Volume 1: The Belated Adventurer Chapter 4: The Liszt Empire
"Dragon's Power"
On the way home, Chu Fan kept wandering these four words in his mind. So much so that they forgot that they might be punished by their father when they came home so late.
"The power of the dragon, the power of the dragon, the power of the dragon!"
Chu Fan stretched out his hands and looked at them countless times.
In this way, he wanted to determine over and over again whether he was human in this life or not.
What is your background?
"Should I ask my father this question...... Or, at the very least, why did I ......?"
Chu Fan's trip to the Martial Arts Empire not only did not solve any problems, but added more uncertainty to his body.
"I forgot to ask Uncle Ba if the energy in my mind is the same as this energy. ”
"Forget it, Uncle Ba is a martial artist, and he doesn't necessarily know anything about magic. Why don't you go directly to Teacher Xili tomorrow and ask. ”
Chu Fan's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know what he wanted to ask, even if he did, what was the point?
What if something happens?
If you, the "pride of the sky", are actually a monster, not a human being, then how will you deal with yourself?
If you are the minions of the legendary monster in the world...... Well, this story was made up by Bawu.
In short, if it is in the throat, it is not unpleasant to vomit.
"Father, only by looking for his father can he be absolutely safe. ”
Chu Fan felt very guilty, and before going out, he thought about not being so intimate with his father, and even wondered if he should treat Chu Ye like his father.
This is the idea of unfilial piety.
Now that something has happened, I want my father to wipe his ass.
Subconsciously, I still want to rely on my father.
"I really have a bad root that I look down upon, evasive, weak. ”
Chu Fan slapped himself hard and rubbed his face again to cheer himself up.
Before I knew it, I was in front of the hospital gate.
Although he knew that Chu Ye would not rest so early, Chu Fan still pushed open the door very gently, afraid that he would make too much noise to Chu Ye.
"Problem, not solved. ”
Before entering the door, Chu Ye's voice came out. Just listening to the voice, Chu Fan couldn't judge what Chu Ye's emotions were like.
Chu Fan walked into the courtyard slowly and nodded at Chu Ye.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Chu Fandi's gaze was as firm as a stone hammer, and for the first time in his life, he dared to look into his father's eyes.
"I'm sorry, father. Chu Fan knelt in front of his father, and threw himself to the ground.
Chu Ye was moved for a while, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
"Cold, get up. ”
A thousand words were not spoken, only three words were reduced to understatement.
Chu Fan knelt on the ground and did not move, this was the first time in his life that he disobeyed his father.
"Talk about things. ”
Chu Fan knelt until his body trembled and he was almost unconscious, and then he got up.
"Father, do you recognize this?"
Chu Fan urged the mysterious energy hidden in his body with all his might, and in an instant, the blood-red energy layer enveloped Chu Fan's entire body, which looked particularly terrifying in the night.
Not only that, the blood-colored light around Chu Fan's head was slowly invaded by the same weird blue energy, and the blue energy firmly protected Chu Fan's head.
Chu Ye's eyes did not show a trace of surprise, some were just plain, and a trace of sadness that was difficult for others to detect.
Chu Fan knew that his father had always known it.
"Anyway, think of it as the power of a dragon. ”
"Your magic can be enhanced into dragon magic. ”
"I hope you don't touch that world. ”
Chu Ye spoke very slowly, pausing every time he said a word.
It seems that this invincible father is worried about something.
Silent.
After a long time, my father spoke again.
"You can collectively call these two energies the Dragon Force, and your body, you can call it the Dragon Force. ”
"It's still different from the dragons of the mainland, but in the early days, it's all the same. ”
Silent.
Chu Ye looked at the starry sky, the stars and the dark moon, and he didn't know which star he was looking at.
Chu Fan knew that there were some terrible secrets hidden behind his physique, and there were some things that even his father couldn't say.
It seems that as long as you mention it, you will be punished by heaven.
Chu Fan can only try to digest the few words his father said now.
"Father, I wanted to ask you about my mother. But I think if the time comes, you will definitely take the initiative to tell me, and now I ask you, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed. So I'd like to ask another question. ”
Chu Fan swallowed his saliva and said in one breath.
"I want to understand the world. ”
"I want to have a basic clear and complete understanding of this continent. ”
"The distribution of power, the ethnic struggle, including all aspects of information inside and outside Lisztti. ”
"Father...... Can you tell me everything?"
Chu Ye thought for a while and frowned.
"There are some things that I can't say for a while, and I will teach you as completely as I can about what I know. Some of the information may have my own subjective perception, and it may not be all right, you have to have your own understanding of the world. ”
Chu Ye didn't speak, but walked to Chu Ye's side. Chu Ye's eyes seemed to be burning violently, and the light emitted from them heated the air.
"Open your eyes!"
Chu Fan's eyes were stabbed so that he couldn't open them, and his instinctive avoidance reaction made the whole process difficult to continue.
Chu Fan tried his best to overcome his instincts, and finally opened his eyes for a moment.
At that moment, Chu Fan felt the breath of the universe.
In the next moment, Chu Fan's mind seemed to explode.
Countless pieces of information were suddenly poured into Chu Fan's sea of consciousness, and Chu Fan felt that his will was about to be destroyed in the next moment.
He instinctively lifted the blue energy to buffer, which was a little better, but his consciousness was still being baptized.
"Liszt Empire, Tifa Plains, Orcs, Bloods, Endless Abyss, Athena Cult ......"
This information is completely unfamiliar, from astronomy and geography to humanities and military affairs.
Chu Fan's worldview was thus formalized.
This continent is called the Eternal Continent, and there are many races living on the continent.
Human beings, who only have a place in it, are far from being the rulers of the continent.
The country where Chu Fan lives is called the Liszt Empire. It is a medium kingdom ruled by humans.
And in this country, if you want to survive in peace, you have to know some background.
The Liszt Empire was founded by the founding emperor Liszt. For thousands of years, the status of the imperial royal family, the Liszt family, was unshakable.
The Liszt family is full of talents, and each generation of kings is a good person. Therefore, although the Liszt Empire was large and populous, it was also well managed.
The Liszt family ruled the empire, and as the founders of the empire, their prestige spread to every corner of the empire.
Hundreds of years ago, a certain great demon clan in the Endless Abyss came to attack, and Emperor Liszt led his troops to fight and died in battle.
Since then, the lineage of the Liszt family has been severed, and the royal uncle has been in charge of the royal power of Liszt.
After the war, although the prestige of the Liszt family remained, there were more and more unstable factors in the empire.
This is an overview of the Liszt royal family, which also contains Chu Ye's cognition.
Under the Liszt royal family, it was the turn of the two pillars of the empire: the Chu family and the Alpha family.
The Chu family has always been known for its omnipotence, which inherits the spirit of the Adventurer's Guild.
The ancestor of the Chu family was the greatest and most mysterious ranger sword saint on the continent at that time: Chu Cang.
It is said that Chu Cang signed a contract with the gods to maintain the peace of the plane;
It is also said that he enslaved seven dragons under his seat, and shocked the four directions;
In any case, Chu Cang's legend has been passed down for hundreds of years, but no one has been able to catch a glimpse of him.
Chu Cang's descendants have their own place in military, political, economic and cultural aspects.
The head of the Chu family sits in the Imperial City of Liszt, and the branches of the Chu family are all over the empire.
And the rise of the Alpha family is another legend.
Hundreds of years ago, a certain great demon clan of the Endless Abyss came to attack.
A general stepped forward and withstood the attack of the Abyss Demon with supreme military talent and the use of the army's battle array.
On the front lines of the battlefield, wherever he is needed, his solid shoulders can be seen.
His name makes the demons of the abyss tremble: Alpha Marshal!
At that time, the king was killed in battle with four princes.
After the war, Alpha became consul, executed all the nobles who had slackened off in battle, and spent another three years reorganizing the empire.
He has long been crowned by the soldiers with the title of the god of war.
While there was speculation about how he would be crowned, the man left a long letter for the princess and quietly left the empire.
But his family was enshrined by the royal family and became the patron saints of the empire.
That is, the empire might have had the surname Alpha, and he didn't.
If the Chu family relied on the absolute strength of the Chu Cang Sword Saint to rise, then the Alpha family relied on the military ability of their ancestors.
These two families are the backbone of the empire, supporting the military and political strength of the empire and the normal operation of the economy.
It can be said that Liszt deserves two giants.
And in the Liszt Empire, there were four giants.
That is to say, in addition to the Liszt royal family, the Chu family, and the Alpha family, there is also a big giant.
Cult of Athena!
The Cult of Athena was the spiritual pillar of the Empire.
The Cult of Athena was the state religion of the Liszt Empire, with its own church in each of the main cities, spreading the radiance of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.
The power of the Church was enormous, it could equip its own knights, and the opinion of the pope could even influence the policies of the emperor.
Each generation of popes of the Holy See chooses a saint to cleanse the Order of Athena with her soul. In the absence of the Pope, the Holy Maiden may exercise the powers of the Pope.
The Temple of Destiny, the main church of the Cult of Athena, is located in the Imperial City, and is said to have resided in the Temple of Destiny, where mankind's greatest craftsmen are said to reside.
Although the Holy See is a sacred and pure place, there is no shortage of open and secret battles, among which the battles are not mentioned in Chu Ye's consciousness inheritance for the time being.
Under the four giants of the Liszt Empire, the major guilds dominate one side.
Imperial Mage Guild.
In every country, the Mage's Guild must be a behemoth.
The number and quality of the magicians in the Liszt Empire are not among the top on the mainland, and the expenses of the mage guild are very large, and the royal family cannot fully provide them, and most of them rely on magicians to be self-sufficient.
Even so, the strength of the Imperial Mage Guild is still not to be underestimated.
The entry difficulty of a mage is higher than that of a martial artist, and even if he is successful in cultivation, his physical body is extremely fragile.
In the Liszt Empire, a country where fighting spirit is prevalent, the strength of the mage's individual combat is weaker than that of the samurai.
However, the Imperial Mage Guild has a good relationship with the Athena Church, and with several elemental mages and a grand mage in charge, it is not a problem to call the wind and rain in the Liszt Empire.
And the guild with the strongest hard power is the Samurai Guild.
Even the most powerful organization on the continent, the Adventurer's Guild, was faintly suppressed by the Samurai Guild in the territory of the Liszt Empire.
The style of martial arts practice in the Liszt Empire is extremely strong, and there have been countless sword kings and sword emperors for thousands of years, and even two sword saints.
In recent years, we have caught up with the era of youth and yellow, the old generation of martial arts powerhouses has passed away, and the new generation of martial arts geniuses has not yet risen.
Even so, it can't hit the foundation of the samurai guild.
The Samurai Guild has a huge number of martial arts and cultivation secret methods, as long as your strength is recognized, you can practice all kinds of exercises you want to practice.
Among the many guilds in the Liszt Empire, the most complex is the Adventurer's Guild.
The nature of the Adventurer's Guild is different from other guilds.
Such as the Magicians' Guild, the Samurai Guild, etc., were all established by the imperial family to serve the imperial court.
However, the Adventurer's Guild was not officially established by the major countries, but was formed by adventurers from the major forces on the continent.
In the Adventurer's Guild, you can see humans from more than a dozen countries in one day...... Even dwarves and goblins.
The Adventurer's Guild is responsible for receiving bounties in addition to the assassination category, and even some of the most bizarre quests.
This is the paradise of the strong, the adventurer's guild has the most powerful and abundant resources of all organizations, and as long as you continue to complete the quest, you will be respected by all adventurers.
In addition to these major guilds, there is also one of the most mysterious guilds.
Assassin Guild.
An organization that hides under the darkness of the night.
Where the Assassins' Guild's base is hidden, it is impossible for ordinary people to know.
This is a force that can only be used by the most prominent figures in the empire, and is often used as a power struggle.
The Assassins' Guild claims to be killable as long as you can afford to pay enough.
In addition to these guild giants, there are also many associations in life.
For example, in the merchant association, some are money, money rolls money, and money makes money.
In the merchants' association, you can shop, borrow, deposit and other business activities.
As long as you have money, you are an uncle.
Others, such as science and technology associations......
Such as industry associations......
These are all minor forces in Liszt's empire, and there are many complicated situations in the empire.
Although Chu Fan accepted it, he didn't care too much about it, and just waited for the future to digest it slowly.
As for the forces of other races and other human kingdoms on the continent, Chu Fan didn't pay too much attention to it, and focused on receiving information from Liszter's country.
I haven't finished plowing this acre of land, so don't worry about things that are so far away.
Chu Fan didn't want to be ambitious for the time being.
"If you think about it, this world is really colorful. ”
