Chapter 1082 The Secret History of Human Dragons

***************************************************

******************************************

"This... I'm afraid there's a problem. Wu, you don't know much about the Dragon Clan's affairs. It's very difficult to ask for things from them. It's even more difficult."

Kane said to me in a heavy tone that was almost like "please have a moment of silence."

"What happened in the past that made the relationship between dragons and humans so tense?"

Coming to the ninth year of Darkness, I have heard a lot of unconfirmed rumors. I only know that the dragon clan and humans seemed to have a quarrel at that time, so the dragon clan was furious and built the Dragon Paradise on the other side of the distant forest.

It's better to be out of sight than to be clean.

According to my experience of the urinary behavior of mankind when the Holy See ruled mankind in the past, most likely it was mankind's own fault.

However, very few people know the true face of this period of history. I wanted to ask Kane several times, but as one of the two elders who are really in charge, he is usually very busy and has no time to sit down and give advice.

I was in history class, so I never could speak.

Now, it seems like a good opportunity.

"Well, it's hard to put into words."

Kane showed a very complicated, or rather painful look, and he unconsciously pinched several of his neat white beards. If Old Man Farah saw this scene, he would definitely dance with joy.

.

"I don't know the exact year. It should have been some time hundreds of thousands of years ago." His eyes were cloudy, and Kane seemed to be completely immersed in that period of history.

"There was a conflict between humans and dragons, which eventually led to a fierce battle between humans and dragons that was probably as brutal as the current hell invasion war. The final battlefield was in the Western Kingdom."

"Are those dragon bones on the rubble wasteland left over from the war?!!"

Hearing Kane say this, I suddenly remembered that when I was training in Lu Gaoyin, I accidentally saw the sand and dust buried in the gravel wilderness, only half of the dragon's skeleton was exposed. At that time, I was still thinking that there must be a considerable period in it.

Black history, not just me, anyone who sees it will also think so. They will immediately associate it with the dragon clan no longer reappearing and gradually become a legend. Then they will think of the elves living in seclusion in the forest, think of xxxx, and finally think of human beings at that time.

He was urinating and showed a sarcastic smile.

The sins committed by our ancestors have all been tasted by our descendants.

"That's right, it was left over from the battle between humans and dragons at that time." After saying this, Kane's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"Those skeletons can be regarded as an eternal mystery. After the War between Humans and Dragons, the Holy See at that time sealed this part of history away. Only a thousand years later, there are very few people who know this part of history. Those who have been left in the desert have been left to this day.

, the dragon skeleton, which cannot be eroded by time, has become an unsolvable mystery for the vast majority of people in the world for hundreds of thousands of years."

"Since the Holy See wants to seal this period of history, why not dispose of these dragon bones? Wouldn't it be unnecessary to expose them?"

Thinking of the doubts in it, I couldn't help but become curious, what kind of dark history is hidden in it?

"This... I don't know much about it. Over the years, I have experienced countless rises and falls, and races have prospered and declined. Even the Holy See, which rules the entire human world with absolute power, has experienced many turmoils, which seriously damaged its vitality, leading to the situation thousands of years ago.

, was directly defeated by the invading Hell Clan."

Stroking his white beard, the expression on Kane's old face was full of a sense of historical desolation.

"After experiencing so many ups and downs, those handwritten notes that recorded precious history disappeared in the flames of war again and again. Although selfless scholars later added it, after all, it was impossible to completely restore those long-lasting histories.

, even only the scales are left.”

"I have a lot of history books in my house that cannot be released to the outside world. There is no need for you to hide them, Wu. Why don't you just come to my house and take a good look at them when you have time? Of course, you can't take them away."

"Then... forget it then. Didn't you also say that my main task now is to increase my strength?"

When Kane said this, I was stunned. Come on, there is nothing cute about a literary boy. The setting of "a boy sitting in the library quietly reading a book" will only make people flash through their brains in an instant at best.

:This guy must be hiding and watching secretly or compiling a h book.

"The accumulation of knowledge cannot directly increase strength, but it is also very helpful in improving survival rate."

It seems that Kane is not ready to give up convincing me yet, and continues to follow the good advice.

"Have you not noticed? Many of us scholars are ordinary people who do not have the strength to protect themselves as adventurers, but we can still travel thousands of miles alone, traveling to every corner of the world, exploring the remains of civilization and history.

I won’t be threatened by the hell clan and ordinary monsters because I rely on this accumulated knowledge.”

"Ahem, Kane, if Wu doesn't want to, don't force it. To reach the level of a practicing scholar, even a genius must have twenty or thirty years of knowledge accumulation..."

Akara coughed a few times and knocked on Kane, whose eyes were gradually becoming fanatical.

Oh, well said, Grandma Akara, I can’t thank you enough for helping me out. But, um, let me ask you weakly, what does “even a genius” mean? In fact, there is another sentence after it, omitting “More

Not to mention a faceless passerby like Wu who can kill a few casually if a pillar is smashed down." I guess.

"I'm sorry, sorry, it's a professional problem. I unconsciously... ahem, where did I just say it?" Kane laughed awkwardly and changed the subject.

"Speaking of many historical books, they have been destroyed in the flames of war." I reminded me with a rare memory.

"Hmm, let's continue. It is precisely because of this that no one can understand the detailed time and circumstances of the Dragon Clan and the human-dragon battle at that time. I don't know it very well either. I just remember..."

"Before that battle, the Western Kingdom had another title - the Kingdom of Thousand Cities."

"A country with a thousand cities?"

My eyes widened. It sounded like a setting that was 100 million times more powerful than King of Kings.

"That's right. Speaking of which, Wu, what do you think of the current Western Kingdom?" Kane suddenly asked this question.

"That... Lu Gaoyin is known as the City of Jewels and the City of Commerce. It is a country full of [gold]. It is probably the most prosperous and rich kingdom in the Dark Continent."

I tilted my head and thought about it, then recounted all the information I had obtained.

"Yes, it's roughly like this. If the city of jewelry and commerce in the past was only this level, then we humans would be too pitiful. You know, before the invasion of hell, humans were ten times more prosperous.

, and hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was the climax of the rise of mankind. At that time, the human country was probably more than a hundred times more prosperous than it is now. Therefore, in my opinion, although most people now regard the former Holy See as

It is a cancer of mankind, but without the Holy See, mankind may not be able to be so prosperous. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. When dealing with history, we cannot just look at the surface, we must think about what is not expressed in words..."

"Cough cough, cough cough cough!!"

When Kane started nagging, he showed his fault as a scholar. If he was not organized, he would definitely talk for three days and three nights and still not get enough of it.

As a result, under Akela's desperate glare and coughing, Kane finally came back to his senses.

"Ahem, Wu, what I said just now, I just want to tell you one fact." Kane drank water, calmed his fevered brain, and said slowly, word by word.

"The prosperity of the Western Kingdom before the Human Dragon was definitely more than a thousand times that of Lu Gaoyin today. Lu Gaoyin was just one of the most prosperous cities in the Western Kingdom at that time. It is truly a country with a thousand cities."

"One...a thousand times?!" I was stunned.

To me, the current Lu Gaoyin is no less than the large cities in the original world. Although there is no advanced technology or tall buildings, there is endless useful land there. It is just a Lu Gaoyin city.

It has a population of over one million, while the other four cities have smaller populations. Among them, Oasis City has the largest population, with over one million people, and Lost City has the smallest population, with less than 100,000 people.

In total, there are millions of people in the entire Western Kingdom. In terms of the Dark Continent, this can be called a super kingdom. If there were a thousand times more than before, wouldn't it be...

I raised my fingers again to count. By the way, how many times did I raise my fingers today? Forget about such inconsequential things, there is no need to pursue them. In short, my final result was astonishing.

"Doesn't that mean that before the War between Man and Dragon... the population of the Western Kingdom was several billion?"

My eyes widened, how embarrassing was this for me to wait for the Heavenly Dynasty?

"Ahem, we can't just calculate it based on population. If the population is several billion, including the floating population, it's probably not that big. The permanent population is probably several hundred million, but this is a fact."

"Several hundred million..."

It must have been completely assimilated by the Dark Continent in the past nine years. When I heard about the kingdom with a population of hundreds of millions, I was hugely surprised.

"Haha, in terms of maritime trade, the Western Kingdom at that time was known as sailing for hundreds of miles. In other words, if the merchant ships docked on the twin coasts at that time were connected one by one and the canvas was spread out, they could be stretched into a continuous sea dozens of miles wide.

There is a white sea and land that is hundreds of miles long, and the land trade is even more huge. It is paved with jewels. It is called the Risu Golden City, which means that the jewels of the entire western kingdom can be paved with roads. There are gold coins in one day.

The transaction volume is enough to build a golden city."

I was stunned by Kane's words and had no reaction at all. The merchant ships stretching for hundreds of miles, the roads paved with jewels, and the cities made of gold. For a stingy person like me, the third stingy person in the camp, every word and every sentence was profound.

It deeply shocked my heart.

"But... But these words are too exaggerated. Grandpa Kane, think about it. Although the Western Kingdom does occupy the most advantageous location now, it is always a desert and there are not many places where people can live.

It is a country with a thousand cities, so..."

After reacting, I immediately found something suspicious in it. Yes, the country of a thousand cities, the western kingdom with deserts all over the land, where could there be so much space to build a thousand cities?

"Indeed, maybe most people have this question." Seeing that I had the right idea in asking, Kane narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were revealed.

"But what if I told you that before the War between Man and Dragon, the Western Kingdom was not a desert?"

"this……"

After receiving such important information, I was stunned again.

"Before the War between Humans and Dragons, the Western Kingdom was not a desert, but a fertile land. At that time, the Western Kingdom was not called the Western Kingdom, but the headquarters of the Holy See. It had the reputation of a pilgrimage country. At that time, the Holy See

Just by firmly controlling this country, he could supply his millions of troops and become extremely rich. It is said that at that time, the white-meter-high statues of God were entirely carved from gold and diamonds.

"

Having said this, Kane let out bursts of sarcastic smiles.

"At that time, the final battlefield of the war between humans and dragons was above the sky of the Pilgrimage Kingdom. Perhaps it should be said that the Dragon Clan attacked him in his lair."
