Chapter 1,368 The Barbarian King’s Wishes
After getting the Robot Beer mug, Lin could finally drink wine without having to suck water balls. The alcohol content of the beer is not high, just enough to soothe the tense nerves.
As for the old man in front of him, Lin had some plans to give up communication. Put him on the same level as Fen, do whatever you like, I can't afford to offend him anyway.
However, Lin's side has stalled a bit, and Barbarian Alonso still follows his own pace. He took another drink, and at the same time narrowed his golden eyes, which were as bright as a god, and said: "When I saw you, I intuitively felt that you had reached the same threshold as me, so I wanted to try yours." Let's see if there are any clues that can help me go further. But now it seems that although you, a magician, are also very good at martial arts, it is different from what I thought."
After wiping the foam on his beard, Alonso stood up and prepared to leave.
Lin heard the desire from this barbarian, so he guessed a lot: "Old man, do you want to become a god?" After asking, he felt a little regretful. Whether it's a casual conversation or nosy, it's not a good sign.
Things that had been understood but should not be spoken were clearly stated by a certain magician. Barbarian King Alonso's sharp gaze turned into substance and could almost pierce people directly. But thinking about the feeling the person in front of him gave him, and how he also touched that threshold, he sat down again and said, "If you want to go further, this seems to be the only way. Why don't you want to? Why don't you want to?"
I regret it~! It feels like another big devil has arrived. But since I started it, I have to continue the performance with tears in my eyes. I just hope that this time it will be easier for me to pass it off. Lin said: "If the old man is thinking about this matter, I have some insights. The old man can just listen to it and use it as a reference. Even if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter, just pretend that you are drunk and talk nonsense."
"Say it, I have my own judgment." The Barbarian King seemed casual, but in fact he took it seriously. Now he will not let go of any opportunity. That's why I came to see this magician today, and even did it inexplicably.
"I don't know if you know, old man, but recently I am helping the Goddess of Gold Coins promote his beliefs."
"Is that the bank? I heard about it." The Barbarian King said and at the same time, he picked up a gold Koin coin from the Koin coins that someone spilled on the table and looked at it.
I heard that the Coin coin would make a sound when blown, so Alonso tried to blow it. But he didn't hear the expected sound, which made him frown, wondering whether the coins in front of him were fake or the rumors were fake.
Lin looked at the barbarian's movements and could probably guess what he was thinking, so he personally demonstrated how to blow the sound. At the same time, he said: "I think there is no doubt about the importance of the number of believers and the depth of belief to a god. From the past to the present, there are countless examples of conflicts between religions, even rising to the level of war."
What someone didn't say is that no matter how fierce the mortal fight is, there are very few examples of gods personally ending up. Unless it reaches the level of a battle between factions and a duel between good and evil. But even so, we will not start a war in Mystery.
It is true that the gods will not personally 'fight' in a battle of faith. Other things can be done, and a lot has been done. Such as showing miracles, giving holy messages, hadiths, etc.
The person responsible for supervising this matter is Apollos, the so-called strongest guardian lord. Regardless of the good or evil camp, there were quite a few people who were sent back to the Kingdom of God for healing by his shield, especially the Lord of Justice. Now you understand why the three elders of the Three Holy Lights Church broke up.
As for whether there is anyone behind the scenes, I don't want to explore it now. He said these words to raise a question to the Barbarian King. "Since faith is very important to gods, does faith have anything to do with being a god?"
"Does it matter?" Alonso asked.
"Is it okay?" Lin asked.
"Really?" Alonso asked with a frown.
But someone seemed to be cheating, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "I don't know either."
Considering that the old man might hit him with an ax if he was angry, Lin immediately explained: "I really don't have a definite answer to this question. After all, I haven't taken that step, and I haven't heard it from any god." I have heard of these things. But judging from a phenomenon, I have some speculations about this."
Alonso asked curiously: "What phenomenon?"
"In the Dark Ages, the Demon King slaughtered all the old gods. The current gods were all ignited by divine fires and forged their godhood between seven hundred and nine hundred years ago. After that, no new gods appeared, only so and so. Rumors of being replaced.”
"You suggest I go this route and replace some unfortunate guy?"
Lin smiled and said, "Of course not. Let's talk about the new gods who emerged after the Dark Ages. Apart from the fact that they all became gods during a certain period, they actually have one thing in common."
After hearing someone's prompt, Alonso also began to think about what the New Gods had in common. Is it the one I have thought about?
Lin didn't show off, and answered: "Except for a few who have been replaced, all the new gods now are heroes who ended the dark age. It's just that they have different styles of acting. Some are aboveboard, and some do everything possible. That's why They were divided into good and evil camps. They may not know each other, and they may not even appear at the same time, but none of them came out of that era. And these people came first and then, one after another, ignited the divine fire and forged the godhead. The new gods that made them what they are today.”
Demon King Tikal was killed by the brave team. Although it was called the end of the dark age, in fact it could only be regarded as a turning point. It would take nearly three hundred years before the dark army created by the Demon King completely exited the stage of the Lost Lands. Because the Demon King was killed alone at that time, the strength of the Dark Army was not damaged at all.
If only one demon king dies, then the pattern of the lost world will not change significantly. The bad thing is that there are diehards like Stone, who leads the Guards to launch a war of revenge against the rebels. Then, the Dark Legion also fought against each other in order to compete for the position of succeeding the Demon King.
It was the civil strife of the Dark Legion that allowed the long-oppressed ethnic groups to really see an opportunity and revolt one after another. After three hundred years of war, the members of the Dark Legion were finally completely eliminated from the stage. Emphasis: 'completely'. No one can clear their name, change their appearance, and then continue to stir up trouble on the front stage of the Lost World. At most, he could hide and survive.
This is a very difficult war. Especially in the early stages, various ethnic groups simply could not form a qualified army. They all rely on heroic teams of three to five people to fight guerrillas against the Dark Legion, play decapitation tactics, and wear down the Dark Legion's high-end combat power.
It was also during this period that heroes of all races emerged in endlessly. But compared to the brave team that killed the Demon King, the more famous group is the spearman Albrecht, the shield guard Apollos, the shield maiden Logoxanni and the halfling Koin, who are the three heroes of justice, protection and life in the future. Lord and goddess of gold coins.
Some of these heroic teams will become gods in the future, and some will embark on the road to founding a nation. Of course, more of them will be nameless people who died in battle and will lose their future forever. However, whether it is founding a country or becoming a god, it does not mean that they will last long.
Not to mention God being replaced. The country founded by Thoralenson, the brave man who slew the Demon King, was overthrown, and even his blood was slaughtered.
But this is also related to the fact that his descendants are too bastards. Although the people of the world are grateful for the achievements of the brave, it does not mean that they have to be accustomed to the blood of the brave.
In short, it was a most chaotic era. Moreover, people who have experienced that era and are still alive today are reluctant to mention the events of that era.
They all had relatives and friends who lost their lives in one of the countless cruel battles, and they all experienced various tragic events. The trauma caused by that era can only be healed by the hope brought by heroic deeds.
Just in the face of hardships, some people choose to face it positively, while others choose to take the opposite direction. In that pre-dawn era, heroes did not necessarily use Guangweizheng's methods to achieve results. In the end, after becoming gods, these heroes were divided into two camps, good and evil.
In this era and background, all heroes who can become gods are outstanding people. These people have embarked on an otherworldly path and become the "flag" of various ethnic groups, leading them to defeat and destroy the dark army.
Don't think that the forces left behind by the Demon King are just a group of skeletons and slimes. Judging from the standard of a legion of 10,000 people, the Dark Legion is actually the collective name of nearly a thousand legions, a proper army of tens of millions. The ten strongest legions are even a strange combination of all dragons and all lich, which makes people despair. However, there are also situations where tens of thousands of skeletons form an army to make up the number.
Such a huge army, even if it contains a considerable number of undead soldiers who do not need logistical supplies, can only be maintained by squeezing the productivity of all the Homo sapiens races in the land of fascination. One can imagine how strong the various tribes are in their attempts to resist! And how resolute their attitude was when they raised the flag of rebellion!
If Shi Dong's Guards Corps had not initiated the civil war, he would have annihilated two of the ten strongest legions, and the remaining seven would have defeated him, and more than half of them would have been disabled. I am afraid that the three-hundred-year Dawn War will last for an unknown amount of time before the remaining forces of the Demon King can be completely wiped out.
From this we can also know how strong the Imperial Guards Corps, which belongs directly to the Demon King, is among the Dark Legions. In fact, any one of the ten major legions has the ability to kill gods. Otherwise, facing the old gods who could resurrect at any time, if everyone had to count on the Demon King to take action, Fen wouldn't have to raise so many useless armies; and for this group of useless people, he would squeeze the entire world.
The first batch of heroes who became gods were the heroic team headed by the spearman Albrecht. At that time, the human legion they led fell into the trap of the dark legion and was brutally besieged. Among them were two former commanders of the ten major legions who escaped the civil war and defeated the human coalition forces to pieces.
Apollos, the shield guard who insisted on not retreating, kept his oath and was attacked by the two legion commanders, shattering his body. However, although the form dies, the spirit remains forever! He lit the first bright light in this post-dark era and restarted the path to godhood in a world that no longer had a god. The patron saint Apollos recast his golden body, like a chasm wall, standing between the pursuers of the Dark Legion and the human coalition.
Then Albrecht, who fought to the death, lit the divine fire for the second time and vowed to fight for justice for the rest of his life. Compassionate for the many casualties, and for the sake of her beloved man and her sacrificed brother, Luo Gexani lit the divine fire for the third time and vowed to save lives.
The lighting of three bright lamps instantly illuminated the lost land in darkness. Let people truly believe that a new era has arrived.
