Chapter 887 The Story of Six Heroes
Cetalli's voice preceded her arrival, and by the time she finished speaking, she had already entered the room.
Today, Setrali is different from before; she has changed into her usual shamanic attire and looks quite professional.
Hearing Sitella's words, Mavica laughed and said, "No way, we were just talking about ancient names."
“Ancient name? Why are we talking about this?” Sitrali was a little confused, but she still walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down next to Saffir. “You should ask me about this.”
Saffir waved his hand: "I'm just a little curious. Didn't I tell you yesterday that I'm interested in some of Nata's ancient names and traditions? I just happened to hear about the story of the Six Heroes, so I wanted to ask about it."
"Since you weren't here, I asked Lord Vulcan. He just said you inherited memories? Does that mean you can know almost everything from the past?"
Cecilia coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed: "You probably overestimate the power of remembering ancient names, Teacher Su Jin."
Ukunboku does represent memory, but it's more about commemoration and remembering, based on my own experience, not Nata's.
Saphir nodded in understanding, just like Ying and the forest of Sumeru.
Based on her own memories, Ying serves as a witness to Teyvat, recording everything that happens there, but she can only remember things related to herself.
But the forest's memory is deeply etched and unforgettable. Just as Lannaro said, the forest will remember everything. Even if the World Tree is modified and everyone forgets the Great Tree King, Lannaro and the forest will still react to her.
Because the forest remembers everything.
The ancient name of Sitrali is not meant to help Nata remember everything, but Mavka can inherit it from the sacred fire. Moreover, the era of the Six Heroes is the same era she lived in.
Mavica's smile faded slightly, and her tone became a little serious: "The Six Heroes are my former comrades-in-arms. I know them better than anyone else."
"That's wonderful! Please, Lord Vulcan, give me a detailed explanation so I can find some inspiration!" Sapphire clasped his hands together, looking like he was humbly seeking guidance.
Cetalli hesitated, looking at Mavica: "Is this...appropriate?"
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it, and it’s not exactly a secret. Since Teacher Su Jin wants to hear it, I’ll tell you in detail.” Mavica slowly shook her head, a look of reminiscence in her eyes. “To talk about the Six Heroes, we have to start with the Nata tribes. Actually, Nata didn’t just have six tribes; in earlier times, there were others…”
The story of the six heroes takes place five hundred years ago. Like other countries, Nata also encountered a dark calamity at that time. However, the six heroes were not the only ones who fought against the dark calamity. The sacrifices were enormous, and it could be said that there were cries of sorrow everywhere.
Back then, the deity of Nata was called Mavica, who is now the fire goddess Mavica. She cast herself into the sacred fire and traveled five hundred years into the future to completely resolve the problem of the abyss that was corrupting Nata.
Being able to place bets on the future does not mean that the present can be ignored. Therefore, fighting against the abyss is still urgent. However, the Nata at that time were not united. The tribes had conflicts and could not work together when facing the dark calamity. They were a disorganized mess, and destruction was inevitable.
So, Mavica found the man, a man named Tenoch.
Tenoch comes from the seventh tribe, Trochztok, which is different from the six major tribes. That tribe once followed the Lone King of Ember, Ochikan.
Like the other six tribes, Tenochtstok also has dragons that coexist with them, namely the long-lost wind dragons of Nata.
However, because they followed the wrong person, they faced exile and purge after Ochikan was overthrown by the fire god Kumukul. (Whether Kumukul is the second fire god is questionable, but he is indeed the fire god, and he most likely came from the Flower Feather Society. The description of the second fire god in the text is more consistent with the evaluation of the red-eyed boy of the Flower Feather Society.)
After Chaska is killed by the Lord of the Source Flame, Kumukul's Easter egg voice line will be triggered: "Rest in peace, this is the destiny of those who throw themselves into battle."
In fact, these people were not originally called Tenochtstoks. After they were purged, some of them stayed in Tenochtstoks and became known as Tenochtstoks. In addition, a group of people left Nata.
These people were known to outsiders as the Munatas. Eventually, they settled in Mond, far from the Munatas, and became playthings of the Lawrence family, the rulers of Mond at the time, or slaves in the gladiatorial arena.
Among them was also an outstanding figure, Vanessa, who later overthrew the rule of the Lawrence family and established the Knights of Favonius, the first Grand Master of the Order.
The tribes of the wind dragon race established a knightly order in the kingdom of the wind god that has been passed down to this day. Isn't this a kind of returning to one's roots?
But we've strayed from the topic. Let's get back to Tenoch. He was an exiled Tenochtstok. Although the wind tribes were not well-liked, he still managed to travel around Nata with his outstanding personal charm, making a large number of like-minded friends, including the original six heroes and the fire god Mavka of that generation.
Perhaps it was a cruel joke of fate, but at that very moment, a dark calamity erupted. Countless abyssal monsters surged forth from the direction of the Echoing Child, launching a massive attack on Nata. Meanwhile, in Tenochtstok, Rhinedoth's most prized creation appeared: the Corrosion-class undead monster, Barkhunawa.
Ironically, while the Nata tribes were still arguing about how to contribute to the fight against the Abyss, the Tenochtstoks were the first to unite and launch a counterattack against the Abyss monsters.
Unfortunately, the monsters they faced were creations of a higher level than Abedo, a Cretaceous-level being, let alone a Humus-level being like Dulin.
Rhine-Dörgården's Abyss Combat Power Chart:
Melting-level: Beast Hound, Golden King Beast.
Humus class: Dulin, Erinus.
Cretaceous class: Abedo, Hier.
Erosion level: Bakhunawa.
Bakhunawa is incredibly powerful, and its immortality renders all methods used against it meaningless.
As a result, almost all the tribesmen who remained in their territory perished in battle, until Tenoch, who was traveling abroad, returned to Tenochtok with six heroes.
These six heroes are naturally the six warriors who saved Nata from his predicament. They are:
Tupac of [Unity·Womoyan], whose ancient name was inherited by Marani of the Streams, was the first hero, Unuku.
Songgata of 【Blessing Baleka】, whose ancient name was inherited by the son of Echo, Shinonin, and whose first hero was Ikui.
Bukina of 【Return to Fire·Malib】, whose ancient name was inherited by Kinich of the Suspended Wood People, and whose first hero was Panyuki.
[Power of Uwezo] Wanjeru, whose ancient name was inherited by Ianshan of the Land of Wol, was the first hero of the first generation, Ahob.
The Sanhaj of 【Dedication·Bifid】, whose ancient name inheritor is unknown, was first hero Maguhan.
[Beyond·Wuka] Mennilik, whose ancient name inheritor is unknown, was the first hero, Lian Ge.
It is worth mentioning that Bujina of the Suspended Wood Man and Menelik of the Flower Feather Society, their dragon companions, are still alive today.
Bujina's dragon companion was the Mountain King Kangamato, who slept beneath the Suspended Wood People. Due to his long-term battle with the Abyss, Kangamato inevitably suffered from the corruption of the Abyss's energy, and then became violent and unpredictable. Bujina was killed by him.
Kangamato, who killed Burkina, realized what he had done and never left his territory again, limiting his activities by sleeping all day.
Despite its absurdity, the people of Xuanmu all understood that it was not Kangamato's fault, so this long-lived and robust fat Niye Dragon still held a very high position among them.
"Speaking of which, Burkina and I were childhood friends," Mavica said after recounting this part of the story.
These words drew frequent glances from Saffir; this was definitely a childhood sweetheart story! If this were a female-oriented novel, it would easily fill hundreds or thousands of chapters!
Sensing the sudden, intense, and gossipy gazes of Saffir and Sitrali, Mavica stiffened and immediately began to recount the story of Menelik.
The dragon companion of the Flower Feather Society, Menelik, is called Ngub. This name may be a little unfamiliar, but many people know its other title: Golden Flame Pterodactyl Tyrant.
It bears the curse of the dragon race, the blessing of the Flame Lord, which gives it great power, but also makes it irritable and difficult to control.
Menelik had promised it that he would take it to the Holy Mountain to deal with the Blessing of the Flame Lord after the war ended, but unfortunately, Menelik broke his promise.
He fell on the brutal battlefield, losing his life and leaving behind Ngubu, who was severely wounded at the time, never to return to its side.
The Flame Lord's Blessing still exists within Ngubu's body, but it can never be removed.
Heroes' achievements are worthy of praise and celebration, but their endings are often not so pleasant.
Carrying a heavy burden inevitably comes at a price, and life is precisely the highest gamble that those who have nothing can throw.
Then, Mavica spoke of Sanhaj, the Smoke Lord warrior who inherited the ancient name Bidi.
Actually, she had wanted to talk to Saffir about Sanghaj for a long time. According to the information that Mavica had obtained, Saffir was a person with high attainments in the realm of the soul, and perhaps he could find the successor of Pidi.
Saffir was also very interested in Sanhaj and listened attentively.
This hero did not have a good reputation during his lifetime. He was known for his cunning and was called the treacherous Sanghaj.
Even the cunning and fickle Sanghaja was not born complete. He was born mute and could not speak. At that time, the priest shaman of the Lord of Smoke asserted that his soul was incomplete and that a part of it had been left in the Kingdom of the Night God.
He must return to the Kingdom of Night God alone on his birthday to retrieve the other part of his soul in order to regain his wholeness and even be reborn.
Given such difficult conditions, it would have been impossible for Sanghaj to accomplish this on his own. Fortunately, he encountered the most elusive and enigmatic figure in the world, the Dark Dragon Hampa.
Mahanba is wise and intelligent, and holds a high position in the Lord of Smoke, but because of his arrogant nature, he has never had any companions. There are quite a few dragons like him, and no one takes them seriously.
However, Mahamba became partners with the mute Sanghaj and later helped him travel to the Kingdom of Night to find the lost soul.
There, he saw the past and the future, witnessing everything from Shibarak's oath to Kumukul's resistance, and even the large-scale invasion of the Abyss.
The sight of a dark calamity spreading outwards jolted him awake from his nightmare. Sanghaj, who had been mute since birth, uttered his first words: "Stop!"
From then on, the mute Sanghaj learned to speak, and he also became a priest of the Lord of Smoke.
Because he had already foreseen the future, he planned ahead and hoped to make preparations in advance. However, people thought he was worrying unnecessarily and did not take his words seriously.
Over time, Sanghaj began to use extreme methods to remind people.
He began to lie, to deceive, and to write books using all sorts of words to remind people and to distort history.
The sole purpose was to convince people that the calamity of the abyss was not far off.
The lies caused panic, raised people's vigilance, and damaged Sanhaj's reputation, but he didn't care. He continued to wait, waiting for the man named Tenoch to find him and embark on the great journey together.
“The missing soul is not a punishment from the God of Night, but a favor…” Mavica concluded.
Saffir frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "But he didn't gain anything from it. Instead, he ruined his reputation. If you ask me, this is still a punishment. After all, geniuses are not understood."
“I can relate to that. Those kids are all afraid of me. Am I that scary?” Sitralli seemed to have found a kindred spirit and said indignantly.
Saffir simply chuckled and shook her head, then said, "I think I know who Pidi is."
“Oh?” Mavica raised an eyebrow; she hadn’t expected Saphir to identify a suspect so quickly.
Saffir nodded slightly: "Isn't there someone who is very similar to the current Lord of Smoke? Both are reclusive and both have a missing soul."
Upon hearing this, Citrali raised her head abruptly and stared intently at Saffir, as if trying to see right through her: "What you're saying?"
She already had the answer in her heart, but the child had always acted very ordinaryly, not at all like a hero.
But considering that the other party had not yet awakened his ancient name, he quickly felt relieved. Wasn't Hassanjai just an ordinary person at first?
Saffir didn't keep her in suspense, but continued along with Cetalli's words: "That day, I saw a young man in the Streamers. He looked kind, so I asked him to be my guide."
"The young man is a nice guy, but he's a bit too..." She thought for a moment, then found a suitable word, "...he cares too much about his family, he's always talking about 'Grandma' this and 'Grandma' that, and Grandma always says this and that..."
This made Mavica laugh out loud, her mischievous gaze landing on Sitrally.
Sitella blushed instantly from her neck to her ears, overwhelmed by an unparalleled sense of shame, wishing she could disappear into the ground.
Therefore, it is true that a young girl's blush is more important than anything else.
Sitella said nothing, yet she said everything.
Saffir looked at her calmly, understanding perfectly.
