Chapter 176: The Legend of the Ancients
The old man gently closed the book he had read before and slowly put it back on the shelf. The shelves were full of books, but they were all covered with a thick layer of dust that seemed to have not been opened in a long time.
After putting the book back, the old man seemed to think of something, looked down at the bookshelf with cloudy eyes, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, and took down a book that was also full of dust.
The old man wiped the cover with his hands, knocked the dust down, and revealed the title in writing, "The Limit and Foundation of Foundry".
Dolank had seen three such things, one was in the Howling Cave, the "Holy Weapon-Scarlet Empress!" that Lin Long in his previous life could summon as a demon slayer!
There is also a weapon once worn by the dragon slayer Alice Doverfour, the "Holy Weapon - Dragon Slayer"!
And although it is not genuine, it also has some power of the real thing, and the "pseudo-artifact - Crown of Light" brought by the Pope of Light who met in the Wailing Cave.
Because the Crown of Light is not genuine, it is not comparable to several other things. But in terms of the power it shows, the Bright Crown is enough to prove the powerful power that its real product should have.
With different names for "artifacts, magic weapons, and holy weapons", the existence of these three things is actually the limit of one realm, that is, the pinnacle of casting.
No one knows exactly how these things came about, and no one knows how to build such power.
Humans have tried it before, and the finished product is the "Inner Demon Blade" in the hands of the demon hunter Bryant Ober. Known as the "Crimson Imitation", the power of the Demon Blade is beyond the imagination of humans at the beginning, and it is not much weaker than the Crimson Queen. This also made humans think that they could create a hallows weapon.
But soon the humans discovered the flaw of the Demon Blade, which seemed to be a curse, and it also led to the abandonment of the Demon Blade, and the owners of the Demon Blade in the past generations have not escaped this curse. Therefore, the Demon Blade cannot be a holy weapon.
And from the beginning, the casting technique did not belong to the human race, nor the high gods, but from the demons!
In the treasure trove of dragon memory, it is clearly stated that in terms of the attainment of casting skills, the demons are well-deserved first! In ancient times, the demons were extremely good at collecting all kinds of magic materials, and divided them into levels and uses to help improve their magic level. You must know that magic itself is a power that belongs to the demon race, and they are naturally very concerned about the progress of magic power.
It can be said that most of the magic materials used on the road now are actually researched by the demons at the beginning. There are even too many demon research materials lost, resulting in humans being unable to identify some very precious magic materials that they don't know how to use.
What an irony! No matter what the allusion, it is regarded as the most vicious and terrifying demon race, but it is the enlightener of the magic age for mankind. As mentioned before, in the era when the real world was not sealed, before alchemy was on the rise, human life was completely dependent on magic. Whether it is the popularization of first-class magic or the magic props that can be seen everywhere, for human beings, magic is a kind of magic that is deeply rooted in human history and life.
And after distinguishing all the magic materials, some people in the demon race will study what kind of power is contained in these magic materials, so that through these things, their own strength can be increased and strengthened.
At that time, the demons still used these props very rudimentarily, such as a "red gem" that is now precious to people, and it had to be continuously processed to create inscription runes to maximize the increase in magic. But at that time, it was almost a human hand holding one, and the magic power was amplified.
This also leads to a large waste of magic materials.
But later, some whimsical people thought about whether they could use the power of these magic materials themselves to release magic without their own strength?
This was the prototype of casting and the beginning of magic items.
Although the demons are cruel by nature, it is absolutely undeniable that they have wisdom, even if they are sages among human beings, when studying the history of the demons, they can't help but sigh that the existence of the demons is another manifestation of God!
In fact, the dragon clan stood from a relatively neutral point of view, and once made a comment on the demon clan.
It's a race that can almost be admired by dragons, and their thirst for power surpasses anything else. The advent of magic changed a lot of things.
You must know one thing, even if it is a god, it is also using the power that the demons have researched-magic!
Yes, not only the gods, but also the dragons, the power of magic is intoxicating, and the power that the demons have researched is a powerful power that the dragons who don't care about everything are recognized!
But the demons also have many shortcomings, the most obvious is that they are too strong in character.
The demon class is extremely strict, and the lower class almost unconditionally implements the orders of the upper class. But such a demon clan has exposed a thing that surprised countless beings in ancient times.
They simply could not organize a decent fighting army, it was completely scattered.
The reason is very simple, the demons do have a strong sense of class, but they have no concept of companionship, let alone the ability to understand others.
For example, for example, Bedto is a demon general, he can command any demon below the demon king, demon commander, and demon general, but another demon general can also do it!
For example, Bedto gave an order to ten demons to attack a city. Ten demons will indeed carry it out, but the other demon general will command these ten demons to obey his own instructions for his own reasons.
In other words, the demons do not have a unified voice at all, and the awe and never disobedience to the upper level and the intrigue between the same level, plus the casual command of the lower level. made the demons once overwhelmed by the Protoss!
But it was at this time that the appearance of the Earth Demon King Diana saved the entire Demon Race, and the Heavenly Demon King Auf Sauter once said to Dorlank that Diana was the only existence in the entire Demon Race with the ability to command, and it was also the root of the Demon Race's desire to return to the mainland!
It is true that Diana, the Earth Demon King, is recognized as the weakest of the five Demon Kings, but in the eyes of Offh Sauter, her importance surpasses that of the other three.
Under the leadership of Diana, the demon king, the demon race has become the most terrifying invader in the world, and it is invincible. At that time, even humans chose to take refuge in the demons.
But as I said before, the demons have a strong sense of peer struggle, which led to the fact that when dealing with human beings, the three demon kings all worked against Diana, ignoring Diana's repeated denials and accepting human beings!
Although none of the three demon kings felt that Diana's command of the demon army had anything to do with it, for the demon race, the same clan also looked down on each other.
And it turns out that Diana, who opposed the acceptance of humans in the first place, was right, and humans stole the root of magic, and let the Protoss also learn the power of magic. The demons fell from above to downwind at once.
At the time of the retreat, the main gods of the Protoss finally made a move! The main gods of the seven god realms after the nine god realms defeated the four demon kings led by the god of war Ares!
And what the demons didn't expect was that although the four demon kings were defeated, because they were immortal, they had the ability to fight infinitely. But the sage of the human race has developed the sealing technique!
The four demon kings were caught off guard, and were defeated by the joint efforts of humans and gods, and were sealed on the five continents, while the other demons disappeared from the continent. The demons who once invaded the entire world were defeated in this way
But everything of the demons was left behind, and the civilization they left on the five continents was also inherited and used by the ancient humans, but at that time, the humans suffered huge losses in the battle of the demons, so they retreated in a corner to recuperate.
And the Protoss, who won the battle, began their journey to dominate the world, but soon, they encountered the biggest obstacle -
That is the war between the gods and the dragons that has been talked about in legends!
Unlike the demons, the dragon is not a qualified invader, or the dragon is more like a guardian, and the footsteps of the god enter the forbidden area of the dragon clan, which leads to the start of the dragon war.
In the battle of gods and demons, all living beings have made a choice to stand, and most of the living beings have chosen to stand on the side of the gods. No matter what else, the demons' disposition to kill whoever they see, except for the races that are willing to be their slaves to survive, other creatures with good combat power are all on the side of the gods, resisting the demons!
However, the Battle of the Dragons did not have such a choice of position, or it should be said that neither side cared about the position of other creatures.
The reason is simple-
Both sides are overpowered!
The Protoss, who had acquired magical abilities with the help of humans, far surpassed their original strength, and even if other creatures were combined, they were probably not as good as the Protoss.
And the dragon clan, in the face of such an enemy, is still undefeated. Although on the whole, the dragon clan has a slight advantage, but the premise is that the dragon clan has not dispatched the whole clan at all!
As mentioned before, the dragons are very strong, so powerful that no living being, including themselves, knows how strong they really are!
The dragons' past is a mystery, unlike the demons, the humans can be traced back to being invaders who came here from another world. It's not like the Protoss, it's a force that has existed in the world since the beginning.
The appearance of the dragons and their purpose has been a mystery from the beginning to the present.
There is a legend that the origin of the dragons is actually the "ominous sea", because many legends about the battle of the dragons indicate that the place where the gods and dragons fought was on the sea!
Humans regard the sea as ominous, and the dragons originated from the sea, which is indeed chilling.
But as a true dragon, Dorranke knew one thing very well-
In fact, the dragon clan, like the demon race, is also an invader of another world. It's just different from the demons
Dragons they, too lazy to invade.
