Chapter 672 The Glorious End

This time it was Segris' turn to remain silent. His old eyes looked at Shuer quietly, as if he wanted to see through his mind.

"Yes, the more I think about it, the more certain I am that your promotion process has not been completed yet, and you are not considered a complete god at all." Under the stunned eyes of the golden dragon Odin and even Moria, Shuer raised his voice and said loudly, " And everything you do, in addition to protecting your heirs and satisfying the ambitions of the Dragon Clan, the biggest purpose is for you, to help you complete the last step, or to help you make up for some of your previous mistakes."

"Your life has come to an end. I can see how much longer is left? One year? Two years? No, no, no, you are dragons, and your concept of time is different from ours, so your remaining time should be longer than I imagined. It will take longer, then... ten years? 20 years? I think it will never exceed 100 years. That's why you are so impatient, and you even hesitate to cooperate with the mages to give up part of the space in the wilderness."

"I thought it was strange before. This is not reasonable at all. According to the ancient covenant, mythical creatures retreated to the wilderness and gave up the civilized world to intelligent creatures. However, this is not a surrender treaty, and you are not being driven away. This covenant is more It's like dividing the border, one side belongs to mythical creatures, and the other side belongs to intelligent creatures. Under this agreement, mythical creatures will occasionally cross the boundary, but when they are on the opposite side, their life safety will no longer be protected by the covenant. How much damage will it cause? Whether they live or die, it all depends on themselves. If they are unlucky and cause the demigods to join forces to pursue the seizure, or even draw the wrath of the gods, they can only blame themselves. Of course, if they return to the wilderness in time after causing damage, Nor will they be held accountable, not even the gods, nor even the strongest among mortals, because they simply can’t tell which one is the murderer.”

"Over the past ten thousand years, there have been many precedents. After the mythical creatures crossed the border, they followed this step exactly. But...does it feel a bit familiar? Oh, I feel more and more familiar. When I think about it carefully, in fact, this Isn’t it just describing mercenaries? In the wild land, isn’t the treatment of mercenaries exactly the same as the treatment of mythical creatures in the civilized world?”

"In the same way, once you enter the opposite side, you will no longer be protected by the covenant. In the same way, life, death and harvest all depend on the team. In the same way, you must be careful not to disturb too many mythical creatures to avoid being besieged. As for the higher level of anger, that is, the anger of the dragon clan, I don’t know if it has happened, but I think if they go too far, it will definitely happen. After all, they are your children. And once they complete their mission and return to the civilized world, they will not be held accountable. Even if they meet the Dragon Clan head-on, the Dragon Clan will not take any measures. Isn't that idiot Dak an example? He has also gone on missions in the wilderness, and he often hangs out with the dragon Nick, and he has never found out that one day he was Nick bit it in half, tsk tsk, what a pity, what a pity."

"But if you think about it carefully, Nick didn't go there with this purpose when he met Dak. He wanted to break the covenant and avenge his children or... ahem, partners, but he finally controlled it and didn't take action. ?”

"No, Nick is just a simple idiot." Segris did not answer. The answer was the golden dragon Odin, and this answer was equivalent to confirming Shuer's guess.

"That's okay, I still have a chance to smash that idiot to death with my own hands." He lowered his head and muttered a few times insincerely. Shuur raised his head again and said, "Both parties have equal treatment. This is by no means an illusion. Mr. Odin also just said I agree with my feeling. In this case, I have every reason to suspect that the covenant itself was an agreement to demarcate the boundary, and it has the same effect on both parties."

Odin in human form looked at the silver dragon, and didn't say anything this time, just sighed lightly.

"For countless years, there has been almost no precedent for intelligent creatures to expand into wild lands, so...wait, something is wrong, something is wrong." Halfway through, Xiure stopped suddenly.There must be some question that I have overlooked. It is a very important question. Xiure frowned tightly and tapped his thigh with his fingers hastily. His expression was quite irritable, as if there was something he was about to recall, but he couldn't catch it. Focusing on the point, always being just a little bit short, this feeling is simply crazy.Fortunately, with a flash of inspiration, Shuer finally found the key to the problem, "No, there is something wrong with what I said just now. It is not without precedent. In the pioneering era long ago, the pioneers held high the flag and led the team. Into the wild, opened up a large territory for the civilized world."

"It was the most glorious golden age of intelligent life. All forces united to fight against the outside world. The territory increased greatly. New cities continued to emerge. Various innovations emerged one after another. Some of the technologies that pioneered the era cannot be used even today, thousands of years later. copy."

"It's a pity that the era of chaos ended all glory." "But this is unreasonable. When I first read history, I felt a little strange. There are obviously countless vast territories outside. Why did the era of pioneering end suddenly? Why did the era of chaos suddenly end? Arrival. It stands to reason that whether it is a coincidence, man-made... er, or divine factors, the emergence of an era of worldwide melee that lasted for thousands of years must be due to the existence of irreconcilable contradictions. However, the situation at that time, any irreconcilable Reconciled conflicts can be resolved by external expansion, so the era of chaos should not have come, at least not at that time."

"However, such a glorious era, such a passionate pioneering journey, unexpectedly came to an abrupt end without warning, as if everyone felt tired at the same time and did not want to continue to struggle, and suddenly stopped the pace of external development. However, this is not the kind of fairy-tale knight novel. The political, economic and military chariots driving at high speed are not like those works that can stop casually. Thousands of years of pioneering era have formed chariots in all aspects. If you want to stop the huge inertia, you must go through several generations of hard work. This is not something that can be decided by a group of people or even a group of gods. The inertia of the chariot is a regular choice. They will all be crushed mercilessly."

"So they were crushed. The political, economic and military chariots that were running at full speed could not be stopped, but they could not vent their energy outwards, so they could only accumulate contradictions internally. When the contradictions accumulated to the point that they could no longer be controlled, bang , the whole civilized world exploded, oh, the era of chaos has arrived. Praise the Lord, this behavior is simply suicide, and it is collective suicide. I have never been able to figure out why people at that time made such a choice."

"Now I finally understand, haha, it's not that they are too stupid, nor that they want to stop pioneering, they have to do this."

"Because this is the result of your fight back."

"Perhaps in the previous bet, the boundaries between the two parties were not clearly defined, nor were the rights of both parties stipulated. All changes actually occurred at the end of the pioneering era. And your status also changed at that time."

"Shur Wright." Segris raised his slender neck and stared at Shure, "Don't you think you already know too much?"

One person and one dragon looked at each other wordlessly. For a time, the wind and snow that continued all year round became stronger, and the environment became colder, chilling people to the core.

　I have to go home again today, so tired...

　　The pioneering era in this article is my favorite era. I have even seriously considered writing a side story set in the pioneering era in the future. If possible, I really don’t want it to end. Unfortunately, this is a struggle between many parties. The inevitable result is tears.
