While Finney was surging with the signing of the Anti-Finney Military Alliance, a worshipper named Pilate at Dima College was writing a book that he had devoted his life to, "The Eighteen-Hundred Years of the Sydneysider's Founding."

Born in 2431, Pilate was a purebred Dima nobleman, and his grandfather was one of Huls's oldest followers, not those who defected to Hulse after the Second Siber War, but an old follower who defected to Hulse during the Second Siber War and survived until Hulse was crowned Dima.

Pilate was only 9 years old when the "Third Siber War" first broke out, but even then he was assigned work, of course, for children, the assigned work was relatively easy, and Pilate was assigned the job of assisting the professors in sorting out the history that Dima had collected over the years.

As a result, Pilate's youth was spent helping to sort out history, which also made Pilate have a strong interest in history, and through the collation of historical materials, Pilate accumulated a wealth of knowledge.

In 2452, when Dima was ready to launch a counterattack, he expanded the original 3 legions to 17 legions, and the 21-year-old Pilate was incorporated into the ranks as a nobleman, attached to the First Legion, and followed Dofan to participate in the famous Dima counter-attack.

As a descendant of an old follower, Pilate had the privilege of choosing whether or not to use the spell of exhaustion, and if he was willing to use it, he would become an officer of the regular legion, and if he was unwilling to use it, even the descendants of the old follower would not be able to become a legion of the regular legion.

Pilate eventually refused to use the magic of exhaustion, because since he was a teenager, he had a dream to write a book covering Sydney's past and present.

"When Sydney became independent, there was never a history book covering the past and the present, until it was divided into two countries, and Raying McChow and Fei Argon for the purpose of surveillance, on the one hand, helped Sydney and Siber write history, and on the other hand, they were erasing the history of Sydney and Siber, so Sydney and Siber should have their own history. ”

After the glorious counteroffensive, Pilate had accumulated a lot of merit, but he did not choose to exhaust his magic, so he could not become an officer in the regular legion, and was transferred to the auxiliary legion as a captain.

Pilate's auxiliary legion was assigned the task of guarding and monitoring Urdocia, and Pilate used his spare time to browse the historical materials of Urdoch eagerly, after all, Urdoci was the capital of Sib for hundreds of years, and there were a lot of rich historical materials.

By 2460, Siber had begun to attack Hals of Smokepi on the fortress of Naro, and Dofan had only led the First Legion to attack Sydney.

And Duofan's so-called "only rate" means that there is "only" the first legion in the regular legion to attack, but the auxiliary legion and the naturalization legion also went to two legions, and the 29-year-old Pilate participated in Duofan's action as a deputy general of the auxiliary legion.

After the most difficult initial war, with the defeat of Smoke's Huls, Siber began to relocate more regular troops to Sydney, so Pilate's auxiliary army was relegated to the second line and placed in the same task as Urdoch, one was to defend and the other to monitor the nobles of Chida.

Urdoch is the capital of Siber, and Jida is the capital of Sydney, and there are many historical materials of Sydney's past in the city, so Pilate used his spare time to read local historical materials voraciously, and also published several articles discussing history, which caused a lot of repercussions because of his novel views.

By the year 2471, although the war was not over, Pilate had been allowed to retire, and he refused his family's political arrangements and chose to work at the Dima Academy, which directly awarded him the title of mentor.

What made Pilate unhappy was that when he entered the school, he clearly claimed that he wanted to teach history, but he was assigned to teach military affairs, and the students' favorite questions to ask him were also the deeds of the "Third Sib War", which made Pilate feel laughing and crying.

When life settled down, Pilate spent a few more years saving up and preparing, until in 2475, at the age of 44, Pilate began to use the historical materials he had collected in the past and his own accumulation over the past thirty years to begin to prepare a huge work, which was initially titled "A Brief History of the Sydneysiders", and finally published after several drafts, "The History of the Sydneysiders for 1,800 Years".

After 30 years of writing, the 74-year-old Pilate established himself in history in 2505 after the publication of the first Sydneysider history in Siber.

When he thought that he had spent so long writing The Eighteenth Anniversary of the Founding of the Sydneyside, Pilate was glad that he had not chosen to exhaust his magic in the first place, or he would have died twenty years earlier.

After the release of "The 1,800 Years of the Founding of the Sydneysider", the impact went beyond the historiographical circles, causing almost the entire upper echelons of Sibber to shake.

The first point of shock was that someone finally gave a guide to Xibo, who was still confused after more than 30 years of independence, and the team was defeated, and another thing said, at least the problem of whether there was a problem was solved.

Although Siber and Sydney speak similar languages, they have been separated for more than 400 years, and their ideas are nuanced, and their own history is very vague.

Another point is the history of dynasties, the history of dynasties in the world today is derived from Surassie, that is, history is divided into many small epochs that are trivial, Pilate criticized in the article that "the classic history of dynasties has been reduced to dynasties for the sake of dynasties, resulting in triviality and ignorance." ”

This was the first article Pilate wrote when he was stationed at Jida, and it was also the first article he wrote that caused a sensation in the academic circles, namely "On the History of the Dynasty".

“...... Because the history of our country is so long, in order for beginners to learn history, it is necessary to break the history of the dynasties, so that beginners can establish an intuitive impression by naming the eras, so as to help them learn history better. ”

But now that Siber's dynastics have become a laughing stock, he is no longer dying to help understand history, but dividing political events. ”

"For those barbarian countries with short histories, there is nothing wrong with this, after all, their history is only so shallow, but our Sibo has a history of more than 1,800 years, and if we use political events to break the dynasty, we will lose the original meaning of breaking the dynasty. ”

“...... Therefore, the dynastic should not be judged by political history, otherwise whatever the method of dynastic - as I mentioned above, the eighteen ways of dynastic division in Sydney and Sibber - will make the dynastic division longer and longer to the point that it is not known, so the dynastic history should be divided by the history of ideas. ”

This idea was put forward as early as Pilate's first article, and at that time it caused only a partial reaction in the academic community, until he introduced it in "The Eighteenth Anniversary of the Sydneysider's Founding" and made it the backbone, which caused the idea to cause a sensation.

“...... Therefore, in my opinion, the division of dynasties should be based on ideas, and in the case of Sydneysiders, history only needs three dynasties to suffice, ancient, medieval and modern times. ”

"Ancient, maybe can be subdivided into the ancient era and the classical era, but this is not important, the important thing is the ancient thoughts, they are free-spirited, a hundred schools of thought are in contention, this era of Sydneysiders is full of fighting energy, full of restless thinking about people and the world. ”

"But with the weakening of the Nolanza dynasty, and the conquest of the Philaeon and the Swei-Ying Mai Chiu, Sydney was brutally treated, the country was divided, the ideas were suppressed, and finally there was the great regression of the cities and the general collapse of the countryside, so it was a terrible dark Middle Ages. ”

"But with the arrival of the great 'Mad Man' Hulse in Dima, the Sydneysiders began the first steps of their revival, and that was the beginning of our modern era. However, when the material conditions are restored to the level of antiquity, our minds are still stuck in the backward dark Middle Ages, which is wrong and ridiculous. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are already in a new era, and since you are not aware of the arrival of this era, let me open the door of this era. ”

"Some people will ask, then how to enter the new era? Everything in the Middle Ages was rotten, everything was backward, so we want to bring the mind into the modern age, and the extraordinary first restore the mind to the level of the ancient. ”

Excerpt from "The New Concise History of Siber"——

“...... Pilate's deafening speech at the Dima Academy marked the beginning of the 'retro movement' or 'revival of the ancient style', and then countless thinkers used the slogan of reviving the ancient thought as the ideological basis for the new era that Siber entered, and the future 'movement of reason' was also nurtured in the 'revival of the ancient style'. ”

In the "retro movement", some people are running around in academia and some are putting it into practice, but they don't know it.

The so-called "retro", when the Sydneysiders lacked slaves in ancient times, they would lead the team to leave the city-state and go to the wild to catch barbarians and come back to settle in the fields as slaves for farming, which is also an ancient custom in Sydney and even the world.

It was only after entering the so-called "Dark Middle Ages" that they were "brutally and maliciously oppressed by the powerful powers", which "caused the Sydneysiders to lose many valuable ancient spirits", one of which was the capture of slaves.

During the "Dark Middle Ages", Sydneysiders not only did not capture slaves, but regarded slaves as the "three evils", and saw that they either drove far away or killed them, because this was the "Dark Middle Ages" when everything was going backwards.

In fact, the main reason is that the easily developed land in Sydney has been developed, and the population has become oversized in terms of agricultural society, so the aristocracy naturally has no incentive to continue to develop the land.

But with the beginning of the industrial era, various factories and farmlands have become monsters that devour manpower, and they have an extreme thirst for manpower.

Although there has been such an idea for a long time, someone has to put this idea into practice, and the first person to turn this idea into reality is called Togoto.

Togodo's father, Arabi, died in the "Independence Badge Bubble" more than ten years ago, and after he lived in his uncle's house, the family property was embezzled by the uncle, and Togodo was kicked out as soon as he became an adult, so he tried all kinds of ways to collect his wealth and vowed to avenge his childhood grievances.

It was in this desire that in 2510 Togodo took part in the first slave hunt in recorded history in which the barbarians were actively captured as slaves.

As Pilate said, a new era is coming.
