Chapter 80 The end of glory
This time it was Segris' turn to say nothing, and the old eyes looked at Shuer quietly, as if he wanted to see through his thinking.
"Yes, the more I think about it, the more I am sure that your promotion process has not been completed, and you can't be considered a complete god at all." In the shocked gaze of the Golden Dragon Odin and even Moria, Shuer raised his voice and said loudly, "And everything you have done, in addition to protecting your descendants and satisfying the ambitions of the Dragon Clan, is for you, to help you complete the last step, or to help you make up for some previous mistakes."
"Your life has come to an end. I can see how long it will take? One or two years? No, no, you are the dragon clan, your concept of time is different from ours, so your remaining time should be longer than I imagined, so... ten years? twenty years? I think it will never exceed a hundred years. That's why you are so impatient, and you even cooperate with the mages to give up part of the space in the wilderness."
"I thought it was strange before, and this was not reasonable. According to the ancient covenant, mythical creatures retreated to the wilderness and gave the civilized world to the intelligent creatures. However, this is not a surrender treaty, and you were not driven away. This covenant is more like a division of boundaries, and it belongs to the mythical creatures on the one hand and the intelligent creatures. Under this agreement, mythical creatures occasionally cross the line, but when they are opposite, their life safety will no longer be protected by the covenant. It depends entirely on themselves. If they are not lucky enough to cause the demigods to join forces to recover, or even attract the anger of the gods, they can only blame themselves. Of course, if they return to the wilderness in time after they create destruction, they will not be held accountable, and the gods will not be held accountable, and even the strong among the mortals will not, because they can't tell which one is just a murderer."
"For thousands of years, there have been many precedents. After the mythical creatures crossed the boundary, they followed this step completely. But... do you feel a little familiar? Haha, I feel more and more familiar. When I think about it carefully, Isn't this actually a description of mercenaries? In the wilderness, aren't the treatment of mercenaries exactly the same as the treatment of mythical creatures in the civilized world?"
"If you enter the opposite side, you will no longer be protected by the covenant. Life and death and harvest depend on the team. Be careful not to disturb too many mythical creatures to avoid being besieged. As for the higher level of anger, that is, the anger of the dragon clan, I don't know if they have ever come, but I think if they do too much, they will definitely come. After all, they are your descendants. Once they complete the task and return to the civilized world, they will not be held accountable. Even if they meet the dragon clan, the dragon clan will not take any measures. Isn't that fool Dark the idiot? He has also gone on missions in the wilderness, and he often mingled with the dragon clan, and he didn't find that one day he was bitten in half by Nick. Tsk, it's a pity, it's a pity."
"But think about it carefully, Nick met Dark with this purpose, but he wanted to break the covenant and avenge his children or...ahem, his partner was revenge, but he finally controlled it and did not take action?"
"No, Nick is just a simple idiot." Segris did not answer, answered by Golden Dragon Odin. When this answer came out, it was equivalent to affirming Shuer's guess.
"That's fine, I still have the chance to kill that idiot with my own hands." Yan lowered his head insincerely and muttered a few times. Shuer raised his head again and said, "It is definitely not an illusion that both sides have equal treatment. Mr. Odin has recognized my feelings just now. Since that's the case, I have sufficient reason to suspect that the covenant that year was a demarcation agreement and has the same effect on both sides."
The humanoid Odin looked at the silver dragon, and said nothing this time, just sighed softly.
"For countless years, there has been almost no precedent for intelligent creatures to expand into the wilderness, so... wait, something is wrong, something is wrong." Halfway through, Shuer suddenly stopped. There must be something wrong that I have ignored. A very important question. Shuer frowned tightly, his fingers hit his thighs with a hurry, and his expression was quite irritable, as if there was something that was about to be recalled, but he couldn't grasp the key point, and he was always a little bit short. This feeling was crazy. Fortunately, the inspiration flashed by, Shuer finally found the key to the problem, "No, there was something wrong with this sentence just now, and it was not without precedent. In the pioneering era a long time ago, the pioneers held high their banners and led the team into the wilderness, opening up a large area of territory for the civilized world."
"That was the most brilliant golden age of smart creatures. All forces united to the outside world, with large-scale territory increasing, emerging cities constantly emerging, various innovations emerged one after another, and some pioneering technologies cannot be replicated even today, thousands of years later."
"It's a pity that the chaotic era has ended all glory."
"But this is unreasonable. When I first read history, I felt a little strange. There were countless vast territory outside, why did the era of pioneering suddenly end, and why did the era of chaos suddenly come. Logically, coincidences, human-made... uh, god-like factors, an era of world-class melee that lasted for thousands of years must have emerged because of irreconcilable contradictions. However, in the situation at that time, any irreconcilable contradictions could be resolved by external exploration. Therefore, the era of chaos should not come, at least not at that time."
"However, in such a glorious era, such a passionate journey of pioneering ended without warning, as if everyone felt tired at the same time and did not want to continue to struggle, they suddenly stopped their pace of development from the outside. However, this is not the kind of fairy tale knight novel. The political, economic and military chariots that are driving at high speed are not as easy as those works. The thousands of years of pioneering era have brought huge inertia to all aspects. If you want to stop, you must go through the efforts of several generations. This is not something that can be decided by a group of people or even a group of gods. The inertia of a chariot is a regular choice. Any force that attempts to hinder the advance of a chariot will be ruthlessly crushed."
"So they were crushed. The political, economic and military tanks that were fully activated could not stop, but could not vent their energy from outside, so they could only accumulate contradictions inside. When the contradictions accumulate to the point where they could no longer be controlled, bang, the entire civilized world exploded, haha, the age of chaos came. Praise the Lord, this behavior was simply suicide, and collective suicide. I have never understood why people at that time had made such a choice."
"Now I finally understand, haha, it's not that they are too stupid, nor that they want to stop their pioneering steps, they have to do this."
"Because this is the result of your counterattack."
"Maybe in the previous bet, there was no clear distinction between the two parties, nor did the rights of both parties. All changes actually occurred at the end of the pioneering era. And your state also changed at that time."
"Shel Wright." Segris raised his slender neck and stared at Shel, "Don't you think you already know too much?"
