Noel followed the general towards the Dragon's Lair.
The place where Dragon's Lair is located is called Linoldi, which is the name of the cursed place in Elvish language.
The history of this area cannot be studied at this time.
All I know is that there have been too many battles in this area, everything was dyed red with blood, and disasters followed closely behind, as if the cries of the past still linger in the air.
If famine hadn't forced people to look for new and fertile lands, it's very likely that no one would have come to this land for thousands of years.
And now, Lin Nuodi has once again faced disaster.
In modern times, this is a pure dragon-blooded country.
They exclude the existence of all other races and close the country, and the country still relies on the cultivation of bloodline power as the main way of cultivation.
Before that, they had never joined United International, and it is said that they did not join Legend either.
It is also extremely repulsive to the power of general souls.
In short, it is one of the few countries that is ‘completely neutral’.
In the past, United International and Legendary were fighting against each other. For such a small, completely neutral country, they mainly focused on wooing them and did not interfere too much.
However, now, this situation has been completely broken. People began to pour into this small country crazily, and then unscrupulously destroyed the order here, looking for the power of the dragon.
Then, these people all began to target Linnuodi's stubborn chief priest.
Stubbornness is a mental state, that is, the mentality of treating play as one's main business.
They have no other jobs, and their "main business" is difficult or unwilling to bring economic benefits.
Even if some people lose all their money, they still want to continue playing.
Luxury goods, cultural toys, antiques, and all kinds of strange and eccentric things are what they pursue.
It is difficult to trace when this culture originated. All we know is that these stubborn masters are 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 leader of the country, and there is no corresponding institution, but a very convincing person, that is, the stubborn priest.
Every once in a while, the stubborn master will have a competition to see who can play better.
The winner for ten consecutive years can become the head priest and a convincing individual in the country, presiding over all the affairs of the country.
This situation is simply unheard of for others.
The head priest is replaced every ten years, and the previous priest will become the elder.
They are responsible for following up on domestic people's livelihood and developing agriculture and various luxury-related industries.
And when the outside forces came in, most people surrendered directly, and they also 'surrendered', not caring at all that these people were wreaking havoc on this land and still 'playing'.
"Are these people fools?" Next to the general, a guy in a black windbreaker frowned as he watched those dragon-blooded people wearing luxury goods, dancing in the street and walking on the catwalk.
"No, this is their unique culture formed after being invaded countless times, that is, they do not resist in the face of invasion." At this time, Noel said.
Noel himself has good knowledge. When he was 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 on a suitable battlefield, and not just powerful enough.
Linnuodi is a country where wars often occur.
This country is extremely xenophobic and lives a simple primitive life inside.
Foreign invaders often invade this country and kill and exploit its people.
After the local residents resisted several times but were unable to do anything, they gradually formed this culture of not resisting but just having fun.
The original intention is to use all your strength to entertain yourself, without caring about the war and death that will come tomorrow or soon.
This culture already existed in earlier times, but it grew rapidly with the emergence of invasion wars.
It is said that in the earliest period, Linnuodi was the residence of elves, so it had the name Linnuodi in Elvish language.
After that, a large number of Dragonblood slaves appeared here.
These slaves did not rebel against their slave owners and become independent like those dragon-blooded ones in the outside world. They chose to be left to rot.
If you don't fight back when you hit me, you won't retaliate when you scold me. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want me to work, I will work hard every day.
After a surrender, some things happened, and the elves finally gave up on this land.
So this group of ruined dragon-blooded slaves became the masters of this country.
They later developed and became the prototype of Lin Nuo Di.
This land is quite fertile, but it seems to have a curse. After the invaders occupy this place, they will always retreat after a period of time for various reasons.
For example, local people eat the crops produced here without any problems, but when outsiders eat them, they will suffer from various diseases.
Or it could be various plagues, poisonous insects, or some weird things.
This land is deeply hostile to outsiders.
Therefore, the longest time an invader occupied this land was three years, and the shortest time was only three days.
However, the locals rarely resisted and the stubborn culture became stronger and stronger at this time.
Someone invaded today, but they still didn't care. They were enjoying everything and didn't care about the intruder at all.
They will cooperate with you no matter what you want to do. Even if you want to take their lives, they will just smile and continue playing.
"This is their ignorant happiness." The general said with a grin.
"The curse of this land seems to have been brought about by Dragon's Lair. Today this curse will definitely disappear, and without the curse to drag it 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 like the Cursed Land, this kind of surrender would only make it easier for invaders to exploit.
Noel looked at these dragon-blooded people with a trace of contemptuous pity in his eyes.
In his opinion, these people are similar to those who are the so-called true self.
Immersed in my own little happiness, I made no resistance to the invasion and fully cooperated.
The final result is that the foundation for survival is destroyed.
What is their foundation? It is this society, this environment, and this world.
After extension, it is history and timeline.
It is the existence of the God of History that guarantees all of this, so everything exists.
The Calabash Taoists are intruders, this fact will not change.
Now that these people are helping the Calabash Taoists and defeating the God of History for the so-called true self path, then the foundation of their existence has been destroyed.
"Then, there will be people with dragon blood like Lin Nuodi, immersed in this so-called happiness, and all of them will perish."
He saw a man from Linnuodi whose wife and family were killed by the 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 will only be taken away at will.
The way of the true self is based on happiness, but it is just fooling everyone in the world.
This is what Noel thinks.
Only order is the guarantee of happiness, and the God of history has constructed all order.
Only He is the future of their world.
The authorities are too weak and too short-sighted, and they only see a little freedom provided by the way of the true self.
He ignored the foundation of everything, which is why he caused such a huge chaos, created such a huge disaster, and caused 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 these people who gave up resistance, he did not want to see the killing happen in front of him.
The general also looked at Noel with a smile and chose to nod in agreement.
Following the general's order, his men gave up continuing to oppress the local residents, and instead quickly searched for the recalcitrant chief priests or the group of elders.
These people must have mastered something in order to maintain the local situation for a long time.
Otherwise, after entering modern times, their tradition would have been overthrown long ago. After all, not everyone can endure this kind of life and pursue "happiness" in a messy way.
But it is not like this now, even the soul system has not been incorporated yet, and bloodline cultivation is still going on.
Noel always believes that environment determines the basis of everything.
If this kind of culture can be born in this place, there must be an environment that restricts the emergence of other cultures.
Now it seems that bloodline practice 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 generals, 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 this situation, digging is too time-consuming.
It would be better to directly find local people who know some information, enter directly, and then complete the capture of the dragon power.
Because of the foreshadowing of the God of History, it is said that people here know more or less about the specific method of liberating Dragon's Lair.
And they all have the confidence that by finding the dragon's lair, they can break through the restrictions and completely seize the power of the dragon.
Among these people, Noel naturally has his own purpose.
He also wants to gain the power of dragons.
But compared to the general and others, his strength is still too weak.
He has only completed one legendary deed so far, and has obtained the corresponding abilities.
[System Explosion: Able to observe the weaknesses of a system, and target this weakness to generate corresponding bombs and detonate them according to one's own thoughts.]
A fairly good extraordinary ability, but that's all it is.
If used well, it can paralyze an entire system.
However, both the observation of weak points and the installation of bombs take time and can easily be interfered with.
The real-time combat effectiveness is not very strong.
