In response to the request of his classmate Hislia, Assolan came to Butterfly again from the Holy Empire.
With the emergence of the Kingdom of Elves, Butterfly City has gradually become a popular gathering area for adventurers. Here, Asolon has recruited thousands of outstanding adventurers, including more than a dozen spellcasters.
There is nearly three thousand kilometers from Butterfly to Feather City. In order to reach the destination as quickly as possible, Assolan had to rent the most expensive caravan in the world——
【Golden Feather Caravan】.
For him who was born in the Agtram family, he could still afford the commission for the Golden Feather Caravan.
In this world, there is the only kingdom in the sky, but rather than calling it a country, it is more appropriate to call it an alliance, consisting of multiple flying island cities.
The kingdom in the sky, far away from the world, occasionally trades with countries on the ground, but the objects of trade are usually kings, lords, city lords, etc., and are never open to the public.
Speaking of the Kingdom of the Sky, we have to talk about a curse.
According to legend, when mankind was just born, it faced many survival challenges.
However, there is a group of people who live on the plateau, far away from the world, and are protected from floods, wildfires, wild beasts, etc. However, although there is no shortage of water on the plateau, they lack a lot of food, so they began to domesticate the people on the plateau.
birds of prey, using their power to hunt.
Over time, the people on the plateau became more and more sophisticated in domesticating birds, and the number of domesticated bird species increased and their sizes became larger and larger.
Eventually, they set out to take on the challenge of taming one of the world's most powerful raptors.
It is said that they are the daughters of the sun, living on the highest branches from the sun. They are the king of birds and the lord of the sky. Even giant dragons are afraid of their beaks and claws.
In the early days, they failed again and again until a young man appeared.
There is such a young man. He is the son of the King of the Plateau. He has the talent to train raptors since he was a child. At a young age, he can train huge golden eagles with a wingspan of up to ten meters. He is slender, two meters tall and strong.
His arms can easily lift a thousand pounds of stone. Underneath his burly figure, he also has a rosy face. Under the sun, his rosy face seems to be shining with light. Wherever he goes, he is astonished as a heavenly being.
The boy was born with the feeling that he was the most favored human being from the sky, the sun was his second father, and there was no one or raptor in the world who would not surrender to him.
So, he went to the highest mountain alone. Accompanying him was the golden eagle he had tamed. The golden eagle carried him up to the peak of 10,000 meters, where a kind of pure white tree grew and pure white flowers bloomed.
, which bears pure white fruit.
The daughters of the sun live on these pure white trees. They drink the iceberg dew from the pure white flowers, eat the pure white fruits, and are as untainted by the dust as the fairies in the sky.
The daughters of the sun were very surprised when they saw the young man's arrival, and told him that this was not the place where he should come. This was the place of the gods, and only those who served the gods could live here.
The young man told the daughters of the sun that he was the son of the sun, the most beloved human being of the gods, and the king destined to rule the plateau. Although he had a human body, he was the soul of the gods.
The daughters of the sun saw his extraordinary appearance, his majestic and proud appearance, his pink jade and white face, and the brilliance that seemed to overflow from his dark eyes as deep as the night sky, so they believed his words.
The daughters of the sun said to him, you are the son of the sun, and we are the daughters of the sun. Why don't we love each other and be together forever.
The young man readily agreed, so he took the most beautiful daughter of the sun, Princess Sun, to the plateau country and told his compatriots that he had subdued the most arrogant, beautiful and powerful raptor in the world.
The Sun Princess came to the plateau. She transformed into a beautiful girl and looked forward to the moment of signing a contract with the boy. However, the boy forced her to transform into a raptor. This is her proper mission.
The Sun Princess couldn't accept that the raptor was just her appearance. She transformed into a beautiful girl because she wanted to become a perfect match with the boy and grow old together.
However, the young man angrily rebuked that the beast was not worthy of being his wife, and put shackles on her hands and feet, beat her with a whip, and forced her to become a raptor, his mount, which would bring him endless wealth.
The Sun Princess wept like rain every day and wailed every night, but her voice could not be conveyed to her family and fellow villagers no matter what. The heavy shackles made it impossible for her to fly back to her homeland.
When the sun came out, the Sun Princess begged her father and wanted to return to her homeland. However, after leaving her homeland, she was no longer the daughter of the Sun. This was the punishment given to her by the Sun. The Sun had long since
He warned them not to be seduced or enslaved by the most impure human beings in the world.
The people on the plateau marveled at the young man's greatness. Under his command, the Sun Princess even captured the dragon for him, but at the cost of one of her eyes being blinded due to the battle with the dragon.
The boy received more and more admiration and compliments, and he became increasingly dissatisfied with the power in his hands, so he killed his father, all his brothers and sisters, and all his enemies. He became a true
Lord of the Plateau.
Then, the boy formed a large-scale raptor cavalry and drove the Sun Princess towards her hometown.
The daughter of the sun was overjoyed when she saw the return of her companions. But the next moment, the princess of the sun, who was overwhelmed by the heavy work of the young man, shed crystal tears after seeing her hometown, and wept under the pure white wood.
The young man showed no mercy to the Sun Princess. Instead, he released the fire and set fire to the homes of the Sun's Daughters. He captured all the Sun's Daughters, put them in shackles, plucked out the longest and most beautiful feathers on their bodies, and put them on fire.
One by one, they were driven out of the pure white forest and turned into domestic animals like other raptors...
After that, the Plateau Country grew rapidly and became the overlord of the sky. Their domesticated birds of prey brought wealth from all over the world to their arms, and the plateau no longer lacked food.
Gradually, under the service of the daughter of the sun, the people of the plateau lived in a honey pot and lived a luxurious life from generation to generation.
Until one day, the last daughter of the sun died.
In order to satisfy the plateau people's desire for a better life, they gave everything they could, and were not even allowed to have dignity...
Finally, the god returned. When he found that his garden had been burned and all his attendants were dead, he was furious. He scolded the sun. This is what you have done to the people who shine. Your son has brought the purest beauty in the world.
Defiled and destroyed.
The sun retorted that the boy was not its son at all, it was the fault of the plateau that gave birth to him.
Gao Yuan said, however, that the gods had not closed the gate to the Garden of Heaven and had nothing to do with it.
The angry gods, the ruthless sun, and the cunning plateau all quarreled over this.
But before their quarrel ended, the people of the plateau gradually forgot about the hard work of their hands to obtain food because of the countless birds of prey. As the birds of prey on the plateau gradually became extinct, they lost the source of food.
The people of the plateau pray to their mother plateau to give them more birds of prey.
Gao Yuan said helplessly that without the gift of the sun and the permission of the gods, raptors would never be able to appear in the sky again.
The people of the plateau said to their mother, kind and wise mother, we are your only children, how can you abandon us?
In order to save her children, the cunning Gao Yuan told the sun and the gods that she would never allow her children to enslave and dominate the elves (raptors) in the sky again, and longed for them to bring vitality to the world again.
Once upon a time, the people of the plateau will surely become harmonious neighbors with the elves in the sky.
The ruthless sun snorted coldly. There are too many things in this world that need it to take care of. With fewer raptors, it will sleep more comfortably.
The angry God quietly told the sun that she would never let them die so easily, let alone allow Gao Yuan to continue to be proud, otherwise she would continue to use cunning strategies to make them unable to rest in peace.
So, the gods and the sun said to the plateau, not only will we give your children birds of prey, but we will also let them live forever with no worries about food and clothing, as long as you promise us a sleep.
Gao Yuan readily agreed.
Finally, the gods and the sun together cast an eternal curse on the plateau and its people.
The sleeping plateau was split into several floating islands. Only when all the floating islands are united into one again can she wake up from her slumber.
The people on the plateau have grown wings that only birds of prey can have. They can only live on floating islands in the sky. Once the floating islands fall, they will die completely.
In order to keep the floating island high in the sky, they must constantly vibrate their wings to create the power of floating.
