Chapter 137 Love, Freedom, Dedication
Xiao Wu is quite helpless. You were the one who brought me here, and you were the one who told me not to do this. Then why don't you find a simple flower demon?
But it is undeniable that being able to serve seniors is also a rare opportunity, and whoever is not sure can get some pointers.
So Xiao Wu didn't complain, she put away her previous attitude, and then led Lu Pingxi and the others to their resting place honestly.
After Lu Pingxi and the others left, the elderly mayor breathed a sigh of relief. A tree demon next to him asked: "The big volcanic eruption that happens once every ten years is about to begin. If there are seniors in charge, the situation in our town may be better." Some."
The mayor sighed: "How can it be better? This period of every ten years is the most difficult time for our town. Fortunately, most of the people who come to the seventh floor are plant monsters, so we The situation is a little better.”
The tree demon said: "This can be regarded as a gain and a loss. The spiritual veins here are occupied by us, so of course we have to bear these troubles."
The old mayor nodded: "Yes, there are gains and losses. When this big volcano incident passes, I will step down from the position of mayor. When the time comes, it will be you, Muzi, who will be the new mayor."
The Muzi Dryad was taken aback and said: "Mayor, how can I, He De, hold the position of mayor? It is better to let the more experienced and qualified demons in the town take the position!"
The old mayor said: "It would be nice if you could persuade them, but you know, in the Immortal Tower, every demon clan is only interested in getting stronger. Not everyone is willing to stand up and do things for our group. Such troublesome things delay the progress of spiritual practice.”
Muzi Dryad fell silent.
In the distance, Lu Pingxi, who had used the modified sound transmission technique, heard their conversation. His sound transmission technique had been broken by him. It could not only achieve remote amplification, but also remote eavesdropping. As expected, human creativity is endless. .
Hearing the conversation between the two tree demons, Lu Pingxi couldn't help but think of what the little flower demon had said to him.
The little flower demon once explained to him that the monsters in the fairy tower are all respected by the strong, so every monster clan will only strive to become stronger. Unless they reach a bottleneck, they will let their children inherit them. hope.
At that time, managers like the mayor will appear, but even so, many old monsters with no hope will not become managers.
Unlike human society, here, power is not easy to use. No matter how powerful you are, as long as you meet a strong person who is stronger than you, you can only shrink your tail and act like a monster, because it is too easy for the other party to take your life. .
Therefore, most of the managers here did not become managers for the sake of power. They became managers because they really considered the entire group and were willing to sacrifice their own time to become stronger to protect the group.
Therefore, compared to human society, the managers of these ethnic groups in the Immortal Tower are more selfless. Of course, the owners of the sixth-level mountains do not count. The reason why the owners of the mountains become managers is essentially to become stronger and to sacrifice the entire To make oneself stronger.
By now, Lu Pingxi finally understood the explanation given to him by the little flower demon. It was obvious that the old mayor was worried about his successor having no demon before choosing a successor. After all, it would take a lot of time to manage a town. After spending all this time, you won’t be able to concentrate on your own practice.
The old mayor said to the Muzi Dryad: "Do you still remember? You deliberately chose to follow me because of your poor qualifications. Like you, I was also a monster with poor qualifications, so for the sake of the clan, we are willing to Sacrifice your own practice time.”
The Muzi tree demon was silent. It knew that the old mayor was not just for the entire clan, because the nature of the demon clan was actually selfish.
The old mayor said: "But I also have selfish motives. Although power is not as good as strength, it is still a kind of strength. After all, I can get a few more resources than ordinary monsters. Although my qualifications are not good, my children's qualifications are definitely better than I am good, so I am called the mayor because of my children.”
Muzi Dryad nodded. Although it didn't want to admit it, it had already recognized the fact helplessly. It had no qualifications, so it could only place its hopes on the next generation, although it had not even found its other half yet.
The old mayor saw what it was thinking: "Muzi, you don't have to be reserved. Only by becoming this mayor can you get married and have children. Otherwise, you can't even put your hopes on the next generation. After all, we monsters The essence of the clan is still selfish, and dedicating oneself to the clan is just for the sake of the next generation.”
Muzi fell silent.
In the distance, Cuizhu cultivator seemed to be using special skills to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two tree demons. He asked Lu Pingxi: "It seems that the mayor has no ill intentions towards us, they are just chatting about their own private matters. "
Cuizhu cultivator has long been used to this kind of thing. He can cultivate to the golden elixir stage, which means that his parents are bamboo demons who are very qualified to practice. He himself has naturally inherited this talent, so he can achieve the golden elixir.
He is different from the monsters at this level. His starting point is very high, but this starting point is also the result of his ancestors' hard work from generation to generation.
Lu Pingxi said: "Don't let down your guard. Tonight, you stay vigil while I go out to investigate this town. There must be a reason why this town can stand near the big volcano for so many years."
Cuizhu monk nodded. They didn't care about other people's housework at all. They only cared about their own safety.
Therefore, any demon clan who sees Lu Pingxi will think that he is a big demon, because Lu Pingxi's behavior pattern is too similar to that of the demon clan.
Lu Pingxi and the others came to a big house. This house was made of mud. Because the plant-type monsters became more and more human-like as their realms improved, there were also various kinds of furniture nearby, but they were all large sized.
After the rose demon brought them here, he planned to prepare food, but was stopped by Lu Pingxi on the spot: "No, we have brought the food ourselves. You don't need to follow us. Go and rest. I will call you if necessary."
Lu Pingxi looked like a typical monster, "I don't believe you, just go ahead and do whatever you have to do. I'll take care of anything myself."
It's a monster thing to say that selfishness is wrong, but freedom should be said.
But the vocabulary of the demon clan is not as rich as that of humans. They do not have words such as "love", "freedom" and "dedication" that only appeared in modern times.
Their understanding of love is "desire" and "selfishness", and their understanding of devotion is "loyalty" and "ethnic instinct".
After everything was ready, Lu Pingxi planned to go out and investigate the surrounding situation. Being in a strange place, it was necessary to investigate the surrounding situation clearly.
However, at this moment, two streams of light, one in gold and one in red, suddenly flew from the sky. It seemed that a new distraction from the golden elixir stage had come to visit this small town.
