"Master MacDonald, as a human being, you must have heard of that legend that is widely spread in all human nations."

Aldridge's voice became deep, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly dignified, which was something Macdonald had never seen in the decades he had known him.

Macdonald looked at Yarvi, Aldedridge's junior also had the same serious expression as his senior.

"There are many myths that are widely circulated in human countries."

McDonald said, waiting for their further clarification.

This time it was Yarvi's turn to speak: "The war between humans and demons!"

"The myth of the ancient war between man and devil?"

Macdonald asked in surprise.

"Yes, that is the myth."

Yarvi nodded in confirmation.

"Does this myth have any special meaning to your scholar's tower?"

"It is of great significance not only to our Scholar's Tower, but also to the Gabela Empire, and to the entire human race. To put it bluntly, this myth... is related to the life and death of our race, that is, the survival of human beings."

"This... this... what do you mean?"

Aldrich said emphatically: "The demons—our human life and death enemies, they—or their threat still exist!"

"Demon race?"

MacDonald stood up, "Is this evil race that is so ancient that it is almost mythical that it really exists?"

Wait, Macdonald realized that they seemed to be discussing mythology.

He sat down slowly again, and for a moment he even had a sense of absurdity, what kind of demons, what kind of race's life and death, isn't this something that only appears in the adventures of the brave?

Regarding the myth of the war between humans and demons, the various versions of the human kingdoms are similar:

In ancient times, terrible demons invaded this continent through the sealed gate in the extreme north.

The demons are a very terrifying race. They enslave human beings, mutilate human beings, and even use human beings as food. They are evil existences that cannot be reasoned with and live in peace with them. Moreover, their combat effectiveness is very strong and they have many incredible powers.

Faced with such a huge threat, the human beings on the mainland finally let go of their disputes and united to resist the invasion of the demons. After decades of arduous struggle, the demons were finally expelled from the continent and fled back to the sealed land. Beyond the Gate—a terrifying place that humans call the endless abyss.

The so-called Sealed Gate is a later name. This "gate" was originally the channel through which the demons entered the mainland. After the demons were expelled back to the endless abyss, under the devout prayers of mankind, the Lord of Light appeared, The Heavenly Father showed her mighty power to the world, and the passage between the human continent and the endless abyss was sunk into the sea, while the extreme north was covered by thick ice and snow, which remained unchanged all year round, and became an absolute realm of life—even for As far as the demons are concerned, the passage that can no longer be found is called the sealed door.

The war between man and devil is an enduring topic in the human world.

The brave defeated the devil and saved the world—many such stories were created based on the myth of the ancient war between man and devil.

There are also many epics that have been handed down to this day from this war that has no Ming history records.

But reason told him that the two highly respected scholars in front of him invited a dignified senior general of the empire to come here definitely not for discussion or poetry topics.

Yarvi's next words made him even more surprised, "Not only demons are real, but magic and wizards are also real."

Jarvi paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "For example, His Highness Antonio's mother."

Macdonald's eyelids twitched, "His Royal Highness's mother... is really a witch?"

He had always thought that this was a rumor fabricated by other people—such as the Dias family—to tarnish the reputation of His Royal Highness Antonio.

Magic and wizards do exist, and the object of his allegiance is the son of a witch.

Macdonald's hand holding the teacup stayed in the air, and his whole body froze.

Aldridge and Jarvi didn't continue talking, they knew that this information would be very abrupt to Macdonald, so they waited for the old marshal to react.

To their surprise, Macdonald only took a few seconds to digest the information, he exhaled softly, and then took a sip of tea.

Jarvi asked: "How? Sir MacDonald, when the myth comes into reality, what do you think in your heart?"

Macdonald said in a normal tone: "There are still many things I don't know, what I want to know most now is-the demons, humans, His Highness Antonio, and His Highness's witch mother. Is there any connection between these? Oh, please rest assured, although I am surprised, my loyalty to His Highness has not diminished in the slightest."

Both Aldrich and Yarvi secretly admired in their hearts, they really deserved to be the veterans of the empire who fought half their lives on the battlefield, and their mental qualities were too strong. Originally, the two of them wanted to see the embarrassment of the old marshal, but now they failed.

Aldrich looked at MacDonald and said, "Master MacDonald, scholars in our Tower of Scholars generally believe that myths are the collective memory of a nation, and myths are unlikely to be created out of thin air. It may have been polished or exaggerated, or it may be completely different from the original version, but as long as you follow the clues in it all the way to the source, there must be a historical event that actually happened, which is the origin of the myth.”

Jarvi explained: "Just like a majestic river, where it flows through, there will be many tributaries flowing into it, but no matter how big the river is, there will always be a source, even if the source may be only A small lake."

MacDonald nodded lightly, expressing his understanding of what the two bachelors said.

…

Harper's face was full of reluctance, UU reading www.uukanshu. com led his team to the south.

The wound on his face was not healed, still swollen, and almost the whole face was covered with ointment.

The face in this state is stuffed into an iron helmet, which is not so cool in the tropical climate of Jiaowan.

After the last rout, his superior, Semen Fedotov, replenished him with troops, and immediately ordered him to continue to lead the way for the army as a forward.

"The honor you lost with your own hands, it's up to you to find it back with your own hands."

Fedotov admonishes Harper so much, Harper is very glad that he was born in the current family, otherwise Fedotov would have taken his head off.

This time, the forward force was not too far apart from the main force under Fedotov's personal command. Once the forward encountered any situation, the main force behind could rush to support immediately.

But even so, Harper was still trembling in his heart.

There is no other reason, the psychological shadow left on him by the last battle is too great.
