Chapter 15: The Rise and Fall of Empires
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. www.biquge.info In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 red envelope crazy flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock ang~
"Sigh," Suya replied softly, "that's its name......"
"Sigh frost ......" Qiao Se touched the cold sword body slightly, remembering the frost that Su Ya's fighting spirit condensed on the sword body that day. The cold and arrogant master, with this name...... It's also quite a bit of a gloomy taste.
Su Ya paused before saying, "As for its origin, I don't know much. According to my grandfather, it was forged by an elven master a hundred years ago, and it was integrated with the elven secret method, so it also has blessing magic and enchantment attributes."
"Enchanted weapon?" José was a little surprised, "No wonder I was able to cut off that big scorpion's claws so easily the last time I fought him, it turned out to be because of its enchantment properties......"
"It's not all," Su Ya looked at the blade of the famous "Sigh Frost" with some emotion, "It doesn't have any magic like sharpness, but it is made of special material and extremely sharp." My teacher had studied the sword with several alchemist-savvy elders of the Imperial Magic Guild, but none of them had ever heard of the metal. ”
"I see," Jose looked down for a moment and asked with a smile, "Then this enchanted weapon should be very rare, right?"
"That's right," Su Ya smiled slightly, "almost all metals are repelled by magic, and it is almost impossible to enchant them with metal, except for special metals like Mithril and the magic core of the magic beast and the magic crystal, which have the property of fusing magic. And the price of Mithril is so high, even if it is as generous as that of a magician, it is not easy to get......"
After Suya explained, José learned about the rarity of this enchanted weapon. Although there is no shortage of great magicians on the continent who are proficient in alchemy and can forge some small enchanted weapons such as daggers, the number of "enchanted weapons" in the true sense of the word is still extremely rare.
Because mages have been immersed in magical research for many years, and most of them have weak physiques, their melee attack ability is not even comparable to that of a sturdy ordinary person. If a warrior uses an enchanted weapon, it will have a great advantage in melee attacks against mages.
Enchanted weapons are very difficult to craft, and they do a lot of damage to mages, so it is rare for mages to forge in general. In the past thousands of years on the mainland, almost all the casting methods of enchanted weapons have been lost, but some tribes such as dwarves and elves will occasionally flow into the outside world one or two, but most of them are also magic weapons that have been passed down for many years.
"And enchanted weapons are not like pure magic items like magic staffs," Su Ya explained, "It requires not only the skillful forging process of the maker, but also a great test for the alchemist in charge of enchantment." The most common method of enchantment is to use miniature magic arrays, often referred to as magic patterns, as a medium, relying on magic cores or magic crystals to provide magic power. ”
"But this 'sigh frost' of yours, apart from these strange runes, doesn't seem to have the magic core and magic crystal you said?"
"No power can appear in a vacuum...... And the forging method of Sigh Frost is a rare permanent enchantment, and its magic power actually comes from the manipulator itself," Su Ya explained.
"Whether it's a magic core or a magic crystal, the mana that can be provided is limited, and once the mana is exhausted, it has to be replaced with a new one, but unlike the sigh frost, it can 'store' mana, as long as my mental power continues, I can meditate, inject excess mana into it and store it, so that I can have more mana to support me to play more magic in battle. ”
José roughly understood if he compared a magic wand or magic weapon to an electric wand...... No, if it's a stun stick, that is, an electric baton, the magic core and magic crystal are similar to the function of "dry batteries", and they are consumables.
And Sigh Frost is more like a 100,000-volt super electric baton charged with alternating current! As long as Su Ya "charges" it, it can store its own magic power, and it can easily amplify its moves.
Joseph figured this out, and his eyes lit up, and it was indeed a good thing: not only was the sword itself extremely sharp, sharpened like clay, but it was also a super powerful open-hanging magic staff!
Just imagine, if it is a duel between two magicians, one party can only use its own magic power to perform magic, and after the limited magic power is exhausted, it can only be slaughtered by others. On the other hand, the other party can use the magic power stored after meditation on weekdays as a "reserve force", which is equivalent to increasing their own strength several times or even dozens of times!
Moreover, the sharpness of "Sighing Frost" is even more incomparable, such an enchanted weapon is definitely a nightmare for all magicians in the continent. Su Ya, who has cultivated both magic and martial arts, coupled with such a sharp enchanted weapon, is simply the perfect equipment for fighting monsters!
At this time, Qiao Se seemed to think of something, he looked at Su Ya who was still dressed in armor, the girl's pale face was flushed with a hint of blush from running, and she looked sassy with a little moving delicateness.
"Maybe it's a little presumptuous," Joseph said as if very casually, "But you also make me curious, a girl with the strong strength of demonic and martial arts, an extraordinary equipment, and a calm bearing...... No matter how you look at it, you don't look like an ordinary military man. ”
He looked at Su Ya's beautiful face, but his expression was rare and solemn: "Su Ya, can you tell me, you...... Who the hell is it?"
Su Ya didn't change much when she heard Jose ask, but a little loss flashed in the girl's clear eyes, "Jose, I'm sorry, I did hide something from you." ”
When Joseph heard this, he was not surprised, but smiled and said, "I guess your identity must be very difficult, and you must be from some prominent family." ”
Such an outstanding girl is too dazzling no matter where she is. And Su Ya is always "the honor of the family" and other medieval lines, as well as her calm and unhurried demeanor, which makes Jose can't help but have a somewhat more determined tone.
Sure enough, Su Ya also smiled bitterly before saying, "You are very smart, Joseph, I also know that I can't hide it from you, but I ...... before"
"It's just that you were very suspicious of me before, afraid that I would have bad intentions after I knew your identity, didn't you?" Joseph just smiled casually, "It's okay, I'll respect your privacy, and after so many things, we're friends, right?"
"Friend?" Su Ya looked at Qiao Se's warm smile on his face, and her heart was a little touched, recalling what had happened in the past ten days, she couldn't help but nod slightly, "That's right, I, Su Ya, regard you Qiao Se as a friend." ”
"That's fine, no matter what your identity is, as long as I know that you, Suya, are my friends with Jose. José deliberately learned Suya's tone and said with a smile.
"It's not in the way," Su Ya shook her head, "As you said, we are friends in trouble, and there is nothing to hide." ”
She paused before she said solemnly: "My full name is Suya-Ellios, I am the great-granddaughter of the former Duke of Ellios of the Bright Empire, and the first heir of the Ellios family, and the current lieutenant general of the Empire, with the title of duke. ”
"Oh, I see. Although Jose was a little surprised by Su Ya's identity, he didn't seem to be as shocked as Su Ya imagined, but muttered secretly: "It turned out to be a second-generation official......
Su Ya looked at Qiao Se and smiled slightly, "I forgot, you are not from this world, so naturally you don't know this, but it's okay this way, at least you can have a friend who treats you honestly." ”
Joseph's eyes lit up, but he said with some curiosity: "Su Ya, I have just come to this world, and I am not familiar with this place, so why don't you tell me about the situation in your country, so as not to cause me a little trouble in the future because of ignorance." ”
Su Ya looked at Qiao Se, thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "What you said also has some truth, then okay, I might as well briefly talk to you about the history of the empire, you are usually a bit nonsense, so as not to cause trouble for these things." ”
Damn, don't I just like to spit and complain, as for the seriousness of what you said? Besides, isn't it just a group of medieval natives, and the traverser can't explain it.
Not knowing Jose's secret belly, Su Ya was already sitting on the stone, and slowly opened her mouth in a calm tone:
"The history of the mainland of Ceylon can be traced roughly in the barbarian period more than 2,000 years ago, when the various races on the continent fought for territory and population, and attacked each other continuously, and after nearly a thousand years of chaotic war, the strength of the human race continued to increase, and finally in the Battle of Anglo more than a thousand years ago, the three tribes of orcs, dwarves and elves were defeated, and since then they have won most of the land and dominance of the continent.
After the defeat, the alien races retreated to the wild plateau in the west of the continent and the vast Warcraft Forest in the south, and gradually formed the current settled dwarf orc tribe and elven tribe, and the continental pattern was laid.
After the victory of mankind over various races, in order to compete for continental hegemony, the human race also fell into a transitional century called the 'Dark Ages' by later historians because of frequent annexation wars. At that time, there were dozens of states and tribes of all sizes in the human race, and even declined for a time due to secession and conquest, while the foreign races in the southwest had a great tendency to revivenation, and the human race was in internal and external difficulties, and the contradictions were increasing day by day.
Fortunately, 560 years ago, the founding emperor Maude I ended the war on the mainland, unified the human continent and established the Empire of Light. From then on, the Terran race was able to further develop and finally establish the absolute dominance of the continent.
My ancestor Lehrer-Ellios has followed him since the beginning of Maude the Great, and later inherited the hereditary dukeship of the empire for his pioneering efforts.
In the 380th year of the empire, the power of the Guangming Empire declined, the steppe people rose in Geerqin, and the Chatai Khan tribe established a khanate. The western part was divided into Isbi in the north and the Kingdom of Macedonia in the southwest.
In the 460th year of the empire, Maude XVIII had no children, and passed the throne to his nephew Crown Prince of Montevia, known as Mondevideo the Great, who reigned for 48 years. I reused my great-grandfather, Duke Elios, to march westward again, pacifying the Chatai Khan and recovering Isbi, most of the eastern part of Macedonia.
Unfortunately, in the later period of reform, wars were frequent, the national strength was lacking, and the mainland was unable to reunify, so the western front was forced to withdraw, and the western expedition failed. There are now four regimes on the human continent, namely Macedonia and Isbi in the west and the Chatai Khanate in the center, and the Empire of Light in the east. ”
"It is worth mentioning that, except for the Chatai Khanate, which was established by a different race in the steppe, the other three countries are actually of the same origin and the same root, but because of hundreds of years of division, their respective cultures are also different, but their languages and scripts are roughly the same. ”
Su Ya sighed, it may be that the historical rise and fall of the mainland makes the girl feel a little emotional, and at the same time, the success or failure of the family makes her feel a little more heavy.
Jose just listened to Su Ya's words quietly from beginning to end, secretly remembering these things in his heart, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"This year is the five hundred and sixty years of the Empire according to the era of the Empire of Light, and the current Emperor of the Empire is Mondevideo IV. Two months ago, I was urgently transferred from the imperial capital to the western province of Moxixing, responsible for supporting the Western Theater. ”
When Jose heard Su Ya say this, he was also a little moved. I thought it was surprising that there were so many strange races in this world, but now I didn't expect that even the human race was torn apart, and I came here at this time.
If you are not familiar with life, you really didn't read the yellow calendar when you went out, and you encountered such a troubled world.
Qiao Se roughly understood the situation on the mainland, looked at Su Ya who was sighing, and asked: "Su Ya, you are the duke of the Bright Empire, or the rank of lieutenant general, you should be a high authority, how can you be chased here by the grassland people?"
Su Ya gritted her teeth and said coldly: "The western border of the empire has been at war with Macedonia for several months, and the governor of Moxi Province, General Heru, the commander of the Western Front, ordered the entire front to withdraw and join forces in Valen City.
The cavalry regiment led by me was attacked by 50,000 Macedonian ambushes in the Battle of Ino, and only a thousand people broke through, and I wanted to wait for reinforcements to arrive. Unexpectedly, on the way back, he was attacked by this group of steppe people and forced to retreat to the Tadam Desert, and you know what happened after that......"
When Qiao Se heard Su Ya say this, he understood the whole story, and couldn't help but ask: "What about your reinforcements? It's been more than half a month, and they ...... it."
"They?" Su Ya sighed, her eyes becoming indifferent, "Some of them wish I died in the chaos, even if Uncle Heru has already called me back, there are always some people in the imperial capital who still can't help but want to move." ”
Seeing Su Ya's face cold, Qiao Se couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Look at the inside of this empire, it's not so harmonious.
This other world, Joseph sighed silently in his heart.
How many surprises are you going to give me......
