Chapter 12: The Era
According to the materials collected by the Arcane Council and the research conducted by historians, the history of the entire world of Eitleta can be roughly divided into four epochs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first epoch, which lasted for about two thousand years, was the age of the gods, in which the various races lived in simplicity on the earth, hunting wild beasts, dwelling in cave huts, having no calendar or etiquette, fearing in the face of natural disasters, and being pious before the gods, and in that time the gods ran to the earth as if they were on the waters.
The first epoch ended with a fierce war between the dragons and the gods, and as the Locks of Heaven summoned by the dragon gods at the cost of their lives sealed the entire world, the gods were driven out of the sky, and from then on they could never go to the lower realm, and the second era began.
The Second Age lasted for about 10,000 years, a time when the various superraces, whether elves, orcs, dwarves, or goblins, all built vast empires with their unique talents far beyond humans, and at that time, humans were slaves of other races, just like barbarians. By the way, Amis Ban is the name of the Elven Empire.
The Second Age ended with the rise of humanity, the legendary god of law (demigod) Anthony St. Pendragon led humans to steal the magic of the elves, and relied on bloodline fusion experiments to create knights who belonged to humans, and mankind reached its glory. Finally, humanity established the Augustan Empire on the Western Continent, symbolizing the end of the Second Age.
The third age lasted for almost 7,500 years, it was the age of iron and blood humans, the blood knights showed their strength, and instead of magic, became the main power of that era, with the iron hooves of the Augustan Empire continued to fight, the living environment of the various races continued to shrink and deteriorate, continuous wars, while declaring cruelty and conquest, but also planted the seeds of hatred. An elven princess, because of her unforgettable hatred, secretly sacrificed the elven world tree and summoned the demons of the abyss for this continent.
Demons are more cruel and evil than humans, they are keen on chaos and pursue death, in the Abyss War of the Third Age, the Augustan Empire was divided into East and West, all races suffered heavy losses, the already sparsely populated elven race even almost wiped out, after the Abyss War ended, the demons were driven back to the abyss, humans became the masters again, the magic council and the sect of the gods rose, competing for the hegemony of the world.
At the end of the Third Age, the Magical Council has been transformed into the Arcane Council, occupying the entire Western Continent, the Holy See of Light established the Kingdom of Holy Monarch Dante, occupying the Eastern Continent, the original Eastern Continent was occupied by the Eastern Augustan Empire, and renamed the Aurora Empire, and the Southern Continent was occupied by the sects of other gods, establishing many small countries, when the world returned to peace, it symbolized the beginning of the Fourth Age.
The Fourth Age, according to the present two thousand five hundred and three years, is the age of civilization.
――――
Although yesterday I jokingly planned not to give Safina food, but today after all, I am going to go out to "explore", although there is no danger in Bancheng, but Jack will definitely not let their highest combat power starve.
That's right, even if Tifa is counted, Safina is also the highest combat power of exploration, Jack didn't notice it at first, but Safina herself said it, and he knew that this innocent beautiful girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old was actually a seventh-level knight, with a higher level than his teacher, and was an absolute high-level professional.
He thought that he was only at the first level, and when he compared the seventh level of others, the little pride in his heart [I am the traverser, I am the most hanging] suddenly disappeared without a trace, and while taking his sisters to explore in Bancheng, he was ruthless in his heart to make a super electromagnetic cannon as soon as possible, so that these mortals could see what the Divine Cult of Science and Technology was.
It can be seen from the fact that Jack brought his two sisters with him, that the kid did not realize the seriousness of the expedition at all, rather, he said that he was going to accompany Safina on a treasure hunt, but it was more like accompanying her out on an outing.
The five of them wandered around the ruins of the huge city of Ban all day, but they saw no beasts except rabbits and wild cats, and as for the secret passage, not even Tifa, who was as meticulous as a hair, did not find it, let alone Jack and Safina.
"Ah, what a peaceful atmosphere~ Do you say, little bunny?" Jack grabbed the little rabbit in his arms - it was caught by Remy for fun.
At this time, it was just night, and after instructing Tifa to bring the two little girls back, Jack still accompanied the unwilling Safina leisurely around Ban City. After hearing his words, Safina glared at him, obviously very unhappy with his cool words.
"What? did you find it?" Jack was good at not opening the pot, and he deliberately talked about the treasure he couldn't find, just to tease Safina.
Seeing Safina's beautiful eyes glaring at her again, Jack was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but sweep the surrounding scenery.
It has to be said that Bancheng is worthy of being a tourist attraction in the city of ashes, under the light blue night sky, the light of the stars shines on the ruins and broken walls, and the starry fireflies fly among the vines, making this ancient ruin a little more dreamy. The only regret is that perhaps too few people can enjoy the night view of Bancheng, which is too quiet at night, and there is less hustle and bustle of the crowd.
As he walked, Jack, who was tired of seeing the beautiful scenery, began to speak again, "Safina, how is it, did your keen eyes find any clues?"
Safina, who was walking half a step ahead of Jack, nodded and said, "I found that if I sacrifice you here, we will find the treasure." ”
"Really?" Jack, who was about to argue with Safina, suddenly noticed something, and he immediately grabbed Safina who wanted to continue walking, and said, "Wait!"
They were located near the center of the Bancheng ruins, and there was a huge wall here, and they didn't care about it because the stone wall was too thin, and it didn't look like a place to hide a mechanism.
But at this time, Jack suddenly realized, where in the world can there be such a thin wall, and what is the use of building such a thin wall?
Sure enough, after asking Star to help measure and model it in his brain, Jack discovered that the stone wall wasn't as thin as it looked like him.
"It's a little bit wrong, it looks a bit like a trick. ”
"A kind of magic?" Safina didn't think anything was wrong with it, the stone walls were still so thin, so she asked suspiciously.
"No, no, I don't know what it is, I don't feel the fluctuation of magic...... Maybe it's not magic......" Jack, who was studying, suddenly felt Safina pull him, and he hurriedly followed Safina's gaze.
On the ruins beside them, ten dark shadows stood silently.
"That, Safina, the one you killed looked like an assassin and a thief, a guy dressed in black, didn't he look like this?"
"It's a pity, yes, Jack, they're exactly dressed like that dead man!"
