Chapter 99 The Third Epoch

~ ~ (It only takes 3 seconds for a genius to remember) The war is still going on, but this time it is replaced by a blood mage and a guardian of the forest

However, Shen Yi has withdrawn from the battle

Now that the war has been fought, the situation has become more and more clear. With the joint efforts of the traitors from the three clans of King Kong, Lao Meng and Cliff, the heroes are dying one by one, the morale of the camp has dropped, and the combat power has been greatly frustrated. possible

In this case, what Shen Yi is interested in is some information that Clive will bring him

Wandering in the middle of the battlefield, Shen Yi and Cliff seemed to be strolling in the back garden of their own house, chatting casually while watching the battlefield full of smog.

"The Dane family has existed in the city for 120 years?" Shen Yi asked

If you want to understand the city, you must first understand the family. After all, the Dane family's understanding of the city comes from their history to a large extent. gradually collected and learned

If the urban information collected by Shen Yi is just a fragmentary puzzle of information, then the puzzle in the hands of the Dane family has actually formed a roughly complete outline after countless generations of efforts.

Perhaps the most important parts are still missing, but the whole picture is there

"To be exact, it was 118 years," Cliff replied at this moment: "118 years ago, there were no cities here at that time, only death camps, but the primary power system had been established, but it was not as comprehensive as it is now. At that time, Spain Alexis Dane obtained his first bloodline, the bloodline of the phoenix. From that day on, he used this as his origin and created the Dane family. But at that time, his purpose was not for family inheritance, but In order to revive his dead son, he hoped that someone could walk into the Tongtian Tower alive and fulfill his last wish. For this reason, he activated the inheritance power of the phoenix, and entrusted all the power, memory and all his emotions in his blood to him. His successor, the second patriarch of the Dane family."

"So is his wish fulfilled?" Shen Yi asked

Cliff laughed: "Accepting the inheritance of the phoenix blood will also accept some strong emotions from the inheritor. Therefore, at the very beginning, his inheritor tried hard to fulfill his last wish, but unfortunately, he was not able to. In the end, he passed on this power again, hoping that others would complete it. However, in the process of passing on this power, Alexis Dane's emotions gradually faded, and the power of the next generation could not control the ambition of the successor. Although the bloodline of the phoenix is ​​still going on, no one cares about Alexis’ last wish.”

"In this way,

The Dane family should have disappeared soon."

"It's true. When inheritance loses its goal, inheritance becomes meaningless. The inheritor who no longer takes the responsibility of resurrecting Alexis' son has no intention of continuing all this, but one incident happened. , giving the Dane family a reason to continue to proliferate."

Shen Yi lightly raised his hand, and killed a blind-eyed soldier who was rushing towards them: "I guess...it's about the secret of the city"

"That's right, have you heard of the Third Age?" Cliff asked

Tertiary?

Hearing this name, Shen Yi's body trembled.

After entering the third level of difficulty, Shen Yi went to the wilderness twice and searched for the existence of the third era, but unfortunately he did not find the stele that the staff said. In fact, the staff had never seen the stele. What he got The news about it was just hearsay, but Shen Yi never expected to hear this term again from Cliff at this moment.

Seeing Shen Yi's reaction, Cliff smiled, slightly stroked the dark spear in his hand, and had already passed a soldier's throat, and picked it out casually: "It seems that you have heard of this name before."

"I heard that there is a stone tablet that records something about the Third Epoch. I went to look for it, but I couldn't find it"

"It's useless even if you find it"

"why?"

"Because the stele has been destroyed, you can't get any valuable information on it except for some broken narratives"

Shen Yi's eyes narrowed: "The one who destroyed that stele...was the Dane family?"

"Yes, but the Dane family destroyed the stele not to make the secrets on the stele disappear, but to pass it on. It is for this reason that the Dane family has the need to continue to exist. , these former secrets are the most valuable inheritance.”

"That's true." Shen Yi also sighed.

Whether it is Shen Yi or Cliff, they are both people who like to use their brains to solve their opponents. People who like to use their brains must have a common characteristic, that is, they value the collection of information

The secrets of the city are undoubtedly the highest level of information in the world

Skills can be purchased, power can be strengthened, but the secrets of the existence of the city cannot be bought with money

It is precisely because of this that the Dane family has rediscovered the meaning of inheritance, and their inheritance has become larger and stronger, and they have finally become the top forces in the city

This kind of information accumulation with a long history is far beyond the comparison of "upstarts" like Shen Yi

"Can I see the inscription?"

Cliff flipped his wrist, and a parchment scroll appeared in his hand

"My name is Isolt Belfort, latecomers, when you see this inscription, I should have died"

"But I didn't die under the claws of wild beasts, but in the war against the master"

"Yes, don't be surprised to fight the master, because this is not the first time"

"In the distant years, in the first and second epochs of this world's existence, and even in the farther dark ages, this world has never stopped fighting for freedom"

"It is these battles that have caused the world to change. The master retreated behind the scenes, and human beings gained the greatest power to survive, and even owned this habitat for us to survive...the death camp"

"However, please don't be satisfied with the master's concession, that is just a helpless choice for these alien life forms from foreign planets"

"They rule us, they enslave us, they kill us, they pretend to be gods, they claim to be gods and the truth is they are nothing Here may be a world left by the gods, but they're nothing more than a band of uninvited robbers, And think that they can become the masters of the universe, but when we fight back, they will also be afraid, will be afraid, will die, and will even shrink back and give in”

"So, we will once again raise the banner of rebellion and challenge the master"

"Maybe we will die in the end, but our battle will not be meaningless"

"The third era will eventually end, and the new era will come because of our battle. Regardless of victory or defeat, latecomers will have a good chance of survival"

"I may not see that day, but I wish you all in heaven..."

Next, there are some records about the battle, the names of some adventurers who died in the battle, and some trivial things he experienced

At the end of the record, the pioneer adventurer named Isolt Belfort wrote these two sentences:

"I would like to use this monument to record the struggle of me and my comrades-in-arms, and record the history of our bloody battle"

"No matter what kind of world we live in, human beings' resistance to tyranny will never stop"

—————————————

Seeing this, Shen Yi let out a long breath.

He finally understood why in this world, adventurers are treated better and better

Not because of the kindness of the master, but because of the adventurers' resistance

In fact, he should have understood a long time ago, in the first era, the Xiaobo recorded in the book was also killed because of resisting the master?

And with his death, the second era began

Now it seems that the Tertiary or even the Fourth and Fifth Epochs are probably related to this

He looked at Cliff and said softly, "They are a group of real warriors."

"That's true," Cliff replied slowly: "It is their sacrifices that allow the bloody city to exist in this world. Adventurers only need to complete a mission once a month. A mission world with low difficulty also appears. The chances of death are greatly reduced..."

The true establishment of the city has been exactly 110 years so far

It only took one day to complete the construction, and after that, it was continuously repaired and perfected.

It was an earth-shaking change, the bloody and cruel wilderness finally had a real city for adventurers to survive

And what caused all this was the great resistance recorded in the inscription by Isolt Belfort

"It turns out that this inscription is the real origin of the inheritance of the Dane family... But now it seems that the successors of this family have long forgotten the will of their ancestors and have become depraved. Not only that, they even set up some purgatory sect "

Cliff sighed leisurely: "Without any spirit and will, the phoenix bloodline that can truly last forever can pass on knowledge and strength, but it cannot pass on the unyielding fighting spirit. You are right. The Dane family may have been established because A great dream, but after being passed on from generation to generation, later generations forget the dream and only think about the future. Isn’t it just the inherent inferiority of human beings? Human beings have the spirit of resisting tyranny and the will to fight for freedom, but also It also has the traits of betrayal of dreams and self-depravity. Human beings are great, but also small, kind, cruel, generous, and selfish. These countless traits are concentrated in each of you and me. The environment changes...no matter what words you use to describe human beings, they are all thin and pale"

Shen Yi smiled: "I didn't expect you to be a poet"

"It's just a feeling, and the eloquence is not bad. With the inheritance of the Dane family, the family power is getting stronger and stronger. Adventurers no longer think about resisting the rule of the master, but how to gain strength in this limited environment." With more power, more subordinates, and better treatment, the Purgatory Sect was born, if you want to use nonsense to coax some idiots to work for you, how can you do it without better eloquence?"

"You call believers idiots? So you're not a follower of Purgatory Sect?"

Cliff smiled slightly: "On the contrary, I am the preaching priest of the Purgatory Sect, and it is the highest rank."

"Hell, then you still use this tone to talk about your sect?"

"Because I'm a big figure in the sect, I don't believe in it." Cliff laughed: "Belief in this kind of thing is always deceived by the bottom. The priests in the top will never really believe in anyone, because it will not help them." Defrauding others Think about the pedophile priests of Christianity, when they put their dicks in the asses of those boys, did they ever believe in God? When they built luxurious temples with the contributions of believers, let themselves enjoy Did they ever believe in God when they lived a good life? Where was God when they violated the teachings again and again and did all kinds of shameful things? No, they knew there was no God, so they dared to deceive everything in the name of God”

"That's true." Shen Yi also smiled: "Actually, even those who truly believe in the existence of God, many of them are false believers."

Shen Yi remembered that before he came to the bloody city, he was wandering in a novel forum. At that time, he met a well-known author who kept saying that people would have souls after death.

Those who don't believe that people have a soul argued with him, but the author became anxious and said: "If you don't believe it, sell your soul to me."

So a large group of people agreed one after another, saying that as long as one hundred yuan, they could sell their souls to him, and they could sign an agreement

As a result, the author woke up afterwards and realized that he was confused, so he immediately changed his words and canceled the deal, but was chased and scolded by a large group of people

At the time, this incident made people debate whether the transaction should count, but what Shen Yi thought of was another matter, that is, the author himself may not really believe his nonsense.

If not, why should he cancel the agreement?

Shen Yi thought to himself that if he really believed in the existence of souls after death, then it would be too cost-effective to spend a hundred yuan to buy a person's soul and drive it into service.

It's a pity that except for a few fanatics, most of the believers, none of them would do such a thing

It can be seen that many people are hypocrites themselves, but they may not even understand it.

As for Cliff, he is only the best of the hypocrites, for he only deceives others, not himself.

He didn't want to continue on the topic of religion, but it was another matter that aroused his interest

"You said that there were already cities in the fourth era? Then how did the fifth era come out? Is it the resistance of adventurers?"

"This question...it's complicated. To be honest, there are many things I don't know."

"Then tell me what you know"
