Chapter 78: The Resilient and Unyielding Donglai People

Although the Streamers get along well with the birds and animals on the island in the middle of the lake, they have no objections to the way the Lepelian people live. Maybe in the eyes of the streamers, there is no difference between the Lepeilian people and the animals here, right? They all just instinctively need to hunt and eat to maintain their lives, after all, the law of survival in the world of Lepeilian is understandable.

The four Lepelians usually get together to make it easier to communicate and hunt, as they don't survive in the same way as the Streamers. Besides, streamers usually communicate in streamer language, and they don't understand it at all, and even if they want to, they can't learn it, so it's hard to fit in. Although the Lepeilian people can produce hundreds of sounds, they are still not as good as the timbre that the vocal organs of the streamers can produce, coupled with the huge difference in sensory ability, the richness of the symbols of the Lepeilian language is far less than that of the streamer. Therefore, there is no way for the people of Lepeilian to learn the language of streamers.

In the history books of the Lepeilian people, they always condemn and demean the streamers unjustly in a contemptuous tone. In fact, in addition to the hostile position and prejudice, a large part of the reason why the Lepeilian people look down on the streamers and think that they lack wisdom is due to the conceit of the Lepelian people. Because the Streamers had no houses, no weapons, and even no shoes, and their cultural products were extremely poor, the Lepelian people believed that their society was superior. However, during this period of getting along, Mo Di slowly discovered that the cultural essence of the streamer people lies in the spiritual aspect, not the material. The streamers are not lacking in wisdom, but only focus their wisdom on maintaining their own long-term development, unlike the Lepeilian people, who use their ingenuity to develop the technology of survival competition and cannibalism. In short, it is just that the two races are developing in different directions of civilization, and it is not a matter of intelligence.

In order to gain as much insight into this mysterious race as possible, Murdi often asks Mirai Sukaranna some questions about the Streamers, after all, among the Lepelians, only Mirai has spent more time with the Streamers.

"What form does that kid belong to? I noticed that his behavior seemed to be a little different from that of other streamers. ”

"Actually, I don't know very well, I only heard that he is from the homeland of the streamers, but he is not a streamer, and he may not even belong to the category of 'people'. Future said.

"It's not...... Man?" said Modi, surprised, "What's that?"

Future shook his head, he really couldn't answer this question, maybe they should ask the streamer people directly. Just as they were thinking about it, they saw Xiliu and Xiluo walking towards them.

"Priest Veloch has flown to the south of Nabolland, and some of our people may inhabit that area. As soon as that's decided, we'll set off and start moving south. Siloh said to them.

"Aren't you able to deliver the message in infravoice, why did the priest fly over to find it himself, isn't that a waste of time?" asked Tiward, puzzled.

"It's easy to use infrasound, and if it's in our homeland, we don't have any worries. But infrasound is extremely permeable, and if it spreads too widely, for too long, or too often, it can cause serious harm to many lives in the vicinity. So, if it's not just a simple message that can be conveyed in an instant, we won't use infrasound lightly. Xiliu explained.

They just brought the news that the Streamers were going to move south to these Lepeilians, and then left directly without any extra greetings. Fortunately, several Lepeilian people have gradually become accustomed to this way of communication without any red tape.

When they were far away, Sang Wuwang asked a few of his traveling companions, "What are your plans next?"

"I will walk with the streamers. Future said. At present, he has nowhere else to go, after all, his appearance is too easy to attract attention, and he must not reveal his identity, it will be safer to follow the streamer. In addition, he had planned to reacquaint himself with the world he was in, so it would be helpful to move with the streamers.

"I don't have anything else to live here now, and I should continue to walk with me for a while. In fact, a long time ago, I had a dream to travel around the world. But he was held back by the Asmara incident, and now he has lost his convenient identity, and he can't set foot in any country in the Eastern Continent openly. Therefore, if you walk with the streamer people for the time being, you can not only save this little life, but also take the opportunity to browse the scenery on this land. Modi laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I will go wherever the adults go. Tiward quickly chimed in. Although Murdi had said that he was no longer a nobleman and that he didn't need to use any honorific titles, Tiward had long been accustomed to this honorific title and couldn't change his words no matter what.

"After leaving the Arc Lake Valley, it would be nice to find a few riding beasts. Future said again. In fact, everyone knows that since there were a few more of them in the migration team, the streamers had to wait for them appropriately, not to mention that there were two injured people before, which caused the entire trip to be delayed. Although the streamer doesn't care about these details, as a sentimental Lepeilian, he still has some regrets after all.

"Indeed, ......" is the same thing.

Then, Future looked at Sang Wu again and asked, "What about you? What are your plans next? After your injury has improved, you seem to have been struggling to strengthen your physique, are you still thinking about how to destroy the world?"

Hearing this, Modi and Tiward couldn't help but laugh "haha-", presumably the first impression was extremely impressive. Along the way, the four of them naturally developed a friendship. Even the taciturn Future Sukarlana gradually opened up her mind and accepted several traveling companions with different identities, and when she was relaxed, she would occasionally make a harmless joke.

Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood, Sang Wu couldn't help but explain with some embarrassment: "Well, although I don't hate this world anymore, its current appearance is still intimidating. I think I need to explain that what I really want to destroy is 'hate' – all the hatred in this world. ”

Hearing his words, Future and Modi suddenly suppressed their laughter, and a wave of respect arose. From this moment on, no one believed that the man who had been branded on his cheek as a slave was really just a slave. His words, his insights, his constant reinforcement of his strong back, no matter how he looked, did not look like a man who had only been a slave.

"Sang Wu," Mo Di suddenly looked at Sang Wu solemnly, after all, he was nearly ten years older than Sang Wu, so he couldn't help but ask in a serious tone like an elder, "Where did you stay before you went to Dulong?"

"Do you know Donglai City?" asked Sang Wu.

Future shook his head, he had left the Eastern Continent as early as the age of thirteen, and had been living on the ocean with the Fiji people since then, and his understanding of the Eastern Continent was very limited. But for the erudite Mo Di, Donglai City was no stranger, and he nodded: "I know, but it is a pity that it was destroyed by Napoleand and Gueland ten years ago. Don't...... Are you from Donglai?"

"Well......" recalled his hometown, and Sang Wu's expression couldn't help but appear sad.

Ten years ago, at the intersection of the southern border of Geeland and the western border of Naborland, there was a thousand-year-old city called Donglai. For thousands of years, it has been independent of the countries of the Eastern Continent, neither participating in the disputes of other countries nor expanding its territory, as if it is a castle country with the ability to protect itself.

According to legend, the Donglai people are the descendants of the early local Sava people and the Lepeilian people who went north, in fact, they are half-blooded.

More than 1,000 years ago, a large number of Savoy people traveled south to help the ancient king of Gushir, Yiwan Sukaranna, unify the eastern continent. However, there was also a small part of the Savoy who were reluctant to go south and remained in the north. At that time, the eastern continent was full of wars and was not suitable for nomadic hunting life, so the small number of Savoy people who remained in the north gradually combined with some Lepeilian people who came north one after another to escape the scourge of war, formed a stable family, and continued to multiply. In order to protect themselves, they jointly founded the city of Dongnai and built a strong wall around the city.

The Donglai people inherited the lineage and living habits of the Sava people, raising livestock and eating meat as the staple food. The meat they most commonly consume is derived from a species of livestock called the lizard. In ancient times, the lizard was the most common beast in the north of the Eastern Continent, its meat was delicious, and there was no smell of other prey, and it was very popular with the Sava people. So they domesticated the lizard and turned it into livestock, which became an indispensable source of meat for their lives. Later, after settling in Donglai City with the Lepeilian people who had migrated north to escape the war, this traditional eating habit was also continued.

Since ancient times, from the Sava people to the Donglai people, there has always been a habit of eating lizard meat. However, more than 100 years ago, in the year 1219 of the Lepelian calendar, a new kingdom called Napoleand suddenly emerged overnight in the eastern part of the city. It has rapidly annexed the surrounding small countries, continued to grow for more than 100 years, and is now the third largest country. Naborand ruled the country with religion and believed in the "lizard god", and the image of the lizard god was composed of a lizard head and a human body.

The people of Naboland believed that the lizard god was a god of mercy and that all people of high morals should not eat the flesh of the lizard. As a result, the Donglai people became enemies who "desecrated" their faith. As a result, the Nabolanders pronounced their own sentence to death and waged war against them, and the two sides continued to be hostile for more than a hundred years. It was not until ten years ago, in 1344 of the Lepeilian calendar, that the ancient city that had stood on the eastern continent for more than a thousand years was destroyed due to the southern invasion war launched by the northern power Geelander, which forced the city of Donglai to suffer from the enemy.

The city of Donglai was destroyed by the confrontation between Geeland and Naboland, and the few surviving Donglai people were all reduced to either Geeland or Naboland slaves. Soon after, Gueland and his southern neighbor, Dulon, were engaged in a war that lasted for several years...... Due to the above reasons, Sang Wu, who was originally a native of Donglai, became a slave of the two countries of Gueland and Dulong for a whole ten years from the age of 17 to 27.

The fact that the few Donglai people who originally wanted to be alone and isolate themselves from the flames of war were able to build an impregnable city in the troubled times and stubbornly hold on for more than a thousand years, which is enough to prove their strength and wisdom. Although the city was eventually destroyed by the confrontational attacks of the two great powers, Gueland and Nabolland, no one can deny how resilient and unyielding the independent Donglai people once were.

In the city of Donglai, the bravery of the Savoy people and the wisdom of the Lepelian people have been perfectly integrated. They learn from each other's strengths, combine their own strengths, and pass on those good qualities to their descendants, so Donglai people are all wise and brave, and Sang Wunaturally is no exception.

Before the age of seventeen, Sang Wu was a brave warrior, and together with his fathers, he guarded the thousand-year-old city until the destruction of Donglai City ten years ago. He was well educated, and in terms of strength and wisdom, he was the best in the city of Donglai. Even though he was forced to become a tortured slave in the ten years following the destruction of his homeland, the indomitable spirit inherited from his ancestors in his early years could not be cut by the enemy's sharp blade.

"By the end of the war between Gereland and Dulong, I would have been the only survivor of the early exiles of the Donglai people in Gerland. Fortunately, the deceased doesn't have to be like me and be relegated to Dulong......" Sang Wu recalled. He had a purplish-red scar on the left side of his face, but judging by the contours of his face, he was still a handsome young man.

"Well, isn't it ridiculous to go to war just because of a difference in eating habits? The Napolelanders are merely justifying their violent conquest in the name of faith. Future Sukarana couldn't help but sneer. Due to factors such as geography and traditional culture, the eating habits of residents in different regions will naturally be different, which is understandable, but I did not expect it to be a reason for war.

"Yes, regardless of meat and vegetarian, the world kills and eats to survive. But the fact that some people accuse others of being immoral executioners like apologists because of the differences in ingredients also exposes the hypocrisy of some of our cultures. Murphy sighed.

Talking about the past of the old garden, Sang Wu couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, silently remembered for a long time, and then said: "After the fall of the old garden, there are still some survivors who were taken captive by the Nabolanders, if they are still alive now...... Even if only one person is alive, I want to find him. ”

"So, you've decided to go to Napoleland?" asked Modi.

"Hmm. Sang Wu's expression was firm.

"If they were still alive, they would have been slaved by the Napolelands, and I am afraid that it would not be easy to find. But if you're lucky enough to find someone you've deceased, what are your plans for the future?" asked Modi.

"In this troubled world, no plan can change as fast as ever, and you can only take one step at a time. In such a big world, I don't believe I can't find a place to stand. If, in the unlikely event that the old people of Donglae are gone, I will not change my original intention, and I will continue my journey to destroy all the hatred in the world. Sang Wu leaned against the stone wall, looking at the vast sky, his expression was deep and quiet, completely different from when he first saw him, he was young next year, but he looked like an old man who had already seen the vicissitudes of the world.

Looking at Sang Wu like that, the future is full of emotion. It was as if Sang Wu had climbed from the bottom of the valley to the peak, and at this moment he was standing on the top of the mountain looking down on the road he had walked in the past. In fact, he also realized that he climbed up step by step, and when he stood on a higher place and looked back, he realized how insignificant the weight he occupied in this world, and it was not worth mentioning compared to the vast sea and the boundless sky. However, the ideals and desires in the heart have given the small people the power to open up the world, making people fearless and dangerous, and they will die.

"Since you have such determination, then I will accompany you on a ride, right?"

Hearing this, Sang Wu looked at the future in surprise: "Why? You should know that this is going to be a dangerous journey. ”

"If I had been afraid of danger, I wouldn't have set foot on the Eastern Continent again. Future smiled indifferently, "Besides, I have one more thing that must be done, and I will definitely not die easily before that, so don't worry." ”

At this time, Mo Di looked at the future and said with a smile: "You once said that in this troubled world, there must still be many people with great thoughts, and you want to find out those people and change the world together. Now, you seem to have found two. It's a bit self-conscious to call yourself a 'great thinker,' but I don't think you mind, right?"

"No, it's three people, and me! I'll go wherever the adults go. Not to be outdone, Tiward chimed in.

Looking at the high-spirited friends, the future couldn't help but ignite the fighting spirit in his heart: "Okay! Then the four of us will continue this journey together, and we will never give up lightly until we reach the end!"

"Of course, in the future, maybe we will meet more people with great ideas, and when the time comes, I believe we will be able to change the world. "Silent Truth is in high spirits.

Sang Wuye couldn't help but show a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, looked up at the sky again, and felt at peace in his heart: "Sure enough, the cyan blue in the sun is the most beautiful color I have ever seen, because it is the color of miracles from the soul." ”
