Chapter 834 Animal World
Aleister originally had no intention of fighting directly with other promoted people.
The main reason is that even if you kill the other party, you can't actually stop the other party's actions - this is the most important reason.
Although these people seemed to have grudges against each other and would fight if they met...Aleister didn't really have any conflicts with them. She could just sit back and watch the fight, then go off to complete her mission.
Even for transcendent beings who have transcended the Dao, killing should not be the goal. Or rather, it is precisely because they have transcended the Dao that killing becomes a means.
To the transcendent, everything is just a means.
Moreover, Aleister knew the background of "this painting" from the very beginning.
Because this is the world of the fairy tale "The King on the White Horse" written by Grandfather Jacob when he was young!
Aleister has read that fairy tale.
This fairy tale obscurely records the secrets of the Heaven Punishment War and the Earth Rift War. He blends two completely different events together, so for those who only know one of them, it cannot be considered an allusion.
In the past, carnivores, led by giant red bears and golden lions, ruled the world. They weren't allies or subordinates, but together they shared the grasslands and preyed on other herbivores.
Eventually, the herbivores united. Led by leaders like the white horse and the green deer, they battled wits and courage against these powerful and ferocious carnivores, overcoming the strong with the weak... and ultimately defeated the ferocious giant bear, becoming the new king and restoring peace to the grasslands.
The golden lion's attitude is ambiguous.
He initially seemed to want to help the giant bear, but felt that the animals were too angry; he also wanted to lead the herbivores to defeat the giant bear and become the only king on the grassland - a much better monarch than the giant bear.
However, the lion got into an argument with the white horse, the protagonist of the fairy tale. The white horse thought the lion was too arrogant, while the lion thought the white horse was too stupid - he had never believed that the powerful giant bear could be defeated. In the end, the two beasts parted ways on bad terms.
Under the persuasion of the fox, the lion decided to show his tolerance and compassion to the outside world.
He opened a shelter and brought together animals that had no interest in fighting. He did eat meat, but as long as there were enough animals living there, he could eat only the dead, which would mean he would no longer kill.
He did succeed in gathering a group of animals that did not want to participate in the war.
But a mole sneaked in, disguised as a herbivore. He told the herbivores he was a herbivore, and the carnivores he was a carnivore. He became good friends with the others, but secretly ate the lion's aide, the fox. He was eventually discovered by the angry lion, who ate him as well.
After the battle on the other side ended, the Lion prepared for a decisive battle with the White Horse. However, the Mole emerged from the Lion's chest. Seeing the Lion dead, the Lion's army immediately broke apart and fled. The Mole, however, did not flee. He surrendered to the White Horse, but the White Horse, wary of the Mole's past actions, refused to accept him.
However, the white horse spared the mole's life because he had killed the lion, but he did not allow the mole to approach his kingdom and drove him out.
The red giant bear represents the giants and their god, the Supreme Heaven. The green deer represents the elves and the Eternal Church, while the white horse represents the Knight King Arthur before the Silver Crown Dragon ascended to power.
The golden lion represents the Hellasir Empire, the fox may be a demonologist, or a wizard or alchemist... and the mole is undoubtedly the Son of the Moon.
Because he had the strategy and knew who would win in the end...Aleister went straight to the King of White Horse.
Although the other party is Arthur's incarnation, he doesn't seem to know Aleister.
This means that the white horse is at least not "himself".
However, he still accepted Aleister's help and accepted the guidance of Aleister's self-proclaimed "evil wisdom" without hesitation.
"As long as we can defeat the more evil Giant Bear King, all means are permissible."
Bai Ma said so.
This was clearly the style of a Transcendent. Perhaps that was why he accepted Aleister's help.
In the first round of selection, three answers were given to the question "What story does this fairy tale tell?"
"The War of the Rift", "The War of Punishment", "Both".
——No one is stupid, so everyone chose "both".
Aleister wasn't sure how many people had entered the painting.
But everyone chose the same answer...which caused them to bump into each other as soon as they landed.
Although this old wizard in a "baboon" posture had never read this fairy tale... he was able to keenly discern the metaphor of the fairy tale itself during the first round of selection.
Then the most valuable camp among them is undoubtedly the Silver Crown Dragon represented by the "White Horse".
This is the future pillar god!
...As a result, the baboon told the white horse from the beginning that he had to be the advisor. As a wise sage, he would lead the chosen monarch to victory, and no one else could do it.
——You have a hammer with you, but can’t you see I’m standing on horseback?
You want to steal my contribution?
I was here first!
Because Aleister was not sure whether he could win an argument with a wizard who was good at philosophical thinking, Aleister decided to take action directly - to physically destroy the opponent's thoughts.
The Night Demon she summoned was also influenced by the art style of this world, becoming a crayon-style cartoon. It looked like a rather cute little crow, and its attack effects were also extremely simple.
The baboon wizard was not in a hurry. He simply raised his staff and summoned a blue light gate, then disappeared on the spot.
Bai Ma felt somewhat helpless at the quarrel between the two "wise men": "I don't think there's any need for you to argue. If you have better ideas, I'm willing to listen..."
"Not necessarily, Your Highness."
Aleister asked with a straight face, "Do you think he has hatred for the giant bear? Or do you think he came for victory, or for justice?"
"...Hmm. You're right."
The white horse thought for a moment, then chose to believe Aleister, who had arrived earlier. "He just wants to be the 'chosen monarch,' not to end the giant bear's rule. Honestly, I don't think it matters whether I become king or not... If the golden lion wants, I can actually let him be the new king."
"As a carnivore, he is much more rational than the giant bear. If I must have a carnivore as my monarch, I would choose him."
"I believe you, Your Highness."
Aleister spoke in a thin, foxy voice. "But only you can be king. Lions can't be trusted... If you don't believe me, let's go and see for ourselves."
On the other side, the wizard, who had already made plans to escape, teleported directly in front of the lion.
It was a huge sleeping lion. It was awakened by the sound of the baboon and its eyes opened a line.
"It is just as you expected, Your Majesty."
The baboon wizard said respectfully to the lion, "The white horse wants to be the new king."
"Hehe... He will fail."
The golden lion's voice was steady and low. "He can be my general, my adopted son... my queen. But he can't be a monarch. This is for everyone's benefit. No one would think that a herbivore could be a king. Not even a deer can do that—no one is truly afraid of a deer because they don't 'eat' others."
“People fear the giant bear, but are loyal to the bear king because he is ferocious enough.
"What can a white horse bring? He will only compete with the others for pastures. He eats the same food and lives in the same place as the subjects, so the people have no fear of him. So how can they obey him?"
"You are quite right, Your Majesty."
The baboon replied respectfully.
He sighed in his heart, knowing that he had no choice but to take another path.
I got up late! The update will be a little late, but the second chapter should be available around 3 o'clock!
