With a campfire, there will naturally be a tradition of walking around it.

Once there, Aaron didn't circle around for long before slowly retreating to a slightly farther spot; he preferred to be a spectator.

He couldn't tell whether he was fickle or not—no, that's a slightly different way of describing it.

It seems that he is only interested in novel things that he has never seen before. After experiencing them, he doesn't say that he dislikes them, but rather that he has completed a plan, checked it off, and is now ready to seek out and experience new things.

Aaron's contemplation of the soul led him to examine his own behavioral patterns.

If these words were spoken to his father, he might receive the following response:

The comment was, "It sounds like a critically ill patient listing their life plans before they die."

Aaron chuckled at himself, found a tree trunk to sit on, and watched some impromptu performances take the stage.

A man picked up a tree branch to use as a sword and shouted loudly:

"The fame of Macedonia is known to all! Our swords can cut through the throats of Persia and pierce the chests of Athens!"

"Even the renowned Spartans, their legs would be severed by a single sword strike before they could even kick us!"

"In my opinion, King Philip should give the order!"

"As long as he gives the order, we will take back the world and crown it with the name of Macedonia!"

The surrounding audience joined in applause and cheers; the radical trend left by the late emperor could not be reversed by the new king in just a few dozen days.

The people of Macedonia remained immersed in the optimistic expectation that if they marched south, they could easily defeat Athens and Sparta.

Let's see in a hundred or two hundred years; it's not feasible now.

Aaron thought to himself that he didn't mind these impromptu performances; he found them quite interesting.

He calculated the time and realized he had eaten and drunk his fill, so he was ready to go home.

But then another person wearing a cloak jumped out:

"Persian tigers lurk, their mountains are treacherous and their seas are far, like wolves and eagles, a great threat to our hearts!"

“We were once enslaved by them, and even though we escaped, the north and south are still under the reach of the Persian Empire.”

"War! We need a war to wash away Macedonia's shame!"

"War! War! We need it!"

What is the best liquid to wash away shame?

"Blood! Let the enemy bleed, let our hands be stained with the enemy's blood!"

This person's performance was clearly more professional, and his tone became deeper and hoarse, full of emotion:

"Submit a petition to the king, requesting the annexation of the witch's mother country, Ifik."

"Hang them all!"

"Let us march eastward again, capture the two port cities along the Mediterranean coast invaded by Persia, and let what is lost there not be our humiliation, but the blood of the enemy!"

"From this point on, we will surround Athens and Sparta, force them to submit, unify the north and south, and establish an empire!"

"We must use the blood of our enemies to forge the borders of our nation!"

Aaron was getting annoyed. If you're going to fight, then fight. If you're going to describe your plan, then describe it properly.

Why must we bring up "blood"?

Athens also had many learned young people who wanted to promote their political philosophy through public appearances and lectures.

The operational plans mentioned by this person are all feasible.

But constantly emphasizing blood is really abnormal.

Could it be that this person is a theatrical actor whose lines used to carry too much symbolic meaning, and he can't shake the habit?

Chapter 341 Kane's Grand Plan (3K)

Aaron almost wanted to pounce on him right then and there and take the hooded "performer" away.

We cannot continue to let him spread his fallacies and mislead the public.

This person is neither Sibey nor Redo, and is not very tall.

Judging from the rise and fall of the hood, there is no trace of pointed ears sticking out.

Unless the other party has used some kind of psionic disguise, but if they are disguised, I will definitely find out.

In other words, the other party is a human who believes in the image of "blood hands".

Blood Hands

The most essential manifestation of war is harm and killing.

Therefore, their hands inevitably become stained with blood.

(Khorne: That's right, that's exactly what I told your brother. But he actually quoted scriptures to tell me that war is a way to achieve goals, not just for killing. In the end, he started repeating himself. Come and talk to your brother!)

He remembered the information he had received from his mother.

The tattoos on the bodies of those worshippers of the God of War depicted red monsters wielding sharp swords.

The head of the figure is either wearing a pointed helmet or has sharp horns, and it is a ferocious, laughing god.

Blood that would never dry flow from his hands.

This is definitely not Ares.

Ares isn't that perverted.

It seemed he had to do something bad. Aaron searched around and found a stick that hadn't been burned as firewood.

Then, while quietly waiting for the party to end, and as the crowd clamored for the king to declare war the next day, I silently followed the mysterious hooded man.

When you people do bad things, you can easily show your faces. The more you wear a hood, the more it gives people the feeling that you are up to some kind of conspiracy.

Aaron lived up to his first job's ability. Although it was a bit difficult to keep up with the other party, who showed physical strength that was completely beyond ordinary people, he still managed to keep up and made his way to a wine cellar in the city.

My father said that before people got used to boiling water, most of their need for clean drinking water came from wine.

Some businesses offer pre-designed cellars for a fee, which is much more convenient than the average person having to dig a cellar in their own home.

If these merchants had progressed a little further, for example, by monopolizing the raw materials and transportation for brewing, they would have evolved into the earliest form of factories. They would have also learned about market economics and, in conjunction with Hayek's strategic guidance, become the dominant force in the industry.

This is the beginning of an economy!

Unfortunately, they are currently limited to renting out venues. Businessmen still believe that luxury goods are the most profitable and have not yet seen the terrible benefits that monopolizing consumer goods industries could bring.

"Are you treating fruit wine like blood?"

Aaron muttered to himself, in the darkness, the color of the wine did indeed resemble dark, somber pools of blood.

After navigating the winding depths of the cellar, Aaron took a hooded suit from a nearby shelf, put it on, and slipped inside.

No matter how cult-like someone is, they still need a place to wash and dry their clothes; this is unavoidable.

Aaron changed his clothes and went deeper inside. The cellar was no longer divided into two underground levels, but a partitioned level had been opened up in the middle, which required climbing down a ladder. Normally, one would not notice it by walking up the stairs.

He climbed down the stairs and landed, where he saw several bright campfires standing in different places, so he didn't feel dark at all.

Some people were still wearing hoods, while many others were openly showing their faces.

Several people who were nearby heard the noise, glanced back, and then turned away, no longer paying attention.

The people in the venue were not a unified whole, but rather each had their own small groups.

This is also why Aaron was not questioned.

They whispered and talked amongst themselves until one of them stepped out.

"Fellow countrymen! Fellow countrymen, listen to me!"

"The Holy Testament of the Great Kane has arrived!"

A bright shout came from the center of the venue, full of energy, belonging to a former theatrical actor, but not the person he had followed.

No, you people who choose people to be spies or those who incite others to engage in evil worship, all like to find people who can perform?

Because speaking loudly during a speech can be persuasive?

Aaron thought to himself that he really needed to find some time to study how to use this kind of passionate speech.

But you absolutely must not learn from Marum.

He slipped a little further into the area and saw more "Kane" decorations.

Kane?

This must be the name of that Bloodhand God of War.

God, the god of the pointy-eared man?

According to my father, these pointy-eared people have always regarded humans as monkeys.

Aaron continued to listen, and the people around him all turned their attention to him.

"I, Nasri, have heard the will of the Great Kane! Silence!"

Kane said: "People should be violent and bloodthirsty, using the blood of their enemies to soothe their inner turmoil, so that they may be free from such turmoil."

"People always tell us to endure. But the great Kane was different. He admonished us that when faced with injustice or resentment, what should we do? Only kill!"

"If the system convicts us of a crime, at least when we kill the other party, the injustice in our hearts has been quelled!"

"The ultimate peace is to kill our way through, break down the system, and create a world where everyone can calm their anger!"

"Imagine if all the Persians were dead, and all the Athenians, Spartans, and people from every other country in the world were dead!"

"Macedonia will naturally become the ruler of the world! And to achieve all this, there must be war, war!"

Nasri's statement is utterly absurd, but it must be said that he has no need to explain whether his theory is correct or not.

Although killing everyone would indeed solve all the problems that arose in human society.

But it also lost all the recognition that human society brought it.

It wasn't that humans destroyed humans, but rather that a non-human monster was created.

Even more frightening is that this inhuman state cannot be preserved indefinitely.
