Chapter Twenty-Four: Six Thousand Years of Truth
The gaze shifted from Torristeen territory to Goria. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Joseph, the current king of Goria, is a royal family who cannot use even a single level of magic, and is secretly ridiculed as an "incompetent king", and does not express opinions on political affairs, economics, and diplomacy, but manages all military affairs by himself. On weekdays, he rarely showed up, and his secretary Shelfield communicated with the ministers.
The royal family's blue hair, clear blue eyes, the majesty of the king and the angular face make him look very attractive, and he is also the first choice for the dream lover of the noblewomen in the royal capital. Of course, this is also inseparable from his kingship.
Two weeks earlier, however, such a king had agreed to lease the port to the Republic of Albion and borrow it. This is already hostile to Torlistine. The ministers were still trying to dissuade them, and Joseph distributed half of the 1,100,000 gold coins provided by the Republic of Albion to the six ministers, and the ministers kept silent, anyway, it was just a little Toristine, what else could they do to Goria?
The war between Albion and Torristeen attracted the attention of the mainland, but unexpectedly, another civil war broke out in Albion, and the fallen crown prince Willus persuaded the Grunt family to raise the banner of restoration and actually recovered Albion after one battle after another. The House of the Republic, the Megans, the Mani, and the Pace families were slaughtered or fled to Goria.
Let Goria take over these four loser-like families, and the four families paid almost all their assets, the shipbuilding skills of the floating ships, two million gold coins, 10,000 troops of the McGhans, and 50,000 sets of armor. All you get are the titles of two Counts (House, McGhan), two Viscounts (Mani, Pest) and four domains in the remote region of Goria. It can be said that it is impossible for these four families to make a comeback in their lifetimes, and Willus of Albion has been staring at them, and he will definitely come to attack if he has the opportunity.
The dust of the civil war in Albion had settled, and the expedition of the Republic's 100,000 troops against Torristine came to an abrupt end.
Goria made a small shot once and watched a good show.
The ministers thought they would be able to clean up for a few years, but they didn't expect Joseph to declare war on Torlistine.
Ministers, of course, could not simply agree, there was no reason, there was no point.
Golia is already one of the most powerful countries on the continent, and the land area is large enough for the people to live in, and Toristine may be interfered with by Albion, Romania, and Golia's fierce rival, Kermania, will definitely not be watching the show.
"My ministers, do you think I'm crazy?" Joseph asked.
The ministers looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, but obviously they couldn't say it, and they lowered their heads and ignored it.
Joseph laughed, his tone suddenly turned cold, and said.
"Do you think that the widow has been idle since he became king? Actually, no, you are all fools who are ignorant of the future, so that you can live comfortably and idly every day under the halo of a great power. ”
The ministers were enraged by such a harsh accusation, and they stalked their necks one by one.
"Your Majesty, we have been conscientiously serving the people and serving Your Majesty. Diplomacy, economy, education, and people's livelihood are not among us. Your Majesty, if you don't reward us for our hard work, why do you insult us? ”
Joseph's anger subsided slightly, but his face remained grim.
"I didn't want to tell you, but now it's impossible not to take the initiative to go to war."
Joseph said in a cold tone: "What I said next, if you dare to spread it, I will kill your whole family." ”
The ministers shuddered. I had a premonition that something terrible was happening.
Joseph slowed his tone and began to tell the story of a legend.
Six thousand years ago, Primir, a man known as the Ancestor, appeared, and he developed five systems of magic that allowed some talented humans to learn, greatly enhancing the strength of humans and freeing them from the fate of being enslaved by elves. In the land of the elves, the ancestor Primir and the powerful magicians of the elven race seem to have faced off, and the end is that Primir leaves the elven land with the humans and goes to the wild land of the west, which is now the continent of Harkginia.
The ecological environment in the wild land is harsh and uninhabitable, and that is because of the existence of the four elves.
The activities of the fire spirits caused the volcanoes of the Wild Lands to erupt frequently; The earth trembles with the activity of the earth spirits, and every once in a while a great earthquake occurs; The activities of the wind spirits fill the heavens and the earth with strong winds that can scratch and blow flyers; The activities of the water spirits caused the flood to engulf the land. Coupled with the countless dragons and demonic beasts raging, it was difficult for humans to survive in the wild land, and half of the humans died in just one month.
Primordial Primir was deeply saddened by the great loss of human life, so he risked his death, and Primordial took his four demons - God's left hand Gangdaruf, God's right hand Wendalf, God's head Mousnidon Niren, and God's heart Reves Rachel, set out to challenge the four elves.
After four earth-shattering battles, the Water Elves promised to stay forever in what is now Lake Ragudorian; The Wind Elves promise to stay high in the sky forever and not appear on the surface of the earth inhabited by humans; The irascible fire elves were difficult to convince, and were sealed by the ancestors in what is now the Papal Palace; Unwilling to fail, the Earth Elves were sealed by the Ancestors under the realm of present-day Goria.
The slumber and sealing of the four elves have reduced the activity of the elements to a low point, and natural disasters such as winds, floods, volcanoes, and earthquakes have decreased to the normal range of tens or hundreds of years, and the wild land has gradually become suitable for human habitation.
In the battle with the four elves, the three demons of the ancestor sacrificed their lives, leaving only the strongest Gangdaruf, and the ancestor himself was seriously injured beyond recovery, and after the battle to drive away the dragons and monsters, the life of the ancestor came to an end. The first ancestor called three sons and one adopted son to the sickbed, and asked them to lead a part of the human race to develop the land where they lived, which is the origin of Goria, Torlistine, Albion, and Romania, and Kermania is only a country that has only appeared in the last three hundred years.
After the death of the Ancestor Immortal, he left four secret treasures and four gems for his four sons.
But in fact, the Ancestor also left behind four powers, four Void Users who inherited his powers, and four demons.
And the reason why the secret treasure and power were left behind was because of the crisis prophesied by the ancestors.
Hearing this, the ministers were already completely immersed in the legends of that period of the rise of mankind, and when they heard the crisis, the ministers were in high spirits and felt that the main event was coming.
Joseph continued.
The first ancestor was not able to destroy the four elves at the beginning, and it should be said that the four elves incarnated by nature cannot be destroyed. And even if the Ancestor defeated them, the Four Elves would not keep their promises and be sealed forever. The Water Elves and the Wind Elves made a pact with the First Ancestor for six thousand years, after which they could move freely; And the seals of the fire elves and earth elves will also lose their effectiveness after six thousand years, and the anger of the angry fire elves and earth elves who have been sealed for six thousand years can no one imagine.
The Ancestor was worried about the future after 6,000 years, and before he died, he divided all his power into four parts, and gradually awakened before the time limit of 6,000 years came. The Ancestor pinned his hopes on the four void users who had received his power to protect humanity in his place from the catastrophe of the elven awakening six thousand years later.
Among them, under the land of Goria is the earth spirit, and there have been three earthquakes in the past twenty years, which is a sign that the earth spirit is about to awaken. Once the Earth Elves awakened, Goria was plagued by frequent earthquakes, making it impossible for humans to live there.
The ministers were shocked and horrified.
"So, what should I do? Your Majesty!! ”
Joseph said in a deep voice, "I have been favored by the First Ancestor to become one of the users of the Void, and since I ascended the throne I have been searching for traces of other users of the Void. But the power of the Ancestors would choose a successor at random, and I couldn't find any other users. In that case, it is no longer feasible to unite the four Void Users against the catastrophe, and I want Golia to survive, and I must obtain a land that can accommodate these three million people before the Earth Elves awaken. ”
"This is the reason why the widows want to provoke the civil war in Albion, the invasion of Torristin, and the war against Torristin. Do you guys still have any objections? Joseph's eyes burned at the ministers.
The ministers looked at each other, and finally launched a humane.
"If it is true as His Majesty said, everything is up to His Majesty. Now all this is just a faction of His Majesty's words, and the old ministers, although they think it is very true, they really can't believe it and don't want to believe it. ”
"Hmph, gallless rats. Ask ye for proof, and this king will give you proof. ”
"Shelfield, fetch the ancestral incense burner."
"Yes, my master."
The long-haired woman bowed from behind her throne and quickly placed a crude incense burner between the ministers and Joseph.
The ministers were surprised: "Isn't this [the ancestral incense burner]?" ”
"Exactly, this is the secret treasure that the ancestors passed down to the royal family of Goria. No one could use it for the past six thousand years, until the Oligopoly awakened the power of the Void User. Joseph said with some pride.
"Go get the quilt and pillows, and I and a few ministers will have a good night's sleep."
"It's been prepared." Hilfield threw out seven stones, which turned into seven quilt pillows when they hit the ground.
The ministers looked at each other.
"The incense burner of the ancestors, urged by the system of widowhood and nothingness, emits a fragrance that can make people dream and enter the scenes in the memories of the ancestors. Ladies and gentlemen, let the widow go to your dreams. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Joseph pressed his hand on the censer, and the white light surged around the [Ancestral Incense Burner], and a breathtaking incense swayed. Unwilling to resist, Joseph and the six ministers soon fell asleep.
Shelfield stood by the side.
This sleep lasted from the afternoon until late at night, when Joseph and the six ministers woke up one after another.
The six ministers burst into tears.
"O Ancestor, O Ancestor. Praise the ancestors, you have worked hard. ”
The six ministers seemed to be rendered by the situation in their dreams, and they were very emotional.
Joseph's memories of the first time he experienced the Ancestor were similar to this, but after a hundred times, he had become accustomed to it. "Now, do you ministers still have doubts?"
The six ministers stopped crying: "Everything is up to Your Majesty's decision. ”
"Very good, pass on my order, order 10,000 Red Flame Tiger Legion to cooperate with 10,000 of the McGan family, 20,000 of the Goria-Toristine border, and 10,000 of nearby local troops, a total of 50,000, to attack Torlistine."
"The domestic factory uses the technology of the House family to quickly build a floating ship, and the 10,000 Blue Eagles and 10,000 Red Flame Tigers are on standby, and when the floating ship is built, attack Albion."
"10,000 Red Flame Tigers and 10,000 Blue Eagles are on the lookout to prevent Kermania's movements. The remaining 10,000 Blue Eagles are on standby on the Goria-Toristine border, ready to support. ”
"The water demon sings, 20,000 people, and 20,000 troops of the Goria-Romanian local army to guard against Romania's movements."
"The 50,000 bears of the earth are commanded by the widow himself, and they sit in the royal capital."
"Yes, my master." Shelfield looked at Joseph, who was in high spirits after issuing the order, his eyes swelling with admiration, but he kept his heart to his lips and would not say it.
I'm a tool, as long as I can always be with the owner.
As Shelfield left the palace, orders rang out, and Goria, who had been at peace for fifty years, slowly took action, shocking the entire continent.
