Chapter 159: Savage Ants?
When the representatives of the Leafcutter Ant Nation, a faltering queen, walked into the conference room with the help of two mid-leaf cutter ants, all the representatives of the Ant Nation stood up, and the tentacles on their heads drooped slightly.
The leaf-cutting ants took the opportunity to immediately remove the excess ant silk mats, and then arranged the 12 ant silk mats that had been specially left behind in a circle in the middle of the conference room, which was used by the delegates at the meeting.
The leaf-cutter ant queen frequently nodded her tentacles to the delegates around her, and while being supported, she was the first to lie on the mat.
The protagonist learns from the Leaf Cutter Ant Guide that this is the oldest queen ant in the queen assembly, and attends this meeting in person, which shows the importance of the Leaf Cutting Ant Nation.
The queen ant meeting of the leaf-cutting ant country has already made a resolution, and whoever is sent to the meeting is the same, and this time she is the oldest senior, which shows the attitude of the leaf-cutting ant country.
The other representatives of the ant tribe are generally ants with a high status in the highest authority of the tribe, but they cannot be compared with the status of this leaf-cutting ant queen in China.
The right to speak at the meeting had already been set before the meeting, and the Leafcutter Ant Country had seized it.
After the leaf cutter ant queen lay down, the other representatives sat down one after another, and their tentacles touched the ground.
The position of the protagonist is in the circle directly opposite the position of the leaf cutter ant queen, if according to human habits, the leaf cutter ant queen is the main seat and the upper seat, then the protagonist's seat is the guest seat and the lower seat.
The protagonist knows what the leaf-cutting ants mean, not to give himself a disgrace or embarrassment like humans, this time it is the meeting where the Divine Envoy King Legion is accepted into the Ancient God Inheritance Alliance, so naturally it should be in this position.
When the protagonist lies down and all the delegates touch the ground with their tentacles, the female ant, who is responsible for maintaining order in the meeting, drives the other ants to the edge of the conference room with her guards, and strictly inspects the ants who dare to sneak on the ground with their tentacles.
In general, no ant would dare to interfere with the meeting.
The meeting has officially begun!
————
At the beginning, the leaf cutter ant queen introduced the situation: they had recently discovered the ant clan of the Thor inheritance, and they wanted to pull it into the alliance, inviting all the ant clans of the ancient god inheritance in the contact tree area to come and review it.
The Leaf Cutter Ant Queen also shows a packet of information packets about the Divine Messenger King's Legion unleashing thunder in [Red Iron City].
From the perspective of the leafcutter ants, the delegates saw fleeting flashes of light and thunderous sounds.
The delegates expressed their attitudes to each other, and except for the protagonist and the leaf cutter ant queen, who did not need to express their position, the other representatives agreed that this was indeed a miracle of Thor's inheritance.
Subsequently, the other delegates expressed the need to verify the runes of the Divine Envoy King Legion.
The protagonist had shown the lightning rune he had made up to the Leaf Cutting Ant Country before, and the other party also recognized it, saying that it was a big thunder rune, and the protagonist knew that there was a small thunder rune like a firecracker.
The protagonist once again shows the lightning rune, which is also recognized.
The male ant representative of the all-heteroblind leafcutter ant even said that only the leafcutter ant nation and the bullet ant tribe have the longest inheritance and can know the most runes, and it is no problem for the two clans to recognize it.
This revealed some intelligence.
After verifying the miracles and runes, and agreeing to all 11 ant clans, the leaf cutter ant queen announced that she had accepted the Divine Envoy King Legion as the 12th ant clan member of the 23rd Liaison Tree of the Old God Legacy Alliance.
Of course, according to the hexadecimal counting of the ants, it should be: the "2nd 6" ant clan member who accepts the Legion of the Divine Envoy King as the "3rd 6 and 5" contact tree.
The protagonist feels that he has found something very important, and quickly asks what the "contact tree" is.
The leaf cutting ant queen said: Many ant tribes inherited by the ancient gods have lost some history and knowledge, and their clan, as the caretaker of the liaison tree, has a relatively complete inheritance and knows the inside story.
After explanation, it turns out that the so-called contact trees are all ancient trees, and they are the contact center of all the ancient god inheritance ant clans in an area, and there are ant clan guards who have guarded these sacred trees for generations in ancient times, and these ant clans are generally all kinds of leaf-cutting ants, or other forest-dwelling ant races.
There are about 1.3 million Liaison Trees in this world, which is the "13th Power of 6" (6 to the 13th power of 6) Liaison Tree, and all the Ancient God Inheritance Ant Clan should hold a meeting here at the local Liaison Tree every 6 years to discuss the major matters of the Alliance.
If there is something else important that needs to be met, an additional meeting can be held, which can be called by the guardian ant clan of the liaison tree. Just like this time, the Leaf Cutting Ant Nation gathered everyone to discuss the joining of the Divine Envoy King's Legion into the Alliance.
The protagonist calculates in his heart that if the contact area of each liaison tree is the same as here, which is equivalent to the radius of the human world of 6 kilometers and an area of about 100 square kilometers, then the world's more than 1.3 million liaison trees can be estimated to have a total land area of about 130 million square kilometers.
Considering that there may be overlap between some contact trees, and some desert mountains will not have trees, to reduce the area a little more, the total land area of the ant world should be about 100 million square kilometers.
The protagonist remembers that in his previous life, the land area of the earth was more than 140 million square kilometers, and the land area of the ant world was much smaller.
There are some previous discoveries, and the protagonist firmly believes that this is the future earth, so this future world has obviously experienced a wave of sea level rise, and I don't know if this is the reason for the demise of human civilization.
If each contact tree has about 10 ant clans of the ancient god inheritance, then there are as many as 13 million ant clans of the ancient god inheritance. These ant tribes previously considered each other to be civilized nations.
And according to the additions of other representatives, those who do not believe in the ancient gods and have no inheritance or have lost their inheritance are called savage ants, and their number is a hundred times and a thousand times that of civilized ant tribes.
Speaking of which, these representatives of the ant tribe seem to like to call other uncivilized ant tribes barbarian ants, which is the same as the country where the big-headed ant kingdom called paving ants barbarians in the past.
I think of the main nest of the big-headed ant kingdom [Qingqiu City], but there is a real fire, although it is not like the fire god inheritance black fire ant clan here, which will be used to burn stoneware and make barbecue.
But the big-headed ant kingdom looks like this, and it is really likely that it is also a country inherited by the fire god. It may be due to the fact that the paving ant barbarian country was almost wiped out in a wave very early, and the original main nest and a large number of male ants with inheritance memories died, and the inheritance was lost.
Doesn't the big-headed ant kingdom still have the position of the oldest king, and can listen to the "divine decree" through the sacred channel? Is their god the so-called god of fire?
The more the protagonist thinks about it, the more he thinks it is, and he hurriedly asks, using the example he knows of an ant tribe like the Big-headed Ant Kingdom, if they are the inheritance of the god of fire.
The leaf cutter queen ant and the bullet ant representative, an unmarried old female ant, exchanged views on public channels on the ground.
They replied: "This ant clan must have lost its heritage, and it has the Holy Fire but no runes. If they can't retrieve the runes and inheritance memories, they may lose even the holy flame and become savage ants.
