Chapter 561: Giant era

The two Hercules joined hands and easily dragged the heavy stone golem away.
The stone golem seemed to be aware of his bad situation, struggling to grasp the carpet with both hands, but the smooth floor had no place to borrow, rumpling the rug in vain, and was eventually dragged to the side of the pit, and finally fought up by the frost giant I kicked it.
The stone golem plunged into the pit, smashing the companion who was still in a circle in the bottom of the pit, and countless gravel splashed out of the wellhead with the collision.
Qiao An probe glanced towards the bottom of the well. Two stone golems overlapped the street, almost filling the entire pit. From the broken body after the collision between the two sides, even if the "potting technique" exhausted the magic power, the two The stone golem returned to the surface and was unable to move.
After smoothing out the four Golem guards guarding the lobby on the second floor, Joan and his companions sat on the carpet to rest, and by the way, they drank water to eat dry food to supplement their physical fitness.
After resting for half an hour, everyone recovered their energy and continued to explore towards the third floor.
On the corner of the hall on the second floor, there is a "wind-operated ladder". Joan first performed a "detection trap", and carried out a reconnaissance up and down the magic elevator to make sure there was no trap before going in.
Clark, Shrek and Casio also followed the elevator and pulled a silver lever.
The "wind element" bound in the ladder well was awakened, and a tornado was struggling to generate a strong upward airflow, which pushed the ladder to move up slowly, and reached the third floor within a minute. The door was automatically opened and the door was opened. It is a wide corridor spiraling upwards, and I don't know where it leads.
Joan didn't rush to leave the "wind-operated ladder" first, and wanted to wait for the staircase to continue to rise, it is best to send them directly to the top of the castle, so that you can save a lot of trouble.
After waiting for two minutes, the "Wind Elevator" finally started again, but unfortunately it did not continue to rise, but fell back to the second floor, and the lever was automatically reset, which shows that the "Wind Elevator" can only send them to the third floor.
Joan and his party were so disappointed that they had to pull down the lever again, return to the third floor, leave the staircase, and walk into the corridor.
The corridor is hollow and empty, with beautifully-painted oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides, mostly landscape sketches, and occasionally scenes of armed giants fighting with dragons. Joan guesses that these oil paintings are the epitome of the true history of the last years of the "Giant Age".
During that period, the giants' long-standing rule over the world of Vales came to an end.
The main cause of the decline of giant civilization is undoubtedly infighting. In this society that advocates the "caste system (sequence system)", class solidification is very serious. The social status of a giant depends mainly on what family he was born in and what The caste, the rogue of the high caste is also more noble than the war hero of the low caste.
Such a system will undoubtedly arouse the strong dissatisfaction of the vast majority of low-caste giants. The long-term dissatisfaction of dissatisfaction will eventually explode violently at the end of the giant era, causing widespread rebellion and conflict.
Strangely, this revolutionary movement, which advocates against the caste system and advocates that people should determine their social status based on their virtues and abilities, not their lineage, provides radical scholars and leaders who lead the rebellion with theoretical weapons. Most of them are not of low caste origin, but more of high caste noble juniors born with golden spoons. For example, many are cloud giants and storm giants. The majority of revolutionaries inspired and led by them are mostly of low caste origin.
The revolutionary leaders collectively betrayed their own class and family and spared no effort in bloodshed and sacrifice to engage in a social movement aimed at breaking their own privileges. This is really an incomprehensible thing. Joanne can only think that there is really no personal gain or loss in this world. 1. An idealist dedicated to the pursuit of justice and freedom.
Although this riotous rebellion ended in suppression by the "Giant King's Court", these pioneers were well-deserved great men.
The blood they shed was not in vain. The giant society of Vales today still nominally adheres to the old tradition of the caste system. In fact, in addition to the old antiques, most of the open-minded giant young people have long believed in this system.
For example, Clark, as a frost giant, he never feels cheaper than fire giants, cloud giants, and storm giants, nor does he feel that he is born more noble than stone giants or hill giants.
According to the traditional ordinal concept of giants, ogres like Shrek belong to the class of
untouchable untouchables
.
Decent people
even look at the ogres and feel that their eyes are dirty, but Clark is still equal to Shrek. Communicate and treat each other as your "iron buddies", otherwise they won't pull Shrek to help you find treasure.
The revolutionary movement that called for breaking the caste system disrupted the old order while popularizing new ideas, shaken the originally conservative, backward but solid social foundation, and objectively destroyed the cohesion and fighting power of the giant ethnic group.
At this juncture in which the mansion is going to fall, the disaster is not alone. The dragon family descends on the world of Vales and challenges the giant's dominance far more fiercely than internal strife.
The war between the giant and the dragon lasted for thousands of years, and eventually ended in a complete defeat of the giant family. The crown fell to the ground but no one picked it up.
By the end of the war, the Giants were forced to sign a humiliating armistice agreement, which in fact amounted to surrender. The "Giant King's Court" also declined from the world's power center to a small court on the Genting Highlands of the New World. By giving up the world's ruling power to the proud dragon, the world of Vales entered the "Dragon Age".
The mural in the cloister on the third floor of the castle depicts the scene of the war between the giant and the dragon.
Judging from the content presented in the picture, the owner of the castle, Cloud Giant Archmage Vavrunier, has witnessed the end of this quaint war. As for whether he himself participated in the war against the dragon, Joan No way to know.
Perhaps because he was too focused on these magnificent paintings, Joan unknowingly fell behind his companions, until Clark had reached the end of the corridor before he recovered and accelerated his pace.
The end of the corridor leads to a hall, the door of the hall is unexpectedly open, and the furnishings in the hall can be seen from afar. A long row of weapon racks were placed against the wall. Knives, guns, swords, axes and crossbows were all available, all of which were surprisingly large in size. I thought it was specially designed for Cloud Giants.
On the side of the hall, there is a ring surrounded by columns and ropes. On the table next to it are boxing gloves and fencing protective gear. There is also a wooden skin target for practicing boxing, which depicts the direction of human organs and blood vessels. Tall mud puppets, and fitness equipment resembling "dumbbells".
Obviously, this hall is the gymnasium of Cloud Giant's Castle.
