307 Tadaya

"Regarding the history of the empire, whether you adventurers or those who study those documents all day long, you can almost understand those things clearly, as if the Frey Empire is the only country in the entire Free Continent... Could it be that you just

Have you never paid attention to the history of the Principality?”

In the sunshine of the library, the old man in black robes flicked his hands and simply sat on a seat not far from the square table: "Although the history of the principality is just a bunch of countries' resistance histories."

"History of resistance?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully: "Hasn't the Fleur Empire always ruled everyone in the Free Continent?"

"Then how do you think the principality came to be?" The old man said angrily: "Did it appear on the mainland out of thin air and then become a natural opponent of the empire?"

"..."

After discarding the opposing camp designs that often appeared in the game in his mind, Duan Qing, who frowned and thought for a while, turned his attention to the text in his hand again: "Then... who does the so-called history of resistance refer to?

?”

"Many people." The old man's voice became low again: "Poverty, injustice, oppression... As these things become more and more numerous, the rule of Frey Empire will not last as long as its founder imagined.

, so later... the resistance from various places intensified, and in the end, it turned into a war that affected the entire continent."

"That was the second continent-wide war since the ancient Magic Empire." The old man's voice was like an echo from the horizon: "Except for the area around Redcar, almost everywhere on the continent... is at war."

"...It must have been a very tragic scene." Duan Qing responded in a low voice.

"Of course." The old man looked at the other person's face: "There are no undead people in a war, so... words like corpses everywhere are no longer enough to describe the world at that time."

"The Kods, the Feche, the Slugs, the Kalonmei...from north to south, from west to east, their corpses are everywhere." The old man's voice fell into a deep voice again: "Countless tribes

, countless races disappeared in the flames of war in that era, and never appeared again. The only remaining humans are the surviving humans, and...the descendants who carry their history. In order to commemorate these people,

Many people who lived locally, or later came to live locally, recorded this history together with their names, and then passed it down to today, and the collection they represented became the current principality."

"The Principality... has always been a loose organization, because it is composed of countless different races and people from different countries." The old man finally said: "The so-called strata, parliament, and this extremely inefficient system

The way of governance is also determined by this composition. Even today, these objective factors still exist, so..."

"So the principalities have never been united, right?" Duan Qing continued: "They... are still a large group of scattered countries, not a principality, right?"

"...Although it is very inaccurate, it is indeed like this." The old man nodded: "This is why these people...always like to quarrel."

"Well... I hope they still have a chance to continue the quarrel." Duan Qing thought for a while, and then showed a sarcastic smile: "The empire is close at hand, and the speaker is injured again. If these guys still like to fight,

Fight it... it's better to destroy it."

"That's not something you should be concerned about." For some reason, the old man's expression became serious: "Even if you are like me...well, that's all, this is just a warning."

"What?"

"You adventurers are naturally nosy." The old man shook his head: "Not only do you like to climb to the heights of power, but you also want to have a hand in everything. With so much energy, can't you do something?

Is there something more meaningful? For example, exploring the end of the Fire Land, or uncovering the secrets of Medariel..."

"The Land of Fire? Metariel? What is that place?" Then Duan Qing's eyes shined with light again: "Is it a famous secret realm on the Free Continent?"

"Your knowledge is still too little." The old man named Wiggins once again showed a pair of contemptuous eyes: "The Land of Fire is located in the northernmost part of the continent. It is also the hottest place in the entire continent, even in the cold

In winter, the hot wind there will dry out all the moisture in your body and burn your soul to death. As for Medariel..."

He pointed to the page in Duan Qing's hand: "According to legend, that is Tal'darin's hometown."

"What?" Duan Qing said in shock: "Tadalin's hometown? Aren't you the former ruler of the principality?"

"He is the founder, not the ruler." The old man shook his head: "There is still a big gap between the two."

He cleared his throat and then re-entered the memory mode: "At that time, the war against the empire was in full swing. A group of people wearing strange clothes suddenly appeared on the ground of this continent. They only showed a slight expression.

Because he was unfamiliar with this environment, he joined the resistance against the empire in an extremely familiar way. Then, with his excellent leadership skills and strong strength, he gradually became the center of the resistance and the mainstay in the fight against the imperial forces.

.”

"If placed in peacetime, their arrival would not bring anyone a sense of security. Unfortunately...it was an era of war." The old man sighed and said: "So...their tribe relies on countless military exploits and

The powerful influence established the later alliance, and that temporary alliance was the predecessor of the Principality of Ernifea."

"What about... Tania?" Duan Qing asked, holding his chin: "Is this where they established the principality?"

"Yes... and no." The old man shook his head: "This... is the place where Tadaya first appeared."

"According to historical records, even in the darkest era of the Provisional Alliance at that time, when the imperial front almost advanced to the east coast, they did not give up this place, the place where they first came. There were countless street battles and secret underground struggles.

, exploding in this place every moment, showing their determination to the world, at the same time, it also made the imperial troops at that time miserable and completely unable to stabilize their rear. The reason why the empire later became the continent

The countries that are best at stabilizing the front are precisely because of that time. Their experience in how to deal with occupied cities... was developed at that time."

The old man gestured with his hands in the air, as if he was a teacher teaching students: "Of course, during that process, many Tadaya tribesmen also suffered casualties, including many strong men who were praised and praised by later generations, such as Na

Taya, Dele, Fordson, Eliza Terrace..."

"That was an era comparable to ancient times." The old man sighed: "Although most of them did not see the dawn of victory later."

"Is there no one who survived?" Duan Qing asked, "survived to the era after the establishment of the principality?"

"Their fate... is almost similar to Tolia." The old man looked steadily into the distance outside the library window: "After the establishment of the principality, their people gradually disappeared from the stage of history, not in everyone's eyes.

Fading away from the eyes is to merge with people of other races. It is difficult to find their bloodline in the principality now. The only ones that can be found are the places where they have fought, and...the nobles who claim to be their descendants.

.”

"From this perspective, those nobles... still have some reasons to be proud." The old man shook his head helplessly: "Unfortunately... apart from that, they seem to have no use."

"Then..." Duan Qing thought for a while: "Then that Medariel mentioned before...where is it?"

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is this name." The old man laughed inexplicably: "In the past inspections, countless people claimed to have found Medariel, but later facts proved that it was not Tadaya at all.

My hometown is just an ordinary ruin. So..."

"According to my guess, that group of people... should be a group of real outsiders."

"Outsiders?"

"Yes, outsiders." The old man pointed to his head: "Visitors from outside the world."

"There is actually such a race in this world?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice.

"Of course... oh no, that's just my guess." The old man suddenly closed his mouth again halfway through, and then showed a mysterious smile: "Please don't take it seriously, thank you."

Please don't wear such an expression... Duan Qing thought sadly.

"According to the laws in this book, Medariel should exist on this free continent." The old man rubbed his waist, as if he was a little tired from sitting for too long: "It may be in Tani.

Nearby, or in a corner of the Free Continent, or sunk into the sea over a long period of time... But no matter what, it must exist, because... At the end of the Tadaya era, the principality

When it was first established, powerful warriors from several tribes mentioned some relevant content in the few words left behind."

The old man stroked his beard again and looked at Duan Qing, who looked confused: "Many people even left notes and statues, but... they were gradually erased by the nobles of the principality."

"Why?" Duan Qing asked: "Do they want to erase their own existence?"

"There are many opinions about this." The old man replied: "But the most likely theory is that the rulers of the principality need to get rid of their influence and consolidate their rule."

"The rulers of the principality? Aren't the rulers of the principality themselves?"

"No, those nobles to be precise." The old man continued to explain in detail: "It was not until today, hundreds of years later, that some parliamentarians representing the interests of the common people began to appear on the stage of history, and before that... the principalities of the principality

All battles are almost the playthings of nobles. The struggle and competition for power occur all the time inside and outside those big families. Countless families that were once glorious have been destroyed because of this, not to mention those powerful races that were once prosperous.

.The fall of Farah, the dusk of Laches, oh...and Fordson, he was one of the few remaining heroes at that time, but since his death, countless locals of the principality have robbed his inheritance and inherited

The power he left behind, and then used these things that did not belong to them, achieved their later glory."

"Could it be..." Duan Qing's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, that's the Fords family." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "They are the people who call themselves Fordson descendants. Many people also call them Fordson, just for this reason."

"As expected, he is a famous noble." Duan Qing touched his nose: "It fits their reputation very well."

"Have you... heard of them?" the old man asked with squinting eyes: "Is that guy Fortes... so famous now? Even an adventurer..."

"No, I just heard some rumors from some companions." Duan Qing waved his hand: "It's nothing."

"In that case...then listen to my advice." The old man closed his eyes and his face gradually became serious: "I know that some of you adventurers have dealt with nobles, but...

...No matter what rumors you have heard or what promises you have been made..."

"Don't - believe - them." The old man said every word: "Stay away from them."

***************************

Time passed extremely quickly, because under the guidance of the old man, Duan Qing listened to stories one after another and read books one after another. Of course, not only those related to the history of the Free Continent

The content also includes things in many other fields. For example, the existence of human beings on the Free Continent is much longer than the existence of the Magic Empire; and for example, the four major elements used by magicians actually have their original origins.

If you can obtain the power there, you will definitely become the strongest magician on the continent; for example, the establishment of the Warrior House was actually much earlier than the Mage Council, but at that time the Warrior House did not exist at all.

It was not for the purpose of unifying professions, but just an organization similar to a hobby club. Its internal management was much looser than it is now, just like a group of friends communicating together. Of course... he later learned that the former

Emperor Frey was once a member of the Warrior House.

"There are many more powerful people in this world than you think." This sentence inexplicably flashed in his mind. He shook his head and sighed, and then walked to the counter with exhaustion all over his body - one day

The fatigue caused by the copying was more serious than he imagined, although in the end... he was almost all listening, the old man was just there.

"You are a very patient adventurer." The old man's face was as hale as before, as if the spiritless old man who appeared in the early morning had never appeared before: "If you are willing, we can continue tomorrow...

"

"Hey, hey, hey! It's okay if you don't pay me, but you're still wasting more of my time?" Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party and raised his hands at the same time: "If this continues, I will be scolded by our group leader again.

Do you understand? If I don’t make any money and go back, what if I’m fired from the adventure group..."

"stand up……"

Suddenly a long voice appeared behind the counter, and the old man gathered his hands calmly and showed a kind smile: "I seem to see the emblem of the Council of Mages on your body... right?

?”

"ah?"

"How about bringing it to me and taking a look at it?" the old man said with a smile.
