Chapter 2813: Eternal Snake Emblem
While Angel was remembering the mural, the wise master had already arrived at the center of the room.
He sat directly on the floor.
"We've almost talked about the murals. Now we can talk about the eternal snake emblem you mentioned, and those... origin worshippers you are concerned about."
Angel also came to the opposite side of the Wise Lord. He originally wanted to make an illusion chair to sit on, but the Wise Lord always sat on the ground, and he was too embarrassed to be in a high position. He could only follow the example of the wise ruler and sit cross-legged on the ground.
"Let's talk about the eternal snake emblem first." The wise man ruled: "Before we talk about the topic, I want to ask you, why do you think the eternal snake emblem is a snake wrapped around a cone?"
Angel didn't answer and asked instead: "Has the wise master ever heard of the Kulakuka tribe?"
The wise master pondered for a moment and then said with a slight hesitation: "You mean the small human race?"
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Little human race?"
In a sense, the Kulakuka people are indeed considered to be small humans. They are no more than the size of a palm. What are they if they are not small people? But, is their scientific name really called Little Human Race?
The wise master heard Angel's doubts, so he explained: "In the Southern Territory, except for humans, those who can be accepted by wizards and can learn extraordinary knowledge need to be close relatives of the human race in terms of blood. Here, according to The categories are: giants, humanoids, dwarves and small humans.”
"Among this series of close relatives of the human race, most people would think that the dwarves may have the closest blood relationship with humans, because many humans are not taller than the dwarves. And except for the fact that dwarves look a bit like dwarfs, they are no different from humans."
"But in fact, the dwarves are not too closely related to humans, they are only a little higher than the humanoids."
"Actually, the ones closest to humans are the little humans. The kind of little humans that are about the size of a palm."
"There are rumors that the little humans are actually a race created by some powerful extraordinary wizards with their own blood when they were looking for a path to miracles. Therefore, their structure is almost the same as that of humans."
"For this reason, small humans will generally not be blocked from entering the wizarding organization. On the contrary, the wizarding organization may not be willing to accept humanoids, giants, and dwarves."
Angel had briefly heard of what the wise master said before, but this was the first time he heard such detailed information.
What the wise masters say is also true.
The few talented people from the Kulakuka tribe were not blocked at all when they entered the Savage Cave, and the wizard was willing to be their mentor.
"The Kulakuka tribe should be considered a small human race." Angel sighed: "I thought the wise master had never heard of them."
The wise master said: "I have seen a lot of small human tribes, but I have never seen the Kulakuka tribe. However, I have read a lot of wizard travel notes, and some of them also recorded the Kulakuka tribe. I remember, It seems that the Kulakuka people are protected by the Black Castle?”
Angel nodded: "Yes."
Currently, part of the Kulakuka tribe is still under the protection of Castle Black, and the other part is protected by Angel.
"You suddenly mentioned that the Kulakuka clan is related to the eternal snake emblem?"
Angel: "That's right, the term "Eternal Serpent Emblem" was told to me by the priest of the Kulakuka tribe. The priest told me that the symbol of the snake entwined cone is called the "Eternal Serpent Emblem"; and the ring-shaped awl in it is called "Eternal Serpent Emblem". It’s called the Cone of Immortality.”
The wise master raised his eyebrows: "Cone of Eternal Life? This is the first time I've heard of it. It was named after the descendants of the worshipers? Also, why do the Kulakuka tribe know this news?"
Angel: "I don't know if it was named after the descendants of the people who worshiped it. However, because the Kulakuka tribe lived in a fairy tale world and witnessed the overthrow of the Serpent Kingdom, they have some information about the Serpent Kingdom. understood.”
"The country of giant snakes." The wise master pondered for a moment: "I have vaguely heard of it, but I never thought it was related to the snake entangled cone."
Angel: "As far as I know, the Country of Serpents is a mortal country, where the medical arts are very prosperous, and all those who practice medicine in the Country of Serpents will swear an oath to the logo of the snake entangled with the cone. "
"Oath?" The wise man ruled: "Is it related to the snake-wrapped cone?"
Angel shook his head: "The content of the oath basically covers the norms after practicing medicine, as well as the ethics of doctors. There is no mention of snakes entangled with cones."
"That's it." The wise master touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "According to what you said, and some of my own conjectures, maybe there are handwritings by descendants of the source worshipers in the country of giant snakes. The snake winding cone is in The Baiyuan people are indeed good at medical treatment, so the country of giant snakes uses snakes wrapped around cones as doctors to take oaths, which is absolutely inseparable from the Baiyuan people. "
"That's my guess." Angel was silent for a moment and pointed at the black snake on the snake cone: "I have encountered a wise black snake at the ruins of the Kingdom of Giant Snakes before. Having lived for thousands of years, I thought this black snake was the snake on the cone."
"But now it seems that I must have misunderstood."
Angel previously believed that the symbol of the snake wrapped around the cone was: the eternal snake emblem.
The snake on the immortal snake emblem is Axl. The cone on the eternal snake emblem is the cone of eternal life.
But now the wise master told him that he had never heard of the Cone of Eternal Life. There is also the immortal snake emblem. Although the wise master has not clearly said that it is not a snake entangled with a cone, from his tone, it is basically certain that the two cannot be equated.
In other words, Angel's past perceptions may be all wrong.
However, just as Angel was reflecting on his own cognitive errors, the wise master said: "Times change, and what I know is not necessarily correct. Just like the Cone of Eternal Life, since it is a recognized name in the Kingdom of Giant Snakes, it means that the descendants of Baiyuan at that time also recognized it."
"And what I know is all about things that happened ten thousand years ago. This period of time is enough to turn the green forest into a desert and turn the plains into ridges. So, you don't need to care about my answer, just make your own judgment. My answer is just a reference."
With emotion, the wise master told the "answer" about the Eternal Snake Emblem ten thousand years ago.
The relationship between the Snake Cone and the Eternal Snake Emblem is not the equal sign that Angel understands. But the Eternal Snake Emblem is not completely unrelated to the Snake Cone.
As the internal force of the Baiyuan tribe, the Snake Cone is good at medical treatment and research. If you use the terminology of wizards, they tend to be academic.
The academics who focus on medical research, the most basic is to overcome stubborn diseases, a little more advanced is to study the source of diseases, and a little more advanced is to conduct targeted research on the microscopic and macroscopic worlds, and the ultimate goal of medical research is to study... immortality.
This is the case with the academics in the wizarding world, and it is also the case with the earth scholars mentioned by Jon.
The pursuit of immortality is probably a steel stamp engraved in the human mind by the brain, the highest command center of the human body.
It is not only for human beings themselves, but also for the continuation of the "brain" itself.
Although this statement is a bit of a separation of the brain and thinking, many experiments have told humans that the brain sometimes deceives even its own thoughts. Just like the famous split-brain experiment, the left and right brains have made up so many reasons that are full of jokes in the eyes of others in order to deceive you, and you yourself don’t think there is a problem at all.
Similarly, the pursuit of immortality is also the goal of the snake-wrapped cone.
They think that the Baiyuan people are a race favored by fate, they are the real darlings of the world's will, such a genius, shouldn’t they be immortal?
Therefore, there are also people in Baiyuan who pursue immortality, and this group of people is the Snake Wrapped Cone.
The ultimate goal of the Snake Wrapped Cone is immortality. And the concrete representation of this immortality is the so-called immortal snake emblem.
After listening to the story of the wise master, Angel personally believed it, because these things have nothing to do with the core interests of Naraku City, and the research on immortality is not only done by Baiyuan people, so no matter how you think about it, the logic is self-consistent.
However, what Angel doesn't understand is: "Why is it 'snake' and 'emblem'?"
First of all, why use snakes as a representative of immortality? And why is immortality just an emblem?
Or did Angel misunderstand it, and the snake emblem is not a logo, but a symbolic meaning?
Angel asked his doubts, but the wise master did not answer directly, but asked: "Why can't immortality be a logo?"
Before Angel answered, the wise master continued: "For the Baiyuan people, the continuation of civilization can be the burning fire in the altar in the unknown dimension. Then why can't immortality be a logo in the altar in the unknown dimension?"
Hearing the question of the wise master, Angel vaguely understood.
"The logo placed in the altar... the eternal snake emblem..." Angel murmured in a low voice: "What the Baiyuan people want to do is truly against the will of heaven."
The wise master was very satisfied that Angel understood it at once: "So you should understand now that the extinction of the Baiyuan people is not as simple as it seems. Xixia has been thinking about it for so many years and has not figured it out because she is in the game and can only see the scene in front of her."
Angel did not respond, but he agreed with what the wise master said.
The ambition of the snake wrapped around the cone is even more terrifying than he imagined.
As long as the Baiyuan people close their eyes, they can see an altar burning with blazing flames. This is the Source Fire Altar. Outsiders don't know where the altar is really located, but for the Baiyuan people, the altar is a spiritual connection they share.
Source Fire is their spiritual source.
If the Snake Cone wants to add another Eternal Snake Emblem that means immortality to this Source Fire Altar, it means
that all the Baiyuan people will be immortal under the illumination of the Eternal Snake Emblem!
This is equivalent to promoting an entire tribe to a new life form!
The immortality studied by others is only for their own immortality, while the immortality studied by the Snake Cone is an overall transition.
Even Angel was shocked by such a feat. If this is not called defying the heaven, what is defying the heaven?
And this "heaven" is not defying the will of the world, nor is it defying the rules and regulations, but defying... the heaven of mankind! The heaven of the human race!
It is no wonder that the Baiyuan people will slowly disappear in the southern region. The reason is said to be coveted for the source fire, and this is probably just an excuse.
The real reason may be the small number of extreme people among the Baiyuan people.
The Snake Cone is only responsible for medical treatment and research among the Baiyuan people, but its goal is so amazing. It is conceivable that other forces among the Baiyuan people will also have some extreme ideas.
It can only be said that success is also the altar, and failure is also the altar.
The altar that the Baiyuan people see when they close their eyes shares everything with the Baiyuan people, allowing the Baiyuan people to walk a unique path, but also puts the Baiyuan people into trouble.
And the altar of the Baiyuan people is shared, so when they encounter difficulties, basically all the Baiyuan people suffer together.
Angel: "Did they do it?"
The wise master shrugged: "Who knows? The snake cone in Naraku City is not researching the eternal snake emblem. I don't know how far they have studied the eternal snake emblem, how much progress they have made, and whether they have succeeded."
Angel: "Is the wise master not curious at all?"
"Of course I am curious, but if you have more important things to do, you will put aside even the most curious things." The wise master's tone was meaningful.
"More important things?"
The wise master: "Yes. At that time, Naraku City still had a lot of things to do, for example, some important experiments."
The wise master deliberately paused and looked at Angel.
Angel understood what the wise master meant, and deliberately paused to keep him on the edge, just to make him take the initiative to ask what experiment it was.
Angel did not rebel, and followed the wise master's tone and asked: "Oh, I don't know what important experiment it is?"
The wise master: "According to the regulations, I can't tell you this."
Angel:...Then what do you mean by asking?
While Angel was complaining in his heart, the wise master said again: "However, if you are willing to become a participant, I can tell you the truth about these experiments."
"Participant? Does the wise master mean that these experiments are still going on?"
The wise master shook his head: "No, all experiments have been stopped."
"Then does the wise master mean that I should restart these experiments?"
The wise master: "No. I don't agree with many experiments myself, but other masters or Naraku need them. Since the experiment has been stopped, let it continue to be stopped."
"What I call a participant is the relationship between the Snake Cone and Naraku City."
Angel: "What is the relationship between the Snake Cone and Naraku City?"
"Cooperation."
Angel immediately realized that, to put it bluntly, it was just an alliance.
This is like the friendship between the Magic Island and the Black Castle.
However, Angel is very self-aware. He has some ability and he sees it clearly. Now he is full of confidence and dares to say a few words to anyone because the Iron Armor Granny supports him behind the scenes.
Without this confidence, Angell would have to keep his head down.
Even if he has alchemy talent, he can't do it alone. Moreover, the wise master is also proficient in alchemy, but his research direction is different from his. However, although the direction of alchemy is different, it ends up in the same place.
Therefore, Angell doesn't think that the wise master values himself.
The wise master actually values the power behind him and the Savage Cave.
He can agree to this proposal in his own name, but if he agrees on behalf of the Magic Island or the Savage Cave, this is a typical case of overstepping one's authority.
Also, what is cooperation? The original intention of cooperation is not unilateral contribution, but a community of mutual interests. Only when both parties have interests to gain can cooperation be achieved.
What can the underground waterway do to cooperate with the Savage Cave? What interests are worth the Savage Cave's efforts?
At present, the answer is no.
Therefore, Angell is absolutely impossible to agree.
