Chapter 211: Ghost Castle and Lost Land
"It seems that Grandpa Tosta is really not aware of the 'Death God's Tomb'... By the way, you just said that only the descendants of Danatus can enter the 'Death God's Tomb', so are there any family members among the four or five groups of people sent out to look for the old man?"
Tosta nodded: "I will arrange one or two family members to accompany each group."
"That's good, let's continue talking about the other two ancient realms." Qin Weijie said and brought the topic back again.
"The remaining two ancient realms are the tribe-inhabited ancient realm called 'Ghost Castle' and the war-type ancient realm of 'Lost Land'.
The ancient realm of 'Ghost Castle' is relatively livable, with a climate similar to that of the real world. The inhabitants are a kind of undead creature called 'zombies'. 80% of the world is black ocean, and the total land area is about the size of three United Kingdoms, divided into four square islands and a central island.
The so-called 'Ghost Castle' is located on the central island. A powerful creature lives in the Ghost Castle - the Skeleton Monarch. It is also he who sits in the 'Ghost Castle' and governs the entire 'Ghost Castle' world. As for the four square islands, there are four different 'zombie' tribes, which can also be understood as four countries."
"Hey? Grandpa Tosta, since the 'Ghost Castle' is already governed by the Skeleton Monarch, why do you say that the Fuli family controls this ancient realm?" Qin Weijie asked.
Tosta was not annoyed by Qin Weijie's interruption, but still patiently explained: "The Skeleton Monarch was originally the youngest son of the ancestor of the Welfare family, 'Danatus'. Because of the disagreement with his father's philosophy, he parted ways and eventually established the 'Ghost Castle' in the ancient world and continued to practice his own philosophy."
"What philosophy?"
"The Living Dead Plan...
The young master should also know that the intelligence of undead creatures will be reduced when they enter the real world. Except for high-level undead creatures, it is difficult for other undead creatures to create actual value. They can only be controlled by the controller to do some simple mechanical work.
Humans have always retained the wisdom to transform the world and create art. The power of the god of death can control the undead, but it cannot control the living. If people are killed and turned into undead, they will inevitably lack human wisdom.
At that time, Danatus believed that the dead God only needs to manage the order of the undead, but the Skeleton Lord has a greater ambition. He hopes to use the power of the God of Death to control the world.
So he tried to change humans into a new species with undead characteristics but retaining human wisdom, attempting to completely transform all humans to control the world.
This is his plan for the living dead. For this reason, he took advantage of the Black Death to secretly experiment on living people and turned those humans into monsters that were neither alive nor dead. This is the prototype of zombies.
It was precisely because of the Skeleton Lord's audacity that attracted the attention of many prisoner god forces. It can be said that Danatus was eventually hunted down and killed by several prisoner god forces, and half of the reason was because of the Skeleton Lord's recklessness. "
"Tsk tsk tsk, he is really a filial son! A model of cheating fathers!" Qin Weijie couldn't help but Tucao: "What happened after that? Anyway, I know that the Skeleton Lord definitely did not succeed, otherwise he would not have hidden in the ancient world."
Tosta nodded: "The Skeleton Lord did not succeed. The zombies he created did have human wisdom after centuries of evolution, but zombies also have many disadvantages. For example, their bodies will always be in a state of decay and decay. In addition, although they have wisdom, their ability to move has become extremely slow due to physical limitations and they cannot do delicate work.
As for your curiosity, why the Foley family mastered the "Ghost Castle", it was because of the confession of the Skeleton Lord... Because of his own fault, the death god fell, and the Skeleton Lord felt guilty, so he vowed to protect the family for life. This is why the Foley family, as descendants of the death god, has been able to survive after the death of Danatus. In, it is mainly because the Fuli family is protected by the Skeleton Monarch.
The Ghost Castle has a close relationship with the Fuli family, and it is also one of the foundations of the family. All the products in the Ghost Castle world will be supplied to the family as soon as possible, so the family controls the Ghost Castle. "
"Oh, I see! The atonement of the filial son... It seems that the family really has many secrets!" Qin Weijie couldn't help but sigh that the Fuli family really had many secrets that he didn't know: "Let's talk about the 'Lost Land', what kind of world is that?"
"The Lost Land is a world where wars are frequent. The entire Lost Land is a continent, which is similar in size to the European continent. The landform is high in the south and low in the north. There are many hills and mountains in the south. It is rumored that there is a creature called 'evil ghost' living south of the mountains. There are many plains in the north that are suitable for living and farming.
This world was discovered by the Fuli family three hundred years ago. After the family's understanding of the history of the Lost Land, we learned that the Lost Land has been ruled by an empire called 'Naya' for thousands of years. It was just that there was a problem within the empire about twenty years before we entered.
In order to guard against the invasion of the "evil spirits" in the south, the empire sent the imperial marshal Aceyrons to garrison the southern mountains. However, Marshal Aceyrons, who was stationed in the southern mountains, had fought for many years and had made great achievements. The royal family was worried that he would establish his own army, so they planned to suppress and balance the southern garrison. However, after years of division, the royal family's centralization of the entire continent was unstable, and the troops could not compete with Marshal Aceyrons, so they could only rely on external forces.
The external force that the Naya royal family relied on was the power of the church. The royal family allowed the religion of the Lost Land, the Tianyi Society, to grow stronger, intending to use the power of the church to check and balance Aselon. Unexpectedly, the royal family did not get what they wanted in the end. The church's repeated conflicts with the southern garrison finally strengthened Aselon's determination to support his own army. He established the Southern Kingdom in the southern mountains and started a war with the Naya Empire for several years.
It's a pity that the Naya royal family did not expect that the church had never been loyal to the royal family. They made a lot of money in the war, bewitched people to strengthen the power of the church, and took advantage of the situation to seize most of the land in the northern plains, and established the Tianyi Kingdom. In the end, a situation of three-way division of the world was created. So far, the Naya Empire, the Southern Kingdom, and the Tianyi Kingdom have been competing against each other, and the entire Lost Land has fallen into war. "
"It's just the war tactics of ordinary people. Is it necessary to explain it so clearly? "Qin Weijie felt like he was taking a weird history lesson and couldn't help curling his lips.
Tosta smiled and shook his head: "They are not ordinary people... There is magic in the Lost Land. The Tianyi Church believes in the Holy Light and masters the magic of light attributes. The Southern Kingdom is martial and everyone is a soldier. They have strong physiques and melee magic abilities similar to 'mad blood magic'.
