The Age of Machines

Chapter 369 Li Ren
"Ambition."

The beginning of all evils comes from the ambitions in the hearts of the people in the Great Wilderness.Since the establishment of the Great Wilderness, priests were enshrined as gods, the barbarians have been fighting for the Great Wilderness for decades, and have never been defeated by the enemy once.

Power brings them blind self-confidence, and also makes them want to obtain more status and rights in line with their racial identity.The existence of the high priest suppressed their way forward. As long as the priest lived in the world, the barbarians could not be free.

They want to establish their own country, have their own kingdom and territory, enjoy endless glory and wealth, and have their own people.

However, all fantasies are just dreams in the end.Because of the priests, they can only be butchers with butcher knives, and they can only always charge at the forefront of the battlefield. The days of ease have never belonged to them.

Where does the difference between a king and a slave come from?
The instinct of blood.

The blood yielded to the priests and was the yoke by which they became slaves.If you don't get rid of it for a day, you will never be able to stand up!

They are a race that inherited the blood of the ancient stone apes. They were born in response to the sky, and their arms have the power to kill gods and demons.They should be proud of the world and become kings who rule the world. Why do they submit to a woman as cattle and horses?
The barbarians who don't want to be butchers begin to set their eyes on the crown. Ambition, desire, and desire incite the darkness buried deep in their hearts, and gradually breed a rebellious heart.

That night, the self-proclaimed noble race was also confused by the so-called ambition for the sake of power and wealth, and turned into a wild beast, devouring the city of priests step by step.

"Has the priest himself done too much?"

If the high priest himself suppressed the barbarians too much, it may also be one of the reasons for the barbarians' rebellion.

Dill shook his head, the priest is the last person who doesn't want to bother others.For the barbarians, the high priest never exerted excessive pressure on them, and even gave them rights that other species did not have.

Wilderness is a country made up of many races from all over the world.There is no unified clothing, no unified culture, no unified language...the only thing that is the same is probably the same ruler, the sun god.

There is also the same god, the high priest.

"The high priest can read people's hearts." Dill loosened his brows, mentioned that the priest's tone was relaxed, and said: "My lord will not lie to any of us, and he is not a human being with a different surface."

"Adults live a real life, but it is also very painful."

won't lie...

Beixi thought, it should be impossible to lie.The greater the power of the priest, the greater the responsibility.The higher she stands, the more she faces.

"Who is the sun god?"

Dill mentioned the sun god just now, but he just mentioned it in one sentence without giving a detailed introduction. Lollipop couldn't help being curious.

Dill was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent.

"Dis."

what?
Everyone looked at Gulu who suddenly spoke, who is Di Si?
"Used to be the most outstanding king in the wilderness."

It turned out to be the King of the Wilderness.

For a while, everyone had different thoughts in their minds. When King Dill was mentioned, they fell silent. Why?Along the way, they heard that the priest had died, the wilderness had been destroyed, and only a few dozen barbarians remained here to barely survive.

So the king is dead too?

why die?Killed by whom?Or is he still alive?

At this time, there was a knock on the door, the rhythm of the conversation was broken, and everyone couldn't help swallowing the questions that had just come to their lips.

Gulu walked to the door, extinguished the oil lamp, and then opened the wooden door, and the man in black walked in slowly.It's Li Ren!

"Teacher Dill." He bowed to Dill first, with a respectful tone.

Dill held the tea and took a sip.The closed eyes never opened, looked at the place where Li Ren walked in, and said indifferently: "It seems that Dill's crime is not small for letting the patriarch condescend to come to the cottage to ask for someone."

"Teacher Dill, I didn't mean to embarrass your friend." Li Ren smiled, looking very kind.

"What are you here for?"

Li Ren walked to the table, with a height of more than two meters, he felt somewhat condescending. "I also have something to talk to your guest about!"

Dill looked up at Li Ren, guessing his purpose, and didn't stop him.

Li Ren took a step back, and then sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very casual.Looking over Beixi and the others, he said in a low voice, "We know why you guys are here."

"We don't quite understand what the patriarch means." The peacock smiled playfully.

"The priest once made a contract with our family. Although the priest is dead and no one restrains us anymore, the power of the previous contract has been integrated into the blood of our family and will not be eliminated so easily. I can feel..." Li Ren's gaze Falling on Beixi, his tone became more serious, and he said, "You have the power of a high priest."

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, wondering why Li Ren came here?
Beixi said lightly: "So what?"

"Our family has been taken too much by the priests. Strength, freedom, and a home to live in..." Li Ren whispered, looking at Beixi coldly.

When Dill heard this, he sneered, "If the priest didn't save you, how can we talk about strength and freedom? Isn't the power in your body inspired by the priest's blood?"

Li Ren pursed her lips, "But because of her, we are indeed bound."

Dill chuckled and said, "Greens really showed his skills. If you insist on thinking this way, I can't say anything! Please come back!"

"Teacher, I know you have opinions on the Great Elder, but he is also for the better development of the clan..."

"Your grievances, I don't want to know." Beixi interrupted Li Ren, stood up and looked at him, smiling, and said: "Tell me, the purpose of your coming."

"I know you are here for the gems."

gem?

They just want to receive the task of entering the city of doom and learn the truth about the Great Desolation... Before arriving here, they didn't know the existence of gems.

Everyone opened the task, and the requirements have changed.

【Enter the City of Doom】

Current stage: Talk to Li Ren and listen to his request.

"We just want to know about the Great Wilderness."

Li Ren didn't believe their purpose was that simple, but he did need the help of these people.

"Without the High Priest, it would be useless even if they obtained the gems." Dill said calmly beside him.

"I know." Of course he knew that the power of the High Priest Gem could not be activated without it.He also wanted this pedestrian to give up the idea of ​​taking gems and focus more on other places.

Since they have the power of the priests, they came here to avenge the priests.

They need to enter the city of doom to avenge the priest.

"We have a common enemy."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you want to kill Uerlin and the king?" Li Ren was puzzled.

Urlin?king?Everyone was surprised, why did they kill her and the king? Could it be that the long witch and the king were the main culprits who killed the priest and caused the destruction of the wilderness?
What Li Ren said next seemed to verify everyone's thoughts. "Urlin and Dis are the real culprits who led the death ceremony."

Of course Beixi knew this.

But others don't know.What Li Ren said made them feel that the black mist in front of them was gradually dissipating, and it seemed that everything was starting to become clear.

"With all due respect, the barbarians also participated in the killing of the priest." Ning Que interrupted him.It is absolutely impossible to say that Urlin and the king led a conspiracy to kill the holy high priest.The mistakes made by the barbarians, does he want to take them all away?Without a trace of remorse?
Li Ren's face turned pale, and he growled, "Don't we shed enough blood?" In that feast, all the barbarians who entered the city of priests were killed by Urlin and the king. In the city, not only did they not stop, they even began to massacre the barbarians outside. In order to avoid being chased and killed, more than a dozen surviving barbarians were forced to live on the ground, unable to get out or leave the wilderness.

They are cursed to die once out of the wilderness.

After exterminating the clan in exchange for freedom, they could only live on the ground, and at the same time, their resentment towards the king and Urlin was even deeper in their bones.

The moment the priest died, the power of the barbarians was also deprived.They were deceived by that woman Urlin, and they were just pawns and tools for Urlin to kill the high priest.

However, things have already happened, the priest was buried with his own hands, and his own race was also buried with his own hands.

In the end, all he got was the word "stupid".

In Dill's view, this race is still stupid and stubborn.Sure enough, there is nothing perfect in this world, just like the barbarians have power but no brains.

Those people were not killed by the priests after all.

As servants of the priest, what does it matter if they die with them?
Those tens of thousands of lives are still no match for one life of a priest.The priest died, and so did fifty thousand innocent lives in Dahuang.

In the end, those who survived were all sinners.

There was no trace of remorse in Li Ren's words, he only hated the real culprit who killed the barbarian.There is no remorse for the priest's death.

Maybe they are unwilling to admit their mistakes, and they are unwilling to admit that killing the priest themselves has led to this end.

It is only now that Beixi understands that this is a selfish race.

The previous mission process was just to enter the tribe smoothly. Li Ren regarded the old demon as the savior of the tribe and sent him into the city of doom, and the mission went smoothly afterwards.

They don't speak savagely, and the tasks they receive are different from the beginning.Although they can all enter the city of doom in the end, the process is different.How much can be learned, what can be obtained, what kind of hidden tasks can be dug up...

Beixi took a look at Dill. At first, because the old demon could speak savagely, the mission went so smoothly. They didn't know that Dill still had hidden missions.

I don't know if I can talk to King Dis this time.

"If the patriarch wants revenge, then please tell us what you know."
