Chapter 70: Exposing the Ugly Nature of the Game (2)
"Obviously, the Demon Clan and the other major races are basically the same level of existence, but all traces of their existence on the continent seem to have been erased - this is naturally a good thing done by the other major races.
But other races obviously won't do such a thankless thing for no reason, the reason why they will try their best to hide the fact of the existence of the demon race is actually to a large extent proved the particularity of the demon race, several major races are like giants on this continent, ordinary races can't make these giants feel special. Lei Ruoya explained to Xu Ke very seriously, and Xu Ke was also listening carefully.
Since deducing that demons are essentially a type of aborigines rather than low-level monsters or monsters, Xu Ke feels that he has faintly come into contact with the truth of the matter.
He didn't interject, and listened intently to Lei Ruoya's explanation:
"Why does the Demon Clan deserve the news of the other major races in the continent joining forces to block it? Is it just because the legendary demon clan is cruel and tyrannical and murderous?
I think not.
Compared to other races, the orcs are definitely cruel and tyrannical, but when did the orcs ever treat themselves like this on the mainland?
Probably only the public enemies of the whole continent can afford such treatment. β
Xu Ke thought for a while, frowned and asked his own question: "Since the Demon Clan is the public enemy of the mainland, it should be the right thing to do to make all its information public, so that ordinary people can better understand this strange race." β
"You're right." After hearing this, Lei Ruoya shook her head slightly, "If the enemy's information is released to everyone, it may indeed be of some help in the fight against the enemy. But Mr. Xu Ke, you didn't take into account another situation - if it is not handled properly, this information may also cause panic. β-
Xu Ke thought for a while and didn't say anything, but his expression was a little puzzled.
Seeing this, Lei Ruoya asked the other party again: "Teacher Xu Ke, the second act is about the history and geography of the Azure Continent and other basic settings, you can answer it before me, I think you must be familiar with history, then I ask you a questionββ"
"Do you know when the era of peace in the Azure Continent began?"
Xu Ke didn't expect the other party to ask him another question, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "Naturally, it started one hundred and forty years ago, when the Holy Emperor of the Human Empire, Zhilei Boning, personally conquered and occupied two-thirds of the continent. β
"Very good," Lei Ruoya nodded her head, "Since you also know this history, Mr. Xu Ke, then you must have wondered why the mainland had entered an era of peace like this when you read this, and you had also wondered...... Why did that wise and martial Saint Emperor suddenly stop his conquest. β
"Yes." Xu Ke thought for a moment and nodded in response.
"So...... What now? In connection with what I said earlier, if you think about it again, what do you think? β
Xu Ke still didn't know why the other party asked him this question, but in his mind, Miss Ruoya's actions had always had her own reasons, so when she heard this, she thought about this question again.
Xu Keben is also a person with active thinking, so after thinking about it seriously, he immediately figured out this question that was extremely confusing before.
The reason why the human empire suddenly gave up the expansion of its own country when the country was at its strongest and the foreign race was the weakest......
The reason why that wise and martial Saint Emperor would give up war and choose to live in peace with other races when such a great cause as the unification of the continent was at hand......
Actually, the reason is very simple.
Races with different ideas and long-standing enmity will only let go of their disputes when faced with a common enemy.
And the powerful human empire suddenly and inexplicably chose to abandon expansion at that time, because they encountered a more powerful enemy...... The legendary public enemy of the continent.
When he thought of this, Xu Ke felt that something was wrong, because these were actually very easy conclusions, and he just didn't think about this question before, even if Lei Ruoya didn't mention it, he could get the answer by himself.
He subconsciously felt that what Lei Ruoya had made him think about could not be such a simple question.
But does there any other meaning to the fact that the continent entered peace one hundred and forty years ago?
Xu Ke's brows furrowed a little.
Xu Ke silently recited this matter several times in his heart:
One hundred and forty years ago, the mainland entered an era of peace...... One hundred and forty years ago, the mainland entered an era of peace......
One hundred and forty years ago......
One hundred and forty ......
Wait a minute!
Why one hundred and forty years ago!?
Xu Ke thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened.
Lei Ruoya noticed Xu Ke's expression, and seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's performance, and nodded heavily: "Teacher Xu Ke, it seems that you have also found out......"
She paused slightly, then quickly added, "If the public enemy of the mainland can unite the people of the whole continent regardless of their previous grievances, then why hasn't the peace on the mainland been like this since ancient times...... But it had to wait until 140 years ago?
Of course, there are many possibilities for this, but I think the closest thing to the truth is.
The people of the Azure Continent did not always know about the existence of the Demon Clan.
They...... I'm afraid it was only a hundred and forty years ago that the existence of the Demon Clan was discovered!
In other words, the so-called public enemy of the mainland only appeared one hundred and forty years ago! β
Xu Ke understood what Lei Ruoya wanted to express, but he was even more puzzled: "...... Not to mention that this is just Miss Ruoya's inference, and the correctness is not yet known, even if Miss Ruoya's inference is correct, what does this have to do with the previous questions? Why are you sure that the Demon Clan is the public enemy of the mainland, Miss Ruoya? Why do other races go to great lengths to conceal the existence of the Demon Race? β
Speaking of this, Xu Ke paused for a moment, and then remembered the previous question: "Why did Miss Ruoya know that the second act would probably be like this before you came?" Why did you prepare before you came? There are so many questions...... I found that Miss Ruoya, you always solve the problem halfway through and then unconsciously jump into the next problem, and so far we have not solved any of our fundamental problems. β
Lei Ruoya raised her eyebrows after hearing this, did not answer the other party's question, but suddenly said a sentence as if talking to herself: "The history of this continent ......"
"It's been thousands of years."
"In the Azure Continent, according to historical records, if a high civilization like human beings has existed for more than 4,800 years, the civilizations of other races will be correspondingly longer. The emergence of several major races should be tens of thousands of years ago, and the history of the continent itself is estimated to be more than hundreds of thousands of years old. "After all, Xu Ke is a scholar who can crush Lei Ruoya in terms of knowledge, even if it is these settings in the game, he can tell humanity like a few treasures.
"That's really been a long time," Lei Ruoya sighed with emotion after hearing the other party's addition, and then continued, "One hundred and forty years, in the history of the entire continent, I'm afraid it's a short period of time that is not worth mentioning.
Under such a premise, Mr. Xu Ke, you say......
Why was there a race that was discovered 140 years ago? β
Xu Ke was stunned, he had never considered this kind of problem.
"Is it because they're just just fully evolved?
Is it because they lived in seclusion enough before they were discovered that they gradually showed their fangs?
Or is it because they've been around for a long time, but they've just suddenly become stronger? β
Lei Ruoya asked a few questions, but quickly shook her head and said no, "I don't think so......
The contrast between 140 years and thousands of years is too great.
How could it be possible that a race could have been hiding in such a high-martial magical plane for thousands of years, only to be suddenly discovered more than a hundred years ago!?
And then as soon as it was discovered, it was regarded as a public enemy of the mainland!?
One hundred and forty years ago, the continent was still a chaotic situation of various ethnic groups competing for hegemony, but in the 140th year, the war ceased without warning, as if it was united, and the major races should have maintained extremely strong strength during the war years.
Especially the Human Empire, which has been historically recorded under the leadership of the Holy Emperor could even drive dragons at that time - that is, they had legendary dragon knights!
The dragon itself is a 'legendary' existence, so no matter how the dragon knight thinks, it represents the highest level of strength in this continent, and the human empire at that time not only had dragon knights, but even a whole team - no less than ten dragon knights, how could there be a race that could suddenly rise in the eyes of such a powerful human empire, and as soon as it appeared, the human empire had to choose to stop war with several other major races!?
This is obviously impossible - if you think about it, it is not so much that this race was discovered a hundred and forty years ago, but rather that they appeared out of thin air a hundred and forty years ago!
The Demon Clan just appeared out of thin air, well, if you ask me where they came from, I can't answer, I'm just explaining such an inference to you.
Why am I making this inference, you ask, and what is the connection to the previous questions?
Don't panic, everything about this game, everything you don't understand, you'll know right away, let me slowly, little by little
Tell you all. β
Lei Ruoya clasped her hands in front of her chest, this action made her momentum rise a little, but it also made her chest a little flatter: "Teacher Xu Ke, please connect all the keywords in series......
A continent that is thousands of years old, and several races that are as old as the continent...... There is also a race that appeared out of thin air a hundred and forty years ago.
What do you think of?
If just saying that a race appeared out of thin air doesn't make people think of anything - what if this race that appeared out of thin air can make all the races on the continent let go of their hatred?
To be able to let go of their hatred for each other is to show that the new race is a greater enemy in itself.
Normally, if the enemy is present in the interior of our home.
We generally refer to this behavior as ......"
"Invasion."
"So the Demon Clan didn't simply appear on this continent, and the reason why they were recognized as public enemies was not simply because of their habits or strength - they were invaders at all! From the moment they appeared, they were already incompatible with the other races in the Azure Continent!
In fact, the whole three acts, or the whole game, are built in one big context."
Lei Ruoya looked at Xu Ke's obviously surprised expression, and said slowly, "Demon invasion." β
