(Okay, I’ve done double updates, so you’re shocked! But don’t be in a hurry to vote for the monthly ticket. It is said that there may be double updates. Just check if there are still tickets for annual works when you have time...)
"The barbarians used the monsters they created to attack Longshan. The power of the artifact made them and those monsters extremely powerful. Even powerful creatures like dragons were defeated by the unexpected attacks. In the end, almost no dragons with royal blood survived. , I became the only dragon vein qualified to inherit the position of clan leader." Zoya told us the story from thousands of years ago. Her tone was already very calm, but I could still see thousands of people from the depths of her eyes. How deep was the disaster that happened years ago left on this dragon queen? "But what is the significance of this qualification as leader? Overnight, my world was turned upside down, and the most powerful race in the world became stormy almost in the blink of an eye. Wandering. The dragon clan has been strong for so long that no one realizes how many fatal weaknesses we have: we are loose, slow, have no country and discipline, and even have a weak concept of army and ethnic group. The barbarians cursed by the devil and several others After losing their usual fear of dragons, each race attacked the dragon territory with a large army. My loose tribesmen were killed one by one, and even the corpses were turned into casting materials for black witchcraft... At the same time, the monster tribe's The situation has also deteriorated rapidly. As I said just now, several of the monster chiefs and most of the leaders of the small tribes have colluded with the barbarians at some point. Lily is only one of the five chiefs, and she is alone. , and was quickly isolated. On the third day after I got the bad news from the tribe, other monster tribes began to attack the cat monster territory. Only then did we discover that the curse of the devil had spread to those monsters - Lily originally She also hoped that the compatriots from other tribes would at least care about their former comrades, but after seeing the demon marks on those monsters, she decisively gave up this attempt. Taking the cat monsters that had not been cursed by the demons, Lily hurriedly joined us. Escaped the forest.”
"After we left the monster territory, we started to receive rumors and battle reports from all over the world. We learned that not only Hessenwood was in chaos, but also demonic power was spreading on the planet Redmoon. There were seven or eight mountain barbarians. has been completely controlled, and the remaining small tribes have either joined the demon army or are about to be defeated by the demon army. In addition, races such as monster beasts and night demon elves that have had contact with the barbarians are also being destroyed by the demon army. A black curse gnaws away, but compared to the mountain barbarians, the situation of other races is slightly better: after all, the plague did not break out centered on their kingdom, so they can still support it for a while."
"Lily has a far-sighted vision than we do. At that time, she had already realized that the disasters facing the world were probably unprecedented. What we were facing were not only natural disasters and man-made disasters, but angry gods - at that time we thought The barbarians drew God's power at will and offended the God, so he made this judgment. Lily told everyone that in this situation, if we rely on a few people to run around and escape hastily, the final result can only be that no one can survive, and everyone who has People with abilities should gather together to stop the source of the disaster - so she started running around to gather the surviving monster tribes, trying to organize an army to fight against the demon curse. And not long after Lily started taking action, Antil... something happened to the peasant girl who has been following us around for more than half a year."
Zoya has been completely immersed in the memories of the past. Her eyes are constantly changing with the memories, as if she has forgotten our existence. At this time, no one interrupts her story. The only one in the room is this last generation. The dragon's deep voice was echoing, and she might have even forgotten why she started to recall these ancient past events in the first place. She just recounted the frivolous era deep in her memory bit by bit - the four ancient heroes once knew nothing about it. The frivolous days of youth.
"Antil is just an ordinary human girl. She is different from us. Silly Barbarian is a born barbarian warrior, Lily is a monster scholar skilled in magic, and I am a naturally powerful dragon. Even Edsavin , at least know a little bit of magic and swordsmanship. Only Antil has neither the talent to learn magic nor the physical fitness to practice martial arts. She has been following us for such a long time in an ordinary body. Finally she couldn't help but got infected. Seriously ill. We tried our best to save her. But we still watched her weaken day by day. In the end, I had to use the special power of the dragon family to slow down her life process. At least let her live one more day, just for this period Over time, that stupid barbarian changed every day, and finally he made a decision that shocked everyone... He wanted to overthrow his father, snatch the artifact, and use the power of the artifact to revive Antiel."
Except for Angeli, all of us sighed neatly: People who don’t know the nature of the artifact may think that the artifact is omnipotent, but we know what the artifact is. It is just a memory with a seal. I found the sample storage box in the abyss. Can this thing be used to save people? The naive mountain barbarian put his hope in an illusory direction.
"Silly Manzi's decision shocked us, but we quickly gained Lily's support," Zoya shook her head slightly as she said this, "Maybe it would have been better if we didn't take such a bold step... But now it's too late to say anything. Before. I have said that Lily is a visionary. She is different from us. She has been in the position of tribal chief for many years. Although she looks like just a little girl, she is the most mature, stable and wise among us. She knew that Silly Manzi's plan coincided with her own plan, so she acted boldly. Not only did she gather the remaining small tribes of demon beasts, but she also looked for those who had not been attacked by demons among races such as orcs and darkbloods. The survivors of the curse, even the mountain barbarians who are shunned by others, are not spared. As long as the "original sin race" has not been cursed by the shadow of the devil, she is her target. These races have been shunned by all over the world because of the original sinners. He was ostracized by his tribe and was in a precarious situation, so he was easily summoned by Lily, who still had some military strength. Then Lily pushed the silly barbarian to the front desk, announced the identity of the exiled barbarian prince, and made up a story: The barbarian prince was exiled because he tried to prevent his father from gaining access to demonic power. He was a righteous leader who made great sacrifices to stop the original sinners. In this way, the small coalition led by Lily had a "righteous" purpose banner."
"While Lily was busy gathering the remnants of the tribe, Edwinsa was also active in the human-led resistance coalition. After several years of experience, that guy has matured a lot and is no longer the country boy full of daydreams. farmer, but he still remembered his original whimsical plan. And this time, he really put it into practice - Edwinsa took advantage of the spread of the devil's curse to preach that it was the barbarians who offended the gods. He suffered various disasters, and these disasters were also a test. People who devoted themselves to believing in the goddess, regardless of race and origin, could be saved in the end. No one believed in him at first, but that guy really had a talent for preaching, and he also had He is a good eloquent in making up stories. After persisting in activities for a while, he actually pulled him into a small sect... In fact, it was quite normal. The situation at that time could not be worse. Countries had no time to care about the lives and deaths of border residents, and Egypt Dewensa started its activities in the border area. Those people who are precarious don't care about distinguishing whether the 'god' really exists. As long as there is a straw, they will desperately grasp it. Even if it is a spiritual support, it will do. Dewensa's 'church' has at least acted as a leader, allowing the common people to come together and figure out how to survive. In an era when human life is as cheap as grass, as long as they can live one more day, the people will not mind who they kneel to. of."
"Then what are you doing?" I couldn't help but interrupt. Zoya talked for a long time, but she didn't mention much about her own affairs.
"Me? I was the most useless one at that time," Zoya laughed self-deprecatingly. "I had no strength, but I was as ignorant as a child. At first, I followed Silly Manzi and Lily to help rescue those who were The scattered tribe survivors, and then followed Edwinsa stupidly running around, acting as some kind of religious idol - you must have never imagined that the Goddess Cult initially worshiped not a goddess, but a dragon. Finally, I finally After being reminded by Lily, she knew that she should do something truly valuable, and she suddenly ran to look for her own kind. After being attacked by the barbarians, the dragons suffered heavy losses, and some of their kind tried to fight back. But the three or five loose dragons went to attack The barbarian army could only show off its power in the first few minutes. Many of the same tribe lost their lives in this blind revenge, while most of the remaining dragon tribes hid. We have been the overlord of the sky for too long. For millions of years No one has ever challenged the authority of the Dragon Clan, so that after a group of creatures that could challenge the dragons really appeared, we were all helpless. Some Dragon Clan tried in vain to harass the barbarian army, and some Dragon Clan simply hid in the mountains and waited for peace in the world. Some dragons even migrated to the northern ice fields to prepare for hibernation, which is ridiculous... Under such circumstances, I found them one by one. My royal bloodline was more or less useful, and they were willing to follow me in name only. The Dragon King returned to the settlement, and it took me half a year to bring the loose dragon clan together - for the first and last time in history, the dragon clan united as a whole, and we formed the Dragon Kingdom and vowed revenge."
"Using the method I learned from Lily, I tried to make the dragon form an army, train the tribesmen to act in groups, and let them know the concept of tactics. Then, I used the dragon's deterrent effect on the remaining ordinary races to send many envoys to various places. Tribe, helping Edwinsa's sect build momentum or publicizing the 'Tribal Alliance' led by Barbarian, slowly allowing these two groups of originally hostile forces to unite to fight against the increasingly powerful demon army. The four of us gradually became Now... people have gradually forgotten our names. I am called the Holy King of the Dragon Clan, the silly barbarian is called the Blood Prince, and Edwinsa is starting to be called by more and more people, even by the princes and nobles of various countries. The Pope, Lily also gave herself a nickname, she called herself Blood Princess - as you may have guessed, that girl fell in love with the stupid barbarian wishfully, and even the nickname she gave herself was to match that idiot. But Barbarian’s heart is entirely focused on Antil, the two of them... have a bad fate."
Qian Qian couldn't help but exhale and muttered: "It's really not the same as what is said in the book."
"I said that Edwinsa is a guy who is very good at making up stories," Zoya smiled faintly, "most of what is said in the Goddess Scripture and even some remaining ancient books are made up by that guy. He Thousands of years of careful calculation have almost completely covered up the history of this world. Sometimes I also wonder where the young farmer who looked stupid and swore under my nose thousands of years ago that he would save the world went, and why He will become a trickster who deceives the world. Why did the stupid barbarian turn into the paranoid Lord Dark Moon? Why am I so decadent... Oh, forget it, it's useless to think about this. Do you still want to continue to listen to me? story?"
Everyone nodded quickly.
Zoya continued: "The rest of the story is simple. We gathered almost all the races in the world that we could win over and formed a coalition to launch a decisive battle against those who were cursed by the devil. It was a brutal battle. After fighting for seven days and seven nights, the two planets were littered with corpses... Finally, the four of us finally entered the enemy's base camp and saw the barbarian king who had been completely turned into a monster. It was incredible. I still can't believe us. We defeated the huge monster. He stood taller than a clock tower, his skin was nearly invulnerable, and he was so strong that he could tear a dragon to pieces with his bare hands. But a magical device created by Lily worked smoothly, and we made the connection between the monster and the artifact temporary There was a break for a few seconds. In these seconds, Manzi chopped off his father's head with a knife... I remember that scene more clearly than a nightmare. The head rolled to the ground, one side burned by black flames. While cursing viciously, he finally cursed Silly Manzi: 'A rebellious son who kills his father will never have peace, and you will end up with the same fate.' Cursing loudly like this, the monster finally died, and the artifact exploded from his heart. Come out… we win.”
"Now that I think about it, the curse left by the devil has indeed come true," Zoya sighed softly. "We obtained the artifact, ended the tyrant's rule, and destroyed the original sinner's monster army and their war machine, but the war is not over at all. The shadow of the devil is still spreading everywhere. We understood the whole thing wrong from the beginning , mistakenly believed that as long as they killed the barbarian king and prevented him from continuing to draw energy from the artifact, they could quickly destroy the army of the original sinners. As a result, the demon shadows would not just disappear at all. They would live forever and jump from a corpse. When we get to another corpse, only the light released from the artifact can annihilate those shadows. But we don’t know how that thing is used. So we can only do nothing. At this time, the barbarian decided to try to use the power of the artifact to save Antiel. Come back - what we thought at the time was that even if we couldn't destroy the demonic shadow, we should be able to at least save one person."
"How did you save it?" Bingtis stepped forward curiously, "As far as I know, that thing is not a medical device at all."
"We found the place where wizards held rituals underground in the barbarian palace. It was the facility they originally used to extract the power of artifacts." Zoya bit her lips, seeming to weigh whether she could say these things directly in front of the gods, but In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "We found the barbarian dark wizards who participated in the ceremony and asked them to do it again and pour the last bit of light that could be squeezed out of the artifact directly into Antir's body."
"What a mess!!" Bingtis almost jumped up, "You are seeking death! This person will be burned to death by the Holy Light even if he doesn't die!"
Zoya glanced at Bingtis quietly: "But she woke up at that time."
Qian Qian couldn't wait to get closer: "Is it really cured?"
"No, it was not Antiel who woke up, but the goddess." Zoya sighed, looking pointedly at Alaya. "She has been occupied by another soul lodged in the artifact. When the barbarian came to As she ran over, Antiel summoned a lightsaber and pierced the barbarian's chest."
I feel like I shouldn’t just have casually said that the artifact was Alaya’s lost thing. I just wanted to fool him. Now people think it’s Alaya’s will left in the artifact that controls Antiel.
There was a moment of silence in the room, and no one spoke. Finally, Qian Qian couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Why is this?"
"If I guessed it right," Bingtis rubbed his forehead and analyzed, "it's not that there is any soul residing in the artifact, but that Antiel is controlled by the will of the star field and follows the Holy Light in a state of mindlessness and godlessness. Guidance, taking the destruction of the Abyss as a task, just like a soulless weapon. And the only reason why she took action against the Barbarian was because the latter was infected by the Abyss... He personally killed the previous generation of Barbarian King, and the infection must have occurred at that time occurring."
"That's right," Zoya nodded, "It was only later that we found out that Barbarian had also been contaminated by the shadow of the devil, but he resisted with his own will, but Antiel still regarded Barbarian as an enemy under the control of the artifact. …The accident just happened.”
"Relying on your own will to resist the abyss," Bingtis clicked his tongue, "Fortunately it is an inert abyss, and there is only a little residual breath, otherwise who would believe it. But no matter what, that barbarian is also a fierce man. Let me guess. Guess - that barbarian didn't really die at that time, otherwise there wouldn't have been the Dark Moon War that happens every few hundred years."
"Well, Barbarian is indeed not dead. I don't know whether to cry or laugh. The vitality of people contaminated by the shadow of the devil will be extremely tenacious. Barbarian survived like this, but we no longer dare to let him contact Antiel. Can keep the two of them far apart. Edwinsa and Lily tried many methods to wake up Antil, but it was of no use. After several failures, Lily came to the conclusion: Antil It has been integrated with the artifact. Although they have no contact, the former has become an extension of the latter. This connection can be cut off with mortal power, and even if it can be cut off, Antill will die immediately."
"So you just make mistakes," I connected all the clues in an instant, "The Goddess Cult finally has a real goddess - you let Antiel destroy those abyss... Well, I mean the shadow of the devil, you Let Antil deal with that thing, right?"
Zoya nodded: "After being controlled by the artifact, Antil is no longer like a human being. She doesn't eat, drink or talk. We don't know how to communicate with her, or even whether we can continue to regard her as a friend, but we Slowly discovered how to influence her actions: As long as there is demonic power nearby, Antill will attack. The Holy Light Sword in her hand is the only thing that can truly destroy those shadows. So you can guess what happens next. When it arrived, Edwinsa took her goddess sister and began to eliminate demons all over the world. This was the rise of the Goddess Cult."
The truth of this ancient secret was finally revealed, and everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath. I really didn't expect that the history of this world would be so complicated. If the events that Zoya had experienced could be unfolded, it might almost be called an epic.
But after knowing the truth about the first Dark Moon War, I found that there were still many things that had not been explained clearly, so I thought I would take this opportunity to ask them all: "What happened in the subsequent Dark Moon War? And then Something else happened, why do you want to separate the two planets like this?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
