Chapter 51 Tribal Courage
Yulian is 20 years old. From the time he invented the galley to now, four years have passed in the pixel world.
The leader opposite him walked away with a ghost symbol suspended above his head, which meant that the old man's life had reached the end.
"I want to take it apart," Yulian insisted.
The old man was silent for a long time before replying: "That is a [gift] from the gods."
"Those who blaspheme will be killed by thunder and lightning from heaven."
"..."
A lightbulb popped up above Yulian's head: "Can we secretly open a few pages?"
"Sacrilege is blasphemy! Breaking a page is blasphemy!"
The old leader said angrily: "Do you think gods can bargain!?"
"Then it's better to dismantle everything."
Yulian's answer not only surprised the old man, but also Lu Yao who was in front of the screen.
This young man has always been afraid of being struck by Lu Yao's thunder. The reason is that he spends all his energy building ships and rarely worships gods.
Yulian felt very guilty for this, and he often suspected that God might find a time to shock him.
However, at this time, Yulian was very determined.
He explained to the old leader: "Leader Shah Khan once wrote the first book "A Brief History of the Tribe". But it required a lot of sheepskin, and there was not much text that could be written. It was thick and heavy."
"But this book gifted by God is light and clear, and you can write a lot of words on it."
"The gods must know that we cannot understand the words of the gods, and even the smartest leader Morimi cannot understand them at all. The material of this kind of book may be the treasure given to the tribe by the gods."
The young man actively lobbied: "I have smelled it. The smell of the divine book is a bit like the dried feces of grazing animals, and it also smells like plant ash. And it is not indestructible. It looks very thin and fragile."
"If you soak them in water, you can see what they originally looked like."
"I think it's either made of dried dung, or made of grass and bark..."
The old leader interrupted the young man: "What if not? If you think wrong, God's will is not like this. What do you think will happen?"
An exclamation mark appeared above Yulian's head, and then his body trembled, as if he thought of the fate of being struck by lightning.
However, his speech was different from his physical reaction: "If I am wrong, I am willing to accept the punishment of God. I did these things alone."
"You will be killed by thunder and turn into black ashes." The old leader emphasized.
"I know."
"Even so, do you still want to open the divine book?"
"want!"
Yulian showed the stubbornness and spirit of young people: "This book is of great significance to the tribe. If we can obtain the technology to make this kind of book, we can spread the book to every place the tribe has traveled like a galley. ”
"It would be a more important tool than the galley."
"The knowledge and skills mastered by the tribe can be passed down through a book like this. Unlike oral accounts, there will always be omissions and defects. It is a monument that everyone can own!"
The old leader said: "You can't do this."
"You are too young. Just destroying the gods' gifts is enough to prevent you from living in the tribe. Even if the gods forgive you, your fellow tribesmen will not forgive you. Every time they encounter a disaster in the future, they will blame you."
"..."
A sad look appeared on Yulian's head.
"so."
The old leader said: "I will do this."
An exclamation mark appeared on Yulian's head.
"You are still young, and you made an amazing galley. All of us know that you will become an outstanding leader in the future and lead the tribe forward."
"However, it is too early for you to do this kind of thing. This kind of dangerous thing that has never been done before, I still have to do it."
"I once arrogantly hunted down cave monsters, causing the death of headhunters and hunters. I also accepted cave monsters, and was opposed and cursed by everyone...I am no longer afraid of these exceptions."
"I won't live much longer. If the gods blame me, just punish me with thunder and lightning."
"The tribal people are much more tolerant of a person who is nearing the end of his life."
Yulian said: "But..."
"That's it! I'll take it apart, and I'll do it as you tell me. I hope you can bring the tribe a new galley."
Finally, Yulian bowed to the old man.
"Thank you, leader."
The old man walked all the way into the temple, had a private conversation with the astrologer Shahan inside, and took the green book from the [Gift] slot.
He took the book all the way to the monument. Seeing this, other pixel villains followed, and soon a large group of people gathered.
"Everyone in the tribe, listen to me."
The gray-haired leader said: "This is a gift from the gods and the hope of the future of the tribe."
"But we were all wrong before."
"God does not ask us to understand God's words above. It is a power that we cannot possibly know, nor can we touch God's boundless wisdom."
"This book recording the divine inscriptions is the treasure given to us by the gods."
"...So, I am going to open this book and restore the white sheets on each page to their true appearance! Of course, before that, I have asked Shahan to copy all the words in the sacred book. "
Upon hearing the announcement from leader Yu Zai, the Garlic Tribe immediately exploded.
"Objection, object!"
"God's gift is sacred and cannot be destroyed!"
"Leader Yuzou, you are blaspheming! Do you want to be punished by the lightning of God? Do you want the whole tribe to be punished by God!"
"Danger, danger, extremely dangerous!"
"Leader, are you crazy? Terrible, too terrible."
Even the respected hero Yuzou, who said he wanted to open the gift of God, was questioned and opposed by the tribe members.
At this critical moment, the cave wizard Senjian stood up and supported Yuzou.
"Quiet down, quiet down."
The wizard holding a bone staff and wearing a stone mask said: "God is omnipotent. I think no one will question this, right?"
Everyone was silent.
"If that's the case. God is omnipotent and omniscient, then the great and benevolent Yao God must know that we, who are small and ignorant, cannot understand the profound divine words in the divine book."
"So, why did Yao God give us this profound treasure?"
With just a few words, the wizard took the right to speak.
He continued: "We use water and soil to grow food, cut wood to build houses, harvest wool to weave clothes."
"We ride camels into forests and deserts, we build boats to walk on water, and we have done things that our ancestors could not imagine in the past."
"All of this comes from God's love for the world. God Yao protects each of us."
"God Yao knows us better than we know ourselves."
"He knows our weakness and ignorance, sees through our fears and expectations, and witnesses our hard work and failures."
"This divine book is God Yao's reward and test for us."
"In the past, The tribe was once punished by heavy rain and hurricanes. You should not have forgotten it, right? God Yao hates laziness and slackness. God Yao has always hoped that our people can flourish like a dense forest, not afraid of wind and rain. "
"If we put this sacred book in the temple, it can't play any role. What's the difference between that and slackness? "
"Slackness and arrogance will make God Yao bring down the wrath of thunder!"
The cave wizard looked at the people around him: "So, who else thinks that we shouldn't take action and make good use of the gift of God?"
The pixel people of the garlic tribe were silent.
Even Lu Yao in front of the screen couldn't help but sigh.
Wonderful sermon.
Wizard Sen Jian is worthy of leading the cave monsters for many years. The wisdom of LV4 is indeed very useful.
In terms of wisdom, Yuzou is a little worse.
But Yuzou's courage to try boldly and the courage to open up a precedent are what the tribal leaders have never had before.
