Chapter 876: Good Man Rao
Thea saw Kara's look of remembrance and casually asked, "Have you lived in Kando?"
"Ah, I don't know if this Cando is the same city as the one I remember, but I've lived in Cando for four years. ”
Thea patted her shoulder to show comfort, I have to say that the Kryptonian people are really good at preserving cultural relics and monuments, Kando City is not a thousand-year-old ancient capital, it is a twenty-fifty-thousand-year-old ancient capital!
If memory serves, Kando City was taken away by Brainiac in a glass enclosure before Krypton's explosion, and is still asleep in one of his collections, ready to be retrieved if he has time.
Soon after, they converged with Batman and met a Kryptonian hunting party, these guys were still stuck in the tribal era, and the presence of the red sun made their bodies not much different from ordinary earthlings.
To talk to a group of primitive people about being time travelers from another planet is. Thea still knows the history of Krypton, but this age is too old, there are few written records, Rao is similar to a legend for later generations of Kryptonians, and it is a sign of erudition to know Rao and Kando at this point in time.
Thea's ability to make up nonsense is first-class, and she said that the three of them were tribal envoys beyond the two mountains, and this time she came to see the Rao patriarch.
The ordinary Kryptonite looked confused when he heard this, and the captain who took the lead was a little knowledgeable, and he really knew that there were a few tribes on the other side of the mountain and the sea that were not inferior to them. After a few simple inquiries, he found that Thea's Kryptonian accent was strange, and he thought that there was nothing wrong with the "outsiders", so he happily led a few people to meet the leader.
The primitive society was not very particular, and the three of them soon met Rao.
A middle-aged handsome uncle, but his hair is not silver and white in the future, but a little mottled, at this time he is not a god, just a wise and tired old man.
"Are you looking for me?" Rao raised his head and looked at the three of them, he was not an ordinary guard, even though the current situation of Krypton limited his vision, but a wise person has wisdom no matter where he is, he can still distinguish the three of them from the unusual.
Just looking at the temperament, it doesn't look like a hungry person, not to mention that the clothes of the three are also very different, Supergirl wears her own uniform and cape, Batman is also in black clothes, Thea dresses very casually, but it looks abnormal because of randomness.
"Who are you?" Rao's voice raised a few points, and the guards around him hurriedly ran over with spears in hand, ready to protect the beloved tribal leader.
Supergirl is dressed as a majestic person, in fact, she is an ordinary person here, Batman looks at the approaching guards around him, and is on guard.
Thea tried to sense it, the magic elements here on Krypton are really scarce to the extreme, no wonder it later developed into a technological civilization.
Although the number was scarce, but it was a little bit, and she raised her hand to raise several earthen walls, separating the four of them from the outside world.
"You're here to kill me?" said Rao, with no fear on his face.
If killing him would solve the problems on Earth, Thea would definitely kill him without saying a word. However, she found that Rao's vitality was very unstable, obviously it seemed to be able to be blown out in one breath, but in the next second, several vitality forces were replenished, which indicated that his pseudo-white light experiment had begun, but it was only rudimentary.
"You're doing a dangerous thing, you're taking the lives of ordinary people to replenish themselves. Thea pointed out the problem directly.
"No, I didn't use coercion, they were all voluntary, you look around, only I can lead the tribe to prosperity and strength, I didn't take the initiative to hurt anyone. ”
Listening to the shouts of the guards outside the wall, they fought hard, but unfortunately the earth wall was extremely strong with the blessing of magic. Rao realized his desperate situation, but he didn't have the fear of dying at all, all that was left between the words was unwillingness, obviously there was still a lot to do, but there was no time, he tried to impress a few people with words at the end.
"Don't you look like a bad guy?" asked Batman in a low voice, having been hiding for days for fear of being brainwashed, but now that he was in contact with Rao face-to-face, he immediately discovered the crux of the problem.
Thea smiled bitterly, "Of course he is not, he didn't lie, everything he said came from his heart, such a person who is dedicated to the public and has a noble character, I am afraid that only those sages of the earth can compare." ”
If you are not afraid of bad people doing bad things, you are afraid that good people will do bad things, and the destructive power of good people doing bad things is a hundred times greater than that of bad people.
"Let's not hurt him, destroy his device that connects his life force, and let him die. ”
Thea didn't want to kill such a good person with a huge moral character, so she immediately nodded and withdrew her magic.
A bunch of guards hurriedly guarded Rao's side, and the hunting captain who had led them before rushed up desperately.
"We don't mean anything, maybe we can talk. With a flick of his fingers, he flew the attack.
Rao realized that the guards were useless in Thea's presence, waved them all down, and led a few people into the room to talk in detail.
"Who taught you this method of apportioning life force?" she said straight to the point, asking the most important question.
"In my dreams, I was taught by a man covered in white light. Rao wasn't quite sure.
Thea looked at him suspiciously, and asked Krypton to come to Krypton? But it doesn't look like a lie, compared to the earthlings, nine out of ten sentences are fake, and Kryptonians are not born with the concept of lying.
The future Rao must have returned to this era, teaching his younger self to use the Life Force Collector, which is not hard to guess.
But how did this guy do it? Thea was a little confused. Like the old Golden Pioneer, it is impossible to meet the younger version of himself, the Heavenly Father knew that his wife was killed by Steppenwolf, and did not say that he would go back to the past to remind his younger self to pay attention to this matter, and there is a huge uncertainty in time.
The more you try to change the outcome, the more likely you are to make things worse.
"You have destroyed the tradition of Krypton's freedom, you are like a tyrant!" Kara didn't speak, but after feeling it carefully, she found that she didn't have any thoughts to follow this Lao, which further confirmed the fact that the Kryptonian gene had been tampered with, and she was very distressed, and finally couldn't help but scold.
"Krypton?" Rao looked confused, where are you talking about?
Kara was startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Thea, and the eldest lady also covered her face and looked speechless, what are you talking about Krypton with primitive people!
"Well, Krypton is 190,000 years later, your people named this planet, it doesn't matter, you don't have to be surprised, look at my hands. Thea finished a spell that erased Rao's memory for a few seconds.
Rao's face was a little confused, and Thea looked back at Kara, "Go on, he's your clan after all." ”
