The background story of the King Continent is recorded

When the footsteps of the gods walked through the desert in the clouds, they left behind a long jade road that led from the Great Wall to the King's Canyon. For thousands of years, this road has resounded the camel bells of merchants, galloped through ironclad cavalry, and ushered in eager seekers. These seekers have carved a thousand grottoes under the cliffs of the mountains, and have engraved the blood and marrow of generations with the knowledge imparted by the gods and the texts that have been painstakingly copied. For this reason, people called this place the Thousand Cave City.

For thousands of years, the Thousand Caves City has become the most famous school city in the desert in the clouds. When it comes to the quantity and quality of the classics collected here, both the most powerful Jinting City and the nobles of Jade City, which was once famous for its wealth, are full of yearning. I'm afraid that only Chang'an City in the eastern part of the continent and the legendary Jixia Academy can win. The city is home to statues of the most famous scholars of all ages, whose names are revered along with the fruits of their wisdom.

The books that record the most difficult knowledge are stored in the Thousand Caves. Only selected scholars will be allowed to study. The family that manages the Thousand Grottoes enjoys the same lofty status as the nobles of the great desert cities such as Jinting City and Jade City, and is respectfully called the "Chiming Seven Surname Family", which means the most dazzling glow in the desert. Garo and her fathers, her ancestors, are like the light of knowledge in the desert, the cave where books are stored for generations.

When Garo was a child, his mother died. As an only daughter, she grew up under her father's tutelage. As a patriarch and scholar, my father had extensive knowledge and noble character. He personally taught his daughter knowledge and a deep love of books.

"Look, these ancient handwritings. It was copied by the ancestors one by one. It even took a dozen taels of gold to borrow it from the collector for three days and spend the night sleeplessly copying it. ”

"Why is it so valuable?" The little girl asked, puzzled.

"Because of the war, many books have been destroyed. You have to be very careful to preserve it. So it will only be lent to those who really love it and have the strength to treasure it. ”

"But books don't fill your stomach, and they don't make life easy."

"This is true for most people. But, O Garo, it can give us eternal life. ”

"Eternal life? Isn't it easy to destroy books? ”

"Books record the origin of our ancestors, the history of our families, and the deeds of many other ancestors and other families...... Do you understand? The king's name, your name and mine...... Eventually, they all disappear into time. But even if we can only leave a few words, future generations will finally be able to hear what kind of wonderful civilization we have created. This is eternal life. ”

My father looked at the Thousand Caves City and said solemnly, "Books are indeed a fleeting thing. But civilization can be born in books, and civilization will last forever. ”

"Our family exists because of books and civilization."

The girl doesn't seem to understand. Influenced by the scrolls, she grew up day by day, and rode many times on horseback on the jade road, like her ancestors, and traveled long distances to buy or copy a certain text. She is the daughter of the Thousand Caves. For Thousand Caves City, books are not only books, but also the existence of faith.

But both she and her father forgot that the vast sea of books not only created civilization, but also recorded knowledge. And in knowledge, there is an unimaginable power: about destruction, about destruction.

The turning point came even earlier than expected. It was supposed to be a good day. The successor of the Jade City and the prefect of the Great Wall Guards, Su Lie, reached an agreement on mutual markets, so the two sides removed the guards and let the border residents communicate with each other. Jia Luo participated in this long-lost closed market and gained a lot. It's been a long time since I've been so indulgent in buying books from Chang'an. But she didn't know that this was the last beauty of the desert in the clouds, and the beginning of the calamity.

On the way back, she noticed an unusual movement of the demon seed. Although there are sporadic demon seeds on weekdays, such large-scale operations have never been seen before. The evil creature hovering turned out to be flying in the direction of Thousand Cave City. An ominous premonition came to mind, and soon became a reality: when she arrived, the entire Thousand Caves City had been torn apart by flames, screams, and hordes of demon seeds. The cliffs, carved with a thousand grottoes, are gradually crumbling.

"Father!" The longbow in his hand passed through the body of the demon seed. Garo struggled up the long stone steps, trying to get closer to the figure of his loved one.

The old man put down the staff in his hand. The entire Thousand Caves City fell unsuspectingly, and the pages were set ablaze by the flames and flew all over the sky. The hard work of generations was ruined.

Who are "you"? What do you want to get? Do you think that you can get what "you" crave by using the demon seed, by force, and by sacrificing the Thousand Cave City?

No! Books are a fleeting thing. Civilization, but it can endure forever.

But he proclaimed himself the guardian of the Thousand Caves City, and all kinds of struggles were so small and ridiculous in the face of overwhelming destructive power. When books cease to exist, the strength to support the body is gradually lost. Unstoppable heartache...... This broken body is no longer worthy of the responsibility to continue to shoulder.

"Father!"

The old man seemed to hear the call of his beloved daughter, and he paused for a moment, raised his cane as if to say hello, and waved it as if to say goodbye. Then, as if you usually walked leisurely through the collection of books that had accumulated the painstaking efforts of several generations of the family, slowly, quietly, but firmly walked into the collapsed grotto.

He chose to live and die with the book.

"Over to you, Garo".

The woman with the longbow stopped. Tears flowed silently down her cheeks.

"Father, I will finish your regrets. I'll bring back all the books that have been lost. ”

As the sun sets, she leaves her hometown to look for books scattered by the demon attack. At that time, she already knew that the Great Wall, the Jade City, and the Thousand Caves City ...... All in danger because of the demon seed. Inexplicable doubts lingered in my heart. Is the demon seed of abnormal action because of the collection of books in Thousand Cave City? Are they really related to some unknown knowledge in the collection of Thousand Caves?

"If, if the speculation is true...... I will also bear this sin. ”

For a long time, her footsteps traveled all over the desert in the clouds.

Until some time later...... A homeless person who was attacked by the demon seed brought her to the dying man. Garo healed the man and heard another story:

"I'm a sinner."

"I betrayed my friend's trust in me and saw him as a villain who attracted the demon seed. The peace of the Great Wall was ruined. ”

Garo put down the Qiang flute, and his calm heart at all times produced uneven ripples.

This is the encounter of two sinners.

This is where the truth begins.
