Neil nodded, although Macol couldn't see it, he still responded, "Understood, I will proceed with further observation immediately."
Neil activated the observation device again, and the field of view expanded instantly, capturing Cyrus and Agnes firmly within its monitoring range. He first focused his attention on Cyrus, a city dominated by business conglomerates and wealthy families. Through the advanced functions of the observation device, he could not only see real-time social interactions but also review past records and documents.
Neil carefully examined Cyrus's interaction records with Agnes over the past few years. He found that Cyrus had attempted multiple times to reach a trade agreement with Agnes, but each time it fell through due to issues with resource allocation. The city highly values economic interests, with business groups often dominating policy-making and emphasizing the efficient allocation of resources through Macol et mechanisms.
Then, he shifted his focus to Agnes. This traditional society, composed of elders and military leaders, has a completely different outlook. Through observation, Neil discovered that the people here hold a near-sacred reverence for the land and resources. To them, the land is not just an economic resource, but an inheritance left by their ancestors, possessing irreplaceable cultural and spiritual value.
In addition, Neil also noticed that these two cities have significant differences in terms of race and culture. The residents of Cyrus are mostly light-skinned and adhere to a materialistic philosophy of life. On the other hand, Agnes is mainly composed of dark-skinned ethnic groups who cherish nature and tradition, and have a strong sense of ethnic identity.
Neil realized that the opposition between these two cities goes far beyond surface-level resource competition. It involves two radically different sets of values, social systems, and even clashes of race and culture. The people of Cyrus value commercial trade and economic benefits, while the people of Agnes place importance on the cultural and sacred value of land and resources.
After re-establishing communication with Macol, Neil took a deep breath and began reporting his observations: " Macol, this conflict is far more complex than we anticipated. Apart from resource issues, it's more about the clash of two completely different sets of values and social systems, even involving racial and cultural factors. I believe these factors have intensified the tension between the two cities."
After a brief silence, Macol responded, "Very good, Neil. Your observations have given us a more comprehensive understanding of these two cities. Now, I need you to further investigate. Please identify the representatives of this era, Cyrus and Agnes, and understand their motives and plans."
Neil immediately responded: "Understood, I will complete it as soon as possible."
Neil restarted the observation instrument, this time narrowing the focus to the political, business, and cultural center of Cyrus and Agnes. After considering public data and social behavior, he locked onto two individuals.
In Cyrus, a merchant named Irina caught his attention. She is the manager of the city's largest Macol et and a key figure in the city-state's economy. She actively promotes resource exchange with Agnes, but based on her past actions, Irina seems to be more concerned with the short-term prosperity of the Cyrus Macol et and less focused on the long-term social and cultural impact.
As the manager of the Cyrus Macol et, she has demonstrated her strength and skill. She often wears gorgeous clothing, adorned with gemstone headpieces, and walks through every corner of the Macol et, carefully inspecting various goods and engaging in delicate conversations with the merchants. Her subordinates often carry a thick ledger, meticulously recording the daily trading situation. Neil observed that Irina is very proactive in her exchanges with Agnes, with a batch of rare goods arriving from Agnes almost every day, which has been warmly welcomed by the citizens.
However, Neil also noticed the issue. In a corner of the Macol et, a few elderly people were discussing in low voices, expressing concerns that such economic exchanges could have a negative impact on Cyrus's culture and even lead to social problems. Neil could sense the worries of these elderly people, but Irina seemed unconcerned about it.
In Agnes, the elder Alang is a completely different person. He is old with white hair, but his eyes are full of wisdom and determination. He often wears simple clothes and walks barefoot among the tribe, engaging in deep conversations with the young people, imparting to them the traditional culture and values of Agnes.
Alang's room is filled with various ancient totems and symbolic symbols. He often performs various rituals and prayers with several young tribal members. He believes that any form of interaction with Cyrus would pose a threat to the culture and land of Agnes. Neil can see that Alang is not only a leader in the tribe, but also a guardian of culture and a spiritual pillar.
Once again connected with Macol, Neil feels a surge of excitement. He begins to look forward to delving deeper into the cultures and values of these two city-states, as well as the potential for intense conflicts between them. Macol also highly praises Neil's report, believing that it will provide a more comprehensive and profound understanding for The Eye of the Philosopher.
"Very good, Neil. Your report is very comprehensive, and it will be very valuable for our upcoming observation report. Continue with the observation and conduct a more detailed analysis of the two city-states," Macol's words made Neil feel proud. He realized that he was gradually becoming an excellent observer, all thanks to his deep understanding of human nature and society.
