225 Riel Melon
BGM: Luo Tianyi, where did you put my house key?
Either the feeling was too ambiguous to tell, or the attention wasn't on them at all.
In short, Magpie only realized at this moment that he had overlooked many things.
If "human" is not simply defined by the species of "human", then what should be used to distinguish "human" from "non-human"?
Magpie has a simple classification of the people here.
A true human being has a clear sense of self, is able to detach the meaning of his existence from faith and divinity, and fully understands and recognizes the boundaries and distinctions of being in external objects.
- This is what can be called a person.
Originally, it was thought that the clans below were just similar to their old enemies, and they belonged to the products of domestication.
Now it seems... Maybe it's not that simple.
In the original imagination of the magpie, there would be two races of gods with different beliefs in the same divine country, which was undoubtedly the work of the "permanent inhabitants of the flesh".
In order to conduct experiments with humans in order to verify some kind of guess of their own. Or simply in this way, it stimulates the inner mechanical and rigid believers to produce more vivid beliefs.
At this moment.
Looking down from the magpie's point of view, you can see many burning bonfires, simple tents and stone houses.
Most of these brown-skinned men and women are strong, dressed in simple knitted fabrics and leather coats, and do their own work, and children and the elderly are rare, and they all seem very quiet.
The hustle and bustle of the city that magpies had seen before in their old enemy were two extremes altogether.
But that's not the point.
They should all know that the gods they believe in are no longer there, and they should understand their own ends, why don't they have any negative emotions?
"Ranran" is dead, and with their cognition and ability, it is impossible to connect with the ontology of the Perpetual
This is particularly incredible, even the most ordinary people at the bottom, since they live in the kingdom of God, they will have a vague connection with the gods, and it is impossible to know nothing about the latter.
"Huh. . . β
Magpie is a little curious about the unknown.
These brown-skinned guys are undoubtedly believers in God. This is discernible from their superficial flow of consciousness.
"Ancestral God", "Ancestral Spirit", "Spirit", "Spirit Monument".
Such similar words frequently appear in their minds, and it can be seen that each of them is very religious, but this piety is very gentle, and it is not blindly fanatical.
It's like a young child's momentary affection in the face of his elders, and a young person's respect for his ancestors.
A certain kind of heavy precipitation of emotion, accumulated in their flesh and blood, gentle and solemn, completely integrated into every detail of life, peaceful, not radical.
Even the emotional orientation of such an extremely hated god as Magpie is difficult to apply to them, and it is difficult to arouse a sense of disgust.
The magpie abandoned the original sweeping plan and slowly descended with the night wind.
Hmm Then again, why are they still here?
When the gathering place of the technological civilization was attacked by himself, the Perpetual directly manipulated the body to rush to the rescue - if you guessed correctly, the plant beast whose breath was very close to these brown-skinned clans was their god.
So why weren't they transferred?
Or in other words, why should the sustainers go to the near and the far? It's really unreasonable.
"Hello, I think I might need to delay you a little longer. β
Magpie put on a gentle smile and reached out to pat the back of a strong man's shoulder.
El Melon, a strong man with dark brown skin, was in a hurry, and judging by the fine beads of sweat all over his body, there must be something urgent.
"What for!"
The irascible strong man then turned around, his tone full of impatience.
Oh, great ancestral spirits, if anyone needs help, can you not find me? Forehead...
The thick man stayed in place for two seconds, unable to regain his senses.
The outfit and appearance of the person in front of him were too different from any existence he had ever seen.
Thin white clothes. Isn't he cold?
And with this white skin, how did he survive in the wasteland? You know, even those who call themselves "civilized" would not be so pampered.
And "civilized people" will never appear again ... Wait a minute!
I'm like... Where have you seen it?
"God. God.. God!"
βγγ Kami-sama!!"
Riel subconsciously wanted to kneel, but his body was inexplicably unable to exert his strength, so he could only stand upright, looking a little strange.
Seeing his still stunned face, Magpie raised his eyebrows in some surprise.
From this person named "Riel", Magpie did not feel any malice from beginning to end, at most to the point of impatience.
In addition, judging from his reaction to seeing himself, it was obvious that he was a survivor of the previous war.
Seeing Yourself and Confronting the True "Gods"
There is no fear, just worry about one's own "faux pas".
In addition, from the stiff facial muscles on his face, it can be seen that he is very surprised now, it is almost like a daytime.
Other than that.. And a bit of a surprise.
Hey, what the hell do you think of me?
A helpless smile appeared on the magpie's face, and he had a feeling that it was difficult for him to communicate with such a heartless guy.
Riel barely suppressed his excitement and used his eyes to convey adoration and admiration to the magpie.
γγ It's like a wisdom. Ahem, naΓ―ve child.
"I asked, you answered, understood?"
Instead of making a solemn and serious image that a god should have, Magpie smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
This guy has to be two meters long.
Magpie was very glad that he was suspended in mid-air at this time.
Riel Melon nodded desperately.
The next moment, he felt relaxed and able to move again, and then smiled happily and moved his hands and feet a little.
The people in the surrounding markets didn't seem to notice the anomaly here, and they hurried on their own, and even if they got closer, they would unconsciously take a detour.
"God-sama, why are you here?
"Huh?" a nasal voice interrupted him.
"Uh... Riel raised his big hand and scratched the back of his head, closing his mouth in some embarrassment.
"Very well, tell me, what exactly is the existence you believe in?"
"Great Ancestral Spirit!"
The deep voice was full of excitement, that kind of expression and attitude full of pride, as if a primary school student had said his life ideals.
Yes, it is an "ideal" and not a "god", and the emotional element between the two is very different.
Magpie's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Riel Melon with a strange smile on his face.
"Who is the ancestral spirit?"
"Ancestral spirits are ancestral spirits!"
γγ Why does this guy look more and more like a retarded person?
How did he live to be this big?
"I mean, what kind of existence are your ancestral spirits? Can you describe it to me?"
βγγγγ Riel stood straight with his hands clasped to his pants and his head held high. He frowned and pondered for a long time.
βγγ Description?"
"Well, sorry sorry, you won, I should have said it in words you can understand. β
Magpie made a gesture of surrender, then took out a pen and paper from his bag and handed it to him.
"Draw it. β
