Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 834 Animal World
Aleister originally had no intention of fighting directly with other promoted people.

The main thing 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 when they met...but Aleister really had no conflicts with them. She could just sit back and watch the fight, then run to the side to do the task with peace of mind.

Even for the extraordinary people who have transcended the Tao, killing should not be the goal. In other words, it is precisely because they have transcended the Tao 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 contains the secrets of the Heaven Punishment War and the Earth Rift War. It combines two completely different things 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 were not allies or subordinates to each other, but they shared the entire grassland and preyed on other herbivores.

Finally, the herbivores united together. Led by the white horse, green deer and other leaders, they fought wits and courage with these powerful and ferocious carnivores, and finally defeated the ferocious giant bear, became the new king, and brought peace back to the grassland.

The golden lion's attitude is ambiguous.

He initially seemed to want to help the giant bear, but then he 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 quarreled 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 did not think the powerful giant bear could be defeated from the beginning. In the end, the two beasts parted unhappily.

Under the persuasion of the fox, the lion decided to show his tolerance and compassion to the outside world.

He opened a shelter and let the animals who had no intention of participating in the fight gather here. He did want to eat meat... but as long as there were enough animals living here, he could only eat the old dead animals, which would mean no more killing.

He did succeed in gathering a group of animals that did not want to participate in the war.

But a mole sneaked in here disguised as a herbivore. He told the herbivores that he was a herbivore, and told the carnivores that he was a carnivore, so he became good friends with the others, but secretly ate the lion's aide, the fox. In the end, he was discovered by the angry lion, and the lion ate him too.

After the war on the other side ended, the lion was going to fight the white horse. However, at this moment, the mole came out of the lion's chest. When the lion's army saw that the lion was dead, they immediately broke apart and fled. The mole did not flee, but surrendered to the white horse. However, the white horse was wary of what the mole had done before and did not accept him.

However, the white horse spared the mole's life because he had killed the lion, but he did not allow him to approach his kingdom and drove him out.

The red giant bear refers to the giants and their god, the Supreme Heaven. The green deer refers to the elves and the Eternal Church, and the white horse is the Knight King Arthur before the Silver Crown Dragon was promoted.

The golden lion represents the Herasil 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 at hand and knew who would win in the end...so Aleister went straight to the King of White Horse.

Although the other party was Arthur's incarnation, he didn't seem to know Aleister.

This means that the white horse is at least not "his real self".

However, he still accepted Aleister's help and accepted the guidance of Aleister's so-called "evil wisdom" without hesitation.

"As long as we can defeat the more evil Giant Bear King, all means are permissible."

White Horse said so.

This is clearly the style of a Transcendent. Perhaps that is why he accepted the help from Aleister.

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 they all chose the same answer... which caused them to bump into each other as soon as they landed.

Although this old wizard in the "baboon" posture had never read this fairy tale...but in the first round of selection, he also keenly discerned the metaphor of the fairy tale itself.

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 at 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? Can’t you see I’m standing on a horse?
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 mind.

The Night Demon she summoned was also influenced by the style of this world and turned into a crayon-style cartoon. It looked like a 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 helpless about the quarrel between the two "wise men": "I don't think there is any need for you to quarrel. If you have better opinions, I will listen to them..."

"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 and chose to believe Aleister who came earlier: "He just wants to be the 'chosen monarch', not to end the rule of the giant bear. To be honest, I don't care whether I become the 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 the monarch, I would choose it."

"I believe you, Your Highness."

Aleister made a thin fox voice: "But only you can be the king. Lions cannot be trusted... If you don't believe it, let's go and see."

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. He was awakened by the sound of the baboon and his 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 the good of everyone. Because no one would think that a herbivore can become a king. Even a deer can't do this - no one is really afraid of a deer because he doesn't 'eat' other people.

“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 others for grass - he eats the same food and lives in the same place as his subjects, so people will not be afraid of him at all. 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.
