Chapter 245 Orcs? Humans?
"Father, don't we only have seven races in the beast tribe?"
"Tauren, centaurs, trolls."
"Lion tribe, fox tribe, feather tribe and werewolf..."
Lucy counted and snapped her fingers.
"Father, look, there are exactly seven races. When did it become eight?"
Chen Xian was also confused.
In the library of Ness Magic and Martial Arts Academy, there are indeed only these seven ancient orc races recorded.
"Feeling weird, right?" Old Fox stood up and said mysteriously, "You will never guess the last race."
"Is it because of the strong force?"
Old Fox shook his head.
"Or is it superior wisdom?"
Old Fox shook his head again and continued to sip his tea.
"What are the conditions?"
Lucy was a little embarrassed and said coquettishly: "Father, just tell Lucy directly!"
Old Fox ignored his daughter's request and turned to Chen Xian to hear his opinion.
"It should be the population!" Chen Xian said softly, "For a race to become a large race, it must have a large population base."
Old Fox raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Yes, it is the population. The seven races you just mentioned, Lucy, were the most numerous among the orcs in ancient times."
Lucy nodded in sudden realization, "So the eighth race that father mentioned was also a large race in ancient times?"
Old Fox nodded and looked at Chen Xian meaningfully.
"That must be the bee tribe. There are millions of them in one colony."
"No, the Bee Tribe are not strictly speaking orcs."
"That's the merman tribe. The ocean is so vast, there must be a lot of mermen."
"I meant orcs, not murlocs."
……
Lucy listed many races in one breath, but old Fox rejected them one by one.
"Father, just tell us!" Lucy acted like a spoiled child again.
Old Fox remained motionless and turned to ask Chen Xian: "Brother Shi, what do you think?"
When Chen Xian saw Old Fox's strange look, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He remembered that Master Wen Dou's secret document mentioned it.
The gods are actually dual-element elves of wind and light; while the demons are dual-element elves of darkness and fire; humans' magic and fighting spirit actually come from the elven bloodline.
If you understand it this way.
Can all the races on the Tianlong Continent be considered as the same - the elves?
In other words, they can also be regarded as beastmen.
Thinking of this, Chen Xian suddenly understood what the eighth race that Old Fox was talking about was.
"Humans?" Chen Xian said tentatively, "Humans are the most prosperous race on the Tianlong Continent."
"Haha, Stoneheart, aren't you monkeys also one of the intelligent races?" Lucy retorted, "If your answer is monkeys, it sounds more reasonable than humans!"
"Humans are indeed the most populous race on the Tianlong Continent." Old Fox added, "But humans are not usually considered to be orcs."
"Father, you say..." Lucy originally expected to get her father's support, but saw old Fox's shocked expression.
"Yes, it's a human." Old Fox drank the tea in the cup in one gulp. "Lucy, don't be surprised."
"It seems that the envoy you invited knows more than I thought."
What a joke!
Aren’t there orcs on the Tianlong Continent?
That is the child born between humans and beasts!
There is reproductive isolation between different ethnic groups.
Conversely, those without reproductive isolation are members of the same ethnic group.
Knowledge points of nine-year compulsory education.
Thinking of this, Chen Xian thought of half-elves again.
Could it be that all the intelligent creatures on the entire continent come from the same race?
What about the dragon people?
The dragon should be considered a monster!
Humans and Monsters...
Chen Xian was shocked by his own thoughts and quickly recited a meditation mantra silently.
Old Fox's confirmed answer made Lucy cover her mouth in surprise.
"How can humans be considered beastmen?" She obviously found it difficult to accept this subversive information.
"Yeah, how can humans be considered beasts?" Old Fox took the kettle and prepared to pour tea, but found that his hands were too weak to lift the kettle.
It was as if the words just now had exhausted his strength.
Lucy quickly took over and helped her father pour tea, "Father, were you serious about what you just said?"
At this moment, she still couldn't believe that conclusion.
"I know it's hard for you to accept." Old Fox took the tea and took a sip. He seemed to have regained some strength. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Emperor Wu of Tang two thousand years ago should have known this as well."
"He tried his best to prevent a war that nearly destroyed the world."
Chen Xian frowned. It was Emperor Wu of Tang again.
This cultivator from the Blue Star seems to be involved in all the secrets of this world.
Senior Chen Tang, if you had been a little more conservative, perhaps you would not have died.
Thinking of his plan to fight against the Church and the angels,
It seems that I am bolder than my predecessors.
Forget it. As a practitioner, one should act according to one’s heart.
"Old Patriarch, since the leaders of orcs and humans knew that they belonged to the same tribe, why did they fight for thousands of years?"
"Is it for the Beast God's treasure?" Chen Xian asked, trying to guide the topic back to the Beast God's treasure.
Old Fox sighed, "Brother Shi is really smart. If there were no monkeys among the eight races, I would have suspected that you were one of them."
He clinked tea with Chen Xian, and then began to tell the secret of the war between humans and beasts two thousand years ago.
The war was started by humans, initially targeting the Feathered Tribe.
The Feathered Tribe are similar to angels, with wings on their backs, but they only have one pair and the number does not increase as their strength grows.
When the Feather Tribe was almost extinct, the other beastmen realized that humans were targeting the entire beastmen, so they joined forces to save the Feather Tribe and launched a protracted war with humans.
The subsequent stories are recorded in the history books of Tianlong Continent. Although the details are slightly different, the general outline is consistent.
"Our fox tribe has also begun to decline since that war."
"I feel so ashamed of my ancestors!" Old Fox sighed.
Chen Xian's heart twitched. This old fox had gone off topic again.
Now is not the time to cry!
The most important thing is the treasure of the Beast God?
"Father, where is the Beast God's treasure?" Lucy asked curiously.
Old Fox finally got back to the point.
"The secret of the Beast God's treasure is hidden in eight sentences."
"The eight major races have been passing it down orally for tens of thousands of years."
Hearing this, Chen Xian couldn't help but smile inwardly.
Word of mouth?
The Beast God may have never played the "game of word"!
After being passed on by three or four people, the meaning will become unrecognizable.
What’s more, it has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years?
Can this still be found?
Perhaps it would be more reliable to go back to Lan'er and the others first and develop power steadily.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge... and even twenty years is not too late when facing a powerful angel.
"Father, are you talking about the inheritance of magic?" Lucy interrupted.
Old Fox nodded in confirmation.
Inheriting magic?
Although Chen Xian had never heard of this kind of magic, he immediately rekindled his hope.
It’s exciting to think about dealing with the angel and saving my princess wife twenty years in advance.
