Chapter 139: The Power of Civilization
Maurice chanted a soft incantation, and with the wave of his wand, a behemoth suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Huh, what is this?" Everyone was amazed, only to see that the thing in front of them was dozens of meters high, shaped like a giant arrow, and seemed to be some kind of complex machinery.
"This thing is called an intercontinental missile, a product of the era of ancient technological civilization, and it can easily turn an enemy country thousands of miles away into a scorched earth......" Morris calmly introduced the horror of this ancient murder weapon in front of him.
"Oh my God! Isn't that comparable to the legendary forbidden magic? It's hard to imagine, this is actually a product of an era without magic!" Marven was dumbfounded, the power of this intercontinental missile was almost beyond the scope of his cognition, and what made him even more unimaginable was that such a powerful ancient weapon was completely made of ordinary materials without the slightest blessing of magic!
"Hehe, shock, in fact, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of civilization......" Morris waved his hand, and the huge intercontinental missile disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, everyone was in a huge arsenal again, and all kinds of spiritual fairy sword magic weapons exuded brilliance and trembled.
"These are the relics of the ancient civilization of cultivating immortals, in that era, people obtained all powerful abilities through the cultivation of all kinds of magical immortal arts, Taoism, they not only have superb spells but also have almost demonic beast-like bodies, they can do everything in the heavens and the earth, and the top immortal cultivators can even be ranked with the gods......"
After hearing this, everyone was stunned and amazed. Marven couldn't help but sigh: "The current civilization is really dwarfed by it! Even the demon warriors who have achieved cultivation are probably not comparable to these powerful immortal cultivators. ”
Morris waved his hand again, and those brilliant immortal magic weapons disappeared into the darkness again, but Marven was still unsatisfied, and hurriedly asked: "I understand, master, these are the specific manifestations of civilization, and only civilization can create such a huge destructive power, right?"
"Not really, young man, you are still too superficial, the power of civilization is much more than that. Morris still had a meaningful smile on his face.
"That'...... How powerful can civilization be, and can it destroy the world?" Marven felt his mouth dry for a while.
"Civilization does not only produce destruction, it also brings the power of creation, and the power of creation is greater than destruction!" Morris stared into the dark distance, his distant gaze as if through the vicissitudes of antiquity.
"The power of creation?" Marven chewed on the sentence, thoughtful.
"Yes, the power of creation and the power of civilization can turn obstacles into paths, deserts into fertile fields, people can live and work in peace and contentment, without worrying about food and clothing, and people of different races and beliefs can be like brothers and sisters and treat each other honestly......"
"It turns out that this is the real power of civilization......" Marven muttered to himself, his eyes were a little moist, this kind of power is exactly what countless people who have suffered so much are looking forward to and pursuing.
With a gentle wave of his wand, Maurice drew a door in the void, "Come on, come in and feel the power of creation......"
The portal of energy condensation was opened, and Morris led the group slowly inside.
......After walking in, Marven found that there were no powerful weapons or magic weapons in the space behind the door, only some far-reaching landscape paintings and exquisite sculptures...... There are so many of them, but they are just ordinary works of art.
"Master Morris, what's the use of these things? Is this what you call the power of creation?" Everyone was puzzled, in Marven's opinion, all it took was a fireball technique to burn all these flashy things to ashes.
Morris smiled but did not answer, opened a music box beside him, and suddenly, a simple and melodious music sounded, and the melodious tone hid a faint sadness, as if telling a beautiful and tragic past. Everyone was infected by the sound of this music and gradually immersed in it......
After the song, everyone was still immersed in it, and Morris opened another music box unhurriedly, and suddenly, an impassioned march resounded through the world, like thousands of troops fighting bloodily, and like the unyielding roar of an iron-blooded man.
Marven only listened with enthusiasm, as if he was once again in that tragic battlefield......
After finishing the song, everyone was full of emotion and couldn't let go for a long time, "I can't imagine that the music of ancient times still has such magic...... Marven stepped forward, gently stroked the two music boxes, and said thoughtfully: "Master, this kind of music belongs to the power of creation!"
Morris smiled and nodded, "Yes, they are also the products created by civilization, civilization can not only create magic and martial arts, but also create unparalleled art, don't underestimate art, it can cultivate people's sentiments, hone people's hearts, people with artistic taste, often can achieve greater achievements!"
Marven agreed, not to mention anything else, if he could listen to a few elegant classical music while meditating, maybe he could really trigger his inspiration and bring about a faster breakthrough.
"Master Morris, these two pieces are so good, can you give them to me?" Zhang Feng rushed over at some point and picked up the two music boxes.
"Zhang Feng, don't mess around! Hurry up and put it down, these are the ancient relics that the master has worked so hard to collect!" Marven hurriedly grabbed Zhang Feng and reprimanded him sharply.
After listening to Marven's reprimand, Zhang Feng had no choice but to pout, and reluctantly sent the two music boxes back to Morris.
"Oh, no, little one, if you really like it, take them back. Morris squatted down, smiled kindly, and returned the music box to Zhang Feng's hand.
"Little one, remember, these two songs are the famous songs of the Dark Horse Empire, "Song of Roland" and "March of the Black Cavalry", if you really like it, learn it well. ”
"Thank you, Master! I will definitely try to learn!" Zhang Feng was overjoyed and quickly took the two music boxes from Morris's hands.
"Master, this ......" accepted the other party's gift for no reason, and Marven felt a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, it's nothing, civilization needs to be inherited, and excellent civilization is even more so, "The Song of Roland" and "March of the Black Cavalry" have been lost for thousands of years, these two famous songs that have accompanied mankind to liberate the world, it's time to see the light of day again......" Morris's tired words revealed a hint of relief.
Marven had to ask Zhang Feng to thank Master Morris, Morris was relieved to see that these people were quite insightful, and took out two books that had been dusty for a long time from the bookshelf on the side, gently blew away the heavy dust on them, and solemnly put them on the table.
"Young man, you should now understand what true faith is, right?" asked Morris, sitting at his desk.
"Is it the belief and pursuit of civilization?" Marven frowned slightly, and said in confusion: "But master, what do you say have to do with our Xia people? As far as I know, civilization has almost nothing to do with our Xia people!" "The Xia people's civilization level is almost a recognized fact in the entire continent, even if he is as proud as Marven, he has to admit that whether it is the number of magicians or martial artists, and the level of cultivation, the Xia people are far inferior to other races, and it is precisely because of this that the Xia people will be enslaved for thousands of years.
Morris shook his head and sighed: "Civilization should indeed become the common faith of the whole world, and in this dark age we live in, civilization has declined dramatically, and faith has been completely distorted......"
"Xia people, do you know? For thousands of years, countless great civilizations on this continent have gradually died out with the passage of time...... Only the ancient Xia civilization has spanned several civilizations, integrated almost all the achievements of civilization in the world from ancient to present, and opened the most glorious era of mankind! It is almost comparable to the gods, oh no! It should be greater than the gods! In that great ancient era, people's eyes have long been no longer limited to this mere Middle-earth, but cast to the vast sea of stars......
Morris opened the two books on the table with his trembling hands, "More than a thousand years ago, His Royal Highness the Dark Horse King was baptized by the ancient Xia civilization by chance, in order to end this dark era and regain the dawn of civilization, His Royal Highness raised troops to fight in the north and south, and created an unprecedented Dark Horse Empire, and these two works are the results of his efforts to rebuild the civilized world." ”
"This is ...... "Code of the Dark Horse King" and "The Origin of Power"!" Marven took the two books from Morris's hands, and the quaint gilded characters made him recognize the titles at a glance.
Morris smiled and nodded, "The ancient Xia civilization advocated people-oriented and meritocracy, and it embraced and absorbed all the outstanding achievements of civilization, reaching the pinnacle of world civilization. In order to reproduce the glory of ancient civilization, after the Dark Horse King conquered Middle-earth, the freedom and equality of the people were guaranteed in the form of law, the religious wars were suspended for a time, people of different faiths began to learn to live in harmony, and the world civilization showed the dawn of revival......"
But in the end, he failed. Marvin lamented, "Our world today is still bad. ”
Morris let out another long sigh, "The Dark Horse King believes that truly powerful power does not depend on the gifts of those in power, but comes from the support of the people. Although His Royal Highness the Dark Horse King respects freedom of religious belief, he explicitly forbids the high-ranking personnel of the empire to believe in religion, and because of this, he will not be supported by the gods, and finally defeat the demon world......"
"Then why did he do this?" Hammond on the side was puzzled when he heard this, and couldn't help but interject: "If you can win the support of the gods, with the wisdom and martial arts of His Royal Highness the Dark Horse King, won't he be able to complete the battle and completely remove the threat of the demons?"
Morris smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If we do that, we mortals will completely lose our freedom and become vassals of the gods, the power of the gods is very strong, but the real power never comes from the gift of the superior, but the support of the people!" Morris solemnly opened the book "The Origin of Power" on the table
"It is better to serve the gods than to serve the people! His Royal Highness the Dark Horse King has a torch-like eye and extraordinary talent, and this "The Origin of Power" is his masterpiece of thought left to future generations, teaching future generations of kings to put the people first, but it is a pity that it is banned by major religions...... Hehe, how do these ignorant guys know that although the Demon Realm and the God Realm are incompatible, the relationship between them is extremely complicated, far from being as simple as we imagined......" Speaking of this, Morris's expression was extremely tired, and there were endless vicissitudes of life between his words, Marven faintly felt that behind the defeat of the Demon Realm by the Dark Horse King and the formation of the seal of the Demon Realm, I am afraid there are still many unknown secrets.
"Hehe, it's far away, it's all thousands of years old...... Marven, I have shown you so many things today, now, you should understand what your real pursuit should be, right?" Morris turned his head to look at Marven with a look of hope.
"I understand, master!" Marven nodded resolutely, picking up the "Code of the Dark Horse King" and "The Source of Power" on the table, "Only a great civilization can save this world from suffering and disasters, and from today onwards, I will become a believer and follower of civilization!"
