The closer he got, the clearer the picture became. His attention was drawn to his profile as he was surprised by his level, it was at 83. Could he keep his level out of the Apidon world? It was a very pleasant surprise for him.
It took him half an hour to reach the camp. He found himself in front of a massive camp bounded by a high wall extending at least 30 meters high. Compared to the Shonty city wall, this wall was a dwarf.
In a world, without any threats, it could be considered a perfect one. Ibro moved towards the gate of the camp to find a group of soldiers guarding the gate. Some of them started to move outside to patrol the area around them.
What attracted his attention was that their uniforms were similar to the uniforms that he saw before in the garden of the palace. They were the Shonty group indeed.
His appearance had successfully drawn everyone’s attention to move in harmony and speed around him.
They pointed their weapons towards him. What an organized decisive move! Ibro raised his hands in a surrender sign to them and said:
“Hey, guys, we are in the same camp.”
“We’ve never seen you before. You don’t wear a Shonty city badge. Who are you?”
“My name is Ibro. You can be sure of my identity when you send a message to the city governor.”
He didn’t know if the governor was in this camp or not. There were three camps in the three cities of the Renalt world.
If his guess was right, whoever came from Shonty knew a lot about this world. So Roliv must be here.
This city was the most valuable of the three cities in the world of Renalt. He noticed the faces of the men around changed. They lowered their weapons quickly. Their leader said in an apologizing voice. :
“Excuse me, Mr. Ibro. We didn’t know you were coming here. The governor’s already waiting for you inside.”
“Lead the way, please.”
Ibro didn’t care about that little incident. On the contrary, he was quite content about their vigilance. There were no big risks around here but that didn’t mean any risk at all.
In the past, some of the camps established by G8 in the Renalt world were destroyed without anyone remaining alive. That death was included in the game and reality. So no one lived to tell the story.
These incidents, though rare, caused considerable panic at that time. Today he knew who destroyed those camps and killed everyone in them.
But he concluded from the scarcity of such incidents that there were very few Pnroian monsters in Renalt.
He didn’t fear for his life, he was here with the finest of the Shonty city army. He crossed the camp fence with the commander, who kept his mouth shut. He peeked at him from time to time though.
He was afraid Ibro would be angry about what he had just done. The camp was a micro picture of Shonty city. Ibro noticed large numbers of workers from Shonty who were busy building new buildings.
Ibro only missed two days in reality which meant ten days here. The task of building such a large camp might take at least a month. He arrived with the commander towards a large building that seemed like a hotel.
He didn’t need any more guidance, so he turned around and said:
“That’s enough. I’m going by myself. You need to get back to work.”
“I’m so sorry about what happened before, Mr. Ibro.”
He was interrupted by Ibro with a gesture of his hand. Ibro then said, trying to reassure the anxious commander:
“Don’t worry about it. I’m perfectly satisfied with your caution. Keep watching. our security depends on you .”
As soon as he heard the words of Ibro, he felt relieved. He said with great gratitude. :
“Thank you, Mr. Ibro. I’m going back now. If you need anything, come and find me. My name is Brant.”
Ibro just nodded and moved inside the big building, leaving the commander of the guard outside. As soon as Ibro entered the place, it reminded him of Roliv palace in Shonty.
The place was so spacious and empty, except for a simple wooden table in the middle of it. As usual, several of Shonty’s leaders were sitting around it and Roliv himself at its head.
Roliv used his palace in Shonty as a model and decided to clone it in Renalt. The sound of his footsteps echoed in the place to attract the attention of the people at the table.
Once they saw him, they all stood up for him. He felt nervous about the way they looked at him.
He also understood how angry they felt about his delay. He promised them a day or two, but he disappeared for almost ten whole days.
“You’re finally here, Ibro. “
“I’m sorry! There was a big problem in my world that it took me so long to solve .”
“Is everything okay?”
Ibro looked at Roliv with gratitude. He was not as angry at him as he imagined but worried about him.
“Yeah. Now, what’s the situation in Renalt?”
“We’ve established three bases in this world. “
He sat on an empty seat at the table and everyone stared at him. He ignored their angry blaming looks and asked Roliv:
“Do you have any information about this world?”
Roliv looked at Modry, who was in charge of the library in Shonty. He was the best one here who knew all the info about the Renalt world. Modry said with a weak tired voice:
“I searched the library long enough about any info related to this world. I found so much useful information, so I just came to tell the governor of the city about it. I will repeat all information about this world.
This world is called the world of Renalt. Renalt appeared in the history of Apidon almost 500,000 years ago. There are no records of this world and no info about the cause of his destruction.
There was one strange notice related to Renalt world destruction. There is a standard procedure we follow at Apidon when one of the worlds gets destroyed. We look for the cause of this world destruction.
Our leaders back then investigated but found nothing. They used the regular explanation for the destruction of this world as others. They wrote that a player must have died more than ten times there.
but they couldn’t find any record about a player visiting the Apidon world before. so the real cause is unknown and that incident was tagged under a mysterious incidents list.
This list is for incidents we do not yet know their explanation. Like all the worlds that Pnro invades, it was eaten away gradually over the years. So after all this time,
Renalt had lost about 80% of his original size and the rest would be eroded over the next centuries. Pnroian monsters that we discovered here were in deep slumber.
There’s no guarantee they would wake up shortly. Our current strength is enough to protect the three camps. If those monsters wake up, I would suggest we concentrate our efforts defending one camp.
The cities in this world are just the three you told us about. The most important city or ruins in them is Ronat.
It was the sacred city here in the Renalt world. So it lies at the center of this world, and it will be the last place to be eroded by Pnro.
As usual, the strongest Pnroian monsters are near the holy city. So we must be careful when excavating so as not to wake any monster by mistake. “
“Thank you, Modry. Did you bring a map of Renalt with you?”
He took out a scroll then put it on the table. He pointed at it explaining:
“This is what’s left of Renalt’s world when I used the Shonty probe. This map is a general map.
It doesn’t contain any specific details except for the three cities of the world and its important geographic landmarks. The one on the top near the massive rocky chain is the city of Rubiv.
The city located in the middle of the high mountains is Iknaz. Ronat is located in this vast plain that is bordered by mountains from everywhere trapping it.”
Ibro looked at the map in surprise. He imagined that the world map was in the form of a giant complete circle before. But the map in front of him looked no more than a paper gnawed by mice.
It was fragmented pieces of map stacked together carelessly! That was the map in front of him now. He recorded a video of the map from all angles. That was a feature in the capsules.
He could study it later, but now he had to understand the world’s situation more clearly. Ibro’s expectations were met when he heard Roliv asking:
– That’s great. Dozier, did you manage to find out anything useful around the three camps?”
Dozier was in charge of guarding the three camps, including exploring the nature of the area around them.
“We haven’t met any big discoveries in this world. Mr. Ibro once told us he knew where the mines and other important resources were. So I only sent patrol teams to search the areas of any danger.
If there was any risk we will know about it as soon as possible. I will show you what we discovered till the moment”
Then he stood up from his place with his big body. He then pointed to the spot where Rubiv camp was and said:
“Patrols in this area have combed nearly 100 kilometers around the Rubiv camp. This region is mountainous and rugged, so we faced many problems. All of them were resolved completely.
We discovered a series of mountain ranges whose peaks are red. There is also another series that is featured by a giant mountain that looked very unique in shape.
The last mountainous series that we discovered is characterized by a strange bulge on the sides of those mountains. Iknaz camp is like Rubiv camp, many patrol teams are now searching there.
But due to the presence of huge swamps in many of the surrounding areas we haven’t been able to explore the area fully. We discovered two different groups of mountains there.
One of these mountainous series is located in the North and is almost connected to the ruins of the city.
It doesn’t have anything special. The other group is characterized by the presence of two peaks of each mountain and is located towards the eastern side of the camp.
As for Ronat camp, we managed to search a wide area till now. Ronat is located in the center of the vast Plains. We have been able to explore nearly three hundred and fifty kilometers in this region.
This whole area is plain and was home to monsters before the world was destroyed. But something special we noticed during our search there.
