Chapter 119: The City of Sages

Originally, Evan was worried about whether there was civilization in this world, and whether the level of civilization would be too low, until he found the trap in the depths of the forest;

Since there is a metallurgical technology tree, it proves that there are industrial raw materials, which is undoubtedly good news for Ivan.

He set off at once, leaving the inaccessible forest and heading in the direction of the traps becoming denser and denser.

There is a saying that is hidden in the city.

It's a bit inappropriate, but that's what he's doing right now.

After all, the space armband has been destroyed, and the adjudication glove is not on the body, so it can be said that there are no industrial materials at all.

In this case, the best way to build the Silent City is to integrate into the civilization of this world and use the power of the system to raise raw materials. With the raw materials, Evan was able to build a mechanical sapper and build an industrial base, and the Silent City would be completed in a year and a half.

After leaving the forest, Evan headed north and quickly found the remains of many buildings, but there were no public facilities such as sewers and toilets, which meant that it was likely that civilization was still stuck in the city-state era. Judging from the height of the building, intelligent beings should be about the same height as humans, and even their living habits should be about the same as those of humans.

In addition, the damage of the building remains is also very strange, it should be blasted by some kind of force in an instant, which means that the civilization classification of this world is quite serious, some civilizations have mastered the means of destroying cities instantly, some civilizations are still stuck in the era of city-states, and the higher civilizations seem to be very keen on slaughtering lower civilizations.

At first, Evan just thought there was something strange about the world, and it seemed that there were certain civilizations that were keen on killing and sacrificing.

After all, there are civilizations like the Aztecs and Mayans on Earth that are fond of murder and sacrifice, so I am not too surprised...... That was until he found a large number of bones that had been processed into household items.

Some of the bones were made into chairs, some into chandeliers, and some were arranged and nailed to the shape of a bed. After learning this, Ivan realized that the previous war to destroy the city-state may not be a battle of civilizations, but a war of races - the weak race, in the face of the strong race, may only be food and tools.

Worse for him, the bones were all human.

It seems that the human civilization in this world seems to have overturned......

One by one, one by one

Continuing north along the massive ruins of buildings, there are more and more shocking things along the way.

Evan even saw the wreckage of his limbs that had been abandoned in a concentrated manner...... And near these limbs, there are no human corpses.

When his first reaction was - human Biao.

At this moment, Evan has made up his mind that once the construction of the Silent City is completed, he will completely destroy the bloodthirsty civilization.

After flying about 5,000 kilometers, he saw a tall tower in the distance!

Yes, that is undoubtedly a tower indeed.

Visually close to a hundred meters in height, triangular pyramidal, completely made of skulls, and a black flag of a totemic nature is also hung on it. The white bone tower stood in front of the earth-colored giant city wall, its pale body reflected in the sunlight and turned golden red, like a sword of hell breaking through the earth.

There is also a strange city behind the tower, half of the city has collapsed, and the remaining half of the city is still in its original state.

In the well-preserved city, each building is as grand as a palace, and uses a very sloping roof, with rows of white female statues rising from the eaves. Copper bells hang from the top of the building's vault, and the eaves reach the roof of the copper bells, and there are white steps connecting them to each other, apparently as an alarm device.

Towering walls and square-lined streets divide the city, the widest of which is the central square, which is thousands of square meters, starting with four such avenues leading to the north, south, and north, and in the center of the square is a soft statue of a goddess, in contrast to the tower of bones that smells of primitive blood outside.

On the surface, the city is clearly a human city, and a highly developed human city.

Now, the intelligent beings living in the city are a group of short, ugly creatures, with green skin and thin limbs. Apparently out of place in a well-planned city, these creatures roam the streets and alleys with shoddy weapons in their hands, mating and excreting in temples and squares.

Obviously, these creatures forcibly took over the city that originally belonged to humans in a way that doves took over the magpie's nest.

As for the humans in this city, they have probably become food.

Ivan walked into the city in stealth, and as soon as he stepped into the creature colony, he was choked by a stream of air mixed with the smell of excrement and body odor.

Holding his breath as he continued on his way, Evan became increasingly disillusioned with the dwarf, humanoids, who were clearly a pack of dwarf beasts with extremely limited technical knowledge. It's hard to imagine how advanced smelting technology these savage creatures who can mate in public can master.

He walked around the city, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became: "Judging from the scale of civilization in this city, human beings have mastered the productive forces close to the period of the Second Industrial Revolution, how can they be defeated by this weak creature that stays in the Stone Age!?"

Just as Ivan was about to bury the city and the ugly creatures with a nuclear explosion, a scream belonging to a human woman caught his attention.

"And the living!?" the next moment he heard the scream, Ivan immediately teleported to the source of the sound.

It was a temple-shaped building, and at this time the entire building was surrounded by three layers of green creatures, and in front of the temple door, a group of heavily armed human soldiers. The soldiers, both men and women, were armed with heavy plate armor and appeared to be armed with iron cans, and were clearly stronger and more evasive than the group of enemies with clubs and spears.

It was with such equipment that they were able to barely hold the temple behind them in a hundred times the number of their own.

At this moment, those soldiers were obviously on the verge of exhaustion, the hands holding their weapons were trembling, and there was a feeling of weakness between the roars and roars, and it seemed that they were completely relying on perseverance to persist in fighting.

"It seems that this temple is their spiritual support...... No, there are people in the temple, too?"

Ivan silently passed through the 'Green Tide', crossed the last line of defense of the human warriors, and entered the temple.

As soon as I entered the door, I found dozens of plump women wearing white pointed hats and neat white robes, arguing fiercely over something. In fact, it is not a dispute, but a young girl arguing with reason, while other women are fiercely refuting it.

Ivan was curious about what their argument was about, so it took him a few seconds to analyze the language composition of these people, and he quickly understood what they meant.

What surprised him was that things had come to this point, and these people were still debating whether to resist or not. And most of them advocated that there should be no resistance, but the little girl insisted on using force to expel the monsters.

"It is because of your weakness that those filthy and savage creatures have taken over the city, and now most of the citizens have been turned into food. You're crazy to order the last soldier to give up resistance!" the little girl screamed in frustration.

"It's hard to believe that such rude words could come from the mouth of a well-educated goddess, and I am very disappointed in you. ”

The goddess at the head shook her head, looked at her with pity, and said disappointedly: "Remember, the difference between humans and beasts is that humans have morals and conscience. When you harm other lives, you give up your conscience and choose to be with the beast. If you choose to fight violence with violence, then what's the difference between you and those beasts outside the door?"

"But the beasts have slaughtered the whole city, and are going to kill us now!" argued the little girl.

"If you know that they are a pack of beasts, why should you bother with them, and when will human morality and law judge beasts?"

The goddess at the head first asked a series of rhetorical questions, which silenced the other party, and then said calmly: "They are just a group of beasts that act on instinct, and you are different, you are a human with a sense of morality." We should be kind to all things, be kind to all outsiders, and try to impress them with our tolerance and love. ”

"They're eating people!" the little girl was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and almost cried.

"Beasts eat people, do you want to eat people too?" retorted one of the priests.

"What do you say, we're going to die now......" the little girl asked, a little confused.

"If I die, I choose to forgive them!"

The goddess at the head raised her head, looked at the statue of the god directly opposite the hall, showed a solemn and holy expression, and said with great firmness: "I forgive all those who have hurt me, I forgive those who have invaded the city, I forgive those poor beasts, they are only trying to survive. In any case, it is not right to hurt others, and we should treat all living beings equally. ”

β€œ......”

The little girl's face was flushed, and she opened her mouth again and again, as if she had never been able to organize her words, and only squeezed out a sentence in half a voice:

"And what about our warriors? they're bleeding. ”

"They?"

A hint of contempt flashed in the priest's eyes, and he raised his voice suddenly, and said in an awe-inspiring tone, "They are just a bunch of self-exiled trash who have chosen to be in the company of wild beasts...... With the blood of innocents on their hands, they are a pack of bloodthirsty beasts. ”

"Innocent!?" the little girl's eyes widened, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Yes, innocents! If it weren't for hunger, how could they attack our city. In the end, it's our fault, we are not tolerant enough......" The priest at the head looked remorseful and very sad at this time.

Her words were sought after by almost all the priests, and they scrambled to say:

"There is no sin in trying to survive. ”

"They are also a bunch of innocent people who are dominated by bestiality, and we should pray for them. ”

"As long as they are given abundant substances, they will gradually move away from their animal nature. ”

The little girl looked at their faces full of love and kindness, the blood in her heart gradually became cold, and the expression on her face became numb.

"Lina, do you regret your mistake!?" noticing the expression on her face, the goddess officer at the head asked sharply.

"Repentance, you're all crazy!"

The little girl screamed on the verge of collapse, but the expression on her face gradually hardened: "Then you repent slowly, I choose to fight with those warriors and die with them, for me to truly repent." ”

Bangβ€”β€”!

In an instant, a heavy vase slammed into the back of her head, and the little girl fell to the ground.

β€œ......”

The priests were visibly frightened by the scene, and they all looked at the perpetrator, who was also a half-grown female priest who looked about the same age as a little girl.

After a brief silence, the chief priest walked up to the abuser and stretched out his hand to mark the sacred symbol on her forehead:

"Praise you, my dear sister, that God will bless you for eliminating a potential criminal with your own hands. What you have done is undoubtedly an act of justice, you have chosen humanity in the face of humanity and animal nature, and you are our pride. ”

"Praise you. ”

"Praise you. ”

"Praise you. ”

The rest of the priests offered their blessings to her, and their eyes were full of admiration and love when they looked at her.

At that moment, with a roar of human female rage, the last line of defense of the city finally collapsed, and the ugly, dwarf, green creatures let out a scream and rushed through the doors of the warriors' corpses, pouring into the temple like a tidal wave.

"Poor children. ”

In the face of those humanoid creatures rushing over, the goddess officer led by him opened his arms, assumed an all-inclusive posture, and said softly:

"I forgive you. ”
