After listening to Lacey's explanation, Lin Yu finally understood.
So this is the real reason why the Maya were driven off Earth.
Technological advancements!
indeed!
The more advanced technology becomes, the more morally corrupt people become.
Take China today, for example. Despite the rapid development of productivity, people are not living such happy lives.
Many people still go hungry, many are still displaced, and many still die in the war.
These are all consequences of scientific development.
Airplanes, cannons, nuclear bombs—these weapons can easily cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
How many people died in World War I, World War II, and the upcoming World War III?
Countless!
It seems our ancestors were indeed prescient.
The maid's expression was exaggerated when Lacey said these things.
It seems unacceptable.
"Your Highness, is what you're saying true? We Mayans were actually driven out of China? The history books don't seem to record it that way!"
History books are vague about the history of the Maya on Earth.
Several hypotheses have also been proposed.
One hypothesis suggests that the Maya left China because of environmental pollution and human destruction of the ecosystem, making it impossible for them to survive, thus forcing them to leave.
Some say it was caused by a planetary impact that generated extremely high temperatures, while others say it was due to a mini ice age. In short, there is no definitive conclusion.
As a proud Mayan, how could she accept that her ancestors were driven out?
Lacey sighed and said, "Actually, this is no secret. These humiliating histories are of course not recorded in history books, but we royals are taught about them from a young age! I don't feel any humiliation about it! Technological civilization can indeed inflate people's ambitions and bring disaster to the world! I have always advocated for peace, but some people don't think that way!"
The maid frowned and said, "Your Highness, we Maya have been developing in isolation for so many years. With our current technological strength, we are capable of ruling the entire Jambudvipa. Some time ago, Duke Kali even made a statement that he wanted to first provoke conflicts in several surrounding countries, and then completely rule them. After unifying the surrounding territories, we would then march on China. Can we do that?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's eyes flashed.
Well, finally we've heard something of value. This Duke of Cali is the key point.
Perhaps it was this Duke of Cali who impersonated Isabella to launch a surprise attack on another country's border.
Princess Lacey, however, seemed to dislike Kali very much.
He coldly rebuked, "Don't listen to his nonsense! He's a madman, a fanatical warmonger. If he continues like this, he'll bring annihilation upon the Maya!"
From Lacey's words, it was clear that she had an inexplicable aversion to this Cali.
This is a difference in ideology; Cali is a war fanatic, while Lacey is a peace lover.
But the maid looked unconvinced. "Your Highness, no matter what, the Duke is your future husband. How can you say such things about him? Besides, with the technological strength of our Maya, ruling other countries would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"
"Shut up!"
Lacey coldly retorted, "Who said I was going to marry him! Besides, do you think war is a good thing? Once the Maya move their war machine out, countless lands and people will be plunged into misery. Furthermore, technological weapons are not invincible. Thousands of years ago, we lost once in China. No matter how advanced our technology is, it's not as powerful as those cultivators. Those people are incredibly skilled and unpredictable; they are simply beyond the reach of technological civilization. Don't be so naive!"
The maid was scolded and immediately blushed.
However, it's clear that the arrogance in her eyes is still quite evident.
This is not an isolated case; all Mayans have an inexplicable confidence in their people, a result of technological advancements.
They rely on technology and believe in science.
Moreover, the Mayan kingdom itself was economically prosperous with a small gap between the rich and poor, making it a truly democratic, civilized, and powerful developed country.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly; he now had a general understanding of the Maya people.
This land currently seems to be divided into two factions: Duke Cali is on one side, advocating war, while Princess Lacey is on the other, advocating peace.
However, it remains to be seen whether Princess Lacey can represent the royal family's stance.
Boom!
Amidst all this chaos, an explosion suddenly occurred on the road ahead.
The carriage suddenly began to shake violently, and the horses, seemingly startled, kicked off and galloped away.
"Good heavens! Who attacked the princess's procession?!"
"The princess's carriage has gone out of control!"
"Quickly notify the patrol battalion to rescue the princess!"
People on the street started shouting.
In the Mayan kingdom, a complete ban on gasoline-powered vehicles and any other energy-powered vehicles had long been in place.
They have planned various flight routes and flying vehicles, such as air buses, in the sky, which has completely solved the problem of traffic congestion.
Only special vehicles and royal carriages are permitted to travel on the roads. Therefore, when Lacey's carriage was startled, everyone knew that something had happened to the princess.
Aaaaaah!
Inside the carriage, the maid screamed in terror.
Lacey remained relatively calm, gripping the handrail tightly. She peeked through the curtains, her pupils dilating instantly as she exclaimed, "Oh no! The park dock is just ahead! The carriage is about to plunge into the sea!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the carriage leaped onto the dock and was about to rush into the sea.
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly jumped out of the window.
"Oh, you!" Lacey exclaimed in shock.
"Damn it! This guy actually abandoned us and ran away at the crucial moment, that damned slave!" the maid yelled angrily.
However, at that moment, a figure caught up from behind and suddenly pulled on the reins of the carriage.
Woohoo!
Lin Yu was dragged along by the carriage, leaving a long trail on the ground. Finally, the carriage stopped just before it was about to plunge into the sea.
A moment later, Lacey and her maid emerged from the carriage.
At this moment, both of them stared at Lin Yu in utter shock.
"I never expected you to be so strong!" The maid was shocked, and at the same time felt like she had just escaped a disaster.
Lacey also looked at Lin Yu with bright eyes.
"This steed is a highland breed that I personally selected. One of these horses has the strength of four horses. If you can hold the reins, you must have the strength of at least five horses. Could it be that you are a martial artist, and a martial arts master at that?"
Although martial artists are not popular in the Mayan Kingdom, the level of martial arts grandmaster is not low, and can be used as a guest advisor to some large families.
As for slaves? Absolutely not!
No martial arts master would willingly serve as someone else's servant, let alone a slave!
She never expected that a martial arts master would be sold to the princess's residence; this was something that had never happened before!
