Zero wakes up suddenly and sees a roof made of planks and leaves. He turned over and got out of bed, this is a wooden house. From the beds to the simple furniture, they are all made of trees, without any metal openings, and have the strongest original style. Coming out of the wooden house, it was a corridor only half a meter wide. The corridor also doubles as a balcony. After passing through the other two wooden houses, it extends downwards and reaches the ground.

This is the house of the Assaks, they built the house on the tree. Usually there is only one room for each old tree that is surrounded by several people, but the place where Zero is now is the residence of the patriarch Gaoge. He owns three houses, built on two twin trees next to each other, which is a privilege of the patriarch.

The villages of the Assaks have no obvious signs, they live in the woods. If you don't really enter the village, you will only think it is a forest from the outside and ignore the past. There is no such thing as a road. When Ling followed Gaoge and the other Assaks back to the village, they all turned left and right in the woods. Even if Lingyou wanted to write down the road, it would be impossible to record because of the almost repeated scenes.

The only difference between the village and the woods is probably the clearing of a clearing. This open space is usually the arena of the Assaks. The west side of the open space is made of tree stumps and square feldspar, which is similar to an altar. Totems carved from wood are inserted on both sides. The totems look like the faces of the Assacs. It seems that this alien race is a bit like some natives of the old humans, and ancestor worship prevails.

"Can't sleep, right?" Gog's voice came from the side. Even after getting off the mount, the average height of the Assaks reached nearly three meters.

Gaoge stood next to Ling, and Ling only came to his chest. Patriarch Assak waved one of his arms and said: "You humans are definitely not used to living in the jungle, but for us, this is the place where we were born and died."

Ling looked towards the sky and said: "Patriarch Gaoge, under the same sky, in a different city. I don't know if you believe that we humans and other alien races can live together peacefully. This is The small result of my hard work, I hope that humans and foreign races can get along in peace, instead of fighting to death and death."

"It's a pity that you can't represent all humans. Just like the humans who burned our village, they never thought of coexistence."

"So I am working hard in this direction."

"Oh, then did you come to this land for this purpose?"

Ling shook his head: "No, these are two different things. I suspect that the holy medicine and seeds you got from the Shadow Clan are related to something you are looking for. That kind of thing is very dangerous, and it may even lead to the destruction of this planet. So I came here, I want to confirm it. Simply put, I'm here to find something, not to fight with you."

Gog looked at him for a while and said, "I have sent someone to the holy temple for your request. It is estimated that there will be news back tomorrow. But I still advise you not to hit the shadow clan's idea. Otherwise, even if You are a warrior of hundreds of wars, and war is still inevitable."

"If that thing is what I want to destroy, then even if a war starts, I will not change my mind." Zero said forcefully: "Because I know very well that once I let that thing get it. Then it will be more than just that." The war between us is about the whole world."

"It? What is it?"

"It..." Zero bitter smile: "It can be said to be your mother. It is because of it that it has you. However, you are not the life it wants to appear, so if it appears, it will also You killed it. Because it is the natural enemy of all life."

Gog shook his head and said, "You seem to have a lot of stories."

"Patriarch Gaoge, can you tell me about the holy temple?" Zero had no intention of continuing to discuss with Gaoge on the issue of Prosius, so he changed the subject.

"Before the holy temple appeared, we were a discreet sand. The holy temple was actually the place where the shadow clan lived at the beginning. We called it Black Mountain, and the holy temple was built on the Black Mountain. I'm sorry, I can't tell you where the Black Mountain is. Anyway, After the shadow clan gave seeds and holy medicine to the selected clan, the ten clan chiefs, including the Amandas, also became the elders of the holy temple."

According to Gao Ge, Zero probably understood the power structure of the black earth a bit. The Shadow Clan are alien races standing at the top of this land. They are few in number, but their adult fighters are powerful. Under the alien race is the holy temple, which is presided over by eleven elders. The patriarch of the shadow clan serves as one of the elders, and the rest are held by strong patriarchs like Amanda.

The holy temple is the spiritual symbol of all the alien races in this land, and it is the decision-making institution of the alien races on the black earth. However, sacred temples seldom give clear instructions, and more often they let all ethnic groups develop freely.

The most recent instruction was that when Xiuya led an army to invade, the Holy Temple asked the aliens in the 1st to 3rd area to evacuate, shrinking into the 4th level, protected by powerful clans like the Assaks, and organized an army against the blood cavalry.

As for how to fight with the blood cavalry army, it is up to the strong clan chief who is responsible for organizing the resistance force to decide for himself.

From a human point of view, the power of the holy temple is undoubtedly loose, but its execution power is beyond doubt. Even if the next order is issued occasionally, all aliens will complete it without compromise. This is completely unimaginable in human society.

In terms of decision-making, the holy temple also adopted a voting system. Each elder has one vote, and when there are more votes in favor, the decision is passed. At this point, even the elders of the Shadow Clan did not enjoy privileges.

Gog finally said: "If you want to achieve your goal, but also want to avoid war. Then you can only prompt the temple to vote on it and win at least six elders on your side to hopefully succeed."

Patriarch Assak walked into his house, then turned around and said: "If you can become a warrior of a hundred wars, then I am willing to vote for you. This vote is not for your so-called natural enemy of life, but only for you to dare to stand alone. The courage that came, and up to now, have been trying to avoid the intention of fighting with us."

Watching Goge's figure disappear into the room, he glanced at the sky with a zero smile: "Isn't the situation bad, at least, there is now a vote."

Beyond the vast virgin forest, there is a red-black land. The surface here is scorched black, but in the cracked rock formations, it is crimson like blood. This is a black land, and there are countless rivers that divide this land into several fragments of different sizes. All rivers originate from a natural lake at the end of the earth.

The black land runs from west to east, and its terrain changes from high to low. The water level of the lake does not decrease for many years, and there should be a continuous supply of groundwater. The Great Lake freezes in winter and melts in spring. The ice water flows to the lower part through the cracks of the earth along with the terrain, forming streams and rivers, injecting vitality into this land.

On the east side of the Great Lake, there is a mountain thrusting into the cloud straight up. The mountain peaks are almost rising from the ground, the mountain is very steep, the whole body is pitch black, like the color of the earth, in which there is a mountain road, and it goes straight up to a platform halfway up the mountain. This place is like a piece of rock that has been chopped off a mountainside, forming a recessed space. You can see several stone pillars hugged by several people supporting this space. I don't know whether it was formed naturally or built intentionally.

The stone pillars are gray, appearing desolate and deserted in this dark mountain. And this platform is the holy temple of the alien race on the black earth. At this moment, the elders in the holy temple were arguing about something, and Girutan was among them. There is a stone basin in the center of the holy temple, and the flames on it will not go out for many years, and the elders are arguing fiercely around the brazier.

"What are you kidding about, why should the Assaks hold a battle of warriors for an outsider? What is Elder Gog thinking? Just send these people away." A very short, old-faced man, However, the alien elder with an unusually loud voice kept hitting the ground with the crutches in his hand to emphasize his tone.

"That's because the Assaks never refuse to challenge, nor are they afraid of challenge. If it is not a major issue, Elder Gog will not report to the holy temple at all, afraid that a gladiatorial match will be held immediately, right?" The young man said that his appearance was somewhat similar to Girutan, but he was Ba Jin, the patriarch of the Amanda.

A man covered in a black robe, but with white arms exposed from his sleeves said: "If this matter was raised by other patriarchs, we can dismiss it. But Elder Gog's temperament must be clear to everyone. They are. The dignity and tradition of the Assaks do not allow any challenge to be avoided. If we reject this time, Elder Gog will not say anything, but it is inevitable that some thoughts will arise in his heart, and it is not surprising that there will be grievances between them and the holy temple. Therefore, this incident needs to be handled carefully."

"Elder Black Owl is right." Another elder said: "In my opinion, the best way is to hold a gladiatorial match, and then defeat or even kill this human in the challenge. In this way, Patriarch Gog should There is no opinion~lightnovelpub.net~ I think it is enough to defeat this human. In Elder Gog’s message, he also pointed out that this human is trying his best to avoid war with us. If we kill him in a gladiatorial fight, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." Ba Jin said.

The elder before snorted: "Are there few humans who have killed our compatriots? Elder Ba Jin, I know that your son Girutan and this human seem to be friends. If you are partial to humans because of this, it would be too disappointing. NS."

Buckington said angrily: "Elder Wade, I have to remind you. Behind this human being is a city named Dawn City. Girutan also said that this city has many high-ranking troops and an army of capable people. , There are thousands of soldiers. More importantly, this city is closely related to Seomyeon Tundra. You should be very clear about what is in Seomyeon Tundra?"

Elder Black Robe raised his hand and said: "Enough, stop fighting. Elder Ba Jin is right, this human being is not an ordinary person. If you kill him, you will provoke extremely powerful enemies for us. I decided, let Gao Elder Ge held a gladiatorial match. Then, my black owl would join the battle as one of the warriors. That human being can only stop at the village of the Assak."

He uncovered his hat, revealing an extremely beautiful face, but his eyes were as dark as ink!
