Chapter 101 - 92 The Power of Prophecy
Basel gazed at the windswept mountains.
This downtrodden poet stood at the foot of the mountain where sacrificial rituals were held.
The Logos people and the Three-eyed Ape People had successfully established communication and connections, and as a result, the members of the Vanguard were all rewarded.
The rewards included access to the Pattern Garden and the privilege to offer sacrifices on the mountain alongside the King.
Basel learned that the exchange between the Logos people and the Three-eyed Ape People was very successful; they had brought fine food and livestock, exquisite pottery, and brought back precious spices and local fruits like Coconut Dates.
Following this, merchants spontaneously took on the trade demands between the two civilizations, daily trekking into the wilderness, taking goods from the Logos people over and bringing back various items from the Three-eyed Ape People.
The two civilizations exchanged with a friendly and excited demeanor, declaring friendship with each other, and yet, Basel enjoyed none of the fruits of this great success.
The wooden planks he brought back were handed over to King Dovlo, who then gave Basel’s findings to the Priests of the Pattern Garden; they eagerly discussed this novel civilization while often overlooking Basel, the recorder.
Basel felt it was a pity, enduring his own obscurity.
Being ignored hurt him more than any insult.
Basel looked up at the mountain in front of him, a place that endured in the poetry of the Logos people, often referred to as the Holy Mountain, Logos Mountain; since God had departed, the people unwittingly sacralized the mountain.
