Episode 181 Legends and Legends
The dead fat man was righteous and awe-inspiring: "See, the second brother of the human race has already made a promise to you, now you should rest assured, right?" The dwarves looked at me, and I shook Chief Tyxon's hand, glaring back at the fat man, "You're ****** the second." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The dead fat man gloated, and his eyes narrowed with a smile. I didn't have time to compete with him, so I said to Jian Tianhan: "Xiaojian, you immediately contact the headquarters and report the situation here." In addition, the headquarters was asked to provide the manufacturing process of the grenade and the secret recipe for the preparation of gunpowder. ”
Jian Tianhan began to send a report ticking, and a dwarven warrior brought a kind of pickled fish jerky and invited us to taste it. After a while, the headquarters called back. In the telegram, Brother Nine complimented us and commissioned us to say hello to Chief Tyxon and her brothers from the Cave Dwarven tribe on her behalf. Said that the headquarters of Flordo will do everything in its power to help our oldest ally.
After the dead fat man and I conveyed the meaning of the ninth brother to Chief Tyxon, we discussed it for a while, and finally said to Chief Tyxon: "Old Tai, for you, everything is a problem now, this world is too new for you, if you really leave it alone, you may not be able to make some mess." ”
Chief Tyxon said yes repeatedly, I nodded, and said, "Since you can't, you have to learn, this is nothing to say, right?" But now there is a problem, we don't understand the language, and now only Yamantha can be the translator, so I think you must first master a foreign language so that you can communicate with us Terrans. ”
At this point, Chief Tyxon didn't insist on anything, he said, "This is as it should be, actually...... I'm not afraid of your jokes, the language we speak now is not the dwarven language spoken by our ancestors, but the ancient centaur language, which is said to be because our distant ancestors once joined the powerful centaur dynasty. ”
The dead fat man has always been polite when he encounters unpoliteness, and waved his big hand: "You can learn Chinese first, and within a day or two, we will transfer a Chinese teacher from the headquarters to you." Chief Tyxon asked, knowing that the headquarters was tens of thousands of kilometers away from here, and he was startled and thanked him for it.
I heard the word centaur dynasty fresh, so I smiled and asked, "What dynasty are you talking about?" Centaur Dynasty? Why haven't I heard of it? What kind of dynasty is that? ”
When I asked, Tyxon stopped him, and he looked back at his several dwarven elders in embarrassment, and one of the eldest, the eldest, coughed dryly and said, "Those are just old legends. "I thought to myself that legends are legends, as long as you don't close your eyes and talk nonsense, those ancient histories, even the Chinese who like to record history the most have not recorded it, it is really a pity."
The dwarven elder sneered, "Listen to the elders who passed away, a long, long time ago, our world had no concept of a state. Elves, dwarves, giants, orcs, and sea tribes have appeared one after another, and all intelligent beings have lived a chaotic life. However, in comparison, the various elves who are the children of nature are absolutely adapted to the environment, so their lives are relatively easy. This made the other intelligent races who worked hard very envious, and they all believed that the elves were the children of the gods, and they offered tribute as a sign of respect. After a long time, three high-level elves and five relatively small lower-level elf groups were slowly formed. ”
"The eight elven races are all matriarchal societies, and each clan has its own elven king. In ancient times, all kinds of fierce beasts were very vicious, and there were often fights between various intelligent beings, especially between orcs who worshiped different elven kings. ”
"The scale of this conflict is getting bigger and bigger, and it is gradually getting to the point of chaos in the world. Many tribes suffered heavy casualties, which seriously affected the amount of tribute received by the Elven Kings. Later, the eight elven kings were forced to decide to unify and establish the earliest regime: the Great Elf Empire. ”
"It is said that the lord of the Great Elf Empire is called a god, the son of the gods, and is served by the three superior elven kings of the moon elves, flower elves, and jade elves in turn, and the eight elf clans work together to resolve disputes, ease contradictions, and finally clean up the chaotic situation, and the world is peaceful again."
"For millions of years since, everyone has continued to pay tribute to the elves. The gods of the empire have gradually adapted to the life of the ruling class, and they have begun to woo the druids, known as the children of the jungle. The Druids are said to be a powerful race that can transform and are the most dangerous killers in the jungle. After the druids were bought, the elves succeeded in wooing the dwarves, who trained the strong dwarves into armies that could sweep through everything...... Everyone thought that the Elf Empire would last forever. ”
"But things are not people, the times are different, the dark elves outside the eight elf races, although they are also elves, but because of their perverse behavior, they are excluded from the system by the major elf races. The Dark Elves are the lowest, they have fallen from the evil thoughts of the elves, and they are not only extraordinary in archery, but also insidious and cunning, very terrifying. They build their nests in dark caves, and the dark elf woman is the most **** woman in the world! The women of the Dark Elves are extremely protile, but there are basically no males among the offspring, and even if they do, they will die of energy exhaustion at a young age because they can't stand the endless marriage. ”
When I heard this, I didn't understand, and I couldn't help but ask, "Without males, how can the dark elves reproduce offspring?" Won't these dark elves soon become extinct? "Sounds mysterious, but the question is, there's no cloning technology here, right?
The dwarven elder smiled strangely and said, "The answer is very simple, every year, the dark elves will go out under the leadership of the head man to capture men, whether it is a handsome orc or an ugly ogre, the dark elves don't care, as long as it is a man. ”
"Later, the power of the dark elf clan became bigger and bigger, and it was almost faintly able to compete with the three high-ranking elf clans. In exchange for peace, the gods of the country at that time convened the Elven King Assembly, and everyone decided to accept the Dark Elves lineage and change the eight elves into nine elves. It is said that after the Dark Elves joined, the Elves had a total of 100 Elf Clans under the rule of the Nine Great Clans, which is the origin of the idiom 'Hundred Spirits' that people often said later. ”
"Unfortunately, the Dark Elves have shown their greed and wickedness when they enter the ruling class, increasing the amount of tribute, robbing anyone they want, and executing anyone who dares to oppose them...... This eventually led to discontent throughout the country, with the druids and dwarves withdrawing from the core of the empire, and the war against the Dark Elves was no longer in the way. ”
"Orcs, goblins, gnomes, ogres, treants, winged people...... All intelligent beings unite and drive the Dark Elves out of the sea under the leadership of the Tiger Orcs. What everyone didn't expect was that the Great Elf Empire, which had been passed down for hundreds of generations, collapsed and no one mentioned it again. ”
"Although in the process of crusading against the dark elves, the eight elven clans also did their best, and even paid a lot of sacrifices. However, after the victory, the people no longer regarded the elves as heroes, and no one went to worship the gods of the country, and the orcs became heroes. The Elven Empire is gone, and the age of orcs has arrived. ”
"The orcs imitated the system of the Great Elf Empire and selected five nobles, and the five nobles took turns serving as kings. But the problem is that the orcs are a very selfish race, and it is difficult to coexist peacefully like elves, and everyone wants to gain a little more benefits, so it didn't take long for the internal collapse of the orc empire. ”
"Of course, the orcs are not monolithic, not to mention the almost uncountable large and small populations of the orcs, just in their external form, there are three completely different factions, including the human race that has fully evolved into a human body, as well as the half-human and half-beast lion people, beautiful snakes and other half-orcs, and the last kind of four-legged people."
"The orcs quickly divided their spheres of influence according to their external forms, and the result was a three-legged situation, with the three races opposing each other and soon becoming independent. The orcs first established the orc empire, and the human race did not establish a state, but also elected a co-leader. And the last large group, the four-legged people, was immediately forced to the edge of life and death, but fortunately, among the four-legged people, there was a rare genius, this genius was the patriarch of the deer clan, Hujia Khan. ”
"From an evolutionary point of view, the Centaur Warrior is a typical half-human, half-beast, and there is really no comparison with other intelligent races in the Snowy Great Wasteland. Most of the other races evolved into full-fledged human bodies, retaining only the orc mark: the tail. And for a natural short-tailed race like the Snowstorm Bear Warrior, if it weren't for the fact that they retained some of their body fur for the sake of hardiness, they would at least look very close to humans. Therefore, for a long time, everyone regarded the Centauer warriors as barbarians with no civilization to speak of, synonymous with backwardness, ignorance and stupidity. Almost all other tribes see the deauer as a monster. ”
"The physical strength of the centaur is slightly inferior to that of the reindeer, and although the difference is small, it is enough to let the prey around them escape. At that time, the centaurs could only feed their hunger by picking plant fruits. When the snow covers the mountains, herds of deauer gather under the cliffs to peel moss from the rocks. In order to survive, they had to be extremely careful, because the slightest tremor could cause the 10,000-year-old snow on top of the cliff to collapse down. ”
"It happens every year that a tribe is collectively buried by an avalanche in an instant. In the spring of the following year, it is not uncommon to see the carcasses of a dozen or even dozens of large and small centaur appearing under the melting snow, allowing wild wolves and vultures to nibble at them. Therefore, many people are predicting that the Centaur family will disappear from this world in a short time. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, and races that do not adapt to the harsh environment are destined to be eliminated by nature, and no one will sigh about this. ”
"But fate loves to play jokes with his people. About five years ago, a young man named Hujia Khan appeared in the group of deaer, who invented a throwing spear sharpened from antlers. The slender stick with an antler spear tip mounted on the tip can be hurled over a long distance and pierced deep into the body of the prey. ”
"The use of tools is a sign that distinguishes an intelligent race from a wild beast. Because people of other races can bend down and squat calmly, simple stone tools and simple tools such as stone knives, stone axes, wooden sticks, and animal bones have been widely used. However, for the extension of weapons, in the entire history of civilization of intelligent races, it was the centaur warrior who first invented it. ”
"After the advent of the throwing gun, the survival ability of the Centaur family has suddenly advanced several steps. They already have a long-range running ability that is unmatched by other races, and can easily approach their prey, and then calmly throw their javelins to kill the prey...... In a word, the source of food is no longer a problem. In addition to reindeer, there are countless prey in the great wilderness, ranging from yellow sheep, wild horses, wild boars, bison, wild asses, wild camels, and snow hares, grouse, roe deer, and roe deer...... Aside from some large offensive beasts, the deauer no longer has any natural predators. ”
"The guarantee of food has greatly improved the physical strength of the centaur warriors. Although in terms of individual strength, the Centauer Warrior is not the best warrior, but the vast Great Wasteland provides a vast space for these Heavenly Pride who are good at long-range running. If it weren't for the fact that the natural fertility of the Centauer warriors was average, they could only give birth to one child in a few years, and the entire base of the population was not large, otherwise they would have been able to write history long ago. ”
"But among the four-legged families, the centaurs are thriving and have countless descendants, and when the centaur warriors learned to use the throwing spear, the last glory of the orc civilization finally shined: the centaur dynasty was born. This is a brand new regime that dares to speak directly to the Orc Empire. The Centaur King was generous and benevolent, won the support of the dwarves, was accepted by the elves, and became an ally of the treants. ”
"The five nobles of the Orc Empire were very panicked, at first they used to regard the human race with the highest birth rate as the first enemy, but the rapid development of the Centaur Dynasty frightened the five orc nobles, they recruited the army that was ready to attack the Terran Race, desperately attacked the Centaur Dynasty, and finally wiped out the Centaur Dynasty. The remnants of the four-legged people retreated to the eastern lands, and were received by the Terran co-lords, and the two groups of centaurs were integrated, and with the help of the dwarves, they finally defeated the orc army and completely conquered the world. ”
After the story of the dwarven elder was finished, he added: "These are all old legends, they can't be true, many of them may have been added by later generations, what was the situation back then, how our ancestors multiplied, but no one can say clearly." ”
I nodded silently, not knowing what to say. Chief Tyxon said with a smile: "Our cave dwarves have been living in underground mines since ancient times, and have lived peacefully for thousands of years. Hardly anything has changed. The natural conditions inside the cave are not good, and the food supply is especially problematic, and it can only feed 3,500 dwarves at most. The story you just heard is the only legend we have...... Almost everyone knows that. ”
I sighed, although the dwarves are suspicious by nature, they are all straight, and expecting them to make up stories is tantamount to expecting Lao Hua to really become a monk, and what they say may really be history. (To be continued.) )
