Chapter 348: "Gross Beyond the Legend of the Sinking Hook of the Sea"
"Shi Hai Shen Hook XXX Issue XXX: Gross Beyond the Legend" - Essay author: The stars have fallen
There are many people named Gross in this world, but if you say Gross directly without a prefix, then the person you are talking about must refer to the warlock ancestor Gross, whose importance to this world is self-evident, the founder of one of the six systems, which is enough to make the world remember.
And today's article published in Shi Hai Shen Hook is not an introduction to the most worthy experience of Gross's life - this is also an experience mentioned by countless movies, TV series, Gross turned the tide in the Bourbon Island War, and forcibly pulled Bourbon out of the abyss of destruction. And there are enough papers on this side now, and today I want to introduce Gross outside of the Bourbon War.
Speaking of Gross during the Bourbon War, there is a lot of information, but when it comes to Gross outside of the Bourbon War, the information has decreased dramatically, so that it is negligible, making it difficult for future generations to explore.
There is very little information about Gross's early years, and in fact he was almost unknown for the first fifty years of his life, and now it can only be speculated from various historical sources that this person may have been him.
The few information we can be sure of so far is that Gross was born in 1500 in the old capital of Bourbon, in Borris, and was brought to Symben as a teenager by Anu, the father of Felison XVI, a member of the Germak clan and Felison XVI.
And, according to some of the records left by Gross in the academy, it is likely that Gross was not called by his current name when he was a child, and his surname may not be Anlu, which was mentioned in the paper "Anlu or Anwar? Gross's Surname" before the eighteenth issue of "Shi Hai Shen Hook", the discussion is quite detailed, you can go and see, here to continue to return to the main topic.
Records from the time Gross arrived at Siebon to the time Gross reappeared, and only two pieces of physical evidence have survived to prove that Gross lived in that era.
One is a fragment of the Germak family's high-ranking private slave book, which is now preserved in the Bourbon Museum, which records the purchase of a private slave by Anlu Janek 28 (later used by the ancient Bourbon people to distinguish the family's namesake) and the renaming of him to Gross, giving him his own name.
The other is a bill for the entry and exit of goods, which shows a transaction made by the Germak family in 1529 Richur to purchase a batch of flamingo horses from the Myramie Peninsula by Gross Anlu, a high-ranking private slave of Anlu Gelmak.
Other than that, there is no trace of Gross's life in this era, and like most normal high-ranking private slaves, he may have been an unattainable existence for commoners in that era, but he is now obscure. And Gross later also relented about the experience of this time, leaving this history completely silent.
Relatively speaking, after 1550, there are more traces of Gross's existence, and through the surviving mercenary records, it can be basically determined that the so-called flame lone wanderer is Gross's code name, because the characteristics of this mercenary are too obvious, and some mercenary notes that have been handed down today can be proved, plus Gross participated in the South Boutu Uprising, it can already be locked.
For now, Gross first served as a mercenary in the Boris region, and after confirming that Gross was the Flame Lone Wanderer, the experts followed this clue to find it, and successfully found some traces of the Flame Lone Wanderer in Boris.
A few years later, Gross went to Edonan, and the most credible speculation is that he received funding from the famous Boris spy group Dove, and as to whether Gross himself had joined Dove, this is doubtful, and the academic community is pessimistic, because Dove is unlikely to let a person who has lived abroad for most of his life join Dove.
Then, somehow, with the help of the devil, Gross returned to Bourbon and participated in the magnificent Bourbon War, leaving behind an immortal epic, which is basically known to everyone, and I will not repeat it here, but I want to talk about Gross's life after the war.
According to the Treaty of Boris in 1576, Gross was bound to the Boris Abbey in the Academy of Felison XIV as a tutor, of course, now we know that Gross is called a mentor but in fact the object of study, one is to study how to restrain Gross's ability, and the other is to study whether Gross can replicate the miracle of Gross.
Both studies were ultimately successful, and some historians believe that it was with the help of the devil. The success of the research led to two structures, one was that Gross's abilities were no longer so restrained, and the other was that the warlock officially became a profession that the world could learn and quickly spread throughout the world through the gods.
Of course, just like the Saint Ancestor Mayy, although later generations imitated Gross's ability and researched a way to restrain Gross - that is, the magic that could quickly find out Gross's true body - there was still no way to do one thing, that is, to cultivate a warlock as powerful as Gross.
Gross is the same as May, because he is the ancestor, with irreproducibility, strength and longevity, when Gross was eighty or ninety years old, he was still as young as a thirty-year-old, and there was no sign of aging, which made many old immortals at that time jealous to go crazy, so there were several attacks on Gross, and some people tried to find the secret of immortality through Gross.
During those years at the Academy, it wasn't that Gross had been giving and not getting any benefits, in fact, the benefits Gross had received were far greater than what he had paid.
How do warlocks practice? Now we know very well that summoning strange creatures, merging them into their bloodline, and gaining the abilities of the other party. And this strange creature can be an ordinary rabbit, a yellow croaker in the sea, a powerful dragon, or a mysterious lich.
Therefore, warlocks are more dependent on financial resources than mages, and they also have more attributes of aristocratic professions, after all, if you fuse ordinary rabbits, your warlock profession is a waste, it is better to be a fighter to be comfortable, and only nobles can bring you strong biological fusion when you are a child.
Normal Warlocks can only fuse one Strange Creature, but when the level is high, some gifted Warlocks can fuse the second creature that does not conflict with the first one.
However, the Warlock Ancestor Gross is different, he can fuse creatures with mutually exclusive attributes, to be exact, he fused all six elementals into his body, and after the original fire elementals, the remaining five elementals were also fused by him.
This terrible operation made Gross's strength extremely strong, and it also caused the cultivation level that was later used to evaluate normal warlocks to be unable to be used to evaluate Gross.
If you evaluate Gross according to the current warlock level, the Gross level is only the purple carrot level, not an extraordinary legend, but when Gross goes south, he can kill the immortal epic level of the demonic beast one-on-one, which can be said to be very terrifying, and has reached the level of non-human.
After talking about Gross's efforts and gains in the academy, what was Gross's life like during the academy?
According to the extant accounts, which are thankfully numerous to give us a clear picture of Gross's life at the academy, Gross was a reticent man, and the other students would hardly dare to bother Gross if it wasn't for the needs of the course.
Gross's relationship with his family was relatively cold, and only the eldest three grandchildren were able to communicate with Gross amicably, and after the death of these three grandsons, Gross communicated less with his juniors, like strangers.
Moreover, Gross is very strict with his juniors, strictly prohibiting his juniors from swaggering and deceiving in his name, and after he severely executed a fifth grandson who used his name to bully men and women, his juniors were silent to Gross. Since the Gross family did not accumulate much wealth during Gross's time, the Gross family declined a hundred years after Gross left.
When Gross was a tutor at the Academy, the Bourbon Sea was in a turbulent era, and although those geniuses had died one by one due to their advanced age, the storm they stirred up did not stop, and several wars broke out on the Edonan Peninsula and the Tenlong Continent, changing the situation in the Bourbon Sea Day little by little.
But the storm weakened by half a minute as it reached the Bourbon, and by the time it reached the Academy, it was already a light wind and drizzle. Because of Gross's deterrence, coupled with the Bourbon unintentional struggle for hegemony that was broken in the Bourbon War, he gained nearly a hundred years of stable time, like the eye of a storm.
Of course, there are often reluctant Bourbon students who come up to Gross and bring up the recent situation, the unequal treaties of the past, the lost land, and the humiliation of Bourbon, and now there is a message left, a message from a Luel Germarck, who can tell us about Gross's reaction.
"On Saturday, the weather is fine, in the afternoon, there is no class, in the College Square, the pseudo-unintentional encounter with the Grand Karcist (referring to Gross), who is good for walking, often wandering here in the afternoon, and the breath makes no one approach. (I) complained about the insult, but (Gross) laughed and said nothing, and shook his finger at the sky, not knowing what he meant. Useless (the exact meaning is unknown), angry. Those who are capable say that they have no intention, and the country is hopeless. If you want to smash her face, endure it, sigh and leave. Still indifferent and going against each other. ”
This passage basically says that a young man goes to encourage Gross, Gross points to the sky and shakes his finger, then does not speak, and leaves in the opposite direction of him, and the young man is very angry when he sees Gross ignoring himself.
From the current point of view, Gross believes that the decline of Bourbon is predestined by the gods, or rather arranged by fate, and cannot be brought about by his ability alone.
Gross spent a long time at the Felison XIV Academy, first in Siben, and later when the academy moved to Willis, and Gross followed him to Willis. As a result, Gross remained in the academy from 1576 onwards, except for a brief absence due to the relocation of the academy until 1600.
In the year 1600, Gross was already a hundred years old, and on the first day of that year, Gross put a note in the academy, saying that he was leaving the academy, and then left, and the dean of the academy was surprised when he saw this note, and wanted to send someone to chase it back, but he couldn't find any trace of Gross.
After Gross left the Academy, he was almost certain of the places he had visited, including Boris, where he was born, Siebon where he grew up, Ralicas, where his relatives had stayed, Likufu, where he started on the continent of Edonan, and Bodami, where the Bourbon government-in-exile was located.
It took him about a year to revisit these places, and then, without warning, he headed south, reaching south of Maisica in 1603 and beginning his last saga on the Bourbon Sea.
Mysica borders Ulchi to the south, but there are immortal epic monsters on the way that are very rare even in the whole world, which makes the land route very dangerous, so the sea route of Ulchi is valuable.
Since 1526, Maisica has made great efforts to deal with the immortal epic Warcraft group, and it has a history of eighty years now, and the results are there, the number of Warcraft groups has decreased a lot, but the progress is still not fast, mainly because the Warcraft King is extremely powerful and cunning, very difficult to kill, and especially likes revenge.
Gross walked up to this and was approached by Maishika and asked Gross to deal with the cunning Beastmaster. Gross agreed to Misica's invitation and went deep into the south with Mashica's army to find the Immortal Epic Beasts.
Under the leadership of Gross, the Maisica army launched a fierce duel with the Immortal Epic Warcraft herd, relying on Gross's help, the Maishika Army killed 5 Immortal Epic Warcraft and 11 secondary Warcraft in just one month.
This made the Beast King unable to sit still, and he jumped out to fight Gross, and the two fought from the coast to the mountains, and then both disappeared without a trace.
The battle was fought in a shattering manner, leaving behind many appalling legends in the area.
With Gross's battle, the Warcraft King died, and the remaining immortal epic Warcraft herd was not formed, and after barely continuing to fight with the Maisica army for 1 year, they fled westward in embarrassment.
This is a far-reaching event, which not only marks the complete end of the immortal epic monster horde that has plagued Usska and Ulch for more than 600 years, but also marks Ulch's official entry into the Bourbon Sea, and soon, Ulch will bring a big surprise to Usica.
