Chapter 1495: Conflicts between Different Races

[If the world only had human beings as the flower of civilization, how lonely it would be. ]

This is the heartfelt sigh of some idle bards after traveling around the world and witnessing many wonderful alien cultures.

The lords of the kingdom and even some businessmen just want to strangle these bastards who are wandering around.

A bard wandering around as an individual can certainly feel the novel and interesting parts of alien civilizations, but organizations of at least a certain size will only feel the troubles brought about by conflicts of interest one after another.

To simplify it, it is a question of rules between different civilizations.

Every intelligent ethnic group of a certain size has its own ruling system, and they may not even be harmonious and friendly among themselves, let alone different races.

Take the relationship between orcs and humans for example. Apart from the bloody history of long-term hunting and expulsion of non-human races during the High Holy Kingdom period, it is still quite bad in this peaceful era.

Humans need to hunt wild animals to obtain fur and meat, while orcs also need to hunt wild animals to obtain food. Conflicts arise between the two, and in the eyes of the orcs, humans are the first to offend and are despicable poachers.

There are clear divisions of hunting areas between orc tribes. Even if they want to rob, they will openly challenge and defeat the owner of the hunting area.

But orcs also poach livestock domesticated by humans. Humans chase and condemn them, but orcs think that it is an unmarked hunting area and their hunting is reasonable. The most important thing is that they do not hunt humans and strictly abide by the ancient law of the jungle.

Regarding the issue of single hunting areas, there has never been a solution acceptable to both humans and orcs.

Some kings and lords are willing to accept the culture of orc hunting areas. They will put up fences to enclose the orc hunting areas and even put up warning signs to inform which type of orc hunting area this is.

But this action offended the orcs. In the eyes of the orcs, this was keeping them in captivity, and they were not livestock.

Of course, humans abide by the rules of the orcs and mark hunting areas, and the orcs will also abide by them, but humans do not have that function. This is the biggest gap between different races, or to be more precise, between humans and other races.

Humans mark their territory by planting flags, marking on maps, and building boundary markers, but other species determine their territory by [feeling].

This feeling is also divided into two levels. The general level is the sense of smell. The owner of the territory will patrol and then deliberately leave his own scent at the border to declare ownership.

The other is a higher level, beyond smell, into aura. A simple example is a regional overlord, they don't need to patrol everywhere to determine their territory, they just need to stay where they are.

Their power will produce a certain aura. The stronger the power, the larger the coverage of the aura. If the aura collides with the aura, a battle between regional overlords will occur.

Covering territory with aura and marking territory with scent are both ways of defining territory, but aura and scent do not conflict.

The regional overlords who can generate aura do not care about the so-called territory, and the creatures who can only mark the territory with smell are also quite self-conscious. They can keenly feel the aura, so they tacitly submit to the regional overlord.

Occasionally, some individuals will experience breakthrough growth and challenge the regional hegemon.

But humans do not have such a keen sense of smell, and their nerves are particularly weak. They cannot feel the subtle aura and are fundamentally unable to integrate into the customs of other races.

"But recently the conflicts between us and the orcs have eased a lot, and the cases of livestock attacks have almost dropped to zero." Herbie scratched Blaze, but Blaze touched the back of his head with a confused look on his face.

"It's eased a lot in the last year." Herbie had to emphasize the time.

"Ah? Oh! Is that it?" Blaze suddenly realized. He almost forgot that as a third-generation lion, he seemed to have something more vague and abstract than aura. The old lion had warned him before not to enter the Eternal Kingdom and the Holy Cross Kingdom without permission, as it would cause trouble. This was indeed the case. As soon as he stepped in, the devil Paine awakened.

He used to pay a little more attention to it, but nothing like this has happened recently, so he forgot about it.

By the way, there is a group of female lions around the Midsummer Galaxy. This reminded him that he should find time to go and take a look.

"So let me touch it more and try to get more flavor!"

Herbie jumped up, hugged Blaze's upper body and rubbed Blaze's head hard, as if he really wanted to cover it with the so-called "smell".

"Hey! I take cleanliness very seriously. I didn't neglect it even during the days when I couldn't take off my armor. Don't accuse me of having any smell!"

"Wow, I just got here and saw such an exciting scene."

Kullene poked his head out from the corner with a sly look on his face, but his smile soon froze.

As soon as he showed up, Herbie and Blaze stopped playing and just stared at him, which frightened him.

"Then I won't disturb you."

"Wait." Blaze immediately reached out to stop Kulene. Now that this old guy, who could be called a living knowledge base, had appeared, there was no reason not to extract something from his brain.

Moreover, Kullene would not just appear in a place randomly. Even if she seemed to be just passing by, she must have some purpose.

Sometimes the appearance of Cyrene can be taken as a sign that something big is about to happen.

"You are such an old guy, why don't you find a chair to bask in the sun?"

Blaze slammed his hand next to Kullene's head, which was a protest that Kullene's appearance must mean that things are not that simple.

"Former [Hermes's Traveling Hat], the highest decision-maker, why didn't you show up earlier? Now is the time when the Chamber of Commerce is in danger. Hurry up and make use of your remaining energy!"

Hebi clapped his hand beside Kulene's elbow, which meant that he welcomed Kulene's arrival and hoped that he would show his value as soon as possible.

“If you two want to play the good cop and the bad cop, why don’t you rehearse it in advance?” Kullene rolled her eyes vigorously and crossed her arms across her chest, using her silence to express her determination to be soft and not hard.

"You have such a bad attitude, I am only willing to answer three questions from you now!"

Blaze and Herbie immediately turned around and started whispering, trying to figure out how to maximize the value of the three questions, and they just didn't notice that Kullene had one eye open, a look that suggested that she would only cooperate if she was flattered.

"The first question is the difference between mermaids and sirens."

"Deep-water fish and shallow-water fish."
