"Nightmare? a thousand years of dominance...... Called a nightmare?" These words came from the mouth of Patriarch Vic, and looking into his cloudy eyes, Bell couldn't believe it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The power of the monument is unfathomable," Dalí said to himself, "and through the continuous research and experimentation of the people, they have found that if they infuse their blood into this monument, they can gain very great power from it. ”

"This power is...... Yuan Li?"

"Yuan Force?" Dalí shook his head and said, "No, in fact, the Vic people have never learned to release their Yuan Force, because with that kind of power, there is no need for Yuan Force at all. It is endless, unstoppable, and even if it is used on a newborn baby, the body will undergo tremendous changes, and if it is cultivated strictly, it can even be invulnerable. Therefore, the Vic people can stand tall in the steppe, in fact, it is not a matter of effort, all we need to do is to continue to reproduce. ”

It turns out that the fundamental reason for the Vic to maintain their status is this mysterious monument, which is just ...... How can lazy people be so at ease, cheat for a while, enjoy a thousand years, and now worry that the comfortable days will not continue, these old faces of these people are wrapped in crocodile skin, right?

"However, no matter how indestructible things in the world are, they cannot resist the ultimate killer of time. About two hundred years ago, the power bestowed on us by this monument had begun to slowly weaken, so much so that later generations had to perform at least four or five ceremonies to receive the power of the monument in their lifetime. Fortunately, the Bik people have a long reputation for a long time, and even if they are not as powerful as before, they can get along with the surrounding tribes and the royal families of the past dynasties. ”

"It's like a wolf and a sheep separated by glass, and the wolf keeps hitting the glass in order to capture the sheep, and after a long time, even if the glass takes away the wolf, the wolf will not rush to attack. ”

"That's also a matter of time, young man. The wolf had plenty of time to forget the pain, and as long as he kept thinking about the sheep, it would try anyway no matter how long it took. When I was young, Rodway V sent someone to negotiate, and although a new agreement was signed with us, they should have a new understanding of the strength of the Vics!"

Bell thought for a moment and asked, "If the Vics are so powerful, why didn't they declare their independence from the beginning, like an autonomous state or even a kingdom?" As far as I know, the kingdom of Scania is only more than two hundred years old. ”

"Young people are really motivated!" Dali snorted, "I can only tell you that even in the heyday of the Vicks, we were far from being able to stand on our own. In terms of the strength we are good at, that monument is only effective for the Bik people, you must know that at that time, Lord Gondla, there were only more than 20 people with the blood of the Bik tribe!"

"Strange, according to your description, Lord Gondra suddenly became stronger, that is to say, there is a high probability that the monument at that time was obtained by his luck, and it was not refined by his own strength, in this case, why is the monument only effective for the Bak people?

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but Lord Gondra died very suddenly, and the records left behind are quite scarce, so there is really no trace, and at that time, the people only said that it was a gift from the gods, and future generations should follow its laws. Because of this restriction, we can only cling to different countries in an ever-changing pattern, but the agreements signed are much the same, they are all exchanging minerals from the steppe for other resources, and the affairs of the clan must be handled by themselves, and the kingdom's army cannot interfere. ”

I see, with such an agreement, it is no wonder that Hatu can only seek the help of the Knight Association, because the kingdom army cannot intervene in the changes of the Bik, but only ...... Bell seems to have vaguely captured the crux of the matter.

"Lord Gondra was not an arrogant dictator, after he unified the steppes, he completely accepted the rest of the tribes, and even promised to marry the foreigners," Dalí continued, "so the Beak steppes have been divided into Beeks and foreigners since then, and since the monument is ineffective for the foreigners, the Beeks are responsible for accepting the power of the monument and defending the steppes, while the foreigners deal with other affairs, and over time, the Beeks only' Learned the skills of fighting, but those foreigners inherited the ancient culture and customs. ”

It's a complete reversal of the cart, listening to Dalí's story, Bell thinks that the Vic is really to blame for what happened to the Vics now.

Dali seemed to see what Bell was thinking, and he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Ironic, isn't it? Two hundred years ago, when the power of the Monument began to weaken, we tried everything we could to try to repair it, but because we didn't know anything about its origin, we couldn't find a way to refine it anyway, and no one even saw that kind of black spar. As the days passed, we found that not only was the power gradually weakening, but what was even more terrifying was that the people had become inseparable from the Xuan Monument. Prolonged dependence has quietly altered the constitution of the clansmen, and if they are unable to receive that kind of strength on a regular basis, their bodies will develop bone-crushing pain. You see me so short, don't you look like a Vic?" Dali abruptly changed the subject.

"With all due respect, that's what I thought!" said Bell.

Dali took out a portrait of a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, strong and strong, and at a glance he knew that he was a strong man galloping across the prairie. "This is what I was like when I was younger. He said.

"This ...... This...... It's not so much that it doesn't ......" Bell was completely unable to connect the two men.

"Hehe, that's because I found a way to remove the power of the Monument!"

"What?" Bell was taken aback, "what kind of monster is the power in the stele?"

"Gosan also knows this," said Dali calmly, "and he is not a Beek, but after marrying my daughter, he gave birth to a girl, who is Hatu's sister." However, my daughter suddenly lost the power of the monument during childbirth, and after giving birth to a baby girl in severe pain, she ...... He died. He closed his eyes, apparently the memory was a great pain for him.

"The girl was as beautiful and kind as her mother, and since she did not possess pure Beak blood, she did not need to accept the power of the Monument, and she had a strong interest in the ancient culture of the clan since she was a child, but because of this, she stumbled upon a shocking secret. ”

"A shocking secret?"

"Once she ran alone to play in the cave where the monument was, and when Gosan and I found her, she pointed to the bottom of the monument and kept saying something, and we took a closer look at the dirt and found that there was a very scribbled ancient script of the Bik people, although it was a little vague, but those who knew the ancient script could still make out one or two. ”

"And that girl happens to know what's written on it?"

"Yes, the Bik people have never found that there are ancient characters engraved at the bottom of the monument, and the sentence translates as: The monument is the incarnation of the devil, please tell future generations not to use its power, if you have no choice, you must be liberated according to this method after the crisis is resolved, and below this passage is the way to get rid of this power, and the author of these words," Dali took a deep breath, "It is my ancestor, Bikgundra!"
