068 Descendants of Tao Strategy
Unexpectedly, the divine weapon brought out of the dwarven ruins is now being used as a tool for chopping wood. When Koster and Feida, who came to visit Old Man Mousse, found that there was no place to live, they had to cut wood and leaves and set up a simple tent by themselves.
Old man Mousse was old, and he rested early, and before going to bed, let the two of them wait outside her house early in the morning, and then leave Kerst and Feida alone. The two had no choice but to do it themselves, two sharp weapons, and chopped down the trees with a bang.
The fog in the Misty Forest, in the early morning, will disperse relatively lightly, and then gradually thicken, until the evening, the fog will be extremely thick. Koster and Phaeda, who had spent the night setting up their tents, came to Old Man Mousse's hut despite their exhaustion. The walls of the trees in the wooden house are stained with early morning dew, and they are crystal clear.
The door was not closed, but was gently hidden, and when Kerst pushed the door open, he saw the old man Mousse sitting on a chaise longue in the house, with a pot of flower tea in front of him, which was steaming hot and exuding a burst of fragrance.
"This old man is not young, but he really enjoys life. Kester thought to himself.
Seeing the two of them coming, the old man Mousse sat up, lifted the flower tea teapot, and poured a cup of tea for each of them, "Drink a little, this is my own brewed flower tea, which is precious and fresh." We have a whole day to talk today, no rush. ”
After glancing at each other, Kerst and Ferda sat down and picked up their teacups.
In the history of this continent, there was the first era of antiquity, the rule of the Magic Empire, and the current second era. Every era has witnessed a wonderful civilization. In ancient times, human beings began to understand reason from ignorance and created civilizations and countries. In the First Age, a splendid magical civilization shone brightly, creating countless miracles. In the Second Age, human society was further developed, scientific progress replaced magic, and humans began to rely more on the power of machinery.
The development of human civilization is an irresistible force, and writing, science and technology, and history, these things will gradually appear, disappear, appear, and disappear with the development of civilization.
Although human beings have become the protagonists of the Second Age, and those dwarves, elves, dragons and various ethnic minorities who have lived a glorious life on the stage of history have gradually faded out or even disappeared, there are still some people in this world who need to remember these things.
Therefore, some big figures of various races, after deliberation, determined several mainland guardians who were responsible for guarding the history and knowledge of the race.
Among them, there is a dragon clan called the "Guardian of History", which has the longest lifespan, and it is responsible for guarding the history of the continent. The historical events that have occurred on the mainland over the past thousand years will be described in detail by him.
Among them, there is an elven clan called the "Guardian of Magic". His magic is the most profound, so he is responsible for the inheritance of magic, although humans refuse to use magic, but magic, the most powerful weapon discovered by the living beings of the continent, is bound to not be abandoned, maybe one day in the future, there will still be its stage.
The last one is the "Guardian of Knowledge". Unlike the first two long-lived creatures, the guardian of knowledge is a human. And fragile human beings are always easy to disappear in the long river of history. However, human beings who are good at reproduction have easily solved this problem, and the "guardian of knowledge" is no longer a person, but a family inheritance.
These three guardians never interfere in the process of the continent, whether it is the war between countries or the changes in the royal families of various countries, they are all out of their sight. They just keep a faithful record of what is happening on this continent, day after day.
Quietly listening to the old man Mousse's story, Kester and Feida were a little shocked in their hearts.
"Grandma Mousse, what do you have to do with this Guardian?" asked Kerster.
"Hehe, there are three guardians, three different races, an elf, a dragon and a human, what do you think I am?" Mousse smiled, this will not be like the cold person last night, but like a kind old grandmother.
The Guardian system also began after the fall of the Magic Empire a thousand years ago. Thanks to the long life, the "Guardian of History" and the "Guardian of Magic" are still the two of them, only the title of "Guardian of Knowledge", which has been passed down in Mousse's family for thousands of years, and Mousse himself is the 35th generation of "Guardian of Knowledge".
The system has been working well, with elves and dragons hiding in their worlds, silently watching the continent. "Guardian of Knowledge", living in seclusion in the realm of mankind. This family has produced many famous historical figures, and has left a great reputation in the political arena of various countries.
The knowledge they guard includes the knowledge of cultivation of various races since slash-and-burn farming, the knowledge of building cities and nations, the art of warfare, and the basic knowledge of various fields. Even many of the records that have disappeared in history have been found by the Guardians.
However, like many large families, the Guardian family also encountered the problem of inheritance. The people of this family are becoming more and more difficult to reproduce, and in Mousse's generation, there is only one heir. And Mousse is also dying of old age this year, she needs to find her inheritor as quickly as possible, otherwise, the knowledge guarded by the "Knowledge Guardian" will disappear into the long river of time and space with her death.
"But do you mean that we are your chosen heirs?" asked Mousse anxiously.
"Oh no, kid, it's not you, it's you!" Mousse still had the same smile on her face.
"Me?" Kerst didn't understand.
"I'm dying, and I've asked two other Guardians to help me see if there's a suitable heir. My two companions, they helped me choose you, so it's fate that you can come here. ”
Kerst was completely confused, "The other two Guardians have seen me?
"Of course you did, otherwise how would you have been allowed to walk to my house. ”
Koster scratched his head, and said that it was an elf dragon, maybe it was the great elf king, and if it was a dragon, could it be the golden dragon in the dream, or wouldn't it, could it be that Grimm Kester thought that his head hurt.
"Well, that's not all there is to say, Kerth," Mousse continued, "and since you're here, I'm afraid you have to be the Guardian of Knowledge. ”
Kester hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't don't, I'm here to learn Taoluo, not to be the guardian of this Raushzi, and the Great Elf King didn't tell me that." I have a family and a noble title, you can't force me!"
Mousse smiled, "What kind of title are you?"
Kist straightened up, then touched his collar and pinned the badge on his collar, "My family is a knight lord, and my lord is Duke Kaman!"
Mousse disagreed, "Oh, Knight Lord, so-so. You can inherit my mantle, and my marquis title can be inherited to you!"
"Ahh
Fortunately, Feida was quite calm at this time, she touched Caster lightly, motioned him to be quiet, and then turned to Old Man Mousse: "Grandma Mousse, can you explain to us the cause and effect, Caster can't accept it all at once." What exactly does this knowledge keeper need to do, and what are the risks?"
Mousse glared at Kerth, "Hmph, it's not as good as this little girl!"
The Knowledge Guardian, in the Guardian system, is a special one, because of the human lifespan, it is the only Guardian that needs to be inherited. Thanks to the original Mousse family, the previous inheritance was not so complicated, and the heir was selected early within the family. For the first time in history, there is no offspring like Mousse.
Mousse had no one to negotiate, and the other two Guardians were not human at all, so they only promised to help Mousse keep an eye out for a suitable heir, and then sent Caster to Mousse.
"That. Grandma Mousse, what is your relationship with Green from the Adventurers' Guild?" Kerst suddenly remembered.
"Oh, he, he's not related to the Guardians. ”
As guardians, the Mousse family's first task is to ensure the transmission of knowledge, however, this does not rule out that they will venture on the continent as ordinary people. Even, thanks to their ability to learn more knowledge as knowledge keepers, the knowledge guardians who have always walked on the mainland have a great chance of becoming famous in the end. And Green is a friend of the Adventurers' Guild that Mousse met when he was young.
"At that time, Green was the child of a noble general in the Manning Kingdom, that young man who was just starting out, and he dreamed all day that he would be able to sonic shock the continent one day, and then I taught him a little trick. However, I later heard that he did not join the army, but became a hunter in the Adventurers' Guild. ”
"Okay. "So, Grandma Mousse, can you explain to me what the Trick is, what does the Knowledge Keeper do, and my duties and powers?"
"So," Mousse laughed, "are you ready to accept the position of inheritor?"
Kerst shook his head, "You've got to let me know what a knowledge keeper is." Otherwise, I don't want to, we Kaman, we still have a lot of business waiting for me!"
Mousse didn't speak, but got up and went to the fireplace in the house, she reached out and pressed a switch behind the fireplace, only to see that the floor next to the fireplace suddenly sank, revealing a black hole.
"I want to know, Koster, then go down with me!" After speaking, without waiting for Koster's reaction, he jumped down first. Mousse's jumping skills were extremely vigorous, and he couldn't tell that he was an old man at all.
Kerst stared stupidly at the hole where Mousse had disappeared, thinking to himself that this old man wanted to come out too much. He looked at Feida and saw that Feida didn't have any opinions.
Curiosity eventually prevailed, "You wait for me here!" ordered Feda, and Kerst gritted his teeth and jumped down after him.
