Chapter 8: A Brief History of the Continent

"Uh-huh!-wow-lah!" a wild man burst into Wurna's tent, screaming and screaming. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"What, ran away?" said Wu Erna, who got up from the bed and cursed, "You savages have quite big heads, are they full of paste!"

The door of a slave crate on the edge of the camp was open, and the prisoners in the crate were long gone.

"Just let them get away with these little crumbs. Woolna said viciously, but she knew she had more important things to do.

After walking a few steps, she came to another tent. On the carpet of the tent lay a man half bloodied and badly wounded, and next to him was a coffee-colored forest dog that, like its owner, had not eaten for a whole day.

I can't imagine that the red-level bounty hunter has missed these two little hairy boys, and he has been injured so badly, could it be that sword... Wurna pondered, the sword was associated with the Battle of Iron Rock and was associated with the Battle of Iron Rock (an extremely dangerous force for wizards, but the most tempting for evil wizards) according to the half-parchment scroll she found. However, she quickly denied this idea, because Wu Erna had seen this sword, it was like a seed stuck in a quagmire, and it was extremely difficult to fish it out again, so this possibility was not as good as the man in the trench coat fell and became like this, and it was more convincing to come.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Wow!" The coffee dog stood up, wagging its tail and wagging its tail in motion in excitement - its owner had been asleep all day, and now he was finally awake!

......

Early in the morning, New Brigade Town, Lame Dog Inn.

"Knock! knock!"

"Please come in!" Evan lay on the bed, looking at the foggy window a little distracted. The door cracked open, and a woman walked in with a snack.

A night's rest. Alex had gone out early in the morning, and now Evan was alone in the room.

I didn't expect that uncle Hu was really good, not only paid for the room, but also gave us snacks to eat. Evan took the plate and began to gobble it up.

"Hehe, eat slowly. The woman took a stool and sat down.

"Are you the hostess. Evan puffed out his cheeks, as if he were speaking under the sea.

"Hmm. The proprietress nodded with a smile, "Where are you from, I guess you're from the edge of the continent with this accent." ”

"You're amazing, I'm from Sun Town, a small town on the edge of the east of the continent, and as for the girl who came with us, her hometown is in Iron Rock City. ”

"Iron Rock City?" the proprietress was a little surprised, "It's been a long time since I've had a guest from the central part of the country, and I heard that Silver Shield City is just west of Iron Rock City, so I really want to go and see it if I have the chance." ”

"I also want to see Silver Shield City, but unfortunately I don't know if I can get to such a far place, I have only seen the exterior illustrations of Silver Shield City on the Bard's Codex. Ai Wen pinched the milky toast in his hand, this proprietress is really good, "If I can bring back a souvenir from Silver Shield City, I will be content." ”

"I heard that there are seven other holy envoys there, I don't know what they look like, have you seen them?" Evan asked again.

"How could people from a small place like ours have a chance to meet them, but I heard that the Seven Holy Envoys, including the Guardian, are all women. The proprietress said mysteriously.

"Could it be that the Guardian was chosen from among the seven Holy Messengers?"

"I don't know, but rumor has it that the Guardian is the one who has been chosen by the Book of Prophecy, and is unique to Tansforg. ”

"The One and Only Guardianβ€”" Evan licked the bread crumbs around his mouth, "I know that every era there will be a Aegis Guardian to keep the peace on the continent, and her power has long been recognized by the major powers, and she is the great hero of Tansfog. ”

"That's right. The proprietress took a deep breath and fell to her knees reverently at the mention of the Shield Guardian, then crossed her hands over her chest. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, as if she had finished a pilgrimage. It seems that the prestige of the Guardians of the Aegis has taken root in the hearts of the people.

"Can you tell me about some of the heroic deeds of the Guardians?" Evan had been curious about his hero since he was a child, but there weren't many books in the town to get more information about the Guardians. In short, Evan's current state is one of curiosity, and he is curious about the world outside the town.

The proprietress began to look a little distracted, and she seemed to recall the legend that had been circulating for a long time that frightened her: "I remember that it was at the end of the First Age, that Thorox, known as the Emperor of War, actually tore up the peace treaty, led his troops out of the city from Serdia in the north, and captured Thanatos in the southeast in just two days, and captured Noze below Thanatos in half a month, and after spreading countless wars and resentments, he even wanted to capture the Iron Rock City in the middle!"

The proprietress began to tremble a little, and her eyes looked much larger than before, which was an unconcealable excitement: "Later, the first guardian arrived in time to Iron Rock City, inserted the holy shield into the central square, and created a large barrier to hold on for 36 days. ”

"Is this the infamous Battle of the Black Swamp next?" Evan swallowed as he sat up from his bed, and he didn't know how many times he had heard the rest of the story from the bards of the tavern and the travelers of the past. The story has been told for thousands of years, used by adults to scare the crying children at night and politicians to warn the militants with malicious intentions, but the political strife caused by it has not subsided for thousands of years.

"Ahh

Evan took the book and turned to the title page, the author's name was Ireland Doe Quill, a bachelor from Silver Shield City. In this brief history, Evan finds the relevant chapter that describes The Battle of the Black Swamp:

β€œ... On the 6th day, with the help and acquiescence of the scholars of Silver Shield City, Iron Rock City used the strength of the whole city to create a black spear about 3 meters long in 30 days at the cost of consuming two-thirds of the ore inventory..."

β€œ... On the 37th day of the last day of the Guardian Day, the original Aegis Guardian Altinis Moon Shadow canceled the barrier and climbed the highest watchtower by the eastern city wall with a black spear, and threw the black spear into the starry sky at the cost of infusing his own soul..."

"Black spear...", Aven gasped involuntarily as he read this.

β€œ... The black spear went straight into the sky, pierced through the sky, and went straight down like a bamboo, nailing the great sinner Thorox to death in the camp 10,000 meters away..."

"Grave sinner...", Evan couldn't wait to turn the next page.

β€œ... With the Black Spear as the center, all living beings within a few kilometers of it were shattered into powder by its shockwave, and none of them were spared. This incident directly caused the direct death of 50,000 soldiers of Serdia, and the remaining soldiers lost their fighting spirit, or disarmed and surrendered, or fled in all directions, occupying the mountain as the king, and the whole army was defeated and quickly defeated..."

β€œ... After that, the Black Spear was recovered by Silver Shield City and destroyed in the Immortal Mountain..."

β€œ... The Serdia dynasty was not built, but it has been in decline ever since. The flesh and blood of the 50,000 soldiers settled on the battlefield, forming a huge black swamp southeast of Iron Rock City in the future..."

β€œ... At the same time, the sacrifice of the original Aegis Guardian, Altinis Moonshadow, heralded the end of the First Age. Until the second guardian of the shield, Eurynome Shield, took over, and the Second Age of the continent began..."

"Is this the last page? Ai Wen closed this brief history of the continent heavily, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time. He was both shocked by the star-piercing power of the Guardian, and at the same time moved at the cruelty of war. But he thought about it carefully, if it were not for the sacrifices of the defenders of the past generations, how could there be this hard-won era of peace among the nations.
