After all the outsiders left the tent, Chief Wilhelm looked at Elder Ayina who was sitting at the head of the table and asked in a deep voice. Although the chief and the elder were essentially on the same level and there was no distinction between them, his
The tone was still respectful, and this respect was not only based on age, but also on experience - Elder Ayina has been in this position for eighty-nine years, and has witnessed the arrival and departure of three generations of leaders. It is said that in the past
The meeting between Solomon and the Great Spiritual Envoy of the Wushan Monastery in 2001 was completed under her coordination.
Over the long years, Elder Ayina has always relied on his wisdom and experience to guide the path forward of the Wusu tribe, avoiding countless natural and man-made disasters, so he is deeply trusted by everyone. Even other mountain tribes sometimes
He would travel thousands of miles to Mount Osor to seek advice from the wise elder, whom he respectfully called "grandmother".
As a tribesman who grew up under the earnest teachings of his old grandmother and eventually took over the position of leader, Wilhelm Dart naturally believed in her vision. Therefore, he wanted to know what the old grandmother did not accept.
What do the foreigners who come from here think about it? Is it really possible for their heroic words to replicate the saint's deeds to succeed?
"hehe."
Elder Ayina picked up the bowl of broth that had not been touched from beginning to end, took a sip, and then replied in a slow tone: "If it is him, I'm afraid it will be difficult; but if it is them,
, not necessarily."
Leader Wilhelm still understood the difference between him and them. When he thought back to the conversation just now, he realized that he had been paying attention to the young man, but ignored his companions. Perhaps.
The owner of Sun Snow deserves attention. As for the others, is there anything special about him?
He shook his head and said: "Having said that, the road to heaven is extremely difficult. Only wise and persevering people can see the way. I'm afraid it won't be effective if there are more people."
"Don't underestimate the emotions between people, Wilhelm, that is one of the cornerstones of destiny." Elder Ayina put down the bowl and looked at the door of the tent in the direction where the foreigners were leaving.
, his eyes were so deep that he seemed to be able to penetrate the wind and snow outside the tent and see a more distant place: "The fate of that young man no longer belongs to him, but is deeply connected with many people. This connection sometimes makes him
Feeling troubled, however, is undoubtedly the key to his repeated miracles."
"Do you create miracles repeatedly..."
Leader Wilhelm couldn't help but think of various legends from the outside world: he had a head-on confrontation with the construct mecha Crimson Nightgate of the Scales of Order, faced the cold power of the Grand Inquisitor in the burning night of the virtual root swamp, and went deep into the world of the United Order.
He stole intelligence from his hometown, Lundweiting City, and successfully escaped from the encirclement and suppression by the Night Watch, the Scales of Order, the Dragoons and even the Winged Mobile Troops... It is a feat for ordinary people to be able to do one of these, and he has all the feats in one.
, perhaps it can only be described as a miracle.
If Ringer heard his voice, he would definitely be surprised, because Chief Wilhelm actually understood his experience so well.
Outsiders all think that mountain tribes have lived in the mountains for a long time and know nothing about the outside world. However, this is a stereotype, especially the Mountain Guard. Their organizational form is closer to a resistance organization than a religious organization. Although they are dormant today , but it is just waiting for the time, and has never stopped collecting intelligence from the outside world, including the secular world and the mysterious world.
The most widely circulated rumors in today's mysterious world are naturally the rumors related to Ringer and others. Although they are all specious, they are spread by rumors. Some people say that they represent an ancient mysterious church, which was decided due to the "Religious Decree". They resisted the alliance of religious orders and caused the arrogant silver rabid dogs to suffer several losses; some said that they held the secrets about the alliance of religious orders and were very likely to change the structure of the world today, so they were hunted down; even worse, , swore that this was actually an internal struggle of the same secret force, and the winner would determine the new order of the world. It was once the victory of the alliance of religious orders, so the world entered the era of their rule, which lasted for eight hundred years. Year, now everything will change...
Chief Wilhelm thinks these claims are nonsense, but the stories about them cannot be false. After all, the battle in the Thalia Fields involved the Holy Spring Monks and the three Conception Gods. The huge movement attracted almost everyone. The animist believers who still remain in the Western Continent are paying attention, and although the fire in Xugen Swamp is fierce, it is impossible to burn all traces. There will always be some lucky people who escape and release the news to the outside world to let them understand that What happened on that night when the fire was blazing into the sky?
As for the matter of sneaking into the headquarters of the United Order, stealing information and escaping unscathed, let alone the last person who did this was named Solomon, but he did it as a traitor to the association. In terms of nature, It is not something that can be openly publicized.
For a long time, whether they are extraordinary people, magicians, aliens, secret societies or religious believers, they have always suffered a complete defeat in the joint confrontation with the religious orders, and have been forced to give up a lot of living space, and even retreated to the distant Western Continent. .Whether it is the Thirteen Hermits founded by Solomon or the persistence of animist believers in rituals to invite gods, they are all the struggles of those in adversity in order to survive this war.
And these outsiders of unknown origin have repeatedly caused the Union of Religions to suffer losses. Although they were just minor wounds that were insignificant, they might even have healed before the Union of Religions itself could react. However, after all, those people were able to see A glimmer of hope? Therefore, the rumors about them spread more and more widely, and became more and more exaggerated. Finally, they even spread to the remote North Ashoka Mountains, and were acquired by these mountain people who have been living in the high mountain snowfields. Know.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only the young man himself seems not to be aware of these rumors surrounding him, because he is a very special person, and he has obviously already set foot in this world. The world is always wandering around its edges, aloof, and there seems to be an essential difference between those who are addicted to extraordinary power once they come into contact with it, and their minds are full of thinking about getting stronger.
What exactly does this difference mean? Chief Wilhelm is not sure, but this special feature is the reason why the leader is willing to invest in him, just like the reason why the ancestors of the Shatotto people were willing to help Saint Tomi
, isn’t it also because you think that man is special?
This is the only reason that is enough.
"So," Chief Wilhelm suddenly whispered, as if he was asking his grandmother, but also seemed to be asking his own heart: "It must be the right choice for us to send Sontaya to him, right?"
"Whether it is correct or not is not decided by us, but by that child Songtaya." Elder Ayina sighed softly: "I am indeed expecting her to make a choice, but what is right and what is wrong?
Not really. I just think that Xia Tuotuo's future should not be placed on a child in any case. It would be too heavy a responsibility for her, and it would be too heavy a responsibility for the proud mountain people.
Such a shame."
Hearing these words, Chief Wilhelm clenched his fists subconsciously, and after a while slowly released them. He squeezed out a low reply from his throat: "If Sontaya decides to leave, I will take her place."
Position. Perhaps, I am not as good as her in terms of devotion to Master Shanfu, but my strength should be enough to make up for the gap in belief."
"But what changes does that make?"
Elder Ayina glanced at him, her eyes filled with helpless sadness: "Even if you are the leader and Songtaya is just a child who has not yet grown up, the essence of this matter is that we still place our hopes on
The body of a certain person, expecting individual sacrifices in exchange for collective benefits - this is not what mountain people should be like. We are proud and united, just like the mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. They seem to be separated, but in fact their roots are
All connected together, under that earth."
The old grandmother said meaningfully: "Rochelle did not understand this truth, so she made a mistake and involved many innocent people in this disaster, but the mountain people should not make a second mistake."
Hearing that familiar name from Elder Ayina's mouth, Chief Wilhelm couldn't help but fall silent.
Rochelle, a traveler of the Fertile Soil Sect, is not a Xia Totuo, but he is also a mountain man. He comes from the mountains in the northern highlands. He believes in Titan, the earth mother spiritual god who shares the authority of the earth with the mountain father. He met Sally in
The worship ceremony held in Yawei caused a huge disaster and was the most serious blow to animism since the promulgation of the "Religious Decree". After that incident, even the Diocese of Heidelbrosburg, which had never cared about the Mountain Guard,
, have strengthened the comprehensive martial law in the Eastern Alps Mountains, and even mobilized the troops of the Balance of Order, seeming to want to take this opportunity to eradicate them completely.
Fortunately, it happened to be the snow season at that time, and with the blessing of the gods of the snow-capped mountains, the blizzard fell particularly violently. On the one hand, it caused extremely heavy losses to the mountain tribes, and on the other hand, it also prevented the troops from the combined religious orders from entering.
Searching in the mountains indirectly preserves the legacy of the Mountain Guard.
The wind and snow are ruthless things in the world. Since they are protected by the snow-capped mountains, they should make due offerings.
But, how long can this kind of blessing last?
If you are satisfied just by relying on the glory of the gods, how should you choose what you can do as a son of man? He once ascended to heaven with his own perseverance, and later taught hunting and gathering to the ancestors of the Shatoto people
Is this the kind of scene Tumi, the saint of all kinds of skills, wants to see? In any case, the mountain people should find their own way out.
So see your own path clearly, Sontaya, and then also see the path of the mountain people.
Leader Wilhelm slowly closed his eyes and sank into a deep darkness.
The last thing that came to my ears was the somewhat emotional voice of Elder Ayina: "After the tribe settles down in Osor Mountain, we should seize the time to contact the people of the Wushan Hermitage."
"Since you have been entrusted by others, you should do it with all your heart."
"This is the way we and other mountain people behave."
…
At this time, Songtaya still didn't know what kind of high hopes the leader and elders had for her. Although Linge and others repeatedly said that they didn't need it, the girl Xia Tuotuo still sent these guests all the way back to the Cloud Whale Sky Island.
Valley, and then waved to them goodbye: "Goodbye, everyone, and Miss Hino and Brandy, let's play together next time! Ah, I said play with me, not with other people!"
In the end, I deliberately emphasized that I was obviously very dissatisfied with the friends in the tribe. Who let them ride Brandy, which made me lose the capital to show off. But it doesn’t matter, they can only ride once, and I can ride
The second time, the third time... or even hundreds of times, when the time comes, I will still make them envious to death!
Girl Xia Tuotuo didn't realize that she was the one who betrayed her friends first, and she didn't even reflect on it at all. This made everyone funny and a little helpless at the same time, but she didn't say anything. Although she was very smart, she always put on a show.
I act like I am very mature, but in the final analysis, Sontaya is just a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.
After bidding farewell to the friend she had just met, Songtaya turned around and embarked on the road back to the tribe. It was already dusk, and the bloody setting sun was gradually sinking to the west, half of it being swallowed up by the mountains of the Eastern Alps.
Body, the gorgeous dusk comes from the end of the big sea of Ismir trees, gradually flooding every corner of the northern Ashoka Mountain belt, dyeing the forests in the sea of mist into deep twilight, and the snow on the mountain tops seems to be burning.
When I got up, the fire spread between the mountains, and the entire white world was suddenly covered in orange-red and orange-gold, which was the last bright color before nightfall.
The little figure of the girl Xia Tuotuo carried the twilight on her back and faced the setting sun. She moved as nimble as a cub anxious to return to its nest, crossing the snow pit and climbing over the mountain col, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. Ringer
Then he withdrew his gaze, lowered his voice and asked Saint Xalia beside him: "What do you think of her?"
"A very lively and lovable child." The shepherd girl said softly: "But he has the smell of a god, just like-"
She was about to say a name, but she stopped suddenly because she was worried about Ringer. The young man understood it and slowly shook his head: "I'm afraid it's different. She doesn't seem to have this awareness herself."
"Do you want to help her?" Saint Shalia asked.
"I don't know what Chief Wilhelm and Elder Ayina think. It seems that rashly intervening in other people's family affairs is not what guests should do..." The young man paused for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, he changed his mind: "I will
I want to find an opportunity to remind her, but this kind of thing doesn’t seem very convincing to me. I know there is someone on the island who is more suitable than me."
Saint Xalia was thoughtful and already understood who the person Ringer was talking about.
If it were her, she would be very convincing indeed.
