After Lothar wiped his tears and stood up from Thunder Hammer, the chief seemed to have changed in an instant. All the previous compliments and humble gestures had disappeared. He was forced to bend down more and more under the pressure of life. Lothar's waist was now straightened as much as possible.
Although he addressed Liao Ji as a human again, there was no longer any falsehood in his tone, and there was truly no sense of distance. Then Lothar lowered his head, opened his palms and raised them above his head. , stretched forward in front of Liao Ji.
This is a traditional ceremony for almost every demihuman clan. When Liao Ji also placed his hand on Lothar's palm, the ceremony was completed, which meant that the supreme leadership of the Lizard clan had been transferred from Lothar to Liao. discipline.
After doing all this, Lothar seemed to be relieved. He no longer wanted to be a chief whose edges were smoothed by the survival of the clan, but could become a passionate warrior again.
"This may be fate. As the "Seventy-Two Clan", we betrayed the guidance of the Great Sage Karl and chose to hide in the back and live an ignoble existence like cowards. Unexpectedly, times have changed and we have given up our glory, but glory But we have not been forgotten.”
While Lothar was mumbling in emotional memories, Liao Ji heard the familiar name and couldn't help but ask: "Great Sage Karl?"
"Yes, Great Sage Karl was a sage from the same era as our ancestors. He was obviously very powerful, but he never found a partner or founded a clan. He was always alone and wandered around our major demihuman clans. In the meantime, he taught us knowledge and skills when we were just starting out, whether it was farming methods, hunting methods, or the use of strength, etc. Many clans had benefited from him, so we introduced the great Karl. People call him a great sage."
Lothar's face showed an extremely respectful look. For the entire sub-race, the great sage's status in their hearts is extremely high. This history has been passed down from generation to generation, so we must keep it in mind.
"When the emperor disappeared and the empress decided to create the Dragon Kingdom, the land in the north was fertile and the resources were abundant, but the south was barren and still filled with a large number of remnants of the wasteland era's evil spirits, so the great sage Karl volunteered to lead the seventy-two The clan wants to open up the southern territory for the empress, so that humans who are more capable of development can concentrate on staying in the rich northern territory to lay the foundation of the Dragon Kingdom first, while we demi-humans are responsible for guarding the border, eradicating the remaining evil spirits, and at the same time reclaiming the southern territory, so that The land comes back to life.”
"In the first two hundred years, when the Great Sage Karl was still there, everything was still prosperous. Human beings who could develop in the north without any worries have continuously fed us back, providing us with food, grass, weapons and equipment. , and with humans as our backing, we have also successfully transformed the southern border into two large pieces of land, the Tribal Forest and the Orc Plains, that can truly support our lives."
"However, after the death of the great sage Karl, and soon after the minister Charlotte came to power, everything changed. Soon for some unknown reason, it was difficult for relic users to appear among our demihuman race, and the ability to transform into beasts seemed to be gone. The power is fading rapidly, and there are fewer and fewer strong people. Although we still try to break through the last swamp, we are no longer capable. When we ask the humans in the north for help, what we get is rejection. Even behind, one after another An unbelievable piece of bad news has come. Humans actually treat us who guard the border and take over the barren land as slaves. Not only do we lose our aid, we also have to face the human army!"
Speaking of this, Lothar was obviously very emotional, while Yilin, who was also at the scene and was more emotional, was already furious after hearing this.
"What kind of dog*human being! This demi-human worked so hard for you to study and helped you avoid all the pressures of life, and then you became famous and you just kicked away the old and declining demi-human? Your conscience has been gnawed by the dog!" "
Under the metaphor of Irene's image, the girl seems to have forgotten that she is also a member of the human race. She is completely standing in the perspective of a demi-human and shares the same hatred. She is frustrated and angry until her teeth itch.
Lothar slowly recovered from his excitement. He sighed and continued to tell this history to Liao Ji:
"In the first hundred years after this, nearly half of our former "Seventy-Two Clans" disappeared, so we finally had differences and divided into three different choices."
"Eight of the clans still choose to stick to the border of the wild swamp and follow the "watchman" duty given to us by the Great Sage Karl. Four clans have decided to take revenge on the ungrateful empress, which is the revolutionary army. The predecessor of , the remaining twelve clans, our Terror Lizard clan is also one of them, and we chose to escape. "
"We no longer fight against the evil spirits, but retreated to the reclaimed tribal forests and orc plains, choosing to linger. Because of this, I always feel guilty for the clans of the other two camps, so whenever When Xiyun asked me for help, I was a coward who fled to the rear. I am afraid that the only thing I can do for warriors like them who are still fighting is support."
From Lothar, there was a new addition to the history of the Dragon Kingdom. After leaving the chief's village, Liao Ji deliberately asked Yilin and Lingxian to go back to the revolutionary army's camp to bring back the news of the successful alliance.
After he and Long Niang were left alone, Liao Ji had some problems that he could only figure out with Jiu You.
From Chief Lothar's words just now, we can hear that there is a very obvious time point, that is, after Karl's death, what happened in the authority structure of the Dragon Kingdom on the northern human side after Karl's death, this "Charlotte" How did the minister come to power? This is what Liao Ji wants to ask Jiu You now.
But Liao Ji got an answer that surprised him a little.
"Lord Ashes, Charlotte is the successor appointed by Karl himself before his death."
"Promoted by Karl?"
"Yes." Jiuyou nodded. Perhaps because of this, she wanted to trust Carl as much as she wanted to trust Charlotte.
"What about next?"
"Another thirty years later, Annuo found me and asked me to go into hibernation to prevent the pollution of evil. After that, I rarely had any involvement in the affairs of the Dragon Kingdom and had no idea about it."
Liao Ji frowned and noticed the abnormality, and immediately interrupted and asked: "Wait a minute, thirty years?"
"Let me confirm, did Annuo find you around the third hundred years?" Liao Ji learned about the time Annuo found you from Sxiutia.
When Jiu You on the opposite side nodded, it seemed that Annuo had the same time to find the other four, Liao Ji couldn't help but frown. When he sorted out the timeline, he found a conflict point.
"Jiuyou, when did Karl die?"
"Two hundred and seventy years."
right here.
The expression on Liao Ji's face became more solemn.
Karl, the forgotten spirit summoned before, told himself in the conversation that he only lasted until the 214th year.
But Karl on Jiuyou's side lived to the 270th year. During the fifty-six years in between, who was the Karl who was still "serving" by Jiuyou's side? "
