Yu Nu was also looking at Xu Le, but she seemed very scared and kept hiding behind Niulang.
The three weird combinations in front of us are very strange.
The strongest Ling Moo is a mount, the level 2 Rain Girl is timid, and only the weakest Cowherd can have a normal conversation with Xu Le and the others.
When Xu Le heard Niulang say that he didn't remember his name, he didn't mean to laugh at him.
Ancient gods, as the name suggests, most of them are very ancient.
It is very common for ancient gods to be hundreds or even thousands of years old, so it is not surprising that they forget their own names.
"Why are you here? I heard that creatures like the Ancient God Species should live in the God Realm, right?"
Niulang shook his head slightly. It seemed that he had not communicated with humans for too long and his reaction speed was a little slow.
"Not all ancient gods live in the God Realm. It's good for us to live here."
Xu Le then remembered the group of bull demons he encountered in Block 53. Although those half-human, half-bull creatures were a bit bloodthirsty, they should also be ancient species of gods living in the wild.
How do these ancient gods living in the wild avoid the strange ancient sounds
"I can understand living in the wild, but how did you hide from Gu Yinduo in the dark?"
"Our desires are not as strong as humans', and we ourselves will absorb the power of ancient sound as protection. After obeying the laws of darkness, nothing strange will appear in the darkness."
How to obey the dark laws
If humans collectively obey the law of darkness, wouldn't that be a great liberation? Wouldn't we no longer be afraid of darkness? Wouldn't we no longer have to worry about weirdness
Everyone else could hear clearly the conversation between Xu Le and Niulang.
As for what Cowherd said, if you obey the laws of darkness, you can get rid of the troubles of the strangeness of darkness. This is a secret that anyone and any city would want to know.
"So... how to comply?" Xu Le's eyes showed anticipation.
The cowherd didn't seem to have any intention of hiding anything, and said directly:
"Just peel off the Red Moon Spirit. This shouldn't be a secret, right?"
"Is that all right?"
"Yes, if you strip away the spirit of the red moon, you no longer need to obey the laws of darkness. At least that's how we ancient gods think."
How to say it, the feeling it gives Xu Le is pure. Although there is a gap in level, it is much purer than Qinglong.
So Xu Le felt that Niulang was not lying.
But stripping away the Red Moon Spirit... is it possible
Absolutely impossible.
First of all, it is impossible for humans to trust Gu Yinduo. Even if some people can trust Gu Yinduo, it is impossible that all of them can trust Gu Yinduo.
Then there is the fact that the Spirit of the Red Moon is everywhere.
Every night, the moon itself releases the spirit of the red moon, and the red moon is the source of the warlock.
Even warriors will be more or less contaminated by the spirit of the red moon, although warriors cannot use it, which is too pitiful.
In addition, humans are also researching Red Moon technology, such as Zion.
Things like moonstones are formed by absorbing the spirit of the red moon. To put it more precisely, they are blocks of moon spirit energy.
Even if these things can be given up, there is still the human heart!
The power of warlocks is admired by countless people. Those who obtain extraordinary powers will only try their best to maintain their authority and power, and they are even less likely to give up.
Therefore, humans nowadays have no way of peeling off the red moon, and even if they can, they will not do so.
dead end.
"I see." Xu Le nodded.
At this time, as if aware of the confrontation between Xu Le and the three ancient gods, the wild beasts in the surrounding grasslands and hills gradually increased in number.
These beasts began to gather behind the three ancient gods, and they looked at Xu Le and his companions with hostility.
Obviously, as ordinary animals, they stand on the side of ancient gods such as Niulang.
Xu Le and the others also sensed the hostility of these animals. Xu Le looked at Niulang:
"They seem to like you very much?"
“That should be the case, because the cow and I have been protecting this place, and the Rain Girl has been constantly calling for rain in this area.
Her original intention was to build a pond for the cows, not to help the animals here.
But as time went on and the rains increased, the area became greener, so the creatures here liked us very much.”
"The days are long, but how long are they?"
"About one or two hundred years, I can't remember."
Xu Le nodded. He was also somewhat curious about the Rain Girl's abilities...
"Excuse me, can the Rain Girl really call for rain?"
"Of course, Yu'er, come on."
Yu Nu was a little afraid of Xu Le, but after Niulang's request, she plucked up the courage and walked forward.
Putting down the lotus leaf in her hand, Yu Nu formed seals with her hands and actually began to use the spell:
"Water Style - Call Rain."
The air at night gradually became humid, and the misty autumn rain gradually fell. It was really raining.
Xu Le regretted it. Asking the Rain Girl to make it rain at this time was just looking for trouble.
Wang Shu on the side also glanced at Xu Le:
"It's pretty stupid."
"Stop talking. I know."
If there was too much rain like this, the bonfire might be extinguished. Xu Le looked at the Rain Girl for help:
"Um, can this ritual be stopped?"
Yu Nu quickly hid behind Niulang and secretly glanced at Xu Le. She didn't say anything but shook her head.
"Well, forget it if it doesn't work."
After Xu Le pondered for a while, he took out some of his favorite snacks from his bag and handed them over.
"It's nice to meet you. Consider these as gifts for our intrusion."
"Gift? Thank you so much."
The cowherd didn't seem to be very polite. When he saw Xu Le giving him a gift, he just reached out and took it.
They were just some bayberries, dried meat, and some snacks. They were not valuable, but very rare for the ancient gods.
It's like the golden toad particularly likes to eat earthworms.
Xu Le took a deep breath, glanced at the dark clouds in the sky and spread his hands:
"Well, it's time for us to leave, but I have to remind you before we go.
After we leave, there may be other humans coming to this place. You should leave quickly before they arrive."
Niulang was stunned for a moment. They had lived here for hundreds or even thousands of years.
This pond is their home, why should they leave
"The pond is our home, and we will not leave."
Xu Le frowned slightly, looking at the animals around him that were still hostile to them and refused to retreat even in the rain. He felt inexplicably irritated.
"Humans are very dangerous." Xu Le tried to explain.
"Very dangerous? Aren't you very friendly?" The cowherd didn't understand.
"Not all humans are friendly. Humans need to open up this place. They will raze it to the ground and kill all creatures that resist.
So...if you want to survive, leave here as soon as possible, otherwise when humans come again, they will most likely kill you."
After Xu Le finished speaking, he looked at Ai Li:
"Ms. Rewi Alley, this should be Zion's plains policy, right?"
Ai Li frowned slightly and nodded.
"yes."
I don’t know if Niulang understood Xu Le’s meaning, or felt the heavy atmosphere, he repeated again:
"We will not leave our homes, and if there is an enemy, we will fight."
Xu Le nodded. He didn't try to persuade him any more. He just turned and looked at Wang Shu.
"Brother Shu, let's go. It's been raining here. It's time to move to another place."
"good."
As the three ancient gods watched them go, Xu Le and his group gradually disappeared at the top of the hill.
After leaving the pond, the team fell into endless silence.
Xu Le didn't say anything, and no one else wanted to speak either.
The mercenaries brought this time did not include any atmosphere group or anything like that. They walked with the lights on for about 3-4 minutes before they were considered to be out of the range of the rain.
"Let's light the fire and set up camp again."
"good."
After being drenched in the rain for a while, everyone was wet. The other people were all warriors, and Wang Jing was also very strong, so it didn't matter to them.
Xu Le is not in such a good situation. Although his body has been strengthened, it has not yet reached the level where he can ignore illness.
Faced with the cold and damp, he still got sick.
The bonfire was lit, and at Wang Jing's signal, Ge Sini handed Xu Le a cup of hot water, but it was grabbed directly by Ai Li next to her.
"Hey, what are you doing? This is for Mr. Xu Le." Ge Si Ni exclaimed.
Ai Li ignored her, just smelled the water, then took a sip, and then handed the water to Xu Le.
“You can drink it.”
"Are you afraid that we will poison you?" Ge Sini glared.
"Yes." Ai Li admitted directly.
Widow Wang Jing is a level 2 warlock, although she has not yet demonstrated any abilities other than support.
But a warlock is a warlock, and Xu Le is only a level 2 warlock.
The warlock's hiding methods are very scary. As a Zion executor, Rewi Alley does not trust most mercenaries. When facing an unknown warlock like Wang Jing, he must be on guard.
"Hey, you are so rude."
"Nizi, come back, stop making noise."
Ge Sini was still talking, while Xu Le took the hot water and drank it directly. He ignored their quarrel, which was not even a quarrel.
Xu Ting saw what Xu Le was thinking, walked over and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Xu Le, are you still thinking about the three ancient gods?"
"Yeah, I'm thinking."
"Are you worried about them? In fact, after they figure it out, they might leave."
Xu Ting's consolation was a little clumsy, but Xu Le ruthlessly shattered these thoughts:
“No, these wild ancient gods are earth-attached spirits. They have a strong sense of territory and will fight to the death for their territory.
Only complete losers and stray dogs will abandon their territory, so they will not leave, so they... will definitely die."
Xu Le's words were a bit cruel, but they were also true.
If Zion's plains policy continues, then Zion's army will certainly drive out or even kill all living things.
Xu Le is not an animal protector, and he would not say anything criticizing the actions of the Zion government.
It's meaningless. It's already difficult for humans to survive in the Dark Ages. Asking humans to protect animals and ancient gods is ridiculous.
He was just wondering if there was a better way of coexistence, like the relationship between psychics and the summoned creatures of the ancient gods.
Xu Le thought for a while and suddenly asked:
"Do you think that Rain Girl's technique is... quite useful?"
"Call for rain?"
"A water-based disaster sorcerer should be able to do the same thing, right?" Xu Ting hesitated.
But Xu Le shook his head:
“No, the magic of a warlock is different from that of the ancient gods. I am a warlock myself, and I know the limitations of a warlock’s abilities.
The warlock's technique is more like an application of rules, a kind of energy displacement.
The ancient gods' magic is more like some kind of prayer ability. They seem to be able to communicate with nature and let the power of nature help them do what they want.
The ability to summon rain over such an area and for such a long time is definitely not something that a water disaster can do. Even if it could be done, it wouldn't be so easy. The amount of spiritual energy consumed is simply not something a warlock can afford."
Ai Li looked at Xu Le, his eyebrows slightly raised:
"What do you want to say?"
“I think the Rain Girl’s ability is very practical, with a huge range and gentle effect. If an ancient god like the Rain Girl can join the human camp, it will definitely be of great use.
At least in terms of growing crops, there is definitely a very significant improvement, and even some wasteland can be developed, which is a fundamental improvement in productivity. "
Xu Le has always firmly believed that productivity is the foundation of society.
Only when productivity is sufficient can there be a sufficient population, and only when there is a sufficient population can there be enough sorcerers, warriors, and researchers.
This is applicable to any city.
If the Rain Girl could join, she would be a living rain-making machine.
From the fact that Toad can help Xu Le to get a level 4 weird face for the sake of Earthworm Attraction, we can see that the ancient gods are really difficult, they are even more difficult than humans.
Xu Le felt that if he recruited Yu Nu, he would only need to give her food to eat on a daily basis, and he wouldn't even need a salary.
She can do the work of hundreds or even thousands of people.
And that cow, how powerful would it be if it was plowing the land? It's all natural and doesn't require coal or moonstone, what a great thing.
The contribution will last for thousands of years!
"That's a good idea." said Ai Li.
"You think so too?" Xu Le thought Ai Li agreed with his idea.
But Ai Li shook his head:
“But you just heard that they stripped away Hongyue’s preference for Gu Yinduo. Compared to Hongyue, they are more inclined to Gu Yinduo’s power.”
"Can you feel threatened by a weird like Rain Girl?"
“Ancient gods can also be distorted. They believe in ancient sounds, so human society cannot trust them. If they don’t trust them, there will be estrangement.
And the gap will generate emotions and mental energy, and eventually the mental energy will lead to distortion."
Xu Le opened his mouth and finally sighed.
"I must have lost my mind to be worrying about a few monsters. I must have been living too comfortably recently and didn't realize it.
They are just three monsters. Even if they are dead, it has nothing to do with me.
Even if they are not killed by humans, they will die of old age due to the passage of time.
There is death on one side, there is death on the other side, there is death on both sides, I'd better not get involved in this matter."
The corners of Ai Li's mouth twitched. This was the first time she heard Xu Le speak in such a strange way.
Is this considered being sarcastic to yourself
"Xu Le."
"It's time to go to bed, what are you doing?"
"If you are dissatisfied with Zion's policies, you should not give up, you should work hard to climb up.
Make yourself strong enough, reach a high enough place, and use your own abilities to influence and change the policy, instead of giving up. "
Before, Xu Le was still thinking about brainwashing Ai Li, but he didn't expect that Ai Li would take the initiative.
Her eloquence was not very good, and Xu Le could not accept such empty promises.
"How high can I climb? Are you asking me to fight against those hidden families, financial groups, and extraordinary groups? Do I think my life is too long?"
"If you were a mediocre person, I wouldn't try to persuade you, but I think you have a chance."
"What chance would give someone like me? Are you kidding me?"
Seeing Xu Le's look of wanting to give up, Ai Li frowned slightly:
"Xu Le, have you ever learned about Zion's political system?"
"I'm a weak international student. Why should I understand Zion's political system? Can I be a member of parliament after I understand it?"
Seeing that Xu Le was refusing to listen and cooperate, Ai Li did not lose his patience.
She knelt beside Xu Le and said seriously:
"I know you may have had some political experiences in Lighthouse, so you said this, but I solemnly tell you that Zion's political system is completely different from Lighthouse. You do have a chance to become a member of parliament."
Xu Le sat up. He didn't expect that his intention to start was so obvious, but Ai Li still didn't give up.
Is she serious about her work? Or is she stubborn
"Come on, tell me about it." I think you can say something to brainwash me, then you are capable.
“Although both Lighthouse and Zion are parliamentary systems, Lighthouse’s parliamentary system is a voting system, while Zion’s parliamentary system is a nine-member system.”
“What is the difference between the 9-member system and the 5-member system?”
"The difference is that the maximum number of years a Zion MP can serve is 12, and the minimum is three. After becoming a MP, one can propose an independent policy of his own."
Xu Le hesitated slightly.
"Own policies?"
"Yes, your own policies, such as you can try to recruit ancient gods, try to use special Red Moon equipment, start the Red Moon Plan, etc.
As long as it is not an outrageous policy such as surrendering to Gu Yinduo or embracing darkness, it can be tried out. Of course, it is just a trial. Whether it will succeed in the end depends on the results of the trial. "
Ai Li's statement made Xu Le narrow his eyes suddenly. This Zion, what a bold political move!
"You also said that you wanted to become a member of parliament. Our studio is about to go bankrupt. Isn't it a bit too much to tell me that you want to become a member of parliament now?"
Ai Li shook her head slightly, and took out the Heart Energy Shield that Xu Le had given her before:
"I'm not talking nonsense. I think you really have this potential, and this is your potential."
"Psychic Obscurator? One piece of research can make you a senator?"
"The Zion Progressive Conference, held every three years, will select the most outstanding research contributors in the past three years. It has nothing to do with strength, status, or wealth, only research contributions are considered.
The reward for the top research contributor is a seat in parliament.
One study may not make you a senator, but if you have enough and strong enough studies, you can.”
Xu Le straightened his back at this time, and he pondered for a while.
"Tell me more."
"There's nothing much to say. You'll understand when you go back and read the Law of Zion. In short, just show your abilities and defeat your competitors."
"What kind of competitor?" Xu Le asked curiously.
"For example, Zhang Nuoan."
Xu Le was stunned, and his two eyebrows gradually began to move to different angles.
This wave... is the backlash of a dog licker!
