In the castle hall, Nolan sat at the head of the long table, his tone full of admiration:
"However, that obviously does not belong to this era. I firmly believe that even if all the skilled craftsmen from the three kingdoms gathered together, they would not be able to create such a car... Especially, you seem to have some ability to store it... This
Even more amazing...
As far as I know, although the three major kingdoms also have similar powerful rare items that can be used to store items, they are absolutely impossible to do this...even the temple is the same.
Probably only the legendary strong men from the Cataclysmic Era, who were extremely powerful, had tenacious will, and had power far beyond that of contemporary people, could do something similar..."
After a pause, Prince Nolan looked over:
"And those people have the ability to sleep for thousands of years and quickly understand the language of this era. Perhaps it is not difficult to understand."
The other end of the long table.
Cheng Lin looked at the prince through the candlelight at the top of the snow-white candles, with deep meaning in his eyes, half-smiling but not smiling.
This gesture was made deliberately by him in order to highlight his own mystery... Well, this was a great help for her to pretend to be an ancient...
Bah, what kind of disguise? I am clearly...
Muttering something in his heart, a relieved smile gradually appeared on Cheng Lin's face:
"In this way, you seem to have a certain degree of belief in my identity... Of course, I know that this alone cannot really convince you. After all, this is really unbelievable... even for me.
Before that, I had no idea about it... Hehe, but before that, I hope to know something about this era, about your history, um, and the three kingdoms you mentioned, the Holy Church...
...and even some basic knowledge of extraordinary power...
Please understand that, in fact, apart from the basic language, I know nothing about this era. Just like when you went to sleep last night and woke up the next morning, the world has changed beyond recognition, and you will definitely be eager to understand this."
"Of course, I understand." Nolan replied immediately without any hesitation, because in his opinion, this knowledge is not a secret at all. Just find any citizen... Well, it is best to find those who are literate and can tell it.
Probably, "Then... let me give you a brief introduction..."
Prince Nolan coughed, picked up the red wine in his hand, moistened his throat, and organized his words. After all, it was the first time that he introduced the present to a person suspected of being an "ancient strong man."
"In our history..."
In the castle, as Nolan began to tell, the room suddenly became extremely quiet. Except for the dancing candlelight and the prince's voice, there was nothing else.
Cheng Lin listened attentively, and gradually, he finally got an impression of this era.
According to Nolan, in history, ancient civilization, that is, modern civilization, unexpectedly encountered some kind of horrific disaster, so the entire civilization was destroyed, leaving only a part of the powerful ancestors who went underground and survived during that difficult time.
Struggling to survive is the so-called "Era of Catastrophe".
As for how long this period lasted, there is no clear record. It could be hundreds of years or thousands of years.
Finally... a thousand years ago, the Catastrophic Era ended, and people began to return to the surface, repopulate, and establish countries, and then began the recorded historical era... Until now, the "continent" has been divided into three kingdoms, namely
"Dipispo", "Looklin" and "Lekgenre".
The territories of the three kingdoms are intertwined and distributed roughly from south to north. Dipispo is located at the southernmost point. The three kingdoms have maintained a peace covenant with each other for many years. Intermarriage between royal families is also very frequent. The kingdoms are all feudal systems, but
There were very few slaves.
Extraordinary beings and some extraordinary creatures, similar to the two-headed dog raised by the exploration team member "Qilin", have long been embedded in human society, becoming nobles, or working for the nobles.
The three kingdoms have almost the same language, differing only in details, similar to the differences in local accents, and believe in the same religion, which is also the only religion on the continent, called "Temple".
Its headquarters is located at the northern end of Dipispo. Its highest helm is not the "Pope" but the "High Priest". This religious belief is not about a specific god, but "the unknown in the starry sky", which is related to the great events in human history.
Unlike most religions, the Holy Church is more like a "club", a gathering of extraordinary people from the three kingdoms.
However, after awakening to the extraordinary, most of them will join the church and believe in the "unknown in the starry sky". The church does not participate in any politics and is eternally neutral. The daily operations are paid by the "extraordinary" who join, as well as the three major
The annual donation from the royal family of the kingdom... In short, it is a kind of existence called religion, but in fact it is very strange.
Nolan is the third-ranked prince of the Kingdom of Dipispo. He has no inheritance rights and has no interest in inheriting the kingdom. Instead, he is keen on "opening up" the territory.
It is said that the territory of the three major kingdoms today is far smaller than that of the "ancient times". Beyond the known range of mankind, there is an almost endless "dark area" that is in an undeveloped state.
In recent years, the three kingdoms have been at peace all year round and the treasury is abundant. Therefore, gradually, "exploitation" has become the mainstream voice. Any natural person without any crime can open up wasteland outside the known territory. This is encouraged by the three kingdoms.
.
Anyone who develops a territory of a certain size can be awarded the title of "Pioneering Knight" and enjoy the right to use the territory. The Southern Territory was originally very small, but the area where Cheng Lin is now has not been developed recently. Therefore, it is
It will look very simple, like a small town, and most of the people in the city are Nolan's soldiers and their families.
"That's probably what happened." Nolan put down his wine glass for the third time, and his narrative voice came to an end.
At this moment.
The candle on the long table has burned down.
The night is darker.
Cheng Lin sat in his chair, absorbing this information.
"If calculated based on the original map, the southernmost territory is not far from the Great Wall, that is, it is located at the southern end of the capital. I don't know how big it is, but based on the information he provided, it can be guessed that the entire kingdom is roughly equivalent to the size of a previous province..."
Cheng Lin calculated it in his mind and secretly sighed that this world is really small.
He had no interest in the Three Kingdoms. The only thing that caught his attention was the "Temple". It was a religion in name but quite different in nature.
What he believes in is something strange like "the unknown in the starry sky"... Cheng Lin shook his head, a little curious.
After a moment of silence, facing Nolan's fiery gaze, Cheng Lin nodded first, his eyes drifting away, as if concentrating his thoughts from thinking, then his body straightened slightly, and he said with emotion:
"Thank you very much. I didn't expect... there would be such a big change. Oh, your legend is not wrong. Compared with ancient civilizations... nowadays, your so-called 'continent' is indeed extremely small. According to what you said, your country
At the beginning, the total territory was just one of dozens of territories in a country..."
This sentence is not a performance, but a true feeling. Therefore, in Nolan's eyes, it is particularly true. From Cheng Lin's sigh, I can hear infinite emotion, sadness, nostalgia for the past and the new world.
Confused... and stuff like that.
Nolan was deeply shocked by the size of the territory... He could not even imagine how huge such a country must be...
Swallowing covertly, Nolan said seriously:
"Mr. Newton, I... I have great admiration and curiosity about ancient civilizations, and I have also collected some artifacts excavated from the ruins, but I have never been clear about their functions. I wonder if you are willing to answer it for me?"
Is this a "test"?
Cheng Lin smiled secretly in his heart, and began to wonder what thing had survived. On the surface, he was calm and calm, with a deep look:
