Chapter 2409 Vegetative
Joan remembered that Mrs. Josephine said that "Green King" Orphen was born in the Walsong family in Shizhu Town, and was the elder of the Walsung brothers and sisters.
Another identity of Offen is the elder of the "primitive order", and within the order, the status of "elder" is second only to "Pope" Angel Poda.
The "Primitive Religion" is not only the elder "Green King" Orphen. Since Anahita has a close relationship with Orphen, coupled with the two details of being naked and good at manipulating plants, Joan is naturally skeptical She is also a member of the "Original Order".
If this is the case, it shows that the Volsong tribe has allied with the "primitive order".
Joan had long suspected that the incident in Grizzly Town was caused by the "primitive religious order". Later, the Walsunger family publicly declared that they were responsible for the incident, which surprised him. He thought he had guessed wrong. If the two parties had secretly formed an alliance , then it makes sense.
In fact, the "primitive religious order" is a religion that originated from the indigenous tribes of the New World. The reason why they developed a set of extreme teachings that resist modern industrial civilization is that apart from part of the beliefs inherited from the fundamentalist Druid society, it is mainly because of the crazy expansion of foreign colonists, A stress response that destroys the local original ecological environment.
Colonists from the old world regarded themselves as "civilized people" and beautified colonial expansion as "spreading civilization". ".
"Noble" is just a polite word, and it is still emphasizing "barbaric" in essence.
It's like someone complimenting you "A fool who thinks a thousand things will gain something", is this really a compliment?
It's a pity that many simple-minded aborigines were just fooled by this vile rhetoric, and they overcorrected while resisting colonialism, so that they "opposed everything the enemy admired" and "admired everything the enemy opposed".
Prompted by this mentality, many aborigines became resistant to the "modern civilization" that the colonists kept boasting. .
Little do they know that only civilization can truly defeat civilization, and advocating barbarism can never get rid of the status of being colonized and enslaved. The general direction of the struggle is deviated.
The "primitive religion" is the embodiment of the tragedy of this era.
Generally speaking, the Volsong tribe is not as extreme against modern civilization as the "primitive religion", but both sides agree on the same position on the issue of resisting foreign colonial expansion.
The Walsong tribe and the "primitive order" have a common enemy, and Orphen, the elder of the order from the Volsung family, is in the middle of the matchmaking, and the alliance is not surprising.
Joan himself is an "honorary townsman" of Shizhu Town, and has deep feelings for the Logan family, "Master Gray" and even the entire Volsong tribe. However, the "primitive order" is his sworn enemy. If his A friend who has made allies with his enemies, how should he deal with such complicated entanglements?
Joan couldn't help thinking, if one day in the future, the Walsong brothers and sisters also appeared in the camp of the primitive religious order, would he be able to be cruel and kill his friends?
This kind of problem involves moral dilemmas, such as "mother and child fell into the river at the same time, who do you choose to save"?
No matter how high a person's intellectual level and knowledge are, it is impossible to come up with a solution that is the best of both worlds and satisfies everyone.
Joan is no exception.
The more he thought about the dilemma he might face in the future, the more anxious he became. In the end, he had to force himself to focus on writing the thesis. Only work could make him forget his worries for a while.
In the early morning of August 4th, the first thing Joan got up when he woke up was to send a letter to the expedition team, asking everyone how they were doing.
Hailar's reply letter was written in a relaxed tone. After a night's rest, everyone is in good condition.
After two days of exploration, the team was close to the outskirts of Grizzly Town. Dolly flew up to the top of the tree, and through the shade of the trees, she could see the church tower that was inhabited by a large group of leaf rays. The straight-line distance was less than three miles. If there is no accident, the expedition team will be able to reach Grizzly Town before dark.
This letter reassured Joan, and he told Hailaer to go to the laboratory to do his own business.
However, what I was afraid of, the "accident" happened after all.
That afternoon, before the sun set, Joan received a letter from the expedition team, this time the sender was Audrey.
"Our experience today can only be described as 'misfortunes never come singly'." Her Royal Highness said bluntly in the letter.
"When we set off in the morning, everyone was still in high spirits. We hoped to arrive in Grizzly Town as soon as possible, and figured out the current situation of the townspeople. Unexpectedly, we were still a mile away from the town, and the hospitable Grizzly townspeople came to welcome us. .”
Seeing this, Joan couldn't help but wonder secretly.
The residents of Grizzly Town have been trapped in the green sea created by Anahita for more than half a month. During this period, they have been tortured by the curse every day, losing 4 points of strength, agility, and physical attributes. It stands to reason that the attributes should have been zeroed long ago. Turned into a plant or a fungus, how could it still have the ability to "take the initiative" to meet Audrey and his party?
Continuing to read with confusion, Joan found that Audrey and the others also had the same question, but they didn't bother to discuss this issue for the time being, because the Grizzly townspeople who appeared in front of them were too "enthusiastic" and it was simply overwhelming.
"The hound Karl was the first to notice someone approaching. Reminded by the barking of the dog, we all noticed a figure swaying in the bushes, and then a large group of people rushed out."
"Their costumes are very messy. There are soldiers in military uniforms, craftsmen and farmers. Most of them hold swords, crossbows and firearms. Some even hold a pitchfork as a weapon. The leading man is wearing a police uniform. Double-barreled shotgun, the same Mr. Sheriff we saw in Grizzly last spring, whose name seems to be Dixie."
"This group of people looked like a group of refugees at first glance. At first we thought they were survivors who escaped from Grizzly Town. We were very pleasantly surprised. Holden waved his hand to Sergeant Dixie excitedly, but we didn't expect to respond with yes A gunshot!"
"Poor Holden was shot in the shoulder by Sheriff Dixie and fell on his back in the bushes bleeding profusely."
"I hurriedly stopped the bleeding and healed his wounds, and in a hurry, I heard Hailaer yelling 'don't get me wrong', 'we are a search and rescue team' and so on. It was only when they were shot that they had to give up their explanations and were forced to fight back."
