In fact, Tang Dou knew quite well in his heart that although he had broken the conspiracy and attacks of the Evil Dragon Kingdom several times, behind the seemingly beautiful scenery, the situation was not as good as it seemed.
The Evil Dragon Kingdom, even judging by the least amount of information Tang Dou has now, is an organization that started to act five hundred years ago. Tang Douxian didn't care if this Evil Dragon Kingdom had anything to do with Barton or Wing, or the Demon Heart Sect, but they started planning five hundred years ago, and now their strength should be quite amazing.
It can be seen from the previous clues that the layout of the Evil Dragon Kingdom is quite extensive.
Daredevil, Daredevil King. The chess piece created by this wing, it is difficult to say that he is not serving the evil dragon country, the night demon army swept away the major forces outside the city at the beginning, and became the henchman of Kinunu City, and the resulting sense of crisis will give the evil dragon country an opportunity to take advantage of.
After the Fangs tribe took in the Gusuke, their style began to change gently, and in the first ten years, they were not so much a group of bandits as a group of outcasts with too high force value. But after the Daredevil army defeated the Fangs ten years ago, the situation of the Fangs slowly changed.
Van Pitt's ambition was lured in the battle with the Daredevil, so he accepted the gifts of the mysterious man without hesitation, the Birdwing Crossbow Power and the Nine Flame Golden Lion.
If it weren't for Tang Dou, if he let Van Bit develop for another two years, I am afraid that his ambition to directly attack Kinunu City would burst out.
In the same way, the Gemir Army's mad medicine troll training technique, the entire transfer of the tower, so that after that, which one of them did not have the shadow of the Evil Dragon Kingdom?
Five hundred years of preparation could not be casually destroyed by Tang Dou's efforts in a few months.
And judging by the information that is available now. Behind the scenes of the Evil Dragon Kingdom is either Wing, or the Demon Heart Sect. And sometimes the two can be considered one, and sometimes they must be treated separately. Tang Dou didn't have much confidence, so he could only say that he was lucky.
Under such circumstances, all the victories that have been achieved since the arrival of Martha's storm to the present are only superficial things.
Tang Dou will not be careless. Don't dare to be careless.
At first, he really thought it was just a coincidence. But slowly he saw some clues, and behind all this, I am afraid that there is a big net against him.
After experiencing Sun Mosong's death, Tang Dou understood a fact that made him sad, that is, the true role of the Child of Prophecy was not to find the wishing spirit bead. Instead, let the Wishing Orb lift the seal.
The reason for the release of the seal by the first Wishing Orb is unknown, and it is not clear who the target is. But the person who lifted the second one was Sun Xiangru.
What happened to Lori from Xiao Lori is reversed, and Tang Dou can finally figure out the reasons for some of the things that Barton and Tsubasa did before.
At first, he thinks that Barton is giving him benefits while secretly shadowing the owl in order to control him afterwards. But now it seems likely that Barton knew the true usefulness of the Prophecy Child, and the reason he did so was simply to create the conditions for the release of the seal.
In the same way, the same is true of the wings.
Just think about it this way, and you can understand why Barton. The three forces of Wings and Demon Heart Sect are all over the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, but they have to wait for the son of prophecy to find the Wishing Spirit Bead. It can explain why these three parties didn't directly control Tang Dou and their prophetic sons, and used a few people as search radars.
The reason is that the Child of Prophecy is not used to find the Wishing Orb at all, but to explain the seal.
Knowing this, and looking at the situation in the Fog Hidden Continent, Tang Dou couldn't help but wonder if anyone was planning to create the conditions for lifting the seal.
And inferring from the accident on Lori, the price to be paid to explain the seal is definitely not what Tang Dou wants to see.
"Alas. Fate! Tang Dou let out a long sigh.
"Fate? Do you believe in this thing? Aglaia looked at Tang Dou strangely.
"You believe it?" Tang Dou asked rhetorically.
Aglaya was silent for a moment, but still nodded, looking extremely heavy: "Believe, because I am a person who has been manipulated by fate!" ”
"Huh. Destiny! Operate? Ha ha! Tang Dou sneered disdainfully.
"Are you trying to say that fate can be fought against?" Aglia's face hardened slightly.
Tang Dou shook his head, and his face slowly became serious: "Fate itself is a false proposition, how to say, how to look, how to face it, it is completely with one mind." Destiny? If this thing doesn't happen, it doesn't make sense, and if it happens, it's an established fact. Each person is the bearer of his own destiny and an integral part of the destiny of others around him. ”
Aglaia didn't expect Tang Dou to suddenly speak so seriously, she quietly looked at Tang Dou's extremely rare serious expression, and listened carefully to every word Tang Dou said.
"Aglaia, I don't know your past, and I won't ask too much, but if you are willing to tell me, I will be happy to listen, to think, to give you some advice; If you don't want to, I won't ask any more questions. But if you want to say that your past is at the mercy of fate, then I beg not to agree! ”
smiled indifferently at Aglaia: "Aglaia, have you ever thought about it carefully, maybe this thing of fate doesn't exist at all?" ”
"Doesn't exist?" Aglaya didn't know what Tang Dou was going to say.
"The word fate is ridiculous, what is destined or something, it is only meaningful to people who really jump out of fate and out of the script, because that kind of existence can already see through fate, but then again, if there is really such a person, isn't his act of 'jumping out of the script' itself an arrangement of fate? It's all a paradox of boredom. ”
"Fate doesn't matter, it happens, it happens, and everything you experience is just the result of your different choices. There are good and bad. But can you say that after every good result you have, it's all good? Do you dare to say that there is no good thing after every bad result you have? ”
"Is it good that you know Ilia and them? Is it good that you joined the workshop? Maybe you think I'm a good boss right now, but maybe later you'll find out that I'm going to make you miserable. This is fate, to put it bluntly, it is the choice question of life! ”
"I think I made the right choice to let you join the Workshop in the first place, and it makes me happy. Satisfied. That's enough, and as for the other problems that arise from this, which are simply other problems, can I blame you for all those problems? ”
Tang Dou stretched out his hand. Make a fist clenching motion: "Look, I should be considered a strong man now." But I'm actually very weak. So weak that I can't protect my sister and protect my lover. Protect my friends! I can only keep struggling, keep choosing! ”
"It's the same with you, you used to be no matter what happened. In the end, everything that caused is the current you, the you I know. The perfect life? That doesn't exist. Everyone's life is full of pain and sorrow. Since you are alive, and since you still plan to live, you should move forward, and when you look back, you only see the scars of the past, and you only get lessons! ”
Aglaia listened to Tang Dou's words quietly, after a long time. Only then did he sigh softly: "But what if I say I don't want to live? I've wanted to die for a long time, but what if I can't die? ”
"But you still have concerns, you still have reluctance, and you still have friends! Right! Tang Dou replied as if he knew that the other party would say this.
Aglaia was silent for a while, but finally nodded: "Yes! ”
The two continued to be silent, and it was only after more than an hour that Aglaya seemed to finally muster up her courage: "Have you heard of the Moro tribe?" ”
Tang Dou searched in his memory: "Is that extinct long-lived race?" The only human race has a lifespan comparable to that of the demon race, or even the elven race. The average person has a lifespan of three hundred years. The gold level has a lifespan of 1,000 years. Each small level increase increases the lifespan for another hundred years. ”
Aglaia nodded, revealing a miserable smile, "I am the last Moro in this world. Guess how old I am? ”
"Complain, I'm not going to guess the age of any woman. This is an act of death, I still have enough good youth! Tang Dou rolled his eyes.
Aglaya was amused and shook her head angrily: "You really don't have a serious time. Well, let me tell you directly, I'm four hundred and forty-four years old! ”
"Oh, it's the old old grandmother?" Tang Dou's mouth opened wide exaggeratedly.
Aglaya patted Tang Dou angrily: "Your family's elf is at least two hundred years old. Why don't you talk about her? After a pause, she added, "If I say that I am cursed with immortality, so I can't really die, would you believe me?" ”
"Oh? Tell me about it! "Tang Dou is finally serious this time.
Aglaya closed her eyes, as if sorting out her memories, and after a moment she spoke: "This is a boring story! I was born into a small family, the last of the Moro bloodline......"
With Aglia's story, Tang Dou slowly learned about Aglia's past. The demise of the Moro is also related to their longevity, because they are the only long-lived species among humans, so there will always be people who want to crack the secret of their longevity. As a result, the Moro are always hunted.
In addition to their longevity, the Moro tribe also has a characteristic that they are a species of waste and genius, and there is no middleman. Either they are ordinary people who are completely unable to cultivate, or they are geniuses who are extremely good at cultivating.
This also caused the Moro tribe to be ordinary people, except for a very small number of geniuses and powerhouses, most of the people in the entire population were ordinary people, or even more stupid than ordinary people.
If such a population is protected and treated well by other populations, then there is nothing, but how long can they survive when they become prey for other populations? It is impossible for a few masters and strong people to change the fate of the entire population.
In the end, only Aglaia and their small family were left in the Moro clan, and all the members together were less than fifty people. This means that even if there are no accidents, at most three generations, they will only go extinct.
There is no way for the Moro to mix with people from other groups, otherwise it is easy to give birth to deformed children. In order not to let his population go extinct, and in order to allow his descendants to live like ordinary people, the patriarch of the Moro tribe at that time, that is, Aglaea's grandfather, made a risky decision.
Sacrifice.
Sacrifice Aglaea, who was just five years old, through a secret method - not to ask for Aglaia's life, but to transfer the longevity and vitality of the entire clan to Aglaya through this sacrifice method, so that Aglaya can not only become an extremely strong person, but also turn the rest of the clan into ordinary people.
In other words, by sacrificing Aglaya alone, the last Moro became an ordinary person. And if everything is successful, what Aglaya will lose is only the opportunity to become an ordinary person, but she will become an extreme master with a lifespan no less than that of the elf race, and it is not impossible to become a diamond.
But the sacrifice failed.
In other words, at first, everyone thought that the sacrifice was successful, because according to ancient records, after the sacrifice was successful, the characteristic lilac eyes of the Moro people would change to other colors.
The eyes of everyone involved in the sacrifice changed color, except for Aglaia's eyes, which turned dark purple.
But a year after the sacrifice, the problem arose.
When the sacrifice was just over a year old, Aglia's grandfather died suddenly at home, without any illness or trauma, and died in an unknown manner.
And every year that follows, on the day of the sacrifice, one of the people dies. No matter what you do, no matter how far you flee, you can't change the outcome.
Ten years later, the people had come to think that it was Aglia's problem, that she had been cursed, so it brought disaster, and the fear of death made these people do crazy things, they killed Aglia.
In fact, at that time, Aglaya had already become a silver fifth-level soul cultivator, and if she really wanted to do it, those clansmen who were just ordinary people were not her opponents at all, but she was unwilling to do it to her own clansmen, so she just closed her eyes and waited for death.
But no one expected that three hours after being pierced through the heart, Aglaia woke up again, the wound on her chest was restored, and her heart was beating vigorously again.
At that time, Aglia's immediate family had already died, and the rest of the people fell into madness, and they treated Aglaya inhumanely, and Aglaia, who had no intention of resisting, experienced countless horrific and tragic experiences such as fire, flooding, burial, and dismemberment.
But eventually, Aglaya came back to life.
No one knew why, neither did Aglaya herself, the only thing she knew was that when she awoke from death, one of her people would die, and when she woke up twenty-third, all her people would die in front of her.
Dejected, Aglaia stumbled out of her retreat, wandered the continent, and was finally adopted by a kind mercenary leader.
Aglaya was twenty-eight years old, but Moro blood made her look like a fifteen-year-old girl.
