Under the temptation of the wine, the two dwarves talked about almost everything they knew. They quickly told everything Shiloh wanted to know, and then each held a wine barrel and drank happily.
These two dwarves were not much taller than the wine barrels, but they were holding the barrels and pouring wine into their mouths. They looked like possessed alcoholics, which made Shiloh secretly sigh. Sure enough, dwarves knew how to drink right from their mother's womb.
The information the dwarf gave him was shocking enough, allowing Hilo to finally get a glimpse of the truth about the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
According to the dwarves, the Gulf Stream Island Chain is the origin of everything in the world, and even all civilizations in the world.
As soon as these words came out, Shiloh took a breath of air. Although he had already expected the specialness of the Gulfstream Island Chain, he did not expect that these two dwarves would actually say that the Gulfstream Island Chain was the origin of the world.
In the descriptions of the dwarves, the more Shiloh listened, the more frightened he became, and at the same time he became more shocked and frightened. With his strength, could he really conquer the entire Gulf Stream island chain?
In ancient times, races including humans, dwarves, elves, goblins and other races appeared on the Gulf Stream island chain before they were civilized. Each race existed in the form of tribes and conquered each other. They fought with each other for thousands of years.
During the thousand-year struggle, people of many races tried to leave the Gulf Stream Island Chain. However, for the various races at that time, the dangerous marine environment of the Gulf Stream Island Chain was simply a natural hazard. The rafts they built could float on the sea for less than a day.
It will be completely washed away and eventually fall into the water and drown.
And the vast ocean is not a safe place. In the sea, there are all kinds of terrifying sea beasts, as well as mermaids. Anyone who enters the water without authorization will become their target.
In addition to the great melee between several races, they also need to face the evil threat called Chaos, which will appear in various forms and threaten the survival of all races.
In this way, the war lasted for thousands of years. When the several parties fell into a stalemate, finally, changes occurred.
According to the dwarves, it was the time when the gods came to the world. Countless giants fell from the sky. They were omnipotent and omniscient. They taught various races knowledge to build civilizations and helped them learn to use their racial talents. At the same time,
It also stopped the endless war between several races.
Humans own the plains, the dwarves control the mountains, the elves rule the forests, the mermaids control the sea, and the goblins occupy the grassland... All races begin to coexist harmoniously, communicate with each other, and thrive together.
With the help of the giants, the civilizations of various races rose and expanded rapidly... In the end, in order to protect these races, the giants fought back the chaos and gave the world peace.
After repelling Chaos, various races signed an eternal contract at the giant's initiative to live in peace and non-aggression against each other. After that, the giant rose into the sky and disappeared.
Within the next thousand years, various races entered a period of vigorous development.
During this period, the different characteristics of each race were vividly reflected.
Dwarves are good at mining and forging. They dig ore from the mines in the mountains, smelt iron, and build majestic underground cities one after another;
Elves are natural masters of magic and archers. They continue to spawn forests, own a powerful elven empire, and even obtain a great plant called the World Tree, which is almost immortal;
The mermaid established a dream-like ocean empire on the bottom of the sea, rich in products, and unstoppable for a while;
The fairies have established a connection with all the spirits in the world. They are mysterious and unpredictable, but they are everywhere.
Although humans have no special talents, their learning ability is the best among these races, and humans are also the most favored race by the giants.
The body is not as good as the dwarves, and the magic is not as good as the elves, so the giants passed on the cultivation methods to humans so that they can grow up little by little from the weak.
Day after day, year after year, humans established their own empire on the plains, and the population expanded more and more, gradually spreading throughout the entire Gulf Stream island chain. At the same time, they also began to actively explore overseas, eager to find new lands.
..
However, it was because of the rapidly growing population that it eventually evolved into the first war of the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
Compared with the terrifying reproduction rate of humans, other races seem too ordinary in this regard.
A dwarf has a lifespan of about 350 years. They reach adulthood at the age of 50 and usually get married and have children around 100 years old. They can give birth to up to two children in a lifetime; elves are immortal and will basically not have a single child born for thousands of years; goblins
It is even more special. This race only has women, and they also have eternal life. Once a goblin dies, a new goblin will be born in the sea of flowers hundreds of years later, and naturally there is no need to reproduce.
Mermaids, the only ones similar to humans, also have a lifespan of about 120 years, but they only give birth once in a lifetime, and due to physiological limitations, they cannot leave the sea for a long time.
Therefore, in the face of the rapidly increasing number of humans, all races feel threatened and worry that humans will no longer be satisfied with what they have obtained in the future and start another war.
As a result, this worry eventually became the trigger for another multi-racial war in the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
Facing increasingly powerful humans, various races united to launch war against humans in order to ensure their own living space.
I don’t know how long that war lasted, let alone how cruel it was. Several races started a raging war on the Gulf Stream Island Chain, almost destroying all the civilizations established on the island. In the end, there was still no winner.
, however, at this moment, Chaos, which had been silent for who knows how many years, came back again and began to attack all races on the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
If in peaceful times, several races have developed to this day and no longer need to worry about the invasion of Chaos, but the two sides have just experienced a brutal civil war, losing most of their strength, so they were defeated by Chaos... The final result is,
Human beings who lost trust in other races, in order to preserve the fire, devoted all their efforts to build countless warships, abandoned this homeland, sailed into the depths of the sea, and sailed towards the new habitat they had discovered.
Several other races disdained the shameless escape behavior of humans and united together. Finally, after paying huge sacrifices, they defeated Chaos again. However, this time, they were also seriously injured and could only die out.
Peace is once again restored to the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
In fact, several races did not intend to let humans survive at that time, but due to the power of the giants and the signed contract, they could not really kill a race. In the end, they just watched indifferently as humans left this homeland that also belonged to them.
Hearing this, Shiloh couldn't help but frown. He felt that the stories told by these dwarves were lies made up to cheat him of his wine. If such a big thing really happened, why wouldn't there be a corresponding response in human history?
According to the records, based on the vengeful character of human beings, they would probably have been killed long ago. How could they wait until now with peace of mind.
The two dwarves faced Shiloh's doubts and sneered: "Idiot, what problem can you think of when we can't think of it? After humans left, all races united to perform a sacrifice, praying to the gods to seal off all human concerns.
Preserving all memories of the island chain means that every other year, human memory of the Gulf Stream Island Chain will be erased... It is precisely because of this that we are willing to let you humans leave."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like an enlightenment. Helo understood why the people of the Pontos Kingdom had such unfamiliar memories of the Gulf Stream Island Chain. It was obviously just a pioneering operation twenty years ago, but there was no one there.
People remember exactly what happened.
Hearing this, Shiloh's face suddenly darkened, and he stared at the two dwarves, but the two dwarves didn't care. After putting down the wine barrel, he patted his belly, burped with satisfaction, and then
He looked at Shiloh sideways and sneered: "Why, do you think it's unfair or wronged? Then you can take action now and kill me to make your ancestors angry."
Shiloh snorted and said: "What's the use of killing you? What mankind has lost will be taken back with our own hands. One day, the Gulf Stream Island Chain will become the territory of mankind again."
The two dwarves looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that tears flowed from their eyes, as if they were mocking Hero for overestimating his abilities.
"Hahaha, take back the Gulf Stream Island Chain? You actually said take back the Gulf Stream Island Chain? Hahahaha, boy, you are talking nonsense here before your feathers are fully grown. You are really not afraid of making others laugh."
Shiloh looked at the two dwarves with gloomy eyes and asked: "Why are you laughing? Humans are now so powerful that it will be easy to destroy you."
A dwarf pointed at Hilo's nose and laughed wildly, slapping the beach with his palms, and finally asked something that made Hilo stunned.
"Boy, you humans have indeed become stronger and stronger after thousands of years of cultivation, but why don't you think about why many races that originally walked in your human society have suddenly disappeared over the past thousand years? Why, we won't do anything
Take any measures to prevent you humans."
Shiloh was asked this question all of a sudden. He hesitated and realized a flaw in his thinking. For thousands of years, not only humans have been recuperating, but races such as dwarves and elves are also slowly accumulating strength. So why, they
Instead of building a splendid civilization on the Gulf Stream Island Chain, the entire Gulf Stream Island Chain is still as dilapidated as a deserted land.
"Boy, I will tell you the truth today, which shows that we are not afraid of human revenge... Since you left the Gulfstream Island Chain, everything on the Gulfstream Island Chain has nothing to do with you, including the things that will change the entire world in the future.
Big events are not something that you humans can get involved in... Do you still remember what I said, the various races that originally walked in human society suddenly disappeared, where do you think these races went?"
"...You mean, they all came to the Gulf Stream Island Chain?"
"Hahaha, yes, all races have returned to the Gulfstream Island Chain. Guess why, why all races have returned to the Gulfstream Island Chain?"
Shiloh frowned tightly. After a while, he guessed that he had figured out something, and said with a livid face: "Could it be that Chaos has returned..."
When he said this, there was a strong questioning tone, but looking at the expressions of the two dwarves, it eventually turned into a whisper of confirmation. The two dwarves nodded and said: "Chaos will revive no matter how many times it is defeated.
, even the gods could not be wiped out back then, even if we were lucky enough to defeat them.
Once, twice, there will be a third and fourth time, until we are unable to resist and are completely wiped out by them. Facing such a powerful enemy, even if you humans join the battlefield, it will only be a trap. Since
So, why should we be afraid of you and worry about your revenge?"
Shiloh looked deeply at the two dwarves and found that they didn't look like they were lying and were silent.
He really didn't expect that there was such a profound past hidden in the Gulf Stream Island Chain.
"Are you fighting Chaos now? How is the battle going?"
The two dwarves were silent for a moment, then picked up the wine barrel and started drinking. After putting down the wine barrel, they replied: "The war situation? What kind of war situation is there now? All the races can do now is to resist.
Resist desperately, stay alive, and try not to become the first race to be wiped out."
Shiloh never expected that his form would be endangered to such an extent. He murmured to himself: "Does it mean that with the power of the four tribes of dwarves, elves, goblins, and mermaids, they can't fight against chaos?"
"Hey, boy, do you think Chaos is a race? No, Chaos is a kind of power, an incarnation. It can be regarded as a kind of god. How can the gods be destroyed? How can the gods be destroyed? No matter how much sacrifice is required
, he will all reappear..."
"From the beginning, the Gulfstream Island Chain was not divided into three main islands. It was a small continent with various small islands scattered around it. However, in the battles against Chaos, the earth broke apart.
, the land collapsed and eventually became the three main islands now."
"All the major races are trapped on different main islands. I don't know whether those long-eared sissies and those flower fairies still exist now."
"As for the mermaids... Hahaha, they are smart. They followed you humans and fled outside the island chain, far away from this war. But after all of us are dead, it will naturally be their turn to be the stinky salted fish.
.”
"Finally, it's your turn."
The two dwarves murmured as if they were sentenced to death and continued to pour wine into their mouths. At this time, Shiloh had stood up with a gloomy face and looked into the depths of Qindao.
"How many more of you are there?"
"Humans? Oh... there are probably more than 3,000 dwarves hiding under the mountains, more than 3,000 people. When the dwarf kingdom was strong, it had a population of millions, but now there are only more than 3,000 people, hahahaha."
One dwarf murmured to himself, laughing, with tears mixed with wine falling on his beard, while another dwarf said with self-deprecation: "We will all die, sooner or later. At this time, grievances and grievances have returned."
What does it matter, is this sip of wine valuable?"
Shiloh nodded and asked: "How exactly does Chaos appear? They will always show themselves, otherwise how can we fight against it?"
"Chaos? I have already said it, it is not a race, but a force, a god! When Chaos appears, black mist sweeps across, and countless of its dependents will appear - there are Warcraft, Lizardmen, Kobolds,
Centaur, Na
Jia... Any creature living in the darkness will appear with the emergence of Chaos, and Chaos can give its power to its dependents and turn into powerful monsters. They are like locusts, killing no grass wherever they go.
.”
Shiloh suddenly felt a headache after listening to the dwarves' introduction to Chaos. According to what they said, Chaos is like a concept. How can this concept be defeated?
"Then why don't you run away, escape from the Gulf Stream Island Chain, unite and gather strength, and find another opportunity to counterattack?"
When one of the dwarves heard this, he immediately sneered: "Run away? I am a brave dwarf, how could I run away like you cowards and traitors!"
Another dwarf looked at Shiloh mockingly and said, "Even if you want to escape, you can't escape now. You haven't been able to escape since twenty years ago."
Shiloh was stunned and wondered: "With the forging skills of the dwarves, it should be a very simple matter to forge a warship. How could you not escape?"
A dwarf pointed at Qindao, slowly drew a circle in mid-air with his finger, and said: "The entire Qindao has been blocked by Chaos with an invisible force. You can come in, but you can't get out.
Go, now we are all trapped here, like a death row prisoner locked in a cell. Through the prison window, you can see the free world, but you can't grasp it."
Shiloh trembled, and immediately called a few soldiers, asking them to send a signal to the Golden Deer, asking them to try to leave first. Sure enough, when the Golden Deer was driving outwards, it suddenly fell into a strange situation.
At rest, no matter whether the sails were full of wind or whether the sailors were rowing desperately, the Golden Deer seemed to have pressed the stop button and remained motionless on the sea.
Seeing this scene, Shiloh felt half-hearted. He didn't expect that he would run into a huge trap in such ignorance.
"Is there any way to break this blocking force? You have been fighting Chaos for so long, you must know how to fight against this force!"
Shiloh didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly walked to a dwarf, squatted down and grabbed his shoulder, asking loudly.
Seeing Shiloh's anxious look, the dwarf burst out laughing again, as if seeing humans panicking was the best entertainment for him. After he was almost done with it, he said: "Leave? Hahaha,
There are certainly ways to leave Qindao, but you can only think about it."
"Twenty years ago, when our battle with Chaos reached its most intense moment, a group of human ships suddenly broke into Qindao and were affected. However, they were only on the periphery of the battlefield at that time, and the human leader saw
When the situation was bad, he retreated immediately and finally escaped."
"Since then, Chaos has set up a huge barrier on Qindao. All creatures that enter Qindao cannot escape."
"What provides power to the barrier are the corpses of those humans who broke in without authorization. They were made into sacrificial bodies and sealed in every corner of the Gulf Stream Island Chain."
"At that time, the great dwarf king Thorin found a sacrificial body in a destroyed dwarf city, and led his heroic warriors to destroy it. As a result, tens of thousands of brave and capable dwarf warriors were no longer available.
Everyone who came out of that abandoned city, including King Thorin, also died."
"Even the bravest and most skilled dwarf king can't do something. You, a mere human, still want to try it, hahahahaha——"
Shiloh looked at the laughing lover and suddenly became calm. He looked at the dwarf extremely seriously and asked: "So, as long as the sacrificial body is destroyed, the barrier can be lifted, right?"
"Yes, that's right, but do you think Chaos is a fool? How could it allow you to destroy the sacrificial body so easily! Every sacrificial body will be protected by powerful family members. With your skills, you can fill the gaps in their teeth.
It’s not even enough!”
"Since you can't escape, just think about how to live the last days of your life. Humans, isn't running away what your species is best at? Just keep running away."
The two dwarves seemed to have completely lost their fighting spirit at this time. They kept laughing and taunting, and seemed to have accepted their fate. At this moment, Shiloh suddenly said: "No, there must be a way to destroy the sacrificial body, otherwise you will have to fight again."
Why bother to escape from the hiding place, why not just hide underground and wait for death like I just said?"
"So you must have some other method. You want to destroy the body of the sacrifice, right?"
Shiloh said this with great certainty. He stared at the two dwarves. The armors on these two dwarves had obvious traces of battle. It was obvious that they were captured by the ogre after a great battle. If
The situation is really as dangerous as they say, so it is impossible for two dwarves to be alone outside late at night and be captured by an ogre.
They must have some purpose to come to the earth.
The two dwarves did not expect that Shiloh could still think after learning such an astonishing inside story. They looked at each other and one of them said: "Human, you are really smart, but smart people die first. That's right.
, I really want to destroy the sacrificial body, but
Do you know how many people I brought with me when I left 'Hratok'? I brought a total of 50 brave and capable dwarf warriors, but within three days, we were completely defeated, and now we are the only ones left.
Two dwarf warriors are talking about destroying the body of a sacrificial priest!"
Shiloh shook his head and said: "No, now is the most important time to discuss this matter, because you have met me, and I can help you destroy the sacrificial body together!"
"As long as the sacrificial body is destroyed, the barrier of Qindao can be unlocked. Afterwards, we will have a greater chance of winning against Chaos!"
"How about it, although our two races were enemies in ancient times, facing the same enemy, do you dare to join forces with me to fight together and defeat Chaos!"
