Chapter 115: Dragon Demon (7)
When Yuna, the shopkeeper and the new name Hurricane arrived at the VIP area, Yuna realized that this VIP area was really different from the ordinary hall outside.
The hall outside does not have any luxurious decorations, it is all in a realistic style. However, despite the blessing of magic, the light is also biased towards dark yellow. But this VIP area is completely different. As soon as she entered this VIP area, Yuna subconsciously covered her eyes. Because the lights in this VIP area are too dazzling. After a few seconds of relief, Yuna took a closer look at the full appearance of the VIP area.
As with the general area outside, there is also a small booth. But just from the stand, there is a world of difference. The booths in the general area were simply made of wood, decorated with a layer of red cloth. But this was not the case at all at the booth in the VIP room. The stands here are made entirely of pure white marble. Although there was no red cloth for decoration, on the background wall of the booth, a very strange-looking creature was carved. The creature resembled a giant snake that snaked in a sinuous shape over the nearby background wall.
But if you take a closer look, you can see how different this animal and snake seem to be. Gradually, Yuna came to the front of the booth and found that the animal, which she had previously called a snake, had two huge horns on its head, which looked similar to the horns of a deer, but seemed to be shorter. The difference is that this snake-like thing has scales carved all over its body, from head to tail. And the biggest difference between this creature and ordinary snakes is that this animal actually has five claws. It's like a chicken's paw, but it's obviously much more majestic. On its head, it has two whiskers almost as long as its claws, and its mouth has sharp fangs. And this is something that ordinary snakes simply can't have.
"It's a dragon. The shopkeeper walked up to Yuna and whispered to Yuna.
"What? You're talking about dragons?" Yuna didn't understand what the shopkeeper meant, because Yuna, the dragon of this world, was all too familiar. But at this moment, the female shopkeeper said what kind of dragon this was, which made Yuna feel very puzzled. Is this really a dragon?
"Yes, this is a dragon. The shopkeeper said casually, as if it was normal for her to say that the things carved on the background wall were dragons, as if in the worldview of the shopkeeper, this was the only thing in the world. "Of course, it's a world away from what you think dragons are. It can be said that this dragon and the legendary dragon are two completely different creatures, and the legendary dragon looks like a warrior, but the dragon we know, that is, the dragon carved by our family is an omnipotent magician. Although it may not be very good at hand-to-hand combat compared to the legendary dragons today, if compared to the real strength, then the legendary dragons can only be slaughtered unilaterally. ”
Well, here's what really puzzled Yuna. "How do you know this?"
"How do I know this. The shopkeeper repeated Yuna's question and laughed. But it's a very ladylike laugh. "Yuna, you believe me, so you told me all your secrets. Then I suppose I don't have any reservations about you. Yuna, do you know a legend that we were not human in the first place, and we became this new human race after we wiped out all the humans who used to rule this world hundreds of thousands of years ago? Yuna, I wonder if you know such legends?"
Of course, Yuna knows this legend. And Yuna knows more than the female shopkeeper's words, because she has met several beings who have a detailed understanding of the history of this continent while wandering around the continent. And through them, they learned that the history of this world was just like a legend, and that they were not native to this world, or to some extent. Because they are actually the same species as the previous humans, but for some reason, they became a new species different from the previous humans, and eventually replaced the status of the previous humans and became a new human. And such a legend, Yuna has also been confirmed by many parties, so that we can determine the tragic history that happened more than 300,000 years ago. "Of course I know, it's not a legend. But my question is, how the hell do you know these things?"
"Yuna, my name is Lilith. The female shopkeeper unexpectedly did not tell her the reason, but asked in a very sad tone: "Madam, do you know what Lilith means in this world?"
Yuna was shocked. Naturally, she knew what Lilith represented in this world. Lilith, in fact, is just another name. What he really means is people who shouldn't exist in this world. Lilith has many meanings, but no matter which one of them has an impact on the world, it is enough to make the whole world feel good. "Are you Lilith?" Yuna asked, "Tell me which one you are!"
"Our family is the ancestor of all Lilith. Lilith smiled bitterly and said, "I'm the human before I just told you. ”
"Oh my God, what the hell are you talking about?" Yuna exclaimed, "The previous generation, the human race, has obviously been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. Now you say that you are the previous generation of humans, are you bullying me for not being knowledgeable?"
"No, Yuna. Lilith bowed her head. "Yuna, I can assure God that from the moment I met you, I have never lied to you once. And I never told anyone about it this time. I'm doing this because I don't think you have any reservations about me, so I don't want to hide anything from you. That's right, not just me, but my family, whose ancestors were the humans of the previous generation. ”
"Are you living fossils?"
"No, we're not fossils. We are living human beings who exist in this world, real human beings. ”
"Hahaha, how is this possible? Those humans have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. Will you travel through time?"
"No, of course it can't be. If we could travel through time and space, we would choose to travel through the early days of the catastrophe, not hundreds of thousands of years later. ”
"It's funny. Yuna found a remote corner to sit down, and this is where the VIP room is different from the ordinary room. You know, there aren't many seats in the general room. But now, even though it is crowded with about one or two hundred people, there are still empty seats everywhere. "Well, I believe in you. Yuna said, "I'm really interested in hearing about that history hundreds of thousands of years ago. ”
Lilith came to Yuna's side and sat down, after instructing a nearby waiter to bring a glass of wine. began to talk about that paragraph, which has been sealed in the dust for hundreds of thousands of years.
Not long after I was born, I was forcibly instilled with such a concept by my family, even though I was illiterate. That is, except for the people of the family who live in this world, everyone else is an odious usurper. This world was supposed to be ruled by us, and it had been ruled for hundreds of thousands of years. However, a new humanity has arrived. What I'm talking about is the human beings who live in this world right now. They are completely new humans compared to us. Their appearance is a catastrophe for us. For unknown reasons, the new human beings, who were born out of our human beings, suddenly appeared and fed on us humans. Because at that time, we human beings had already evolved a highly developed civilization, and most of these so-called new humans were just animals with no brains in the shell of our human beings. We were a little caught off guard at first, but the situation quickly stabilized. Because of our advanced civilization, we quickly oppressed these new humans into a remote ravine. But suddenly things went wrong one day. Overnight, new humans with a high degree of intelligence suddenly appeared, hopefully tens of thousands, who rushed to our ambush from all directions, and put hundreds of thousands of our troops who were ready to ambush them under double encirclement. These new humans have one characteristic. That is, those who have been bitten by these new humans will be assimilated into new humans in the shortest minute and will be enemies of us. In this way, our army of tens of thousands of people, who have been in a tug-of-war with the new humans for ten years, have either been reduced to their food or become a member of the new humans. Since that fiasco, humanity has gradually lost the ability to resist the new humans. Finally, a few decades later, the humans who originally lived on the entire continent ceased to exist. Over the next 100,000 years, due to a lack of food, the new humans who exclusively fed on humans suffered a great famine and were on the verge of extinction. However, at this time, they were once only able to feed on humans, but they began to change their recipes.
In the beginning, they ate only their own kind, the new humans themselves. If that's the case, of course, that's fine. However, when the total population of the new humans was reduced to less than a few hundred, they changed their recipes once again. They no longer feed on their own kind, but on the animals that have appeared in the world. Over time, they were even able to grow crops in the fields. This is really funny. For the same is how those who lived before them lived. Instead, they're doing things they've missed countless times before in a new capacity.
Yuna listened quietly, not interrupting what Lilith was saying. After Lilith finished speaking, Yuna asked, "Then the question is, didn't you say that the previous human race was extinct, why did you exist in this world, and how did your family exist in this world?"
"Yuna, I've told you early on that our roots are on the island. And the islands are places that your new humans would never have been able to reach before. ”
"How is that possible, you are wrong. Yuna corrected, "Now our human footprints have spread to all corners of this world, and some have even reached Dragon Island, the hometown of the legendary dragon. Although this was thousands of years ago, according to my research, this rumor is true. ”
Lilith laughed, "Yuna, so the current human expansion of this world is limited to this, some of the oceans around this world?"
"Isn't that enough?" Yuna looked a little puzzled. "Isn't Dragon Island the end of this world?"
"Of course it's not the end!" Lilith accentuated: "This is what I think makes me feel ashamed of the current human beings in this world! Because hundreds of thousands of years have passed, but the current human knowledge is still only limited to this continent! For the rest of this continent, they call it the end of the continent instead of having the courage to explore!" After drinking the liquor in the glass in one gulp, his mood recovered a little, and then he said: "Yuna, this world is not just one continent. ”
"What? What did you say?" Yuna immediately stood up, stared at Lilith and asked, "Are you lying to me? How could such a thing happen? Since ancient times, countless generations of explorers have searched for the end of the world, and finally they all think that there is only this continent in this world!"
Lilith shook her head at Yuna suddenly. "Yuna, that's not right. Lilith said, "According to our records, there were originally seven continents in this world. After the extinction of our generation, the new humans did not have higher intelligence and creativity for a long time, so the environment changed. Over time, the seven continents have gradually merged into two. ”
"What? You mean there's another continent in this world? How is that possible?"
"Yuna, I swear every word I say to you is true. Lilith also stood up and said to Yuna sincerely, "So I want you to believe me. With the exception of a pirate who has recently popped up calling himself Lao Mai, we have the most developed shipping industry in the entire world. ”
