Chapter 14: Learning Behavior (1)

"Mr. Clough, I don't think I'm very smart, but I'm not fooled by it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Levi picked the words away, "It's really wrong for them to kill your messenger without permission. But you're probably going to have other plans for sending this lowly goblin here. ā€

"Commander, no matter what my purpose is, it's not right for them to kill for money. Clough also knew what Levi meant, and immediately downplayed his shortcomings and strengthened his moral superiority, "If these villagers could treat others equally, without discrimination or prejudice, the result would be very different." Perhaps in the eyes of you humans, we strange aliens are as cheap as grass. But we don't see our fellow human beings that way. ā€

His voice rose sharply, "We also have feelings, and we also have dignity." They can do harm to an innocent person, and we can do justice to it. ā€

This jungle giant wizard is a high-sounding face at the moment.

The wild demons, goblins, and jackals in front of him also applauded one after another, and they probably felt something in their hearts. The pain of being discriminated against is not understood by the average person.

At this moment, Clough really felt that he was witty enough to prepare such a move in advance. Swear to God, he did this just to reduce some trouble. After all, the division is more famous, and the number of people who are picking up trouble for this will be reduced accordingly. But I didn't expect that it had become a lifeline for myself at the moment, and I was really careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.

Just when he was self-absorbed and patted with the aliens in front of him, and many villagers on the side were even more embarrassed, Li Wei's sudden words made him speechless.

Your words are indeed thought-provoking, but let me ask them. Levi also sighed heavily, "Do you know the name of the goblin? Could you please tell it now, if not, just say it as it is, and don't make it up at will." Since this goblin has such an important task as a herald, you must be very important, right?"

I didn't expect him to ask this, and Clough was just about to retort with a cheeky face, but Levi spoke again and cut off what he was about to say, "Okay, it's useless to talk about this matter too much." Let's talk about something more realistic. Here, I tell you very clearly, Mr. Clough. No matter what, I won't watch these villagers die at your hands. But I really have no interest in understanding your grievances. With these considerations in mind, I would like to be a mediator. ā€

"Mediator?" Clough, who opened his mouth to prophesy, was immediately attracted by these three words, "what do you mean by that." ā€

Levi did not answer him, but turned his head and looked at the villagers in the opposite wall, and he exclaimed, "Friends of Rogue Village, as I have just said, I intend to be a mediator between you and this Mr. Clough. Please think carefully about my next suggestion. From your statements and those of this Mr. Clough, I personally believe that the crux of the matter, that Mr. Bancroft's relics, should indeed be given to this Mr. Clough, who should then give them to his master, Wizard Gwen......"

As soon as he said this, there was a cry of mourning inside the wall.

The villagers of Rogge began to weep over their fate, either lamenting their greed and cruelty, or scolding Clough for his shamelessness, and many more lamented the coldness of human feelings. They have no entanglement with Li Wei, so they don't blame Li Wei for not saving him when he sees death. But when I think of my tragic fate, I can't help but feel sad.

Levi's left side.

Hiding behind Angus and the others, Gnavier grabbed her father's arm, her delicate body trembling. Infected by the atmosphere, the girl tried very hard not to let herself cry.

In contrast, Sylvestr, who she relied on, looked calm.

ā€œ...... However, there is a but. ā€

Levi looked at their crying and crying, it was a black line. He was only halfway through his words, but he didn't expect that the glass hearts of these people had broken to the ground.

"But, I think this Mr. Clough really has no bottom line. In any case, it would be a bit too much to destroy your village like this. Not to mention, he also killed innocents indiscriminately. Even if you are at fault, these actions are all breaking the bottom line. So, my plan of mediation is that you hand over the relics to Mr. Clough, but he must withdraw his troops and promise that he will not trouble you again for this matter. That is, from the moment the agreement is reached, the matter is considered to be over. ā€

"However, even if you do not accept this mediation plan, I will keep you safe for the time being." But I have no grudge against Mr. Clough myself, so I will not be an enemy of him. Just kindly ask him to withdraw from the army, and then I will stay in the village for a short time until your reinforcements arrive. If you need to get the word out, then I can help you too. But I beg your pardon, my brothers and I have something to do, and we really can't stay here for long. What happens after that, that's none of my business. ā€

After Levi finished speaking, he looked at Clough on the right, "How do you feel about my suggestion?"

After careful consideration for a while, Clough could only sigh helplessly, "It's not unacceptable. As long as I'm sure that the relics of the Patriarch are genuine, then I don't have to worry about them. And, I promise you, Lord Commander, that I won't trouble them again in the future. As long as these blind guys don't mess with me again. ā€

After he gave his answer, Levi looked forward again, "Mr. Clough has accepted my mediation proposal. I don't know what your plans are for you, friends of Rogue Village?"

The answer to Levi was still only a whisper.

Inside the wall, the villagers who were gathering around the high platform seemed to be very divided on this issue, and they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

Just like just now, but on the other side, Saves was a little confused, and was the first to speak: "What do you still think? Do you still want to be dragged down by that thing? Don't forget what Aunt Thea told us before she died." She said the secret behind it may be valuable, but its very existence is more like a disaster. Aunt Xia has sacrificed two legs for it, and her master is also unsure of her life and death, and everyone look at what we are now. Enough, really enough, it's better to give someone else to enjoy a treasure like this......"

The gate of the fence was finally opened.

When the villagers came out, they brought out a very heavy object.

It is a huge round mouth and wide belly tank.

It can be more than two people tall, and the diameter of the cylinder mouth is more than three meters, and it looks like it can accommodate three or four people to bathe in it.

But this tank, in addition to being large, is mediocre.

Not only is the production extremely rough, but the surface is not decorated without any patterns, and the texture is also very ordinary. It seems to be just a little bigger, and the rest is no different from a normal water tank.

Because it was too heavy, the tank was still pulled out by car.

Like normal people, as soon as he saw that this group of villagers had brought out such a thing, Clough's face changed when he stayed at the gate with Levi, "Are you kidding me?"

Levi looked at the vat and became a little curious.

In fact, not only them, but most of the people gathered at the door at the moment did not know why, and suspected the identity of the tank. Even most of the villagers in Rogue Village were puzzled.

One of the boys in the crowd asked curiously to the adults around him, "Isn't this the jar used to light the sacred fire when praying to the gods, and I have spit into it?"

This whisper was summed up at the moment when Sivis violently separated the people in front of him, and then smashed the hammer into the vat in public.

In the "hum" of gold and stone, the vat was torn apart.

The things hidden in it are finally seeing the light of day at this moment.

At this moment, staying in the front row of the crowd, Levi's eyes widened.

He saw that there was something shiny hidden in the cracked tiles of this large vat, which seemed to be some special piece of metal.

Unable to help but be curious, Levi squatted down, picked up a large tile, and took a closer look. He moved along the edge and carefully crushed the seven or eight centimeter-thick tiles. The contents of the inside quickly cleared the clouds and saw the blue sky, and sure enough, it was a metal piece the size of a page.

It has a deep silvery-white color with a heavy metallic sheen. On its smooth surface, there are some images and words engraved with delicate and concise lines, which are more distinct due to the pitch-black color. There is content on both sides of the square, but one side is mainly image-based, and the other side is mostly text.

Weighing the weight of the metal piece, Levi found that although it was as thin as a cicada's wing, it was actually not light.

Looking at what Levi was holding in his hand, Clough on the side also widened his eyes. He was three meters tall, and he immediately squatted down and began to rummage through the tiles on the ground.

It's a pity that although he is tall, he doesn't have Levi's strength. When you find the tile with the metal piece buried, you have to smash it to the ground to get a glimpse of it.

After getting a piece in his hand, the wizard master was excited, and couldn't help but say, "That's right, that's right, this is indeed the Golden Page of Cankus." Sure enough, it's a relic of the patriarch......"

Hearing Clough's approval, Sives, who was still holding a sledgehammer, also spoke up, "This is what Aunt Thea left behind." Listen to her, these gold pages hide a huge secret. Only those who possess great wisdom can see what it hides. It can answer many, many questions, such as 'why people are human', 'why are witches born?'......"

This man with a cold face has an inexplicable face at the moment.

Due to his own level of knowledge, he didn't even know much about what he was saying. But for the sake of explanation, he still repeated some of Xia's original words.

For Sives, these pieces of metal were just something that didn't matter what was noticed.

Like him, the villagers of Rogue Village share this view.

In that case, the woman Xia didn't understand them thoroughly. The patriarch handed these to her, and she was really blind. Sure enough, Master Gwen was the most suitable person for them. Clough was not too panicked, and held the Cankus gold page tightly, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Levi, who was on the ground with him, was stunned at this time.

"That's not true, is it?"

With doubts, he looked at it carefully.

After confirming that it was correct, Levi only felt thousands of grass and mud horses whizzing through his mind.

And what does this piece of metal in his hand record?

It's just a seemingly ordinary thing.

It is to the effect that a ship carrying goblin slaves is wrecked by the wind and waves at sea and drifts to a huge uninhabited island.

By the time the island was discovered hundreds of years later, tribes of goblins had spread to every corner of the island, from the warm seaside forests to the cold snow-capped mountain cliffs.

In contrast, the rats that drift to the island in boats with them are only found in some of the warm forests near the coast.

Staring at it again, Levi snatched the piece of metal from Clough's hand, despite the objections.

Then, the confusion on his face became even heavier.

This sheet of metal, which also tells the story of a thing, seems to be a sailing experience.

Roughly a wanderer on an isolated island who adopted a monkey due to loneliness on the island.

Under his tutelage, the monkey learned to crack open shells with stones. Later, the man was rescued by his companions. Before leaving, he let the monkey go. A year later, when he walked on the island again, he suddenly found that all the monkeys on the island had learned this ability.

Seeing this, Levi muttered those words again - "The reason why people are human".

"It can't be what I thought it would be, would it?" he looked stunned.

If he wasn't mistaken, Levi felt as if he had discovered the secret on the metal sheets.

To others, these may be just two interesting facts, but to him who knows animal behavior, they have a very special meaning.
