Verse 433: The Trench
In the golden cavern, a huge figure lay lazily in it, its tail sweeping from side to side for a while.
In front of the huge figure was a thick pile of golden sand, on which Norman was now sitting. In contrast to the huge golden sand bed, his figure looks extraordinarily small, like a small insect, which is probably why the dragons always like to call humans bugs.
“...... The pronunciation of this language is very different from the dragon language, but it seems to be the language of the sea tribe. ”
The dragon in front of Norman blinked and said.
Norman nodded and said, "Exactly." Does Big Brother know that there is a sect in Augustus called the Church of Liberty?"
The dragon lying on his stomach in front of Norman was none other than Chen Qinghe.
Chen Qinghe blinked again and said, "I've heard of it." ”
Norman said: "I suspect that the Church of the Free God may have something to do with the Sea Clan, who speak the same ancient language as the Sea Clan, and are all languages except for the northern ones. When I was in Cárdenas, my teacher was a member of the Church of Free God, and he taught all of these languages. ”
Chen Qinghe realized, "I see." And what is the meaning of this language?"
Norman explained solemnly: "The original meaning of the Yan is covered, and here it is extended to all, the Yan family, that is, the whole family, the shovel is a tool used to cut off the head, so the meaning of this sentence is to hope that the other party's whole family will die......"
He is exchanging the mystery of national scolding with Chen Qinghe.
Chen Qinghe's dragon is also peculiar, and he is not very interested in spells, which is probably why his strength is not outstanding, but he is very interested in some things on the sidelines, and he is still idle and has nothing to do, so he asked Norman to teach him the skills of swearing.
However, Norman has little interest in this, and it is purely to cater to Chen Qinghe that he is so dedicated to teaching swearing. After teaching Chen Qinghe a few more swear words and usage, he turned the topic to his concern in a timely manner.
"Big brother, when do you think this court meeting will end?"
When he asked this question, Norman's eyes couldn't help but be a little anxious.
It's not to blame him for not hiding his emotions, it's really too exaggerated - it's been a full month since they returned to Lin'an, but Ji Ruoxi's throne has not yet been determined, and his position as Situ is even more far away!
The whole meeting is similar to the first meeting a month ago, where the process of the agenda was originally and where it is still now, there has been basically no progress!
The efficiency of the dragons really opened Norman's eyes, and this should be closely related to the lifespan of the dragons: for humans, a month is a long time, but for dragons with a long lifespan, a month is a short time. Therefore, for them, it is not a big deal that the meeting has not made progress after a month, but Norman is different, although he says that he is a descendant of the dragon clan, but in essence, he is still used to the time scale of human beings, and he has not made any progress for a month, which is really a bit tormenting for him, so it is no wonder that he can't hide his emotions.
Chen Qinghe was still pondering the few dirty words he had just learned in his mind, and after hearing Norman's words, he glanced at Norman and comforted: "Virtuous brother doesn't need to be anxious, the new emperor's accession to the throne is related to the general situation of the dragon clan, and it is normal to discuss it for a long time, but in the opinion of the brother, the position of the virtuous brother should be careless, just wait patiently." ”
Norman couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Wait? How long will it take to wait for a Situ position to drag on so endlessly, if he really wants to become the lord of the dragon clan step by step, with this kind of urine nature of the dragon clan, how long will he have to wait?
What's more, the number of people in his live broadcast room has dropped for the first time, which is one of the reasons why Norman is anxious.
Starting with Cárdenas, the number of people in the Norman live broadcast room has always been steadily rising, and it reached its peak by the time of the Emerald War, surpassing 1 million online viewers for the first time!
When I first arrived in Lin'an, it was okay, especially when I ascended to the Temple of Heaven under the Hundred Dragons Arch Guard, that spectacular scene made the number of people break through 1 million again, but then the popularity never broke 1 million again.
Although the appearance of the dragon clan is very curious, and it is very interesting at first glance, but people like the new and hate the old, and after seeing too much, it will be like that. Especially the dragon clan's court meeting is extremely boring, every day is there to argue, there is no substance, Norman himself wants to doze off every day when he looks at it, not to mention those viewers in the live broadcast room, so for the first time in his live broadcast room, the number of people has declined. In recent days, the decline in the number of people has been even more serious, from the previous stable situation of about 800,000 to hovering around 700,000.
The popularity of 700,000 is okay for Norman's current mental power condition, and his mental power can still be honed to the maximum extent every day, and the growth is good, but it can't go on like this for a long time. Maybe in another month, or even half a month, the number of people in his live broadcast room may not be able to keep up with his mental power needs.
So Norman urgently needs to change the current situation, after all, Sowell is in the dark, even if it is to protect himself, he must allow himself to increase his strength to the maximum, but he can't tolerate a little slack.
Probably seeing Norman's hidden eyes and feeling his anxiousness, Chen Qinghe said again: "Besides, there has been progress at today's court meeting, and I believe it won't take long for everything to settle." ”
Norman was stunned: "Progress?"
He recalled the content of the court meeting in the past two days, but did not find the progress that Chen Qinghe said.
Chen Qinghe explained: "Didn't you discuss the post of Tai Lieutenant today? This is the progress. ”
As soon as he said this, Norman remembered.
That was Fang Xiangru mentioned first, saying that if anyone could make the dragon clan return to the mainland, the position of Taiwei would be his, and Shen Junzhu also agreed, but it was all nonsense.
Through many contacts with Chen Qinghe in the past month, Norman has become more and more aware of all aspects of the Northland Realm, and also knows the full reason why the Dragon Clan has always been trapped in the Northland Realm.
It all starts with the world he lives in.
Norman once thought that there was nothing in the sky, and after he learned to fly, he was even more convinced of this, there was indeed nothing above the sky, just endless space, if you kept flying up, flying to the end of the sky, maybe you could touch the sun?
But Chen Qinghe told him that he couldn't, because the extremely high altitude was full of spatial turbulence, no matter how deep your mana and how strong your physical body was, you would be lost in the infinite space after entering, and you would never be able to find a trace again.
According to Chen Qinghe's statement, even if you fly up from the Temple of Heaven, you have to fly for half a day, and this extremely high altitude is called "Heavenly Moat" by the Dragon Clan, which means a place that cannot be passed.
The scale of the Sky Wall is even more magnificent than Norman originally thought - it not only exists at the Sky Pass, but also spans the entire continent, and it is extremely high, and the top of it directly borders the moat!
What Norman saw at the beginning of Chongxiao Pass was not an illusion, this wall of heaven is indeed up, left, and right with no end in sight, such a miracle, it is really impossible to imagine how it was created back then, and you can also think of how prosperous the magical culture of that distant era was.
The structure of the wall of the sky was originally sealed off all roads, and the continental alliance army back then did not intend to leave a way for the demons to counterattack, but 1,800 years ago, the appearance of the Holy Son Tanggula brought changes to all this.
At that time, human beings were still under the enslavement of the dragon clan, and Tang Gula's creation of the Father God Cult opened the prelude to the rise of human beings, but in the early days of the rise, the forces on the continent or the dragon clan occupied an absolute advantage, and the human resistance led by Tanggula was unable to accommodate it in the mainland, so they chose the weakest place of the dragon clan's power, somewhere on the edge of the continent as their base, that is, the White Mountain, where the Holy See is now located, but the wall of the sky was still intact at that time, until the appearance of the Holy Spirit Velun.
By the time of the Holy Spirit Velon, after two hundred years of development under the leadership of the Father's Religion, the overall strength of the human race has grown rapidly, and the dragon clan has finally begun to pay attention to the threat of the human race, and has carried out many attacks on Baishan, and finally launched a general attack of the elite, which is bound to annihilate this resistance force in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, the strength of the human race is no longer what it used to be, especially the strength of the Holy Spirit Velun himself is unparalleled, so the elite of the dragon clan not only failed to exterminate this human force, but suffered heavy casualties, and the strength comparison between the two races began to reverse。 And it was also in the fierce battles for the defense of the White Mountain, under the ravages of the terrifying forces of the Holy Spirit Velun and the elites of the Dragon Clan one after another, a gap finally appeared in the White Mountain section of the Wall of the Sky, and the Dragon Clan was driven into the Northland Realm from here, which is the only passage between the Northland Realm and the mainland, and it is also the reason why the Dragons must enter the continent from here.
Norman also asked, can't you pass through the underground? Chen Qinghe's answer is still no.
Although there is no moat underground, but with the deepening of the excavation, the further down, the harder the geology becomes, and in the end it is even as unbreakable as the wall of the sky! The excavation of such geology is as high as the difficulty of directly breaking through the wall of the sky, and in the stratum there, the wall of the sky is deep into the ground, and it still exists, and it is obvious that the builders of the year are not fools, and they will not think of the trick of digging the ground.
When Norman heard Chen Qinghe talk about these things, he also had a whimsical idea and asked: "Isn't it possible to go up and down, and it is not possible to go left and right?" Since the wall that connects the sky is not natural but built the day after tomorrow, then there will always be an end to the left and right, right?"
Of course, the dragon clan who wanted to return to the mainland did not think of this, and the left and right sides of the wall of the sky did have an end, but the left and right ends of the wall of the sky were already on the sea.
Legend has it that the mainland is a blessed land of the gods, blessed by divine power, so the moat is only available at extremely high altitudes, but not on the sea.
Without the protection of divine power, the moat spread wantonly and connected to the sea, so although there is no wall to the sky on the sea, there is no way to bypass the mainland from the sea. The only way is to go down from the deep sea, but there are sea tribes in the sea, and those guys are not easy to deal with.
The Sea Clan is already strong, and it is like a fish in water in the deep sea, which makes the Dragon Clan extremely jealous, and if a full-scale war breaks out with them in the deep sea, the Dragon Clan is not sure of victory, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses before it can return to the mainland.
It's not that the dragon clan hasn't thought about negotiating with the sea clan and returning to the mainland through the deep sea, but the language barrier between the two sides is a big difficulty. During this period, the dragon clan really had great perseverance, and taught himself a sea language, wanting to communicate with the sea clan through the deep sea to help the dragon clan return to the mainland, but it was difficult to really do it, and the biggest difficulty was the distrust between the two sides: the sea clan could not trust the dragon clan was really just returning to the mainland through the deep sea, who knew if the dragon clan was a fake way to kill them? The dragon clan could not trust the sea clan, who knew if these sea clans would take the opportunity to besiege them when their strength in the deep sea was greatly reduced. And then go ashore to seize the last piece of dragon territory in the Northlands?
The things involved in this are in danger of extinction at every turn, even the principalities of the same kingdom cannot trust each other, let alone these two alien races who have never had any communication?
The wall of the sky, the moat, and the sea clan, these three difficulties are intertwined, completely isolating the dragon clan in the realm of the northland, and Chongxiao Pass has also become the most reliable way for the dragon clan to return to the mainland.
If you want to return to the mainland, you must break through the Chongxiao Pass, but the Chongxiao Pass is not so easy to break through, especially when Baishan is taking precautions on a large scale, and the dragon clan is in internal chaos and even the emperor has not been able to settle down, it will be even more difficult to break through the Chongxiao Pass.
If you want to break through the Chongxiao Pass, you must first be able to unify and stabilize the dragon clan and concentrate the strength of the whole clan, it is possible, but Fang Xiangru's statement is the opposite, you must first break through the Chongxiao Pass, and the dragon clan can be unified and stabilized, which completely forms a self-paradox, and it is no wonder that Norman thinks it is nonsense.
"Is that progress?"
But Chen Qinghe has a different understanding.
"Of course, although this proposal has no practical significance, this is the first time in a month that the two sides have a clear agreement on the position of lieutenant, which is a clear signal. Brother Xian grew up in the human illusion since he was a child, and he doesn't know much about our dragon clan, but in fact, for our dragon clan, this is a lot of progress. ”
Norman couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
He really didn't understand the procrastination of the dragon clan, and he never thought that this kind of nonsense with no practical meaning could be regarded as a lot of progress, and he didn't expect that it would take a month to have such a "progress" - how long would it take to really put everything in place? How long would it take for Chen Qinghe to say that "it doesn't take long"?
I'm afraid there are waiting.
These dragons really rely on their long lives, and they don't treat time as time, and their efficiency is pitiful, so it's no wonder that the Father God Sect was able to attract their attention after two hundred years of development.
Norman's sentence "Is this progress?" not only attracted Chen Qinghe's explanation, but also attracted Lancelot's barrage, and what Norman didn't expect was that Lancelot actually thought that this was indeed progress, and his attitude was much more radical than Chen Qinghe's dragon clan.
"It's certainly progress, very big progress. ”
Lancelot's next words were even more unexpected by Norman, leaving him scratching his head.
"This is a great opportunity for you, if everything goes well, you don't have to be a Situ anymore, and you will be promoted to the rank of lieutenant directly! ”
