Chapter 170: Finding the Truth in History
ps: I'm very grateful for the recommendation of the great god of wilderness for helping me, as a newcomer, this is something that was once unimaginable. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoToday's update, three changes at noon, and one change in the afternoon. I also threw out all the baggage, I hope you like it.
Aya left, she just took the time to come over, and she couldn't delay too long. Mu En looked from the windowsill and watched the black-robed figure disappear little by little, feeling a kind of lost nostalgia.
At this time, the confusion of not knowing whether he was drunk or drunk has passed, he really doesn't know whether what he did before is right or wrong, but now that he has taken advantage of it, and the matter has been picked up, if he wants to say that he doesn't admit it, cough cough, he can't do it.
You can only take one step at a time!
After cleaning up a little mood, Mu En looked at the large pile of book scrolls left by Aya on the table, and his expression became serious.
In the past month or so, in addition to completing various potion making tasks, Aya spent all her time in the library of the wizarding tower, and after rummaging through a lot of books, she found the article she had read, and looked through countless materials, and came to a result, although it can only be regarded as no definite inferences and hypotheses, but it frightened her.
The information books on the table were cluttered, with old yellowed scrolls, thick books, rubbed murals, and some unknown anecdotal biographies.
However, Aya had already made the marks and determined the order of reading, and Mu En picked up the first burnt yellow scroll, spread it out on the table, and carefully read it from the beginning.
The most important thing about the historical inheritance of a world is not word of mouth, then one day there will be a fault, no matter how great the person, how legendary and grand the war, in people's memory can only be passed on for three generations at most, a hundred years later, no one can remember the glory of the past!
Only when words appear and are recorded on books, walls, rocks, and wooden boards can they be passed down for thousands of years and admired by future generations.
The writing of this world appeared very early, and the recorded history is even longer, and when you go back to 100,000 years ago, you can find scattered descriptions in the murals in various ruins, carvings on the rocks, and even in the piles of old papers, and from these materials, people today can see from these eternal histories what the world was like at that time!
The first scroll that Mu En picked up, describing the age of 100,000 years ago, all kinds of pictures and strange words, Mu En did not know anything, but fortunately there was a translation written in Tungusic below, and he roughly understood the contents of the scroll.
In the era of 100,000 years ago, when Warcraft ruled the world, the top level was the Ten Warcraft Emperors, who existed and ruled the entire continent for countless years.
In the accounts of historians, it is called the prehistoric era, the era of antiquity, and so on.
This is the end of the scroll, Mu En shook his head and wondered, is Aya popularizing the history of this world to herself?
Although Mu En agrees with the phrase 'learn from history', he really doesn't know what shocking secrets are here.
Putting down the scroll, Mu En raised his hand and picked up the second document, a large and old book, which seemed to be some kind of wooden board made of pages, very heavy and thick, but in fact there were not many pages, he directly skimmed the text that he couldn't understand at all, and read the Tungusic translation below.
This is the era after the prehistoric era, which can be called the ancient era, or the first era, the era of Warcraft, etc., which tells the story of ancient humans and Warcraft fighting for the dominance of the continent, and in the battle for generations, the ten Warcraft emperors were defeated one by one, and even expelled and eliminated.
The book focuses on the incredible abilities of ancient human beings, such as flying to the sky, moving mountains and seas, turning their hands into clouds, turning their hands into rain, controlling earth, fire, feng shui, and even traveling in planes, etc., which were as easy for them as eating and drinking at that time.
Even now, the power of the transcendent level, at that time, there was no need to cultivate at all, and children of three or four years old could have it, and it was also their innate instinct.
The last sentence of the book concludes, it was an era when everyone was like a dragon!
Mu En could feel that the exaggerated descriptions in the book were so exaggerated that the translator did not believe them, and of course, the ancient text was also missing, many of which were speculation and mixed with personal imagination.
But now it is recognized by professionals that the origin of professionals is the pursuit of originating from the depths of the body's bloodline, and the power of ancient humans is also an indisputable fact.
Munn's elective course was 'History of the Augustan Dynasty', and although he didn't know much about the previous era, he did know a little, and although the content of the books at this time still puzzled him, it really attracted him.
Mu En frowned, picked up the third volume again, and read it quickly.
After the defeat of Warcraft and the ancient human rule on the entire continent, a unified and prosperous huge country appeared, which is the span of the wilderness to civilization, but the human race did not stop its own pace and began to move beyond the plane.
Interdimensional warfare, dimensional colonization, semi-colonization, etc. were the themes of that era, and human footsteps were found and enslaved across many planes, including Batow's Hell, the bottomless abyss, the celestial realm, the wilderness land, etc.
At that time, like the spatial rifts in the scorched earth wasteland, they were not a place for defense at all, but an excellent passage for invasion for ancient humans.
It was at that stage that various intelligent beings such as orcs, dwarves, elves, dragons, and so on, as objects of enslavement, began to enter the Atlanta continent.
Of course, this is naturally not recognized by other races, who all advertise themselves as natives of this continent, and this is a matter of legitimacy, and no race wants to say that they are outsiders, no matter how much evidence there is.
In this part of the data, it is clearly recorded that the human beings of this era are no longer as powerful as the ancient humans of the real first era, they need to cultivate, they need to use all kinds of materials, although with the help of the resources and manpower gathered by countless conquered worlds, they have created a more glorious era, but overall, they are not as powerful as the ancient humans.
The sun never sets, and the time spans to the end of the Second Age, which is in decline in the grand plane wars, and the entire empire collapses at an unimaginable rate, and enters the Ancient Age, that is, the Third Age, the period of divine rule.
The gods represent a kind of dimensional law, and can be regarded as repairers who maintain the proper functioning of the plane. They build a vast network that envelops the entire plane, the network of beliefs, and rule the world in this way.
At that time, in the Atlanta continent, human beings were no longer the only protagonists, hundreds of races bloomed, and appeared on the stage of history, coupled with the competition for faith between gods, the whole plane was quite chaotic, and the contradictions between gods and gods, churches and churches, kingdoms and city-states, nobles and commoners, etc., led to frequent battles to unimaginable levels.
It was a time of chaos and order.
Then, it must be said that during that period, the power of humanity, including that of other races, was further atrophiing. Only the truly strong can travel between planes, and most of the human beings are already very ordinary, so ordinary that they can only survive with the help of faith and the protection of the gods.
Then, the fourth volume is also over!
The night was already very deep, Mu En rubbed his eyes, emptied his brain, he vaguely grasped something, vague but extremely important, without hesitation, he picked up the fifth volume, that is, the ancient era, the fourth age, the era of wizard rule.
The rule of the gods ends with the collapse of the magical network of beliefs that pervades the entire plane of their dependence, for reasons unknown but as a result of the weakening of the once powerful priests and holy knights.
It is conceivable that the people who originally lived in the clouds suddenly became weak chickens who were not as good as ordinary people, and social contradictions were not suppressed by power, what does that mean? !
The chaos and carnage that gripped the continent came as expected......
And wizards rose in this chaotic era, and their predecessors were spellcasters who could borrow the power of the network and exchange spiritual power for spells. But when the faith network collapsed, mages below the legendary level lost the ability to cast spells, and even mages above the legendary level lost their power significantly.
However, this group of people holds the knowledge.
There are some mages who rely on their knowledge of the world and their knowledge of the elements to find out how to use spells without the need for a network of beliefs. Successive research, determination to succeed if it doesn't work, and personal experiments by legendary wizards and above, until a mage named 'Antonio' found a way.
Use knowledge to understand the rules of the world, and use spiritual power to pry the power of the elements directly along the laws, and use this to generate spells.
As a result, new spellcasters were born who did not need to use the Internet, and in order to distinguish themselves from the previous ones, they called themselves wizards.
During the reign of wizards, regardless of race, regardless of origin, as long as they have a strong talent, can learn spells, and become a wizard, they are the ruling class, people on the people. A territory, a city, all power, all glory to the wizard, this is the characteristic of that era.
Even based on the hundreds of millions of intelligent beings in the entire continent, there are still not many people who can become wizards, and the reason is that the talents required for wizard cultivation are almost perverted. Most of the intelligent beings outside of this are slaves, and they can only survive in the realm ruled by wizards, and they may accidentally die in a natural disaster during a wizarding experiment.
Yes, wizards have the side of scientists, crazy and persistent, sacrificing the creatures of a city for a spell, polluting an area for a data, etc., it really happened not once or twice.
In that era, only by becoming a wizard would you become the protagonist of the era. Until one day, a new catastrophe arises - the magic power of the wizards begins to weaken, and the power of the professions represented by Augustus the Great rises.
In the sixth volume, Mu En quickly picked it up and read it almost at a glance.
As a student of the History of the Augustan Dynasty, Muen directly skipped the process of the history of this era, and instead focused on a certain conclusion.
The power of a professional does not require the natural talent of a wizard, it is almost a system that breaks the boundaries of ordinary people, and the entry level of cultivators is very low, which also guarantees the number of professionals.
But after all, there are only a few professionals who can really reach the transcendent level, and only the transcendent can awaken the power of the elements to control.
Nowadays, even if all races, including the existing wizards, are added together, the strong people who can master the power of the elements are pitiful and pitiful compared to the wizard era.
Mu En seemed to understand Aya's intentions, as if he had found a line in the messy history, and an idea that was about to come out was almost a kick in the door. He grabbed the last book and fixed his eyes on the page, the title of the book written in Tunguska.
The work of an unknown scholar - "The Hypothesis of the Rise and Fall of the Devil's Tide" (to be continued. )
