Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"And you, Nian, what do you think of mortals? Do you think they are inferior creatures? Certainly not? Otherwise you wouldn't like hot pot movies and playing mahjong so much~"

Nian nodded, agreeing with his idea, and then continued to ask: "So, what about those existences like the gods of wine? They do everything and are considered evil gods?"

"Instead of calling them evil gods, I have a more down-to-earth name." Shen Muke blinked and said with a smile: "I prefer to call them monsters for this kind of existence."

Monsters are of no use to anyone.They harm living beings and deserve to be hit!

"Little brother, what you said is very good...but why do I always feel that you are arrogant?" Nian narrowed his eyes and teased.

"Don't make trouble~ You know that in order to make this reasonable, I

How much effort did you put into making logic self-consistent?I've been thinking about it for a long time! "

"Hehe, that's what I said..." Nian shrugged and said, "By the way, little brother, what is your hometown like? Is it similar to Terra?"

"It's very similar, very similar, with the same suffering and the same happiness, the same ordinary people and the same careerists."

"Then, are there existences like us?"

"No, in that world, there are only mortals and no gods."

"Really? That's really... pretty good."

……

Columbia, a conference room somewhere.

The young secretary holding the document swallowed and slowly walked into the hall with his head lowered.

An important meeting is taking place here, and the people present are all important figures in the Colombian Federation.

At this time, the slightest loophole may destroy his job, so the little secretary does not dare to lose focus for a moment, and has no choice but to do his job as well as possible.

On both sides of the conference table in front of me, the two parties were arguing endlessly.

One person was wearing military uniform, and they were all representatives of the military.

On the other side are people in suits and ties who speak for the oligarchs and the Authority.

The content of today's quarrel is not Colombia, but its neighboring country, Sargon.

Many people know that Colombia, a federal country, was born out of Victoria, an old powerhouse.It was because of the Battle of the Four Emperors that Victoria was unable to maintain such a huge territory, which finally allowed Colombian careerists to pick the peaches, and Colombia broke away from Victoria and became another country in the true sense.

This alone is infinitely better than Bolivar in the west.

Colombia has its own problems, however.It inherited Victoria's powerful industry and technology, but also inherited the bad habits of Victoria's old empire.

They always like to point fingers at neighboring countries, and even more seriously, they will use various methods to provoke conflicts in other countries and make profits from them.

For Colombia, which still has bad habits, Sargon is their natural "mine"!

Sargon's existing system would have been considered backward even 500 years ago.

They are like the bulk version of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in simple matryoshka dolls, with the big king nesting the little king underneath.

An emperor who seemed to exist only in fantasy was in charge of a large number of pashas.

The pasha was in charge of a large number of royal chiefs.

And under the royal chief, there are a lot of "tribal lords" who show their own special powers.

It would be unreasonable for such an empire of bulk materials not to be infiltrated into a sieve by Colombia!

In modern times, young Colombia has risen rapidly relying on advanced technology, while neighboring Sargon has become synonymous with backwardness and decadence in the eyes of some people who have been enriched by power and wealth.The Colombian government and plutocrats coveted Sargon's land and wealth and sent mercenaries into the vast sand sea. Some local chiefs also collaborated with these outsiders.

They used their technological monopoly to harvest large quantities of leeks, and large quantities of Sargon's material resources and cheap labor poured into Colombia, which made the Colombian administration make a lot of money.

But now, when the administration is making a lot of money, the military has come to its senses.

It is said that it is more uncomfortable to watch others make money than to lose money yourself.

Isn’t the military happy to see the people in the administration getting rich one by one?

So there was today's wrangling.

The military wants to directly intervene in Sargon to squeeze some oil and water out of this country filled with yellow sand.

"The military sends a large number of mercenaries into Sargon every year. Isn't it making enough?" A politician put forward a point of view, but was immediately refuted by the military.

"Mercenaries earn a lot of money! How can you make money as fast as you?"

The military representatives were heartbroken. How could the mercenaries earn so much through hard work compared to the politicians playing tricks on them?

The wrangling between the two sides lasted for three hours, until the sun was about to set, and the two sides finally reached a consensus.

The military is about to intervene in the affairs of the Ibat region. In the process, the administration and the oligarchs are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of this area.

As for the purpose of the military... For the military, is there any business that is more profitable than war?

The meeting gradually ended and all parties left the table.

A secretary came close to the military representative and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Acting, Mr. Walter is here."

The military representative raised his head and glanced at the secretary:

"It's just the right time to let him in."

Chapter 12 Sand Soldier

Sargon, the frontier.

A figure came from the east.

The figure was wearing a complicated robe and cloak, holding a cane in his hand, and his half-length silver hair was scattered randomly on the back of his head. His face was thin and angular, with some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and a deep scar at the corner of his mouth.

This figure is of course Shen Muke, but unlike before, this time he did not use his original appearance.

"Your face is not intimidating. In Sargon, people will unconsciously despise you, which will cause trouble."

This was the advice given by Yelagund before departure. He collected some superficial intelligence about Sargon in the Empire of Consciousness, and finally analyzed it and informed Shen Muke.

Shen Muke touched his face in embarrassment. This was the first time someone pointed out that he was not a deterrent. What kind of face could be a deterrent?

In the end, under the careful planning (persecution) of two girls, Nian and Yaer,

, this face of an old man who says he is not old was designed.

This face looks quite similar to Geralt from The Witcher and Dante from Devil May Cry 5, but it is thinner and more gloomy than Geralt and Dante.

This kind of face, let alone being upright, can at least be said to be cunning.

Although Shen Muke's own personality has nothing to do with the character of this face, under Nian's strong request, Shen Muke decided to enter Sargon with this face.

But having said that, Nian still prefers me to look more cunning?

What is this hobby?

Shaking his head slightly, Shen Muke walked into the dense forest with his cane.

Sargon's eastern border, close to the ocean of Terra, is covered by dense rainforests, dense river networks, huge waterfalls, and a hot and humid climate that create a complex and unique ecological environment.

"This place is very similar to the real rainforest of South America, and the tribal culture is also very similar."

Shen Muke stroked a tree with a well-developed root system. He did not know the species of this tree, but judging from its growth state, it was at least a hundred years old.

He looked into the distance. To the southeast of the dense forest was the mouth of the river.

The entrance to the sea?

Shen Muke opened his palms to the distance, and the surging river water mixed with the breath of the ocean tide fed back to him, and he gradually understood everything.

There is something in the sea!

Shen Muke narrowed his eyes. Terra's ocean had an unusual vitality. ()

This vitality makes the sea water extremely comfortable, and his own authority is also strengthened.

Eutrophication?

It's not that simple.

Rather than saying it is eutrophication, it is better to say it is a natural balance.

This balance allows the sea to maintain an extremely harmonious ecological structure, which allows all species in the sea to thrive.

A strange sea, an unknown sea, a terrible sea.

Shen Muke lowered his head and pondered:

In the continent of Terra, there are not many countries bordering the sea. Agor is soaked in water. Iberia is a peninsular country. The rest...Victoria has seaside cities, such as Duolun County, but Victoria hardly develops the ocean. , they are only used for fishing.

As for Sargon, judging from Sargon’s national management structure and civilian cultural quality, let alone exploring and using the ocean, can they understand what the ocean is?

Land-based countries never care what's in the water, but that's a recipe for death.

There are monsters in the sea...

Shen Muke shook his head and calculated the time. Iberia was probably lying down now. He didn't know Agor's condition, but judging from the time... he should be fine?

In 1075, there is still more than 20 years left before [Under the Tide]. At this time, Skadi, Laurentina, and Gladia should still be little girls, and Agor should still be able to take the lead.

But it will be hard to say in the future.

The battle against Isamara exposed Agol's problems.As the saying goes, weakness is not the original sin, arrogance is.

Agor's brilliance and advancement make them arrogant, and arrogant people never have the last laugh.

"You and your race make me laughable."

Kelsey's words are also arrogant, but overall, Agor is even worse in this regard.

He shook his head and forgot about the ocean.

He must go to Iberia and Agor. Whether it is for the two countries of Iberia and Agor or to solve the heir issue, it is worth a trip.

Shen Muke moved forward with difficulty. The dense rainforest blocked his sight. If it weren't for his powerful senses and divinity, he would have got lost here.

He broke off a branch and felt its veins and texture, feeling a sense of vicissitudes of life.

This dense forest has not welcomed guests for hundreds of years. Today Shen Muke passed by here, and the next person who passes by here will have to wait for how long...

Speaking of which, I am in the rainforest now. Is that the so-called Akahula area?

Akahula.

The rainforest area east of Sargon has dense vegetation, abundant water sources, and wide rivers. It is in an anarchic state that is not managed by the empire and is managed by each tribe.

This is the hometown of Javier and Anaconda, and underground in the Akahula region is the city-state of the Dulin people.

When it comes to Akahura and the Durin people, one has to lament the antiquity of Sargon.

That's really old.

A large empire with mobile cities, vast land, and a long history was actually managed in the form of a feudal system.

Nuo Da's country is divided into scattered regions. Each region is managed by the regional lord himself. If he manages it well, it is because the regional lord has the ability. If he manages it poorly, if the regional lord is killed, it is considered a request. Hammer it.

The superiors in the entire country are in a state of survival of the fittest, while the weak among the tribes retain their simple humanistic feelings.

For example, Javier, in the original plot, she suffered from Originium Disease. However, this disease, which is basically synonymous with death in Ursus and Leitania, did not cause her any persecution.

Instead, she received unacceptable...care.

When Shen Muke thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh for the simple and pure thoughts and goodwill of those Adakris in the rain forest.

In the eyes of those crocodile people, Gaviel, who was injured and sick, should be taken care of, so a group of naive crocodile people gave Gaviel to

After supporting her, she was not allowed to work or fight, and she was allowed to recover from her illness!

This makes Gavel, who has always been outspoken and open-minded, yearns for freedom, and likes to run around the world, unhappy!

As a result, Jiavir burst into unexpected rebellious mood and launched a protracted protest against everyone in the tribe.

The final result was also unexpected. After beating everyone with his fists, Jiavir felt deeply that he was being excluded (we don’t know how this girl came to the conclusion in the first place), so he left the tribe in anger and wandered around. Several places, and finally went to Rhode Island to become a doctor.

Looking at the entire plot writing system of YJ, "The Return of the Jungle Warriors" is a rare happy plot that everyone is happy with (except for Kelsey's salary deduction at the end), which also gives the doctors another understanding of this land.

It turns out that this land is not without hope. It turns out that there are such lovely people in this land.

Shen Muke chuckled and pinched the branch in his hand. The so-called life is really magical.

They are all mortals with a limited life span. Some people do whatever they want, and some people will sacrifice their lives for righteousness. Some people do evil, and some people do good. The complexity and diversity of the human heart are vividly reflected.

hula-

An unusual sound suddenly came from behind him. Shen Muke turned around in surprise, and then saw a young man wearing dirty white clothes falling from behind the treetop.

The young man looked at Shen Muke awkwardly and was speechless for a moment.
