Lavis, a famous duchy in the north. It was also one of the few countries that could ignite the fire seed of Order in the first instance.
Unfortunately, even though the fire seed of Order protected their people from the influence of the chaotic magic, the terrifying abyss demons had their eyes on this land.
Perhaps the Warlock bloodline of the royal family of Lavis had attracted the demons' attention.
Anyway, on the day that Ma Wen was busy dealing with the Dark Phoenix, an abyss gate opened in the sky above the capital of Lavis.
Countless demons swarmed down, and the situation was very tragic.
When Ma Wen went to Jadeite City, he wanted to go and take a look. After all, he had a close relationship with Daniela. Even though he believed in the abilities of the Arctic Queen, his appearance had already created a very strong butterfly effect.
Di Gaogeng had died prematurely, Glenos's divine kingdom had been destroyed, and even an illusory ancient god like the God of Truth had been resurrected.
Only God knew what else was impossible.
Therefore, as soon as the trip to the Scarlet Wastelands ended, Ma Wen directly rejected the old tree man's [Green Sea Wonderland] mission and rushed to Lavis.
Along the way, he had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.
Isabel was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Ma Wen didn't look too good, she didn't say anything and just silently increased her speed.
...
Although the White River Valley was as peaceful as before, the Cataclysm had brought too much pain to the people of this world!
Along the way, Ma Wen and Isabel had witnessed too many tragedies.
The Supreme Forest was still fine. After all, it was also protected by the fire seed of Order. Only a very small number of animals and plants were demonized, and these creatures were quickly eradicated by the druids.
But once they left the territory of the Supreme Forest, it was simply hell on earth!
The Supreme Forest was only the territory of three duchies from the Lavis Duchy.
However, these three duchies were now a tragic scene of corpses everywhere.
As they walked on the road between the duchies, all they saw were the corpses of ordinary people.
The ground was dyed dark red. Ironically, it was the beginning of spring in the north.
Without the snowstorm covering everything, the Cataclysm's actions towards humanity were clearly displayed before the two of them.
Isabelle had heard about what happened to Fernand in the Scarlet Wasteland, but without seeing it with her own eyes, she could not imagine how miserable the human world was!
Those who did not have a shelter all became the prey of the Chaotic Magic Power.
Her eyes were filled with fury.
The hills in the distance were overflowing with greenery, and there were pink and tender sprouts growing from the branches. This was supposed to be the most beautiful time of spring in the Northern Kingdom.
The farmers would form groups of three to five to start the new year's farming, while the nobles would rush to the outskirts to ride horses and enjoy the spring.
However, all of this disappeared.
There were only corpses. Countless corpses.
Flocks of crows flew over from the Storm Coast in the northwest. They smelled the blood in this place and were enjoying this gluttonous feast.
They passed through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, killing many demonized wizards along the way.
Just like in his previous life, Ma Wen noticed that a portion of the demonized sorcerers had begun to evolve after killing a large number of living beings.
This was very terrifying.
Under the influence of the chaotic magic, it was actually only the sorcerer's will that was destroyed. His strength did not decrease — unless he could use his strong will to resist the temptation of the chaotic magic.
However, this point just happened to coincide with the essence of witchcraft — chaos! Because of this, in the following days, these demonized sorcerers would continue to grow stronger!
Chaos was a hot spring that bred evil. This was a vicious cycle, but no one could stop it.
Thinking of this, Ma Wen suddenly thought of a theory about chaos —
All witchcraft originated from magic, and magic itself was the source of chaos.
The two most basic and pure powers in this world came from the Heaven's Kingdom of God and the Abyss. The former represented the power of Order that protected the rules of the universe, while the latter represented the chaotic magic that broke all rules.
In ancient times, wizards were regarded as heretics, and it was not without reason.
Many mages who specialized in the study of witchcraft finally came to a conclusion — if more and more people used witchcraft, the world would become more and more chaotic.
It was the same for the entire multiverse.
Chaos meant expansion and expansion. And endless expansion and expansion could eventually lead to an unimaginable explosion!
Ma Wen had come across these theories when he was doing the mission of the demonized sorcerers in his previous life.
At that time, he felt that these worldviews were quite interesting.
Now that he had transmigrated to this world, seeing that the demonized sorcerers had obviously become stronger, Ma Wen could not help but feel a chill in his heart when he thought of these theories again.
When Lance created the Universe Magic Pool, was it really to maintain the order of the world?
From his point of view, he should be able to see the final destination of this world, right?
Could something like chaos really be resisted by order?
After the creation of the Universe Magic Pool, the third era ended. A new god ascended, and the era of the sorcerers arrived.
Fernand became extremely powerful because of the prosperity of the sorcerers, but the end of the fourth era was also because of these powerful sorcerers.
Humans were almost extinct. Chaotic magic was released in one breath, like a beast out of its cage, affecting the whole world.
The eyes of the abyssal demons had long been red, and they could not wait to kill Fernand; and the ancient angels, who had their own calculations, and the current Demon Lords, seemed to be quite interested in the fourth Fate Slate; the prophecy of the Sea of Evil Spirits was still in their ears, and the filthy energy more terrible than chaotic magic was constantly brewing, only God knew in a few years that the most terrible monster would be born; even the heavenly kingdom that symbolized [Order] had lost the bottom line of the gods.
They began to actively break the rules.
This world became extremely impetuous. Anyone who had a choice was not willing to live a peaceful life.
And the innocent ones were the ordinary people of Dawn.
Their lives were as insignificant as ants.
Within a week after the Cataclysm, the population of Fernand sharply decreased by two-thirds!
Most of the remaining one-third were hiding in the shelters, and a few were hiding in remote villages. They lived in despair, not knowing when this terrible era would end.
When thinking of this, Ma Wen's mood became even heavier.
…
It took them most of the day to pass through the three grand duchies.
Ma Wen had the Flight Spell and the Crown Griffin's Transformation Spell, while Isabelle had learned a secret skill from the Winter Assassin, which allowed her to travel thousands of miles in a day.
The two sides compared the speed of long-distance raids, and Ma Wen was surprised to find that after Isabelle activated that secret skill, she actually ran faster than he could fly!
This was too amazing!
Marvin could only be envious of this.
There were always some geniuses in this world. It was a pity that this secret skill could not be used in battle, otherwise, this state that clearly exceeded God's Agility could definitely kill anyone of a higher level.
As the leader of the Third Era, the Winter Assassin's means were quite clever; if it was not for the fact that he was innocent, he would probably be the Shadow Prince now.
"We're here!"
At the entrance of a forest, weeds grew wildly beside it, but still could not cover the stone tablet.
[Lavis, Nation of Warlocks]
There was a small line of maxim below: [The truth is not visible to the naked eye].
Ma Wen understood the meaning of this sentence. In the eyes of the world, the Principality of Lavis was not much better than the Stony Mountains. The only difference was that the warlocks of the Stony Mountains were exiled by the Southern Wizard Alliance, and the Principality of Lavis was forcibly established with the strength of the Crowland Family alone.
Strength was everything. The northern principalities still recognized the status of Lavis, but they still regarded them as demons and ghosts.
Ma Wen himself was also a warlock, and he knew that this was just a kind of bloodline power.
From this, it could be seen that ignorance was the greatest demon and ghost.
"Let's go …"
The two entered the forest.
In the forest, a warm breath suddenly filled the air.
This was something they had never felt before.
[The Power of Order].
Walking from a place full of chaotic magic to a place illuminated by the Fire Seed of Order, every time they walked, the feeling was so strong.
Their uneasy hearts suddenly calmed down.
Even Ma Wen and Isabelle felt this way, not to mention the others.
They followed the path through the forest and entered the internal territory of Lavis.
Although it was a principality, in fact, there were many cities in the north, and the territory of Lavis was not very spacious.
Ma Wen once estimated that the whole of Lavis, with the capital built on the snow mountain as the center, was not as spacious as today's White River Valley.
After all, after accepting River Beach City and Sword Port, the scope of Ma Wen's territory was already very shocking.
If the Southern Wizard Alliance still existed, he could at least be made a Marquis. And this territory in the north was enough to establish a principality or even a kingdom!
…
They walked on the road of the principality, and along the way, they could still see some corpses, but it was much better than the three grand principalities!
These corpses were left behind by demons.
They passed by some villages, but these villages were already empty.
Before the Cataclysm, this was simply unimaginable.
Ma Wen and Isabelle crossed four northern principalities, but they did not see a single living person.
But after the Cataclysm, such scenes had become the norm.
It was not until they were close to the main road of the capital that they encountered fresh life.
But what made Ma Wen feel helpless was that they not only encountered a group of refugees.
Beside this group of refugees, there was actually a small team of demons!
The leader was a ferocious-looking centaur. He looked strong and was saying something in broken common language.
On the other hand, the trapped refugees revealed looks of despair.
Isabelle looked at Ma Wen.
The latter said lightly:
"You do it."
