Chapter 6: A Dark History
In the afternoon, Du Yueming officially arranged for Fang Delin to move to his apartment.
The apartment has three floors, and Fang Delin's room is arranged in the second bedroom on the second floor. The attic and master bedroom still belong to Du Yueming, although the master bedroom on the second floor is spacious and comfortable, but Du Yueming, who loves to read knights and magic novels, has a different feeling for the attic, so most of the time he still chooses to stay alone in the attic on the top floor.
In a daze, reading a book, or sitting cross-legged trying to operate and cultivate the basic fighting qi.
According to the agreement with Li Sien, in the week before the start of school, in order to ensure that Du Yueming becomes an excellent heir, the two are said to come to give professional guidance to Du Yueming.
Du Yueming faintly felt that nothing good would happen.
At nightfall. Du Yueming waited quietly in the attic.
The moonlight on the western continent is always exceptionally bright, and through the original wooden windows, the attic is covered with a very hidden color. A night breeze blew in, and the dark curtains and candles on the silver candlesticks swayed gently.
Think about the killer who suddenly popped up last night, and it also came out of this atmosphere, so today......
In the story, it seems that as soon as the wind blows outside the window, it is a sign that someone will come out.
Sure enough.
In the blink of an eye, Lison and Lin Yuetong appeared in front of Du Yueming out of thin air.
"I said, how did you come out as quietly as the night wind?" Du Yueming couldn't help but complain as he looked at the two people who flashed out.
"When you have cultivated to a certain level, this is the most basic operation. Reehn explained unhurriedly.
"Okay, okay. Du Yueming spread his hands.
Several people still sat down facing each other in the same position as last night.
"I'll teach you the first lesson. "Reesen.
"Okay. Then what are you going to teach me? Is it a secret skill exclusive to the family?" Du Yueming was a little expectant, what would this man who looked like he had an extraordinary temperament and was quite mysterious and powerful teach him.
"No, no, no. Not these. I've been a clerical worker in my family for quite some time, so I'm teaching you a culture class. β
"Cultural class?" Du Yueming had a "that's it" expression.
"Although it is said that the world is dominated by power. But don't underestimate the cultural class. In any academy in the world, in addition to the necessary cultivation courses, cultural courses are also compulsory. Reeson stood up and snapped his fingers.
The attic was instantly enveloped in a black-red mist, which at first was as thin as a light veil and almost transparent in the moonlight. In another second, it suddenly became intense, engulfing all the sight.
When his vision recovered, Du Yueming was the only one left in front of him. The place is no longer your own attic, but a chaotic space.
"The first lesson I'm going to take today is history. In fact, our definition of history is more appropriate to say about the perception of the world. Du Yueming was still in a trance, and Lisen's voice sounded clearly, and he found that he heard it very clearly, and there was no trace of distraction in his heart. This space seems to have a wonderful ability to focus.
"Cognitive ...... about this world," Du Yueming muttered.
"That's right. Then please tell me everything you know about the world. β
"This is a world where magic and fighting coexist, and there are various races on the continent, gods and demons dance together in the cradle of history, there are wonderful legends, and the alchemy industry is also highly developed...... So it's a time of steam and fog. Du Yueming thought for a moment and replied.
"I guess I heard it from the troubadour, but there is something to be desired. Reisen made a slight comment, paused, and continued: "How many years is the Sacred Calendar now? How many years is the mechanical revolution?"
Come on, it's a history lesson. Do you want to simply memorize all the signs of the explosion of historical significance? Although he complained in his heart, Du Yueming still replied seriously: "It is now the year 1960 of the sacred calendar, and the beginning of the mechanical revolution is marked by the appearance of the Magic Energy Tower and a large number of alchemy weapons, which happened to be a hundred years ago, that is, in 1860. β
There are very few entertainment and leisure activities in this world, and Du Yueming's former orphanage has some history books donated by the church, and most of his boring time is spent there. Although he worked as a gangster for two years later, Du Yueming has a good memory, so these basic problems still can't be difficult for him.
"Good. And what about before the Sacred Calendar? What kind of era was it?"
"It was a dark time, a history without history. β
"Actually, there is a history. Because our black gold family alone has lasted for 2,000 years, the history of mankind will never be so short. A large number of alchemical weapons actually appeared in the Dark Ages. Because very few people know about that history, it is called history without history in books. β
"Then my previous perception was wrong?" Du Yueming couldn't help but ask. Lisen's words caused Du Yueming to think, maybe the history of this world is also shrouded in fog.
"That's not entirely wrong. But the history of this world is definitely beyond your imagination, and it is by no means a short history of less than 2,000 years recorded in the classics. But that's not our focus today. Our focus today is not on these, but on a murky piece of history that you should know something about. β
Du Yueming was thoughtful when she heard this, and she should be listening to the story next.
Rishen swung into the void, and the mechanism popped out in front of the two of them.
This mechanism is a series of metal branches of different lengths, snapping large and small gears, engraved with the symbol of the sun, moon and stars, which looks very precise, and this presents a map, a three-dimensional map.
The device is connected to five continents, four of which are on a flat surface, with the smallest continent above the other four.
The gears stirred and pulled, and the four continents rotated and moved in the same plane, occasionally undulating, while the sun, moon and stars moved steadily in a given orbit. The fifth continent at the top has remained unmoved, as if it was outside the system.
"It's ......"
"This is the world, let's listen to the real history. There are four continents in our world, and the two continents in the east and west of the initial orbit are Terran. The southern part is the continent where the dark races live and is called the Demon Realm, while the northern one is the homeland continent of thousands of small races, with few civilizations and is called the Exile Continent. β
"The lines are too long, so I'll help you slow down, take a breath and then continue. Du Yueming came to say something sassy.
"The larger continent in the East, which we often call the East, is called the Eastern Continent, and the troubadours are accustomed to calling it the Eastern World, while we in the West are called the Western Continent, and the troubadours call it the Western Realm. β
"East World West Boundary. Taken together, it is the world of human beings. β
"That's right, it's the world. And the source of building the world is energy, and there is a lot of energy in this world. Magic and fighting spirit are actually two forms of power that form a system, and these two are said to be God's blessings to man, allowing him to gain a foothold on the continent. Of course, since the mechanical revolution, a third form of power has also emerged, which is called alchemical machinery. Therefore, the world is now divided into three factions by theologians, the traditional mage faction, the Fighting Knight faction, and the emerging mechanical sΓ©ance faction. β
"Talking about this is actually for cultivation, right?"
"It's really for cultivation. To be precise, it should tell you the meaning of cultivation. β
The Meaning of Cultivation? Isn't the Meaning of Cultivating in the Other World to Claim Domination and Reach the Peak of Life? Du Yueming suddenly began to make up for it.
Reeson stopped talking. The mechanism is gone, replaced by a series of smoky images that play out like a slideshow.
Gorgeous magic, heavy fighting spirit, knights in armor charging towards the tide of darkness, magicians chanting like sighs. The alchemy machine rumbled into operation, bursting out with white mist-like energy vapor and gunfire. Images of the brutal struggle between races poured into Du Yueming's mind like a tide. Countless battlefields, countless images of hatred and blood, forbidden darkness blended with bloody killings.
This is a dark holy war from a thousand years ago. There are few records about this battle, only that the population at that time was extremely reduced to one-fifth, and now it is so clearly presented in front of Du Yueming.
Long. Such pictures disappeared one by one.
Du Yueming gasped slightly, as if he was still indulging in the previous shock, and did not come back to his senses.
"There have been wars between the Eastern and Western Realms, and there have been struggles between Black Gold and Silver Wings, but when the Dark Race invades, humanity will put aside all disputes to face the war. Therefore, I want you to remember that no matter what the moment, the fight against the dark race always comes first. You will understand, you will also experience, in our family, this dark history will never be erased. Those dark blood breeds ......" Rison said that at the end, he actually burst into a foul mouth, and he himself seemed to be startled, and immediately stopped the sentence.
