Rorschach didn't want to interfere with the choice of the future path, but he felt like he had been involved from the very start.
After all, Novodonia, the city that caused such a huge commotion, had originally originated from one of Rorschach's ideas.
However, this was still only an opportunity. Even if Novodonia hadn't been built, what would have come would have come … perhaps in an even more intense way.
The older generation of Seymour people desired change, so they decided to coexist with the Aishi People and viewed the Evil Gods as their mortal enemies. Even without Novodonia, they would have taken this opportunity to change their own species. Cape Town was their most successful attempt.
Meanwhile, the younger Sydeen was clearly a member of the younger generation, but he still believed in the old law of the jungle. Perhaps it was because his adoptive father gave him too much pressure, making him seem too much like a so-called wise ruler, so he was rather extreme in his ruling methods.
Rorschach thought about it carefully. If he was in Sydeen's position, he would probably have made a similar judgment.
After all, the Aishi People's technology was obviously far too advanced, and they had an advantage in all aspects. Advanced magical engineering technology represented advanced industrial standards and military equipment, which naturally meant better military strength and living conditions. Meanwhile, their cultural and historical advantages were an unstoppable mental invasion.
The Aishi People's mere existence gave Sydeen far too much pressure. Perhaps their friendliness made Sydeen even more wary than the evil reputation of the Evil Gods … Of course, the prerequisite was that Sydeen viewed establishing the Seymour Empire as his lifelong goal, and viewed himself as the emperor who would succeed in uniting the Seymour people.
From a certain standpoint, Sydeen was even worse than his adoptive father. Sydeen was afraid of outsiders, but didn't take the initiative to interact with outsiders. His values of being neither friend nor foe naturally made him feel like there was too much danger and not enough time, which was why he acted even more intensely.
Perhaps Sydeen would have been just like his adoptive father. He would have put down his work and lived for a while in one of the Aishi People's mega settlements. He would have interacted more with the locals there and seen the world. Many things would have been different.
But right now, there was no meaning in saying "what if" or "what if". Sydeen's adoptive father had tricked him in the end, so he could only accept the current situation for a long time.
While trying to reorganize the internal affairs, he also tried to learn how to communicate with the outsiders in a normal way. Yes, equal communication, peaceful communication … provided that his authority was not overthrown by the resentful citizens.
Perhaps Old Sias was also responsible for this. He had given this Engineer too much responsibility and didn't give him a clearer direction. Perhaps he had to atone for his sins in his own way …
"Sir Rorschach, perhaps we should thank you for keeping us away from the flames of war, but there are actually other matters that we have come to discuss today."
Old Martha's words interrupted Rorschach's exclamation. The elder of Mount Sainte also revealed his intentions.
In a sense, the tribes of Mount Sainte and the wilderness were the ones who benefited the most from that night of bloodshed. The upcoming 'war of unification' had become meaningless, and the Seymour tribes no longer had to worry about being 'unified'. In fact, they could no longer hold on.
"… Actually, we've already made preparations to migrate again. A dark future is still better than becoming prisoners of war and slaves. "
Martha smiled bitterly with a complex expression. She had intentionally let herself loose in Cape Town back then, but she had almost forced herself to leave her home. This was a classic case of shooting herself in the foot.
"Sias left a letter for Sydeon that should calm him down. At the very least, we won't have to worry about him for the time being. At this time, perhaps we can talk about some serious matters. Uh, in your words, we're talking business. "
Rorschach was surprised at first, but then he understood.
Sias' sacrifice had prevented Vila Nova Dônia from going to war, so of course they owed him a favor.
Mentioning a favor first before talking about business naturally made it difficult for them to straighten their backs. And the existence of external enemies (Cape Town) made it even more necessary for them to complete this business deal.
"This old woman is shamelessly asking you if you can give us an additional 30,000 people to migrate."
"30,000 people? How many people does your tribe have? "
"According to the statistics from ten years ago, including the tribes around Mount Sainte, we have about 120,000 people. However, there were only so many people that the old woman could call upon before the next thunder season.
Roxia quickly understood what was going on. 'They're moving with all their belongings.'
Previously, Mount Sainte's Eagle Tribe had been betting on both sides. Now that there was no threat of war, they were determined to migrate.
Compared to Cape Town, which was currently in chaos, Vila Nova Dônia was perhaps a better choice.
What she said before could be considered as her betrayal … At least, if what she said was true, then the Eagle Tribe and Cape Town were two completely different things. Since the Eagle Tribe and Cape Town were willing to coexist, the Aishi People didn't need to be too wary of them.
Apart from the fact that they were friends with Rorschach, perhaps she also valued Rorschach's natural talent ability, which was no longer a secret. Information passed to her through Rorschach was more trustworthy than directly visiting her.
[Agree to her request. This is a great thing.]
Lori had already made her decision. Actually, Vila Nova Dônia's main goal was to recruit immigrants, so they wouldn't refuse.
And since they came through the Game Church's channels, these immigrants were natural allies of the Game Church. Many things didn't need to be said out loud for everyone to understand.
Actually, even though they were having a good time, both sides had intentionally neglected some things.
For example, the Aishi Church and the Descender Church had suffered great losses that night. Back then, Siyas had used himself as a trap not only for the Seimos, but also for the powerful God of War (Serial Number) Church to directly give up on their business here.
Perhaps this was also a silent warning to the Aishi People not to interfere too deeply.
Perhaps the current situation was the most suitable for the Seimos.
On one hand, they could develop conservatively in Cape Town, while on the other hand, they could try out a new life in Vila Nova Dônia. Even if something happened on either side, it wouldn't affect the entire race's future … Wasn't this the same as how Mount Sainte and Cape Town were divided into two extremes back then?
"Could it be that your race's unique ability allows you to bet on both sides?"
Rorschach accidentally blurted out again.
"Ha, please call it the cautiousness of someone who has gone through so much."
That was enough, but Rorschach still wasn't satisfied. He fell silent, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked a question.
"Do you still have faith? Perhaps the Master of Games would be a good person to worship … She doesn't care about anything!"
Marsha paused for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.
"I'm old and can't keep up with the times. Back then, I personally wrote the Mount Sainte Codex. It's really inappropriate to change my faith now … However, my granddaughter and granddaughter might be interested in the teachings of the younger generation."
Roxia hurriedly nodded with a smile. Perhaps everyone would really become a family in the future.
It just so happens that Lori lacks a few direct priests. Perhaps a Saintess would be fine too. "
