Chapter 689: Plan to Kill Tiansi in Advance
"Like Cardinal Belisarius... He was stationed in the ancient Parthian Empire for a long time. I admire him very much—I grew up listening to his legends. It was because of him that I joined the Inquisition.
"Because slavery in the ancient Parthian Empire arose from their culture and political system. Although we all believe it is wrong, we cannot simply deny it. Only when the Parthians themselves stand up and awaken can they fully negate themselves and move on to the next stage of civilization. Any other physical interference is essentially aggression."
Cardinal Dominic said softly, "Without the 'Good Lord,' the ancient Parthian Empire would be nothing but a lifeless desert. They made a pact with the phantom demons that inhabit the deep sea of the Dream Realm, gaining the ability to create water out of thin air... and forcibly created several oases in the Parthian Desert, where life should not exist."
"Since they have a monopoly on this resource, it's the seller's freedom to sell water at a high price; and those thirsty for water can sell themselves to them, which is also the buyer's freedom. Perhaps 'market regulators' will regulate this behavior, but we believe it's a normal part of civilization—the pathologies and chronic diseases are also part of the normal development of civilization.
"Besides, we can't kidnap good people and force them to provide water to others for free. At the same time, we are also unable to transport water to that demonic desert... That desert was cursed long ago, and any water source that does not contain sin will quickly dry up after entering it - it is said that this is because there are a large number of sinthorns under the desert, but I am not sure about this.
"From my perspective... from the very beginning, that place was not meant to be a place where life and civilization should have been born. Toxic soil cannot produce good fruit, and polluted seas will only breed sick fish. If you want to survive in that desert, you must pay a higher price.
Unless there is a benevolent master who is truly willing to provide water to others free of charge, the Parthians will continue to regard this system of dependence on the benevolent master as perfectly normal. They may even thank the benevolent master, sincerely believing that this is a "good deed" worthy of sacrificing their lives and freedom.
“At the same time, in Parthia, almost every Parthian kept slaves, and more than 60% kept three or more slaves… They didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, and even the slaves themselves didn’t deny slavery—they just wanted to be slave owners.
"In this environment, it's really hard for us to change them. 'The Parthians are more stubborn than the dwarves,' that's a saying that's passed down among us."
Aiwass shook his head.
I can only say that the moral level of the elves is still too high...
Gentlemen can be deceived—they have so many concerns that they are unable to move forward. But there is no way around it, after all, their good deeds are the purpose themselves... This "redemption theory" itself is the practice of the path of dedication.
If we change the means to achieve our goals and become tough and violent, we may stray from the path of dedication.
"Where did all these slaves come from?"
Isabel frowned as she listened.
She could hardly imagine that there could be such a decadent place... and she couldn't understand why there were more slaves than free people and why they were unwilling to overthrow the rule of the free people?
If it were placed in Avalon or Iris... Oh, the people at Iris have already done that, so it's okay.
Cardinal Dominic sighed and said slowly:
"Most of these slaves came from other defeated settlements, with a few coming from slave-hunting teams and the Goblin Guild. To protect the interests of the Good Master, even if the slaves' origins were illegal, they would not return the slaves they had sold to them as free people. Instead, all slaves sold by the Good Master were 'legal slaves.'
"The Parthians relied on this method to continuously eliminate surplus populations and transform them into wealth. Almost every Parthian was wealthy before the city fell, far wealthier than the common people of Avalon and Iris. Even the Parthians accepted that today's free men could become new slaves tomorrow. Even so, they would still do whatever they pleased with their slaves and would ride camels to secretly capture new slaves.
"We can't change this habit, because even the locals think it's normal. Even if we try to teach them common sense, they are always very stubborn and unwilling to accept it. But there are always some evil people, and even the locals think they deserve death... And in such cases, they will risk their lives to travel deep into the desert to ask Belisarius to judge the evildoers - this act itself is dangerous, and it is enough to demonstrate their determination.
“And Belisarius would emerge from the depths of the desert with the paladins, crush the city-state’s resistance, capture the villains and publicly try them, and then disappear back into the depths of the desert.
"They don't know that Belisarius is the Cardinal of the Theocracy... Many of them have never seen an elf in their lives, and few elves travel to that cursed desert. They call Cardinal Belisarius the 'Ice Heart King,' the mysterious guardian of the desert's depths. Occasionally, some wise men venture into the desert seeking guidance... and then Cardinal Belisarius will tell them about the world and knowledge beyond the desert. If anyone wishes to leave the desert, Cardinal Belisarius will have paladins escort them.
"Water, good masters, deserts, slaves, city-states... How they ultimately choose and how they act is a matter for the Parthians themselves. Belisarius can only offer them one possibility... the possibility of resistance.
"He said that even the foolish and unawakened were worth saving. If someone came for help, he would rescue them; if someone came for knowledge, he would give it to them. If someone wanted to go out and see the world and then come back to save their homeland... Regardless of whether they would return or not, he would find a way to take them away.
He has been waiting there silently, awaiting the Parthians' decision and complete awakening. When that happens, Belisarius will fight for these awakened ones, helping them to defeat all obstacles.
"He kept telling me it would be soon — that day would be here soon."
There is hope and longing in Cardinal Dominic's voice.
Her voice was full of adoration.
Aiwass nodded slightly.
--really.
The Fourth Water War is about to begin.
At that time, the Parthians will summon the "Yuan Tiansi" who once destroyed the Atlanteans...
Yuan Tiansi is the Tiansi of the Dusk Path—He existed even before the Dusk Path was called the Dusk Path.
At that time, the power of the source river of "error" was still called the "forbidden" path.
Yuan Tiansi, born in the deep sea, is an extremely huge sea monster. Its arrival will directly turn the ancient Parthia Kingdom into a vast ocean and permanently destroy the cursed desert.
If Aiwas wanted to upgrade his Sin Beast, he needed to defeat the Celestial Master of the corresponding attribute in the material world. With the Celestial Master fragments of the corresponding attributes, he could allow his Sin Beast to accompany him in his level breakthrough.
Because Yuan Tiansi is a problem that must be summoned and must be dealt with as soon as possible - if Yuan Tiansi is not summoned, the problem of water shortage in the ancient Parthia Kingdom will never be permanently solved; and if Yuan Tiansi is not solved, then endless water will gradually flood the entire world.
...Maybe I can take some time to visit the ancient Parthia.
This thought popped up in Aiwas' mind.
If we could summon Yuan Tiansi through the Tail Ring Ritual in advance, it might be much easier to fight him.
The Yuantiansi in the game is an eighty-level template, which is simply destroying the world... Millions of square kilometers of desert sank and turned into the sea out of thin air, human gathering places disappeared one after another, and cities were melted one after another... The feeling of powerlessness is really too shocking.
Aiwass had no memory of Cardinal Belisarius, and it was probably already at that time that he had already sent it away. Given his personality, he would definitely meet the enemy head-on. However, a normal profession could not defeat the descending celestial official alone without preparing special countermeasures.
But if he is a level 50 template... then he can't be so strong.
An idea popped into Aiwass's mind.
He was led astray by the inertial thinking brought about by his prophetic perspective.
Aside from the Fallen Angels who had to be taken down manually first, the other Angels... maybe there was no need to wait until the world level was opened so high before fighting them!
Those enemies that are almost impossible to fight against at level 80 or 90, if they are pulled down to level 50 or 60, they may not be that strong at all!
For example...
——Huantiansi!
"...That's a good idea. Let's try it out when the time comes."
For the first time, a possibility of killing Huan Tiansi appeared in Aiwas' mind.
Whenever he kills the Fallen Angels, he will prepare to go to rest.
Aiwas was also somewhat curious about that sinful country - when he came into contact with Parthia in the game, the ancient Parthia Kingdom had been destroyed by the sea and turned into ruins.
He has not yet seen the ancient Parthian Empire during the desert period.
