That time period. Orcs are a group of heavy laborers. A demon can wield an iron whip and flog those orcs as much as they want, making them carry heavy stones. Build demon towers, city walls, cities...
The elves are the targets of exploitation. The forests they depend on for survival have been cut down in large areas, and the dwarves are miners. Drilling holes day and night, but got minerals. Must be under the butcher knife of the demons. Obediently pay more than 90%!
Humans are slaves. It's a follower, a clown beside the demons.
And the Dragon Clan
"It's just a pet." There was a hint of cruelty in Chris's eyes: "You know the Colosseum, right? I heard Aragon said that you humans like a game very much. Capture some wild animals, lock them in cages or fight them." In the animal farm, watching them kill each other, this kind of bloody game is the favorite form of entertainment for the upper class among humans... "
Du Wei opened his mouth. Did not speak.
"That's right. At that time, the role played by the dragons was like this. Just like what you humans do now, the demons captured the dragons. Locked them in the Colosseum. Watch them fight and kill each other. It's fun. Huge In the Colosseum. Each game will attract more than tens of thousands of demon nobles to watch!"
The demons have degenerated, they have become aristocrats, real nobles!
They have become cruel and irrational!
That time period. A demon nobleman. You can have thousands or even tens of thousands of slaves, covering all races! The house they lived in was built by orc coolies. The magic toys used are inlaid with gems dug out by dwarf craftsmen, and the food eaten and fancy clothes are made by human servants. Time for entertainment. Just get a few dragons to kill each other. Use this to pass the time.
When a race becomes powerful to the limit, it will start to become... ignorant!
This kind of ignorance is painted with a layer of civilized camouflage. Also with infinite blood and cruelty.
Ordinary civilians among the demons. Also classy. Can kill any non-demon life at will. And this practice will not be punished. It would also be considered a very reasonable move.
The life of the high-level demons has become infinitely corrupt, in Chris's story. In the life of the Mozu nobles. They think that borneol is a high-quality tonic, and it is a fashion among the nobles to use borneol. They think that the elves are the best concubine. So the elves were forced to regularly contribute a large number of people as sacrifices-of course. If you don't give. Then the demons will come to grab them with butcher knives.
even. For a while, because they got tired of wearing fine clothes. It was beautiful to wear animal skins, at that time. Ordinary beast skins are considered low-grade! They think that killing an orc and peeling off an orc's fur is the most noble form of clothing. It is conceivable that this kind of ethos is a tragic fate for an orc.
As for the dwarves... thank goodness. Dwarves have no fur worth peeling off for clothing, nor are they handsome. But the dwarves have something that the demons like... the talent for mining.
"Do you think dwarves like to live in dark caves?" Chris laughed: "Most of the creatures in this world like sunshine, and dwarves live in caves. It's not that they like it, but they are forced to No matter how good at mining, no one wants to live in a dark cave all year round. However, the demand for ore from the demons is very large. After the dwarves were completely conquered, they had to undertake endless labor."
The corruption of the demons did not happen in just a few decades or hundreds of years, but lasted for a long time.
They built every tower and city. They are all paved with the blood and bones of creatures of other races.
How low was the status of other races at that time
"If an elf clan leader faces a demon commoner, then the elf clan leader must bow his head and go around! If he meets a demon clan's low-ranking nobleman, then the elf clan leader must kneel down and kiss the other's instep .”
Demons also have a terrible sacrificial activity.
This kind of activity is a grand festival of the Demon Race. But it is the nightmare of other races!
The popular custom at that time was: life sacrifice or. Blood sacrifice!
Before each tower, there will be a huge square. In the middle of those squares. Generally, a huge circular altar will be left... In the middle is an empty pool, and countless pipes will be set up underneath.
The underground of the entire square is actually a large empty pool that has been hollowed out.
The activities of blood sacrifices vary in scale from place to place, and the specific content is to slaughter pure creatures of other races—the so-called pure creatures. They are virgins and teenagers among humans, or elves who have just grown up among elves. A newborn baby in the orc tribe.
All the creatures who were sacrificed by blood. Their blood must be used. Fill the pool with blood!
Such blood sacrifices vary in size. According to records, the most grand occasion. It was once in the capital of the demons, and a total of 14,000 humans were slaughtered that time. Six thousand orcs and four hundred elves.
This kind of blood sacrifice is carried out twice a year. And on the mainland at that time. There are many demon cities! There are also many sacrificial towers! It is conceivable that this represents how many lives are slaughtered in sacrifices every year.
As for the life sacrifice... then it is a ceremony performed when a demon nobleman dies.
According to the tradition of the Mozu, when a nobleman dies. All the slaves it owns. They will all be buried with them!
"Extreme madness before demise."
Du Wei made such an evaluation.
His words. Got the approval of Chris: "You are right. At that time, the entire demon race fell into madness. They had no goals and no reason. It was the entire race that fell into this madness."
"So, what about the gods?" Du Wei asked a very sharp question: "According to what you said, it seems that you don't agree with the actions of the demons. As the gods of the demons, don't the demons know this? Does it Don't you know it's a madness that brings death?"
"My child, you have to understand one thing first... There is no so-called "god" in this world." Chris said with a smile: "The so-called gods are just creatures that are much stronger than ordinary creatures. Human gods are In this way, the gods of the dwarves, orcs, elves, and dragons are like this, and so are the demon gods."
talking. Chris looked at Du Wei and asked: "Let's assume first, if you are a leader, your people are oppressing other races. You eat beef and mutton. You wear animal skins. You kill a lot of animals in the festival... you will Do you blame your people for these? Will you kill your own people for the survival of cattle and sheep?"
"Of course not." Du Wei shook his head.
He suddenly remembered a sentence he said: If there is only one to choose between my life and the people of the world...then let the people of the world die!
"God-level strong. Became the gods believed by various races. Especially those who were enslaved. They started to worship the gods fanatically. They hope that the powerful gods can protect them. Lead them. Save them from tragic events Destiny, this level of strong desire and belief, makes the god-level powerhouses of other races able to obtain enough "godhead".
The Demon God is the patron saint of the Demon Race. Maybe you think it is a crime for the demons to enslave other races like this. But the problem is that at that time, in the eyes of all the demons, other races were not creatures equal to them at all! ! They view the status of other races in the same way that you humans view cattle and sheep now!
You humans take it for granted. Horses are for you to ride on. Cattle and sheep are used to eat land! Dogs are for housekeeping! ! Forests are meant to be cut down! ! No human being would think such an approach is evil, right
At that time, the Earth Demon Race probably thought the same way, other races. In the eyes of the Mozu. It is the cattle, sheep, horses and dogs in the eyes of you humans.
Because you are human. You will not sympathize with those cattle, sheep, horses and dogs enslaved by humans. But now you will feel disgusted with the practices of the demons. That's because you're human! So you can't see human beings being enslaved. But you also don't say "Ah. Those slaughtered cattle and sheep are too miserable. Ah, those horses that I ride are too pitiful..." and other boring words! "
What Chris said was sharp and cruel.
but. Du Wei couldn't refute it—because it was the truth!
"Okay, now, let's talk about the story of "The Devil and the Girl"." Chris chuckled dryly: "The story you heard. I don't deny that it is true, but there are few people in it. Two paragraphs missing. Two paragraphs missing."
Du Wei cheered up immediately!
"First... the human goddess dedicated herself to the demon god. That's right. But don't you find it strange? The demon god is also a demon race. Why would he like a human goddess?? This is really hard to understand The thing about it... You must know that the status of human beings at that time was cattle, horses, pigs and sheep! Will your human leaders marry a ewe as a wife? Even if that ewe looks... beautiful?! Humph!"
Du Wei was stunned.
This is a question that seems to be ignored!
is land. No human leader would fall in love with a beautiful ewe!
in the racial hierarchy at the time. The goddess of mankind, in the eyes of the demons. I'm afraid the status is not much higher than a beautiful ewe!
How likely is this
Make an inappropriate analogy: Can you imagine that the president of the United States married the queen of a small indigenous country in Africa as Qin?
"Resistance existed very early." Chris explained: "It's just that the demons are powerful. Many times before, they have successfully suppressed the bloody oppression of the resistance, except for bloodshed. Others The earth race has never achieved any results, but... the demon god is wise, and it clearly sees the future of the devil race—Muwei, as you said, it is the last madness before extinction!"
"Although the demon god is the supreme demon god, it cannot stop the entire demon race from going crazy unless it kills all the demon race! It is not the kind of real omnipotent "god"! It is just a strong It's just a strong person who has been mythological."
"It can't watch its own race go down the path of destruction. Then, it can only choose a feasible path of change! Do everything possible to reduce the enslavement of the demons to other races. Or, raise the status of other races. In order to achieve this Purpose. What else is more effective than... marrying a human goddess? You can imagine. If the human goddess becomes the demon god's woman, then the status of the human race may be improved."
Then. Chris said something that Du Wei didn't know: "The first paragraph is missing: the demon god didn't marry her because he fell in love with the human goddess! In fact, at the beginning, the demon god proposed to both humans and elves. The request for marriage. But, stubborn to the traditional elves, they would rather die than submit, even if they risked the bloody disaster of the whole family being massacred, they resolutely refused. And the human goddess agreed. "
"If we have to say, in this so-called "The Demon King and the Girl" story, who is in love with whom? At least at the beginning. Lord Demon God didn't fall in love with the human goddess at all! I even doubt it. It's the goddess of mankind who fell in love with our Lord Demon God." So, the Demon God married a beautiful ewe.
Du Wei has a kind of want to laugh. The absurd feeling that I can't laugh.
