CHAPTER XXXVI
The night was quieter, and Dylan sat alone on the deck of the second deck of the ship.
He looked at the calm sea and thought about what had happened during the day. The North Sea Monster just left, he just opened his eyes and glanced at the fleet, and then calmly left the sea.
He could be sure that what was imprinted in the pupils of the North Sea Giant Demon at that time was his appearance as Li Quan in his previous life. Why is this happening? Could it be that in the eyes of the North Sea Monster, what is seen is not the appearance but the soul?
Soul, by scientific definition, is all life phenomena at various levels produced by organisms composed of proteins, DNA, RNA and other life macromolecules, which exist according to the metabolism of life macromolecules, cells, tissues, organs and the organism itself. The significance of giving the definition of soul science is to guide people to break down superstitions and correctly understand life and life phenomena.
But is this explanation true? Is the explanation of the soul, the universe, and space really correct based on the science of the 23rd century? Is the human perception of external objects their essence? If not, what would the real world look like?
What is a soul, and what kind of creature is a North Sea Monster?
He was so curious, he wanted to know how many incredible beings like the North Sea Monster were in this world. Where do they live, what do they look like, do they have intelligence?
Intellectual curiosity is a natural desire that human beings are born with. He prompts mankind to explore and seek all things in the world. Dylan is also because of his extreme thirst for knowledge, and he goes everywhere to find those incredible species.
North Sea Monster!
Perhaps, he was also an ancient life with high intelligence, and he also came to the sea out of curiosity. Just to leave the deep sea and see this scenery that is different from the world he lives in, and to leave his own home, just like Dylan, walking on an unknown road ······.
The rest of the voyage did not have any twists and turns.
Dylan spent more than ten days peacefully on the steamer, and finally reached the destination of the trip.
The American continent is located in the western hemisphere, and its physical geography is divided into North, Central and South America, covering an area of 42.068 million square kilometers. It is the only continent in its entirety in the Western Hemisphere. North and South America, bounded by the Panama Canal, are collectively known as America, also known as the "New World".
Blue sky, turquoise grassland.
Dylan walked on the land of America, took a deep breath of the pure, unpolluted air, and said, "This is a great place, but now, we are colonists." ”
"We have always been colonizers, and the whole world is our colony. Osborne said confidently: "Britain is completely saturated, and if you want to develop, you must naturally develop the New World." ”
Looking at the beautiful grassland in front of him, Dylan felt a little unbearable in his heart: "Colonization represents war and killing, how many people are there in this land? 100 million, 200 million, or more." How many people will die, and half is enough?"
"Why do we have to think about it? How many of these natives will die, and what does it matter to us. Human beings don't care about the life and death of their own kind, so why should we. Osborne pointed to the town in the distance and said, "Look, that's Jamestown." A small town founded by the nobles of Britain. In order to build this town, you know that they killed a few people. ”
Dylan glanced at the town a kilometer away, and standing here, he could clearly smell the smell of blood coming from the town. The Blood Clan's sensitivity to blood allowed him to judge that in this land, there were few tens of thousands of people spilled here.
Osborne went on to say to Dylan: "Five years ago, James the Navigator borrowed a sum of money with the intention of making a fortune by sailing, and after three months of drifting at sea, he discovered this new world. At first, he used the food and clothing he brought with him on the boat to communicate with the natives in a friendly manner. The natives traded gold and jewelry, which they could not eat or drink, for something cheap, and James made a lot of money. After making a fortune, he returned to Britain and bought a manor. ”
Not only did he pay back the money he borrowed to buy a boat, but he also became a member of Liverpool's upper echelons. But guess what... When he came to the American continent again, he brought with him not a lot of cheap goods, but a large number of warships and soldiers. He sold news of the New World to the state, and he became a nobleman in Britain. The lives that died in this land were all because of human cannibalism. And we... How many lives does our Bloodline kill each year? ”
Osborne's words made the atmosphere a little solemn.
Dylan never imagined that he would one day appear as a predator. For an ordinary person in the 23rd century, the world should be peaceful and beautiful, and even if something dark happens, it is only a rare case. It's just a shooting on TV, just a text on the Internet. But here, aggression, extermination, everything is naked. People speak civilized language, but they do brutal things.
"Let's go, don't think about it. I'll take you to see our new meeting point, the stronghold of our Dark Council. With that, Osborne took Dylan and mounted his horse.
The ship's brigade followed the two of them to the stronghold, leaving only the ship's crew behind.
"This is our stronghold?" Dylan looked at the town in front of him in surprise, no... This size should be said to be a small town.
Unlike the previous Welsh towns, there is an almost medium-sized city. In just five years, the Dark Council has built a sizable city here, which gives Dylan a new appreciation for the Council's strength.
After entering the city. As the crowd walked, the attendant next to them explained, "There are more than 50,000 people living in the city, most of whom are members of our council. The city is divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city council is where the adults live and work. In the outer city, most of them are adventurers and merchants who want to make a fortune. By the way, and the prostitutes they brought. ”
"Are there any people in the city who don't belong to our council?" Dylan asked curiously.
The escort lowered his head and smiled cautiously: "Of course, my lordship." After all, our people can't even cook, go to the toilet and chop wood by themselves, except for the necessary things such as fighting and building. And these merchants, who came to make a fortune, they brought with them a large number of slaves. It is all thanks to them that our lives are so convenient. ”
When you arrive, it's the inner city.
