Volume 13: The Son of Darkness, the Lord of the Netherworld, the Happy One Chapter 86 Linodi
Noel followed the general towards the dragon's lair.
The place where the dragon's lair is located is called Linnodi, which is the name of the cursed land in Elvish.
The history of this area is no longer traceable at this time.
All I know is that there have been too many wars in this area, blood dyed everything red, and disasters followed closely, as if the air was still filled with the wails of the past.
If it weren't for the famine that forced people to look for new fertile land, it is very likely that no one would have come to this land for thousands of years.
And now, disaster has once again befallen Linnodi.
In modern times, this is a country of pure dragon blood.
They reject the existence of all other races, close their borders, and to this day the main method of practice in the country is still to cultivate bloodline power.
Before this, they had never joined United International, and it was said that they had not joined the Legendary Realm afterwards.
He is also extremely repulsive to the power of the general soul.
In short, it is a rare, "completely neutral" country.
Previously, the United International and the Legendary Realm were in conflict with each other, and as for this completely neutral small country, they mainly tried to win it over and did not interfere too much.
However, now, this situation has been completely broken. People began to flock into this small country frantically, and then wantonly destroyed the order here, looking for the power of dragon.
Then, all these people began to target Linnodi's stubborn priest.
Being a naughty boy is a state of mind, that is, the mentality of treating playing as one's main occupation.
They have no other jobs, and their "main business" is difficult or unwilling to bring in economic benefits.
Some people would even go bankrupt to continue playing.
Luxury goods, collectibles, antiques, and all kinds of strange things are what they pursue.
It is difficult to trace when this culture originated. All we know is that this group of naughty kids are still relatively respected in this country.
The entire country is in a relatively primitive state. The person who dominates the operation of the country is not even the national leader, nor is there a corresponding institution, but a very convincing person, that is, the stubborn priest.
Every once in a while, the gang will have a competition to see who plays better.
The winner for ten consecutive years can become the Lord Priest, a convincing individual in the country, and preside over the country's major and minor affairs.
This situation is simply unheard of for other people.
The stubborn priest is replaced every ten years, and the former priest will become the elder.
They are responsible for following up on domestic people's livelihood, developing agriculture and various luxury-related industries.
As outside forces came in, most people surrendered directly, and they also "surrendered", not caring at all about these people wreaking havoc on this land, and continued to "play".
"Are these people fools?" A guy in a black windbreaker next to the general frowned as he watched those dragonbloods wearing luxury goods, dancing in the streets and walking on the catwalk.
"No, this is the unique culture they formed after being invaded countless times, and that is not to resist in the face of invasion." At this time, Noel spoke.
Noel himself has good knowledge. While studying weapons design, he also studied the war history of various countries.
Because weapons are ultimately used in war.
For a weapon to be effective, it must be used on a suitable battlefield, and simply having great power is not enough.
Linnodi is a country where wars often occur.
This country is extremely xenophobic and people live a simple and primitive life.
Foreign invaders often come into the country, killing and exploiting the people of the country.
After the local residents resisted several times and were powerless, they gradually formed a culture of not resisting and just playing.
The original intention is to entertain yourself with all your strength without worrying about the war and death that will come tomorrow or immediately.
This culture already existed in an earlier period, but it grew rapidly with the emergence of invasion wars.
It is said that in the earliest period, Linnodi was the residence of elves, so it had the elvish name Linnodi.
Afterwards, a large number of dragon-blooded slaves appeared here.
These slaves did not rebel against their slave owners and seek independence like the dragon-blooded people in the outside world. Instead, they chose to give up.
I don't fight back when I'm beaten, and I don't respond when I'm scolded. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want me to work, I'll slack off every day.
After a period of surrender and some other events, the elves finally gave up this land.
Thus, this group of rotten dragon-blood slaves became the masters of this country.
They later developed and became the prototype of Linodi.
This land is relatively fertile, but it seems to be cursed. After the invaders occupy this place, they always retreat for various reasons after a period of time.
For example, the crops produced here have no problems when eaten by local people, but outsiders will develop various diseases when they eat them.
Or it could be various plagues, poisonous insects, or some weird things.
This land is deeply hostile to outsiders.
Therefore, the invaders occupied this land for three years at most and only three days at the shortest.
However, the locals rarely resisted, and the gangster culture became increasingly stronger at this time.
Someone invaded today, but they still didn't care. They were having fun and didn't pay any attention to the invaders.
No matter what you want to do, they will cooperate. Even if you want to take their lives, they will just smile and continue playing.
"This is their foolish happiness," said the general with a grin.
"It seems that the curse of this land was brought here by the Dragon's Lair. Today, the curse will surely disappear. Without the curse to drag them down, they will have nothing left."
For this unique culture to be formed, there must be a corresponding geographical environment.
If there were no special rejection of outsiders in the Cursed Land, then this attitude of surrender and desperation would only make it easier for invaders to exploit.
Noel looked at these dragonbloods, with a trace of contemptuous pity in his eyes.
In his opinion, these people are similar to those who follow the so-called true self-path.
Immersed in one's own little happiness, one does not offer any resistance to the invasion and cooperates fully.
The final result is that the foundation of survival is destroyed.
What is their foundation? It is this society, this environment, and this world.
After extension, it becomes history and timeline.
It is the existence of the God of History that guarantees all of this, and that is why everything continues to exist.
The fact that Gourd Taoist is an invader will not change.
Now these people, for the so-called true self path, are helping Calabash Taoist to defeat the God of History, and the foundation of their survival has been destroyed.
"Then, there will be people like Linodi who are like dragonbloods, immersed in this so-called happiness, and all will perish."
He saw a Linnodi man whose wife and family were killed by invaders, but he still sang loudly and danced hard. He looked very happy, but he could not hide the tears in the corners of his eyes.
Isn't he sad?
Sad, but there was nothing he could do.
Weak happiness can only be taken away by others at will.
That Self-path which has happiness as its foundation is just fooling everyone in the world.
This is what Noel thinks.
Only order can guarantee happiness, and the god of history constructs all order.
He alone is the future of their world.
Those in power were too weak and short-sighted, and they only saw the little freedom provided by the way of true self.
He ignored the foundation of everything, which led to such a huge chaos and disaster, causing his family to die in the conflict.
"Forget it, don't waste time in these places, hurry up and find the entrance to the Dragon's Lair." Noel shouted.
Although he despised those who gave up resistance, he was unwilling to see killing happening in front of him.
The general also looked at Noel with a smile and nodded in agreement.
Following the general's orders, his men gave up on oppressing the local residents and quickly searched for the stubborn priest or the elders.
These people must have control over something in order to maintain the local situation for a long time.
Otherwise, after entering the modern era, their tradition would have been overturned long ago. After all, not everyone can endure this kind of life and the pursuit of "happiness" in a decadent way.
But it is not like this now, even the soul system has not been incorporated, and the bloodline cultivation is still going on.
Noel always believes that environment determines the foundation of everything.
If this kind of culture can be born in this place, then there must be an environment that restricts the emergence of other cultures.
Now it seems that bloodline cultivation has some advantages in this country, so it continues.
And this advantage is most likely related to the dragon's lair.
In addition to the general, there are many people who are also looking for the existence of the Stubborn Priest. The dragon's lair is most likely underground.
But in the current situation, digging is too time-consuming.
It would be better to find a local person who knows some information, enter directly, and then seize the dragon's power.
Because of the foreshadowing by the God of History, the people in the Legend Realm more or less know something about the specific method of liberating the Dragon's Lair.
And they all have the confidence that if they find the dragon's lair, they can break the restrictions and completely seize the dragon's power.
Among these people, Noel naturally has his own purpose.
He also wants to obtain the power of dragon.
But compared to the general and others, his power is still too weak.
He has only completed one legendary deed so far and has now gained the corresponding ability.
[System Blast: Able to observe the weakness of a system, generate a corresponding bomb targeting this weakness, and detonate it according to one's own thoughts.]
A pretty good supernatural ability, but that’s all it is.
If used well, it can paralyze an entire system.
However, both the observation of weaknesses and the installation of bombs take time and can be easily interfered with.
The real-time combat capability is not that strong.
