Chapter 928: Lan Xi's Origin

"Prometheus!" Just as Sylvia looked surprised when he saw Lancy City, Leo showed the same surprised expression when he saw Lanxi City, and couldn't help but pronounce a name.

"Your Excellency Leo, have you read the ancient book of the origin of Lanxi City before?" Because Leo did not hide his voice, so that the footmen doing behind the carriage also heard it, one of the footmen immediately showed a surprised look, looked at Leo and said: "The name of the origin of Lanxi that you recited sounds really standard, just like the pronunciation of this name recited by the ancient Lanxi people, are your ancestors Gulanxi people?"

Hearing the words of the foot merchant, Leo smiled and did not answer, but asked, "Is there still an ancient book of origin in Lanxi City now?"

"Of course, although some of them were destroyed at the beginning, but later after the bloodline was mixed, the Lanxi people sorted out the ancient books of Lanxi origin, and they also had people copy more than a dozen copies, and all libraries in Lanxi City should be able to borrow them for free. The footman immediately responded, and then, as if thinking of something, added: " However, if you want to see the original version of the ancient books, you may need to go to the Gulanxi Cultural Center, although there are special commentators to help you interpret the words on the original ancient books, but because of the chaotic period of the year, most of the inheritors of the Lanxi people died in the chaos, and the inheritors found are also students who have not obtained a complete inheritance, so they can't recognize the words on the ancient books, and most of them still need to compare the later translations to analyze the meaning of some words, but the pronunciation has been lost, what a pity!"

As he spoke, the footman also showed a look of regret, judging from the fact that the other party could know so much information, if the other party was not particularly interested in the culture of Gulanxi, then the other party must have a special relationship with the people of Gulanxi.

After getting the information he wanted, Leo didn't ask the merchant any more about Columsy, because he didn't know anything about the so-called Columsey culture, and if he continued to talk about it, he would be exposed.

The merchant saw Leo's sudden silence, thinking that his remarks about the loss of the culture of Columsey had caused Leo to be sad, so he looked apologetically at Leo driving the carriage and did not say anything more.

Sylvia, who was sitting next to Leo, looked at her partner, she knew that Leo had nothing to do with any Qulancy, but she could feel that the name that Leo had undoubtedly called out at the beginning must have extraordinary meaning, but now was not the time to ask, she could only suppress her curiosity.

As they approached the city of Lanxi, the roads became more crowded with pedestrians and wagons, and when Leo and his carriage reached the first small town on the edge of Lanxi, the merchants dismounted.

For these merchants, their main customers are not the Lanxi people in Lanxi City, but the people in the surrounding towns.

These small towns around Lanxi City were built by people from different regions, some of these people were natives of the Mother of Filth realm, many were from other god realms, and even a large part of the people who lived outside the city were not humans.

They came to Lanxie because Lanxie had books many times fewer than the rest of the world combined, and Lanxie didn't mind others reading and copying them, and although it cost a lot of money, anyone could borrow any book in Lanxi, as long as there was enough money, or if there was enough material equivalent, anyone could borrow any book in Lanxi, including the original version of the ancient Lanxi scriptures, which were treasured by the Lanxi people. Of course, this book is also regarded as a treasure only by Lan Xi, and for ordinary people, this book does not have much value.

Some of these people who came for books were already addicted to books, and some of them needed a lot of time to copy books, and eventually they all chose to stay and build towns, and with the addition of later generations, the towns grew bigger and more and more, and eventually formed their current size.

Although there are many people who have lived in these towns for several generations, they can be regarded as naturalized Lanxi people, but they still attach great importance to some items in their ancestors' hometowns, so that the foot merchants who have traveled all over the world have become the most popular merchants in these towns, as long as there are no accidents, the foot merchants do not need to spend a lot of money to enter the city, and they can empty all the goods in their hands when they enter Lan Xi City.

After the merchant left, Leo continued to drive the carriage towards the dazzling city of Lanxi in front of him.

The reason why it is dazzling is because the outer armor of the spaceship in Lanxi City has been fully opened, and the lights in the inner spaceship compartment are shooting outward, giving people the feeling of being a giant monster shrouded in countless beams of light, so just now the Foot Merchant also mentioned that many people think that Lanxi City is actually the remains of a god after his death, otherwise it would not be so huge and complete.

Some races from other god realms outside Lanxi City even took Lanxi City as an object of worship and established a Lanxi Church without gods, because the race that established this Lanxi Church was not a human being, but a dwarf with a human height and stone skin, so the Lanxi locals did not suppress or restrict the churches of these races.

On the contrary, because these stone dwarves are good at smelting and forging, and their own strength is also very large, the Lanxi people are also willing to hire these stone dwarves to do things, and the reward is to allow them to carry out their religious rituals and even preach in Lanxi City.

It's just that this kind of religion without the response of the gods, let alone other humans or the Black Forest race, even the natives of Lanxi will not pay attention to it, and in the end, this Lanxi Church will only spread among the stone dwarves.

As the carriage approached the city of Lansey, Leo and Sylvia also saw the stone dwarves, all of whom were now dressed in uniform church attire and were standing at the crossroads where there were many people preaching.

Although these stone dwarves had stone skin, their appearance did not surprise Leo and Sylvia.

Leo has already seen all kinds of incredible alien creatures, and he has long been accustomed to strange intelligent creatures, while the stone dwarf is just a little shorter, with a layer of stone skin, and the overall appearance is similar to that of a human, so it is difficult to arouse his surprise and curiosity.

As for Sylvia, she has seen the dwarves of the world of Veron, and she is no stranger to the appearance of this stone dwarf, only the stone skin can attract her attention a little.

There are dwarves in the Maris Kingdom in the world of Veron, but because of some brutal acts of the pioneers of the Mares Kingdom in the early years, nearly ninety percent of the dwarves were slaughtered, and then the Hill Kings Church was established, and the dwarves were classified as a church race by the Hill Kings Church, and they were finally preserved.

It's just that because of the complex emotions of the dwarves towards humans, they are reluctant to have too much contact with humans, so they all stay under the sacred mountain of the Hill King Church, and they will never come into contact with other humans except for the church personnel, so that the vast majority of people in the Velen world have forgotten that there is such a non-human intelligent race.

Sylvia has a good relationship with the Church of the Hill Kings, and after becoming the adjudicator of the Orthodox Church in her early years, she has also been to the sacred mountain of the Hill Kings Church and met the dwarves, and the stone-skinned dwarves that appear now are regarded by her as distant relatives of the dwarves in the world of Velon.

Later, Leo and Sylvia were able to see more and more intelligent races in the Black Forest on the road, such as centaurs that were very similar to the deer people that Leo had seen outside the White Hart Treasury before, such as a floating race that floated in the air and resembled jellyfish.

Although the appearance of these Black Forest intelligent races is strange, compared to the families of the Filthy Mother that they have seen before, these Black Forest intelligent races are already very normal in terms of appearance.

Two or three towns away from Lanxi City, the carriage was stopped by the guards of Lanxi City, who told Leo that he could only go inside on foot, not on chariots or ride beasts, and that all carriages and beasts could be stored in storage places in nearby towns for a fee, of course.

Therefore, Leo and Sylvia sold the carriage directly to the local coach, because after leaving Lancy, they would go directly into the Black Forest, and the carriage was no longer useful to them.

After dealing with the carriage, Leo and Sylvia found a road with not many pedestrians and walked towards Lanxi City, because it was already very close to Lanxi City, so the original vague appearance of Lanxi City was also clear, Leo and Sylvia looked up at the behemoth in front of them from time to time while walking.

As far as the city in front of him is mentioned, it is larger than any spaceship that Leo and Sylvia have seen in Velon, and its bottom cover area is almost the size of a Sex Harbor, which is almost half a brood warship in the universe.

However, such a huge spaceship turned out to be a product of the old Earth era that had not yet left the orbit of the planet, and this also confirmed the various speculations of the Earth Federation archaeologists about this spaceship, and this spaceship was indeed related to alien civilizations.

The reason why Leo recognized Lancy City as Prometheus after seeing it so far away was because the basic education curriculum of the Earth Federation recorded in detail all the things related to the Prometheus, and even all kinds of drawings of Prometheus, and this knowledge is also the basic knowledge that every citizen of the Earth Federation must master, even cyborgs.

Among the spaceships of various races in the universe, the shape of a spaceship with a hemisphere like this is unique, and the armor of the spaceship is also engraved with the symbol of the United Nations of the old Earth era, it is difficult to admit mistakes, and what really surprised Leo was that this spaceship was so well preserved, just like it had just been built.

Just as Leo was re-reading the information related to this spaceship in his mental memory, Sylvia on the side finally couldn't hold back her previous curiosity and asked Leo, "What exactly does Prometheus mean?

Leo explained simply: "Prometheus is the name of a god in the legend of a certain race, this god stole fire from the hands of the gods for mankind, the fire helped humans gain wisdom and reason, and created civilization, and this god was punished by other gods for stealing fire, tied to a high mountain, and pecked by the pets of another god." As for Lanxi City, I don't know much about it, but I know very well about the spaceship that makes up Lanxi City, or even the locals of Lanxi don't know much about this spaceship as much as I do. ”

"Can you tell me?" asked Sylvia, curious.

Leo nodded and said, "Of course you can say it, but this topic may be a bit long." ”

"It's okay, it's going to take us a long time to get to town. Sylvia shrugged her shoulders, took Leo's arm, and said, "Think of it as a walk and chat!"

Seeing this, Leo sorted out the information and rhetoric a little, and then described the old Earth era as another starry sky civilization, and slowly told the story of the Prometheus to Sylvia, and he also reviewed the relevant information again in the process of telling.

The reason why the Earth Federation attaches so much importance to things related to the Prometheus is because the archaeologists of the Earth Federation have marked the construction of the Prometheus as the starting point of the history of the Earth Federation, which is also the beginning of the Doomsday War in the Old Earth Age.

At that time, the resources of the old earth era were extremely scarce, the population was overwhelmed, and there was an urgent need to find a way out for mankind, and all the countries at that time unanimously agreed to open up human colonies to alien planets to obtain resources and disperse the population.

After making the decision, the government of the Old Earth era began to make two routes for this plan, one is to transform Mars, which is closest to the earth, to make Mars a suitable planet for human habitation, and the other is to build an exploration spacecraft in an alien galaxy to find a planet suitable for human habitation from the outer galaxy.

With the technology that human beings on the earth did not even explore the solar system at that time, it was impossible to transform Mars, let alone build an alien galaxy exploration spacecraft, but the final result was that not only the spacecraft was built, but even the transformation of Mars had completed the first stage, and it was possible to migrate on a small scale.

It is precisely because of this unreasonable technological leap that later scholars of the Earth Federation who studied this period of history all agreed that there must be extraterrestrial technology involved.

In the old earth era at that time, the United Nations government announced that these two human rescue plans had been initially successful, and in the eyes of the earth people at that time, this undoubtedly represented that the earth people had come out of the predicament and would usher in a bright future.

It's just that they didn't expect that the bright future had not waited, but what they were waiting for was the doomsday war that almost wiped out mankind.
