Law of the Devil

The Evil Faced Spider Queen is still struggling to crawl. Unlike the previous mount of the Devil Wolf, this giant spider is more like a bulldozer in a snowy forest. For all the big trees blocking the way in front, it waves its thick and With a scythe-like sharp arm, a big tree can be cut off with a single click, or a direct collision can immediately create a road.

This kind of evil-faced spider is used to living in the lower ice layer, and can drill around even in the hard ice, let alone these trees?

The old magician was obsessed with the past, with a gloomy expression, standing on the back of the spider, and did not speak for a long time.

Finally, this time it was not Du Wei who asked the question.

"What happened later? What happened later?"

The person who asked the question was actually Queen Medusa who kept quiet and listened to the story silently.

The indifferent woman asked calmly with a hint of curiosity on her face, "Excuse me, what happened afterwards?"

Du Wei was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Medusa. Medusa was very calm: "I'm just curious. Isn't curiosity unique to human beings? Is this also a kind of human nature?"

"You also want to continue listening to the stories?" The old magician smiled strangely: "Smart Queen Medusa, with your wisdom, you should understand that listening to these stories may not be good for you."

"I was raised by nature." Medusa said coldly: "It doesn't matter what gods or temples you are talking about, it doesn't mean anything to me."

"That's good." The old magician laughed, and then his tone sank: "Anyway, these are also mentioned in the prophecy, and you should have a part in this matter."

Shaking his head, the old magician tidied up his hat that was blown crookedly by the wind, then pointed to the distance, and said with a smile: "Here, just ahead. In about a day, we will be able to walk out of this forest! From ancient times So far, there are very few people in the entire continent who can pass through the frozen forest and come to the northern end of the forest!"

"According to what I know, according to current records, the farthest distance traveled in the frozen forest was a magician named Az from the imperial capital twenty years ago, leading a group of knights to the place we passed by before. That canyon." Du Wei said lightly.

"Well, that's right. It's really Az, that cunning boy." The old magician sneered, "But two hundred years ago, I had passed through the frozen forest and came to the north of the forest! Come with me Land, it's Semel, we entered the forest together, crossed the Great Round Lake, walked through the forest, came all the way here, continued north, and finally arrived at the destination... That was the last time I saw Semel, that is her Promise to help me one last time!"

"What is there in the north of the Frozen Forest?" Du Wei smiled: "Could it be the prison?"

The old magician didn't smile, he took a deep look at Du Wei, then turned around and sat down, groped in his arms for a while, and took out a piece of parchment.

He didn't open the parchment in a hurry, but first cast a small windproof spell, and then slowly unfolded the parchment on his knees.

This is a parchment scroll that is so broken that it will almost shatter at any time. After being soaked in some unknown antiseptic potion, the original color can no longer be seen clearly. On the edge of the parchment scroll, there are some teeth that seem to have been eaten by mice. There is a twisted line on it, with a few lines of strange handwriting written on it.

The handwriting is red, bright red. I don't know what kind of paint it is, but after so many years, it has not faded, which makes Du Wei a little strange.

As if seeing Du Wei's doubts, the old magician smiled lightly: "This is written in blood... Aragorn's own blood, with a magic imprint, even if it takes another thousand years, it won't be too late." It will fade. I spent a lot of effort to find the clues in a secret room of the imperial palace, plus the clues I found from the top-secret documents sealed in the temple, and finally fell to the ground in a royal family that has been in decline for many years. A suicide note left by Aragorn himself found in the tomb of the little nobleman before his death..."

"A little nobleman who hasn't landed?" Hussein asked the question. This knight from a poor family was brought up by the temple, and he didn't know much about the imperial family. In the grave?"

The old magician glanced at Du Wei.

Du Wei sighed, he was educated by the nobles, and he was neglected since he was a child. He spent most of his time living alone and reading books, and his erudite research was better than any famous scholar in the empire.

He thought for a moment, and explained to the knight:

The Roland Empire was founded nearly a thousand years ago. After the founding emperor Aragorn passed away a thousand years ago, the throne passed to Aragorn's second son, and then His Majesty the Second Emperor died of illness after 14 years on the throne, and then passed it on to his eldest son... After nearly a thousand years of imperial family inheritance, in fact, when the empire was about four hundred years old, those who ascended the throne could no longer be regarded as the direct descendants of His Majesty Aragorn.

About 400 years after the founding of the empire, the direct descendants of Aragon, a short-lived emperor, died without leaving a single son, and the Aragon line of the royal Roland family could not find a suitable throne. Here comes the heir!

Strictly speaking, the emperor who finally succeeded to the throne is no longer the direct descendant of Aragorn.

The offspring of my brothers.

Historically speaking, at that time, historians believed that the true descendants of Aragon's descendants had been cut off from that time. There was a saying about this event in the history books, which was called the end of the "thorn flower dynasty" ( The Thorn Flower Dynasty is considered to be the dynasty dominated by the orthodox descendants of Aragon), also known as "the era of withered blood".

Afterwards, the descendants of Aragorn's own brothers have been holding the throne. It is called the "Glorious Dynasty" in history, but after the dynasty existed for about two hundred years, it began to decline, and then the empire fell into a serious crisis (mentioned earlier, It was also the era when the Luo Lin family rose in the place where Du Wei was located), the alien rebellion in the northwest, and the separatism of the mainland army. Although the empire did not really disintegrate. But that crisis almost caused the empire to perish.

Fortunately, at that time, after some turmoil in the royal family, an outstanding emperor emerged. That emperor was not a descendant of the Aragon brothers. He claimed to be a descendant of Aragon, but in fact, the direct descendants of Aragon had been cut off. , but in the "age of withered blood", although the royal family of Aragon did not have a single male, they still had a few daughters. And this emperor was born in the "age of withered blood". Time. A descendant of a daughter of Aragon's lineage.

When he succeeded to the throne, there was also a fierce struggle. On the one hand, the empire was in crisis, and the empire was almost destroyed. The other royal children were unwilling to sit on the terrible throne, thinking that it was a crater.

In the end, the emperor who succeeded to the throne was actually pushed to the throne, because according to the genealogy calculation, he cannot be regarded as the real descendant of Aragon at all. It is just that his great-great-great-grandmother is the descendant of Aragon. Before becoming emperor, he was just a duke of the royal family (not even a prince).

But this emperor is a rare and outstanding person. He single-handedly promoted the Luo Lin family, revived the empire, and at the same time made the Luo Lin family start to glory!

This period of history is relatively complicated, but the royal lineage of any empire in history is always large and scattered. Du Wei made a comparison, which seems to be similar to the experience of the Han Dynasty in Chinese history in the world he lived in in his previous life. : Although the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty are both considered to be the Han Dynasty. But in fact, after the fall of the Western Han Dynasty established by Han Gaozu Liu Bang, the Zhongxing Empire established the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu. It's far, far away, and it's considered a collateral land.

This period of history of the Roland Empire is very similar to the alternation of the Western Han and Eastern Han in the history of China in Du Wei's previous life.

It's just that the emperor of the Roland ZTE Empire seems to have an "Aragorn plot" and seems to be a guy who fanatically worships Aragon. He always regards himself as a descendant of Aragon, and even calls his dynasty "thorns". "Flower Dynasty", although historians do not agree with him so much. And after his death, no one called the dynasty he established, and now this dynasty is called "Augustinian Dynasty". Before the throne, his title was "Archduke Augustine".

It's ridiculous that the Zhongxing emperor regarded himself as the direct descendant of Aragon all his life, but his descendants didn't seem to think so. In the official historical materials later, they were all recorded under the name of "Augustine". For example, the current emperor of the empire, The public name is: Augustine VI.

These can also explain why a handwritten letter left by Aragon himself was found in the tomb of a fallen royal noble family. Because the real descendants of Aragon had already disappeared hundreds of years ago.

The subsequent royal family can only be regarded as the descendants of Aragorn's relatives, not his own blood.

"To put it simply, from the first year of the empire's founding to the 400th year of the empire, it was the Aragorn lineage that took control of the imperial power, and it was called the 'Thorn Flower Dynasty'. Then, from the 400th to 600th year of the empire, it was The Aragonese brothers hold the imperial power and are called the 'Glorious Dynasty'. Then, from the six hundred years of the empire to the present, it is the 'Augustinian Dynasty', and this dynasty has a farther blood relationship with Aragon. I understand. Is it?"

Du Wei smiled bitterly.

After explaining to the knight, Du Wei immediately turned his head and glanced at the old magician: "Okay, tell us quickly, in the suicide note of Aragorn himself that you found in the tomb of the little nobleman, that is, the sheepskin in your hand Volume, what exactly is written?"

"To be precise, this is a prophecy!" The old magician laughed to some people, as if he lowered his voice on purpose: "You know, Aragorn was almost invincible in the mainland back then, and everyone knows that he is very strong, but his strength No one knows exactly what realm he has reached. There are even legends that his strength has almost reached the level of a god! Although many people think this kind of speculation is absurd...but I don't think so! I think This is very possible! His strength has indeed reached the level of a god! So...he probably has mastered a legendary ability that only gods have extraordinary abilities: the great prophecy!"
