The Last Dark King

Latest website address: University scholar Amides said cautiously.

"The truth about the past has been what we all are seeking."

"There is a saying here that if you know what happened in the past, you will know what will happen in the future."

Rhodes said with a smile: "History always repeats itself. There is nothing new under the sun."

University scholar Oberon nodded: "This sentence is very philosophical. Did you see it in the ruins of Fanxing Town?"

Rhodes was startled and thought that the influence of history has penetrated into every aspect. No matter what novel thing or theory it is, people's first reaction is the history of the past.

"Oh, yes."

In order to avoid trouble, Rhodes admitted it directly.

University scholar Rikar pondered: "It's not necessarily from Fanxing Town. I think it was passed down from a longer period of time."

University scholar Amides said: "Yes, the Kingdom of Stars has only existed for less than a thousand years, so it won't have such a heavy feeling."

"One more thing." University scholar Delan added: "The Kingdom of Stars was in the third era. At that time, the black mist had obscured the sun. They would not have such a proverb, so it should be visible from a more distant place. It was handed down from the Second Age of Seeing the Sun."

Rhodes sighed in his heart, they could infer so much from just this sentence, and it sounded quite reasonable.

If I hadn't known it, I might have believed it.

Amides asked again: "How much do you know about history?"

"Hmm... I know we are in the Dark Era. There used to be the Third Era, the era when the Kingdom of Stars existed. At that time, there were also black mist and monsters. There was also the Second Era, ancient gods and so on. It seems to be from that era. ”

Amides nodded: "I know enough, much more than the average warrior."

The great scholar Oberon smiled and said: "You are so wise, do you want to switch to the palace of knowledge? I can accept you as a disciple."

"Don't."

Academician Amides shook his head.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop will go crazy, our little hero Rhodes is now a big star in the royal city."

Everyone laughed, knowing that it was impossible for Rhodes to change careers.

Although knowledge is important, they also know very well that it is just an uncertain future.

The combatants are the backbone of the present. If they cannot hold on now, there will be no future.

Amides continued: "Let me start from the beginning. Do you know the creation myth?"

"not sure."

Amides smiled and didn't care.

"It is said that the universe is a boundless sea of ​​fire. One day, the fire is extinguished, and the spiritual world is formed."

Rhodes was surprised: "Spiritual world?"

"Yes, it's incredible, right, but we have recently confirmed that among the three realms, the first to be born is indeed the spiritual realm. It is boundless until the end of time."

"Then what was born was the Sea of ​​Source, which is the underlying logic and rules of the world and the source of the generation and destruction of all energy."

"The last thing born is the main material world, which is also our world."

The conference room was quiet, everyone was listening to what Amides had to say.

Although they already knew it, every time they heard it, they would have different insights and find that they had never noticed the details before.

"On the day it was born, there was a huge shock in the spiritual world. It was divided into four levels, the inner spiritual world, the outer spiritual world, the high-level spiritual world, and the extremely high-level spiritual world. Between each level there was a huge The space barriers and potential barriers are extremely difficult to overcome. The main material realm corresponds to the inner spiritual realm. "

"The Sea of ​​Sources also experienced huge vibrations. The clear Sources floated up and became the fundamental rules of new things. The turbid Sources condensed and became Source Materials, scattered all over the world."

"At this point, the way the world operates has been roughly determined. This period, we call it the Era of Chaos, tells the story of the beginning of the world and the birth of all things."

"Because it is so long ago, it does not have a clear timeline. We can only attribute all the history of 10,000 years ago to it."

Armidas paused, with a leisurely and fascinated look on his old face, and continued.

"After the Era of Chaos, there is the legendary Era of Light, also known as the Era of Gods."

"This is our second epoch, around 10,000 to 6,000 years ago."

"Legend has it that in the early days of this era, every day was a Fire Day, a Sun Day, and a Hanukkah with clear skies. People could travel freely on the land without having to worry about being eroded by the black mist or attacked by monsters."

"During this period, gods and humans fought side by side. Powerful divine cities spread across the earth. People's main enemy was the abyss. Occasionally, they also fought monsters, demons, dragons, or evil giants."

Rhodes was surprised and said: "Sacred City?"

Amides slightly nodded his head: "The city where the gods live, every divine city is the capital of a human kingdom. The gods usually live in the temple at the highest point of the divine city, accept people's offerings, and protect the people they protect. Fight."

"The ancient city of Sagos where doomsday believers obtained the Book of Destiny is such a divine city."

Rhodes frowned. He remembered that the Book of Knowledge told him that various regions in the high-level spiritual world were actually the remains of the destroyed Kingdom of God.

But Amides said that the city of God was on the ground, and gods and humans lived together.

This is obviously not right.

But he did not interrupt the great scholar again. He just kept this question in his mind and planned to ask it again after the soul of the Book of Knowledge was restored.

Amides continued: "Based on certain clues we obtained from historical relics, we infer that the Black Mist appeared during a period in the middle of the Second Era."

"There are very big gaps in this period of history. Many truths have been lost. We only know the results."

"The gods fell one after another, either their bodies were destroyed or their spirits were destroyed, or they were eroded by the black mist and turned into monsters. The city of gods was completely destroyed, and mankind was completely defeated."

There was silence in the room, and people seemed to have held their breath. Only the old voice of Amides was left.

"There are many records about the later period of history. We have found descriptions of that period in many ruins. Their words are full of pain and despair. The pessimism about the future and the fear of the impending destruction of mankind are vivid on the page. Even though Even after thousands of years, we can clearly feel it.”

"That's when the first fire was lit."

"We are not sure about the detailed date of the birth of the First Fire. It seems to have existed in the early Second Age, but it is also possible that the origin of fire is the death of the gods. There are many theories about this matter, but the real history has been sealed in time. In the long river of history, the remaining clues are too old to be verified, and we can only restore what happened at that time in our imagination."

"People lit the First Fire and built mankind's first Fire King City."

Amides paused before spitting out the name.

"Bless the Holy City, City of Loren, Sacred Heart of Ameliacas."

"Its appearance brought hope. The fire dispelled the dark fog, destroyed the monsters, and humans got a chance to breathe."

"Since then, the Era of Gods has ended, and mankind has entered the Era of Fire."

Amides' expression came out of sadness and became high-spirited.

"After the city of Loren stabilized, the remaining humans gathered together. Humanity became stronger again, and mastered the power of fire, giving birth to a new professional system, the Fire Bearer."

"People cleared away the monsters near Loren City and built this human settlement bigger and bigger."

"For some reason, the black mist also became weaker during this period. The human expedition team traveled further and further, and once again controlled a large area of ​​land."

"But without fire, humans cannot survive for a long time. Once they leave, monsters will be born again in the black fog."

"After a while, people mastered the method of separating the Holy Fire Seed from the First Fire, so they went to various places on the earth to light the Holy Fire and built more Fire King cities."

"But this cannot satisfy the skyrocketing needs of mankind. They have also mastered the method of using the power of the holy fire to create a protective fire."

"The Sword Comes"

"Then the fire quickly ignited across the earth, like the most magnificent starry sky on the clearest summer night."

"Countless human kingdoms have been established, and human beings are unprecedentedly powerful. In the most glorious era, the light of fire shines in all directions, and the earth is full of human cities. Brave warriors hunt monsters in the black mist everywhere. The black mist can only occupy distant places. A remote area and a small continent."

"Everyone believes that they will eventually overcome the nightmare of this world and usher in a bright future."

Amides' tone became serious again.

"That's when disaster struck."

"Where it came from, why it came, we still don't know yet. This period of history is the history we have lost the most. We can almost only find the destroyed wreckage, the extinguished holy fire, and the royal city that fell into darkness. and the strong human beings who became monsters.”

"It wasn't until the end of it that we found some traces of history again."

"The surviving humans call that period of history a mass extinction, and avoid mentioning it in any ancient books. We only know that the royal cities were destroyed one after another, the holy fire was extinguished one after another, and the human heroes who were once regarded as hope died one after another, and the darkness continued. Covered the earth once."

"We regard the destruction of the Starry Kingdom closest to us as the end of the Era of Fire."

"The Dark Ages began when their capital, Starry Night, Tasnia's Starry Sky City, was breached by unspeakable monsters fifteen hundred years ago."

Amides said in a deep voice.

"We don't know what happened in the early days of this era. According to the records in Trolian King's City, Trolian, the legendary last human hero, took away the last Holy Fire Seed and placed it in our King's City. He rekindled it, gathered the remnants of humanity, and established a kingdom that continues to this day.”

"In honor of this great hero, we name this country Trorian."

"Then the Teslevian Gregorian calendar began, which has lasted for 1,325 years to date."

The venue was quiet, no one spoke.

Everyone felt this extremely heavy history, and the heaviness that hit their faces made everyone unable to breathe.

Rhodes felt it even more profoundly. For a while, he almost thought that he was going to be invincible. All the ancient gods would be beaten to death in front of him.

The ancient gods are so fragile, is there anything stronger than the ancient gods?

In the history we are telling today, Rhodes felt it more strongly than anyone else because he knew something that no one else knew.

The Book of Knowledge once told him that Dreamland had more than one owner in the past, and they were the strongest men at the top of the times in each period.

But in this torrent of history, they seem to have made no splash.

And how could he be invincible if he only had a broken dream and ignited a small part of the stars?

Amides was silent for a minute before continuing.

"In the meantime, we also experienced two major faults and lost a large amount of historical data. This is the most regretful thing for us."

There was great disappointment in Amides' tone, and so did everyone's expressions.

"If these historical data are still there, we will unlock many unknown secrets and know the historical truth of the occurrence of the great fault. We may be able to find the reasons for such a terrible disaster and avoid it in the future."

The great scholar Oberon slightly nodded his head.

"Yes, so under my suggestion, we unify the great faults of nine hundred years ago and four hundred years ago and call them mass extinctions, just to warn us that the pressure of survival is always on our heads. We must not because Dazzled by the momentary victory.”

University scholar Delan said: "We attach great importance to history. We will record the details of every event in the big library and properly preserve it for our descendants to consult thousands of years later."

Amides nodded slightly.

“Nothing is more important than history.”

He repeated that sentence again.

“If we know the past, we can know the future.”

After a moment of pause, Amides continued: "Although there are two faults, the history of Trolian is relatively clear. In these more than a thousand years, we have also had glory. Currently we are expanding. The ruins and towns captured have been occupied before.”

"Of course, except for Star Town, although it was only spared by Trorian six hundred years ago due to location issues, this is indeed the first place we have occupied that has never been occupied before."

"We have taken a step that no one has ever taken before, and the man who did this great deed is right in front of us."

Everyone looked at Rhodes with burning eyes.

Rhodes forced a smile.

Amides' expression turned serious.

"Our road is so tortuous, just like human beings in the past. We have been strong and weak, but we will eventually become stronger. I firmly believe that we will be able to unlock all the secrets and let the fire light up more of the earth. Let mankind prosper more and find the path to the legendary final light."

Everyone clapped together, and the warm atmosphere became active in the venue again.

Rhodes also clapped vigorously to dispel the lingering heaviness.

After the applause fell, Rhodes suddenly thought of a question and asked: "Your Excellency Amides, are we really the last Fire King City? From your story, I don't seem to have heard that other Fire King cities have survived. ”

Amides smiled and replied: "Your question is also the most controversial one for us. Some people think that the world has been destroyed and we are the last survivors, but some people think that there are still people in the unknown distance. The surviving Fire King City exists.”
