"Interests? Have all mankind fallen to this extent now?"
Tahima obviously didn't adapt or like this naked way of conversation. The whole person frowned and his eyes showed undisguised disgust.
Zhang Cheng smiled, shrugged his shoulders and retorted, "no! This is not corruption!
On the contrary, it tore off all the disguises of ethics and morality and let mankind return to the most primitive and essential state of competition, rather than foolishly thinking that he is the master of the world and the most beloved creation of the gods.
Do you know how the history of Indian civilization went extinct?
Because they were too naive, mistakenly believed that the European colonists were a group of friendly neighbors, and even helped them gain a foothold in America at the critical moment.
But how do these guys repay the Indians?
They provoked war, frantically killed their benefactors, plundered wealth and land, and finally shamelessly set up a day called Thanksgiving to commemorate the Indians who helped them and reward the Indians' scalp.
Until the number of Indians was no longer enough to threaten the dominance of European immigrants, the massacre finally stopped.
So tell me, do you like the former, which is ostensibly close, but secretly stabbed at the opportunity to cooperate, or do you prefer to put the interests in the light and let us all know what we want? "
Through ethics to restrict the thought and behavior of human society?
Hearing this old-fashioned argument, Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps in ancient times, when the speed of information and knowledge dissemination was relatively slow, this social structure could be maintained, but with the rise of the great navigation era and the strong influence of the Renaissance, many people's subconscious desires were completely released.
In order to pursue power and wealth, European colonists attacked and occupied those areas with relatively backward military technology in an almost dehumanizing way, and even didn't mind killing millions of indigenous people.
Many people may think that the total number of people killed in the first and second world wars has been quite terrible, but few people know that from the Portuguese navigator da Gama bypassing Africa to India to the outbreak of the first World War, the number of indigenous residents killed by European colonists is much more than that of the two World Wars combined.
Unfortunately, the essence of the conflict between civilization and civilization is the law of the jungle. Even if the strong scratch a little skin, they can shout for everyone to hear, but even if the weak are nailed to the cross, they have no right to speak.
In the face of this cruel reality, who will believe that ethics can restrict a person's behavior?
Not to mention ethics and morality, many times the law cannot. The only thing that can restrict behavior is force, which is overwhelming and frightening.
Only when a person clearly realizes that he will pay a heavy price or even die when he does something that infringes on the interests of others, will he subjectively have the idea of stopping immediately.
Tasingma obviously felt the irony revealed in the open tone, raised her chin slightly and responded proudly: "we are the people of the sun god! We are flowing with sacred and noble blood! We will never be willing to turn into greedy beasts like you degenerates. I can cooperate with you, but only in my way."
"Your way?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes! My way is very fair! You first put forward your own requirements, and then I will decide what you need to pay for the exchange. If both parties agree, the transaction will be established, and if one party disagrees, the transaction will be null and void." tasingma briefly explained his own cooperation framework.
I have to say that although her way of thinking and values are very backward, she is not stupid at all. She understands the danger of forming a close alliance with a stranger, so she resolutely chooses to maintain her independence.
Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at each other. After a full minute, he nodded: "no problem! Follow what you say! But before that, I need you to provide some basic information."
"No! As I said just now, you can ask for what you want, and then I'll decide what you exchange. Important information can never be free." tasima quickly rejected.
"Damn it! Well, it seems that I really want to have no second choice. Tell me, if I want to know about the Golden City, what do I need in exchange?" Zhang Cheng flashed a sharp chill in his pupils and immediately pretended to be helpless.
no way out!
After all, the priestess who keeps her soul state in front of her is just a projection of consciousness. Even if she turns her face and uses violence, she can't guarantee to obtain corresponding information.
At this stage, apart from patience, he really can't take any effective countermeasures.
"I want a body! A complete body that can accommodate my consciousness and part of my strength! First, she must be female, second, she must have the ancestry of Inca sacrifice, and finally she must not be more than 25 years old." tasima asked without panic.
Obviously, she is very cautious and wants to have a general understanding of the current world in this way, rather than being impatient to get rid of the cage that has imprisoned her for thousands of years.
After all, the cage imprisoned her and protected her. She would choose to leave only on the premise of confirming her safety.
"Yes! But it takes time!" Zhang Cheng undoubtedly noticed the other party's thoughts and quickly gave a positive reply.
"Thirty days! I'll give you thirty days! At the same time, I can tell you the secret about the golden city in advance. But remember, if you fail to fulfill your promise after thirty days, then our cooperation will be over." after that, tasima raised her hand and began to wave her hands towards the smooth wall of the guest room, reading some astringent and difficult syllables in her mouth.
Just a few minutes!
Large pictures like dried blood began to fill the whole wall one by one, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled even several meters away.
Before Zhang Cheng could find any clues from these messy murals, the original stable form of the priestess burst open with a bang, and then condensed into the shape of Ye Lianna.
Obviously, she exhausted the magic energy she had absorbed not long ago, and the connection of consciousness was cut off, so she had to retract it for a while.
At the same time, Yelena's soul slowly returned to her body, suddenly jumped up from the ground, and asked with a frightened face, "what did you... What did you do to me?"
"Relax, I didn't do anything. I just borrowed your soul to talk face to face with the master of the statue for a while. Come closer. Next, I will give you what you desire, even in countless supernatural abilities, the power of the soul..."
The voice just fell!
Zhang Cheng grabbed Ye Lianna's slender neck and continuously strengthened the awakened potential in the soul with the help of the broken magic crystal embedded in the skull. About two or three minutes later, the latter fell into a semi coma because he couldn't bear the great pain.
