The Amber Sword

Chapter 955: Shenmin's legacy (1)

The three worlds in the dreamland should be sorted in chronological order. In the first dream, the room he was in should be located in the Babel Fortress—the text written on the ancient parchment scroll by the Mithril Society described this fortress as follows: “It is located in the center of the four corners of the heaven and the earth, among the golden clouds of floating clouds. Above, there is a palace carved with gold and jade on the cloud, and the people of silver in long robes walk on it, the bells ringing in the clouds, and the chants linger. 'Everything fits perfectly with the scenes he saw in his dreams. The eleven tall and beautiful humans should be gods, but they may also be a certain golden race—Although the Babel Fortress is a city of silver, There are also golden races. Although in this era, the golden race is only left with the dragon family, but in the tens of thousands of years before the destruction of Babel Fortress, there were many golden races on the land. Most of them are covered in the dust of history, just like the ancestors buried in Valhalla.

However, Brando still believes that the gods are more likely. The gods have black hair and golden eyes. This is very consistent with the legendary description of them. Although the golden eyes are the most famous external feature of the golden race, the black hair The gold ethnic group is very rare. As for the Miner people's eyes, they are actually between amber and agate, like a golden-red flame, not a pure color.

What's more, based on the things seen in the later pictures, the Miner people and the gods seem to have a very close relationship.

As for the three words of Truth Society mentioned in the mouths of tall and handsome humans, Brando is not the first time I have heard of it. Owina once mentioned that his authority is inheritance and truth society, but this authority comes from She didn't say which ability he possessed. Later, when he occasionally talked to the Dark Kouhua, the eldest daughter of Asis accidentally revealed some information about the Truth Society. Before the Silver Age of Babel’s destruction, or even longer, dating back to the first and second wars with the Dragon of Twilight, it was an era when the gods were still on the earth—a glorious era. The people of God and Martha created Vaughan and the gods and managed the world, just like the gods in the Pantheon. The people of God also belong to several organizations, the most important of which are the Truth Society, the Arbitration Chamber, and the World The tree organization (he is very suspicious of being the predecessor of the Druids of the Ring of the World and the Ring of the Sky), the Earth Guard, and a Gaia will that only exists in the legend and has never been shown in front of the world.

It's just that Brando couldn't tell from the situation at the time whether the "truths" in the mouths of those tall and handsome humans refer to "he" or "them". If it is the latter, then these people must be gods.

The second world in the dream should be the destruction of Fort Babel, the sixth war, the scene where the azure knight penetrated the sky and caused stars to fall to the ground. The dragon that runs through the sky is undoubtedly the projection of the dragon of twilight in this world. Although it is only a glimpse in the dream, it also left a deep impression on him. The golden red eyes above the clouds, and The coercive aura he had seen over Fattan Port that day was so similar, he was almost certain that what attracted at that time was definitely the will of dusk.

The destruction of Babel’s Fortress ended the age of God. Countless books and documents disappeared from this disaster. Fragments of civilization were scattered on the ground. The silver generation wandered through the wilderness, and civilization was almost completely destroyed. For thousands of years, a prophet led the Miner people to re-establish their empire in the Black Forest. Although the azure knight was the first dark dragon and left an extremely important legacy to the Miner people, but there is no document mentioning what this legacy is. The mainstream of today’s historians believes that the azure knight should It was the earliest Miner, and what he left behind was probably the golden bloodline of Miner.

In other words, long before the Miner empire was established, the Miner had already existed on the earth, and wandered in the wilderness with other silver people, regaining the fire of civilization. This conjecture is also in line with the development and reproduction of civilization. The establishment of an empire cannot be accomplished in a day. Just like the silver elves and the Buga, the Miner empire has grown and grown in countless years of ignorance. And their powerful bloodline laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of their empire, and that's why Maldos stood on the land of Vendre.

The third world in the dream revealed some secrets for him. These fragments of memory may be divided into several different eras. Walking through the cloudy mountains, it should be what happened before the first generation of Miner fled to the Great Plains. After the destruction of Babel Fortress, civilization and The order fell apart, the Miner and the silver people fled in all directions, countless civilized fires were lost on the wilderness: "The noble people forget the noble and elegant past and are lost on the earth. They hide in the mountains and forests, After a long period of time, I have forgotten everything in the past and moved forward in ignorance and thorns. 'It is this paragraph recorded in Cang Zhi's poem.

Then civilization sprouted in ignorance. He saw countless believers devoutly worship the altar towering under the sun, the birth of worship and superstition, and the fear of the gods that walked in the sky was actually the fear of order and civilization. Thousands of years later, the seeds of superstition and mystery bloom again.

But about this period of history, it is an ancient mystery in the orthodox historian of Vaughan. Some documents from the parchment scroll before the War of the Saints all mentioned the same one when describing this period of history. Words-Prophet. 'The Miner people appeared on the ground, and a prophet led them through the Great Plains, and established the first civilization after the gods far from Vond in the four-leaf clover field today. This is the Miner Empire and this is also a mortal. The beginning of the epoch. 'Among the silver elves, the Bugans and even other peoples that existed at the time, there is no doubt that there is a similar description: the legend of the Bugans records a traveling mage (Brando believes that it should be a traveling mage, because the description It is very similar to the legendary Matanians, they have the ability to travel and various worlds) in today's Silver Bay generation to teach mortal magic-different from the ancient string magic used by dragons, the predecessor of modern magic.

There is a legend of the prophet "Halodil" in the story of the silver elves. This legend has even been passed down to this day. Some legends describe Halodil as an elegant stag with the size of mountains and rivers. In the South and Eruin, people also believe that the white deer are a symbol of guidance, and they believe that they can guide lost hunters out of the forest.

These legends clearly point to the possibility that someone has spread civilization artificially in that era, and these people are likely to be the druids of the Ring of the World, because Brando saw them using the gods in the last few fragments of the screen. The scene of blood making monsters and Miner people. Miner people are the last golden people of the previous era. They are different from giant dragons and several other golden individuals. Miner people's single strength is far inferior to their predecessors. As golden people, there are only two most The obvious feature is also the golden blood and pupil color, and the second is that after perfecting the body, it will directly step into the realm of the golden body.

However, the Miner’s juvenile strength is extremely weak, and the average strength balance of the population is far lower than that of other golden races, and they also have a larger ethnic group-once all over the territory ruled by the Maldos Empire, and formed Dozens of legions, such a population is beyond the reach of most of the golden people.

According to the record in the poem of Cang-

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 border of the civilized world and planted fire. According to the literature of the Mithril Society, after the destruction of the Babel Fortress and during the Battle of the Saints, there have been two major divisions in the history of the druids, especially the latter one, which gave rise to the special tree shepherd. The group of tree shepherds once followed Odin and established a terrible tree shepherd army. After Odin’s failure, they fell apart and went underground. When they appeared in this world again, they had changed their faces and became lunatics. Organization.

It is very different from the unity of everything, which is also a cultist and the dead opponent of the same four temples. The shepherds worship the power of chaos, but they are only power. They are obsessed with stealing the blood of God. In order to gain the power of God and try to control the whole world, the world will think they are a bunch of lunatics.

But speaking of it, when did the tree shepherd’s tradition of making divine envoys originate

The fragmented picture in the dream seems to give the answer.

If the druids were already using the blood of the gods long before the split, this time could even be traced back to the very early time after the destruction of the Babel Fortress, then everything would make sense. The blood of the gods tended to be cut off after the destruction of the Babel Fortress, and it may even have begun to decline before then-Odin had the blood of the gods, but not pure, but in that era like his blood Being able to become the leader of the world of order is enough to explain the decline of this bloodline.

The people of God no longer appear in this world, just as the gods have moved away from Voend one by one. The decline of civilization has forced the Druid, the guardian of order, to choose a different path: using the blood of God to make the people of God reappear in the world. But I want to know how difficult it is. Even in the glorious era, the gods are nothing more than ethnic groups that create gold from the corpses of the gods.

From this point of view, the Druids can be said to have succeeded. They created the Miner-the most distinctive people of gold, but at least they are indeed the blood of gold. In a sense, the world The druids of the Ring took the place of the authority of God.

This is what he sees in the third world in the dream.

However, Brando believes that the druids have to create a race of gold with their own hands. I am afraid it is still a fantasy. He is more inclined to another guess: that the druids are fulfilling the forerunners. road. In other words, before the destruction of the Babel Fortress, the only surviving gods may have been working on extending their blood, but this experiment is likely to be interrupted or failed due to the invasion of the Twilight Dragon.

Judging from the age when the Azure Knight was born, he is probably the work of this experiment, that is, the first generation of Miner, and the most perfect Miner.

After the destruction of Fort Babel, the flames of civilization and countless documents once stored in that glorious city all fell apart. Some were carried by the refugees, but most of them were lost in the thousands of years of exile by the Silver People. . And everything about the final experiment of the gods was also scattered on the ground. The druids of the ring of the world who survived later may not know how to get a word about this plan, and then renewed it. Completed this plan.

And the completed Miner people are the Miner people who founded Maldos. Among these Miner people, the Azure Knight’s blood has been passed down from generation to generation, and it can be said that they are the purest inheritors of the gods, all the way to Odin’s. The end of an era was announced only when it fell.

Brando thought of the scenes in the pictures he had seen about the monsters created by the druids escaping into the forest, and he suddenly remembered something.

The concealed section in the poetry of Cang is about the end of the era of the silver people and the rise of the black iron people. How did the people of Dark Iron appear on the earth? He suddenly remembered this famous question. It was one of the most discussed questions in "Amber Sword". The ethnicities of silver and gold originated from the hands of gods. Now the Miner people also have them. The origin, but what about the people of black iron? According to historical records, the people of Dark Iron were subjects and slaves under the rule of Miner at the beginning of their birth. They were first barbarians in the forests and mountains. Later, they were influenced by the empire and possessed their own civilization.

This is the origin of the people of black iron recorded in history.

According to this statement, the people of black iron should be the native species in the black forest. From the records on the parchment scroll, this seems to be true—the people of black iron were called the people of silver and gold in the earliest era. They are hybrids, because these barbarians who walked out of the forest carry the same dark magical aura as monsters and twilight species. From the perspective of true order creatures, they should be essentially the same as monsters—especially those of that era. The people of Dark Iron do not have their own civilization, language and writing, and there are also humanoid monsters in the dark forest. The barbarians do not look much different from them in all aspects.

But there is one biggest difference between the people of Dark Iron and the monsters. They are true creatures of order. They can sense the power of the elements under Tiamat's law, and they can ignite the fire and develop the elements. This is the people of order. The most basic feature.

Facts have also proved this. The people of the Dark Iron quickly integrated into the civilized world in the subsequent era, and took the torch of civilization from the survivors of the silver, which continues to this day.

But are the people of Dark Iron really the native species

Brando’s mind repeatedly reproduced the scene where the druids created the Miner. Those sages who wore robes and were powerful. They created all kinds of monsters, giants surrounded by lightning, and flames. Pentium monsters, possessing all kinds of abilities, seem like superhuman beings. Hundreds of failed works were immediately killed. A few shivering Miners were abandoned in the wilderness by them. Some monsters who escaped by chance. Among the groups of civilized creatures, some caused wars, and some were worshipped as gods.

These monsters, they have a common name, they are called Divine Envoys.

It's like Akane, like himself.

Brando shook his head slightly, and decided to filter these mixed thoughts out of his mind, because there were too many guesses, and some were impossible to judge. These chaotic thoughts suddenly poured into his mind as he woke up. He keenly felt the shadow of the blood of the dark god behind, which means that this part of the memory should come from the blood of the dark god. It seems that the so-called Dark Orb is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at Sidney on the side.
