Chapter 13: The Rysers
The inquiring gazes that fell on him were a little difficult for Mano to follow, especially the two extremely incomprehensible gazes from the priest. Because, the pair of blue-blue eyes hardly had any emotional fluctuations, and his demeanor was always elegant and rigorous, although there was no sense of detachment, it was cramped and unsettling because he could not read.
"This kid found you, right?" the priest asked Mano in Le Peilian's voice, but there was not the slightest doubt in his tone, which showed that this was an affirmation, not a question.
Although he had already explained it at the beginning, Mono still replied seriously, "On the coast of Limbo City, he suddenly appeared in front of me and asked me to bring him here to find Xiluo, we haven't met before. ”
"But your encounter is inevitable. The priest said.
"Why?" "Mono was surprised, he had always thought it was just an accident.
"Because, only what we look for each other will eventually meet, this is the law of nature. The priest's voice was cold and cold, like a spring flowing in the mountains, light and noble. You may not realize it at the moment, but in fact, all your experiences are driven by the desires of your soul. This is the same as Xiluo being brought to a small island in the South China Sea by the wind and waves, it seems to be an accidental phenomenon on the surface, but everything happens for a reason. ”
Is that really the case? Mano couldn't help but ask himself, was this really the longing of his soul? He was shocked to find that he could not deny the priest's words. When I suddenly thought that when I first met, the child stated "You go with me to find Silo", instead of asking "You take me to Silo", could it be that there is actually some kind of relationship between him and this child that he does not know?
Immediately afterwards, the priest asserted: "The mother who gave birth to you is a Lepeli. ”
"I've never met my parents. "Thirty years ago, a few half-blooded people picked me up as a baby in the mountains and forests in the southern part of the Eastern Continent and brought it back to the Western Continent to raise me. In addition to my body size, judging by the color of my hair and eyes, at least one of my parents must be Fiji, right?"
Mono's speculation is not unfounded. Because, among the indigenous groups of the Lepeilian world, there is only one ethnic group that will have a combination of black hair and blue eyes in their physical characteristics, and that is the Fijian people. Even if you haven't met your parents, you can easily see this. Of course, not all Fiji people are black-haired and blue-eyed, and a very small number of them have brown-red hair. However, among the Lepeilian people in the eastern continent and the Savoyard people in the western continent, the combination of "black hair and blue eyes" will hardly appear.
"Your father is not a Leppelin, only a mother. But because you're a Risssi, it's natural that you haven't seen the mother. Later, the priest commented, "More than 1,300 years ago, the Fiji people were expelled from the Eastern Continent by the Lepelian people, and it is rare to be able to hide in the Eastern Continent and continue to reproduce, and after a thousand years, they are still safe and sound. From ancient times to the present, the Fijian people are indeed the most intelligent people among the aborigines of the world. ”
"Why is it natural that I haven't seen my mother?" asked Mano puzzled, especially the unfamiliar words in the priest's words. "You mean, I'm actually a Rysser, but what race is 'Ryssi'? I've never heard of it. ”
Of course, the priest could understand the confusion of the demon field. After all, Mono had always lived as a Lepeilian in the past, and knew almost nothing about the history of the Streamers. Therefore, if he tried to understand the affairs of the Streamer Clan with the common sense of the Lepelian people, it would be almost useless. However, it is not easy for Mono to immediately abandon his old cultural concepts and adopt a new way of understanding a race that he has never really come into contact with, and to integrate into it.
The priest looked indifferent and did not have the slightest impatience, and explained in as much detail as possible: "You should know that among the original ethnic groups of the Lepeilian world, there are three main ethnic groups that still survive to this day, namely the Lepeilian people in the eastern continent, the Savoy people in the western continent, and the Fidian people on the sea. They are biologically of the same race, and they are very similar in appearance, and have not differentiated into other forms. ”
"Yes. Of course, Moye knows that although there are some differences in appearance between the indigenous groups, it is nothing more than genetic differences in hair color, eye color, skin color, body shape and other diversity caused by factors such as geography, climate and living habits, and the silhouette shape is still the same, which is easy to understand.
"But streamers are different. The priest continued, "We come from another world, and to the Lepelians we are indeed aliens, and have very different biological characteristics. The Streamers have divided into a total of twelve groups of different forms, each with its own form name. But no matter how different the external morphology is, we still belong to the same family and the same species-Streamers. They and I are both Silven forms of the Streamer Clan, and are generally referred to as Silvens internally. And you, the Rysersi of the Streamer Clan. ”
"Since they all come from the same race, why is there such a big difference in physical appearance?" said Mano in surprise.
"The education you have received in the past, the common sense you know, including habits and concepts, all come from the world of Lepei. Unless you can completely get rid of the shackles of the old way of knowing, it will be difficult to understand the world of the streamers. Only Lepelian would judge things in terms of 'depictable external states', which is a narrow and one-sided way of knowing. The reason why they collectively call us aliens is not because they really realize that we belong to the same race, but because they do not have a grasp of our language, let alone the names of our forms and the history of our origins. In fact, for the Streamers, the real difference between races is not in their appearance, but in their souls. The priest said.
"Distinguish by souls...... "Mono had to begin to try to accept this fact and learn to understand it, though he still didn't understand the priest's words for now.
"The reason why it is natural to say that the Rysersi have not seen the mother body is determined by the characteristics of the Rysersi......
With the priest's explanation, Moye gradually learned that the gender characteristics of the streamers were completely different from those of Lepeilian. Lepelian people usually have only two sex characteristics: male and female. But there are three genders of streamers, namely: male, complex and asexual. Asexual groups are a form that does not have any gender characteristics, and they do not reproduce by means of procreation, but gradually evolve or divide themselves from other forms. The resexual group is the form of fertility.
The most important thing is that the Streamer Man is not a mammalian lifeform, does not nurse offspring in the way of lactation, and does not have any mammalian organs on the body. Therefore, the renatural form of the streamer and the female of the Lepelian are two completely different concepts, with essential differences. Moreover, each renatal morphology itself already combines both male and female characteristics.
In addition, the streamers are all tall and magnificent, and if you judge by the cognitive way of the Lepelian people, you will think that their body posture is more similar to that of males. But in fact, even if it is a male, the male form of the Streamer is very different from the male of the Lepelian people. Because, the Streamer Man has no beard and body hair (except for hair), the skin is smooth and translucent, and there are many subtle differences from the Lepelian Man in terms of body structure, and the internal organs are even more different, and the heart of the Streamer Man is located in the center of the chest cavity.
Sylven belongs to the complex morphological group, while the Rysersian side is the male morphological group. Therefore, the Rethesi people cannot reproduce on their own, and must rely on the fertile Streamer Clan's redual form to help them reproduce. Moreover, the descendants of the Resersi are all male without exception, and no other gender forms will appear.
"It sounds like the Rysersi feel a bit like Lepeilian's half-bloods, they're all half-bloods...... "Mano wondered.
"No!" corrected the priest at once, "it is easy to understand that the Lepelen half-bloods are the offspring of the arbitrary union of various indigenous groups, and their physical traits are inherited from both parents, both male and female. However, the Rysersi of the Streamer Clan are completely different, and they are the offspring produced by the fusion of the Rysersi form unilaterally, separately and the various recomplex forms of the Streamer Clan, through the fusion of blood, which is absolutely predatory and coercive. Because, no matter what kind of renatal form the Rethesi combine with the Streamer Clan, the offspring produced will only be the Rethesi Man, that is, the absolute male form. This is a fixed genetic evolution in which both blood and body structure form at the same time. ”
"I don't really understand......" Mono was a little dazed. What the priest mentioned was common knowledge to the streamers, but it was like a puzzle to the current Mono, and it would be difficult for him to understand if he couldn't break through the limitations of his old way of knowing.
Of course, the priest understood the confusion of the demon field, so he patiently explained: "The Rysersi mean in the streamer: hidden, or hidden. In other words, the essence of the Rethesi is hidden within their physical form. The Streamers have two fixed mandatory genetic traits: one is their physical morphology and the other is their blood......"
At first glance, it may seem a bit contradictory, but through the priest's explanation, Mano slowly learns that the reason why the priest said that it was natural that he had not seen his mother was that every mother who had conceived a baby would lose her life at the same time as the birth of the baby Ressersi, without exception. Therefore, the people of Rysersi generally only remember their father, not their mother. In other words, the lives of the Rysersi were actually paid for at the cost of the sacrifice of their mothers, which was determined by the coercive characteristics in their blood.
However, the physical form of every Rethesi will be inherited from the mother without exception, except for the gender characteristics. Appearance is the only one in the life of the Resersi who comes from the mother, and will follow the appearance of the memory for a lifetime. This is one of the mandatory genetic traits that the Rysersi can never change.
It is precisely because the parent body of the Rysersi comes from other complex groups with different morphologies in the Streamer Clan, so the Rysersi are the only independent group in the Streamer Clan that has a variety of physical and morphological characteristics at the same time. This means that their fathers and children are not necessarily the same.
"In that case, how do the Streamers distinguish the Rysersi from the other complex form groups?" This form trait sounded contradictory, and it made the demon even more confused.
In fact, the priest had already warned him that it would not be helpful if Mano continued to understand these issues in the way that Lepeilian was accustomed to. After all, the Streamer and the Lepeilian are not only different in appearance, but also have great differences in physique and perception ability, and more importantly, there is a huge difference in the way and process of understanding the world. The streamers didn't need to speculate hard about the answer to this question like Mono did, they could judge it just by their innate perception. Because the streamer is able to perceive and observe—things that the Lepelian people cannot perceive or imagine—many things.
To put it simply, streamers perceive the world mainly through their souls. Of course, the perception of the five senses is also a way of perception, but the soul has nothing to do with the perception of the five senses. Soul perception is a very profound and broad ability that transcends the perception of the five senses, it can penetrate anything, even out of the body, and obtain more knowledge and information from distant places that are difficult to reach the five senses.
However, the Lepelian people can only observe the world through five sensory organs, and in these limited ways, they have acquired existing knowledge and experience. It is precisely because their knowledge is relatively one-sided, that the results of their thinking can only stay at a relatively narrow level. And Moye's current thinking habits are also limited by this.
"The fundamental difference between Resissi and other complex morphological groups is not in appearance, but in blood. It is precisely because of the peculiarity of the blood that the Rysersi are called the Rysersians......" the priest continued.
The strongest thing about the Streamer Rysersi is their bloodline. The blood of the Rysersi has a special name: the blood of ice and fire. This is another mandatory genetic trait inherent in the reproduction process of the Rysersi - the blood derived from their father, and the fundamental difference between the Rites and other morphological groups of the Streamers.
There is no other form of blood in the Streamers, and they can have a unique name on their own, like the blood of the Rysers. It can be seen that the blood of the Rysersi is a very special existence. Every Rethesi, no matter which renapillarated form of the Streamer Clan from which his outward physical features originate, their inner blood traits are fixed and cannot be disguised.
Each form group of the Streamer Clan has its own special abilities, but only the physical abilities of the Rysersi are inherited from both parents, especially the ice and fire blood from their father, so that they have the ability not to be afraid of ice and fire.
When the Rysersi are exposed to the heat and dryness, their blood turns orange, which strengthens their bodily functions, allowing them to adapt quickly to the heat, even when trapped in the flames. Conversely, when they are exposed to the cold, their blood turns silvery blue, and their bodies naturally adapt to their new surroundings, allowing them to remain normal even if everything around them freezes into ice. Under mild conditions that are neither lukewarm nor lukewarm, the color of blood is the neutralizing color of the front and back - blue-violet.
In fact, the color change of the blood of the Resersi is also reflected on the surface of the body, that is, the color of the halo emitted by their biological light. The hue of these rays must echo the color state of the blood in their bodies at that time.
Each streamer is a natural luminary, which is the result of evolution due to the primitive living environment of this race, and the Resersi are certainly no exception. However, what the Rethesi emit is a "dark light", which is as recessive as the name of their form. Although dark light and bright light are both light, this kind of hidden light color cannot be observed or perceived by the visual organs of the Lepelian people, so the Lepelian people do not know the existence of dark light. Only streamers can easily tell the difference, because this is their innate ability to perceive. This is also the reason why Mono finds that his body is glowing, but the people around him are unaware of it.
On the other hand, because Moye inherited the appearance characteristics of the Lepei people of the mother's body, except for the tall body that looks a little abrupt among the Lepe Lian people, if you just observe it from the surface, you really can't find more suspicious places. Therefore, he spent thirty years unharmed. In the past, although he was very clever in hiding his differences, he inevitably felt lonely and lost. Today, the mystery of his long-baffling life story has finally been revealed.
