What was the Law of Tiamat?
If this question was asked to the natives of Wohnde, you would get the same answer: it was the blessing of Lady Martha.
And in The Amber Sword, the players did an in-depth investigation of this strange phenomenon that only belonged to the world of Wohnde.
The answer they got was:
This was the general name of the world order, the core of the elemental barrier that surrounded the entire world, and the basic law that bound the elements that formed the cornerstone of this world.
There was a clearer description of this in the Pale Epic.
Martha and the four Elven Lords made a covenant and personally sent down the Law of Tiamat, using the law to bind the boundaries of the elements, so that the cornerstone of the world of Wohnde could be established.
But in fact.
The Law of Tiamat could be observed.
Whether it was standing on the ground of Wohnde, looking up at the sky, or casting a glance in the direction of the elemental barrier from the chaotic sea of magic.
It was a magnificent silver network made of beautiful curves and straight lines. And this giant net spanned tens of thousands of miles in the sky, whether it was cloudy or a cloudless afternoon, people could always see its existence.
But few people had seen the real thing.
Brando was no exception.
The moment before Haku disappeared, although he did want to ask more questions, the other party obviously did not intend to give him the chance.
Her pale, illusory figure flickered slightly in the void, and Brando watched her disappear into the dark metal material plane.
Then the huge structure seemed to light up imperceptibly, and then returned to silence.
Brando reached out in that direction, but helplessly found that he could not catch the other party at all.
All he could see was the tens of millions of structures that lay across the void, shining with a metallic luster. They were arranged in a huge array, forming a giant net.
"Thank … I brought her here?"
"What are these things …?"
"What does this woman want … and what does she mean by those words?"
Brando's mind was confused and puzzled for a while.
Haku's behavior was so different from the Haku Tiamas he was familiar with, the Grim Reaper under the Black Rose who disdained to play tricks, the Angel of Death with a giant scythe —
However, since the other party appeared in his spiritual world, she had lied time and time again, and her actions were obviously just to hide the true intention of this moment.
Brando fell, but his eyes quietly looked at the huge array in front of him that lay across the dark space.
So what did this woman want?
What secrets were hidden here that the other party did not hesitate to use the Eternal Immortality as an excuse, and even revealed secrets like the Mercury Staff and Elemental Scepter to him.
This thought rose in his mind uncontrollably.
Although Brendel had the same doubts when he first saw this huge array, he still had the same doubts. However, at that time, the storm that blew in from the Realm Crystal Wall had extinguished these random thoughts. He had been in danger several times already, so he didn't have the time to think too much.
However, at this moment, this thought took root and sprouted in his heart, growing stronger and stronger.
Because he thought of another question.
He thought of this world —
Brando remembered that in the game, the furthest places that players had traveled to should be the River of Scorching Heat and the depths of Hell. And some players traveled between worlds with the Plane Traveler's fleet. They had been to many unknown worlds and broken planes, and even traveled for a long time in the Gray Segment, making enemies with the Aether Predators.
But there was a common sense —
No one could reach the outside of the Elemental Barrier. A force known as the World Cover surrounded the four outer worlds of the Wohnde, the Shallow Sea, the Mountain of Ceasing Storms, the Stone Pivot, and the River of Scorching Heat. When people tried to pass through it, they would be sent back by the opposite force, and there was no escape.
But when the Dragon Queen pulled out the cornerstones of the four Elemental Planes' laws, the situation became a little different.
The Shallow Sea and the Mountain of Ceasing Storms collapsed one after another, followed by the Stone Pivot and the River of Scorching Heat. When the four Elemental Planes that surrounded the Wohnde disappeared, the barrier between the Wohnde and the Elemental Barrier disappeared.
Brando was not sure if he was the only person who was lucky enough to witness this scene in thousands of years, but at least he was sure of one thing. He must be the only player who was lucky enough to witness all of this with his own eyes.
But when he saw this spectacular scene, this question flashed in his mind:
Then, what did all of this mean?
Fiyas and Root were shouting in his ears.
The storm that represented the Twilight Dragon's will was roaring. Just as Bai said, the furious Twilight Dragon was knocking on the world's gate, trying to tear open the World Crystal Barrier again.
Although she had not done so, the power of the entire world had been transmitted from behind the World Crystal Barrier. Even if it was weakened thousands of times, it was still enough to tear open the fragile Elemental Barrier.
Black ripples visible to the naked eye appeared in the space.
Behind them were the laws of time and space that were frantically twisting and escaping.
But Brando turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye. His mind was in a mess.
Unlike the education that the other soul in his body received from the other world, Wohnde in the game was an extremely wonderful world. The physical properties of everything in this world were determined by the description of the laws, and not the materials that made it up — the combination of the six elements of earth, wind, fire, water, nature, light, and darkness, as well as the nature of the elements themselves.
Just like when people picked up a piece of shale from the ground, they could clearly feel that it was a physical existence and was material.
However, everything changed when the Magi used their magical vision to analyze the stone tablet.
They would first find that although the existence of the slate depended on the elements of wind, fire, water, nature, and even light and darkness, they could not determine its nature.
Because only the laws surrounding it could ultimately determine the nature of everything — hard or soft? Dry or moist? How malleable was it? Was it brittle?
When the laws described it, no matter what the elements that made it up were, it would show the physical properties that people were familiar with. Because the elements were only the material foundation of Wohnde, they were like the bricks needed to build a building, and only the design blueprint could determine what the building would eventually look like.
It was like the process of a programmer labeling and injecting data into a thing he created. No matter how the 0's and 1's in the language he wrote down, in the end, what would appear in front of the players would be what the thing should look like in the game.
In The Amber Sword, the logic of the world was in line with its setting as a game, so the players did not care about it.
But since coming to this world, some problems have arisen.
If Wohnde was no longer a game world, then how did this world with one or more creators work?
Why did it show almost the same nature of the world as in the game?
Brando was not a poet who needed to explore the truth of the universe, and of course, he was not one of those Wizards who lived in towers all their lives in pursuit of ultimate knowledge and mysteries.
So he rarely thought about such questions.
In fact, there were many problems that he needed to solve, whether it was the chores of Abies, the troubles in Erouine, or the covetous Madara at the border, or the ambitious Empire.
It seemed that even if he had to deal with these things one by one, it would take up all his time and effort, and he would not have the opportunity to think about these trivial problems.
After all, he did not think that one day, unexpected events might force him to think about such a problem.
What was this world?
But it was not that he did not think about it at all.
When he first arrived in this world, when he lay in the countryside of the Green Village with Roman and Freya and looked up at the stars, he also had this question in his mind.
He once hoped that this world was just a dream of his, that he could wake up from his dream at any time and return to the civilized and orderly world that originally belonged to him.
When he woke up from his bed and opened the door of his room, he could see the familiar, teasing smile of Senior and Black Tea, telling him that it was just a prank.
But as he went deeper into this dream, he personally changed the kingdom bit by bit, changed the fate of many people, and saw those familiar names around him, no longer repeating their sad and bleak ending.
This hope gradually became a nightmare in his mind that he could not get rid of.
Every time he talked to Amandina, every time he listened to the strange ideas and ideas of the little Roman, every time he strolled in the afternoon sun of Abies Castle, watching the shadows of the leaves on the ground of the courtyard.
He could not help but wonder if this was a dream, and if he would wake up and find that all this was just his imagination. Every time such a thought came to his mind, he could not help but feel depressed and uneasy. He even had several similar nightmares, in which all his uneasiness and fear turned into reality. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was already soaked in cold sweat.
As time passed, this nightmare gradually expanded. Sometimes, he would even wonder if this world was still a game.
He sometimes even thought about it this way.
Perhaps the world itself was still a game, and when he woke up, he would find that everything he had experienced was still just data in the game.
