Chapter 13: History

Da Liang sat in a chair, playing with Brown's pistol and magic wand in his hands.

A silver revolver, very well made, with six bullets in it. The bullets and the body of the gun are engraved with complex magic patterns, which at first glance are industrialized alchemy weapons, and also give Da Liang a general understanding of the level of force in this world.

Trains, pistols, ...... Looking at the clothes of the human in front of him, it can be judged that this world has entered the age of steam-hot weapons. The steam engine technology is mature and widely used, the metallurgical technology has reached a certain level, the manufacturing industry is standardized and industrialized, and the production capacity is very high.

Other than that...... Magic also exists in this world, and there is a high level of use of magic and alchemy.

Technology and magic coexist, and both have reached a certain level, making it an interesting world.

And this human who was captured by Sophia still knows angels...... It shows that there are angels in this world, and Da Liang is more curious about the outside world.

Da Liang put the magic wand and pistol into the hands of Princess Ziling, and with her eyes, she could easily see what level of alchemy technology contained in them was.

Then Da Liang looked at Brown, waiting for his answer.

At this time, Brown was sweating profusely.

He didn't dare to see Da Liang as a harmless human child anymore, and even the extinct transcendent creature Angel appeared, and God knows what kind of ancient creature was sitting in front of him. Although he couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of magic power on his body, it showed that the other party's control over magic power had reached the level of returning to the basics.

This must be some ancient demon god!

Brown looked at the angel Julian for help, and ancient legend made him instinctively rely on the good angel.

After Da Liang saw Brown's gaze, he said, "You don't have to look at my guardian angel, I asked her to kill you, she will definitely not hesitate."

All right...... Since it didn't happen, I won't hold you accountable for your intent to assassinate me.

Now I have some questions that I need you to answer for me.

It may take a bit of time, and you can stand up and answer. ”

Brown stood up suddenly, his spirit was sluggish, and the whole person was still immersed in the panic of the ancient civilization, and asked in a trembling voice: "Respected ...... Your Excellency, may I ask you...... You...... What do you want to know from me? ”

"All...... All things about the outside world. Let's start with yourself...... I'll interrupt you from time to time to ask me something I want to know. ”

Brown didn't know why he was asking, but he could only start with himself. From the Jennings family to the Floiminque Empire, from the province of Marcellus to the Hundred Years' War.

The situation on the mainland, the foreign people abroad...... Industry, magic, alchemy, education, government...... And that lost history.

As time passed, Da Liang interrupted Brown's narration at any time to ask his own questions, and then led to another big topic.

The whole day, Da Liang spent the whole day talking to Brown, he didn't waste any time or rest, he asked the maid to bring the meal here, and talked with Brown while eating.

The food and wine he had never tasted before made Brown forget for a moment the danger he was in, as a professor of magic at the Salo Young School of Magic, he knew all kinds of things about the world, and he could tell some rough questions about Da Liang, if not accurately.

It's about the same as Da Liang's estimate.

The use of steam technology in this world has reached a level not reached during the first industrial revolution on Earth, mainly because magic and alchemy have allowed the steam engine to be miniaturized and the use of heat efficiency to be higher.

Steam technology has brought about the rapid development of the entire society's industry, and metallurgical technology has changed the world's war mode from the era of cold weapons to the era of hot weapons. Magicians are transitioning from front-line combatants to logistical scientists and strategic forces. The ordinary mages who can be killed by civilians using powerful alchemy pistols are no longer the transcendent they once were, and they are still respected but their privileges are no longer so obvious.

The political systems of various countries are also diverse, ranging from centralized monarchy, federalism, and parliamentary systems...... Autocracy, Democracy, Zen Concession, Recommendation...... The list goes on.

Ethnicity is clustered...... The Terrans occupy the most suitable land for survival in the largest order continent, and elves, orcs, and other vulnerable races are squeezed on the lofty mountains and snowy fields in the north.

There are other continents overseas, but the conditions are far inferior to those of the order continent. The Terrans are also widely distributed on overseas continents, but they are not as strong as the Terrans on the Order Continent, and they are basically attached to some powerful racial countries.

The situation in the world as a whole cannot be explained in a few words. Brown's knowledge and insight are also limited, and it is impossible to present the world in its entirety before Da Liang's eyes, and can only tell a general impression.

And Da Liang and Brown's topic is mostly in the history of the world.

Due to historical reasons, there has been a serious fault line in the civilization of this world.

Based on a summary of the available information...... History is divided into four phases:

the Ancient Age of Magic; the Theocratic Age; The Dark Ages and the Age of Discovery.

The Ancient Age of Magic was a period of the heyday of a magical civilization. According to the archaeology of some ancient ruins, the ancient magical world is composed of many planes. Humans, beasts, elves, elementals and other races, and even the undead have their own huge planes for the continuation and survival of the race.

Each race is guarded by several 16th-order law-level heroes, and each race has unique transcendent creatures. At that time, you could see angels, demons, Beamon, Titans, and other creatures who were born as 14th-order transcendent beings on the street at any time, and there were even creatures that were born as 15th-order saint-level beings.

The ancient age of magic was really extraordinary, as many as dogs, and holy thrones were everywhere. Magical and alchemical civilizations have reached their extremes, allowing people to teleport over distances and travel across planes...... The pomp and circumstance is unprecedented.

Behind the ancient magical age was the theocratic age.

When the magical civilization reached a bottleneck where it could not be promoted, an unknown law-level powerhouse opened the god plane and let the gods descend...... The world has entered a theocratic age.

Soon, the gods launched a divine war for the faith of the world.

In that era, there were mortals who became gods, and there were gods who fell. The war affects all planes of the world, and no race is immune to it, fighting either for their god or for themselves.

The once glorious magical civilization has been destroyed over and over again, and countless lives have disappeared in the 500-year-long divine war. The earth is torn apart, the rivers and seas flow backwards, and the planes collide and merge into a new world. A large number of races disappeared in that Doomsday War......

Until one day the war suddenly ended.

The gods all seem to have left the ruins, presumably believing that the lifeless world has lost its meaning of being contested.

And those who survived the Divine War began to rebuild the world.
