Chapter 35: The Book of the Sages
After three rounds of drinking, Garde asked Santo thoughtfully:
"Your Majesty, I don't know what is important about you coming to the east of Wolf Cry through the dangerous Sunset Forest this time?"
The drinking party, which had been cheerful, became quiet, and everyone stopped moving, turned their heads to look at Santo, and waited for Santo's answer. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even Viscount Lake looked at Santo with a curious expression.
Feeling the gaze of everyone around him, Santo also slowly put down the tableware, and after a deep sigh, he said:
"I don't know if you've ever heard of the Book of the Sages!"
"The Book of Prophecy of the Sage (aka the Book of the Sage)! Isn't this the only book written by a legendary mage who cried wolf a thousand years ago? Martha said with a little surprise.
"Legendary Mage! I heard that the great turmoil of 2,000 years ago caused some turmoil in Wolf Cry, and since then the magic power has been depleted, and by 1,000 years ago, we could only reach the level of quasi-legend at best. 500 years ago, even quasi-legends have become legends, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the master level will become history! Lake said with some embarrassment.
Santo nodded and continued:
"These are actually mentioned in the Book of Sages. Everyone knows the history of 2,000 years, but 2,000 years ago! Have you ever heard of it? ”
"Two thousand years ago! It is said that the wolf cry is still a barren land, and my ancestors and others don't even have a language, and they are almost indistinguishable from the animals in the wild! There was a look of nostalgia on the lord's face.
Santo shook his head and continued:
"Have you ever thought that in fact, there are more than wolves crying in this world, or the whole wolf crying in this world, in fact, it is only an insignificant place!"
"The outside world!" One by one, the crowd became horrified.
Angelina skimmed Su Zhen with those beautiful eyes, but it looked very cute in Su Zhen's eyes, so he looked at Angelina with clear and curious eyes, an expression of what are you looking at.
Angelina glanced at Su Zhen hatefully, suddenly rolled her eyes, pretended to be a wife to sort out her husband's clothes, leaned over, and said with her lips close to Su Chen's ear:
"Actually, you could have pretended to be a little more like, my dear."
Su Zhen only felt the faint fragrance of his clothes coming to his face, and smelled the girl's fragrance in Angelina's smooth and flawless jade neck, and he was a little distracted.
It seems to have a different taste from the eldest princess!
Su Zhen thought of the eldest princess with extreme shamelessness!
"In fact, our ancestors came here from as far away as the southwest 3,000 years ago. It's just that something happened later, and we were completely cut off from the outside world! Santo breathed a sigh of relief and continued to speak unhurriedly.
This isolation is a full 3,000 years, but this isolation is not absolute, there are still very few people in and out at that time, but then it is not possible. You know what happened next. Demons wreak havoc on the earth, ghosts are rampant, and the gods have mercy on me and weep for the people, and they have come to the world, bringing us powerful magic and war skills, and making us cultivate our spirit and qi and blood. We began to grow stronger, and although we still couldn't deal with those terrible demons, under the leadership of the gods, we fought against them from generation to generation. Eventually, we succeeded in defeating the terrible demons, and the gods were departed. Because of this war, we were completely cut off from the outside world. ”
Everyone nodded, and everyone knew these things.
"But! According to the language of the Book of the Sages, the wolf cries and is cut off from the outside world ... will be in a thousand years ... Relieve! ”
"Lift!" It was Su Zhen who said this, although he knew that since he could come to the wolf cry, he would definitely be able to go back. Not only Su Zhen, but Ye Ziming and the little princess were obviously very concerned about this matter, and they all listened with their ears pricked up!
Santo nodded and continued:
"But the Book of the Sages only says the time, not the location, so no one knows where the first place to be released from isolation will be."
"Then Your Majesty is here for the reason ... Bet on it! Gard's eyes flashed with a gleam, if the first place to be lifted was the Eastern Territory, then this would definitely be a big opportunity!
At that time, it will not be difficult for him to become a viscount and an earl!
Can be happy in the middle of the wolf crying, who wants to come to such a ghost place in the east!
A hint of mockery appeared on Santo's face, which ruthlessly interrupted Garder's fantasy:
"It's just a possibility! In fact, most people still think that the Devil May Cry Plains in the middle is more likely, and the Flame Kingdom sent a prince and princess there. ”
The crowd fell silent!
It turned out to be a white joy.
It turns out that the east is the place with the least chance, so he is the only one who thinks of a place like the Gerald Mountains. Maybe it's more than that! After all, the Gerald Mountains are so big that they stretch across several eastern territories, and probably others have gone elsewhere.
However, the huge Eastern Territory Leader actually came over with a Holy Trust, thinking about the thirty legions on the list of the Wolf Crying Legion, how could there be two or three people coming to the Eastern Territory Territory with this number!
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes at Santo unconsciously brought a trace of sympathy, it is estimated that Santo should be a prince who is not favored!
This kind of prince's life is actually not easy!
In Wolf Cry, there is a default rule, that is, only the army of a certain force is on the list of the Wolf Cry Legion can be qualified to be called a kingdom. For example, the Flame Kingdom is now in full swing.
In addition to the elite legions that come out of these kingdoms to make the list, there are usually several reserve legions. The combined number of these reserve corps armies is generally ten times that of the former. And these reserve legions are handed over to the prince or princess who participates in the succession, and of course, the territory is indispensable. Whoever can bring the best legion during the king's tenure will be the next successor. At this time, the king would hand over the most elite legions to his successor, while the others would either be dismissed or killed, and of course, some would live out their old age. As for the best assessment standard, it is the combat effectiveness reflected in the annual beast tide or conflict.
A place like wolf crying, whether it is a beast tide or a conflict, is as common as a certain celebrity cheating on the news in the 21st century, a certain country is shocked, and a certain country is scared and trembling.
Hearing His Majesty Santo say this, Garder, Jones and others obviously lost a little enthusiasm for Santo, just a prince who had no ambition, although they still needed to stammer, but they didn't have to be so deliberate. And also keep a certain distance, what if one of his brothers becomes the king and has a big clean-up in his head!
At this moment, a soldier covered in blood rushed in in a panic and said to the lord Gard:
"Silver mines, Maru silver mines...
Before he could finish speaking, the soldier fell headlong and the breath of life vanished. It's the limit for him to hold on to this!
"Everyone, I still have something to do today, let's end the New Year's banquet here!"
"Where is the lord, the affairs of the Eastern Territory are more important!" Jones took the lead and got polite.
Gard looked a little hurried to explain, and hurried away.
Garde came to the Lord's Mansion quickly, and his whole face was still a little shocked:
"Are you sure! Maru was killed directly in one shot! ”
"It's true, lord! Master Maru followed your instructions to the Maru Silver Mine, only to be swallowed by the thing. A fire ... A fireball bigger than a house spat out of its mouth, our two thousand soldiers. Only... That's it. It's terrible, it's terrible. Lord, brethren really can't help it! ”
Garde's hand couldn't stop trembling, and he was silent for a long time, and then Garde narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cruel cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself:
"When Maru dies, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold Martha down. Case... ”
As he spoke, Garde stood up, his lion-like face full of determination:
"Martha! If you want to blame it, blame you for not knowing how to converge! ”
Garde shouted out loudly:
"Someone, call Jeffrey!"
