Chapter 13, Civil War and External Disaster
The more time I spent together, the more I felt that Talogris was an unusually unreliable person.
And I believe that this is definitely not a delusion or prejudice.
Today, when I am getting closer and closer to the southern collar of Luo Di Crow, I have recognized this fact with black lines......
......
After encountering the commotion of the Lord of the Fishy Worms, or the God of the Underworld, Li Yaoguang made a very purposeful move, that is, to escort our group of scumbags from the Fishy Worm Wilderness, this magical realm, to return to the human settlement of Luo Di Crow Southern Territory.
But what makes me very sad is that I finally talked to her after a year in school, but I was hated because of an accident...... Although Uncle Talogris helped me prepare clothes in the style of robes that didn't fit well, Li Yaoguang didn't take a second look at me along the way.
What I couldn't understand even more was why she explicitly called herself the messenger of the gods, and although I had seen the god of light (the white ball of light) who called himself Vidadido, I was not at all prepared to swagger in such a strange name...... Of course, I don't mean to say that Li Yaoguang is a liar, but I don't understand her intention to make herself more eye-catching. She didn't show any desire to befriend the gang, but she didn't leave it alone, as if something was restricting her......
The trek was very painful, and I thought it had something to do with my low stats at first, but in the course of the journey, I gradually learned the clues of this world through the boring nonsense of Ston and Talogris and others......
Talogris's status was the highest among their group, and he naturally had the most knowledge, but his descriptions were overly believable and subjective, and it took me a lot of effort to understand the world he described.
Even if it sounds good, this world can only stay at a semi-civilized level, human settlements are scattered and dotted, transportation and communication between each other are not developed, and the trade between the settlements needs to take considerable risks, a large part of which is because of the so-called magic and secret realms that are difficult for humans to control or understand, these places are shrouded in a mysterious veil called the unknown, which is both terrifying and extremely desirable, because it is often full of unimaginable wealth, but they are also prohibitive, because of the danger of omnipresent...... No one knows what they will encounter in the Demon Realm or the Secret Realm, and all the information is mixed with truth and falsehood, and it can even be considered that it is all exaggerated bragging...... The only thing that has been recognized for countless years is that they are distinct from other areas, almost all of them can be seen at a glance, and the unique things inside rarely invade the outside world, although these realms will slowly expand or contract over time, but in general they are nothing more than some dangerous areas full of danger and wealth. Even an exaggerated mythical catastrophe like the Lord of the Fishy Worm (the god of the underworld) would not affect or invade human settlements for no apparent reason, so for ordinary people, as long as these places did not exist. Of course, there is a big difference between the Demon Realm and the Secret Realm. This is divided by their different properties. In the early days, there was no such thing as a so-called Demon Realm, and all the mysterious and dangerous areas that people didn't know about were all secret realms. But when more and more adventurers, a profession that wants to make huge profits from the secret realm, appears, grows and organizes, some of the secret realms that are closer to the human race settlement have quite a lot of people to explore, and most of them stay there, but the few who can come back alive and bring back a lot of wealth will naturally bring back relevant information...... Although there have been cases where there are only treasures in secret realms and there is no danger, most of them are full of dangers, and the biggest danger is the aborigines who live in the secret realm. The so-called Demon Realm is actually a more refined division of the secret realm that has been explored, and their danger mainly comes from the creatures that inhabit it, and if you want to obtain wealth, you must fight with these demonic creatures, and even fight to the death...... In other words, the most significant significance of the Demon Realm is that someone has successfully returned alive from there. In other words, compared to a foggy secret realm, the demon realm is more attractive.
But it's different from things that only affect a portion of the population. The big thing that really affects everyone's daily life is the confrontation between the two empires of Bandora and Kulodo.
Settlements develop into villages, villages develop into towns, towns are followed by cities, cities are above cities, and when united are kingdoms, and behemoths that control many subsidiary kingdoms are empires.
At least in the eyes of Talogris, the would-be heir of the southern realm of Roddy Raven, as long as it is of human race, it must be related to Bandora or Culodo, and there are no exceptions. The reason for this is that, in the unusually ancient past, the human race was once united by a supreme empire, that is, the unique Great Empire of Banloradir in history, which is also the predecessor of Bandora and Kulodo. History has long since lost sight of the process, and the only definite outcome is the disintegration of the symbol of the unity of all races, Banloledir. Even if both sides claim to be the rightful successors of Banloledir today, and continue to fight, infiltrate, assassinate, collude, betray, and so on openly and covertly, and use all means to completely destroy their opponents, no empire has been able to achieve the unity of all mankind again until today, two thousand years later.
In the course of the war, the territory of the two sides changed several times, countless settlements were destroyed and reborn, and mixed beliefs were born at will, including the birth of legends of love and hate, and the continuous flow of dark tragedies......
Although it is located on the border of the Bandora Empire, it is poor and backward, but the random breeding of the Demon Realm around it hinders the development and growth of the place, and at the same time, it does not have to face the war blade of the Kulodo Empire. And in the subjective color of Talogris, the people of the Kulodo Empire are almost equivalent to the monsters who eat human flesh and drink human blood, and the Bandora Empire is the embodiment of justice, the successor of Banlo Ledir, he firmly believes that in this war, the gods are on their side, and they will also win the final victory.
However, in my opinion, there is no right or wrong at all in war, there is only a dispute of interests, and the people at the bottom who are most affected and harmed are often the people at the bottom. This is naturally an advanced concept of modern people.
However, I have also made one thing clear, that is, people in this world are facing both civil war and external disasters, so they must live miserably...... One of the major proofs of this is that Talogris hates the bloodthirsty bandits of the South ......!
