Chapter 0299: Secret: The Stranger, Four Seasons, Tyrion
Countless droplets of water condensed into a human form, sword in hand, wearing armor, from the eastern continent through the Dorne arm, into the forests of the western continent. They faced the dwarf aborigines, and after the aborigines took out fresh fruits and meat to entertain visitors from afar, in the friendly atmosphere of the aborigines, they suddenly raised their swords and mercilessly slaughtered the dwarf aborigines.
War broke out between the Eastern and Western continents.
Tyrion had read this ancient history by heart, but with a slight difference, the ancient history of the Terrans omitted the portion of the natives' hospitality.
The invaders of the Eastern Continent are the ancestors.
And the dwarf aborigines are the children of the forest.
The weapons of the Children of the Forest are sharpened sticks, spears made of black ironwood, obsidian daggers and obsidian arrows, they have no body armor, they have no iron and bronze, they do not have castles, they are short, their weapons are primitive and backward. There was no city where they lived, no walls to defend, they lived in trees.
The butcher's knives raised by the invaders after enjoying the hospitality of the aborigines infuriated the aborigines of the entire Western Continent, and the war became bloodier and more brutal by the day. Countless aborigines gathered from the east, west, north and south of the continent, and more and more dwarf aborigines dealt a huge blow to the invaders, and the battle situation was in a stalemate in Dorne.
After the initial great victory, the ancestors suffered heavy losses from the sneak attacks of the aborigines, and they had to send personnel back to the eastern continent, so that more ancestral troops could enter the western continent through the Dorne arm.
The defeated ancestors began to systematically capture the captives and torture them to extract confessions as to why each of their military operations would be known to the aborigines of the forest, but none of the dwarf captives gave in, they preferred to die rather than reveal the truth of the matter.
The invaders held secret military councils and began to defend the occupied territories, cutting down trees and building tall castles in the occupied territories. The Terran sages eventually discovered that wherever there were fish beams and trees, any of their military secrets would be known to the natives.
After investigation, the Terran wise men finally learned that the prophets of the aborigines could see any of their military operations through the eyes of the fish beams. - So wherever there are fish beams and trees, there is no secret about their military operations.
Therefore, the Terran wise men and generals ordered that everywhere they went, they should first cut down the fish beams.
After the secret of the aborigines' fish beams was cracked by the Terran wise men, the natives lost their accurate source of information, and the tide of battle was tilted again, the invaders' bronze weapons and iron armor easily defeated the weapons based on wooden spears and short clubs, and the obsidian daggers, although sharp, were too short to compare with the long swords made of iron.
The invaders were no longer afraid that military operations would be leaked by the Fish Beams - every time they attacked and occupied a place, they had to cut down the trees first, and if they were not fish beams, they had to cut down all the trees first, and if they couldn't cut down, they would set fire to the forests.
This move is too powerful, because the agility of the children of the forest is elusive, and with the help of trees, the combat power of the children of the forest who lost the trees is greatly reduced again.
The invaders then began to encroach on the continent: every time they occupied a place, they first built a castle, but in a hundred years, the entire south was full of ancestral castles. All the fish beams and trees in the south have been cut down. Forests that provide shelter to the indigenous people have been burned down on a large scale.
The aborigines have four kingdoms, and the four kingdoms worship the gods of the four seasons: the god of spring in spring, the god of summer in summer, the god of autumn in autumn, and the god of winter in winter. After the kings of the four kingdoms were killed in battle, the prophets of the Children of the Forest united and crept to the Dorne Arm, they chanted a spell to awaken the power of water, and the water of the narrow sea formed a magical water hammer, and the water hammer with unrivaled magical power smashed the Dorne Arm connecting the East Road and the Western Continent, so as to prevent more invaders from coming.
Since then, a narrow sea has been separated between the East Road and the Western Continent, and the Dorne Arm, which was smashed by a magic water hammer, formed the current Stone Steps Islands.
Dorne's arms shattered, but there were enough invaders in the Western Continent who brought with them iron civilizations, building magnificent castles out of boulders, and only the natives with sharpened sticks and obsidian daggers and arrows were unable to break through the invaders' massive rock castles. Unable to wipe out the aborigines in the mountains and mountains without the support of the Eastern Continent, and the aborigines were unable to drive away the invaders with armor and sharp swords, the wrath of the gods was caused by hundreds of years of bloody wars, and the four seasons began to lose their balance, and the will of the gods began to tilt, with spring and autumn beginning to get shorter and shorter, while summer and winter became longer and longer......
The first great change occurred in the north, where the original giants' homeland began to turn into a land of ice and snow, and the power of the winter god was strengthened and manifested in the north. Year after year, the power of the summer god is more and more worshipped and manifested in the south, while the time of autumn and spring is becoming shorter and shorter.
Finally, the first long summer appeared, this time for the first time that lasted for a year. In the long summer, people's planting was harvested, and the power of the summer god was strengthened again. The long summer finally passed, and after a short autumn, the continent ushered in the first long winter, and in the north, the belief in the cold god that had never been heard of appeared for the first time...... Two thousand years later, the land of worship of the god of cold became the land of eternal winter, and for the first time, the people of the god of cold appeared, the followers of the power of ice and snow—a new intelligent being, a kind of humanoid life—the aliens.
............
Tyrion watched unblinking as this 10,000-year-old history evolved in front of him, using the azure lake to interpret the magic of this period of continental history, which only belonged to the children of the forest of the aborigines.
*
Tyrion couldn't move for a long time, and the two huge lakes in front of him that played out history had dissipated for an unknown amount of time.
He now finally understood what Will had done, and he fully believed Will's words: the long night was coming, and the strange ghosts were coming. Outside the Great Wall of Desperation, there are indeed strange ghosts, and strange ghosts have always existed and never disappeared. And the Great Wall of Desperation is not to stop the wild people in the land of wind and snow, but to stop the strange ghosts brought by winter.
The wraiths bring cold and darkness, and the darkness and cold are the source of the wraith's power.
The Terrans, the real enemy, are in the north.
After reading so many secrets and seeing the Son of the Forest's affinity for water magic, his own identity is not as simple as it seems. Tyrion had thought of something, but he couldn't emotionally accept that he turned out to be nothing more than a humanoid being—after decades of living in the Terran as a Terran.
"Why, then, was I born into a Lannister family if I am a descendant of the Children of the Forest? ”
