Chapter 35: The Choice
"You mean......" Regner's voice trembled, "My boss is now a werewolf?"
"Strictly speaking, he's not a werewolf. Elon shook his head: "The Fall of the Moon only allows your companions to inherit the two characteristics of the tenacious vitality of the werewolf and the fury of the full moon, but it cannot give humans the terrible physical qualities of a werewolf.
And this is also a very important point: the werewolf itself has a strong recovery ability, and this recovery ability is supported by the werewolf's strong physical fitness. When a werewolf is damaged, the wound will quickly regenerate into new body tissue to repair the wound.
But the problem is that it is impossible for any living creature to achieve unlimited regeneration of body tissues, and each regeneration will consume life force, or more bluntly, it will lose life.
The werewolf has an incomparably large life potential, so he can constantly heal his wounds at an extremely fast rate, and the impact on his lifespan is not very serious. But humans can't, and your companion has inherited the werewolf's powerful regenerative abilities, but without the werewolf's terrifying physical qualities as a foundation.
The man's body was constantly injured in battle, and he kept recovering, and the massive amount of body regeneration in a short period of time had made his life potential nearly exhausted. This is also the reason why he is unable to heal himself after the battle is over, relying on the werewolf's recovery ability - he has almost no life potential. ”
So, what do you mean...... My boss, he's exhausted of his life potential, and he's dying?" Elon's explanation made Regner feel distracted, he didn't have the time or the mood to understand Elon's explanation verbatim, but asked the most crucial question.
"If we treat him now, he won't die immediately, he is a very strong man, and he already has a lot of life potential. Although the loss of a large amount of life potential now will not kill him, it will also shorten his lifespan considerably. As for how short it is, I have no way of knowing. Elon replied.
"Then please treat him! We will find a way to do it later, and it is important to save his life now. "Regner was refreshed when he heard that Kordak could still be cured, and as for the question of longevity, although Regner has no way now, he feels that there will always be a turnaround in the future.
Whether it's a dead life or a cripple later, it's always better than Kordak turning into a cold corpse right away, isn't it?
"......" Elon was silent this time, he looked at the expectant human in front of him, and he couldn't bear to hit them, but finally reminded him: "Are you sure you want to save him? He is now a creature cursed with werewolf blood, he ...... Can't even be called human anymore.
Perhaps the people you save now will bite off your necks on a full moon night in the future, and from what I know of you humans, I think this dangerous creature will be difficult for your society to accept. Are you sure you want to save him?"
Regnar and Vera fell silent when they heard this, indeed, Kordaq can no longer be called a human anymore, so what should we do in the future? Do we want to continue to live with this guy who may turn into a bloodthirsty monster at any time, I am afraid that I will not sleep well with such a creature? Even if we can accept him, what about the others?
If Kordak's identity were discovered, wouldn't anyone look at him strangely? Wouldn't anyone hurt Kordak because of his potential threat? Will Kordak survive in such an environment? Or will Kordak accept such a monster of himself? Will he himself desire to survive, even as such a somewhat deformed being?
Countless questions and concerns sprung up in the hearts of the two, and in the face of this situation, the two Regner were a little unsure of what to do. Because what they are deciding is the life of their most important and intimate companion, whether to let that tall and hearty man continue to live in another posture, or let him die with dignity as a human being?
"I know it's going to be a tough decision, so I'll give you a moment to think about it, and I'll be waiting for your answer at the door. Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Elon said no more, turned and walked out.
......
"Elder, the materials you requested have been prepared. "Gelano has been waiting for Elon at the door.
"Okay, thank you. Elon looked at Gelano, who was about to speak, smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, kid." ”
"Forgive me for my rudeness, but Gelano really doesn't understand why we are helping these humans of unknown origin, we are a greedy and cunning race, we elves are often plotted by them, they even sell us as slaves, why should we show our warmth and friendliness in the face of such a race? Gelano asked, he didn't know much about humans, but the elves always had negative news about humans, which made him not very fond of humans.
Elon looked at Gelano who was a little stiff and asked, "Then kid, since you think we shouldn't be so friendly to these humans, can you tell me why you brought these three humans back?"
"I ...... I just don't think I can do it if I watch three lives die in the forest. Gelano replied.
"That's it, kid, many things in this world are very complicated, there is no absolute right or wrong for them, and there is no way for us to make the so-called right decisions. All we had to do was go with our hearts, and the good nature that led you to bring these three beings back to the tribe, and now, I thought I should heal these three humans, so I did it. We all just did what we thought we were supposed to do, and it had nothing to do with right or wrong, and it had nothing to do with race. ”
Elon thought for a moment, and then continued: "Moreover, I think your opinion of human beings should be a bit extreme, some of them are indeed sinister and cunning, but they also have simple and gentle and kind people. This is true not only of human beings, but of all races in the world, you must know that no race can represent its individual, and no individual can represent his race. Among the humans who we regard as insidious and cunning, there will be pure and kind people like angels, and among the elves who think they are kind and simple, there will also be cruel and ruthless people like demons. ”
Although Elder Elon is considered to be the most respected and knowledgeable elder in the Nightsong Tribe, Gelano still disagrees with his last sentence, he has always lived in the Elven Tribe, and has never seen a tribe as "as cruel and ruthless as a demon".
"Don't believe me?" Elon smiled slightly, "Think of our close relatives underground, they were no different from us thousands of years ago. ”
"......" Gelano was speechless as he thought of the dark elves, who were known for their bloodthirsty cruelty.
"Thank you for your guidance, it is Gelano's honor to receive your wisdom. Gelano saluted Elon and turned to leave.
......
"Sister Vera......" Regner was the first to break the silence, and now, he has made his choice.
"He's Kordak......" Vera said softly as she looked at the man lying on the bed.
"Huh?"
"He's Kordak. Vera affirmed: "He's always been a Kordak, I don't care about anything else, I don't care if he's a human or a werewolf, or something else, as long as he's Kordak, as long as his heart, his mind hasn't changed, that's enough." ”
"Little Ray. Vera continued, "Just listen to me this time, save him, whatever becomes him, save him." He became like this because of me, I can't let him die like this no matter what, the events of seven years ago have left me unable to sleep, and if I escape this time, I don't think I can stand this torture. So, no matter what, I have to save him, whatever difficulties and problems I will face with him, I don't want to run anymore, and I won't run away again. So, listen to me this time, save him!"
Vera's tone was very firm, although she used the words of discussion, but Regner had already seen that no one could change Vera's decision this time. In fact, Regner didn't even think about changing it.
"Sister Vera, you're not the only one facing the boss. Regner laughed and said, "I'm going to be a light bulb between you all the time, don't try to throw me down." ”
......
The door to the room was gently pushed open, and Regner and Vera walked out together, both of them with red eyes, no doubt crying as they made their decision.
"Did I guess wrong?" Elon thought to himself, he had thought that Vera and Regnar would definitely choose to save Kordak, so he asked Gelano to prepare the materials for the secret arts. But looking at the expressions of the two people in front of him, it seemed that he was going to say goodbye to the man in tears......
"We're going to save him, please help us!" Vera and Regner bowed deeply at the same time.
"It seems that human feelings are really complicated......" Elon thought to himself with a wry smile.
