Chapter 402: Alarmist
After Sawin laid out the two options in his mind, he asked Celia, "Which of these two do you think is better?"
Seliah thought for a while, and then said: "The first plan is more time-saving and labor-saving, but there will be more follow-up problems, but what we are doing now is to deal with the coming of the apocalypse, if the apocalypse comes soon, these interracial frictions will not matter, and it will be too late to think about it after the crisis of the apocalypse."
As for the second option, I think it will take too much time and manpower to implement in the short term, and it will probably take several years to complete, and the relocation of the wild people from the places where they have lived for generations will probably cause a considerable backlash. ”
After hearing Seliya's words, Sawin couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha...... I didn't expect that in one year, your political ability has improved so much, it seems that I didn't trust the wrong person in the first place. ”
Celia also smiled and said, "Are you praising me or yourself?"
The two laughed for a while, and finally returned to the topic, Sawin said: "You are right, from the current point of view, we really can't afford to wait for the second plan, so we can only follow the first plan." So we're going to have to play with the tribal elders and priests. ”
Celia nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way to go." ”
The next day, Sahain summoned the elders of the tribes and the priests who lived in the city, and planned to hold a meeting with them to tell them what he had said. Selia did not attend this meeting, and Sawan convened this meeting as the reincarnation of Thor, so as to avoid the other party thinking that he was overpowering.
The meeting was not held in the barracks, but the largest restaurant in the city was chartered, and the restaurateur and his men were busy early in the morning, slaughtering sheep and chickens, and finally preparing the food at lunchtime. Thor's City is the largest city on the island, and most of the important people of the tribe live here, as long as they can be managed, the rest of the tribe will not be a problem.
As it approached noon, important people from all tribes arrived, filling the restaurant. Sawan brought everyone in the name of a treat, the reason being that he hadn't seen everyone for a long time, and he planned to have a good chat. At the beginning of the banquet, Savin first raised his glass and said: "Elders and priests of various tribes, we haven't seen each other for a long time, this is my dereliction of duty, I will first toast you with three glasses." ”
After speaking, Samin drank three glasses in a row, and the restaurant suddenly burst into warm applause. The savages have gradually learned to drink since the arrival of the Holy Cult Army, but the amount of alcohol is generally not good, and Sawan is very impressed when he sees him drinking three glasses in a row. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Sawan gradually brought the topic to the end of the world.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of the legend of the end of the world, about 10,000 years ago, the world was shrouded in darkness...... " Samhain added fuel to the story of the end of the world, and the conversation attracted everyone's attention, and the whole restaurant suddenly became very quiet, except for Samin's voice.
When Sawin finished speaking, I saw that everyone's faces became a little solemn, and the savages had an extraordinary awe of nature, and they were more receptive to the legend of the end than ordinary people.
At this time, a priest said: "Actually, we also have a legend about the end of the world, which is somewhat similar to what the adults said, but our legend is that the hometown of the god of thunder suffered a catastrophe, and the world was covered by black clouds and could not see the light of day, and the sons of the god of thunder had no choice but to leave the country, and then came to live on this island."
But listening to what you just said, it seems that the place where the disaster occurred is not this world, is the legendary hometown of the god of thunder not in this world? If this is the case, then aren't we all from other worlds?"
When Sawan heard him say this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, it seems that the ancient legends of the wildlings have a lot in common with the speculation of the Magic Guild, so it seems almost certain that humans are indeed from other worlds, but was there really a way to travel through another world 10,000 years ago?
Other priests had a different view, another priest said: "I think the homeland of the god of thunder is not in another world, it should be in the depths of the sea, such a statement is too reluctant, I think our ancestors all came from far and wide across the ocean, and our tribe still retains the ancient scriptures, which clearly say, 'Crossing the black mist, passing through the lightless sea, and finally coming to the corner of the cold world...... This obviously means crossing the sea." ”
The savages' records of history are all passed down by word of mouth, and there are inevitably fallacies in them, but after listening to these words, Sawin is even more sure that the hometown of the god of thunder in the legend of the savages is another world, because he has had the experience of traveling to and from another world, and the scriptures retold by the priest are indeed very similar to how he felt when he passed through the space tunnel.
The priests were the most knowledgeable men in the tribe, so they were not convinced by each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and one by one they blushed, and none of them could convince the other. Seeing that the subject was about to deviate, Sawin hurriedly spoke out to persuade everyone, the theme of today's meeting is the return of the dragons, not the time to care about these legends.
Sawan said loudly: "These ancient legends do need to be remembered, but we can study them slowly in the future, today I want to tell you a bad news, according to some revelations given to me by Thor, the apocalypse is likely to come again, I want everyone to think of a way together today, how to survive this great disaster." ”
After the argument just now, the priests' emotions had already risen, and they all regarded Sahain as the judge of the argument, so they all hoped that Sahain would agree with him, so they all immediately echoed him. A priest followed up and said, "What a coincidence, I also found a revelation during my recent divination, and I was still worried at the time, but I didn't expect Lord Sawan to also get the revelation, it seems that this matter is really going to happen." ”
Sawin smiled bitterly in his heart: "This guy will borrow me to elevate his own." ”
The other priests were not willing to be monopolized by this priest, and they all said that they had received the revelation, and at this time, anyone who did not follow and say that he had received the revelation would obviously be inferior, so they added fuel and vinegar one by one, and said the revelation to the sky. Some say that he burned his bones and saw cracks, which obviously means that the sky is about to fall apart, while others say that he saw birds killing each other, indicating that the world is about to bleed......
These priests spoke so mysteriously that even Sawan felt that it was a bit too much, so he interrupted the priests and said, "It seems that all the priests, like me, have received the revelation of the god of thunder, and we must prepare for the catastrophe ahead." ”
At this time, no one dared to answer, and the priests knew in their hearts that they were echoing Sawin's nonsense, and if they really wanted to solve the problem of the end of the world, it was not a joke, let's see what Sawin said.
The words of the Savin priests had stirred up the fears of the others, and the elders of the tribes began to talk nervously: "I think we must prepare some boats, and in case the end comes, we will go to sea to take refuge, at most learn from our ancestors, and then find an island to live on." ”
"When the end comes, who knows where to go, if we can't find a safe island when we go to sea, won't we all die, this will definitely not work......"
After some discussion, no one could come up with a practical solution, and finally they all set their eyes on Savan. Sawin knew that they were waiting for him to come up with an idea, so he straightened up and said, "I don't think there is a way to escape, and besides, where can we escape, when the end comes, the sky will collapse and the tsunami, and it may be even more dangerous to run around." I think the best thing to do is to join forces with other people to fight this catastrophe. ”
The current savages are not as repulsive as they used to be, and when they hear that they want to unite with others, they naturally think of humans first. One elder said, "It's good to join forces with humans, but there are so many humans, you can't all gather in one place." ”
Sawin shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about human beings, human beings naturally want to unite, but human beings alone are not enough, they must unite with more powerful forces." ”
