Eternal Night

Chapter 105 Spirituality and Pollution
There are two reasons why Wu Xianxiao acted so decisively.

First, his title has a negative effect. It will affect people who are hostile to him. The greater the hostility, the greater the impact. For example, the little wolf girl is hostile to him, but this hostility is not actually that great, so it only affects the little wolf girl and makes her think that he is very weak, so she wants to rob his meatballs. The little wolf girl initially attacked his leather pocket, but did not intend to hurt anyone.

This is also the reason why he feeds meatballs to the little wolf girl.

But among the people in front of him, except for the sub-giant and the priest, the others were extremely hostile to him, and the two biggest ones were the man in the woolen felt hat and the one-eyed red-haired woman. Their hostility was even strong enough to launch a direct attack.

This is the negative effect of the title Wu Xianxiao. It is not simply pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but it can test whether there is hostility towards him and how much hostility there is.

The second reason is the little wolf girl herself.

From her self-introduction, she was the princess of the White Wolf tribe, so she shouldn't be so miserable. The clothes she wore were obviously made from sackcloth bags for food, and there were bruises on her body.

All these indicate that there is something wrong with this village. The little wolf girl was probably robbed.

The evidence comes from the villagers in the distance who did not dare to come forward. Almost all of them looked pale, while the few people at the entrance of the village seemed to be living a comfortable life.

As Wu Xianxiao spoke, the sub-giant pulled himself out of the mud and said in a muffled voice: "I am not! I am a blacksmith! I collect food, furs, and minerals, sell weapons and armor, and repair farm tools!"

The priest also bowed slightly and said, "I am God's shepherd. I gather faith to strengthen this village and protect everyone in it from being swept by the chaos storm in exchange for food and a safe place to live. I am not a slave owner."

The ancient Greek man's face was pale, he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, more than a dozen villagers came running up behind him, shouting "slave owner, kill him" and so on. The ancient Greek man's face became even paler and uglier. He just ordered two granite stone men to guard him, but he was frightened by Wu Xianxiao's threat and dared not move.

Wu Xianxiao was not wrong in his guess.

This village is a place where the strong prey on the weak.

People from all over the world and all times randomly enter the Castlevania realm, which in itself is a huge chaos. There are barbarians from ancient times, weak scholars from modern times, and cyberpunks from the future. Their ideas vary greatly, and it is impossible for them to convince each other. In the end, what they have to submit to is actually power.

Just now at the entrance of the village, Wu Xianxiao saw with his own eyes a technologically advanced mecha being smashed to pieces by a hammer. The explosion was not much bigger than a firecracker. It was obvious that the technological weapons in this world had been badly weakened. According to the little wolf girl Daphne, once a non-spiritual thing encounters a supernatural being, it will be weakened or even ineffective.

This is really like taking Gaia weapons into the dream world. The lower the baseline reality, the smaller the power.

Therefore, in this Demon City area, the strongest person is definitely not the one who possesses scientific and technological knowledge and future creations, but the extraordinary people who come from ancient times, from mystery, and from the extraordinary system. Ordinary people who have the concept of equality, people from the future, etc., are weak in this world.

Of course, there may be extraordinary people with equal values, but the probability is too small.

When great power is attributed to oneself, it is too easy to lead to the idea of ​​the survival of the fittest. Even modern people and future people living in an equal world, once great power is attributed to themselves, it is very easy for them to lose themselves in the power, not to mention extreme situations like the Castlevania area.

Therefore, Wu Xianxian confirmed in a very short time that the people who drove him were slave owners.

They treat other weak people as slaves and oppress them!

At this time, the villagers ran out of the village, shouting angrily around the ancient Greek man from afar.

The ancient Greek man said with a pale face: "Although I have gained the income from your labor, I have also protected you, given you a place to live, and made you safe. This is in accordance with Athenian law! I have a clear conscience!!"

The villagers were still noisy, and although some of them seemed rather indifferent, most of them obviously didn't care.

Wu Xianxiao couldn't help but complain, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe slaves and slave owners in such a refreshing and refined way. Satan would have to tattoo you on his body."

The ancient Greek man looked at Wu Xianxiao with resentment, then immediately lowered his head and said, "Let me go, I am willing to give up all the wealth here."

"What are you thinking about?"

Wu Xianxiao scratched his nostrils and walked towards the ancient Greek man step by step.

The villagers quickly made way for them. The ancient Greek man was filled with despair and immediately shouted, "This is unfair. They are all mortals. Without our protection, they can't even survive a chaos storm. Why, why..."

Before he finished speaking, the two granite puppets were shattered. Wu Xianxiao did not attack his body, but blew up his extraordinary puppets. Now he is no different from an ordinary person, unless he is given time to create new puppets. Wu Xianxiao spread his hands and said, "I don't understand what you said, but I know that you attacked me first, so isn't it normal for me to fight back?"

The next moment, the villagers rushed forward and beat the ancient Greek man into a pulp...

That night, the villagers sang and danced, and carried out food from the rooms and warehouses of the three dead "nobles", which they could not eat or were reluctant to eat on weekdays. Nearly a hundred villagers lit three bonfires, eating and drinking happily while imagining the future.

The man from the future who was controlling the mecha was named Yi Shanjiu, and he seemed to be a chatterbox. While drinking sour beer, he pulled Wu Xianxiao and said, "Luckily you came, otherwise I would have been forced by them to farm and become a serf."

According to Yishanjiu's self-description, he had only been in the Demon City area for a few days. He finally found this inhabited village and immediately planned to join it.

However, although he entered the village, he was immediately ordered by these extraordinary people to farm and was assigned to a very dilapidated thatched hut.

At first, Yishanjiu did not act immediately. After talking with the villagers who were farming, he confirmed that except for the blacksmith giant and the priest who were clean and did not oppress them, the other three extraordinary people had already regarded themselves as protectors, but were actually slave owners, exploiting all mortals who entered the Demon City area.

It was impossible for Yishanjiu to allow himself to be a slave. He had a mecha parked in the nearby woods, so he took advantage of the daytime farming time to drive the mecha, intending to let these ancient natives see the power of technology.

But the result was that the mecha was flattened by the blacksmith's hammer.

"...In fact, there are ancient myths recorded in the library. It is said that a few hundred years ago, some special humans possessed extraordinary powers, which were superior to technology. But I never believed it before. I thought it was just ancient feudal superstition. First, extraordinary powers do not exist, but how can the power of technology be weak?"

Yi Shanjiu sighed and said, "Now I truly believe that the power of science and technology will be suppressed by supernatural power."

The little wolf girl Daphne was also sitting next to them. She was eating a skewer of grilled steak and said as she ate, "As long as the power of technology does not encounter the spread of spirituality, its power is still very strong against nature or people without extraordinary powers."

Wu Xianxiao and Yi Shanjiu said almost in unison: "What exactly is spirituality?"

Daphne shook her head and said, "I can't explain it clearly. I only know that spirituality is the source of supernatural power. Without spirituality, there would be no supernatural power in the world. By the way, the light you just showed was spirituality, and it was a highly condensed spirituality with the imprint of life. If it is upgraded to a higher level, it will transform from spirituality to divinity, which is incredible."

Wu Xianxiao and Yi Shanjiu were both confused and had no idea what Daphne wanted to express.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded: "Let me explain."

The two turned around and saw the priest sitting next to a few people with a glass of sour beer. He smiled at the villagers around him and raised his glass from time to time to signal to these villagers.

Wu Xianxiao said: "It seems that the priest takes good care of them on weekdays, so why doesn't the priest help them free themselves from slavery?"

The priest said helplessly: "I have never climbed the Holy Name. I am just a shepherd of the gods. How can I be a match for three extraordinary people? Don't think that they were easily killed by you. That's because you are too strong. Your flesh and blood have been trained to almost the level of a saint. They are just short-sighted and can't see it. Otherwise, they would have knelt down to you directly. Do you believe it?"

Wu Xianxiao didn't say anything, but just nodded to the priest.

The priest smiled and said, "The so-called spirituality is actually just a name for the activation of chaos."

Daphne immediately cried out, "You're lying! Chaos is the enemy of all life in the world, and spirituality is the force that fights against chaos. How can it be called anything else?"

The priest spread his hands helplessly and said, "This is what God said. Even if you ask me, I don't know."

At this time, a villager nearby shouted, "Father, you are lying here. I come from... According to people in the future, it should be the Renaissance. Although I am a painter, I graduated from a seminary. God has never said that spirituality is another name for chaos."

The priest said helplessly, "Because this is a forbidden book, only extraordinary people like me who are qualified as shepherds, or people who are climbing the holy name and approaching or reaching the saint level can read it."

"In the classics, chaos is called pollution."

“And spirituality, and even all the supernatural, is actually the product of life diluting and activating it through its own intellect.”

"So...spirituality is chaos, spirituality is pollution!"
