Chapter 329 A Disaster More Terrifying Than the Great Silence
Chapter 329 A Disaster More Terrifying Than the Great Silence
A hint of reminiscence appeared on Thorn's face.
Of course, what he recalled was only the history recorded in history books. Given his age, it was impossible for him to have experienced it personally.
"Iberia is the southernmost coastal country of Terra. It has been greatly influenced by the neighboring Lateran, making its religious culture prevalent."
Thorn's tone was filled with a bit of sighing: "As one of the few coastal countries on the Terra continent, this place used to be often associated with enthusiasm, vitality, luxury, and sunshine on the coast. It was even known as the Golden Kingdom.
But that is all in the past. In the last glorious period, with the help of the Argol people, Iberia continued to develop science and technology, becoming a great power on the Terra continent, and even continued to explore the ocean, forming a huge fleet that was the largest in all of Terra. "
Ye La nodded continuously as he listened.
This was also her impression of Iberia. Although Iberia had not grown to the picture described by Thorn when she was asleep, it was not as bad as it is now.
She did not interrupt Thorn and let him continue speaking.
"Iberia's golden age did not continue successfully, as it was brought to an end by an unprecedented disaster."
Thorn recalled that turbulent time, which was described in only one page in history books. He said:
"A disaster called the 'Great Silence' swept across the coastal cities of Iberia. The ocean fell into an unprecedented calm, and the coast became strange. The violent low tide and irregular waves announced the coming of disaster.
Iberia's coastal cities suffered massive damage, resulting in a technological gap and the abandonment of most technological products.
According to the information revealed to me by Qi Yan, this disaster is related to the competition between the Agors and Haisi. Now Iberia has tightened restrictions on foreign entry and cracked down on the Agors and the Deep Sea Church, which is closely related to Haisi.
In this clash of forces, no one paid attention to how Iberia could rise again, and the people living here even had to hope that the neighboring country of Lateran could take care of them. "
Thorn looked around and could still vaguely see the buildings' original glory, but unfortunately, after years of baptism, no one was willing to waste time maintaining them.
The former glory is now covered with dust and no longer has its luster.
Thorn sighed:
“I am an Agor, but I grew up in this land. Compared to my hometown called Agor, I think Iberia is my country. I admit that I have deep feelings for this place.
I look forward to the day when Iberia can return to its golden age.”
Yela blinked her blue eyes and raised the corners of her lips:
"Come on, I'm also looking forward to seeing this country restored to its clean state. I really don't like seeing dirty places."
Thorn nodded, his expression didn't change much, but his golden eyes revealed determination.
The doctor laughed and said:
"Then when you become a great hero of Iberia, don't forget to advertise for Rhodes Island and have Rhodes Island offices spread across Iberia."
"That depends on Qi Yan's actions." Thorn also smiled again, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth. "He said that one day when he finishes his work in Londinium, he will definitely come to Iberia."
"...The Great Silence is already scary enough, is he going to cause another big dog disaster?"
The doctor wiped away the non-existent cold sweat.
Everyone smiled, and their doubts about the current situation of the country finally dissipated.
But then Amiya remembered the important matter:
"Doctor, Leitania has declared war on Rhodes Island. We need your help to manage the situation. It's too late to rush back now. You..."
"Wait, what's going on?"
The Doctor almost jumped directly into the Patriot's arms, his throat shrieking with fear.
Amiya quickly recounted the entire incident.
After hearing this, the doctor patted his chest and let out a long sigh:
"You scared me. There must be some misunderstanding. With White-Haired Dog's personality, if Leitania really refused to obey and even wanted to send troops to attack Rhodes Island, it would have been destroyed long ago."
"what?"
Amiya was a little shocked: "Mr. Qi Yan would not do such a cruel thing."
The doctor patted her head and smiled without saying anything.
He knew clearly how Amiya felt towards Qi Yan, and Qi Yan was so gentle to Amiya to the core that it was inevitable that Amiya would have a certain cognitive filter towards Qi Yan.
But the doctor knew that Qi Yan really didn't care about killing people.
In Qi Yan's eyes, except for some specific groups, the people on this land are not much different from the NPCs in the game.
To this day, the doctor still doesn't understand what basis Qi Yan uses to distinguish people.
"Lend me the terminal. I'll contact Kal'tsit to explain the situation."
The Doctor and Amiya came to the terminal, and then signaled to everyone that there was no need to stay on the street and they could just get in the car.
A group of people dispersed and boarded vehicles with Rhode Island logos printed on the roadside.
Everyone else squeezed into the two cars, which were just enough to accommodate everyone, but the Patriot crouched down, sighed, and got into his own car.
Another lonely journey...
Before getting on the car, Ye La suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction, as if warning someone with his eyes.
Thorn noticed her little action and raised his eyebrows:
"Someone from the Inquisition?"
"No." Yela opened the car door and explained, "A woman who is as wet and ocean-scented as you is much better than those people in the Inquisition."
"Is there any threat?" Thorn frowned even more tightly.
"She received my warning and left. She had no ill intentions, so I did not punish her."
Yela sat in the car, patted the seat next to him, and signaled to Thorn not to worry.
Thorn nodded, got into the car and stopped thinking about it.
With the young god Yela around, even if a natural disaster strikes them, it won't hurt a single hair on their heads.
……
……
Outside the Rhodes Island ship, in the wilderness.
Murphy drove with one hand and rested his other hand on the car window, making a standard dangerous driving move.
The hot wind in the wilderness blew on his face, making him feel a little sleepy.
"You are driving while fatigued. Let me replace you," Czerny said worriedly.
"Don't worry too much. The big guy in front is Rhodes Island. What kind of accident can happen at such a short distance?" Murphy said carelessly.
Czerny pursed his lips, stopped dwelling on these matters, and said:
"Should we contact Rhodes Island in advance to avoid being mistaken for unidentified persons and being intercepted by them?"
Before Black Key and White Chalk in the back seat of the car could speak, Gertrude immediately stood up to support Czerny:
"Lord Murphy, you should listen to Czerny's advice. Rhodes Island must be very impressive to be able to attract someone like Qi Yan."
"Woman, my elder brother was right."
Murphy was immediately unhappy and snorted, "You are plotting something bad against Teacher Che. These days you have regained your freedom and you keep pestering Teacher Che, chattering non-stop. Why didn't I know you were such a chatterbox before?"
"If you dare to say that again, I'll tear your mouth off!"
“I don’t want a taxi!”
Two roars suddenly sounded in the car.
