Chapter 1256: Rest and Recuperation in the Silent Night (33)
A long, long time ago, in order to compete for the hegemony of the world, the Protoss and the Demon Race fought a tragic battle.
Initially, the Protoss, who were good at magic, had an absolute advantage with overwhelming power.
They can call the wind and rain, and the thunder of the sky to turn the earth into a scorched earth;
They can make fire at the snap of their fingers, and let the flame rain down and burn the sky to the ground.
They can even summon meteorite stars from the depths of the universe to easily blast entire continents into ashes with a destructive astral impact.
However, the opponents of the Protoss, the Demon Race, possess an excessively powerful regeneration ability and an amazingly thick scale armor. As long as they are not annihilated into ashes by a single blow, the monsters of the demon clan can get up again and continue to fight, no matter how many times they are knocked down.
The reproduction ability of the demons is even more amazing, as long as they get enough bait, their population can grow explosively, multiplying tenfold in a few months.
At the beginning of the Great War, the Protoss had hundreds of millions of spellcasters, while the demons had hundreds of billions. The Protoss used a spell to destroy the Miè to kill the demons in a big way, but the demons won by numbers, and resisted stubbornly in the endless destruction and regeneration.
The tragic war lasted for tens of thousands of years, wounding the world and burning the world.
However, no matter how strong the power of the Protoss is, it will never be able to completely strangle the Demon Race; the magic power of the Protoss is not endless, it will always have a day of exhaustion and withering; and the king of the Protoss knows very well that when the magic power of the Protoss is exhausted, it is the day when the Demon Race will counterattack and annihilate the Protoss.
As a result, the prescient god-king ordered the wisest god of the Protoss to forge a weapon, a weapon designed for a protracted war of attrition that could be lethal without the need for magic.
In those days when lightsabers were not available, ordinary weapons relied mainly on their sharpness to kill and injure enemies. However, no matter how good a weapon is, a physical weapon is always a consumable, eventually dull, corroded and rusted by blood, broken over time, and eventually turned into scrap metal.
In order to exterminate the demons with powerful regenerative abilities, the weapons must be both iron and clay, extremely durable, able to kill and injure demons again and again, and their power will not be reduced by dullness.
To solve this problem, the sages of the Protoss created weapons in another revolutionary way. The sage knew very well that the visible would eventually be destroyed, while the intangible would last forever. He applied this principle to the weapon-making process, which is to transfer the physical object of the weapon into the void and create a weapon between the unreal and the real, [Solomon's Ice Vessel].
That is, there is a fragile and delicate like glass, but in fact it is a tough and unyielding divine soldier.
That is, an illusory weapon that wanders on the edge of reality.
The blade of the [ice weapon] stuck in the void will never rust, never break, and there is no danger of dull grinding. For its lethality does not come from its sharp blades, but from the [weight] of the part of it that sinks into the void. A skilled swordsman can wield an ice weapon to slaughter thousands of troops without worrying about its power dropping, and the demons' heavy scale armor and powerful regeneration ability are not worth mentioning in front of this ice weapon.
The Protoss with [Ice Weapon] was reversed again in the Great War. This time, they were not only able to use the powerful magic team demons to carry out a large number of slaughters, but also used [ice weapons] to kill all the demons who did not die one by one;
In this way, the war that lasted for tens of thousands of years came to an end, and the Protoss relied on the power of the [Ice Weapon] to defeat the Demon Clan.
When the last demon soldier was killed, and all the remaining demons were expelled into the demon realm and sealed, the war was over.
After defeating the demons with [Ice Weapon], the Protoss also realized the horror of [Ice Weapon]. Although they know the horror of the [Ice Weapon], they can't destroy it, because the Protoss is afraid that the demons will one day come back and threaten the world again. They did everything they could to seal the way [the ice vessel] was made so that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. It is said that the blueprint of the [Ice Vessel] is hidden in a ruin in Africa, sleeping quietly for billions of years, just waiting for the right person to unseal it. When the time is right, it will break through the ground and become a weapon to repel the demons again.
"That's about it, hehe. Lustford chattered for about ten minutes, and finally finished the story: "What? Interesting story, isn't it?" Segrad behind the door was about to stop talking to Rustford, but he couldn't help but reply: "It sounds like nonsense to me." "You don't believe it?" "This flawed story can only fool a child." Segrade replied in a cold tone, "What kind of god and demon war, I've never heard of this kind of thing." Why did this matter go to King Solomon again? What does this have to do with Israel? What does it have to do with Egypt? Why did the ancient gods solemnly hide Solomon's artifact and be mentioned in the Egyptian classics? It's a mess!" "I can't answer you directly," Rustford snorted and laughed, "But you have to know that most of the ancient myths have a certain factual basis, and they are not groundless. The ancient gods and men did exist. And all kinds of ancient myths often originate from the vague memories left by the contact between uncivilized humans and the gods and people. What's more, human beings like to add unrelated or original deeds to the deeds of a heroic emperor to expand the story of the heroic person to be described. Therefore, it does not really matter whether [Solomon's ice vessels] are related to King Solomon or not. All that matters is the fact that the ice vessel is stored in zài. "Ahem," Rusford coughed dryly and cleared his throat, "As for Egypt, you should know that Egypt was once very powerful and ruled all of Africa. They have the greatest information on the continent, and they have even dug frantically on the continent in search of the ancient ruins that contain the [Ice Weapon]. Thankfully, their efforts seemed to be in vain – otherwise the European nations would have been captured by the mighty Egyptian army. However, the unrelenting Egyptians claimed in their scriptures that [Solomon's ice vessels] belonged to Egypt in an attempt to legitimize a qiē. When a lie is repeated a million times, it becomes the truth, you know?" Another green tendon came out of Segrade's forehead, and he had heard enough of Lustford's nonsense, and was about to give the order to expel the guest: "Viscount Rustford, I am honored to hear this good story. But the night is getting late, and I think you're tired—so please stop bothering me and my brother, and get out of here!" "Oh, don't do that. We used to be rivals on the battlefield, but the battle is over, and I hope to be friends with you—" "Shut up!" Segrade scolded back, "You know I'm not going to open the door and let you in, and no matter what you say, I'm not going to bother with meow." Hopefully, you'll be able to get out of the meow on your own within five minutes. Five minutes later, if I find you still standing outside the door, then I'll have to call the hotel guard to take you away. "Are you serious?" Segrade didn't bother with Rusford. The leopard man youth is serious this time, and he must get rid of this chattering viscount.
"I brought you the best Ceylon black tea, and the highest grade strawberry cake~~~" Segrade clenched his fists, intending to break down the door and go out to beat up the chatter. But he took a deep breath and immediately suppressed his anger and went back to the living room to continue polishing his Luna Steel weapon.
Zhalfir was already hunched over with laughter, clutching his belly and rolling on the ground.
"Very well, I'll just go. Seeing that the plan had not succeeded, Lusford had no choice but to sigh: "Good night, little blue cat." The viscount's footsteps grew quieter, and finally disappeared altogether at the end of the corridor outside.
"Huhu Zhalfir stood up with a sharp pain in his abdomen, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Shut up!" Segrade grinned angrily, "I don't want to have anything to do with that chattering maniac!" "Huhu—but," Zhalfir laughed and tried to put on a stern expression, "What do you think is really the case with [Solomon's Ice Weapon]?" "Zhalfir, the Luna Steel weapon is my original meow." Segrade looked at his twin brother with an angry face: "You don't even believe me Meow?!" "I believe you, Segrad Meow." But if you think about it, this magical Luna Steel weapon, using so many materials, and making the zuò process is so complicated, and this huge number of incomparably complicated processes, you will actually find out on your own out of nothing, and succeed in one fell swoop, just by your own [intuition]Meow?Is there anything more convenient in the world than your intuition?" Segrade frowned: "What do you want to say?" Zhalfir smiled mysteriously: "I want to say: What if this qiē is not your intuition?" What if someone did secretly give you a hint to make these Luna Steel weapons with your hands, and make you think they were made by your own hands?""Secretly give me a hint Meow? Do you want to talk about telepathy?" "Or hypnotism, yes meow." Zhalfir nodded: "It's not impossible to give him a hint without a person noticing, and reveal to him the craftsmanship of making a certain weapon." Segrade suddenly had a thrill all over his body: "Brother, are you thinking about the thing I'm thinking about?" Zhalfir nodded again: "That's right, I'm thinking about the thing you're thinking about Meow." "It's [that person]. If someone planned the Luna Steel incident this time, it must be [that person].
Although he had already obtained a batch of weapons to use in the competition, in order to unravel the secret of Luna Steel, Segrade planned to meet [the man] again tomorrow -
Daddy Odin.
