Chapter 126: Lessons from the Past

What's the stuff?

This......

In fact, at that moment, what a certain Wen thought in his heart was not demons and monsters, nor a landslide and tsunami, but: Since you can dominate such a terrifying, demon-like behemoth, why don't you summon it when you encounter the enemy fighting?

If they had been summoned to help in the battle at that time, wouldn't they have been spared even injuries?

Why......

The question didn't dwell on for long, and the answer soon emerged.

Because, a moment later, a certain article saw: a group of tall, burly, and dilapidated humanoid iron sheets (that is, 'robots'... However, because it is too shabby and a pair of arms are too twisted to be called 'human') follows the ancient staircase and runs in.

Each of them carries a huge water tank in their arms (their hands are made so long to hold it firmly), and a huge basket on their backs (...) I don't know what it was made of, but it looked very strong and flexible), and inside the basket was another huge water tank.

... It turns out that this is a robot used to transport drinking water!

No wonder you can't be summoned in advance to fight... Look at their faces of slumped forward slightly, if it weren't for the water tank in their arms, a pair of huge hands almost dragging the ground, they would be completely diligent and hard-working slave statues!

No matter how tall and burly he is, how can such a 'daily necessities' who are 'obedient' be able to go on the battlefield and fight?

As soon as it appeared, it wasn't three times five divided by two and smashed into a pile of scrap metal by the other party?

... I see!

A certain article suddenly at the same time. Suddenly, an inexplicable sadness rose in my heart: some people (or other animals) are obviously tall and burly, physically strong, but because they are shackled (mental & physical) and enslaved, they are unable to exert the ability they should be able to play normally, and because of this, they are honest and responsible all their lives, they are bullied, they can't hold their heads up, from childhood to adulthood, until they are old... It's really sad and pitiful.

For example. In a world dominated by humans. The beasts that were once fierce and domineering... No matter how high-spirited and invincible they were, weren't they all imprisoned and orphaned for the rest of their lives?

Another example is the circus lions, tigers, bears and elephants......

Are they really born willing to stand on stage and entertain the public?

Not really.

It's just that. Shackled, imprisoned, enslaved. So. So... In order to survive under the eaves, they had to bow their noble heads.

Actually, it's not just beasts. The same is true in human society and between people.

This kind of relationship is called 'social hierarchy'.

Of course, even so, it is still much better than the 'slavery' of the barbarian society......

It's really sad to think about.

"What are you doing?"

"Let's go~"

“... Oh!"

Maybe he was thinking too much, so it wasn't until Xiao Jing called him and ran over to drag him that a certain Wen reacted and hurriedly caught up with the 'Giant Brigade' that was now drifting away.

In order to keep up with the rhythm of the trip, a certain Wen and Xiaoqing, as well as the little girl from before (from the conversation, I learned that this child's name is 'Gumuti', in their language and culture, it is a national instrument that can play the melodious songs of Qingyue), unsurprisingly, they all played the 'Hot Rock Spirit War Drum' again, but this time... Don't mention the 'safety belt' to me, that kind of thing that ties people and falls into the trap, you can't even tie it to death!

The group just traveled lightly to their remembered destination.

Perhaps, for them, this process is just a revisit to the old place and a familiar road, but for a certain Wen and Xiaoqing, as well as the little girl of the Giant Clan who went out for the first time to broaden her horizons and increase her knowledge, this long and distant journey is really full of novelty & incredible.

For example, the undulating and continuous complex of ancient temples, the winding and reciprocating paths, and the ruined and scarred ancient stone steps......

All of this, stacked and accumulated, fit and coordinate with each other, and invisibly construct an extremely majestic, majestic, and spectacular ancient ruins and buildings, on which every trace of damage and dilapidation, every grain of light dust, is unreal and profoundly engraved with the glorious traces of the past history, leading people to reverie, and people can't help but linger and think about it.

However, these are of course numerous and huge, but after all, they are general, and at first they may be surprised by their magnificence, and when you look at them, you will feel that they are similar and nothing special.

It wasn't until the group passed by a wide, primitive, now ageed, dilapidated square that it had changed beyond recognition, and it wasn't until the huge building in it appeared in the line of sight of a certain text, that people woke up from their drowsiness and didn't realize that their eyes lit up.

It was a huge humanoid sculpture.

It stands to reason that the people who live here are giants, so it is only natural that the sculptures they have constructed should be even larger, like small mountains.

Yes, yes, it does.

But......

That's only half true.

Why?

Oh, because-

This is not only a humanoid sculpture that is 'as huge as a hill', but also a 'corpse remains'.

Hey?

Corpse wreckage?!

Uh-huh, yes yes, you heard it right, this is indeed a 'corpse wreckage'!

When it collapsed, it no longer had the form of a complete 'giant', but looked like a human being, and after thousands of years, it turned into white bones.

In other words, it's not so much a 'giant humanoid sculpture'. It's better to say it's a 'giant humanoid skeleton'.

Moreover, it was not only a 'skeleton', but also a huge skeleton with its entire head shattered in powder, with its arms broken and half of its right foot mutilated, and it was damaged to the point of exaggeration......

“......”

This situation and this scene are really speechless!

Why is this so?

It's actually quite simple:

"The prototype of this humanoid sculpture carved from massive lava of gold and steel, called 'Maite Beru', was once the greatest leader of the Maite family in the last century before its demise. As they passed through, Captain Tanuye told them, "In ancient times. They were also of the same race as us. Later, because of the intermarriage with foreigners in the past generations, the blood in the body became thinner and thinner, coupled with war, food scarcity, harsh living environment, and harsh and harsh living conditions, they were later separated. Self-proclaimed name. Self-contained portal. In this land, which was still very barren and barren at that time, independence became a major race. ”

"In the beginning, they were with us. In the end, there are blood relatives, and the two sides are still very frequent in trade and economic exchanges, and they are also very united and friendly. ”

"Our two family ancestors fended off foreign enemies, hunted wild beasts together, lived together in harmony, and ruled together over this precious land that we have inhabited and loved for generations. ”

The outbreak of war after that was mainly due to the development of intelligence, the development of industry, and the scarcity of related resources. ”

"We both want to compete for the best resources... including human, material, and financial resources, resources of all kinds, and all of them want to consolidate their internal affairs while expanding (or rather, plundering) larger and larger territories. ”

So after a series of deceit, the relationship between the two sides became more and more stiff, and later, a series of high-end weapons appeared, and finally brutally drew the final end to the friendship between the two sides. ”

Since then, people on both sides have regarded each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they are eager to kill each other as soon as possible. ”

"Our people have prospered by the victory of wars and the abundance of resources, and we have also been degraded by the defeat of wars, and the plundering and mutilation of resources and people, and the most painful and miserable period of living in hell is the era ruled by this man. ”

"At that time, our clan was wiped out, almost all the people were enslaved, living a miserable life of being trampled on wantonly and being bullied and humiliated, day and night, year after year, life was worse than death. ”

"But, even so, we survived. ”

"In those tragic years, I don't know how many people I lost, I don't know how many relatives and friends died, and even young children... But we survived strongly. ”

"I have been silently patient, waiting until the day when the clouds open and the fog will fall......"

"On that day, with the implementation of a strategy and tactic (of course, it must have been a 'conspiracy' in their eyes) secretly planned by our ancestors, more than 60% of the members of the Maite family were infected with a plague that had no antidote at the time and was enough to kill quickly, and the remaining 40%... It took our ancestors a week to clean them up. ”

"So, in the midst of a cruel competition for survival, we survived, and they all perished... Although we have suffered a crushing defeat, we have finally survived for generations in this land of endless roads!"

"And this huge humanoid sculpture, which stood in the supreme position of the 'central square' and the 'largest economic and trade place' at the time, representing one of the greatest leaders of the enemy race, was quickly overthrown by the enslaved and abused mob of our people... But the mere tearing down was not enough to vent their anger, so they angrily re-carved it, from a complete, majestic, leader's image into a pile of dry bones. ”

"And then ......"

"Guided by the unquenchable anger in their chests, the ancestors (well, actually, a mob hot-headed from being abused and humiliated) rose up and smashed its head, broke its arms, mutilated its right leg... I say this, you may think that this is a very easy thing to do, but in fact, you can see for yourself, touch it, feel it for yourself, and see for yourself how hard and strong this stone carving called 'lava' is. ”

"This is a magical and precious stone that is known as a magical and precious stone that will not weather, decay or even undergo a little deformation even if it is old!"

"Now it's been damaged like this... From this, what kind of unforgettable hatred existed between the two races at that time?"

“......”

This is indeed a little-known history, and it is indeed a sad and poignant story of national wars... At that time, all flesh and blood existence had disappeared, but the relics of history that would never die were still alive, and the wreckage of those broken and dilapidated was still there, and generations, generations, and generations of ancestors, in a silent way, wept and overturned their former upheavals, grandiose and tragic.

The mob is really powerful~

A certain article was listening to it on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This world really has to obey the will of heaven and win the hearts of the people in order to last for a long time... Otherwise, no matter how great and great a leader is, this will end up like this......

This is a lesson from the past, a real case that is thought-provoking and can be used as a warning! (To be continued......

PS: A few days ago, I was in very bad health, most of the time I was sick in bed, and I encountered some chicken cat things, and I was even more annoyed in my heart, I really couldn't write it......

I'm sorry!

(It's been broken for 3 days in a row, I thought the collection was going to plummet, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected... )
