Chapter 55

The human world 8000 years ago was ruled by wizards.

These human beings with extraordinary abilities are powerful and heinous. A monster community composed of thousands of goblins can be destroyed in the hands of wizards. Human beings, under the leadership of wizards, have opened up one territory after another, and the alien races on the mainland have almost no ability to resist. In fact, the territory of the human world is inherited from the era of the chosen one, but it has shrunk a lot.

The Wizards of that era were obsessed with the research of various abilities. In order to obtain various experimental materials, they gathered a group of followers to serve them. Wizards have no intention to manage ordinary people. They only want to obtain more and stronger abilities. Therefore, they entrust the task of managing civilians to some human beings with element affinity. These people are knights.

One by one, groups led by wizards, managed by knights and served by ordinary people were born, and city states were established one after another.

Each wizard city-state is composed of 3-5 wizards, hundreds of knights and tens of thousands of civilians. Wizards have no interest in secular rights at all. They live in the high wizard tower in the city-state and engage in all kinds of research. The affairs of the city-state are handled by knights. These Knights gradually become the rulers of ordinary human beings. They began to call themselves nobles, but one thing they have not forgotten is to meet the various requirements of wizards.

The inheritance of the wizard's power is quite different from that of the knight's blood. The awakening of the wizard is random. I don't know that one day, a humble beggar awakens and becomes a superior wizard master, just like being selected by God, so the Wizards call themselves the God elect.

Whenever a chosen one appeared, the nobles of the city would respectfully invite him to the wizard tower and let him accept the guidance of other wizards, because the city-state that cut off the inheritance of wizards had no foundation for existence. The monsters at that time were much stronger than now. The giant dragon was rampant in that era, and only wizards could repel these greedy reptiles.

Strangely, all Knights have no talent to awaken the ability of wizards, but this can not hinder their dominance, because their descendants are born aristocrats. The descendants of wizards are not so lucky. Once the Wizards die, these people will soon lose their status, which makes the living wizards feel bad, but their descendants are really powerless ordinary people. Even if the wizards are willing to take care of the descendants of these colleagues, how many generations can they take care of?

Until, a great wizard named Andrew invented a ritual to help the descendants of wizards awaken their wizard talents. This kind of ceremony is blood sacrifice!

The advent of blood sacrifice has caused great waves in the wizard world, both opponents and supporters. But soon, wizards were surprised to find that blood sacrifice can not only help ordinary people become wizards, but also improve the strength and life span of wizards.

The blood sacrifice ceremony is unstoppable!

There are more and more witches in the city states that carry out blood sacrifice, and their strength is stronger and stronger. Other wizard city states can no longer sit still. Blood sacrifice began to spread in the whole human world, swept the whole northern continent and affected all intelligent races.

Wizards use all kinds of creatures for blood sacrifice. They found that blood sacrifice with dragons, elves, humans and barbarians has the best effect, while the effect of blood sacrifice with orcs and monsters is surprisingly poor.

Then, under the leadership of wizards, human beings broke out a war against other races, and countless lives withered, while wizards became stronger and stronger. When other races began to unite against human beings, they desperately found that human wizards were unmatched.

The final result is that powerful dragons have fled to Outland, the elves have fled into endless forest, and the barbarians with tribes as groups have been completely extinct in the northern continent. This situation continues to this day.

With the blood sacrifice of the last barbarian in the northern continent, the Wizards looked at their own kind.

Power, like drugs, corrodes the psyche and humanity of wizards. At this time, wizards no longer regard themselves as a member of human beings. They began to use human blood sacrifice.

At the beginning, they also used their city-state prisoners for blood sacrifice, but the situation soon got out of control. The new wizards in the city-state became more and more unscrupulous for power and strength. They sent innocent civilians to the altar one after another, dozens, hundreds, thousands, and the largest blood sacrifice caused the death of 100000 civilians!

Soon the Wizards found that the population they controlled was getting smaller and smaller. They began to plunder the population of other city states for blood sacrifice.

Therefore, the war among wizards broke out.

The war between wizards was cruel beyond ordinary people's imagination. Before some city states were conquered, the Wizards of the city states simply sacrificed their blood to the human beings in the whole city, so as to obtain strong power and successfully fight against or escape.

Mankind has reached the brink of extinction, and the Knights are not spared. Finally, someone began to resist the wizard. Unfortunately, it was useless. Those who resisted, whether civilians or nobles, were sent to the altar by the wizard. Wizards began to rule the surviving humans more cruelly, just like hungry wolves staring at sheep.

At this time, Enoch appeared. The tailor's son claimed that he was inspired by the Lord of glory to completely purify the devil's son - Wizard and liberate the whole mankind.

He attacked the wizard tower of his city alone and killed all the Wizards in the city. After that, he founded the shining church and began to eliminate wizards in other city states.

At first, wizards did not pay attention to Enoch. They thought Enoch was just an awakened God elect. But soon, they were frightened to find that Enoch's power was as deep as the sea, and he could summon 12 glorious angels to help him fight through a golden horn.

In just one year, one wizard tower after another was pushed down by the glorious church, hundreds of wizards were purified, and countless civilians gathered under Enoch's command to form a huge army to declare war on the whole wizard world. The Knights chose to stand idly by because they deeply understood the power of wizards.

Faced with the pressure of the shining church, the Wizards quickly gave up their war and jointly launched an attack on the shining church. Under the leadership of 34 legendary wizards, the wizard Corps wiped out the shining corps, and Enoch had to choose to escape after killing 14 legendary wizards.

Enoch found that the reason why he failed was that he was dragged down by wizards in the legendary field, and the brilliant Legion composed of civilians was not the opponent of the knight Legion at all, and was quickly wiped out.

This made him realize that if he wanted to defeat the wizard, he must unite the power of the knight, but how to persuade the knight to resist his master?

Enoch prayed to the Lord of light, who responded to him and changed the laws of the world. Then the whole world was different.

After that day, the wizard's extraordinary power was greatly weakened, the blood sacrifice no longer had any effect, and Enoch's magic was also weakened, but the knight's power remained unchanged

The balance was broken. When the Knights found that the wizard was no longer invincible, they finally united around Enoch and raised their butcher's knife to their former master.

Under the joint attack of the church and knights, the wizards were defeated and fled in all directions. The last organized wizard Corps fled to the southern continent south of the Jinshui River, but was chased by Enoch. It was destroyed by the attack of 12 glorious archangels. The destruction of this Legion announced the end of the era of the chosen and the beginning of the glorious era.

"King, this is the first history Edwin told me. What did you find?" Victor asked the king.

"My Lord, this history should have happened between 8000 and 7000 years ago. From the content, we can sort out several key points."

"First, human beings were a strong race at that time. The fundamental reason was the existence of God chosen people. Although the source of God chosen people's power was unknown, it was nothing more than the use of extraordinary power. Therefore, that era can be called the era of high demons."

"Second, the turning point of mankind comes from a blood sacrifice ceremony invented by a great mage named Andrew. But any sacrifice has an object, so it is not an invention at all, but a transaction. The two sides of the transaction are a human wizard and a supernatural creature, or a group of supernatural creatures."

"The content of the transaction is the sacrifice of blood sacrifice and extraordinary power, and most of these sacrifices are highly socialized intelligent creatures. According to the soul theory of the alchemy Empire, the more intelligent creatures are, the more complex the will side is, so I guess what the extraordinary creature group needs is the soul of intelligent creatures!"

"In the form of blood sacrifice, this can be confirmed. Life is forcibly terminated, and the soul fire and will side can be extracted under the most complete conditions. Because the intelligent creature whose soul fire is naturally extinguished is slowing down or even collapsing due to the weakening of spiritual attributes, showing the aging characteristics of amnesia, dullness and indifference."

"Third, since the blood sacrifice is a transaction, the two sides of the transaction are equal. Sir, do you know what this means?" The king asked victor.

"I still don't understand..." Victor seemed to have an idea in his mind, but he couldn't see clearly as if he was covered by a fog.

"My Lord, this means that these extraordinary creatures are essentially the same as human beings. They may be different in form and strength, but they must be homologous and may have a common ancestor." Said the king calmly.

"Wait! You say the devil and we have a common ancestor?!" The king's words were like thunder, which surprised victor.

"Sir, no matter what the name of extraordinary creatures is, one thing is certain that they will never be higher than humans. Sir, will you trade with ants?"

"Yes, I won't trade with ants, but I will trade with free people when I'm not strong enough, such as Bayer in Pinghu village." Murmured victor.

"But how can this show that extraordinary creatures are homologous with us?" Victor asked again, his mind like a paste.

"This can be seen from the power inheritance of wizards. Wizards were the controllers of extraordinary power at that time, or they can also be called extraordinary creatures, but all wizards awakened naturally, so we can call wizards awakeners."

"Then, there is a question, is the extraordinary power of the awakened given? Or their own potential?"

"On the surface, blood sacrifice makes ordinary people become awakeners and wizards gain greater power. It seems to be a gift of great power. In fact, it is just an illusion."

"This is illogical!" Victor shouted in his consciousness, "this is not in line with the logic of equal trade!"

"If it is a given power, these extraordinary creatures do not need to trade with wizards at all. As long as they give this power to ordinary people or other races, they can rule the whole world and plunder the souls of all intelligent races!"

"But they didn't do that because they couldn't do it! This is a trick! They deceived mankind! This is not a gift, but an excitation. They stimulate human potential and make ordinary people become awakeners. It is precisely because this is human power, so they can't control this power and rule mankind. They can only constantly induce mankind to make blood sacrifice! ”

"The reason why they choose to trade with human beings instead of other races is that they can't do it! Either because other races don't have this potential, or they can't stimulate the potential of other races. And they can enhance the power of human wizards! This shows that they know the extraordinary power of human beings like the back of their hands! They... Share the same origin with human beings!" Victor finally understood what the king meant.

"But why can't a knight be an awakener?" Victor asked the king again, puzzled.

"There is no more information to analyze this question. Maybe the knight itself is the awakener, but this speculation has great contradictions. For example, why did the church purify the awakener and let the knight go? Why did the knight not be weakened after the world law changed? Therefore, there is no answer to this question." The king replied.

"OK! You continue to analyze." Victor ordered that he just wanted to talk to the king and relieve the pressure, but he didn't expect that the king could analyze so much information.

"Fourth, the turning point of the war between wizards and churches is that the Lord of glory changed the world law and changed the high demon era into the low demon era, thus depriving the vast majority of Wizards of their power and ending the rule of the chosen ones. This is a fact, but the process remains to be discussed."

"The Lord of glory is also a powerful and extraordinary creature, but he, like those... Demons, cannot directly intervene in the world."

The king thought about it and called those extraordinary creatures demons, which was more in line with human feelings.

"Otherwise, the army of the glorious church will not be defeated miserably! Therefore, he is much stronger than the devil, but it is not more than an order of magnitude. If he can really change the laws of the world, why does he weaken the extraordinary power of the glorious church?"

"I think that the Lord of glory does not change the laws of the world by his own power, but through a special device. Maybe it itself is a natural phenomenon of world evolution! This change of laws is also effective for him, which shows that the Lord of glory is not as supreme as the church claims."

"In addition, when other races are facing the disaster of extinction, the Lord of glory does not fight, but when mankind is facing extinction, he does. This shows that the Lord of glory also has a great relationship with mankind, or mankind is very special, or the Lord of glory itself is the protector of mankind, but one thing is certain that he has completely different purposes from the devil, and he does protect it Human beings. "

"As for his specific purpose, it is still impossible to analyze." Said the king.

"Do you think the glorious church is just?" Victor asked with flashing eyes.

"From the perspective of the whole mankind, there is no doubt that no matter what their purpose is, they have protected mankind from extinction and weak civilians from killing. These are facts."

"Then I have become the opposite. I have joined the Lord's camp." Victor said with a bitter smile that the white tower camp is a lord camp established to resist the church. They are indeed opposite to the church representing the majority.

"My Lord, human justice cannot represent your justice, just like the purified gardener. He is a natural awakener, but he is not a criminal, but he is ruthlessly suppressed by the church. For him, the church is evil."

"What do you think is the real purpose of the church to purify the awakened?" Asked victor.

The church is very firm in dealing with witches. They claim to the world that witches are the offspring of the devil and born evil people, which will bring great disasters to mankind. As long as they are witches, even babies must be purified! This is one of the two limits of the glorious church.

"There is a clear purpose. They want to cut off the connection between the devil and the world. They need to know that Andrew, the great wizard of natural awakening, is the first one to connect with the devil. I think the power of the awakened person will grow over time and can finally communicate with the devil. Therefore, the church will never give the wizard time to grow up, even innocent babies should be purified In terms of strategy, although the means are cold-blooded and ruthless, they are very correct. "

"For the benefit of most people, it seems righteous to nip the threat in the bud, but it is a bloody tragedy just because of the uncontrollable awakening, even if he is a devout believer of the Lord of glory?" Victor sneered.

"That's the truth, my Lord. In the face of a threat, you will nip it in the bud."

The king's words made Victor speechless. He was as ruthless as iron in the face of the threat of free people.

"What if one day, I also threaten everyone's safety? Do I have to lead my neck and kill?" Victor asked himself weakly.

"My Lord, if there is a day, please follow your instincts."

The king's words condensed Victor's somewhat lax eyes and became deep and unpredictable. He smiled and said, "follow instinct? Well said! Just like the Blair brothers and sisters in the Pantheon."

"My Lord, I'm waiting for your next historical memory."
