Therefore, they suffered the same disaster, and it was even more serious in Kejistan. Only then did people realize that their own king was the culprit of everything.
Before this incident was discovered, the entire Kejistan was almost torn to pieces by the disaster, and the final battle almost killed this ancient desert kingdom.
No matter how miserable Ernstinger was, in the end he managed to save a rolling log fortress and the remaining 20% of the country's population.
And what about Kejistan?
According to statistics, the surviving population of this desert kingdom after the war only accounts for less than 7% of its original population!
And at least four percent of these seven percent were saved by the guardians of Kejistan and the leaders of the Kardeim Mages.
Even in such a tragic situation, Kejstein still stood up again one step ahead of Ernstinger.
They expanded their own domestic scarce human resources by encouraging births and introducing migrant populations, and then used a series of extremely favorable business policies and resource exploration compensation to attract business travelers and gold diggers from other kingdoms.
These policies finally revitalized the economic lifeline of Kegistan, which was almost cut off, and successfully reactivated the domestic atmosphere that had been stagnant after the disaster.
Looking back at Ernstinger, what people can see is a group of people who are clinging to deficiencies and not thinking about progress, complaining all day long, and not wanting to change themselves at all.
They only know how to find the Demonic Fortress Council for help every day, without thinking about how to work together to get out of this predicament.
A traveler once passed by the newly rebuilt city of Ernstinger and wanted to go into the city to find a hotel to rest, eat some delicious local food, and replenish his empty luggage. However, when he entered the city, he discovered that the entire city was empty.
The city is full of idlers wandering around the streets. The stone houses on both sides of the streets are empty, and there are no signs of any shops or hotels.
After he walked around the entire city of Ernstinger with a puzzled mood, he suddenly realized that he didn't see any shop or hotel selling adventure supplies along the way.
The few shops selling silk all look like they have been damaged, and the prices are extremely expensive. You can even ask for a hundred gold coins for a small piece as big as your palm!
When the traveler asked the shop why these silks were so expensive, the shop owner actually replied plausibly: "These are Ernstinger's silks! And they are rare goods that were bought in the past and will not be bought in the future. The price is not expensive at all."
, on the contrary, I think it’s cheap!”
When the traveler left the land of Ernstinger hungry and extremely disappointed, the Ernstingers' stubborn behavior of holding on to their past glory suddenly caused the country's reputation in the world to decline again.
Up a level.
Nowadays, the assistance provided by the Demonic Fortress Council to the Kingdom of Ennstinger is getting less and less, and the members of the Parliament have warned the envoys of the Kingdom of Ennstinger more than once, telling them that they must find other ways to revive the country's economy.
Otherwise, these material aids will be cut off quickly.
...
The contrasting story of the two kingdoms of Ernstinger and Kegistan can be seen as a fable, but this change is not the most eye-catching change in the entire world of asylum in the past few decades.
In the past fifty-nine years in the world of Sanctuary, what attracted Xue Hua's most attention was the news one after another that seemed to be the resurrection of the old "gods" and the progress of the development of the second world by the Demonic Fortress Council.
First of all, the world will of Sanctuary World seems to be re-delegating its authority to the World Pillars step by step.
Because the influence of Chaos Purgatory on the first world is gradually decreasing, the entire world seems to be trying to return to what it was like in the ancient times.
The most obvious example of this is the recent new trends of the ancient "gods".
In Rogge Fortress, Akara felt inspired by the "Blind One" again and prepared to rebuild the "Sisterhood of the Blind Eye" as mentioned before, but in fact, Akara was not the first one to be inspired by the "Old God"
Servant.
Similar scenes have appeared all over the world in the past ten years, and some "old gods" have even begun to send "miracles" for their return.
Eighteen years ago, large clouds of salt spray suddenly appeared on the sea outside King's Port. Under the gaze of many sailors and people at the dock, these salt sprays continued to change into very specific images one after another.
Finally, after four or five minutes, the salt spray came together to form a female face with half-closed eyes and hair stretching out like octopus tentacles.
All sea hunters and sailors who have been making a living at sea all year round recognize this face. It is the legendary "Ms. Sea Mist, the protector of sailors and ships, and the executor of the impermanence of the sea."
Fourteen years ago, a strange black and white light suddenly burst out of the closed-door city of Wurui. This light penetrated the clouds and shot high into the sky, reflecting a huge dragon shadow on the clouds.
The dragon shadow lasted for dozens of minutes before dissipating. Shortly after the dragon shadow dissipated, Urui immediately announced that the country's diplomacy was unlocked and began to establish normal diplomatic relations with other human kingdoms outside the world.
At the same time, the orthodox necromancers of Uri, who had always been shrouded in mystery in the eyes of the world, also emerged from the swamp and stood on the world stage.
Eleven years ago, in the distant Xiansai, a colorful halo of light suddenly fell from the sky...
Eight years ago, the area of Tadura, the holy land of the druids, suddenly began to expand rapidly...
Four years ago, a shadowy warrior holding a single-edged sword and wearing red armor suddenly appeared over a small town in Westmar...
A year ago, the Haworth Islands were suddenly shrouded in a black fog that lasted for more than ten minutes, and everyone on the island heard a voice repeating to them the sweet taste of revenge in their ears.
.....
The power of the "old gods" began to recover one after another, and the ancient sects resurrected one after another.
This will inevitably bring huge changes to the world...but none of this is what Xue Hua cares about.
He had long known that once the world was freed from the dangers of Chaos Purgatory, the will of the world would soon begin to restore the ancient order of the world.
What he cares about is actually what kind of benefits his two girls can get from this big change.
The two sisters, Anne and Funya, had already advanced to the extraordinary level one after another twenty-two years ago. Under the protection of the two gods of ocean and storm, the two girls' advancement process was very smooth, and they did not suffer any consequences.
Xue Hua had experienced the kind of "death-like" bitterness at that time.
Logically speaking, the tasks of these two godheads can be considered completed.
However, now Xue Hua's perspective on problems has changed a lot as his strength has grown. He once thought that the role of these two gods could only stop here. After all, he was reluctant to let his two girls go to Sanctuary World.
The world will work as a wage earner.
But from his current perspective, maybe he can find a way to cancel the binding between these two godheads and the world of Sanctuary, so that the sisters have the possibility of becoming gods in other worlds?
