In the courtyard of the senators, He Ping followed the great elder on a long corridor, the corridor was also deserted, except for the great elder and He Ping, there was no life, on the walls on both sides of the corridor, He Ping saw a lot of relief murals, which seemed to tell a magnificent story, some were two human armies at war, some were wearing a crown and were receiving the cheers of the people, and some were destroyed cities.

The voice of the Great Elder became more and more ethereal against the backdrop of the corridor: "This land was also once glorious, human beings multiplied on the land, established villages, towns, cities, and countries, but because of this, the war has never stopped, hundreds of years ago, Langton the Great was born, led his army to sweep through the countries, integrated this continent, established the Langton Empire, unified the human language, and ended the war. ”

He Ping looked at the relief murals around, indeed many of them were about the founding process of the Langton Empire that the Great Elder had just mentioned, just listening to the Great Elder telling stories, just looking at these relief murals, the breath of history came to his face, He Ping seemed to see the scene of people in that era struggling for survival, and when it came to the Langton Empire, the Great Elder was also embarrassed, as if he was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

However, after a pause, the original nostalgic look on the Great Elder's face turned into sadness, and his tone began to be low: "Everyone thought that with the Langton Empire as a backer, mankind would enter a period of peaceful development, and without war, the population would increase rapidly, and the world would be more prosperous, but at this time, a sudden and inexplicable accident occurred, and more than a hundred years ago, a giant beast appeared. ”

"Behemoths?" He Ping finally heard something that he was more interested in: "Is it the giant beast that looks like a bear I saw before?" And the one under our feet is also a giant beast, right? According to you, these things didn't exist before, so how did they come about? ”

"I don't know." The Great Elder shook his head and gave the answer: "We don't know, no one knows where these things come from, and we don't know why they appear here, some people say that they are visitors from outside the world, some people say that they are inhabitants of the underworld, and some people say that they suddenly mutated, but there is still no definite answer, all we know is that these things suddenly appeared, and then destroyed our civilization and destroyed the Langton Empire with a force that humans cannot match." ”

He Ping was stunned, this fact is a bit strange and a little difficult to accept, no wonder when talking about this matter, the Great Elder would show such an expression, originally a good country, without even figuring out the specific reasons, was directly crushed by the absolute force that could not be opposed, and the human race was also displaced, this inexplicable disaster, no matter who it was, must have made that person vomit blood in depression.

The Great Elder's expression softened slightly, and he continued: "Human beings tried to resist, but unfortunately, with the level of civilization at that time, they could not cause any harm to the giant beasts, and all the small resistances of human beings ended in failure, and even the temporary settlements established by human beings were swept away by giant beasts one by one, and human beings are facing the danger of extinction, without a place to live, human beings may be able to survive, but civilization will definitely disappear, and human beings will degenerate into primitive animals, but at this time, it is also giant beasts that have saved human beings. ”

He Ping looked at his feet, this crocodile giant beast was different from the brown bear giant beast, the brown bear giant beast began to attack the moment he saw him, and the crocodile giant beast not only did not attack him, but was still protecting him, and took him to the city on his back, and everyone else in the city was also protected by the crocodile giant beast, seeing He Ping's gaze, the Great Elder nodded and said: "That's right, it is the 'city beast' that saved the human race, including the giant beast under our feet!" ”

"City beasts?" He Ping had heard this term, and when he had just entered here, those young people had mentioned this word, but at that time He Ping could not understand the true meaning of this word, and now he heard the Great Elder say this word, and listening to his tone, this crocodile beast under his feet is a city beast.

"At first, human beings thought that all giant beasts were the same, they all wanted to destroy human beings, and they could not communicate with human beings, but later, among the many giant beasts they saw, people found that some giant beasts not only did not attack human beings, but would protect human beings from the hands of other giant beasts, and the most important thing is that those giant beasts were able to communicate with human beings, and these giant beasts even allowed human beings to build settlements on their backs, and then the settlements became bigger and bigger, and the number of people increased, and gradually became cities, Therefore, humans called these behemoths 'city beasts', and the rest of the behemoths were called 'desolate beasts'. ”

The city beast and the desolate beast originally came from this way, the two terms he had heard before were explained, and He Ping's heart also settled down a little, and in the words of the Great Elder just now, he found something very interesting: "Communication? Can humans and city beasts communicate? In other words, you can fight this crocodile giant **? How? Could it be that the Behemoth is capable of using human language? ”

"Hehe, no hurry." The Great Elder turned his head and winked at He Ping like a child, deliberately betrayed it, and said, "I'll take you to the council hall first, to meet the other elders, as for how to communicate with the city beasts, you'll know later." ”

While talking, the two came to the end of the corridor, and a large door appeared in front of He Ping's eyes, this time, He Ping finally saw the others, on both sides of the gate, a man and a woman wearing the same clothes as Owen and others who went to greet He Ping just now stood there, looking like they were twenty years old at most, and the two saw the Great Elder coming, first bowed their heads and saluted, and then opened the door left and right.

A round conference hall appeared in front of He Ping, the conference hall is not big, the center is a round table, a circle of chairs are placed around the table, at this time, there are a total of nine people in the conference hall sitting around the round table, it seems that these people are the elders in charge of the Senate, but a little to He Ping's surprise, I thought that the people who were called elders were all respected old men and old women, but among these nine people, there were old people, middle-aged people, and even young people who didn't look much older than him.

There are three old men, one woman and two men, very similar to the elder, all of them have white beards and hair, and they are dressed in white robes, and the three middle-aged people are dressed in different clothes, a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a fat head and big ears, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a businessman, and the last one is a woman, a typical female teacher image, and the three young people are all wearing the same clothes as Owen, a young man with a similar hairstyle and atmosphere to Owen, a red-haired young man with a hedgehog-like hairstyle, and the last one is not a few years older than He Ping, A young woman with gorgeous blonde hair.
