Chapter 17: The Secret of a Thousand Years
"Samsara No. 228, your identity as a plot character in this world has been confirmed, and you have inherited the hidden plot mission: the freedom of the little werewolf (white stone level). The quest has been completed and the quest reward has been claimed. Obtain the result of world exploration, increase the world exploration by 5%, and the reincarnation contributes 10% of the exploration, and can get additional world exploration rewards. β
"Samsara 228, you get an additional reward for world exploration, and you get the silver plot treasure: Caesar's Freedom."
Caesar's Freedom: Werewolf Statue (consumable item). The statue stores the legendary story creature, the space simulation soul of the werewolf Caesar, the user can temporarily obtain Caesar's soul power and transform into the werewolf Caesar, and the soul power in the statue can last for fifteen minutes.
"Samsara No. 228, you have inherited the reputation of the werewolf clan in the night world, and the current reputation of the werewolf clan is 3800, reaching respect. You and the werewolf leader Caesar's personal reputation is MAX, and when you reach worship, do you join the werewolf clan? No Bloodline or Humanity has yet discovered your plot identity, and the prestige of the two races has not yet been unlocked. β
Xu Mo was slightly startled, the original Baishi-level plot mission had already been left behind by him, but he didn't expect that the space would actually compensate him for the world exploration reward of this hidden mission.
Seriously, ten percent of five percent is 0.5% of the world exploration reward, and according to past experience, it's not much of a consumable with just a silver plot. But after all, this task is only at the Baishi level, and the difficulty of the task is too small, and it is already a surprise to have this compensation, and Xu Mo has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
Got the option of camp selection, Xu Mo was not as hesitant as he was in the night world, and immediately chose to join the werewolf camp. Although there are no plot powerhouses in the human camp and the blood camp who have discovered his identity yet, but Nelna, Caesar and others can feel his breath, then his original plot identity is not far away.
The prestige of the two camps of the Holy Sisse Blood Clan and the Holy See against him is all solidified hatred, and trying to resolve this solidified prestige is a completely small probability event, and there is almost no illusion. Now if you join the werewolf camp early, you can also receive the follow-up tasks earlier, not to mention, in terms of Caesar and his bonds, psychologically, he can no longer do anything to hurt Caesar.
"Samsara No. 228, you complete the main quest 1: join the werewolf camp by inheriting your original prestige. The difficulty of the mission is reduced to (C level), and the mission reward: 4000 credits, 8 skill points, 2 free attributes, and 3 honor points. β
"I don't know much about that war more than 1,800 years ago, and there are many things that need to be verified from you!" After Xu Mo made a choice among the soul seals, he sorted out his thoughts and began to discuss with Caesar.
Caesar's heart moved, more than 1,800 years ago, he was nothing more than a werewolf boy. In fact, when he had the strength to come into contact with the truth of the war, almost a hundred years had passed since the origin of the war. And Xu Mo, as the core figure of the San Cisse incident at that time, should be closer to the truth of the war than him, if Xu Mo really survived the war, there is no need to ask him for anything to prove.
However, Caesar only groaned slightly, and began to tell the truth about the war he had learned thousands of years ago, without asking Xu Mo why he didn't know this. Caesar has always maintained his simple and straightforward nature, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. He knew that Xu Mo had a lot of secrets, and he could feel them, but Caesar was unwilling to dig them out, and even instinctively avoided them.
With Caesar's narration, a magnificent racial war unfolded in front of Xu Mo like a picture scroll. People who fought, people who died, people who were alive, people who were grieving, all kinds of historical fragments passed through his ears and became pictures in his mind.
After escaping, Caesar met with his kindred and brought Garcia's accurate information at the castle of San Cise, and the werewolves finally abandoned the thousand-year covenant with the Bloods and concluded an alliance with the human camp, and the two races opened the prelude to the war against the Thirteen Bloods, the rulers of the Auman Continent.
The Castle of San CessΓ© began at the beginning of the war, and with the help of the exorcists and Templars of Newmanton Fortress, the Werewolves completely cleared the outlying Bloodline strongholds of the San Cisse Plains in just three months, and surrounded the Castle of San Cice.
Prince Victor of the Saint-Cisse Bloodline led the majority of the Orthodox Bloods to break through one night, and although the Saint-Cisse Bloods paid a huge price, they also succeeded in breaking through, and the remnants took refuge in the Corsican Blood.
The war that followed became more and more intense, and the three major races began a long-term tug-of-war, and finally the blood clans, whose population reproduction rate was too slow, were unable to succeed, and were defeated one after another in the later stages of the war, and finally lost the dominance of the continent, and were forced to disappear and hide their whereabouts.
After the end of the war, the victorious human and werewolf races also lost a large number of people, large areas of land were deserted because no one cultivated, and the castle became a lodge for wild beasts at night, and the two races had to be forced to recuperate.
"If it weren't for the struggle for control of the land, then why would werewolves and humans also break out into war? Having just experienced the dark history of being enslaved by the blood clan, these two races should not enslave and hate each other? Xu Mo asked with a frown.
Hearing Xu Mo's question, Caesar sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "After the victory over the Blood Clan, the Werewolf Clan and the human race have a common hatred for each other because of their common history of being enslaved by the Blood Clan, and they have a high degree of mutual recognition. To anyone at the time, a war between the two was inconceivable, but now it is inevitable. β
Caesar's next narrative made Xu Mo speechless, and he had to sigh that the world made people, perhaps the creator of this world had already arranged the ultimate fate of letting these three fight each other when he created the three creatures of humans, werewolves, and blood clans.
Because the blood clan feeds on human blood and sleeps day and night, it is inevitable to enslave humans and werewolves, and this contradiction cannot be reconciled, and the war between the three clans cannot be avoided. After the werewolf and the human race lost the great enemy of the blood race, they gradually discovered that there was also an irreconcilable contradictory relationship between the two races.
Human beings are essentially predatory creatures, but their predatory behavior is gentle, and their most fundamental survival depends on land production. Although there are often internal struggles and struggles for power, in the final analysis, it is a struggle for land and the distribution of benefits. Werewolves, on the other hand, do not produce and depend entirely on hunting and plundering for their survival.
The largest group of werewolves is not intelligent werewolves, but wolf beasts without intelligence. These wolf beasts have no intelligence, but they are also brothers and sisters of intelligent werewolves, and the same blood makes it impossible for them to abandon each other.
Although humans and werewolves divided their respective ruling areas after the end of the war, without the enslavement and oppression of the bloods, the number of wolf beasts completely lost control, and finally they began to spread to human settlements.
Even intelligent werewolves, they also hide the nature of beasts to pursue free hunting, such as the original little werewolf Caesar, is a typical representative of them. In the process of continuous invasion of the gathering places and villages, the more radical forces within the human race, represented by the Holy See and the exorcists, finally issued a call to exterminate the werewolves, and the final war broke out between the three major races.
Unlike the Bloodline's weak ability to reproduce, the Werewolf Race is no slower to reproduce than humans, but the Werewolf Race ultimately loses the war. In fact, the reason is very simple, the individual strength of human beings is not as good as that of wolves, but the number of human intelligence groups far exceeds that of werewolves. Although werewolves have a huge number of wolf beasts, they fail because of the scarcity of intelligent individuals.
"I see!" Xu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, the doubts in his heart were alleviated a lot, based on the most essential truth of the war between the three clans, there were still some doubts about the internal human race, in fact, he already had some answers.
However, since Caesar was in front of him and was the core figure of the Millennium War, he still raised some of his own questions, "Since the Holy See and the exorcists led mankind to victory in two wars, why are there no records of them in modern history?" Why didn't the humans who won the Great War completely exterminate the remnants of the other two races? β
"Humanity has won the war, but this victory does not belong to the Holy See and the exorcists!" Caesar closed his eyes and fell into a long memory.
In the Dark Middle Ages, the Holy See and the Exorcists were once the spiritual pillars of humanity, and it was they who also initiated and initiated these two racial wars. But in the midst of the war, whether it is the Holy See, the exorcists, or the secular rulers of humanity, they all begin to gradually discover a secret.
The secret is what is the driving force behind mankind to win wars, or what is the most powerful power of mankind. Originally, during the period of being ruled by the Bloodline, out of fear of the strong of the Bloodline, any human thought that the most powerful forces of the human race were the Holy See and the Exorcists. But in the course of the war, ordinary humans gradually realized that the strength of the individual does not equal the strength of the race.
It is entirely possible for the powerful and strong to be killed by the weak humans, and even some of the strong will die under the cunning of the weak humans. This discovery caused the Holy See and the exorcists to slowly lose the privileges and benefits in their hands. As the war progresses, the Holy See and the Exorcists find that their voice is slowly being replaced by some secular rulers who control the armies of ordinary humans.
Despite this awareness, the situation continues to move in an uncontrollable direction. Even though the Holy See and the Exorcist were still the most powerful of all human beings at the time, they were no longer the spiritual pillars and sole rulers.
So in the later stages of the war, after humanity had achieved an irreversible advantage, internal contradictions erupted, and the Holy See and the exorcists challenged the secular rulers. This stupid act completely verified the theory that individual strength does not mean absolute superiority, and the Holy See and the exorcists were overwhelmed by ordinary human armies and also disappeared from the stage of history.
