Fam Yazra, a late map of the Eldon Ring, the city of dragons, a temple floating in the sky. Returning to the box-style maze design, the depth and hierarchy are very clear, the map is not large, but the exploration fun is reminiscent of Dark Souls. But why is the city on the verge of collapse?
In the forest near the Eternal City of Norcron, the Minotaur archer must have been a nightmare for many players. The galloping Toret was able to shake everything off, but he could not hide from the Minotaur's arrows. What is the ancestral spirit of the Minotaur faith?
In the Ulu dynasty, the mud people with harpoons wandered tirelessly, what was their history?
Today's theme is the dragon city of Fam Yazra, Zuling, and the ancient dynasty.
The collapse of Fam Yazra
The first time you come to Fam Yazra, you may be going through the portal of the Four Clock Tower, and I believe that you will be shocked by the magnificent sight in front of you.
The huge hurricane is surrounded by broken buildings, and flying stones float in the sky, and the moment when it is destroyed is the most thrilling grandeur. Time here seemed to stop at the moment of shattering, perhaps this was the power of the Dragon King who sat in the center of the storm and controlled the crack of time.
So, as a city of ancient dragons, what kind of power can cause such a huge impact on it? In fact, the game has already given the answer.
At the beginning of the game, we enter the Nyingfu area and can see some strange ruins. If your memory is not bad, when you first met Kenneth Hyde at the edge of the misty forest, do you remember that he stood at the highest point of a ruin in order to avoid the sub-people below? In ordinary fast food games, designers want to highlight gameplay more than rationality. So some of the obstructions and buildings in the game can't actually be thought of in the logic of reality, because it was born to give you fun. But unlike the Elden Law Ring, there is no plain and unprovoked modeling, and the ruins of the lord of Hyde city can be seen everywhere in Nyingfu, and even in Lake Lyenia, the ruins can often be seen with "relic stones". From the description, we can learn that there is an "air temple" in this world almost at the beginning of the novice village.
If you don't go through the Lani branch line and go directly to the Red Lion City to participate in the battle celebration, you will encounter a combination that can be called a newcomer killer - the mixed doubles of lion hybrid + furnace knight. After a hard-fought victory, you'll get a legendary weapon, the Relic Sword.
Look closely at the pattern of the great sword of the relic, do you feel familiar? Let's recall the pattern of ruins in Nyingfu, a common ruins.
Yes, it is almost exactly the same, and the description of the Great Sword of the Relics mentions the Ruins of heavenly descent, which is indeed the ruins of the "Sky Temple" that we see in Nyingfu. Later, when we arrived at Fam Yazra, the motifs in the temple also proved that the ruins and the remains of the great sword came from Fam Yazra.
According to the description of the "Great Sword of Ruins", using the combat technique or heavy blow of the "Great Sword of Ruins", we can see the so-called "host of the power of destruction", which seems to be so familiar.
When fighting against the Black King, the White King, and Estee, we can often see such gravity magic. And Este's invasion did indeed come from the meteor swarm cast by the supreme will among the stars, perhaps one of which caused the collapse of Fam Yazra.
The kings of the ancient dynasty and the druids on the banks of the river
Presumably, no player who galloped on horseback on the banks of the River Shifra was not shot off his horse by the Minotaur archer? If the Silver Knights who guarded the Royal City in Dark Souls had this target, the undead could really be one to die.
There are too many mysteries hidden in the underground area of the junction, such as where the bubble-blowing clay man came from, and what is the ancestral spirit of the minotaur who worships nature? Let's look at them one by one. First of all, we can be sure that the underground area of the junction once had three civilizations, represented by the Night Man, the Eternal City, which believed in the god of the night. The Druids, represented by the Minotaur, believe in ancestral spirits, and the ancient dynastic humans represented by the clay people holding harpoons believe in lost oracles.
First, let's look at the Minotaurs, and on the "Fur Coat of the Priests", we can see the Minotaurs waiting to "sprout new shoots".
What is "sprouting new shoots"? From the "light horn headband", we seem to be able to see some clues.
"The horn that sprouts new shoots and emits light is the sacrificial tool closest to the ancestral spirit", from the text, we can extract the key words "sprouting new shoots", "close to the ancestral spirit", why is a sacrificial tool known as the existence closest to the ancestral spirit? For the ancestral spirit itself is the nature of life.
Ancestral spirits are different from the golden tree, or even slightly different from the existence of the furnace of life, the history of existence in the junction is even older than the golden tree, and the ancestral spirit may be an ancient god that came into being at the beginning of the junction. It represents the nature of life, all things are endless, the pursuit of nature, life, old age, illness and death are the norm, and the non-extinction of species is reproduction.
This is also the closest to the real human society's outlook on life, there is no immortal god, even the ancestral spirit will die, the ancestral spirit of the priests and animals on the banks of the River Shifra is the death of the ancestral spirit. However, the ancestral spirit will not die, because the ancestral spirit is a being higher than life, and perhaps it is more appropriate to call it nature. Do ancestral spirits that fight against players really exist? Or is it just a long, in-depth conversation with life in front of the skeleton of the ancestral spirit after the bonfire is lit?
Next we turn our attention to the Clay Man, one of the most inconspicuous monsters in the game, who are slow-moving, holding harpoons, have humanoid bodies, but are covered in mud, resulting in low sharp weapon damage. There is not much threat to the player, and they will use two kinds of magic, "Oracle Bubble" and "Oracle Bubble".
Let's start with the magic of the clay people, I'm not sure how many friends have used the "oracle bubble", unlike the golden bubbles blown out by the snow king trumpet of the "Honey Snow Ice City" in the royal city, the bubbles of the mud people are blue.
The badge that appears when the bubble is cast. Do you feel familiar?
There is no mistake, this coat of arms is the coat of arms of the Kalia royal family.
This should also be the best evidence that the predecessor of the Kalia royal family was the Ulu Dynasty, which can see a large number of ruins near the Eternal City of Noc starla, where many clay people still live today. There are also two Esthers hanging in the Uru Dynasty, judging from the white body, perhaps after being captured and hung here by the anti-colonial coalition forces, just when the external god Scarlet Valkyrie awakened from the Great Cloister, infected with scarlet corruption, and could only die.
On the Lake of Corruption, the figure of the Minotaur can still be seen, and with Nock Stella not far away, it can be inferred that the three populations under the eternal night sky did coexist peacefully for a long time, until the appearance of the Scarlet Corruption Goddess broke this balance.
The great kings of the ancient dynasties betrayed their oracles, threw themselves into the arms of scarlet corruption, and slaughtered their once friendly neighbors.
After Este invaded the Crimson Corrupt Gods, a group of ancient dynasty residents fled the Great Cloister and went to the ground to establish the Royal Family of Kalia; a Minotaur came to the ground and established the Woodell Dynasty; and a group of Nightmen came to Galid and established the magical town of Celia. Three races living underground have come to the ground and played a pivotal role in the history of the junction in the future.
Oracles of the ancient dynasty
If there is specific evidence for the above content to refer to, then I can't give too much evidence for the next content, and I should explore it as a possibility. The first is about the mysterious statues of old men who frequently appeared in the Ulu and Wooder dynasties.
Regarding the statue of the old man, there are many arguments put forward by environmentalists, and some people believe that it is the embodiment of the supreme will, holding the slab of tree roots in his hand and stepping on the slab of the sun with his feet, which means the change of times. Personally, I think this argument is quite reliable, except for the point of incarnation of supreme will.
In the game, there is such a profession as a prophet, who predicts that the fire (Melina) will be extinguished with ashes and the golden tree will be burned. I think this old man was the original prophet and the embodiment of the oracle that existed in the ancient dynasty. The ancient dynasties, like the Golden Dynasty, implemented a system of royal and ecclesiastical authority, with the kings in charge of the kingship and the prophets in charge of the ecclesiastical power, similar to the status of Grey and Malika. The prophet foresaw the change of times, so he used the prophecy as a statue and placed it in the Ulu and Wooder dynasties, like the statue of Malika that can be seen everywhere at the junction.
The stone slabs in the temple of the Ulu Dynasty are hieroglyphic paintings to predict the history of the Golden Dynasty.
The first depicts something like three ships, foreshadowing the arrival of a rare human race brought by the Eldon Meteor, represented by Malika.
The second picture of the golden tree has begun to take root.
The third picture is of a military conference, perhaps hinting at the War of the Giants.
The fourth figure establishes the Golden Law, and the original Golden Law is on the middle table.
The last picture is the establishment of the Golden Dynasty.
After making such an oracle, the original prophet died, and the descendants of the prophet were displaced by the war, but even so, they still saw the destruction of the golden tree accurately. The ancient dynastic townspeople who had lost their kings and gods were like having lost their wisdom, and could only wander underground, longing for the day when they could welcome back their kings and gods.
This is the ideal country for players, and your attention is the greatest encouragement to me.
