Chapter 1403 Cliff Jumping Civilization Eredar

"The Supreme Wizard of Infinity ()"

When Legion returned to the world of Azeroth, Velen, the leader of Draenei, experienced two events that seriously affected the three views and cognition.

The first was the death of Zela. Zela is the first naaru of the Warcraft universe, and also a primitive god-level life born in the prehistoric era of the Warcraft universe.

If the star gods headed by Aman'Thul represent the law of order and the power of arcane magic, then Zela represents the law of light and the power of holy light.

Although light does not equal absolute justice, light has a great affinity with most creatures in the material universe. After all, stars are the most common embodiment of light.

Zela appeared during the Legion's Second Coming, desperately cleaning Illidan, calling him the Son of Light and Darkness who decides the future destiny of the universe.

However, Zela talked to Illidan about good and evil, and Illidan talked to Zela about the bondage of freedom.

In the end, Illidan, the action faction, killed Zela directly. The reason was that Zela's way of the Holy Light was too high-level, as if the Holy Light of freedom was the only right way, and the others were evil ways. As the representative of the Holy Light, he , equal to right and justice.

The second thing that touched Velen greatly was that when he led the eredar who were unwilling to serve the Burning Legion to escape from their hometown of Argus, he failed to save his relatives in time. As a result, Kil'jaeden managed to disgust him during Legion's Ascension.

Kil'jaeden dispatched a demonized eredar general named 'Lakish' to raid the base camp of the draenei in Azeroth. It was also the escaped spaceship that year, and the eredar was severely damaged. .

Lakish's main purpose was to take out the eredar's core, one of Zera's sons. The Eredar is powered by the Holy Light, and the naaru plays an important role, not only representing the Holy Light that the Draenei believe in, but also the source of power.

In the end, Lakish drove the fel mech to destroy the naaru, but was also killed by Velen, and the diehard fanatic of the Legion whose name means "butcher" in Eredar was the one Velen failed to save in the past. dear son.

At the end of this father-son scene, Velen said: "The Holy Light died at this moment."

This meant that he could no longer believe in Zela's way of the Holy Light devoutly.

The holy light is power, and the way of the holy light is faith. They are two concepts in theory, but in the universe of Warcraft, Naru, led by Zela, spread the power of the holy light, so many intelligent life forms naturally Think of the two as one.

From ignorance, to longing, to belief, to abandonment.

In Kane's eyes, from the Creator's perspective, the draenei represented by Velen are just a bunch of selfish bastards. Their attitude towards the Holy Light is no more noble than that of ordinary people towards toilet paper , When you need it, you are the father, and when you don't need it, you are the younger brother.

The magic civilization of the eredar people is only tens of thousands of years old, and some eredar people did not want to recognize Sargeras as a wild father when they walked on the path of the holy light started. Including all the time when the Draenei were exiled to the Draenor continent and later to Azeroth, it was only a thousand years.

A thousand years, not to mention from the perspective of the Creator, even from the perspective of the long lifespan of the Eredar people, it is not a long time, which is about seven or eight years for a human being who is sixty years old. Even the most golden seven or eight years are just a farce like the seven-year itch. The fanaticism and piety in the past are like vows and honey before and after the conclusion of marriage, but now they are numb, tired, and can no longer tolerate Waiting for the other party to remember all the good things in the past, but they have long since lost their warmth, which is far from enough to offset the various bad things that have been scrutinized...

This is the eredar people, or in other words, this is the commonality that most intelligent races have. When they are in love, their shortcomings can also become naughty and cute, and when they are disgusted, they can see whatever is not pleasing to the eye.

Although the way of the Holy Light represented by Zela is not perfect, because as long as self-awareness is born, subjective concepts will inevitably arise,

It is impossible for the Dao born under the subjective influence of A to be fully applicable to B, otherwise why should there be a distinction between A and B?

And Naru is one of the creatures born in the prehistoric era of the Warcraft universe. He is like a person who has already formed three views. Even if he is fine-tuned with the evolution of the universe, the core will not change greatly. This core, It is far more stable than human nature. Especially for short-lived beings, it is okay to say that Naaru's way of holy light is constant and inconvenient, just like stars in the perspective of ordinary people. Then, from fans to abandoners, it is clear at a glance who is changing, who is popular for three minutes, and who cannot stand the test of time.

This is the 'show point', with a strong utilitarian taste of Sheng Mien and Dou Michou. From this perspective, the so-called belief is nothing but a passionate emotion like love, impulsive, or even confused.

Although human belief, there is no shortage of examples of confusion for a lifetime. But that's because life is short, and there are dozens of cold and heat in a hurry. Among them, it takes about one-third of the time just to mature the mind.

Therefore, those who have been devout for a lifetime are actually completely regarded as another version of the glorious moment falling, thus marking an unfalsifiable full stop. In fact, highs are often accompanied by lows. Draenei's lifespan is relatively long, and as a result, this kind of belief curve is deduced. Velen, who was once steadfast, is the embodiment of the Holy Light among the Draenei, like the Pope. The characters are not guaranteed at the end of the festival, and if they believe it, they will not believe it.

No matter how many objective reasons there are, they cannot cover up the actual results.

Of course, time continues to stretch, and maybe I will believe again after a while. This is also another manifestation of the 'watch'. Believe it or not, it does not depend on its own value, but on whether it is useful to me.

Kane, who has this kind of thinking, is naturally very interested in learning how the draenei who no longer believe in the way of the holy light and only use the holy light as a tool are doing now.

In other words, after abandoning the way of the Holy Light, how did the Draenei rely on to satisfy their spiritual needs.

The result did not exceed his expectations by much.

In Argus, he met the draenei who had returned from the extreme to the moderate. If the Path of the Holy Light in the past was a positive extreme, then the current Draenei have lost the group style with a considerable degree of the characteristics of the Holy Mother and a strong sense of mission in the past, and frankly show their utilitarian nature.

Kane does not think that utilitarianism is wrong, or that it is superficial to evaluate utilitarianism with right or wrong. After all, the essence of utilitarianism is selfishness, and the essence of the birth of individual self-consciousness is selfishness, so utilitarianism is really one of the natures of individual life .

Therefore, negating or belittling utilitarianism is more like an act of being kidnapped by morality, which is not fair and objective enough. In Kane's view, grasping the 'speed' of utilitarianism is the key. As he has always advocated, it is wrong to lean left or right in the middle of the road.

Perhaps because of the principle that the greater the force, the greater the force of the rebound, the current draenei society presented to Kane has a darker atmosphere, just like a magical version of Gotham City, with favoritism, fraud, and bribery Accepting bribes is an unspoken rule. He even easily opened a channel through energy currency and contacted the demonized eredar of the Burning Legion.

The draenei and the demonized eredar were haggling behind the scenes, and then came to the front desk to kill him, a fool with a lot of money. This series of interpretations reminded Kane of his hometown. , the human society represented by the five hooligans also has such an intricate and complicated relationship. Today, they are friends who hold hands to make a fortune together, and tomorrow they will become enemies who will not tear each other and feel uncomfortable, and they will sing a song the day after tomorrow. Let's paddle together……

The draenei have changed, and so have the demonized eredar.

When Sargeras led them, terror and fanaticism were their social labels.

When the three giants capsized one after another, when they were stuck in their own quagmire, bullying and arrogance were their social labels.

However, in the late stage of Legion's Second Coming, the Azeroth coalition forces broke through the base camp in one go, and the organizational structure was severely damaged and became a mess. They lost the tyranny of the intelligent race that crushed other planets at will, and their arrogance was quickly taught again and again. The reality of being a human being is blown away.

As someone said: When the cost of aggression is low and the profits are high, everyone is an aggressor.

Conversely, the same holds true. Today's Burning Legion, it is more appropriate to call it the Legion of Ashes. What Kane sees is the ethos of salted fish. Of course, there is still some warmth buried in the ashes. Even if it is old, the legacy of the Burning Legion can still be maintained. For a long time, they have been strong positions. After all, they originally represented the top combat power of the Warcraft Universe.

It was easier than expected. The Demonized Eredars sold a bunch of fel warships to Kane with the generosity of Lao Mao's crazy sale of state-owned assets after his disintegration.

From a certain point of view, these fel warships are actually the crystallization of high-end extraordinary technology, easy to control, and ultra-low maintenance requirements... From the moment they are manufactured, they are full of ancient and vicissitudes of life. It's like a granite castle eroded by the years, but now, after a thousand years, they are still like that, and have not become more dilapidated.

However, just like high-tech products, fel battleships are like fragile porcelain, very delicate.

Since the core of the Burning Legion was disintegrated, its technology has been declining. For these fel battleships, they were initially unusable, and now they are completely impossible to build.

Although many demonized eredar from the glorious era of the Burning Legion are still alive today, their craftsmanship is seriously rusty, mainly because the large-scale labor of building battleships can no longer be reproduced, and there are no qualified organizers and managers. There is also a lack of impetus to engage in such large projects.

Moreover, due to the idealistic nature of magical civilization, its ups and downs are far greater than that of technological civilization. Taking the manufacturing of warships as an example, the construction of starships by a technological civilization is simply a comprehensive verification of civilization's heavy industry. From the size of the ship's hull to the smallness of the screws, it will not work if any level is not up to standard.

Magical civilization is not like this. To build a starship, it only needs to assign several large categories to different teams, and finally assemble it to complete.

But it requires a high level of technical prowess from the team members.

To put it bluntly, the materialistic civilization is stronger in the system, and the idealistic civilization is stronger in the individual. Therefore, after the Burning Legion was almost collectively wiped out on the first-rate BOSS layer, it is not difficult to understand that the overall technical level dropped rapidly.

In addition, since the establishment of the Burning Legion, the lower limit of virtue was relatively low, so even after the salty fish turned into a bunch of scum, it was just that the madness of not taking their own lives seriously was missing. It's no longer completely inaccessible to others, but has become more auspicious and avoids evil.

The demonized Eredars who were doing business with Kane jingled their little abacus. They worked hard behind the scenes to make the fel battleship barely move, and then sold it to Kane, waiting to see a joke.

In their view, Kane has no way to drive these ships out of Argus. In this way, they also earn money, but the goods are equivalent to no payment. Taking a step back, as long as these fel battleships are still in Argus, they are not considered reselling legion assets, but just changing them to a parking spot. Even if they are pursued, it is easy to prevaricate. A little bit of expenses, most of them can fall into their own pockets.

Then Kane just waved his hand, and dozens of fel battleships were erased from the environmental screen like pencil drawings with an eraser.

The demonized eredar were collectively silent. The final selling price of the battleship was based on the premise that Kane could not take it away for promotion purposes. Now Kane uses the super space pocket of the gods to take one of them away, and they are the ones who lose.

In the past, if such a thing happened, 90% of these guys would turn their backs on the spot. Either Kane would make up a large sum of money, or just do it, and the winner would win everything.

But now, they have counseled a lot, and they are able to calmly analyze and assess the situation better.

The means Kane showed before made them realize that Kane came here this time, obviously holding a diamond in his hand, so he took the porcelain job. It was only Kane who could pretend, and they didn't know people well, so they couldn't identify them in time. break.

Of course, driven by huge interests, they are not willing to let Kane go. So they tacitly showed enthusiasm several times higher than before, like running a train frantically in their mouths smeared with honey, and selling other products to Kane, such as excellent ship operators, maintenance personnel, and people with rich war experience. Marine Corps etc.

The core purpose of these demonized Eredars is very unified, which is to stabilize Kane first, and as long as they are given some time, they can add reliable follow-up methods, including using force.

Seeing such demonized eredar, Kane showed a contemptuous smile. He knew that the Burning Legion was really over. After several generations, the society formed by these guys would degenerate to the level of ruthlessness and blood, and he would not Surprised.

"I originally planned to give you more energy currency so that you can continue to waste. Now it seems that there is no need for that. From the perspective of civilization, you are already rotten, so it is worth the price." Kane thought so, and left Argus with a teleportation, without taking a second look.

The once top-notch Eredar magic civilization is really over. After being stimulated successively by a drug called Sargeras and a stimulant called Holy Light Vinylon, this civilization flourished and declined, and fell precipitously to the current situation, where it no longer has the possibility of making troubles.

This is another reason why Kane is willing to visit Argus himself. The reason why the Burning Legion is powerful is that the Eredars are the middle and high-level organizational framework, which is the real core. This is why the Burning Legion can still march eastward in the absence of Sargeras and even Archimonde and Kil'jaeden West discussion, the main reason for plundering one planet after another of life.

Leaving aside the demonized eredar of the order and evil camp, whether it is the abyss lords or the Doom Guard, Morgo, Shivarra, and Nathrezim, they are all from the chaotic evil camp. In Kane's eyes, without order, there is no ability to initiate large-scale industrial manufacturing, so there is nothing to fear.

The Burning Legion has lost the qualification to participate in the big events of the new era, so this skin can be borrowed thoroughly and comfortably.
