the last king of darkness

Chapter 300 The Thickness of History

University scholar Amides said cautiously.

"The truth about the past is what we all seek."

"There is a saying among us, knowing what happened in the past, you will know what will happen in the future."

Rhodes said with a smile: "History always repeats, 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 taken aback, thinking that the influence of history really permeates every aspect. No matter what novelty or theory it is, people's first reaction is the history of the past.

"Oh, yes."

In order to avoid trouble, Rhodes directly admitted.

University scholar Ricard pondered: "It doesn't have to be from Fanxing Town, I think it has been passed down from a longer age."

University scholar Amides said: "Yes, the Starry Kingdom has a history of less than 1000 years, so it won't have such a heavy feeling."

"One more thing." The great scholar De Lan added: "The Kingdom of Stars was in the third era. At that time, the black mist had covered the sun. They would not have such a proverb, so it should be from a more distant place that can be seen." See handed down from the Second Age of the Sun."

Rhodes sighed in his heart. They could deduce so much from this sentence alone, and it sounded quite reasonable.

If I didn't know, maybe I would have believed it.

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

"Well... I know we are in the Dark Era. Before that, there was the Third Era, which was the era in which the Kingdom of Stars existed. At that time, there were also black mist and monsters, and there was also the Second Era, ancient gods, etc. It seems to be from that era. .”

Amides nodded: "I know enough, much more than ordinary fighters."

University scholar Oberon said with a smile: "You are so wise, do you want to switch to the palace of knowledge? I can accept you as a disciple."

"do not."

University scholar Amides shook his head.

"Your Excellency the archbishop will go crazy, our little hero Rhodes is now a big hit in the royal city."

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

Knowledge is important, but they also know that it is just an uncertain future.

The fighters are the pillars of the present. If they can't support now, then 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, when the fire is extinguished, the spirit world will be formed."

Rhodes was surprised: "The spirit world?"

"Yes, it's unbelievable, right, but we have recently confirmed that among the three worlds, the first to be born is indeed the spirit world, which is boundless until the end of time."

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

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

The meeting room was quiet, and everyone was listening to Amides' speech.

Although they have known it for a long time, they can have different perceptions every time they listen to it, and they find that they have not noticed the details before.

"On the day it was born, there was a huge shock in the spirit world. It was divided into four layers, the inner spirit world, the outer spirit world, the high-level spirit world, and the extremely high-level spirit world. The spatial separation and potential barriers are extremely difficult to cross, and the main material world corresponds to the inner spiritual world."

"The sea of ​​origin also vibrated. The clear source floated up and became the new fundamental rule of all things. The turbid source condensed and became source matter, scattered all over the world."

"So far, the law of the world's operation has been roughly determined. This period, we call it the era of chaos, tells the process of the beginning of the world and the beginning of the birth of all things."

"Because it is too long, it has no clear timeline. We can only attribute all the history 1 years ago to it."

Amid paused for a moment, with a leisurely fascination on his old face, he continued.

"After the era of chaos, there will be the legendary era of light, also known as the era of gods."

"This is our second epoch, from about 1 years ago to about 6000 years ago."

"Legends say that in the early days of this era, every day was the day of fire, the day of the sun, and the day of Hanukkah with clear skies. People could walk freely on the land without worrying about being eroded by black mist or attacked by monsters."

"During this period, gods fought side by side with humans. Powerful god cities spread all over the land. People's main enemy was the abyss. Occasionally they also fought monsters, demon spirits, giant dragons, or evil giants."

Rhodes was surprised: "God City?"

Amides nodded slightly: "The city where the gods live, each god city is the capital of a human country, and the gods usually live in the temple at the highest point of the god city, accepting people's offerings, and providing protection for their sheltered sons. civil war."

"The ancient city of Sagus, where the Doomsday cultists 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 gods is on the ground, and gods and humans live together.

This is obviously not right.

But he didn't interrupt the scholar again, he only kept this question in his heart, and planned to ask it after the soul of the book of knowledge recovered.

Amides continued: "According to some clues we have obtained from the historical relics, we infer that at some time in the middle of the second era, the black mist appeared."

"This period of history has a very large gap, and many truths have been annihilated. We only know the result."

"The gods fell one after another, or disappeared, or were eroded by the black mist, and fell into monsters. The city of God was completely destroyed, and human beings were completely defeated."

There was silence in the room, and people seemed to be holding their breath, only the old voice of Amides remained.

"But there are many records about the later period of history. We have found descriptions of that period in many relics. Their words are full of pain and despair. After thousands of years, we can clearly feel it."

"At this moment, the initial 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 era, but it is also possible that the origin of the fire is the demise 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 in that era in our imagination."

"People ignited the first fire and established the first human city of the King of Fire."

Amides paused before uttering the name.

"Bless the Holy City, Loren City, the sacred heart of Amelia Cass."

"Its appearance brought hope, the fire dispelled the black mist, eliminated the monsters, and human beings gained a respite."

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

Amides' expression came out from the deep pain and became high-spirited.

"After Loren City stabilized, the remaining humans gathered in everything, and the power of humans became stronger again, and they mastered the power of fire, giving birth to a new professional system, the fire bearer."

"People cleaned up all the monsters near Loren City, and built this human settlement bigger and bigger."

"For some reason, the black mist also weakened during this period. The human expedition went farther and farther, 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 mist."

"After a period of time, people mastered the method of separating the holy fire seeds from the first fire, so they went to various parts of the land to light holy fires, and established more fire king cities."

"But this can't meet the skyrocketing needs of human beings. They have mastered the method of using the power of the sacred fire to create a guardian fire."

"Then the fire blazed swiftly over 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 age, the light of fire shines everywhere. There are human cities all over the land. Brave warriors hunt and kill monsters in the black mist. The black mist can only occupy the distant land. outlying regions 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 heavy again.

"That's when disaster struck."

"Why did it come and why, we still don't know so far. 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 reduced to monsters."

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

"The surviving humans called that period of history a mass extinction, and they avoided it in any ancient books. We only know that the king's city was destroyed one after another, the holy fire was extinguished one after another, and human heroes who were once regarded as hope died one after another. Cover the earth once."

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

"When their capital, Starry Night and Star City in Tasnia, was breached by unspeakable monsters 500 years ago, the Dark Ages began."

Amides said in a low voice.

"We don't know what happened in the early days of this era. According to the records in the King City of Trorian, the legendary last human hero, Trorian, took away the last seed of the holy fire and gave it to our king city. Reignited it, gathered the remnants of humanity, and established a kingdom that lasts to this day."

"To commemorate this great hero, we named this country Trorian."

"Since then, the Tesrivian Gregorian calendar has begun, and it has lasted for 1325 years so far."

The venue was quiet, no one spoke.

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

Rhodes felt it even more deeply. For a while, he almost thought that he was going to be invincible, and all the ancient gods were killed in front of him.

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

And in the history told today, Rhodes feels stronger than everyone else, because he knows something that no one else knows.

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

But in this torrent of history, they don't seem to have splashed any water.

And how can he be invincible who only has a broken dream and ignited a small number of stars?
Amides was silent for a minute before continuing.

"During this period, we also experienced two major faults and lost a lot of historical data. This is one of our most regrettable things."

There was a huge loss in Amides' tone, and the expressions of everyone were the same.

"If these historical materials are still there, we will unlock many unknown secrets, know the historical truth of the Great Fault, and maybe find the reason for such a horrible disaster, so as to avoid it in the future."

The great scholar O'Brien nodded slightly.

"Yes, so under my suggestion, we also call the unification of the Great Fault 900 years ago and 400 years ago the Great Extinction, just to remind us that the pressure of survival is always on our heads, and we must not let it happen because of a temporary Dazed with victory."

University scholar De Lan said: "We attach great importance to history. We will record the details of every event in a large library and keep it properly for our descendants to look up after thousands of years."

Amides nodded slightly.

"There is nothing more important than history."

He repeated that sentence again.

"If we know the past, we can know the future."

After pausing for a moment, Amides continued: "Although there are two faults, the history of Trorian is relatively clear. In the past 1000 years, we have also had glory. At present, we have expanded and occupied The ruins and towns, all of which were previously occupied."

"Of course, apart from Fanxing Town, although it was let go by Trorian 600 years ago just because of its location, this is indeed the first place we occupied that had never been occupied."

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

Everyone looked at Rhodes together, their eyes were full of scorching heat.

Rhodes forced a smile.

Amides looked 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 illuminate more land. Make human beings more prosperous, and find the way to the legendary ultimate light."

Everyone applauded together, and the enthusiastic atmosphere became active again in the venue.

Rhodes also clapped his hands vigorously to dispel the lingering heaviness.

After the applause fell, Rhode suddenly thought of a question and asked.

"Your Excellency Amides, are we really the last city of the Lord of Fire? From your story, I don't seem to have heard that other cities of the Lord of Fire have survived."

Amides replied with a smile: "This issue is also our most controversial issue. Some people think that the world has been destroyed and we are the last survivors."

"But there are still some people who believe that there is still a surviving Fire King City in an unknown distance."
