Chapter 14: The Eastern Continent in History
It seems that there is a beautiful eyebrow rotation on both sides of the eyebrows of the streamer, which is dotted on the eyebrows like a small whirlpool, as well as the high eyebrows, narrow eyes, and those strange streamers under the skin, and the forehead without moon bones...... These are all different from the Lepeilian people, and they are also different from the Moye who inherited the appearance of the Lepelian people. He stared at such a Silven priest for a long time, and he couldn't help but be distracted.
Suddenly, the faint, almost emotionless voice vanished, and Mano came back to his senses, only to see the priest's blue eyes facing him. After explaining what a Rysersi was, the priest paused briefly before adding, "This child will return to his homeland with us. It's up to you to stay or return to familiar surroundings, but you must know that the appearance of the streamer will not change in any way as an adult. However, the life cycle of the Lepelian people is extremely short, and if you continue to stay among the Lepelian people, it will be even more abrupt in the future, and you will not be able to have your own offspring. ”
The reason why the priest reminded the demon so much is that in the culture, family concept and social relations of the Lepelian people, succession has always been regarded as the most important thing in life. The Lepelians are a blood-based race, and they are usually united by a family or nation in order to fight together against other families or peoples. However, the cultural concept of the streamer people is very different.
"Why can't I have my own offspring? Am I not the descendant of the Streamer and the Lepei Feidi?" Although Mono had some unusual premonitions a long time ago, the truth was still far beyond all his imagination. Priest Silwin's words had subverted Moye's perception of the world to a large extent, and the sudden appearance of that flaming child had also forced him to accept many unbelievable things beyond his cognition without being fully prepared, and he was difficult to digest for a while, and his mind was messy.
"No, you're not a descendant of the Streamers and Leppelin at all. In fact, you're just a streamer, and it has nothing to do with what you look like. In terms of biological differences, you and Le Peilian are not of the same species. Your blood, your body's internal structure, and its functions are all the same as those of Lepelian. Once again, the priest completely repudiated Mano's self-righteous perception.
Emotional abundance and changeable emotions are the distinctive characteristics of Lepeilian people. So, the priest just boiled down the psychological experience of Mano to
"The temporary effects of his past upbringing" are just no attempt to soothe him or wait for him to get used to it. After all, the Streamers and the Lepelian are two very different races, and there are many differences in their ways of thinking. In streamers, there are usually no obvious emotional contradictions, or fickle emotional problems. Of course, before this, the priest had never expected that he would meet such a streamer of the Rysersi with the superficial characteristics of the Lepelian people, as well as temporary psychological characteristics.
But as one of the priests of the Streamer Clan, it is the duty of Priest Sirwin to tell Mono as much truth as possible, so that he will not suffer some avoidable tribulations and difficulties that may threaten his existence in the future due to his own misconceptions. The priest then went on to explain: "Your existence is actually caused by a special factor. So far, you are the only streamer who has the superficial characteristics of Lepeilian. In fact, biologically, the Streamer and the Lepelian are two different species, so it is impossible for them to naturally produce any hybrid offspring. You are actually a streamer lifeform that evolved from the fusion of the blood of the Rysersi and the blood of the Tree of Life in your homeland. And the mother body of the Lepei Lian Fei Yan can only be regarded as a temporary carrier created by an accident. ”
"W-What do you mean? I don't understand at all......" Mano was stunned, this information was obviously more surprising than all the previous information combined.
You must know that in the cultural concept of the Lepeilian people, both the father and the mother are irreplaceable special existences for the child. Most of them will love their children and accompany them as much as possible to grow up, which is almost the only safe support for children in their early years. Although he has never met his biological parents, Mano has always been raised by the culture of Lepeilian. As a result of those ideas, he, like all the Lepeilians around him, longed for the care and affection of his blood relatives, had very affectionate feelings for his parents, whom he had never met, and fantasized about finding them one day. But unexpectedly, on this day, someone told him that his father was a "foreigner", and his mother was actually not related to him by blood, and that appearance was not the only criterion for distinguishing races, and that only the soul could prove belonging. In short, Mono's mind was in chaos now.
However, the culture of the streamer people is very different from the culture of Lei Peilian.
What Moye doesn't know is that the streamers have no family concept. The streamers treat each child as if they were their own children, and they will not be treated differently in any form, because they all belong to the children of the streamers, which has nothing to do with who their biological parents are. After they are born, they are cared for and protected by all the Streamers, and until they reach adulthood, they are mainly taught by priests, rather than as a family unit, following their parents who gave birth to them. In fact, there are no such kinship titles as "father" or "mother" in the streamer. To understand a race, you must first understand their language. Because, from the language and way of speaking, we can directly or indirectly understand their cultural concepts, ways of thinking, living environment, racial temperament, social relations and survival methods, and so on. However, since Moye could not speak the language of the streamer, in order to make it easier for Moye to better understand his words, the priest of Sirwen would use these kin titles in the Lepeilian language in the process of using the Lepeilian language to explain.
"You should know that the Streamer people do not belong to the world of Lepeilian, our homeland is called the 'Streamer Star', and the Streamer Star is completely different from this world. If you calculate the time of Lepeilian's world, the streamer should have fallen into this world 1,318 years ago. The reason why we fell here is actually inseparable from the Lepei Lian Fei people......"
In order to gain a more accurate understanding of his origins, the priest told him in detail a history that was little known among the Lepelians. Because, this history is directly related to the existence of Moye, but it is completely different from the historical stories he had heard before and passed down by the Lepeilian people......
In the ancient Lepelian world, whether it was the Sava people in the north, the Lepeilian people in the central region, the Fiji people in the south, or the rest of the ethnic minorities who had long been assimilated by the Lepelian people in the central region, as well as the remnants of the people who were slaughtered by the war, they were all the aborigines here, living together on the land of the eastern continent, and they were all ethnic groups that diverged from the same Lepeilian ancestors. At that time, the Western Continent had not yet been discovered.
The earliest civilization in the world originated from the Leipeilian civilization in the central region of the Eastern Continent. The language and writing that are spoken in the world today were invented by the Lepeilian people in the central region of the Eastern Continent. Looking back at history, in most respects, the Lepelian people in the central region have always been in a dominant position in the development of civilization in this world. Because, in ancient times, the central region had a superior environment and abundant products, providing the local inhabitants with a wide variety of plants and animals that could be domesticated into crops and livestock, making them the world's earliest agricultural peoples, with abundant surplus food, able to breed more people, and cultivating many professionals of all kinds except farmers, such as politicians and foundries, etc., and rapidly developed into a very aggressive social form with distinct hierarchies, so that they had the favorable conditions to conquer other peoples. Comparatively speaking, the hunter-gatherers in the north and the seafaring peoples in the south were in a relatively equal and simple social structure, and did not divide into fixed class groups. All these reasons have gradually inflated the sense of superiority of the inhabitants of the central region, causing them to ignore all the objective conditions that have cultivated them, and arrogantly regard the northern and southern ethnic groups as inferior peoples. Because they consider their bloodline to be nobler, more intelligent, and more worthy of the title of "Lepelian" with the meaning of domination.
In the history of Lepelian, there is a pivotal figure that has to be mentioned, he is the king of Gushir - Yiwan Sukaranna.
To this day, Yiwan Sukarlana is still the only emperor in the history of Lepelian who has unified the Eastern Continent, and is known as the "Heroic Emperor". He once created a nearly invincible Hill empire and unified the language, script, and chronology of the Lepelian world. Even the Sava people, who had left the Eastern Continent 1,339 years ago and came to the Western Continent to establish their own kingdom, still use these languages and chronological methods.
The year of his accession to the throne at the age of twenty-three was the first year of the Lepelian calendar, which was 1,353 years ago. Therefore, this year is the year 1353 of the Lepelian calendar.
As a young man, the king of Hill, Yiwan Sukaranna, was eloquent, ruthless, and ambitious. From the moment he ascended the throne, he was determined to conquer the world. At that time, the world in the eyes of Lepeilian people was actually just the land of the Eastern Continent, but for the people at that time, it was vast enough. Before the unification of the Eastern Continent, the Kingdom of Hill was located in the central region of the Eastern Continent, which was the birthplace of civilization in this world.
It took Yi Wan a full decade to conquer more than 20 large and small countries on the Eastern Continent with a thunderous force, as well as some ethnic minority groups and tribes. However, in the final stage of the unification of the Eastern Continent, there were two things that he found a little tricky. One is the large country in the southwest, Mingu, and the other is the small coastal city of Fiji, which has great wealth but does not belong to any country.
The Ming Dynasty has a strong national strength, and even though it is already on the verge of death, it is not so easy to capture. What Yi Wan was looking forward to was not an ending in which the fish died and the net was broken, besides, at that time, Minggu, like the Kingdom of Hill, had coveted the rich Feiyu City for a long time.
Fiji City is located in the coastal area of the southern part of the Eastern Continent, and the number of Fiji people is very scarce, with a population of only about 10,000 at that time. However, this sparsely populated nation created as much as half of the total wealth of the entire Eastern Continent at that time, which is coveted.
Historically, the Fiji people have never established their own state, they are not keen on political affairs, and they are indifferent to the situation in the eastern continent, and they have no sense of crisis. Because they have put all their passion into the great cause of nautical exploration. While Iwan Sukarana was busy conquering the Eastern Continent, the Fidans were on the verge of war and sailed to conquer the vast oceans, unaware that they were in for a catastrophe.
In ancient times, the rough seas of the vast ocean always discouraged the Lepelians, who considered it an unconquerable realm of death, with the exception of the Fidans. The brave Fiji people created the world's first ship, and from that moment on, they became obsessed with adventure, determined to conquer the daunting sea.
As a result, the Fiji people in the south became the earliest seafaring people in the Eastern Continent. They are brave and intelligent, love freedom, adventurous, romantic and melancholy, love their homeland, and always have a zest for life. They like to create wealth, but they are not greedy for money, and they live in groups in the small city of Fiji, living in a corner and living an unrestrained life, and they do not care at all about other people and things outside the city.
The early seafaring expeditions of the Fiji people mainly sailed around the coastline of the eastern continent. But when their shipbuilding skills reached a new level, they began to try to explore farther away, and gradually moved away from the eastern continent. It wasn't until the 10th year of the Lepeilian calendar that they finally discovered the existence of the Western Continent. It was supposed to be an exciting discovery, but it was in the final stages of the conquest of the Eastern Continent by Iwan Sukaranna, so it did not attract attention and was soon drowned in the flames of war. No one cared about the small wave of inconsequential Fiji voices, and even if they did, no one would believe them. Because, at that time, it was generally believed that the Eastern Continent was the only land and world center.
Just as the Fiji people were immersed in the excitement of discovering the Western Continent, the flames of war in the Eastern Continent finally burned to the door of the Fiji people's doorstep......
