Chapter 13: Elements and Contracts
"God opened his eyes, and the world appeared."
"The world was born, chaos and darkness, God said there should be light, so the element of light appeared, illuminating the world."
"But the world was empty, and God did not like it, and He put down the earth element, and the earth was formed."
"He put down the element of water again, and formed the ocean, but the water flowed, and it flooded the earth."
"The divine edict commanded the water elements to leave the earth, and the seas to leave, but left rivers, lakes, rivers, and streams on the earth."
"God then laid down the fire element, and to dry the earth, and the fire element turned into a volcano and covered the earth with magma."
"A new plant blocks the spread of magma, it is a combination of water and earth, and it is a new life born."
"God loved life, so He commanded the fire elemental to be silent on the earth, and he put down the wind elemental and scattered the seeds of plants all over the earth."
"But the plants always pass away quickly, and God does not understand, so He asks the plants why they die, and the plants answer God, "The light is good, but they are too weak to withstand the constant rays of the light."
"God then sprinkled the earth with the element of darkness, and commanded it to alternate with the element of light, so that the earth would be half day and half night."
"The plant is still dead, and God asks why it is dead, and the plant answers, "My life is so short, dear God."
"God did not like death, so He created dragons, elves, and krakens, and gave them great power, immortal life, and unique beauty."
"The dragon is arrogant because of its great power, and regards the earth as his own territory, and the elves that live on it as his servants, and the immortal elves are afraid of the dragon's power, so they surrender, and the earth falls."
"The dragon greedily coveted the vastness of the sea, but the beautiful kraken rejected the dragon, saying, "You have such powerful wings, you should soar in the sky, neither the earth nor the sea, you should stay."
"The dragon was enraged by the Kraken's refusal and attacked the sea, and the cry of the Kraken reached the earth from the bottom of the sea, but he did not succumb to the dragon's power, and resisted the dragon with a small and meager strength, and the elves were touched by it, and they gained courage to resist the dragon, and the war began, and blood and fire burned from the earth to the sea."
"Because the world is in chaos, and God is angry."
"God then put the dragon to death, and the dragon's flesh and bones were scattered all over the earth, and its blood flowed into the ocean, turning into countless monsters."
"God went to the king of the elves and asked, "Why do you succumb to the dragon when you have immortal life?" The Elven King replied, "God, immortal life has not given us the strength to resist the dragons. ”
Then God asked, "Then why did you choose to rebel against the dragon in the end?" The elven king replied: Those lost lives have taught us courage, and courage is the most powerful force in the world. ”
"The god went to the krakens and asked them, 'Why do you dare to resist the dragons when you have no strength?' The Krakens replied, "The ocean is our strength." ”
"God was inspired to create the human race, which does not have the power of dragons, the immortality of elves, or the beauty of krakens, but dares to explore the unknown, light torches in the darkness, and protect important people in danger."
"But God ignores the weakness of human beings, and the monsters made of dragon flesh and blood can easily destroy human beings."
"Humans prayed to God, and God gave him a contract that whoever had the approval of the earth element could control the earth; Those who have the approval of the water element can control the water; Those who have the approval of the fire element can control the fire; Those who have the wind element can control the wind. ”
- Elements and Contracts
Lu Xi closed the book and sat on the chair for a long time, fairy tales in another world are like this? Shouldn't this thing be called the Bible?
Because he has no belief in God, Lu Xi doesn't believe much in it...... Maybe it was written to coax children to deceive people.
After glancing at the time, Lu Xi decided to open the book "Legend of the Kingdom of Trummini" again.
What surprised Lu Xi even more was that this book turned out to be about the founding history of the Kingdom of Trummini - after God gave humans a contract, five humans were the first to gain the approval of the elements and became elemental mages and elemental warriors respectively.
Among them, the elemental warrior who has been recognized by the earth elemental is the first king of the kingdom of Trummini.
In other words, the original five human beings created the four kingdoms and the Holy See respectively.
Luxi: ??? Why does the storybook begin with the Bible that precedes it...... The fairy tale book content is connected.
Continue reading, except for the beginning of the book, which talks about the origin of mankind, the rest of the content is how the king named Herman created the kingdom of Trumini.
Probably because it is a book type that is biased towards enlightenment, the sentences are very shallow, and it has undergone a lot of beautification, and it looks more like a fairy tale book than the "Elements and Contracts".
Lu Xi eliminated those useless descriptions, synthesized the contents of these two books, and summarized the known information by himself.
In this otherworld, the world is made up of various elements, and there are four races of life, namely dragons, elves, krakens, and humans.
Humans are the weakest of them all, and need to rely on the power of contracts to control the power of the elements, unlike other races, which can naturally control the elements.
Dragons are currently the most powerful individual creatures in the world, but they are not the dragons mentioned in fairy tales, they can only be said to be the descendants of the dragons after their deaths.
Dragons usually prefer high places and will occupy tall, hard-to-climb mountains as their territory.
Elves are a race that has existed since ancient times, and it is mentioned in the book that there is no such thing as death in the true sense, and that every elf who dies will return to the tree of life and become a new fruit and be born again.
However, the exact location of the Tree of Life is unknown, or rather, humans have been unable to detect any information about the Tree of Life.
Krakens are special, they are not much stronger than humans, but because they live in the sea and have a unique living environment, they live quite freely, and there are no natural enemies and dangers.
The most important thing is that the Kraken is really beautiful, and one of the important things mentioned in the book is that no one who has ever seen a Kraken can imagine how beautiful it is.
The above has little to do with Lu Xi for the time being, so she mainly summarized the content about human beings from the few words in the book.
About thousands of years ago, humans received a contract from the gods, and humans who received the approval of the elements could sign a contract and use the power of the elements.
Five humans were the first to be recognized by the elements, and they used their powerful powers to protect the humans, allowing them to survive the threat of monsters and establish different kingdoms.
Herman, who was recognized by the earth element, established Trummini, the land of the earth element; Moretti, who was recognized by the water element, established Sinovaro, the land of the water element; Savi, who was recognized by the fire element, established the fire elemental country of Baltrufi; Ichnan, who was recognized by the wind element, established the wind elemental country of Pavaragon; and Lofes, who was recognized by the elements of light and finally founded the Holy See.
God approved of the actions of these five humans, so He gave the five elemental contracts to each of the five humans, and the subsequent people needed to go to the corresponding elemental country if they wanted to obtain the approval of the elements.
At that time, the kingdom of the four elements was rising, but humans were extremely complex creatures, they could unite when they were dangerous, and hurt each other when they were safe.
After the establishment of the four elemental countries, there were not stable for hundreds of years, and the war between human beings began, and all kinds of strange things emerged one after another, and the elemental contracts that were originally guarded by the kings of various countries were also lost several times for various reasons, resulting in many small countries in addition to the four kingdoms.
On the contrary, the Holy See, which was unknown at the beginning, has become the most powerful force in mankind today under the experience of time, but the Holy See is not involved in the internal affairs of the four elemental countries, including those small countries that suddenly appeared, and the Holy See also treats them equally.
To this day, although the country of the four elements still exists and is at the top, under it, there are many kingdoms that exist, and even faintly threaten the country of the four elements.
Thanks to the author of this book, when describing the affairs of the kingdom of Trummini, there is always an additional reference to the ugliness of other countries as a comparison.
For example, the Fire Elemental Country Baltrufi was the first kingdom to have a civil war, the Wind Elemental Country Pavaragon had lost the contract the most times, and the North Vache Kingdom was a brother country of the Water Elemental Country Signovaro, etc., Lu Xi analyzed the above content from these black materials.
It is not denied that this is a means to discredit other kingdoms, but it has greatly enriched Lu Xi's cognition and made Lu Xi realize what kind of world this is.
With a deep breath, Lu Xi glanced at the sky outside, it was already close to twelve o'clock in the evening, except for the light in her room, the entire Kuwa Village was almost silent.
Aunt Asuna next door was also asleep, and Lu Xi walked out of the yard with confidence.
Marked in four directions, southeast, northwest and southwest, the southwest direction is the entrance of Luxi from the Prohei Forest into the village.
But according to Aina, because Kuwa Village is so close to the Prohei Forest, monsters come out of the forest from time to time, so the road is patrolled by villagers every night to prevent monsters from entering the village in the middle of the night and hurting people.
Although there is a low-level elemental warrior like the village chief of Luli, the villagers of Kuwa Village can't rely on him all the time, and they must be able to stand up themselves, so there is a fixed night patrol team.
Lu Xi didn't want to bump into the villagers' patrols, so he had to choose other directions to leave the village.
But in fact, there are not many choices for Lu Xi, it is better to say that there is no choice at all.
To the southeast of Kuva Village, it also faces the Problack Forest, where the village chief's house is located, and can be the first to deal with dangers from the Problack Forest.
Lu Xi didn't dare to test how far the low-level elemental warriors could go, so he could only avoid the Luli Village Chief's house.
To the northeast of the village of Kuva, leading to the town of Viguri, is the liveliest part of the village, where taverns and grocery stores are built.
The point is that Ayina told Lu Xi that there was a team of seven mercenaries living there, and the specific Ayina didn't know, only that they were elemental warriors or elemental mages who were more powerful than their father.
Therefore, Luxi can only leave the village from the northwest direction.
Turning around and leaving the village, Lu Xi did not walk around, nor did he shout, the sky was dark and the night was quiet, and the sound spread far away, not necessarily attracting anything.
Lu Xi believed in Xiao Yuan's sense of smell even more, and he could spot danger from a distance of a few miles, and he would definitely be able to find her out of the village and take the initiative to find her.
Sure enough, Lu Xi had just stood for more than ten minutes, and a beautiful fox face appeared in the grass next to him, Xiao Yuan gently "whined" twice, and when Lu Xi turned his head and saw it, he got out and threw himself into Lu Xi's arms.
Lu Xi's mind was tense all day, and finally relaxed after seeing Xiao Yuan, she whispered to Xiao Yuan, "I found a place to live in the village, let's stay here for a few days, and when I understand the situation again, we will think about leaving." ”
"Some people in the village are quite powerful, Xiaoyuan, you have to be careful, don't be discovered by them, and when I return to my farm later, we can have a good meal and spicy food."
Lu Xi actually didn't know what the state of her Goldfinger Farm was, but it was definitely better than her current situation.
It's a pity that she didn't intervene to ask Ayina about the monster during the day, otherwise maybe Xiao Yuan wouldn't have to hide XZ now.
Returned to the residence along the same road, did not alarm anyone along the way, it was very smooth, but before Lu Xi closed the door, he felt that it was a little smooth...... Disturbed.
In the shadow of the corner, the figure of Village Chief Lu Li walked out, his expression slightly complicated.
As a manager of a few thousand villagers, he is responsible for the safety of the entire village, and it is impossible for him to easily trust an outsider like Lu Xi.
Even if Lu Xi's identity is a noble lady, the more important thing is definitely the safety of the villagers of Kuwa Village.
During the day, because most of the villagers were at home, no matter what Lu Xi wanted to do, he could be found in time, and Ayina accompanied him throughout the whole process, so Village Chief Luli didn't pay too much attention, but just spent a little more energy observing at night.
It's just a precautionary measure, but I didn't expect that this Miss Lucy really waited until late at night to make a move.
What's more unexpected is that she acted late at night to bring a monster cub into the village, so that the village chief of Luli has a sense of powerlessness to punch the cotton.
As for the words that Lu Xi whispered to Xiao Yuan just now, Village Chief Lu Li naturally heard it, he was a low-level earth elemental warrior, and he had a way to get close without being noticed by the monster cub.
Overall, during this follow-up, Village Chief Luli got good news, that is, this Miss Lucy was indeed a noble lady who had an accident, and she was a noble lady who owned an entire farm.
Thinking of the monster cub, Village Chief Lu Li shook his head, no wonder he always felt a little strange when he saw the bird prey that Miss Lucy was carrying, even if nobles generally carry protective elemental magic weapons, which can be used for hunting, it should not be that kind of trace.
Looks like this monster cub did it.
I don't know how Miss Lucy took in this monster cub, but I think that Miss Lucy can live in the wild for so long, thanks to this monster cub, and it's no wonder that Miss Lucy seems to care so much about the monster cub.
However, Miss Lucy seemed to be afraid that they would hurt the monster cub...... Village Chief Lu Li didn't quite understand.
Although humans have always lived under the threat of monsters, humans are more aware of their own vulnerability, so they will seize all their forces to protect themselves, and domesticating monsters is one of the ways.
If it weren't for the fact that it would be too expensive to raise a low-level demonic beast, the village chief of Luli also wanted to raise one to protect their village.
Shaking his head, Village Chief Lu Li no longer thought deeply, the cub of a low-level monster on the left and right would not pose any danger to the village, so let's pretend not to know first.
