Chapter 59: The Nature of the Covenant of All Souls

Looking at the statue in front of him that is quite sacred under the light of the sun, recalling the story just told by the sacrifice, the white wolf can't help but reverie, of course he will not treat these religious stories as historical facts, but behind these stories can often reflect some things that have happened, such as the war that has happened between various ethnic groups, and the so-called dark creatures, for example, should have a certain degree of credibility.

As for the legend that the fox god comes from the sun, the white wolf is naturally skeptical, he thinks that maybe the so-called fox god is just a powerful fox, worshipping power, and worshipping powerful things as gods is really ordinary, and the gods of other races may also be a relatively powerful individual, and as a result, because of their strong strength, they can do things that others can't do, and they are easily mistaken for gods.

But this is just the conjecture of the white wolf, he has not seen these gods, let alone evidence to prove the origin of these gods, and he is now with the help of the fox god, without the fox god sign on his tongue, he probably will not be so courteous by the fox clan, and it would be a little too ignorant to say some disrespectful words, so he didn't want to say anything, in the face of the reverent sacrifice, he just nodded, vaguely expressing his agreement.

"So this Covenant of All Souls still exists, can you give me a more detailed introduction?" It was not the first time that the White Wolf had heard the word Covenant of All Souls, the last time he heard it was when he said goodbye to the priest and the two bodyguards, it sounded like a treaty that spanned several races, and it felt very lofty to hear the name, and he wanted to know more about it.

"Yes, the Covenant of All Souls is an oath made by the gods, it will never decay, it has been known from time ago that it has always existed now, and in fact, when the guests first came to our village, I couldn't leave because I had to go on some routine related to the covenant. The priest then introduced the white wolf to the matter of the Covenant of All Souls.

There are currently dozens of races that have joined the Covenant of All Souls, each with their own gods, and the tribes of the Covenant are connected to each other through a medium called "Lingwen", and each tribe of the Covenant holds a small meeting once a year and a general assembly once every three years.

The annual meeting just ended not long ago, when the white wolf arrived, this small meeting was just in the final stage, the small meeting was mainly to exchange the life of the various souls, and to share their own information, the leaders and priests of each race will use the "spiritual text" to transmit the message at a long distance, the content of the message comes from the news channels of the various races, and share some things related to the covenant, such as whether there are new threats appearing, what new races plan to join the covenant and so on.

The triennial congress needs to be attended by a person in charge of each clan, and the congress is held in turn among the various ethnic groups of the covenant, in fact, it was held in the fox village 13 years ago, and there are still two years before the next congress, in fact, not all the conventions are held in a certain ethnic group, and there are examples of conventions held outside the place where the ethnic group lives, but such things rarely happen.

At the General Assembly, it was discussed whether or not to allow a new race to join the Covenant, and all the communities had to agree before the new race could be authorized to join. The Assembly also had the function of punishing the betrayers, and if the evidence was conclusive, the groups that violated the covenant would be expelled from the covenant.

"At first glance, it sounds like a fairly powerful alliance, but it's actually a loosely structured organization with very little binding on its members. After listening to the sacrifice's explanation, the white wolf gave his own evaluation of this covenant in his heart.

Starting from the three consensuses, all ethnic groups are equal, do not interfere with each other, and do not fight each other, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is just a multilateral non-aggression treaty, and this alliance does not stipulate detailed obligations for each ethnic group, nor does it give a guide to action against foreign invasion.

The white wolf felt that these three consensuses should be followed by at least a consensus of the same hatred and hatred, which could be regarded as the rudiments of an alliance, that is, after a group in the covenant was attacked, the other groups had the obligation to send troops to help, at least not to assist the attacker.

Moreover, these three consensuses are inevitably too vague, and when the question arises, how to define whether they violate the consensus? If there are personal relations between some ethnic groups between two ethnic groups, does it count as interference in internal affairs? These vague consensuses do not seem to be able to give an answer.

Let's talk about the annual meeting, and the triennial meeting, the so-called small meeting is an exchange meeting for exchanging information, and there is no right to make resolutions, while the three-year general meeting requires the unanimous consent of all members to make resolutions, which is a bit too efficient, and I am afraid that there is no ability to respond in time in case of emergency.

The sacrifice did not know that the very sacred covenant of all souls in his mind had been reduced to a low-end existence by the white wolf, and he was still explaining the history of the covenant of all souls to the white wolf with great interest, the white wolf did not show impatience, and listened patiently, and history did confirm his point of view, when those "gods" were still there, the covenant of all souls could still run very smoothly, and from time to time new groups joined, there were very few people who violated the covenant, and the punishment could be properly executed, since the "gods" After no longer appearing and disappearing from the people's realization, the conference gradually became an ornament, and the new groups joined even rarer, and there was not even a new member in the past hundred years.

"All in all, that's it. The priest seemed to have a dry mouth, and finally stopped the introduction.

"I'm really grateful for you to tell me this, but I'm here this time because I want to find you with something other than to pay homage to the fox god. The white wolf thanked the sacrifice and changed the subject.

"What's the matter? We will try our best to accommodate the customer's request. The priest replied in a sincere tone.

"Actually, it's like this...."The white wolf recounts how he lost the dragon egg, how he met Momiji, how he confirmed that the dragon egg thief was a member of the fox clan, and told the priest that he wanted to catch the thief who stole the dragon egg

"You mean, we have our people who have taken your dragon eggs?" the priestess repeated what the white wolf had just said to her, and from the tone of her voice, she didn't seem to believe what the white wolf said.
