The Abyssal Rift is located in the northeast direction of Stroop Forest, far away from the "natural dwelling", and the space disorder caused by the instability of the gap, so Lucian and the others did not take the risk of teleporting over, but flew in mid-air.
Looking at the dark green forest and sea below, listening to the endless sound of birdsong, Natasha suddenly had a heartbreak: "What is nature?"
It is one thing to know from various historical documents and classics that the elf will turn into a big tree after death, but it is another thing to witness it with her own eyes, so she sighed slightly.
"Yes, what is nature?" When Lucian repeated, his eyes were already on Malfurion and Rashiel.
What is nature?
Every elf and every druid has their own definition of nature in their hearts, whether it is hatred or balance, they all claim to be the guardians of nature, and it is precisely because the definitions and views on nature are different, so the "heart of nature" formed by the druids is not exactly the same, and the divine arts of the association are also different to a certain extent.
"Nature is the world, including plants, animals, humans and spirits that represent life, but also volcanoes, swamps, poisonous fog, etc., and then this series of things form an interlocking balance system, interdependent and mutually restrictive, once the balance is lost, nature will go to ruin, to destruction, and become a lifeless desolate place." Mafurio thought about it for a while, but still said his understanding of nature, balance and life are the core of his understanding.
Although Rashiel is not a nature hater, he doesn't like to discuss this issue with humans, and only emphasizes one point: "Nature must include life, otherwise the desert of life cannot be called nature."
Atlanta closed his eyes and smiled: "The abyss gap is almost here."
All five are legends, even if they deliberately slow down their flight speed to avoid sudden danger, it doesn't take long to reach the abyss gap.
In the center of the forest below, blood-stained dust enveloped a large area, and in the center you could see a large gap like a centipede, through which the pitted blood-colored plain on the opposite side was faintly exposed, and the strong smell of blood and killing aura permeated the surroundings.
And in the dust, a fairly prosperous town stood on the edge of the gap.
"Nameless Town"!
…………
In the long history of the stability of the Abyss Rift, the demons of nature killing and chaos have constantly attacked the chasm, impacting the seals and defenses of the elves, trying to truly descend on the main material world and turn this place into a place of destruction and disorder similar to the abyss.
For human adventurers, although demons are terrifying, all parts of their bodies are valuable materials, and it is a very good choice to be able to capture demons without entering the abyss.
After that, the great knights and sky knights found that this was an excellent battlefield to temper themselves, so they often traveled thousands of miles to experience - for high-level knights, unless their bloodline was indeed top-notch and their talents were outstanding, they could only rely on battles to find opportunities for breakthroughs.
In the case of a relatively stable situation on the mainland, it seems too dangerous to venture to places such as the Dark Mountains and the Dragon Swamp, and if you are not careful, you will encounter a level nine magical creature, and the gaps in the Stroop Forest limit the strength of the invading demons, so that high-level knights do not have to worry about encountering demon kings, dukes, etc., and can fight at the same level with peace of mind, so the town is becoming more and more prosperous, becoming one of the places with a very high density of high-level powerhouses, only inferior to Lance, Alinge, Rentat and other places.
However, battles of the same level are certainly not without danger, a sky knight and a high-level magician lost their lives here, and adventures below the high level often resulted in casualties, so the town was named "The Nameless":
"Either leave with a glorified name, or die here without a name!"
"Pale Blue Dragon" Mason looked at the wooden sign that had stood on the "Nameless Town" for hundreds of years, sighed heavily again, paced back and forth, looking at the sky covered by blood-colored dust, and said to himself anxiously: "When will I leave?"
The elves guarding the gap have always had an indifferent attitude towards the adventurers, but the actions of these people have indeed relieved their busyness, and they no longer have to worry about the demons who sneak through the gaps, so they turn a blind eye to the existence of Nameless Town.
The young brown-haired man next to Mason took out a cigar from the Kingdom of Briana, lit it, squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, and then spat out white circles under his eyes: "Big brother, don't worry, the elves won't let us leave until the problem of the gap is inexplicably widened."
"I feel like my lungs are full of sand and blood." Mason took a cigar from his friend Fred and used tobacco to relieve his mood, "You know, I agreed with my family to return for half a year before I came out, and now it's been more than two weeks.
Fred spat out a cigarette ring and smiled bitterly: "I knew I would have left early...... The elves are afraid that the news of the drastic changes in the Abyss Rift will be leaked to the Sea Clan, so they restrict us from entering or leaving.
"If the abyss crevices get out of control again......" As a level six Sky Knight, Mason couldn't help but be afraid when he thought of the situation at that time, the dense demon army like a tide, the terrifying and overwhelming demon kings and dukes, was a nightmare he would never forget, I don't know how many adventurers died under the attack of demons without causing a ripple, if it weren't for the "Night Master" Malfurio guarding here during that time, I am afraid that several of the Sky Knights would have fallen!
Hearing Mason's words, Fred couldn't help but shudder, thinking of the "Bloody King" with two heads and red scales, and his golden and cold pupils: "I hope the elves will call for reinforcements as soon as possible......"
"Elves are an arrogant race, and if they are not really unable to handle it on their own, they will never take the initiative to ask for help." Mason usually admired the arrogance of the elves, but at this time he hated it very much.
Speaking of this, he retracted his gaze and looked at the cigar that had burned most of the cigars in his hand: "It seems that something is wrong in the town......"
Fred's eyes narrowed slightly: "Well, it's a bit strange......"
…………
Lucian, Natasha, and Malfurion descended from their heights and approached the gap in the abyss, when two figures, one dark green and one brown, flew over from below and stopped in front of the five people.
"Three esteemed guests, thank you for coming to help." The brown figure is a tall, middle-aged human man holding a wooden staff engraved with a balance logo in his hand, none other than the "Balance Hand" Lodel.
At this height, the abyss behind the gap was already very clear, it was a plain stained red with blood, but strange white stones towered everywhere.
On the plain, except for a few plants covered with scales, only blood-colored soil and gravel were blown by the wind, and dust was raised all over the sky.
And in the sky, in a place obscured by dust, Lucian saw a pale sun, and under the bloody background, it was dyed with a strange blush.
It was all so bleak and bloody, full of depressing tones, as if killing and destruction were being promoted everywhere and everywhere.
"Great Elder." The dark green figure was a small lady the size of a head, she had dark green hair, strangely beautiful facial features, a slender figure, a faint green color at the tips of her fingers, and a pair of transparent cicada wings on her back, surrounded by a rich forest atmosphere.
She is a dryad, the "Guardian of Green", Celinda.
After greeting Malfurion, Celinda didn't speak anymore, for the dryads to destroy the humans who destroy the forest are unforgivable villains.
"Celinde, what is nature?" Ranhill suddenly spoke.
Celinder looked at Ranhill dissatisfiedly, as if she had a bad sense of the elf: "Nature is the green color that symbolizes life, allowing all living things to thrive, it is fragile and needs to be maintained together, and anything that destroys nature is our enemy."
Lanhill smiled and said, "Evans, what is nature? Do you have the answer to the question you ask us?"
Lucian glanced at him, although it was not clear what he wanted to do, but what was certain was that he definitely had his own plans, maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to achieve a certain goal by provoking conflicts?
Malfurio seemed a little absent-minded, and didn't stop Ranhill from asking, maybe he also wanted to know Lucian and Atlante's answers.
Lordel opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally fell silent.
Lucian smiled and pointed to the Bloody Plain: "Is this natural? There is a life like the devil, there is soil, there is wind, there is the sun......"
"This is polluted and destroyed nature, which is developing towards complete destruction." Celinder replied seriously.
Lucian shook his head: "The nature in my mind is a cycle."
"As long as the things contained can form a cycle of their own, from life to death, from death to life, it is nature, so swamps are nature, volcanic biosphere is nature, abyss is nature, hell is nature......"
Before Celinda and others refuted, Lucian continued: "Nature is strange, including thousands of things, and the nature we see and the nature we come into contact with are different, so the nature in our minds is a unique nature formed by combining our own experience and knowledge, and it is the nature we see from our own perspective, just like microscopic particles, we choose different observation methods, and the results we see are different.
"Therefore, my nature is the nature from the perspective of us humans, what can suit our development, what promotes our development, is good nature, and our purpose in cooperating with the protection of the environment is also very clear, that is, to create a better living environment for ourselves, not the other way around, in this regard, we are taking ourselves as the main body to understand nature, we are, and so are your elves!"
Malfurio and Celinda were about to speak when a roar full of killing and destruction suddenly sounded below, and a tidal army of demons emerged again, rushing towards the gap.
These demons have black scales and bat-like wings, all kinds of things, and what they have in common is that they are extremely ferocious.
"The Blood King has driven his demon army to attack again......" Seeing this, Lodel breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject.
Lucian looked at the scene in the gap, calculated the distance, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, his voice dragging on long and strangely:
"Eternal Blazing Sun!"
Rumble!
A scorching sun suddenly rose in the center of the bloody plain, and the terrifying heat could be clearly felt even through the gaps in space!
An unimaginable storm of energy swept around, and a white light overwhelmed everything.
Looking at the rolling strange mushroom clouds and the ever-changing gaps in the abyss, feeling the world-destroying power, Ranhill and Celinda were speechless.
No matter what you have in mind and what you want to do with us, it's best to weigh your own strength first!"
Lucian withdrew his right hand and inserted it into the pocket of his black double-breasted long dress.
