, the men who convinced him were looking for the beast way in the night, using the dragon With some material left in the ridge tunnel, a ring of snares was placed around the camp.

The harvest was richer than expected, and the man brought back dozens of prey from the forest.This is due to the fact that they walked far enough last night, and this forest does not seem to be frequently visited by humans, and the traps are so slender and hidden, no matter whether they accidentally got their head in or were caught by their hind legs, they had to break free Come, unless they are willing to give up that part of the body.Of course, some escaped successfully, but along the dripping blood, people can also seize weak prey.

The thick smoke from the wet firewood just burning made people cry, but under the dexterous female operation, this problem gradually became less disturbing.The weapons originally held by men have also been borrowed by these women. The kitchen knife is undoubtedly the most popular, but the effect of the engineer shovel is also very good. The wisdom of life is better than any guidance. Even Yun Shen can't do better than them up.After the animal skin was peeled off, the cut pieces of meat were quickly thrown into the boiling water by the women, and all the bones were smashed and thrown in, so nothing wasted.The soup is tumbling, the aroma of meat permeates the air, and the slices of cooked meat are constantly floating and sinking. The adults can barely keep the appearance, but there are more children migrating with the adults. They are surrounded by every aroma. source, waiting eagerly.

The viscount watched the activities of these people, no matter how he felt about these aliens, the scene presented to him this morning was positive and energetic.Although he could be regarded as a precious prisoner anywhere, but apart from his guards, not many people paid attention to him, which made him much more comfortable.After being taken to a temporary public toilet dug in the forest to meet his physical needs, the Viscount returned to the bereaved family's territory and received his own share of food, which was exactly the same as the others.These people neither treated him favorably nor abused him.

Slowly drink the boiling hot broth - the Viscount noticed that there were leaves of some kind of plant floating in it, it seems that because of this, the fishy smell that meat often has is much milder than when it is grilled, in the history known to the Viscount Among them, the skills of the survivors are as famous as their other crafts.This is a nation full of mysterious traits, everything they have is different from most of the world, just like their black hair and black eyes, they are born with the marks of alien races.The Church and the Empire took a lot of effort to make them no longer threaten the original order of the world. The black-haired legionaries and emperors disappeared, but those smooth papers, gorgeous silks and beautiful porcelains also disappeared. To this day, people still can't find an equivalent substitute.Also gone is tea, this magical drink ingredient each worth a gold leaf of the same size, which mages call "the source of life," and which many apothecaries consider superior to any medicine produced by an alchemist, and nobles will Tea bricks are left as family heirlooms, and it turns out to be a better investment than land.

But when the beautiful capital known as "Tianhuan" was breached, the tea garden was the first to burn.The mage group moved quickly, but the bereaved were earlier than them. When the mages finally found this wonderful treasure, it had already been burned into a sea of ​​flames.The completely miscalculated mages were so angry that they almost destroyed the city all over again, but it did not help the regrettable reality.Those stubborn watchmen destroyed the tea garden so thoroughly that Emperor Gaslan sent his guards to wait in the ashes for 3 years, but they could not wait for a new leaf to revive. They came and then disappeared in the ashes. In the disputes among human beings, only the lingering fragrance of legends is left.

Coincidentally, when the viscount was reminiscing about history, the family member in his eyes was drinking tea.

I don't know if it was because of the sudden change in the environment, Yun Shen felt that something was wrong when he woke up, which is a common premonition of a cold.The Space-Time Management Bureau also adjusted his body when eliminating the time-space ray for him. Basically, no diseases would come to him again—except for colds.In the distant future, even though there are enough technological means to overcome various diseases, this troublesome little problem is selectively preserved. For those members of society who still retain their "human" bodies, colds The positive effect on the immune system is far better than those tedious and boring genetic modification.

But for Yun Shen now, it is better to avoid such a small trouble as a cold.After doing all possible precautions, he still felt a little bitter in his mouth. Fan Tianlan just brought hot water, so Yun Shen used a thermos to make a pot of Tieguanyin—the tea was a benefit from the company before, and he also shared it with him. The youth who has been paying attention to his physical condition shared half of it.

The two of them, who had no idea that they were brewing gold, finished their tea very normally.

The viscount, who didn't know anything about it, was called up and started to act together with the bereaved team.After leaving the secret path, all the tribes returned to their original group form. Although Patriarch Takla is still very interested in this Viscount, he is the only patriarch of his tribe after all, and he will not look more shameless than him That's how the younger brother took power.When the uninvited guest finally left, almost all the survivors sent him off with their eyes.

I smashed the stones engraved with magic patterns—a disposable communication tool that circulates in many areas of Central Continent. They are used in pairs. After one piece is broken, as long as the distance between them is within the design range, the other piece will undergo the same change. It is called an epoch-making invention that can be used even without talent talent——after notifying the Beastmen of their arrival in this way, the team set off again.After all, this is not the territory of the orcs, and it still belongs to Hermes legally.

For the cruel family that has always been above their heads, almost all tribes hold a kind of inertial fear. After discovering that they have gradually moved away from the huge blood-stained shadow of Hermes, no one wants to go back to the past.The world in front of them is so open, under an inexplicable encouragement, most people are full of confidence in the future.Even if winter is approaching day by day, as long as the land that will appear in front of them has half the resources here, they will be able to collect enough food to endure the cold winter, and when spring comes, everything will be fine.

This huge team meandered forward and gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest.Behind them, the Dragon's Spine still stands silently between the sky and the earth, pure, steep, and full of various secrets.The fog in the forest faded layer by layer in the sunlight, but the clouds gathered over the dragon's spine, engulfing the peak that pierced into the sky.

In the orc language, Dragon's Spine has another name, "Bone Claw".

How high is the dragon's back? A long time ago, a gentle dragon allowed humans to measure it.The unit they used at that time, converted to the standard of the earth, was 102.5 meters.No matter how powerful it is, the size of the dragon's body is barely within the acceptable range of biology.The Dragon's Spine got its name not because of its majesty or eye-catching milky yellow mountain, but when it was named, it happened to be an absolute height of 102.5 meters.

And since it was named, the history of this world has only moved forward for more than 500 years.

When some eccentric mage came to Dragon's Spine 200 years ago, entered its interior, and developed the first rock storage room, Dragon's Spine was only half as high as it was then.At that time, the secret passage into Dragon's Spine only took a few hours to pass.

More than 30 years ago, to be precise, 33 years ago, when the remaining elites of the Shadow Mercenary Corps and their successors entered the secret passage of Dragon's Back with something, Dragon's Back was already very impressive. Imposing.However, the secret passages inside it are not as complicated as today, and these assassins who entered Dragon's Spine for a certain purpose only need one day to pass through.If they hadn't insisted on entering the penalty area, the legend about them would not have ended so quickly.

Before today, what the last group of people who came before it encountered was a majestic and majestic existence like the king of the mountain. After entering the interior of Dragon's Spine, what they experienced was so complicated that it was almost impossible. The road conditions described, and the map that the bereaved family gathered through this secret road in the past, only show an insignificant part of it.But both they and the viscount are lucky, because these passages have not been completed, and they can still move forward according to their own goals.The earth worm they encountered on that collapsed section of the road was just one of dozens of workers who were sabotage. They were raised here by some people a long time ago, and they were driven in a certain way to survive hundreds of years. work for one purpose at a time.

So, is there a blueprint for this huge and inexplicable project?

Of course there is, and it's in Dragon's Spine.In the depths of the rock, below the collection room of the evil mage that was destroyed by those adventurers, there is a not-so-big room in a place that no Middle Continent mage has ever been to.The blueprint of this long project that has been built for at least 200 years is floating in the center of the room. Although it looks like a messy ball of thread, if someone observes carefully, he can find the hidden laws in these light and dark lines.

Lighted lines indicate completion, darker lines are still under construction.However, judging from the performance of this holographic map, it can be said that this project has completed at least 95% of its goals.Although the remaining parts, not to mention human beings, even with the efficiency of the earth worm, it will take quite a while to get through completely, but compared with the previous hundreds of years of accumulation, it is nothing.

Earth worms also have rocks as food, but the rise of a mountain requires many conditions in terms of geological common sense, and more importantly, it takes a long, long time, enough for human history to evolve over and over again.And to catalyze the process of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years into hundreds of years, the power required has obviously reached a terrifying level. I am afraid that throwing in all the radiant children of a certain country who are dying every day is not enough to see.And in this world of swords and magic, nuclear fusion power plants will appear at some point, so the only source of energy seems to be those beautiful floor tiles on the ground.

Magic stone.This beautiful mineral, which is enough to drive most mages in Central Continent insane, is spread on the ground like this, from one end to the other.The builders have no sense of being wasteful, not only using them as floor tiles, but also engraving various right angles and arcs on the perfectly cut mirror surface, turning them into a part of a complex figure that makes you dizzy when you look at it .Except for the technical geek mage who is passionate about geometry, there is another kind of person who can draw such a magic circle. 200 years ago, this kind of people briefly appeared on the Central Continent, causing a bad racial shadow.The extremely small number of Central Continents who survived after meeting them called them the "Demon Race".

But there is more than conspiracy and geometry in this room. Black human figures stand around in a certain order.Although the black hoods covered their hair, they didn't cover their black eyes either.Wearing it on the waist, the sharp blade made with a special technique still shines, and the black flame mark on the back of the left hand hanging by the side has not faded, although the reputation of this mark more than 30 years ago has died down.It's not that only black-haired people are favored. For example, in a corner of the room, there is a red-haired one, and his companion in black night clothes is brown-haired.

There is no sound, no wind, as if time does not exist here.These people stood here quietly, as if they were dead, but also as if they were waiting...the day when they woke up again.

The person who arranged this all those years ago is also waiting somewhere.It is worth noting that the peculiar mountain that flashed past in the space-time administration's data was not the Dragon's Spine. The same scene was distributed in other parts of the Central Continent, and it manifested differently due to different progress.

But there's plenty of time for those here before the inevitable moment arrives.
