190. Paradise Lost?
Paradise Lost.
This term has always been a taboo term in many churches, and even in the Magic Guild, it seems a bit taboo and not mentioned lightly by magicians.
Basically, the outside world's understanding of Paradise Lost is the forbidden area of life, the playground of the dead, the root of sin, and many other extremely evil words. In fact, Paradise Lost is indeed not a good place, at least it is a place where living creatures dare not set foot lightly. It's just very subtle that creatures such as demonic beasts or ordinary beasts can feel the breath of Paradise Lost and avoid it in advance, but humans do not have this ability, but they will inexplicably fall into Paradise Lost, and then die in this kind of place, and their souls will be bound in Paradise Lost forever.
The soul can never rest in peace.
That's the real horror of Paradise Lost.
And even if it is a player, if you die in the Paradise Lost area, the death penalty will be extraordinarily severe: death will drop the rank directly, that is to say, once the eighth-order profession dies, it will directly become the seventh-order, and all the equipment and props carried with you will be dropped, in addition to this, the player will also fall into a weakened state for up to a month of playtime.
In fact, Sean did not enter Lost Land in the game, so naturally he never died in such a place. But there is such a huge intelligence agency as the forum, so I know more or less some information about Paradise Lost, and of course, there is still some lack of experience in such hearsay information. At least a lot of the information Sean doesn't know very well, or the other players are a little vague.
In addition to knowing what kind of existence Paradise Lost is roughly. And there will be undead creatures here, and nothing else is known.
After listening to Sean tell a little about Paradise Lost, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
But Heatley probably had heard the term Paradise Lost a long time ago. So there was no strange look on her face, but when Sean narrated, she added a little explanation, which really matched her identity as the chief saint of the Church of Life. It's just that this girl doesn't have any eyesight at all, but it's true, because after she added it, everyone's faces became even more ugly.
They didn't hear anything else. But they understood the term "army of the undead".
"So, if it's Paradise Lost. It's understandable why both little Heatley and Cecilia have lost their abilities. Sean sighed helplessly, and then made a final summary, "The shelter established by Hanas was originally forbidden to fight. So this place can also be considered the realm of the gods in a way. In such a place, it is naturally forbidden to have a qiē magic and divine power, after all, these will be dangerous to the mermaid clan. ”
"If this is really Paradise Lost, then how are we supposed to get out?" Harding's brow furrowed.
Although I don't know that Hanas was once called the King of Hades, the name of the Church of the Death is very loud even in the underworld. Because compared to the surface world, in the underground world that advocates bloody violence and the law of the jungle, death is the eternal theme, so the scale of the Church of Death in the underground world is much larger than that of the surface world, hence the name of Hanas, the god of death. Naturally, it is not a good symbol for the more peaceful subterranean inhabitants like Harding and Rottikabas.
At this time. After listening to Sean and Heatley's knowledge, Harding and Rottikabas's feelings were naturally very complicated.
If they could, they wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.
"But there's something strange about this Paradise Lost." Cecilia frowned as if she hadn't heard Harding's words, and then said with some confusion, "It stands to reason that a place like this shouldn't continue to exist...... But ......"
"But what?" Sean's understanding of "Paradise Lost" is only limited to the forum in the game, but there is still a big gap between the situation of the game and reality, and many places have changed, so Sean does not dare to say that he understands Paradise Lost 100%.
"Even if it is a god, it is essentially the embodiment of the law. But this place, there is no law, it is completely a dead place, like this...... Can it still be called Paradise Lost? Cecilia said with some confusion, "I remember that the predecessor of Paradise Lost was supposed to be the eternal sanctuary of Hanas, so this place should be protected by the power of Hanas. It is only when the power of Hanas gets out of control or is damaged by some special kind that these sanctuaries become Paradise Lost, but even so......"
"The rules are just being distorted, not completely disappearing." Sean added her unspoken words for Cecilia, "But here, it's a dead place, and even the rules ...... There is no zài anymore. ”
The atmosphere in the stadium fell silent for a while.
"And that's not all." Cecilia sighed, her face looking a little hesitant, but finally she spoke, "This place has the effect of disturbing perception. My perception has been completely disturbed, and I have now completely lost my sense of time......"
Hearing Cecilia's words, everyone's faces changed, and then they immediately closed their eyes and began to feel in silence.
Soon, everyone's face showed the same horror.
Because they also found that they had completely lost their sense of time.
As strong people, they have their own set of criteria for judging the flow of time, and they don't need to use tools such as the Guò Magic Hourglass or the Magic Watch to check it. But now, the way they are used to sensing and judging time is completely ineffective, so that they don't know the current point in time at all, and naturally there will be a lot of trouble, the most terrible of which is that it will accelerate the mental breakdown.
"Magic Watch ......"
"It's useless, it's stopped." Cecilia took out the magic pocket watch she had always carried with her, and opened it for everyone to see. Sure enough, the hands on it had stopped turning, and no matter how much Cecilia tried to infuse her magic, the watch would never continue to work.
See it here. Everyone also showed a burst of helplessness.
However, after the helplessness, no one felt hopeless because of this, especially after a brief period of uneasiness, everyone calmed down.
The immediate priority is to find a way out of here as much as possible.
According to the dragon skin magic book, the place to leave the Sacred Fish Courtyard is in the center of the garden of the main building in the back garden, as long as you can get there by the way. After all, there is a way to leave. After all, with Lancet's presence, he would probably be able to open the way out with his bloodline sense, after all, they had entered this place before Lancet had made it up. So logically, it's just a bit more troublesome at best.
"The loss of time may be relatively light, but if this situation continues, we may lose our sense of direction." Cecilia glanced at the crowd. Although I feel that I can't bear to say these words at this time to hit everyone. But she didn't want to wait for everyone to find out about this and feel more lost and broken, "To be honest, I feel a little disoriented now...... Do you remember where we came from? ”
In an instant, except for Sean and Cecilia, the other five people, including Harding and Rottikabas, completely pointed out the front and back, left and right. And when Sean saw this scene, he felt even more awe-inspiring in his heart, because he had already discovered it. Now they are facing a problem that is even more severe than he imagined.
With their strength, they naturally will not be afraid of any battle.
One could even say. In such a stressful environment, fighting can give them a better vent and not get into any mental illness. Anyway, as long as they can find the garden center of the main building, then they can leave here, plus Sean's storage ring has been stocked with food for several months, so there is no need to worry about starving to death here, after all, how big can a courtyard be?
But now, after their sense of direction and time are lost, then they will have a very strict cognitive impairment, and maybe even after they have been walking here for more than half a month, they will find that they have been going around in circles here. If they don't solve this problem, they will probably never find out where the garden center of the main building is, and they will starve to death here if they don't die of exhaustion.
And obviously, it's not just Sean who thinks of this, everyone else thinks of it too.
Everyone's face looked unusually ugly.
Except, Cecilia.
"Is there any solution to this?" Sean looked at Cecilia.
But helplessly, this time Cecilia shook her head: "I don't think this is a place of order anymore, but a bit like ...... Black earth. ”
"Impossible." Heatley shuddered when she heard the name of the black earth, "The black earth doesn't interfere with our perception and the flow of time. ”
Sean also looked at Cecilia with some confusion.
Black soil, he and Cecilia also ventured through it back then, and they brought a lot of people with them at that time. If the black soil can really make people lose their sense of direction and the speed of time, then he would not dare to lead a group of people through the Starfall Forest back then, after all, that place can be regarded as a lifeless danger for Sean and Cecilia at the beginning.
"According to the research of Maggie's Imperial Academy of Magic, as well as the records of the ancient magic texts I studied at the time, the black soil is actually divided into two kinds." Cecilia explained, "Hmm...... I may not be quite accurate to say that. Strictly speaking, the black soil should be called the Domain of Chaos, and no one knows whether this kind of place has the power of law, but just like there is light and darkness, the domain of chaos corresponds to the land of order. It's just that the Realm of Chaos has life, so it will continue to confuse the perception and time flow of the entrant until it devours and assimilates the entrant into a member of the land. ”
"The Black Soil ......"
"The black soil is the realm of chaos that has died." Cecilia spoke, "No one knows exactly how the Realm of Chaos came to be, but such a place is said to be alive, and when its life is gone, it will become what we now call the Black Earth, a real place of death. And as long as the flame of order is introduced, such a land can be returned to the ranks of order. 一qiē都restore fù normal. ”
"However, I'm starting to think now that it might have something to do with Hanas's powers." Cecilia hurriedly added again. "As the former lord god of this world, Hanas's strength is undoubted, and it is even said that he is worshipped by other dimensional worlds at the same time. However, in the order of the gods, he does not belong to the ranks of order, but he does not belong to the ranks of darkness, so it is very likely that he belongs to the third order......"
"Confusion." Heatley frowned, "But. The Third Divine Order is merely a hypothetical doctrine that has not yet been proven. ”
"However, none of us have seen the Realm of Chaos before. Even today's texts don't have any records, and I have only seen such a brief description in a very remote ancient text. Cecilia's authenticity as a magician was finally fully realized at this time, "And now where we are. According to that magic book. This is a sanctuary built by Hanas, and the birth of Paradise Lost was also caused by the loss of control of Hanas's clerical power, but now, in all respects, it is completely in line with the statement of the Realm of Chaos, can't this be regarded as evidence? ”
"It's different!" Heatley shook her head, Heatley had been unusually well-behaved along the way, so everyone was equally surprised that Heatley would show such a reasoned expression at this time. "None of us have ever been in Paradise Lost, and there is a story about Paradise Lost. We've all heard and concluded from other places, but maybe Paradise Lost also has the ability to disorient people and disrupt the flow of time? ”
"Since you also know the summary of Paradise Lost, then you should also know that anyone who mentions Paradise Lost is convinced of one thing, that is, Paradise Lost will still have laws to exist, not like now, all the laws that belong to the land of order are gone!"
"But this space is completely dead, isn't that what you said before?"
"This space is indeed dead to order, but maybe it is alive to chaos."
Heatley and Cecilia refused to budge at all, and they kept arguing, much to the headache of Harding, Rottikabas, and even Sean.
But to be honest, it's not that Sean can't understand the reason why Heatley is arguing.
As the nemesis of the goddess of life, Hades, or Hanas, the god of death today, is naturally unpopular. But the current problem is no longer a question of the opposition of the gods, but a question of the position of the gods, if we want to admit the existence of the third god order camp, then it is equivalent to making Heatley have to reshape his three views, and even break many traditional theological theories for this, which is the reason why Heatley argues.
Because according to the division of the three god order camps, once the existence of chaos is recognized, then the god of time, who is the eternal ally of the goddess of life, will be classified into the chaos camp. And chaos itself is eternally hostile to order, in other words, it is necessary to make the people of the Church of Life spit on the god of time, and may even trigger a war between the two churches that should be allies, which is the fundamental key.
Therefore, there is naturally a reason why Heatley is reluctant to admit the existence of the three god order camps.
Sighing helplessly, even if Sean wanted to dissuade this meaningless argument, he didn't know where to start.
But at this moment, there was a rustling sound, which attracted the attention of everyone except Heatley and Cecilia. However, as the sound became denser and louder, even the argument between Heatley and Cecilia had to stop, because a tingling sensation on their skin that left them naked in the air reminded everyone that this rustling sound was a deadly threat to them.
Under such circumstances, Citley and Cecilia had no intention of arguing.
Soon, everyone finally saw the source of the rustling sound.
That's a horde of ghouls!
I don't know where these ghouls came from, but according to the eyes of Sean and others, there must be at least hundreds. And when the hundreds of ghouls were densely piled together, and then like a wave of the ocean, they continued to climb towards everyone from afar, and the visual impact caused by Sean and the others still felt a burst of horror.
Ghouls aren't of a high level, and now Sheena can deal with two or three ghouls on her own.
As for Sean and the others, not to mention.
There are only a hundred ghouls, but it is not enough for Sean and the others to feel that their lives are threatened. However, the tingling sensation felt on the skin exposed to the air did not lessen by the appearance of the ghoul, but showed signs of intensification, indicating that the threat of death was getting closer and greater. To be able to make the powerhouses of the Golden Realm feel threatened, this is at least possible if the powerhouses of the same class take action, but how could ghouls, who are only third- or fourth-order undead creatures, make Sean and the others feel threatened.
However, when hundreds of ghouls finally appeared in everyone's sight, everyone finally knew what was causing them to feel threatened.
Behind the ghoul is a heavily armored knight with a halberd and a horse under his crotch.
The horse's four hooves burned with dark blue flames, and as it progressed, a path of blue flames erupted from the ground.
But what really palpitates is the knight's pupils.
There were two bright red flames burning like ghostly fires.
This is a Dread Knight! (To be continued......)
