Lin Ke was naturally able to perceive the deeper meaning in the other party's words.
The so-called West Coast refers to that underground gathering place.
And the various kinds of crabs are like the different kinds of people wearing masks.
So Lin Ke said that it was just too dark in the shadows, and they could only see their shells and pincers.
This was Lin Ke implying to the other party that he was aware of the gathering and that he had seen the masked people at the gathering.
Of course, Musa's answer was that he was "one" of the crabs.
The "crab" here refers to the leader of this civilization and the various forces that secretly assist him.
However, all of this is subject to two even more powerful beings.
One of them is the "fisherman" who catches crabs.
Another type is a powerful "crab" that can cut through fishing nets and protect other "crabs," yet wants to share their territory and resources.
Clearly, in Musa's view, both of these entities were things he could not resist.
As one of the "crabs," "Mali" had no choice but to let the powerful "crabs" live in his territory in order to avoid being "caught."
That's why Musa said it was tragic.
That was not due to natural selection, but rather the Malian leaders' powerlessness in the face of these two powerful entities.
Lin Ke immediately realized that the reason why the Malian leader went to the dock tonight was indeed to confirm the current strength of Holy Egypt.
He is now certain that what the Malian leaders want is probably not just a simple matter of establishing friendly diplomatic relations or forming an alliance.
What he wanted was a "crab" to fight alongside him, or a different kind of "life" that could help Mali escape its current state.
"Survival of the fittest is not something to be sad about."
Lin Ke looked at Musa, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Seeing the sudden change in the Pharaoh's expression, Musa listened even more attentively.
"Survival of the fittest?"
"It seems that the Holy Pharaoh already has his opinion on this matter, and I am willing to listen attentively."
Lin Ke nodded, took a deep breath, and then turned his gaze to the dark land further away.
“You see, the fishermen know how fierce the crabs are, but I believe they also know that the crabs must have their fatal weaknesses.”
"If fishermen cannot catch any crabs, they will turn to other marine creatures."
"But if crabs can't be caught, wouldn't their numbers explode?"
"With the increase in the number of large crabs, the situation of other crabs will become increasingly precarious, and the large crabs will make it more difficult for fishermen to catch normal crabs."
"Therefore, the fishermen will certainly find a way to get rid of the crabs."
When Lin Ke got to this point, Musa's expression had turned into one of disbelief.
While Lin Ke was speaking, his eyes seemed not to blink even once.
“Holy Pharaoh, are you saying that this is a balance, and that an increase in either side will trigger a new ‘conflict’?”
"Is it right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke simply shook her head a few times.
This made Musa's expression even more inscrutable.
"You're absolutely right, but every party has its own interests, and the so-called balance is just a rule."
"What I want to talk about is not the rules, but the 'crabs' in the sea."
“King, you should know very well that every creature has its weaknesses.”
“Take the crab for example. Once it is turned over and its soft belly is exposed, it is at the mercy of others.”
"If the crab flips over, the fisherman can easily subdue the seemingly troublesome crab with just a long stick."
"So, in my opinion, there's nothing sad about it, because fishermen will eventually discover the crabs' weaknesses."
"Ordinary crabs can briefly regain territory and resources."
"But they cannot escape the fate of being caught and their numbers drastically reduced."
Ultimately, no matter what kind of crab it is, it will inevitably perish.
"Of course, if the fishermen were lenient with them, they might be able to survive for a long time."
"It's just that we have to pay some price every year."
Musa was stunned for a long time after hearing Lin Ke's words.
In fact, Lin Ke's meaning couldn't be clearer: even though Mali now has a powerful entity protecting it, it ultimately cannot defend its own destiny.
For a truly powerful civilization, all Mali can do is comply.
After all, they don't have the large nets of "fishermen" or the large pincers of giant crabs.
Then, Musa gave a wry laugh and shook his head a few times.
He looked at Lin Ke, and at that moment, Musa's eyes held a hint of admiration.
"However, given the Holy Pharaoh's profound knowledge of the island's ecology, he must have frequently observed these creatures, right?"
"But the crabs in Holy Egypt are probably different from the crabs here."
"By the way, I also heard that some crabs here migrate en masse on the night of a full moon, which is quite a spectacular sight."
"However, if the tide rises before a storm, even the most cunning crab will not escape its fate."
"Would the Holy Pharaoh be willing to accompany me to see this?"
"Of course, not today."
Lin Ke calmly gazed at Musa, trying to discern the deeper meaning in his words.
Clearly, Musa had a premonition that someone might leave the world conference.
What he wanted to do was to watch with Lin Ke see what choices the "crab" would make in the "storm".
Of course, besides that, this was also a gesture of goodwill and an invitation for Lin Ke.
The other side is testing whether Holy Egypt might stand on the same side as Mali.
Faced with such an invitation, Lin Ke certainly had no reason to refuse.
After all, he didn't have many friends on Delos.
“Of course, the king of Mali.”
"Such a rare sight, I'd love to watch it with you."
After Lin Ke finished speaking, he indeed saw a hint of joy in Musa's eyes.
Just then, Lin Ke spoke again.
"However, the changes in nature are indeed amazing."
"Some organisms, when faced with danger and unable to fight off predators, evolve the ability to cope with extreme environments."
“I can see similar scenes on the coast of Holy Egypt.”
Upon hearing Lin Ke's words, Musa merely raised his head slightly in curiosity: "Oh?"
"The ability to cope with extreme environments?"
"I wonder how the crabs of Holy Egypt differ from those of Delos?"
Lin Ke simply looked at the other person and slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
“Very different.”
