Act 170 The Heritage of the People of God I
The three worlds in the dream should be arranged in chronological order. , ybdu, the room he was in in the first dream should be located in the Babel Fortress - the text recorded by the Mithril Society on an ancient parchment roll described this fortress: 'It is located in the center of the four directions of heaven and earth. Above the floating golden clouds, there are palaces carved with gold and jade. Silver people in robes walk on them. Bells ring in the clouds and hymns linger. 'Everything is perfectly consistent with the scene he saw in the dream. The eleven tall and handsome humans should be the people of the gods, but they may also be a certain golden race - although the Babel Fortress is the City of Silver, But there are also golden races - although in this era, only the dragon lineage is left among the golden races, but in the tens of thousands of years before the destruction of Babel Fortress, there were many many on the earth. Most of the golden race are buried in the dust of history, just like the ancestors buried in Valhalla.
However, Brando still believes that the people of the gods are more likely. The people of the gods have black hair and golden eyes, which is very consistent with the description of them in the legend. Although the golden eye color is the most famous external feature of the golden race, the black-haired people The golden race is very rare. As for the Min'er people's eyes, the color is actually between amber and agate, like a golden-red flame, not a pure color.
What's more, based on what was seen in later scenes, the Min'er people and the divine people seemed to have a close relationship.
As for the words "Truth Society" mentioned by those tall and handsome humans, this is not the first time Brando has heard it. Owena once mentioned that his authority is inheritance and the Truth Society, but this authority comes from She didn't say which ability he had. Later, when he occasionally talked with Dark Kou Hua, the eldest daughter of Isis inadvertently revealed some information about the Truth Society. Before the Silver Age when Babel Fortress was destroyed, and even further back, dating back to the first and second wars with the Twilight Dragon, it was an era when the people of the gods were still on the earth - a glorious era. , the gods and Martha worked together to create Warnd and the gods and manage the world. Just like the gods in the pantheon, the people of the gods also belong to several organizations, the most important of which are the Truth Society, the Arbitration Tribunal, and the World Tree Organization (he highly suspects that they are the druids of the Ring of the World and the Ring of the Sky). The predecessor), the Earth Guard, and a will of Gaia that only exists in legends and has never been revealed to the world.
It’s just that Brando couldn’t tell from the situation at that time whether the ‘Truth Society’ in the mouths of those tall and handsome humans referred to ‘him’ or ‘them’. If it was the latter, then these people must be people of God.
The second world in dreams. It should be the scene where Babel Fortress was destroyed, the Sixth War, when the Azure Knight penetrated the sky and caused the stars to fall to the ground. The giant dragon running across the sky is undoubtedly the projection of the Dragon of Twilight in this world. Although it was just a glimpse in a dream, it also left a deep impression on him. The golden-red eyes above the heavy clouds, and the The oppressive aura he had seen over Fatan Port that day was so similar. He was almost certain that what was attracted at that time was definitely the will of dusk.
The destruction of Babel Fortress ended the age of gods. Countless books and documents disappeared from this disaster. Fragments of civilization were scattered on the earth. The Silver Generation trekked in the wilderness.
Civilization almost completely collapsed and destroyed in the next ten thousand years. It took a prophet to lead the Min'er people to re-establish their empire in the Black Forest. Although the Azure Knight is the first generation of Dark Dragon, and has left an extremely important legacy to the Miner people. However, there is no document mentioning what this inheritance actually is. Today's historians generally believe that the Azure Knight should be the earliest Min'er people, and what he left behind is likely to be the golden bloodline of the Min'er people.
In other words, long before the Min'er people's empire was established, the Min'er people already existed on the earth, and wandered in the wilderness with other silver people, rediscovering the fire of civilization. This guess is also consistent with the development and reproduction of civilization. The establishment of an empire cannot be accomplished in a day. Just like the Silver Elves and Buga people, the Miner people's empire also developed and grew in countless years of ignorance, and their strong bloodline contributed to the strength of their empire. A solid foundation was laid, so there was the Mardos that stood on the land of Warnd.
The third world in the dream revealed some secrets to him. These memory fragments may be divided into several different eras. Traveling through the cloudy mountains, that should be what happened before the first generation of Min'er people fled to the Great Plains. After the destruction of Babel Fortress, civilization and order fell apart. The Min'er people and the people of silver fled in all directions, and countless civilized people The fire was lost in the wilderness: "The noble people forgot the noble and elegant past and were lost on the earth. They hid in the mountains and forests. After a long period of time, they forgot everything in the past. In the ignorance and thorns Move forward in it. ’ This is exactly what is recorded in Cang Zhi’s poem.
Then civilization sprouted in ignorance. He saw countless believers devoutly worshiping the altar towering under the sun. The birth of worship and superstition. The awe of the gods walking in the sky is actually the awe of order. Civilization The seeds bloomed again in superstition and mystery thousands of years later.
But regarding this period of history, it is an eternal mystery in the orthodox historical circles of Warnd. Some documents on parchment scrolls from before the War of the Saints all mention the same person when describing this period of history. The word—that is, the prophet. 'The Min'er people appeared on the earth, and a prophet led them across the Great Plains, establishing the first civilized empire after the gods left Warend in today's Clover Field. This was the Min'er Empire, and this was also the case for mortals. The beginning of the era. 'Among the Silver Elves, the Buga people and even other peoples that existed at that time, there are undoubtedly exceptions to similar descriptions: the legend of the Buga people records a planeswalker (Brando thinks it should be a planeswalker, because the description (who are very similar to the legendary Matatania, who have the ability to travel and worlds) teach mortal magic in today's generation of Silver Bay - different from the ancient string magic used by dragons, the predecessor of modern magic.
In the story of the Silver Elf, there is the legend of the prophet 'Haroldil'. This legend has even been passed down to this day. Some legends describe Haroldil as an elegant stag as big as mountains and rivers, all white, so today in Cruz South and Eruin. White deer were also believed to be a symbol of guidance, thought to guide lost hunters out of the forest.
These legends obviously point to the possibility that someone artificially spread civilization in that era, and these people are likely to be the druids of the Ring of the World, because Brando saw them using gods in the last few fragments of the screen. Scenes of monsters and miners created from blood. The Min'er people were the last golden people of the previous era. Different from the giant dragons and other golden individuals, the Min'er people's individual strength was far inferior to their predecessors. As golden people, they have only two most obvious characteristics, which are golden blood and eye color. Second, after perfecting their bodies, they will directly enter the realm of golden bodies.
However, the larval strength of the Min'er people is extremely weak, and the average balance of the population's strength is far inferior to that of other golden races. Moreover, they also have a larger population - they once spread throughout the territory ruled by the Mardos Empire, and formed With dozens of legions, this kind of population is beyond the reach of most golden people.
According to the records in Cangzhishi——
The golden people were born from the blood and corpses of the gods and were created by the gods.
Then everything that follows can be explained.
The druids of the Ring of the World were once the most important guardians of order in the world. They monitored the spread of the Black Forest on the borders of the civilized world. And plant the fire. According to the documents of the Mithril Society, after the destruction of Babel Fortress and during the War of the Saints, there were two major schisms in the history of the Druids, especially the latter one, which gave rise to the special genus of tree shepherds. A group of tree herders who once followed Odin and established a terrifying tree herder army after Odin failed. They tore apart and went underground, only to reappear in the world. It has transformed into a lunatic organization.
It is very different from the Unity of All Things, which is also a cult and the enemy of the four temples. The tree herders worship the power of chaos, but it is just power. They are obsessed with stealing the blood of gods. In order to obtain the power of gods and attempt to control the entire world, the world will think that they are a group of lunatics.
But speaking of. When did the tradition of tree shepherds making divine messengers originate?
The fragmented images in the dream seemed to give the answer.
If the druids had been utilizing the blood of God long before the split, and this time could even be traced back to long after the destruction of Babel Fortress, then everything would make sense. The bloodline of the divine people tended to be cut off after the destruction of Babel Fortress, and it may even have started to decline before that - Odin has the bloodline of the divine people. But it was not pure, but in that era, a bloodline like his could still become the leader of the world of order, which is enough to illustrate the decline of this bloodline.
The people of the gods no longer appear in this world, just like the gods are moving away from Warnd one by one. The decline of civilization forced the druid, the guardian of order, to choose an alternative path: using the blood of gods to bring the people of the gods back to the world. But even if you think about it, you know how difficult it is. Even in the glorious era, the gods only created a golden race from the corpses of the gods.
From this point of view, the Druids can be said to have succeeded. They created the Miner people, the most distinctive golden people, but at least they are indeed the blood of gold. In a sense, The druids of the World Circle represent the authority of the gods.
This is what he saw in the third world in his dream.
However, Brando believes that it is still a bit fanciful for the Druids to create a golden race with their own hands. He is more inclined to another guess: that the Druids are fulfilling the unfinished tasks of the forerunners. road. In other words, before the destruction of Babel Fortress, the only remaining gods and people may have been working on continuing their own bloodline, but this experiment was likely to be interrupted or failed due to the invasion of the Dusk Dragon.
Judging from the age when the Azure Knight was born, he was probably the product of this experiment, the first generation of Miner and the most perfect Miner.
After the destruction of Babel Fortress, the fire of civilization and countless documents once stored in that glorious city were all scattered. Some were carried out by the refugees, but most of them were lost in the thousands of years of exile of the Silver People. . And everything about the final experiment of the gods was also left on the earth. Later, the surviving druids of the World Ring may have obtained a few words about this plan through some unknown means, and then resumed it. Completed this plan.
The completed Min'er people are the Min'er people who established Mardos. Among these Min'er people, the blood of the Azure Knight has been passed down from generation to generation. It can be said that they are the purest inheritors of the gods, all the way to Odin's Death marks the end of an era.
Brando thought of the scenes he had seen of the monsters created by the druids escaping into the forest, and he suddenly remembered something.
The hidden section in Cang Zhi's poem is about the end of the era of the people of silver and the rise of the people of black iron. How did the Black Iron People appear on the earth? He suddenly remembered this famous question, which was one of the most discussed questions in "The Amber Sword". Both the silver and gold races originated from the hand of God, and now the Miner people also have them. The origin of , but what about the Black Iron People? According to historical records, the Black Iron people were subjects and slaves under the rule of the Min'er people at the beginning of their birth. They were first barbarians in the forests and mountains. Later, they were influenced by the empire and had their own civilization.
This is the origin of the Black Iron People recorded in history.
According to this statement, the Black Iron People should be the native species in the Black Forest. Judging from the records on the parchment scroll, this seems to be true - the Black Iron People were called the Silver People and the Gold People in the earliest times. They are called hybrids because these barbarians who came out of the forest carry the same dark magic aura as monsters and dusk species. In the eyes of true creatures of order, they should be essentially the same as monsters - especially that one. The Black Iron people of that era did not have their own civilization, language or writing, and there were also humanoid monsters in the dark forest. The barbarians looked not much different from them in all aspects.
But there is one biggest difference between the people of black iron and monsters, that is, they are true creatures of order. They can sense the power of elements under the law of tiamat, and can ignite fire and develop elements. This is the people of order. The most basic characteristics.
Facts have also proved this. In the following era, the people of black iron quickly integrated into the civilized world, and took over the torch of civilization from the remnants of silver, which continues to this day.
But are the Dark Iron People really a native species?
Brando replayed the scene over and over again in his mind when the Druids created the Miner people. Those powerful sages wearing robes created all kinds of monsters, giants surrounded by lightning, flames, etc. Running monsters, superhuman beings with various abilities. Hundreds of failed works were immediately killed. A few trembling Min'er people were abandoned by them in the wilderness. Some monsters escaped by chance. They wandered into the group of civilized creatures, some caused wars, and some were worshiped like gods.
These monsters have a common name, they are called angels.
It's like Akane, like an existence like himself.
Brando shook his head gently and decided to filter these complicated thoughts out of his mind, because there were too many guesses, some of which were impossible to judge at all. These chaotic thoughts seemed to rush into his mind as he woke up. He keenly felt the shadow of the Dark God's blood behind him, which meant that this part of the memory must have come from the Dark God's blood. It seems that the so-called dark orb is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Sidney beside him.
