"My old friend, the Egger clan has gone through so many ups and downs, and finally can't resist the twists and turns of the years. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Due to the various benefits brought by the long-term reliance on predatory ability, our clan has begun to enter a state of overall degradation. ”

"Once upon a time, we of the Iger clan were also the overlords of the land, and we have greatly modified the physique of our people, so that they are not harmed by external forces, and they are not aged by the passage of time, and in their hands mammoths and saber-toothed tigers are as fragile as children's wooden toys. But this strength eventually became the fuse that broke the clan: the pride and complacency prevailed in the clan, and the arrogant clansmen looked above the top and didn't care about anyone, which led to a lot of fighting in the clan, but because no one could help anyone, it didn't cause too many internal problems. ”

"The main problem is from the outside. ”

"Ten thousand years ago, the elders of the Egger clan were attacked by another clan, the Zikon clan, and because of their high self-esteem, the clansmen who underestimated the enemy were defeated in the first round of temptation, and were slaughtered by the other party, and the population of the clan was not one in ten. Only then did the clan elders discover that this Zikon clan also had great powers, and the other party had found a way to restrain our clan's ability. After this war, our people's vitality was greatly damaged, and they could only escape from their original residence and drift all the way to the Lianghe Valley. ”

"After many inquiries, the clan elder finally learned that the Zikon clan was one of the tribes that our clan had bullied. In that era of insufficient food and clothing, once the other party gained a powerful ability to plunder, of course, the first time to launch a war of revenge against our people - this is the evil fruit that the people themselves planted and then devoured. ”

"After this battle, our clan realized the truth that 'if you have great strength, you must be kind to others', and you will spend 10,000 years with this thought. ”

"In the past 10,000 years, our clan has acquired a variety of plundering abilities, such as those who have 'constructed' 'things related to the clan' like myself, those who have 'constructed' and 'things related to future generations' like our predecessor Si Timud, and there have also been 'destruction', 'damage caused by natural disasters', 'retrospection', 'environmental changes caused by climate change', 'reversal', 'things unrelated to the clan', etc. ”

"These abilities provide a rare opportunity for clan building, and because of the long-term ability to produce predatory ability gainers, this power is not regarded as a divine power in the clan, nor is there no brainless worship and awe, but it is treated as a normal thing. This valuable thinking has led to research on predatory capacity, and some results have been obtained. ”

"First of all, we have come to an assumption based on the changes in predatory capacity over time: the predatory ability shows a trend of 'balance adjustment' between generations. For example, the 34th patriarch Smauerli Egger, whose ability to 'shape' 'animal-related buildings', observed the habits of ants and created complex and practical underground palaces for his people.

And because this ability is so useful to the clan, by the time of the 35th generation of Patriarch Dake Egger, the plunder ability became extremely difficult to use, in order to 'eliminate' "things that do not exist in the clan". This capability requires not only a strong proficiency in the definition of predation, but also a very clear definition of 'non-existence'. In his early years, Patriarch Dack's ignorance of the definition led to a very troublesome disaster for the clan: he created the 'non-existent' and 'powerful beasts' of the clan through his predatory abilities, which he intended to use to fight the nearby herd beasts, but he didn't want this powerful beast to disobey Dark's orders and kill in the clan camp. It took a lot of repression to kill the beast, and it also caused a lot of casualties among the clansmen. The predecessors expressed great remorse for this incident in their codex, and later demanded that all the people of the clan be educated in a broad theory of basic definitions in order to prevent such a situation from happening again. ”

"After Dark, the 36th generation patriarch Osh Iger has returned to his 'normal state', and he is able to 'disintegrate' 'natural creations that have nothing to do with the clan'. This power has become extremely powerful again, and the exact way to use it is simple: use it in multiple nearby areas to disintegrate mountains into plains, purify swamps into ponds, and then have your people camp in these places. ”

"Due to the peaceful use of the ability, there were no accidental casualties to the clansmen, and the weakening of the plundering power of the 37th generation patriarch was not so severe. This leads us to believe that the predatory ability changes according to the law of one strong and one weak, and the adjustment of the intensity of predatory ability is also related to the living standard and health of the people. ”

"It's just a pity that this assumption was broken at the time of the 42nd patriarch - when there were four predatory ability holders at the same time, and the headache was that the abilities of the four of them were still interconnected. ”

"The four predators are: Johnpu Egger, Pokémon Egger, Digie Egger, and Draggen Egger, and they have a very complex, difficult, and cumbersome process of 'deciding to define', but once the definition is decided, it can bring a lot of special opportunities to the clan. ”

"The process between them is roughly as follows:

1. Zhuang Pu proposed the definition direction, and Pokémon, Diji, and Tugen proposed a modification plan;

2. The four people voted on the plan of the three people respectively and got a draft;

3. Zhuang Pu proposed a reverse definition of the relative of the draft, and the other three proposed amendments;

4. The four voted on the plan of the three people, merged the previous draft, and obtained an amendment;

5. Zhuang Pu selects a plan that is not approved from the second step and the fourth step, modifies it, and then uses it as a revision of the amendment;

6. Four people vote on the amendment, and if the vote is passed, it can be executed, and if the vote is not passed, it must be discarded. ”

"If it's just a matter of changing and voting on the proposal, then the definition is too simplistic. In fact, the four Marauders come from four different regions of the Clan, and their upbringing, There are certain differences in the education methods of the father and mother branches, and there are also considerable differences in personality traits, which leads to the extremely difficult times when the voting process is often encountered: Zhuang Pu, who comes from the relatively poor land of the clan, has the least right to speak, but he presides over the definition every time, while the other three capable people from the fertile land can only propose amendments after Zhuang Pu proposes a definition, which is a great mental blow to them, until they directly refuse to revise and vote on the plan. ”

"At that time, the elders of the tribe did not try to mediate: every step of the matter was done, and then the four capable people did it step by step. But here's the problem: the definition wasn't proposed by John, so even after all the steps have been done, the plunder cannot be successfully launched. ”

"What impressed the seniors most about this was not the complexity of the definition of plunder, but the fact that they thought it was a trick devised to cause chaos for the clan. ”

"In other words: the ability to plunder is not a so-called 'lucky' that can be used to 'save the people from fire and water', but a tool that comes from a higher level and selects the person who has obtained the ability to play and frolic. ”

"Having the actual effect of the predatory power itself, the clan can begin to discover the deeper meaning of the predatory power: what are the characteristics of the person who has obtained the predatory ability? ？”

But the process of exploration is even more arduous, mainly because the number of subjects is too small. From the first generation of patriarchs to my generation, there are only 80 predators in the clan, and only the number of foreign clans who have experienced it can reach 100. The number of specimens is too low, and the characteristics of the specimens are too scattered: the clans have undergone several long-distance migrations, and the living environment has changed dramatically, which has made the characteristics of the ability acquirers more unstable, which has led to further obstacles to the research work. ”

"After the 51st generation of the patriarch, the patriarch decided that research in this area could not be continued, so he turned to the study of the probability of the occurrence of predatory ability. In the history of the Egger Clan, we have encountered many other clans with the same ability to predate, and after annexing these clans, integrating their people into our clan and giving birth, we have found that the frequency and probability of predators appearing in the clan have increased. Originally, starting from the first generation of patriarchs, we would need about 7 or 8 generations to have a predator, but after absorbing the new predator clans, the appearance cycle of the predator began to shrink gradually, until now there is one in the second generation. ”

After further summarizing the probability of the ability appearing, the clan elders believe that this ability will be transmitted downward with fertility. The stone inscription of the 4th generation patriarch says that he intermarried with the female patriarch of the 'Heng' clan, and their descendants showed a non-rejection of the ability to plunder at an early age, and then the frequency of the ability among the descendants of this descendant began to increase. 4 generations of patriarchs gave birth to 7 males and 6 females, of which 4 males and 2 females were merged into the 'Heng' clan, and many years later, the 'Heng' clan was in trouble, and with the friendship between the ancestors, they were incorporated into our clan, and then the clan elders found that the probability of ability did not increase. ”

"From this we affirm that the probability of the appearance of predatory abilities can only be increased by absorbing the offspring of those who have the ability to be on the outer edge. ”

"To sum up, the resources within the clan began to tilt towards the clan branches that had the ability to plunder, and they also began to gradually abandon the clan branches and clansmen who did not have the ability to appear. The process can be very brutal, but in order to be able to give the clan a better future, something like this has to be done. ”

However, the clan elders have never forgotten that this predatory ability is definitely the product of malicious manipulation, and this is even more evident in the 45th generation of the matriarchess, Sak-Quak Egger. As a result of the perennial greater care for the predators and their offspring, the proportion of ordinary people in the clan is decreasing. By the time Sak-Quok gained the ability to plunder, less than twenty percent of the ordinary people in the clan remained. However, Sak-Kuok adheres to the rules of the clan, absorbs those with foreign abilities and gives birth to them, but finds that the babies born are all deformed, either lacking hands and feet or underdeveloped organs. This must be a big blow to the ability inheritance for the rest of the future, and given the power of Sack Kuok, no one dares to step forward and take offense. ”

"In order to be able to continue to inherit the chance of the emergence of the ability, the clan had to temporarily transfer the resources back to the ordinary clansmen who did not have much, and then immediately, there were more predators of the ability among the ordinary clansmen. When the resources poured into this part of the clan increased, the same deformed characteristics appeared. Then we have to pour resources into another part of the tribe. ”

However, after going back and forth several times, the elders sensed that something was wrong: when there was no prioritization of resources for the predators, there were not so many deformed offspring, but only after the resources were poured out. ”

But this was a fundamental violation of the laws of nature at that time: it was a common situation that those who ate too much grew up, and those who ate too little had no strength. It was not possible to directly conclude at the time whether the plundering power and the proportion of resources poured were inversely proportional, but at least we understood that all the clans must be treated equally, otherwise too many deformed descendants would only hinder the development of the clan. ”

And by the time of the 51st patriarch, Kuiyu Egger, the truth was finally revealed. ”

"The ability of this patriarch is to think about the wealth that the clan needs in a waking state, and then obtain it in a dream. But while researching the pattern of the appearance of predatory abilities, the Kuiyu patriarch brought this need into a dream. According to the records of the time: the Kuiyu patriarch was blue and purple, and when he woke up, his face was pale and his eyes were bloodshot. When she fully recovered, she found that in her dream, a group of researchers in white jumpsuits, gloves and mouth coverings, with only their eyes exposed, were doing all sorts of strange studies on her body, while she was tied to a metal table and could not move. She felt a moment of excruciating pain, a moment of pleasure and excitement, and just when she was overwhelmed, she finally remembered her mission—she tried to unleash her predatory abilities, only to see the researchers sneering at her and shaking their heads. Then, to her chagrin, a researcher held a list full of names in front of her, and she fixed her eyes on the list of all her previous patriarchs and predators—the same people who had been watching, controlling, and playing with the Egger clan. ”

"Patriarch Kuiyu struggled to escape the metal platform, only to find his hands and feet, as well as his neck and abdomen, stuck in the hard metal rings. At this time, a researcher approached with a sharp, circular blade, and without waiting long, slashed into the abdomen of the Kuiyu patriarch. The patriarch tried to scream in pain, but found a sound coming out, and the eyes of the surrounding researchers flashed with satisfaction and greed, as if they were playing with a fun toy. ”

Since then, the Kuiyu Patriarch has not used the Plundering Ability, and few of her descendants have the Pillager Ability. The clan elders believed that the study of the true meaning of predatory power might have touched on knowledge and areas that they had no access to, and as a result, they were severely punished by 'above'. ”

"In order to prevent such a horrific scene from happening again in the clan, the clan elders unanimously decided to change the direction of their research once again: instead of studying the origins of predatory power, they began to study the benefits that predatory power can bring to the clan. ”

"At this point, the clan began to embark on a path of layout and competition for the highest interests through plundering power. ”

"I must apologize to you, my old friend, after all, I am also the head of the clan, and I must make some judgment of my own for the good of the clan. Originally, I also had the intention of secretly raiding and annexing the 'Shin'ne-Nu' - because you are the most powerful predator our clan has ever seen, then your tribe should also be the most powerful. ”

"I think you can understand why I had such a plan, just as you refused to allow my father and his people to rest outside your new tribal site in the heart of the desert - it was just a decision that our status and status had to make. ”

"And after learning more about you and 'Shin'ne-Nu', we realized that in your tribe for so many years, there have only been those you thought were capable of plundering. This reminds me of a new wave of thought among the clan elders: whether there is a predatory ability that is not inherited due to the birth of the clan branch. ？”

"After a closer look at you, we found that you have not been systematically and systematically educated in your predatory abilities, and your own power is very rudimentary. And with the friendship between our two clans, you will definitely not have any coveting of our clan, nor will you use your ability to do anything to our clan. Oh, I'm sorry for that—I'm well aware of the long-term plundering of you by my grandfather, Sitimud, the old man. ”

"I know that you will be resentful of this long-term plundering of our people, so I have made a decision that my greedy brother has always wanted to change the situation in which his predatory power is difficult to use, so he has thought of a way to 'snatch' it from other predators. I have tried to persuade him many times, but he has not repented, and that time you are going back to the camp of the 'Fare' happened to be overheard by him. I couldn't hold him back that time, but I knew I couldn't live up to my old friend's trust in me, so I gave you a little reminder. ”

"Later I learned that Owokukode never came out of your cave again, and I could have foreseen what would happen to him, and then I heard that you had returned to a state of impunity in front of the other members of the Egg clan, and I knew that you must have jumped out of the 'ban' that Sitimud had made to you. ”

"We've been apologizing to you for years, so I think the best way to compensate you is to give you real feedback. ”
