Chapter 1: The Beginning of It All, Green
The Arroyo Mountains stretch for thousands of miles from north to south, like a giant dragon across the center of the Roland Continent, dividing the Roland Continent into two. www.biquge.info To the east of Arroyo, the Sumerian Empire held the vast majority of the area, while to the west of Arroyo, the Ragash Empire held a unified position.
The two human empires, the Sumerian Empire and the Lagash Empire, occupy the essence of the central part of the Roland Continent, and the rest of the land is occupied by various subhuman races.
The Sumerian Empire was the empire of the ********, the New Testament Church ruled this vast empire, and the Pope was the spiritual and secular ruler of the entire empire. Ursu is the capital of Sumer and the seat of the Holy See, known as the land of the gods, and legend has it that this was the place where the creator god Gordon came.
The Sumerians believed that the entire continent of Roland was created by Gordon in seven days, so that all things belonged to the creator God, Gordon.
In the Lagash Empire, the Mage Council is the ruling force, and the president of the Mage Guild is also the head of the empire. Grasse is its capital and the general residence of the Mage Guild.
The mage profession was developed from the monks who originally explored the entire world created by the gods, and in the process of exploring the world created by the gods, they discovered the existence of magical energy, so they created the mage profession outside of the gods.
The mage and the monk were in harmony at first, and together they maintained the garden created by the gods on the Roland Continent, and looked forward to the return of the gods. However, when the mages began to explore the starry sky, the two sides broke up, because when the mages turned their eyes to the starry sky, they deeply doubted the existence of gods and preached atheism.
From the beginning of the conflict to the later wars, the history of Elamite turned into the unknown, and after several major wars, the pattern of confrontation between the Sumerian Empire and the Lagash Empire across the Arroyo Mountains began to take shape.
Sunset Canyon is the narrowest part of the Arroyo Mountains, only a hundred kilometers wide, and it is also the flattest place, so it has become the most important strategic point in the entire Roland Continent, and both the Sumerian Empire and the Lagash Empire are stationed here to defend it. The Sunset Gorge, a hundred kilometers long and fifty kilometers wide, is full of tension even in the most peaceful times on the continent, and skirmishes occur every day.
In June 10562 A.H., the Parthian fortress of the Sunset Gorge of the Lagash Empire.
Tensions between the two empires have grown since the accession of the sixteenth Pope of the Sumerian New Testament Church, Martin St. Paul, a staunch fanatic, insisted that the mages had stolen the power of God and were the most evil heretics and should be burned at the stake. After he ascended to the throne, the oppression of mages in Sumer became more frequent and severe.
At this time, the incumbent president of the Mage Association, Leander Bernal, was also a tough person and a famous nine-star mage, he firmly believed that the church hindered the development of Elam, and after Martin St. Paul succeeded to the throne, he made a lot of counterattacks and won the admiration and support of most mages.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Roland, who has been recuperating for nearly a thousand years, is not far off, and all the materials of Roland are slowly rising in price, even if last year's rare harvest of crops, the price of grain is still rising by three percent.
Dressed in a gray robe and wearing the emblem of a six-star mage on his chest, the space mage Grim Jacob was slowly walking down the streets of the Parthian fortress. It has been five years since he came to Parthia to serve, and after countless battles, his strength has also been improved from five to six stars.
As a member of the Mage Guild, Green is obligated to join the Imperial Army and serve his country. But when the strength reaches the level of a six-star mage, he also has a lot of privileges, at least he can come and go freely in the army. Unlike mages below six stars, they have to serve in the army for at least ten years.
Yesterday, he received a letter from his teacher, Joseph Doug, asking him to return to Pera in the near future and that he had a mission to carry out. He is now going to the fortress headquarters to find the supreme commander of the fortress mage department, Marfa, the eight-star fire mage.
Seeing Green coming over, both the sergeants and civilians on patrol on the street nodded to Green and saluted, because his space six-star mage logo was very eye-catching. Soon, he arrived at Marfa's office, which was one of the few mage towers in the fortress, and it was very eye-catching.
All the way unimpeded, Green successfully met the eight-star fire mage Marfa.
"Green, I know your intentions, your teacher has also sent me a letter, go to my eldest disciple Heidenson, he will handle the formalities for you. Go ahead! ”
Green thought that it would take a lot of words to achieve the goal, but he didn't expect to achieve the goal so easily, and Green was a little puzzled in his heart. However, he knew that the time of the eight-star mage was precious, so after he saluted the mage Marfa, he left the headquarters.
The resignation went smoothly, and after saying goodbye to his friends, Green set out on his way to Pera.
Pera was the capital of the Akkadian province of the Lagash Empire, located on the side of the Maple Grove Mountains, a branch of the Arroyo Mountains. Green's teacher, Joseph Doug's Mage Tower of the Eight-Star Space Department, is located at the highest point of Maple Grove Mountain.
After twenty days of traveling, Green finally arrived at the teacher's mage tower when night came. Unable to stay, Green went directly to see the teacher Joseph. Joseph was on the top floor of the Mage's Tower, and when Green came up, he was looking up at the starry sky.
Green did not interrupt the teacher's musings, he came behind Joseph and stood quietly with his hands tied.
After a long time, Joseph spoke, "When will the veil of the starry sky be lifted?" With that, he turned and looked at Green.
"You haven't fallen behind in your homework, you're already a six-star mage, not bad. You must know that it is difficult for a mage of the space system to improve his strength, and you can reach this level at the age of twenty-five, which is already surpassing me. Joseph was happy at first, then a little melancholy.
Green was a little apprehensive, "Teacher, how can I surpass you?" You are Roland's only eight-star mage in the space system, which is something that no one can refute. ”
Joseph smiled and shook his head, "Green, you've been out for so long, and your eyes still haven't been opened!" You must know that Roland is only one continent of Eland, and there are already mages who have explored another continent that is not smaller than Roland, and this is not counting other kinds of mages, with my strength, it is not the only one. ”
Green bowed his head and said, "Yes, teacher, it's my vision that is too narrow. ”
Joseph knew that his most proud disciple did not agree with what he had just said, and it was also that space mages were too rare and too difficult to advance, so to some extent, Green was not wrong.
However, Joseph didn't care about Green's attitude, because he knew that today, Green would change his opinion.
"Do you know why I'm in a hurry to bring you back?" Joseph asked Greene.
"If there is something to do, please ask the teacher for instructions." Green said respectfully.
"Don't be so serious, Green, you're not good at that." Joseph said helplessly.
Green's eyes were a little moist and said, "The teacher picked me up from the pile of dead people, raised me, and brought me into the mage's gate. ”
"Well, got it, got it. I won't tease you, this time I came back to you to let you go to Biggs to learn. Joseph said, and a leather roll appeared in his hand.
Biggs Society? The legendary Biggs Society?
Of course, Green knew, and the whole of Roland knew that the Biggs Society was founded at the end of the Third Continental War, which surpassed the nine-star mage, and attracted a large number of nine-star mages to join.
Legend has it that as long as a mage joins the Bilagos Society, then becoming a nine-star mage is no longer a dream! Therefore, in the 10,000 years since the establishment of the Biggs Society, countless mages have tried every means to join the Biggs Society, but most of them have not been able to do so.
As a space mage with more advanced difficulty than other mages, Green naturally wants to join the Biggs Society even more, although the teacher Joseph is an eight-star space mage, he is specialized but not a space spell, and his water spell is more proficient than his space spell. So Green usually spends most of his time studying on his own, so you can imagine how difficult his practice is.
Could it be that the leather scroll in the teacher's hand is the legendary letter of recommendation? It's incredible!
"You're right, this is the legendary Biggs Institute's letter of recommendation, Green, but the Biggs Institute is not what you think. Lord Biggs founded the Society to end wars and explore the stars! Rather than treating it as a place to teach. It seemed to see what Green was thinking, and Joseph affirmed Green's thoughts.
Geda's brain seems to be a little confused, and Biggs has learned that it is only a legend, because it is hidden in the depths of history, and has never heard of its legend, and no one has ever proved to have found it.
And just now, the teacher seems to have taken out the legendary letter of recommendation?
It was only later that he discovered that war was not so easy to eliminate, and that the contradictions between mages and monks were irreconcilable. He ended the Third Continental War single-handedly, but he later discovered that the main reason for the end of the war was that the two empires were no longer able to carry on the war, and his actions were nothing more than giving the two empires a step. Joseph ignored Green's daze and continued to speak of the unknown secret.
"After discovering the reason, His Excellency Bilags turned to studying the starry sky, hoping to find a real way to end the war in the starry sky, which is the main goal of the Biggs Society."
"Green, you were born to learn from Biggs, I know you've always had the hope of finding intelligent beings like us in the stars, and you hate war so much in your heart."
"Grimm, go, go north, at the end of the Arroyo Mountains, in the middle of the White Jedi, and you will find what you are looking for! There will be the power for you to make your dreams come true."
Green heeded his teacher's teachings, gathered his salute in joy and sorrow, and set out on the road to find his dreams.
