Chapter 61: The Red Festival (16)

"Hey! Sit over there! Why don't you come in and take a dip?! It's useless for you to look at that guy again! The river water in summer is very cool~! ”

Egger is very contrary to the owl's habits, or rather, since it became a demon, it has said goodbye to the life of the trunk and lived a more human-like lifestyle. At this time, it was enthusiastically inviting the person who had just known him for a short time to take a bath together. And Qing is still digging around digging stones.

"Huh!? Good, good ------"

The man looked at Qing's unreasonable behavior in a daze, and Egg's ability to float naturally on the surface of the water was also covered by Qing's violent actions. Although he responded to Egger's invitation with a pimple, his eyes were fixed on Qing lifting one boulder after another the whole time.

Egger's hospitality was hard to resist, and the man took off his clothes after a busy while, and soaked in the cool river with Egg in a pair of linen pants.

"How! Isn't it particularly refreshing? Doesn't it feel like you're about to fly? ”

Egger swam happily with his wings in the water. I was excited to express to my new friends how much I enjoyed being able to have such a cool time in the hot summer.

"Well--- I don't know what it's like to fly----

The man's whole body was soaked in the water, leaving only his head to poke out of the water to breathe.

"Ah~ That's what I said. Humans don't know how to fly, and I don't know how to walk. The innate abilities of creatures are different, which also causes the difference in races, and things gather like each other~"

Egger is constantly moving through the water, and although it is a bird, it is also a demon who can learn the abilities of other species very well.

"Only when things gather like can there be groups, and only then can creatures thrive." I didn't expect to see these magical things at such a time---"

The man watched Qing in the distance easily lift a ten-meter-sized boulder above his head and do a squat.

"Can human ---- really do things of this magnitude? ----”

"Yes! It can be done! Degrees like his were common in the First Age! Of course it's not human! ”

Iger stopped swimming in the water, half out of the water like a human, stretched out his wings and stroked in front of the man, telling the story in a mysterious voice. The man was also intrigued by Egger's words, he had never heard of such a statement as the First and Second Ages.

"It's not a human, what kind of animal is that? And what is the so-called First Age? ”

Egg groaned for a moment, as if he was struggling with whether to say it or not

"Well~ that --- if I tell you, then you must not say it!"

"Why? ---”

"I just can't say it anyway! Absolute! ”

"Okay, okay."

Seeing the man agree, Egger still looked at his eyes uncomfortably for a while, and when he found that his eyes were still clear and showed no signs of lying, Egger breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe you don't know what the consequences will be, but you should have heard the legend of Atlantis, right?"

"Yes! I know this! It was a powerful nation that was submerged in the ancient gods because it offended the gods! ”

"That's right! Age of the Gods! It's the first age of the magical calendar! Legend has it that the gods traveled through the first solar age of the world! An era when the gods rule the world and all things are slaves! ”

Iger took out the heavy earth-gray book with a stone cover from the storage prop and flipped through it, a book that he knew at first glance that it was a book with a long history. Thick and simple, the cracks on it are engraved with the passage of time.

"In the First Age, the kingdom of the gods, God is the only Lord of the world! But they're not the only ones. It is recorded that the gods were created by Gaia. At that time, the world was just in the early days of existence, and all living beings were ignorant, they knew nothing about birth, old age, sickness and death, they only knew about strife and destruction. So Gaia created the gods to maintain order in the world, and at the beginning the world was under the rule of the gods, and all living things were conquered by the power of the gods. The gods give the seeds of life and teach them to farm and hunt. The world passed day after day, year after year, in an orderly manner. Countless times and years will change many things, the earth, the ocean, the mountains, the valleys, the world is changing, species are evolving, and life is passed down from generation to generation. But the time of the gods does not change, they will always be the same. The gods nurture beings and watch their toils grow day by day, laughing and happy, and they can hold hands with their people and pray and dance around the statue of Gaia. But the good times don't last long, and the gods with endless life are different from the creatures of the world! They watch what they love grow up, and they must watch them age. This is a rule set by Gaia, which cannot be changed by the gods, nor can all things. The old generation died, and the divine spirit was sad, but the emergence of the new generation gave them hope, but time did not spare people, which only added to the sorrow. With the passage of time, thousands of years, the creatures that originally needed to be taught have become self-sufficient, and the gods have become afraid of contact with all things in the world, making the distance between the gods and the gods more and more distant. The gods have been struck by the parting of life and death again and again, and they do not want to feel grief anymore. After that, the gods left their habitats and lived in the mountains, the deep sea, the forests, the sky, and the underground. Since then, the gods have not appeared in front of living beings, leaving only statues and legends left by the old people. Gradually, after countless more years, the creatures completely forgot what the gods looked like, and they forgot that the gods had laughed with their ancestors, and that they had sat on the same ground and eaten the food they had hunted together. All they remember is the power of the gods. Creatures grow and multiply in constant evolution. As the number of living beings increased, the land on which they could live was limited, and the living beings began to fight for food and for their place to live. Slowly the scale of the battle grew, from two fights to thousands of fights. The world has become a miasma in the midst of war, and finally the isolated creatures are alarmed. The creatures stared at the world in a daze, watching their original toil trampled and destroyed, and the gods were angry! The gods set volcanoes on fire, caused tsunamis, provoked earthquakes, rained thunder and lightning, and hurricanes, and nearly destroyed the world by the wrath of the gods. When the gods met at the center of the world, their mother's side, Gaia did not blame them, but taught them not to give up. After Mother's teaching, the gods once again came to this familiar and strange world, but they could no longer integrate into this world, and their strong power was feared by all living beings. The wrath of the gods caused the world to be baptized greatly, and like a ritual, the old, weak, sick and crippled creatures disappeared from the world. Only healthy and strong creatures remained, humans, orcs, tree elves, dwarves, dragons, giant beasts------ the first age, which dissipated in destruction, and the era of the gods came to an end, and all things began to develop in their own form under the supervision of the gods, ushering in the second age!! ”

"Ahhh And then what! And then what! What about the Second Age? And what about Ragnarok? ”

Qing didn't know when he had come to the water, and soaked with Egger and listened to Egg's story. Now Qing just heard the momentum, and kept grabbing Egg's wings and shaking Egger to ask about the later story.

"It's not! ----That's not what I'm going to say - the point hasn't been said yet---- don't shake ----"

[Poof! ~】

The sound of falling water --- like a stone falling into water
