Chapter 834 Holy Temple
Zero suddenly woke up and saw a roof made of wooden boards and leaves. He turned over and went out of bed. This is a wooden house. From beds to simple furniture, they are all made of trees, without any metal mouth, and have the strongest primitive style. Coming out of the wooden house is a corridor only half a meter wide. The corridor also serves as a balcony. After passing through the other two wooden houses, it extends downwards and goes straight to the ground.
This is the house of the Azak people, who build the house on trees. Usually, each ancient tree held by several people has only one room, but where Zero is located is the residence of the patriarch Gaoge. He has three rooms, built on two adjacent twin trees, which is a privilege of the patriarch.
The village of the Assaks has no obvious signs. They live in the woods. If you don't really enter the village, you will only think it is a forest and ignore it from the outside. There is no so-called road. In the process of following Gaoge and other Asaks back to this village, they all turned left and right among the woods. Even if Zero wants to write down the way, he will not be able to record it because of the almost repeated scenes.
The only thing in the village that is different from the woods is probably to clean up an open space. This open space is usually the arena of the Azak people. To the west of the open space, it is made of stumps and square stones to make something similar to an altar. There are totems carved from wood on both sides. The totem looks like the faces of the Assacs. It seems that this alien tribe is a bit like some indigenous people in the old era, and ancestral worship is prevalent.
"Can't you sleep?" Gao Ge's voice came from the side. Even if he got off the mount, the average height of the Asak reached nearly three meters.
Gao Ge stood next to Zero, and Zero only came to his chest. The chief Assak waved one of his arms and said, "You humans are certainly not used to living in the jungle, but for us, this is the place where we were born and died."
Zero looked at the sky and said, "Goge patriarch, under the same sky, in different cities. I don't know if you believe that we humans and other aliens can live together peacefully. This is a small result of my efforts. I hope that human beings and aliens can live in peace, instead of fighting to death.
"It's a pity that you can't represent all human beings. Just like those human beings who burned our village, they had no idea of coexistence.
"So I'm working in this direction."
"Oh, so you came to this land for this purpose?"
Zero 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 the one thing you are looking for. That thing is very dangerous, and it may even lead to the destruction of the planet. So I came here to confirm. Simply put, I'm here to look for something, not to fight with you.
Gao Ge looked at him for a while and said, "I have asked you to send it to the Holy Temple, and I guess there will be news back tomorrow. However, I still advise you not to play the idea of the film family. Otherwise, even if you are a warrior, war is still inevitable.
"If that thing is what I want to destroy, then even if it launches a war, I won't change my mind." Zero said toughly, "Because I know very well that once that thing is given to it. At that time, it will not only be a war between us, but also the whole world.
"It? What is it?"
"It..." Zero wry smile: "It can be said to be your mother, and it is because of it that I have you. However, you are not the life it wants to appear, so if it appears, it will also kill you. Because it is the natural enemy of all life.
Gao Ge shook his head and said, "It seems that you have a lot of stories."
"Pear patriarch Gaoge, can you tell me about the holy temple?" Zero had no intention of continuing to discuss the issue of Prosius and Gogg, so he changed the topic.
"Before the Holy Temple appeared, we were a plate of loose sand. The beginning of the holy temple is actually the place where the shadows lived. There we call it Montenegro, and the holy temple is built on Montenegro. I'm sorry, I can't tell you where Montenegro is. In short, when the shadow clan gave seeds and holy medicine to several clans they chose, the ten patriarchs, including the Amanda, also became the elders of the holy temple.
According to Gao Ge, Zero is probably a little clear about the power structure of the black earth. The Shadow clan is a foreign race standing at the top of this earth. Their number is rare, but adult warriors are strong. Under the alien race is the holy temple, which is presided over by eleven elders. The head of the shadow clan is one of the elders, and the rest is a strong patriarch like Amanda.
The holy temple is the spiritual symbol of all aliens on this land, and it is the decision-making body of the aliens on the black earth. However, the holy temple rarely gives clear instructions, and more often it is allowed for all ethnic groups to develop freely.
The most recent instruction was that when Xiuya led the army to invade, the Holy Temple demanded that the aliens in the level 1 to 3 area withdraw, tighten into the level 4 area, provide protection by powerful clans such as the Assaks, and organize an army against blood horses.
As for how to fight with the bloody army, it is up to the strong patriarch responsible for organizing resistance.
From the perspective of human beings, the power of the holy temple is undoubtedly loose, but its execution is unquestionable. Even if the next instruction is issued occasionally, all aliens will not be compromised. This is completely unimaginable in human society.
In terms of decision-making, the Holy Temple also adopts a voting system. Each elder has one vote, and when the votes are mostly in favor, the decision is passed. At this point, even the elders of the shadow clan do not have privileges.
Goge finally said, "If you want to achieve your goal and avoid war. Then you can only promote the Holy Temple to vote on this and strive for at least six elders to be on your side.
The patriarch of Asak walked to his room and turned around and said, "If you can become a warrior, then I am willing to vote for you. This vote is not for your so-called natural enemies, but for your courage to come alone, and so far, you have been trying to avoid fighting with us.
Looking at Gao Ge's figure disappearing into the room, he glanced at the sky with a smile: "Isn't it bad? At least, there is a vote now."
After the vast virgin forest, there is a black earth. The surface here is charred, but in the cracked rock layer, it is red as blood. This is a black land, and countless rivers divide the land into fragments of different sizes. All rivers originate from a natural lake at the end of the earth.
The black earth goes from west to east, the terrain is from high to low, and the water level of the lake has not decreased for many years. There should be groundwater sources that are constantly replenished. The big lake freezes in winter, and the ice and snow melts in spring. The ice water flows low through the cracks of the earth with the terrain, forming a river, injecting vitality into the land.
On the east side of the Great Lake, there are mountains and clouds straight up. The peaks rose from the ground. The mountain was very steep and dark, like the ground. Among them, there was a mountain path and a platform halfway up the mountain. This place is like a rock cut off halfway up the mountain, forming a concave space. It can be seen that several stone pillars supporting this space, and I don't know whether it is formed naturally or intentionally built.
The stone pillar is gray, which looks desolate and rustic in this dark mountain. And this platform is the holy temple of the black earth. At this moment, several elders in the holy temple are arguing about something, and Girutan is among them. There is a stone basin in the center of the temple, on which the flames have not been extinguished for many years, and the elders are arguing fiercely around the fire basin.
"What are you kidding? Why did the Assaks hold a hundred-time warrior fight for an outsider? What on earth is Elder Gaoge thinking? Just send these people away. A very short, old-faced, but unusually loud elder kept knocking on the ground with the crutches in his hand to emphasize his tone.
"That's because the Assaks never refuse challenges and are never afraid of them. If it's not a big deal this time, Elder Gao Ge will not report to the holy temple at all. I'm afraid that a fight will be held immediately, right? A middle-aged man like a human said that he looked somewhat similar to Girutan, but Barkin, the patriarch of the Amanda people.
A man covered in a black robe, but exposed his white arms from the sleeve, said, "If this matter is proposed by other patriarchs, we can reject it. But everyone must know the nature of Elder Gaoge. The dignity and tradition of their Asak people are not allowed to avoid any challenges. If we reject it this time, Elder Gaog will not say anything, but it is inevitable that some ideas will come out in his mind, or even there will be a grudge between the holy temple. Therefore, this incident needs to be handled carefully.
"The elder black xiao is right." Another elder said, "In my opinion, the best way is to hold a fight and then defeat or even kill this human being in the challenge. In this way, the patriarch Gaoge should have no problem.
"I think it's enough to defeat this human being. In the message of Elder Goge, he also pointed out that this human being tried his best to avoid war with us. If we kill him in the fight, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Barkin said.
The elder groaned before, "Are there fewer human beings killing our compatriots? Elder Barkin, I know that your son Giritan seems to be friends with this human being. It's too disappointing if you favor human beings because of it.
Barkinton showed angrily: " Elder Wade, I have to remind you. At the back of this human being is a city called Dawn City. Girutan also said that the city has many high-level, a capable force, and thousands of soldiers. More importantly, the city is closely related to the western tundra. You should know very well what's in the western tundra?
The elder in black robe raised his hand and said, "Enough, stop arguing. Elder Barkin is right. This human being is not an ordinary person. If we kill him, we will attract extremely powerful enemies. I decided to let Elder Gog hold a fight. Then, I, the black ark, will participate in the battle as one of the warriors. That human can only stop in the village of the Azak people.
He lifted his hat and showed an extremely beautiful face, but his eyes were as dark as ink!
