Chapter 30: Lost History
Ari feels that these legendary races are very likely to really exist, although there is no record in the official history, but in the biographical novels, all kinds of elves, dragon slaying warriors emerge in an endless stream, and they may not be without reason!
When he used to look at the history of the mainland, he always had a doubt: Is it really only more than 1,000 years since the development of the mainland? His answer is impossible.
Ari first dismissed this possibility, as it seems to be very old, and all the documents describe the events of a thousand years ago very vaguely, and there is no exact information.
All the information about a thousand years ago seems to have come to an abrupt halt, and the vanishing is almost unreasonable and abrupt, and the millennium ago is not like the beginning of history, but like a period of development to a glorious period, but it has been devastated and obliterated.
There is another point that cannot be ignored, why does magic seem to exist inherently in human society? If the history of the continent is really only a thousand years, then when and how was magic born, and why is there no relevant record?
Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, iResearch thinks that it is more likely that history has been left out by man.
Holding the book in his hand that seemed to be the book of the elven prince, Ari's long-term speculation was proved for the first time, these races existed! If there were really countless magical races, what a vast world it was!
As the name suggests, this is a botanical study of the magical world, documenting where magical plants grow, as well as their magical properties and uses.
After flipping through a few pages in one go, Ari looked up with a confident smile on his face. He felt that the veil of mystery in this world had been grasped by him, and he was just one chance away from seeing the whole picture!
This is a book of medicinal herbs, but who said that a book of herbs can only record medicinal herbs?
His gaze rested on a yellow-green flower with a large number of branched roots, and its text was described below.
Kassala grass, produced in the mountains of the southern part of the continent at an altitude of 3,000 meters, under the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests or deciduous broad-leaved forests dominated by Korean pine, this plant was once believed to have magical powers, because its roots are very similar to the human body, and when paired with red orchid fruit, it can cure cough and chills all over the body (see page 79 for details of red orchid fruit).
That's it! Ari whistled lightly, and the smile on his face became even brighter, as far as Ari knew, the southern part of the continent was mostly plain! There were no more than a thousand meters of mountains, how could it be suitable for the growth of Kasara grass?
It even occurred to Ari that the book might be describing another continent, but he quickly overturned his idea. Otherwise, there are many places in the book that are perfectly described and perfectly matched with the current terrain, how to explain it?
Ari looked at the next one with interest. Fire dragon grass, sex belongs to fire, the growth period is ten years, the maturity period is one year, the grass body is between one foot eight inches and two feet three inches, it has a miraculous effect on fire attribute cultivators, and if it is not picked properly, it will spontaneously combust and release a large number of flames to burn the pickers, produced in the flame canyon in the east of the continent.
The east side of the continent?Ari nodded, there are a lot of extinct volcanoes, and it makes sense that when the volcano erupted, it was named Flame Canyon, but there are still a large number of lakes flowing around, how to explain it?
Ari made bold assumptions and carefully verified. This situation can be found in many places in the book, which can corroborate each other and prove his conjecture.
Another evidence that Ari suspects that history has been artificially erased thousands of years ago is the record of geography, perhaps because the people or forces who hide history do not pay attention to geography books, and some ancient books even record the geographical changes from 10,000 years ago to the present.
By comparing the growth environment of the medicinal herbs in the book with the environmental changes in the geographical record, iResearch can easily deduce the date of the book's writing, but the conclusions he comes to are jaw-dropping.
Books were created more than 2,000 years ago!
Ari's eyes lit up on the page, his eyes burning with a raging fire, this is an antique!
He decided to hide the book and return it to Gathass......?
Because he had to make comparisons at any time, he didn't see more than a third of it until it was dark. These extremely boring contents were simply full of brilliance in Ari's eyes, and he was holding the book and reading it with relish, almost forgetting the time.
I'm afraid no one could have imagined that Ari's way of reading books was so different, and that reading a book of medicinal herbs would become an exploration of human history......
However, with Eri's memory, even if he didn't deliberately memorize it, the third of what he had seen seemed to be imprinted in his mind, and he could recall the specific content when he thought about it.
This incidentally asked Garthus to complete some ......
Before dawn the next day, Ari quickly put on his clothes and rushed out, and instead of going directly to the blacksmith's shop, he went straight to the tavern.
Perhaps winter is really approaching, the cold wind in the north blows people's faces, the temperature in the morning plummets, and the coldest season of the year has slowly begun.
"Gal!" shouted Ari, standing downstairs in the tavern.
Gal didn't seem to wake up yet, rubbing his eyes and opening the window, he saw Ari waving excitedly at him.
"Gal, come down. Ari greeted Gal outside the window like an old friend for years.
Garr stood in front of the window with a confused expression, am I so familiar with you?
After a while, Gal got dressed and walked out of the tavern, looked at Ari cautiously and asked, "What's the matter?"
Ari leaned mysteriously towards Garr, a vendor selling films. He whispered, "Do you want to apprentice?"
Gal glanced at him, turned and left, early in the morning he was insane, and he still couldn't beat it......
"Do you want to learn from the blacksmith?" said Ari whispered behind him.
Gar's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look at him with some disbelieving: "Do you have a way?"
"Of course you are, but you have to prove that you're not a bad person. Ari said with a look of arrogance.
"My name is Gar Barak" Gal hesitated for a moment and said, he remembered what his father said about the status of the Kingdom Guardian in the Kingdom, so the apprentice of the Kingdom Guardian Apprentice should not be considered an outsider, right?
"I didn't ask your name...... Barak, what do you have to do with the kingdom of Barak? Ari asked with a squint of eyes as he first grinned, then suddenly realized the key point.
"The current king is my grandfather," said Gal, holding his head proudly up.
"It's still a grandson...... "Ari asked thoughtfully, "What is the identity of the blacksmith?"
"You don't know?" said Gal, looking at Ari suspiciously.
"I'm his apprentice, I don't know, I just want to verify whether what you say is true. Ari said calmly.
"Oh......" Garr didn't hesitate to tell everything he knew about the Guardians of the Kingdom.
"I see. Ari touched his chin and nodded, then laughed sinisterly: "I don't know if you've ever heard of a word called substitute apprenticeship?"
