Chapter 51: The Wisdom of Survival

Although the two sides had met many times on the battlefield, it was the first time that they had been so close and uneventful together, and Tusaron couldn't help but look at the mysterious and powerful alien priest. Considering the unexpected defeat not long ago, coupled with the difference in size, such distance brought Tusaron an unprecedented sense of oppression. The face that could not see joy and sorrow, and the faint streamers under the skin, seemed even more incredible. The body looks like a male, but the face is beardless and the body is fragrant, and Tusaron still can't figure out the true gender of these aliens.

After looking at it for a long time, Tusaron suddenly came back to his senses. He couldn't believe that at such a time, he still had the leisure to think about these miscellaneous things, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts and expressed the doubts in his heart: "Why did you take the risk to come to the rescue? Aren't we enemies?"

"It's not to save you. The priest said indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Tusaron was puzzled, why did these aliens say they weren't helping them?

"If you can understand, this land may be more prosperous without the Savoyards, but the Savoyards cannot survive without the land, and will not even have a chance to be born......" said the priest evasively, "but you can avoid the same calamity from happening again. ”

"Will this terrible catastrophe happen again in the future?" said Tussalon, frightened, and eagerly asked, "how can it be avoided?"

"Your fate depends on your attitude towards nature. Therefore, when you learn to live in peace with other beings and share the blessings of the earth, you can attain true peace and abundance. ”

"Share?" Tusaron keenly grasped the point between the priest's words, and then a new question arose: if everything was shared with others, wouldn't it be less for oneself, and where would there be peace and abundance?

Based on the cultural and ethnic nature of the Lepelian people, the priest could easily see the confusion of the Savoyard in front of him. So he explained: "Every life exists to help perpetuate other lives, and everyone shares each other's gifts, circulates with each other, and runs the world together." If you destroy any of them, you are gradually destroying yourself, because you are one with the world. The meaning of life is to survive, not to destroy. If you cut off the cycle of life, you will lead yourself to narrowness and isolation, and you will not be able to survive for a long time. But if you learn to live in harmony with nature, then you will reap more of what nature has to offer. The priest's voice had almost no emotional ups and downs, as if it were merely stating a fact, without counsel or mercy.

"Survival is not only your own survival, but also destruction, is it not only the destruction of others?" Tusaron suddenly brightened, and in an instant, he seemed to live again, and suddenly understood many things. The white light that flashed from his mind before that he didn't have time to grasp, just like the words of the alien priest that shone with the light of wisdom, suddenly appeared clearly. Many things that I had never thought of or noticed before could be connected in an instant. He finally understood why, in past wars, these aliens had always been so aggressive in setting their battlefields in the open spaces outside the forest, or on the beaches of the coast, because they did not want the forests to be affected and destroyed by war. They were so powerful, but they never started a war, never killed a single horseman, never pursued or killed indiscriminately. What they do is not out of pity, but out of respect for life itself.

"Why didn't I realize these things before? The true strength of aliens is far beyond what they show. And I was defeated repeatedly, but I still thought that they were not invincible, and even used to be complacent about it......" Tusaron couldn't help but smile bitterly. But he was one of the most far-sighted kings ever seen by the Savoy, possessing not only a strong physique, but also a resilient soul, and some things became clear once he understood them. The only thing that remains unchanged is that he has always been and still is a king who is bent on making this kingdom richer and stronger, and he will spare no effort as long as it is beneficial to the kingdom of Savie. After being prompted by the priest, he soon realized his own inadequacy and how narrow his understanding of life itself and the world in which he lived had been. He had to admit that, power aside, even ideologically, these aliens had long since surpassed the Savie.

From this moment on, Tusaron was no longer confused, no longer feeling fearful and helpless, he knew that there was so much to do that he shouldn't waste any more time pitying himself. He had made up his mind to re-establish a truly prosperous kingdom from this ruin, not only in material resources, but also in spiritual resources. Soon, Tusalon puffed up his chest again, looked up at the alien priest, and said with a fighting spirit, "I will express my gratitude to you with a vibrant future. ”

As soon as the words fell, Tusalon turned sharply and strode towards the ruins. Priest Sirwin nodded slightly at the determined back, then turned to look at the children on the sand, and whispered, "May they follow the laws of nature and gradually prosper and prosper......

The child happily stretched out his hand and paused it on the priest's face, and then the hand pierced directly into his flesh and blood, and he did not feel the slightest pain. In this moment, he experienced a very strange feeling, because the child was not touching his body, but his soul, the source of his life, and he became more aware of the fact that he was part of the Streamer. It is in this way that the Sun Kings – while giving life – also engraved the law of survival in their souls as their innate instinct to prosper and prosper.

This sudden sandstorm almost destroyed the entire city of Suolong, claiming nearly one-fifth of the city's lives. With such a large ruin, it is quite difficult to clean up, but fortunately, with the help of the streamers, it is much faster than expected.

The scarcity of food and fresh water forced the Savoyards, who had never disliked eating fish, to try to fish in the coastal waters around the port of Solong. It was about twenty days later that the two ships that had traveled south in search of food and fresh water finally returned to Suolong, along with a half-bloody merchant ship loaded with all kinds of supplies that the city urgently needed at the moment.

In fact, the Sava people who went to Limbo to ask for supplies did not mention this disaster to the half-bloods, but only asked them to hand over all the supplies for the next year's tribute in advance. The timid and docile half-bloods didn't understand why the Savoy people would suddenly collect the next year's supplies in advance, after all, they had just sent a batch of supplies to the city of Solong not long ago. But even so, no one dared to ask more, and honestly gathered the materials requested by the Sava people, and then loaded them on the ship, and followed the Sava people to the city of Solong.

Normally, if you don't go to sea, you don't have to go to the desert to collect leafless acorns, and you don't need to go to Suolong City to pay tribute, the half-bloods will stay in Linbo City in peace, and they will not stay away easily, so they will not be aware of this disaster in Suolong City. When they arrived at the port of Solong and saw the wreckage scattered all over the place, they thought it was just an ordinary storm. They had seen the power of storms for many years, and they did not doubt him, so they unloaded their supplies from the ship, loaded them on ochre carts, and staggered all the way to the city of Suolong, until the ruins buried in the sand came into view, and they were stunned.

The grandeur of the city and the noisy crowds of the past are long gone, and the ruins are trapped in the sand. Of course, these tragic conditions alone were not enough to make the half-bloods fearful, and what shocked them the most was that there were tens of thousands of aliens standing on the ruins!

All along, the image of aliens in their minds has been that of a murderous and terrifying existence, like a catastrophe. At first glance, it seems that the city of Solong has been destroyed by those aliens, but on closer inspection, it does not look like it, because there is no sign of conflict or fighting, and the Savoy and the aliens are all right. But because it was too unexpected, the half-blood man was suddenly stunned, and for a while he didn't know what to do, so he just stared at the edge of the city in a daze, not daring to act rashly.

At this moment, a tall, familiar figure suddenly burst into view and was rushing towards them.

"Demon, demon, demon......" Isolt was suddenly at a loss, and his voice trembled a little. The half-blooded people were stunned at first, but then they couldn't help but settle down, at least they knew that this person would not hurt them.

"Did you learn about the disaster in Suolong City, and sent supplies to help?" asked Mono with relief.

Aesop hesitated for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment: "No, no, the Savoyard didn't say anything, just asked us to hand in the supplies for the previous year in advance." This time it was mainly food and cold fabrics, but with the addition of fresh water, there were a bit of them, and our boat followed, and we didn't know until here......"

"I see," Mono laughed, "but it's good to see you again!"

Last time, when Suo Long was in a hurry to separate, Mono really thought that there might never be a chance to meet again. After all, he didn't want to involve these gentle and harmless half-bloods because of his status as an alien, but fortunately, the situation was different from before.

Half-bloods have always had mixed feelings towards the Savoyards. Truth be told, the Sava Clans were rude and fierce, but in the two hundred years that the Half-Bloods had migrated from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, the Sava Civilians had never really harmed or expelled them. However, in order to keep the hard-won shelter in the city of Limbo, the humble half-bloods always respected and feared the Sava people, and obeyed them all the time. Of course, they would not know that the reason why the Savoyards did not expel them was because they did not see them as a threat at all. The sturdy and self-confident Savoyard believed that the weak half-bloods were not worthy of being their opponents, so they basically ignored them except for receiving tribute from the half-bloods. Fortunately, these half-blooded people are also self-aware, and they have always kept to themselves and never provoked trouble for no reason, so they were able to spend two hundred years peacefully in the Western Continent.

In contrast, the Fitans, who had been driven away by the Savoyard more than a thousand years ago before they could come ashore, were a bit out of luck. But this is not what it used to be, and the Sava people in that dark period of history more than a thousand years ago also ventured across the sea to escape the persecution of King Gushir. At that time, the Savoyard people had left the Eastern Continent with a lot of resentment, and they were deeply hostile to the Lepelians, and no longer trusted anyone but their own people. Therefore, under the historical background at that time, the Fijian people who fled from the Eastern Continent were resolutely not allowed to land.
