"Are you sure that the book in my hand is indeed the original copy of the Jushan Breathing Method? Is it the copy of the Breathing Method that your ancestors obtained back then?"
Rubbing the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique in his hand, Colin asked again.
"Sir, the time is too long, I am not sure..."
Commons had a look of confusion on his face. This happened more than three hundred years ago. How could he be sure?
Colin lowered his head and turned over the breathing technique in his hand again.
Whether the ancestors of the Wood family made up a story or whether it was true is difficult to tell today, three hundred years later.
He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart, but he still didn't give up completely, so he said to Commons again:
"Tell me about the demonic tide three hundred years ago."
"Okay, sir." Commons nodded, paused for a moment to organize his words and said:
"About three hundred and twenty-six years ago, without any reason, overwhelming underground monsters suddenly swarmed into Into City and the Kingdom of Loen like a black wave - this is what we usually call the underground cave.
Demonic Tide.”
"On that day, the unprepared Into City only managed to resist for two minutes before the city gate was breached."
"Fortunately, after fifteen minutes, the wizards from the kingdom came to support. Shortly afterwards, the wizards from Neustadt City also came to support. They joined forces and it took only more than an hour to complete the mission.
Destroy all the cave monsters that will invade in the future."
Having said this, Commons paused and sighed: "Unfortunately, in just fifteen minutes, Into City was declared destroyed. The cave monsters occupied the entire city, and less than 20% of the people survived.
.
The kingdom wizards who came first could only block most of the remaining cave monsters, and continued to move forward, destroying most of the nearby Balk and Buco cities."
"In other words, the current Into City was rebuilt?"
"Yes, my lord."
Colin nodded slightly, slightly shocked.
Although more than three hundred years have passed, just listening to Commons' description is enough to imagine the tragic scene at that time.
"But that day was just the first wave of the dungeon demon attack." However, Commons went on to say.
"In the next three years, the demonic tides in the cave appeared frequently. According to historical records, including the first time, they appeared nearly three hundred times. The scale was large or small, and some even surpassed the first attack.
scale.
In the past three years, countless people have died, even wizards are not immune, and three wizards from the Loen royal family have died!"
"At that time, Alec's ancestor was just a high-ranking knight who was forcibly recruited by the royal family and had to fight against the cave monsters on the front line.
But it is precisely because of this that during these three years, my ancestor was not only lucky enough to obtain the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, but also successfully advanced to become a great knight!"
"After that, the demonic tide gradually ended and Into City was rebuilt. Our ancestors relied on the strength of the great knights and outstanding military exploits to win many battles and founded our Wood family."
After Commons said this, he turned around and took down a new book from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Colin.
"This is an autobiography written by my ancestor back then. It may be helpful to you."
The golden book had the words "Biography of Alec Wood" written in big words, and below it there was a line of small words - "From the day the magic wave happened, I realized that I was unique and extraordinary."
Colin raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the biography.
The biography was not short, it was about the thickness of a palm. Commons suggested that he find a more comfortable place for him to sit.
But Colin refused.
For him today, it only takes ten minutes to read a book like this, even if it is so thick.
The Wood family's secret room is extremely soundproofed.
When Colin started reading, the only sounds left in the secret room were the rustling of his fingers turning pages and the breathing of several people next to him.
O'Neill stood aside silently, looking at the spear behind Alcott's back from the corner of his eye, feeling depressed in his heart.
Colin's lack of concern not only made him relieved, but for some reason, it also made him feel even more uncomfortable, as if another heavy stone had been placed on him.
"Martina..." O'Neill murmured in his heart, complex emotions pouring out from the cracks in his hard heart, full of bitter taste.
He would not have lost this spear.
In fact, after getting the spear, O'Niens carried it with him almost day and night, holding it tightly in his arms even when sleeping.
He would never gamble with such a precious spear!
"Your ancestor lived 142 years?"
At this time, Colin suddenly spoke up, his tone full of doubts.
"Yes, sir." Commons nodded.
Colin's brows knitted together involuntarily, "You should know the disadvantages of the Giant Mountain Breathing Method, right?"
"I know, sir." Commons nodded, "Although the great knights in the family are unparalleled in combat power, most of them died at the age of a hundred due to the shortcomings of the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique.
Alec's ancestor is indeed the longest-living great knight recorded in the family history."
Commons paused, "But the family generally believes that this is because Alec's ancestor switched to practicing the Giant Mountain Breathing Method midway."
"Are there any other examples?"
Commons was slightly startled, "Since then, some people in the family have indeed tried to change their profession, but no one has succeeded until now, so Alec's ancestor is the only example."
Commons didn't feel anything unusual.
Although the conditions for converting to Knight Breathing Method are not as demanding as converting to Wizard Meditation Method, they are also extremely difficult.
In his opinion, it is normal for him to be unable to successfully break through the Great Knight after changing training.
But Colin didn't think it would be that simple. He turned over the autobiography in his hand again.
Before receiving the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, Alec's life experience was very ordinary. Although he tried his best to portray it as extraordinary in his autobiography, he still could not hide his ordinary inner life.
But after obtaining the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique, this knight's life took off like a cheat.
During the three years of purgatory-like battle to defend the cave monsters, ordinary knights suffered so many casualties that it could be said that not even one out of ten survived.
Alec not only successfully survived, but also performed many meritorious deeds, and was even lucky enough to save a knight of noble birth.
And this knight from the royal family also brought rich rewards to Alec later.
Then, after three years of demonic tide, Alec was equally comfortable in the aristocratic life, and his favorite thing to do was fighting.
Moreover, he is almost victorious in every battle.
Of course, the most unusual thing is Alec's lifespan.
An ordinary great knight would have no problem living for more than 150 years.
But if you practice the Giant Mountain Breathing Method, this is not the case. As Commons said, it is normal to live to be around a hundred years old.
This is mainly due to the endless enlargement brought about by the Giant Mountain Breathing Method.
No matter how much you delay, most of the great knights who practice the Giant Mountain Breathing Technique will suddenly disintegrate and die one day when they are around a hundred years old.
Moreover, even if you switch to the Giant Mountain Breathing Method halfway like Alec did, it will not make any difference to the final result!
Colin closed Alec's autobiography and felt certain in his heart——
'Alec Wood definitely hides some secrets!'
'In other words, the people in the Wood family in front of them are hiding something from themselves...'
He calmly glanced at the people in the Wood family in front of him and said softly:
"I need a guide to take me to the battlefields of those years. Can you arrange one for me?"
