Lu Mingfei: The Return of King Eldon

Chapter 139
Half an hour later, Old Tang and Lu Mingfei stood between the bronze steles silently, looking at the dragon-like characters on it.

Queek's body had been placed, and the red dragon Myers was sent back to take care of the old duke.After the crisis was resolved, Old Tang finally relaxed.

He can finally take a serious look at his former capital.

"Are dragons used to writing on bronze tablets?" Lu Mingfei asked with his hands in his windbreaker pockets, looking at the inscriptions. "Old Tang, what is written here?"

"It's the history recorded by the official recorder." Old Tang stretched out his hand and gently stroked the complicated dragon inscriptions engraved on the copper pillar. "That flame god came to Earth only a week ago, right? Then the history recorded here should be true and credible."

Lu Mingfei nodded.It turned out that Old Tang came here specially to check the 2000-year history of the Gray Copper Throne.

Old Tang's fingers lightly brushed the bronze monument, and 2000 years of time condensed into water, flowing like a long river between his fingers.
"This period of history began to be recorded in 3 AD, after His Majesty Norton left the throne. I would like to use this monument to record all the history that happened on the Gray Bronze Throne after the king left." Old Tang read slowly, for the sake of Helping Lu Mingfei translate is also to make myself remember this history more clearly.

As the last host of the Gray Bronze Throne, the protagonist described in the inscription is undoubtedly the old Duke Ottofersen.

According to history, before Norton left, Ottofersen was a lively duke.

Compared with the other two dukes, Ottofersen has a philanthropic personality, doesn't like to kill, and is even more kind to his subordinates.In the prosperous and prosperous era of the royal capital, the Duke is not only good at mechanics, but also has a lot of research on human culture and customs.He once left the royal capital, transformed into an adult, and traveled around human society.

When the Duke returned to the capital, he made a suggestion: the reproduction of dragons should not be just for reproduction.If possible, dragons can also hold a wedding before giving birth to a dragon egg, similar to a human wedding.

"Even the act of reproduction requires a ceremony?" As expected, Duke Samson immediately mocked this. "I think you are really idle, Mr. Ottofersen, I really don't understand, what's the point of such behavior?"

Even so, under Ottoferson's initiative, the wedding...has really become the ceremony that young dragons are most interested in.The young dragons came to visit the Duke one after another, and invited the Duke to preside over the wedding for themselves.

Ottoforsen readily agreed that the Duke was also happy to preside over the marriage for them, no matter if it was the third generation or the humble fifth generation.

Despite the sarcasm, it is said that a few years later Samson privately betrothed his own child in advance.

During the days when His Majesty was still there, the Gray Bronze Throne was full of peace and joy, and even Norton himself was infected by the Duke's optimism and liveliness. "Maybe sometimes I do get too irritable," Norton said. "My bad temper really needs to be fixed."

His Majesty said so, but His Majesty did not do it.

Because not long after, the King of Sky and Wind attacked the capital and destroyed everything that was prosperous in the capital.Norton and Constantine left the capital, and the Duke sat in the trial hall, but the smile on his face never appeared again.

"From now on, all the responsibilities of the king's capital fall on me." On the day he entered the trial hall, the Duke said expressionlessly.

Since then, he has never hosted a wedding again.Not because of being busy, but because every new couple he witnessed died in battle.

Feng Wang did not let go of every red dragon, from the second generation to the fifth generation.Whenever the Duke closed his eyes, he could see the blood of his son when he died.

Problems ensued.Without Norton's fire element, maintaining the capital gradually made the Duke unable to do what he wanted. "I miss the days when I traveled in human society." Privately, the Duke sighed. "At that time, I have seen a hundred different people, and been to a hundred different mountains and seas. I was as free as a cloud in the sky. But now, I am trapped in this trial hall, as if I was bound An old bird in a cage."

"Your Majesty will be back." Long Shi didn't know how to comfort the Duke, so he could only comfort him in this way. "Maybe it was just an accident."

Of course, His Majesty did not come back.However, the humans in the capital died soon.Because of Norton's departure, the Gray Copper Throne could no longer maintain the fire elemental activity of the past.In the snow and ice of northern Europe, the farms and poultry houses built by humans have been abandoned, becoming heaps of cold and discarded metal.

The last human died in AD 143, in a bout of severe winter.When the last human died of illness, the Duke silently demolished the human dormitory building.It was a house he designed and built himself, and it was also his masterpiece in mechanics.But due to the lack of energy, he must become economical.

Since then, there have been no humans on the Gray Copper Throne.

But energy is not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the Duke's aging.The Duke once traveled throughout Europe when he was young, but in the seventh century AD, the Duke found that his physical strength began to decline.The attendant suggested that he eat the hearts of his compatriots and absorb the blood of his compatriots to delay aging, but the Duke was angry with this proposal: "My compatriots have been killed enough by the wind king, why? Let me hurt my compatriots Killer?"

The attendant backed down obediently, but the truth was far more cruel than the attendant's suggestion.

Since Norton's hatchery had been destroyed long ago, and the fire element was becoming thinner day by day, the efficiency of the Gray Copper Throne's reproduction dropped precipitously, and it never recovered to its former level.The duke's compatriots age faster, and his former compatriots are old and faltering long before the duke begins to age.In the end, old people can only be devoured by young people, and when reproduction cannot proceed, bones and blood can only be passed on through cannibalism.

The Duke watched his companions being devoured one by one, and didn't say anything. He just used his metal smelting ability to forge one tombstone after another.

He stubbornly tries to remember every compatriot in his life, but the truth is often not what he wants.

By the twelfth century, the duke's waiting had lasted from the early Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Yuan Dynasty.It wasn't until this time that the Duke gradually admitted the fact that His Majesty may have suffered a change and could never come back.

As a last resort, he also began to devour the flesh and blood of his compatriots.But it was too late, he was too old to digest the flesh of his fellow man.Even his memory became blurred. Whenever he came to the trial hall and faced new faces from generation to generation in the court, the Duke fell into confusion: Who are they?Why can't I even recognize a third of it?
After that, the Duke gradually withdrew from government affairs.The capital of the kingdom has shrunk to a miserable state, and the so-called government is nothing more than a few generations of sesame seeds.The Duke's favorite place has become a cemetery, and only when he crawls among the tombstones can he briefly remember his former compatriots.

The last time the Duke flew was in 1458 AD.The Duke, who was able to fly across the whole of Europe in the past, now has difficulty even flying out of the inner city.He only flew two or three miles, and finally almost fell down in the cemetery.When the attendants arrived sparsely, facing the tombstone of his youngest son who had been dead for 1500 years, the Duke cried.
