Master of Thermodynamics

In the bright morning light, Renault and others gradually approached the Black Witch Swamp. At this time, the air was filled with the smell of water vapor. In addition, there was also a faint fishy smell, which came from the mud and plants in the swamp. .

After climbing to the top of a low hill, Renault finally saw the Black Witch Pond. After just one glance, he was completely shocked.

He saw the endless sea of ​​grass!

Yes, this is a boundless sea of ​​grass that is as vast as the sea!

The swamp is filled with all kinds of plants, and the green grass stretches to the extremely distant sky. As far as the eye can see, the whole world seems to be cut in half, half blue and half green.

Looking at this spectacular scene, Renault felt his heart suddenly enlightened, and for the first time he had the idea that traveling through is worth it. If he had not come to this world, he would never have been able to appreciate this incomparably magnificent beauty.

Although the Black Witch Pond looks like a grassland, if someone really treats it as a grassland, he will definitely die miserably.

Because there are countless mud pits under this grassland, many of which are even bottomless.

This is only the outer area of ​​the swamp. If you enter the depths of the Black Witch Swamp, you will see many lakes, and between the lakes are dangerous mud areas.

These lakes vary in size. The smallest lakes are only a few hundred meters long, while the length of large lakes is more than several kilometers. Moreover, the location of many lakes is not fixed. Sometimes after a heavy rain, many new lakes will appear in the swamp. Many lakes will disappear.

The closer to the downstream of the swamp, the larger the area of ​​the lake. In the area close to the bay, there are even giant lakes with a length of more than dozens of kilometers. Their positions are relatively stable and will not change easily.

In addition, regarding the name of Black Witch Water Marsh, Renault also heard an interesting little story from Goode.

Hundreds of years ago, when the Church of God the Father was at its peak, it launched a massive trial of dark wizards. This trial lasted for decades. Many dark wizards were forced to flee into the This huge swampy area.

As the number of dark wizards in the swamp increased, the swamp gradually became known as the Black Witch Swamp.

When the number of dark wizards was at its highest, the number once exceeded several hundred. In order to fight against the divine warriors, they even established a dark wizard organization, and the two sides competed for more than ten years.

Unfortunately, the dark wizard organization was defeated in the end, and most of the dark wizards either died in battle or were captured by the church and burned alive.

After the trial, the name of Black Witch Water Marsh continued, but its original name was gradually forgotten.

In these legends, black wizards are very evil, and everyone is proficient in vicious black magic. Black clouds fill the air with every move, and one blow can easily kill hundreds of people.

In order to study black magic and gain powerful power, they frequently massacre innocent civilians, and it is not uncommon for them to even massacre villages.

However, Renault scoffed at such nonsense rumors. He speculated that the so-called black magic was probably just some kind of unique curse, which was essentially a way of utilizing magic energy.

In addition, the gangs of God Father Church are all unprofitable and will never get into trouble with dark wizards for no reason. Therefore, there is probably a hidden reason behind the Black Wizard Trial.

The real reason is probably that the church deliberately stigmatized dark wizards and their methods of practicing magic in order to gain the upper hand in public opinion.

At this time, the rainy Moon of the First Rain and the Moon of Fire have passed. The water level in the Black Witch Swamp has dropped significantly, and large mudflats have appeared on the edge. The closer to the Black Witch Swamp, the stronger the fishy smell in the air.

After approaching the Black Witch Pond, Renault also saw all kinds of strange plants.

Moreover, these plants are divided into different levels like the plant community in the black forest, forming a unique ecosystem.

of all plants,

Renault only recognized a plant called long-tailed reed, because the characteristics of long-tailed reed are too obvious. Its leaves are like long bird tail feathers, and the patterns on them are extremely delicate.

When the breeze blows, the leaves of the long-tailed reed sway in the wind, which looks quite beautiful.

Everyone trekked along the Black Witch Swamp for three days and encountered more than a dozen villages on the way, but all of them were dead silent, with dilapidated buildings and not a single person in sight.

Several villages were even burned to the ground, and only the black ground and incompletely burned ruins could be seen, and without exception, more or less bones could be seen in the ruins.

In other words, large-scale cannibalism has occurred in every village.

Along the way, you can see phosphorus fire almost every night. Behind each phosphorus fire, there is a wailing soul.

While sleeping in a village with a particularly large number of bones, Renault even saw phosphorus fires all over the mountains and plains. This scene was really shocking.

Renault deeply understood what it means to have white bones exposed in the wild and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles. If he hadn't often seen some wild animals, he might have felt that this area had become a ghost paradise.

As time goes by, everyone's mood becomes heavier and heavier, and the atmosphere in the team becomes lower and lower. Anyone who sees the human world being destroyed into such a miserable state will not feel good.

Deep down in their hearts, everyone is increasingly worried, not only about their own future, but also about the fate of the human race.

Nowadays, the black bastards have occupied the four major human kingdoms on the Glow Continent and have obtained a large amount of resources. With the ability of these bastards to explode the population, their strength will definitely become stronger and stronger, and their war potential will also become greater and greater.

However, human beings have lost a lot of blood in the continuous tragic defeats, and the strength of the entire race has become weaker and weaker. With one ebb and flow, the future of human beings is simply despairing.

Good was worthy of being a veteran with rich travel experience, and he was very experienced in arranging the itinerary. When the sun dropped to the horizon, everyone happened to see Green Marsh Town in the distance.

This also means that they don't have to sleep in the wild tonight. They can find a residential house in the town that is sheltered from the wind and rain, and have a good night's rest there.

Under the bloody sunset in the sky, the walls of the town and the surface of the castle in the center of the town were also stained with blood, looking as if they were covered in blood.

The city walls and castle looked relatively complete. It was obvious that the Black Orcs did not cause much damage when they plundered Green Swamp Town.

The nobles of this world also have the habit of building castles. The role of castles is the same as that of the Middle Ages on Earth, which is to protect their territory. When most castles are built, they will choose strategic locations and will not be built next to residential areas.

The same was true for the castle in Green Marsh Town. However, as time went by, a large number of residential buildings appeared around the castle, gradually forming the prototype of a small town. So the local lord simply expanded it into a small town and built a wall around the town. .

For ordinary lords, this type of expansion project is quite large and consumes staggering financial resources. It often requires the continuous efforts of several generations of lords.

Unfortunately, with the invasion of the Black Orcs, the hard work of several generations was wasted. The town that originally symbolized the glory of the family eventually became the spoils of the Black Orcs.

It is foreseeable that once the Black Orc tribe from the north moves south in large numbers, Green Swamp Town will definitely become the territory of a certain tribe, and the castle in the center of the town will also welcome a new owner with green faces and fangs.

When they traveled 3 or 4 kilometers away from the town, everyone discovered something surprising. There were many patrolling figures on the walls of the town!

Everyone immediately hid in the deeper grass, with looks of surprise on their faces.

Angela carefully glanced at the town in the distance, and couldn't help but ask: Are the people on the city wall a black orc army?
