Act 131 The Millennial Empire
When the Dark Dragon arrived in Odin's generation, the civilization and rule of the Minr reached its peak, but the prosperity was beneath the discordant notes: at that time, the protagonists of the land were not the Black Iron People who now reigned in Vainde, they were no more than barbarians in the mountains and forests, and the main members of the Black Iron People, the humans and the mountain dwarves, were all vassals of the Minr. The Miner people's attitude towards the people of black iron is very indifferent, especially when the dark dragon arrives in Odin's generation, the empire is rampant, and the more harsh it is to its vassal peoples, Odin has conquered the humans on the Great Plains to build fortresses on the glaciers, and migrated the dwarves to the Cloud Mountains, just these two great migrations, the dwarves and humans have lost nearly half of their population.
The Miner did this to their own vassal peoples, not to mention the rest of the Black Iron People, often with bloody repression. At that time, the Silver Elves and Mist Elves already had their own kingdoms, and although most of them were closed to the world, they still had to deal with the outside world, but the Miner people were high up and ignored these Silver People, and only looked down on the Buga people who had established their cities on the Shining Coast at that time - these wizards were said to be the guardians of the Tower of Babel and the descendants of the Scholars of Ochidu.
As for the dragons, they were in the midst of the famous Otto Rebellion, and they had no time to care, let alone deal with the outside world.
The people of Miner are getting prouder and more arrogant day by day, and their rule is becoming more and more severe day by day, and one day, the contradictions that have arisen will burst like a volcano. As recorded in history, the opportunity came when Odin ordered the Fog Elves and the Miners to go to the Great Glacier to participate in the battle against the barbarians, and this order deeply hurt the sensitive and arrogant self-esteem of the Fog Elves, so they naturally refused this unreasonable request mercilessly.
Odin was furious and immediately ordered Sebes to lead a large army to attack the Laurel Forest, where the kingdom of the Fog Elves was located, and the fuse of the Battle of the Sages began.
"He has to be angry," said the Queen of the Wind, sighing to herself, "Odin is a smart man. He saw the contradictions within the empire, and he wanted to deter others by making us submit, but what he didn't expect was that we would dare to refuse. β
Odin was too impatient, and Brando frowned as he thought that he had met the Miner Emperor once in a dream when he was receiving the inheritance of the Dark Dragon. At the beginning, the impression left by the other party on him was not that kind of stubborn and self-serving, but when he was trying to figure out the mentality of the elves, he made a huge mistake - the people of silver also have their own pride, and the fog elves are not vassals of the Miner people, how can they bow down to the Miner people.
Saint-Osall saw his face. Knowing what he was thinking, she shook her head and said, "The will of the dark dragon is not so easy to refuse, you can't imagine how powerful the Minr people were in that era, Brando, you know that the silver elves are brave and good at fighting, but they may not be able to win even against the legions of the Minr people." Not to mention us. β
"And ...... you," Brando asked, puzzled.
"We were prompted beforehand." The wind queen replied word by word.
"What!?"
"We got a promise from the Buga people," the wind queen slowed down her tone and said slowly: "Actually, the big 6 has been dissatisfied with the Miner people for a long time, needless to say inside the empire, outside the empire, whether it is the silver elves or the fog elves, in fact, no one wants to be a marginal person. The commitment of the Buga people is like an opportunity for us. Soon the Silver Elves also joined this secret covenant, and coincidentally, as if it was the arrangement of their own destiny in the dark, it was at this time that the human resistance army that was suppressed by the Miner people back then also crossed the wasteland under the leadership of Geert, the King of Fire, and returned to Vaughnd-"
"We are in the field of Shiraishi today. Signed the covenant that has survived to this day, the oath you call the Holy Covenant. From then on, the battle of the Sages began, and the aftermath of life. You know that. β
When Brando heard this, he didn't ask, because he knew that these were all histories that he was familiar with, and what this elven royal sister was going to tell him today must be another secret that no one knows. Sure enough, after a moment of silence, the Wind Queen spoke again: "But in fact, there are several doubts in the entire Sage War, the biggest one is - we later confirmed privately with the Buga people that the reason why they joined the war was because of the promise of the dragon, and they did not invite us before that. β
ββ¦β¦ As for the dragons, it's a similar situation. β
Brando raised his eyebrows, faintly smelling the smell of conspiracy from this passage.
"Gilt, the King of Fire, was guided by a mystery to walk through the dark wasteland, and in the early years, I, Geert, and Faenzan had adventures together on the Big 6, although we lost contact after he became the leader of the Resistance, but I believe that he would not lie on this issue - not to mention that Faenzan and Al Lanta had similar experiences."
"In other words, there is actually a force behind the battle of the Sages, and this force does not belong to any of the humans, elves, wizards, or dragons?" Brando finally stopped and asked.
The wind queen also stopped, and the former sage looked at the vast and blue sea of the sublime inland sea beyond the cloister, and his light purple eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance: "Yes, in fact, I met that person later, her name is Sophia, and she is a witch. β
"Female ...... Witch? Although before this, Brando had all kinds of answers in his mind, but he never thought that the special group of witches, they were the loyal embrace of the dark dragon, and even today, even if they are openly opposed to the order world, they do not give up their beliefs at all, not to mention, the king of witches, and the former mistress of the Minr Empire, how can such a group betray the Minr?
Feng Hou nodded: "This witch is the witch of the back seat of the law, they and the witch of the black moon in the thirteenth month are the two most unique witches in the witch world, Sophia is not her name, their orthodox heirs of each generation are called Sophia, just like the dark dragon, after the battle of the sages, she personally found me and told me this qiΔ." β
"Why?" Brando asked, puzzled.
"Because of the prophecy of the black."
"Black Prophecy?"
But the question is skipped after the wind. He asked to himself, "Brando, do you think that someone as smart as Odin would fall for his own calculations?" Could it be because he trusts the witches too much? No, it's not, I thought about it later, and I'm afraid he already knew about it. When we first revolted, even though the humans, dwarves, elves, and Buga, a few other peoples such as gnomes and halflings were united. But if we want to talk about whether we can truly defeat the empire, I'm afraid we don't know the bottom in our own hearts. The strength of the Miner people is unimaginable nowβ"
This was the second time she had said this, but it seemed like a matter of course to St. Otor the Queen of the Wind, because of the Miner Empire ruled by the Dark Dragon. It's so intimidating. "But they were defeated after all." Brando reassured. "No," the queen shook her head resolutely, "it's not as simple as you think, Brando. The Miners have always been involved in suppressing our uprising only by the legions of Sebes and Tumen, who belong to the Forbidden Army of the Dark Dragons and the Mentor Tumen. It's just militia. The Minr had seven legions, and these seven legions were never present throughout the Battle of the Sages. β
"What!?" This time Brando was really going to be surprised, if the seven legions of the Minr did not appear in the early stage of the Sage's War, it could be explained that they did not attract attention, but until the decisive battle between the Four Sages and Sebes, anyone with a discerning eye could see that at that time, the Minr dynasty had come to an end, and even the dark dragon Odin himself had to participate in the battle himself. Under such circumstances, it is very unlikely that the Miner are still hiding, unless the so-called Seven Legions of the Minr are nothing more than a complete hoax. But, is this possible?
"In fact, until we invaded the Arkash region, we thought that the Dark Dragon had set a trap to convince us that we had won. The only doubt is that most people feel more or less in their hearts that our little power may not make Odin so aggressive. It wasn't until Odin personally entered and lost in the final battle that we dared to believe that this qiΔ was real. In fact, until the final war, Odin did not use his strongest strength. β
Speaking of this, she paused: "You are also a traveling mage, Brando, do you know what kind of power a real traveling mage holds, that is the power of mortals, the power of a world." This power has its own system in the world of the traveling mage, and whether it is magic or physical strength that we have mastered, it is basically two levels of power, unless we can use the power of the entire world to fight against the power of the traveling mage's self-contained world, it is impossible for us to win. To put it simply, the traveling mage himself is actually a god, he is like a god who has come here from a distant world, he holds all the rules of that world, and the creatures and powers of the whole world are unconditionally obeyed by his commands, and they will fight against him unless they first become the gods of our world. But as we all know, the gods of our world have long been far away from earthly strife. So, theoretically, it's impossible for us to defeat Odin......"
"But the traveling mage also wants to grab resources, he can't squander his power indefinitely, Odin just changed a way, snatching power from this world to support the power of his world, as long as you find a way to defeat him from this source, it is not without hope of victory, and in fact, isn't that exactly what you do, Lord Wind Queen."
"You, like us at that time, thought too much about the problem, but the question is, the dark dragon is not just one person, he can take power from us, and he can also take power from other people, an emperor of the empire, with so many people who support him, will he really come alone to fight us?" For this question, Saint-Osor seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and calmly asked rhetorically.
Brando was stunned, he remembered that the last time the Queen of the Wind didn't say that, not to mention, history doesn't describe it like this: "But he came to challenge you single-handedly, is it because he is too confident?" β
"Odin is not a hairy boy anymore, he is the supreme of a vast empire, and he cannot do anything reckless for the sake of such a false name...... Actually, Faenzan and I saw some clues in the battle, and later Odin asked us to keep his secret before he died. Also confirmed my suspicions. β
"He made you ...... The four sages kept a secret for him, what kind of secret was that? When Brando asked this question, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly remedied: "I'm sorry, I mean...... If it's inconvenient, forget it. It occurred to him that since the Queen of the Wind had said this, it must have been the four sages who had agreed to Odin's request at that time. Some of the things that Tulaman had said to him before also proved this from the side, and since this was the case, he couldn't let the Queen of the Wind be a person who didn't believe in his word, not to mention that a hero like the Four Sages was unlikely to go back on his word.
But I didn't expect the wind queen to shake her head indifferently and said, "Actually, it's nothing." I came out today just to tell you the truth, and I thought about it, since you are the person chosen by Odin, there are some things that you should know. β
Brando kept his mouth shut, but frowned faintly, and he suddenly heard a goodbye in the elven maiden's tone. He vaguely felt that this sage who had been with him for so long and took care of him like an elder was afraid that he would choose to leave. Saint Osor pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "The secret he asked us to keep is very simple, that is, to make the outcome of the battle of the Sages a given fact, in fact, he had already expected this, and he told us something, the Dragon of Dusk was never really dead. The first generation of dark dragons, the Azure Knights, only seriously injured it and sent it back into the sea of chaos, but the hour hand of the Judgment of the End Day never slowed down. β
"There is a legend in the Black Prophecy that heroes will be born from among mortals, holding the key of destiny and opening another door to the future of this world. It was the rebirth of order above the ashes after all things and ragnarok. After the catastrophe of Babel's Fortress, civilization was once lost to the earth, once believed by many, including my generation. The hero among the mortals was none other than the Azure Knight. Because it was he who caused the stars to fall to the ground and ushered in the age of mortals. β
"However, fate has played a cruel joke on us, a secret that only a few people know, since the Minr Empire was founded, they have been fighting a terrible war in the Twilight Legion outside the elemental borders, so Vaulnd has a brief respite."
The Elven Royal Sister smiled slightly, smiling a little tiredly: "We thought we were doing the right thing, the Battle of the Sages is nothing but a war against oppression, but from the beginning, but we guessed the beginning, but we didn't guess the result. It was our own people who gave the dark dragon a fatal blow in the back, Odin ordered the Seven Legions to be permanently stationed outside the elemental borders at the last moment of the collapse of the dynasty, and he joined forces with several other brigade mages to seal Vaynd's passage to the Sea of Chaos, which was his last gift to us, he was a foolish fellow, but this gift was precious, this gift drained him and everyone around him, and therefore became the reason for his inevitable defeat. β
The queen sighed softly: "In fact, this is also the reason why the witch betrayed him, Odin does not believe in fate, what he wants to do is just to prove that the one qiΔ said in the prophecy of the black may not be right, the world may not need to be destroyed before it can be reborn, and there will never be any savior." But the witches believe in the power of the prophecy, the end of the day will come, and Odin has proven that he is not the one who was prophesied, so the Minr must make way for the people of Black Iron to make way for the final prophecy of the Black Iron. The witch of the Moon of Law is the executor of this prophecy. β
Bran had been speechless for a long time, and he had already guessed part of the truth, only to be confirmed today: this was the Fool's Legacy, the arrogant struggle of a man who was not able to measure himself, and although it was ridiculous, it was worth remembering forever.
Because people never bow to fate -
As soon as the truth was revealed, he couldn't help but touch his chest, in a sense, he was also the one who couldn't help himself. Whether in the eyes of the nobles of Eruin, in the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, or in the eyes of anyone else, perhaps even the Buga who supported him behind his back, or even the people around him, may not be able to understand his ideals, he knows that many people will only stand by him because they believe that he can change something, and may not agree with the real thoughts in his heart.
What does he want the world to become? Brando didn't answer, but his gaze had already crossed the sublime inland sea, and he knew that there, beyond the borders of civilization, there were countless unexplored lands, civilization did not have to be trapped in one place, and the power of twilight was not invincible.
These ideas are somewhat alien to this quagmire world, even too distant, just as the Cruz people could never work hand in hand with the Faenzans, and the wind elves could not integrate into the human world without reservation, not to mention the undead, and countless troubles and contradictions. But will he become a fool like Odin? Brando felt that he could not answer the question he had asked for a while, it was possible or not, just as he did not agree with all of Odin's ideas.
"Maybe that's not the problem." He said slowly.
"The glorious deeds of the four sages, the covenant of the Great 600 Clans, is not necessarily a mistake. Odin may be doing what he thinks is right, but there are many ways to accomplish something, and he believes that fate can change, but he sees himself as the saviorβ"
Brando looked at the magnificent scenery beneath the fleet, the thick clouds spreading out like cotton wool blown by the wind, revealing the golden sea, but he thought of something more.
