Chapter 669 Thousand Cave City was attacked

That's right, Thousand Caves City is currently in the midst of a war, and densely packed demonized creatures are being driven by demon species to attack Thousand Caves City.

And standing on the wall of Thousand Caves City was a graceful female archer, bending her bow and arrows again and again to shoot at the demons attacking the city wall.

Although the distance was far away, Bailixiu could still see clearly that this person was Jialuo.

When Baili Xiu sensed Jialuo, he was also aware of Jialuo's keenness. However, Jialuo was having a hard time at this time because of the overwhelming number of demonized creatures and demon species, as well as Jialuo's... Too busy.

When Bailixiu looked at Jia Luo, it was natural that the game background story about Jia Luo in the Game of Kings appeared in her mind.

When Jialuo was young, his mother died.As an only daughter, she grew up under the guidance of her father.As a patriarch and scholar, my father has extensive knowledge and noble character.He personally taught his daughter knowledge and a deep love for books.

"Look, these ancient handwritings were copied stroke by stroke by our ancestors. We even had to pay twelve taels of gold to borrow them from the collector for three days and stay up all night to finish them."

"Why is it so expensive?" the little girl asked puzzledly.

"Many books were destroyed because of the war. They need to be very careful to preserve them. Therefore, they will only be lent to those who truly love them and have the strength to treasure them."

"But books can neither fill our stomachs nor make our lives easier."

"That's true for most people. But, Garo, it can make us immortal."

"Eternal life? Aren't books easily damaged?"

"Books record the origins of our ancestors, the history of our families, and the deeds of many other ancestors and other families. They record all of our writing and creation... Do you understand? The name of the king, your name and mine. ... will eventually disappear in time. But even if only a few words are left, future generations will eventually be able to hear what a wonderful civilization we have created. This is eternal life."

The father looked at Thousand Cave City and said solemnly: "Books are indeed a fleeting thing. But civilization can be born in books, and civilization will last forever."

"Our family exists because of books and civilization."

The girl seemed to understand.Under the influence of books, she grew up day by day, and rode horses on the Jade Road many times, just like her ancestors, traveling long distances to buy or copy certain classics.She is the daughter of Thousand Cave City.For Thousand Cave City, books are no longer just books, but also the existence of faith.

But both she and her father had forgotten that the vast sea of ​​books not only created civilization, but also recorded knowledge.And knowledge contains unimaginable power: it's about destruction, it's about destruction.

The turning point came earlier than expected.

It was supposed to be a great day.The successor of Jade City and Su Lie, the chief of the Great Wall Guards, reached an agreement on mutual trade, so the two sides removed their guards and allowed the border residents to exchange their needs.Jialuo participated in this long-lost Guanshi and gained a lot.It’s been a long time since I bought books from Chang’an so much.But she didn't know that this was the last beauty of Yunzhong Desert and the beginning of disaster.

On the way back, she noticed unusual movements of the demon species.Although sporadic demon species appear on weekdays, such a large-scale operation has never been seen before.The hovering evil creature was flying in the direction of Thousand Caves City.An ominous premonition came to mind and soon became a reality: when she rushed there, the entire Thousand Caves City had been torn apart by flames, screams and hordes of demons.The cliff, carved with a thousand grottoes, is gradually collapsing.

"Father!" The long bow in his hand passed through the demon's body.Jialuo struggled to climb the long stone steps, trying to get closer to his relatives.

The old man put down his long staff.The entire Thousand Caves City fell without any defense, and the pages of the book were ignited by flames, flying all over the sky.Generations of hard work were ruined. "who are you? What do "you" want? Do "you" think that you can get what "you" desire by using demon seeds, using force, and using Thousand Caves City as a sacrifice?
No!Books are a fleeting thing.Civilization can survive forever.

But he claimed to be the guardian of Thousand Cave City, and all his struggles were so insignificant and ridiculous in the face of the overwhelming destructive power.When the books no longer exist, the power to support the body gradually disappears.Unstoppable heartache... This broken body is no longer worthy of the responsibility it continues to shoulder.

"Father!"

The old man seemed to have heard the call of his beloved daughter. He paused, raised his crutch as a greeting, and waved it as a farewell.Then, just like walking leisurely through the collection of books accumulated by generations of family members, slowly, quietly, but firmly walked into the collapsed grotto.

He chose to live and die with the book.

"I leave it to you, Galo."

The woman with the longbow stopped.Tears flowed silently down her cheeks.

"Father, let me handle your regrets. I will bring back all the books that have been strayed."

When the sun set, she left her hometown to find the books scattered due to the attack of the demon species.At that time, she already knew that the Great Wall, Jade City, Thousand Caves City... were all in danger due to the demon species.Inexplicable doubts lingered in my heart.Did the strangely behaving demon species come from the collection of books in Thousand Cave City?Are they really connected with some unknown knowledge in the Thousand Cave City's books?

"If, if the guess is true... I will also bear this crime."

For a long time, her footsteps traveled all over the desert in the clouds.

It wasn't until some time later... that the homeless man who was attacked by demons brought her to the dying man.Jia Luo rescued the man and heard another story:
"I am a sinner."

"I betrayed my friend's trust in me and regarded him as a villain who attracted demon seeds. It destroyed the peace of the Great Wall."

Jialuo put down the Qiang flute, and his calm mind at any time had ripples of unevenness.

This is the encounter between two sinners.

This is the beginning of the germination of truth.

………………

However, after all, this is the background story of Jialuo in Bailixiu's memory, not the background story of the current King of Continent. There may be some connection, but there are differences between the two.

In Baili Xiu's memory, Thousand Cave City has been destroyed, and although Thousand Cave City is now in danger, it still stands under the protection of Jialuo. Of course, Bailixiu also knows that if he doesn't take action, Jialuo alone may not be able to survive today. After that, this Thousand Caves City may cease to exist!
However, just when Bailixiu was about to come to the rescue, the head of the joint caravan came over and said to Bailixiu:

"Captain Baili, there are a lot of demonized creatures and demon species in Thousand Cave City ahead, so we'd better take a detour!"
