Chapter 1054: Inspecting the Harem (7)

I looked closely at this little white flower, and found that its energy operation was really dull to the extreme, and its sense of aether was not very strong, and it could absorb a little bit, just like a trainee magician with very poor qualifications, and even unable to become a full-fledged magician for life.

This also dispelled my suspicion that the flower was not like the poisonous mushrooms of the wood plane, which could completely restrain the aetheric energy.

"It's just plain, it's not affected by toxins." I say.

Wayne looked at me puzzled.

"First of all, we have to understand, what is the nature of the toxin?" I sorted out my feelings when I met the swamp poison frog Jabbar in the jade swamp of the wood element plane, and said, "Toxins are things that have a destructive effect on living things or substances, their function is to deprive living beings of life, change the form of matter, and the toxins that deprive life are on your body, and some can corrode metals and melt rocks, of course, this kind of toxins can actually deprive lives, we can classify them so simply, the difference is too accurate, the point is, their source ......"

"Isn't the source of toxins ...... My body? Wayne said.

"There are also two kinds of sources, one is biosynthesis, such as you, such as Jabbar, such as poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, which I call biotoxins, and the other is a naturally occurring mixture, such as various ores, crystalline powders, and mixed poisons formed by blending, which belong to the abiotic collective," I said, "I didn't make it clear in the book, and I will ...... in the future Maybe you could write a book. ”

"Me? I haven't even finished reading the basics...... Wayne said.

"Then hurry up and read it, use our system to study toxins, you can ask Camfodo for advice." I say.

"Comford, too, is he, a magician, isn't he?" Wayne seems to be a little prejudiced against both Camver and Vincent.

"This is the first question I want to explain to you, the magician is not evil in doing experiments, just to find out the truth, this will be said later," I said, "first of all, you don't have to worry about him refusing or refuting you, here we all seek the truth with our hearts, don't worry about these differences of opinion, you should learn these things and then study how to treat injuries,"

"Well, I'll give it a try......" Wayne said.

"Let Xi Piyou make an appointment for you, he's still very busy." I said, "Let's go ahead and talk about toxins. ”

Wayne nodded, obviously a little bit of understanding.

"Abiotic toxins are highly toxic to both living and non-living things, but the poison on your body does not belong to this category, we will not talk about it for the time being," I continued, "The characteristic of biological toxins is to destroy something in the body of living things, to achieve the effect of damaging the whole life, the effect is specifically aimed at blood, nerves or certain substances in the body, blocking or destroying their operation, and eventually leading to the end of life, for example, non-biotoxins are like magma, poured into a city, the city is completely destroyed, and biotoxins are like a swarm of rats, they bite off the pillars of houses, make holes in the river embankments upstream of the city, and eventually cause houses to collapse and floods until the city is destroyed......"

This time, Wayne seemed to understand.

"So, how do you control those rats?" She rounded the question around.

I paused.

"Haha, I went around for a long time and got myself in!" Leo said.

"Hurry up and figure it out, I'll fool her." I had an idea.

"Really good at throwing pots!" Leo said.

I cleared my throat and said, "Then it's time to get to the essence of life." ”

Wayne looked curious again.

"The essence of life is metabolism, and also, to continue itself." I traced a little bit of what I learned when I fought with Angelica, "Metabolism is to continuously absorb matter and energy from the outside world, whether from living or non-living things, you can, and then, to expel unnecessary things and continue yourself, is to extend your life as long as possible, and at the same time, to leave your own offspring, that is, genetics, and these two essences, to a certain extent, need to do one thing, that is, to deprive other living beings of life." ”

Wayne was shocked.

"Of course, the deprivation of other lives for the sake of survival is barely understandable, and it is not evil, but the real evil is to deprive others of other lives for no reason, deliberately, and without affecting their own survival." I said, "This can answer a small part of your first question, but it's not comprehensive enough, let's put it in for a moment, and then let's talk about life, the kindest life is plants, plants only absorb water from the soil, oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air, and sunlight, and can synthesize everything necessary for survival, and animals, the weaker ones eat plants, the stronger plants and animals eat all, and the most powerful even eat only animals...... Isn't that the law of nature? ”

Wayne nodded.

I smiled and shook my head: "It's just appearances. ”

Wayne was stunned again.

I said, "Plants are indeed the bottom creatures in nature, we call them producers, these books are all there, if you are interested, you can discuss it with Danburo in the forest across the plains, he has lived in the Caspar Giant Tree Forest on the wood plane for a long time, and he also knows a lot about plants, in fact, some of the plants have also evolved the ability to devour animals, such as plants that eat insects or hunt small animals, you should have seen it?" ”

Vayne nodded again.

I went on to say, "There are also plants that have evolved defenses to defend themselves against animal ingestion, such as spikes, such as toxins......"

Wayne's eyes widened.

I didn't give her time to digest it, and then said, "One more thing, animals prey on each other in order to survive, do plants?" ”

Wayne nodded subconsciously.

"In order to get a better living space, large trees will block small amounts of sunlight, and even hang each other with their roots, and small grasses will poison the surrounding non-species with their own toxins...... And you, as a vine, should know about the vine hanging the giant tree, right? ”

Wayne's expression suddenly felt a little painful, she reached out to hold her head, and her tone was extremely depressed: "I, I remember, before awakening, I killed several trees......"

"Don't blame yourself, you're just trying to live for yourself, and those big trees, they don't have wisdom, they only have instinct," I said, "and if you swap identities with them, they'll do the same, because it's the instinct of life." ”

"You say that life itself is evil?" Wayne seemed to be collapsing.

"You forgot again, I said that killing other lives in order to survive is not evil," I said, "What's more, there is no intelligent creature, only the instinct to survive, you don't kill it, there are others who kill it, or it kills others, in short, the key to all this is wisdom again, you awaken and become a combination of elemental creatures and demonic beasts, and moreover, you realize good and evil, and you start to save those innocent little animals, which means that you have become a good creature after awakening." ”

Wayne seemed to have an understanding, and I continued to enlighten: "Then back to the present, you healed a rabbit that was injured in the experiment of the Ventrian magician, this rabbit went back to the cage, and saw a female rabbit feeding her cubs, so she went up to mate, and then, the female rabbit became pregnant and gave birth to a new rabbit, the cage is too small, the female rabbit will bite to death, because there is not enough space in the cage ......"

Wayne was stunned again.

"This is the instinct of living beings," I said, "and what about intelligent beings?" I have seen a group of ancient elves in the Caspar Giant Tree Forest, who will protect their cubs when they are in danger, and would rather die themselves than continue the survival of their offspring, this is the kindness and sacrifice of intelligent beings, which is incomprehensible to beings without intelligence. ”

Wayne continued to froze.

I gently plucked the little white flower and said, "You don't need to worry about good and evil, this is what I want to tell you, your good deeds are not wrong, but their meaning is only to show your goodness, as for those little animals, it doesn't matter, because they don't understand kindness, or rather, they only feel that if you are good to it, it is good, and if you are not good, it is evil, to go further, you are good to it, not good to its companions, it is to increase the chance of survival, this is good, and vice versa, it is evil...... And our good and evil are within a larger scope, for the sake of close relatives, for the sake of the same race, for the sake of one region, one plane, is it good, and then we invade other races, other planes, is it not good? Good and evil, hehe, there is no absolute between good and evil, only relative. ”

As I spoke, I raised the little white flower to my nose and sniffed it gently.

A faint fragrance penetrated my nostrils, and I said, "You see, I plucked it, and it was dead, and it was evil and hatred for it, but it had no ability to discern, and it had nothing to do with its race, because I could not destroy them......"

As I spoke, I put the little white flower back in and released a bit of wood to glue the broken stem back together.

"You see, it's alive again, so have I done any evil?" I said, "If it had wisdom, it would remember me, but it didn't, so, as long as it could live, it would be like nothing had happened." ”

Wayne continued to be in a daze.

"But!" I raised my voice, "This happened because I'll remember!" ”

Wayne's eyes widened.

I laughed: "Do you understand? ”

Wayne wanted to nod, nodded, shook his head again, and then nodded again, tangled.

I said, "I'll tell you a story about a minotaur kid who saw the fish washed up on the beach by the sea and was about to die on the beach, so he ran over and picked them up one by one and threw them back into the sea, but the beach was so big that there were so many fish that he couldn't finish picking them up, and then an old man asked him, you can't save them at all, why do you have to try?" The child said, "If I can save one, I can save one, and if I can save ten, I will save ten, at least they will survive......"

"I'll go, your chicken soup, it's original!" Leo said.

"Do you have a solution?" I asked.

"Not yet." Leo said.

"Then you're busy." I say.

Then I said, "The old man said that if you saved them, they would not remember you, and even if they went to sea, they might kill each other. The child said, "It's none of my business, I only do what I can, and I know that I am good and Mother Earth will bless me." ”

"And originality!" Leo said again.

This time, Wayne seemed to understand.

I'm kind of relieved.

Then, Wayne said, "You seem to have solved the first problem for me, and I won't question Vincent the Wizard anymore, but you don't seem to be done with the second question......"

I was shocked, and said without changing my face: "Don't worry, let's go on, recall, where did the toxins in your body come from?" ”

Wayne's mind seemed to be a little broader, and he said, "Yes, in the process of evolution, in order to protect yourself and attack the enemy......"

"Yes, including your kind," I said, "they think you're an alien, and they don't even want to live with you, they want to drive you away, because they follow their original instinct and use the toxins in their bodies to the extreme, and the toxins are your weapons and your shields, like the thorns of a hedgehog, and you try to give it up, like a hedgehog wants to pull out its own thorns......"

Wayne was stunned for a moment: "You mean that my idea is wrong?" ”

I asked her, "What do you think?" ”

Wayne was entangled: "However, you originally agreed that I would study healing here......"

I said, "I said you gave up your instincts, and I didn't say you were wrong. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Wayne began to struggle again.

"The instinct of living beings is to survive, if they live in an environment where there is no competition and plenty of food, they will become lazy and gluttonous and stupid, which is also instinct," I said, "but intelligent creatures are different, because wisdom allows creatures to see farther, so that people living in a superior environment can put down the enjoyment of life, to explore the truth of the world, to explore everything unknown, to challenge their own limits, and even, to challenge their own instincts!" ”

Wayne said, "So, I'm challenging my instincts! ”

I said, "Sort of, your wisdom has given birth to enough rationality to make you look for a way of survival that is more in line with the long-term interests, that is, to give up the toxin and use healing techniques to explore a higher level of evolution, but your strength is a little low, and until you find a suitable development path, you will not be able to get rid of the troubles caused by the toxin, and it will also alienate and even hostile your companions." ”

To be honest, my words didn't help her in any way, but I was able to make her understand her situation, which was the limit of what I could do.

More of it depends on Leo, and as for me, I have to continue to fool around......

Wayne was greatly inspired and looked at me in amazement: "It turns out that this is the reason why I am different from them!" I'm not an outlier, I'm not a deformed freak! ”

"No, you're an anomaly," I said, "but you're not a freak. ”

"What's the difference?" Wayne asked again.
