Volume 1 [Flame Chapter] Dragon Death Chapter 108 Dusty History (3)
Following the footsteps of the young man in front of him, stepping through the same verdant air, land and ground, Ye Gu was already in front of the palace with a strong dragon atmosphere.
"I haven't asked for your name or your identity yet. Can you tell me?" Ye Gu asked, standing behind the young man.
However, the young man did not answer him immediately, but once again stretched out his palm from the black robe and aimed at the palace gate in front of him.
"If you dragons want to keep the mystery, you can assume that I never asked. Yegu added.
"Oh no, I didn't want to keep anything mysterious. It's just that the gate of this palace needs to be opened with the only spirit I have left, and I'll tell you later. The young man said, sending out a unique purple magic source power from his hand.
Under the convergence and impact of the demonic power, the dragon gate of the magnificent palace started from the middle and slowly retreated to both sides.
Rumble!
The sound was deafening, but it didn't stir up any dust. Unlike the Ruins Tower, the small dragon realm in the southern capital still seems much purer.
"Come in first. The young man urged the stunned Ye Gu in a slightly weak voice, and walked straight to the center of the palace.
Along the gate, Ye Gu looked into the palace, and the purple and black environment, the slightly old empire-style buildings, and the lights hanging high above his head did not give him a sense of novelty.
On the contrary, it is similar to the imperial tomb in the depths of the empire in the imperial capital, and it does not seem very wide (compared to the imperial capital architecture), which still brings him an indescribable sense of oppression.
"That's my name and identity. For special reasons, I can't tell you personally. Since you can get here through the plane of the Ruins Tower, you must be able to read the words on it. The young man said, pointing to the stone slab closest to the door.
Looking along the stone slab, Ye Gu noticed the pattern below the palace.
Counting from the left-hand side of his entrance, around the base of the palace, were twenty huge stone slabs erected, which surrounded the whole palace like tombstones.
In addition, these tablets have a purple background with less obvious green text, making it difficult to pay attention to the text immediately.
Fortunately, when Ye Gu walked onto the first stone tablet that the boy pointed out to him, the words on it emitted an extremely strong green light. This green color was all too familiar to him, it was the appearance of the wall in the ruins tower just now.
"Dragon Death, a dragon clan born from the only remaining strength after the Dragon War. Born in 194 of the Dragon Yuan Dynasty, he died in an unknown time and space. Since the defeat of the dragons, there are only a few remaining members of the dragons, and most of them have been slaughtered. And the rest, relying on the soul to maintain the last flame of the dragon clan in the other face dragon realm. It has been more than 400 years. For 400 years, the dragon corpse has guarded this place alone, but in fact, there is no possibility of rebirth for any dragon clan here. Dragon Yuan 8696, with ......"
"How can this be?" Ye Gu said in surprise.
As Ye Gu read the words, the green light on the stone slab kept flickering, never stopping. But when he was nearing the end of his reading, a few characters flashed in the empty space beneath the stone slab. There were only two people here, he and the dragon boy named Long Yan in front of him, and there was no one else. What kind of force is this like a continuation of the text?
"The tablets here record information about the dead dragons. In the past 400 years, I have been on the verge of life and death, and naturally it will be updated according to what is happening in reality. Every stone slab here has the life of a dragon here in Nandu, and I believe that after you finish reading, you will have an obsession with what you want. Before that, though, you have to ask your heart, what exactly do you want?" said Long Yan, walking over to Ye Gu's side and motioning for him to continue looking down.
"That's right. In my heart, naturally, I want to stop Long Qing and not let the dragon clan reappear. Even if there is a dragon standing by my side now, I will not change my essential goal. Ye Gu said in a low voice, turning to look at the second stone slab.
"Dragon, born in the eighth year of the Dragon Yuan, died in the Dragon War. At the last moment of his death, he saved the royal family of the Flame Empire who were affected by the power of the demonic source. He is also a descendant of the dragon family, and he persevered until the last moment in a crusade after the Dragon War. ”
"Who is this dragon room?How much does the royal family of the Fire Empire have to do with the dragon clan?" After reading this, Ye Gu turned around and asked.
"Look down and you'll see. Long Yan replied.
The third slate.
"The name of the dragon, born in the year 7912 of the Dragon Yuan. Died in a dragon war. ”
"Why is this the end of this?" Ye Gu wondered.
"The clans that participated in the Dragon War are basically like this. Many of them, from the moment they were born, were preparing for this big war. They hadn't done anything outstanding, and they hadn't had much of a track outside of the war, and the people recorded in the Nandu Dragon Realm weren't actually very important, so naturally he only had this information. Long Yan replied, reaching out to the seventh slate.
However, Ye Gu did not look at it according to his instructions, but looked at it one after another in order.
However, as indicated by the Dragon's Death, the contents of the fourth to sixth blocks are the same as those shown in the third block, except for the difference in name.
He shook his head and looked at the seventh slate.
"Long Ming, born in the year 7732 of the Dragon Yuan, died in the Dragon War. As one of the five Davids of the Dragons in the Southeast Sanctuary, he tried to make peace with humans before the war. But things backfired, and when the peace talks were about to succeed, a dragon war broke out in the center of the Holy Capital. In the early days, under the alliance of the dragon clan led by him, relying on the power of the Dark King, he successively captured many cities in the central part of the country. But due to the onslaught of humans, it finally dissipated here. ”
"Sanctuary, peace talks, coalition forces, Dark King, what are these?" Ye Gu wondered.
"The Sanctuary is the territory we divided when we ruled the continent. Equivalent to the country you are in now. At the time when most of the human race was subservient to us, the entire continent was divided into nine sacred domains, and because our continent was a pan-continent, it was divided according to the direction. It is divided into five basic sacred areas: southeast, northwest, and middle. The Northeast, Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest are four large and small sanctuary areas. A total of nine dragon clan leaders have maintained the basic peace and stability of the continent for tens of thousands of years. ”
"Did these nine leaders all die in the Dragon War in the end?"
"That's right, and even the soul has been completely annihilated. Long Yan replied in a deep voice.
At the same time, there was also a trace of sorrow in his eyes, which had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
"However, the outbreak of the Dragon War is indeed an accident, and it is also a time when it should never happen. At that time, if it weren't for the Dark King, we would have made a big deal with humans to give up some of the place for humans to live and multiply, or even leave here and escape to the legendary lands of the world. But the reality is that any decision made by our leaders now seems wrong. ”
Long Yan said, looking up at the top of the palace, and after taking a deep breath, he continued.
"About 20,000 years ago, we discovered that once the continents were in peace and stability, the rate of human reproduction would increase exponentially. What was originally a desolate territory has evolved into a thriving town in less than a hundred years. Because of this, for 20,000 years, human beings have been rebelling against us. Before the Dragon War, only the central, southeastern, and western parts of the Nine Sacred Domains actually existed, and the human race had already occupied a certain advantage. If it weren't for the oppression of racial power, our rule would have been gone 10,000 years ago. It is for this reason that our leader chose to unite with the Dark King and wage the war against humanity five hundred years ago. ”
"So, is this a war to reclaim dominance? But there is no mention of dragons in the Empire's recounting of the history of the former Empire. Ye Gu said.
"Our subversion was 20,000 years ago, in fact, 10,000 years ago, humanity was already fighting against us. Naturally, many countries and regimes have been formed, and neither of our two races is willing to write too much about each other's contents. ”
"Yes. What about the peace talks and coalition forces of the Dragon War?" Ye Gu continued to ask.
"Actually, when we dragons coexist with humans, we generally live as humans. Therefore, before the war broke out, Long Ming went to peace talks in the face of human beings, hoping to maintain the last bit of peace on the mainland. Unfortunately, the leader's decisions are always greater than the expectations of our men, even if we are right. Therefore, after the outbreak of the war, Long Ming could only lead the dragon clan to fight. At first, we fought in the form of humans, but as human weapons became more advanced, it was worth awakening the power of the whole race and turning into dragons. In fact, many humans have the misconception that dragons will always maintain their huge size and suppress everything. But the larger the body, the more energy and magic it needs, and the more difficult it is to maintain it for a long time. In essence, dragons are just humans who can incarnate. ”
"That's right. So I can understand the legend that the royal family of the Fire Empire has dragon blood. Ye Gu nodded.
"The early emperor of the Flame Empire had long been united with one of our leaders. He had always been against the war, but because we had become the aggressor side, he was on the defensive, so he had to fight us. Otherwise, he is a staunch alliance of the dragons. It's a pity. Long Yan said gloomily.
"Indeed, no one wants war. Let's talk about the Dark King. Ye Gu continued.
"Actually, for the Dark King, I don't know much here. I was born in the late stages of the war, and few of the remaining remnants of my clan would mention him. All I know is that he has tempted us down the road of no return. ”
The dragon's reply was full of anger, but this anger was then replaced by a sadness.
After taking another deep breath, Long Yan pointed to the stone slab in the middle and said, "You can skip the other slabs there, it records the only thing related to the leader of the Southeast Sanctuary here. ”
