Fire source.

Rhode raised his head and looked at the round tower in front of him. From the outside, this tower looked more like the high-rise buildings on the earth that were two or three hundred stories high at every turn. The thick crystal glass plates on the exterior wall reflected the light of the fire and emitted a faint golden light. The green vines climbed the entire exterior wall, which reminded Rhodes of the scene after watching the destruction of the city in the apocalyptic movies on the earth... Well, I have to admit that people

The beautiful scenery produced by the interweaving of civilization and nature is indeed moving. Looking around, you can see the blue sky in the distance forming a distinct barrier, blocking the invasion of chaos like a floating glass wall. This is the power of the fire source, which is different from the power of order in the shelter that can survive. Even if the fire source has become so weak now, the raging chaos still cannot pass through this perfect order barrier.

Under chaos, order lasts forever.

"Keep vigilant, but not to do anything randomly, I don't want them to think we are hostile."

"them?"

Hearing Rhode's words, Lijie looked at the tall building in front of her curiously. Rhode shrugged, nodded and answered.

"Yes, if my memory is correct, there should be people living in it. However, unlike those people in the shelter, they are protected by fire sources and should not become that way..." As he said, Rod looked at the bell behind him, waved his hand, and skipped this paragraph, but even if he didn't say it, those who had been to the shelter with Rod also understood what he meant. "...... But, I think you can see that the people here have been isolated from the world for hundreds or thousands of years. It is very likely that this is the first time we have come here, and this is their territory. I

We need the help of each other. So no matter what happens, as long as it does not endanger life, don't fight back or fight back. Did you hear that? And don't underestimate those guys. Although closed, because of the closure, they are currently a clan on the continent who mastered the combat skills of the first generation of Light Continents a thousand years ago. It is not just luck to survive in such a place. In short, before I say I can do anything, maybe everything here will surprise and exaggerate you. But you just need to know that the time they are in is still strictly the same as the one from the 1000 years ago."

"Yes, sir."

Hearing this, everyone behind Rhodes reacted immediately, but they were also full of curiosity. Hundreds and thousands of years, if calculated according to Rhodes' words, then the people here had lived here before Moon was founded. Faced with such an existence, many people were full of curiosity. No one noticed that Marin, who was standing not far behind Rhodes, looked at the tower in front of him with a complicated expression. The girl reached into her arms, held a somewhat old badge, and then sighed indifferently.

Sure enough, did you come here in the end?

After giving instructions to everyone, Rhode turned his head and looked at the door blocked by heavy stone slabs in front of him and took a breath. Then he walked slowly forward, but Rhode only took two steps and suddenly a light of arrow flashed and shot at Rhode's feet. At the same time, a strange, low voice came.

“……………Who………Where are you……from?”

Although the language spoken by this voice is very different from the common language spoken by everyone now, they are not completely incomprehensible. When they heard someone talking, everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked around with vigilance. However, because Rhodes said first, they did not make too fierce defense measures.

Rod looked at the arrow that was left on the ground, trembling and trembling, and took a step forward. He raised his head and looked at the dark tower in front of him. Although there seemed to be no people there, Rod knew very well that what he wanted to show at this time was his sincerity. Although he told his subordinates that the disabled people here would not be as dangerous as the madman in the shelter, Rod also knew very well that because of the years of isolation, the values ​​of people in this place were completely different from those outside. Just like Dongfangshanhara, the people living inside and the people outside had completely different views on many things. That was not really isolated from the world, but here was 100% isolated from the outside, so many places and outside were likely to be completely opposite. Even looking at the outsiders

There is no human nature. For example, when players were opening up the land, they encountered such a thing in a fire source. The residents there had a special custom, that is, if the child was born was a male and had a disability, they would be killed directly and used as fertilizer or livestock food. If a disabled woman was raised, she would be used as a fertility machine after she was raised, because the gathering place of the fire source was completely isolated from the outside world. If offspring could not be nurtured, the protection of the fire source would completely decline or even be cut off. Therefore, in such places, sometimes a woman would be pregnant with several men's children at all. Not only that, people like some gathering sites would be directly executed or driven out of the gathering place after they were old to avoid wasting food and water.

However, it is obvious that this kind of thing is not only unbearable by NPC, but players also expressed their unacceptance. Since Dragon Soul Continent is a game for the entire age group, many feminist organizations, children's rights protection organizations, etc. have jointly protested against developers online, believing that this too cruel and curious portrayal is harmful to the physical and mental health of children, and its three views are not correct, and it is too anti-human and anti-social. In the end, the developer made modifications to it under the pressure of public opinion, but it only harmoniously relies on the things that were obviously on the table. For example, in the past, players would have seen the other party drive the elderly and weak people out of the fire source or kill them directly. Now it has been changed to being taken away. Then, if the player observes carefully, he will find a relatively obscure setting such as flesh and blood in the beast bar a few days later. Although the players still protested, the developer was obviously too lazy to care about such trivial matters, and in the end he could only leave it alone - anyway, this situation is not the first time for this game.

This is the benefit of monopoly.

Thinking of this, Rhode shook his head helplessly. At the beginning, the Dragon Soul Continent was very popular on Earth, and it took almost less than a year and a half to defeat other online games. Although other companies have not thought about making virtual live online games, this core technology is entirely owned by developers of Dragon Soul Continent. It has never been released to the public. Of course, there is no country that punishes it in accordance with the Anti-monopoly Law, but the other party is still unmoved. In addition, the virtual live technology is too tempting for humans. In the end, countries can only turn a blind eye to this game. Even if it causes some social impact, it is mostly to comfort it. Fortunately, the controversial topics created by Dragon Soul Continent are mostly about game content, and they have never committed any high-pressure situations such as fraud of overbearing clauses on players.

Forget it, I put this aside in advance. Although I don’t know whether the fire source gathering place is normal or anti-human, I must go in. I just hope that they will not make some anti-human actions in front of Lijie, Marlene and others, such as taking out the baby and selling it to eat meat... If Anne sees this, I may only consider the purging. I am afraid that even he can’t stand it. Rhodes did not tell others about the abnormal situation that the guardian of the fire source is likely to occur. First, he cannot explain it. Second, not every fire source is anti-human. Like the fire source gathering place that Rhodes had opened before, it is like this. Although the people there are a little rigid, they are not much different from ordinary people in terms of values. If they have preconceived ideas, then they may become vigilant and hostile.

"Guardians of the Fire Source."

Thinking of this, Rhodes calmed down and spoke.

"We are people from the land of order, and follow the guidance of our ancestors, we come to awaken the source of sleeping fire. I hope you can open the door and let us enter the road to the ultimate order!"

“……………………………”

A silence.

After Rhode finished speaking, there was no sound in the tower in front of him, but Rhode did not say anything more. After all, they are people of the same order. Since they are responsible for protecting the source of fire, there is nothing wrong with careful observation of outsiders.

But... this time is a bit too long.

Rhode looked at the tower in front of him with a gloomy face, took out the pocket watch in his hand and looked at it. It had been an hour and a half since he spoke. But the other party did not even respond at all. He was not planning to contact him at all? Or was he investigating carefully? Thinking of this, Rhode began to look around in boredom, but soon, he set his eyes on the closed stone door in front of him. There was a gorgeous, blooming flower pattern carved on it, which looked like a badge mark. However, as time passed, the pattern on the stone door had disappeared. But for some reason, Rhode always felt that he had seen this mark somewhere...

"Let me do it, Rhodes."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came out from behind Rhodes, interrupting his thoughts. This made Rhodes raise his brows. He turned his head and saw Marin slowly walking out of the crowd. She looked at the tower in front of her with a serious expression. After a moment of silence, Marin suddenly reached into her arms, and then she took out a badge that looked very ancient and raised it high.

The dazzling, bright magical brilliance appeared in the air, quickly interlacing to form a brand new pattern, which was a metal scepter and a blooming lily.

“Announcement—!”

Marlene's voice seemed extremely crisp and high at this moment.

"In the name of the principles of all things, I, Marlene Shania, here, under the void, ask you to open the door and pave the way to order for us. Guardian of the Source of Fire, under the glory of the Shania family, it is time for you to complete your long-lasting mission and end all this. Here the pointer of truth and the gear of rules return to fulfill the long-standing wish of our ancestors! Restore the glory and glory of the past!"

As Marine spoke, the badge in her hand suddenly began to tremble. Then, golden magical light continued to appear on the tower in front of her. Then, the badge in Marine's hand suddenly turned into a dazzling light, and the next moment, a strange staff appeared in her hand.

It was a staff that looked full of technology style. The metal brass staff was nearly two meters long, and at the top of the staff, it was not inlaid with gems like the staff of many mages. On the contrary, three huge gears bit each other and rotated slowly. Below, various mechanical components were constantly moving, steam shot out from the vent holes, emitting white smoke. Not only that, above the staff, there were three golden apertures surrounding it. Even if you just look from a distance, you could feel the abundant and powerful magic power in it.

Then, Marin held the staff tightly with her right hand and paused heavily on the ground. As Marin's movements, suddenly, a huge golden magic circle appeared beside her and slowly turned. In the four corners of this magic circle, the light spots representing the four elements of Feng Shui and Fire and Earth also emitted a bright and dazzling light.

"The door to fate has been opened. Guardians, it's time for you to fulfill your responsibilities!"

Marlene's voice fell, and the surroundings returned to peace again, but at this moment, everyone, including Anne and Lijie Christie, looked at Marlene in surprise. Not only them, but even Rhode rarely showed a surprised expression at this time. Although he knew that Marlene had to take the initiative to follow him into the Chaos Land this time, he did not expect that Marlene would have something to do with the guardians of these fire sources--No, judging from her words just now, it should be said that the Shania clan and the guardians of the fire sources!

This was really beyond Rhode's expectations. He has always regarded the Shania clan as the most magical technology family in the Duchy of Moon, but that's all. There has never been any rumors that the Shania clan would have anything to do with the original magical technology civilization of the ancient times. For Marin, it was more of a gathering on her special physique of four elements and the mercenary group that was all female. As for this life experience, few people have explored it. But now, the only thing Rhode wants to complain about is... What a weird super expansion!

Finally, at this moment, various sounds came from the tower that had been silent.

"That staff is the Watcher clan! It is the Watcher clan back!"

"Is that the Holy Witch?!"

"Open the door, open it quickly!!"

Accompanied by the shouting, the thick closed stone door gradually opened. Seeing the scene in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. Although he had already prepared himself, the holy soul was above, and the different treatment was still unbearable... But before that, Rhode had another very important question to ask Marlene.

"Malin, you..."

"I know what you want to ask, Rhodes."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Marlene smiled slightly and then interrupted Rhode's speech.

"That's right, as you think, the Shania clan has had a deep connection with the guardian of the fire source since a long time ago. If you want to ask the reason... it is actually very simple." As he said this, Marin paused for a moment, then quietly raised her head and stared at Rhodes. "Because on this continent, the original fire source was created by our Shania clan after inheriting the skills of the Creation Dragon Soul."

"How is this possible!?"

Hearing this, Rhodes' first reaction was that this was unscientific. Indeed, the fire source is the only skill that can protect and open up a land of order. However, this technology had lost its inheritance a thousand years ago. Moreover, if the Shania family really had such magic technology strength, then they could build a country with complete magic technology, and they would not be even worse than Belhems in the technological level! The magic technology of the Shania family, to be honest, although Rhodes saw the skin, judging from the war in the Night Kingdom in the game, the Shania family would not have fallen to this level. If they could even master the fire source of Creation, then spread it

They should be able to create the rainbow light fantasy that can destroy the world. It was said to be the only super artifact that can damage the soul of the Creation with a mortal body. However, the Shania clan was completely destroyed in the battle of the Night Kingdom invading Moon, and Marin herself exploded and died. Rhode still knew this. From this perspective, it would be too unscientific to say that the Shania clan mastered some black technology. It was like in the movie of aliens invading the earth, a country was destroyed. Then after traveling over, he was told that the country had super-equivalent technology that could create a shot to destroy the entire star. It was too strange to think about this kind of thing?

"It's true, Rhodes."

Marlene held the metal staff and looked at the man in front of her intently. Then, she smiled slightly.

"I have always believed that you can come here. Your choice has proved that my judgment is correct. Rhodes, you will eventually open this ancient fire again and sprinkle the glory of order again throughout this land. And I will always be by your side as a watchman..."

Speaking of this, Marin stopped. She did not continue to say it, but buried the last sentence deep in her heart.

“……… until the last moment comes.” (To be continued...)
