Chapter 626 The Way of Overlord
Hai Wei sat back disappointedly. She also understood what Feng said, but she was still a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, I felt a warm hand patting my head. Looking up, I saw Zero's face and said lightly, "Remember, we are just passers-by. That's all."
"Wait!" Dilei shouted, "Guys, I'm not doing this for myself, but for our Galan people. My uncle Horn planned to transport the treasures of the clan to the mainland to sell, but Grandpa said that these treasures would attract demons and eventually make our family go to extinction! I can't let such a thing happen, so I beg you to help me once!"
Feng doubted, "What kind of baby is so powerful that he has attracted the devil!"
"This is, we call it Green Crystal!" He took out a small bottle from his chest and contained a small crystal-like thing in the bottle in Dilei's hand. The whole body is dark green, crystal clear, and from time to time there will be green fluorescence passing between the texture of the stone, which is beautiful and mysterious.
"What is this?" Feng squeezed over and asked.
Dilei doesn't seem to be used to getting so close to the man, and two red clouds floated on her dark face. She leaned back slightly and said, "If these things are used properly, they can be used to do a lot of things. Among them, the most widely used is to make a fire. The immortal flame in our clan is the credit of the green crystal. Just a small point can make the sacred flame burn for a long time to expel darkness and beasts!"
She said she was going to pull out the cork.
"Wait, don't open it!" Billy suddenly shouted, and he stumbled over, even pulling out the maple regardless of the usual etiquette, and then holding the crystal in Diwei's bottle. This rim-shaped crystal made Billy's hands tremble. He turned to Zero and said excitedly, "Your Excellency, this is not a crystal, it's green uranium!"
" uranium?"
It really shook. In turbulent times, uranium is a precious and rare ore. It is the fuel of nuclear power plants and can play a huge role. There is also a natural distribution of uranium ore on the mainland of Zhongzhou, and even Greendu Gegna controls two large uranium mines. The emergence of uranium also provides a strong impetus for the progress of this era. Before finding a way to convert energy directly from light energy like the Fourth Age civilization, nuclear energy will be the most powerful energy of this era, so the importance of uranium is self-evident.
I didn't expect that the treasure in Dilei's family was uranium. Naturally, no one would be too much for this precious mineral. From Billy and everyone's reaction, Diley seemed to realize something. She quickly stuffed the bottle containing green uranium back into her chest. The radiation of this thing is very strong, but strangely, Billy's radiation reactor has never been prompted. Obviously, the bottle is a special isolator, which reduces the radioactivity of uranium to at least within the safety standard.
The Garan people are very primitive in both their clothes and weapons. The technology of uranium alone seems to be far beyond the civilization that a primitive tribe should have. I don't know how many people have sacrificed to achieve this now.
The crowd dispersed, Ling walked over, squatted down and said to Dilei, "Your grandfather is right. This kind of thing will indeed provoke the devil. I can tell you that your green crystal is a precious energy fuel for us on the mainland. For it, we can even fight a war, even if we completely erase your Galan people from the island, we will get it!"
Dilei suddenly shocked all over and looked at the hole, obviously starting to slip away. Ling shook his head and said, "Don't go out. Now it's raining outside and you're drenched in radiation. At your physical strength, you can't survive for 12 hours."
Sit down in front of Dilei and Ling said, "I want to make a deal with you. If you agree, I can help you return to the position of patriarch. But before that, I need to know your attitude.
"Attitude?"
"That's right, or the gesture of treating your uncle Horn. What will you do with your uncle after helping you regain the position of patriarch? Zero asked.
Dree thought for a moment and whispered, "He has always been my last relative in the world. If possible, I want to imprison him or exile him..."
"If that's the case, it's a pity. I can't help you. I will leave and then wave my army to attack, flatten your Gali people and take down this precious uranium mine!" Zero's eyes emitted awe-inspiring light, like a sharp sword deeply penetrated into the girl's heart.
Hai Wei wanted to stand up and speak for Dilei, but she was caught by Ye Liu. Looking at Ye Liu, the latter shook her head decisively, and the girl had to sit back.
Dilei said in a hurry, "No, please..."
Zero calmed down and said, "Now you know that the world is very cruel. There are many people who are stronger than you. It is no exaggeration to say that any one of us here is enough to destroy you. I want to deal with you by formal commercial means to buy green uranium from here with equivalent materials or other things you need. You can live a better life without worrying about the destruction of green uranium. I can even station troops here to protect uranium mines and you. But these things must be based on the premise that you have the responsibility and ability of a patriarch!"
Dley obviously didn't understand and looked at Zero helplessly.
Zero knows that Dilei is still just a child, and now it's too heavy for her to bear these. But her grandfather has died, lost her shelter, and has no time for her to grow up slowly. Whether she wants to or not, if she wants to live, she can only carry these things, otherwise she can only be abandoned by this cruel era. So Zero continued: "You have the responsibility of the patriarch, but the amount of equipment is not enough. Take your uncle as an example, he wants to kill you, and you just go to imprison or exile him. I'm not saying that your benevolence is wrong, but it's not a place to use it. If you do this, I'm 100% sure that he will find a way to come back and kill you again! Then my help to you is completely meaningless, isn't it?"
Dille sat on the ground in a distraction, her eyes flashed, and she was obviously struggling in her heart.
"Once, a friend told me. Under the throne of power, it must be made of blood and white bones. Throughout history, there has never been a record of seizing power by peaceful means. Sitting in that supreme position, you have to shoulder more than others. But as long as you believe that you are right and can bring happiness to the people you shelter, then let it go. Even behind you, you must bear the eyes of those victims looking at you in hell!" Zero said in a low voice, "This is the so-called volume!"
After saying that, he walked back: "You have a night to think about it. Think about it and tell me when you have an answer."
Sit back to Leah, who stared at him. Ling Yi smiled and said, "Are you thinking about why I didn't want to interfere before, but now I become positive when I hear uranium?"
Lia didn't answer, and Ling said herself, "I didn't want to interfere before because I didn't want to waste resources and time on some things. But since the Galan people have uranium ore, it's different. In other words, they have the value for me to stop!"
"It sounds very markety. I'm like a calculating businessman. But the same is true. If I just want to be a lord, or just be a nobleman. Then I can even help her with things like Dilei without asking for anything in return. But the road I want to take is not this kind of benevolent road. I'm racing against time. I need to hold all the resources tightly in my hands, use every strength, and play every step of chess. I seize every opportunity to grow and grow again, so I am destined not to be a benevolent, but to be a hegemony. Zero said, "This seems to be suspected of threatening the little girl, but at least, she and I are better off than being silenced by others. Maybe there will be a curse and stain on my back, but I can't care so much..."
As Zero said, he took the path of hegemony. On this road, blood and sacrifice will never be less. He already has the awareness of carrying these things, and how can he be afraid of one more charge of blackmail?
Lia smiled and said, "Why do you have to tell me so much? I have never questioned you. Even if the whole world thinks you are wrong, I will support you.
Zero nodded and said, "It's getting late. Let's have a rest."
Dinley thought for a long time, and she almost slept all night. In the middle of the night, Haiwei got up to see her several times and saw her in a daze in front of a bonfire. Looking at her like this, Haiwei feels very lucky. At least she doesn't have to think about so many things and bear so many responsibilities. She took a blanket and put it on Dilei, who looked at her gratefully.
"I know it's hard to decide this kind of thing. After all, there is only one relative." Haiwei sat down next to Dilei and said, "Before I met our head, my only relative, my brother, lived in the base. We take care of each other and work hard to live. Until one day when the disaster came, my brother died. For a while, I didn't want to live, but in the end I survived. Because I know that my brother definitely doesn't want me to die like this. Later, I met the head, and then the whole life trajectory became different.
Haiwei scratched her head and stuck out her tongue and said, "I won't talk about those major principles, but I can be sure of one thing. So far, I haven't missed anything!"
The next day, Dilei walked to Zero and said, "I've figured it out."
"So, what's your answer?" Zero question.
Dilei took out a knife from the back of her waist and said, "I will use him to see my uncle off in person."
Zero looked at her seriously, and Dilei did not avoid his eyes. After the two looked at each other for a moment. Zero nodded and said, "Well, deal."
Hai Wei immediately jumped up and said, "I'll help, too."
Looking at the other people who were also ready to move, Zero shook his head and smiled, "You all stay here. I'll do this alone." As soon as this came out, Haiwei immediately sat back like a vented balloon. Then Ling said to Dilei, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Dile nodded and strode out of the cave. The bright sky came. At the moment she stepped out of the hole, she knew that she had embarked on a turning point in her life and walked towards a road that could not be turned back. This road is never easy, but she has made up her mind to go to the end.
The girl walked to the jungle yesterday. According to her description, the Galan people lived in a valley protected by the mountains behind the island. The towering peaks around them are natural screens, blocking the wind and beasts for them, allowing the Galan people to thrive there. Green crystals, that is, uranium ore, enter under the mountains of the mountains, from a place regarded as a sacred cave by the Galan people. However, with the technology of the Galan people, the amount of mining is extremely limited every year. This is naturally not a problem for Zero. When the golden port is built, as long as there is a complete nautical chart, commercial exchanges with the island's uranium mine can be realized. Naturally, sailboats like those in the old medieval times can even be transported by building large ships to protect the uranium mine army.
Of course, these are the after words. Now the first task is to help Dilei regain the position of patriarch and ask them about some internal situation of the Galan clan while walking, so as to formulate a strategy. Dilei's uncle Horn is definitely going to be killed, but it can't be simply killed. After all, Dilei doesn't have enough prestige in the clan. Even if Horn is killed, there will definitely be people peeping at this position if she can't sit in the position of patriarch for a few days.
If you want Dilei to have no worries, then you can't just simply kill Horn. Instead, it is necessary to use this to let Diray stand in the clan. Ling not only wants to kill Horn, but also those who dare to intercept. According to zero, even if you want to kill nearly half of the people this time, even if the Galan people want to bleed, they must still kill. Only those who dare to have different intentions can make Dilei sit long enough.
Hearing these murderous words, the girl's heart beat faster.
"But..." Ling stretched out his hand and flicked. A giant python's head suddenly exploded into a ball of blood powder 100 meters away, and the soft snake fell down. Along the way, Zero used this method that Dilei could not understand to clean up one by one "roadblocks". With his murderous words, Dilei would not have made up her determination, her legs would not have been weak now.
Zero added: "Killing is to kill, but you can't kill indiscriminately. Indiscriminate killing not only can't stand up, but also bury hatred for you. So you can only kill people from your uncle's faction. As for others, it's OK to teach them a lesson at most.
Zero's means, simple to say, are the valuable experience and essence of mankind's power struggle for thousands of years. It is of great use in primitive tribes such as the Galan people. After all, for the indigenous people with relatively simple ideas, any containment and balance are too complicated. If it weren't for uranium ore, Zero wouldn't have to say so much to Dilei. But with the emergence of uranium ore, this island will gradually develop, and may even form a small seaside city here.
Then, the Galan people will gradually develop and people's hearts will become complicated. Therefore, these words really play a role in preventing the ignition.
Dilei didn't understand. On the contrary, she wrote down everything she said and waited for her to think about it carefully later. Because of today's chance encounter with Zero, Dilei will become the most respected patriarch of the Galan people in the future, and her story will even be passed down to future generations. These are all later words, not for the time being.
Besides, Zero learned from Dilei's words that the inheritance ceremony of their tribe about the patriarch is very special. Although it is designated by the patriarch, it must be recognized by the priest before it can take effect. That is to say, even if Horn killed Diley before the priest admitted it, he was not the patriarch. What's more, Dilei is not dead yet, and he can't sit in this position.
In this way, precious time is given to zero two people. Otherwise, Horn will be put in the position of patriarch, because the priest has not yet accepted the status of Dilei before. Then killing Horn is not defending his rights, but taking the throne. Although the results of the two are the same, they are very different in name and people's hearts. Dilei doesn't know much about the stakes, and Zero hasn't said much about it.
"So, did your grandfather reveal to the priest that he wants you to be the patriarch?"
At noon, they had walked out of the jungle and asked while resting by a stream.
Dylei nodded and said, "Grandpa once met the Barry priest when he was sick. He told the priest in front of me that after his death, I would inherit the position of patriarch. But not long after my grandfather died, my uncle asked someone to kill me. The priest had no time to hold an inheritance ceremony for me, so I had escaped. After hiding in the jungle for a few days, I will meet you again.
"That's good, so as long as the priest does not die, your identity will be determined. But there is another point worth considering. Is it possible for your Barry priest to be bought by your uncle? Zero asked again.
Dele immediately shook her head and said, "Only the most just people in the clan can serve as priests. Before becoming priests, they had sworn to the gods. If it violates the balance in your heart, you will always be questioned by the fire of hell after death. This is the most important oath in our family, and no one dares to break it, so the Barry priest will never be bought by his uncle!"
"That's easy to do." Zero stood up and said, "Well, let's meet this Barry priest first!"
"I said that Dilei can't come back. Isn't it normal for Priest Barry, the son of the patriarch Vaha, to inherit the position of patriarch after the death of the patriarch?
In a tent, a tall man roared at a thin old man. But the old man was unmoved. His face was covered with wrinkles like bark, and a pair of crystal clear eyes reflected the ugly face of the man before his birth. The old man said slowly, "It's a pity that Horn, before your father died, he did tell me that the position of patriarch would be inherited by Dilei. Unless I see her body, this decision will never change!"
