Chapter 1171 Cassius Tells a Story
"If everything is as you say, then the savages exist because of the name Bulkesso?"
Rorschach asked directly.
"Yes, this is the only question I can give you an accurate answer to.
Because of Bulkesso, there are barbarians.
There have always been many warrior Nephalem, but we are the only barbarians.
While I don't know the specifics of the other Nephalem factions, for the barbarians this is the truth. "
Cassius was very calm.
Rorschach was surprised by this calmness, but he didn't express anything special.
"I am becoming more and more satisfied with your performance. If you continue to ask impatiently, I will doubt Bulcasso's vision.
This kind of thing is simply not worth worrying about. "
Cassius nodded.
At the beginning, he thought that Sonya was more suitable for such intense training!
Moreover, Sonya has already possessed a considerable degree of strength, so it won’t take much time to learn the skills of these ancestor spirits!
Sonya's talent is very outstanding among the barbarians.
It was even considered that she was more suitable to be a mage.
Cassius now saw something worthy of recognition in Rorschach, so he showed satisfaction.
"Then should you tell me something I need to know at this time?"
Rorschach asked.
He still maintained a considerable distance from Cassius.
A little caution isn't a bad thing, and no one likes getting punched in the back of the head when they let their guard down.
Although most people's physical strength is not enough to support them from standing still after suffering such an attack.
"Well, where to start?
If the Holy Mountain of Arreat was still there, these things should have been told to you by the elders.
It can even be said that if Malthael had not turned most of the barbarians into ashes, it would not be my turn to tell you these things. "
Cassius tugged at his braided beard.
It can be seen that he is a little distressed now.
This kind of thing is much more troublesome for Cassius than teaching Rorschach fighting skills.
"Let's start with what I've heard about Bulcasso."
Cassius hesitated, and his hesitation was very obvious.
Rorschach could even see the hesitation in Cassius's eyes.
"If what you said before is not important, you shouldn't need to hesitate about this matter."
Rorschach hesitated slightly when raising this question.
He looked at Cassius seriously, as if he wanted to get more information from this ancestor who had turned into an immortal monster.
"Now, listen to me quietly.
Or I knock you to the ground and sit on your back, unable to get up, and tell you bit by bit. "
Cassius rolled his eyes at Rorschach.
Rorschach made a gesture of pulling up the zipper on his mouth, indicating that he would no longer speak.
If it was the former Rorschach, he would not have acted like this.
Now Rorschach has more or less gotten out of the state where he had to risk his life because he was weak.
"Why don't you go ask that guy from Hailab? He might be able to tell these things better than me."
Cassius took a deep breath and said this.
These words made Luo Xia's body burn with anger!
Being teased obviously doesn't feel good.
Cassius smiled and then stroked his beard.
Then he started telling this story.
“In the beginning, it cannot be said that the barbarians and the first generation ancestors were all blood descendants of the first generation ancestors.
This kind of thing is actually not that difficult to understand.
After all, the first generation ancestors also slipped through the net when they followed Lilith to kill all the angels and demons in Sanctuary.
Of course there are strong ones among these guys, such as Rasma’s mentor Tageo.
Tageo is not the child of Lilith and Inarius.
He was born a little earlier than the first Nephalem in a broad sense.
Of course, the first generation of Nephalem were not multiples.
They were born first and last.
At least the first ancestor of the barbarians was the oldest one, and when the first ancestor was born, Tageo was already a well-known mage.
The age gap between the original Nephalem was actually quite large.
If today's barbarians are used as an example, then the age gap between the first ancestors and Rasma is like the feeling between Volusk and Burqessor.
They are very familiar with each other, but they are indeed people from two eras.
The original barbarian tribes were not called barbarians at that time.
Those people were the Nephalem who had long followed the first ancestors and Vasily, and naturally formed the first appearance of the tribe.
Vasily taught many people the ways of becoming druids.
The first generation ancestor also had his own child at that time, namely Orek.
Although Orek did not become a barbarian, that was because there was no such thing as a barbarian when Orek was born.
Even things like the barbarian's fighting skills haven't even become a prototype yet.
But just as the archangels feared, the mortal hearts of the Nephalem would change.
What led to the emergence of barbarians and druids was the separation of the first ancestor and Vasily.
The two brothers each took a part of their followers, and then gradually became two schools of barbarians and druids.
And it was at that time that the name "Bul-Katho" began to have power!
Because the first ancestor told his followers his name very seriously for the first time.
And this name "Bul-Katho" naturally became the origin of the barbarians.
The process was so simple, but there were many interesting things in it. "
Cassius coughed deliberately when he said this.
Rorschach looked at Cassius with some doubt.
He only saw the faint smile on Cassius's face.
The story Cassius told was not very attractive.
But Rorschach was looking forward to the content of this story.
Because it was his chance to deepen his understanding of the barbarians!
Rorschach is still the same Rorschach, he just became stronger!
Rorschach still has a fanatical obsession with the truth of the matter.
What he cares about, perhaps in addition to the justice he insists on, is the truth.
It is also possible that the truth itself is part of the justice he pursues.
"I'm thirsty. Now that I have a body, I especially want to eat or drink something.
Although my body cannot be considered a living person, at least I can feel full.
That is a very distant memory for me. "
Cassius didn't play tricks.
He was too lazy to play these tricks with a guy like Rorschach who was so serious.
People who can't take a joke may just be too serious.
And Rorschach may be the most serious of these serious people.
So Cassius directly pointed out his desire to drink and eat meat.
If you want to hear a story, you have to pay something.
Cassius didn't think his behavior was shameful at all.
He didn't care, he just felt that he needed some wine and snacks when he told the story.
He knew that Rorschach had a There must be food, although Rorschach is not an alcoholic.
But Rorschach would drink occasionally.
He just wouldn't let himself get drunk.
Rorschach took a deep breath and took out some food from his backpack.
The food was not very delicious, but it was more than enough to fill his stomach.
At least the food was not worse than the black bread that Bulkaiso had accumulated.
Cassius took a sip of wine and stuffed a piece of steak that had been there for who knows how long into his mouth.
Then he continued with a satisfied smile.
"When a name becomes a kind of origin, it will have power.
This is probably why those archangels need a name.
After all, at that time they could call each other "hope", "wisdom" or "courage".
But they never did that.
In contrast, the same is true for demons.
I don't know when a name started to have power.
It's just that this power will not jump out to help you when you are fighting.
But one thing is that as long as a name is still being passed down, this power will always exist.
When Helabor gave him the name "Bul-Kathos", there might be some reasons that I don't know.
That's why I said you should ask Helabor about these things. "
Cassius paused again when he said this.
He took a gulp of wine and then put another piece of steak in his mouth.
"Anyway, it's just like what you know later.
When Mount Arreat exploded, Bul-Kathos was dragged outside by the demons.
When he returned to Mount Arreat, um, it was already the Arreat Pit at that time.
He spent a very long time cleaning up the demons around.
Then he took Kalju and Kor, who were also survivors, to start the road to rebuilding the holy mountain.
By the way, you'd better not think that Kalju is of the same generation as Bul-Kathos, he is much older.
It's just that he is too strong, or too lucky.
That's why he died on the way to build Mount Harrogath.
If you want to find a barbarian who has lived long enough, then Kalju must be on this list. "
Cassius's topic went a little off the topic, but Rorschach didn't mean to remind him.
People who listen to stories always have to be patient.
And this is not a story that everyone is familiar with, every part of it is unfamiliar.
Although Cassius's way of telling the story may not be very interesting.
But Rorschach didn't stay here just to listen to an interesting story.
"The reason why Burkeso was able to rebuild a holy mountain for the barbarians was not only because he was strong enough.
It was not only because the few remaining barbarians believed in him.
You should be able to understand this. It is not easy to trust others unconditionally.
It can even be said to be very difficult. "
Cassius shook his head.
It seemed that he felt heavy about the topic of "trust".
"The most fundamental reason why he was able to do this, in addition to the fact that he was already very powerful at the time, was because of this name.
You will remember that the barbarians occasionally shouted 'Bulkessor protects me' when fighting.
Although most of the time this war cry is just a slogan, this unconscious war cry can also be regarded as a kind of prayer.
The object of prayer is the existence of 'Bulkess'.
The reason why the Holy Mountain can appear here is because this simple prayer made the barbarian and this name form a connection.
It also tells the homeless ancestral spirits who lost the Immortal King at that time that Bulkatho still exists!
At least that's what I feel is the case. "
Cassius smiled.
He did not get to know Bulcaisuo only after the establishment of the Holy Mountain of Harrogas.
They also existed on the Holy Mountain of Arreat, but there were still a lot of barbarians at that time.
Therefore, these ancestral spirits rarely wander around on the Holy Mountain of Arreat.
The same goes for most guys like Kahn.
"You have obviously omitted a lot of the adventure and dedication associated with Bulkeso.
But these are not the things I value most.
Since the name Bulkesso is so important, why didn't I see a lot of barbarians named Bulkesso on the Holy Mountain? "
Rorschach asked.
This is a great question!
If the name "Bulkessor" could even connect the blood and original beliefs of all barbarians.
Then Rorschach's idea is to have most of the savages be called this name.
Although the management will definitely appear chaotic, this can be regarded as diversified investment, right?
As long as there are still barbarians named "Bulkess" alive, it will be possible to rebuild the Holy Mountain with this name!
In this way, wouldn't the barbarians not have to worry about being cut off?
"Will you call your name in battle?"
Cassius asked somewhat strangely.
Rorschach shook his head!
Of course he would not shout "Rorschach protect me" during the battle.
"Since you don't know how to do it, why do you think that the name 'Bulkasso' can be used casually by others?"
Cassius said mockingly.
"Rorschach, when someone calls you, you hear and then you see the person calling you.
What about ten people calling you at the same time? What about a hundred people? Or even thousands, and then to people you can’t even count? "
Cassius said.
"I believe your will is strong enough, but I don't believe you can identify those who really need your help among the countless voices calling you.
The same goes for Bulkesso.
Although what we know is that Bulkesso fought with Hailab for a long time in order to get a new name.
But I'm more convinced that they spent that time not with Bulqasso beating Hyrab.
It's that Bulcasso was undergoing some kind of test, and he just succeeded in the end. "
Cassius said his guess!
Some things may be different from the truth even if they are told by the person who has experienced them personally!
After all, people are always good at processing a little bit in the process of reporting.
Whether it’s to make it more beneficial to you or to add more storytelling to what he says!
Cassius is a barbarian who likes to doubt, but he never turns his doubts into questions.
He doesn't like to talk about these things, he just thinks about them in his heart.
"Are these the truth?"
Rorschach asked.
"If you want the truth, you should call Bulcasso and Hailab together to ask about what happened back then.
Then judge the truth from their two expressions that may be almost identical. "
Cassius put the empty jar aside and ate the last piece of steak.
"Rorschach, is the story I told the truth?
Don’t you want to wonder if I processed something?
If I heard a story like this, I would definitely ask for some details.
The more details there are, the harder it is to hide a lie. "
Cassius took a deep look at Rorschach, and he seemed to say a lot.
But none of it is stated explicitly.
Even though he seemed to be telling a story he knew without reservation!
