Soon after, Sui Xiong and Lefon arrived at the palace of the Orc Gods.
The Orc gods were not fond of luxury, and their palaces were not particularly ornate. It was just a number of large rooms connected together. Some rooms had huge tables, chairs, and many cooking utensils, which looked like a dining room. Some rooms had piles of weapons, armor, and other treasures, which looked like a warehouse. Some rooms had beds, which, of course, were bedrooms. There was also a room that was especially tall, with a large round table, and many chairs around it. It was messy and disorderly.
"Our meeting hall is a little shabby. Don't mind it." Lefon found a chair and sat down. He greeted Sui Xiong. "Don't stand there. Sit anywhere."
Sui Xiong was stunned and asked, "Don't these seats have corresponding owners?"
"It's not that troublesome. Just find a seat," Lefon said with a smile. "It's so troublesome to remember the seats!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh. He pulled a chair and sat opposite Lefon.
"I have a lot of questions to ask," he said.
"I know," Lefon replied. Lefon replied, "But first, tell me the purpose of your visit. Do you want me to issue an oracle to end the southern expedition of the Main Plane?"
Sui Xiong nodded and said seriously, "War is not good for anyone. I don't see why this war is necessary."
"But it's not bad," Lefon said carelessly. Lefon said nonchalantly, "Whether it's Orcs or humans, their fertility is quite strong. Even if a large number of people die, after a few decades or a hundred years, they will be born again. And if I remember correctly, there didn't seem to be any massacre this time. "
Sui Xiong sighed and said, "Orcs and humans, everyone lives in their own land. Isn't that good? I once walked in the Orc Empire and felt that the land there was not barren. It should be able to support enough people. "
"This is not a problem of food." Lefon thought for a while and said, "At least it's not just a problem of food. To the beastmen, the more people there are, the more they want war. They want the survival of the fittest through war to select more powerhouses and improve the quality of the entire race. This is an instinct engraved in their souls, and it is also the reason why they were created in the first place. "
He paused and said, "Oscar, do you know the origin of us orcs?"
"As far as I know, the first orcs were created by the ancient god 'ancestor'," Sui Xiong replied. "Is that so?"
"Yes, but it's not comprehensive." Lefon said, "A long, long time ago, there were only all kinds of powerful monsters on the earth. They killed each other and constantly transformed. There was no fixed race. Under such circumstances, the Goddess of Life created the elves, now known as the High Elves. This race with a stable civilization quickly developed and became her right-hand man. When the other Ancient Gods saw this, they used the Elves as a model and created other races. The Sea Mother created humans, while the Ancestor God created us beastmen. "
"The ancient gods aren't friendly with each other. On the contrary, they often engage in battle. The Water Mother and the Ancestor God are sworn enemies. Mother Water had many friends, and the Ancestor God was powerful. Both sides were locked in a stalemate. After that, the Water Mother created humans and planned to nurture them into a powerful fighting race. This was to become an aid in fighting against the Ancestor God. After the Ancestor God found out, he created the Orcs to fight against the humans. " Lefon said. "So, whether it's humans or Orcs, it's our natural mission to be hostile and fight against each other. Our two races are born to fight against each other."
"Humans shouldn't be born for others," Sui Xiong said. "Why did the Water Mother create humans and the Ancestor God create the Orcs? This has nothing to do with how humans and Orcs should live. Just like how children don't necessarily have to live according to their parents' wishes, humans and Orcs are the same. "
"Of course, this can be said between children and their parents, but can it be said between tools and their masters?" Lefon said with a smile. "However, something unexpected happened. The Ancestor God accidentally glimpsed the mystery of 'greater Divine Power' and wanted to break through to that realm. In the end, he failed and died. Without an opponent, the Water Mother quickly fell into silence. She couldn't even be bothered with the humans anymore. In the end, as time passed, the humans developed to a point where they surpassed the Water Mother's power. They actually killed the Water Mother … This happened not long ago. I'm sure you know about it. "
Sui Xiong nodded. "Although I don't agree with the God of Light's way of doing things, you see, tools don't necessarily have to live the way their masters want them to."
"Yes, that's why I'm pursuing change," Lefon said. "I think that if we want to change, we should start from two directions. The first is to change the Orcs' nature as a fighting race. The second is to change the Orcs' hostile attitude towards humans. The former has a lot of implications, so I'm only doing experiments here in the God Kingdom. As for the latter, I've already asked my chosen people to try it out. It seems like the results are not bad. "
"The results are not bad?"
"Yes, look at this southern expedition. After the Orcs conquered the human cities, there was no massacre." Lefon said with a smile. "This is progress."
"But this war was not necessary!" Sui Xiong emphasized. "In my territory, there are also Orcs, Half Orcs, and humans. Everyone gets along very well. There is no hostility at all!"
"That's because the Orcs who are willing to leave the grasslands to make a living on their own are mostly open-minded people who are not bound by tradition." Lefon smiled and waved his hand in the air. Many scenes appeared in front of them. These scenes could be roughly divided into two categories. One was the Orcs who left the grasslands to make a living. Although they did not get along well with humans, most of them were able to control their nature and abide by the law. Although the proportion of them who became bandits was also very high. On the other side were the orcs who stayed in the grassland tribes. They lived a nomadic life day after day, passing down the martial prowess of their ancestors through word of mouth. Their biggest dream in life was to become strong and make contributions in the "Southern Expedition".
"I think that there is probably no race in the world that is stranger than us Orcs. The Orcs who left the tribes and the Orcs who stayed in the tribes have nothing in common other than their similar appearances, "Lefon said. Lefon said, "So I guess, maybe we orcs are a race that can change easily. Maybe in a few generations, we will be able to change our long-standing traditions."
"Then why not change now?" Sui Xiong asked.
"If we do it overnight, it will be too painful for the Orcs." Lefon spread out his hands and said very straightforwardly, "It is better to solve the problem through war. This is a more acceptable way for the Orcs."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you." He smiled again and said, "Last time, in the boundary between nomadic and farming areas, the method you used to solve the long-standing conflict seemed very stupid and perverted at first glance, but the actual effect was quite good. My chosen people used this method between the Orcs and humans. I think the effect should be quite good. "Sui Xiong frowned.
He waved his tentacles and the scene of the Orc captive camp appeared. "This situation can't be said to be 'quite good'!"
Lefon looked at it and asked with some confusion, "Isn't it quite good? I see that those men are having fun with the rabbits. "
"What your chosen people did was actually depriving the humans of their reproductive rights and forcing them to mix," Sui Xiong said in a low voice. "This is not solving the conflict at all. It is exterminating the human race!"
"I can't agree with this. He did not carry out a massacre."
"It is nothing more than short-term and long-term!" Sui Xiong's voice gradually became cold. "Isolating the human males and females of reproductive age and only letting the men and the Rabbit Tribe mate to give birth to Orcs. When this generation of humans die of old age, isn't that the extinction of the human race?"
Lefon touched his chin and pondered.
After a while, he nodded slightly and said, "Why didn't I think of this method! Turning humans into half-beastmen would solve all our problems! "
"Hey! There is something wrong with this idea! "Sui Xiong shouted.
"No problem, no problem at all!" Lefon smiled and was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and looked coldly at the sky.
"I take back what I said," he said. "Now, here is the problem."
