Chapter 578: Emptiness, Loneliness, and Cold (Part II)
Yoshi's words made Ling Mo's hand pause slightly, he looked at Yoshi with a little surprise, and said:
"I didn't expect you to be not human at all, and you are so sensitive to the subtle changes in people's feelings, which is quite amazing. “
"We frogs are the top of the top in terms of figuring out people's hearts, otherwise it would not have been possible to survive for so many years and for so many seconds. ”
After receiving Ling Mo's compliment, Yoshi was obviously a little excited:
"Moreover, as a mount, we all look at the rider's face, and it is our basic skill to figure out the mood of the master, and the frog is under the crotch of the person, so we have to bow our heads! ”
"Your life is also very hard!"
After Ling Mo sighed, he said in a low voice:
"Actually, I'm in my current state...... It's okay, because I've been alone in the Warcraft Rainforest for so many years, and I'm used to being lonely for a long time.
Do you know? The short period of time when a loved one is gone usually does not make people feel particularly sad, but what will really make you feel sad is the untended pothos on the windowsill at home, the neatly folded quilt on the bed, the half-jar of tea leaves on the dining table that has not been brewed, etc.; one day, you make a big meal to treat yourself, and when you habitually call her name after it is done but no one responds, the tide of grief will come in an instant and completely drown you. Only then will you realize that you are not as strong as you think, and your emotions have already collapsed. ”
I didn't know how to comfort Ling Mo, and I didn't really want to immerse myself in this depressing atmosphere, so Zero spit out a little:
"What Dad said, what does it mean that your loved ones are leaving, isn't your ex-girlfriend still alive and well?"
Ling Mo turned his head and squinted slightly at Zero:
"She's dead. ”
Zero: "...... Well, you have the final say. ”
Satisfied with Zero's reaction, Ling Mo nodded and continued:
"When I first started in the Warcraft Rainforest, I was depressed, and later on, I was even very afraid of taking a nap.
Think about it, when you fall asleep with a stomach full of depression, groggy (ai, a sound) to the evening, looking at the sky that is shaded by the broad leaves of the rainforest, it seems hazy and dark, and then looking at the dog hole where you are accommodating, a feeling of being abandoned by the whole world will rise in your heart, loneliness, which is vividly reflected in this moment. ”
Hearing Ling Mo's brief description, Zero was silent, she could probably understand that feeling, occasionally when she woke up at home, her brain was not very clear, she had similar feelings, but it was just a momentary illusion, it was just a nightmare that still remained, and when the stupid brain came back to her senses, the feeling of loneliness disappeared silently.
And Ling Mo is different, his nightmare will never wake up, or his real experience is a nightmare, at that time, he was really abandoned by the whole world.
Looking at Ling Mo, Zero's heart was full of distress, and he couldn't wait to immediately bring his father over, take him into his arms, hold him on his chest, comfort him carefully, and slowly comfort him, and then fall in love and do this and that kind of thing together......
Goohehe~~~
Ling Mo didn't realize that Zero was obsessing with him, and he had already fallen into memories at this time:
"At the beginning, my strength dropped greatly, and I couldn't make a voice in order to survive, but then my strength gradually recovered, but not speaking has become a habit, so I don't bother to change it.
Later, when I realized that if I didn't speak again, I was afraid that I would suffer from aphasia and become the first Savage Saint in history, so I forced myself to say something, even if it was to entertain myself.
It was a magical time, and I looked at the Chimera, whose wings I had broken, and told me how I was going to bake it;
to the thunder monitor lizard that I caught, and said how I was going to disembowel it;
to the beautiful mother bear, saying how I am going to dig its nest;
I said it heartily, but unfortunately after these guys understood what I meant, they all screamed too badly and too loudly, and covered out my voice. In order not to be biased, I had to send them on my way early.
Animals don't get banned, plants don't respond, and soon I fall back into my previous aphasia. In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, this time I chose to talk to the bugs. Don't say it, the mighty one-horned fairy general, the industrious little bee lady, all of them are very good listeners, and they never interrupt me.
The only thing that is more hateful is the busy little Mr. Ant, who always keeps his head down and looks for food, and wants to bring it back to the nest and contribute to his own family, and I am so ignorant that I am angry from the heart, and I throw a piece of honey on the ground that it can't move, and it looks at it for a while and then runs back to call the big army, and then I get the honey away, hehe!"
Zero was speechless for a moment: "Why would Dad be so... Do you?"
Ling Mo raised his head proudly: "Because I want to lower its ant credit!"
Zero: "......"
"That...... Although I probably understand that Dad wants to make this little ant's kind think that he is a big liar, so that he can also taste the taste of being abandoned by the whole world. But what to do...... Isn't Dad really bored?"
"Boredom? That was a lot of fun for me at the time, right?"
Ling Mo smiled and answered, and then said very seriously:
"In fact, lowering its ant credit is only one aspect, the most important thing is to let this little ant be the leader party, and I will follow it so that I can find their nest.
At that time, my body's self-healing ability was very poor, but in order to hunt, it was inevitable that I would be scratched by the sharp teeth of the monster, so I used the pincer jaw of black ants to bite my wounds, one by one, and when a row of ants bit my wounds, I pinched off the parts other than their heads as fast as I could.
In this way, the dead ants will still bite my wounds, and the strong formic acid will fuse my flesh and blood together, which is about the same as a precise surgical suture, and the effect is quite good. ”
After saying a few words, Ling Mo finally dispelled the feeling of emptiness, loneliness and coldness, and he pushed the prepared frog meat forward, signaling Yoshi and Zero not to just listen to him, the food would not be so delicious when it was cold.
Zero was accustomed to the deliciousness of Ling Mo's cooking, and chewed silently, not too surprised. But Yoshi hadn't gotten used to it yet, and he couldn't wait to pop out his tongue and roll back a piece of hind leg meat to swallow it, and it burst into tears!
Yoshi's taste buds were bombarded repeatedly with an unprecedented delicacy, leaving his brain blank, and even giving him the illusion that he was living so big just to enjoy the ultimate experience of this moment!
Ahh
Seeing Yoshi gobbling it into his mouth, a smile appeared on the corner of Ling Mo's mouth, any chef would be sincerely happy that the food he made could be so liked by the diners. Handing the plant eggs of the Miao Frog Flower to Zero, motioning for her to squeeze the juice inside onto the meat, when Yoshi's eating was not so crazy and her tongue popped out less frequently, Ling Mo suddenly asked;
"How do you see that?
I think that as a martial god, my control over my expression and the subtle muscles of my body is flawless, and it is impossible to reveal my true emotions through these details, and the zero next to me is not aware of it, how do you see it?"
"Ahh
In my decades of mount career, I have been observing, investigating, and summarizing, and I have discovered a very interesting secret:
Language accounts for only 29.2% of your human interactions, the other 60.8% comes from body language, facial expressions, and subtle movements, and the remaining 10% comes from a certain "field" that you exude, which will change differently depending on your mood. ”
Ling Mo and Zero glanced at each other and asked in unison, "Field?!"
"Yes, I can't explain what it is, so I'll just describe it first. ”
Yoshi's cheeks bulged, and after trying to swallow the food, with imperceptible envy, he said:
"Maybe you humans don't know that you are the most favored life of the almighty god "Io", the entire continent of Noahfa...... No, it should be said that all the planes and all the wisdom of the magical beasts that are known so far come from magic, or from the magic element!
Don't look at me now, I can think now, I can speak the lingua franca of the road, I can accurately express my meaning, and I can communicate with you so smoothly, but in fact, when my strength is low, I am no different from those ordinary frogs who can only "clam clams", and there is nothing in my head. Or to put it more simply, at that stage I was "brainless" at all, a pure beast!
And it wasn't until the magic elements gradually entered my body and accumulated to a certain stage that I suddenly had wisdom as if I had suddenly been cleared of something! Many times, in the eyes of our frog clan, the magic beasts on the continent did not rely on their own evolution to have wisdom, but rather that the magic elements helped the monsters grow an extra brain and assisted the monsters in thinking!"
Yoshi paused here for Ling Mo Zero to digest the information before continuing:
"I know that a long time ago, you humans were very inflated and called yourself the 'Spirit of All Things', but according to the research of our Frog Clan Great Elder, this title is very likely to be the truth, not just boasting!
Because you human beings are the only race in all planes that has a high degree of intelligence even if the content of magic elements in the body is zero, and only relies on the physical brain to think! It is precisely because of this trait that a special field will be generated around you human beings, even if your expressions and movements are well managed, I can also know your true emotions by observing the "field"!
Is there such a statement?!
Zero was greatly shocked in her heart, since she was born, all kinds of demonic beasts have intelligence, and humans are only members of the wisdom family, and there is nothing special about it. This matter is a matter of course for her, and now she suddenly heard from Yoshi's mouth that this common sense is wrong, human beings are special, and she feels that her worldview has been greatly impacted!
Is the wisdom of Warcraft actually based on the existence or absence of magical elements?
How is this possible?!
Zero instinctively turned his head to Ling Mo, but saw a thoughtful look on his face, not completely confused like himself, and couldn't help but be a little dazed:
What's going on? Why does Dad seem to be so much more receptive than himself? It's only been 300 years, is the world changing so fast?
Zero didn't know, in fact, it wasn't Ling Mo's strong receptivity, but because he wasn't from this world at all!
From his point of view, it is a strange thing that those animals, plants, and demonic beasts have intelligence! What he thought about just now was because he thought of his original world, if what Yoshi said was true, then removing the additional thing of "magic element", the current Noahfa continent would be highly similar to the original world!
In addition, the information revealed to Ling Mo by Jörmungad showed that he did not travel through space, but through time, based on this, Ling Mo had a bold guess in his heart:
Could it be that the magical elements on the Noahfa continent were artificially created?
These thoughts swirled in his mind, but he didn't reveal them on the surface, and just asked Yoshi:
"Where did you get this information? I've been wandering around the mainland for so many years, and my strength is several levels stronger than yours, but I haven't heard of this news, how did you learn about it? You can't tell me that you researched it yourself, right?"
"No, no, of course not, with my level of intelligence, and my ability to perceive things, I can't find out this kind of secret anyway. Even if I really found out about it, I would definitely doubt myself, and I wouldn't be so sure to tell you the truth. ”
Yoshi first waved his hand again and again, leaving aside his relationship with himself, and then raised his head proudly, showing off and said:
"All these discoveries are thanks to our Great Elder of the Toad Clan!
You know what? Our Great Elder is tens of thousands of years old! He existed in this world before your last generation of humanity perished!
The wise and wise Great Elder, with his countless years of wisdom, can always lead our clan to discover the secrets of the dust, avoid the sinister storm, and walk on the right path!
As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and tens of thousands of years of practical experience have proved that the Great Elder has always represented the requirements for the development of our nation's advanced productive forces, the direction of progress of our nation's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of our people!
The Great Elder is the beacon of our clan, the hope of our clan, and the immortal monument of our clan!
The great elder is blessed like the East China Sea, the longevity is better than the South Mountain, the glory is eternal, and the wisdom is eternal!
Great Elder—Hooray!Hooray!Hooray!!"
To tell the truth, at this moment, Yoshi's performance surprised Ling Mo a bit, a good frog, in the blink of an eye, he became a fanatical believer, expressing his fanatical worship for the "Great Elder" in the air, and even forgot to eat the extremely delicious frog meat dishes!
Looking at Yoshi's demeanor, Ling Mo had no doubt that if the "Great Elder" wanted Yoshi to sacrifice himself to contribute to the clan, Yoshi would probably commit suicide without hesitation, even if he was stripped of his bones and made into a high-necked belt of the Great Elder.
On the other hand, Ling Mo couldn't help but feel a little self-pity and discouragement:
Why is it that there are always groups of paranoid fanatical believers gathered around him? This is the case with his ex-girlfriend, like this, like this with Nia, like this with the mercury lamp, like this with his blood daughter, and even Yoshi, who has just been in contact with him for a short time! Is there something unclean about himself that is easy to attract fanatical believers?
Thinking of Yoshi's former teammates and ex-girlfriends, the scenes of the past passed in front of him like a movie, Ling Mo sighed lightly, and instantly lost interest in the so-called Great Elder.
But unfortunately, he was not interested, it did not mean that other things were not interested in this Great Elder, and the system's "dangdangdang" like a news* broadcast sounded at the right time, reminding him that he had received a new task:
"You triggered the Hidden Mission: Secrets of the Immortals. ”
"Mission Description: The Grand Elder of the Frog Clan is an extremely wise elder, and it is very beneficial to meet him, and you should be able to obtain a lot of crucial information from him. ”
Objective: Obtain the "Great Elder's Black-rimmed Glasses".
"Quest Reward: The Great Elder's high-necked belt for the chest. ”
"Mission time limit: 24 hours. ”
"Failure Penalty for Mission: This system can't punish you, you can do it yourself. ”
