Dawn of Another World

Chapter 6

"How about it?"

The dim light, which was completely different from the bright light on the other side, made Ling Xiao narrow his eyes uncomfortably.

In a small square space, the surrounding shelves are filled with all kinds of bottles and jars.On a stone table in the middle, pottery utensils of different sizes similar to earth flower pots were opening in front of Ling Xiao in a row.

"This is, sprouted?!"

Raising his head, a little unbelievable, Ling Xiao saw the blurred figure nodding his face covered by messy hair, and then turned his gaze back to the clay pots filled with reddish-brown soil. The dots of stars, the buds that sprout slightly, are indeed not his eyesight.

"Stipa stiphyllum, pansy, platycodon, iris..." Biting the hairband in his mouth, the pronunciation was a bit ambiguous, but the names of the plants he quickly read out were verbatim. The man lowered his head slightly, and casually grabbed his messy hair into a ponytail with both hands, "Here, those are cabbage, celery, and purslane."

Raising his chin, he gestured towards the pottery pot that was further away, and the man showed his face that can only be described as gorgeous - snow-white skin, thin eyebrows and long eyes, sand-colored pupils, and there is even a grain under the corner of his right eye. Small bright red tear mole.

Bearing the venerable title of the prophet of the giant wolf tribe, it completely overturned Ling Xiao's original imagination of the prophet with white hair and white beard, who was so old that he couldn't tell his age.Even in such a dim environment at this moment, wearing a crumpled and shabby robe, the other party still radiates light, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

"All of this?"

"Yeah, all of them."

Facing the man's horrifying smile, Ling Xiao just wanted to turn his head silently, well, it's better not to worry about whether it's scientific or not. In the past month or so, he has personally experienced too many things beyond his understanding. Knowing the limit is an unscientific thing.

Compared with the space cracks all over the ground, intelligent life with two forms of human and beast, a thin piece of talisman paper can start a fire and cook, etc., from the eyes of Thales who brought him here, collect those wildly growing plants Flower seeds, and the fact that these seeds germinated in the soil of Saofeng Plain at the same time is really not worth mentioning.

After all, these small and delicate things with stems and leaves stretched out, at least they didn't germinate and bloom in a cloud of air or some kind of burning flame for no reason, did they?

"I can do this step thanks to you, our messenger."

The man's eyes were slightly bent, and he smiled and called out the name that seemed to be a bit of a criticism.In the beginning, in order to let the orcs of Giant Wolf City accept Ling Xiao who came from another world as soon as possible, he casually revealed his identity without much careful consideration, but now it seems that he is walking on a long-predestined track, Step by step it came true.

"Master Prophet, I just..."

Ling Xiao didn't know how to answer the conversation, he felt that he didn't do anything.

The barren surface gravel soil of the Xiaofeng Plain was dug deeper. Although there were no precise instruments to detect it, the performance of the maroon soil in the deep layer made Ling Xiao, who had relevant professional knowledge, feel very close to the earth's soil.At the beginning, it was just a casual thought that he had a flash of inspiration, but facing the expression of the person in front of him at this time, Ling Xiao was a little speechless.

"Ling Xiao, you don't know."

Slowly shaking his head, as if he could see from Ling Xiao's expression, the giant wolf prophet who was thinking in his heart, propped up his body and leaned forward slightly, with a pair of light-colored eyes, as if quietly hiding a storm, so silent Staring at Ling Xiao, staring at the young man who descended from the eyes of the new and unknown Thales, as if it was a miracle itself——

"You don't know what these sprouts mean to Terra."

The plants in the eyes of Thales have never been recorded as being able to survive and grow outside.

For thousands of years, since the day of destruction, the Eye of Thales, which suddenly appeared and continues to this day, seems to be the last mercy of the Creator/World God, and it is also like a vicious curse.The residents of the mainland are increasingly dependent on these Thales eyes that come and disappear at any time.

Large tracts of barren wasteland appeared, rivers and lakes dried up, and the native animals and plants of Terra gradually withered and declined, and eventually disappeared.

One generation died, another was born, and the inhabitants of Terra lingered on the earth.Looking back thousands of years ago, the golden age of radiant magic and sword aura.But in the face of the cold reality, any words of reconstruction and revitalization are tantamount to idiotic dreams.

"Master Gigi."

He groaned and looked at the dignified expression of the other party. Although he had no hope at first, it was really exciting that all the plants he tried to plant had sprouted, but Ling Xiao, who was opposite the stone table, decided to tell the truth, "The situation may not be as expected. so optimistic."

"Oh?"

Calmly watching the giant wolf prophet who raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue, Ling Xiao slowly said: "Although the seeds can adapt to the soil here to germinate, the growth of plants requires a lot of water. If you want to plant it outside, the plain land...is too dry.”

When he was on Earth, as an expert in both landscape and horticulture, Ling Xiao knew very well that there were various constraints and contradictions between the harsh environment and plants.

"Isn't it okay to use the water source from the Eye of Water on the North Slope?"

Ling Xiao shook his head. He knew what the prophet Jiji said about the water cracks on the slopes not far from the north of the Giant Wolf City.

It is the same as the crack that brought him to Terra, where the plants on the earth grew. The crack group composed of several small water eyes in the north of the city also has no dangerous beasts. It just pours out from the center of the swirling light in the mid-air day and night. Fresh water that is safe to drink.

It is said that these fissure groups have existed stably for a long time, and the werewolves dug aqueducts to bring water into the city. It can be said that the entire giant wolf city was built because of the existence of this water source.

"The amount of water is only enough to maintain the normal life of the whole city. Maybe we can open up a small piece of land for planting, but it may not be possible to cover the entire Saofeng Plain on a large scale. However, we can try to see some of the resistant areas first. The dry variety..."

Perhaps because it touched the professional nerves that had been silent for a long time after coming to another world, Ling Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about various plans quickly, almost uncontrollably, and then had to overthrow them one by one.

Facing him who was frowning and thinking like this, Prophet Gigi could hardly help sighing.

I was still admiring the sprouting plants in the clay pots in front of me, but the simple and gentle young man on the opposite side had already started thinking about how to transform the whole wasteland practically and feasiblely!

People who have created a miracle without knowing it, continue to think about how to make the next miracle, really——

"I don't know what to say about you..."

The plants in the eyes of Thales have never been recorded as being able to survive and grow outside.In the eyes of Thales, the sudden appearance of such an anomaly as Ling Xiao is also unique.

The way of heaven is impermanent, and the wishes of the gods are difficult to see through.

Ruler of the world, embodiment of nature, Thales the lord of light, where will you guide this young man?

Sighing in a low voice, barely suppressing the unceasing ups and downs of emotions in his chest, the snow-white and gorgeous face of the giant wolf prophet finally smiled sincerely this time.

"Come on, come on—"

Walking around to Ling Xiao, who was still thinking hard, his tone returned to the casual casualness of the past. The prophet Jiji pulled Ling Xiao past him, and stuffed pots of sprouting plants into his arms.

"Didn't it mean that it sprouted, so it should be moved to a brighter place? Move it quickly."

"okay……"

The pots of plants handed over made Ling Xiao a little flustered, and it wasn't until he couldn't fit them in his arms that the prophet Jiji pulled him back to the outside room.After going back and forth like this several times, Ling Xiao finally moved out all the clay pots in the middle, and placed them under the skylight of the tent, on the rocky ground that had been cleared and opened up.

"Here." Leaving Ling Xiao alone as a porter early in the morning, he turned around and dived into the sea of ​​ancient books and books, and the prophet of the giant wolf clan who had disappeared for a while finally held a few pan Huang's thick tome appeared with a smile on his face.

"This is the illustration book about the plants on Terra Continent that you were looking for last time. I can only find these here. If the Northern Sage's Spire has not fallen..."

Ling Xiao, who was taking the book and flipping through it carefully, raised his head in surprise when he heard the words, "The sage's steeple, is it the one that was overturned due to the great destruction thousands of years ago?"

"Well, the disaster was recorded in the diary last time."

Nodding his head as affirmation, the raised sand-colored pupils were full of regret and reminiscence - the majestic and inviolable figure of the towering tower towering into the sky, countless people dreamed of it, and spent their whole lives looking forward to stepping into it. place...

"There, it was once the residence of the sages who were revered as saints by the elegant people of the song rain forest. It is the holy place in the hearts of all mainland magicians."

"Magic... holy land...?"

"Yes, magic."

On the Prophet's beautiful face, the expression could not be described as sad or happy, but it just made people feel heavy in their hearts.

"It's not something weak like burning a flame with a magic talisman."

It is the real magic that destroys and burns a city-state with a single incantation, or saves thousands of people from fire and water with a low chant.

"This continent of Terra has had magic since ancient times. No one knows why. Even if there were legends, records, and poems from eons ago, they have long since been annihilated. Although there are also those who temper their physical strength for self-improvement Warriors, in Terra, magicians who communicate and guide all things in nature with spiritual power will always occupy the dominance of the continent.”

In addition to the initial entry-level apprentices of warriors and magicians, various academies on the mainland used to have very detailed stage classifications according to the strength of their mental strength or the limit of their physical strength.

The levels of magicians include magician, great magician, magister, and great magister; and warriors also have their own different levels. From shallow to deep, they are warriors, berserkers, epee walkers, and storm sword masters.

Above the great magister and the sword master, there are two legendary ranks such as the sage and the war lord, which already have their own realm and are infinitely close to the height of a god.

"Sages and war lords, there are only a handful of records that have been recorded for tens of millions of years. However, in Terra 1000 years ago, two appeared in the north and south of the continent at the same time! The great sage in the Northern Songyu Forest, and the southern Shining Hills Warlords of Striaides—”

It was really a carnival of swords and magic, the pinnacle of shining gold!

Behind the two superstars exuding fiery brilliance, countless mages and warriors, looking up at their dazzling halos, followed closely behind.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two people that the tension between the north and the south of the mainland has always been maintained under an extremely delicate balance.

"Ling Xiao."

With downcast eyes, the black-haired young man who had been quietly and earnestly listening to his narration happened to raise his head at this moment.With a forced smile, the Prophet Jiji took his hand, and the two came to the spacious and bright entrance of the tent, "Did you see that? That keel cliff—"

Even at such a long distance, across most of the Saofeng Plain, Ling Xiao could still vaguely see the outline of the cliff through the clouds in the direction where the giant wolf prophet raised his finger.The black mountain range, like a giant sleeping beast, spanned the entire continent of Terra from west to east.

"Before this cliff bulge completely separated the north and the south, there used to be the largest river in Terra-Belzothgar, which means the river of life. It originates from the Thunder Ridge west of the Pain Highlands, and countless branches flow through the continent. The whole territory finally merges into the Sea of ​​Sighs in the Far East."

To the north of the magnificent river of life, most of the Tiwa orcs, Aseans, and Tuyas who advocate freedom live. The Alliance of Light formed by them occupies the vast northern territory.In the south of Belzoska, it is ruled by the Balsasol merchants who live in the Sea of ​​Sighs, and the colossal Central Plains royal family, the Aike family.Power and money, the product of the combination of the two - the Holy Federation, has had a long-standing antagonistic relationship with the Northern Alliance.

The conflicts and struggles between the two forces have never ceased since ancient times.

They regard each other as enemies, and the layers of resentment accumulate deeper and deeper.Under a series of unexpected events and changes, the brilliance and strength of a single individual can no longer hold back the turbulent tide of the times, and the Millennium War finally broke out without any suspense.

"Ironically, this war of unprecedented scale had not lasted long before the cataclysmic devastation befell Terra."

Meteorites are falling, and the sky is dark.

Tens of thousands of elite mage fighters from the Alliance and the Federation faced off on the ground and air in the north and south of the River of Life.

A moment ago, the colorful flares of sword energy and magic were still blooming in the air, but in the blink of an eye, the river of life under his feet began to boil and roll.Hot magma erupted from the bottom of the river, and the land in front of and behind him began to crack and tremble endlessly.And in the sky, countless red meteors with burning long tails smashed to the ground like a rainstorm!

It was a hellishly hopeless sight.

The dragon screamed and fell.

The magicians who lost their rides were tumbling in panic.Numerous defensive shields, rebound barriers, and time blockades were cast. Together with the epee shields that the armored warriors are proud of, they have almost no resistance under the violent and out-of-control force of nature. was quickly disintegrated.

Amidst the roaring and huge earthquakes resounding through the earth, under the blood and flames that filled the sky, the keel cliff was unstoppable and finally rose.

After this battle, more than half of the warriors and mages in Terra Continent were buried here.

"And after despair, there is still deeper despair."

As if it was a divine condemnation to all beings on the mainland who were becoming more and more arrogant due to the development of power to the extreme, countless Thales eyes began to descend on the scorched earth and ruins that had not yet faded from the scorching heat. Unheard of dangerous poison beasts, from the opened Eye of Thales to Terra——

Another feast of despair.

In just seven days, the once peaceful and peaceful village and manor had turned into a dead place, and even the golden sanctuary Strides and the Sage's Spire had both fallen into the demon's lair.It took almost decades for the Confederation Federation, which had been fighting endlessly, to barely stabilize the situation.The next thousand years will be a long and indefinite road to revival.

"Even in today's situation, we have to be thankful for the blank period that occurred after the Eye of Thales exploded."

"During that brief but crucial ten-year period, no new Eye of Thales appeared in the entire continent. This gave Terra humans, who were already on the brink of destruction, a respite and gradually rested recover."

"Do you know, Ling Xiao?"

The books in his arms were extremely heavy, and Ling Xiao still hadn't recovered from the years of blood and glory.The shining sand-colored pupils of the giant wolf prophet's eyes were like two deep pools of magic power, tightly grasping Ling Xiao's heart.

The voice sounded close to my ears, but it seemed to come from a long time ago after so many years, it was incomparably empty and vicissitudes.

"Perhaps thousands of years ago, when Terra was at its peak and glory, it could give you the correct guidance and direction."

"As for you who have traveled through the long galaxy and came to this land from the Eye of Thales, you need to explore and pursue everything by yourself."

who are you?

Why did you come here?

Where is your home?

In the end, you have to rely on your own strength to overcome difficulties, dig and find.

At last the dawn--

"May Thales, the embodiment of brilliance and nature, bless you, Ling Xiao."

The author has something to say:
