Chapter 588: The Truth of the Dragon's Soul (Thanks to the Alliance Leader "Fu He Huan" for his support)
Ling Mo's thoughts suddenly drifted to the Golden Fortress, and he instantly understood what it had done more thoroughly. However, with his years of experience in dying in front of the Golden Fortress, and with his familiarity with the other party, he vaguely felt in his heart that the Golden Fortress was not such a vicious creature that did things.
Those cyborgs should not have been actively designed by the Golden Fortress, but due to some unknown reasons, they were automatically fused and born, and the Golden Fortress should not have carried out any degree of active promotion in this process, it should have acquiesced to the occurrence of this situation, acquiesced in the gradual development and growth of the cyborgs, and even connived at the oppression of the membrons of the membronized semblances.
Although the final result is the same, the cyborg life gradually grows, and the "similarity" between it and the natural creatures becomes stronger and stronger, and after reaching a certain limit, it will inevitably force the camp of natural creatures to fight with all their might to resist those unspeakable existences. However, from Ling Mo's point of view, the significance of passively conniving at the occurrence of an incident is completely different from actively promoting the development of an incident.
The former represents that the Golden Fortress is still purely sane, that it is still operating under its own rules, and that it is silently fulfilling its unknown great mission, while the latter represents that the Golden Fortress itself has undergone some kind of "disease", and in order to achieve its own goals, it has begun to do whatever it takes to break its own rules.
This is an extremely dangerous signal, breaking the rules is the same as cuckolding one's husband/wife, only zero and countless times. As long as the bottom limit is broken once, even if it is only the tiniest rule once, it is a logical thing to break through those bottom rules later, after all, the bottom line of adult creatures is like a hairline, which will always disappear.
Fortunately, from the information available so far, this worst-case scenario has not yet happened.
Just when Ling Mo was full of thoughts, seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the Great Elder spoke out with some confusion:
"Dear Watchman, are you satisfied with my answer, and do you have any other questions?"
Ling Mo came back to his senses suddenly, he stared at the Great Elder's eyes tightly, and asked with a little anger:
"Before I came to you, I happened to be on the road when I came across a swarm of mechanical grasshoppers that formed a mutually beneficial symbiosis with the wonderful frog flower. I, a hurried passer-by, can find them in the Clam Ming Mountain Range, as the Great Elder of the Frog Clan, have you noticed them for so many years? Or do you not know how dangerous this kind of cyborg life that is integrated into the natural ecological circle is?
Why didn't you do anything?"
"Nothing was done......"
The Great Elder smiled bitterly and said:
"How could I not have known the seriousness of this kind of thing? How could I have done nothing? I did at least two things.
The first is to stipulate that the frog tribe who establish contact with those mechanical bugs without authorization will be punished with death, and the second is to set up a special department and set up a corresponding unit to deal with this matter; unfortunately, the results of both aspects are very small.
First of all, in terms of punishment, Lord Watcher, you have lived in human society, you should know that when the level of punishment reaches a certain level, the deterrent to criminals is very small, right?"
Ling Mo nodded, signaling that he still understood a little bit about such a simple criminal psychology:
"I understand this, just like many people with holes in their brains, they think that resuming corporal punishment such as Ling Chi can deter human traffickers, drug dealers, and cult members, and reduce the occurrence of abduction, trafficking, drug trafficking, and blood sacrifices, which is a very stupid idea.
When the punishment is high to a certain extent, criminals will no longer think about the punishment itself, but will focus their energy on how not to be discovered and caught. ”
The Great Elder nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"I'm in my last years, and I don't have any combat power at all, so I can only rely on my army to manage those things. The lads in the army grew up eating all kinds of bugs, and they did not have any ill feelings towards bugs, nor did they experience the horror of an unspeakable existence. To them, it's more like a distant legend, with no sense of reality, and when they want to kill frogs, they are living, crying, howling, begging for mercy.
The army received my task to kill those who had an affair with the mechanical bugs, but they soon discovered that those mechanical bugs could greatly help the frog people survive, and those who cooperated with the mechanical bugs did not commit any moral wrongs, so how could they be ruthless and kill their fellow creatures?"
The bitterness on the Great Elder's face was not disguised at all, it looked down at its weak body, lifted its glasses, and said with full helplessness:
"Lord Watcher, you should understand, right? The army is not an internal thing at all, even if it is an invincible army in foreign wars, once it turns its head and aims its sword at its own people without the support of a very convincing justifiable reason, its combat effectiveness will plummet, and it is not uncommon for it to fall apart in a short time!
No matter how good my orders are, the effectiveness of the army will be greatly reduced when they are actually implemented. As a result, there are a lot of fish left behind in the mountain range, plus several cults in your human society, such as the Split Sky Sect, the Obedience Sect, and the Demon Dao Scholars Association, to help those frog clans who have violated the ban to hide from the sky and the sea, so as to achieve their ulterior purposes. The situation has developed so far, even I can't tell how many cyborg lifeforms are hidden in this Clam Song Mountain Range. ”
“......”
What the Great Elder said is very reasonable, not every creature is like himself, and the power belongs to himself, and he can always act according to his own will. Ling Mo sighed lowly, planning to go to the Molten City in person in a few days, and ask it clearly in front of the Golden Fortress, so he didn't dwell on this issue more, but continued to ask:
"You mentioned several organizations such as the Void Splitting Sect, the Obedience Sect, and the Demon Dao Scholars Association, all of which are in the Clam Song Mountains, and what purpose are they trying to help those cyborg lifeforms?"
"Who knows! Probably these cults have been inspired by their gods, telling them that the end of the world is coming, seize the time to struggle, and use all means to save themselves, right?"
The Great Elder's voice clearly revealed a wave of resentment, and it seemed that it had a very bad opinion of these cults, which was surprisingly consistent with Ling Mo. When it said this, it pushed its glasses, looked Ling Mo up and down, and suddenly said:
"Lord Watcher, I didn't notice a few decades ago that the "Chosen Children" adventure group you founded back then was really full of talents and cults!
Needless to say, your ex-girlfriend obeys the sect's cult second-in-command;
That red-haired female law saint... Oh, now it's the Dharma God, the ultimate cult warrior of the Sky Splitting Sect;
The spearman of the elven clan is the princess of the elves, right? For those of us who are older, the whole elven clan is a cult, and she is naturally no exception;
The chief researcher of the Wizard Scholars Association shouts every day to create the perfect doll "Alice", and for this reason he dares to do anything, and can break through any bottom line, a proper cultist;
That perverted druid, he didn't join any cults, but I think he himself is the biggest cult! No, it's more than a cult! He can develop a simple love with any race, and he has friends of more than 3,700 races...... Phew!
Finally, there is the good girl in charge of logistics in your regiment, she is very well-behaved and not rebellious at all, but she doesn't seem to have a "self" at all, right? What is the heart of most people around her, her heart will change into the same shape, and five of you are the leaders of the world's five major cults, and she will naturally be influenced into a cult mentality! (Note (1))
Lord Watchman, I have something unpleasant to say, it is really not easy for you to be the captain of the regiment, and it is really difficult for a normal person with six backbone cult members to persist for you for so many years! But on the bright side, you have persisted for 43 years with such a group of strange people before being betrayed, which is enough to show that your personal charm as a captain is very strong. ”
The Great Elder's previous snatch of his adventure group made the green tendons on Ling Mo's forehead bloom, the key was that he couldn't find anything to refute, so he could only hold his breath secretly, it was really hurt on top of injury. Fortunately, the last sentence made him soften his cheeks a little, otherwise he would have been eager to send it back to the West on the spot.
The Great Elder didn't notice Ling Mo's mood changes, mainly because Ling Mo's ability to control his muscles was too strong, and his eternal poker face really couldn't reveal any emotions, so he suddenly asked:
"Lord Watchman, I'm not the trouble-making frog, I'm just curious, your team has almost all the cultists and troubled children in the human world, and they are all very key figures, shouldn't it be a coincidence?
Do you think it is possible that the gods believed in these cults have given these cultists some oracles or revelations, saying that you are the chosen son of the mainland and the heroes chosen by God, so that they can approach you with a purpose and establish a deep relationship with you, so that they can trick you at a critical moment?
Judging from my experience of tens of thousands of years of life, this matter is really weird, it is difficult to explain by accident and coincidence, and it is more like a man-made and deliberately arranged script.
Don't you think so? Hiahiahia~~"
Ling Mo was slightly stunned in his heart, he had indeed considered this direction for people, but he had not considered the gods that those sects believed in, which was quite a reliable thinking angle. He secretly cursed in his heart that he was confused, he had been to the Noahfa continent for decades, and he still couldn't get out of the thinking mode of the original world:
No way, in the original world, the gods were all bluffing things, and they were not used properly, but in this world, the gods of many sects are some kind of entities that actually exist in the elemental plane or extraterritorial space, and they do have some strange powers, which can have an inexplicable impact on the real world.
Thinking like this in his heart, but not showing the slightest hint on his face, Ling Mo didn't want to follow the rhythm of the Great Elder, so he didn't answer this question directly, but asked:
"My business has nothing to do with you at the moment.
I still have one last question I would like to ask you about, this question is very simple for you, and I will go straight to it when I am done.
What the hell is the "Dragon's Soul" that Deathwing Nesario left in the main peak of your Frog Roaring Mountains? Do you have any details about it? It would be great if you could tell me about the weakness of that thing, or its influential features. ”
Hearing that it was this question, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief, he flipped through it under his desk, and took out a stack of thick documents (this word is pronounced da, I know that many friends mispronounce it, don't thank me), there are seven or eight hundred pages of it. After Ling Mo took it, he roughly flipped through it, and it was all the data of the "Dragon Soul", which could be said to be very detailed with pictures and texts. Ling Mo originally wanted to praise him, but he happened to turn to the page of "Attribute Description", and the content on it made him suddenly ask in surprise:
"What?!This dragon soul is a half-machine, half-elemental creature?!"
The Great Elder smiled:
"Indeed, when many people hear about any kind of soul, they will take it for granted that this dragon soul is a spirit creature, probably a dragon soul or something. But our frogs were bullied by the dragons...... I have been neighbors with the dragon clan for so many years, and I don't want to counterattack all the time, so I naturally have a more thorough understanding of this dragon soul.
Our first warrior of the frog clan, "Koga Ninja Frog", once risked his life to investigate at close range, and also fought with the soul of the dragon, and finally figured out the true face of the "soul of the dragon"!
It was actually a metal body infused with a lot of ancient dragon souls as the core power!
During the years that Nesario was the dragon king, he used secret and cruel means to persecute the leaders of various branches of the dragon clan, the bronze dragon king Nozdorm, the red dragon king Alexstasa, the green dragon king Isera, and the blue dragon king Malygos were all killed by him, and the soul was extracted, transformed into a pure origin element, and injected into the body of that metal dragon! Affected by the huge elemental influence, the dragon soul has both mechanical and elemental attributes, and is a very powerful enemy!
I've heard before that Nesario's ultimate plan is to abandon his black dragon body, which has reached the eighth level, and inject his soul into the dragon's soul while retaining his intact mind, and forcibly promote himself to the level of the regional lord by gathering the five origin powers of the dragon clan. It's a pity that before he could figure out a way to keep his mind, he was beaten to death by you, and even the corpse was made into a feast, and you and the Skeleton King Leorik ate it..."
Ling Mo: "......"
You describe it like that, how do you make me feel like a big villain!
Slightly speechless, Ling Mo quickly tightened his brows:
If the essence of "Dragon Soul" is like this, it is really a bit difficult to do!
