Chapter 51: Leonardo da Vinci's History Book
Leonardo da Vinci did not respond to the boy's words, but handed him a parchment book with the words "Chronicle of Ceccilai - The History of Rome and the Rise of the Peninsula" on the cover of the sheepskin. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The boy then opened the very carefully preserved book, the first half of which was a diary written by Leonardo da Vinci, and the second half was a chronicle written by the Roman historian Cecilai.
It turns out that in the decades since the boy left, the entire source world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Following the industrial revolution in the continent of Yaroac, the whole world was connected, and the world where the boy first arrived was also discovered, and the human beings here developed rapidly with the technology left by the boy, followed by prosperity and decline, resource depletion, environmental degradation, various wars, and finally the destruction of the entire civilization under the double blow of nuclear weapons and ultimate magic forbidden magic.
Then the origin power of the Alans world began to quickly repair the entire world, in fact, she was a world spirit created by Leonardo da Vinci, with the help of the magic particles dissipated in the void and the nuclear energy in the air became extremely powerful, so that in the end she could return these energies back to the world itself, so that after only more than a thousand years, the entire Alans world was restored.
The boy continued to flip through the diary, which looked like a normal book, but in fact, the words contained in it would cover the entire Immortal Land if spread out. Only the young man's current mental power is enough to look through it quickly.
The flow of time in the world of Alans has also changed with the strength of its world origin, and the magic civilization of the entire Alans world has developed to its peak, and strong people such as law gods have also appeared, although they have all fallen later, but the powerful magical power will not disappear, but will be absorbed by the original will, and finally fed back to the world itself, the current Alans world can no longer be called a plane, he has evolved into a celestial body, once it develops to a certain extent, it will break through the confinement of the plane celestial sphere, and then the boy will get a powerful one in the universe'Base'. Of course, he has no intention of dominating the universe now.
Then, after taking a sip of the sulphur drink, he flipped to the end of the journal and looked down.
Seven thousand years ago, human beings, who had been reduced to primitive people, began to re-emerge as civilization.
This is the end of the diary, and the following is the chronicle written by Sisi. The boy flipped over gently.
Three thousand years ago, the Sumerians established a federal republic in the valley of the two rivers of the Asian continent, and an early magical civilization was born, which was later destroyed by a flood. In the Europa Olympic Mountains, the gods were born, and it can be seen that the laws of the world of Alans are already very strong.
The rule of the gods came to an end 6,000 years ago, and the nascent ancient Greeks replaced the gods on land, in the sky, and even in the sea 1,600 years ago. After that, the ancient Greek city-states continued to decline in the war with the Boyue Empire, and the shortcoming of the magical civilization was that the development needed to be accumulated, and once the excellent magicians were lost on a large scale, they would lose their inheritance, and finally they were conquered by Aristotle the Great of the Macedonian Kingdom in the north, and the Boyue Empire was also conquered in just ten years. The kingdom of Israel and David founded by the Hebrews on the other side of the mountain was also included in the Aristotelian Empire.
The Roman Empire arose in the four hills of the Apennine Peninsula, established an oligarchy-controlled democracy after ousting the king, and then fought under the banner of the eagle, fought numerous wars against the Mediterranean power Carthaginian Empire, and eventually annexed Carthage. Rome then turned its sword to the east, launching three Macedonian wars and a war against the Ptolemaic Empire in the south.
Eventually, the Roman Empire developed into a true Mediterranean power, with a population of hundreds of millions and a flourishing magic. At its peak, four magic emperors appeared. At the same time, the Hebrews of the kingdom of Israel and David were in conflict with technology and magic for various reasons, but the Romans eventually lost patience with them, and after the last suppression of the Hebrew rebellion, they slaughtered nearly five million Hebrews, burned their cities and expelled them from their homeland for generations.
Just as the Roman Empire was in its heyday, another extremely powerful nomadic tribe in the East was migrating towards Europa, and they would bring endless nightmares to the Europa, they were the demons on horseback, the Goliaths.
The Goliaths are warriors, ruthless, and cunning. They are a combination of contradictions, but they are undoubtedly brave and cruel and powerful.
They live in the Kulen steppes of the East, and their origins are unknown.
The Goliaths, who lived in the steppes, lived like all barbarians. They rode like wolves chasing their prey, sometimes gathering and sometimes scattering,
The Goliaths were warlike and aggressive, often raiding the Cyris Empire in the south. The Seris were powerless to resist, and the whole north became their racetrack, where the people who lived there were either displaced and eventually starved to death, or slaughtered by the Goliaths.
The defense system built by the Seris is very useful when the country is strong, but when the state declines, it is usually just a decoration, and it serves as nothing more than a symbol of the border.
In the end, after a hundred years of development and forbearance, the Cyris completely defeated the Goliaths with their amazing resilience and cost.
Led by the clan leader Adan Muqier, they made a long-distance migration, and in a few decades, they finally migrated to the Oghhuz steppes of Central Asia, and after a hundred years they migrated to the west, and the current authoritative theory is that the leaders of Goliath at that time were warned by the gods in a dream that they would only be blessed by the gods if they went west, and they were known to have an unusual devotion to the so-called gods. Although this reason seems very unreasonable to us, the Romans only needed gods even if they believed in them, such as the merchants who believed in Shylocktyr, and the soldiers who believed in Attila, the god of war. We Romans should learn from them, we should be pious and respectful of the gods, you must know that in the archaic era the consuls had faith, they usually farmed in the field, when the barbarians invaded, they wore armor and purple robes to rush to the front, and immediately after the war returned to the field barefoot to continue farming, now the trust is missing, the whole country is corrupt, obscene [filthy] debauchery, it is really worrying.
When the whole of Rome was basking in the glory of the eagle banner, the Goliaths were like a thunderbolt that woke up the sleeping people. No one knew what they were, or where they came from, but they were much taller than the barbarians of the north, and they were as handsome as Jupiter's darlings. At first, they only harassed on the border, and sometimes did business with the Romans, they were very good at learning, and very strict and disciplined, with all the good qualities of civilized people, but their savage and bloodthirsty nature still exposed the identity of the lowly barbarians.
After a short period of peace, the Goliaths were not satisfied with what they had done, and they were as greedy, brutal and warlike as their ancestors of the Romans, and after the fall of Rome, they slaughtered a million people in the city, and they also had a very bad habit of infanticide. They were accustomed to gather their babies together and drown in the sea, which was rare among the savage tribes, but they seemed to treat their own people as well, believing that the enemy's babies would eventually become enemies, and that they could only be completely destroyed.
Ultimate thanks to General Sulla, despite the fact that he was a dictator. He led the entire civilized world, including the barbarians, against the Goliaths, and in the West they would suffer the same fate as in the East, that is, they would be repulsed. Barbarism can never defeat civilization, and even if they win for a while, they will eventually succumb to the power of civilization.
Just when the people were excited to repel the Goliath invasion, something happened that was even more fearful and disgusting to the Roman political elite than the barbarian invasion.
Sulla declared himself dictator for life, this damn dictator, the Roman people will never give in, freedom belongs to the people, all dictatorships are the backboard of the empire, the empire is a free country, although it is nominally an empire, but the republic is the foundation of ruling this country, Sulla still relies on the powerful magic janissaries to interfere in everything in this country unscrupulously, which is completely contrary to the spirit of Roman democracy.
After the chaotic years that followed the collapse of the Aristotelian Empire, the Boyue Empire in the east was finally reunited, and this civilized country showed its belligerent spirit, declaring war on Rome less than a year after its unification・・・・・・
As soon as the boy closed the book, the book changed again, and the cover of the book changed again.
"The Interweaving of Ice and Fire - The Prophet Abiway" Looking at the words on the cover of the sheepskin, the boy opened the book again.
After the crushing defeat in Rome, the Goliaths were forced to migrate to the Adinaya Peninsula.
Adinaya means fire and ice in the Goliath language, and half of the area is the wasteland Gobi and grassy steppes, and the rest is desert and some arable land, and the living conditions are extremely harsh. During the day, the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius, and at night it will reach -40 degrees Celsius, and the temperature difference is very large, as if purgatory and the polar regions are intertwined.
The Goliaths, who had just arrived there, benefited from the tenacity and tenacity of the steppe warrior tradition, survived and thrived in that hellish place, and created their own unique civilization, the civilization of the clan city-state.
The Goliaths combined Roman Latin and Boyue to create a common script, and in the process of migration, they lost all their possessions, except for the books, which were kept tightly. All kinds of books on medicine, geometry, architecture, textiles and even agriculture are in their preservacy. The Goloids attached great importance to education, just like the ancient Medes, and they were also a people who valued military and education, but the difference is that the Medes disappeared, while the Goliaths would survive tenaciously and eventually sweep the entire civilized world.
The Goliaths were not a single people, but a community of dozens of different peoples, whom the Romans collectively referred to as the Goliaths, not only because of their similarity in behavior and beauty in appearance, but because of their consistent practice. Just as they once called us Aryans Persians, and they called the barbarians living in the Black Forest Germanic peoples. They are unexplained and arrogant, and like the Greeks, they consider themselves to be the center of the world, and the other peoples are the so-called barbarians, and only they are the kingdom of civilized people, but they are the real debauchery and depravity of the people, and the hard warrior spirit of the ancient period is long gone, although they are still extremely brave and patriotic, but physically they have been softened by the prostitutes brought from Gaul and Egypt.
After a hundred years of prosperity, later Rome fell into the final fate of all empires, decline. Their goddess of fate, Herarina, did not bless them for their piety, and while the fascist eagle banner was still flying in the Roman sky, various hidden dangers erupted.
There were constant national uprisings against the brutal rule of Rome, and the satraps were divided, and although every time Rome had a great emperor to unify the country, Rome's decline was unmistakable, but the people were too frightened by her large and seemingly powerful magical legions to do anything.
For the first time since Caesar overthrew the Republic, Rome began to decline, and people always thought that she could be eternal, but just like the Greek Pyraeus's theory of reincarnation, everything will perish, and Rome is no exception, just like the former Boyue Empire, which was once so vast, but still perished.
After a series of periods such as the co-rule of the four emperors, the tyranny of Nero, and the dictatorship of soldiers, the time has reached the year 786 AD. The year was fifteen hundred years since the birth of Rome, and the triumphal arch was attended by countless Roman citizens, who had already loved the Romans with a passion for the Empire, and had spent the new year as usual, yes, Rome did not need to make any changes, her system was the most perfect of its time, its compulsory education, its urban drainage system, its public hospitals and theaters, its free men's and women's huge baths, and the perfect court system and military system were all unsurpassed today.
But this year is a day to remember for the Goliaths living on the peninsula, with the birth of the prophet Abiway.
Abiwei, the conqueror who would later be known as the King of East and West, had already shown an astonishing talent at this time, and like many great men, he had many qualities that would be very valuable to ordinary people. The strong will and wisdom beyond ordinary people and the far-reaching strategic vision of the strong are very evident in him, but it is a pity that people always ignore those who will really change history, and it is often too late to find out, which is the case with the Romans.
The war between Rome and Boyue in 805 A.D. had reached its final stage, and both sides had lost more than a million troops, which gave the Goliaths a chance.
The Goliaths had been raiding the border areas of Rome and Poyue, but because for the two huge empires, the slightest loss in the border area was not really taken seriously, and the bitter war between the empires overshadowed the losses caused by the Goliath raids on the frontier generation. No one cares about that, Rome wants to conquer Boyue, Boyue wants to retake Antotalia and Egypt, and the Goliaths on the peninsula are already very powerful at this time. A mixture of steppe and maritime civilizations, plunder and commerce, capital and slaves, republics and tribes, they are always so contradictory.
The Goliaths on the peninsula had already established many city-states by this time, and those cities on the seashore were absolutely neutral and shared places, and the flames of war would not burn here. The lord of the city is elected by the citizens. These cities, because of their sacred and special status, traveled outside of tribal warfare, they were the birthplace of commerce and Goliath civilization, and they were the most important force that really determined the fate of the entire Goliath.
The Goliaths are divided into two major factions, the red-haired Goliaths represented by the Ural and the black-haired Goliaths represented by the Simbuyi, which are the two strongest clans among them.
There are more than 20 clans in the whole Goliath, the strongest eight of which will be called the Eight Clans of the Holy Descent, each of the eight clans has its own patriarch, and they fight with each other constantly, among which the contradiction between the Ural and the Sinbuyi is the most acute, the entire Goliath people are constantly fighting each other for centuries, their civilization is getting higher and higher, but its ferocity is also rising, some small clans only have the fate of being slaughtered, there is no compromise between them, the eight clans compete with each other for territory, there is no real person who can unite them, because those city lords do not want them to be united, they also count on the war between those tribes to make a fortune, and once the whole Goliath is unified, their position will also become awkward, it is for these reasons that the entire Goliath has not been unified once in a thousand years, but with the passage of time everything is different, the Goliaths suddenly found that they were surrounded by two empires, and the huge crisis prompted them to unify, and the martial and warlike Goliaths frequently attacked the border of the two empires in fact because the population of the peninsula has swelled to a limit, and the annual tribal fighting can only reduce to half of the population, but there is still a surplus population, and only by waging wars to the north can the population be reducedWith their superior fighting skills and tenacious will to fight, they plundered a large number of slaves and other booty almost every time, most of which ended up in the pockets of the city lords, who built banks one after another, which were used by the ancient Dacian kings to exploit their own people.
The population of the peninsula has finally reached a limit, 30 million people. This was far more than the load on that harsh peninsula, and most of the Goliaths lived a life of complete raiding, or simply went fishing or even pirates to the southern continent of the East and could not survive, which aroused great dissatisfaction among the entire Goliaths, who began to question everything, including the son of a warrior of the Nasian tribe named Abivi.
The Nasian are only a small clan in Goliath, but there are many heroes who are proud of it. Ransack the whole of Egypt in Nabril, invaded the Western Qin of Liushi Su, the famous geographer Nafeng. This is a clan that has produced countless great men, and of course the conquerors are just clever butchers.
Compared to Abiwei, he is much more merciful, of course, it is also relative, and more importantly, he is a victor, a victor in the true sense of the word, the most powerful man to date, and his exploits have not been surpassed so far.
When Abiwei was three years old, his mother was killed by the enemy, and his father was later killed, and he lived a beggar life as a young man, but he survived with astonishing perseverance and perhaps luck.
At the age of fourteen, he spent his money in business and stolen money, and went to study at the Athenaeum in Greece, during which time his teachers were so embarrassed by his achievements that his painting teacher taught him only three days before asserting that he had surpassed the greatest masters of antiquity, all because of his work "The Weeping Fallen Angel" This painting is still in the former Imperial Art Museum, this painting actually contains Abiwei's ambitions and ideals, he has shown absolute talent in other disciplines, he is proficient in 14 languages and 23 languages, he is particularly fond of military and political knowledge, and he is also very interested in numbers and other aspects of knowledge, we do not know, but today the Sophia Theater is designed by him, and the geometry and optical theorems contained in it are difficult to break through even now.
Abivi left Greece at the age of nineteen and returned to the Goliath Peninsula to begin his true goal, the unification of Goliath.
With his far-sighted strategic vision and clear understanding of the contradictions, he soon gathered a group of disciples, who initially intended for peaceful reunification, but after the city of Ghana was almost killed by the citizens, he changed his method and unification by force became his method.
He spread his knowledge and helped many people with what he learned on the peninsula, and he also helped people to heal their diseases for free, and he used his inspiring speeches and promises of benefits and deception to attract the lower classes, so that his various forces began to gather more and more, and he succeeded in provoking conflicts between the tribes and the lords, watching the seagulls fight each other like fishermen.
To be fair, Abivi was by no means a good man, but he was a good leader, at least he knew what he had to do, and although what he did was not for the sake of the national awakening of Goliath, as he said, it was purely personal ambition, but he did make an immeasurable contribution to the rise of the Goliaths.
Abiwei's military ability is absolutely unprecedented, he is comparable to Solomon, and his martial arts are comparable to King David. He established the Sherman, or Republic, in Fenggu, and then wiped out tribes and city-states in just five years, and finally conquered the city of Ghana in 811 A.D., the first year of the Republican calendar, forcing the lord of the city to recognize him as the consul of the Great Goliath Republic, telling those around him that he would never be emperor, that he would uphold democracy, and that he would uphold his vow of spiritual equality for all men in the Holy Religion.
He was later called a prophet and scholar of Adinaja, but he was more of a military man, and Abivi established the republic system based on the Roman and Greek systems, combined with the monarchy of the Boyue Prince.
He combined with his country's national conditions to create a democratic system with Goliath characteristics, and abolished the original clan system, but the contradictions between clans did not disappear, and Abiwei must have been very clear, so after a year of observation, he came to the conclusion that the only way to baptize the new republic was to start a war, and baptize the new republic with blood and fire.
In the following ten years, Abiwei destroyed the Roman Empire, which had an army of three million, and then eliminated the almost powerful Boyue Empire, and after the elimination of the two empires, he did not implement a policy of oppression, but a policy of equality among the peoples, he implemented class division, tried to dilute the concept of nation, but before his death he still predicted that Rome and Boyue would rebel.
In his last speech in the city of Ghana, he once again reminded the people of the importance of education, said that the spread of the Holy Religion should not use force, advocated a scientific view of everything, and sternly rejected the idea of making him a god. Abivi hated the gods above all and did not believe in the existence of gods. He once openly said that God is man-made, and it can only be a kind of spiritual sustenance for the weak, and he founded the Holy Religion not because of belief in God, but as a means of uniting the Goliaths. It can be seen that he was not at all a devout believer as people say today.
During the storming of Constantinople, he ordered the slaughter of the entire city, and then pursued a murderous policy throughout Rome, but he was much more tolerant of the Persians, marrying a Persian woman, affectionately calling her Minova (my love). At the same time, he pursued an egalitarian policy towards the Persians, perhaps because of his respect for the Romans or his fear of slaughtering the Romans.
Admittedly, this is very effective, if it were not, then in the event of a crisis in the Republic, the Romans would probably have far more than a million rebels, and the Republic would not have been able to suppress it.

Closing the book, the boy closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
Reincarnation. The boy laughed, why didn't he dare.
