Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 27 Challenger 1 (Part 2)
(I was given Pillars of Eternity 2 for my birthday. Time is running out...)
“…This is not just a feast for players, but perhaps also a political mission.”
In the central star field of the Free Federation, the bigwigs gathered together and began to discuss and think about the strange actions of Holy Light.
Unlike the spiritual network for internal communication in the Holy Light, the minds of the people in this hall are completely closed, and they can only use slow and uncertain language to describe their thoughts and choices. This was decided at the beginning of the establishment of the Free Federation, and they did not want anyone to enslave their minds anymore.
It can only be said that many of the ideas are good, but there are some problems in execution. At the beginning, everyone was an elite, so naturally they quickly reached various cooperation and consensus. But as time went on, the blood nobles and local forces rose, the number of people in this hall became more and more, the execution became worse and worse, and the overall structure became more and more bloated. Of course, this is the case from the outside, but from their perspective, everything is the same.
They are still a beacon of light for the world, including all persecuted people. Sometimes they deserve it, but propaganda is still there.
And at the very top of this lighthouse, a group of people were bustling and noisy, as if they were quarreling in a vegetable market.
"Players are immortal and their intelligence exists forever. Even if they die and their bodies and souls are completely obliterated, sooner or later a similar character will appear again in a corner of a planet. Their appearance may be different, but their memories and behaviors are essentially the same."
A man with various patterns on his head stood up and shouted loudly in the hall like a bell, expressing his opinions.
"Although it is uncertain how long they can stay in this universe, their potential has been demonstrated. They have an intelligence network that spans all spaces, can consciously choose to share their information, and can greatly enhance their own capabilities. In this short period of time, almost all the players who care about us have reached the corresponding level. So now I have a question, who was the one who rejected our investment in players in the parliament?"
"No need to make indirect accusations, Lyndon."
The gentleman sitting on the chair pushed up his monocle, crossed his white-gloved hands on his abdomen, crossed his legs and looked at the tall man with contempt.
"I still hold the same view. There is no point in investing in players now. These players are a group of wild wolves that cannot be tamed. They will wag their tails at you for a piece of meat, and they will tear your throat for another piece of meat. You just need to throw some leftovers when necessary to lure them to come and work . Investment? Don't be ridiculous. Even if I throw my money into a biogas digester and vomit biogas, it is more meaningful than investing in players."
"Ha! What shallow arrogance and prejudice! Do you want to attribute your failure to the players as a whole? I know that one of your industries once employed players but was directly destroyed, but why do you blame innocent players for your own incompetence? They are just oppressed! Where there is oppression, there is resistance!"
"And then? So what? This can only be another proof of the player's vicious nature. Does it have anything to do with me?"
"Our federation was established because of tolerance and freedom. Are you looking down on the federation ?"
"Tolerance and freedom, ha..."
The gentleman sat in his chair and sneered, shaking his head as if he couldn't stand it.
The tall man with tattoos blushed, pointed at the gentleman sitting on the chair as if he was humiliated, and shouted angrily:
"Don't forget, you can sit here and speak freely because of tolerance and freedom! Without our tolerance and understanding, do you think you could have reached this point with your bloodline?"
"Ha, you sound like the Holy Light used bloodline as an excuse to frame someone. Do you need me to teach you something as simple as the success of the capable? Look at your behavior without any rules. If I remember correctly, your family has been intermarrying for nearly a thousand years. What are the results? How many idiots and genetic disease patients were born this year? Oh, that's too bad. I forgot that your birth certificate seemed to be damaged by an accident. What a pity."
"How dare you insult our family's bloodline and traditions!!!"
"I find your family traditions and bloodlines passed down to me as thoroughbreds dirty. Why haven't you, a fool who is blinded by the glory of your ancestors and imitates them, died on a woman's belly? Is it because your wise ancestors left you ancestral precepts, such as not spending more than thirty seconds on a woman, but having to surrender within these thirty seconds? Oh, it seems that he was a far-sighted ancestor. I really admire him."
“You actually——!”
"You want a duel? Hmm? A mortal without awakened magic power against a god? What an epic story. You must be able to accomplish something as great as the Tenth Crown. I look forward to you leading us to victory? Shall we start now?"
"Silence, silence! Do not mention the names and positions of certain important figures in this occasion! Otherwise, it will cause some bad magical reactions, and then we will have to get rid of those foul-mouthed people!"
Looking at the angry eyes of others, the gentleman shrugged and sat on the chair with an indifferent look on his face.
After making sure that this troublemaker was no longer saying anything, the others turned their heads away doubtfully and continued with their original topic.
You have to go, after all, the things called by the Holy Light generally affect a large number of followers, so it would be a waste not to go. But how to go, in whose name to go, and how many quotas for the family are there, that is a problem. For the Free Federation, all of this is a great advertising business. Players are famous not only because they can fight and resist, but also because they are really keen on spending money. How much money can be made from this advertisement, and how many people can be hired to advertise equipment, that is the real topic of the Free Federation.
Meanwhile, the demons were waging a grand and gorgeous civil war, without discussing anything. There was no hidden strength either. Anyway, they couldn't even count the number of demons , so it didn't matter what kind of player or ghost competition they were in. Anyway, they just had to kill a wave of teammates first.
Since they didn't care, there was naturally no obstacle. The players in the Demon Camp were different from the Free and Holy Light Camps in that they were cautious or cultivated. They were completely free-range and were very keen on the atmosphere of player battles. Even if they were not contestants, they all swarmed towards the competition. It seemed that they planned to stay in this place for a long time to experience the real high-end battle atmosphere.
As for Holy Light... they really just wanted to start a competition to waste some energy.
