Death Benefit

Noel followed the general towards the Dragon's Lair.

 The place where the Dragon's Lair is located is called Linoldi, which is the name of the cursed place in the Elvish language.

 The history of this area cannot be studied at this time.

I only know that there have been too many wars in this area, and everything was dyed red with blood, and disasters followed closely, as if the lamentations of the past still linger in the air.

If famine had not forced people to look for new and fertile land, then it is very likely that no one would have come to this land for thousands of years.

And now, Linnuodi is once again facing disaster.

 This is a pure country of dragon-blooded people in modern times.

They exclude the existence of all other races and close the door to the country. The main way of cultivation in the country is still the cultivation of bloodline power.

 Before this, they had never joined United International, and it is said that they did not join Legend either.

 It is also extremely repulsive to the power of general souls.

  In short, it is one of the few countries that is ‘completely neutral’.

 In the past, the United International and Legendary States were fighting against each other. For this small, completely neutral country, they mainly focused on wooing them and did not interfere too much.

However, this situation has been completely broken now. People began to pour into this small country crazily, and then unscrupulously destroyed the order here, looking for the power of the dragon.

 Then, these people all began to target the recalcitrant chief priest of Linnuodi.

 Stubbornness is a mental state, that is, the mentality of treating play as one's main business.

 They have no other jobs, and it is difficult or unwilling to bring economic benefits to their “main business”.

Even if some people lose all their money, they still want to continue playing.

 Luxury goods, antiques, antiques, and all kinds of strange and eccentric things are what they pursue.

It is difficult to trace when this culture originated. We only know that this group of die-hards are relatively respected in this country.

 The entire country is in a relatively primitive state. The person who dominates the operation of the country is not even the leader of the country, and there is no corresponding institution, but a very convincing person, that is, the stubborn priest.

Hunter will have competitions every once in a while to see who can play better.

The winner for ten consecutive years can become the head priest and a convincing individual in the country, presiding over all the affairs of the country.

 This situation is simply unheard of for other people.

 The chief priest changes every ten years, and the previous priest becomes the elder.

 They are responsible for following up on domestic people’s livelihood and developing agriculture and various luxury goods-related industries.

 When the outside forces came in, most people surrendered directly, and they also "surrendered", completely ignoring these people wreaking havoc on this land and still "playing".

“Are these people fools?” Next to the general, a guy in a black windbreaker frowned as he watched those dragon-blooded people wearing luxury goods, dancing in the street and walking on the catwalk.

“No, this is the unique culture they have formed after being invaded countless times, that is, they do not resist in the face of invasion.” At this time, Noel said.

 Noel himself has good knowledge. When he was studying weapons design, he also studied the war history of various countries.

 Because weapons must be used in war after all.

 For a weapon to be effective, it must be on a suitable battlefield, and not just powerful enough.

 Linnuodi is a country where wars often occur.

 This country is extremely xenophobic and lives a simple primitive life inside.

 Foreign invaders often invade this country and kill and exploit the people of this country.

 The local residents, after resisting several times and being unable to do anything, gradually formed this culture of not resisting but just having fun.

The original intention is to use all your strength to entertain yourself, without caring about the war and death that will come tomorrow or soon.

 This culture already existed in earlier times, but it only grew rapidly with the emergence of invasion wars.

It is said that in the earliest period, Linnuodi was the residence of elves, so it had the Elvish name Linnuodi.

 Later, a large number of dragon-blooded slaves appeared here.

These slaves did not rebel against their slave owners and become independent like those with dragon blood in the outside world. They chose to live in ruins.

　If you don’t fight back when you hit me, you won’t retaliate when you scold me. If you want to kill me, then kill me. If you want me to work, I will work hard every day.

 After a surrender, some things happened, and the elves finally gave up on this land.

 So this group of slaves of the dragon-blooded slaves became the masters of this country.

 They developed later and became the prototype of Linnuodi.

This land is quite fertile, but it seems to have a curse. After the invaders occupy this place, they will always retreat after a period of time for various reasons.

For example, the locals eat the crops produced here without any problems, but outsiders will suffer from various diseases if they eat them.

 Or various plagues, poisonous insects, or some weird things.

 This land is deeply hostile to outsiders.

 Hence, the longest period of invaders occupying this land was three years, and the shortest period was only three days.

 The locals rarely resisted, and the stubborn culture became stronger and stronger at this time.

　Today someone invaded, but they still didn't care. They were enjoying everything and didn't care about the intruders at all.

 They will cooperate with you no matter what you want to do. Even if you want to take their lives, they will just smile and continue playing. "This is their foolish happiness," the general said with a grin.

"The curse of this land seems to have been brought about by the Dragon's Lair. Today this curse will definitely disappear, and without the curse to drag it down, they will have nothing left."

For this unique culture to be formed, there must be a corresponding geographical environment.

Without the special rejection of outsiders like the Cursed Land, this kind of surrender will only make it easier for invaders to exploit.

Noel looked at these dragon-blooded people with a trace of contemptuous pity in his eyes.

 In his opinion, these people are similar to those who are the so-called true self.

 Immerse yourself in your own little happiness, make no resistance to the invasion, and fully cooperate.

 The final result is that the foundation for survival is destroyed.

 What is their foundation? It’s this society, it’s this environment, it’s this world.

 After extension, it is history and timeline.

It is the existence of the God of history that guarantees all of this, so everything exists.

 Hulu Taoist people are intruders, this is a fact that will not change.

Now that these people are helping the Calabash Taoists and defeating the God of History for the so-called path of true self, the foundation of their existence will be destroyed.

“Then, there will be people like these dragon-blooded ones in Linnuodi who will be immersed in this so-called happiness and all perish.”

He saw a man from Linnuodi. His wife and family were killed by the invaders, but he still sang loudly and danced hard. He looked very happy, but the tears in the corners of his eyes could not be hidden.

 Isn’t he grieved?

 Grieved, but there was nothing he could do.

 Happiness that is weak will only be deprived of you at will.

The way of the Self, which is based on happiness, is just fooling everyone in the world.

 This is what Noel thinks.

 Only order can guarantee happiness, and the God of history has constructed all order.

Him alone is the future of their world.

　　The authorities are too weak and too short-sighted, and they only see a little freedom provided by the way of the true self.

 Ignored the foundation of everything, which is why it caused such a huge chaos, created such a huge disaster, and caused his family to die in the conflict.

“Forget it, don’t waste time in these places, hurry up and find the entrance to the Dragon’s Lair.” Noel shouted.

Although he despised these people who gave up resistance, he was not willing to see killings happening in front of him.

The general also looked at Noel with a smile and chose to nod in agreement.

Following the general's order, his men gave up continuing to oppress the local residents, and instead quickly searched for the recalcitrant priests or the group of elders.

These people must have mastered something in order to maintain the local situation for a long time.

 Otherwise, after entering modern times, their tradition would have been overturned long ago. After all, not everyone can endure this kind of life and pursue "happiness" in a sloppy way.

Rather than being like this now, the soul system has not even been incorporated and bloodline cultivation is still going on.

Noel always believes that environment determines the basis of everything.

 If this kind of culture can be born in this place, there must be an environment that restricts the emergence of other cultures.

Now it seems that bloodline practice has some advantages in this country, so it continues.

 This advantage is most likely related to the Dragon's Lair.

 In addition to the generals, there are many people who are also looking for the existence of the stubborn priest. The dragon's lair is most likely underground.

 But in this situation, digging is too time-consuming.

It would be better to directly find local people who know some information, enter directly, and then complete the capture of the dragon power.

 Because of the foreshadowing of the God of History, it is said that people here know more or less about the specific method of liberating Dragon's Lair.

 And they all have the confidence that by finding the dragon's lair, they can break through the restrictions and completely seize the dragon's power.

 Among these people, Noel naturally has his own purpose.

 He also wants to obtain the power of the dragon.

 It's just that compared to the generals and others, his strength is still too weak.

 He has only completed one legendary deed so far and has acquired the corresponding abilities.

　　【System Explosion: Being able to observe the weaknesses of a system, and target this weakness, generate corresponding bombs, and detonate them according to one's own thoughts. 】

 A fairly good extraordinary ability, but that’s all it is.

 If performed well, it can paralyze an entire system.

 However, both the observation of weaknesses and the installation of bombs take time and can easily be interfered with.

 The real-time combat effectiveness is not very strong.

 First update, sorry.
