City of Sin: Forty-six history
It can be seen from the diary that after this incident, Essien was very concerned about Foreign Plane, read a lot of classic materials, and even read many taboo books with the help of his Priest status. Whenever there is emotion, he will write his experience in this diary. According to the research of Essien, from the important Divine Decree of the God of Courage over the years, the Foreign Plane invasion has occurred more than once in the history of Plane. The number of times is neither too much nor too few.
For predictions of such matters other than Plane, although the Divine Decree of the God of Courage, like the Divine Decree of most Plane gods, is always ambiguous, it is traceable.
According to the analysis of Essien, Divine Decree about intruders generally has two key words. The first is the average strength of the intruders, and the second is the number of intruders. In terms of strength, insignificant refers to the average invaders below Level 10, but the occurrence of such Divine Decree is extremely rare, only once in history. Slightly threatening is below Level 13, quite powerful means below Level 15. Those above Level 16 are referred to as very dangerous. As for the number and scale, it is not very important compared to the level. The largest group of intruders is only more than a hundred people, so only a large number of such words appear only occasionally.
Compared to the entire Plane Gods, the power of these intruders in history is mostly nothing, and any of the Top Level strongmen in Plane is enough to wipe out them. Generally speaking, the elimination of intruders does not need to use such a strong Top Level, most of the incidents are resolved at the level of local affairs.
But there was also an extremely intrusive intruder who entered Plane. The invaders were three Star Beasts from a certain astral Plane. After a terrifying battle, almost all the Top Level strongmen of this Plane died in battle, and even the gods also fell. The northwest corner of the mainland was separated from the land and floated to the sea, becoming an isolated island. It took such a huge price to kill the three Star Beasts, and destroyed the Plane Channel of the astral Plane leading to this Plane.
The true face of that battle that year was no longer tracing in the silence of Gods. Only the most confidential collections in temple were kept in a few words.
At the end of this diary, Essien wrote a simple sentence:
Are wars the main theme among Plane?
This question was issued by Essien in the twelfth year after the first study of Foreign Plane Devil invasion.
The diary is not very long, and the description and comments are only a few words, but it can be seen from this that the person of Essien is not simple. Judging only by Divine Power and faith, then he is a good Priest at most. It is doubtful whether he can reach Level 16 in this life. In this Plane, no matter what kind of occupation, when reaching Level 16 is a qualitative change. Combatant will become a holy Warrior, Priest will advance to High Priest, and Mage will also become Archmage. But after reading through the diary, the Essien in Richard's eyes became a wise person, and his wisdom far exceeded his faith.
From the diaries of the most recent year, we can see that Essien began to search for ancient ruins purposefully, as well as some places where strange events have occurred. The reason why he is willing to run to the edge of Whiterock Dukedom to host a temple is because Whiterock Dukedom is close to the turbulent land.
The mountain area where Richard is currently located is a corner of the turbulent land.
The so-called turbulent land, in fact, area is very large, covering more than 100,000 square kilometers, and only some areas on the extreme edge are connected to human settlements. The terrain here is sinister, with high mountains and deep hills, deep ditch cliffs, inaccessible people, and High Rank monsters often appear. The turbulent land is located in the middle of the fertile plains and the Red Rock Highlands, connecting Bloodstained Lands to the north. Time and space turbulence often occurs here, and Foreign Plane creatures come down. Over time, no one knows how many strange races are hidden in the depths of the turbulent land. The purpose of Essien is to find the remnants left after the erosion of many time and space fissures or time storms in the turbulent land. He tried to use these relics to explore the true mysteries deep in Plane.
Essien has great ambitions. He wants to understand the nature of Plane and time, and find a way to connect to other Plane. Because he found that the repeated Foreign Plane invasions seem to have no connection with each other, but if you look at the history of 10,000 years, you can actually find that the strength of this Plane is slowly decreasing. The reason for the decline, according to Essien guess, is actually the decline in the amount of Divine Power of Plane.
For every wave of intruders, Plane Gods will release a round of Divine Decree. The stronger the intruder is, the Gods must show the Divine Decree more clearly for the believers ’safety. The prediction of things other than Plane is actually a consumption of Divine Power. If the prediction is very accurate and clear, the consumption will increase even more.
From the shrinking of the entire peak power of Plane today, it can also prove the inference of Essien. After the Star Beast World War I, Plane has not yet recovered its vitality. The number of strong people is now only two-thirds of the heyday, and worse, At that time, the War God **** position that had fallen at that time has not been filled by new gods. There have been no new **** positions in these years, and the number of other God Department voters, Saint, and petitioners are far from returning to pre-war.
In the thirteenth year of the Foreign Plane Devil invasion, Essien finally came up with a conjecture that this Plane is not the only Plane with True God. This conjecture is contrary to the teachings of most gods. If this diary leaks out, then he will be burned to death on the torture rack.
And Essien believes that since the nature of the relationship between Plane is plunder and war, then resources and power are crucial. If you want to break the deadlock, you only have to find a way to open the channel to Foreign Plane and win in Planar War, thereby plundering the wealth, resources and talents of Foreign Plane, so as to strengthen the power of Plane, so as to at least maintain the overall Plane The strength no longer drops.
Seeing this, Richard couldn't help being dumbfounded.
According to the rule of the gods here, this Plane is named Faro. Richard judged from the contents of the diary that most of the so-called Foreign Plane invasions in the past were actually just that some expeditionary teams occasionally came to this Plane through an unstable time gap, and had not experienced the real Planar War. Even if the Star Beast that caused the Plane was a heavy hit, it should be similar to the occasional entry of some powerful people who can directly shuttle the Plane, such as the Richard teacher Sharon.
But in Norland, Planar War has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Any standing giant can be supported by more than one rich Plane resource. It is for this reason that the war between Great Noble on Norland even exceeds the scale and severity of the war between ordinary secondary Plane countries.
Remember that the last time Richard saw Gordon, the marquis was arranging tasks to gradually nibble a certain Plane. Because Planar War is so important, there are so many related books. It has even formed a set of standard operating procedures from invasion, foothold, expansion to complete occupation.
Of course, even in Norland, Planar War is just something that very few people at the top need to think about. Therefore, various war theories are only circulated in the core circle of nobility, and ordinary people have no access to these contents. The knowledge of Richard comes from the study of Marquis Gordon, and what he did some time ago is the application of theory in practice, plus a little flexibility, strictly speaking, it is far from the time of innovation.
However, in the Faro Plane, which has never experienced a real Planar War, Essien can discover the importance and urgency of Planar War, which can hardly be described by genius and wisdom. He can be regarded as a far-sighted person, seeing the micro-knowledge book. If the time is right, he may even become a key historical figure influencing the progress of the Plane!
Unfortunately, he is just a Priest. Every time I think of this, Richard can't help but sigh.
ps: According to the convention, there is one more change tonight, the time is uncertain.
