"So, as each other's close friends, who is more worthy of Vilandis Yawang or Saran's Lada?" Wu Chen asked again.

"If I only consider each other, I would rather be friends with Lada of Saran." Dragon Slaying Sword Ireles shrugged.

"Obviously, as a friend of Verandis Crow, I'm really disappointed." Brighton Nightblade Alice also smiled.

"Master?" The Dragon Knight Ashtaret seems to have another focus: "Where does the Gray Heaven come from?"

"According to the book, the Heaven of Ash is a lost realm of annihilation, located in the depths of the void, and neither the annihilation demon nor the inhabitants of Mengdas. This is a realm composed of broken stones and Chaotic Creatia, and the sky appears green due to the energy of the void.

There are almost no living inhabitants in the realm, and the plants are very similar to those of Richie. The animals are mainly fireflies and lizards, which are prey of some undead bone eagles. The Ash Paradise is plagued by the corruption of the void, the shadows, and the dark spirits associated with Namila and the void."

"A piece of the annihilation demon and the inhabitants of Mengdas cannot reach, and is located in a lost realm on the annihilation plane." The dragon knight Ashtaret thoughtfully.

Wu Chen then woke up. Ashtaret's past is also closely related to the Heart of Darkness: "Ash, what did you think of?"

"Master, I always feel that the reason why I returned to Nain from the 4,000-year void drift is probably because someone has recently 'touched' the Heart of Darkness." The Dragon Knight Ashtaret said amazingly (Oh my God, is this also a foreshadowing?).

"Huh?" Wu Chen was immediately moved by this sentence. By the way, wasn't the reason why the Dwarfs of Zhuanmo disappeared because they hit Rock Khan's heart?

Wu Chen thought of a possibility: "Did someone find and touch the heart of darkness before us? 'released' the remaining energy in the heart of darkness, so he sent you, who had been drifting in the void for 4,000 years, back to Nain?"

"This is possible." Dawn Warhammer Sili, who had sorted out the books, gently held up her glasses.

Previously, Wu Chen considered that when the trial sailing of the new Sword Wind airship was completed, two creek wood lords, led by Storm Blade Anji and Dawn Warhammer Xili, could be sent at the same time. At that time, multiple routes were run parallel, and the adventure of recovering the serrated crown, the remains of the Snow Prince, and the lost Snow Prince helmet would be launched quickly. Because this trip was of great importance, it was still led by Lord Lord and the butler. In the future, it was similar to going out for adventures, and it was agreed that the librarian Dawn Warhammer Xili would be led by Librarian Dawn Warhammer Xili. In order to accumulate experience in future adventures, Dawn Warhammer Xili also traveled with Lord Lord.

"Where is the last position of the Heart of Darkness?" Lord Lord hurriedly asked.

"The Heart of Darkness has always been hidden deep in the Akzand Library." Dawn Warhammer Siri confirmed that: "Only the Void Astrometer forged by the Dwarf can safely place it."

Speaking of which, in 1E 221, the Dwarf of the Thundermo discovered a considerable source of divine light crystals, mainly located in Radbatal. The four Thundermo city-states led by Akensamz formed an alliance to supervise mining, processing and research. In order to melt the divine light crystals under precise control, Thundermo built a divine light crystal forging deep under Batalft in the Rift, using lava to create a magic weapon with great power. Later, the Thundermo Alliance discovered the Heart of Darkness and built various instruments to study and control its power. The Dwarf of the Thundermo also built the Akzander Library to share knowledge, and secretly created a void celestial instrument driven by the Dark Heart, which used the crystal energy, kinetic energy and musical power emitted by the divine light crystals to draw the void.

The subsequent development was in line with the old saying "There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests". The increasingly serious internal disputes surrounding the divine light crystal and the crystal forge ultimately led to the collapse of the Thundermo City-Constitution Alliance, and the four cities and their competitors fought fiercely for control of the forge. This conflict that lasted for decades was called the "Divine Light Crystal Battle". After the war, the city-constitution alliance of the Skyrim Dwarves collapsed, which also led to the abandonment of the Akzander Library.

This is the civil war between the city-states of Thommo that the Spirit Dragon Knight Ashtaret personally experienced. It is also the culprit that caused her to escape into the void for 4,000 years.

The ruins of the Thundermo where the Akzander Library are located are Enchangde Zell, which is now the city of Marcas, the capital of Richie. In the word "Tianmo," Enchangde Zell means "a city of splendor". Now, it refers to the excavation site of the Understone Keep and the deeper ruins under the city. The throne in the Thundermo was called the "Third of Sadness" by the Thundermo.

"Master, what does the relationship between the Heaven of Gray and Richi?" asked the Dragon Knight Ashtaret again. The 4,000-year gap made her miss many historical events.

"Rule, the Heaven of Gray is the territory of Ruichi that was torn from near Marcas City some time before the plane merged." This is also the answer Wu Chen obtained from ancient books.

The book says that around 2E 578, the founder of the Black Worm Cult, Mannimak, the worm king of the Black Worm Cult, arrived in Makas City for asylum. During this period, he and the worms were allowed to move in the ruins of Enchangde-Zer. At some point before 2E 582, the worm king acquired a considerable territory in the mountains near Makas, which could be reached through the large lift of Enchangde-Zer. Mannimak tried for the first time here to hold a plane fusion ceremony, hoping to merge the land with the Cold Port. However, the ceremony failed, and the land was separated from Tamriel, but did not go to Cold Port, but was lost in the void. It was this land that became the later paradise of gray. The failure of the merger led to it being somewhat similar to Cold Port in terms of landform and environment, and it was also called Grey Port.

Afterwards, Mannymak left Marcas and returned to the imperial capital Sirodir. He used the experience drawn from this failure to initiate a true plane fusion, successfully separated part of Tamriel and fused it with the Cold Port through Planar Vortex. This ultimately triggered a far-reaching soul explosion event.

It is said that the plane fusion experiment he tried for the first time in Marcas City not only shattered the area, but the terrain was destroyed by pulling from Tamrier into the cold port, and Morag Barr's servants were also constantly pulled into it. Therefore, Marcas City permanently closed the elevator entrance and did not allow anyone to visit it.

Although the plane fusion ended around 2E 582, this land of Richie neither returned to Tamriel, nor was it torn apart from those lands in the Tamriel continent pulled into the cold port by a dark anchor. Instead, it became a homeless land and floated in the endless void.

Soon after, Lada of the Grey King Saran takes the Borderlands in the Void as the last part of his centuries-long effort to save the Grey Army: Paradise of Grey.

Previously, Lada and the Gray Army reached an agreement with the demon god Morag Barr of Cold Port, promising to exchange their souls for power. Based on the stone shell experiment of Count Vilandis Crown and Privy advisor Ding Harris, Lada can restore the lives of many former comrades, release their souls from the eternal condemnation of Cold Port and reshape their bodies by retrieving their ashes and harvesting their souls from mortals. However, this recovery is only temporary, and their souls still belong to Morag Barr and will enter Cold Port after death.

In order to escape the slavery of the demon god Morag Barr forever, Rada formulated a grand plan to use the Formo Void Astrometer in the Akzand Library and the ancient vampire magic of the Night Cave Clan to guide the void to establish a connection between Mengdas and the Ash Heaven. Rada planned to use the Void Astrometer to go to the Ash Heaven, summoning the Dark Storm to absorb the souls of all the Ricci people, feed the Dark Heart, and let the Ash Heaven become a realm to protect the Gray Army. Due to the power of the Dark Heart and its connection with Mengdas, the members of the Gray Army will obtain immortality similar to Diderra.

Rada and some companions successfully came to the Heaven of Gray. He began to launch a dark storm, but met his old friend Vilandis. Rada hoped that Vilandis would join him and let him see that it was completely feasible to obtain redemption from Morag Barna, but Vilandis did not agree that sacrificing many mortals just to save the vampire clan. He and his companions (Soulless) entered the Heaven of Gray and defeated Rada and trapped his soul forever. Then, Vilandis merged with the Heart of Darkness to calm the Darkness. Then, using the powerful divine power of the Heart of Darkness, he returned all the souls of the Richie people who had been absorbed before and saved everyone. Finally, after experiencing disasters, Makas finally regained his vitality.

From this we can see that the Akzander Library, the Heaven of Gray, the Heart of Darkness, and the Dark Storm are all in Nchangde Zell, which is now the Fortress under the Stone in the city of Marcas.

It is also the destination of the Lord's trip.
