205. True History
Oriana gave Rohr a general idea of the dragons of this world.
They did exist, and perhaps they were, and anyway, they can be described in some historical texts.
The image is still the kind of big lizard with wings, not like the bells and whistles in Rohr's impression.
But I don't know exactly when, maybe a few hundred to a thousand years ago, they became extinct.
The specific reasons are unknown, but later generations speculated that there were no more than three.
The number is scarce and the reproduction is not effective.
The environment has changed and is no longer livable.
The meat is delicious, the bones are tough, the horns are beautiful, and the scales are gorgeous......
Many people prefer the third reason, after all, there is no killing without buying and selling......
There are also some people who think that some of the current wurm species are actually the dragons of the past who took the initiative to give up the delicious taste, tough bones and gorgeous appearance in order to survive under the butcher's knife.
There are also many people who support this statement.
After some evaluation, Oriana decided that this one-handed sword made of dragon bones should be the most valuable antique found in this temple so far.
This is a real out-of-print weapon, the kind that has never been reproduced again.
Moreover, the social atmosphere of the empire is still martial, and swordsmanship has an excellent mass base, resulting in sword antiques being several times more valuable than all kinds of bottles and jars, especially this well-preserved and unique one-handed sword.
It qualifies as the finale of a themed auction, and it is still the highest standard, only for celebrities.
In contrast, the seed bottles and boar teeth that Rohr found could not be sold for much money.
Because mortals simply cannot discern the value of these things.
They didn't even know what a demon was, so how could they know what a demon fang was?
And these things are so quiet that they don't emit any extra fluctuations, as if they were dead.
Even a learned ninth-order saint like Orianna only regarded them as expired holy relics that had lost their effectiveness.
But in fact, it's because they're in a perfect state, and this state of being quiet enough and calm enough is actually the ideal situation for holy relics.
This means that they unleash their most powerful power when they burst out, and they will demand the lowest price when they are quiet, and only then will they be able to burst out with enough power and a price that humans can afford.
According to the existing transcendental theories of mankind, the holy objects of this state should exist only in the theory, because they are so perfect and powerful that they are divorced from reality.
In order for a sacred relic to achieve this state, it is theoretically necessary to make it with the most primitive and pure mystery, through exquisite design, and with the highest means.
At the same time, it also requires a demigod-level powerhouse to spend countless hours caring for and polishing to achieve this ideal state.
But once promoted to a demigod, he needs to sleep for most of the time, and he doesn't have the time to toss this, which becomes an unsolvable false proposition.
So Oriana didn't recognize it, and she didn't blame her, after all, dozens of villagers in the small mountain village could only make up a total of 12 such holy relics.
Moreover, the holy relics in this state cannot be used by ordinary people, let alone dismantled and restored, and it is not wrong to say that they are worthless.
"If you like it, keep it as a souvenir."
Orianna whispered a reminder beside Rohr.
She watched as Rohr played with the sword over and over again, as if she liked it very much.
In fact, she also liked this sword, but at this time, she chose to be humble.
Although it is a top-notch collection at auction level, with Oriana's net worth, there is no shortage of collections of the same level in her showroom.
Give it to her husband, and you won't lose it.
Men, there is always a need for some precious private collections.
As for the question of whether such a valuable antique could fill his pocket, Oriana didn't care.
Don't care.
She was a ninth-order sage of the Scholars Guild, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks about her?
As for the institutions that are qualified to oversee the Scholars' Society, isn't its leadership close to her?
However, after some play, Rohr returned the dragon bone sword to Orianna.
"It doesn't feel good in the hand, and the design at the hilt doesn't fit well, so it should be a model designed specifically for women, or men with slender fingers."
Rohr explained.
As a qualified swordsman, he cares very much about the feeling of the hand, once the hand feels uncomfortable, no matter how good the sword is, he can't look down on it.
And he didn't think that he would keep this sword private, those worthless little things could still be kept as a souvenir, and such high-value things must not be touched.
After inspecting this floor, the family of three temporarily left the temple and went back to rest.
Over the next two days, the family of three carefully inspected the underground part of the temple.
As a result, no dangerous monsters were found, and the sudden appearance of the giant black beetle before was just an accident?
And the whole exploration process can be regarded as frightening, there are a few times when the mechanism is triggered, only to suddenly fall on the ceiling, or suddenly shoot arrows from the wall or something.
But this is basically no threat to a family of three who are all eighth-order legends, which is equivalent to the level of a haunted house in a playground, right? The two swords shattered from the falling ceiling, and the dark arrows that shot out didn't even leave a mark on the transformed armor.
It wasn't until they reached the last two floors that the Rohr family came across something that could move.
At that time, Rohr found a coffin-shaped cabinet on the second floor of the temple and went to check if there was anything hidden inside.
As a result, a skeleton suddenly popped out of it, and its eyes glowed bloodthirsty red.
"Wow!"
Rohlton was taken aback.
And the skeleton's reaction was strange.
It was also taken aback by Rohr......
I saw it jump up violently, making a gesture of covering its face with both hands, and screaming in shock.
As a result, I used too much force and accidentally took off my head......
Then the entire skeleton was scattered......
Rollton felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I haven't even done it yet?"
"And why are you scared to death by a living person when you have a skeleton?"
Next, he also encountered some necromantic creatures such as ghosts and unjust souls.
At the sight of him, the necromantic creatures reacted in the same way as the skeletons before them, scurrying around in fright, only to crash headfirst into the surrounding walls.
They refused to give up, and could only bang weakly against the wall, letting out a series of roars.
I couldn't understand what they were screaming, but it felt like they were shouting: Let me out!
Blame the poor ......
In short, the only little bit of thrill is that, it's really just the level of haunted house exploration in the playground.
As for the harvest, in addition to the special coffin that popped out of the skeleton, a huge warhammer and a particularly oddly shaped spear were found on the bottom two floors.
Rohr didn't have any interest in these things, but he paid a little attention to them, took them out, threw them into the pile of cultural relics, and handed them over to professionals to analyze and study.
As for the story on the mural, the elves also mastered extraordinary power at a critical moment, gave birth to the first batch of occult users, and successfully resisted the attack of the suspected Yayaraka people after paying a heavy price.
Then it was a smooth ride, building many cities, forming a country, and then after several large-scale wars, finally gaining a foothold in the northwest of the continent.
Throughout the story, the establishment and continuation of the elven civilization is also full of bloodshed and violence, which actually has nothing to do with the various beautiful impressions they left on human beings, such as beauty, elegance, and peace.
If you want to survive, you can't rely on that.
"Therefore, swordsmanship cannot be lost, we must have the power to protect ourselves!"
Rohr used this history on the mural to educate his daughter, for fear that she would concentrate on her academics and lose her family swordsmanship.
Naturally, Klee nodded vigorously.
In fact, she still prefers swordsmanship to history, but her father seems to want her to study history, so naturally she can't go against her father's expectations.
Fortunately, she is also interested in history itself.
Oriana, on the other hand, has been pondering the origin of the elves' secret arts.
She felt that the description of the mural was a little strange, and with her knowledge of the occult arts, it was almost impossible for this kind of thing to be mastered by herself without the support of a mature system.
At that time, the elves were forced to retreat by the Yayaraka people, and it was already a matter of life and death, and it was impossible for them to have the leisure and spare energy to study these, they did not have such conditions.
This is a whole system, and it is something that requires a lot of talent, a lot of time, and a lot of money to concentrate on research, and it is not something that can be solved by a genius who suddenly pops up.
However, the mural depicts this very omitted, and it looks as if a group of people suddenly learned the secret art with a pat on the head, and then they can fight against the Yayaraka civilization, which has mastered the secret art for a long time.
It's outrageous!
For this question, the sweetheart neighbor who watched the live broadcast of Luoer's adventure was also very curious, and asked Ah Da specifically.
"How did you fight against the Yayarakakar?"
Because of some arrangements left by Ah Da, Roel's adventures in the temple have been live online, and they are in high-definition 4K, and even the murals on the walls can be seen clearly.
Ah Da smiled evilly and replied:
"It's nothing more than those ordinary means, refuge, differentiation, co-optation, and the use of some beauty."
"Although the Yayaraka people were prosperous at that time, they were not monolithic inside, and after the elves took the initiative to sacrifice a few beautiful elven girls, they got some respite."
"Later, some of the elves came into contact with Lukakia, the main god worshiped by Yayaraka, who was killed by the village chief last time, through the Yayaraka people who were co-opted."
"And Lukáchia, as the original creator of the arcane arts, the original demon god, has reached the existence of the apex of the elemental system, and before he fell, his temperament was very easy-going, and he generously accepted the elves as his believers, which is very similar to the village chief......"
"After that, the war between the elves and Yayaraka will naturally end."
Ah Da's answer was very different from the description on the mural, according to the mural, they had beaten the Yayaraka people through many bloody wars before they gave up their hostility.
But the real history is completely different.
And Ah Da continued to explain:
"This history was originally known only to the elven emperors of the past dynasties, but when it was my turn, I decided to seal it forever and never mention it again, if it weren't for the fact that I am no longer an elf, I definitely wouldn't have said it."
"But please keep it a secret for me."
The fat man and the others who were watching nodded and continued to ask:
"And after that? The elves found Lucakia showing signs of depravity and turned their backs on him? ”
Ah Da nodded and replied:
"It was a decision made by my previous emperor, and in the course of his faith in Lukaccia, he discovered that although this god was powerful, he was actually badly wounded, which should have been a wound left by the god war earlier......"
"After he had sheltered the elves for a while, he showed many signs of depravity, and his disposition was no longer as gentle as before, and became more and more chaotic and cruel......"
"The Yayaraka people were also aware of this, and for the survival of their respective communities, the two civilizations began to secretly carry out the 'treacherous' plan, began to demolish their temples, banned related sacrifices, and sealed the relevant documents......"
"You should also know what happened after that, after paying a terrible price, the elves and the Yayaraka people successfully sealed Lukachia, and the elven emperor who participated in the war at that time also died in that war, so it was my turn to ......"
"These contents are actually recorded on the murals on the upper floors, but the village chief hasn't had time to go up to see them, and I also felt something in this battle of the gods, so I found a way to advance to the 11th rank."
When Ah Da said this, his tone became a little sad, and the smile on his face gradually converged.
The fat man seemed to guess his thoughts, and asked in a low voice:
"Looks like you're aware of something?"
Ah Da nodded and admitted:
"Yes, at that time, I had just been promoted to a demigod, and my understanding and mastery of the transcendent were very poor, and I naively thought that the battle of the gods was a great victory for us......"
"It wasn't until after I was promoted that I gradually understood that at that time, we couldn't confront a god head-on......"
"Yes, although Lukaccia had fallen into an evil god at that time, he was still sealed of his own free will, and as a true god, he maintained some reason in that situation."
"And when He awoke again, he did not erase the local civilians, but simply enjoyed their worship......
As he spoke, a wry smile appeared on his face again, and he sighed in a low voice:
"But these are all in the past, and fortunately the village chief appeared in time to grant him eternal liberation, otherwise he would have suffered longer and more painfully......
