Chapter 42: The Power of Faith

On October 13, after spending less than a day in the city of Eskil, Zhang Tie set off north again for the Gozdali Plain.

This time, Zhang Tie took the train, and with Zhang Tie took the train to the north, in addition to the representatives of the various wealthy families of the Ewindara Islands who followed Zhang Tie to the Ice and Snow Wasteland by flying boat, there were also the patriarchs, elders, priests of the temple and others from various bear-level tribes in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.

It can be said that the big names in the northern seas of the entire Blackson Terran Corridor are sitting on this luxury train.

Outside the train, guarding this special train was the most powerful Thor's Hammer cavalry regiment in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, and with the roar of the train's wheels, the iron hooves of more than 7,000 powerful saber-toothed beasts also bombarded the earth, and followed the train to the Gozdali Plains.

At this time, in fact, even if there were no cavalry of Thor's hammer, it was estimated that no force would dare to come to trouble this special train in the entire Blackson Terran corridor, because the knights of the Ice and Snow Wasteland gathered in this special train at this moment, including Zhang Tie, exceeded six people, and such a strength was enough to make anyone frightened.

After getting on the train, Zhang Tie cleared himself in the luxurious compartment of the special train, and threw the most important problem to the patriarchs, knights, priests, and representatives of the various wealthy families of the Ewendala Islands in the Ice and Snow Wasteland, asking them to quarrel and negotiate a solution.

The problem that Zhang Tie threw at them was the founding of the country.

For the country to be established, Zhang Tie only clarified his two principles.

That first principle. It is to fulfill the original promise made to the wealthy families of the Ewendala Islands, and after the establishment of the country, the Ewendala Islands will have a self-governing parliament. The basic rights of the wealthy families will be guaranteed, and the business prosperity and vitality of the Ewindara Islands will be maintained.

The second principle is that the Church of the Old God will become the state religion of the newly established country, and it is also the largest religion in the northern seas of the entire Blackson Terran Corridor, and the new state will be a theocratic system.

After putting forward these two principles, Zhang Tie didn't care, and the rest of the problems. Such as the garrison of the Ewendala Islands, tax revenues, and adjustments to trade relations with the Ice and Snow Wastelands. The integration of the strength of the two sides, how to protect the interests of the various tribes of the ice and snow wasteland, large and small, and how to reflect the power of the patriarchs and elders on the train in the new country......

Let those parties discuss these issues on their own. As long as they agree on their own. Zhang Tie will accept and recognize.

Everyone understood that this was tantamount to Zhang Tie voluntarily giving up some of his rights and making great concessions to complete the peaceful reunification of the various tribes of the Slavs in the Ice and Snow Wasteland. Such sacrifices and concessions, in the eyes of all Slavs, were bright and great. As for the two principles proposed by Zhang Tie, they are actually not principles, because they are almost a fait accompli.

It takes less than five minutes for the train to move, even if it is a few cars away. Zhang Tie still heard the roar of the old wild bear of the wild bear tribe in another carriage, "If each bear-level tribe has a clear territory. Who is under the jurisdiction of the other small and medium-sized tribes in those territories? ”

"Small and medium-sized tribes should enjoy the right to move freely, and when they enter the territory of that bear-level tribe, which bear-level tribe will govern!" This is the voice of Elder Rudolph.

"In this way, your Iron Bear Tribe is not taking a big advantage, because of the existence of the tribal axis railway, most small and medium-sized tribes will choose to gather and settle down not far from the railway line, in this way, your strength will swell greatly, and like our Sea Bear Tribe, it is usually a problem to even eat, then almost no small and medium-sized tribes are willing to settle in our territory, if you have the jurisdiction of those small and medium-sized tribes that have settled in your tribe's sphere of influence, then we will not be thrown farther and farther away by you in the future!" This is the voice of the patriarch of the Sea Bear tribe.

"The Iron Bear Tribe has developed rapidly, this is due to many reasons, not caused by the jurisdiction over small and medium-sized tribes, five fingers stretched out have a long and short length, between the bear-level tribes of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, when has the strength of each tribe been completely equal!"

"Is it possible to compromise on the migration of fox-level and leopard-level tribes to be recognized by the bear-level tribes in their current territory, while the wolf-level, eagle-level and rat-level tribes can move freely!" The patriarch of the Fire Bear Tribe opened his mouth, completely in peace with the mud.

"This will cause a big mess, now the fox-level and leopard-level tribes are free in the ice and snow wasteland, and the bear-level tribes do not have jurisdiction over the fox-level and leopard-level tribes, so why should a few of us draw a map here and say that others are on your territory, and we want to listen to you, and if you say that you are not allowed to migrate, you are not allowed to migrate?"

"Then what should I do, do we have to start with the rat-level tribe and carve out a territory for each tribe?"

"I'm against it!" This time, it was Elder Rudolph's turn to jump out, "In this way, it must be the more backward tribes divide the largest territory, there are so many small and medium-sized tribes gathered in the territory of our Iron Bear Tribe, and divide a piece of territory for each of those small and medium-sized tribes, then what else does our Iron Bear Tribe have, then will we have to pay the city fee when we leave Eskir City, why is your territory big and our territory small!" ”

"Then there is no territory?" The patriarch of the Fire Bear Tribe whispered an underestimate.

"Without a clear division of territory, how can the power of our various bear-level tribes be guaranteed?" Several elders immediately jumped out to object.

……

The carriage on the other side......

"Mrs. Olena, after the discussion of our families in the Ewendala Islands, we have decided to elect you as the Speaker of the Autonomous Council of the Ewendala Islands, please do not shirk!"

"Yes, this position, I can't think of anyone else who could sit better than you, Lady Olena!"

"Only if the lady sits in this position, this is the greatest guarantee for the interests of the Ewindara Islands!"

A chorus of echo followed......

……

Zhang Tie smiled bitterly and shook his head, compared to the unity of the people on the side of the Ewendala Islands, the ice and snow exchange here is simply a pot of porridge, and just listening to it makes Zhang Tie feel dizzy.

Forget it, let them argue, as long as there is a result.

Zhang Tie took back the strong knightly consciousness from the various carriages and began to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the railway outside the window.

On either side of the railway, every few meters stood a javelin-like warrior.

Compared to five years ago, the Ice and Snow Wasteland has indeed changed a lot.

On both sides of the railway, after leaving the city of Eskil, Zhang Tie saw the towns and villages where the residents had settled, as well as smoking factories, many villages with roads built, and there were obviously more cars running in the wilderness, and there was a scene of prosperity everywhere, which was not seen a few years ago.

Seeing the train passing by, countless people waved to the train in the distance, and many people knelt on both sides of the railway and prayed sincerely.

Zhang Tie also saw the churches in those villages, and on the roofs of the churches, there were emblems of ancient gods and religions.

Speaking of the emblem of the ancient gods, Zhang Tie only saw it for the first time yesterday, but every time he saw it, Zhang Tie's face was a little strange, compared to the emblems commonly used in other religions such as crosses composed of one horizontal and one vertical, the emblems of the ancient gods and religions are a concise figure composed of the image of the inner circle and the outer square, a bit like the copper coins made by the Chinese people in ancient times with the concept of the sky and the round place, but the inside and outside of the square circle are the opposite of the copper coins.

The source of the emblem of the ancient god religion is the kind of large water tank carved out of stone that Zhang Tie used to hold water when he "manifested miracles" underground, at first glance, it is completely the top view of the big water tank, but because it is the emblem of the ancient god religion, then, at this moment, this emblem is like a cross, and it has a sacred religious significance.

The circle within the square symbolizes the inner perfection of the divinity of each person in the teachings of the ancient gods, and the square symbolizes the indestructibility of this divinity, and because the square has four corners, those four corners also symbolize the four Sunnahs of courage in the Book of Eternity - the Sunnah of oneself to oneself, the Sunnah of oneself to others, one's own Sunnah of one qiē living being, and one's Sunnah of the natural universe. His Sunnah for oneself is the perfection of the vows, one's Sunnah for others is the perfection of righteousness, one's Sunnah for one living being is the fullness of love, and the Sunnah for oneself for the natural universe is the fullness of wisdom.

Even though the "Book of Eternity" came out of Zhang Tie's mouth, Zhang Tie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that figure for the first time and knew the meaning it represented. All of his followers believed that when Zhang Tie performed miracles underground, including the appearance of the seven large water tanks used to hold water, there was a profound meaning hidden in them, and after the followers studied day and night, they finally "deciphered" the sacred code hidden in the shape of the big water tank, and they were ecstatic, as if they had found the truth.

And why was there seven in the tank instead of six and eight or whatever? In the eyes of the believers of the ancient gods, this also has a sacred meaning, everyone believes that Zhang Tie saved everyone with seven water tanks, in fact, he is also telling everyone that it is the ancient god who created a qiē life, and the ancient god is the creator of a qiē life - because the gestation cycle of all life is a multiple of seven - the gestation cycle of a mouse is 3 times that of 7, 21 days, the gestation cycle of a rabbit is 4 times that of 7, 28 days, and the gestation cycle of a cat is 8 times that of 7, 56 days, The gestation cycle of a dog is 7 times 9 times 63 days, the gestation cycle of a lion is 7 times that of 14 times, and the gestation cycle of a human is 7 times that of 40 times, with 7 pores on the face of a human and 7 spots on the back of a ladybug......

The ancient gods created the sound, so the music has 7 notes......

The ancient gods created the color, so the rainbow has 7 colors......

The ancient gods created all things, so the periodic table has a period of 7......

This return to the Ice and Snow Wasteland made Zhang Tie feel for the first time the terrifying power of the seed of faith he sowed......
