Chapter 17: Overview of Another World Part 2 (previous final chapter)
Adventurers usually carry a white crystal stone with them.
This magical ore can absorb the evil energy that escapes after the death of monsters.
Depending on the total amount of demonic energy absorbed, the crystal itself will change color differently.
When the magic power is exhausted, it will turn back into ordinary white crystal stone.
Let’s use the “battery” metaphor again.
If we say that magic seeds and magic cores are both "natural batteries" produced by monsters.
Then the way the crystal absorbs the escaped magic energy is equivalent to charging the "artificial battery".
No matter what, energy like magic power has no worries about sales.
There is a wide range of needs in almost all walks of life, and the influence is huge.
Including the cultivation of extraordinary strength and various types of rigid consumption.
Even the ancient alchemy engineering and potion skills now have magic-assisted steps.
Therefore, hunting monsters itself is an act that can create value.
For the monsters in the cave, the creatures of the Naroa continent are also an alternative resource.
When monsters attack humans, in addition to killing, eating, and humiliating them, the most important purpose is to collect materials.
The souls, blood, and even hearts, brains, eyes, and genitals of the Naloa natives can be used as sacrifices in different monster rituals.
These rituals will cause changes in the monster crypts, and the individual monsters in them will also change.
However, academics believe that the deeper meaning of rituals to monsters should go beyond this.
Because the chaotic and disorderly offensive will of the monsters has proved that in their eyes, all the creatures in the Naroa continent are lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
There are endless hypotheses about the motives and origins of monster attacks.
But tracing the source is not important, as neither side has any reason to let the other go.
Against this background, the invasion of monsters actually contributed to the mixed civilization and multi-ethnic structure of the continent of Naroa.
As long as intelligent races can communicate, no matter how different their appearance, concepts, beliefs, and customs are, there is hope for peaceful coexistence.
But monsters are different. Both low-level and high-level monsters regard the Naroa natives as insects and livestock.
It can be said that I have learned about the relationship between monsters and indigenous people.
This basically grasps the main line of the Naroa continent.
The rest of the customs can be slowly adapted to.
After all, there are too many different races, with differences in food, clothing, architectural styles, etc.
The overall style is a composite model of great integration and multi-ethnic coexistence, which is difficult to summarize in simple words.
But at least this shows that the internal system of the alien world is inclusive enough.
With the common language mastered by default, it would not be a problem for Chen Xuan to integrate into it.
Except for the main line of monsters.
Chen Xuan also had a preliminary understanding of Naroa's circadian rhythm.
The twin suns in the sky are called the bright sun and the dark sun, and most of the time they do not rise and set at the same time.
Instead, they have their own revolution cycles, and only every four Naraya years can we see the synchronization of the two suns.
The longest daytime can reach eight water clock hours, and the shortest can reach six water clock hours.
Each water clock hour corresponds to three hours in the blue star.
As for night, there are two types.
They are respectively the pseudo night when the bright sun sets and the dark sun sets in the west.
This phase usually lasts two water hours.
After the false night, there is the moonlit night after both days disappear, which lasts for six water hours.
There are also various combinations of moon phases, but it's a pity that Rebecca doesn't know much about them.
You need to consult a professional astrologer.
Usually, a new batch of monsters will emerge from the crypt around the time of false night.
And the monsters at night will become particularly excited and manic.
The opposite is true during the day.
Therefore, adventurers hunt monsters day and night.
The information in this area was only enough for Chen Xuan to get a rough idea.
Basically, it can be considered that one Naraya day is approximately equal to two Blue Star days.
There must be certain errors, but there is no problem in understanding it this way.
Finally, there is the story about Rebecca and the demon seed.
While talking about this, Rebecca Miri ventured to make a request of him.
That is to cure her brother and mother from the plague.
Chen Xuan was noncommittal about this.
Although he was not a qualified slave owner.
But he still knows who is the slave and who is the master.
He would not care about such things until Rebecca made a substantial contribution to him.
Moreover, he was not sure about the situation of the so-called disaster, and he would not take up extra time for this matter.
Rather than saying that Chen Xuan is cold and ruthless, it is better to say that he is pragmatic enough.
After all, it was a completely different world, a treasure shrouded in mist, and the key to obtaining extraordinary power. It was not a children's amusement park.
Even if you have a golden finger, you still have to take care of everything.
It can be seen that Rebecca still cares about her relatives very much. When she knew that her request was hopeless, the haze on her face could almost be described as "sorrowful and heartbroken".
Therefore, Chen Xuan said at the end that as long as she does things well for herself, she will consider solving the disease problem for her relatives.
It gave her a glimmer of hope.
While the two were talking, Chen Xuan also deliberately showed off some of Blue Star's tricks.
Just as he was amazed by the extraordinary power of the Naroa continent, Rebecca was equally amazed by Blue Star's methods.
This not only makes the image of the master in her mind more mysterious.
There is also reason to believe that Chen Xuan may actually be able to cure disasters.
Silently reviewing it in his mind, Chen Xuan quickly walked to the snack street where he usually went.
Rebecca's eating habits are basically the same as humans, except that she has a larger appetite.
So Chen Xuan directly packed two portions of braised chicken and two portions of braised pork ribs.
While waiting for the meal, he suddenly had an enlightenment and realized the essentials!
The relationship between monsters and the continent of Naroa is not as simple as it seems.
The key point lies in the magic!
If we say that the Naroa continent before the appearance of the monster crypt was a low-demon world.
Then as monsters emerge and the use of magic power is strengthened, the magic energy reserves become increasingly abundant.
The continent of Naroa has actually slowly evolved to the level of a demonic world.
Some of the information Rebecca mentioned about supernatural powers proves this.
According to this line of reasoning, the cave behind may represent some kind of secret of world change.
Chen Xuan thought seriously. If he hadn't been worried about the monsters "guarding corpses" in place, he would have wished to go back [cross-border] now and go to Magatan City to learn more about this magical world.
To be on the safe side, Chen Xuan is planning to wait until tomorrow to do the [cross-border].
In this way, we can avoid the risk of being "guarded" and wait until some of the special supplies purchased last night arrive.
Moreover, the next morning happened to be the end of the dark night over at Naroya.
Monsters are relatively tired during the day and are much safer than during the two nights.
In fact, Chen Xuan has already had a clear idea on how to be a qualified small businessman from both industries and make good use of the complementary advantages of [cross-industry].
Carrying the packed meals, he bought a few sets of junior casual clothes at a nearby clothing store and started on his way back.
After mastering the common sense related to the different world, he believes that there are still many preparations that need to be completed!
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
A new journey to another world is about to begin.
