In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1361: The mystery of the feast (11)
"After humans stepped onto the interstellar stage, the Sanctuary has obtained more information channels. We also thought about referring to the development routes of portals of other civilizations to see if we can learn from each other's strengths and strengthen Kama Taj's large-scale transmission. technology."
Schiller blinked, thought about it and said: "I think the portal technology is very important to all civilizations. Will they easily trade this technology with us?"
"Of course not, but there are other ways." Strange glanced left and right. There was no one on either side of them. Although there were many guests, they were not densely distributed across the three floors.
Strange still lowered his voice and said, "It's the same as on Earth. Many contraband items claim to be impossible to buy, but as long as you have money and connections, you can still find a little bit."
"You mean... the black market?" Schiller immediately understood.
Strange nodded and said: "Of course there is a black market in the interstellar society, and an orderly society will definitely need an exit that pours out chaos, and within the jurisdiction of the three empires, this exit is in the centaur."
Strange stretched out a hand and drew a pattern on the back of the chair in front of him, and said: "Look, this is the ring area, which is the area where the three empires meet. The cultural center, and here is the centaur...Have you found it? They are diagonal and look at each other from a distance, this is definitely the result of the deliberate guidance of the three empires."
"They understand that blocking is worse than sparse, and no matter how highly centralized the military state is, it is impossible to be completely crime-free. Even if the Supreme Wisdom controls almost all the members of the main ethnic group of the Cree, the scope and population of their rule determine Crime is bound to happen.”
"In this case, it's better to lead these people who bring chaos to a distance, as long as it doesn't affect the core area, it doesn't matter at all."
Schiller nodded. Of course he understood what Strange said. In fact, the same is true on Earth. Many so-called three-way zones, are these big countries really incapable of controlling them? I'm afraid not.
Firstly, it is not cost-effective to use manpower and material resources to clear the payment, and secondly, after some extremely dangerous elements commit a crime, they know that they have a place to run, and they will run away after committing a crime, but what if there is no such Let them run away and let them resist desperately in the country, how much trouble will there be?
So, in most orderly societies, the measures taken to deal with this kind of people are that as long as you don't mess around in the society and voluntarily give up your social identity and run out, most of the officials will not do it for a mouse. Shit goes to war.
It seems that Centaurus is such a place, Schiller thought, and the golden triangle of the universe belongs to it.
"So you got the technology there?" Schiller asked a little curiously.
But Strange smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said: "I didn't get any useful technology, but I made some other discoveries."
"What's that?" Schiller leaned over, pretending to listen intently, but Strange smiled and shook his head and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
At this moment, Strange changed the subject, and continued:
"In addition to the Holy of Holies, the Karma Taj mages have also actively strengthened exchanges with other gods."
"Not only the gods that have come out of the earth, but there are also many powerful gods in the universe. They are different from the incarnations of eternity or death that are completely the rules of the universe, but they are not demon gods that are completely composed of energy. It can be said to be a combination of the two.”
Hearing Strange's words, Schiller thought of what Thanos mentioned before. After the patriarch of the Eternal Clan blew up his own home, he abandoned his body and combined with a certain part of the universe to become the ruler of time. avatar.
Schiller doesn't have a deep impression of this character, but he vaguely remembers that he seems to be unable to defeat Thanos. There are still many such existences in China.
"These so-called gods are not as fragile as demon gods. They are almost as old as the universe and can live for a long time. They are all high-quality customers in the future, so mages pay special attention to them." Strange shook his head. Wine glass, said after taking a sip of wine.
"In addition, we have also collected a lot of information about the gods in the universe, mainly provided to us by some of our customers."
"Although the teleportation technology was not purchased, we did find some information related to it... You should know the big portal of the Shi'ar Empire, right?"
Schiller nodded and said, "It's so famous, it's hard not to know."
"The Shi'ar Empire is very special." Strange stretched out a finger, he put the wine glass on the table next to him, changed his posture, and said very seriously: "I mentioned it before. The teleportation technology of the Cree Empire and the Skrull Empire was developed on the technological side, but the Shia Empire is a bit like humans, and their large portals are not entirely a product of the technological side.”
"It can be seen from the form of their main body, the Mengyu tribe, that most of the Cree and Skrull have undergone some mechanized transformation. Even if the body is not moving, they generally wear mechanical armor and hold firearms Equipment."
"But the Mengyu tribe, especially the royal family and nobles in the Mengyu tribe, almost never wear heavy armor. Even if they go to the battlefield, they only wear a layer of light armor for decoration. It is also a magic race and has a magic shield, so it doesn't need heavy armor."
Schiller nodded, this was the first time he had heard of it, and then he remembered that the spaceship of the Mengyu clan that he had seen before landed at the star port of Asgard was indeed different from the spaceships of other civilizations on the technological side different.
The specific performance is that the shape is strange, there are more useless decorations, and the shape does not conform to the laws of dynamics. If there is no magic, it is a bit difficult to make such a spaceship fly smoothly.
"Where does their magic come from? Is it like Asgard who was born to use the energy of the universe?" Schiller asked.
"Of course not. If they are like the Asgards, what's the point?" Strange shook his head and said, "They are much weaker than the Asgardians. The original energy of the universe, but their 'God' can give them energy."
"Oh, like the followers of the Egyptian pantheon, right?" Schiller immediately gave a very apt example.
The Egyptian pantheon is a pantheon that likes to lend its power to believers very much. Not to mention the spokespersons of Kongsu, the Black Panther must also find a representative in the human world, and sometimes it is not One, one find is a tribe.
Strange nodded, and continued to explain: "You may think that such behavior is not good for the gods, but the strange thing is that the biggest teaching of the Shi'ar Empire is 'integration'."
"It was rumored that the Xi'a twin gods didn't love each other at all, and they didn't want to combine, but after being forced to combine, they found strength in this combination, so the Xi'a Empire followed suit. The twin gods Xi and Ah forcibly fused other nations and found strength in this fusion.”
"It's coming again." Schiller covered his forehead and said, "You still talk about other mages, don't you just talk about this kind of legend all day long?"
Strange smiled helplessly and said, "If this is also called God's nagging, then if you listen to those archmages talking, you can fall asleep on the spot."
"Okay, let me explain more clearly. In fact, there are no romantic myths at all. Everything is driven by profit."
"The gods of Xi and Ah said to their believers that after we forcibly combined, we gained great power, so in order to gain power, you should also integrate other nations. This is actually just to whitewash your own aggression. "
"The gods of Xi and Ah lend their power to the believers, let them invade other countries, and then brainwash the believers of other gods in other countries, let them submit to the gods of Xi and Ah, so that the gods of Xi and Ah can have More believers.”
"More importantly, the gods of Xi'a can follow these believers to find the gods of other nationalities. They can forcibly fuse the power of these gods into themselves and eat them completely. This is what they call' Finding strength's way in bonding."
Schiller raised his head and nodded. He understood the way the Shia pantheon works. To put it bluntly, it is to use mortals to fish. The knife and ax hand chopped up the opponent, and then served it directly on the table to eat.
Suddenly Schiller was stunned for a moment, because he thought of the relationship between this behavior of the Shi'an pantheon and the big portal.
The development history of civilizations in the universe can echo the development history of human beings.
In a certain stage of human development, there was no such behavior as commerce. Most people squatted on their own one-third of an acre of land, men farming and women weaving, self-sufficient.
But with the development of productivity, people produce more and more things, completely exceeding their own survival needs, so they begin to have the need for mutual exchange.
The extra cloth I weave can be exchanged for the extra grain you grow, or simply I will be in charge of weaving, and you will be in charge of growing the grain. We exchange regularly, so business appears.
The same is true among cosmic civilizations. When most interstellar civilizations were not so developed, business was not so prosperous, but as more and more civilizations entered the interstellar society, everyone also hoped to be able to communicate with each other.
At this time, the Shia Empire stood up and claimed that they could provide a fair trading platform for other civilizations in the universe. It is fair and just, and I can also charter a car for you.
The so-called transportation fee is actually a big portal.
The Shi'ar Empire is the first civilization in the universe to establish a large-scale portal through which countless interstellar civilizations can pass, which gives them a unique advantage in business and trade.
For example, if you have a sack of rice that you want to sell, should you walk 2 kilometers to the neighboring village to find two possible buyers, or go to the post station and take the free portal to the one 20 kilometers away? Towns, etc. A hundred potential buyers bid?
It is the nature of a businessman to seek profit. It is convenient for a place to travel, and there are more potential buyers, which means that it may sell at a higher price. The Great Portal Sectors of the Empire come together.
The Shia twin gods who helped the Shia Empire build the big portal squatted over the territory of the Shia Empire, fastened their napkins, held their knives and forks, and waited for plate after plate of dishes to be transported out of the portal .
They asked their believers to discuss business with the other party when they were optimistic about which dish, and once the business was negotiated, the other party admired the cultural atmosphere of the Xi'an Empire and was willing to join the multi-ethnic family of the Xi'an Empire , what can others say?
If the other two empires were conquered by force~IndoMTL.com~then the Xi'a Empire is more like a cultural invasion. This method is slower, but more secure, and it is not easy to arouse public opinion. It is more concealed and more Subtly.
Now, Schiller understands why the Shia Empire is not as powerful as the Cree Empire and the Skrull Empire, but it can still stand proudly in the economy and society for many years and maintain the detached status of the three empires.
"It has been many years since the two gods of Xi'a bestowed their power on the royal family and nobles of the Mengyu clan. What you may not know is that no matter how careful they are, the energy belonging to the gods will continue to erode and transform. A mortal body."
Looking at the liquor shaking in his hand, Strange said: "Everyone will have to pay a price for borrowing the energy of the gods. The more they borrow, the more severe the erosion will be. The more power you have."
Strange narrowed his eyes slightly, and some kind of dark light flowed in his eyes. The Supreme Mages have never been the spokespersons of light and decent magic. Magicians are more proficient in this way.
Strange's tone became more and more low-key: "The great portal of the Shi'ar Empire is the product of the power of the Shi'a twin gods, and this kind of power flowing in the blood of the Mengyu tribe, perhaps, The secret of the portal is in the blood of the Mengyu tribe."
"Winter, winter, winter."
At the beginning of the concert, the rapid drumbeat sounded in Schiele's ears, and then became his clear and rhythmic heartbeat.
Schiller, who was still standing on the dance floor, turned his head. Through the dim light, he saw the glass of wine that Strange had just put down on the tray in the hands of the waiter not far away, but it was still full.
