It was a legendary creature.
At least, in many … pipeline civilizations, it was a legend.
It had many names. In the nearby civilizations, it was known as' Star Gathering '. That was because it would fly out of the pipeline, gather starlight, and then fly back to illuminate the dark sky with the starlight.
It was like a legend in a fantasy.
In fact, this creature would not gather starlight. Although it would leave the pipeline, it would not fly too far away. That was because it relied on the pipeline … Midgard to survive.
It was not a creature of the void. At least, it was not a creature of our region. They only appeared in this world because of Midgard.
The real world they lived in was the frozen void that could only be reached through Midgard.
They were formed by the substances there and fed on the substances there. They might have come here out of curiosity or because of Midgard's … order. Regardless, they did not belong to the void.
That was why they could return to their world at will.
…
"Is what you said … true?"
The Scholar and the Hero were now in a … corridor.
The length, width and height of the corridor was more than six meters. The ground was covered with blue-green plants that looked like grass. The left side was hung with various … portraits. The right side was transparent like a wall made of glass.
Through the transparent wall, they could see a huge cavern space. The light inside was dim and they could not see what was inside.
However, the Scholar and the Hero did not look in that direction. Their attention was focused on a creature walking in front of them.
That creature … was a Dust Crocodile. At least it looked like a Dust Crocodile and spoke the language of the Dust Crocodile.
However, it did not call itself a Dust Crocodile. It called itself the 'Watcher'. It also meant that … it was the creator of the 'legend'. To be more precise, it was a member of the community of creators of the legend.
There were two versions of the legend of Midgard. One was written by a group of creatures. The modified ones also had this version.
The second version was the creator's version. Lin heard it from … the creator of the dream.
And now, it was said that this Dust Crocodile was one of the creators of the first version of the legend of Midgard.
However, it did not call itself the creator of the legend. Instead, it called itself the 'Watcher'. But the name was not important. That was what it said.
"I don't know the exact situation of our group either." Dust Crocodile said, "All I know is that I am responsible for recording the events of Midgard, including the ecology of the creatures here."
"What is it saying?" The Hero asked the Scholar because he still couldn't understand the Dusty Crocodile language.
"… I'll talk to you later." Then, the Scholar turned to Dusty Crocodile and asked, "So … you are a very large organization … that observes and records creatures?"
"That may be the case, but I don't know the details." Dust Crocodile said, "I was chosen to be a member of this group a long time ago. I am responsible for looking after this place."
"Alright," the Scholar said, "I'll sort it out a little …"
The general situation was … after the Scholar and the others let Star Ju escape, they received a signal from the brain-created monster. Following the signal, they flew to a certain place.
This place was a rocky wasteland, but when they arrived at the precise location of the signal, the Scholar and the Hero found an entrance on the ground.
After entering the entrance, they arrived at a large underground space.
This place looked like an underground base. After entering, the Dusty Crocodile came to welcome them.
It said that it had received the message and was waiting for them.
Then, the Dusty Crocodile told the Scholar and the others … about the creator of the legend. In short, they should be a very large group. They called themselves the Watchers.
This group had once recorded the events of Midgard. The Midgard legend of the Modified Ones was written by them.
Furthermore, the recording of the legend had not ended. This group of creatures who called themselves the Watchers built a … base inside Midgard.
They continued to observe and record the situation here, from a very long time ago until now.
According to the Dusty Crocodile, the original creator of this base was long gone. The creatures who managed the base were all selected from the local civilization in the pipeline.
It was also selected and happily accepted this mission. Even though it didn't know where the original creatures who built the base and carried out this mission went, they continued to maintain this place generation after generation.
To put it simply, this was the situation here … It was said that the selected creatures all had a strong sense of mission. They no longer cared about their previous civilization and worked hard to work here until the end.
In this base, there were many records of creatures, including the records of the Star Cluster. Just like what the Scholar had heard … the Star Cluster was a creature that came from the frozen void.
They might have been ordered by Midgard to join the army that destroyed the civilization, so they would attack the Dusty Crocodile's city.
But why would they be related to the demon? That was not clear.
"Actually, based on recent records, there are many … strange situations in Midgard," the Dusty Crocodile said. "Especially recently."
"Recently … there are many strange situations?" the Scholar asked.
"If you know the legend, you should know," the Dusty Crocodile said. "In short, you want to track the Star Cluster, right? There is a way for you to track it here. "
"You have a way to track it?" the Scholar asked.
"We have a way to track many creatures here," the Dusty Crocodile said. "There are many … very powerful techniques here."
"Is that so?" the Scholar asked. "There are indeed many things here that I want to know."
"You can look around here as you wish," the Dusty Crocodile said. "Because you have the right."
"Why?" the Scholar asked. "Actually, I've been meaning to ask you this question since the beginning. Why can we enter this place? Is it because of those two …? How are they related to you? "
"Yes, it is because of them," the Dusty Crocodile said. "We also … recognize the meltdown zone."
"However, the main reason is because of it."
"It?" the Scholar asked. "Who is it?"
"It is also a creature with the right, and this right has been recorded here since a long time ago."
