Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Secret Behind the Legend and the New Legend
Until he arrived at the gate of Thorn Leaf Village, Quinn's expression was like the sky of the Demon Realm that had not changed for thousands of years, shrouded in dark clouds that could not be dissolved.
His encouragement to the demons does not mean that he has fully identified with the different demon tribe of Andrarui, but the experience of Wow Claw reminds him of his comrades who died to protect their homeland in that era of steel and blood. From this point of view alone, the cowardly demon was not much different from his former comrades, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the peaceful and beautiful life of their people.
The only one who disturbed Quinn in the whole Andrari was André Gesarez.
According to the description of the cowardly demon, this son of the abyss is like the demon in his memory, and he has a decisive side to kill. Although the other party is his enemy, just the reason to appease others can show the disregard for other lives in his heart. However, the young Children of the Abyss also have traits that the old ranger has never heard of in other demon leaders, and unlike the Abyss Lords who ruthlessly treated their subordinates as consumables hundreds of years ago, he is willing to fight for the life of a cowardly demon.
But these only reflect part of the temperament of the child of the abyss, who calls himself Andre, and what really worries the old ranger is that the son of the abyss, who was born less than half a year ago, has the wisdom inherited from an unknown source! If the ability to lead a group of demons is only the instinct in the blood of a child of the abyss, then making pottery, sewing wounds, and even all kinds of delicacies of different styles can only be described as being born to know.
Based on Quinn's understanding of the demons through decades of war, there are few demon leaders who have such wisdom, and the most famous is the demon lord who was respected as the king of all nations at that time, the one who single-handedly opened the door to Garlandia in the demon world.
Although the demon who once led hundreds of Abyss Lords and Children of the Abyss has long since died, no one can say whether this Abyss Son named Andre will be the next Demon King to lead the demons to attack Garlandia. After all, it's too amazing to be born to know this kind of thing, and the first elves, like the demons, were given life through the will of the world. Many beings in this world who are born directly from the power of the world are born proficient in their native language, but an example of Andre who possesses such insight and wisdom without learning is unheard of in his life. Who knows how much unknown knowledge he knows, how much unheard wisdom he has mastered!?
The old ranger felt that he could no longer speculate on this unfathomable son of the abyss with his own knowledge, and at this time, it was probably possible to come to a more accurate conclusion only by gathering the wisdom of all the elders in the village.
......
"Through Alex's description, it is already possible to roughly determine that the 'cabbage tree' that André sang that night is very similar to the dragon language, and it is not certain whether it belongs to the original dragon language or some other variant......
A child of the abyss who can speak dragons, Quinn already feels that his brain can no longer be messed up. As the guardians of Garandia, the dragon and the demon clan had a bitter grudge against each other during that war.
The dragons, as the first civilized species of Garlandia, were the ones who spread the spark of wisdom and language throughout the world. As the oldest language in the world, the primordial dragon language has almost unlimited spiritual magic! All the gods and ancient elemental beings in the known world are proficient in using dragon language or some variants.
"Where did he inherit the knowledge of the dragon language?It is impossible for a great being like the Abyss Will who has not embodied an incarnation to teach him such profound knowledge alone!" "All the elders who know the Demon Race know that although the Demon Race worships the Abyss Will itself, this great being of the Demon Realm has never even issued a specific oracle. Compared to Garlandia, the goddess who is active in her homeland, the Abyssal Will is more like an unspeakable force in a state of chaos.
"You don't know any of the secrets of that brutal war, but I can tell you now that there were at least two demon leaders who knew dragon language. "Marcellion suddenly revealed a piece of information that everyone did not expect. Perhaps, as he said, there are some secrets hidden in the details of the war, and the druids will choose to reveal them to everyone at this time, and all the elders believe that he must have his own ideas.
"They are the 'King of Nations' and the 'Lord of the Dragons'. ”
All the elders in the meeting were in an uproar, you must know that these two were the supreme leader of the demon clan and the strongest combat power of the demon army in that war!!
"You might have guessed that...... The two of them had been in the same class as Princess Roseanne more than 600 years ago and had been taught under the Primordial Dragon. As for why things turned out to be the way they did, Her Royal Highness the princess did not fully understand the reason until the end of the war. ”
"Do you remember when the Dragon Master suddenly disappeared at a turning point in the war!" Marcellion continued to spout shocking news.
"When the coalition decided to fight the demon army head-on, I thought the leaders were crazy......"
"It was the 'Initial Dragon' who personally intervened, and even then the great being seems to have suffered a lot of damage. ”
Once hailed by the demons as the world's strongest dragon master, the dragon father Aknuma, the son of the storm, was severely wounded and defeated in the ambush he set for him, and the rebels of Garandia were desperate to believe that there was no one to stop the invincible demon leader. Even for a period of time, all the dragons from afar found that this extreme force would flee from the wind, not because the dragons were cowardly, but because it turned out that ordinary dragons had little resistance under his hands. Rather than being slaughtered senselessly, it is better to save your life and survive until the next day, when you can use it as a trump card to raid demon soldiers on other battlefields!
After all, it was a legendary figure who could defeat the Dragon Father and the four original dragons and kill three of them with the strength of his own power!
"That's ......!"
The truth of the matter is not too surprising, after all, only the real "gods" can defeat mythical characters. Although the Primordial Dragon is praised by the world as the embodiment of spreading wisdom and civilization, after all, it is the master of the Demon Dragon and the teacher of countless legendary figures, but fortunately, the Lord is unexpectedly an existence that is unmatched in wisdom and force. Otherwise, the outcome of that war hundreds of years ago would probably have been very different.
Everyone only felt that their fears seemed to come too late, and Quinn remembered that he had witnessed the Juggernaut turn nearly a thousand mortal troops into charred bones with the flick of his fingers. At that time, as a scout, the old ranger who escaped in the forest still remembers the tragic situation of that day!
No one survived under the flames! The demon soldiers didn't even bother to come forward to clean up the battlefield and left in a hurry. The soldiers at the forefront of the battle formation turned into a cloud of flying ash directly under the touch of the elves...... Even at the very end of the line, the soldiers who died tragically only had their backs to the Dominant and some unburned parts, proving that these "demons" from purgatory were once living flesh and blood!
"You mean that this Andre may even become a Juggernaut in the future!?" Quinn broke out in a cold sweat at his assumptions.
"No, the bloodline of the Demon Dragon Domination is far more powerful than the Children of the Abyss in terms of strength alone. And it was because of the teachings of the Primordial Dragon that he was able to achieve that in the end. What I actually want to say is that even the two supreme leaders of the demon clan back then, their strength was not for nothing. As for the existence you call 'born to know' like Andrei, even I have never heard of it. ”
"If it's not that they're playing tricks, it's that the young prince of the abyss, whose very existence is beyond our previous experience. ”
"Could he be the reincarnation of one of the two Demon Lords!? I heard that the King of All Nations was able to rule those hundreds of Demon Lords by relying on his own wisdom and the support of the Demon Dragon Lord!"
"This is even more impossible!Lord Huangquan personally led the soul of the King of All Nations to the underworld, she had promised that the Primordial Dragon would treat this former demon leader in strict accordance with the laws of life in Vientiane, and it would never be possible to let the soul with memories be directly reincarnated and reborn!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Marcellion said that neither Garlandia nor the life of the demon world could escape the reincarnation law of the underworld, but the souls of life and death would return to the underworld or turn into nothingness. Even if you are a noble dragon in your lifetime, you must follow the laws of all things when you are reincarnated and get rid of the entanglement of memory and cause and effect in your previous life. And everyone who knows anything about the underworld knows that unlike the Abyss Lord of the Demon Realm, there is only one "Yellow Spring Lord" in the entire infinite and vast Underworld, and she has another more well-known title - the Grim Reaper!
"But that doesn't make sense! How could the Lord of Yellow Springs, who always follows the laws of eternity, allow a soul with memories to be reincarnated as a child of the Abyss? Could it be that Andre does not belong to these three realms? Not at all under the jurisdiction of Lord Yellow Springs!?"
"No matter how much we guess, we can't change the current reality, if it's not that cowardly demon lying, then we have witnessed the original legend of the Children of the Abyss, who is even more mysterious than the demon leader hundreds of years ago. In an attempt to lighten the mood of the village's leaders, the old druid made a somewhat unseemly joke, "In any case, the knowledge and wisdom he has almost never been seen, but for now, at least the wisdom he has is full of positive significance for all civilizations." Instead of thinking about it here, let's further understand Andrarui and make plans. ”
On the edge of Andrari's camp, André, who was trying to tease the young coyote with food, probably could not have imagined that in the elven village on the other side of the Shattered Empty Mountain, someone had already revealed his true origin in an irresponsible complaint—that the soul of the children of the abyss really originated outside of the world they knew.
PS: The "legend" in the text is the literal meaning of Chinese, specifically referring to people who have special experiences and are praised by the world, not the power realm in DND. A leader like Genghis Khan, whose strength is no different from that of mortals, but who can overturn an entire continent, should also be called a legend within legends.
