The Word Spiritist of the Card World

Chapter 11 History and Current Status

History is undoubtedly a way for people to quickly understand a world, and it can serve as an index of "common sense"-when there are some things that Ge Picheng cannot understand in the historical records, you can follow this clue to find out Find basic textbooks to see what unexpected "common sense" is.

Today is March 999, 3 of the Golden Age.

This is a widely used method of dating in this world, regardless of the three continents in the east, west, and south, or the cold northern wilderness.

Its beginning year of the Golden Era was the alliance between the demigods of various human races and the Dragon Clan. Under the leadership of the first King of Heroes, they completely defeated the last "false god" who enslaved mankind, marking the end of the Heroic Era. When the full stop.

Of course, nowhere is there really 999 years of history other than Hero Country...

Even the Kingdom of Heroes is now in the third dynasty. When the dynasty changed twice, the historical records were lost and damaged, and the history of most other regions was intermittent.

On the whole, there are three periods of historical research. The first part is the history of wars between human demigods and "false gods" in the late Heroic Period. This basically belongs to the category of "archaeology". Truly a detailed record;
The second part is the first 100 years of the Golden Age. At that time, human demigods established countries in various continents and regions...

However, since the beginning of the Golden Age, no new demigods have been born to humans. Since the last long-lived demigod died in 137 years of the Golden Era, no demigods have appeared in this world.

From this, Gai Picheng also understands that although high-level professionals are relatively long-lived, at most they can prolong their lives. The highest age is only 60 to 90 years old, and many demigods died of illness at the age of [-] or [-]. They are still in the human category. It will not transform into a long-lived species.

At the same time, because of the gradual disappearance of the demigods, human civilization in various regions has rapidly regressed, becoming desolate and chaotic, and "history" has become worthless.

The reason is that the sixth-level demigods and the earlier "gods" created divine machinery, magic circles, and even magic energy facilities. At the beginning, the sixth-level demigods could barely drive them, while the fifth-level and fifth-level demigods could barely drive them. Professionals below the first level cannot drive it at all!

Therefore, the technological foundation of civilization has completely disappeared and entered the lost 600 years.

The third part is relatively detailed historical records, covering the last two to three hundred years.

Worldwide, the recovery of civilization in the last two to three hundred years is mainly because human beings have adapted to the power system without demigods, rebuilt a new foundation for civilization, and...the emergence of "underground cities" in the last three hundred years , making it very convenient to obtain sub-jobs, and also promote the development of civilization in various places.

As for the Jiulu region, it was mainly about the rise of the Lieyang Empire in the Lieyang region adjacent to the southwest more than 200 years ago.

The "history" that Gai Picheng saw in the library was basically the history of Jiulu, and the largest one was only the history of the Western Continent. After all, long-distance communication in this world is not so convenient and frequent.

In terms of the entire world, the Jiulu region refers to an area represented by the "Jiulu Grassland", which is considered the easternmost point of the Western Continent...

The three continents in the east, west and south are actually connected by land. The relatively closed southern continent is also connected by a land gorge to the western continent. The "Lieyang Region" with the Lieyang Plateau as the core includes the "Sunshine Region" leading to the South Continent. Shilu Gorge".

The Southern Continent is now synonymous with chaos and barbarism. Cruel wars accompanied by extermination and massacres are happening all the time, and... Contrary to Gai Picheng's stereotype, the aborigines of the Southern Continent are elves and goblins. Clan-based!

That's what I saw before, those two kinds of people with pointed ears-only here, the elves advocate nature, but... they don't advocate peace, but the more essential "nature".

As for the two continents, the east and the west... They were originally connected together, but because of the flat area in the middle, separated by the giant hero country, the north is separated by the northern desert, and the south is separated by mountains, so communication is rare, so it is customary to call the west side of the hero country the West The mainland and the east are the East Continent.

There are many Yu tribes in the Western Continent, that is, humans with long wings. Most of them are the Dayiyu tribe. Only in the Changshi Peninsula are the Xiaoyiyu tribes.

There is still a vast land in the north, but because of the cold weather, it is dominated by permafrost. It is also the hometown of the Desolate Race—that is, those humans with animal ears and tails... It is mainly divided into Eastern Desolation and Western Desolation. A relatively loose divided empire.

However, this world has also realized that the ground under its feet is round, and the coastal areas of the Eastern and Western Continents also communicate across the sea. If the northernmost point of the Northern Wilderness enters the polar frozen circle, it can go around the world by land.

It's just that Gai Picheng didn't understand the argument for the conclusion that "the planet is round". Correspondence" argument for a long time...

As for the "underground city" that Gai Picheng cares about, it has only appeared in various places in the last 300 years, a kind of "different space".

Because most of the "underground cities" discovered at the beginning were underground entrances, they were habitually named "underground cities", but they were not actually underground.

The creatures in the dungeon are different from human beings and monsters. They are like unconscious bodies that follow a certain logic—in Gai Picheng's understanding, they are equivalent to NPCs.

What's even more amazing is that each team is not in the same dungeon after entering it, just like a "duplicate".

And killing the creatures in the dungeon, there is a chance that the members of the killing team will get a card of a certain profession.

You must know that the "cards" in this world are not collectible and cannot be gifted. Before that, sub-professions are the same as main professions, and they can only be cultivated by themselves!

However, after the dungeon appears, as long as you collect [-] cards of the same class, that is, the minimum number of cards in the deck, you can replace it with a sub-class.

There are also some that can directly "explode" the professional card group.

This greatly strengthened the occupations above the third level, and at the same time, a large number of sub-occupations emerged, which naturally accelerated the development of civilization.

In the past two or three hundred years, legendary figures have appeared one after another, from Emperor Caladion of the Lieyang Empire, to Emperor Plector of the Dragon Sing Empire, and several saints born in the Changshi Peninsula... each leading the way, one after another.

The principle of the emergence of the dungeon is still a mystery, but everyone has discovered a commonality—the underlying logic of the dungeon seems to be based on the projection of some battles or major events in the Heroes Period or even earlier...

Many of the dungeons that have been discovered are ancient battlefields where gods fought in the age of heroes.

This is also why in history, the "archaeology" of the Heroes will become one of the most prominent studies... In fact, it is for the dungeon strategy!

But for the Jiulu region, especially the eastern Gobi, the history is not so profound.

Since more than 200 years ago, the rising Lieyang Empire has tried in vain to get its hands on the Jiulu Grassland, and has repeatedly fought wars with Jiulu's sturdy local tribes, winning and losing each other...

The main body of the Lieyang Empire is the Lizardmen, and the core is the Red Lizardmen. The empire was established after gradually unifying the four major Lizardmen. The tribes in the Jiulu Grassland are mostly Dayiyumen.

But relatively speaking, the old enemy that the Lieyang Empire cares more about is the Changshi Peninsula in the west. The Lieyang Empire has eroded part of the Jiulu Grassland for a hundred years, but it has always been in a stalemate with the city-states of the Changshi Peninsula, unable to make any progress.

Until 30 years ago, on the Longyin Plain in the north of the Changshi Peninsula, a small city-state rose up and established the Dragon Yin Empire. In ten years, it swept Lieyang, Jiulu, and even parts of the southern continent with great prosperity. The poetry peninsula is also prostrate at its feet...

Afterwards, Emperor Prector’s ambitions were still unsatisfied. It is said that he was in the Jiulu region, looking eastward at the Hero Kingdom, but... in the end, of course, he gave up some irrational thoughts—although the Hero Country has also changed dynasties, but "Heroes" "King" lasts forever!
Emperor Prector decided to turn to the southeast of the dwarf mountains, as if he wanted to "talk" with the dwarf kingdom, but he left a group of military outposts near the hero country.

However, his death was sudden after that. Emperor Prector, who was in his early thirties, died suddenly 20 years ago on the way to the dwarven mountains.

The Lieyang region, the Changshi region, and even the Dragonsong Empire were in turmoil one after another. The Dragonsin Empire, which lacked time to consolidate and had no suitable successor, fell apart and collapsed suddenly...

The expeditionary army who stayed in the eastern part of Jiulu saw that there was a rebellion in the country, and knew that going back would not lead to good results.

What's more, in Emperor Prector's army, there was a mixture of various races, and there was no reason to go back, so a considerable number of people stayed in the local area.

This is what India Xi said before, the historical cause of the mixed races in the east of Jiulu...

Today, on the grasslands in the west of Jiulu, various tribes are roaming around, and the Lieyang Empire in the south has been restored, but the strength is not the same level as before, only occupying the Lieyang Plateau and part of the Jiulu area.

The green lizardmen and yellow lizardmen conquered in the past 200 years have taken advantage of the trend to become independent. The goblins who were taken in and hired by Emperor Prector also seized part of the desert areas of Lieyang and Wine Deer, and formed an alliance with the desert dwarves to establish Union of Goblins and Dwarves.

The heroic country in the east seems to have never paid attention to this place. After all, the western part of the heroic country is the Dragon Valley where the dragons live, and it is also sparsely populated.

In the north of Jiulu, it is the Western Wilderness that has gone south, that is, the Chabat Empire.

The six city-states in the eastern part of Jiulu can be regarded as an alliance. The influence of Jiulu College is quite large, even attracting many students from the surrounding areas. Coupled with its neutral stance, and this place is originally a deserted place dominated by the Gobi, there has been nothing wrong with it for more than ten years. Threatening foreign enemies to covet, as in the long days before...

But 20 years ago, when Emperor Prector died suddenly, there was a war here.

It wasn't until 12 years ago that the great sage Miolivi from the Eastern Continent traveled here, mediated for the various city-states, and established the Jiulu Academy. This is the current situation...

As for the information about the tripartite performance, Ge Picheng has also found out that the other two parties are not from the other five city-states, but from the Lieyang Empire in the south, and the Xihuang and Chabat Empires in the north!

This is a performance that has been held every three years since the great sage founded the Jiulu Academy.

The great sage saw back then that the backcountry in the eastern part of Jiulu was in chaos. The reason for the chaos was that the two major forces, one south and one north, were fighting openly and covertly here. If you don't shock them, mediating the city-states is just scratching the surface!
During the three performances when the great sage was here, Jiulu College had a crushing advantage. However, when the great sage was not there in the last performance, Jiulu College was already weaker, and this time the West Wilderness appeared again. A princess who is known as a genius is already a fourth-tier professional, and there is also a prince in the Lieyang Empire who is getting more and more famous. He will come here as a representative at that time, so Jiulu Academy is also a little panicked...

Although it is not true that the six city-states will be involved in the war if they lose once, in fact the Lieyang Empire and the Chabat Empire themselves have a package of troubles, so they may not be interested in this Gobi, but once Jiulu Academy loses its transcendent academic status, it will certainly It is very detrimental to the six city-states.

From this, Gai Picheng can also imagine why India started to pin his hopes on "miracles".
