Chapter 517 Relative Equality (Third update, please vote)
Shao sat down, looked around the long table, and looked at everyone.
There were people he was familiar with, his students, and some nodding acquaintances. After looking at them one by one, Shao spoke slowly.
"Everyone is here, let's study the first item of this meeting, about whether it is necessary to retain the veto power."
Shao saw his students eager to try, but also saw some rejection in his eyes.
"Let me state my opinion first. I personally think this is an extremely useless power. It will only slow down the meeting of the Council and the implementation of policies. If you have any objections, you can speak up."
"I don't think so."
The Snake Shaman was the first to speak: "The Continental Council established by the God of Fire has such power. There is no reason why we should not learn from the God of Fire."
Shao listened carefully. After listening to the Snake Shaman's words, he nodded: "That makes sense. Does anyone have other reasons?"
He asked again without rushing to deny it.
"I do."
This time it was the Star Shaman who spoke up: "I think this is the foundation of equality in the alliance system. If this system is overturned, the Fire Tribe will dominate and it may also cause the alliance to be alienated, so I oppose it."
Shao nodded and looked at the others again with a probing look.
His students wanted to speak, but he stopped them: "First, express your opposition, and then express your support or opposition."
Shao's students immediately quieted down. After a glance around and seeing that no one was speaking, Shao looked at the Wolf Shaman.
"Wolf Shaman, do you have any suggestions?"
The Wolf Shaman is a relatively special existence in the Fire Tribe Alliance. Shao's questioning of him can be said to be asking a weather vane. Many tribes will follow the Wolf Shaman to make a choice.
"I don't have any suggestions."
The Wolf Shaman denied, which surprised the leader of the Wolf Tribe next to him.
"Okay, then I will express my opposition on these two points."
Shao did not use his students to appear. From the beginning, he personally went on stage.
"First, let me talk about the snake witch's reasons. Learning from the God of Fire is certainly correct, but I think you misjudged the situation."
Shao stood up, and the guards behind him immediately pulled back the cloth on the wall behind Shao, revealing a black painted wooden board.
On the board was a map of the entire continent, shaped a bit like a vertical ellipse. In fact, the Fire Tribe Alliance did not have a complete map of the continent, after all, there were too many places they had not explored.
"The Ice Bear Tribe is in the north, the Fire Tribe Alliance is in the center, and the Miao Tribe is in the south. The three powers jointly control the continent. In this situation, the Ice Bear Tribe becomes a god, and the Fire Tribe Alliance and the Miao Tribe are at a disadvantage."
After Shao finished his instructions on the blackboard, he turned back to the snake witch and continued, "In this case, the veto power allows the Fire Tribe Alliance and the Miao Tribe to protect their own interests."
Everyone nodded. This point is not difficult to understand, but it is not a reason to refute the words of the snake witch.
Seeing that everyone expressed understanding, Shao also nodded.
He still has some habits as a teacher, and needs feedback from "students". He will continue to talk after confirming that the "students" understand.
"When the mainland does not have too many affairs, this is of course no problem. But once the mainland's affairs become heavy, this system is no longer advisable. That's why the God of Fire added a variable to the contract, which is that the three tribes can nominate some tribes to join the mainland council."
Shao observed everyone, and he continued to explain only after everyone was sure they understood what he said.
"You who may join the Continental Council are the ones who really handle affairs. You can't ask the witches of the three tribal alliances to take charge of all matters, big or small. In this case, the veto power becomes particularly important, and this power is only possessed by the Ice Bear Totem, the Fire God, and the Miao Totem."
He swept his eyes over the crowd, turned around and sat back in his seat, and spoke again: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone thought silently. This question was a bit complicated, and they hadn't thought about it.
"You mean that some tribes can be selected to have power, while most tribes don't?"
asked the wolf witch.
Shao shook his head and said, "I mean that except for the Fire Tribe, other tribes don't have it."
Everyone was surprised, and some of them couldn't figure it out and didn't understand what Shao was doing.
"Why?"
the wolf wizard asked in confusion.
If he hadn't been beaten up by the wolf totem a few days ago, he would have been furious.
"Because of strength."
Shao said calmly: "The Ice Bear Tribe, the Fire Tribe Alliance, and the Miao Tribe are each separatist and have equal strength, and in the Fire Tribe Alliance, no tribe can stand up to the Fire Tribe, so..."
Shao suddenly looked at everyone aggressively: "You are not qualified to have such rights, understand?"
This sentence is indeed hurtful, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed true.
"What about the equality of all tribes advocated by the God of Fire?"
The snake wizard couldn't help but jump out and ask.
"Relative equality."
Shao said without hesitation: "I must change equality into relative equality, because it was because of excessive equality that the eighth generation witch was assassinated. From now on, please add the word "relative" to the sentence of equality among all tribes. Do you understand what I mean?"
He looked at the snake witch with an aggressive look, making the snake witch at a loss for words.
"Shao..."
The wolf witch started to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Shao.
"Call me a fire witch, or a witch."
Shao looked at the wolf witch, and his eyes did not change at all because of his identity.
"...Witch, you are changing the policy set by the God of Fire. I think this matter needs to be reported to the God of Fire."
The Wolf Shaman started talking again.
Shao frowned, and his students all looked at the Wolf Shaman with dissatisfaction.
This was tantamount to using the God of Fire to force Shao. Everyone knew that the equality of all tribes was stated by the God of Fire, and it was what he had always insisted on.
Asking the God of Fire to admit relative equality was tantamount to asking the God of Fire to slap himself in the face. How could he possibly do that?
If the God of Fire was really invited, the proposal of the last nine generations of shamans would definitely be rejected.
The opposition immediately became excited, and they all looked at Shao.
Shao frowned and scanned the entire long table. He could see gloating, as well as worry and tension, but his own mood was still very calm.
"Okay."
Shao stood up neatly, took a step back, bowed slightly and faced the open space behind him: "Please ask the God of Fire."
"Huh."
The breathing in the room seemed to have stopped. They didn't expect Shao to ask the God of Fire directly without any excuses.
Isn't he afraid of failure?
These people thought doubtfully.
He is not afraid.
Shao had no fear in his heart. He believed that he was right. Even if the God of Fire disagreed, it did not prove that he was wrong.
Moreover, before asking, the God of Fire gave a fifty-fifty answer, and no one knew what the result would be.
"Buzz."
Thick mist suddenly gathered here, and the face of Diwu Xuan appeared in the thick mist.
He first glanced at the venue, then asked with a frown, "Who summoned me?"
He asked knowingly. Shao was standing next to him, how could he not see it?
But everyone knew that this was the Fire God expressing his dissatisfaction. Among the many claims of the Fire God, one of them was that the totems should not interfere with the development of the tribe, and he himself has always adhered to this claim.
"It's me, the Fire God."
Shao stepped forward and said without any fear.
"Don't you know that I don't participate in political affairs?"
Diwu Xuan asked dissatisfiedly.
He could help Shao, but not by using power to oppress others. Doing so would only be politics under the rule of force.
If he chose to suppress the entire alliance violently and bloodily, what else should they do? Just kill them all from beginning to end, for thirty to fifty years, and kill off a generation, and the rest will naturally be slaves.
But he didn't do that, because he didn't want slaves.
"It was the Wolf Shaman who requested that the God of Fire be allowed to participate in politics."
Shao said without hesitation. Everyone was surprised, and then they saw the God of Fire looking at the Wolf Shaman with some unkindness in his eyes.
"What's your suggestion?"
Diwu Xuan asked.
"Gulp."
The Wolf Shaman swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He wanted to say no, but he didn't dare, so he could only nod.
"Go to the altar yourself. The Wolf Tribe has waived all rights in all votes at the board meeting today."
After Diwu Xuan said this, his face disappeared directly into the thick mist, and the thick mist quickly dissipated.
He just...left.
Left?
All the witches and leaders were stunned. The God of Fire came and left in a hurry this time. It seemed that he did nothing except taking away the wolf witch.
No, he did not do nothing. His gesture had clearly expressed his support for Shao. Not only did he support him, but he also took away the most capable rebel.
"Come over your witch later and beat him up again. I won't stand it this time."
After returning to the God's Court, Diwu Xuan called the greedy wolf over and said something, then transferred his consciousness to the chaotic world.
In this way, even if someone summoned him again, he would not be able to feel it.
He did what he should and should not do. Now it depends on Shao's own ability.
This bunch of brats still want to use him, but they don't know that he has been watching the show in the sunset bow of the leader of the Sun Tribe. When he went out, he had already figured out a countermeasure.
Is it equality or relative equality? This question is difficult for him to answer. Once a precedent is set, it will be difficult to change it in the future.
Changing orders every day is unacceptable, not to mention that he is a god.
He couldn't say it, and he wanted to support Shao, so he just took the initiative. After the matter was perfectly resolved, he left and no longer participated.
He had just read the beast skin scroll when the leader of the tribe was reading it. The contents on it made him tremble.
Compared with Shao's changes, the changes of the eighth generation witch are really small witches compared to the big witches. At the same time, the content of this beast skin scroll also revealed Shao's pattern.
Diwu Xuan fully believed that if Shao could really implement his ideas, the Fire Tribe would definitely undergo earth-shaking changes, completely walk out of the confinement of the tribe, and enter the era of alliance.
This matter may affect too many interests, so he can't get too deeply involved, otherwise if something goes wrong, he won't be able to take the blame.
This time, it depends on Shao.
