Chapter 15: The Determined One Who Surrounds the Sea of Forests
The night in the forest city of Abada is slightly cooler, as the area is affected by the return air flow from the north, and even more so than the breeze that sweeps through the treetops, making the otherwise silent night liven up with rustling sounds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bright moon directly above hid among the soft, veil-thin clouds, and from time to time sprinkled its pure, pure white light, as if shyly looking at the melody of the world below.
This is the top floor of the special guest room in Abada, which is not the case when it is said to be dedicated, after all, Abada is such a facility for entertaining guests.
The facility is built in the middle of the trunk of the ancient tree species Foster, and consists of ten floors, each with a balcony that surrounds the entire trunk of the tree, offering a 360-degree view of the Abada at night.
At present, Yahui and the others live on the first floor of the guest room, and the maid of the tree people who served dinner to everyone said that the special guest room on the tenth floor has never been full of people.
As a guest, Yahui can understand this, after all, Abada has no other characteristics except for the characteristic migration activities, and even the entertainment facilities are not new.
Coupled with the fact that most of the Treants are a bit slow to do things, they are much better at manipulating machines to do the work for themselves than they do on their own.
The density of robots in Abada is very high, and there are robots for sweeping, patrolling, pesticide, farming, cooking, and so on.
Overdeveloped technology is magic, not just magic that makes people's lives easier, but also magic that makes people lazy.
Just like Salom, a young dragon girl and princess, she is good at using magic, she is lazy in many things, and likes to be lazy, most of which is caused by magic.
Life can't be smooth sailing, but the assistance of robots has made this famous saying possible, and it is no longer a 'famous saying'.
The gods show mercy to their believers not because they are very religious, but because they know that believers cannot do something, so they use it to show their strength.
In Yahui's personal opinion, the gods are also very selfish creatures, and they are not stupid enough to pay attention to the suffering of humans and other alien races every day; It's as if a weapons dealer would never ask the purchaser of a weapon what it was for, but only concerned with his own 'interests'.
Since it was late at night, only the leaves rustled in the dead of night, and under the towering trees were hard-working robots, this scene made Yahui feel quite strange.
It's true that the Treants aren't the hardworking race, but they shouldn't be so lazy, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to keep the race alive until now.
There are many hard-working guys in this world, and compared to the guys who work ten times harder than others, if they have been relying on external forces, they will definitely not be able to reach the point of self-reliance.
Maybe this is the special way of life of the tree people, and Yahui doesn't have the idea of interfering too much, he is not bored to the point of that.
Glancing at the real time on his portable terminal, it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night.
"It's almost time to sleep......"
Vina and Vera are on standby to recharge, ready for a possible battle tomorrow.
Salom and Saviara had also rested for a long time, and in Yahui's opinion, Shalom was just eating and sleeping, but Saviara probably fell asleep because of peace of mind.
The Inquisitor of the Cross Orthodox Church is not a simple profession, he needs to investigate, interrogate, and judge different followers, during which he is likely to be attacked, hunted down, and so on.
For heretics, heretical inquisitors like Saviara are explosives buried around them, ready to cause serious harm.
However, true devout believers will never question their own beliefs, and this paranoia is also a kind of insistence of those who are deeply involved in cults......
But even precious gold can be corrupted by aqua regia, and people's faith may not be so 'pure'.
This also means that a person with faith may do something he has never done and is forbidden to do for the sake of faith; It's like knocking off happiness's legs in order to leave happiness.
Otilia and Ariel also went to bed early because they had no other jobs, leaving Ahui alone on the wooden balcony to watch the night view of Abada.
Everywhere he looked, it was green.
A large number of trees and green leaves form the forest sea, and the undulating mountains not far away are the waves of the forest sea.
When Yahui entered this room just now, he smelled a smell, and once he went deep into the room, he would find that a special fragrance was getting stronger and stronger.
The source of this smell was actually the branches crisscrossing the room, not a man-made ornament, but something that existed in the body of the ancient tree species Foster; After thousands of years and nearly 10,000 years of growth and evolution, he has a completely different structure from ordinary trees and tree species.
The thick and sturdy branches in the room stretch out with leaf-like green paint, allowing the room to stay awake and clean without the need for air conditioning.
If you want to ask why Yahui pretends to stand on the balcony and watch the scenery deeply, it is not because he wants to understand life, nor does he want to express his emotions, but-
"Damn, eating too much......"
They eat a lot, and although the tree people are ordinary in all aspects except for longevity, they have a good level of cooking, and most importantly, all the dishes are fresh.
Freshly slaughtered beef, sheep and fish are delicious and have spices to mask most of the fishy smell; Fruits and vegetables that have been picked not long ago are made into salads and platters; There is also a sweet and delicious soup made from tree roots and herbs!
The above-mentioned dishes made Yahui, who has been running around and thinking about it recently, have a great appetite, so he accidentally ate a little more.
Salom could have magically slashed her swollen belly, which was like a comic book character, but Ahui didn't have that ability, and the [Church of God's Word] didn't have the ability to promote digestion......
"The next thing is to go to the Abyss Race's alien special zone, but I didn't expect to start a mutiny...... It's a bit similar to Morris's side. ”
As soon as Ahui thought of the Martian queen who lived in Maurice, the stomach ache worsened.
He didn't hate Jasmine, but the problem was that the girl was currently planning to come to Earth to marry him, which was an exaggeration anyway.
In addition, Yahui is also worried that Vina and Jasmine will have a conflict, after all...... Yahui doesn't want to see the people around him fight because of himself (in fact, he has encountered it many times, but most of them don't know him).
The god's 'blessing' is not a good thing, and Yahui still feels that this 'blessing' does more harm than good.
If the Son of God seems to outsiders to be the title of being blessed by the gods, then it is the beginning of misfortune for Yahui.
Of course, he also felt a little glad for this, without this 'blessing', there would be no Yahui now.
So Yahui's mood is tangled.
The water flows to the lower places, the people go to the higher places, time does not stop, and everything that Yahui has now is reality, something that has been obtained.
"Good evening, haven't you gone to bed yet?"
Uh-huh? Just as Yahui was immersed in his own world, a young man's voice sounded beside him.
The voice was still a little immature, reminding Yahui of a group of young believers he had met before.
They live in a small country torn by war, and the relief of the monastery is only a solution to their immediate needs, and the real trouble is the conflict of interest with other countries.
Such children can only rely on prayer and spiritual comfort, and even if they choose to fight in the face of the cruelty of reality, they will be frightened and unable to move under the intimidation of gunsmoke and artillery fire.
Unlike those children, Ulysses Pock Satan Rickel, the young king of the Abyssal Seed, has the opportunity to choose his life path.
"There's something to think about, so I'm not going to sleep yet; Yuli is, children have to go to bed early and get up early, so it's better to get used to it early. ”
"Yuri is Yu's nickname, please don't use it casually!!"
Seeing Yahui Muran's expression, Yuli, who was rubbing his head with his hands, pretended to be an adult and sighed.
"Forget it, Yu doesn't want to say anything more about this matter...... And ah! Yu Ke is already twelve years old! In Yu's country, at the age of twelve, he was able to go to the Labyrinth of Trials to challenge the first great difficulty of life! Prove yourself in this way! ”
"It sounds cruel, just as an eagle breaks its wings in order to make its young eagle strong and soars into the blue sky, or drives it out of its nest."
"Huh? Yu is not stupid, and Yu knows the species on the earth very well! An eagle breaks the eaglet's wings and pushes them off a cliff? It's not like that, it's just because the parents want to drive the eaglets away for the next round of breeding! ”
Yuri, who was staring at Yahui, said this, and at the same time put on a 'I'm smart', and sure enough, a little ghost is a little ghost.
"Ordinary people see the eaglet that has been driven out and fluttering off the cliff, but they have actually learned to fly, but they rely on the nest and do not leave."
“…… I also know this, I don't need to say it, it's just a bowl of chicken soup anyway. ”
"Chicken soup?"
"Something akin to a famous aphorism."
Yahui is well aware of the true information about the eagle.
For example, it is deceptive that the lifespan of an eagle is 70 years, and the average age of a bird of prey is 15 years;
As for the eagle's beak and plucking its feathers, this story is also not true. The eagle's beak is connected to the skull and is difficult to break; The feathers will be shed regularly to renew, and all of them will be self-defeating.
In addition, the wear and tear of the claws and beak during hunting, just as the sharpest knife will not remain sharp all the time, and it is impossible to age so that it hinders foraging; Thick feathers are better at resisting the wind and will not make flying difficult.
The knowledge collected by the human race has also spread to other races, and it seems that the saying that 'culture has no country' is not unfounded.
"Of course, Yu's words may be a bit exaggerated, although the trial labyrinth is dangerous, at least it won't be dead."
"It's dangerous enough! What the hell is a dead corpse! Is it really okay for a twelve-year-old to go to that kind of place? ”
"Please be quiet, don't wake up the others, okay? Yu didn't want to be seen as a troublemaker. ”
It's a shame that he can say this, in fact, Yahui has always felt that the little ghost in front of him is a troublesome existence, after all, he is the king of the abyss seed......
"But don't worry, Yuri, isn't everything you're going through now just a trial? Betrayed, you must return to your country and change the status quo. ”
Yu also knows...... After the death of his father, the group of rebellious ministers and thieves had already premeditated, but ...... My sister and mother shouldn't have been caught up in this mess. ”
Speaking of which, Yuri jumped directly onto the railing, and although he looked like a skinny child, he acted quite boldly.
With his slightly dark skin, immature arms and voice, heterochromatic pupils, and his pure black nails and a tail, he looked a bit like a young demon from the abyss.
"Originally, Yu thought that not having a conflict with those guys would prevent his sister and mother from being in danger and make the abyss more united; As a result, they didn't expect that they would blatantly sneak attack Yu! No! It should be said that the guys that Yu originally trusted were bought by interests! ”
"In this case, it means that the Abyss Seed has a lot of support for those coups, and even if you are sent to the people of the Abyss Seed, it may not be able to convince them."
"Your Excellency means that even if Yu returns to the Abyss Special Zone where he was forced to leave, he will be ignored by the people?"
"That's right, the coup and mutinist faction of the abyss species has the ability to buy your trusted subordinates and courtiers, so they also have the ability to create public opinion; A simple public opinion can turn you into the antagonist of the people of the abyssal race, and lies and gossip are the most convenient weapons that do not require bloodshed. ”
Yahui moved his muscles slightly, and then continued to explain
"Ordinary people are easily misled by public opinion, and they are easily 'popularized' and follow the crowd when handling intelligence, losing their subjective opinions, and being toyed with and applauded by public opinion controllers."
“…… Yu was a little confused......"
Saying that he didn't quite understand what Yahui was saying, Yuri's face was full of doubt.
"It's okay if you don't understand, it's not going to be that simple anyway."
It's not wrong to leave a problem that can be solved by talking, but Yuri is in a very awkward position.
He was mistaken by the people for being killed by the gods, and if he suddenly appeared, what kind of existence would he be assumed?
A puppet of the gods? Cowards who abandon the people? Or is it an emperor who has no loyalty?
To put it bluntly, the current Yuri lacks a righteous name, a righteous name that allows him to return to his country justifiably and punish those rebellious ministers and thieves.
"What are you doing with the others? ...... big night"
Dressed in a messy light pajamas, with one of her snow-white shoulders and collarbone exposed, Salom appeared at the entrance to the balcony.
"Woo!! There are no shameless guys! Dress Yu well!!! ”
Yuri, who had instantly hid behind Yahui, shouted, and could see that his black skin seemed to be dyed with a flush.
With a wry smile, Ahui walked over and pulled Salom inside, while sorting out her clothes.
"Hungry?"
"You really understand me!"
"Alas...... By the way, by the way, is Yuli coming? I'll make you something to eat. ”
Ahui, who was pushing Salom towards the kitchen, turned to look at Yuri, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Yu hasn't eaten human cuisine yet."
"Yahui's food is delicious!"
"Don't turn !!!"
Seeing Salom turn and jump in front of her, her already baggy pajamas became even more messy.
"Yu is not a womanizer!"
Looks like the young king needs to improve his posture!
