The old man smiled happily, his smile was full of relief and hope, and there was no trace of gloom, but Hao Ren and the others couldn't understand where this other party's reassuring mood came from.Vivien stared at the old man's eyes to make sure that the other party was sane: "You......
Do you really know what their situation is now?
It's true that they still speak the old language, and perhaps still retain most of the written language, but beyond that they don't know anything, they don't know anything, they don't have history, they don't have culture, they don't have traditions, and the inheritance of civilization has long been broken – with all due respect, these people are just living in ignorance in this ruin. ”Vivien was not polite when she said this, she had seen the rise and fall of dynasties and the survival of races, and at this moment she was only stating the facts as a bystander.However, the old man was unmoved, he just listened to Vivien silently, his sparse and messy white hair fluttering slowly in the breeze: "You know, I have envisioned a worse situation. ”He turned his head and looked at it, "I used to deal with a group of children, only a few were over ten years old, most of them were between three and nine years old, they only had basic common sense of life, the older children could take care of themselves and read and write, the younger children had just learned to eat on their own, my mission was to lead such a group of children to rebuild the whole civilization, a burden that was almost desperate, but I gladly accepted it."
And these ......
They are always better than children. ”"Their thinking is rigid, their order is chaotic, the rules of society have been distorted for hundreds of years, and the wrong worldview has been ingrained," Vivien shook her head slightly, "Such adults are not as good as those ......children back then" "But they have survived here," the old man unceremoniously interrupted Vivian, "With no one to lead, those children survived, and even multiplied into four kingdoms!"
Four Kingdoms!
They have already done more than they could have imagined, what more could they ask for?
”At this time, the brave man at the head found Hao Ren and his party standing near the outer ring of the ancestral furnace, and I don't know who shouted first, and then more people looked up.Those who had previously witnessed the power of the "Ice Witch" and the "Fire Witch" began to make a noise, spreading the slogan "Inquisitor of Ice and Fire" into a wave that spread rapidly through the crowd.These people, who had just felt the great impact of the "miracle" of the restart of the ancestral furnace, fell to their knees in unison as if they had witnessed the presence of the true god himself, and sang in unison the end of the winter.Perhaps there were doubts about this event before, but now that the Ancestral Furnace is back in operation, and the "Electric Elves" are more active than ever, such a miracle has dispelled everyone's doubts that in this ark ruled by ignorance and ignorance, as long as someone can control the operation of the generator, it will choke the throat of the world."
Landlord ......"
Lily was clawed by flames, but at this time, she should be drilling behind Hao Ren.However, Hao Ren frowned, and reached out to nudge Lily and Vivien's backs: "Come forward, this situation is just right for you." ”Vivi understands with peace of mind, and she has a lot of experience with it.This ancient blood clan, who had been worshipped as a god by the earthlings more than once, took a step forward, surrounded by a cold wind, and her face faded from the usual gentle smile, and turned to majesty and cold, as intimidating as a real "ice witch".Lily is also trying to do the same, this husky girl is quite talented: in fact, every husky is quite talented when pretending to be serious, and if you don't believe it, you can go to a husky to observe, and when they don't speak, just see if the look is particularly serious......
"Quiet." ”Vivien said two words simply, and the crowd below fell silent."
What are your plans, after seeing the current situation here?"
Hao Ren took advantage of this time to ask the old man around him.The old man looked down at the manuscripts that Lily had placed on the ground, and finally there was some frustration in his voice: "I was supposed to teach these things myself, but I don't have long to live.I don't know how long you're going to stay here, and I don't know if you're willing to lend a hand......
But if possible, I hope that this knowledge will be in their hands, even if it is only a little bit passed down in the end, and our legacy will not be interrupted.Please, give them these things......"
The old man gasped heavily, his body seemed to be a little more stiff than when he had just climbed out of the sleep pod.Even if he didn't pass any instrument testing, Hao Ren could clearly feel that the vitality was flowing from the body of this old man, he almost relied on perseverance to persist until this moment, and after explaining what happened after his death, he was about to die."
Nope."
Hao Ren shook his head slightly.The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and even the Nangong brothers and sisters next to him couldn't help but show a look of shock."
You give it to them yourself, it's your job," Hao Ren reached out and grabbed a golden fruit from the crack in the space next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he still cut a piece of flesh from it, "Eat this." ”At the moment of seeing that golden fruit, Nangong May couldn't help but exhale softly: "Ahhhhh ”"There happened to be one more, Lily originally booked," Hao Ren secretly glanced at the husky who was posing with Vivien in front, "Don't remind her, she forgot about it." ”Lily, who was facing away from this side not far away, suddenly had a chill all over her body, and some kind of protective instinct made her inexplicably feel a sense of crisis, but she mistakenly took this chill as caused by Vivien's cold: "Bat, stay away from me, freeze to death!"
”The old man looked at the people in front of him inexplicably and showed a chattering look in front of a piece of fruit, and couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
”Hao Ren handed over the golden apple: "If you want to eat it, you will eat it, you are already old and dying, if I say that this is poison, will you mind?"
”The old man smiled when he heard this, and calmly took the piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth: "I don't know what you guys are thinking. ”After he swallowed the contents of his mouth, Nangong May and Hao Ren immediately carefully observed the changes in each other, because this was the first time they had seen an ordinary person eat a golden apple.And the effect of the fruit was immediately apparent: the old man's appearance changed almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, his body slowly straightened, the wear and tear of the years that had accumulated in the flesh and bones dissipated in an instant, his face was rosy again, his breathing became steady and powerful, and the wrinkles slowly faded, this scene was as if time had turned back on this person!
However, this outward "regression" did not last long, after the effect of the golden apple was over, the old man was still an old man, he was still full of gray hair, and there were some wrinkles on his face, but a powerful vitality was slowly emanating from his body, making it obvious that he had accepted some kind of transformation.Hao Ren asked the data terminal in his mind: "That's it?"
”"That's it, the effect has worked normally.""
I thought he would always revert back to his youthful appearance," Nangong May flicked his tail, "and I'm worried about what if the medicine works too well and turns people away." ”Of course, the old man also discovered the changes in his body at this time, and to be honest, everything he had experienced since he woke up to the present moment had not changed at this moment, which shocked and overwhelmed him: "This, how is this ......"
"You have been frozen by mistake for eight hundred years," Hao Ren reached out and pressed the old man's shoulder, "This is to compensate you for eight hundred years."
Now you have plenty of time to get your work done. ”The old man blinked, and finally understood the incredible change that had happened to him: "Who the hell are you?!"
”"I'll have time to explain this to you," Vivien said abruptly, "The key now is that I should say something—Hao Ren, come and think about it, I've been here for five minutes, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold the scene if I don't open my mouth." ”The crowd in the clearing below was already a little commotion at the moment, and they looked at the witch of ice and fire in awe, but because there was no divine revelation to descend, the patience of the crowd was being drained little by little.Hao Ren pulled the old man to the edge of the high ground and whispered, "You need a starting point to intervene in their society and make them have a sense of awe and obedience to you, and now we have created an opportunity for you." ”As he spoke, he held the old man's hand aloft."
Sons of the Four Kingdoms, the cold winter is over forever!
Your Ancestor has returned from the resting place of his soul, and under the witness of the gods of ice and fire, he will usher in a new era for you!
