Ai Tielang asked: "Are you a local?"

When Matsushima Hiro told Yuki that he suggested that he go back to his hometown to visit, Iron Wolf happened to be there.

Yuki nodded while dealing with the little girl pestering him: "Yes, it's not far from here, local."

Ai Tielang nodded and said, "Hello, locals. Do you want to go back and have a look?"

Youki scratched his head: "Actually, I haven't decided yet..."

Recycling Town... To be honest, that place didn't leave a particularly good impression on me. As a child without a father, he was always bullied. Although his mother made a lot of money as a heavy construction machinery, she had no chance to take care of herself.

He will be alone until he picks Master up from the trash heap.

People of this era don't quite understand why they should go to a certain place to commemorate those who have died. The associated culture has been destroyed. Although lower-class people reinvented the fantasy of an "afterlife" again and again, these fantasies were officially erased before they became custom.

Although Xiangshan has been instilling the meaning of "commemoration" into Yuki over the past few years, and Yuki has witnessed knights commemorating the deceased several times, he only understood these behaviors intellectually, but did not fully accept them mentally.

"I have to advise you, you should go back if you can." Ai Tielang used a laser measuring instrument to calibrate the barrel of his firearm. "Not every knight has the opportunity to go back to the past. Look at Six Days , that kid became independent from his own Earth-Drilling Dragon community, and there is still some contact, but this contact may be broken at some point."

The manager of the Earth-Drilling Dragon Community in the Black Valley where Liuri is located, Hammers, was once the assistant of the Eighth Martial God. The eighth Martial God entrusted his "legacy" to Laozhuis. Lao Thrice also voluntarily gave up this memory after the incident. But no matter how good the confidentiality is, it can't withstand King Agni's search at all costs.

During the retreat, Laochais sent Liu Ri to notify the surrounding collaborators and let those people escape for their own lives.

On the 6th, he took over this narrow escape mission and changed from an earth-burrowing dragon to a knight-errant.

Of course, due to Xiang Shan's intervention, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. The legacy of the Eighth Martial God was controlled by the chivalrous party, and the Black Valley Earth-Drilling Dragons successfully evacuated and arrived at another mining area.

Although Liuri knew the current location of the Black Valley lineage, he could not tell when these earth-burrowing dragons would move again. After the next transfer, if you want to see your relatives again on the 6th, you can only rely on luck.

Moreover, even if they did not move, Liu Ri would not be able to frequently go to the mining area where the Black Valley lineage is now located. That will only increase the risk of exposure of the Black Valley lineage of Earth-Drilling Dragons.

Youki carried Penico and walked away from the door. He found a place to sit directly opposite the door and held a rifle on the ground in his arms: "He also wants to be a knight on the 6th."

"Whether you want to be a knight is one thing, but whether you want your relatives is another thing." Ai Tielang has already maintained his main battle weapon. He put the big gun back into the storage box and turned to Yuki, "Besides, life in the wild settlement is not easy. What if it disappears at some point?"

Yuki said: "It's pretty stable. Anyway... if that idiot tax official hadn't caused trouble by himself, my settlement would have been fine for more than ten years."

More than three years ago, Yuan Wenren led people to assassinate the genetic tax collector of Jayhawk City. Later, an unpopular son of Lord Zhao inherited the position. In order to vent his unhappiness, he pointed the finger at the weaker town.

Of course, of course, Mr. Zhao’s family loves the people. In fact, if Xiang didn't show up that day, things wouldn't really have gone to the worst stage - just a few more workers would have died. The young master feels a little more comfortable, the genetic tax will still be collected.

In fact, the logic of this so-called collective asylum is probably this.

First of all, gene bank defense forces must maintain human diversity and protect human life.

However, the Genebank Guards are not all-pervasive rulers, so they reject personnel beyond the minimum threshold. There are always not enough people on the patron side.

The reality is that the gene pool weapons cannot protect the entire planet at the same time. Therefore, they will give higher priority to some people.

And who has priority? Naturally, it is easier for them to manage.

If a human wants to run to a dangerous area to die, the protector will not care. They don't have that obligation.

It is precisely because of this that asylum seekers actively shrink their rights and place them in the "safe zone".

In the subsequent explanation of the "Dyson Principle" by the Father of All Machines and the Kings, it was mentioned that when there are enough "people willing to maintain human genetic diversity" in an area, the area should be considered "safe" district".

As for the criterion, it is the "number of newborn babies."

Of course, if the infant mortality rate in a region is too high, either the people in that region are not willing to accept Green Star's obligation to "maintain human genetic diversity," or the genetic mutations produced in that region are too vulnerable in that environment.

But generally speaking, the vast majority of villages can successfully complete the genetic tax and obtain the "shelter" to continue to survive in the wilderness.

As far as Yuki knows, there are several wild settlements that have existed for more than eighty years.

Ai Tielang sighed: "Don't be too optimistic. People live too long now, and many people will not die when they get old. If there are more old people in the village who have lost the ability to work, the survival pressure of the entire village will increase. , young people will be more willing to go to other areas. And the genetic tax is calculated on a per capita basis. Once too many young people of the right age leave, the settlement will lose its shelter."

"At that time, Green Forest's robbery was not just about taking away some supplies and then calling it a day."

Youki looked at Ai Tielang: "Senior Ai, did your previous settlement disappear like this?"

"I guess that's the case." Ai Tielang said: "I didn't think of it until fifty years after I entered the world. But I calculated that the settlement where I was born had already existed at that time. The average settlement time has doubled. It’s not surprising that it’s gone. Besides, as a famous knight, there is a risk of being directly reported by ordinary people on the roadside when he returns to his hometown. Anyway, it is definitely gone now.”

Ai Tielang sighed heavily, then put his hand on the back of his waist, took out two large-caliber pistols, put them on the ground and pushed them, and the pistols slid towards Youki.

"Rifles are fine in the martial arts district, but they are too conspicuous outside this street. These two are given to you for self-defense. If you go back and take a look, you might be able to remember why you want to be a knight. .Go and have a look.”
