Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Third Age

The war continues, only this time with the Blood Mage and the Guardian of the Jungle.

However, Shen Yi had withdrawn from the battle.

The war has been fought so far, the situation has become more and more clear, under the joint efforts of the three major clans of King Kong, Lao Meng and Cliff, the heroes have entered the death one by one, the morale of the camp has declined, and the combat power has suffered a great setback, and there is basically no possibility of turning the tables.

In this case, Shen Yi was more interested in some of the information that Cliff was going to bring him.

Walking in the middle of the battlefield, casually dealing with some soldiers who came over, Shen Yi and Cliff seemed to be strolling in their own back garden, chatting casually while looking at the battlefield full of smoke.

"The Dane family has been in the city for 120 years now?" asked Shen Yi.

If you want to understand the city, you must first understand the family. After all, the Dane family's knowledge of the city comes largely from their history. Everything about the city of the Dane family is what countless family members have gradually collected and learned through battles and contacts.

If the urban information collected by Shen Yi is just a broken information puzzle, then the puzzle in the hands of the Dane family has actually formed a roughly complete outline after countless generations of efforts.

Perhaps the most important part is still missing, but the whole picture is visible.

"118 years, to be exact. At this moment, Cliff replied: "118 years ago, there was no city here, only death camps, but the primary force system has been established, but it is not as comprehensive as it is now. It was then that the Spaniard Alexis Dayne acquired his first bloodline, the Immortal Bird bloodline, from which he founded the Dane family. At that time, though, his purpose was not to pass on the family lineage, but to resurrect his dead son. He hoped that someone would walk into the Tower of Babel alive and fulfill his last wish, so he activated the inheritance power of the immortal bird, giving the power of the bloodline, memories and all his feelings to his successor, the second patriarch of the Dane family. ”

"So has his wish come true?" Shen Yi asked.

Cliff laughed: "Accepting the inheritance of the immortal bird's bloodline will also accept some strong emotions from the inheritor. Therefore, at the beginning, his inheritor tried to fulfill his last wish, but unfortunately, he did not make it to the end. So he passed on this power again, hoping that someone else would complete it. However, in the process of inheriting this power, Alexis Dayne's emotions gradually faded, and the power of the next generation could not control the ambitions of the inheritor, although the bloodline inheritance of the immortal bird continued, but no one cared about Alexis's last wish. ”

"In that case, the Dane family should have disappeared soon. ”

"It's true, when a legacy loses its purpose, it becomes meaningless. The inheritor, who no longer wants to resurrect Alexis's son, has no intention of continuing all this, but an incident has given the Dane family a reason to continue to reproduce. ”

Shen Yi raised his hand lightly and killed an eyeless soldier who rushed towards them: "I guess...... It's about the secrets of the city. ”

"Yes, have you heard of the Tertiary?" asked Cliff.

Tertiary?

Hearing this name, Shen Yi's body shook.

After entering the third difficulty, Shen Yi entered the wilderness twice, and he had searched for the existence of the Third Age, but unfortunately he did not find the stone tablet mentioned by the staff officer. In fact, the staff officer had never seen the stone tablet, and the news he got was just hearsay, but he didn't expect Shen Yi to hear this term again from Cliff's mouth at this moment.

Seeing Shen Yi's reaction, Cliff smiled, and the dark spear in his hand slashed slightly, which had already swept through the throat of a soldier, and picked it out casually: "It seems that you have heard this name." ”

"I've heard of a stele that records something about the Tertiary Period, and I went looking for it, but I couldn't find it. ”

"Even if you find it, it's useless. ”

"Why?"

"Because the stele has been destroyed. You won't get any more valuable information other than a few broken narratives. ”

Shen Yi's eyes contracted: "The ...... who destroyed the stone tablet Is it the Dane family?"

"Yes, but the Dain family destroyed the stele not to make the secret on the stele disappear, but to pass it on better. It is for this reason that the Dane family has the need to continue to exist. And for me, these former secrets are more valuable than everything else!"

"That's true!" Shen Yi also sighed.

Whether it is Shen Yi or Cliff, they are both people who like to use their brains to solve opponents. People who like to use their brains must have a common trait, that is, they attach importance to the collection of information.

The secrets of the city are undoubtedly the highest level of information in the world.

Skills can be bought, power can be strengthened, but the secrets of the city's existence cannot be bought with money.

It is because of this that the Dane family rediscovered the meaning of their inheritance, and their inheritance grew larger and stronger, and eventually became the top power in the city.

This kind of time-honored accumulation of information is far from being comparable to that of a "nouveau riche" like Shen Yi.

"Can you show me the inscription?"

With a flick of Cliff's wrist, a parchment roll appeared in his hand.

"My name is Isolt Belfort, and by the time you see this inscription, I will be dead. ”

"But I didn't die at the claws of the beasts of the wilderness, but in the war against the Juggernaut!"

"Yes, fight against the Juggernaut!Don't be surprised, because this is not the first time!"

"In the distant years, in the first and second epochs of the existence of this world, and even in the more distant Dark Ages, the world has never ceased to fight for freedom!"

"It is this battle after battle that makes the world change, the domination retreats into the background, and human beings gain greater power to survive, and even have this habitat for us to live...... Death camp. ”

"However, please don't settle for the Dominator's concession, it's just a choice that these alien beings from exotic planets are forced to choose!"

"They rule over us, they enslave us, they kill us, they pretend to be God, they claim to be God! Yet the truth is that they are nothing! This may be the world left by God, but they are nothing more than a bunch of uninvited robbers who think they can be the masters of the universe. But when we fight back, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, they will die, and they will even retreat and give in!"

"So, once again, we will raise the banner of resistance and challenge the Juggernaut!"

"We may die eventually, but our fight will not be meaningless!"

"The Third Age will eventually end, and a new era will come as a result of our battles, and those who come after will have a better chance of survival, whether they win or lose. ”

"I may not see that day anymore, but I want to bless you in Heaven......"

Next, there are some records of the battle, the names of some adventurers who died in battle, and some trivial deeds that he experienced.

At the end of the record, the pioneer adventurer named Isolt Belfort wrote these two sentences:

"I would like to use this monument to record the struggle of me and my comrades-in-arms, and record our bloody history. ”

"No matter what kind of world we live in, humanity's resistance to tyranny will never stop!"

――――――――――――――

Seeing this, Shen Yi let out a long breath.

He finally understood why in this world, adventurers were treated better and better.

Not because of the good intentions of the masters, but because of the resistance of the adventurers.

In fact, he should have understood that in the First Age, wasn't Xiaobo, who was recorded in the Death Note, also killed because he rebelled against the Lord?

And with his death, the Second Age began.

Now it seems that the Tertiary and even the Fourth and Fifth Ages are only related to this.

He looked at Cliff and whispered, "They are a real group of warriors!"

"That's true. Cliff replied in a casual voice, "It is their sacrifice that makes the Bloody City possible to exist in this world, and adventurers only need to carry out one mission per month. Less difficult quest worlds have also appeared, and people's chances of dying have been greatly reduced......"

It has been exactly 110 years since the real establishment of the city.

It took only one day to complete the construction, and it has been tinkering and perfecting since then.

It was a sea change, and the bloody and brutal wilderness finally had a real city for adventurers to survive.

And it was the great rebellion that Isolt Belfort recorded in his inscription.

"It turns out that this inscription is the true origin of the Dane family inheritance...... But now it seems that the successors of this family have long forgotten the legacy of their ancestors and have become degenerate, not only that, but even started some kind of purgatory sect!"

Cliff sighed leisurely: "There is no spirit and will that can truly endure." The bloodline of the immortal bird can pass on knowledge and strength, but it cannot inherit the indomitable fighting spirit. You're right, the Dane family may have been founded because of some great dream, but after being passed down from generation to generation, future generations forget their dreams and only think about the future, isn't it the inferiority of human beings? The spirit of politics, with the fighting spirit of dedicating oneself to freedom, but also has the characteristics of betrayal of dreams, self-depravity, human beings are great, they are small, they are kind, they are cruel, they are generous, they are also selfish, these countless qualities are concentrated in each of you and me, and they change according to the circumstances...... Whichever word is used to describe human beings, they are thin and pale. ”

Shen Yi smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a poet." ”

"It's just that the feeling and eloquence are okay. As the Dane family continues to grow, the family becomes more and more powerful. The adventurers are no longer thinking about rebelling against the rule of the Lord, but about how to gain more power, more men, and better treatment in this limited environment. The Purgatory Sect was born because of this, and if you want to use nonsense to coax some idiots to work for yourself, how can you do it without better eloquence?"

"You call a believer an idiot, so you're not a member of the Sect of Purgatory?"

Cliff smiled slightly, "On the contrary, I am the evangelist of the Purgatory Sect, and I am the highest rank!"

"Hell, then you still talk about your sect in such a tone?"

"It's because I'm a big man in the sect that I don't believe it. Cliff smiled: "Believing in this kind of thing, it is always only the bottom who deceives, and the priests at the top will never really believe in anyone, because it will not help them to deceive others." Think of the Christian priests who engage in child prostitution, when they put their dick in the chrysanthemums of those boys, did they ever believe in God? When they built luxurious halls with the contributions of believers and let themselves enjoy a good life, did they ever believe in God? When they violated the doctrine again and again and did all kinds of shameful things, where was God? No, they knew that there was no God, so they dared to cheat everything in the name of God. ”

"That's true. Shen Yi also smiled: "In fact, even if they really believe in the existence of God, there are many false believers. ”

Shen Yi remembered that before he came to the bloody city, he once wandered in a novel forum, and at that time he met a relatively well-known author, who kept saying that people will have souls after death.

Those who did not believe in the existence of souls argued with him, and the writer became anxious and said, "If you do not believe, sell me your soul." ”

So a large group of people agreed, saying that they could sell their souls to him for only a hundred dollars, and they could sign an agreement.

As a result, the author woke up afterwards and knew that he was confused, so he immediately changed his mind and canceled the deal. As a result, he was chased and scolded by a large group of people.

At the time, there was a debate about whether the deal should be counted, but Shen Yi thought of another thing, that is, the author himself may not really believe his nonsense.

If not, why would he cancel the agreement?

Shen Yi thought to himself that if he really believed that there was a soul after death, then it would be too cost-effective to spend a hundred yuan to buy a person's soul and drive it into service.

It's a pity that except for a few fanatical believers, most of the believers, none of them would do such a thing.

It can be seen that many people are hypocrites themselves, but they may not understand it themselves.

As for Cliff, he is but the most brilliant hypocrite of them all, because he only deceives others, not himself.

On the topic of religion, he did not want to continue, until it was another thing that aroused his interest.

"You say that the Fourth Age already has a city, so how did the Fifth Age come out? Or is it a revolt of the adventurers?"

"That's the question...... It's complicated, and to be honest, there are many things that I don't know. ”

"Tell me what you know. ”
