The point was that it was the first time she had seen her sister let down her guard against outsiders. The two of them had wandered all the way from Erouine to here. They had experienced countless hardships and obstacles along the way, encountered trouble and danger, and also received help from kind-hearted people. But no matter what, her sister had never easily trusted anyone, let alone traveled with others.
They would occasionally act with caravans during their travels, but that was rare. Unless it was a caravan made up of several caravans, they almost never joined a single caravan. It was a similar situation for the Adventurer's Team. These necessary measures were all to better protect themselves. In fact, it was also because of this reason and the two magical items that their mother had left them that their long journey could be considered a daunting experience without any mishaps.
But today, it had obviously subverted her understanding. She knew very well that although her sister had asked for her opinion on the dock, Lotus knew her sister's character better. When she spoke like that, she had already made a decision.
In that kind of situation, she would not easily open her mouth to object.
At this moment, she carefully looked at the expression on her sister's face, but for a moment, she did not know what to say.
"You actually don't want to go on the ship, right?" Ling seemed to have seen through his sister's thoughts and asked softly.
"Not really, sister," Lotus shook her head and said, "I just feel that it's a little abnormal, which makes me a little uneasy."
"Abnormal?" Ling hesitated for a moment, "Are you talking about my decision?"
Lotus nodded. "Is there a reason?" She immediately asked again.
"Yes."
"Can I know?"
"Of course," Ling replied, "I was going to tell you earlier, but I'm not sure."
"Not sure?"
"I … I suspect that he knows who our mother is."
"Ah!" Lotus shouted in a low voice and could not help but take two steps forward excitedly, "Sister, is what you said true? That 'he' is Mr. Brando, right? "
Ling nodded slowly.
"But why didn't you ask him directly? Mr. Brando is not the kind of person who would hide things from us, is he?"
"I don't know, but I have a hunch that maybe it's not a good thing for me to ask …"
"Why, sister?"
"I … I don't know." Ling shook his head and sighed.
… …
After Brando told his conjectures one by one, there was silence in the cabin for a while. He raised his head and looked at Delfien, just in time to see the Prime Minister's daughter looking at him.
"Delfien, what do you think?"
"My Lord thinks that there is a connection between these two things?" Delfien asked.
"Of course," Brando nodded, "Demons have always been the Demons, and Akentu is his vanguard general. Also, I think the Twilight Dragon controlling a group of dragons and sent to Tauchik, which is thousands of dragons.............
"Indeed. So, what are your thoughts, Sir Lord? Why don't you tell us one by one, and it won't be too late to fill in the gaps later."
"I have a few ideas. The first is related to the resurrection of the sheep-headed Demon Akentu. As I said before, Akentu is the vanguard general of the Twilight Dragon. If it can break the seal and return to Wohnde, it will undoubtedly be bad news for the mortal world. There is no doubt that this is also the most important step of the Twilight Dragon's plan to invade Wohnde."
"But there is not only one Demon Lord. My Lord, do you still remember the invasion of Jorgendy Ridge? In fact, the Demons have already begun to move. Although we still don't know where they have advanced to, one day they will appear in the surface world."
Delfien analyzed, "So, although Akentu is an important chess piece in the hands of the Twilight Dragon, it may not be the most important one. I don't think it is worth the Twilight Dragon to plot against the Dragons thousands of miles away. And we have to consider the possibility that although Flora and the other dragons thrown into Tauqik are powerful, they may not be the most powerful forces under the Twilight Dragon. At least among the monsters we have seen on the battlefield of Finhotos, some are much more powerful than Miss Aloz, aren't they? "
Brando nodded. He had never thought about it in this direction. He looked at the little female dragon beside him. Aloz had the same thoughtful look on her face. Apparently, she also agreed with this statement, or at least part of it.
"Then let's continue to reason," the Prime Minister's daughter continued, "Why did the Twilight Dragon throw a few dragons under its control into Tauqik? It obviously relies on the strength of these dragons, or not only their strength. I can even be sure that the fact that they are 'Dragons' itself may be more important to the Twilight Dragon."
"This is one of the reasons. Secondly, My Lord has said before that for the resurrection of Akentu, it is not necessary to have these additional factors. Perhaps these dragons can escort the resurrection of Akentu to prevent external forces, such as us, from coming to destroy this plan. But this possibility is too small. Besides, as I said before, the Crystal Cluster can also do this, so there is no need to go through so much trouble. "
"So," Delfien smiled and looked at the two of them, then continued, "I think this possibility can be ruled out. What do you think, My Lord?"
Brando also nodded, "I think so too. Then, in addition to this point, the second possibility is that the Twilight Dragon threw these forces into Tauqik, perhaps to cooperate with the Crystal Cluster army in the south to attack Madara."
"This possibility is actually very small," Delfien shook her head and said, "The reason is the same as above. The gains do not make up for the losses. Besides, a few dragons will not play a decisive role in the battlefield in Madara. The resurrection of the Goddess of the Dead Moon, Klyss, in the Land of Eternal Death is actually enough to respond to the Crystal Cluster army's attack in the south of the Dead Moon Inland Sea. The undead have already given up on the Land of Eternal Death for this reason, haven't they? "
"Then there is only one possibility left," Brando replied.
He raised his head and looked at everyone in the room.
"Teacher, do you mean that the Twilight Dragon's purpose may be the same as ours?" Huang Huo finally spoke at this time, "Its goal is also the Nature's Pearl?"
Brando subconsciously looked at Delfien.
The Prime Minister's daughter smiled slightly and did not answer.
The little female dragon raised her head at this time and shook it, "If your analysis is correct, I think its purpose is not the Nature's Pearl."
"If it's not the Nature's Pearl, then?"
"Actually, there are also three possibilities here," Delfien said with a smile, "I think everyone should still remember the purpose of our trip."
"Is it not to find the Nature's Pearl?" Mr. Liu asked.
"No, no, no, that's the final result. What we want to do is to solve the mystery of the jadeite, find the Stagnation Realm, and find the Nature's Pearl from the Stagnation Realm," Fang Qi replied. He glanced at Delfien and continued, "So, the mystery of the jadeite, the Stagnation Realm, and the Nature's Pearl may not be the same thing, and they may not be mixed together. Just like how the Nature's Pearl is more important to Mr. Brando, the more important thing to us, the Ghost Chariot lineage and the Jade Phoenix lineage, is actually the mystery of the jadeite, because it relates to the inheritance of our Supreme Sword."
"I understand." Mr. Liu also reacted, "So, the Twilight Dragon's purpose may not be the same as ours. The Nature's Pearl is meaningless to it, and the same goes for the mystery of the jadeite. The thing it is looking for is the Stagnation Realm?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on the little female dragon Aloz at the same time.
Brando finally spoke, "Aloz, what is the Stagnation Realm?"
Aloz shook her head and hesitated for a moment before replying, "The Stagnation Realm, as the name suggests, is a world that is stagnant."
"So, it's a demiplane about the Law of Time?"
"No, it's not a demiplane, and it's not even a space-time fragment that broke away from Wohnde. To be exact, it's a real complete world, a world that is not inferior to Wohnde. In a sense, its territory is actually wider than Wohnde, and its laws are more complete than Wohnde's — "
The little female dragon's words were shocking, and everyone could not help but be taken aback, "What?"
Aloz did not care at all and continued, "As everyone knows, our world is made up of the main material world and the four elemental territories. Outside the material world, there are countless sub-planes and demiplanes of various sizes connected. Some of these demiplanes are man-made, such as the White Tower of the Bugas — and some are formed by the projection of the Law of Tiamat. In fact, the four elemental territories all belong to this category, and some are simply space-time fragments that broke away from the world of Wohnde. Outside the elemental boundaries, you can often see these demiplane islands suspended in the void. This space is actually not a complete plane, it can only be said to be a broken space."
"What I want to say here is that there is such a legend in the dragon literature. Compared to the Stagnation Realm, Wohnde is actually its sub-plane or even demiplane. Our world is dependent on a real main world, and that world is the Stagnation Realm … "
After Aloz finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the cabin, and even the prime minister's daughter had a look of disbelief on her face.
"But … how is this possible?" Huang Huo whispered to herself.
"Are you kidding, madam?" Fang Qi questioned without hesitation.
Among everyone, only Brando was silent. He thought for a moment before looking up and asked, "Aloz, then what does the Stagnation Realm mean to Wohnde?"
The little female dragon looked at him with a little surprise, and then replied, "These are actually just legends, I only saw it from the literature, and may not really have any specific meaning. But there is such a saying … "
She was silent for a moment before continuing, "As everyone knows, the history of our world is far more than the part recorded in our books. In fact, in the Pale Epic, we can understand that there were many, many eras before the mortal era. In every era before the mortal era, Wohnde began with the creation of the gods, and ended with the war between the gods and the Twilight Dragon — "
Hearing this, Brando's heart suddenly moved slightly.
"… Since the ancient times, we've won every single one of these tragic wars. In fact, it is the opposite. The era brought by the Azure Knight was the only time in the history of our world that we had a slight advantage against the Twilight Dragon. Because of this, Wohnde has been preserved since that era. "
"But before that era, every war ended with the defeat of the gods. In order to prevent Wohnde from being permanently destroyed, the gods had to personally destroy the world they created. According to the words of the gods, this is called 'the rebooting of the world'. Only in this way can we avoid the invasion of our world by the Twilight Dragon — "
"But every rebooting is accompanied by a painful price, and that price is accompanied by the complete destruction of the entire old world. And the new Wohnde is built on the ruins of the entire old world …"
At this point, Aloz looked up.
"Those ruins are buried within the stagnant world."
