When he came to the library, Li Wen directly found the "View of Continental History" mentioned by Helen.
With the help of the table of contents, I turned to the volume on Orcs.
The fate of the entire Gaia continent is constantly changing, and humans are not the eternal and sole masters of the Gaia continent.
The present is not the sole master, and the past was even less so.
In the long and recorded history of the continent, snake people, lizard people, dragons, elves, and orcs have all appeared on this big stage one after another, and each has written a myth and legend of its own.
Humans have appeared on the continent very early, but they have only been witnesses to those powerful races.
It was not until the past millennium that, under the leadership of the emerging human elites, it reached its current position as the hegemon of the continent.
Helen asked herself to look at the history of the orcs, and she would definitely not let herself look at the degenerated half-orc race that is now lingering in the Western Wilderness.
The most powerful period of the orcs dates back to more than 1,000 years ago.
Time passed slowly in the pages of the book, and Li Wen gradually read the entire history of the orcs recorded in the library from beginning to end.
The meaning of Helen's words obviously implies that the information clues of Blood Moon can be found in the history of the orcs, and should be very conspicuous.
So on the eve of the fall of the orc empire, about 40 years ago, a catastrophe called the boiling of beast blood came into Li Wen's eyes.
Before that, orcs had green skin, or some kind of gray-white skin tone. Their personalities might be warlike, cruel, and aggressive, but they were never so cruel that they would exterminate all other types of orcs.
Like elves and dwarves today, there are many subspecies of orcs.
Cat people, tiger people, trolls, tauren, etc.
Before the catastrophe when beast blood boiled, orcs of any subspecies played their respective roles in the entire orc society.
Cat people are good at mysterious abilities such as arcane magic, tauren are good at brute force, trolls are good at plundering and hunting, and the most powerful tiger people are the mainstay of the orc empire.
However, after the Beast Blood Boiled Catastrophe, the emergence of red-skinned orcs among each subspecies took the discrimination between subspecies to the extreme.
Each red-skinned orc wants to destroy all other orcs except his own subrace.
Even when it developed later, even the rest of the green-skinned tribesmen of their own subspecies were also destroyed.
The most terrifying thing is that these red-skinned orcs seem to be inherently more powerful than green-skinned orcs.
They are stronger, faster, and physically stronger.
And for a while, no one orc knew how these red-skinned orcs mutated, and no one knew when the remaining green-skinned orcs would turn into red-skinned orcs.
Facing the wave of these red-skinned orcs, the entire orc empire was caught off guard.
Even after reacting later, the green-skinned orcs worked together to integrate their forces and eliminate the red-skinned orcs in the clan, but they still treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.
There are still some green-skinned orcs who mutate into red-skinned orcs for unknown reasons.
Mutate, hunt, mutate, hunt.
Even though the green-skinned orc before the mutation was a close friend, once he mutated into a red-skinned orc, he was born with an evil tendency.
All orcs must be ruthless and swing their butcher knives at their own people.
This process almost lasted for quite some time, but there is no detailed record of how long it took because it was too old and the status of human beings at that time was not high.
After that, no major events occurred, and there were no warning signs. The frenzy of this change gradually subsided.
The internal strife and fighting that lasted for several years brought the entire Orc Empire to the brink of decline.
They did not engage in production for a long time, but their plundering and exploiting style made the elves, humans and dwarves who had been invaded by them for a long time form an alliance.
After a majestic victory, the orcs fell off the altar that dominated the continent of Gaia.
The red-skinned orc incident that caused the real decline of the orc empire was later called the Boiling Beast Blood Disaster by humans, elves and dwarves.
The "View of Continental History" naturally has corresponding speculations about this. It is believed that the orcs' bloodline comes from the wildness and difficulty of training the wild beasts, which has been accumulated over a long period of inheritance, resulting in an atavistic phenomenon.
No one mentioned the blood moon.
In fact, there is no specific information about the twelve moons. Apart from the collective name of the twelve moons, there is no information in any public book.
Since Helen mentioned the history of orcs when she mentioned the blood moon, I think this disaster of boiling beast blood is the influence of the blood moon.
In other words, more than a thousand years ago, the blood moon once reached the continent of Gaia, and its impact directly led to the fall of a powerful empire.
After coming to this logical guess, Li Wen only felt a slight toothache.
Why does it seem that none of the twelve moons are easy to mess with? The criticality of each moon will lead to a large-scale disaster on the continent of Gaia.
Moreover, why do they all happen to be within the short span of a few decades of their own life?
Targeting people, right?
After learning this news, Li Wen had no other purpose except to satisfy his curiosity.
History only made Li Wen aware of the possible harm caused by the blood moon, but did not provide a solution.
Such a huge orc empire couldn't even discover the truth about Blood Moon...
Of course, it is more likely that the "View of Continental History" that can appear in front of the public has made selective records.
After closing the book in his hand, Li Wen realized that it was completely dark outside the window.
However, under the not-so-bright moonlight, it seemed to have a dark red background.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but after blinking twice, Li Wen found it difficult to find any more clues to prove his discovery.
"Have you finally finished watching Spicy?"
Diagonally opposite, a young voice sounded lively.
It’s Miss Pie whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
But there is nothing we can do. Li Wen has not been to the library recently, so naturally there is no chance to see her.
As soon as he saw her, another figure jumped out of Li Wen's mind.
Miss Pie keenly noticed that Li Wen was distracted after seeing her, so she curled her lips and asked with some displeasure.
"Who are you thinking of?"
Li Wen said bluntly.
"Minister Eric."
They are all appointments at the library. When you see one of them, you will naturally think of the other one.
He also said that he wanted to study the Icathia Thunder Shower together, but so far he has not seen anyone.
"Oh~"
Seeing Li Wen getting up to leave, Aileen hesitated and asked.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's just...that old undead man has been a little weird these past two days."
"Strange?"
Li Wen's heart moved slightly and he sat down again.
"What kind of weird trick?"
"He spent money to buy a lot of chickens and ducks."
???
"What's so weird about this?"
Just greedy.
"But he has money and doesn't want to buy a corpse?"
"That's really weird."
"And I saw that the chickens and ducks had been drained of blood and then piled together in the corner without eating. Sometimes I even felt that the way he looked at me was a little strange and scary."
As she spoke, Miss Pie rubbed her arms with both hands, looking a little scared.
