The darkness of the night covered up all the conspiracies. As the believers of the evil god wreaked havoc, the civilians trembled in their houses. No one could predict what would happen tonight.
The evil god believers' plan seemed to have failed.
According to their usual style, they should have succeeded in creating a massacre, pulling out a bunch of sacrifices, holding a series of sacrificial rituals, summoning a bunch of demons and monsters, and then entering a "virtuous" cycle.
Their miscalculation wasn't just a misjudgment of their own strength, nor was it just that the average quality of the Seymour people was too high.
They used their past experience to evaluate the current era. Back then, the Seymour people were still a farming civilization with tribes and villages, and there was a relative distance between individuals.
A person might go missing and only be discovered after a few days.
Now, Cape Town had also entered the primary industrial society of Vila Nova Dônia. The large-scale employment of workers in factories and modern collective farms made the distance between people in this era very close.
The result was that if you offended one person, you would easily offend a group of people. To create a tragic large-scale sacrificial ritual, you needed enough professional organizational skills and sufficient time to plan.
The current situation of the society wasn't peaceful, so the farms and factories had long-trained militia guards. They might not be professional soldiers, but the evil god believers weren't even qualified to be terrorists.
Without the demons and monsters exchanged for through the sacrificial ritual, the evil god believers wouldn't be able to cause trouble on their own.
But even so, no one had the thought of letting the evil god believers go.
When the warlords saw them, they wouldn't hesitate to kill them. They were an unstable factor in the city, a pest that affected their rule.
When ordinary people saw them, as long as the situation allowed, they would definitely kill them. With the efforts of the Aishi People, now everyone in Cape Town knew what kind of existence the evil gods and their believers were. Perhaps it was because of the propaganda that caused the current situation of panic to spread.
Rorschach and his Game Church naturally wouldn't let them go.
"The evil god believers are like pests in a house. When you see one, there's already a nest of them in the house. If you see one in the day, that house will probably be too rotten to live in. Now that they've appeared, we can't let them go."
Although the battle had begun, and reports of victory and bitter battles were constantly being sent over, Rorschach didn't plan to personally participate.
He had a more important mission to do.
"Evil God? Actually, I personally don't have a good impression of the Eye of Wisdom. Originally, I agreed with their declaration that knowledge can change everything. But when I see those people who are addicted to their faith not working in factories or farms, praying all day for a better life, and then blaming all the misfortune on themselves for not being devout enough, I don't agree with them at all. "
Talking to Feng Yu and being his bodyguard is Rorschach's most important job now.
Since Rorschach had decided to push him to the top, he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with him. Of course, this was still nonsense. After this matter was over, they would have as much time to communicate as they wanted.
Rorschach nodded in agreement after hearing Feng Yu's opinion on the Evil God.
This was what he was doing now. Although he had already confirmed that the other party was the future city lord that he was supporting, he had to seize the time to inquire about the other party's thoughts and personality.
Rorschach, who was a human lie detector, was probably the most suitable person to do this kind of thing.
"If the Dimensional War did not happen in the next ten years, do you think the Aishi People and the Seymour people would have a common future?"
"Of course. I am personally grateful to the Aishi People. If not, we would still be in a primitive and ignorant state. Although there have been many problems in the development process, I personally strongly oppose the act of rejecting development just because there have been problems. As long as we are alive, there will be problems. As the leader, it is my job to solve these problems. "
Why didn't he wait until he was promoted? If he was promoted, it would be too late if he realized that something was wrong.
This was not only because Rorschach had a deeper understanding of Feng Yu. At the same time, Feng Yu had also obtained the Aishi People's thoughts and promises from Rorschach, who did not lie.
Both sides were no longer discussing the Evil God in front of them. They had even skipped the level of the Dimensional War and directly started discussing the future and development of their race.
It might seem like a far-fetched topic, but it was something that both parties had to do.
Previously, both parties had too little interaction. Politics was the art of compromise. If both parties did not even know each other's thoughts and ideals, how could they continue working together?
Rorschach was forced to sign a five-year plan, a ten-year strategy, and a fifteen-year general plan with Feng. He had completely abandoned the new city's board of directors. Not only would he not have to go back and explain things to them, but he would also fall out with them when he returned.
But in reality, Rorschach had no way out.
The Dimensional War had arrived too quickly. He had to do his best to hug the Mage Country's thighs. The Seymour people, who were also in the same war, could be expected. The New God's Church could also disembark if they wanted to.
Rorschach was also quite satisfied with Feng's response.
Feng was far more pragmatic than he had expected.
That's right, pragmatic. This was Rorschach's understanding of Feng. He was neither wise nor friendly. He was simply pragmatic.
Seymour loved his people and was willing to sacrifice everything for his people. He did not care about racial differences. As long as the Aishi People could bring development and progress to his people, he felt that everything was worth it.
Seymour did not have any beliefs or ideologies. He only had faith in stable numerical values. Rorschach never expected that Seymour would be able to use these common terms so fluently. Rorschach never expected that Seymour would be able to use them so fluently.
Seymour had exceeded the limits of this era and the world. Seeing the future of his people and taking action for it, Seymour was either a madman or a great man.
Rorschach even started to understand. Perhaps Mu Na had made such a choice because she felt that Feng Cai was the only person who could lead her people to the future. Perhaps she saw the shadow of the old city lord and Marsha in Feng Cai.
Communication was mutual. Rorschach did not know that Feng's exclamation was even deeper.
"Twenty-three years old? You're really young. You became a descender when you were still a student? You're really … young and promising. "
It was a polite exclamation, but there was helplessness and sorrow in it.
It was the benefits of being a long-lived species, but no one knew the helplessness and despair of being a long-lived species.
While sighing at Rorschach's youth, Feng was thinking about the future.
Perhaps Rorschach himself did not remember, but Feng had met him a long time ago. At that time, although he pretended to be mature, his actions and speech were immature. He was obviously a newbie in politics.
But after a few years, not only had his personal strength improved, but he was also able to handle matters on his own.
This made Feng fearful.
Yes, fearful. In his opinion, 20 years was not enough for the children of the Seymour people to evolve from diapers to open-crotch pants. The Aishi People were able to produce outstanding talents who could handle matters on their own. Their individual strength was enough to face the Evil God's incarnation.
This speed of growth made Feng, who was a long-lived species, fearful.
"Maybe the short-lived species' sense of crisis made them not dare to rest for even a moment. That was why they were able to achieve 100 years of growth in 10 years."
In Feng's opinion, the Aishi People were harder to deal with than the Evil Gods. They were even more undefeatable.
Evil Gods are unreasonable beasts, natural disasters that descend from the heavens. However, the people of Eich are all about logic and benefits. They use their advanced civilization to invade your tribe's culture. By the time you realize it, you will already be unable to leave them.
Even if you fought with the Aishi People, the outcome would not change. The Aishi People were able to produce a generation in 20 years. On the other hand, it would take at least 70 years for the long-lived species to produce a generation.
"Since there is no hope of winning, then let's use this as a precondition to seek the best path for our people."
There were not many idiots who could rise to the top. All the leaders of the Seymour people could see this clearly. That was why they were hostile towards the Aishi People. However, they were unable to leave them. When you were used to high-rise buildings, water, electricity, and transportation, you could really return to the primitive society.
However, Rorschach was right. Feng was more pragmatic than the rest.
"Politicians who only exacerbate the conflict are foolish. It was easy to push all the responsibility to the Aishi People. However, other than making them hate each other, is there any practical use? Back then, we fought with each other and stole slaves. Compared to the Aishi People, we were more like barbarians. "
The pragmatic Feng knew that it was impossible to expel the Aishi People and that they were unable to leave them. Creating hostility would only exacerbate the conflict between them. It was better to get rid of the meaningless nationalism and plan for the future based on the long-term existence of the Aishi People.
His conversation with Rorschach intensified this impression.
He was not afraid of the independent warlords. Instead, he mocked them for being short-sighted and losing the most important people.
He was also not afraid of the Evil Gods and their minions. They were his old rivals.
What he was afraid of were the advanced civilizations that were ahead of him in all aspects. From various sources, he found out that their civilization also had extremely powerful long-lived species. However, the ones who eventually became the overlords were the short-lived humans.
He had been building factories and collective farms to imitate the Aishi People's way of life in order to speed up the pace and lifestyle of his people.
From his point of view, it was not a problem for his people to live a busy life due to their inflated materialistic desires. Instead, it was the driving force for his people to improve.
In primitive societies, everyone's desires were the lowest. It was enough to fill their stomachs. However, that was not a good society.
His slogan was also overly pragmatic. It was "Learn from the Aishi People's technology and improve our lives." It was also because of this that he was mocked by many warlords as the "fake Aishi People."
It could be said that Feng had been waiting for this day for a long time. He had always wanted to have the power to change everything. This day had finally arrived.
The communication between the two of them finally reached a conclusion.
What made Feng the most satisfied was Rorschach's promise regarding the military in front of the Aishi People.
"After unification, we will form a modern army?"
This was an excellent condition that Feng did not even dare to think about before. Pragmatic people were very rational. Of course, he knew that one of the people behind the chaos in Cape Town was the Aishi People.
In the past, the Aishi People did not even want to see a unified government, let alone a unified army.
At this time, Rorschach was a little surprised. Did Feng really not know anything?
"You actually don't know that the Dimensional Barrier is gradually disappearing. The Dimensional War will start in ten years. Even the Evil Gods themselves will enter our world."
However, the next moment, Rorschach knew that he had said something stupid.
The Dimensional War was not a secret in the Aishi People, but it might not be a secret here.
The other churches were all looking out for themselves. They were afraid that the news would be leaked and affect their recent harvest. Other than himself and the Game Church, no other church would tell the Seymour People the truth.
