Chapter 227: Starting from the beginning
At this point, Xiao Chen finally understood why this continent had developed into the current situation, everything stemmed from the arrangement of the ancestors of the Tower of Origin thousands of years ago. Xiao Chen did not agree with his radical approach, but he felt the tragedy and helplessness in these arrangements, but the current development speed of the mainland seemed to be far slower than Asiros expected.
The Holy Maiden has guidance from He Jin in her hands, but the current level of development here is equivalent to the development of the earth in the late Middle Ages to the level before and after World War I, which is equivalent to taking thousands of years to walk the road on the earth for hundreds of years.
Something unexpected must have happened in between.
When the picture was dispersed, the golden points of light did not form a new picture, but gradually changed into a human form.
It was the appearance of a young woman, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and she looked quiet.
Xiao Chen knew that this was the Tower of Origin's Taling Luisa.
"Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I finally have a chance to communicate with you. Luisa said.
"You know my name?"
Luisa said: "Although the saint has not really awakened, but in fact, my consciousness has been awakened, I have heard the conversation between you and the leftover girl before, but I have no way to communicate with you."
The saints of this generation are very short-tempered, very resistant to my presence, and often threaten me with death. That's why I haven't been able to wake up for a long time. ”
"Then you already know my intention?" Xiao Chen asked, he was secretly on guard, if the other party made any abnormal moves, he was ready to use his spiritual power to fight back.
"Yes, I deliberately showed you the images you just saw. In this way, you will know what happened on this continent in the past, and what is the cause of all this.
Now I want to know, how do you feel after learning all this?" asked Luisa.
Xiao Chen said: "It is difficult for me to evaluate the rights and wrongs of His Excellency Asiros, what I have in front of me is the result of thousands of years of evolution. This is a fact that there is no way to change, and instead of evaluating the actions of the ancients, it is better to use your brains and how to do the things that follow.
One thing I can tell you for sure is our determination to fight the gods of nature. In addition, the development path of combining technology and magic is exactly what we are doing in the Eastern Continent now. So far, it seems like we're doing a little bit better than we are here. ”
"Eastern Continent?"
"Yes. We are from He Jin's hometown, and we came to this world unexpectedly for similar reasons. In the Eastern Continent, we've put a lot of effort into transforming it into what you see it to be. Xiao Chen passed a lot of pictures to Luisa in his consciousness, and this way of communication between souls, the speed of information transmission is much faster than that of dialogue. In a matter of moments, Luisa had quite a grasp of the territory of the Chinese Tower.
"This ...... Is it the result of your five years?"
"Yes. So I believe we can help the Western Continent and help you achieve your mission. ”
"Five years...... I have worked for thousands of years for a similar goal. Luisa, who barely showed emotion, was obviously a little depressed in her voice.
"What has happened in the past few thousand years that has made things progress so slowly?" Xiao Chen asked.
"The civil war, which lasted for more than five years, consumed all the mages and almost destroyed the entire country. When the mages fought against all odds, they inflicted terrible collateral damage, reduced the population by a third, turned large tracts of farmland into deserts, and many cities and villages into ruins. Technology has gone back hundreds of years.
The famine and plague that followed the Great War left nearly half of the remaining people dead. ”
"Why did so many people die after the war ended? Famine and pestilence, didn't Asiros solve these problems?"
"Because he took advantage of the end of the war to start destroying all magical items. He called this 'Operation Magic Sweep'. No magic circle, no magic item will be left behind. With an almost insane attitude, Assiros destroyed everything related to magic, and only the most valuable books and magic items were sealed inside the White Tower.
However, at that time, ordinary people hardly knew how to live, because in the city ruled by the magic tower, all aspects were related to magic, and every aspect of clothing, food, housing and transportation would involve magic. There is a lighting circle at night and a heating circle in winter. Many of the tools used for labor also have simple enchantments, which can greatly improve efficiency. Farmers will use magic fertilizers to grow food, and miners will use explosive tools to open mines. After the loss of these, the lives of most villages and towns were completely changed. Some villages and towns barely held on, while others were unsustainable and quickly disappeared.
Asiros remodeled my soul and put me into a baby body for the first time, and died half a year later. By the time I regained my memory, it had been fourteen years since I had fully awakened. Compared to the magic tower territory of other eras, I ruled like an indigenous tribe at that time.
At that time, four generations had passed since the Tower of Gen came here. I woke up as a saint and talked to the people who lived in the capital, who had become very ignorant and had no idea how to live better, and only worshipped me as a god. They no longer know how to read, they don't know what the world looks like, they don't know what the Seven Towers are, they don't know that there is a god of nature, and they don't know that there is a great power called magic in the world, which was once in the hands of their ancestors. The knowledge they know is some so-called legends and secrets, magic has become an evil thing, and it is the power of the devil to manipulate the world. Later, it was Marcelino who told me that in the ten years I had been growing up, their inquisition had spoken these things about magic to the inhabitants over and over again, and that even their own enforcers had been convinced. ”
"Then how did you guide them to start restoring civilization?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I followed the notes left by Asiros and began to lead them from the initial part. Let them start mastering words again, and then go to the most basic math and physics. But it's all too slow and too hard. After all, this world is different from yours, and there are still extraordinary powers. ”
"You mean vindictiveness?"
"Yes, for the Western Continent, where wild beasts were rampant and the natives often infested at that time, the only thing that did not lose its inheritance was probably the fighting spirit. With a fighting spirit, you can quickly become a hero and protector of a village or a town. No one really wants to study words and mathematics. ”
