"In fact, there is not only one emperor and four kings in this world, but only one emperor and four kings in the camp of humans and elves."

The witch's smile turned bitter, but the message she uttered destroyed Gregory's worldview.

In the world that Gregory originally knew, the first emperor and four kings were the most powerful people and the pillars of the whole world, but now the witch told him that there were other kings besides the first emperor and four kings?

"Fire, not only a tool to dispel the gray mist, but also the most fundamental power of this world, contains the truth of this world, is the key to grasp the whole world, some people come into contact with fire, firm belief in protecting this world, while others have ambitions, vainly trying to keep the fire for themselves."

The witch sighed softly, as if to sigh at the powerful who had gone astray, or at the ill-fated fate of the world.

Just as Gregory digested the information, the witch threw out an even more shocking news: "Actually, the fire was extinguished once. ”

……

"What? The fire has ever been extinguished? ”

In the tower of the Blue City, Sawyer's face was full of surprise, as far as he knew, fire was the foundation of the existence of the ring city, if the fire had been extinguished, then the ring city should also be destroyed.

"The fire has indeed been extinguished."

Rowena nodded, and let out another sigh: "But fortunately, after the fire is extinguished, there are still embers left, which gives us a chance to remedy." ”

"Originally, only we, as kings, were qualified to know about the secrets of those days, but now that the world is on the verge of collapse, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The gray fog calendar used now actually starts with the succession of the new emperor, and before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the gray fog calendar was always used.

At the beginning, the City of Hope had just been established, and the King of Golden Flames, located in the center of the continent, drew up a new era name and calendar, and when the seven ring cities were finally established and the whole world stabilized, the seven of us discussed and announced the official launch of the Gray Mist Calendar on the day of sending the old day, and that year, that is, the first year of the Gray Mist. ”

At this point, Rowena paused, as if reminiscing about the time of the year, and waited a few minutes before continuing.

In the first 100 years, with the efforts of the seven kings, the seven rings of the city are developing on the good side - the sheltered area is getting larger and larger, the residents of the ring city are increasing, and all kinds of properties have begun to have a surplus after ensuring self-sufficiency.

It seems that as long as this momentum is maintained, the world will eventually return to its original state.

Even if the vast majority of people have forgotten what the world was like at the beginning, even if many of the strong people who were promoted later are unwilling to inject their own strength into the fire.

But the seven kings did not go, they continued to call and publicize, leading the strong men at that time, continuously injecting energy into the fire, so that the area where the fire and the tower could shelter became larger and larger.

However, in the 131st year of the Grey Mist Calendar, a strong man born in the Grey Mist Calendar openly refused to provide energy to the fire, and questioned the Seven Kings, believing that the fire could be automatically strengthened without the injection of external energy, and all the energy injected was stolen by the Seven Kings to strengthen their own power.

"If I really do this, how can it be that for hundreds of years, my strength has not grown in the slightest?"

Rowena's voice was a little pathetic, the original questioner was from the Sapphire Ring City, and the first one to be questioned was her, the King of Sapphires, Rowena.

However, this kind of remark did not get the approval of many people, after all, there were still many old powerhouses at that time, all of whom had survived from the early days of the Gray Mist Era, and they all understood the hard work of the seven kings, and even dedicated their strength to that goal.

As a result, the opposition quickly died down, and the seven ring cities returned to their original calm, however, a seed of distrust had been planted.

Due to the changes in the world, the increase in lifespan of strong strength has become weaker and weaker, even if it is a long-lived elf, the lifespan has become almost the same as that of humans, and in the 172nd year of the gray fog calendar, the first strong man from the old era came to the end of his life and left this world forever.

The death of the strong people in the old era is like turning on a switch, the strong people from the old era died one after another, and finally, after nearly a hundred years, the strong people from the old era are only the last twelve people, who are called the seven ancient kings and the five new kings.

At this time, the twelve kings have also seen that death is inevitable, and instead of indulging in the sorrow of the passing of the old man, it is better to stride forward and end this gray era.

At the very least, the power of the living camp is much stronger than before.

But in 296, the voices of skepticism reappeared, as if they had learned the lesson of the "predecessors", and this time the skeptics changed their accusations, believing that the twelve kings were using the power of others to extend their own lives!

"Ignorance."

Sawa couldn't help but scold, the reason why the kings have a long lifespan is because they have once again condensed the realm, cut off their dependence on this world, and their lifespan has naturally returned to normal, just like the mythical powerhouses in the present world, even humans can have hundreds of thousands of years of life.

Rowena and other ancient kings and new kings naturally also explained to other strong people, but the others did not believe this explanation, but instead interrupted the function of fire, so the expansion of the ring city stopped for the first time, and the twelve kings saw that they could not persuade everyone to change their minds, so they simply stopped the function of fire and cultivated for themselves for the first time.

After all, there is no need to say much about this kind of thing, as long as you wait for a while, let everyone understand that after the energy supply is stopped, the shelter will stop expanding, and the others will naturally understand.

As expected, the others panicked when they found out that the shelter had stopped expanding, but the skeptics came up with new claims, believing that the twelve kings were drawing on the power of fire that caused the shelter to stop.

However, the ancient kings and the new kings had expected this, and after stopping the energy supply, they left the tower and cultivated with other strong people, so this statement was self-defeating, and tens of thousands of skeptics were arrested, and the core members of it were executed in public.

Since then, the Seven Rings have regained calm and the sanctuary has begun to expand again.
