Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Great Conspiracy of the Egger Clan
Hadu could never have known that this "good brother" beside him was ready to stab him twice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, the Egger clan was preparing for this day as early as Sitimud's visit to the grasslands, but a lot of things happened in the meantime, and their plans were delayed, and they didn't encounter a good time like this "Shin'ne-Nu" re-election leader, so they just didn't take action.
It should be noted that the Egger clan also has many "wealth plundering" abilities like Hado, but it began to break from Sidimud's generation, and it was not until Prissefud's generation that the ability was regained. This is also why they can uniquely come out of the still barbaric two river basins and create their own mulberry farming civilization. But when it comes to their predatory abilities, it's not so pretty. Unlike Hado's "Group 6", the Iger clan is one of the main subjects of the "Group 2", and the main content of the experiment is "the long-term genetic performance of a particular group after gaining the ability to 'plunder wealth'". As a result of the long-term experiment, the offspring will inherit a portion of the ancestor's abilities, and then the Wealth Plunder Council will vote to determine the extent of the remaining abilities. And the wisdom of the Iger clan has long retained the habit of recording the ability of contemporary "wealth plundering". Each generation of clansmen who have gained power will be elected as the patriarch after showing their ability characteristics, and will be given the ancestral codex to better understand the "wealth plundering" ability and what their predecessors have done with these abilities.
Due to the slight differences in the abilities they acquired, these chiefs would conduct certain predatory experiments in a targeted manner, and the internal and external plundering behaviors would be described in detail, especially for some extremely important strategic moves, which would be recorded in the Codex. Each generation of patriarchs does not necessarily have the ability to "plunder wealth", but they will keep the codex left by their predecessors intact and pass it on to their descendants who have the ability to plunder. When writing their own codex, the patriarch who has the ability will also edit the experience of his predecessors according to contemporary technology to prevent the previous codex from being too old and being damaged by corrosion, mold, moisture, insects, etc. However, for the patriarchs who do not have the ability to plunder, the Iger clan stipulates that they cannot check these codexes - those who have not obtained the ability are generally curious, confused and disgusted by the so-called "ability", if they are allowed to see the information recorded in the codex, they may feel sympathy and pity for those who have been plundered of their wealth or groups, and even affect the plans and programs prepared for so many years.
Take Hado and "Shin'ne-Nu", for example.
That year, Sitimud had a long talk with Hado, and the pottery firing technique was used as a benefit, which opened the door to "Shin'ne-Nu", which also led to the advanced rune system and wood chip counting method (yes, the color block hundred decimal counting method). At that time, the predecessors of the Egger clan left a codex, asking their descendants to find a rich land for future generations to reproduce, which must be surrounded by natural hazards in front and behind, must have sufficient fresh water and forest resources, and at the same time have a vast plain suitable for farming and building dwellings. The situation in the location of the steppe tribe was indeed in line with the requirements of these predecessors, and he also successfully approached the leader of the steppe tribe, Hadu, and Sidimud began his layout.
After sorting out the "abstract painting" codex left by his ancestors in runes, he also wrote down what he had seen and heard in the steppe tribes:
"I, the 62nd generation grandson of the Egger clan, Sidimud Wattle Egger, inherited the ancestor and herdsmanship, Dingqian Sikun, and the ink is detailed, and the rest of this handwritten record is recorded to tell thousands of long generations;
Viewing 'Xinfu', being content with grass stems, hiding in the mountains, good commanders, but the hearts of many people are empty, they don't know the geometry of the road ahead, and they don't worship the things of heaven and earth.
This 'Hadu' is lacklustre and evil, and his people are innocent and uninhibited, so they should not be restrained, but they can be declared brothers and brothers, and they can be liked, so that they can listen to and recognize it;
First of all, looking for a feng shui terrace, the rest of the life, I expect this time to be hard, the body is not much to do, and it is okay to take 'Hadu' as the main plan;"
Here's a summary of "Shin'ne-Nu" by Sitimud, followed by his plundering against Hadu with his predatory abilities:
"One said, if they plunder their own people;
two words, avoid it for a long time;
Three narratives, may it be a fine painting of the moat;
Four words, it is difficult to know numerology;
Wubai, suppressing his life will be grateful. ”
Translated in modern Chinese, it means:
"1. The target of the plunder, 'Hadu', will not be able to launch any form of plunder against the Iger clansmen;
2. 'Hadu' will unconsciously hike away from the grassland tribes;
3. During the hiking, 'Hadu' will record every mountain range and river he has walked through in detail;
4. The difficulty of 'Hadu' in searching for the meaning of his life will increase extremely;
5. When the life span is approaching, the level of 'wealth plundering' possessed by 'Hadu' will be greatly inhibited. ”
The first three decided that Hadu could only watch the development of "Nil-lo" and could not easily merge into "Shin'ne-Nu" with a plunder, and also explained why Hadu wanted to run out and wave whenever he had time, and it was still a wave for several years, and he would record great rivers and mountains along the way.
It must be said that Sitimud does not have the "all-round" predatory ability of Hado, who can only "construct" "concrete actions" through plunder. This limitation of the predatory ability makes the scope of Sitimud's predation must be accurate to the individual, and it is necessary to know enough about the person to be able to successfully activate the ability. And Hadu's experience was there, and before Sitimud could ask a few words, he told all the nonsense about himself and the situation of "Shin'ne-Nu".
In addition to recording the layout of his plunder Hadu in the Codex, Sidimud also focused on the sigil system and the wood chip count, saying that these two inventions were definitely important ways for the clan to record in the future. Prissefud, who obtained his codex, was also convinced, and not only further standardized and expanded the runes, but also improved and innovated the counting of wood chips—from the original simple addition group calculation, to the ability to perform multiplication group and division group calculations.
As for Prisseft's inheritance of predatory ability, it is also a modification of Stimud's ability: as opposed to "concrete behavior", Prisseft can only "construct" "vague behavior" through predatory ability. This was more difficult than Sitimud had been, and it took more thought to imagine how they could get their ultimate benefits.
"Shin'ne-Nu"'s "Acquired 'Wealth Plunder' Chance".
As early as around the 30th generation of the Egger Clan, the Egger clan found that certain races were more likely to obtain the "wealth plundering" ability than other human groups, and that this ability would only become more valuable in the years to come. In the 41st generation of the Egger clan, the patriarch at that time found a small tribe with strong combat effectiveness and a high chance of plundering ability, and after 9 generations of layout, finally annexed this tribe, as a result, the chance of the Iger clan's plundering ability increased from every 7 generations to one owner of plundering ability every 5 generations.
In other words, Hadu is not the target of the Egg Clan, "Shin'ne-Nu" is. Although after more than 30 generations of research, the Egger clan has not figured out that the "wealth plundering" ability selects the ability holder according to the rules, but according to the intuition of "appearing once, there will be a second time", it is indeed feasible to find and merge people with a high incidence of plundering ability. It can be found that from Sitimud to Anderkukod to Prissefud, the Egger clan has increased the chance of an ability to appear to one person every 2 generations - in fact, this time it was even more lucky, Prisefud's brother Owokukod is also a power owner, and his ability is "using the ability to 'disintegrate' and 'actions unrelated to the clan'". And because of this more difficult ability, it is impossible for them to sit on the position of patriarch, but fortunately, they also understand the principle of brothers working together to make profits, and they are also using their plundering ability to create a more suitable living environment for the clan, so there is no need to argue about the priority of you and me.
From this, it can be seen that the Iger clan prepared a feast for Hadu: Prisseff mobilized his ability to "construct" a scene of "Hadu regaining the power of the leader and destroying the high-level remnants of the old system in one fell swoop", which actually allowed Hadu to spontaneously dissolve the top of the tribe, so that the Iger clan could take advantage of the situation. The boundary between "concrete" and "fuzzy" needs to be explained here: for Prisseff, he did not know any process or link of the "chief re-election ceremony", nor did he know the method of judgment and the right to choose in this ceremony, nor did he make any inquiries about the ceremony, and on the whole it was "a blur". And in this blur, there is already something that can be roughly discerned, and this is what Prisseford is able to construct.
The inheritance of the Egger clan also specifically discusses the situation of "plundering and counterattacking": because it is not clear what the actual ability of the owner of the plundered ability is, then when plundering, even if the plunder is successful, there is a possibility that there will be a counterattack due to paradoxical reasons, which will lead to very troublesome results. In order to prevent problems of one kind or another, Prisseff used a more conservative method of suggestion rather than a radical method of instigation to "persuade" Hado. With this hint and the simultaneous launch of a pre-conceived plunder scenario, the loot was successful in one go, and Prisseff also gained +11,4256 Kindness and +14,0000 Malicious Will, as for the next step, it depends on Hado's performance.
If, in the best way to proceed, Hado gains the position of leader, and then slaughters the former higher-ups, leaving the Shin'ne-Nu people unreliable, then the "Nil-lo" can gradually encroach on the other party's territory until it is completely annexed, and Hado will probably be too disappointed with the failure of the system reform to flee the country.
If it doesn't go well, for example, if the symptoms of plundering and backlash occur, then it's a big deal to fight head-on - even if there is no more information spying, one thing is obvious to the Iger clan, and that is that when the leader is re-selected, all the capable, physical, and intelligent clansmen will gather in the core area of the tribe, and the outer front line of the tribe will be unguarded, and then only Owokukod will lead the troops to ambush there - he can easily "disintegrate" The offensive of the Shin'ne-Nu" troops, including attacking, retreating, and flanking on both flanks, can be easily resolved.
After 80 arduous treks, Hadu and his team finally arrived at the original camp in the valley of the two rivers - this place has long been deserted, only dilapidated tents and sandbottles are left on the ground, and everywhere is a mottled flood soaking appearance, and the original human tribes that lived here are basically gone. Hadu did not rest long in this oasis, but hurried to "Shin'ne-Nu", and as he passed the delta camp of "Nil-lo", Prisseff pretended to be kind to say goodbye to Hadu, and Hadu went back on his own.
In fact, the Iger clan's calculation is still wrong: in fact, in "Shin'ne-Nu", there is only one high-level person, and that is Hado himself, so the so-called idea of "slaughtering the old high-level" cannot be implemented at all—there is no object to execute. Moreover, no matter how experienced Hadu was, he was not an inexperienced child, and as soon as he heard that Prisseford had similar abilities to him, he was thinking about experimenting with the state of plundering the other party. When he came to the "Nil-lo" camp after crossing the sea of blood, and then greeted Hado, he revealed to the other party during the banquet that he had obtained super powerful natural abilities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and strong winds, and then he was very keenly aware of the fierce light in the other party's eyes, and immediately launched a plunder against Prissefud, "plundering the memories he just heard about Hado's related natural abilities." Hado's first attempt at memory looting, and it was a success: after all, it was a secret conversation between the two of them, and he brought up the earth-shattering sights of his encounters with volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and strong winds - and the other party was as interested as the previous one - the only difference was that Hadu did not reveal that he had plundered those natural abilities.
And after he plundered Prisseff's memory, he was immediately pulled into the space of consciousness, and finally, the settlement that he had not seen for decades began:
"Your difficulty level is 13 and your skill level is 12;
After this settlement, the changes in the environment you are currently experiencing have been reset. ”
Seeing the environment change and reset, Hadu suddenly felt relieved: after so many years, he finally didn't need to stay outside all day to prevent natural and man-made disasters from hitting the tribe. Then he checked the accumulation of good and evil values, and found that the good and evil values themselves and the usefulness of the two levels were still not explained, so he didn't look at them anymore.
And when he came out of the space of consciousness, he found that Prisseff's face was very strange—it looked like a blue from a distance, but it was sallow when it looked close, his cheeks were very white, and his lips and forehead were black. He also thought that the other party was tired of traveling, so he didn't stay too long and hurried to lead the team on the road.
This is actually the symptom of "plundering and backlash" on Prissefud's side: since Hadu no longer needs to stay in the outside world and not return to the tribe, Sitimud's layout of "hinting at his frequent tribes" is useless, and the follow-up layout of the Egger clan cannot be implemented - even if Hadu solves the problems within the tribe, he will only stay in the tribe, and he will not have any feelings of loss and wandering the world as they think.
However, Prisseff quickly adjusted his mood, after all, he found that the reduced goodwill value was more reflected in the ordinary people of the "Shin'ne-Nu" clan, and the accumulation of goodwill points on the so-called high-level tribe after the plunder did not decrease, which showed that the plan could continue to be implemented, but it was no longer up to any one party to control how far it could go.
On Hadu's side, he rode west along the blue sea, and soon came to the north of the new site of the tribe, and roughly observed the situation here, and found that the village still existed, and even had torches, but there was no clansmen. Climbing up a hill, you can find that the core area of the tribe is full of people, and everyone wants to run there to compete in martial arts.
Even at the age of 57, Hadu's physical fitness has not declined significantly, but more and more reflects the state of being old and strong. When the hunters reach adulthood, they are selected to be assigned to positions that are more suitable for them, and after they have established a certain number of merits, a second selection is made to determine who will be promoted. The main form of this promotion and selection is to conduct armed competitions and hunting competitions, but the degree of bloodiness is quite high, and it is not suitable for promotion after the unification of the grassland tribes, so it is simplified and safeized by Hadu into an entertaining fighting force.
Of course, Hado wanted to participate in the race of the whole clan - not only to "regain the crown of leader", but the point was that he had been either busy with government affairs or diligent in going out for so many years, and he simply did not have enough time to participate in the entertainment activities of the tribe, which was one of his regrets for many years - since he had such a good opportunity this time, of course he wanted to have a good time. As for what Prisseffud was talking about, Hadu didn't think it was necessary: he couldn't wear protective gear when he was fighting anyway, and who would recognize him as an old man without clothes—let alone that late.
That is, with this kind of playful thought, Hadu rode comfortably, and took it towards the core of the tribe one by one, and passed through many checkpoints along the way, but the other party saw that he was followed by heavily armed guards, and they all thought that he was the old leader of the tribe, so they let him go directly. In this way, Hadu went to the horse circle and settled down, and went with the guards to start from the most basic martial arts arena and climb to the high platform step by step.
At the right time, the strength of the Egger clan had quietly approached.
