"Did you expect it? That's why you dared to come to us?" The great priest coldly stared at Dean. She didn't want to continue to hide anything from Dean.
Dean indifferently said: "I've been waiting for more than twenty days. I've guessed that you have an intention towards me but I don't know what it is. I didn't know until you asked me about the God's Wall. I don't think it's a problem. The God's Wall is very vast and most of the territory is uninhabited. Moreover, the environment here is heaven. It can accommodate all of you."
Great priest's eyes lit up: "How do I know if what you said is true or false?"
"If I didn't tell you in the beginning then I would have guessed your thoughts. Would you be more willing to believe me?" Dean sneered: "I can pretend that I don't know anything and answer you foolishly. Then you will spend time to guess. What's the point of that? What you are looking for is to move to the God's Wall. It's a very, very, very small thing. It's like a bug flying into your village. No one will notice it. Of course the metaphor isn't appropriate but it's the fact. "
Amelia was shocked as she looked at the great priest. According to Dean, the territory of the God's Wall was unimaginably vast.
The Grand Priest's expression was indifferent: "It's not like I don't know anything about the Divine Wall. I know that the territory there is vast and the Divine Wall is extremely tough. It can withstand the invasion of the majority of Wild Beasts. Tens of millions of people can live there. However, what I want to know is what kind of world the Divine Wall is like. Is it a world where the weak are prey to the strong?"
Dean chuckled: "It seems that any world is like that. Isn't it the same here?"
"Presumptuous!" Amelie's eyebrows rose: "We are not like that here. We are very peaceful. There has never been a war!"
"There is no war because they are tamed. They don't have greed." Dean faintly looked at her: "If another girl appears in the village and replaces your position, then she will be the goddess and you can only be an ordinary villager. Will you be willing to eat the same bad food as them? If you are not satisfied, what will you do? There is no war here, but the weak are still the servants. You are the rulers! "
Amelia gritted her teeth: "I-I won't!"
Dean shrugged his shoulders.
Great priest coldly stared at Dean. It had been a long time since someone spoke to her with such an attitude. She was angry but she knew that Dean carried the hope of their continuation. She thought for a moment: "In some sense you are right. But the law of the jungle has different distinctions. Some are naked and some are hidden in the dark. Which one is it in the wall?"
"The second one." Dean said without thinking. He knew what the great priest was worried about. If the first one was the law of the jungle then there would be no benevolence and justice on the surface. It would be no different from the monster world outside the giant wall. It would be the most inhumane world. It meant that the strong could burn and loot unscrupulously. There would be no order and rules to speak of.
'The law of the jungle' was a cruel rule that couldn't be erased. In a sense, there was a distinction between the human society and the animal world. Although this was often said to be hypocritical but it was the biggest difference between humans and animals!
In the animal world, one would become prey if one didn't have enough strength.
In the human world, one would be swallowed if one didn't have enough wisdom.
The great priest nodded. It made her feel a little relieved. She could see that Dean wasn't lying. Moreover the possibility of the first one was low. She asked: "Can you tell us the location of the wall?"
Dean said: "You won't be able to go even if I tell you. It's a long journey and I've gone through many hardships to come here. Monsters are rare in the area around the wall. Generally people like Priley can hunt there at any time. The number and strength of monsters are much higher in the farther places. As for the furthest place, it's the area where you live. We call it the abyss. It's usually forbidden to enter."
Amelia was surprised: "Is it because the wild beasts here are more powerful?"
"Yes." Dean nodded: "No one will come here unless they are courting death. We usually hunt in the wasteland outside the abyss. The area inside the wall is vast so we don't need to hunt for sustenance. We rely on growing crops. The reason why we hunt is to expand the area. We hope that one day we can eliminate all the monsters in the world. Then only we humans will be left and we can go anywhere we want."
Naturally, this point was replaced by his own expectations and wishes. The reason why the witches were hunting was because of the needs of the Monster Research Institute and also the needs of the Kingdom of God.
"Eliminate all the monsters?" Amelia knew that the monsters Dean was talking about were the wild beasts. Her eyes lit up as she heard Dean's words: "There are so many monsters. Can we really eliminate all of them? It would be great if the Aragami were still here. If that was the case, we might really be able to travel to any place in the world like what you said. Unfortunately, we humans can only hide here. These wild beasts are too strong, and there are too many of them. They reproduce very quickly. There's no way we can kill them all … "At the end of her sentence, her eyes dimmed and her face was filled with frustration.
"Although the task is difficult but we don't know if we don't do it. After all, we humans used to be the rulers of the world!" Dean's eyes flashed with a trace of passion.
Amelia was surprised: "We were the rulers of the world? How is it possible? "
"Why is it not possible?" Dean looked at her as if it was a matter of course.
The great priest stared at Dean and slowly said: "You are right. We humans were the strongest race in the world before the catastrophe. But since the death of the Aragami, the status of humans has ceased to exist. I hope that there are surviving Aragami in this world that will lead us to the strongest!"
Dean slightly raised his eyebrows as he thought that this had nothing to do with the Aragami. But from her words he could see that they didn't know much about the things before the catastrophe. Otherwise they wouldn't put the Aragami in such a high position.
He did not continue to delve into this problem, and changed the topic, "After I go to the Earth Dragon Cave, regardless of whether the desolate worms there can increase my power, I will tell you the location of the divine wall. However, it is still okay for you to hide here and live. If you move, with so many people, the number of people who can reach the divine wall alive will not exceed five, or even all of you will die."
"No!" The great priest frowned: "You have to tell us the location of the God's Wall first."
"You can't go even if I tell you." Dean helplessly emphasized.
The great priest coldly said: "How do you know that we can't go? We will find a way to get to the God's Wall. Even if we can't think of a way then the next generation will be able to find a way to move to the God's Wall. "
Dean saw that she was so stubborn. He thought that it wouldn't be a problem for them to go to the wall. There was more than enough space to accommodate them. Even if there was any conflict it would be solved by Aristotle. He said: "OK, I'll draw the route to the wall for you. But I can only draw half of it for you. I'll draw the rest for you after I come out of the dragon cave."
Amelia was angry: "Are you worried that we will break our promise?"
"Of course." Dean didn't think about it.
Amelia was so angry that her eyes rolled out. She stamped her feet but didn't know what to say to Dean.
The great priest calmly said: "That won't do. What if the route you draw is wrong? Won't we suffer in vain?"
"It seems that we can't trust each other." Dean frowned as he felt the problem. Trust was a problem. Moreover, their ancestors had eaten the loss of outsiders. It was difficult to build trust.
The great priest also saw the problem. He pondered for a moment and said: "I have an idea. You take Amelie back to the Divine Wall first. After you finish this, Amelie will write a letter for you to bring back. That way, there won't be a problem."
Dean frowned. It was a bit of a waste of time. After all, he had experienced many dangers and wasted a lot of time. It would take several months to go back and forth. However, it was the only way.
"What if he kills me?" Amelia was nervous and worried when she heard that she had to leave with Dean.
The Great Priest said, "So, let Mister Dean leave your lover here. When you bring back Amelie's letter, I will …"
"No!" Dean didn't wait for her to finish her words. He flatly refused: "I won't leave her here."
The great priest didn't expect Dean's reaction to be so intense. He frowned: "She is just a corpse. We won't do anything to her. What are you worried about?"
"Don't say anymore. I won't leave her here as a mortgage." Dean's eyes flashed. His body exuded a murderous aura.
The great priest knew that Dean was irritated. He didn't say anything else.
Amelia wanted to jump up but didn't expect Dean's reaction to be stronger than her. She stared at Dean: "Can't my life be compared to hers? She is dead but I am alive! "
