Act 131 Empire Year 0

When the Dark Dragon was passed to Odin's generation, the civilization and rule of the Min'er people reached its peak, but under the prosperity was a discordant note: at that time, the protagonist on the earth was not the one who now occupies the Vander The dominant Black Iron People are just barbarians in the mountains and forests, and the main members of the Black Iron People, humans and mountain dwarves, are all vassals of the Min'er people. The Min'er people had a very indifferent attitude towards the people of the Black Iron, especially the Dark Dragon. When Odin's generation arrived, the empire became aggressive and aggressive, and became more and more harsh on its vassal nations. Odin once conquered the humans on the Great Plains to build a group of fortresses on the glaciers. , and migrated the dwarves into the Cloud and Mist Mountains. In these two great migrations alone, the dwarves and humans lost nearly half of their population.

The Min'er people still do this to their own vassal peoples, not to mention other Black Iron people, usually with bloody suppression. As for other races other than the Black Iron People, they did not pay attention to them. At that time, the Silver Elves and the Mist Elves had already had their own kingdoms. Although most of them were isolated from the world, they still had to interact with the outside world. However, the Min'er people were aloof and ignored these silver people. They only looked at the Buga people who established a city on the Shining Coast at that time - these wizards were said to be the tower keepers of the Tower of Babel, Ochidu. Descendants of scholars.

As for the dragons, that era was in the midst of the famous Otto Rebellion, and they had no time to care about anything else, let alone deal with the outside world.

The Min'er people became more and more proud day by day, and their rule became more and more harsh. One day, clusters of contradictions erupted like a volcano. As recorded in history, the opportunity came from Odin ordering the fog elves to coordinate with the Miner people to go to the Great Glacier to participate in the battle against the barbarians. This order deeply hurt the sensitive and arrogant self-esteem of the fog elves, so of course they were merciless. He refused this unreasonable request.

Odin was furious and immediately ordered Sebos to lead an army to attack the Laurel Forest where the Mist Elf Kingdom was located, which was the trigger of the War of the Saints. This begins the Yuyue War between the Miner people and the Mist Elves.

"He has no choice but to be angry," when the Queen of Winds said this, she sighed to herself: "Odin is a smart man, he has seen all the conflicts within the empire, and he wants to use it to make us surrender. To shock others, but what he didn’t expect was that we dared to refuse.”

Odin acted too hastily. Brando frowned and thought that when he accepted the inheritance of the Dark Dragon, he had met the Miner Emperor once in a dream. The impression the other party left on him was... He is not the kind of headstrong person, but when he tried to figure out the mentality of the elves, he made a huge mistake - the silver people also have their own pride, and the mist elves are not vassals of the Miner people. How could it be possible to surrender to the Miner people?

Saint Osor saw his face and knew what he was thinking. She shook her head and said: "The will of the Dark Dragon is not so easy to reject. You can't imagine how powerful the Miner people were in that era. Brando, you know that the Silver Elves are brave and good at fighting, but they may not be able to win even if they face the Miner Legion. Let alone us."

"Then you..." Brando asked in confusion.

"We were warned in advance." Feng Hou replied word for word.

"What!?"

"We have a promise from the Buga people," the Wind Queen said slowly. Slowly said: "In fact, the mainland has been dissatisfied with the Min'er people for a long time. Needless to say, there is no need to say more inside the empire. Outside the empire, no one wants to be a marginalized person, whether it is the silver elves or the fog elves. The Buga people The promise was like an opportunity for us. Soon the Silver Elf also joined this secret covenant. Coincidentally, as if it was an arrangement of destiny, at this time, the man who was defeated by Min'er The human resistance army was suppressed by humans. Under the leadership of the Lord of Fire, Gilt, they crossed the wasteland and returned to Warnd——"

"We signed the covenant that has been passed down to this day in the White Rock Wilderness today, which is the oath that you call the Holy Covenant. From then on, the War of the Saints began, and everything that happened after that was also It’s you who knows.”

When Brando heard this, he did not ask questions, because he knew that these were histories he was familiar with, and what the elf sister was going to tell him today must be another unknown secret. Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Feng Hou spoke again: "But in fact, there are several doubts in the entire Holy War. The biggest doubt is - later we privately confirmed with the Buga people that the reason why they participated in the war was because We got the promise from the dragon, but before that they didn’t send any invitation to us.”

"...As for the giant dragon, the situation is similar."

Brando raised his eyebrows, faintly smelling conspiracy in this passage.

"Girt, the King of Fire, received mysterious guidance before he walked through the dark wasteland. In the early years, Gilt, Faenzan, and I used to adventure together on the continent, although he later became the leader of the resistance. We lost contact after that, but I believe that he will not lie on this issue - not to mention that Faenzan and Airanta have similar experiences."

"In other words, there is actually a force behind the War of Saints, and this force does not belong to any one of humans, elves, wizards or dragons?" Brando finally couldn't help but stop. He stepped down and asked.

Fenghou also stopped. The former sage looked at the vast and blue sea of ​​the sublime inland sea outside the cloister. There was an inexplicable brilliance in his light purple eyes: "Yes, actually I met that person later. On the one hand, her name is Sophia and she is a witch."

"Female... witch?" Although Brando has had various answers in his mind before, he never thought about the special group of witches. They are the loyal followers of the Dark Dragon, and even sometimes To this day, even if they openly oppose the world of order, they have not given up their beliefs at all. Not to mention, the Queen of Witches is also the former mistress of the Miner Empire. How can such a group betray the Miner people?

The Queen of the Wind nodded: "This group of witches are the witches of the Queen of France. They and the witches of the Black Moon of the Thirteenth Month are the two most unique witches in the world of witches. Sophia is not her name. They are the witches of this group. The orthodox successor of each generation is called Sophia, just like the Dragon of Darkness. After the War of the Saints, she personally found me and told me all this."

"Why?" Brando asked in confusion.

"Because of the Black Prophecy."

"Black Prophecy?"

The Queen of the Wind skipped this question and asked herself: "Brando, do you think a smart man like Odin would fall into his own trap? Is it because he trusts the witches too much? No , not so. Later I thought about it carefully, and I’m afraid he already knew all this. When we started the uprising, even though humans, dwarves, elves and bugas, there were also a few other ethnic groups such as dwarfs and halflings We are united together, but we are not sure whether we can truly defeat the empire. The power of the Min'er people is beyond the imagination of today's people——"

This is the second time she has said this, but to St. Osol, Queen of the Wind, it seems to be a matter of course. Because the Miner Empire ruled by the Dark Dragon is so terrifying. "But they were defeated after all." Brando comforted. "No," Fenghou shook her head decisively, "It's not as simple as you think, Brando. From the beginning to the end, only the legions of Sebos and Tumen were involved in suppressing our uprising. Sebos belonged to The Dark Dragon's forbidden army, and Teacher Tumen's, are just militiamen. The Min'er people have seven legions, and these seven legions have never appeared in the entire War of the Saints."

"What!?" Brando was really surprised this time. If the seven legions of the Miners did not appear in the early stages of the War of the Saints, it could be explained that they did not pay attention to it, but it was not until the Four Sages and Sebos After the decisive battle, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Miner dynasty had come to an end at that time, and even the Dark Dragon Odin himself had to participate in the battle himself. Under such circumstances, the possibility that the Min'er people are still hiding their clumsiness is too small, unless the so-called seven legions of the Min'er people are nothing but a complete scam. But is this possible?

Fenghou continued: "In fact, until we invaded the Alkash region, we all thought that the Dark Dragon had arranged a trap to make us convinced that we had won. The only ones who had doubts were most of them. In our hearts, more or less, we feel that our little power may not allow Odin to go to war in such a big way. It wasn’t until Odin personally participated in the battle and lost that we dared to believe that all this was true. In fact, it has always been In the final war, Odin did not use his strongest power."

At this point, she paused: "You are also a planeswalker, Brando, do you know what kind of power a real planeswalker has? It is extraordinary power, the power of a world. This power is in the planeswalker There is a self-contained system in the world, and the power we have, whether it is magic or physical strength, is basically two levels of power. Unless we can use the power of the entire world to fight against the self-contained system of the Planeswalkers. The power of the world, otherwise we would not be able to win. To put it simply, the planeswalker himself is actually a god. He is like a god who came here from a distant world. He controls all the rules of that world. The entire world All creatures and powers unconditionally obey his orders. To fight against him, one must first become the god of our world. But as we all know, the god of our world has long been far away from the disputes of the world. So, theoretically, we are It is impossible to defeat Odin..."

"But the planeswalker also needs to grab resources. He cannot squander his power without limit. Odin just changed a way to grab power from this world to support the power of his world. You only need to find it from this source. The way to defeat him is not without hope of victory, and in fact, isn’t that exactly what you did, Lord Fenghou.”

"You, like us at that time, have overestimated the problem, but the problem is that the Dragon of Darkness is not just one person. He can draw power from us, and he can also draw power from other people. As an emperor of an empire, with so many people supporting him, will he really come to fight us alone?" St. Osol asked calmly as if he had been prepared for this question.

Brando was stunned. He remembered that Master Fenghou didn't say this last time, not to mention that it wasn't described this way in history: "But he came to challenge you single-handedly. Is it because he is too confident?"

"Odin is no longer a young boy. He is the supreme leader of a huge empire. It is impossible for him to do reckless things for such a false reputation... In fact, Faenzan and I saw some clues during the battle. Later, Odin asked us to keep his secret before he died, which also confirmed my suspicion."

"He asked you...four sages to keep secrets for him. What secret was that?" Brando asked this question and realized something was wrong. He quickly made up for it: "I'm sorry, I mean...if it's inconvenient, forget it." He suddenly thought that since the Wind Queen said these words, the four sages must have agreed to Odin's request at that time, Tula Some of the things that Man had said to him before also proved this point from the side. In this case, he could not let Feng Hou be a person who broke his word, let alone a hero like the Four Sages. It is also unlikely to go back on one's word.

But unexpectedly, Feng Hou himself shook his head indifferently and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I came out today just to tell you the truth. I have thought about it. Since you are the person chosen by Odin, there are some things that should be given to you. Know."

Brando closed his mouth, but frowned slightly. He suddenly heard a farewell meaning from the elf sister's tone. He vaguely felt that this wise man had been with him for so long and took care of him like an elder. I'm afraid I have to choose to leave. Saint Osor pondered for a moment, then slowly answered: "The secret he asked us to keep is very simple, that is, to make the outcome of the Battle of the Saints an established fact. In fact, he had already anticipated all this, and he told us Some things, the Dragon of Twilight never really died. The first generation of Dark Dragon, the Azure Knight, only seriously injured it and sent it back into the Sea of ​​Chaos, but the clock hand of the Doomsday Judgment never slowed down. .”

"There is such a legend in the Black Prophecy, saying that heroes will be born from mortals. Holding the key of destiny, open another door for the future of this world. That is after the twilight of all things and gods, order rises above the ashes. After experiencing the disaster of Babel Fortress, civilization was once lost on the earth. Many people - including people of our generation believed that the hero among mortals was the Azure Knight. Because he was He caused the stars to fall to the earth and ushered in the age of mortals.”

"However, fate played a cruel joke on us. This is a secret that only a few people know. Since the establishment of the Miner Empire, they have been engaged in a tragic war with the Twilight Legion outside the elemental boundary. Therefore, Warnd has A short respite."

Elf Sister smiled slightly, a little tiredly: "We thought we were doing the right thing, the War of the Saints was just a war against oppression, but from the very beginning, we guessed the beginning, but not the outcome. It happened to be one of our own who gave the Dark Dragon a fatal blow from behind. At the last moment of the collapse of the dynasty, Odin ordered the seven legions to permanently station outside the elemental boundaries, and he joined forces with several other planeswalkers to seal the This is the last gift he left to us. He is a stupid guy, but this gift is precious. This gift consumes the energy of him and everyone around him. Strength, therefore, became the reason for his inevitable failure.”

The Queen of the Wind sighed softly: "In fact, this is also the reason why the witch betrayed him. Odin does not believe in fate. Everything he wants to do is to prove that everything said in the Black Prophecy may not be right. The world does not necessarily need to be destroyed before it can be reborn, and there will never be a savior. But the witches firmly believe in the power of prophecy, and the end of the world is bound to come. Odin has proven that he is not the person in the prophecy, so Miner People must make room for the people of the Black Iron. They are waiting for the final prophecy of the Black Prophecy to arrive. The witches of the Moon of Law are the executors of this prophecy."

Brand has been unable to speak for a long time. He has actually guessed some of the facts, but it was only confirmed today: This is the inheritance of the Fool. It is the arrogant struggle of a person who does not know his own abilities. Although it is extremely ridiculous, it is worth letting go. People always remember.

Because people will never bow to fate——

Everything was revealed, and he couldn't help but touch his chest. In a sense, he was also the person who overestimated his capabilities. Whether it is in the eyes of noble Eruin, the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess, or in the eyes of others, perhaps even the Buga people who support him behind the scenes, and even the people around him, may not be able to understand his ideals. I know that many people only stand by him because they firmly believe that he can change something, and may not agree with his true thoughts deep in his heart.

What exactly does he want this world to be like? Brando did not answer, but his eyes had already crossed the sublime inland sea. He knew that there, outside the boundaries of civilization, there were countless unexploited lands. Civilization does not have to be trapped in one place, and the power of dusk is also It's not invincible.

These ideas are somewhat incompatible with this quagmire world, even too far away. Just like the Cruz people can never work hand in hand with the Faenzan people, it is impossible for the wind elves to integrate into the human world without reservation. , not to mention the undead, and countless troubles and contradictions. But will he become a fool like Odin? Brando felt that he couldn't answer the question he asked for a while. It might be possible or it might not be, just like he didn't agree with all of Odin's ideas.

"Maybe the problem isn't here." He said slowly.

"The glorious deeds of the four sages and the covenant of hundreds of tribes on the mainland may not be a mistake. Odin may be doing what he thinks is right, but there are many ways to accomplish one thing. He firmly believes that fate can be changed. But he regards himself as the savior——"

Brando looked at the magnificent scenery under the fleet. The thick clouds dispersed like cotton wool blown away by the wind, revealing the glittering sea surface, but he was thinking about more things.
