Volume 1 The Dragon's Death Chapter 15 The Dragon's Words (2)
Indeed, after the great changes in the western realm, the entire Flame Empire was in chaos. It is not that he is afraid that the loss of the Western Frontier will destroy the Flame Empire, but that he is afraid that the fall of the Western Frontier will become the fuse of the huge powder keg of the Flame Empire, and become the fuse of the fire.
Within three days of the Western Frontier Movement, it rained heavily for three days in the western part of the Flame Empire. Finally, at the dawn of the fourth day, the first rays of sunshine of the Flame Empire were ushered in.
The depths of the Imperial Capital of the Flame Empire.
It was still the deep part of the previous palace, and it was still the deep road, leading directly to the deepest part of the capital and palace of the Fire Empire.
The little emperor of the Flame Empire was holding a book, followed by his prime minister. The little emperor's pace was very fast, and there was a happy look on his face.
As the little emperor of the Flame Empire inserted the scepter in his hand, the door to the deepest part of the palace slowly opened. Then, with a wave of the little emperor's hand, the surrounding guards gradually retreated, hiding in the darkness. The depths of the Flame Empire, as before, were as dark and deep as ever.
After entering the palace, the little emperor went straight to the very center of the palace. In the center of the palace is a huge statue carved with a mighty general. The general held a sharp sword in his hand, and a large dark black stone stuck in the top of the sword. The color of the statue is like steel, but the boulder on the top of the sword is a spherical dark black, like obsidian, and it glows slightly.
The little emperor walked to the statue again, raised the scepter in his hand, and recited the same incantation as the last time he entered here, and behind him was still Lin Zhao, the prime minister of the Flame Empire.
This time was different from the last time, and it was not only the scepter that accompanied the little emperor, but also the ancient book.
"Do you know what this is?" the little emperor asked Prime Minister Lin Zhao, waving the book in his hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know. Lin Zhao replied, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.
"Naturally, you won't know that the content of this book is all legends that are missing from our continent. As he spoke, he put the ancient book on the stone platform next to him, walked slowly to the stone bench next to him, and sat down.
"The book is called "The Secret Book", and it is about what happened in the continent where we lived 500 to 1,000 years ago. The little emperor said, handed the book to Lin Zhao, and continued to talk about the contents of the book.
Chapters 6 to 10 of Book I refer to the most valuable parts of the book. It's about an unidentified battle five hundred years ago. The reason for this is that the cause of the war is unknown, the magic power used, and even the outcome is unknown. And the only thing that is clear is that five hundred years ago, the dragons lived in large numbers in this continent. After the war, the dragon became a legend. ”
"But the royal family of our Fire Empire is all descended from dragons. The little emperor interrupted Lin Zhao's words and talked about his royal family.
"The Flame Empire, founded in the Flame City four hundred years ago. Yancheng was originally at our feet. At that time, the continent, especially in the East, was divided. And my ancestors used the demonic power of this Flame City to gradually annex the surrounding countries and establish the current Flame Empire. However, the source power of the flame demon in the Yan City has long since dissipated. People no longer want to call it Yancheng, and generally call it the imperial capital. The imperial capital is not bad, Prime Minister, do you say?" After proudly telling the history of the Flame Empire, the little emperor asked Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao nodded, and continued to talk about the content in the "Secret Book".
"In the war five hundred years ago, on one side was the Dark King, who controlled half of the land on the mainland, and on the other side, it was the territory controlled by the monarchs of various places, such as the Yan Monarch, the Han Monarch, the Western Monarch, and the Holy Monarch. The Dark King unites the dragons, and the humans are helped by the ancient gods, the power of the gods perfectly restrains the dragon, and the power of light perfectly restrains the darkness. Therefore, the eleventh chapter of the "Dark Book" says: The dragon is combined with the darkness, and all are damaged by the light, and the world of mankind will be in the future, and the world of demons has fallen.
After this, a war broke out between the humans and the Dark King, who was sealed by the humans. Humans searched the entire continent after the war, but found no trace of the dragon. According to legend, at the moment of final destruction, the dragon gave its power to Yanjun. And Yan Jun protected the last few children of the dragon clan. ”
In the face of Lin Zhao's narration, the little emperor did not deny that part of the content in "Secret Book" was consistent with the epic circulated by the royal family of the Fire Empire. Therefore, there is no need for him to deny it, on the contrary, he must use the power of the Flame Empire and the remnants of the dragons of its royal family to integrate the Flame Empire and even fulfill the little emperor's more ambitious dreams.
"The rest of the book is what surprised me. The little emperor coughed a few times and continued.
This is the case in chapters 15-17 of Book 2. The Dark King is actually a mission, or a reincarnation. When the light is strong, darkness must come and save the burned soul, and when the darkness is strong, the light must come and save the frozen soul. Therefore, the Dark King is a reincarnation, he only follows the laws of ancient times, and only maintains the balance of this already restless world. He didn't dare to take the darkness to the extreme, nor did he dare to let the light take it to the extreme. He could only find the point in this intertwining of light and darkness, the point where balance returned. Lin Zhao said, and at the same time sighed deeply and continued.
"Your Majesty, do you really believe what this book says? If you really believe it, when we find it, is it the time for darkness to come again?" Lin Zhao asked the little emperor, who did not answer Lin Zhao directly, but continued to tell the story after the war.
"The power of the Dark King has been completely reduced, and his body has turned into five spirit stones, which are kept by the five most powerful countries in the continent. The Yanding Stone is under the control of our Yanhuo Empire, the Dark Stone is under the control of the Han Kingdom in the north that is now in a civil war, the Ming Dingshi is under the control of the Holy Kingdom in the center of the continent, and the Yuanding Stone is under the control of the Western Powers and is missing. As for the last Lingding Stone, it was left in the deep palace of the Imperial Puguo in the west, which is known as the end of the world. It's just that our Flame Empire hasn't sent envoys to the west of the continent for a long time to understand their current situation. The little emperor said, stood up, and looked at the statue in front of him.
"Do you want the minister to send an envoy ......" Lin Zhao's words were denied by the little emperor before he finished speaking.
"Longqing is the key now, and the key to Longqing is the Dragon Realm. Only the power of the Yan Ding Stone in our hands can open the Dragon Realm in our capital city when Longqing is in the time of Longqing. The power that our Flame Empire has hidden for many years should be released at one time. The little emperor looked at the statue in front of him, and his face couldn't help but leak a happy expression.
It's just that he didn't see Lin Zhao clearly in this slightly dim place, because Lin Zhao's face was full of worry, worry about the future of the empire.
