Chapter 203: Ahem, Lip Talk, Background Setting
[A long, long time ago, in that unknown ancient era, the wizarding world was dominated by many powerful creatures, and humans were just insignificant and weak creatures that survived in the cracks.
These powerful creatures don't get along very well, either out of ambition, or out of habit, or out of vendettas, or out of stupidity...... It wasn't until an ancient beast known as the "Demon of the Mist" was sealed away in what is now "London" that the relative equilibrium was broken, and the conflict between these powerful creatures intensified, breaking out into a war that affected the entire wizarding world.
Is there a winner in this war?
Yes A number of powerful creatures suffered heavy casualties, and the living space they occupied was vacated, and it was at this time that the weak humans began to rise and eventually became the masters of the wizarding world.
It wasn't the answer the king of the powerful creatures on all sides of the war wanted, but they didn't change the outcome. Maybe disheartened? Could it be that it was a human plot? Maybe it's a decisive battle to the point of exhaustion and falling? All we know is that these kings eventually slept together.
This place once had many names, and now it is called "Yanan", and it is the place where kings sleep. And we, the "Fire Prevention Women", have been guarding this area for generations, using the souls of the dead as firewood, lighting the incense of death, and letting the kings continue to sleep peacefully.
Once the flame is extinguished, the incense will dissipate, and the ancient kings in the coffin will awaken one by one. Eldritch the Sage, Farran Immortal, the Watcher of the Abyss, Yum the Giant of the Lone King, The Dazed Trifag, Nit of the Dead House, The Witch of Izaris and the Daughter of Chaos, The Invincible Eggache, Gwen the King of the Sun, and the White Dragons...... Kings who are not recorded in the main text of human history will lead their descendants to overthrow the wizarding world ruled by humans.
Even if this is a heinous work, for the sake of the future of humanity, we cannot let the flame go out.
But there will come a time when the fire will be extinguished.
The discovery of the ancient werewolf's body, the rise of the Healing Church, the popularization of blood therapy, the outbreak of bestiality, and the blockade of the Ministry of Magic finally caused Yanan to lose his vitality, and the raw materials for firewood became less and less...... It looks like the flame will be extinguished in your generation.
But don't be afraid, my dear granddaughter.
This is how the world works, and humans have dominated the wizarding world long enough......
Not? Unwilling to accept this fate?
Hahaha...... After all, it's still a child......
Well, go and believe in the heroes of a foreign land, and maybe one day, someone will come and solve everything...... It's like a fairy tale......]
》》》》》》》》》》》
"............" The fireproof woman stood quietly in front of the flames, recalling her grandmother's words before she died.
Not everyone agrees with this statement, and no one knows whether the flame will be extinguished as it has been in the secret of word of mouth; Not everyone will accept this cruel fate, and sacrificing one's own happiness for the sake of all mankind requires considerable awareness. Therefore, the fireproof girl did not resent her biological mother who abandoned her in Yanan and asked her to fulfill her obligations in her place.
The fire prevention girl sometimes wonders, is her belief wrong? Maybe she is like a believer in the healing church, firmly walking on the wrong path, and she really didn't have the confidence to deny this possibility when she was raised under the care of her grandmother since she was a child.
But just take it as filial piety, right? She couldn't find any other way to live anyway.
To this day, the Firefighter is still faithfully fulfilling her mission, collecting the souls of the dead, making firewood, and lighting incense in this graveyard tainted with filthy blood, but the fire is about to be extinguished, as her grandmother said.
Despair? This is inevitable, but this is what it looks like when the fire prevention woman takes over this responsibility, and she has long been mentally prepared.
But as if confirming the ridicule of his grandmother before she died, a suspected "hero from a foreign land" appeared, killing monsters outside and rescuing the residents of Yanan who still had some sanity.
She...... Can you still believe in fairy tales......
“?” Although blind, the gem-encrusted metal eyepatch worn by the Firefighter Girl is a magical prop that gives her a unique way of perceiving the approach of the person she has been waiting for.
A few minutes later, Liz and the others came to Adam's chapel, "What the hell, it's all over the ground...... Wait, these are ashes, right? ”
"Bones, ashes?!" Malfoy, who was still disgusted with the dirtiness here, was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly retreated outside the church door.
"Werewolves, you've been smoking, and you're still afraid of the ashes, aren't you stupid? This thing has been sterilized at high temperatures, and it is very clean and hygienic. Liz scoffed and stepped into the chapel, which was covered in debris from years of burning incense.
......" Malfoy felt that the values of the unscrupulous professor were more distorted than those of the Death Eaters, but he had to follow up helplessly when he thought about the scarier of 'stepping into a church full of ashes' or 'leaving alone outside the church'.
"Let me see, an old hunter in a wheelchair, an old woman selling groceries, a dejected man in armor, an old blacksmith, a blind black-robed beauty," Liz said with a wave of his magic sword, "Are there any madmen who don't want to leave Yanan and want to become monsters, I can give you a ride now." ”
"Hehe, young man, don't be so grumpy, Yanan's blood is not as simple as you think." No one else answered, except for the old hunter in the wheelchair chuckling and standing up, pulling out two weapon components from the back of the wheelchair and twisting them together to form a huge scythe.
"It's not as complicated as you think." Liz dodged in front of the old hunter and slashed out with a sword.
(Bell!) The old hunter, who had parried in a hurry, was cut down and slid backwards for several meters.
"Huh? Limped, the next plate is still very stable~" Liz didn't attack again, he just demonstrated to the people in the chapel - the effect is very significant, the big fist has the right to speak, and the expressions of the people who seemed a little disapproving just now have been extremely cautious.
"I see, isn't the stranger who came in this time a wizard with low eyes?" The old hunter jumped back, pulling away, "...... You have the strength to defeat those higher beings, and you can expect that. ”
"Huh?" Leeds felt that this old man was talking very normally, more normal than the 'Raven Hunter Irene' that he had forcibly rescued before.
"Hunters from a foreign land, you must have seen the puppets of the small church in the suburbs, right? If you have time to hunt on the way, you can consider visiting the Star Clock Tower. Leaving a baffling word, the old hunter turned around and rushed out of the other exit of the church at a good speed.
"Doll girl?!" Hearing the unexpected name in an unexpected place, from an unexpected person, made Leeds a little stunned.
"The old man's name is German, he used to be the first hunter of the healing church, the flame is about to be extinguished, let me help you~hum~" The voice quickly faded away.
“…… Flames? "If you want to chase it, you will definitely be able to catch it, but since the other party insists on doing so, Liz won't say anything, it's a big deal to wait for the other party to go crazy before sending him on the road...... Compared to this, the 'flame' mentioned in the second sentence of German is the key.
Liz turned to look at the black-robed woman, "Hey, beauty, don't tell me the old woman over there is the 'fire girl'." ”
"Welcome to the Chapel of Yadan, hunters from a foreign land." The firefighter saluted Leeds, "I'm the firefighter, the one who upholds the campfire and serves you. ”
“…… Beauty, we don't know each other, do we? "Leeds wonders if she has added some strange hidden attributes after being online with Feyton, why are there so many beautiful women who are upside down as maids lately?
"If you want to solve Yanan's predicament, please call me at will...... Even if I were asked to give my life, I would not refuse. The firefighter saluted Leeds again.
“…… Malfoy, look, being a good man is a blessing, and are you going to continue to be a Death Eater? ”
"No, I'm going to be a savior too!"
