After solving the minor troubles of Keaneling, the next few days were peaceful, and there was nothing to worry about. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At least not for Sui Xiong.

In this way, the Northwest Republic also ushered in the celebration of the 20th anniversary, and by the way, it was also the day when the 4th World First Martial Arts Conference was held.

Originally, according to the rules, the world's first martial arts competition should have been held last year. However, the high-level leaders of the Northwest Republic discussed it and felt that it was always a bit of a waste of manpower and material resources to hold a martial arts competition in the first year and a National Day ceremony in the second year, so they simply adjusted it and put the two activities in the same year.

In this way, the timing is more reasonable and the personnel arrangement is more appropriate.

The world's first martial arts competition is in the summer, and the National Day ceremony is in the winter, and the two major events need several months to plan and arrange, and it just so happens that this year has all passed.

"In the twentieth year of the Republican calendar, the fourth session of the world's first martial arts competition was held. Although the contestants were not as amazing as the first one, they were not as withered as the second one, and they roughly maintained the level of the third session. It can be expected that unless something happens that causes drastic changes in the group of masters below the legend of the main plane, the number one martial arts tournament in the world will roughly maintain this level in the future. Perhaps we can sort out the changes in the master group of the main plane through this competition held every ten years......"

A young historian sits in his study and writes these words on the same specially made magical vellum with special magic ink.

This historian is also an outlier among his peers, just look at the way he uses chronology.

On the main plane, historians mainly use the method of "chronicle of events" to chronicle the year, and the specific method is to take twelve years as a "chronicle", each "era" lists one of the most important major events in the genre of prophetic epics, and the rest is to distinguish around this major event.

For example, the period when the Northwest Republic was founded can be recorded as the "Epoch of the Rise of the Snow Country", and then it can be specifically divided into "the Epoch of the Rise of the Snowy Country" to the "Twelfth year of the Rise of the Snowburrow".

This practice comes from the time of the Old Elven Empire, when the elven sages used this method to keep their dates. Later, although the Elven Empire fell, this method of chronology has been passed down by historians.

Although many people think this approach is a bit of a two-pronged approach, historians think it is a good and appropriate approach to the point.

After all, in this world, the difficulty of "archaeology" is far less than that of Earth. Historians don't need to painstakingly compare astronomical phenomena or records with prophetic spells to know when something happened.

As long as the record is correct, the prophecy spell will tell you exactly when it happened. The more accurate and detailed the recording, the clearer and more convenient the time positioning, and there will be no confusion at all.

As for those special situations where prophecy spells do not get results, they are generally used by powerful legendary mages or even god-level powerhouses to cover up those things in the long river of history. It's a bit of a death suspicion to try to study it - it's like when you know that something is sensitive, but you have to go to investigate, and end up in prison, that's ...... Die for the truth.

This method of dating has been used for many years. It wasn't until the founding of the Northwest Republic that some scholars from the Church of the God of Knowledge came up with a new method of dating.

They suggested that the long history should be divided into several large paragraphs with some major events in history that "opened a new chapter in history" as nodes, and how many years should be specifically distinguished in each paragraph, so that although the number will be relatively large, it is far friendlier to ordinary people than the cumbersome "major events".

The Archean calendar is a certain year, the elven calendar is a certain year, the orc calendar is a certain year, the pioneering calendar is a certain year, and the republican calendar is a certain year. The new chronology divides the history of civilization into these five stages, corresponding to the era before the prosperity of ancient civilizations, the era between the rise and decline of elven civilization, the era between the rise of orc civilization and the great development of mankind, the era between the great development of mankind and the establishment of the republic, and the era after the establishment of the republic.

This is just like dividing the history of human civilization into primitive society, slave society, feudal society and modern society on the earth, which is simple and clear, so that the reader can first have an intuitive impression and roughly determine which stage of the general history of civilization he sees this history.

This may not be necessary for historians, but it is necessary for ordinary people.

In the past years, because education was not popular, most ordinary people did not even know the words, let alone worry about any chronology or history. However, the goal of the Northwest Republic is to eliminate illiteracy and read for all, so the historiography has responded to the call and begun to innovate.

As the so-called autumn breeze does not move the cicada, the more well-informed people are, the more they can feel the changes of history and the pulse of the times, so as to make the right choice in advance.

...... Of course, like a certain divination on the earth who said "Ahhhh

When he had finished writing a note, the young historian put down his pen, blew lightly on the paper, carefully placed it on a cork platform designed for drying, arranged the pen and ink, and then moved his neck and shoulders and stood up.

Looking down from the window on the second floor, you can see that in the autumn colors, many people are busy preparing for the National Day ceremony.

Held every 10 years, the North-Western Republic celebrates its National Day, which is almost the most important celebration in the country, the most grand and grand, and a must-see event for tourists from all over the world.

At the festival, there will be endless wonderful performances, endless wines, and endless delicacies.

Just for that celebration, the people of the Northwest Republic, especially the people of Void City, needed to prepare for three to four months.

Is it worth it to spend three or four months preparing, just for a celebration?

The young historian shook his head, sighed, and laughed again.

"Well, it's worth it. ”

He said so to himself.

At this time, the monster skin paper on the wooden platform had already dried, he took out a sturdy box, pinched out a small handful of gem powder from it that was more delicate than flour, sprinkled it evenly on the monster skin paper, and then recited the incantation.

With a wonderful spell, the runes of magic floated above the beast skin paper, slowly falling and merging with it.

At first, the two sides were distinct, and there was a feeling that oil and water were not compatible. But as the magic continued, this feeling gradually diminished, and finally the two sides finally merged perfectly, like mixing alcohol and water, becoming one and the other.

The historian, who already had sweat on his forehead, stopped and ended the spell casting.

And the original gray-white Warcraft skin paper has turned pale gold at this moment, and the original black-green handwriting on it has a silver-white light.

He picked it up with great care, took a book connected by a number of loose pages from the nearby shelf, opened it, and placed it on the last page.

This is the most important job of historians, to record history.

To do this, they need to dedicate their lives to vow not to seek fame and fortune, not to leave children and grandchildren, but to pass on their ideals from generation to generation. In exchange for the ability to create such fantastic pages that are virtually indestructible.

On that shelf, there were a few other books, which were the result of the life's work of his teacher, and his teacher's teacher, the historians of their faction.

And this room is the sacred place of the historians, their temple, their altar, the place where they prayed and fought.

The young historian finished his work for the day, put away all his tools, and walked out of the room exhausted.

He felt very tired and needed to go out for a walk, then eat a big meal and get a good rest.

Walking down the street full of tourists and staff, he couldn't help but smile as he watched the increasingly lively scenery.

After a while, he came to the square. A bard, who paints his face in oil paint, is dressed in colorful clothes, playing the shamisen, and singing a jovial tune.

Next to the bard, many tourists listened with interest. At the end of the song, instead of taking off his hat and begging for a reward, the bard conjured up a lot of green jellyfish gummies out of nowhere and distributed them to the children around him.

The children ran around happily as they ate candy, and the adults thanked them and followed.

"It's a good day. The historian came up to him, smiled, and said, "But it's surprising that you would do such a thing." ”

"What's so surprising about that?" said the elect of the god of literature and art, smiling, "and I am not a bard, and it is not only natural that I go out into the streets and bring joy to the people when I have nothing to do?"

"Just as you, as the god of knowledge and culture, are chosen in the field of 'scholars', you are either busy teaching or documenting history all day long. ”

The elect of the god of literature and art, known to the world as the great writer, operaist, musician, and bard, who is known to the world as "Thuvarier von Stolovsky Franz", and by the way, who is also the leader of the literary and artistic circles of the North-Western Republic, took out the flask with a smile and handed it to the other party.

The chosen people of the god of knowledge and culture, from the Hart family, who have revered and favored the god of scholars for hundreds of years, Owen Hart, who was ready to inherit the title of earl, smiled and took the flask.

"To be honest, I don't like spirits. He said, but without hesitation, he opened the lid, craned his neck and took a big sip.

Immediately, his face turned red, as if a flame was burning.

"How can a man not drink hard liquor!" said Shug laughing, "you are an adult at all, don't be like your mother-in-law when you first came here." ”

"Age doesn't mean anything to you or me. Owen said, "Just as the strength of this wine doesn't really mean anything to you and me. I just don't like the taste of this wine. ”

Voters have immortal bodies and are immune to many anomalies, one of which is "drunkenness".

If necessary, both of them can drink the strongest wine in the world as cold water, and even if they drink too much, they will be overwhelmed at best, and it is absolutely impossible to get drunk.

So Owen never understood why Shug liked to drink?

But that doesn't stop their friendship.

"Speaking of which...... You haven't been to the big celebration yet, have you?" Shug took the flask from Owen, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, the colorful paint suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even the colorful clothes on his body turned into a simple robe, very similar to Owen dressed by the scholar next to him.

This is their usual attire, and as for the fancy dress, it is just his costume when he performs on the street.

"yes, I haven't attended, so I'm looking forward to it. Owen said, "After this celebration, I will record it in detail and make a golden scroll for it." ”

“...... As for it, making a whole volume of gold is not an easy job for you now. ”

"But I think it's necessary that historians have always paid too much attention to the recording of those 'big events', but they don't take people's lives and all aspects of society seriously. Or, in their opinion, the joys and sorrows of the common people are completely unworthy of mention. Owen said solemnly, "That's not right! No matter how great a person is, he comes out of ordinary people." No matter how big things are, they are accumulated and developed from small things. As a historian, I want to record the joys, sorrows, and sorrows that are worthy of being remembered by ordinary people, as well as the causes and consequences of those major events that affect the world. ”

"It's hard. Xiuge himself took a sip of wine and said, "I'm afraid you'll spend your whole life on this." ”

"What's so bad about that? find something worth doing your life, and then spend your life doing it well. This kind of life couldn't be more perfect. ”

Xiuge nodded: "That's right, being able to spend your life on something worth doing and doing it well, such a life can be said to be perfect and enviable!"

"What about you?" Owen asked.

Xiuge smiled: "I'm not as serious as you, and I'm not as serious as you. All I have to do is be a good bard, bringing laughter and joy to people, spreading those wonderful ideas, interesting stories, and beautiful music. ”

"That's good, too. ”

"Of course, I am also a voter no matter how I say it, and if I don't do it well, it will not be an insult to Your Majesty's eyes!"

"It's not early, I'm a little hungry, go get a meal?"

"Okay, you're in for a treat. ”

“...... Great writer, you are richer than me. ”

"You're a nobleman, the nobleman doesn't invite guests, is it reasonable to let me, a commoner, treat you?"

The two drifted away and slowly walked into a nearby restaurant.

The square is full of people who are amazed and laughing. (To be continued.) )
