Chapter 505 The So-called Great Secret Treasure

Chapter 505 The So-called Great Secret Treasure
The red-haired man pondered for a few seconds after hearing what Lu Li said, "So they became Tianlong people."

Lu Li nodded. "They chose to further mythologize their status and simply turned the twenty allied countries into a community of interests. The royal family was removed and became the Celestial Dragons, and then they ruled and harvested the entire world. The idiots among the Celestial Dragons always like to brag that they saved the world and therefore have the right to enjoy privileges. This is not nonsense."

The red-haired man felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what Lu Li said, "Brother Lu, I am also a Tianlong."

"Aren't you a pirate? Let's talk about our own things. Do you still want to call Jialin Sheng daddy when you see him?"

Lu Li teased.

"Hahaha, Brother Lu, sometimes what you say is really unpleasant to hear."

The redhead laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

"I'm getting off topic. Just now you asked why the Celestial Dragons wanted to hide their history. It's a simple reason. They don't want anyone to use the heritage of the Moon People, which would threaten their ruling position."

Lu Li said, "Just imagine that no ruler would want the ancient weapons buried in the world to be dug up by others, right? Instead of worrying that the ancient weapons hidden somewhere will suddenly surface one day, it would be better to simply erase history and let people not know about the existence of such things."

"So the Tianlong people didn't have any scandals during those hundred years?"

The red-haired man seemed a little disappointed. "I thought there would be some shocking revelations, but it turns out that the Celestial Dragons were still the righteous side in a sense at that time."

"From the perspective of the people of the mainland, the Celestial Dragons at that time were certainly righteous. It is estimated that in order to defeat the giant kingdom, many brave warriors died, and they used a lot of wisdom and strategies to defeat the giant kingdom with future technology."

Lu Li analyzed, "It's a pity that times are changing. Eternally just rulers only exist in fairy tales. In fact, the moment they became celestial dragons, they had already separated themselves from their original class and transformed into evil beings that exploited the world."

The red-haired man sighed when he heard this, "As the saying goes, a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon, that's the truth..."

"After all, being a dragon is fun. This is something that we all find hard to deny. Therefore, whether we can stick to our original intentions after slaying the dragon is the most difficult thing."

Lu Li said with a smile, and the two continued to walk forward and came to the second half of the mural.

Some of the murals here record a figure that they are all familiar with, that is Joy Boy, a silhouette that looks very happy.

However, judging from the silhouette, Joyboy's body was not very big, more like the size of a normal person, not the giant that Lu Li had imagined.

He had previously guessed that Joy Boy would be a giant because giants have a long lifespan. Since the Giant Kingdom could fight a war for a hundred years, Joy Boy should also have a long lifespan.

But when he saw these murals, he suddenly realized that Joy Boy might not have been present in the war that lasted for a hundred years. Joy Boy was the last hero born in the huge kingdom.

Judging from the mural, Joyboy is strong and charismatic, and can bring laughter to anyone.

From watching the series of pictures, it can be seen that Joy Boy seems to want to change the relationship between the giant kingdom and the people of the continent, hoping to end the war and stop everyone from killing each other.

Due to the use of ancient weapons, the sea level has risen a lot. Joyboy believes that if the war continues like this, the world will surely fall into doomsday, so he has been working hard for peace.

But unfortunately, although the people on the moon have advanced technology and strong warfare capabilities, they are far inferior to people on the ground in terms of scheming.

How could Joy Boy, a simple and kind-hearted boy, defeat the kings of twenty countries? Next, Lu Li and Red Hair saw the reason for the outcome of this war.

This is also one of the reasons why the World Government wants to hide the truth of history. After all, even without text, Lu Li and Red Hair understood this history. The World Government’s victory was truly dishonorable.

In terms of military strength, the twenty kingdoms and the many countries that followed them, to put it bluntly, only have a large population and backward equipment, and it is impossible for them to directly defeat the huge kingdom with high technology.

Eight hundred years ago, the huge kingdom attacked the countries on the continent by using high technology to defeat the primitive people. If there were not some powerful devil fruits among the primitive people, they would have been defeated long ago.

In this situation, it seems impossible to defeat the giant kingdom, but the reality is that the world government is ruling the world and the giant kingdom has become the loser.

The reason is that the Twenty Kingdoms made a proposal to Joyboy, who was eager for peace, that is, they believed that they were at a disadvantage in terms of technology and military strength, and a ceasefire was unrealistic under such circumstances.

Because their subjects would feel uneasy, fearing that one day they would be destroyed with ancient weapons by a huge kingdom that had established a foothold on the continent.

The Twenty Kingdoms conveyed their opinions to Joyboy. They believed that long-term peace required the two sides to have similar strength and the ability to deter each other so that neither side would take action.

The words on those murals were densely packed, which should be a very complicated negotiation process. Lu Li and Red Hair couldn't understand them, but they roughly deduced the meaning through the connection between each painting.

To put it simply, if the twenty kingdoms want peace, it is simple. You, the huge kingdom, give us an ancient weapon. In this way, everyone will have ancient weapons and will not fight each other easily.

Speaking of which, the people of the continent eight hundred years ago were really tough. The huge kingdom had used ancient weapons before. They had used them several times in the early days when they wanted to end the war and deter other countries.

But the people of the huge kingdom were more kind after all. They did not use ancient weapons against any country, but only fired them in the open air or in the sea as a deterrent.

Later they discovered that ancient weapons would cause sea levels to rise, so the huge kingdoms restrained themselves from using them in wars.

The warriors from various countries, who had only seen the power of ancient weapons, were not afraid and dared to fight them. This was so brave that even Lu Li was surprised.

All I can say is that a person’s intelligence is not always a positive buff. People in the pirate world are not smart enough, but they are really brave and romantic.

Joy Boy suddenly appeared in the Giant Kingdom and became a free pirate. After traveling around the sea countries, he wanted to end the war and enter an era of peace, so he negotiated successfully with the Twenty Kingdoms on behalf of the Giant Kingdom... and gave the King of Heaven to the Twenty Kingdoms.

Seeing this, Lu Li and Red Hair both had strange expressions, and they looked at each other and could read each other's outrageous emotions.

It can only be said that Joy Boy’s naivety was so unbearable that even Red Hair couldn’t stand it, as he actually handed the ancient weapon to his enemy with his own hands.

The rest of the story was very simple. As Lu Li and Red Hair had expected, the mural depicted the fallout between the World Government and the Giant Kingdom. After they got the ancient weapons, they started the final battle with the Giant Kingdom. And this was a case of people with low morale bullying people with high morale. Until the Giant Kingdom was defeated, they did not use ancient weapons to fight against the Twenty Kingdoms, because they did not want this only land where everyone could survive to be submerged by the sea.

At that time, the twenty countries held the King of Heaven, and even had a large amount of energy for the King of Heaven to launch as a friendly gift from Joy Boy when the negotiations were established. It was simply a base for global bombing of the huge kingdom.

Moreover, the Twenty Kingdoms had no moral bottom line at all. In order to destroy the Giant Kingdom as quickly as possible and take its technology for themselves, they used ancient weapons without restriction. In just a few years of war, they raised the sea level by two hundred meters and often caused tsunamis that were enough to affect the entire world.

The huge kingdom's combat power and technological strength are indeed strong. Without using ancient weapons to fight, they can actually hold out for several years under the attack of the king.

During this period, the giant kingdoms did not do nothing. Even if they were made of clay, they would get angry and of course want to counterattack, but they did not want the world to be destroyed, so they have been looking for ways to overcome the destruction of the world.

That is the treasure placed in Raftel. Since Lu Li and Red Hair are both illiterate, they cannot understand the specific introduction, but they can see that the huge kingdom wants to use this thing to lower the sea level.

With this invention, they can fight the Twenty Kingdoms without any hesitation.

But unfortunately, by the time they succeeded in their research and development, the giant kingdom had already been defeated. Joyboy, as the leader of the freedom, fought alone against the strongest warriors of the twenty kingdoms and died of exhaustion.

At this point, the great kingdom has become history, and this history will eventually be buried by the world government.

The main reason is that the history of the subsequent decisive battle is too shameful for the World Government.

It is said that all is fair in war, and there is nothing wrong with stealing ancient weapons, but their unscrupulous use of ancient weapons has destroyed many countries because of the rising sea level.

From the moment they got the ancient weapons, the war had changed. It was no longer a war of self-defense against invaders, but a bottomless war for their own greed.

From this perspective, the pattern and vision of the huge kingdom are indeed admirable. In any case, if Lu Li were in the other's shoes, it would be impossible for him to just take a beating without fighting back.

Most people would probably choose to use ancient weapons to fight back, and let no one live, just destroy it, quickly.

Joey Boy doesn't think so, which is why he seems ridiculous and great, and that's why so many people admire him and are willing to follow him.

To be honest, the truth is always boring. When Lu Li was reading comics in the space, he also wondered if Joey Boy would be another "heroic man"

Judging from the mural, it really looks like an enlarged version of the "heroic man" Kozuki Oden.

But the core of this matter is actually different. Although it may be due to the limited length of the mural, Joy Boy does not have as many bad habits as Kozuki Oden himself, and he is a person with real charisma.

Secondly, although Joey Boy's gift of ancient weapons seemed naive, if we think normally, they also have ancient weapons in their hands, and the huge kingdom is technologically advanced, so they are still at an advantage in the war, and the theory that 'ancient weapons are wary of each other' is correct.

He just didn't expect that the Twenty Nations would be so cruel. They were not afraid that they would usher in an era of destruction by ancient weapons bombarding each other, and they completely ignored the rising sea level.

As for why he didn't use ancient weapons to fight back, this matter is not comparable to Oden dancing in the flower street to seek peace, because the nature and pattern of the two are different.

The result of Oden not fighting back with force was that he allowed Gai to develop and his people were enslaved for many years. If he had been ruthless enough to start a war with force, he could have changed the outcome.

But if Joy Boy chooses to fight hard, the result will be that everyone will die together, his followers and people will also die, and there will be no positive benefits.

Oden is concerned about his own family affairs, while Joyboy is concerned about the survival of the entire human species and civilization. He can fight back, but that will destroy the planet.

Moreover, Oden did nothing during the years when he was dancing, but Joy Boy had arranged for people to invent something to fight against the destruction of the world. Once he could lower the sea level, he would definitely fight back with ancient weapons instead of just playing the clown and waiting to die.

But in this world, the winners are the kings and the losers are the villains. Joy Boy was defeated in the end. The Gigantic Kingdom had no chance to use its invention that could save the world, and they were completely defeated by the World Government.

The ending can only be described as sad and regretful. Lu Li would not worship people like Joey Boy, but he would not hate them either.

Judging from the current situation, Joyboy might really be right. At least those who inherit his will will have a chance to rise again after eight hundred years, and the world will not be destroyed.

"So, what Raftel left behind is the final legacy of the great kingdom."

After reading it, Red Hair was also full of emotion, "With this thing, we won't have to worry so much when we go to war with the World Government."

"It's just a question of moral bottom line. The Celestial Dragons live above the Red Earth Continent. I'm afraid they are ready to bombard the world and sink it at any time."

Lu Li said, "We have a lot to consider."

He and Red Hair followed the instructions of the mural and walked into the downward stairs at the end of the mural. The technological level of the huge kingdom was amazing. This was clearly a cold winter island, but after entering the basement, the air instantly warmed up and became a comfortable 26 degrees.

What you see is a huge research base. Even after eight hundred years, it is still spotless because the air purification system here is always running and there are robots cleaning the ground.

"You two, welcome to Raftel."

Just then, a well-dressed robot walked out and saluted Lu Li and Hongfa like a butler.

Lu Li and Red Hair both found it strange that the other party actually spoke the common language of this world. It was Lu Li who asked first, "Is the hidden device here completed? Can it be activated?"

The mural was rather vague at the end, and Lu Li wasn't sure whether the installation here was finished. If it was a half-finished product, it would be a pain in the ass.

"The tidal device is ready. If you two want to take a look, please follow me."

The robot butler led the way and added, "But if it is activated, it requires certain permissions."
