Chapter XXIX: History
"You're also from the Landis Continent?" asked Ciel, suddenly...
Qin Zheng smiled lightly: "I said no, will you be disappointed?" As soon as the words fell, Hill really showed a regretful expression.
"The Elemental Master has been in decline in the Origin Continent for more than a thousand years, and I didn't expect that there would be a gifted person, which is simply a miracle. However, I am not happy for your miracle, and even a little sad. If you continue to stay here, the path of cultivation will be very difficult, very difficult, and the Origin Continent is very barren, which is not conducive to the growth of you and your elves. ”
Hill emphasized the hardship and barrenness several times in a row, as if Qin Zheng was not a miracle but a tragedy in his eyes.
"It seems that you regret following me?"
"Are you questioning my loyalty?" Hill glared angrily, and after noticing the faint smile on Qin Zheng's face, his expression was relieved, and he sighed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were joking with me, since I swear to be loyal to you, I will be honest with you." ”
Realizing that Hill was not pretending to be flattering but genuinely intended to follow him, Qin Zheng smiled heartily. "It's me who should be sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't be joking with your oath. Tell me, 'Elementalists have been in decline in the Origin Continent for more than a thousand years' what is going on?"
Hill looked down at his companions who were lying asleep on the ground, and although they were sleeping deeply, they would wake up alertly as soon as they touched their bodies lightly. And he didn't have much sleep left, so he sat down on the spot with his legs bent, thinking about how to tell Qin Zheng about this historical issue.
"How much do you know about elementalists?"
Qin Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Feng Shui, Fire and Earth, the master of the four systems of magic elements, I am very impressed by his profound knowledge. "The understanding of the elementalist in his memory was already after he went to the Heavenly Realm, when he first came to an unknown situation and offended a grumpy Dharma God, and the result was ...... In two words, it's a nightmare.
The endless means bombarded him so that he couldn't get close, and if he wasn't careful, he would be firmly controlled, and if it weren't for the astrological arts, he would have been played to death a long time ago. Since that escape, he has used some ways to make up for the knowledge of magic elements, and tried to understand the existence of the elementalists, a group of anti-heaven beings, and his gestures are full of the power of heaven and earth, leaving him with a psychological shadow for a long time.
Hill nodded slightly, the people of the Origin Continent didn't even know what kind of existence the elemental master was, Qin Zheng was able to say the four magic elements, and summarized it in very concise words, it was not easy.
"A long, long time ago, the Origin Continent was very rich, and it experienced one era after another of greedy and unbridled demands, which led to the gradual depletion of resources. In the last era, it was the heyday of the elementals of the Origin Continent, and countless gems, spars, precious metals, rare ores and other magical materials were frantically mined, used and sold on a large scale, but more were used to frantically improve the level of weapons, armor, and accessories, giving birth to many demigods and artifacts, in a vain attempt to challenge and overthrow the gods. It can be said that it is a very crazy era, a kind of exhaustion and squandering with all our might, leaving no resources for future generations...... Crazy. ”
"You use a lot of bad words. Hill's indignant look made Qin Zheng feel a little unfamiliar, and the history he said was even more unfamiliar.
"In short, it was a chaotic, crazy, irrational time. Ciel slowed down, quickly gathering his mood and calming his tone again. "Completely ignoring the selfishness of future generations has caused resources to be exhausted many years in advance, and the Origin Continent ...... Without the indispensable magical materials such as gems, hedrons, precious metals, and rare ores, the decline of the Elementalist is inevitable. Glancing at Qin Zheng, he thought that of course there were other reasons, he couldn't say.
Qin Zhengmo rubbed his chin and sighed: "It turns out that there is such a history. "He's not an elementalist, and as an outsider, he doesn't pay much attention to history itself, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and no matter how much he spits on it now, it doesn't make any sense. Qin Zheng's focus is on where Hill knew such a detailed history. "These were recorded by you Twilight Protoss?"
"Temple of the Twilight Moon. ”
Qin Zheng was surprised: "Twilight Moon Temple, then, the Rising Sun Temple also has corresponding records?"
"Perhaps. When Ciel heard the words of the rising sun, a look of disgust appeared between his brows.
Strange, Qin Zheng secretly wondered. If there was a glorious magical age in the Origin Realm, why didn't there even a single document remain? There were no books or traces of it, and there was not a single word in sight, as if it had never happened. But Ciel, who was born in the Twilight Moon Protoss, and had sworn to follow him, made no sense to make up a piece of history to deceive him.
"Are you doubting the history I just said?"
"I'm just confused. Qin Zheng frowned and thought.
"I can prove it. Hill said, "The traces of history cannot be erased, and it has survived in a different appearance, such as the healing scroll in your hand." ”
Qin Zheng looked down at the healing charm in his hand and was a little stunned, could it be that the charm was a trace of history?
"Healing, the talent of the Rising Sun Protoss. Hill said. "The healing scroll was originally exiled from the Temple of the Rising Sun, and it was common for a large number of casualties to occur on the battlefield, and it was impossible to restore the entire war situation by manpower alone, so they found a way to engrave the healing technique into the scroll and use it on the battlefield to reduce the casualties of the soldiers. However, they underestimated the value of the healing technique and overestimated the lure of money, and when the first person succeeded in replicating the healing scroll, the situation became no longer under the control of the Temple of the Rising Sun, and the healing scroll became more popular than ever. ”
Qin Zheng followed his words and said, "In addition to the healing technique, there are many spells that have also been made into scrolls, but there are differences in power, and some have not even changed their names. "For example, the explosion charm is fire magic, and from the conjecture can be concluded, seeing Hill nodding, he knows that he is right.
"During the time I came to the Yuan Shi Continent, when I was traveling, I found some strange things when I was doing tasks, which indirectly proved that the history I learned from the literature was the real history. ”
Qin Zheng stared at him and listened intently.
"The churches of the two temples are very inactive here, there are very few halls, and you don't see the clergy moving around, which is very abnormal, and it's really hard to imagine what the world would be like without the church before I came here. And the school here is also very weird, never teaching students how to judge, to explore, to research, to create, usually 'what I have, you learn, but don't ask why'. Everyone takes authority for granted, without even the slightest suspicion. I don't understand. ”
These words stirred up turmoil in Qin Zheng's heart, thinking back to the history told by Hill, he suddenly felt that he had always walked into a misunderstanding.
Everyone in the Yuan Shi Realm worships God as the sky, and they dare not raise the slightest disobedience, and everyone only knows that they are stubborn and do not want to forge ahead. The classics handed down from the ancestors and antiquity are regarded as authorities, and no one dares to touch the research and creation, even if they can't resist their curiosity to do it, they will be accused of being a great rebellion and strictly forbidden, as if they have touched a taboo that cannot be touched. Is it really the world's ignorance? He doesn't know. In the previous life, most of the time was spent on cultivating astrology, and there was no deep contact with the temple, although he was reborn, he felt that he was going in another unknown direction, and the fresh feeling made Qin Zheng look forward to it.
The school should refer to the sect, and if you think about it, it's really true. Take Tianfeng Valley as an example, disciples only need to go to the Boundless Pagoda to choose the exercises, and everyone can follow the cultivation, but don't go to the bottom to explore why, no senior brother and master can give an answer, except for some cultivation experience, maybe even they themselves don't know why.
"Qin, I was warned. Hill stared into Qin Zheng's eyes and said, "I was warned for only doing one very ordinary thing, can you imagine how surprised I was at that time?"
"I need a lot of glass containers to make some potions, and I found that there is no such thing as glass in the Origin Continent. Fortunately, there were raw materials, so I didn't think too much about it, so I told a Dan master friend about how to make glass containers, and asked him to help me make a batch of glass containers. It wasn't long before a deacon from the Temple of the Twilight Moon suddenly came to me, and I don't know where he came from, and warned me directly, 'Landis, this is the first and last warning to you, and the next time we find out that you are trying to interfere with the Origin civilization, we will make you disappear, including the soul. Immediately afterward, I found out that my friend was gone, and I never saw him again. ”
Qin Zheng was silent, and a cold quietly rose on his back, and glass is glass in Guran.
It turns out that the method of refining glass is not a secret, and I can't help but laugh at the complacency and complacency in my heart. If he didn't keep the secret, but revealed the method of refining the glaze or sold the glaze for his own profit, would he end up with the same fate as the Dan Artifact Master? Could it be that the people of the temple were really everywhere? Silently monitoring every corner of the realm? Thinking about the determination of the people in the temple to erase the traces, I couldn't understand why, and I felt that there was an invisible net firmly controlling everyone, and I suddenly felt a little creepy.
The two of them didn't say a word, falling into a brief silence until Qin Zheng took out a fist-sized white stone and placed it on the ground.
"Silica?" Hill recognized at a glance, held it in his hand to confirm it, and put it back in its place. "This is the associated mineral ...... of amethyst," he thought of the Dan Artifact friend who had evaporated from the world, and subconsciously pursed his lips.
Qin Zheng said it on his behalf: "After high-temperature smelting, it is glass. ”
"Sure enough, you know. Hill breathed a sigh of relief, and when he thought about it, Qin Zheng didn't seem to know less than him, and he was relieved.
"I'd like to get some finger-sized glass beads, do you have any way to do it?"
Hill reached out and took the silica in his palm, only to see that his palm suddenly burned, and the silica melted like a candle under the wrapping of the raging flames. The thick white liquid kept tumbling in the flames, the white gradually faded, and the liquid gradually turned red, and then Ciel raised his right hand and instantly struck a wind blade, cutting off a small piece of reddened thick liquid.
The thick liquid that exuded high temperature fell freely and fell into the miniature tornado he released, and after a few breaths, a round and transparent glass bead appeared, and Hill concocted it according to the law, smelting a total of fourteen pieces and handing them to Qin Zheng.
