Chapter 295: Archaeology Ruined a Life

"The crocodile-toothed chief's flail? Isn't this just a legend? "Red Ridge Mountain is the birthplace of the crocodile-toothed patriarch, so it is natural that there are legends about the crocodile patriarch among the jackals here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, most of these legends are extremely absurd, so even a stupid gnoll would not believe this kind of thing that is made up at first glance, but to the surprise of Jule and Graf, the coyote demigod actually gave them such a task, and in connection with the cunning and sanity of the coyote demigod, an unreliable guess suddenly flashed in Yule's heart: "Could it be—"

"It's definitely not what you think, the original intention of the coyote demigod to collect these old antiques is not because there is any powerful power in it, but to re-record the history of the jackals, the coyote demigods and its old man said, the jackals want to stand up and become a powerful race, strength is important, but there are more important things besides strength." Seeing Yuller's expression, Banzai could already guess what was going on in the mind of the gnoll in front of him, and in fact, when it first heard about the content of this mission, what it thought in its heart was no different from what Yule had in mind.

"It's not just our generation that the gnolls want to become stronger, but all we can do is leave a history for future generations to pass on and inspire them to follow our path, which can be regarded as a good start for them! After all, we are not coyote demigods and can survive forever. Banzai saw that Jule and Graf still seemed to understand but did not understand, so he spoke in more detail.

"So while we're looking for ways to gain more power, are the coyote demigods already thinking about how to make the gnolls have their own culture as well?" Graf muttered in a low voice, unlike Banzai, it knew very well that the coyote demigod was Hogg, and Hogg was originally just an ordinary gnoll, but he got some strange powers, and gradually grew into today's powerful power, so Graf has always thought that there is only enough strength between himself and Hogg, but now it no longer thinks like this, after all, although Hogg's success has an element of chance, Hogg can indeed pay attention to some things that ordinary gnoll people will not notice.

"Okay, I think now that you have a rough idea of what the coyote demigod wants you to do, then I have a little personal insight about this archaeological mission, you may want to refer to it." Ban Tsai is obviously also a little worried about this pair of good friends, after all, compared to other jobs can simply fool the past, this archaeological work will definitely not be easy, and there can be no fraud in the slightest, so there are some things, Ban Tsai must first explain to Yule and Graf, this is also to prevent these two little from making a big mess.

It's just that Ban Tsai didn't know that when he was transforming Jule and Graf, Hogg had already done a lot of tricks on these two guys, so even if they wanted to mess around, under Hogg's watch, they didn't have the slightest chance.

"Since the coyote demigod wants to re-record the history of the jackals, but how to record it, there is still a little bit of exquisiteness, first of all, there is a difference in principle, that is, the history we record, is it mainly to remember the past, or to pass it on to the future?" In fact, after figuring out the deep meaning of this archaeological mission, Ban Tsai also had some thoughts about this mission, what is history? And why do we need to record the past that originally existed?

"If it is to remember the past, then it is best for us to completely restore the appearance of history to what it should be, and if it is to pass it on to the future, then it is necessary to have a certain degree of interpretation of history, in fact, I don't know what is the most appropriate, of course, the coyote demigod has not said anything about the principle in this regard, but in my opinion, no matter what happened in history, in the end, it is to be able to better guide the future gnolls how to choose their own path." Banzai continued his tirade, and Graf and Juhler wasted no time in pulling out their notebooks and began to record Banzai's remarks.

"Therefore, my view is that the true face of history is meaningless to us, of course, this does not mean that we can completely disrespect history and distort and beautify some wrong behaviors at will, because once this kind of behavior is known to future generations, then the history we have worked so hard to record cannot be trusted, but we can have a focused interpretation of the history we have recorded, and some things may not be suitable for future generations to know." At this point, Yule suddenly raised a paw to signal that Ban Tsai had some problems, so Ban Tsai paused for a moment and motioned for him to say his own problems.

What do you mean by what is not suitable for posterity to know? And how exactly should we do this? ”

"For example, we have the custom of eating humanoids and other humanoids, so we should downplay this when we are documenting, and treat this behavior as a savage habit of a few uncivilized gnolls, and in fact it is true that not all gnolls have the habit of cannibalism, so we are not lying, but we can give people a bad habit of cannibalism that only a few jackals have, can you understand the difference when I say this?" Obviously, although the gnolls of the Red Ridge Mountain clan did not say that they had any special hobbies for human flesh, they had more or less eaten the flesh of humans or other humanoid creatures.

"I think I kind of understand what you mean, that is, although we still need to record more truthfully when we record, after the record is completed, we can make some tendentious interpretations of these records according to our wishes, right?" Jules was so clever that he immediately understood what he was going to do.

"Yes, of course, this is just a suggestion from me, and it does not represent the idea of the coyote demigod, and in the end, the person who writes these histories can only be the coyote demigod and his old man." Banzai concludes with such a sentence, but it is clear to both Jules and Graf that the coyote demigods will not be involved in the work themselves, but will only review the records they submit at the end, and whether it is archaeological work or recording work, they must complete it themselves.
