Chapter 1,426 The Story of Five People (Part 1)
In fact, I suddenly felt that this facial paralysis sister seemed to have been in bad luck since just now. Even if she didn't feel it herself, I, the bystander, couldn't stand it. You see, not only did she die twice in a row, but she also She was inexplicably struck by a god's thunderbolt and was knocked unconscious for a full ten minutes. What she had experienced in the past half hour was enough to make a sad movie, and it would be a life-or-death kind of thing...
Under the watchers of a group of people, Sister Long with facial paralysis leisurely opened her eyes for the third time. This scene was very similar to the previous two times. Seeing the circle of heads in her sight, Zoya probably felt something about it herself. She took a deep breath and the first thing she said was: "...Was that a near-death experience just now?"
I was stunned, and suddenly realized that what Sister Facial Paralysis had experienced was too confusing, so she would rather imagine it as a near-death hallucination.
"No," I laughed dryly and helped Zoya up, then dragged her dizzy to sit on a chair. "You shouldn't have been so angry with the God of Time just now. You were punished by God and fainted. ”
"God's punishment?" Zoya frowned, as if she had just recalled the details of what happened before she fainted, and then looked at a group of us with a complicated expression, "By the way, you are gods... are you really gods?"
I scratched my hair and muttered to Bingtis, "Why do people ask us this question every time?"
"Maybe our professional image is still not in place," Bingtis said nonchalantly, biting a toothpick in his mouth, "In the next two days, I will study the kind of aperture with automatic tracking. When we go out to do errands, each of us will put one on our head. Maybe it will work.”
I looked at Sister Bing's irritated look and thought that this might not just be a matter of professional image. For someone like Bingtis, having a coast guard searchlight on her head may not necessarily have the effect of making people bow to her. …
We gave Zoya half a minute to completely regain her clarity, and then the facially paralyzed dragon sister's eyes were on Qian Qian again. Her expression was strange, as if she had a thousand words but couldn't express them because she was not good at words. , I quickly waved my hand to her when I saw this: "Don't say anything. I know what you want to say. The artifact has caused a lot of trouble in this world, so you have a lot of resentment, right?"
Then I lowered my head and whispered to Bingtis: "You said how much blame we bear for this blame, it is obviously something you threw away."
Bingtis chuckled: "You have the nerve to say that you can calculate for yourself which of the Xiling families in the Star Territory throws out the most non-burnable garbage. The antique ruins we have helped you clean up at the border of the God Realm in the past two years are enough to form a group. The Milky Way, you didn’t see the grand scene of representatives of the victimized races lining up at the entrance of the temple to receive relief..."
I couldn't say a word on the spot: "..."
I know very well how many worlds were harmed by the pollutants left over by the old empire, and how many of these worlds were adjacent to the realm of the gods, causing the star domain gods to run around all day long to help clean up the blame. So I was extremely stressed. I buried my head in my crotch and stopped talking.
"Although I don't know what happened," Qian Qian finally finished her string of roasted beans and said, licking her lips, "But weren't you the ones who opened the artifact? It was originally a box for storing dangerous objects. You yourselves Got something out..."
There was a sadness on Dragon Girl's face. I know that she acted impolitely just now due to impulsiveness (coupled with the confusion caused by life and death), but after all, with thousands of years of experience and her own identity here, she is not unreasonable. Human...long, she nodded awkwardly after Qian Qian reminded her: "You are right, it is the greed of mortals that has harmed this world."
"You can't say that," Bingtis scratched his hair and laughed. "Actually, our responsibilities are not small. That thing caused such a big mess, I feel sorry for it."
Zoya stared at Bingtis in shock, making the latter's hair stand on end. Sister Bing scratched her face: "What's dirty on my face? What are you looking at?"
"You..." Zoya stuttered, "Are you apologizing to me? Aren't you a god?"
"That's true, why can't God apologize?" Bingtis rolled his eyes. "We always make mistakes sometimes, and it's not too difficult for parents to admit their mistakes to their children."
I touched Bingtis's arm: "Aren't you talking about the situation?"
"It's really not true," Bingtis said in a low voice, "What happened this time did violate the regulations of the God Realm. We have regulations above. Once the Gods confirm that they cannot survive a certain situation, they must immediately destroy the weapons they carry with them. Keep the sealing devices containing dangerous items. Or destroy the dangerous items on the spot. This is to prevent those sealing devices from being accidentally touched by mortals after your death. Because similar incidents have happened more than once, we have already had regulations on this. Back then, The sentry should not have put the abyss sample box and the report documents together. This was not in compliance with the operating procedures - but I guessed this was because this rule did not exist back then, after all, it was all so many years ago. "
I nodded clearly. In fact, this is quite understandable. Just like the person in charge of transporting weapons has the responsibility to dismantle the key devices of all weapons as soon as possible in case of an accident. This is to prevent the accident from expanding. That sentry back then Keeping a certain container containing abyssal samples together with her report and letting them drift freely in various worlds was not in compliance with safety regulations - it was just that it was too old at that time, and the Protoss's relevant regulations were not perfect enough. . But Bingtis felt that he could not use this as an excuse to shirk the responsibility, so he happily admitted his mistake.
The Gods are such an awkward group: they have an obsessive-compulsive attitude towards "responsibility". As long as they confirm what they should bear, even a female rogue like Bingtis can instantly become a great person. Of course, it's not right to just talk about the Gods. The Xiling Apostles don't seem to be much worse in this regard. Moreover, due to the stubborn nature of the Xiling Apostles, their obsessive-compulsive disorder has become so serious that it is incurable...
"Anyway, let's put aside the question of 'Who is responsible?'" I saw that this kind of historical issue could not be discussed clearly for days and nights, so I quickly waved my hand and changed the topic back, "Sonya is Right? I'm sorry that we have been concealing our identities before - because at that time we didn't know where the artifact was, and we weren't sure what the relationship between you people and the artifact was, so we kept our identities secret to prevent unnecessary complications. Now we already know the artifact It's in the hands of a person named Blood Princess, so can you help us build a bridge so that we can get that thing back?"
Dragon Girl look at us. Suddenly he sighed in a low voice: "I personally have no objection, but I'm afraid Lord Dark Moon will not hand over the artifact, and Princess Blood will only listen to that barbarian. Will you use strong ones?"
We looked at each other for a moment, Bingtis frowned: "We hope it's best not to use violent means, but let's talk about the four of you first. You are such a mess. What happened back then?"
present. With Angeli's addition, we told Suo Ya the information we already had. The other party was silent for a long time before slowly speaking: "What you all know is pretty good, but I'll start from the time when the four of us just met. Bar."
"That was thousands of years ago - the Earth-Moon Bridge is still there, and the Dark Moon people have not been cursed by demons. The power of God has never appeared, and the world was in chaos. In Hessenwood, which is now On the earth, the territories of the four races were closely adjacent to each other. Humans occupied the plains, the mountain barbarians occupied the hills and dangerous rivers, and monsters and elves jointly ruled the forests. As for our dragon race, we were still the overlords of the above-ground world at that time. Asking about the world, occupying the ancient peaks and ruins within these kingdoms, they become their own kingdoms.”
"At that time, I was not the Queen of the Dragon Clan, but just an inconspicuous junior in a branch of the Dragon King's bloodline. Our Dragon Clan has no interest in establishing a country or ruling the ethnic group. The so-called Dragon King is only a nominal leader of the race. Basically, There won’t be much real power in the world - we like to live a casual life. We can move freely and have no interest in even forming a group. Under this tradition, I left the group and found a sufficient place like other young dragons who are about to become adults. I lived on a quiet mountaintop and wandered around freely every day, occasionally flying to nearby human or barbarian territory to frighten the locals or collect some offerings. Those were probably the most leisurely days in my life... Then I was among the barbarian tribes. I met some interesting guys at the border with the human kingdom."
"The first one was a big man who lived alone in the mountains. He was a stupid fool. He lived alone in a wooden house on the mountains and usually made a living by hunting. It was a bad fate for me to meet him, because at that time I I was hungry when I flew over his wooden house. I took away the wild boar that he had just roasted. Then the barbarian followed me on the ground across the entire mountain range. But do you think why he was so persistent? It wasn't because The prey was robbed, but he wanted to remind me that the wild boar was not completely roasted, and eating raw meat before blowing in the air would cause stomach upset. For this reason, he chased me like crazy on the Changqiao Mountains for a whole day!"
A faint smile appeared on Zoya's paralyzed face, but we were dumbfounded and said in unison: "That's so heartless!"
"Yes, he is just short-sighted," Zoya said with a look of reminiscence, "At that time, we liked to call him that, a short-sighted, silly barbarian... But he was really a kind-hearted guy, even though he was a mountain barbarian, and Mountain barbarians are always regarded as bipedal man-eating beasts, but Silly Manzi is the cutest mountain barbarian I have ever seen. He even kept an injured green kingfisher in his messy head. Can you believe it? ? He sat up and slept for a whole week, and he didn't dare to wash his hair until the bird's wings were healed. Back then, Manzi was such a stupid, cute guy, and so kind-hearted that people wanted to slap him away. . Probably because of this 'weak' character, Silly Barbarian was actually exiled to that place by his tribe. He originally had the blood of the barbarian royal family, but he was exiled from the tribe's territory and lived alone. A barren mountain next to the human kingdom...but that guy has never complained about this kind of life."
"The second and third friends I know are a brother and sister. They live at the foot of the mountain where Manzi lives. They are two ordinary human beings. By the way, that place is called Changqiao Mountain—— It is the Changqiao Mountains that you know. It was the place where humans and mountain barbarians meet. At that time, there was a small village at the foot of the mountain. I often flew over that village to scare the villagers below or watch them. The animals were scared by the dragon and ran around for fun. I was really a bad guy at that time, wasn't I? But after doing this many times, I found that there were two guys in the village who were not afraid of me at all... Well, It should be said that they were also afraid, but they had never run away like others, so I was very interested in landing in front of a human village for the first time, watching the very young man and woman coming to me tremblingly. They are a pair of brother and sister. The younger sister is Antill Fournier, the elder brother is Edwinsa... That guy was really handsome back then."
"Brother and sister, what do you want from you?" Qian Qian couldn't wait to interrupt.
"Ah, you have something to do with me," Zoya nodded. As she recalled the past, she could not see the cold and distant facial paralysis on her face at this moment. This made me couldn't help but think that maybe she was exactly the same as she was today thousands of years ago. Completely different personalities. "One thing that shocked me was that stupid young man named Edwinsa... He wanted to create a religion, so he wanted the most powerful creature nearby, which was me, to become the symbol of his religion... …”
We were collectively stunned, even though the story had not yet been linked to the artifact. But everyone's interest was really attracted by it.
Zoya spoke with some emotion about what happened when she and Edwinsa first met: "At that time, the world was in chaos. Except for the dragon race, which could stand alone, other races were fighting endlessly. Every race was in chaos. The civilians of this race have no time to think about anything else on weekdays. The only thing they can think about is filling their stomachs and living one more day in peace. However, Edwin Sa - the young farmer who makes a living by farming in a small border village. But he thought about great plans like daydreams all day long: he wanted to establish a religion, a religion that was completely different from the narrow religious views of all ethnic groups in the world at that time. He wanted every race in the world to believe in the same God. I feel that peace can be ushered in this way... Even as a dragon, I was frightened by that interesting human being. His daydreams were simply too bizarre, too funny, and too inconsistent with his identity - he even You know, you have to worry about three meals a day? But that guy dreams about saving the world all day long!"
"That's the predecessor of the Goddess Sect," Bingtis suddenly said leisurely. "I know who Edwinsa is, the Human Pope...it turns out he was that kind of person in the beginning."
"Yes, the Goddess Religion in the future will be a religion that can be believed by all races in the world and will not reject any believer." Zoya put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "But at first I didn't have any idea about it at all. This daydream held no hope. At that time, Edwin Sa was really a fool, and his idea was not much different from a child's play. But although I did not agree to his invitation, I still I became friends with that brother and sister because... they were fun.”
"Then what?" Qianqian poked her head out from my shoulder, "When will the Blood Princess show up?"
"That will happen later," Zoya shook her head. "Before that, two things that changed the world happened at the same time. The first one was that the mountain barbarians got an 'artifact' from a meteorite that fell near their royal capital. That artifact should be what you are looking for. It was so powerful, but it fell into the hands of the most cruel and greedy barbarian race. As you know what happened next, the mountain barbarians began to invade various races and tried to rule the two planets. The second thing seemed very inconspicuous at the time, but Later, it affected the whole world: Silly Manzi and Antil fell in love...she was Edwinsa's sister."
Qian Qian elongated her voice: "Oh——"
"This was a challenge to tradition at the time." Bingtis said meaningfully.
"Yes, challenging tradition and being deviant can even lead to death, especially when the mountain barbarians have declared war on humans. This is simply asking for death," Zoya said lightly, "Things were soon revealed... humans An executioner was sent to capture Antil. The barbarian royal family also thought it was a great shame for a stupid barbarian to fall in love with a human, so they sent a royal judge to execute the exiled prince. But I got the news first, so I took the stupid barbarian and Ed The Wensa brothers and sisters fled that place. At that time, the barbarians and humans were already fighting inextricably, and other races began to be involved in the war. Not many people still had the energy to chase the two rebellious young people, so We ran to the big forest far away from the mountains relatively easily, where we got help from a small elf tribe (Soyya glanced at Angeli at this point, it seemed that the small elf tribe was the same as Angeli) (related to the elf family), and got acquainted with Lily, the monster scholar who was known as the most wise man in Hessenwood at the time. She is the blood princess you are looking for now."
"Lily..." I was reminiscing about the twists and turns of this story, and then suddenly I felt that the name sounded familiar. "Lily, the monster scholar... is she the one who was very good at studying civilization in the first season?"
"Yes, she is the founder of all the teleportation systems in Redmoon and Hessenwood today. She made those towers. She was also one of the few 'alien' in the world at that time who advocated racial peace. Because of this deviant In fact, she is also very marginalized in her own race, but because of her knowledge, the monsters have to respect her as one of the tribal chiefs: this is also determined by the tradition of the monster tribe, they must respect the most powerful The five types of people who are knowledgeable, the most powerful, the most proficient in magic, have noble blood, and are chosen by the gods as their chiefs, and Lily is the chief of knowledge. It is with Lily's help that we have a temporary place to stay. We lived in the Cat Demon Tribe for a few days, waiting for the war between the barbarians and humans to end. At that time, we thought that this would end soon like the previous wars, but then everything deteriorated rapidly. The barbarians began to The power extracted from the artifacts is becoming more and more dangerous, and they are becoming more and more powerful. Humans have to start to unite with races such as elves and dwarves. Most of the chiefs of the monster beasts have become minions of the barbarians at some point. We Life in the Cat Demon Tribe became increasingly difficult, and in the end even Lily, the chief, could no longer help us. Just when we were about to leave the Demon Beast territory and go to the Dragon Clan’s hermitage to hide for a while, the situation finally got completely out of control: the barbarians lost their lives. After losing control of the artifact, they turned into a plague in the blink of an eye. Then monsters, night demon elves, darkbloods, orcs and other races that were closer to the barbarians were cursed by the demonic power. When we planned to go to the Dragon Clan’s Retreat The day before seeking asylum, my tribe brought bad news - the demonic monsters released by the barbarians washed away Longshan with blood. Almost all the dragon royal family died tragically overnight, and I became the only dragon vein qualified to succeed the position of clan leader." (Unfinished) to be continued...)
