Chapter 16: Alien Visitors
In order not to reveal his secret, Kino did not dwell on the issue of alcohol content. He used his red and hot face to pretend to be drunk, his little head moved little by little, his eyes were sleepy, and he was mumbling something.
balderdash.
"Sir, you drank too much." Paladin smiled helplessly and poured a glass of water for Kino.
Kino pretended to spill the water with shaking hands, rubbed his apple-red face vigorously, and said quietly: "I shouldn't laugh at these strong drinks. I can hardly tell who I am."
Baisa made a joke: "You are like the Sun King in the history books. You are beautiful, but you are too drunk. According to legend, the Sun King got drunk for the first time, and his hot body burned up the entire lake."
Sun King.
Kino saw this name many times in history books, but because he was reading a general history, he did not understand it in detail.
Kino followed Baisa's words and put on a confused expression: "Who is the Sun King?"
"By the gods, you are really drunk." Baisa said in a cadence like a passionate orator, "The Sun King, the leader of the gods! He made farming and nomadic tools and lit up the first beam of civilization.
Light; invented language and numbers, so that ignorant and chaotic people had ideas; separated out a ray of their own soul to create unpredictable soul skills; defeated the immortal ancient dragon in the Dragon Blood Crown, allowing the dragon's blood to flow in the knight's body
; Alone to suppress the abyss of eternal darkness, bringing the distinction between day and night to the world; after death, he turned into the sun in the sky, allowing his subsequent followers to master the power of fire!"
It's very similar to the theological legends I heard before. Kino thought to himself.
Kino blinked his blurred eyes, burped slightly, shook his head and asked, "He was so powerful, why didn't he die in the end?"
Baisa sighed lonely and drank the wine in the glass: "Hey, you are right. Who would have thought that the great Sun King would die in the hands of "extraterrestrial visitors"."
Extraterrestrial visitors? Kino was a little helpless. What kind of ghost world is this? There are such things as extraterrestrial visitors.
Kino held his chin with his little hand, looking confused, and murmured: "I'm not very good at history, tell me about those alien visitors."
Baisa scratched his head: "It is recorded in the history books: 'They don't know where they come from, and they don't know where they are going. They fly invisible, just like being burned up in sparks.'... Since killing the Sun King 2700 years ago, visitors from outside the world have been coming.
It never appeared again. Some people speculate that the Sun King's radiance was too hot and burned those blasphemers from outside the sky, thus attracting attacks."
Paladin is a history buff and added enthusiastically: "It is said that in the "War of Eclipse" 2,700 years ago, the battle between the Sun King and the aliens changed the terrain of the entire continent. The weapons of those aliens were very special and did not require
Any chant can spread scorching sky fire and burn thousands of miles. The most powerful people raise their palms to split the sky and stamp their feet to break the ground. And their steel giant birds are faster than any ancient dragon, as fast as thunder. God is there
Come on, I really want to witness that scene with my own eyes!"
At this moment, Kino's pupils dilated violently.
In the eyes of the indigenous people of this world, the so-called "War of the Eclipse" is a magnificent history.
But in Kino's eyes, it's obvious that this is a reincarnation invasion!
The former Sun King was just like him now. He was a life form that was exiled to this world by the Supreme Being after refusing to sign a contract.
The deeds of the Sun King, such as making tools, inventing language and writing, are obviously things that modern people would do when they traveled to the world of ancient civilization.
The power to create soul skills, defeat the immortal ancient dragon, and suppress the abyss is some kind of genetic evolution, similar to the fear system of the three shackles in one's body.
As for the "outsiders", there is no doubt that they are the reincarnation team that invades this world with a hunting mission.
Spreading scorching fire from the sky and burning thousands of miles - a thermal weapon of mass destruction.
He is so powerful that he can tear the sky with his palms and crush the ground with his feet - a reincarnator who focuses on the evolution of the body.
A giant steel bird that is faster than the ancient dragon - a high-tech aircraft.
...
According to the timeline in history books, the Sun King was a figure 2,700 years ago.
So, in this world 2,700 years ago, there were "rejectors" like myself, who were exiled here because they refused to sign a contract, and finally died in the hunt of the reincarnation team?
But something seems wrong. According to the chronology of previous lives, 2,700 years ago belonged to the BC period.
An ancient person from the BC period traveled to the world of ancient civilization, and his knowledge would not be enough to create this kind of history.
Is he the Sun King, a genius with extraordinary talents?
Or...in the hands of the supreme being, time is just a toy that can be kneaded?
Paladin noticed something was wrong in Kino's eyes and asked tentatively: "Sir? Are you okay?"
Kino rubbed his face vigorously, pretending to be sober, and his eyes became clearer: "Oh, I'm sorry, this wine is too strong. Where did you just say it?"
"The Sun King."
"Do you believe in him?"
Paladin shrugged: "What difference does it make whether you believe or not? Although the Doguland soldiers talk about 'Glory to the Sun', only the royal family controls the power of the sun, and only their blood relatives can inherit it. We small soldiers can only
Can practice swords, spears and clubs."
Baisa raised his wine glass and shouted the first half of the royal family language in a joking tone: "I am the flame——"
The drinkers heard the sound, raised their glasses and shouted the second part of the sentence: "Light the way forward!"
The atmosphere was ignited, and the tavern was filled with laughter and laughter. Paladin, Baisa and others were already drunk, calling themselves brothers at other tables, and even jumped on the table, lifted up their clothes, and belly danced to the rhythm of the troubadour.
Kino sat in his seat, not reacting to the commotion around him. He was sorting out the information in the conversation in his mind.
He has always had a question: why did the Supreme Being throw him into this world?
This question also applies to the Sun King.
The Sun King was exiled to the ancient times of this world. He created tools, languages, and numbers, ignited the sparks of civilization, and led ignorant humans forward in the darkness. He can be said to be a god-like existence.
Kino believes that the Sun King faced more than one reincarnation invasion, but fell in the final invasion known as the "War of the Eclipse."
Chino even felt that he was not the second rejecter.
After the death of the Sun King and until his own arrival, in the 2700 years, there were probably many rejecters, but they were too weak to survive the hunting of the reincarnations, and were not known to the world, so they remained unknown.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Regardless of whether you are the second rejecter or not, the center of your thinking will not change: What is the significance of the supreme being doing this?
Want to create this world? Then why let the reincarnations hunt the Sun King?
Want to destroy this world? Then why bother to banish the Sun King here and let him lead human civilization?
The meaning of Kino's own existence is also the same. He still doesn't understand why the supreme being wants to turn him into a rejecter.
On the surface, it was a punishment for rejecting the reincarnation contract, but it gave him another evolutionary path - the triple shackles.
Entertainment? To treat this like a game?
unreasonable.
Now that he has reached the highest level of existence, his rationality and ruthlessness in thinking are already extraordinary.
It is not even certain whether it has "emotions" or "life". It is a mistake in itself to look at it with the same eyes as carbon-based organisms.
Create a strong person through constant conflicts and battles?
It's also unreasonable.
You can formulate a path for people to evolve, but you cannot directly let people evolve? You can teach them how to fish, but you cannot teach them how to fish?
The logic doesn't hold true.
Kino raised his head and looked at the ceiling, imagining that there was a pair of eyes that could penetrate billions of light-years, and just looked directly at it.
Without warning, he smiled.
Because he discovered...
