Chapter 938: The Lost Legend (I)

The Golden King, Gil Salad, ordinary people would think that this is an ethereal myth and legend. Tens of thousands of years of civilization changes, including the war of gods and demons, the second creation, the departure of the gods, the hegemony of Auckland, the Qiming War, the rise of Nord, the founding of the federation and other major historical events. The ancient elven empire that ruled the forest back then has fallen apart and has completely become a real-world minority; The Titans, who had built sprawling cities in the mountains and rock faces, were hard to find, leaving behind only sub-races that were almost indistinguishable from rare animals; The gods have left the main plane after the second creation, and can only occasionally be transmitted to the mortal world with spirits.

The era of the golden bloodline ruling the world is long over, and it is now the era of the people of black iron. In that mythical era, the people who ruled the mortal world by the grace of the gods were already buried in archaeology, and it was impossible to tell whether they existed or not.

However, he is not just a legend, but a reality. At that time, the gods sat on the top of the world and could easily walk in the world, maintaining the balance and prosperity of the worlds. The Titans, allies of the gods, have built ornate and modern urban clusters in the mountains, looking for an expedition to the sea of stars; Dragons soar through the sky, frolic in the clouds, and are commissioned by the gods to watch over the changes of the mortal world; The golden-blooded mortal elves and mermaids, though sparsely populated, each subjugated their vast silver race, the Wood Elves, the Wild Elves, the Naga, and the Argons, who ruled the forests and seas and built vast empires.

As the civilization of the dwarves, orcs, and winged people of the Bronze has just emerged, and they are still minorities and "barbarians" who survive in the cracks of civilization, but the Sammanshire, Semir, Wert, and Nord, who also belong to the Bronze People, have finally established a civilized kingdom that is no less than the rule of the golden bloodline in the late era of the gods. And it really pushed the age of the gods to the most prosperous and civilized era. Though they had so many kings who were not subordinate to each other. With nuanced appearances, kingdoms are also distributed all over the world; However, in the eyes of the gods and the people of gold, they are the same race.

This race of gods named "humans" is the ancestor of the Black Iron civilization. Of course, in order to make a distinction with the "humans" of later generations. Academics usually refer to this kind of ancient humans as "ancestors" or "old people". The former is respectful, the latter is more or less discriminatory and contemptuous, and it depends purely on what kind of historical outlook contemporary rulers need...... Anyway, there's nothing new under the sun.

However, although there were many kingdoms of the ancestors, there was a real co-lord in the most prosperous era of the Age of the Gods, and that was the Gil Salad, who was later called the "Golden King".

In later legends, his mother was Hildegarh, the queen of the kingdom of Urke in the middle of the Aden Peninsula, who ruled Cape Storm, and his father. It is the king of the gods, Hetesis, the king of the sun. Well, this kind of epic legend about the gods leaving their blood descendants in the mortal world, and they with the body of demigods eventually became heroes of the world, in that long mythological era, was actually quite a lot. It's just that even the dignified god king is involved in this kind of peachy news, and the news is really the big news of the whole era.

In a word. Maybe it's because his paternal bloodline is too strong, this young Prince of Urke. He is also bound to become the most powerful demigod "mortal" in history.

He is a demigod who has a lifespan that even surpasses that of the People of Gold. And when her mother, Hildegar, died, he was only a teenager when he ascended the throne.

We all know that people who don't have the education of their parents can easily become bear children; If the bear child is king, he will become a tyrant who does not care about the suffering of the people; And this tyrant is the son of God, and he has power far beyond mortals. He will become the kind of demon king who makes his enemies and the people desperate. For the first 200 years of his reign, Gil Salad easily put down all internal rebellions, as well as countless neighboring countries that wanted to take advantage, and even expanded his own country's territory. So, he inexplicably had a hero-like evaluation. During this period. His appearance is just from a twelve or thirteen-year-old bear child to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old bear child.

The country is so prosperous, but the lives of the common people are becoming more and more sad and desperate. The oppressed people of Gil Salad finally had no patience and began to appeal to the heavens, begging the great god of light, the lord of all things, the sun god Hetesis to take care of their bear children, and it would be better if they could take him in.

Even the king of the gods felt that he had lost face, and the gods should not have directly intervened in the rule of others, but he was still ready to solve this romantic debt created by himself back then. However, at this time, an old god advised Hetesis that brutal violence would not make a bear child truly realize his mistakes, but could destroy a great hero who was destined to make immortal feats in the future.

After thinking about it for a long time, the king of the gods let his favorite daughter, the goddess of love and hope, Finn, next term, hope that she can really influence this unobtrusive son of the god king.

The goddess of love and hope is known as the most beautiful goddess in the heavenly realm - and there is a story about this at some time in the age of the gods. A group of idle mortal kings are ready to do a campaign to elect the most beautiful goddess. Since the gods of that era often walked in the world as true gods, leaving many portraits, and many people have seen their deities, this election should be very convincing.

In the end, the final entrant to the list is Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, Diana, the goddess of the moon and the hunt, Belat Mea, the god of nightmares, and the rest is Fein, the god of love and hope.

Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, paid no attention to the stubble, Diana thought she was watching the excitement, and Fein seemed to be a little confused. So, it was Aphrodite and Belat Mea who entered the final competition. All the kings who participated in the selection were co-opted by these two goddesses in various ways and became their votes. These voters all became die-hard fans of a certain goddess, but none of them could convince each other, and later even directly regarded each other as heretic enemies, and almost turned into an inexplicable war.

In the end, it was the goddess Lady Fein who prevented this from turning from a farce into a tragedy. Her divine power dissolves the inexplicable obsessions and impulses that envelop both parties. Let these mortal kings finally come to their senses. Ashamed, the kings decided that the honor of the most beautiful goddess should be given to Fine, and the rest of the goddesses, including Aphrodite, who nearly caused a catastrophe, agreed. Of course, Belat Meyer may have had other ideas, but she didn't say anything else in the end.

And so. When the most beautiful goddess of the heavenly realm descended in front of Gil Salad, he, who had just entered puberty, fell in love on the spot, regardless of the fact that the other party was theoretically his sister.

The proud Golden King is so arrogant that he doesn't have the slightest respect for the other party because he is a high god. In fact, including his father, the sun god Hetheath, also lacked due respect in his heart. So, he fanatically launched a courtship offensive against his sister, and he was especially domineering president. He even considered using force to occupy the other side.

However, Fine only made one request, and if she wanted to get her, Gil Salad must temporarily abandon the throne and wander the world with her, and live the life of an ordinary person for fifty years. Otherwise, what he gets is only the exorcism of a goddess, not the heart and soul.

Fifty years is but a drop in the ocean for the Son of God. And although he is the king of Ould, it is impossible for a bear child to cherish what is easily obtained. He left the palace decorated with gold. Follow her sister through the country alleys and live in the wilderness...... This bear child, who has never experienced any hardships since he was a child, began to understand what the truth of the world is.

He finally realized that the land and people he governed, or rather oppressed, were so poor, miserable, and even desperate. He was amazed to find that it was just because he was very good at making himself happy. The officials and important ministers who were promoted to important posts are so hateful among the people. In the end, he realized that he was the real culprit.

He put on a golden mask, acted chivalrous with Fei Yin, and created a rebellion against the country he had established. He assassinated the princes and important ministers whom he had personally promoted. Steal your own coffers and distribute the gold and silver to the common people. After fierce battles, he defeated the ancient monster Fimbal, and became the most remarkable ranger hero in the world.

However, ten years of knighthood has made Gil Salad understand that it is impossible to truly change the status quo of the country and the people through the chivalrous actions of the people. He and Fine left Urke and began a long career as a study tour. He visits sages and libraries around the world, soaking up all sorts of knowledge like the sea. During this time, he was even taught by Pallas, the goddess of wisdom, herself.

Yes, at last he has matured, and Gil Salad, who has found the responsibility of the Son of God, is so dazzling and powerful that even the gods who dwell in the clouds will be overwhelmed by his grace and willing to do everything they can to help him become a talent.

Decades later, when Gil Salad returned to Ould, he was already a young man who was heroic, composed, both civil and military, and very talented. When he ascended the throne again, he was followed by his sister and the goddess of love and hope who had always accompanied him, Fiin.

Yes, during this time, the witness Gil Salad acted chivalrous and grew up little by little, seeing that he really changed from an adolescent bear child to a warrior with a sense of responsibility, mission and compassion, and heroism, and the goddess of love and hope, Finn, really fell in love with her younger brother, and even voluntarily gave up her permanent life and godhead in order to accompany him for the rest of her life, and let herself degenerate into a mortal again.

With the help of Fine, the Kingdom of Urke began its most prosperous reign in history. Not only did Gil Salad push his power and prestige as a king to the top, but the country also began to expand aggressively. In the eyes of the young Golden King, it was not only the inaction of the faint king that brought poverty and misery to the people, but also the strife and wars between the nations.

As a result, this war of expansion and unification lasted for more than 500 years. And when he looked at the world and there was no rival, all the human kings had already bowed down before the Golden King. Even elves and merfolk, even true dragons and titans from above, bowed their proud heads to the greatest conqueror and king of the Age of the Gods.

Many golden bloodlines bowed to this demigod and half-human king, and thus he was given the title of "Golden King".

The kings of mankind swore allegiance to the High King of kings, saying, "All the honors, mysteries, and treasures of the world belong to you, the Most High." ”

This is the long history and legend of the all-encompassing treasure of the Golden King in later generations.

The next thousand years or so were the great era of the greatest prosperity and the last prosperity of the Age of the Gods, when the Golden King and the goddess of love and hope ruled together. Now that I think about it, the heyday is followed by depravity and destruction, and the laws of history really make me feel extremely embarrassed and helpless.

At that time, however, the reign of the great Golden King seemed unshakable. Even when he had evil thoughts such as gloom, impulsiveness, anger, greed, and jealousy, there was Queen Fei Yin behind the scenes, silently comforting and persuading her husband, so that he would never lose his reason, wisdom and fair judgment.

To use a vulgar analogy, the Golden King is an indestructible sword, and the Goddess Fines is the perfect scabbard.

However, as the most beautiful goddess in the heavenly realm, when she gave up her godhead and her power to transcend the mundane, her beautiful and moving assets and flesh and blood belonging to the gods were lost, and she was bound to be coveted by evil demons. In order to protect his beloved wife, Gil Salad killed forty-three powerful ancient beasts and demon gods in a row, and made forty-three gems from their crystals, which were set in a bracer and given to Fein. When Phyin wears it, she won't be hurt in any way.

However, this is not entirely invulnerable.

One year, the Golden King left Urk and came to the Black Earth Hills, where he united the elves and Sammanchar armies to attack the Naivars who were entrenched on the Dragonclaw Peninsula at the time, and this was the only ancestral power in the entire continent that did not submit to the Golden King. With the peninsula as the core, this group of pirate nations plundered all the ports and shipping routes along the coast of Chenhai.

The Golden King led his army into the peninsula and engaged in a long tug-of-war with the Navars. He really wanted to fight quickly, but the other party didn't have the idea of pulling out and having a hard anus with the army, and ******** knew that he was hiding and seeking. As a result, the war of conquest of the peninsula was thus prolonged.

On the other hand, in Urke's country, instead of her husband who left, the goddess Phyllum was naturally the queen. During that time, a huge monster that did not know that it had come out of that dimension arrived in the world, and he could call the wind and rain, and the rain poured down everywhere he passed, and the wind was everywhere. It was also at that time that the Aden Peninsula, the base of the emperor's fertile land and the spring of the year, became today's Cape of Storms.

An army of ordinary people could not defeat the huge monster at all, so the goddess of Fine had to go out with her own hands. However, having lost her godhead, divine position, and divine power, she had lost the powerful power to crusade against evil spirits, and could only maintain an invincible situation with this huge demonic beast from another dimension, named Ainu.

The goddess asks Ainu where he came from and how he is willing to leave and no longer harm the people and the land. The monster said that its only purpose was to return home, but its soul and body had been imprisoned in this strange dimension, and it was necessary to liberate itself, unless it was a treasure with divinity and the flesh and blood of monsters.

In this world, the only thing that combines these two completely different essences is the diamond bracelet worn by the goddess.

Fein lent the bracelet to Anu, helping to open the passage to the space, and it was the only brief moment in her life when she took it off.

However, upon returning to Urke, the goddess Fines suddenly felt a strong discomfort in her body, and soon became ill. Countless famous physicians and sages, even the goddess of wisdom, Pallas, who had descended to earth herself, could not cure her disease, and could not even find out what kind of disease she had.

When the Golden King finally conquered the Dragon's Claw Peninsula and returned to the dynasty in triumph, he saw his wife who looked at him with one last smile and then passed away.

It was the prelude to the end of the reign of the Golden King, and the final prelude to all events, including the final battle of the gods, which ended the mythical age. (To be continued.) )
