Chapter 3 Lu Si: Eight Natures
The palace was empty and deserted. Marshall looked outside the gate and could vaguely see the smoke rising from the surroundings, as well as the lush green trees. Beyond the interspersed green trees, there seemed to be a thin city wall. According to According to her judgment, this palace is not located on a mountain, but it is also the highest point in this area. This "nothing land" is not nothing, but the palace here seems to have been abandoned for a lot of time. .
"Can we go out?" Marshall tried to say, "There is nothing here. I want to see what is in this [nothing place]."
"Miss Marshall, I don't recommend that you go out now. If you go out, you will definitely be defeated by those orcs with ill intentions." Wu Wenwen said politely, "If you listen to the history of Yaris that I told you, you will You will definitely know the reason why I organized you to go out."
Marshall nodded. Going out rashly was not an option. Judging from Wu's tone, the relationship between orcs and humans here was not very good.
"At the beginning of the founding of Yaris, the king of Yaris, the first generation Jonny, signed a contract with the Dragon Butler under World Tree Destino."
"Butler Long?"
"The Dragon Clan... is the only race directly blessed by Destino, the World Tree." Wu carefully explained, "Only they can abandon the earth and fly in the sky. The Dragon Clan itself is extremely rare. As the representatives of World Tree in the world, we respectfully call them 'Dragon Butlers'. Their whereabouts are unpredictable, and everything is within easy reach for them. They could be transcendent of matter, but they are extremely cunning and cunning... .Besides the Dragon Steward executing the orders of the World Tree, they have never done anything good. They are a collection of the eight sinful natures of the orcs."
"Eight evil natures? Since they do so many evil things, why do you still call them Dragon Butlers?"
"If you don't do this outside this city, you are just asking for death." Wu shook his head, "Do you know what the purpose of this city and the [Equal Key] in your hand is?"
Marshall shook his head.
"[The Key of Gongequ] is called Gongequ because it can forcefully normalize the power of all life forms within a certain range, whether they are wolf orcs, tiger orcs, dragons, or others. .....No one can escape its scope! Dragons can switch between their own bodies and human forms, skipping the runic life level jump stage. I don’t quite understand what this is specifically, because it is What King Yaris said at that time..."
"If we talk about the specific eight natures, we have to go back to the original origin of the communication between orcs and humans in Pangia and Rubis."
"Although orcs have intelligence similar to humans, we still can't get rid of our animal nature. At most, we can only suppress it for a moment. At certain times of the year, we will be unable to stop ourselves from falling into madness, and everything will fall into chaos. And these eight kinds of Nature represents the eight largest ethnic groups on this continent..."
"Of course, these eight natures are also what you Yaris people have set for us. After all, the languages we speak now are all passed down from you. If it weren't for the common language, the current orc tribe would definitely not be able to reach the level of the city within the city. Beyond this level.”
"Before humans came to this continent, we were completely limited by our instincts and nature. Humanity was squeezed to an extremely small level by instincts. It was not just the killing between groups, but also the killing of each other within the group, and the devouring of young. It was very common to have cubs. At that time, we did not have a unified language, and communication between groups was impossible. We were no different from wild beasts at that time. We lived in the embrace of fear and hunger all day long. If you don’t have the last meal, you will even kill your spouse secretly to eat it.”
"This, this is terrible!" Marshall covered his mouth and looked pale, "So, what did we bring to you to make you what you are today?"
"The first is language, and the second is human whims." Wu said with a smile, "People at that time first divided the nature of each ethnic group into roughly eight types: arrogance, jealousy, rage, indifference, laziness, greed, Gluttony, and lust. Arrogance is the head of nature, and the specific representatives are the chief sins: Dragon. The cat represents jealousy, the ape represents rage, the lizard represents indifference, the bear represents laziness, the fox represents greed, and the boar represents Gluttony, and the sheep represent lust.”
"Why are they divided into eight types of nature? How does this relate to [the land of nothing]?" Marshall seemed to remember something from Chun's words. He seemed to have said that there seemed to be a city within Lubis, as long as Entering this city, you no longer need to worry and run around in danger.
"Only by abandoning everything and letting go of your animal nature can you gain further humanity. We have long been tired of this nightmare-like life. We are vaguely looking forward to if there is something that can break this deadlock. And you humans send Here comes the dawn of progress for us orcs. We were born from beasts, and our minds were enlightened by rune magic, but we have no way to educate ourselves."
"Humanity has reached an agreement with various orc races. If we can help you establish a nation, you can provide us with a comfortable place. There, we will leave behind all opinions and hatred, leave behind hunger, thirst and restlessness, and embrace warmth. .This is the beginning of the name "The Land of Nothing"."
"Although most people in most tribes did not agree, there were always a small number of people who reached preliminary agreements with the people, took the lead in coming into contact with people's writing and culture, and built an unprecedented mixed-race city in the deepest part of the forest. , and it is also the only city within Lubis.”
"At that time, the [Equal Key] had not been made. We gathered the strength of the entire clan to defeat one of the Dragon Butlers, killed him, and put the favor given by Destino inside into this key. Among the small keys, it has the ability to make all things completely equal to each other. We apply dragon's blood on the city wall, and the dragon's blood can suppress our nature and allow us to treat people of different races from ourselves normally."
"Of course, a large number of orcs also came to Pangaia to participate in the construction of the Vatican, the capital of Yaris. After all, the two parties have signed a mutually beneficial contract, and the original group of orcs also settled in Yaris. Although they worked hard at that time, But it must be happy."
Marshall couldn't help but ask: "But...why did the prosperous scene turn into what it is now? Even the palace was abandoned..."
"Although our bestiality has been suppressed, we have underestimated the dark side of human nature... Although the conflicts on the bright side have been resolved, the conflicts on the dark side have continued. As the leaders of the orcs, humans have actually
The fourth generation was assassinated by the original Fox Clan! The city has since fallen into chaos. Although new humans have taken over, this chaos shows no signs of stopping. The orcs seem to be unable to bear the leadership of humans, and they deeply hope
Only then can you become the ruler of this city!"
"We, the werewolves, voluntarily become the guardian clan of you humans. We firmly believe that if this city loses its original intention, it will soon be destroyed. And every king of Yaris has the responsibility to revive [the land of nothing]
Great job! Miss Marshall, although you are still young now
, but I believe that you will definitely be able to unify this city with your power! In this city, the power of dragon blood is gradually dissipating, and the repressed nature is growing day by day. These eight evil natures are once again released from their prisons.
came out, racial conflicts reappeared in such cities."
"Now, this city is divided into six areas. Except for arrogance and indifference, the remaining six areas are occupied by the corresponding races... The original circulation environment has become extremely stagnant.
.Although the current situation is not optimistic,...Miss Marshall, the key in your hand will be the key to solving the difficulty!"
"If you can change this city back to its original appearance, we will definitely do our best to solve your problems! Even if we go through fire and water, we will do it!" Wu knelt down on one knee. After making such remarks, he believed,
There is almost no one who will not fall under his words!
But the little girl in front of her looked embarrassed and uttered the next few words: "I...can you wait for me for a few years?"
"Ah? Ah! Of course, how many years is it?"
"Almost six years or so." Marshall said with a hint of shame, "I am not capable enough now. Even if I stay, it will only hold me back. I will work hard to become stronger and strive to bring this city back to its original glory!"
"Oh, oh..." Wu looked very hurt. He stood up, his tail hanging on the ground, "I, I will wait, waiting for your return."
"It's not like we won't meet anymore. I will come here from time to time. If you can, please take me out of the palace and let me know about the outside world."
Wu nodded and said: "Yes, but Miss needs to prepare a robe to cover the body. Appearing in a human form will always cause commotion. By the way, if the [Principal Key] in your hand leaves this palace, the plant will
It will fill up again very quickly..."
"It is a relic left by my father to me. I hope I can keep it close to my heart." Marshall said firmly, "Can I just put the blood on the key and I can go back?"
"Yes, miss."
If she didn't go back, she would probably be suspected by others. Marshall said goodbye to Wu casually, hurried through the corridor, returned to the original mountain stream, opened his palm with the key, and jumped into the space gate.
Wu watched Marshall leave from a distance, his eyes fixed on the sometimes bright, sometimes simple key, and his hands gradually grasped it.
"If it were that simple, it wouldn't be...sigh." Wu sighed, returned to the dilapidated palace, took out a hooded robe from behind the throne, lowered his head, and put it on his On the body.
