There are clouds in the Book of Purana, and at first, there is emptiness and nothingness all around, no color, no darkness. The giant serpent is connected with the sand, floating in this empty void.

The great tortoise Kulima, the incarnation of Vishnu, lay on the back of the serpent. On the back of the turtle, four mighty elephants carry a semicircular dome, and on this dome is the world.

At least, all the Mistaras who believe in the Sanskrit Sutra are like this, and the world is like this.

Camilla doesn't believe in these at all, and in the view of the Starch Spencer Druid, religion is a stratagon in the evolutionary tree, the fear of the unknown of the weak, and the strong will see through the unknown and find the answer.

That being said, the female druid acknowledges that religion can sometimes be exploited. Now, for example, she plans to use some of the myths of Mistara to deceive these superstitious locals.

In order to understand these myths, she had to enlist the "help" of several locals. Fortunately, they are very cooperative, just like the proverb goes, people who are naked have few secrets, and people with open skin have no secrets.

Now, she transfigures and uses the local shapeshifting abilities of the Starch Spencer Druid to transform her head into the shape of a white elephant. She put on a scarlet robe again, darkening the color of her skin, and now she looked not at all like an Atas beauty, but like some kind of half-human, half-beast monster.

She used this form to impersonate the apostle of Rudra, the Mistara god of hunting and nature, also known as the beast master, the archer, the aragod, and the three-eyed sky.

When the thin man found her, Camilla was in a temple to Loudra. The monks here were killed by the biogas she unleashed, and the Templars of the Witch King disguised themselves as them, wearing white scarves as a sign that they had taken a vow of silence and would never speak.

In fact, Camila ordered them not to show their faces unless necessary, lest they show their feet.

The thin man walked into the temple, he was scary-thin, and he was dressed in robes. The pure black leather coat and gray fur coat hung loosely on him, dangling from one place to another. And he was obviously a man of assets, for he wore delicate metal armbands on both arms, one silver and jade, and the other iron and stone. He wore a thin brass crown on his forehead and many rings on his hands.

"Brahma is great. The thin man spoke. "Are you the messenger of the great god Loudra, and you serve the Lord of the Beasts, the Archer, the Aragami, and the Three-Eyed Heaven?"

"Salute to your country, to your Tene. Camila said, but there was no disrespect in her tone, even a hint of annoyance. The druid's shape-shifting abilities can make her vocal cords sound anything. As for Mistara, it is not particularly difficult for the Grand Druids to learn.

"That's not why you're coming to me. Camilla said the Beastmaster Emissary disguised as one. "It's not enough of a reason to bother me meditating. Didn't the Bhagavad Gita say that you can be with your God by fearing your God and loving your God, and why do you have a messenger who disturbs God?"

The thin man hurriedly explained. "I heard that the messenger of the great god Loudra appeared in this temple, so I came alone from Bihar to seek guidance. My servants will offer incense and lotus flowers later, and the altar of the beast lord will always burn with incense. ”

"—Go on, Kshatriya. Camilla said, "What kind of guidance are you looking for?"

"You know that the festival of Ganish is coming, once every decade, the glorious colosseum of Tongguò commemorates the history of the gods defeating the scourge star. The kings of the northern states will gather in the city of Derry to fight for the honor of their kingdoms with their best fighting beasts. The thin man was silent for a moment, as if the next words were a little unspeakable. "I am the prince of Bihar, and I want to buy a beast, the big and fierce kind. ”

"There are clouds in the Segandha Purana, and among all the beasts, there is life. Camila said with the urge to laugh. "No matter what sins these poor beasts committed in their lifetimes, the fighting beasts are still cruel and contemptible. ”

"Is it not the best way to wash away sins by manifesting the glory of the gods?" said the thin man. "All the sacrificed beasts, their flesh and blood will be fed by the poor, and their souls will be reincarnated into new bodies. ”

"Maybe. Camila said as a priest in disguise. "But the beast master cannot help mortals for no reason, lest they encourage arrogance. Know that arrogance is the great enemy of mortals, and learn to be humble so that you can be blessed. ”

"Yes, yes, oh, I will present the Golden Honorary Beastmaster as a sign of my humility. The thin man said quickly.

"In that case," Camila said. "The beast master will give you help. But after I go to the Colosseum in Derry, do you agree?"

"Wait until then?" the thin man was stunned for a moment. "It's okay, anyway, this festival will last for two months. We are waiting for your good news. ”

The Bronze Hippodrome sits in the middle of the city of Derry, the city of all clans and the seat of the Maharaja. Each of the different states has its own territory in the city, as if a pie had been cut into several pieces. Each of the two realms has high walls and unique flags, each with its own architectural style and style, but they merge into one in the Bronze Arena.

Although said to be bronze, this arena was built of gold and silver. It stands majestically, just slightly lower than the Maharaja's palace, topped by an ornate golden dome that glows in the warm afterglow of the setting sun. Four-faced, six-armed figures, carved in stone or forged in black iron, peek out from one narrow window after another. On the huge silver facades, the huge metal doors were inlaid with precious stones, each facing a different part of the city of tribes, each with a pattern and etching of the colors of each state.

Camilla hides her image in an ascetic robe and blends into the arena. Numerous torches were lit by the Dhara servants, and metal obelisks stood around the bronze arena like elongated tusks arranged in rings. A large number of gamblers and poor people gathered around the arena, they were ragged and nourished, waiting for the free food to be distributed after the fight.

Statues of beasts that forever roar and salivate surround the arena, like some kind of guard.

Camilla walked into the arena unobtrusively, and she was now looking at the building much more spectacularly from the inside than from the outside. In the center of this bronze arena is actually a deep pit, well below the ground, covered with sand and gravel, and this is the place where the beasts fight. A fifteen-foot-high stone wall surrounds the field, and the seats arranged in a ring start at the top of the wall and rise in rows until they are higher than the entrance gate. It can accommodate 100,000 people.

The seats above are all tattered wooden chairs, but the chairs underneath are extremely luxurious and covered in fur. Each fur was made by peeling it off the body of a dead beast.

People enter the arena through passageways in all directions, and the place is almost filled.

According to tradition, before the fight begins, there is a theatrical performance to show the battle between the gods and the scourge.

A diminutive man dressed in a strange costume and many tinkling metal ornaments walked to the center of the arena, performed an unusual and unique dance, and then spoke in the tone of the Scourge. It is said that his lines are all from the poet Shegiral's "Ode to Belia", which is exactly what the real Calamity said at that time.

"Oh, heavens!" said the diminutive actor, making an exaggerated and arrogant expression. "Is this your decision?!

Another actor came to the middle of the arena playing the role of the noble brahmin, the chosen hero of the gods. He wields a sword that glows coldly, and the golden close-fitting armor sets off his perfect figure.

Instead of answering the Scourge's question, the "hero" began to dance and waited for his dance to finish before speaking. "Oh, Calamity, Demon Rider, Why do you still want to be obsessed with fighting against the heavens, why don't you stop this war?! If you continue to do evil, then you will be completely ruined, and you will never be reincarnated!"

The short actor vividly imitated the blasphemous words of the plague star thousands of years ago. "Oh, gods, this is war for you, it seems to me that it is just an ordinary struggle for survival! May I warn you, it is not me who has deliberately unleashed all kinds of terrible plagues to wreak havoc in this world! They are nothing but commonplace in my world, and the Mistaras are too fragile to die!

The brazen defense of the "Disaster Star" made the audience in the arena shout one after another, as if they were enraged. The "hero" danced and sang a hymn to the gods before he spoke normally: "Shut up, Calamity, you really don't want to repent?! You really don't want to accept the righteousness of Brahma!"

"You have no justice at all!" replied the actor of "Disaster Star".

"Ridiculous! Since the birth of the universe from the Brahman's egg, the heavens have maintained the justice of the world, and you will soon taste the iron fist of justice, Calamity!" replied the "hero" actor haughtily.

"Justice? hahahaha. "Calamity" looked up to the sky and smiled, and replied dismissively. "I have lived countless years, and what I despise most is your self-righteous justice. Do you know? I have witnessed how the Attas halfling civilization came all the way from a slash-and-burn people, mastered the technology, and achieved a great civilization. Do you know what's the secret to that? Evolution!"

"Evolution makes the halfling of Atas great!" "Scourge" shouted at "Hero". "Evolution has left the weakest of us out and those who survive to gain resistance to disease! And what about you Mistaras? It is ridiculous to say that you may have a longer history than Athas, but you have stayed at such a primitive stage of social development! Why? It is all because of the so-called justice of your gods, which has blocked the channel of evolution!"

The people in the arena shouted and screamed at the blasphemous words of the "Scourge Star", and they were enraged by this reversal of black and white. Camila didn't join the angry crowd, and in her opinion, the High Evolutionary was speaking the most sensible words.

Well said!Camila changed to a comfortable sitting position while cheering on the High Evolutionary in her heart. Your voice is still deafening even after thousands of years! Sue them, natural selection, survival of the fittest. It is your destiny to be conquered by the Attas.

"Do you know how a toddler learns to walk?" said the actor of "Disaster Star" continued to perform. "He had to learn how to balance from the constant falls, and how to use strength from the scars. It's as if a chick is going to be thrown off a cliff by its parents to learn to fly. ”

"The so-called justice of your gods has only turned you Mistara into swaddling babies! Even if you can overcome me today, one day, a stronger and more advanced civilization will find you. Destroy your infant civilization with the gods!"

The show enters the **, and the hero joins the audience to loudly condemn the evil of the calamity. The atmosphere reaches the height of the frenzy, and the two actors dance against each other, symbolizing a fierce battle.

After the performance, it was time for the Colosseum Competition. Each state will send its best beasts to the battle, the winner symbolizing the god's creatures, and the loser symbolizing the terrible monsters unleashed by the Calamity.

"The first game is about to begin!" shouted a loud announcer. "An adult Bengal tiger from Bihar!

As soon as the words fell, a terrible beast walked out of the pit to the bottom of the arena. It was a nightmarish creature with fluffy, bulky fur, blood-red eyes and striped mottled fur. Its mouth was wide open, and clear saliva was falling from its sharp teeth.

If Muhadi had been here, he would have seen that the Bengal tiger was not the same as the animal of the same name on Earth. The animal looked more like a cross between an overbred saber-toothed tiger and a cheetah, with legs thicker than a tree, and muscles beneath its mottled fur that contained strength and deadly grace. The beast let out a roar, and the audience boiled.

The announcer spoke again, "A strangled ape from the noblest state of Odisha, five years old and weighing twenty loads, has participated three times and won three times!"

On the other side of the Colosseum pit, another beast rumbled with its stubby legs, scanning the surroundings. The ape was not tall, but it had a wide body, an inverted triangular torso and a sturdy head. Its eyes were sunk under thick brow bones, its two jointed, muscular arms dragged through the sand of the arena, and its body was covered with brown hair, except for the black underarms. Even on the other side of the arena, Camilla could smell the beast.

"May the heavens bless their chosen fighters!" said the announcer, and the audience shouted excitedly. "Now, the beast fight has officially begun!"

The mad ape faced the tiger and let out a low roar from deep in his throat. The tigers of Bihar roared and ran towards it. Grains of sand splashed in the arena, turning the tiger into a yellow bolt of lightning. The mad ape waited, spreading its thick arms. Camila watched as the two beasts became entangled, tumbling in a ferocious scuffle. The audience was excited and applauded for the object of their support.

The two beasts parted as swiftly as they had met before, and the Bengal tiger rolled to the side and slowly circled, and Camilla saw that one of its forelimbs had been broken. It relied on its remaining three legs to stagger around its opponent. The ape didn't give it any flaws, it kept turning its body and facing the tiger head-on. There was a long, deep scar on the ape's broad chest, cut by the Bengal tiger's sharp teeth, but the strength and brutality of the mad ape remained undiminished. In fact, it looks even more furious.

The audience encouraged the two beasts to continue fighting in a deep, nasal voice, and the voice grew louder and louder. The tiger and the ape began to roar and scream, and let out a fierce roar. The wild ape alternates its legs, back and forth, and does a kind of creepy fast-step dance. And the tiger's mouth opened and closed up and down, dripping with blood-red saliva.

The sounds in the arena grew louder and louder, and the voices of the spectators made the golden dome and silver walls of the arena hum. The beast below went into a frenzy, and the Bengal tiger charged again, and the wild ape stretched out its long arms in response to the frenzied pounce.

The impact of the leap sent the ape back a few steps, but Camila saw that the tiger's teeth had bitten into the air, and the ape had wrapped his hands around his throat. The Bengal tiger frantically wrestled, and the ape kept rolling on the sand. Then a terrible screech roar was heard, and the tiger lay on the sand like a pile of tattered furs, its head strangely tilted to one side.

Supporters in Bihar let out a cry of frustration, while supporters in Olissa across the street were cheers and whistles. According to tradition, the people of Olissa will be seen as heroes, just like the heroes who defeated the Calamity in those days. The pelts of the dead beasts will be used to decorate their seats, and the flesh will be given to the beggars to eat.

Camila left the arena unhurriedly, and it was not until no Mistara could see her that she took off the hood of her red robe, revealing her true face and ponytail. At the same time, a plan had taken shape in her mind.

On this night, the prince of Bihar again rode gondola to the temple of Rudra. This time, Camilla's pretended to be a priest received him in a friendly manner.

"I understand your predicament. Camilla said, looking down at the ground, not daring to look directly at the face of the priest as a sign of respect.

"Yes, sir. My nation has been put to shame, and my Tern has been put to shame. The emaciated prince said. "We've lost back-to-back games in Colosseum. The world treats us as weak reptiles, our flags are no longer respected, and our names become a laughing stock. The road was full of fanatics who challenged the Bihars, who thought they were weak and deceitful, and that they were no longer favored by the heavens. ”

"I can indeed give you a powerful beast to help you win back your honor. Re-esteem your state and Tern. Camila said as a priest in disguise. "These terrible beasts, I found them from the sea of milk that surrounds the serpent of the Cosmos, and they are very powerful. Of course, it is also very precious. ”

"I will offer incense and offerings......" said the Thin Prince.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins. Camila said.

"What??," the thin prince was taken aback. "What's going on? I thought the beast owner didn't need money. ”

"The beast master doesn't need money, but his patrons do. Camila said. "If you are not willing to pay money, then Rudra will not bless you. ”

"What, this is a loss of conscience!" objected the prince. "One hundred thousand gold coins, Bihar is not rich!"

"Then make a compromise. Camila said, smirking sly. "One hundred and eighty thousand gold coins. ”

"Eighteen thousand is not the median of one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand!" objected the Thin Prince.

"Really? Maybe I'm not good at math. Camila said. "180,000, the lowest. ”

"150,000 is okay, I can't come up with any more money, they will tear down our bronze statues and divide up our farmland!" begged the prince.

Camila was silent, waiting for the other to take the bait.

"Well, 180,000 is 180,000. But the monster has to be powerful!" said the prince at last.

"No problem. The Starch Spencer sent the druid snapped his fingers lightly, and a terrible monster came out of the shadows.

The monster was sleek and roared. It is much larger than the Bengal tiger, with a pair of elongated yellow eyes, powerful muscles knotted under its dark gray fur, which has stripes and long, thick blue markings that line its flanks. Its upper teeth extend to its chin, and its claws are as sharp as knives.

"It's called the Destroyer Miè Bladetooth Tiger. Camila introduced. "It is one of the most fearsome predators I have ever found in the sea of milk. ”

This is a lie, of course, that the monster was created by the druids themselves, using the strange biotechnology of the Starch Spencer Druids. It was much larger than the average tiger, more than fifteen feet long, and its skull was two feet long. It's a miracle of bioengineering, and even ancient halflings couldn't have done it better in such a short period of time.

“...... It can see at night, wounds heal on their own, saliva is acidic, and claws are naturally poisonous. Camila introduced. "Do you see its ears? It can be rotated in all directions, and it can be imagined from afar. I promise you, this guy can tear the ape in half in three breaths. ”

"It's really, perfectly, it's perfect!" the prince of Bihar looked excited. "So beautiful, so powerful. God, if I venture to do so, we can train it like a Bengal tiger, right?"

"Of course, you'll be able to learn very quickly. ”

"Great, great, I want it!" the prince praised the beast.

"I'll give you six ruined tigers, three males and three females, so you can breed them. Camila said.

"Very good!" said the prince, who was pleased when he saw the goods. "This will surely wash away our shame. My Dhara servant will soon send you the money. ”

"Oh, one more thing. Camila added at the last minute. "Razor-toothed tigers are predators, and they need to hunt to survive. ”

"Huh?" the prince wondered. "But there are rabbits, sheep and other creatures in our field, and it will have food. ”

"The saber-toothed tiger comes from the sea of milk, and is not an extraordinary thing, so it does not eat anything else. Camila said. "But don't worry, I'll give you a small herbivore called the One-Legged Beast. They are the favorite food of the saber-toothed tiger. And this thing breeds very quickly, so you don't have to bother raising it. Just put them in the grasslands and farmlands. ”

"Yes, yes, that's great. The prince said.

It wasn't until the prince of Bihar had gone far that Camila reverted to her original form. The ponytail girl smiled smugly, using this silly prince, the plan was already half successful.

When the other half of it is finished, the Mistara will be completely devoid of the strength to resist.
