The night was dark, and there were two moons hanging in the sky. One was small and light red, and the other was larger and dark purple. The strange colors of the two moons interweaved into a dreamy light that shone on the deserted city.
On a two-story stone house, the old lizard slave Abby was looking up at the moon. He stretched out his skinny hand and tried to catch the moon in the sky, but of course, he did not catch anything. Footsteps came from behind. Abby turned around and saw Allen. He quickly stood up and knelt down. Allen shook his head and gestured for him to sit down. However, Abby did not dare to sit, and he prostrated himself far away.
Allen knew that some things were deeply rooted in the lizard slaves' hearts, and he did not want to change them. Thus, he waved his hand and told him to rest. It was better than kneeling at the side. The lizard slave left and found a corner near the fire, curling up and lying down. A Rattlesnake member covered him with his blanket. Although they did not speak the same language, the gratitude in Abby's eyes was obvious. These natives enslaved by the lizards had lived in Red Tark for countless years, and they had always been oppressed and tortured by the lizards. Thus, as long as outsiders were nice to them, they would be grateful.
Allen looked at the old lizard slave's back and turned around. He was not too moved. He had seen such things many times. In fact, he had to remind others not to be too nice to the lizard slaves. First, he did not know much about these natives. Second, if they were too nice to him, the lizard slaves would become dependent on him, and they might even become greedy. It was not a bad thing to be friendly with others, but there must be a limit to everything.
Under the moonlight, the deserted city was silent, and only the wind whistled. In the distance, the Zana River was rumbling. This was a strange land. It was isolated from the rest of the world, and the home field of Red Tark covered the entire Garden of Eden. No one had discovered its existence for thousands of years.
This time, the lizard slaves had left Red Tark. Looking at the time, it was probably related to Allen receiving the first will on Heavenly Planet. The Dusk wills were connected to each other, and those sleeping wills would sense Allen's existence through this connection and start to wake up.
The entire Dawn Project was like a gigantic machine, and receiving Taylor's will was like turning a gear on this machine. Pull one hair, and the whole body will be affected. Now, this machine has already begun to operate. However, with Hongta Wood, this gear didn't seem to listen to him.
Allen recalled the battle with the Lizard Tribe outside the first city. At that time, the Lizard Tribe had stopped after hearing his words. However, not long after, they launched another attack. Clearly, the other party knew who he was, otherwise they would not have stopped. However, he still chose to attack. The relationship between them was a little strange.
All the questions pointed to one person.
Tutor.
In the murals of the lizard slaves, the mentor was an important figure. That person should be the guardian that Cana had created. He was responsible for protecting Cana and the treasury, and he had great influence on the Lizard Clan.
The Lizard King was the king of this race, sleeping near Kana like the Virtuous Empress. While Kana and the Lizard King were asleep, the mentor was the will of the entire Lizard Tribe. The fact that the Lizard Tribe had chosen to attack meant that they had received instructions from their teacher.
At this thought, Allen couldn't help but shake his head. He couldn't tell if the guardian had attacked because he didn't trust him, or if it was for some other reason.
That was why he had gone to the Holy Land. He had to understand his teacher's thoughts and retrieve Kana's will.
The night gradually deepened. Allen looked at the boundless night sky and felt that this journey was just like tonight's night sky. Many things were hidden under the night sky, like clouds of fog.
The next day, when they were preparing to leave, a member of the Rattlesnake Tribe discovered a team outside the city and immediately warned them.
Allen went to a high place and looked up. The team had already entered the city and was heading in their direction. The leader was a person in a black robe, and the others were Naga Warriors. There weren't many people in the team. Including the black-robed person, there were only eight of them. When he saw the black-robed person, Abby was extremely frightened. He pointed at the black figure and spat out two words, "Tutor!"
Tutor? Allen was surprised. What was this person trying to do by coming here? Was he testing him? Negotiating? Or both?
Rachel shouted from the stone house on the other side, "Stop and tell us why you're here. Otherwise, we'll open fire!"
He fired a shot at the ground in front of the team with a handgun. A cloud of sand spurted from the ground and formed an invisible boundary.
The black-robed person stopped and said in Eboynes' language, "I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to talk to your master."
Rachel looked at Allen, and the latter nodded. Then, Rachel pointed at the black-robed person and said, "Only you can come here. The rest of you must stay where you are!"
The black-robed person seemed to understand Rachel. He turned around and instructed the Naga Warriors before walking over alone. Allen met him in a stone house that had been cleared. Bai and Lucy accompanied him while Smiller guarded the door. Abby stayed with the rest of the Rattlesnake Tribe members. The old lizard slave had a natural fear of the Naga Warriors, so he hid far away.
In the stone house, the black-robed person didn't seem to want to show his face. His face was hidden in his hat, and he bowed slightly to Allen as a warning. Allen said in Eboynes' language, "This is a treasure vault, right?"
The black-robed person nodded and said, "We knew that the Son of Dawn would step on this land one day. We just didn't expect you to come so soon."
"It's already considered slow."
Allen thought that the other party knew his identity. Then, he said, "Since you know who I am, why did you still get the army to attack me? Didn't Cana tell you that you have to obey my orders? "
The black-robed person said in a low voice, "That's why we attacked. Cana created us, but she shouldn't have given us intelligence. She still gave us intelligence, and intelligence has told us more than once that we are free beings and don't have to fight for anyone. If there's a war, we'll only fight for ourselves. "
Allen laughed. "From the moment you were created, you were destined to fight against the Burning Legion. Now, you want to embrace freedom. Interesting. "
"Then who is it that gave us such a fate? Cana? Or your Dusk Clan? " The black-robed person continued, "Isn't your Dusk Clan also fighting to escape the fate imposed on you? Why can't we? We love this land and aren't willing to leave it. Our warriors can fight to protect the Red Tower Wood, but they aren't willing to sacrifice their lives for a stranger. "
"It sounds reasonable, and I can't find a reason to refute it. But I want to ask, is this the will of the entire lizard clan, or is it your own decision? Also, can you tell me where the Lizard King is? " Allen said indifferently, "If the lizard clan wants to fight against me for freedom, then please ask the Lizard King to come out and tell me. As for my mentor, you're the guardian, right? The guardian's mission is to protect Cana and guard the treasure vault so that it doesn't fall into the hands of others. Didn't Cana tell you this? "
The black-robed person's tone didn't change at all, and he still said in a low voice, "The Lizard King is still asleep. If it's disturbed, who knows what terrible things will happen. The lizard clan's future is up to me, and there's no need to ask the Lizard King. "
"Oh, alright. Then tell me, what do you suggest? "Allen smiled.
The black-robed person said in a low voice, "I want you to leave the Red Tower Wood and never step on this land again."
"Really? What if I don't agree? "
The black-robed person said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me what you will get first. If you agree to our condition, Son of Dawn, first of all, you won't have to fight against millions of lizards. Although you're brave, can you fight against the entire lizard clan? Obviously, that's impossible. To protect this place, Cana has set up a restriction that greatly weakens experts above level thirty. You won't be able to sense the existence of the void, and you'll be suppressed by Cana's will. However, I haven't used my final method yet. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to kill my warriors that day. "
"Secondly, if you agree to leave, I will give you an army. Not many, just ten thousand. This is the biggest compensation I can give you. Try to accept it. That way, you won't have to fight against us, and you won't have to risk your life. You can even get an elite army. If it were me, I would agree. "
Allen said without hesitation, "I refuse."
The black-robed person did not say anything in the hat.
"You don't understand at all. The Daybreak Plan is not only to overthrow the destiny that the Creator has imposed on the Dusk Race, but also to free the universe from the Creator's random plunder. Therefore, whether it's Cana's will or the lizard army, I will take them all. You can resist to the end for your freedom, and I won't take a step back either. Everything can only be settled through a battle. "
"What's the point of that?" The black-robed person's voice finally rose a little. "If the lizard clan fights to the death, even if you can kill all of us, what will you get?"
"That's right. I might not be able to obtain an army from the treasury, but I have to tell the other armies. In the face of the huge plan laid out by generations of Sons of Dusk, they have no leeway to bargain. If they aren't willing to fight for me, then the Sons of Dusk created them, and the Sons of Dawn will destroy them! "
"As for freedom, they will only have the right to discuss it with me after the battle with the Creator is over. At that time, it will be what they deserve. Before that, they need to fulfill their obligations. "
The black-robed person nodded. "Since you want a war, I will give you a war."
Then, he walked toward the gate.
Allen laughed. "Teacher, I don't think I said you were going to leave, right?"
