Anyway, after communicating with Sister Jinlong, Fang Zheng finally understood the current situation of the main world.
Generally speaking, the main world is still relatively stable. After all, although Fang Zheng has been away for a long time, due to the time difference between the planes, in fact only about five months have passed in the main world. So far, there has not been any incidents similar to the Northern Fortress Crisis, so it is still relatively peaceful.
As for the ban on the spiritual crystals of the Tiandao Palace, it did not have much impact on the Tiandao Palace in the short term. After all, the countries had basically taken out most of their spiritual crystal stocks before, and now they had no resources to trade spiritual crystals with the Tiandao Palace. So for now, the only trouble this caused to Fang Zheng was that the plan he had agreed with Bishop Karl to mine spiritual crystals in the north was probably going to be shelved.
Of course, if we talk about being unhappy... Fang Zheng is definitely unhappy, and the Golden Dragon girl is also unhappy with the Fire Nation.
Although they are all citizens of order, the Fire Nation is different from the Holy Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom. Although it claims to believe in order, according to the Golden Dragon Girl, the Fire Nation often uses order as a "hostage".
"Those barbarians know that we need them to maintain order, so they are so complacent, while the attitude of the Temple is that as long as order is stable, everything else is a small problem... Although the characteristics of humans are short-term stupidity and a tendency to settle for the present, I just don't like it! But what can I do? Am I really going to launch a military conquest? Not to mention that there is a sea between the two sides. Once a fight really breaks out, the Fire Country will surely fall into chaos, and then the Twilight of Chaos will surely take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in!"
Speaking of this, Sister Jinlong also looked unhappy.
"And those guys know this, so they dare to do anything. Humph... Stupid mortals!!"
After complaining for a while, the golden dragon girl said goodbye and left. Since her mission had been completed, the Pope should reopen her nest after she returned... Otherwise, it would be too miserable for a golden dragon to sleep on the street.
Although the Golden Dragon girl was mostly complaining and venting in front of Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng still got a lot of useful information... First of all, the one who had dealt with him before should be the Abyss Lord, the evil dragon Baimons. It stabbed Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng beat it half to death. This grudge has been formed. Even if Fang Zheng doesn't look for it in the future, it will come to seek revenge on Fang Zheng.
Not to mention, Fang Zheng wants to seek revenge on it!
However, no one knows where the evil dragon Baymons is, and Fang Zheng’s own strength is not enough to fight against a true god-level abyss lord, so... let’s discuss this matter later.
But if I can’t beat the big one, can’t I bully the small one?
Although the Golden Dragon Girl did not elaborate, Fang Zheng could guess that this matter must be related to the Fire Nation. But the problem was that it was not easy to find the person in the Fire Nation who summoned the evil dragon Baymons and wanted to kill him.
As for the reason...
"Although the evil dragon Baymons is a fallen being, he is also a dragon. Sleeping in the cracks of the abyss for a thousand or eight hundred years is his daily routine. Generally speaking, he will not wake up unless someone calls his true name. Then he will appear in the other person's nightmare and make a deal with the other person. But... that's the problem."
Speaking of this, Sister Jinlong also looked helpless.
"No one really remembers the real name of the evil dragon Baymons, just like when you are dreaming, you will blurt out a series of nonsense that you don't even know, and maybe the real name of Baymons is hidden in it. What's more terrible is that when you wake up, you won't remember what kind of existence you have dealt with, and your memory will automatically rationalize the part of your transaction with the evil dragon lord. Just like the flatterer I mentioned before, he believed until the end that it was his strong desire for revenge that moved the goddess of order, and the goddess gave him a divine weapon that could command the dragon clan! If the smell of the evil dragon was not set in stone, we would really be deceived by the bastard's imagination!"
That's right, this is the key point that makes Fang Zheng headache. Those who have made deals with the evil dragon Baimons will not remember that they have made deals with an evil dragon lord in their dreams. Perhaps when they wake up, they will only think that they were ingenious or used some conspiracy to achieve their goals. If you think along this line of thought, then there are probably at least 800 people in the Fire Country who want to kill Fang Zheng...
But for Fang Zheng, is it important to not be able to identify the mastermind behind the scenes?
It doesn't matter at all!
The Fire Nation wants to kill me? Damn, do you look down on me, a lawful and kind Paladin? To eliminate evil, there must be sacrifices. It is the choice of the Paladin to rather kill ninety-nine by mistake than to let one go! For the sake of order, justice, and the cute little lolis in Tiandao Palace, Fang Zheng has decided to kill the Fire Nation first, and then talk about other things!
During the conversation with Golden Dragon Girl, Fang Zheng had understood that in fact most of the forces in the Holy Kingdom were unhappy with the Fire Kingdom, but there was nothing they could do. The Fire Kingdom was one of the four places that guarded order. If they fell into chaos, it would be easy for Chaos to take advantage of them... This was not important. What was important was that the people of the Fire Kingdom themselves did not take this seriously!
For the Holy Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom, order is supreme and the most important. Therefore, chaos is a threat to them. But the people of the Fire Kingdom are completely different. They see chaos more as a trump card that can be used to bargain with the guardians of order. In fact, there are many sects in the Fire Kingdom that believe in the evil god of chaos. If it were the Holy Kingdom or the Magic Kingdom, they would have been eliminated immediately. However, the Fire Kingdom not only does not care, but also calls it "freedom of belief."
If the Holy Nation dares to meddle in other people's affairs, it will sue the other party for interfering in its internal affairs... What can the Holy Nation do? The Fire Nation is clearly telling the Holy Nation that if you don't cooperate with me, I will no longer be the guardian of order and I will become an accomplice of chaos, while also colluding with chaos... There is nothing the Pope can do about this group of scoundrels.
The Fire Nation is so fearless because they are the only guardian of order on that continent. But what if... there is a competitor?
When it comes to order, humans can't even compare to the Zerg!
When the Zerg becomes the guardian of order on that continent, I wonder what you damned bastards will have to be proud of! Then you should kneel down and sing "Conquer"!
After hearing Fang Zheng's next plan, Nymph, Tilia and Hecate were all stunned for a long time, and then Tilia spoke.
"So... Onii-sama, are we going to invade the Fire Nation this time?"
"What do you mean by invasion? That sounds so ugly. We are going to explore!"
Fang Zheng glared at Tilia. Although the map showed that the Fire Nation had circled the entire Western Continent as its own home, in fact, their territory only occupied one-third of the continent at most. The remaining half was wilderness and dangerous mountains.
Of course, the awkward land form of the Fire Nation is also related to their history. The predecessor of the Fire Nation was a group of exiled criminals and explorers of the New World who were eager for adventure. They may have been exiled, or they may have been eager for excitement. In short, they crossed the ocean and came to the Western Continent, which was still a wild land at that time.
There were indeed a few heroes among the first group of people. In short, these people gathered the exiled criminals and explorers of the time, successfully ignited the fire of order in the Western Continent, and then established their own country here. The Temple was quite happy at the time, after all, it was a good thing to have one more force to help them share the threat of chaos.
But... perhaps because many of the members of the Fire Nation in its early days had grudges against the Holy Temple, the Fire Nation was willing to cooperate with the Holy Nation, but it also had a strong intention to confront it. The Holy Nation did not care much about these things. As the Golden Dragon girl said, as long as they were still willing to fight against chaos and maintain order, they were comrades on the same front, even if they went a little too far... The Holy Nation would only resolve conflicts and disputes within the rules.
Because of this, most of the Western Continent is still a wilderness with no one in it, and some places are even full of monsters just like outside the Northern Fortress. For Fang Zheng, it is a simple matter to find a place for the Zerg to set up a base.
But before that, Fang Zheng still had one thing to resolve.
"For now, we have no energy supply here, but it doesn't matter. We can make our own living and have enough food and clothing. Energy security still needs to be solved by ourselves, so... Nymph, have we found any spirit crystal mines nearby during this period?"
According to Bishop Karl, there are usually spiritual crystal veins on the border between Chaos and Order. The place where Fang Zheng is currently located has always been an uninhabited area, so it is not too much to guess that there is an underwater mine or something.
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Nymph frowned.
"In fact, according to Tanji's scan, we did find a place that is likely to be a spiritual crystal deposit."
"What does probably mean?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment when faced with Nymph's answer.
"Because there are very scary monsters defending there."
"monster?"
"Yes."
Nymph nodded.
"I sent four or five detectives to search that area, but they were attacked before they could find the correct location of the spiritual crystal vein, and then it was completely destroyed... From the images sent back by the detectives, there should be a very powerful underwater monster living there..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was also shocked.
Although Fang Zheng had heard rumors about sea monsters from the captain before coming to this sea area, he had never seen any monsters since the Tiandao Palace was built for so long, so Fang Zheng had long forgotten about it.
But I didn't expect that this rumor was actually true?
