Chapter 1722: Jade beauties and treasure
Lex delved deeper into his memories.
The Gon were a proud, war prone race who sought nothing but to expand their domain farther and farther. That did not mean, however, that they lacked intelligence. If that were so, they would not have gained control over 11 Major realms.
Through insidiousness and meticulous planning, they had designed their social structures specifically to promote strength, shun weakness, and engage in conquest. The humans were not the only race that they had caused to go into decline, which was one of the reasons they did not pay special attention to humans.
In general, the ideology that the Gon prescribed too was to have the general populace of their race be strong. So, in terms of governance, they focused on developing the whole rather than specific talented individuals.
Of course, that was only limited to the overarching governance. Within their societies, strong individuals obviously gained more attention and recognition.
Lex wanted to learn more about the universal position that the Gon held, but as Jeziah was a slave, his knowledge was severely limited. In fact, he knew almost nothing about Gon relations with other races.
Sadly, Lex only learned very limited useful things from Jeziah when it concerned his race. Things like food preferences, cultural habits, family structures and all were all well and good, but they didnβt really help him. Though, interesting to note was that among the Gon, there was no concept of familial love.
Offsprings were merely a means of expanding oneβs personal power, which is why the Gon tried to have as many kids as possible. There was no concept of family love among them. Instead, the greatest form of relationship among Gon was that of master and disciple.
A master who could teach his disciple to fight, and could teach well, would be loved and revered across the race, regardless of background, and even regardless of the masterβs own cultivation level.
For example, if Jeziah had been able to prove himself a worthy teacher, he could have literally broken free from his status of slave. Unfortunately, such things were often easier said than done, especially for a race with such high standards.
