Chapter 66: Once Upon a Time in the Empire (I)

"Teacher Fitters." Dipo stood at the door of the teacher's office and knocked politely.

At this moment, it is already the time of the second class, but it is a course for each student to test their combat talent, and Debo does not need to take it.

After class, he was surrounded by his classmates who asked him this and that, and a small part of them were questions about how he defeated Donat, the "Grim Reaper", but most of them were questions about the light, and all kinds of worship and envy haunted him.

In a trance, it was as if Dibo had become the center of the whole world. But I don't know much about these, so I can only cope with the answer. It was almost forced to demonstrate the power of the light attribute before he got out when the class bell rang.

Fetters was the only one in the office, and she was sorting out the materials for the next class, when she heard a knock on the door, she raised her head and looked at Dipo suspiciously: "What's the matter, is there something wrong Dipo?" ”

"Hmm." Di Bo nodded a little shyly, and said the confusion that he had been holding in his heart during class: "Teacher, I have a question that I wanted to ask in class, but you said that everyone knew that I didn't ask, otherwise it would be a waste of everyone's time." ”

"Everybody's a problem to know...... Oh, are you talking about our past with the Dirowan Empire? Hearing Debo's narration, Fetters tugged at her short hair and thought about it, and then suddenly thought. However, knowing Dipo's doubts, she asked a little strangely, "Didn't Lord Bakpo tell you about it?" ”

"Yes......" Dipo replied simply, recalling the details of his upbringing, "My father told me a lot of history and legends, but every time he asked me questions about demons, he seemed to be very resistant...... So I didn't dare to ask, so I really don't know. ”

"No wonder......" Fetters sighed softly, got up and searched for it from his bookshelf on the side, then took out a book and put it in Dipo's hand, "This can be regarded as a nightmare for almost all humans nowadays, especially for someone like Lord Bakpo, who has experienced it first-hand, and it is normal for people not to mention it...... In addition, your hometown is so remote, you have no other way to understand this history, right? It's understandable not to know. ”

The book is slightly thicker than the average textbook, and a few large characters appear in the gilt printed font on the cover - History of the Creed Continent.

After taking the book, Dibo bowed seriously and thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "So troublesome teacher." ”

Dibo's actions made Fitters look panicked, and even a little panicked and hurriedly said: "There is no trouble, there is no trouble, it just so happens that the content of the next class is almost ready, so I will tell you about it." Now turn to page 1279. ”

Dipo followed her instructions and turned the page, which clearly recorded the fall of the Dirowan Empire, from the moment the seeds of destruction were planted......

"The Dirowan Empire, which once existed, located in the center of the entire continent, was the empire with the strongest comprehensive national strength among the human empires. More than 120 years ago, it was discovered that there was a demonic race hiding within the borders of the country. The then emperor of the Dirowan Empire, the virtuous king Heilig, immediately sent an army to fight, and the first few battles were won greatly, but all the remnants of the demons escaped......" Fittes spoke briefly, but at the same time slowly, a whole page of the book, she edited herself into one sentence, only the main points, omitting the detailed accounts and inconsequential details recorded in those books, and let Dipo read it for himself. When she saw Dipo finish turning the page, she continued: "However, this remnant demon has become a nightmare for all humans in the Dirowan Empire and even the whole continent, and their leader has been dormant for ten years and has carried out terrible sacrificial rituals, successfully summoning an army of monsters to launch a crazy attack on Dirowan. ”

"Seventy thousand twenty-year-old girls were sacrificed and their souls were impregnated to create an innumerable army of monsters......," the book describes the ritual of the sacrifice - collecting 70,000 girls and killing them at the same time and place. This caused Dipo to feel a terrible discomfort, what a bloody and cruel nightmare. How to say that? Is this what the devil does?

"Everywhere the monsters pass through is hell, even the Dirowan Empire in full swing can't stop such a crazy attack, although it has asked for help from all the human empires around it, including us, but before the reinforcements arrive, the whole country still collapsed - the demon army frantically swept through all the cities in front of the imperial capital, and none of the cities could withstand more than three days. In the end, in the defense of the imperial capital, although the royal city guards stubbornly resisted and fought hard, due to the whispers of the demons and the fear of death, a noble mage army chose to mutiny and defected to the demons. The large force of the garrison was defeated by the enemy and was eventually slaughtered. The king was also killed in battle in the main hall, and the seven-year-old prince escaped under the protection of generals loyal to the king. The Dyrowan Empire was thus destroyed, and this day was also the darkest day on the entire continent......"

Similarly, Fitters's words have a clearer description in the book, from the appearance of the monster to the final conquest of the imperial capital, the time when each city was attacked, the general situation of personnel losses, the battles of various imperial reinforcements, and even the specific family members of the mage nobles who betrayed the imperial army and fell to the demons.

"Wait...... And then? What happened to the escaped prince? After reading the whole history, Dipo found that there was no follow-up, and the next page was already the rule of the demons after they took over the empire, the history of the crusades of the surrounding countries, and so on. The whereabouts of the prince were not mentioned, and he did not even see the results of several pages later. Suspicious, Dipo looked at Fitters longingly, hoping for an explanation.

"......I don't know," Fitters shook her head helplessly, and said an answer that surprised Dipo slightly: "After all, it is already the territory of the devil, and it is not very convenient to spread the news." There is no official record of our empire, including other human empires. However, in the land of the kingdom that has become a demon, there was a rumor ten years later that four adventurers posed as the prince and his companions to challenge the demon king, and in the end they were defeated by the demon king, and the prince died without a body, and three of his companions were captured and publicly abused and executed...... Of course, this is just a rumor, and none of the human empires have recognized it. ”

"And what about our empire?" Listening to what Fits said, Dipo understood the ins and outs, and although his mood was indescribably heavy, he continued to ask the next question. (End of Chapter 66)
