But now, she suddenly realized that in front of her was an elf who had truly experienced the last demon-sealing war. This was a living history book!

At that moment, Ariel immediately became interested. She was no longer sleepy, and she didn't even think that the busy day was nothing. She directly asked: "Ego, judging from your tone, you seem to understand the brave very well?"

Egg laughed, he slightly raised the lute in his hand, and continued: "I don't know much about it. I should say that a long time ago... I have seen the brave men of that class... Well

, he is the most famous brave man of that generation that you know.”

Having said this, Yi Ge raised his head, as if he was reminiscing about the past time, silently recalling it, and at the same time, his fingers slowly plucked the strings, flowing out a clear and soothing movement——

"At that time, it should be the time when the brave man is about to lead the last group of death squads on the entire Golden Continent, planning to break into the hinterland of the Demon King's position to launch a surprise attack and delay the regular army. I am fortunate enough to unite with some other bards to fight for

This brave man's solitude went so deep that he composed a song. It is a hymn written for the courage of the brave man, and it is also an elegy for this brave man and the other suicide squad members who embarked on this road that may have no return without hesitation."

"And the title of 'brave' should have been decided at that time."

Ariel listened with relish, and at the same time she was imagining how impassioned and tragic the brave man's path forward was in that demon-sealing battle!

What made her even more interested was that the bard in front of her actually participated in the farewell performance that year? Although it was just playing the piano, but... even so, it was already amazing.

Egg paused for a moment, as if he was still reminiscing about the past experience. After a long time, he took a breath, calmed down, faced Ariel with a smile, and continued to play the strings in his hand——

"Thankfully, we won the final demon sealing battle. Although we paid a very heavy price for that victory... even the entire death squad members were wiped out, and only the brave man came back alive. Such a tragic and heroic thing.

It is definitely worthy of being remembered by all the creatures on the Golden Continent and recorded in the annals of history."

Hearing this, Ariel couldn't help but wonder: "Then, why are there so few records about brave men now?"

Egg smiled bitterly and said: "Have you forgotten? After the Demon King was sealed, the entire Golden Continent fell into a war of warcraft for almost three hundred years. Many countries were destroyed at this time, so a lot of information should also be

It must have been lost at this time."

"But I feel that the reason why many of this brave man's deeds have not been recorded is probably due to the brave man's own wishes and a combination of other factors."

"As far as I know, after the Demon Sealing War, although the hero himself survived by chance, he was seriously injured and did not have much fighting power. So after that, he hoped to find a place to rest well. After all, he had finished

He has fulfilled his historical mission and this rest is what he deserves."

"For many countries at that time, they were probably very willing to accept this reality. After all, this was the real hero who led the Demon Sealing War! If such a hero did not intend to retire after sealing the Demon King, and

If you want to stand up and participate in politics, I'm afraid not many countries have the connections and strength to shake this hero who saved the world."

"Therefore, many races hope that the brave man will retire and gradually forget the existence of this brave man. The victory of the Demon Sealing War is attributed to the concerted efforts of everyone in the entire Golden Continent. In this way, no one is

What’s special is that everyone is a hero and everyone participated in the battle, so there is no personal worship of the brave man himself.”

After thinking for a while, Ariel nodded slightly and said: "This is quite understandable. A person who is powerful, but does not listen to his own orders, and has extremely high popularity and prestige among the people, is very important to any existing regime.

It is a disaster for everyone. If the other party is unwilling to retire and accept management, then what will happen next will probably be a despicable action that has absolutely no sense of honor."

Egg nodded slightly, and the sound of the piano in his hand seemed a little more impassioned, and continued: "I don't know if the brave man back then also saw through such a result, so he took the initiative to retire. The fact is that he took many rewards provided by the king,

He voluntarily went to an isolated overseas island, concealed his identity, and lived the rest of his life in an ordinary way."

"When he went to the isolated island overseas, some of the strongest members of each race at that time followed the brave man one after another, either because they admired the brave man, or because they couldn't stand the practice of various countries.

They lived in seclusion together on an isolated island overseas."

Involuntarily, Ariel opened her mouth slightly with a surprised expression, shook her head and said: "According to you, this overseas island actually became the most powerful place in the entire Golden Continent at that time?"

Yi Ge chuckled, and the sound of the piano became soothing again, and said: "If you really want to think so... you can also think so. The reason why the subsequent Warcraft Rebellion was so difficult to calm down is probably because of the many problems at that time.

The strong men have left, and there is not much inheritance, which may have something to do with the lack of fighting power in each country."

Ariel also nodded and said: "A result is likely to be achieved by the combination of multiple reasons. I can understand this. What happens next? The brave man just... passed it calmly.

The rest of my life? And then what?"

After thinking for a while, Yi Ge continued: "As an elf, I am more or less confident in my own lifespan."

"Back then, I was just a small support staff member, and I had nothing to do, so I played some music. This allowed me to witness the glory of this brave man with my own eyes."

"I feel ashamed to say it. After that, the place where the elves lived was destroyed. I also thought about this brave man, so I also wanted to go to that overseas island. So one day I finally made up my mind to go and meet that warrior in the war.

hero."

"But... when I finally arrived on the island, I realized the ruthlessness of time. Before I knew it, fifty years had passed since the Demon Sealing War, and the brave man's current residence was already an elegant building.

, a solemn but not very luxurious tombstone.”

"I really respect that brave man, so when I knew this, I was really surprised. But at that time, except being able to play a song again in front of his grave, I could do nothing

Less than.”

"However, just when I felt sorry for my late arrival, I discovered that this overseas island...the residents who went to this island together and now live there actually have a very strange ritual.

.”

In an instant, Ariel's eyes lit up. She instinctively felt that there might be some key factors in this!

Egg stopped playing and said slowly: "It seems that after each brave person dies, the local residents will use some very complicated rituals to select the next brave person from the younger generation."

"At this time, those young people on the island who are determined to inherit the title of brave will go through a series of tests related to courage, wisdom, strength, justice, etc. And the young man who passes the test will be awarded the new title.

The title of 'brave' will be given until the death of the brave man, and the next round of selection will be carried out again."

"At that time, the person who received me was the new brave man who took over after the death of the most famous brave man. There is no doubt that the power displayed by the brave man in his forties after holding this title still impressed me.

Surprised and shocked!”

"I was very confused at that time, because there were not that many monsters on the island where they lived, and the combat effectiveness of their entire island was also very high! Everyone has left behind powerful fighting methods, even if it is a country.

It is impossible to easily tear apart their defenses and attack them."

"So I asked them, now that the demon king has disappeared, why do you still pass on the title of brave? If it is just to commemorate, these young people should be trained so harshly to make them far beyond ordinary adventurers.

What’s the point of reaching the pinnacle of combat effectiveness?”

"At that time, the brave man said something that touched me deeply."

After Egg paused for a moment, seeing the anticipation flashing in Ariel's eyes, he exhaled slightly and said slowly -

"The successor hero said that the hero back then was not able to completely defeat the Demon King. Instead, he could only seal him."

"Since the Demon King is not dead, the seal is destined to slowly weaken and gradually decline as time goes by."

"Although he has warned many countries on the Golden Continent that the Demon King's seal must be reinforced at all times and heavily guarded. However, re-reinforcement and maintenance of the seal itself is a very huge project that requires a lot of time and energy.

The materials needed will probably cost a lot of money."

"The brave man believes that even at the beginning, these countries will jointly spend money and efforts to maintain this seal, but as time goes by, it is really difficult to guarantee whether such maintenance will continue forever. What if a hundred years later?

, Thousands of years later, the original oath of maintenance has been forgotten, but the ancient seal has gradually worn out over the long years, and finally can no longer be effective, what should we do?"

Egg paused, then raised his head with a hint of reverence, looked at the mermaid song pattern under the ceiling, and said slowly -

"The successor brave said that if the countries on this golden continent really slack off in the end, then in the end, they, the brave men from generation to generation, will be the last line of insurance."

"In order to prevent the sealed demon king from breaking through the seal and resurrecting one day in the future, for the safety of this world, the ritual of the brave must be passed down from generation to generation, forever ensuring that a certain person in this world

There is always a brave man in the corner who is ready to go, ready to face the most difficult and powerful challenges anytime and anywhere."

"This is the inheritance story of the Island of Braves. Whether it is ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years... I think that if the island is not wiped out due to various reasons, those who still remain on the island should still be in the same generation.

Prepare for another generation..."

After hearing the whole story, to be honest, Ariel was really shocked.

Thinking back to more than a thousand years ago, the hero who rescued the entire Golden Continent was not greedy for power, nor did he even want to enjoy the rest of his life peacefully and comfortably. Instead, after sealing the Demon King, he immediately began to imagine the Demon King's seal.

What to do after disappearing...

If possible, Ariel really has some admiration for this brave senior... What a great personality this person is! Even after death, he still wants to retain the last glimmer of hope for this world...

…

If such a person really appeared in front of her, Ariel believed that she would be completely impressed by his personality charm.

But……

I have to say it again.

Although this person has a very strong personality and has indeed considered many things, this practice of being passed down from generation to generation is really criticized.

Leave the last piece of insurance for the Golden Continent and the entire world?

The last piece of insurance lies in your little island, in the last brave men you have trained generation after generation?

As mentioned during the last demon sealing battle, the brave man and a group of death squads rushed into the hinterland of the demon king's camp and launched a surprise battle. In the end, the entire death squads were killed, and the brave man was seriously injured, and then he won the victory.

So, what's the use of just cultivating a brave man now?

If this island can really cultivate a very powerful peak combat power in every generation, wouldn't the safest way be to bring this peak combat power back to the Golden Continent every once in a while, and then personally remind each country to strengthen the Demon King's seal?

?

Are you really so worried that all the countries in the Golden Continent are watching the seals gradually wear out due to economic problems, and are unwilling to spend some money to repair them?

Well, if it is true that all the countries on the continent are so cheating, and the people on the Brave Island realize that the Demon King will definitely come back again, then wouldn’t it be great to pass on your experience in cultivating braves to the entire Golden Continent?!

Since we can cultivate one brave man, why can't we cultivate a large number of brave men in batches?

A small island can raise a peak combat power. Ariel still doesn’t believe that each country’s financial and material resources cannot support more than ten or twenty peak combat power!

At that time, will the devil have the courage to come out? If he really has the courage to come out, he will not face one brave man, but hundreds of brave men! Wouldn't it be more efficient in this case?
To be continued...
