Chapter 509 Demon Tribe
“Sir MacDonald, as a human, you must have heard of the legend that is widely spread among human countries.”
Aldrie Qi's voice became deeper, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly solemn. This was something MacDonald had never seen before in the decades they had known him.
McDonald looked at Alvi. Aldrich's junior also had a solemn expression like his senior.
“There are many myths that are widely circulated in human countries.”
McDonald said, awaiting further clarification from them.
This time it was Alvi's turn to speak: "The war between humans and demons!"
"The myth of the ancient war between humans and demons?"
McDon Na asked in surprise.
“Yes, that’s the myth.”
Alvi nodded in confirmation.
"Does this myth have any special significance to your Bachelor's Tower?"
"It is of great significance not only to our Bachelor's Tower, but also to the Gabela Empire and the entire human race. Meaning. To put it bluntly, this myth...is related to the life and death of our species, that is, the survival of mankind."
"This...this...what do you mean?"
Aldrich said with emphasis: "The demons are the life-and-death enemies of our humanity. They or their threats still exist!"
"Demons?"
McDonald stood up, "Does this evil race that is so ancient that it is almost a myth really exist?"
Wait, McDonald reacted, they It seems like we were discussing mythology from the beginning.
He sat down slowly again, and for a moment he even had a sense of absurdity. What kind of demons, what kind of race's life and death, isn't this something that only appears in brave adventure novels?
Concerning the myth of the war between humans and demons, various versions of the human kingdom are similar:
In ancient times, the terrifying demons invaded this continent through the sealed gate in the far north.
The demons are a very terrifying race. They enslave humans, harm humans, and even use humans as food. They are evil beings that absolutely cannot be reasoned with and live in peace with. Moreover, their fighting power is very powerful and they have many incredible possessions. power.
Faced with such a huge threat, the humans on the continent finally put aside their disputes and united to resist the invasion of the demons. After decades of arduous struggle, the demons were finally expelled from the continent. , fled back to the other side of the sealed door - the terrifying area called the endless abyss by humans.
The so-called Sealed Gate is what it was called later. This "door" was originally the passage through which the demons entered the mainland. After the demons were expelled back to the endless abyss, under the pious prayers of humans, The Lord of Light appeared, and the Heavenly Father showed His great power to the world. The passage between the human continent and the endless abyss was sunk into the sea, while the extreme north was covered by thick ice and snow, which remained unchanged all year round and became life. The absolute realm - even for the demons, so the passage that can no longer be found is called the sealed door.
The war between humans and demons is an enduring topic in the human world.
The brave man defeated the devil and saved the world - many such stories are based on the ancient myths of the battle between humans and demons.
There are also many epic poems that have been handed down to this day from this war that has no records in Ming history.
But reason told him that the two highly respected bachelors in front of him definitely did not invite a senior general of the empire to discuss novels or poetry.
Arvi's next words surprised him even more, "Not only do demons exist, but magic and wizards also exist." Arvi paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "For example, His Royal Highness Antonio's mother."
MacDonald's eyelids twitched, "His Highness's mother...is she really a witch?"
He had always thought that this was made up by others, such as the Dias family. Rumors continue to tarnish His Highness Antonio's reputation.
Magic and wizards do exist, and the object of his allegiance is the son of a witch.
McDonald's hand holding the tea cup stayed in mid-air, and his whole body froze.
Aldrich and Alvi did not continue to speak. They knew that this information was very abrupt to MacDonald, so they waited for the old marshal to react on his own.
To their surprise, it only took Macdonald a few seconds to digest the information. He exhaled softly and took a sip of tea.
Jalvi asked: "How? Mr. MacDonald, when the myth comes into reality, what do you think in your heart?"
MacDonald said in a normal tone: "There are still many things I don't know. What I want to know most right now is - is there any connection between the demons, humans, His Highness Antonio, and His Highness's witch mother? Oh, don't worry, although I I am very surprised, but my loyalty to His Highness has not diminished at all.”
Aldrich and Alvi secretly admired in their hearts, they are indeed worthy of being an imperial veteran who has spent half his life fighting on the battlefield. Too powerful. Originally, they wanted to see the old marshal's embarrassment, but now they failed.
Aldrich looked at Macdonald and said: "Sir Macdonald, we scholars in the Bachelor's Tower generally believe that myths are the collective memory of a nation. Myths are unlikely to be created out of thin air. In the process of long-term circulation, it may have been polished, or exaggerated, or it may have been completely different from the original version, but as long as you follow the clues and trace the origin, there must be a historical event that actually happened, and it is a myth. Origin.”
Jalvi explained: “Just like a majestic river, where it flows through, there will be many tributaries flowing into it, but no matter how big the river is, there will always be a source, even if the source may be just A small lake."
McDonald nodded slightly to express his understanding of what the two bachelors said.
......
With reluctance on his face, Harper led his team southward.
The injury on his face has not healed yet, it is still swollen, and almost the entire face is covered with ointment.
With his face in this state stuffed into an iron helmet, it was quite unpleasant in the tropical climate of Cape Bay.
After the last defeat, his superior Semen Fedotov replenished his troops, and then immediately ordered him to continue as the vanguard to clear the way for the army.
"The honor you lost with your own hands, it is up to you to find it again with your own hands."
Fedotov warned Harper so, Harper is very glad that he was born in this place. Family, otherwise Fedotov would have taken off his head.
This time, the forward troops and the main force commanded by Fedotov were not too far apart. Once the forward encountered any situation, the main force behind could immediately rush to support.
But even so, Harper was still trembling in his heart.
There is no other reason. The psychological shadow left by the last battle was too great.
