The magical battle that took place unknown how long ago ended completely after more than an hour. The scene on the light screen gradually faded, but the devastated earth and discolored sky remained in the hearts of Cohen and Crow forever.
From any point of view, this is a height that is still beyond the reach of human beings today - if the conditions are relaxed, the Sibia Empire can barely maintain a large-scale, long-term magic battle, but that requires mobilizing the magic of the entire empire.
Only strength can do it!
According to statistics from the Sibia Liaison Department, there were only three magicians with serious insufficient gold content in Bis Continent at this time, two of which belonged to the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness. Their majors in magic were healing and combat amplification.
The last magician who came from a magic family was able to practice all types of magic, but he was not outstanding in any type of magic. He is currently on the list of the NATO Treaty Business Group.
Therefore, this battle that was lost in time brought more than just shock to Cohen and Crow. For Crow, this battle that was obviously not a fabrication triggered a resonance deep in his body, which made him happy.
It excites him, but makes him distressed even more! Because his body feels very familiar with such an intensity of battle, but there is no relevant memory in his mind - it's like standing outside his former residence and seeing the familiar roof through the greenery.
, but can never find a way to enter.
As for Cohen, he is already the Cohen positioned in this world and generation, and emotionally, he strictly corresponds to a member of the human race and the leader of the Sbia Empire. So when this scene unfolded before his eyes,
What he was thinking in his mind was much more complicated than that of a crow. Apart from those realistic and even utilitarian thoughts, there were also other things.
"Now, you should have a rough estimate of the development of magic in the world I know well, right?" After the last bit of light that formed the light curtain disappeared, the watcher's voice sounded: "In this case, then our topic can be
Continue."
Cohen and Crow could only nod silently, facing the backwardness calmly, which was not an embarrassment to them.
"Please understand, I don't know how many years are between your world and my world, but I am sure that this period of time will not be short, and one thing is certain, humans are still humans, and the Light Clan and the Dark Clan still exist.
." The watchman laid the foundation for his words: "In accordance with the mission, I will now present everything I know in front of you."
Soft light beamed from the edge of the magic circle and connected into a circular light curtain surrounding the entire magic circle, even spreading to the top of the head. Mountains, rivers, cities and towns emerged one by one on it. Cohen and Crow seemed to be high in the sky,
A bird's eye view of a strange yet familiar world...
Scenes like this should be commonplace for emperors like Cohen, because the most prosperous and powerful empire on the Bis continent is Sibia, and the most magnificent thing about Sibia is the holy capital and the city, and
Cohen is already extremely familiar with these two cities. What’s more, when he traveled home several times, Cohen has already seen the majesty and beauty of other countries. To be fair, it is difficult for any scenery to surprise him, especially
It is a man-made landscape.
But what appeared on the light screen at this time really surprised Cohen, because this scene has surpassed the current Bis continent as a whole, too much. In other words, such a scene can only appear in Bis.
In the beautiful dream of mankind!
A city on the plain appeared on the light screen. It was surrounded by several canals and fertile fields. Six roads extended out in a radial pattern, connecting countless small towns along the way. The city wall outlined its boundaries, and the area within the wall was almost as large as the surrounding area.
The city is ten times larger. Calculated based on ordinary capacity, the city can accommodate nearly a million households! Cohen, who has been emperor for many years, is well aware of the relationship between population agglomeration, the state of the empire, and production capacity. When it comes to food alone,
One thing, this requires an extremely powerful agriculture to support it!
Not to mention that the city is reasonably divided. Each block performs its own duties and together protects the palace complex in the center. There are buildings on both sides of the street, there are fountain sculptures in the square, and green carpets in the park... There is no lack of beauty in the majesty, but there is no lack of beauty in the compactness.
And embellished with soothing.
A high wall stretches out from the side of the city and stretches to the towering mountains in the distance. At the connection point of the mountains, a castle built on the mountain stands majestic and upright, like a standing giant, guarding the long pass at its feet... beyond
In this layered mountain range, another basin appears, but this place is more luxurious and avant-garde than before. In addition to the terrifyingly large cities, there are also huge dams that cut off the rivers, and windmills scattered like dots in the wilderness.
, the wide and crisscrossing roads...
What is strange are the geography, cities, architectural styles, and even everything more detailed, but the humans living in them feel extremely familiar, because they are no different from today's humans!
The same shape, the same way of life, the same joys and sorrows, but they were physically strong and energetic. Their physical fitness was much better and much richer than the people of Sibia today. They wore bright clothes and traveled around.
Their car was extraordinary... Even the streets under their feet were paved with colorful tiles! This sight that was hard to hide made Cohen's mouth twitch a few times. Colored tiles? You must know that this is not the inner courtyard of a palace or a wealthy mansion.
, but just an ordinary street!
"It is impossible for mediocre people to stand on the altar of life, so I will make a long story short." The words of the watcher were full of strong pride: "What you are seeing now is my world, the world that mankind once had-Hile Continent.
!”
"Hile Continent!" Cohen repeated the name word for word, almost gritting his teeth.
"Hile Continent is a warm land, a great cause of great prosperity created by Emperor Hillel the Great! What you are seeing now is the period of Hilleel III, which is also the most dazzling moment of Hillel Continent!" The watcher's words gradually became passionate:
"Regardless of people's livelihood, politics, military and culture, the human world has reached breathtaking heights! Here, there is the largest empire, a sound and mature political system, and the most suitable martial arts and magic for humans! Humans can imprison the wind
Fire can generate clouds, thunder and lightning, and can expand and contract space! Every day, every moment, human beings are exploring forward and making progress. Even relying solely on human power, we can change the face of the earth and the direction of rivers!"
In front of the image on the light screen, Cohen was silent, but his eyes turned sharp. The crow standing next to him could understand Cohen's feelings at this time, because it was just like the battle he had just seen. As a ruler,
When the reporter Cohen Keda saw the Helle continent, which was far more powerful than the Bes continent, the fire in his heart was stoked even hotter!
There is no doubt that the Helle Continent is extremely wealthy, but this appearance of wealth, which is common to the civilian level, needs to be established on a very strong social foundation! On the other hand, Sibiya in the Bis Continent, although it is also very wealthy.
It is powerful, but it has to rob the entire continent to support its people!
Stronger, stronger! This is the tireless pursuit of every strong man! What's more, now that there is such a goal in front of Cohen, how can he be calm and how can he not be disturbed in his heart?
"However, the most dazzling moment in the Hillel Continent did not last long. In the end, it really became the only moment that remains in my memory..." The watcher's passionate tone suddenly stopped at the highest point.
Stopped, like an iron sword being suddenly broken! Then, his voice gradually dropped, and it was full of regret and compassion: "All the humans on the Greek continent, and the countless miracles they have created... are all here.
Turned into dust in an instant..."
"Everything has disappeared and been wiped out completely." As the watcher said, the picture on the light screen solidified, faded, and finally turned into a translucent distant view. The gazes of Cohen and Crow were
Follow back to Watchman Face.
"In my world, the Guangming Clan and the Dark Clan are also mysterious beings who are above human beings. They also have altars to worship them. However, compared to your world, the Guangming Clan and the Dark Clan have looser and stricter control over humans.
It's a little more vague, and the method is more direct and rough." Mentioning the guardians of gods and demons again, his eyes were full of hatred: "They are learning and making progress."
"I agree with this." Cohen's current temperament is no longer a "money-greedy human being."
"The most important thing in my mission is to tell the people who come to the altar of life the truth of what happened." The watchman looked at Cohen and said: "The starting point of the matter was Emperor Hillel - his ancestors were separatist warlords.
It took more than ten generations to establish the empire. At the beginning of its establishment, the empire's national power ranked second from the bottom in the mainland. By the time of Emperor Hillel's father, it was seventh in order. In the middle of the reign of King Hillel, the empire ranked first in the world!"
"Emperor Hillel was an extremely outstanding emperor. This excellence was not only reflected in the fact that he unified 50% of the mainland, but also reflected in his insight and diplomacy towards the Guangming clan and the Dark clan.
In terms of the emperor's grasp of the long-term state of the world and the education of his successors." The watcher explained: "Originally, everything was very peaceful, until Emperor Hillel accidentally obtained the 'Awakening Calendar' written by the sages. In the Awakening Calendar
The year he was born is the first year of the awakening calendar."
"This mysterious calendar was written by a predecessor of unknown age. The predecessor who wrote this awakening calendar once inadvertently entered another altar of life, which should be left behind by an earlier human world. He must
He knew the true faces of the Guangming clan and the Dark clan, but he did not have the power to lead mankind to fight back. Therefore, this predecessor could only compile this awakening calendar to reveal the cruelty and darkness, as well as the destined ending.
!”
"In fact, in the early days of the emperor's reign, he had already had doubts about the Guangming clan and the Dark clan. After getting the awakening calendar, people like the Emperor couldn't help but feel fear and trembling... Finally, the Emperor determined that the Guangming clan and the Dark clan were unreasonable.
Their existence also confirmed that they would eventually destroy the world. The emperor knew very well that if he evaded maintaining the status quo, the great cause of mankind would still perish. Therefore, knowing that he would die, it was better to fight! So the emperor conquered his fear and formulated the greatest plan in his life.
, this plan lasts for three generations.”
"This is a real big deal." Cohen nodded. He was the emperor, and of course he knew the difficulty and danger of such a plan.
"The Emperor spent his whole life formulating and implementing this plan and building the foundation for the entire human world. For this reason, he spent his whole life dealing with the Guangming clan and the Dark clan. In order to make them feel at ease, the Emperor went to please Ying Ying again and again. He
He was so ruthless that he personally killed three adult heirs, two underage heirs, and all the concubines! He even did not hesitate to secretly marry the Dark Princess and make himself a hostage! In the end... the emperor died as planned.
Under the sword of my own son!"
Cohen subconsciously swore a curse word. Although he, as an emperor, could understand the behavior and way of thinking of Emperor Hillel, the decisive approach of Emperor Hillel still made Cohen's hair stand on end!
"Hile II, he had a gentle personality, was a sensitive and meticulous person, and he would not have become an emperor, but his fate pushed him into a situation where he would have to bear the reputation of patricide for the rest of his life! But he had no complaints about this. He
He was an illegitimate son, but he was also a great monarch. In the plan of Emperor Hillel, he was responsible for the mission of consolidating the human world. To this end, he dedicated his life's energy and reputation, even pretending to be crazy and stupid, and killing.
I even cried bitterly at the feet of the Guangming clan and the Dark clan..."
Cohen's fists couldn't help but clenched tightly. Compared to King Hillel, he was more frightened by what happened to Hillel II. In the few short sentences described by the Watcher, Cohen was deeply moved by the actions of Hillel II.
.
Because a sensitive and meticulous person is suitable for art but not suitable for being an emperor. How much pain does it take for such a person to play such a role throughout his life without revealing his flaws? How much strong will does it take? If you have the right intention in your heart
The hatred of gods and demons, then no matter who it is, he can't do this! Yes, Hillel II is definitely a person full of emotions for human beings, but in this case, the pain he will bear will increase a hundred times!
"...In the end, His Majesty Hillel II also died in the hands of the eldest grandson of Emperor Hillel according to the plan. Because the Guangming clan was watching the ceremony at that time, His Majesty Hillel II was sentenced to death! The traveling envoys of the two clans continued to serve as the second generation.
His Majesty treated his broken body, and they extended the sentence to one month!" The watcher's voice echoed in Cohen's ears: "Within that month, amid the screams of His Majesty II, we were filled with joy,
Celebrate the death of the tyrant on the execution ground... And the construction of this altar of life was officially started on the day His Majesty II calmly died..."
In the words of the Watcher, the sacrifices of countless people emerged, as clear and solemn as if they happened before Cohen's eyes.
"Because of the sacrifice of His Majesty the Second, His Majesty the Third succeeded to the throne in the legitimate name of Emperor Hillel, and was finally able to act as an enlightened and normal monarch. Under the planning of His Majesty the Third, the human power that had been suppressed for two generations was released.
Opportunity. This magnificent achievement of human civilization is truly infinitely charming, and also confuses the Light Clan and the Dark Clan. They finally relaxed their vigilance against humans as Emperor Hillel expected... So His Majesty the Third completed
Everything is prepared..."
Cohen breathed heavily. If Hillel III's experience was like that of his predecessor, he would not be able to bear it.
"Although there were wars, turmoil, and countless tragedies on the continent under the rule of Emperor Hillel, what the Emperor left behind was a human world that was ready for transformation! Humanity paid countless blood and took difficult steps toward freedom.
The first step has been taken!" The watcher's tone became stronger, and there was a faint steel-like echo: "His Majesty the Second took over the responsibility, completed the reserve from talents to materials, and improved the entire plan more perfectly, and also
All this has been passed to the hands of His Majesty the Third! By the time of His Majesty the Third, the creativity bursting out of the entire continent, and even the ideology and enterprising spirit of the human world, were at an unparalleled peak!"
"Taking magic as the easiest thing to judge, during the reign of Emperor Hillel, humans had three chief mages. During the reign of His Majesty II, the number had increased to eight. However, under His Majesty III, the number of chief mages reached an unprecedented forty-nine.
——There are five other people who have broken through to the leader level, and their magical attainments can even compete with those of the light and dark clans!"
"Among the prerequisites prepared for the plan, the empire has an elite army of 2.2 million, 30,000 elite warriors to directly implement the plan, 8,000 magicians, and 4,000 other attack forces! 1,600 flying dragons
, thirteen thousand griffins, a race of gargoyles, a race of bats and a race of winged men!"
Cohen listened quietly without saying a word. With the huge manpower and material resources accumulated by the Hillet family for three generations, he would not be able to do it in another hundred years, and he could not do it like this.
But all that Watchman said, even with Cohen's "arrogant" perspective, the people who formulated and implemented such a plan are qualified to describe it as "great"! Although some of their methods are inappropriate, ideal
Obviously it was not achieved, but the failure did not undermine his fearless spirit of devoting himself to the welfare of mankind. In front of this set of monuments, Cohen was full of emotions, but what else could he say?
"Humanity's counterattack finally officially began in the 567th year of the Awakening Calendar!" As soon as the watcher's voice came out, the pictures on the surrounding light screen came to life again. On the blank light screen above the head, even the current continent appeared.
A sketch with flashing light spots and patches on it: "As a cover of smoke, turmoil spread across the continent, and wars occurred frequently and fiercely. As usual, the attention of the Guangming Clan and the Dark Clan were filled with this."
Conspiracies, undercurrents, and desires are attracted. So the human elite took the opportunity to make a sneak attack and launched an attack on the two clans’ wandering envoys and their home bases—Double Wing Island and Dark Holy Mountain!"
"What's the result...?" Cohen is not a person who can't hold his breath. He can slowly listen to the watcher's sad narration, but he doesn't want, or can't bear to have those things that are a foregone conclusion re-narrated.
Once, because in the words of the Watcher, those tragedies and sacrifices are not empty numbers.
"It started smoothly, but then... we failed!" The watcher did not hide his pain: "The power of the Guangming clan and the Dark clan is extremely powerful, so we wanted to seize their power, but no one thought that human beings
Our bodies could not carry that power. We killed almost all the patrolling envoys, and once attacked the Double Wing Island in the sky, but our hands and feet were restrained by the snatched ability. What we did not expect was that the Guangming clan and the Darkness
The Clan also had a trump card... Because of these two reasons, the Light Clan and the Dark Clan finally won time and launched the ultimate magic called 'Judgment'... the entire Helle Continent..."
"Judgment!" Cohen's heart trembled.
"There are three ways to deal with the rebels, the Guangming clan and the Dark clan." The watcher said: "The first is to send a special executor to physically eliminate the rebels individually; the second is to conduct a small-scale trial, which can
Complete destruction can range from a county to an empire; the third step is to launch the ultimate judgment..."
"How is it?" It was Crow who asked this question.
"Everything about us, everything in the Hillel continent - has been destroyed! Everything has been destroyed!" I don't know how many years have passed, but when the watcher said these words, it was still accompanied by a cry of sadness that was unwilling to die.
roar!
The corners of Cohen's mouth also tightened into a straight line at this time.
The light curtain is full of splendor!
The air currents rolled straight up into the sky, blazing beams of light fell from the sky, and the whole earth boiled like boiling water... Cohen's eyes trembled, and his face turned livid!
There are no blood and tears on the screen, and no wailing can be heard, but as long as you are a person, you will know that it is truly a continent with countless creatures! The impact of the yellowing, old lines and colors is here.
Suddenly he became extremely powerful!
Behind every pillar of fire there are humans crying, and under every vortex there are lives cursing!
Cohen's footsteps moved slowly, but no matter which direction he faced, he could not avoid this scene, nor could he get rid of its influence! Involuntarily, Cohen bent his body, and inserted the fingers of the two hands holding his head into his hair... Where did this come from?
Residues copied from history, or a foreshadowing of the future of mankind?
Cohen doesn't know.
He doesn't know whether he can be like Emperor Hillel, who has sacrificed himself, his family and his descendants, and can still face a failure calmly...
Judgment, divine punishment, overturning the continent, destroying mankind...
Who can be calm and composed?
“Turn it off…turn it off…I told you to turn it off!”
"This is the end of my world. Your anger should not be directed at me, but at the culprit."
The picture flashed and faded on the light screen. Cohen, who was covered in cold sweat, was finally able to take a breath. What was surging in his eyes at this time was not just anger. That scene baked Cohen's emotions into anxiety.
Incomparably, even striding around quickly could not relieve the stress on his body and mind!
On the first lap, Cohen yelled at the crow: "Ridiculous!"
The crow just looked at him indifferently, as if he didn't care.
On the second lap, Cohen yelled at the watchman: "Stupid!"
The watcher's eyes were calm and gentle, without any emotion.
During the third lap, Cohen's suddenly waving hand froze midway. He gritted his teeth tightly and withdrew his hand abruptly. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sat down slowly.
But his face was livid and pale. (To be continued)
