Looking Forward to Another World

Soon, Yanifet took Li Ge to their destination.

That is another cave located on the other side of the igloo village, far opposite to the stalactite cave.

This cave is as big as the previous stalactite cave, or even slightly larger.

However, there are no stalactites everywhere in this cave, there are just rows of... tombstones.

"...Is this a cemetery?"

Looking at the tombstones, Li Ge spoke slowly.

"Yes." Yanifet nodded coldly, as if the things in front of her had nothing to do with her, and said: "The history of the Tistis tribe can be traced back to the extinction period of the ancient magical civilization 11,000 years ago. As survivors, they finally arrived here after a long journey across the dangerous terrain of the continent.”

"Since then, the Tistis tribe has thrived here for generations, and the dead will be buried here with the ice and snow."

"The cemetery you see now, just in terms of the years it has gone through, is not much worse than any ancient ruins that appear across the continent."

Yanifet said as she walked into the cemetery minding her own business.

"Isn't this right?"

Li Ge followed Yanifet and looked at the rows of tombstones. After a while, he suddenly frowned and said something.

"There are a lot of tombstones here, but the village outside is actually not that big. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many people living there."

"But it has been at least 10,000 years since the Tistis family came to this land. No matter what, there shouldn't be only a few people left living in such a small village."

"Isn't this unreasonable?"

Li Ge has doubts about this.

You must know that the Hidden Land began to multiply around the same period. The last fire of the ancient magical civilization was sent there. After 11,000 years, it has now formed a quite astonishing population.

Ivy and Leo had told Li Ge some information about the hidden place.

There, although there is no such power as a country, there are twelve main cities, forty-eight subsidiary cities, one hundred and eight towns, and at least one thousand villages.

Among them, the twelve main cities have a population of more than one million people, and the forty-eight subsidiary cities have an average population of hundreds of thousands. Coupled with a large number of towns and villages, the population of the hidden land is very large. At least tens of millions, nearly 100 million.

This is because many people in history have left the hidden land and come to the Akasha continent to thrive.

In other words, the people on the Akasha continent actually trace their origins to the fact that their ancestors came from a hidden place.

And what is the population of the entire Akasha continent?

The Kingdom of Jinas alone has a population of more than 10 million.

This population is actually quite astonishing. After all, this world is not like the modern world in Li Ge’s previous life. It is relatively peaceful. Countries here are at war with each other all year round. Countless countries have been destroyed in history. At least tens of thousands of people will die in a war. If a strategic-level magician appears on the battlefield and a strategic-level magic is thrown down, hundreds of thousands of people will be burned to ashes on the spot, and they will die extremely hard. die.

Not to mention, there are still people in this world who fight with each other, there are thieves running rampant in the wild, and slave traders are arresting people at will. The annual death rate is still high.

Coupled with differences in living environment and culture, etc., the fertility rate is not high. Except for the nobles who can unscrupulously give birth to a litter, the rest of the people are getting by. In the Akasha continent, a big country can have countless A population of tens of millions is already considered a lot.

And these populations were reproduced in the eleven thousand years after the ancient magical civilization became extinct.

Eleven thousand years is an extremely long time.

This period of time is used for reproduction and reproduction, which can easily cause the population to explode to a terrifying level.

Therefore, even taking into account the differences in the world, the high mortality rate caused by wars and battles, and other factors, the history of the tribe can be traced back to the Thistis family 11,000 years ago, and it should not be just this little bit. people.

It's hard to judge now. This tribe has basically integrated into the kingdom, and it may have a large population.

But hundreds of years before it was integrated into the kingdom, the Titis tribe had already experienced at least 10,000 years. How could there be only such a village that could live in about a thousand people?

This is obviously unreasonable.

"…………"

Hearing Li Ge's words, Yanifet stopped, turned around, and looked at him.

Li Ge immediately met Yanifet's gaze, his eyes full of doubts.

After a few seconds, Yanifet looked away.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Yanifet's tone became as cold and ruthless as at the beginning, and said: "There are not as many newborns in the Tistis family as you think."

"On the contrary, they produce very few offspring, usually one, two at most, and only three when a miracle happens."

"This is mainly for two reasons."

Yanifet whispered.

"The first reason is bloodline."

Bloodline?

Li Ge's frown deepened.

"Since you know about Reinnail, you may also know that the bloodline of that heroic family is extremely extraordinary." Yanifet said lightly: "The people of this family are very favored by "gods". Every once in a while In time, there will be a person who, like their ancestors, can step onto the ladder of light and gain powerful power. "

"The ancestors of Reinnail gained the power from this. They rose from the bottom, led mankind out of trouble, and established an ancient magical civilization."

"And the power that the heroic ancestor gained from "God", in addition to the sword skills and magic that can be taught to humans, is the holy sword and bloodline that their clan is most proud of. "

Li Ge probably understood what Yanifet meant.

There is no doubt that the ancestors of the Reinnail family, like himself, received the assistance of the Dimensional Cube and were able to travel to other worlds through dimensions and go to other worlds to find opportunities to gain power.

Just like when I first traveled across dimensions and arrived in the Earthly World, and received the power called "favor" from Loki, the heroic ancestor also acquired magic and sword skills in a different world, and also assimilated He acquired a powerful weapon and brought it back, the Sword of Mosro.

The Sword of Mosro is indeed very strong and contains astonishing power. Rige has never seen this sword truly show its power.

It is called the Holy Sword, which seems to be a matter of course.

As for Reinnail's bloodline, Li Ge had already learned about its extraordinary nature through Liz.

It now seems that the reason why the bloodline of the heroic family is so extraordinary is probably because the heroic ancestor or others in Reinnail gained this power in a different world through dimensional travel.

Since this power is blood, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has naturally created the universal and extraordinary blood of the Reinnail family.

"As the original followers and vassals of the Reinnail clan, the Thistis family actually obtained their holy sword and bloodline with the help of that royal family."

Yanifet revealed such a secret that surprised Li Ge.

"In that era, there were two powerful holy swords and two extraordinary bloodlines."

"Reinnail is in charge of the original holy sword, which is called the Sword of the King, the Sword of Light, and the Sword of God."

"Thistis is in charge of the next generation of holy swords, which are called the Sword of the Lord, the Sword of Ice, and the Sword of the Lake."

"Therefore, the Thistis family has always been Reinnail's most loyal followers, and they are also close ministers who have never changed."

"Because this family is the only one with a powerful holy sword and extraordinary bloodline like Reinnail."

Yanifet continued to walk forward, talking as she walked.

"But the bloodline is extraordinary, and reproduction is not as easy as ordinary people."

"Whether it is Reinnail or Thistis, the birth rate of newborns is not high. In most cases, they are passed down by a single line. Only occasionally, multiple newborns are born."

"It's good for Tistis. They will intermarry with foreign races, so they can form large families and tribes with at least hundreds of people."

"Leinair is different. As a royal family, he rarely marries ordinary people. The power of his bloodline has not been diluted, so it is particularly difficult to reproduce. Basically, it is passed down from a single line."

Yanifet's explanation solved part of Li Ge's doubts.

"What about the second reason?"

Li Ge's inquiry was met with an even colder and more ruthless answer from Yanifet.

"The second reason is the curse."

Hearing this, Li Ge stopped walking.

"curse?"

He looked at Yanifet in surprise.

Under his gaze, Yanifet explained calmly.

"At the end of the ancient magical civilization, the "King of Disaster" who led to the extinction of this powerful civilization also had a total of three monster kings under his command. "

"The first one is the most powerful Fire Dragon King."

"The second one is the Swamp Beast King who pollutes the earth."

"The third one is the giant king who devours everything."

Yanifet once again revealed a secret history that no one knew about.

"The king of the three monsters, the Fire Dragon was sealed when the priests of the temple were willing to sacrifice. The giant disappeared mysteriously before the final battle broke out. The Swamp Beast was defeated by the Thistis family."

"However, after defeating the Swamp Beast King, the people of the Thistis family were also cursed by the other party's power, and the essence of their lives was contaminated."

"Since then, people in the Thistis family have become very short-lived. The stronger the bloodline, the shorter the lifespan. As a result, many people died of illness in their prime."

This is why after so many years of reproduction, the population of the Titis tribe is still very small.

The powerful bloodline itself makes it particularly difficult for them to reproduce. If they become short-lived due to this curse, the growth of the population will naturally be very unsatisfactory.

"Is it because of this reason that the first queen integrated the Tess tribe into the queen's kingdom?"

Since those with thicker bloodlines are more likely to die, continuous intermarriage with foreign races, diluting the bloodline, and thoroughly integrating into the country will naturally solve this problem.

Incidentally, it can also solve the problem of difficulty in reproduction, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

But in this way, the precious blood of the Thistis family will completely disappear with continuous dilution.

"This is not a bad thing." Yanifet said calmly: "Since it is cursed blood, then it is okay not to use this blood."

Li Ge took a deep look at Yanifet, and then nodded noncommittally.

"It seems that the first-generation queen from the Tistis family is not only very courageous, but also very extraordinary." Li Ge said with a hint: "The bloodline of the Tistis family has been polluted and cursed. Many people die in their prime of life, so the fact that the first queen lived so long could not be because her bloodline was too thin, right?"

Yuli once said that the health of the first queen began to deteriorate rapidly after the founding of Queen Thistis, and she finally died of a serious illness at the age of 55.

This queen actually survived to the age of 55 even though her bloodline was cursed. Now it seems that she has actually lived a long life.

Perhaps it was because she had seen too many tribesmen die at a young age, and her own health deteriorated sharply due to the curse, that the queen gave birth to a child who integrated the Tistis tribe into the queen's kingdom, completely diluting the blood of the Tistis family. idea.

When Li Ge was thinking this, Yanifet sneered sarcastically.

"It's just a matter of hanging on for a while. If you can't shine on the battlefield, you might as well not live that long."

After saying this, Yanifet stopped mentioning this topic.

"arrive."

She stopped at the deepest part of the cemetery.

Li Ge also stopped and looked forward.

I saw that in the deepest part of the cemetery, there was a pool.

The pool is not big, about six meters long and four meters wide. It is filled with water, and the water is still emitting a strange fragrance.

Li Ge subconsciously moved his nose, then frowned.

"The smell of blood..."

Yes.

The strange fragrance was actually mixed with the smell of blood.

However, this seems to be what Yanifet is looking for.

"...Hundreds of years have passed, and this place is still functioning well. I really don't know whether to feel happy or sad."

Yanifet stared at the pool for a long time, and then slowly walked towards the pool.

On the way to the pool, Yanifet also took off the coat on her body, and walked into the pool naked in front of Li Ge, swaying her beautiful devil figure.

At this moment, the pool began to boil, as if it had been heated to the boiling point all of a sudden, and countless bubbles appeared on the surface of the water.

"Chichi..."

Then, the boiling water in the pool slowly flowed and converged in the direction of Yanifet who was sinking into the water.

Li Ge's eyes immediately flashed with transparent luster as he looked at that scene.

Through the observation of the world, Li Ge could see that the boiling water was seeping into Yanifet's body.

"What on earth is she doing?"

Li Ge murmured in his heart.
