Chapter Fifty-Six: The Process of the Demise of the Magic Empire

Si Nuo smiled: "Okay then, negotiate, tell me your requirements." ”

"I can tell you where the current territory of humanity is, and how to get there. As for my requests, first of all, an armistice. ”

For Lin Jue, the truce is the thing that needs to be the highest priority, and according to the current situation, they are more than lucky.

"And then?" asked Snow.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment, and then said, "Tell me the reason for the demise of the Magic Empire, and what the power of the curse is." ”

"Good. ”

It seemed that she had been standing for a long time, and perhaps the girl felt too tired from standing, so she sat down with her smooth legs crossed.

"Looks like you don't know anything about the Magic Empire, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”

Lin Jue hesitated for a moment and half-squatted down in front of her. Snow raised her head and looked at the sky, remembering what had happened a long time ago.

"More than 600 years ago, there was a powerful empire on the continent of Haber called the Magic Empire, which was a country founded by humans. ”

"This country is made up of five major human races that rule the entire continent of Habble. Dwarves, elves, cannibal tribes, and other races all bow down to the Empire, without exception. ”

"At that time, the Magic Empire was full of scenery, and the Magic Empire was naturally known for its magic. At its peak, the empire was registered with a total of ten archmages, seventy-four magisters, nearly a thousand archmages, and countless magicians of other levels. With such a large number of mage resources, the empire has an invincible army of mages. ”

"In addition to magicians, the empire also has powerful magic technology, and with these magic technology, the empire has equipped a large number of civilians who cannot do magic, forming a group of magic guide legions, which are used as city defense troops in various towns, as well as basic legions. ”

"An empire is not only a strong military force, but also a prosperous economy, strong productive forces, and a deep cultural heritage. The empire has never been affected by floods, droughts, storms, earthquakes, etc., so to speak, if this state continues, the empire can rule the world forever, maybe until the end of the world, right?"

"Since January 1, the first year of the Magic Calendar, the Magic Empire has ruled the entire Haber Continent for 685 years with its irresistible strength, but no one could have predicted that the Empire would die in the world when it was at its strongest. ”

"Do you know how ridiculous the reason for the demise is, the empire is not destroyed at the hands of aliens, but at the hands of humanity itself. ”

"At that time, there was a rebellion in the empire, and the rebels were a few very weak civilians who didn't know magic at all, of course, when they rebelled just now, almost no one cared about their actions, after all, it was just a few civilians making trouble, and the town authorities where they rebelled would not report such a small matter. ”

But no one thought that such a small thing would eventually turn into a big event. ”

"Yes, at the beginning, they were just a small fight, like robbers, who broke through one city and spread a set of fallacies, and then led a group of demagogic civilians to continue to attack the next city, and gradually, the power of this rebel army became stronger and stronger, from just a few people, to dozens, hundreds, and finally thousands, tens of thousands. ”

"They are no ordinary rebels, they have a wealth of knowledge of magic and are skilled in the use of all kinds of magic weapons, and it is with these weapons that the Empire's city defenses are constantly defeated. ”

"Of course, it was only the city defense army that was defeated, and they were all civilians. Eventually, the news reached my father's ears, who, in a fit of rage, sent a powerful army of magicians to annihilate the army in a single battle. ”

"After this incident, the empire began to have a suspicious attitude towards magic technology, and my father believed that the weapons produced by magic technology seriously affected the rule of the empire, so the whole country completely interrupted the research of magic technology, and almost destroyed all magic weapons. ”

At this time, almost all people felt that this incident should come to an end. But no one expected that it was precisely because of this incident that the beginning of the fall of the empire was provoked. ”

"Every year on January 1st, as the founding day of the Magic Empire, on that day, almost all the great magicians and above in the entire empire will gather in the royal capital to witness this annual national day ceremony, and January 1, 685 in the magic calendar, is no exception. ”

"As usual, countless magicians gathered in the royal capital, the entire royal capital was lit up and lively, all kinds of magic props were displayed in the street market, different kinds of monsters appeared in the royal capital accompanied by the magic beast tamer, and the famous alchemists put the magic potions they made this year in the auction house for sale, and it can be said that the entire royal capital was occupied by the magicians. ”

But no matter how many magicians came, they didn't notice how the king of this day was different from the previous years. ”

Just as my father was giving a speech for the National Day ceremony, when fireworks were released at the beginning of the ceremony, a huge curtain of light slowly rose from outside the city, surrounding the entire royal capital. At that time, no one knew what was happening, and it was only later that I learned that the fireworks at that time were the signal for a civilian rebellion. ”

"That light curtain was developed by a magic guide technology research team for three years, and it is known as the strongest magic guide weapon for magicians, called the magic element jammer. ”

"Under the interference of the jammer, all the magicians in the city, whether it was the great magician, the magician, or the only ten great magicians, they were horrified to find that they were completely unable to sense the magic elements between heaven and earth, let alone mobilize the magic elements in their bodies. All the magicians instantly turned into ordinary people who were powerless, and became lambs waiting to be slaughtered. ”

At this time, the rebels entered the city, and they used powerful magic weapons to carry out a bloody slaughter on a group of magicians who had become ordinary people, and the prosperous and beautiful royal capital was instantly turned into a flesh mill. ”

"That night, I watched my father die in battle, only two of the ten Great Magisters remained, only six Magisters remained, and the Great Magi only a hundred remained, and I, under their cover, escaped from the royal capital through the tunnels. ”

"Facts have proved that my father's decision is both right and wrong at the same time. Correct because he correctly judged the impact that magic technology might have on the Magic Empire, and wrongly made a decision that would lead to the Empire's inevitable demise. ”

"It wasn't until a few years after the empire had fallen that I began to figure out who it was who had destroyed it in the first place. ”

"At that time, there were four kings of the five major races of mankind, and together with my father, they were called the five kings of the empire and ruled the entire empire. It was these four feudal kings who took the lead in causing the rebellion, and these four feudal kings finally split the entire magic empire, and from that day on, the invincible magic empire completely disappeared. ”
