Chapter 581: A Foreign Land Descends
On the stargazing altar, which resembles a large bird's nest, the bird spirit sits motionlessly on the ground, like a hermit in a feather coat.
Since completing its mission to tell the history of the stork tribe to all parts of the island, it has come to this wonder born from the King of Light. It became quiet and silent, here watching for news from outside the sky.
Neferi stepped into the feathered stage.
She wondered if there was another decade as it drew to a close.
Now the bird spirit is like a demon, and it is always said that there is a high-level civilization that has traveled a long way through the pottery jar burial and is about to arrive on the island.
It's just that every time the ten-year covenant approaches, the advanced civilization that connects to it always fails to make a promise.
The reasons are also bizarre.
The bird spirit always explains.
"The rule turbulence has affected the route and caused it to deviate from the existing direction, and they are actively adjusting."
"They were hit by a large number of unidentified debris and had to postpone their journey to complete the restoration first."
"Infected with a strange epidemic, a mess broke out within them, and it had to be postponed for a while."
"Along the way, they encountered a kingdom of God, and if they want to avoid the risks brought by that kingdom, they need to change the voyage in a roundabout way, which will consume more time."
……
Every reason sounds decent.
But the number of no-shows becomes completely unbelievable.
Nephili personally believed in another explanation.
As far as she knew, the bird spirit and the fish spirit didn't deal with each other very much, and they didn't like each other from the moment they arrived on the island.
The bird spirit is a theorist, which believes that it is necessary to avoid the past mistakes of the stork tribe and collect more existing history in order to better expand civilization, and to use history to plan the future.
The Fish Spirit is a pragmatist who sorts out the complete and incomplete legacies of old civilizations, and then throws them out one after another, regardless of whether they are good or bad. How to use it is a human business, it only cares about inheritance, and the result has nothing to do with it.
However, with the increasing influence of the Practitioners on the Sun Kingdom, after the genetic sequence changed the country, the influence of the fish spirit completely surpassed that of the bird spirit. Many people in the outside world only know the fish spirit, but not the bird spirit.
Even now, not many people come to the stargazing altar to watch the birds.
If it is replaced by a fish spirit, there must be three layers of people in the vicinity, inside and outside, surrounded by water.
As a resentful woman, Nephili can see clearly.
Behind the bird spirit was a dense crowd of resentful spirits, and those clusters of light released strong negative emotions. Even if you stand next to it, you can feel a sense of gloom.
Neferi had always restrained the Bird Spirit's words, so as not to provoke the frustrated Burial Spirit too much.
It's just that even if it's a burial spirit, it's not a matter of going on like this.
Sooner or later, the island will open to the outside world.
When the time comes, travelers from other worlds will come and see it like this, and the bird spirit will probably become a joke and a strange story...... If the vicious circle continues, it will be troublesome.
Neferi took a deep breath and smiled at the Bird Spirit, "I have asked His Majesty the King of Light, do you want to consider going on a tour of other worlds?" ”
"It is a glorious mission that you are the most suitable ambassador for the promotion of the culture and traditions of the stork tribe and the Sun Kingdom......
"Here they are."
The bird spirit suddenly flapped its wings.
It muttered, "They've arrived, they've arrived......"
Neferi sighed inwardly.
This is already so frightened that it resists accepting reality.
It's not easy to do.
Well?
It feels like ......
Nephili jerked her head up.
A small point of light appeared in the sky, and the red dot pulled a white line in the sky and fell straight towards the stargazing altar.
Nephili hurriedly evacuated the surrounding crowd.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's them! It's them! It is a visiting advanced civilization of [Clay Jar Burial]! ”
The bird spirit spread its wings excitedly and stood up.
The white light slammed into the dirt on the ground not far away, causing a slight shock to the ground.
Nephili flew over with the bird spirit, and saw the white light dissipate, revealing a large barrel-shaped vat the size of a house, steaming.
The jar was muddy brown with quaint scribbled black murals on the surface. The painting shows a group of wild men armed with spears and bows and arrows, and they are hunting various animals.
Neferi immediately recognized that this thing was one of the [Clay Jar Burials].
Is there really a high-level civilization visiting?
Her heart sank.
That's a big deal.
Out of the vat came a small animal, which grew bigger and bigger, and it was a horned deer covered in pure white.
[Deer Spirit].
"Finally met. We apologize for the twists and turns that have been going through many times and changing the arrival date. The deer spirit's voice was light and ethereal.
The bird spirit said in the posture of a landlord: "There are many difficulties in the void, just arrive safely." ”
"Well, excuse me."
"No, you are very welcome to visit."
Both funeral spirits were courteous.
Nephili quickly changed her mind, and she also introduced herself, "Welcome guests from afar, I am the apostle of the great Yao God who rules here, Neferi. ”
"Hello, Miss Apostle, I have taken the liberty of visiting. I am the burial spirit and messenger of the [Founding Heart Country], and I don't seem to sense the existence of other deer spirits here, just call me deer spirits. ”
The arrival of the envoy of the [Founding Heart Country] made the whole Sun Kingdom very excited. The contact with the extraterrestrial civilization even temporarily calmed down the previous social unrest.
People want to get in touch with that deer spirit, talk to it, and even go to which country to meet. It's just that not everyone is so lucky, and the deer spirit's itinerary is also very tight, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to it.
Neferi, who was in charge of the reception, was under a lot of pressure.
She came to the temple and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, the deer spirit requests to stay on the island for twenty years, and they will continue to set off after twenty. ”
"Yes."
Chi Lian told her, "I have reported this situation to Lord Yaoshen, and Lord Yaoshen has sent down an oracle and ordered me to take full authority to deal with it. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Neferi, you seem to be preoccupied, and you can have any thoughts or opinions to say. There are no outsiders here. ”
The female apostle hesitated for a moment: "The deer spirit said that it can use its [Taming Wilderness Tank] to cross the void space and enter the [Founding Heart Country] to which it belongs. I was invited to go over there. ”
……
The first two invited visitors to Chau Island were Bird Spirit and Nephili.
The deer spirit led them into the wall of the vat, and through the power of immortal wonders, they traveled a long distance and entered a distant realm.
The country is a powerful civilization with a long history, and the local cities are neatly arranged on the surface of the world, like lines of words printed on a paper newspaper.
1,000 cities make up the country, each named after a beast, tree or bird, and can be traversed by any road.
Neferi was brought to the core of the Kingdom of Hearts by the Deer Spirit, which is equivalent to the [Deer City] of the capital.
Lucheng is home to many amazing buildings that span the sky, shaped like trees and mountains, and people are as small as ants in front of them.
Almost all of the buildings that are public facilities are high-level mythological wonders that exude awe-inspiring power.
The local inhabitants are known as the "People of the Heart", and they come in a variety of forms, including burly tree people, orcs with animal heads and human forms, orcs with normal appearances, erratic ghosts, and skeleton white bone ancestors...... There is a high level of racial tolerance in the country.
The locals were extremely enthusiastic about the two guests, greeting Neferi and the bird spirit from afar, and greeting them in a friendly manner.
"Welcome to Lucheng, guests from afar."
"I hope you enjoy it here."
"Please stay here for two more days!"
"If you have time, please come to my house!"
……
The residents of Lucheng showed a surprising order, decency, knowledge and cultivation.
Nephili spoke with a dozen or so natives, and found that they were either well-versed in politics and law, or skilled in casting and farming, or skilled in art or medicine, as well as battle-hardened warriors of all races.
Any people of the heart possess an astonishing talent, and they do not hesitate to pass on their experience and skills, and fully demonstrate the profound civilization of this country.
What worries Nephili even more is that there are no temples or temples in the kingdom of Hearts.
"I'm sorry, but there are no gods to worship in the Kingdom of Hearts."
"It's not that we don't have a tradition of belief in gods, it's that the gods we used to follow have all fallen, and their idols have all collapsed. ”
"It's a shame."
Nephili chimed in.
"It's also because I've experienced too much life and death, and I don't want to be involved in the war of the gods anymore, so I settled in a hidden space and wanted to live a peaceful life."
Lu Ling recounted: "This time, it was because of the resonance between the [Clay Jar] civilizations that I met the bird spirit, and I heard that the Sun Kingdom is a peace-loving country, so I pretended to have the courage to come and visit. ”
"Rest assured, our world is absolutely safe."
The bird spirit said proudly: "Under the shroud of Lord Yaoshen's divine power, and His Majesty the King of Light is in charge, there is no danger in the continent island world. If a shrine to the god Yao can be erected here, the gods will protect this place. ”
"The Kingdom of the Heart has experienced too many partings and abandonments from the gods, so it has become cautious and conservative, please understand the two of you."
The deer spirit said in a calm manner: "If we don't have faith and worship a god, we will be safer." If you decide to follow the gods, it will put the heart of the country into unpredictable danger, so ......"
"Understood, understood."
Neferi nodded.
……
After listening to the apostle's description, Chi Lian couldn't help but wonder: "Since the [Founding Heart] is such a country that withdraws from strife, why are you so worried? ”
"Your Majesty, it's because you're too peaceful and restrained."
Neferi spoke: "How can an extremely developed civilized world, far larger than the Sun Kingdom, and extremely war-weary, ensure the long-term order and stability of the vast territory? ”
"Your Majesty, wherever there is a community, there will inevitably be strife and disagreement. What is the force that resolves and balances these contradictions? ”
"The excessive politeness and friendliness of the people of the heart, each of them has a noble character, and a kind that is to be ashamed of. They are like heroes and prophets who only appear in legends, so flawless. ”
"Too perfect is very suspicious in itself."
Chi Lian slowly bowed his head: "You're right. ”
"But there's the most crucial thing."
Neferi's voice lowered.
"It's only been less than a year since the deer spirit came to Zhou Island, and there are some voices in the kingdom. The voices came from different individuals, but they all meant the same thing. ”
They said: As a backward civilization, the Sun Kingdom needs to fully emulate the founding countries, eliminate the differential treatment between ethnic groups, give every citizen sufficient power and welfare, and regularly let everyone go to the founding countries for further study and transformation. We should strive to shake off backwardness as soon as possible and become a high-level civilization as developed as the founding countries. ”
Chi Lian's eyes froze.
"It's kind of interesting."
A smile appeared on his face: "I see...... It was this matter that Lord Yaoshen asked me to deal with. ”
