When Inheim's sentence "The one who really told us the news about the Angel Alliance...is actually Widnina..." came out, Liu Yifei was already completely confused.
Whatever world view, whatever values are...go to hell!
Is there anything more unbelievable and deceiving than these historical facts?
Speaking of real world history...
That’s a lot of water too!
Let’s not talk about the distant ones, even the modern history of the Celestial Dynasty... How many things have been tampered with and fabricated for various needs and purposes?
As for the rise and fall of distant emperors and dynasties, and how many amazing historical truths are buried in them, it is impossible for outsiders to tell clearly except for those who are lucky enough to have witnessed them!
Liu Yifei naturally understands these things.
But he never expected that the "ancient history" in this game would actually play such a trick!
When it comes to "history", it is still involved in the game "Heroes of Might and Magic OL".
There are basically categories of "historical questionnaires" in the "libraries" of various ethnic groups and large cities.
General modern history may be of some use to players, because these war locations or abandoned cities recorded in modern history are likely to be real "treasures" for players!
These places are naturally extremely dangerous, and finding treasures is definitely not as easy as imagined, but as long as you prepare carefully and be careful, you will definitely gain a lot of rewards.
Therefore, there are really many "archaeological parties" appearing in the game nowadays!
These are usually players from small to medium teams.
Those who are unable to get involved in "territory" on their own, a development model that requires large investments, and who don't really want to become subordinates of a certain NPC lord and tie themselves to a territory, have become true "adventurers".
After forming a mercenary group or a guild, these people explore around all day and night. Just like the real adventurers in the knight novels, they look forward to "getting rich overnight".
As the player's strength improved and their understanding of the game deepened, some people soon discovered the benefits of "following history"
Go to those ancient battlefields or modern ruins, or find valuable equipment, or a treasure hidden by a former lord, or else it is an untouched virgin copy...
In short
Nowadays, more and more "archaeological parties" have appeared in the game, and the reason why everyone joins this ranks with such enthusiasm is naturally because of the substantial benefits that can be seen.
But if "modern history" is of some use, "ancient history" and even "ancient poetry" are pure nonsense!
The requirements for accessing these things are extremely high. In addition to reputation and territory contribution, you often also need to meet a series of "retrieval tasks". The most embarrassing thing is that you need to complete a bunch of tasks just to look up a book of information!
After a few people tried it, they found that this thing was basically a "mythical story", more akin to a wild history novel, so gradually no one cared about it.
Even Liu Yifei doesn't bother to look up ancient history. At most, he just digs out the historical truth while chatting with some high-level NPCs.
However, what he never expected was that today he would actually dig out such explosive information...
"Can't believe it?
hehe
Very normal.
In fact, let alone you, even if I experienced that period personally, looking back now, I still feel that everything was so incredible...
In fact, there are big holes in the historical narrative.
You can think of it this way.
After Princess Catherine married to the Enroth continent, how did she master the specific information about the super artifact on the Entagre continent so accurately?
The family secret of the Eagle Heart Dynasty?
It's not impossible.
But the problem is that as early as during the reign of the late king ‘Lion Lion-faced Vulture Heart’, the dynasty had already shown signs of decline.
Not to mention the attitude of foreigners towards Erathia. Even within the kingdom, the powerful lords in various places began to gradually ignore the central laws and regulations. Sometimes various current affairs orders issued by the central government were not implemented at all at the local level.
The centralized power of the central government has declined to a very dangerous level!
If this were not the case, why would Erathia behave so badly when the undead army invaded the border?
You must know that although Emperor Lien is old, he is by no means an incompetent person. If we hadn't advised him, the furious emperor would have gone on a personal expedition long ago!
If the Vulture Heart family really has always held the secret of the whereabouts of the Angel Alliance components, then why didn't they retrieve the artifact in time in the early stages of the Shadow of Death campaign?
Why didn't Emperor Lien continue to expand his territory without using the power of the artifact?
At least, in western Erathia, Emperor Lien never lacked the idea of annexing Crurod.
Although Bairdes in the southeast has a relatively harsh living environment, it also has warm and humid fertile land in the marginal areas.
Since you know a little bit about the ancient history of the Entagri continent, have you never doubted the reason?"
Got it!!!
Liu Yifei is now completely convinced!!!
When he was obsessed with the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Liu Yifei had a crazy idea! That was to map out the entire Entagori continent with the help of the game's campaign map!
The game itself does not provide a complete world continent map, but the map in the campaign is not fictional either.
In the past, it would have been relatively troublesome to reversely derive the world map from the game map, but nowadays, the maturity of virtual mirror technology and the advancement of computer technology have made this idea an extremely simple and feasible plan.
It only took two days, and Liu Yifei really sorted out a rough map of the Entagri continent!
And if Liu Yifei remembers it correctly...
Located in the southernmost part of the Entagri continent is Brakada. Going up is Erathia, and the west of Erathia is indeed Crurod, the barbarian Gobi Desert, and between Brakada and Erathia.
The eastern and southerly location of Lathia is Bairds, which is known as the location of the "Dwarf Tomb"...
Inheim must have never expected that Liu Yifei would be able to "confirm" his words. However, such frank words further proved that he was not deceiving Liu Yifei.
As a result, Liu Yifei became even more interested in this little-known historical secret!
"...So, in fact, with a little speculation, you can know that the news about the Angel Alliance is not a family secret of the Erathian royal family at all.
So where could Queen Catherine learn such secrets?
Enroth's Iron Fist Dynasty?
Stop joking!
The Angel Alliance is our native artifact of Entagre and has nothing to do with the barbarian country over there. How could they have any news about our native artifact?
Therefore, this is just false news used by later scholars to cover up the truth...
And in the final analysis, the news about the Angel Alliance that Vidnina learned was actually from Sandro...
One thing I have to admit is that Sandro is indeed an unparalleled genius!
For a long time, even though Sandru had conquered the Royal City of Erathia, I was quite unconvinced by that guy. I felt that he was just a little more cunning and lucky, and that's why he gained so much.
Only powerful artifacts can control the wind and rain on the continent of Entagre.
But it wasn't until we came into contact with Vidnina that we, including my mentor Ronis and Adela, realized how wrong we were...
Sandro was one of the few powerful warlocks in Brakada who could master all four elements of magic at the same time, but he seemed to be particularly fond of various offensive spells. He was born with extremely high attainments in magic!
Ordinary offensive magic is much more powerful in his hands, such as meteors, fire showers, chain lightning and other high-level magics, which are even more of a disaster when he uses them!
But what most people don't know is that Sandro's talent is not only reflected in the control of magic and spells, but also in the in-depth study of ancient books and biographies.
What is known to the world is that Brakada's "Warlock's Great Library" had the largest and most comprehensive collection of books on the Entagri continent at that time, and no other place could compare with it.
When Sandro was studying in Bracada, he spent almost all his free time in the library, and what he read was not books about magic knowledge, but various historical and heroic biographies.
.
His "special" and "closed" nature also caused him to be unpopular with his peers in Bracada.
However, what is astonishing is that he discovered the first pot of gold in his life based on these ancient books that looked more like stories and myths than biographies!
He actually followed the obscure clues in an unknown ancient book and found a giant magic power amplifying crystal called the 'Heart of the Master' during his study trip!
This secret has never been known to anyone, and it was only later that Vidnina heard about it from Sandro.
At that time, Sandro had no evil thoughts, and after finding the 'Heart of the Master', he simply handed it over to the reclusive 'Immortal King'.
Then, the Immortal King came forward and rewarded Sandro with the powerful magic weapon discovered by Sandro as a testimony to his title of 'Excellent Warlock'.
At that time, some people asserted that this 'Heart of the Master' was one of the top three magic amplification crystals in Brakada, and if it was embedded in a staff...even if it was embedded in a dead branch
can instantly turn it into one of the top ten most powerful magician staffs in Brakada!
You know, on this staff ranking list, the first position belongs to the artifact in the hands of the Immortal King - the 'Stand of Time and Space'! Therefore, this ranking is definitely the greatest affirmation of the magic amplification crystal.
!
It's just that Sandru himself is a foreign student from the continent of Enroth after all. Although he is highly regarded and praised by Lord Magnus, but he suddenly received such praise, the other warlocks of Brakada naturally felt jealous.
Even some great warlocks and even warlock mentor-level figures began to dislike Sandro...
Perhaps it is the exclusion of these people that makes Sandro more lonely and cold. You know, as a foreigner who came here to study alone, and with the reputation of an immortal genius, his heart must not be so relaxed.
of.
In short, Widnina said, Sandro's life in Lingxiao City was not easy after that.
And as those guys became more and more exaggerated, Sandro increasingly buried himself in various ancient books and ancient myths, until..."
"Until he found out the secret of the cursed armor!"
An idea flashed in Liu Yifei's mind, and he almost subconsciously snatched the truth!
Cursed armor, hiring Kenlohag... isn't this the prelude to Sandro's entry into the historical stage?
I see!
I see!
Everything can be explained!
In fact, Liu Yifei once secretly thought about
In the background introduction of the stand-alone version of Heroes of Might and Magic 3, it is indeed vaguely mentioned that Sandro is a foreigner who came across the ocean from the continent of Enroth to study. Therefore, Liu Yifei once laughed at himself seemingly jokingly: "Those Entagari
People in mainland China are such idiots that their treasure was found by an outsider..."
At that time, Liu Yifei was just joking while playing games. Unexpectedly, Longsheng Group filled in this vague plot in the historical background of the online version!
"Indeed, until he found out the secret behind the Cursed Armor.
The legends of these powerful equipment have actually been circulated on the continent of Entagri. Even three-year-old children in some places can tell them as fairy tales, because these powerful artifacts have been accompanied by various kinds of weapons in the history of the continent.
All kinds of heroes flourished for a time! They left behind dazzling legends
But I don't know since when, these peerless artifacts have disappeared one by one.
No one can say where they went, or whether they were destroyed, or simply disappeared.
Now that I think about it, those heroic owners probably felt that these instruments were too powerful and dangerous. Once they fell into the hands of someone with sinister intentions, they were afraid of causing disaster, so they completely decomposed them. They even sealed them and transformed them into other forms.
, scattered everywhere...
Noble phantasms and artifacts can be hidden. But the whereabouts of a hero can never remain unknown.
Even if heroes try their best to disguise themselves so as not to alert others, they will inevitably be noticed by outsiders during the journey. Therefore, there will be some legends in history or unofficial history about great heroes suddenly appearing in various small places.
And these seemingly nonsense legends were discovered by Sandro, a genius, and systematically put together...
Even the great sage Ronis said that he is an archaeological genius!
If he is willing to immerse himself in knowledge, I am afraid that Brakada will give birth to the next immortal king.
It's a pity that he still has hatred in his heart and has greater desires and ambitions! So he embarked on a completely different path
Widnina actually only noticed Sandro at that time. She often went to the library to read various magic books, and also noticed Sandro, who had been ostracized by everyone, and the strange books he read. And then
...She actually fell in love with this person who shouldn't be loved.
Vidnina said that before the cursed armor, Sandro had actually discovered several more powerful pieces of equipment by taking advantage of his study tour!
It was just that during this process, he never took it out again, and always carefully hid it. At the same time, Vidnina later learned that Sandro used his spare time to study undead magic during his study tours.
Bracada was forbidden, but Sandro wanted more time and more power, so he did it anyway
It was precisely because he had already mastered a large amount of undead magic that he quickly transformed into a skeleton during his subsequent escape. Even before he left Brakada, his attainments in undead magic were already considerable.
.
But the matter of the cursed armor was still too serious. At that time, Sandro also felt that he was being watched. He suspected that the Immortal King might be suspicious of him, so he had to pretend to be Kenloha.
Grab that idiot's hand to hunt for treasure or even win it!
What Sandru didn't expect was that Ken Lohag's idiot didn't seem to have a very good mind, but he had good strength and luck, and he actually found all the components!
But afterwards, Ken Lohag realized that he had been deceived and wanted to go to Bracada to find Sandro to find out. Moreover, Sandro could no longer hide what he had done in private, so he finally chose to flee brazenly.
, completely leaving Bracada, a place that could no longer 'satisfy' him.
Of course, he has also sorted out all the information about other artifacts. In order to prevent others from discovering similar secrets in the future, or from someone finding a treasure that even he has not discovered, he simply went completely crazy and evil.
Sandro's fire burned down the entire Warlock Library!
According to my subsequent speculation, perhaps this was the main reason why Lord Magnus was so furious at that time.
Because, even with the supreme power of the Immortal King, it is impossible to restore the big book.
That fire burned not just a building and a pile of paper and ink, but also countless years of knowledge accumulation and glorious history of Bracada..."
