The mage arrives

As for the books and materials that record the history of the Second Era, there are quite a few.Although the civilization created by the giant dragon has disappeared, this powerful race still lives in all parts of the world, even in various outer planes.Not to mention, there is also the huge ethnic group of Dragonborn.

Today, the two most powerful empires in the main material world: the Platinum Empire Freyton and the Black Dragon Empire Northengard, the royal families are all dragon-born families.Moreover, as the first race under the gods to master the mysteries of magic, the giant dragon has always been the object of worship and obsession by many people.All kinds of "Dragon Scientists" are very popular among the noble class and ordinary citizens.

The dragon provides power to the dragonborn, and the dragonborn establishes a country, rules other races with order, and provides services for the dragon.This is the ecosystem of the second quarter yuan period.

In that era, the dragon descendants established many kingdoms, among which the most shining, the most glorious, representing the highest peak of civilization and culture, is the dragon descendant empire of Arkhosia.

"The glory of the empire is the glory of the dragonborn, and the death of the empire is also the glory of the dragonborn."

This is the most widely circulated motto in the Arkhosian Empire.

However, prosperity must decline, and things must reverse. This is the invariable law of everything.Just like the Sun Elf Empire and the Netherdulan Magic Empire in the third era, the Arkhosian Dragonborn Empire was also destroyed by a terrible civil war in its heyday.

At that time, the emperor of the empire was a dragon descendant of a golden dragon named "Lord of Gold".As a metal dragon, he believes in the platinum dragon god Bahamut, and is committed to improving the status of metal dragon descendants, and constantly suppressing five-color dragon descendants, and even once declared the Church of Tiamat as an illegal cult.

Such an approach naturally intensified the racial conflicts within the empire, and eventually led to the outbreak of civil war.

And this war.Not only among the dragon descendants, but also many giant dragons and the two dragon gods were involved.

The fall of the Arkhosian Empire is as much a legend as its founding.A large number of lords were killed in battle, and the people were displaced into the wilderness because of the war. The two factions of the five-color dragon and the metal dragon dragged the empire into the abyss of destruction.When the flames of war disappeared and the roar of the giant dragon subsided, there was nothing left except countless city ruins and a large amount of land polluted by magical power.

But even after thousands of years of long history, it is now in many dragonborn families.Stories of the glorious Arkhosian Empire still linger.Many dragon descendants still regard themselves as citizens of the Arkhosian Empire. For them, Arkhosia is not only a name, but also a symbol of glory and nobility.

Gordon recalled the records about the Dragonborn Empire in the book.He didn't do much research in this area, and he was only at the level of an ordinary mage.Why did Archbishop Cyprus watch such a scene for himself.He still doesn't know.

As if he knew what Gordon was thinking.Archmage Cyprus Ding said leisurely: "The Arkhosian Empire was destroyed due to the civil war, but the battles between the five-color dragons and the metal dragons, Tiamat and Bahamut, did not stop there."

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, I'm not a dragonborn." Gordon shrugged.

"This is not necessarily the case. The war between the dragon and the dragonborn, whether intentional or unintentional, everyone will be involved." Archmage Cyprus Ding showed a mysterious smile.

"Uh..." Gordon thought about it carefully, and it was true.The conflict between his homeland in the world of Tylos, the Platinum Empire Freyton, and his deadly enemy, the Black Dragon Empire Northengard, began when the country was founded.It never stopped.Endless frictions and disputes eventually escalated into wars.It was not until the two countries were exhausted that they had to cease fighting and enter a period of peace.When the two parties regained their vitality, it was a new round of cycle...

If we go back to the source, the grievances between Freyton and Northengard can also be counted as the civil war between the two dragon-born tribes that led to the destruction of the Arkhosian Empire.

"But don't worry, young man. I didn't come to you to resolve the thousand-year grievances between the five-color dragon clan and the metal dragon clan."

"Then why did you make such a big battle? It should take a lot of energy to vividly reproduce the big scene of the civil war between the two sides?" Gordon complained in his heart.These so-called white-bearded grandpas, seniors, like to make some mysterious things to fool people.

As if he had understood Gordon's thoughts, Master Cyprus Ding coughed dryly and said, "I just wanted to give you a history lesson on a whim. What's more, a good story also needs a grand background. set up."

"Wouldn't your hobby be writing novels?"

Archmage Cyprus Ding showed a rare strange look, which seemed to be what Gordon said.He changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's talk about business. I need help with a small matter."

Gordon felt that the "little things" in the other party's mouth should be put in quotation marks.It's a trivial matter for a friend to ask you to go to the cafeteria for dinner.The entrustment of the legendary archmage is definitely not easy.

"Well, in order to mobilize your enthusiasm, I think I should first tell you what reward you can get." Cyprus Ding said.

He waved his magic staff lightly in front of him, and the brilliant brilliance overflowing from the head of the staff was like the wonderful brush of a master painter, creating a lifelike jeweled crow.

"quack?"

"No, this is my pet Poser." Sepulstin teased the jeweled crow, smiling happily, "Your magic pet is called Gaga? It's a very cute name. Your aptitude is good, and I have recognized it. At the same time, he won Poser's test with kindness. That's why he will give his child to you."

This master, one pet, one person, one bird, two souls, talking and playing in front of Gordon, seemed very happy.

"However, your Demon Pet Gaga is not in a complete state. Because when the gemstone crow reproduces, it must die. However, my Poser obviously did not meet the standard of 'death'. It still wanders in the main substance in a ghost state World, follow me, my unsatisfactory master. You must help it fulfill its wish, and its soul will rest in peace, so that your familiar will gain a complete life and its strength will increase greatly."

"And I want to fulfill Poser's wish, in fact, I want to fulfill your wish, isn't it? After all, the familiar and the master are inseparable."

"Smart!" Cyprus Ding snapped his fingers, "The young man I'm looking at really has considerable wisdom. My soul has been wandering here for almost a thousand years, so naturally there are things that must be done."

"To be honest, what do you need me to do on the ancient road?"

Gordon felt that if the old mage in front of him was matched with a top hat, he would be almost the same as the Gandalf who abducted the poor hobbit to participate in the dragon slaying task.

"You call the road we walked the ancient road?" Cyprus Ding looked leisurely and fascinated, as if recalling the years of fighting back then.Gordon discovered for the first time that ghost form can have such rich and vivid expressions.

"It's been so long, and I can use the adjective 'ancient' myself." The old mage sighed, and said suddenly, "There is not much time left, and I should leave too. Enter your dream, and I will go back to you." It really takes a lot of effort, see you next time. In short, as long as you continue to walk along this ancient road, the answer will be revealed. In addition to giving your magic pet full life, I have additional rewards Here you go. Don’t forget, I am a legendary mage anyway. Before I leave the main material world and enter Lord Bahamut’s divine kingdom, I also hope that my hard work will not be forgotten. You, maybe you are the one who is qualified to succeed me legacy."

It's heritage again... After Gordon experienced the adventure of the Danzig ruins, he was a little bit cold about the word "heritage".But why did the old mage leave halfway through his speech?Knowing that it is very laborious to communicate with me through dreams, just now I used illusion to create a blockbuster fantasy war for myself to enjoy... It seems that the older people are, the more confused they become.After nearly a thousand years of cleansing, Rao, even the legendary mage back then, has become overwhelmed with priorities.

In a flash, the battle of thousands of giant dragons, the burning city, the attacked dragon-born citizens, and the ghost of Cyprus Ding, the old mage with white beard, all disappeared without a trace.

Gordon's sea of ​​consciousness was plunged into darkness.

Woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, Gordon found that it was early morning.Although he was disturbed by a thousand-year-old ghost in his sleep, he still had a good rest and felt more energetic than ever.

Gordon stretched beautifully, got up and put on the mage robe.He pushed open the door, walked out of Leo Meng's shelter, and then canceled the spell.

There was silence in the Crystal Cave, save for the occasional snore.Those who didn't have the conditions to sleep directly on the ground with their clothes on, and those who had the conditions, like Xiona, put up a small tent.The scene of thousands of people sleeping soundly at the same time, combined with the mysterious purple light emitted by the crystal, forms a rather interesting picture.

Gordon was going to go ahead to see how long the crystal cave was and how long it would take to reach the exit.As soon as he took a few steps, he heard the sound of dripping water coming from ahead.

The keen senses brought by the heir of blood allowed him to clearly hear subtle sounds in the distance.Gordon followed the sound and walked to a pool, and found Faliya squatting on her giant frost bear—it seemed to be called Flame Claw, carefully scrubbing the body of this huge mount.

The giant bear seemed to enjoy the service of the hostess, and he closed his eyes comfortably, showing a harmless expression to humans and animals. It was not the same existence as the rampant and indestructible biological tank on the battlefield.

Faliya wiped the bear's back with a gentle and calm smile on her face.Compared with men, she seems to be more likely to reveal the gentle beauty of women in front of animals.

"Mage, are you up?"

Gordon was about to leave quietly, but he was discovered by the other party.This grand duke's daughter must have a very high perception attribute.

Gordon could only nod and walked over.

"Have you ever had a dream that was as realistic as if you were in the real world?" Before Gordon could say hello and say good morning, Falia suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Gordon. (To be continued..)
