In some conversations that seemed to be normal, the food on the table was quickly eaten up. The food was originally only prepared for one person of the old speaker, and now Ye Qi was added, so it was naturally not enough; but However, the two of them didn't mind at all, especially the old speaker, the smile on his face showed his happiness at the moment.
The old speaker leaned back in his chair, let out a long breath, and said, "I'm leaving Dude on the train tonight and going back to Ferro Town! Of course, I welcome you to play at my place... However, food and other things need Bring your own—if you don't mind eating fish every day!"
Ye Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Fish is too troublesome to eat. If I go to your place as a guest, I will bring some food to go... But, isn't Ferro Town a bit too remote?"
Xialin District is a very vast area. Except for the largest cities, Dude and Duobei, the surrounding cities are also prosperous enough. However, after crossing the original Great Plains, the prosperity gradually receded. The land below is still sparsely populated, relying on the road to connect the villages and towns in series, and Feiluo Town is at the end of this road. The whole town has less than 300 people in total. famous.
The residents there live by a small part of planting and most of fishing; although they are still rich, compared with a metropolis like Dude, there is a gap between heaven and earth; even, seriously Speaking of it, even the suburbs of Dude are not as good.
The old speaker waved his hand and said, "In a remote place, it's also my hometown!"
Ye Qi was startled, and said, "Where is your hometown?"
As far as he knows, the hometown of the old speaker should be in Dude, which is well known, but obviously, it is impossible for the old speaker to lie about such a matter; then, among them...
Looking at the thoughtful Ye Qi. The old speaker laughed: "It's not as complicated as you think. Although I grew up in Dude, my father came from Ferro Town... and now I'm just going back according to the track my father came to. —People always want to return to their roots!”
It was a sighing speech, and the old speaker said it with a smile; obviously, it was about his body. He is also very clear.
Ye Qi looked at the calm old speaker in front of him, he didn't have the slightest aura of 'strength' on him, and his body was even weaker than ordinary people, but there was a different kind of 'strength' in his heart; and No, so-called adjectives, or descriptions in words. But real 'power'!
The sudden appearance made Ye Qi completely defenseless!
It's like breath, mixed with will and belief, and the sublimated breath is similar to those strong men, but it is different, but it is 'truly powerful' even if he sees it. Facing this kind of deposited power, everyone will be surprised.
Bit by bit, Ye Qi looked at the calm old speaker before him and sighed. He seemed to have seen countless fragments of time, the application of gunpowder, the appearance of steam engines, and the use of electricity. Facing the helplessness of the gods, facing the hesitation of the sea and the wind and waves, one by one, one by one, never giving up, only the tenacity and upwardness of gritted teeth.
The sky is still controlled by the gods.
The ocean, so far, is limited by wind and waves.
but. On the earth, he and they are creating their own miracles... and opportunities.
Because this is the breath of an era.
The breath of such an era contains the painstaking efforts of countless people. Precipitated, purified, and stretched over time—the new speaker standing beside the old speaker has clear eyes and a firm face, just like the old speaker when he was young; inheritance is such a continuation, and it is such a accumulation.
Maybe it will take hundreds or thousands of years, but with the existence of these people... what are those
Ye Qi glanced at the old speaker and the new speaker, feeling the tenacity and courage in them, and then he remained silent, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
Desa, the new speaker, stood in front of the old speaker with Ye Qi's smile, and said solemnly: "I will guarantee with my own life that the highest government will not fall, but will only move forward, not with wealth, Everything that is not measured by power! I... swear!"
The old speaker nodded with a smile and said, "Do it well!"
Then, the old speaker stood up slowly, and staggered towards another door in the room. His back became more and more bowed, and his steps were heavy. However, there was a trace of joy on his face. Ye Qi stood up and watched the old speaker leave. Desa, the new speaker, had red eyes.
Neither of them said a word, just watching the back of the old speaker disappear behind the door.
Snapped!
The door was gently closed, leaving only Ye Qi and the new speaker in the room. The latter couldn't bear it anymore, but turned around; obviously he didn't want Ye Qi to see anything; About two minutes later, the new speaker turned around, and everything seemed to be back to normal, and everything before it seemed to not exist at all.
His back was straight, his eyes became brighter, and his whole body seemed to be filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.
Speaker Desa said with certainty: "Your Excellency the Dragon of Shaker, thank you for your visit!" After a pause, he said again: "On behalf of myself, and Lord Ayrin, I would like to express my thanks to you—for Victory in this war!"
"I need to deal with some things, your people, I will send you back to your apartment safely!"
Speaker Desa gave a slight bow behind him, then strode outside and returned to the banquet hall. Behind him, Ye Qi rubbed his chin and thought: "It seems to be a little different...more courageous and bold." Tough, is this the transformation under pressure?"
The strange wolf came out and retorted mercilessly: "If it's just pressure, we can't achieve such a situation!"
Ye Qi snorted coldly, and said: "It's not something a god should do to spy on other people's body at will!"
Weird Wolf rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Do you think I am willing? Your thinking like this is like shouting in my ear with a trumpet. I can't do it if I don't want to listen... Don't you respect my right to rest? It's very annoying to keep making noises in my ears all the time!"
Ye Qi would not be fooled by such words, he said coldly: "Under the power of the contract, such peeping is mutual... and I have never used such a right, are you reminding me?"
The strange wolf let go of his head, and said indifferently: "As long as you can do whatever you want—how can I be peeped by you with my heart like water!"
Ye Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "Then, we can try!"
"I look forward to it!"
Feeling that his contractor seemed to be 'really' serious, Weilang's heart trembled. It is very clear that if the perseverance of its contractor is really like that, it can't say well... However, it would be too embarrassing to say anything now. Therefore, the strange wolf pouted his neck and spoke stiffly, but in his heart he was thinking about how to deal with it, and at the same time secretly complained about his 'carelessness'.
It's abominable to be affected by that thing!
Sure enough, incomplete state. It's so inappropriate!
The strange wolf who was thinking in his heart couldn't help cursing in a low voice, and then his heart moved.
The strange wolf asked with his usual lazy mouth: "Do you know what that special 'breath of the times' is?"
Ye Qi shook his head and asked, "What is it?"
The strange wolf's lazy voice seemed to fall asleep, and he said intermittently: "Faith, a special kind of belief. A belief that can only be aroused in a few people, and then spread to the entire human being... It is different from religion, but it is similar In religion... a belief that I tried to get my hands on, but failed: it's very special!"
Inspired in an individual, spread to all mankind
Ye Qi narrowed his eyes, and then he subconsciously thought of the first two very general but distinct 'battles of faith' - kingship and theocracy.
The original kingship. Isn't that what the wolf said
Spread the reputation of one person throughout the country, with supreme majesty, be respected and loved by others; in war, always charge forward. The flags are flying, the drums are loud and clear, the territory is opened up, and the will of the individual begins to override everything, even the gods cannot stop it.
However, few of such heroic masters and Mingjun end up being perfect in their end, and they are all accompanied by some regrets or embarrassing sighs.
Ye Qi asked directly: "Don't tell me that the downfall of those famous kings had something to do with you?"
The strange wolf admitted without concealment: "I only participated once. I asked one of my priests to approach him and become his wife, but even that failed in the end—my believer hesitated in his heart. , she didn't know when, and in the end, she chose to return to my kingdom of God... and the king, sad and painful, stepped down from the throne and died in front of my believer's tombstone!"
Hearing such a familiar story, Ye Qi was stunned, and subconsciously said, "'Great Emperor' Delpa?"
The strange wolf nodded and said, "It seems to be such a name!"
Ye Qi sneered: "You guys did a great job!"
When he said this, Ye Qi felt a rare anger towards his contract partner in his heart, and such anger, of course, did not appear out of thin air!
'The Great' Delpa, the earliest founder of the wizard dynasty, can be said to be the originator of wizards, and is considered by all wizards to be the person they should respect; he was the first to use the 'blood spell' and completed the 'blood spell' The basis of the original system system, it can be said that if there is no foundation of Delpa's system system, then there will be no rise of wizards in the future.
However, compared with these, the reason why Delpa is called the "Great Emperor" is because he is good at fighting, and he has fought hundreds of times in his life. A piece of land—now Xialin District!
However, to everyone's surprise, Delpa abdicated at the most glorious time and passed it on to his disciple Hugh; and then disappeared...
Although Hull is also a shrewd and capable person, compared with the 'Emperor' Delpa, he is undoubtedly much worse; at least, people think that if Delpa did not pass on the throne, then the war between humans and alien races could have ended earlier One hundred years, and there will be no more battles with heavy losses after that.
And several times, it is almost the crisis of human genocide.
Although it was human beings who won the victory in the end, such a victory was nothing more than a miserable victory. After the war, the population was less than one-tenth. You must know that when the 'Great Emperor' Delpa was founded. The population of the entire human kingdom has reached 30 million... The death of more than 20 million people is due to the whim of a certain existence, and only a normal human being will be angry when he hears such news.
Ye Qi was no exception.
"If we are not connected by contract, I really want to kill you!"
After Ye Qi was silent for a long while, he said this, but for this, the strange wolf smiled wryly. It explained: "I also know my mistakes, and I am making up for them... In fact, it is precisely because of this kind of making up that that guy has an opportunity to get me to where I am now!"
Ye Qi said coldly: "I can say, do you deserve what you deserve?"
The strange wolf shrugged. Said: "Of course... But, don't you want to know what that guy did?"
"I can guess what that guy did!"
Ye Qi squinted his eyes and smiled, but this kind of smile carried a strong chill, as if it was the biting cold wind blowing from the winter forest area in the extreme north.
"You failed, and it was seriously injured. But compared to you, it is much better. You can arrange some means to let yourself enjoy the fruits of such victory—although it is only a limited arrangement of means, but for an existence like you For me, it is enough even after being restricted!"
"The wizarding dynasty collapsed and disintegrated under the leadership of the seven heroes, but the seven heroes ended up missing, and their successors were always surprised—people thought it was a curse, the curse of the sixteen wizard emperors, but now it seems But that's not the case!"
"Peace has been maintained for less than seventy years. It fell into disputes, and the kings and grand dukes of various places suddenly launched wars as if crazy, causing the population that had just recuperated to drop sharply again, and the entire Lorant It was a gloomy cloud, and the population didn't even reach the original three million... Then, six hundred years ago, the Holy See appeared—as a saint, saving the world and gaining unimaginable support!"
"And these four hundred years are called the Bloody Age! And this is what that guy did, right?"
Ye Qi asked.
The strange wolf nodded and did not refute. And Ye Qi snorted again, expressing his inner dissatisfaction and indignation, he said: "If I have a chance to appear there, I will make that guy regret why he made such a decision! "
The strange wolf agreed: "If there is such an opportunity, I will definitely help! But..." After a pause, the strange wolf asked again: "Don't you want to know why that guy did this?"
Ye Qi frowned and said, "Why? Isn't it just to fight for faith?"
The strange wolf laughed softly: "Of course faith is something to fight for, but that's just divine right, and its ambition is royal power!"
Ye Qi was startled, and asked back, "Royalty?"
The strange wolf nodded and said: "That's right, royal power - a belief similar to the divine right, but absolutely different, it is a key... That guy and I have reached a considerable level, among us quite At the level, those who are stronger than us have either left or fallen, so we don't know how to go further; therefore, we can only explore!"
"However, the emergence of kingship and the utterly different beliefs have given us hope—the combination of the two is our inevitable need!" Strange Wolf took a deep breath and said: "This is not a guess, but a fact... because , when the dead soul of the 'Great Emperor' Delpa entered my kingdom of God and reunited with my believer, my power was a little bit different... It also appeared on the earth, the king is my 'son' ' The rumors... At that time, I saw what I was looking for; but, alas..."
Recalling some of the history and legends he knew, Ye Qi said coldly: "It's a pity that Delpa's death caused the human empire to be surrounded by alien races again, and the perennial wars have reduced the population sharply, preventing you from getting what you deserve. 'King Power Faith'! Although you often send 'miracles' to help them, you still cannot stop the trend of war; or in other words, you want to stop it, but you are blocked by your old opponent... only limited Help, and in the end, the war was won, and the human empire built by Delpa has become a wizard empire blocked by wizards—compared with gods, they believe in themselves more!"
Ye Qi asked, "Is that right?"
The strange wolf nodded: "Yes!"
Ye Qi asked again: "Because you were angry, you became a life and death enemy with that guy, and started a protracted war. It was not until the destruction of the wizard dynasty that you finally decided the winner... and you, unfortunately, lost Already!"
The strange wolf sighed and nodded, "That's right!"
However, the strange wolf quickly emphasized: "That guy didn't win, and he hasn't appeared until now, which proves that we were both hurt at that time!"
Ye Qi said with disdain: "Both are hurting? I only saw that you are in deep trouble, and that guy's sect has become one of the three major forces in Lorant...even if it has begun to rot!"
The strange wolf laughed indifferently: "Then, let's speed up its decay!"
