Chapter 256: Chapter 150 Thoughts Gradually Enlightened (Request for Recommendation Tickets)
“Nors.”
After the meeting adjourned, Bailuo kept Nors behind alone, “You’re silent, is there something on your mind?”
“This…”
Nors spoke frankly, telling Bailuo about the concerns that troubled him about Sigurian.
“These matters, indeed, I kept from you all.”
The uncle hadn’t truly hidden anything from Bailuo; over the years, he had revealed little by little.
Therefore, when the day of truth finally came to light, Bailuo was neither surprised nor unable to accept it.
Nors was not a man of frail spirit; if the people of Yatun truly betrayed the Kingdom of Yatun, Nors would not tolerate it either.
But the problem was, the Kingdom of Yatun was the Kingdom of Yatun, and the Yatun Duchy was the Yatun Duchy.
The miracle that Bailuo found, the country he established, why repeat an obsolete kingdom, a name that could be completely discarded.
Just like when he found the Tree Elf, why still call it Yatun?
Just pick a new name, like, like Yagen people.
Okay, that’s a bit arbitrary.
But picking any name at will would be better than Yatun, right?
“The Kingdom of Yadun has already perished.”
Bailuo, “I don’t actually blame those who overthrew her, after all, the nation is the people’s choice. If the people are tired of her, why insist on keeping it?”
“Back then, what exactly…”
What exactly happened back then, Nors wanted to know, Bailuo said, “Eight hundred years ago, our ancestors came to this New Continent from the Old Mainland and established the Kingdom of Yatun.”
“You know all this.”
“So I’m talking about what happened after that.”
As Bailuo and Nors walked through the corridors of Avalon Castle, Nors stepped slightly aside, falling half a step behind Bailuo, “The Seven Kings of Yatun are our ancestors, but for six hundred years, the things they did are hard to judge.”
“Not governing by miracle power but through manpower, sculpting out a great nation.”
“The dream was good, but in reality, it was quite cruel.”
Bailuo, “I don’t know why they did such things, what they were trying to attempt, what they were experimenting with.”
“But Yatun being able to stand for a full six hundred years from eight hundred years ago,” Bailuo, “ultimately, wasn’t it because of the protection of miracle power!”
“This…”
Nors, “Then how could it collapse?”
“Because there was a serious problem with the governance of the Seven Kings of Yatun at a certain point.”
“And that is the emergence of a Master of Miracles within the Kingdom of Yatun,” Bailuo looked at Nors, “What to do?”
The country birthed a miracle, as national leaders, do you use it, or not?
The Seven Kings made their choice, they chose not to use it.
To kill a Master of Miracles was taboo throughout the Miracle Mainland, so the Seven Kings did not do so, but chose to exile these Masters of Miracles.
“Exile?”
Nors’s brow furrowed deeply, he said, “These Masters of Miracles, they, they are…”
“All Yatun people.”
Bailuo said, “Today’s Iron Eagle Kingdom, of the seven Masters of Miracles, half are Yatun people.”
“This…”
The Kingdom of Yatun had developed for so many years, its ethnic groups, its population, had long spread throughout the southeastern coastal areas of the entire mainland.
To say there were tens of millions of people is no overstatement.
“Did the Seven Kings bring so many Yatun people to this land back then?”
“Heard it was about a hundred thousand people.”
In hundreds of years, from a hundred thousand people to tens of millions, with the blessing of miracles, plus enlightened politics, it really wasn’t hard.
“The God of War of Yatun was not the only miracle of the Kingdom of Yatun.”
“In fact, all Seven Kings of Yatun possessed miracle power,” Bailuo said, “I don’t know their identities, but I think the likelihood of the Miracle Person is greater.”
The Seven Kings once served the Ancestor of Yatun, and after the Ancestor fell, the Seven Kings did not die.
Because the Ancestor gave them the final order—to protect the royal bloodline, go to the New Continent.
Exactly what the Seven Kings were, Bailuo did not know.
But one thing was certain, they definitely would not be Miracle Creatures, once the master dies, the creature would perish quickly.
Nor could they possibly be Miracle Objects, people and objects, Bailuo could still tell the difference.
“Ultimately, the Ancestor is already dead, and even if the Seven Kings lived on, they must have paid a tremendous price.”
Just like if Bailuo perished, even if his elder sister could continue to live because of the mission he left behind.
But to his elder sister, the cost of living would be too great.
First, her power would drain away quickly.
And worse than the loss of power, was the fragmentation of the soul.
His elder sister would lose her senses, become like a walking corpse, she would be rejected by the whole world, unable to feel warmth and happiness ever again.
Not only that, she would miss Bailuo more and more, wanting to follow him in death, to rest eternally with him.
To live was worse than to die, that’s what this situation meant.
“This is also why, one by one, the Seven Kings of Yatun passed away,” Bailuo said, “Many of them did not die of illness or murder but chose to end their own lives.”
Among them was the God of War of Yatun.
The towering figure who with his own strength protected Yatun for its first three hundred years.
In the end, he committed suicide.
It has to be said, it was truly ironic.
“Three hundred years ago, the last of the Seven Kings could no longer bear the pain and chose eternal rest,” Bailuo said, “Since then, the Kingdom of Yatun was no longer a Miracle Kingdom. In the short ten years that followed, the power of the Yatun people was completely exhausted.”
It was also then that the Iron Eagle King made his appearance.
To say that the Iron Eagle King overthrew the Yatun people is actually incorrect.
The correct statement is, the Yatun people chose the Iron Eagle King and overthrew an old era, a dynasty that should have perished long ago but was still struggling to survive.
