In the history recorded by the sakran Empire, the Dragon kingdom was destroyed by the sudden arrival of evil gods in its heyday - at that time, the will of the Dragon King was the will of the whole kingdom, and this powerful northern kingdom came to the whole world with almost invincible power.

At that time, four evil gods came; The extremely powerful dragon kingdom could not resist the joint attack of the four evil gods, and disappeared with it.

"The dead"; "Tyrant"; "Unbelievers"; "The last shadow" - the title of the four evil gods, is still deeply feared by the saxophone empire.

According to Asriel, the reason for the arrival of the four evil gods is the continuous growth of the power of the Holy Cross, which makes them have to "escape" from the void and maintain their "existence" with the deepest fear and destroying the world's belief in the Holy Cross.

Let alone whether there are loopholes in Asriel's words, at least this is a complete theory - the threat of the Holy Cross, the advent of evil gods, the demise of the Dragon Kingdom, the establishment of the Empire, all reasonable.

It seems so.

"A powerful kingdom is like a palace. There are always thousands of reasons for its collapse, and irresistible external forces are naturally one of them."

The grave keeper whispered that there seemed to be some peace in the appearance of the skeleton, which denied Loren's answer in a very obscure way:

"For Nidhogg, the Dragon Kingdom, her destruction was doomed from the beginning - the arrival of evil gods only accelerated the process, or even slowed down to a certain extent, otherwise the establishment of the sakran Empire would not be so smooth."

what?

The black haired wizard's eyes flashed a trace of amazement and understood each other's meaning in a second: "you mean... The establishment of the sakran empire is... The plan of the Dragon kingdom?!"

"The word plan is not accurate. It is better to describe it as' helpless compromise '." the grave keeper calmly pointed out his mistake:

"But you are right. At that time, the royal family was ready to marry Princess brenhild to the king of the kingdom of saxophone, and support her to have the power to unify the surrounding countries to keep the last blood... From later on, they succeeded."

Loren frowned slightly. It sounded like the Dragon kingdom knew from the beginning that it was about to be destroyed and found a "way back".

"So... If the advent of evil gods is only an inducement, what is the real reason for the destruction of the Dragon kingdom?"

When the voice fell, the black haired wizard was surprised to find that the "skeleton" in front of him actually made a sigh - although it no longer needed a "sigh"!

"Lord Loren Turin, did you observe her structure carefully when you entered niederhogg?" the gray blue flame flickered in the eyes of the tomb keeper:

"If I tell you, that's why the Dragon Kingdom perished?"

Lauren's face showed a trace of clarity and nodded slightly: "the opposition between civilians and the royal family?"

"It's far more serious and terrible than that." the tomb keeper shook his head: "if it's just the royal family and the common people, it can be alleviated by strengthening the monarchy, while the situation of the Dragon kingdom is completely divided."

"In a way you can understand, a group of people with advanced wisdom and power form a new race and completely separate themselves from the original ordinary people."

"More vividly, it should be the opposition between 'God' and 'slave'."

The dark haired wizard's face was frozen, and he could imagine such a picture; What will happen to the Dragon kingdom in this state.

Slaves full of rebellious psychology and slave owners who almost "myth" themselves are incompatible with each other - in addition to violence, violence and violence, Loren can't imagine any means to maintain the integrity of the country, even the surface integrity.

"In retrospect, perhaps it was really because we prematurely contacted the power of emptiness and used it, making it completely a tool of rule, which led to the collapse of the whole kingdom class."

The tomb keeper shook his head: "it prospered because of it, the disputes continued because of it, and finally came to an end... When we looked back, we realized that all this was not the fault of someone or something; it was us, the sons of the Kingdom, who destroyed the Dragon kingdom."

Loren closed his eyes and slowly opened them.

In short, the Dragon Kingdom, which is still in the early stage of civilization, led the development of the whole kingdom to a wrong road because it got the power of emptiness too early, gave birth to a "Wizard kingdom" under the background of slavery society, and finally went to self destruction.

However, such a dragon Kingdom seems to be slightly different from the one in my impression

"Wait... So the real power holders and powerful people in the Dragon kingdom are actually Wizards?" the black haired wizard said calmly, "what are the 'Dragon hunters' and' Dragon riders'?"

"Lord Loren Turin, you can actually imagine... All higher knowledge and research are in the Dragon King tower. It is impossible for the 'civilians' at the bottom to have access to this knowledge."

The tomb keeper gently waved his hand: "so... What strength can they rely on to fight against the 'wizards' living in the upper layer of the King City?"

Lauren frowned slightly and suddenly raised his head: "dragon?!"

"I'm impressed by your reaction speed, sir." the skeleton nodded slightly and seemed to sigh for what had happened:

"In the nearly 100 years before the advent of evil gods, the Dragon kingdom had countless civil wars - in front of the dragon, the Kingdom at that time did not have absolute overwhelming power, and the struggle between the two sides continued for many years."

The voice of the tomb keeper gradually became less calm: "it is always a long process from struggle to compromise, not to mention that the two sides of potential and fire have no such plans."

"In the era I live in, the whole dragon kingdom is on the verge of collapse. It is completely dying. Since there is no invasion of evil gods, the destruction of the Kingdom has long been an established matter."

"At that time, I was still ignorant and became a member of the wizard in the Dragon King tower, and I was lucky to be exposed to the top research at that time, the highest achievement called 'saving the kingdom' at that time."

"Of course, now it's more like a fatal blow to 'ring the death knell for the empire'"

The tomb keeper's ethereal voice became dignified and seemed very reluctant to recall it.

Loren's heart trembled suddenly, vaguely like he had guessed something.

"The process is very complicated, and I really don't want to recall that thing - at that time, the research on the Dragon King tower has reached the bottleneck. In order to solve this problem, we started this plan for the possible threat from the void and evil gods."

"As you know, if evil gods in the world can maintain their existence in the material world, they must have a sufficiently stable 'image', and this image will be fed back to the void, whether strong or weak."

"Then, if there is a 'brand-new' existence that can fully include the 'existence' of other evil gods into itself, and achieve the level of 'omniscient and omnipotent' through continuous compatibility with other 'existence'?"

"What if it can be either 'order' or 'chaos' - its existence doesn't even need an image. An unknown king rules the non-existent country; it is above all sentient beings, and its kingdom is suspended on the top of the sky."

"No matter how it changes, obedience and awe are always lurking in the soul of intelligent life... These are born in the depths of the soul from the beginning, and will completely invade its heart at any time - all we have to do is wake it up through such a 'supreme and sacred' image."

"In the deduction after deduction, we finally found the most appropriate way and gradually completed the research - according to our deduction, only through systematic and procedural communication, we can use this way to make the 'civilian class' completely give up resistance and even rule the world."

"The final code name of this study

It's called the Holy Cross. "
