The Secret of the Giant Rune in the Eternal Battlefield Chapter 11 The Origin of the Dragon Man
"What should I say? Do you need me to change now?" Sophia took out the jade ring and put it on.
Romani shook his head. "I'm not in a hurry."
"No, if you want to change, it will be your simulacrum. And if you plan to do so, you shouldn't let Cindy leave directly. You can just fly with him and it will be over." Esther knew the mage's affairs very well.
"Let's go over and take a look at the situation first." Romani's curiosity as a mage is not inferior to that of Sophia.
"Forget it, it seems that you also want to investigate the history here. You have plenty of time anyway." Esther said.
"That's true, but since they put us here instead of sending us directly to Huilong Island, I guess not all the dragons agree with our coming. In addition to investigating and exploring, our trip this time also allowed those dragons to meet
Let’s look at our methods.” Sophia had a different opinion.
Romani released his familiar raven, and based on what he had seen in the sky before, he estimated the general direction and walked towards the abandoned village, hoping to meet those cursed dragons.
Sofia recalled the approximate location of the building she had just seen in the sky and judged the direction of travel.
Romani then ritually casts the Phantom Pony and Tan Sen's Floating Disk spells to carry people, so that it can be transformed into a simple carriage to pull the friends forward.
Huff stood aside with a shield. He didn't have anything to say in this discussion, so he didn't have any special position to participate in.
The familiar that flew up to see it was in the same direction as Sophia's memory, and it wasn't too far away. With a magic mount, it could be there in an hour. "At least it's faster than walking."
"Dragon people, I'm curious as to why they are said to be cursed. Even if they are enslaved by the chromatic dragon, they wouldn't be said to be cursed, right? What do you think?" Sophia asked.
Not far away, there were wild boars in the forest foraging for food. The last time the five of us had a good meal was more than ten days ago.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten well. This wild boar looks very fat at first glance." Esther pulled out the Hongming knife and went up to butcher the pig. He was going to carry the meat and roast it on the carriage before setting off.
"Count me in." Amon excitedly called out his sword and prepared to go hunting together.
"I'm responsible for lighting the fire." Sophia used her mage's hands to collect firewood.
Behind Sophia was a Holy Spirit of Vengeance, a simulacrum, and two Pegasus, which was enough for a crowd.
Simple ingredients combined with high-end cooking methods finally present wild mushroom and pork skewers, wild vegetable stew and naan soup, which are magical changes in life.
"This kind of wild boar meat is not castrated, so the taste will be stronger, so don't expect too much." Romani said while using magic tricks to season the wild mushroom and pork skewers to make it more delicious.
But he was quickly slapped in the face, and Phil, who had no seasoning, ate it with gusto.
Esther tore into large pieces of meat and ate it very roughly. From time to time, he would even take out a rib and hand it to Phil. Of course, he did not let go of his eyes to observe the surroundings. This was the instinct of an explorer.
Sofia let the loli Sofia simulacra feed her while keeping a record of the current situation.
As for Harv - his body won't get sick anyway, and even if he is poisoned, it can be cured by holy treatment, so it doesn't matter all the time - when he is doing tasks outside for a long time, it is possible to eat any kind of food, and it will take turns.
Don't let him find fault.
As for Amon...it's still unknown how much taste this body still has, so it's not a big deal.
After a good meal, the five people set off towards the abandoned village with a bunch of summoned creatures. They quickly arrived at their temporary target, a village of fifty stone houses located next to the forest.
"It seems that the number of people is not too small. It's hard to say how friendly they are." Esther set up an arbor to see if there were any creatures moving outside.
"I don't know if there are any villagers in this village. It looks a bit dilapidated depending on the situation." Sofia didn't think there were people here. After all, the bricks were covered with moss and the walls were covered with ivy.
"It's okay, it's a small village." Romani got off his horse and let the crows fly around in the sky to check out the situation of the village. At this time, a few birds fluttered their wings and flew away. There were no large living animals here. "It looks like
It is indeed abandoned, and the well in the center is full of thorns. Let’s go in and see what else is left in the house.”
Just in case, Harv released his sacred perception to detect whether there were evil creatures nearby, but there was no evil aura in the sacred vision.
Esther held a sword and shield, and Phil sat on his shoulders. Phil entered the village holding the chess pieces in his hands.
"Judging from these, I don't know what kind of village it used to be." Amon held the big sword and looked around.
Sophia took the simulacra and the Holy Spirit into the village to search. After a simple search, no paper records were found, but there were still some discoveries. There was a cellar in a larger house. The space under the cellar was not small and there were many hidden things.
slate.
She used magic tricks to brush off the dust on the slate, put on her lenses, read and recorded them carefully.
There are not many words written on the stone tablets, so they are all the most important information. The leader of this village is called Sylph, an immortal woman with red wings on her back.
Like Noel, she was also one who bathed in dragon blood. But as she slaughtered a large number of red dragons around the world, her dragon transformation became more and more serious, and eventually her mind was completely separated from humans.
After that, she took the other Dragon Vein Warlocks in her team and came here. This is the village, or the origin of the Dragon People.
"The person who bathes in dragon blood...does this person have a grudge against the red dragon?" Romani complained, although the colored dragons are all evil.
"The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon." Sofia felt strangely. "Noel should not become like this, well... probably not, his character would not allow him to do such a thing."
But not all dragons are born this way. Dragon eggs that fail to hatch can also be transformed into dragons through rituals.
This ritual requires a lot of biomass to be successful, and the source is sinful humans. "By killing the sinners...and then hatching the dragon people..."
"I didn't expect that this small village would be the place where dragon people first lived. Hmm... too many dragons were killed and the dragon transformed into a human being. And this ritual, is this the reason for the cursed comment?" Sophia said from
Judging from the time, aside from the several important events experienced by the village for the locals, the story after the rise of human beings follows.
The war between the giants and the dragons was completely over, and the giant civilization was almost completely extinct. The dragons reached an agreement with the elves and humans and voluntarily evacuated here.
Sophia did not see the content of the ceremony, such as the number of times it was held, the number of transformations, the time, the origin of sinful humans, etc. It showed that the Dragon Man Transformation Ceremony was borrowed from the Dragonborn Transformation Ceremony, but with the fall of the Dragon God,
The dragonborn transformation ritual has been lost.
The records of the village continued with several more events related to natural disasters, and it was always Sylph who led the dragon people through the disaster.
The last sentence recorded on the slate is, The red dragon is coming, and it was carved in a hurry.
"It seems like it happened a long time ago." Romani walked out.
"Well, it's been a long time." Sofia asked the others to go out together.
"The war of giants? It sounds like it has something to do with the giant runes you care about, Romani." Esther said.
"Well, the Immortals also mentioned the war between giants and dragons." Romani nodded. "I don't know why the giants were defeated in the end."
"However, according to the information I recorded, after the war, the giants fell into a deep sleep. The records here say that even civilization was almost completely destroyed, huh." After Sophia finished speaking, she thought of what Cindy had said about the dragonborn, and they and
Metal dragons live together, but not much more. The Eternal War first started as a struggle between chromatic dragons and metal dragons after the War of the Giant Dragons, and later evolved into a war between dragons and dragonborn.
For some reason, dead dragons are extremely easy to be affected by negative energy. If they are not dismembered, they can easily turn into skeleton dragons and launch indiscriminate attacks. However, skeleton dragons cannot fly. So far, the bones of the dragons who died in the eternal war have been thrown away individually.
of islands.
The island on the left, that is, to the west, used to be a place where humans and elves lived together. There was also a huge city, which is now the island with negative energy. It is easy to think of it.
The island to the east was even more unusual at the time, with space rifts connecting the four inner planes. At that time, there were all kinds of elemental creatures everywhere, and the place was quite chaotic.
"Perhaps sleeping is also part of the demise of civilization." Amon said.
"After all, as time goes by, the giants should have lost their source of power and gradually become weaker." Sofia confirmed based on speculation: "It should be because the original giants came from an alien plane and were away for too long, so they could no longer give them anything.
Provided strength, so the dragons overwhelmed the giants."
"It seems that when the dragon clan came here, they also brought many humans and elves with them. It's a pity that the city is shrouded in negative energy, otherwise I would like to see with my own eyes the place where humans and elves live together.
"After all, according to records, the relationship between humans and elves has not been so good since the age of elves." Sofia, who had experienced various discriminations by elves before, couldn't help but sigh when she saw this record.
"Is it the island that sank into the Shadow Realm of Eternal Darkness?" Amon frowned. "It's not hard to imagine what kind of hell it is there now."
"Then where have the dragons who originally lived here gone?" Romani asked: "Could it be that they were defeated in the war and disappeared completely? From Cindy's description, it doesn't seem like it. But from this perspective
Said, it is more normal now, which reminds me of the floating city, which is also connected to the four elemental planes... Maybe the technology of the floating city also originated from the city in the east."
