In ancient times, the Lepelian people called the nomadic hunter-gatherers in the north "Savoy people" because they thought that the Savoyard people did not pay attention to hierarchical etiquette, lacked wisdom, and were barbaric and rude, so they looked down on such Savoy people very much, and often laughed at them for being vulgar and rude, and were ashamed of them. However, for the straightforward and rude Savoyard people, the sanctimonious and scheming Lepelian people in the Eastern Continent are even more annoying. The complexity and insidiousness of the inner world of the Lepelian people in the Eastern Continent is always far beyond the imagination of the Savoyard people, because they are almost always used by the untrustworthy Lepelian people, only to realize that they have been fooled again.

The canony and brutality of the Savoyard people is evident, and their true character is exposed in words and deeds, and even when it is a brutal atrocity, they will do it as a matter of course, and never hide it. Therefore, there is no need to wonder if they are doing something shady in the shadows. On the whole, the Savoyard people were very fond and hateful, straightforward, with little city government and vanity, and a rather weak sense of class.

More than 1,000 years ago, when the Savoyard people inhabited the Eastern Continent, they were given the title of "Fighting Nation", and this title has not changed to this day. The creed of the Savoyard people is "Fight or die!", and it is precisely because of this too brave and unafraid of death that many Savoyard people lost their lives at a very young age. In the places inhabited by the Sava people, it is almost impossible to see old dragons or bloated and fat figures, both male and female, who are very fond of wild combat. They walk upright, strutting, and full of strength, wishing they could make a deep footprint with each step.

The free-spirited and unscrupulous Savoyard were accustomed to squandering their money and courage to the fullest in their relatively short journey of life, enjoying themselves in time and living an unrestrained life. Although they are equally interested in profit and plunder, the purpose is very simple, it is just to have enough fun in their short life. Watching beasts fight and gambling with them is one of the most important pastimes in the lives of the Savoyard people today.

In fact, watching the beast show is a traditional custom of the Savoy people, which existed long before the ancient Hill kings unified the Eastern Continent. But at that time, it was just a simple beast fight, and it had nothing to do with gambling, and even when the Silven people of the Streamer Clan came to the Western Continent, the form of the beast fight performance was no different from that of ancient times. However, since about ten years ago, after some exchanges between the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent finally began, the nature of the beast fighting show has undergone drastic changes under the influence of the Lepeilian people in the Eastern Continent.

Since more than 100 years ago, when the half-bloods took some wild specialties and dried seafood from the Western Continent for the first time in a simple boat, and ventured across the sea to the Eastern Continent in exchange for scarce living materials, the nobles of the Eastern Continent have gradually become obsessed with those rare foreign items, especially leafless acorns.

Leafless oaks grow only in the northwest of the western continent, and in the desert areas with very hot and harsh climates, they bloom and bear fruit all year round, but they never see a single leaf, and on the bare branches, there are heavy purple-red fruits. Each fruit is the size of a fist, and is covered in a smooth, thick crust with purple juice and yellow seeds inside. The color of the juice is very bright, not only can it be used to quench thirst and cure fever, but it can also be used to render clothing, which is quite bright and beautiful, and retains a charming fragrance for a long time. The most important thing is that those who are lost in the desert can also find their way by following its fragrance from afar. After the fruit is plucked from the tree, it will not spoil for three years at room temperature, the juice inside will remain fresh, and the hard husk itself can be made into a valuable spice.

However, the collection of leafless acorns is quite difficult. It was first discovered by a few half-bloods lost in the desert, who originally put the rare fruit on ships along with other goods and transported them to the Eastern Continent in exchange for food, seeds, and supplies. Unexpectedly, the leafless acorn greatly satisfied the vanity of the nobles of the Eastern Continent, who desperately needed these fragrant and gorgeous things to show off their unique status and wealth, after all, they were precious things that the Eastern Continent did not have.

Since then, the wild fruits that originally grew in obscurity in the desert and were freely picked by travelers in the past have become a symbol of status under the coaxing of the nobles of the Eastern Continent, and their value has soared rapidly, and the value of a single fruit far exceeds the value of a hundred slaves, and even exceeds the supply.

Despite this, the rewards that can actually reach the half-blood merchant in the end are pitiful. For, starting from the southernmost city of Limbo, the journey over the mountains to the desert region in the northwest, that is, to the area where the leafless oak grows, is quite long and difficult. If you encounter wild beasts in the mountains or fall into a swampy place on the way, it is not certain whether you will be able to return with your life. Therefore, the principal and cost of collecting leafless acorns are often the lives of half-blood merchants. Nearly half a year had passed when the leafless acorns had made the long journey from the hot desert terrain through the mountains and swamps again, escaped the maws of wild beasts, and were successively transported to the humid south and stacked in the harbor of Limbo City.

For the next two hundred days or so, these leafless acorns collected from the desert will be the same as other wild specialties of the Western Continent, and they will have to venture out on the sea, not only fighting unpredictable storms but also avoiding silent pirates. In fact, encountering Fiji pirates is a trivial matter, and some supplies can be passed, as long as they do not resist violently, the pirates generally will not easily kill half-blood merchants, at most they will only lose some goods. After all, it was the purpose of the Fiji pirates who had lost their land to demand subsistence supplies, and it was not their intention to kill them. Only by giving the half-blood merchants the opportunity to continue to trade between the two continents will the pirates be able to keep getting more supplies from them. Killing everything is a matter of harming others and oneself, and this simple truth is very clear.

In this process, what is really terrifying is actually the storm that is powerless to resist, and after arriving on the west coast of the East Continent, the nobles of the East Continent have to face the harsh taxes that have no rules to follow.

In the Eastern Continent, because all countries prohibit civilians from doing business, there is no relevant tax law to follow, and half-blood merchants will encounter a variety of different tax items and taxes every time they pass through a country, or even every city. These commodities that have drifted across the ocean from the Western Continent have been squeezed layer after layer before they finally reach the hands of consumers. Interestingly, it was these aristocrats who squeezed the half-blood merchants and imposed heavy taxes, and they were still the last high-priced consumers. Ordinary civilians did not dare to expect those expensive things, they had no wealth, at most they could only use their own food and seeds to exchange some dried seafood with the half-bloods. Thanks to the long journey of leafless acorns, the whole process from picking to delivery to real consumers took more than a year, sometimes even two years. Therefore, the value of a leafless acorn would be far more than a hundred slaves, which is not an exaggeration in the Eastern Continent.

But the luxuries that adorned the vanity of the aristocracy were not necessarily immediately available if they wanted them. They have to wait a year, or even longer, to get it again. Therefore, in the past ten years, the nobles of the Eastern Continent have also begun to try to build private ships, and they have come to Linbo City in person to buy all kinds of scarce items they need from half-blood merchants. Since then, the tranquility of the West Sea has finally been broken, and some exchanges between the eastern and western continents have gradually begun.

Due to a small number of nobles from the Eastern Continent who often traveled back and forth between the East and West continents, by chance, they saw the beast fighting performances of the Sava people, which aroused their strong interest. But if you watch too many simple beast fights, you will lose your passion, so those wealthy nobles of the Eastern Continent spontaneously regarded this entertainment as gambling and used their wealth to help the fun, which gradually influenced more and more Savoyard people, and they couldn't stop participating in it. Since then, the Colosseum has quickly turned into a casino.

Just as the Lepelians hated the Savoyards, the Savoyards hated the Lepelians, but they didn't hate the possessions they brought with them at all. As a result, the Colosseum in Solong became the only place where rivals, the Savoyard and Lepelian, could coexist peacefully. More than a thousand years after parting ways, the two peoples were fortunate enough to find what they essentially shared as one species.

"You mean that the Savoyards might have kept our people locked up with beasts of prey and had them fight each other and gamble for fun?" asked Westliu, incredulous.

Mono nodded with difficulty, in fact, this is no secret. In the past ten years, not only the Savoyard people, but also the nobles of the Eastern Continent have often crossed the sea with huge sums of money, sat in the bloody Colosseum, and squandered their wealth. Only the Streamers who had never been to Solong City did not expect that their people would be locked up in the Colosseum, forced to fight beasts to seize their lives, and to the amuse of the Savoy and Lepelian.

This accident certainly did not please the priest, after all, it was the duty of the priest to protect the clan. Although it is inevitable to be injured on the battlefield, it is unimaginable for the streamer to be tortured alive like this. If the priest had anticipated this, he would not have waited for the festival to come to the city to save the people, he thought it was just a simple captivity. It seems that the ideological gap between the two races is more than "very different". At that moment, Mano noticed that the priest's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light flashed in the blue eyes, although the facial expression barely changed.

Facts have proved that the cruelty of the Lepeilian people is still far beyond the imagination of the streamers. In their homeland, the Streamers, any being will be respected, and will not be meaninglessly destroyed because of differences in life forms. Because, all living beings will consciously abide by the survival rules of the Streamer Star, and will never destroy the harmony of the living environment.

The so-called "law of survival" refers to the order that all life forms on the Streamer Star must abide by in the process of survival, in other words, it is an instinct that the Streamer Life Forms evolve in order to adapt to the environment. It is similar to the laws used by the countries of the world to regulate the behavior of their citizens, but it has a completely different nature from the laws of the world of Leipelian.

The origin of the law of survival is too long ago to be remembered, it has long been engraved in the soul of the streamer, it has the same effect on all creatures on the streamer, and no different forms of life will be treated differently. Although the priests are the nominal guardians of the Streamer's Survival Rule, they don't actually need to do anything about it, because not only the Streamers, but also other life forms on the Streamer will consciously abide by this law, which is their innate instinct. They will only ask for resources from their homeland that are just enough to meet their basic survival needs, and they will never hunt or destroy other lives at will, even mountains and rivers. The Streamer believes that all the things that exist on the Streamer Star are alive and an inseparable part of the homeland. Because, the Streamer Star itself is a being with life and soul - the Sun King.

In the worldview of the streamers, the existence of different life forms is to make the world appear more colorful, to show the infinite possibilities of life forms, not to stratify or dominate the hierarchy. Because each life has a unique wisdom and beauty, and life will never disappear, but it will take on different forms of existence at different stages. Maybe you used to be a part of me, maybe I used to be a part of you, we all came from the same homeland, and we have long since separated from each other. Therefore, streamers cherish everything about the streamer as they cherish themselves.

In ancient times, the Lepeilian people used to think that the streamers were all big fools, and one of the reasons was that the streamers were full of treasures but no one knew the treasures. But for the Streamer people, those treasures are only a part of their homeland, and even they themselves are part of their homeland, just like mountains and rivers that naturally exist, there is no difference, and the Streamer Star itself is a luminous natural object, so the Streamer people do not have the consciousness of "taking it for themselves".

However, in the world of Lepelian, the nature of civilization is very different, and gold gemstones can satisfy the desires of the vast majority of people and enhance their sense of superiority. They will even enclose the land as kings, take the land that gave birth to all life for themselves, squander the resources of nature as a matter of course, and wreak havoc like destroyers, bullying the weak, and leaving no discontent and devastation wherever they go, and having no gratitude for the world that gave them life, and discarding it when they are done.

Before falling into the world of Lepeilian, the streamers had never even experienced the experience of "killing each other in order to survive". Despite this, the Streamers still abide by the principle of the Streamer's survival rules, and wag a war with the Lepeilian people that lasted for thousands of years with difficulty and moderation. For the Lepeilian people, who are accustomed to seeking survival and satisfying their desires from killing, the rules of survival of the Streamers are unimaginable. But for streamers who are accustomed to seeing the same amount, it is a matter of course to abide by the rules of survival, because it is their innate instinct.
