Chapter 283 Survival
Beiyue was not angry either, with a smile on her face and looked at the crow on the side: "What should he do?"
Cui Ming did not answer, stood up, walked to the crow, handed the barbecue to the crow, and the crow took it: "Thank you, look at the color of the baking." He ate a piece, and it was really good, nodded and expressed his gratitude.
Cui Ming smiled and said, "Crow, give me a reason not to kill you." Cui Ming admired the crow very much and didn't want to kill him, but objective needs are more important than subjective feelings.
"I have nothing to give you." The crow said helplessly: "But I want to survive."
Cui Ming sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry."
The crow asked: "Do you kill me because of my strength or because I am a member of the Fire Sect?"
"Your strength." Cui Ming replied: "You are too difficult to defeat. I can't let this opportunity go. I can't keep a strong enemy like you."
The crow said: "I can set up a magic array called the initial magic array."
"I know." Cui Ming nodded: "The Alliance has such a magic circle. When a wanted criminal has a very violent destructive mentality, the Alliance will execute him. There are two options for execution. One is to execute him directly, and the other is to conduct initial purgatory. Stay in the initial magic circle for a day and a night. Not only can the Force be used anymore, but people can only lie in bed for the rest of their lives and cannot take care of themselves. And they have extremely poor immunity, they are prone to illness and death."
The crow nodded: "The principle of the initial magic array is to destroy the body so as to achieve the goal of not being able to use any force. Not only will the body be destroyed, but the nerves of the hands and feet will be destroyed, and it may even cause internal organs to damage. If you are lucky, after purgatory, only your head will be clear and your body will be completely uncommand. You can eat and drink. It is equivalent to paralysis all over the body. If you are not lucky, then there is no need to say that you will die directly in the magic array. I hope Cui Ming, you can give me this opportunity."
Cui Ming looked at the crow: "Is it that important to live?" He felt that the crow had a strong will to survive, but he could not see his fear of death.
The crow replied: "I have never been proud of my strength because I know that no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to fight against the Force Alliance. I hope I can leave my thoughts. My ideal is to win respect for the people of the Fire Cultivation country, which does not require strength."
"Your goal is difficult. As long as one day the Fire Doctrine treats outsiders as pagans, it is impossible to win respect. Because the Fire Sect first is hostile to outsiders, and the outsiders will at most surrender to the tyranny of the Fire Sect and will not respect the Fire Sect."
The crow looked at the sea: "I know, so one of my goals is to change the teachings of the Fire Church and tolerate and respect the beliefs of outsiders. The Fire Church is like the religion of God, Buddhism and other religions. In the early years, both the God Church and Buddhism were very xenophobic, but because of the needs of the rulers, they continued to reform in order to meet the interests of the rulers. I hope the Fire Church can also carry out a reform."
Cui Ming didn't quite understand: "Since that's the case, why do you want to develop a semi-orc practitioner?"
The crow smiled, laughed loudly, and looked at Cui Ming: "Cui Ming, you are too young. Politics is a game. The Dawn Empire wants us to be strong, but we don't want us to be too strong. So when we are too strong, he will join forces with Twilight to suppress us. When we are too weak, he will secretly support us. Let us restrain Twilight. In order to ensure that this century is still the Dawn Century. As you said, the Fire Century will reform, who will not agree? The first one that does not agree is the Dawn Empire. Or do you think Twilight has not contacted the Fire Century for thousands of years? Haven't discussed ending the confrontation? Why is there a World War III?"
The crow said: "There is only one end to implementing the Fire Cult Reform now. The Fire Cult nation is divided, internal strife, civil strife, and civil war. Look at the reform of the God Cult a thousand five hundred years ago, which caused a bloody storm. When can the Fire Cult reform be carried out? When the reformists hold heavy troops, they have the right to speak and public opinion. For this purpose, we need practitioners who value both quantity and quality. We need to win the war and gain the trust of the people of the Fire Cult, and then we can carry out reforms."
Cui Ming digested it for a while and said, "What do you mean is that you must fight Twilight once?"
"Yes, we have never won for thousands of years, and even our holy mountain is occupied by Twilight. If we can take back the land near the holy mountain and defeat Twilight once, we will be regarded as a hero."
Cui Ming said: "If the Fire Cultivator participates in the war, then the Force Alliance will also participate in the war. It will definitely be a world war."
"No, it's not this kind of war. It's a war for practitioners. The Fire Cult challenges the Force Alliance. If we win, we will return our lost land to us."
"What if you lose?"
"Cece the land to Twilight." The crow said: "After winning, we can carry out the Reformation, making the Fire Cult not aggressive, and reducing the xenophobicity of the Fire Cult. If we lose, we also have to carry out the Reformation. Reform religions as losers will be very stressed and difficult, but it will be an opportunity."
Cui Ming said: "I'll just ask, is the group of Fire Sect practitioners the final word?"
The crow was silent for a long time: "The position of the Pope of the Fire Cultivation fell into the hands of practitioners hundreds of years ago. For hundreds of years, practitioners have been in the position of the Pope. The Pope who appears in front of the world is just a puppet. The Pope and the practitioners are enough to have an overwhelming impact on the Fire Cultivation Alliance."
"but……"
"But... people's thoughts cannot be exactly the same. Yes, there are differences within the Fire Cult. I and the Head of the Communist Party have the same ideas. Unfortunately, the Pope and ours have some differences. However, the Pope is at least consistent with our goals at present and develop Fire Cultivators."
"Haha!" Cui Ming laughed and laughed. You said your ideal for a long time, but it turned out that it was a fantasy. You don't even have the power. All the practitioners are in the hands of the pope. You're making trouble.
The crow was unmoved and said, "I am an orphan in a war-torn country held by the charity orphanage run by the former Pope. He told me his ideal, his ideal is to make the Fire Cult like the God Cult and Buddhism accept everyone. From the perspective of details, many of the ideas of the Fire Cult are much more advanced than the God Cult. For example, opposing personality worship, the God Cult still retains personality worship and is used by some dictators."
Cui Ming reached out and interrupted: "Your leader is the former pope?"
"…Yes.” The crow sank his head.
"He was abolished as the Pope?"
"Yes."
“Because he wants to carry out the Reformation?”
"Yes." The crow sighed: "Politicians don't want the Reformation because they have a group of believers who are completely blindly following their religion. Looking at the history of the Eternal Planet, you will find that in countries dominated by the Divine and Buddhism, there are often peasant uprisings. After foreign enemies invade and destroy the country, the people abandoned their original countries and served foreign enemies specifically."
Well, this is true. Thousands of years ago, there was a country called the Song Dynasty. Its productivity accounted for 80% of the global productivity and its population was more than 40 million. However, the country was destroyed by the nomadic people and countless people were massacred. The remaining surviving people respected the nomadic people as kings. Even now, the people in this country still regard the heads of the nomadic people as heroes, and promoted their actions of fighting everywhere, siege cities and plundering land, destroying civilizations, and setting fires as successful achievements, and were proud of them.
The crow said: "There has never been a peasant uprising in the Fire Cultivation country and will never be destroyed unless the foreign enemies kill all the people. Why? Because of religion. Therefore, the powerful and politicians must maintain stability, their own interests, and the lower classes must protect their interests. This requires religion. In some poor Fire Cultivation countries, people live a hard life, and the lives of the powerful are still very luxurious, but the domestic situation is very stable."
The crow said: "The reform failed because the pope did not expect that his daughter would betray him. The pope's daughter thought the pope was a traitor to God. At that time, I was too young and had too little power. The pope's daughter won the support of the Fire Cultivators with her speech, imprisoned the pope, and with the support of a few ordinary practitioners, the pope's daughter became the new pope."
Cui Ming said: "Then where does your ideal come from?"
The crow said: "Because the orcs you mentioned are loyal to me, Cui Ming, you will not have any benefit to the Eternal Alliance if you kill me."
Cui Ming said: "I don't agree with this sentence."
The crow thought, nodded: "Well, maybe I can agree to this, I have mastered a small number of orc practitioners, and the proportion is not high, and only one out of the four. My goal and the new pope are to win a battle first, and what we want to do is the same."
Cui Ming thoughtfully said: "Once you succeed, you will assassinate the new pope to frame the enemy and get the support of the practitioners. If the war fails, you can also assassinate the pope and push the mistake to the new pope. And the old pope is still alive, and he has many supporters."
The crow did not admit it or deny it: "Master Bei helped me build two amazing equipment, one is a hand crossbow, which can attack rapidly and forcefully from a long distance. No one can block this hand crossbow with huge power and extremely fast firing speed, except... Buffon's shield. This is a big mistake. The new pope was eager for quick success and instant benefits and sent the rat out. I regretted not stopping her."
Cui Ming asked: "There is another treasure that is the amulet of the undead?"
The crow nodded: "But I won't tell you the ability of this treasure, nor will I use it in the battle with the Force."
Cui Ming said: "Crow, you are not sure to control the orcs. If I let you go, you help the new pope develop orcs, and then you die, or your conspiracy is explored, or other reasons, then the new pope will start a war."
The crow said: "You will not change anything even if you remove me. You will only make the orc practitioners who were originally loyal to me and in the future loyal to me loyal to the new pope. If you let me go, I may change the Fire Sect. If you don't let me go, it's only a matter of time before the world war."
Cui Ming looked at the crow and said after a long time: "You have mastered the technology of creating orc practitioners."
