wandering fairy
Chapter 118 The Pyramid of Violence
Those two or three-story super-large Azeroth water elementals are still chasing after them, even killing them all!
Its face without facial features suddenly made the sound of rapid water flow, as if it was a special magic language, and then waved its arms, swaying blue-green water arrows, flying densely like rain to those figures. Tall subgiants.
The water arrows are too dense to avoid! The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" rose all around, and the sub-giants who were concentrated by water arrows seemed to be hit by waves of sledgehammers, and they all screamed "Aiya, aiya" and collapsed down the city wall.
And below, the powerful chain lightning of the large air elemental was waiting for them!After the electric shot ran wildly with a splash, several sub-giants lay on the ground
The situation suddenly reversed again!Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Dongzi calmly noticed a phenomenon-the sub-giant's thick armor seemed to be ineffective against water arrows!The effect of those water arrows hitting them was like magic missiles!Could it be that these water arrows are not hurting people by impact, but are used to transmit special offensive energy to kill the enemy?
At this moment, there was a huge "woo hoo" horn sound in the distance, and the sub-giant immediately flew back with a strange scream when it heard the sound, and the speed was not slower than when it came.
It turned out that their patriarch and priest, Salomon, knew that they could not win after seeing the appearance of the super-large water element, so he decisively ordered them to withdraw to preserve their last strength.
The corpses of more than a dozen sub-giants were scattered on the city wall, and the few who survived were covered in blood and struggled to get up. They desperately cursed the despicable humans in the giant language they couldn't understand.Then, under the bombardment of bows and arrows and magic missiles, it was scattered into pieces of rotten meat.
The human soldiers immediately raised their arms and cheered "Oh, oh".There was a look of ecstasy on everyone's face.Several people even hugged their heads in pain.The scene of escaping from the dead just now was too shocking.A moment ago, the powerful enemy was sweeping the poor soldiers around the city wall like a tyrannical storm, but the next moment they retreated like an ebb tide.How can this miraculous victory not be exciting?
So they looked at the miracle maker--Dongzi's expression became very respectful, as if they were meeting a certain big pope.I almost knelt down and bowed down.Even the old priest of the Earth Goddess, after treating the wounded, ran over to greet him very respectfully, and invited him to sit in his small temple.Because the old priest knew that "summoning super large elements" was an 8th-level spell.People who can easily use this kind of scepter must have great power behind them!It's good to be able to make friends
Dongzi nodded in agreement.When they were about to leave, those human soldiers were already packing up the spoils.I saw a few of them laboriously moving the big ax and the sharp-toothed club together, cutting through the thick leather armor on the sub-giant, and even began to cut up the flesh of the dead body!
While cutting large pieces, they talked and laughed, showing no discomfort at all.They even said: "This piece of meat belongs to me. The liver inside is for you", "Don't cut the skin of this place! It can be used to make fine coats", "Cut the tongue and heart together Boil soup. It can make a very wonderful taste."Dongzi looked back at the old pastor again, with a familiar expression, and did not show any unbearable or uncomfortable expression because of his "good camp".
Dongzi's heart suddenly became serious, people can't bear to look like himself.But looking at these people, all of them have the taste of "strong men hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood", which shows that the racial antagonism is very serious!
He followed the old priest to the only small temple in the city, while continuing to think: Today's battle seems to be easy to win, but in fact most of it is due to the oppressive power of the large air element and the super large water element.Without the help of these two high-ranking guys, those ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to win!Even if the number is doubled, it's just a pile of rotten grains!The sub-giant savage fighters swung clean with just a few axes!And it is also difficult for the arcane vanguards to fight against the high-speed slams used by the humanoid rhinoceros-like sub-giant in close combat!Because in front of that storm-like attack and killing. **** It is quite difficult to cast a spell smoothly.What's more, they are all just low-level spells?
Another example is that if you don't need to hide your identity in this battle, as soon as the sub-giants come out of the woods, they will use serial lightning to carry out uninterrupted intensive attacks. Even if they can't kill most of them, they can greatly reduce their speed and momentum, so that others have a chance Use more long-range attacks, so this battle will not be overwhelming.
Advanced spells played an irreplaceable role here!
Dongzi suddenly understood why the gap between rich and poor in this world is so huge!
Because order is based on violence!And in this world, the violence of spellcasters dominates both in power and in number!For example, today, if a mage who knows the sixth-level chain lightning carries a chain lightning scroll made by himself, it will be more effective than five hundred ordinary soldiers in full armor!It should be known that all those sub-giants wearing weird insect armor can easily count as ten!Really fight for life. It is not impossible to "block fifty with one"!In addition to using the corresponding spells to restrain them.It's almost impossible to find a better way!
It is also because of this that mages, priests, especially high mages and priests play an irreplaceable role in the entire human society!Not just because of their personal combat power.It is because they can use scrolls, staffs and other forms to provide powerful violence to other people or organizations. Of course, these spellcasters have become the cornerstone of order!It also holds the core power of order.
The so-called "government grows out of the barrel of a gun", when power is controlled by a few people, wealth and power will inevitably be controlled by these people!This is like a feudal society. When violence is in the hands of the knights of the nobles, the nobles undoubtedly have irreversible power.Maybe you can kill a noble or even a group of nobles, but you can't eliminate an entire noble class. ^^^^Only when muskets appeared, a peasant could "beat" a knight.It was only possible to overthrow the aristocracy.Don't underestimate this "conquerable", it is a huge leap!It should be known that before the musket was mature, a poor and inexperienced farmer wanted to kill a well-trained knight who was armed to the teeth on the battlefield.That's just nonsense!But with muskets, the dream becomes a manifestation. For the common people, the meaning of this leap forward is like a human landing on the moon!
The history of later generations on earth also shows.When force gradually spread to the hands of the masses, the era when a few people held power and monopolized all interests slowly passed away.This is exactly "with power comes status"!When one class can confront another, the interests have to be spread among more people.After entering the era of mechanized and electronic industries, this phenomenon is even more obvious: on the surface, an army composed of tanks can kill countless civilians wantonly, but in fact the strength of this army does not come from itself, but From the makers of gunpowder, from the makers of steel, from the makers of electronic systems, from the makers of various other parts.And these manufacturers who want to make these "powers" come from the miners, from the material processors, from the transporters, from the welders, the coilers, the casters, the drafters, the riveters; It comes from thousands of other ordinary people. In other words, the strength of this army actually comes from countless ordinary civilians!This is an inevitable situation caused by socialized mass production.
If you treat civilians harshly, it is not just suppressing civilians.It is suppressing the army itself!It will cause the development of the army itself to stagnate or even retreat.And those societies that do not oppress the poor.Its army strength will gradually increase until it surpasses the former, and finally devours it completely!
So when the majority has the power or the power belongs to the majority, ordinary people have the opportunity to be a little less oppressed.It's a pity that power in this world only belongs to a few people, a few top figures.
For other civilians and even some middle-class people, the front is the dense wolf teeth of the upper class, and the back is the ferocious tiger mouth of the foreign race.Caught in dire straits, unable to advance or retreat!
This is also the reason why those mid-level and low-level mages are desperately trying to climb up to high positions.Those who are not suitable for cannibalism are those who are eaten by others.There is no other choice.
Dongzi sighed secretly.It's not right to live in this world.On the social pyramid, the higher the place, the more brilliant and splendid, and the lower the place, the more dusty capital, with no future.When I looked up, I saw the small temple of the old pastor in front of me.
At first glance, it looks like a small two-story hotel, and at first glance, it looks as bleak as the old mage robes on the old priest, and it is quite old.The appearance is still neat, but there are a few traces of flaked stone flakes on the blue-gray stone walls, and the wooden beams and columns are also slightly swollen, like a middle-aged man squatting.Although tall and burly, his skin is rough and fleshy.The old state has been shown.
But around the house, there are some emerald green shrubs about one person tall, and the lovely leaves are as tender as pieces of emerald products.Crystal clear and attractive.It seems that countless flying jade pieces surround the sturdy and tall ancient small temple, which highlights a kind of vigorous vitality.
Walking into the interior of the temple, apart from some neat seats, there is a medium-sized altar in the front.There is a complex and vivid magical atmosphere exuding there.Dongzi took a closer look, and there were several circles of neat runes engraved on the altar, like a special magic circle emitting a halo-like effect.
Dongzi used the primordial spirit to perform passive sensing, and immediately found that the entire big room was filled with the magic effect of "soothing the mind", which can offset people's negative emotions and calm the mind.Hehe, compared to many people who are hopeless in life, they like to come here, because as soon as they come in, they will forget their boredom and distress, and over time they will have a feeling of dependence on the Mother Earth.
After further induction, I found that the "density" of positive energy here is relatively high, which is obviously the effect of the "worship technique", which fills the big room with positive energy, making people who come here feel refreshed, and can also be eliminated. Fatigue == Dongzi aimed the detection power of Yuanshen at the altar again, but found that there seemed to be another kind of power implied in it, but it did not come out.
Taking advantage of the old pastor's opportunity to pour tea, he went to the altar and sensed it carefully, and immediately discovered that there was an "anti-evil magic circle" enchantment effect hidden in it.The strange thing is that this enchantment only exists in the altar, and it has not spread to cover the big house.Could it be that the master did it on purpose?
Dongzi politely took the tea and sat down, savoring it slowly while secretly evaluating: the old pastor made such an arrangement.Eighty percent of the people in the town are not kind, but they dare not openly confront them, or they are unwilling to give up on those people.I hope that one day they can "correct evil and return to righteousness" and throw themselves into the arms of the Mother Earth.That's why the "anti-evil magic circle" was hidden and not revealed, to be used at critical moments.
The two chatted slowly.The old pastor was very interested in Dongzi's "Church of the God of Air Elements", and kept asking about the temple's location, size, number of believers, and of course the most important question was where did the income come from.Just because he mistakenly thought that the water mist scepter in Dongzi's hand was bought!In his opinion, it is impossible for a "priest of the god of air element" to make a "water element" scepter by himself.What's more, it is impossible for a priest who only has 5th-level magic to make such an expensive scepter of inheritance.
Dongzi naturally began to talk nonsense, saying for a while that his temple was in the deep mountains and old forests, and there were not many prisoners; It was bestowed by Akudine, the god of air elements, during a prayer.Anyway, all the problems that are not easy to explain or say are pushed to the gods.Fortunately, the God of Air Element and its church are very mysterious, and the outside world doesn't know much about it.The old pastor was only slightly disappointed.There was no immediate suspicion.Instead, Dongzi pestered the old pastor and asked, "Oh, I have seen the magnificent temples of your Mother Earth Church in Rodriguez. I heard that most of the temples everywhere are magnificent with golden walls and extremely rich. Why is the god here? The temple is quite old?"
The old pastor smiled wryly and said: "The temples in various places are built by the pastors themselves. Naturally, the pastors in rich places have enough money to repair and decorate them. Even some nobles and big businessmen volunteered to help build them. It is magnificent and majestic. But our small place not only doesn’t have much income, but also the weather has been unfavorable in recent years, and the land has failed every year. Everyone doesn’t have much money to donate to the church. Occasionally we have some spare money and want to Relief to those affected by the disaster. You can see that this small temple was repaired four years ago, and then there was not much money to repair it. If the climate continues to be so chaotic, our life will become more and more sad." He looked depressed. He sighed softly, drank some tea, and then slowly said: "I heard from people in the town that your team originally planned to go to Strandhold? Or don't go, the situation over there is even worse. Poor, all kinds of crops have failed for six or seven consecutive years. Everyone looks hungry. If there is not a big river to transport food, famine would have broken out. Two months ago, I heard a businessman passing by It is said that the people over there are panicking, and there may be riots of all kinds of strong food." He said here.His expression suddenly became extremely serious.It seems to be worrying about something.
Dongzi suddenly handed out the teacup and asked seriously: "Your side. How many babies can you feed?"
The old pastor was a little puzzled, and he was taken aback for a moment before replying: "With the blessing of the Mother Earth, the children will probably not die young, and ** out of 10 will grow up **."
Dongzi's heart skipped a beat, secretly screaming that it's not good!Quickly asked again: "Then how many children can each family have?"
The old pastor replied honestly: "At least three or four, as many as eight. It's a pity that it's easy to grow up, but it's hard to live to old age. Either die in battle, or die after going out for a living. There has been no news, and life and death have not been known since. Some children went astray and became bandits and robbers, and were finally wiped out by righteous men. After death, they all have a good reputation. The soul will go to the kingdom of evil gods to be deceived Suffering. It's really pitiful."
Dongzi also nodded lightly and said: "It's really pitiful." But he didn't feel sorry for those who "got astray", but felt pitiful for the entire human race!Sad human beings!The birth rate is too high, the survival rate is too high, but the arable land is limited!The contradiction between population and resources must be very large in this world.There are only two solutions to this situation: one is to expand outward, destroy other surrounding races, annex their territories, and develop arable land to feed humans.But obviously, there is no arable land on the territory of other races, and it is useless to annex them!The second is internal fighting. Those without land will kill those with land, or those without land will fight each other until almost everyone dies, and the population and resources reach a balance, and the internal fighting will automatically stop.
Judging from the information obtained so far, this second path is the most likely.The destructive power of internal fighting to civilization is no weaker than that of foreign enemies, and sometimes it is even more violent and ruthless!
When Dongzi returned to the baron's small castle, a group of arcane soldiers and several knights were surrounded in the open space. Grimm was yelling something in the middle, and beside him were several blood-soaked monsters who looked like large red clay pots. Sub-giant head!All the skulls were cut open, and the brains inside were taken out by human beings, leaving only a few shocking red and white skulls and ferocious and strange faces of unwillingness.
And Grimm found a half-person-high pottery pot from nowhere, set it on the fire and boiled it slowly.He shouted in his mouth: "Fresh sub-giant brain soup! It is delicious and nutritious! Not only can you refresh your mind, but it can also improve your body's various abilities! Everyone heard clearly, it is various abilities! Guarantee you do any Things can be as fierce and fast as these savage fighters! Don't laugh. Don't think wrongly, that ability is only fast. This is done by the method taught by Pastor Arilu, and it is absolutely effective! Oh, pastor Here you go, you can ask him."
Dongzi took a closer look, and there was indeed a white sub-giant brain boiled in the big clay pot. He smelled it carefully, and although the heat was not well controlled, the ingredients in it were correct.So he nodded and said: "It is indeed made according to my method. The effect must be there."
Seeing the expectant expressions of the people around, Grimm immediately said, "Then please come over and try the taste?"
Its face without facial features suddenly made the sound of rapid water flow, as if it was a special magic language, and then waved its arms, swaying blue-green water arrows, flying densely like rain to those figures. Tall subgiants.
The water arrows are too dense to avoid! The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" rose all around, and the sub-giants who were concentrated by water arrows seemed to be hit by waves of sledgehammers, and they all screamed "Aiya, aiya" and collapsed down the city wall.
