Chapter 1745 The Mysterious Island
1745 The Mysterious Island
--Mirvana Island.--
Surrounded by mysterious currents, tides and impenetrable winds, the magnificent island stood the test of time for decades and centuries, without any knowledge of what was going on in the outside world.
To call it an island would be a mistake, for it was the size of no less than 60 cities put together.
It could very well be a small continent and empire on its own.
But, its current surroundings and troubling quarters kept the people from ever leaving the place.
Well, history speaks of one of their kind who was blessed with holy powers in ancient times.
This man was sent out by the Heavens to aid the outside world and his people.
And not long after, the man returned and became the ruler of their great Mirvanna Island.
Following that, his descendants have always been rulers, overlooking the lands.
But as astonis.h.i.+ng as that seemed, it indeed took a great length of time for them to eliminate the monsters in their Mirvanna.
Why?
Because some monsters adapted well to the turbulent waters.
And from time to time, would hide in the waters before coming back on land to slaughter them again.
For as far back as their history can recall, they suffered this plight, only permanently getting rid of all giant monsters roughly 300 to 400 years ago.
The people were mutilating at their victories, not knowing the outside world had long gotten rid of their own overly giant monsters thousands and thousands of years back.
Well, it was a cause for celebration that began the great era of revolution, as they now began building more and more structures advancing up the ranks of civilization.
But again, they were greatly slow compared to the outside.
While they were in the Bronze Age, the outside world has long stayed in the Iron Age.
Don"t get them wrong.
From time to time, iron swords would indeed wash up at the sh.o.r.es, only those iron swords were so rusted and falling apart that these people thought they were made of bronze since bronze itself was coated brown.
It"s amazing how such an empire was overly blessed, yet the people had no clues of what their land had.
Yes.
Almost everywhere one looks, there are mines and mines of crystals, precious gems, and mineral ores that would make one call Mirvana the land of the rich.
This was no joke.
Everything was here concentrated in crazy amounts, as though the heavens were trying to make up for trapping these people here.
There were ruby mines in people"s backyards, gold lines started around travel routes and so on.
It was amazing that the people didn"t value some of these items greatly, since their focus was mostly on food, shelter and prosperity for their kind.
With no outside merchants to trade with, they didn"t even know they were sitting on piles of riches that would make Morgany invade their homes in a heartbeat.
Yes...
Should Morgany or even Adonis get wind of their location, they can finally kiss their peaceful days Goodbye.
There were also strange medicinal trees never seen before, that probably only grew in their strange peculiar lands.
There were beasts of all sorts, those that were not gigantic like the ones they made extinct.
If people back in Landon"s former world thought dinosaurs were gigantic, imagine having animals 3 times the size of dinosaurs roaming the land.
No way.
It was probably why the Heavens gave them powers to fight off these creatures and get a chance for survival.
Perhaps even the heavens didn"t predict these giant creatures would grow so big over time.
Rather than evolving down to smaller sizes, they evolved to larger ones, almost sinking the lands with their monstrous sizes.
Well, they had to go.
.
As for the current creatures roaming about, they were indeed slightly bigger than those outside the Mirvana but were still acceptable and were different breeds from those outside.
For example, the Hangol"s here were very different.
Hangols outside were like a crossbreed between cougars and lions.
Their fur was purplish, and they were twice the average size of a piece back on Earth.
But the Hangol"s on this land were 3~4 times the size of a lion back on earth.
Again, unlike the other Hangols outside, these only had manes at the top of their hair. The appearance looked more like a feathery fur than the actual mane of a lion.
They had 2 tails, and longer fangs protruding out the corners of their mouths.
But it was amazing how these people in Morvanna had even fought barehanded with these beats, winning vigorously at times.
This only showed how strong they were.
Understand that unlike the rest of the world that did away with their giant beasts and focused their fighting on other humans... These people had been fighting monstrous creatures for so long like primitive people that their fingernails and palms were still so st.u.r.dy and powerful like blades.
Remember that it wasn"t long ago that they did away with their giant beasts.
300-and-something years have pa.s.sed since then.
And even though evolution had slowly changed them from generation to generation, one can still see a few deadly features from their great-grandparents pa.s.sed onto them.
Like Goblins and orcs, they had immense strength from birth, though not as powerful as the Giants, but slightly similar.
Their green-colored green was magnificent, and their burly and curvy bodies were shaped so beautifully.
Another amazing thing about their women was their tiny waists.
This was a feature from birth, one anyone could find in all women picked out from a crowd.
No matter how their upper bodies and lower bodies expanded, their waists always remained so small and slender, giving them the perfect hourgla.s.s figure.
Their internal bone structures and body parts made them this way.
Yes... The people had blessings of all sorts, from their beauty to their brown hair, sharp teeth, sharp nails, rich lands and peaceful times.
This was Mirvana... The Hidden Island, the Morgs knew about from the ancient texts but could never prove existed.
This land of milk and honey should be filled with laughter and joy. But as it stands, all that could be heard were the constant weeping of many.
How can they when their chosen heir is dying?
