Chapter 12: The Divine Power That Needs to Be Sublimated (5600, 1st Update)
In the mist, I felt a fresh sea breeze.
In a deep stupor, Sara awoke from a long nightmare.
Immediately, she quickly realized that the dark and eerie dungeons of Sunset City were no longer around, and the air was no longer filled with the power of binding magic that weakened the prisoner's physical strength.
"Where am I?"
The girl blinked a little confusedly, and then she saw the source of the fresh sea breeze that had come from before—the endless, turquoise sea of splenery.
The water was churning with the waves, and the rumbling tide made her wake up quickly.
"Wait, haven't I been captured by the Fire People, locked in prison, and then put on trial?"
"Why am I at the beach? Could it be that this is paradise? I'm already dead? ”
Although he came to his senses, it brought even greater confusion.
Sara is not a girl who knows nothing about the world, she has always lived with her tribe on the sea, and she knows very well that her own people who live on the sea and the people of fire and wind who live on the earth are enemies of each other.
Since he was caught, even if he was not a pirate, he would definitely not be able to escape the end of being judged.
What's more, Sara still remembers, before she fell unconscious, she was about to be taken to trial and execution.
In that case, is this the kingdom of the god of wind? Could it be ...... Can they be accepted by the gods even if they have turned their backs on the path of the god of wind?
Thinking about this with some confusion in her mind, the Wind People girl's eyes rolled, but she saw a gray-haired priest on the beach not far away, following behind a black-haired young man, as if communicating something.
The gray-haired priest was tall and had a heavy tin book around his waist, his face was a little old, but his eyes were bright.
And because the black-haired young man had his back to this side, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he could only sense a solemn and grand aura...... But just by such a back, his presence transcends the entire ocean, as if he is the center of the world.
- Who are they and why are they here?
The Wind Folk may be inferior to the Fire Folk in terms of dexterity, but they are far superior in terms of basic visual hearing.
Sarah, who was a little uneasy and didn't know what was going on, listened a little and heard the sound of their conversation.
"Ammon, why can't the divine power of the gods extend into the sea?"
This was the voice of the black-haired young man, a voice that was sacred, as if it had not come from this realm, but had descended from the world from a long distance, and his tone was indifferent: "And what about those guys who live in the sea?" ”
- People of the Sea? Could it be that it's a topic related to yourself?!
Suddenly, Sara held her breath, closed her eyes, and pretended to be unconscious while she calmed down to listen.
"My lord, I don't really know much about pirates."
Standing on the edge of the beach with Su Sun, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, Ammon looked at the shadow of the island looming at the end of the sea level in the distance, and said in a solemn tone: "But at least one thing, there is no doubt about it. ”
"That's the origin of all pirates, from a 'rebellion' more than a hundred years ago. A rebellion that took place in the Central Sanctuary and spread throughout the Flame Nation - and at that time, you unleashed a powerful punishment that had never been seen before, killing many of the rebels. ”
"However, some of the rebels survived, they fled to sea, and for some reason, your heavenly punishment was terminated when they left the mainland. These survivors wandered the islands and evolved into the many pirates that now roam the Seven Seas. ”
"What kind of rebellion is it?"
“…… I'm sorry, my lord, but that's at least the news that only the senior Chosen One can get, and the Divine Ones, and I don't have enough authority to know. ”
Ammon shook his head slightly, he thought back to the pirates who attacked the Temple of Sunset City a few months ago and took away the fragments of the Soul of the Source Water, and his voice couldn't help but bring a hint of disgust: "But no matter what, those who live on the sea are lawless lawless people who defy the Codex. ”
"They don't know love and friendship, family affection and morality, they only know plunder, killing, doing as they please, and ......"
"Nonsense!"
A clear, slightly annoyed female voice rang out.
Suddenly, Amon turned sideways in surprise and looked behind him.
And Su Sun, who had long known that the other party had woken up, also turned his head with interest and looked in the direction where the Wind People girl was.
"We, the people of the sea, are not monsters who only know how to plunder and kill, and don't know about family and friendship!"
You can see that the Wind People Girl has already stood up, and the wings of the mimic long hair behind her vibrate slightly, looking as if the long hair is automatic without wind.
In the face of the slander against herself and her family, out of a moment of anger, she couldn't help but get up and loudly reprimanded the gray-haired priest's slander: "We just live on an island, we don't depend on the Lord, we live on our own—and not all of us are those pirate lunatics, don't confuse us with them!" ”
But soon, after saying this, she stiffened, realizing the folly of her actions, and suddenly Sara crouched down again, her head in her hands, and trembling.
- Oops, Oops! One of these two people is a priest, and although he doesn't know what his identity is, he looks very strong, and the priest is also respectful to him......
Me, am I going to die?
However, after a brief silence, Sara did not receive the rebuke and attack she had imagined.
"Can you tell me about that?"
Su Sun turned around, he looked at the somewhat frightened Wind People girl, and asked in a calm tone, "Tell me, the specific situation of the inhabitants of the sea." ”
Grandeur and majesty.
As she was stared at by the blue and purple dragon eyes, Sara felt like she was being watched by the overlord of the frightened sea, a sea demon whale that was enough to resist several Chosen ones.
No, it's a hundred times more majestic than the sea devil whale!
However, there is no sense of oppression unexpectedly.
It's like facing the sea, facing the sky, in the dark, facing the endless starry sky above your head – you are small, but when you look up at it, you don't have to worry about it hurting you.
For a while, looking at Su Sun, although Sara forgot her fear and fear, she also forgot to reply.
It wasn't until the gray-haired priest on the side coughed slightly and gave a hint that she came back to her senses, lowered her head and muttered, "Okay, okay." ”
After some time.
"The two adults, we, the people of the sea, don't have a very good relationship with those pirates."
Around Sunset City, along the coast of the Caper Sea.
On the shore, at a campfire, the Windfolk girl, who hadn't eaten for a long time, took a skewer of grilled fish from Ammon's helpless face, and then, regardless of whether it was hot or not, she couldn't wait to open her mouth and bite it.
Sarah's mouth was full of fine, sharp, and incomparably hard teeth—a characteristic of the blood-soaked Wind People.
With a bite and a bite of the fish bone, the hungry girl took a bite of the fish and swallowed it into her stomach, then spoke contentedly, and continued: "Although it is true that there are some people in our tribe who choose to join the pirates, most of the time, we actually live on our respective islands, and we do not offend them. ”
"Of course, they do want to plunder us all the time, but who told us to live in a remote place and not be bad in strength? What's more, there are very dangerous sea beasts roaming around, and if it is not necessary, those pirates will not risk sinking their ships, after all, the islands they occupy are also self-sufficient, and there is no reason to fight us. ”
"Is that so. It turns out that on the sea, there are not only pirates, but also you 'people of the sea'? ”
Sitting in front of Sarah, Su Yan, who already had a general understanding of the other party's situation, looked at the rather cheerful and talkative girl in front of him with great interest, and the girl with a good mentality, he sat on a reef, and there was no god shelf: "And it sounds like your tribe in the past did not seem to be from the Holy Fire Continent, but from the New World, the real Wind People?" ”
This is not Su Sun's random speculation, but in his eyes, Sara does give him the same feeling as the former god of wind.
For example, Sarah's hair, as well as the headdress, although it appears to be real hair, is actually a mimicry of her wings.
And the ornament that looks like a belt around the girl's abdomen is actually a mimicry of the opponent's second opponent.
Although Sara is still far from the level of the wind god in the past, and even the clothes on her body are simulated by exoskeleton armor, at least, the appearance and form that are close to half of that of a human are indeed the result of simulation.
"Yes, my lord, we are indeed from the Continent of Wind."
In this regard, Sara simply admitted Su Sun's speculation: "On our side, you are the old continent." ”
"Then why did you turn your back on the Lord of the Wind, leave the continent, and go to sea?"
"This ......"
Sensing that Sara was quite hesitant, she cast a somewhat fearful gaze at Amon on the side, Su Sun stretched out her hand and waved: "It's okay, I don't mind." ”
“…… The Lord doesn't mind, and I have no reason to mind. The gray-haired priest shook his head slightly and spoke.
Although he still felt a little awkward in his heart, since God didn't care, what else could he say?
"Well, I'll just say ......"
After making sure that Su Sun and Ammon's attitude was indeed not like that of the other Fire People and Wind People, Sara calmed down, and then said briefly, "Because there is no freedom. ”
"Under the Lord's rule, we have no freedom."
Opening with such a sentence, Sara took a breath and then began a brief but concise narrative.
The situation of the Wind People and the New World was much simpler than Su Sun had imagined.
According to the Apocalypse of the D&A, after the God of Wind created a new era with Su Sun and Elias, He re-elevated a group of Wind People, or Wormmen, to live with them.
However, after Su Sun left, because the living habits of the insects and humans did conflict, in order to avoid conflicts between the two sides and destroy the hard-won peace, the wind god and Elias worked together to separate the seas and move most of the wind people to the New World.
This is the process of separation between the people of wind and fire—and the stories that take place in it, as well as the relationship between the gods, are collectively called 'parting.'"
But unlike humans, insect people evolved from insects after all, and the social clusters of the Wind People are very different from the Fire People.
"Every tribe can only do the same kind of work, and we divide labor with each other to form the entire society of the people of the wind."
Having gnawed all the bones and eaten them all, Sara regained a little strength and sat in front of the campfire, her hands resting on her chin, staring at the flames that danced in front of her.
The Breezfolk girl seemed to be recalling the inheritance memories in her own bloodline, and as she pondered, she repeated seriously: "Spider-Man can only sew, A-Man can only work, Ant-Man does nothing but farm, and a bee-man like me has to be a flower farmer for a lifetime to collect honey." ”
"Even those tribes who are responsible for exploring the new continent can only explore the continent for a lifetime, and everyone has a corresponding job reservation as soon as they are born, and it will not change."
She looked up at the sky, which was already darkened and began to appear sunset and starlight, and Sara muttered, "Although, those jobs are the most suitable for us, but after all, we are wise and living people, and there will always be dissatisfaction—it's not surprising that occasionally Ant-Man also wants to explore the frontier, and occasionally Bee-Man also wants to engage in art, right?" ”
At this point, the Windfolk girl, who looked to be in her early teens, but didn't really know how big she was, showed a look that was almost 'frightened', her gaze became misty as she stared at the campfire, and muttered, "But the Lord, the Lord has melted into our souls. The Lord has become the bridge between our Zerg tribes, a 'network consciousness' that binds us all together. ”
"Through this network, the minds of all the worms are gradually fused together, and our minds are gradually synchronized and shared with other people's minds, so that we can know each other's joys, sorrows, and sorrows...... But that feeling, like a drop of water merging into a sea, sent shivers down the shoulders of my ancestors. ”
Hearing this, Amon didn't feel anything yet, but Su Sun frowned.
- Cluster consciousness?
He remembered the Heavenly Demon he had seen in Qingqiu Star not long ago, and the great existence 'Fate' behind the Heavenly Demon.
——Whether it is the covenant binding the people, or the consciousness of this cluster, it is a civilization and life form that is fatally optimistic...... Elias and the god of wind both used this method to lead their people, could it be said that they were all affected by fate?
All this was just speculation, and the thoughts in his heart flashed, and Su Tian calmed down and continued to listen to Sarah.
The Windfolk girl didn't notice Su Day's distraction for a moment, her expression was a hint of fear and confusion, and she recounted the memories in her blood: "We know that the Lord loves us and wants us to care for each other, He wants us to be the best, and the work assigned according to each person's talents is naturally the most suitable for us. The freedom of choice is obviously not the best choice. ”
With a light sigh, Sara raised her head, she looked at Su Sun and Ammon, her eyes still lingering with a little fear from her inherited memory: "However, my ancestors, and me, could not accept that kind of life—so my ancestors left the Wind Continent and went to the sea, and engraved this memory firmly in our blood. ”
"In this way, we will be free from the web created by the Lord and will be free to choose how we live!"
After a pause, Sara turned her head and looked at Ammon who was frowning, she waved her hand and emphasized: "Your Excellency, I know that you have a great misunderstanding of us Sea People, but you must know that we are not like pirates, we only pursue freedom, but we never interfere with the freedom of others!" ”
"And those pirates are the thugs who like to interfere with other people's freedom!"
"Well, now I know, Miss Sarah."
After hearing all this, Ammon nodded a little heavily.
If it was really because of this reason that he left the mainland, he actually agreed a little in his heart.
After all, the Covenants of the Fire People are numerous, but they never bind 'who should do what'.
"Could it be that the Lord of the Wind did something wrong?"
Even, in Ammon's heart, there was such a thought that could have been considered a great rebellion in the past: "At least according to Sarah, their choice is not a 'sin', and it can even be said to be an act worthy of encouragement." ”
"Then why, before I met the Lord, I didn't have the slightest desire to understand the thoughts of the people of the sea, but I was just disgusted, no matter what they said, I didn't believe it?"
Ever since he chose to follow Su Sun, the gray-haired priest had found that he had a faint suspicion of all the oaths and creeds in the Covenant in his heart.
It's not that he doubts, but that Ammon understands that since God makes mistakes, people must also make mistakes, misunderstandings and prejudices.
The prejudice between the people of fire has long disappeared due to the constraints of the covenant, but for the people of the sea, no one has ever corrected their prejudice against them - most of them have never seen pirates in their lives, let alone lived in the sea themselves, but they can criticize each other's way of life and morals, this kind of thinking, one thing to say, is indeed strange.
Although Ammon did not fully believe Sarah's words now, what Sara said was logical, and the Lord did not doubt that the other party was not lying...... That's okay to believe it.
At this time, Su Sun, who had relieved his thoughtlessness, nodded slightly—he could be sure that Sara was indeed telling the truth.
The bloodline memory of the people of the wind is like the bloodline inheritance of the mimicry family, and it is recorded that the ancestors who left this memory really saw and heard, and it is almost impossible to be false, and the heart of thoughtlessness can determine this.
Moreover, whether it is the living conditions of the Wind People or the reason for the rebellion of Sara and her clan, it is very real.
"I see, is this the order chosen by the God of Wind?"
The young man thought so, and then couldn't help but sigh: "The will of the group, or rather, the collective of spiritual networks. In addition to the division of labor among the populations, this is true for generations, and it is indeed a way of life suitable for the civilization of insect swarms. ”
Insects are indeed a large race with extreme differentiation in what they are good at, and it is indeed inherently inherently efficient for a group to do a kind of work—just like letting ants burrow, bees to build nests, dragonflies to explore, and spiders to sew...... What's so strange about that?
Instead, it is not normal to let ants fly, dragonflies to spin silk, and bees to run to dig holes and grow mushrooms.
However, it is also normal to want the freedom to choose the job you want instead of the one you are good at.
"I see, that's the 'freedom to choose the wrong one'......"
But in a sense, it is also an evil for the Zermen and for the civilization of the Wind People. After all, if all the Zerg ignore their innate talent and do other work indiscriminately, then the Zerg civilization will undoubtedly be chaotic.
'Freedom to choose evil'.
Although he had been thinking about it for a long time, Sara's words did make Su Sun more aware of what Yara said to him a long time ago, also in the reincarnation world, after he killed the god of water, what was going on with that kind of 'freedom to choose evil'.
That's all part of the right, but it's not all the right thing.
- If this is also evil, then as a demon eater, I do not want to be hostile to it.
Feeling something, all of a sudden, the blue-purple 'Heavenly Soul' that condensed all his supernatural powers in Su Sun's soul began to tremble slightly.
Like the Dragon Ball, the 'Heavenly Soul Karma' that shines brightly in Su Day's soul space is like a star at this time, constantly spewing out streams of spiritual power like a corona, illuminating all the darkness.
At the core of the supernatural power entwined with countless runes, something new is beginning to be derived.
And in the hearts of young people, a kind of enlightenment is born.
"The supernatural nature of the Demon Devouring Lord has begun to fail to keep up with my needs."
"It needs to be sublimated."
