Section 29 ceiling
What happened 11 years before the Mogoth calendar?
Chen Yin wanted to learn about it from the history books of the Ottoman Empire and the Quest Empire, which were adjacent to the Mogoth Empire.
Unlike the Mogot Empire, the history of the Ottoman Empire has only two volumes, and the earliest records appear more than 600 years ago.
Its first emperor was a knightly lord who led his companions for more than 50 years to establish a state by means of war to capture a province from the territory of another ancient and disintegrating empire, the Queens Empire.
In the following decades, the Ottoman Empire produced several wise lords, vigorously supported the Ring Bearers and free mercenaries, encouraged high-ranking knights to establish private knights, and promised that anyone who conquered a certain area of land could be divided into lords by him, and the Ottoman Empire began a history of expansion for nearly a hundred years.
After 93 years, the expanding Ottoman Empire finally angered all its neighbors, triggering a war that lasted for many years, known as the 13-year war.
Due to the martial arts of the Ottoman Empire, the lords under its jurisdiction were also experienced in a hundred battles, and at the beginning of the war, the coalition forces of several countries were defeated, and the armies of the lords in the later stage of the war had already entered the borders of the other side.
In the 11th year of the war, the Ottoman Empire's original good form suddenly reversed, and it lost several major battles in a row with a huge advantage, until it was defeated. In the history books, there is no clear description of these defeats.
Under the mediation of the Holy Light Church, the defeated Ottoman Empire canceled the development order, compensated several surrounding countries for a large amount of property and land, and in the same year, the Holy Light Church was established as the state religion and the judicial power was transferred to the Chief Justice of the Holy Light Church in the Ottoman Empire.
The territory of the Ottoman Empire was then stabilized until the rise of the Mogot Empire, which lost a third of its territory due to successive defeats.
The Quest Empire has a slightly longer history, having once been part of the ancient empire of Quinns, which later split off and became independent during civil strife.
Over the next 700 years, the territory of the Quest Empire shrank to the Ottoman Empire, which was later reclaimed by the intervention of the Church of Light. After that, a small part was annexed by the Mogot Empire.
After the establishment of the Quest Empire, it has gone through several major wars and has been the invaded side, and each time it has been a big defeat and a loss, and not a single victory has been won. Successive emperors were also incompetent and greedy for pleasure, and the domestic bureaucracy was seriously corrupt, and the people were struggling to make a living......
But no matter how it failed, it has not been extinguished.
In the history of the Quest Empire, at the beginning of its independence, the tradition of the ancient Queens Empire continued: the Church of the Light was the state religion, and the jurisdiction was also given to the Church of the Light.
In both histories, it seems that the rise and fall of all empires are inseparable from the Church of Light. What role did it play in dynastic change?
Chen Yin searched for the history books of the ancient empire of Queens again. This time, he finally saw some dry goods:
Quinns is called the Ancient Empire because he existed for countless years before the Millennium War, and after the Millennium War, the royal family was killed and wounded, and in the absence of a direct heir, he began a 300-year side seizure of power until the final split.
And the most eye-catching of them is the last royal direct member of the Queens Empire, known as the Legend of the Wind Garros Blackquinns, who is an 8-star super rank windranger. In the Millennial War, he was killed by the Grey Orc hero Samuro Fireblade, ending his glorious life.
Among them, the description of Garros when he died in battle especially attracted Chen Yin's attention:
“…… The howling wind swept up the sand and gravel, but Samuro's long knife could cut through the wind, and Garros was in a different place in the wailing of the wind elemental......"
A dignified 8-star super-rank windranger is actually not the enemy of Samuro? Look at this description of Samuro like chopping melons and vegetables?
And Chen Yin also noticed another problem, that is, the tone of this sentence does not seem to be based on the Queens Empire as the first perspective, but rather like a part of Samuro's biography.
It seems that the Church of Light is hiding more than just the history of humanity.
Earlier in the time when Garros of the Legend of the Wind died in battle, the history of the Queens Empire was interrupted. It seems that the history books of all countries are the node of the last millennium war, and there is no record of what happened before this point.
"Gray orc, the thousand-year-old war ......" Chen Yin was full of these two words, and put the history books he took out back on the bookshelf one by one.
Looking at this huge bookshelf containing tens of thousands of history books, Chen Yin couldn't help but sigh.
It's a big task to find useful information.
Thinking so, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
At the back of the row of Mogot Empire's history books, there is an inconspicuous small gap, which is not enough for a tome, but it is naturally unusual compared to other bookshelves that are crammed.
Chen Yin reached into the purple gas and touched it slightly, and there was indeed something strange in this small gap—a thin line of raised light.
Touching this thin line, the outline of a book is gradually outlined.
This outline line is deposited by the purple gas, like ash falling on a bookshelf. The previous few books, after being pulled out, would leave such an outline.
Taken by the Light? Or was it borrowed by someone?
Chen Yin hurried back to the central platform, and behind the catalogue there were records of all the books that had been stored, loaned, and returned for nearly a thousand years.
It's another big project.
Rubbing his face, Chen Yin continued to bury his head in the record, looking it up word by word from back to front......
Time slipped away minute by minute.
I don't know how long it took, until Chen Yin's stomach began to rumble in protest, that he woke up from the endless letters.
Open the paper bag and take out a small piece of cake and stuff it into your mouth.
"Breakfast turned into Chinese food...... Yes! Uh-huh......"
Chen Yin turned around and was startled, a bite of cake almost choked him to death.
A silver-haired girl in a white dress appeared behind Chen Yin at some point, and was staring at Chen Yin with suspicious eyes at this time.
"Uh, hello?" Chen Yin pulled out an ugly smile.
"Hmm." The girl nodded expressionlessly, not staring at Chen Yin, but instead paying attention to the open record on the high platform.
"You...... Also to read a book? Chen Yin swallowed the cake in his hand in two bites, and rubbed his hand on his pants.
"Hmm."
"Hello, I'm the new administrator, my name is Chen Yin." The girl's voice was very good, but every time she answered, there was a faint sense of distance, which made Chen Yin so embarrassed that he couldn't talk anymore.
However, there is a question that Chen Yin must know.
"Excuse me, you...... Where did you go before? ”
The girl turned her head, looked at Chen Yin with a strange expression, stretched out her white and tender fingers and pointed upward, and then seemed to lose interest in Chen Yin, jumped off the high platform lightly with a turn of her heels, and her white greasy calves flashed away between the skirts......
It wasn't until her back disappeared behind the gate that Chen Yin raised his head and looked up.
