Chapter 529 527. The tranquility before the storm (please give me a monthly ticket~)

Author: Clouds in the Starry Sky

Marne followed Zasna to see the spear called "Chasing the Sun". Although they were in a treasure trove of extremely high alert at that time, they could not really get close to the weapon.

Even if you look at Mar En from a distance, you can feel the extraordinaryness of the rusty spear. Mar En can only use his naked eyes to confirm that this thing must be a V-level weapon, and he also remembered the way to the treasure house.

When visiting the weapon, Marne felt confident of snatching it, which means that even if his plan in the Titan ruins failed, in the worst case, he could just steal and chase the sun and run away.

Of course, Marn didn't plan to run away with just a V-level weapon, so when he visited the weapon, he didn't say much or do anything meaningless, but instead asked Zasna to learn about the history of the Titans.

After mentioning this request, Zasna brought him to the largest book floating island.

Book Island is actually closer to social and entertainment venues in the Ninth City, because both the Flesh Titan and the Mechanical Titan have other ways to read text and receive and browse information. Most of them will implant some mechanical organs like miniature personal terminals and directly exchange information with the Titan's internal database.

However, although this thing looks like a more advanced computer and can be connected to the Internet in theory, these Titans do not have the infrastructure like the Internet, which seems to be the same as their inability to communicate remotely.

According to Zasna's explanation, this is because many long-distance high-speed information transmission will be hindered. Therefore, today's Thirteen Cities still retain the ancient messenger. For some reasons she also explains that it seems that all information carried by creatures will not be affected in this way, so they will also retain the profession of messenger.

That's true. For them, the implanted organs are more like some kind of information storage device. Titans do not hold networking devices like mobile phones like humans today. Therefore, libraries can still exist as social and entertainment venues. After all, some Titans want to read with their eyes in person.

However, it is completely different in cities where mechanical Titans are the main ones. Because implanting personal terminals is as simple as drinking water for mechanical Titans, almost every mechanical Titan will implant personal terminals.

He has read a lot of books in the past few days, and his understanding of the ancient Titan civilization finally barely caught up with the level he had known before, and he also had enough understanding of the post-Titan civilization composed of mechanical and flesh-and-blood Titans.

The closer the Titan history recorded in the book is, the clearer the closer the Titan civilization is. The information on the ancient Titan civilization and the post-Titan civilization stage when they got up early are relatively vague, but it may be different from the situation on land. Marx and Eng vaguely realized that the closer the history is, the clearer it is not because the past history has been lost, but because they deliberately concealed something.

Based on these books and the information learned before, Marx and Entrepreneurs were able to find a basic historical line. The original Thirteen Kings woke up a long time ago, and then it seemed that they had experienced a particularly chaotic era, which roughly mentioned that the Thirteen Kings created the flesh and blood and mechanical titans through ancient facilities. Next, there seemed to be various internal and external wars, and then something major happened.

This incident directly caused the Thirteen Kings to fall asleep again, and it was not until a thousand years ago that they woke up again, established the current Titan civilization, and gradually formed what Marx and Eng are seeing now.

In fact, nothing is particularly important in the past thousand years, so after Luqing and other things, Marx and En once again devoted themselves to books that recorded more distant times, and then tried to find useful things.

And he really found something.

Mar En, who was sitting and reading attentively, put down the thick ancient books in his hand, raised his head and looked at Zasna, who seemed to be "accompanying" himself to study, but was actually looking at him.

After realizing Dumahn's gaze, Zasna immediately put down the book and looked at him.

Marn showed a curious look:

"This book mentions that a long time ago, gods betrayed their kind. Is this true?"

Similar questions have happened countless times in the past two days, so Zasna did not have any doubts about Marxon asking this, but just regarded this as an extremely ordinary question.

"It's really unexpected, right?" said Zasna. "It's hard to imagine that the gods betray their fellow citizens to help us. You think so because the gods look like this now.

"But in fact, the causal relationship here is the opposite, because the gods today are like this because the righteous and kind gods died in battle a long time ago.

"It was that ancient war that erased the last goodness and justice among the gods."

Maren said in surprise:

"If you say so, then the ancient Titans should be in the extremely just side in that war."

Although many wars have no justice, if it is really a war where both sides are right and wrong, those kind and righteous gods will not betray their compatriots and help humanity.

Zasna nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, these ancient gods are extremely great and admirable heroes."

When Mar En heard this, he looked a little depressed:

"So if I understand correctly, they all die?"

Zasna's eyes seemed to have a faint sadness flowing, but it almost disappeared in an instant, making Mar En, who was sitting opposite her, a little doubtful if she had read it wrong.

"Yes." She replied as usual, "If the sacrifices of these gods were not made, the wars of the past would not have been won. They were more worthy of survival than the other gods."

"But they voluntarily gave up their eternal life for the sake of humanity."

Marne blinked:

"These gods betrayed their kind for good and justice and sacrificed their lives. I think most humans and Titans today can't do the same, but your mother cares, right?"

Zasna nodded:

"Yes, my mother is the kind of person who can also love and sympathize with other races. Many of her fellow citizens think this is an extremely stupid thing, but I don't agree.

"She felt that the gap between our two races was not that big, and we didn't have to regard each other as completely different races. The gap between me and you was like the different skin colors of humans - it just seemed a little different at first glance, but we all had almost the same consciousness structure, and yes, there was a gap in our consciousness.

"But are the consciousness between people and humans exactly the same? She feels that the gap in consciousness between people and Titans is not essentially different from the gap in consciousness between people and humans. If she loves her compatriots...

"Then she should love almost the same race as her fellow countrymen."
