On the Seven Towers

"...The roar standing on the bell tower was heard by the entire elementary school. Agordo's first confession failed like this. Poor Madeleine was just a ten-year-old girl covered with freckles. , was stunned by his unrestrained behavior. She did not look at him for several months, but Agordo himself was even more unlucky. He angered Mr. Grom from then on. The husband always had something against him, but you all know that this guy has a big heart. He never took these things to heart. Before graduation, he used the same method to woo Anne and Sophia, and of course he still did. A shameful failure." Bermudo kept telling Agordo's story vividly. Although both Carmela and Felicia have said that he is a quiet person, he seems to talk endlessly when talking about his brother. Of course, Xiao Chen also had another guess. Maybe it was too long since he had no one to accompany him to recall these past events.

"Honey, how come I never knew about these things?" said Felicia.

"This is the last thing the passionate Agordo wants Catherine to know. He has threatened me many times and told me never to tell you. According to him, you women are like being connected to the Internet in your brains. Telling one person means telling everyone. But now... no one should care, right?" Bermudo drank the red wine in his glass.

"Oh, dear..." Felicia gently stroked Bermudo's face with the back of her hand, and the latter held her hand and rubbed it.

Xiao Chen listened to the story told by Bermudo, and the image of Agordo became vivid in his mind. However, perhaps because all our knowledge of him comes from the stories of close relatives, it doesn't sound like Agordo is a person full of malice toward humans. On the contrary, influenced by his father, he has a strong awareness of protecting the environment and maintaining ecological balance, but he also cares about his friends and is even willing to help strangers. He doesn't seem like a tyrant or conspirator, but more like a little boy who loves life.

"What do you think of that kind of extreme nature protection behavior? Some people will oppose factories and scientific experiments for the purpose of protecting nature. They may even resort to violence." Luo Ling asked casually.

"Agordo and I have similar views. What we oppose is human beings' uncontrolled and destructive use of nature. If we can coexist with nature responsibly, there will be no problem." Bermudo changed the subject. , "But you also know that most of the time this is a luxury. When people are stupid, they can always make irreparable mistakes. Just like the nuclear leaks in Chernobyl and Fukushima, it's like it can never be stopped. Japanese and Norwegian whaling ships, as well as those toxic and harmful chemicals, when did these things stop? I sometimes think that if human civilization stays within a certain limit and does not cross those thresholds, maybe the whole world will be destroyed. It will be much better.”

"Does Agordo also have such thoughts?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Well, we have similar views on these matters, but sometimes he may be more radical than me. Maybe this is the difference in personality." Bermudo said.

Luo Ling was not surprised to hear what he said. This should be the source of those things that happened in the other world. Maybe now is an opportunity. Luo Ling didn't know if she would have the opportunity to confront Agordo, the God of Nature, but now she could practice with his brother Bermudo. She took a sip of wine, collected her thoughts and said, "However, have you ever thought that it is the development of science and technological progress that have strengthened our ability to protect the natural environment? Take your country as an example, now The environmental situation will definitely be much better than in the early days of industrialization. The same is true for my country. The pollution problem is gradually improving with development. Maybe give humans some time and everything will get better."

Bermudo laughed, as if he had heard such words many times, he patted Felicia's hand and said: "See? There is an ally of yours here, and your ideas are almost exactly the same. Maybe you women prefer Looking at humanity on the bright side, I am not that confident. In my opinion, humanity has been teetering on the edge of destruction. So far, what we have done can still be undone at some cost afterwards, but as time goes by. The power we have is getting stronger and stronger, and one day the consequences we have caused may no longer be rectifiable. Everything scientifically explores is unknown, and you never know what kind of Pandora's box those scientists will open in their next experiment. "

"You don't seem to have enough confidence in human reason." Luo Ling said.

"Yes. I admit this, because human beings are often completely captured by emotions and desires. When curiosity overwhelms reason, anything can happen," Bermudo said.

Xiao Chen asked: "I have a hypothesis. If you suddenly have an opportunity to come to a world and become the master of a group of humans, or a god, what would you do?"

Bermudo raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask that?"

Xiao Chen said: "Just think of it as a thinking game. How will you lead the development of these humans?"

"Is this the bar game you Chinese like? It feels so strange, but it's also quite interesting. Let me think about it." Bermudo closed his eyes slightly, pinched his eyebrows and thought, "I will let humans live freely, but I will let them admire nature and a simple lifestyle, and not put too much energy on developing technology. Their lives may not be as easy as people now, but their population may last longer than the current earthlings.

However, curiosity is human nature. In order to curb this, I am afraid I will set up some kind of sect to promote my own theory. Since the locals are still in a very ignorant state, this kind of mystical trick may be more effective for them."

Felicia said: "But in this way, they will definitely stay in a painful life like the Middle Ages. They work hard all day and still can't eat enough. They can't get sick and have no way to treat it. Most people can't leave their villages for their entire lives, can't learn knowledge, and are illiterate. And once they encounter a disaster, they have little ability to resist and save themselves."

Bermudo said: "But this is how the ancestors of mankind came, isn't it? They haven't encountered a crisis of the ethnic group in so many years. I think this is a stable and natural state."
