Chapter 116: In-depth discussion
Emmett looked at her strong muscles, and then at Li Huan's obviously smaller figure, shook her head and said, "Lee, where are all the things you eat?" Those things pile up a lot heavier than you. ”
Li Huan grinded some pepper on the deer's leg, took a big bite, and said in confusion: "I don't know, I never dare to let go of eating, for fear of eating myself poor." ”
Alice said with some envy: "Seeing that you eat so well, I regret that I am not a human being." ”
Li Huan asked curiously, "Then have you tried to eat human food?" ”
Alice shook her head regretfully: "We can't eat those, just like humans can't eat steel, they can't digest and they can't satisfy hunger." ”
"That's a pity, it looks like I can't be a vampire anymore, and the food can't be disappointed." Li Huan drank all the wine that had been treasured in the cup for decades.
After a meal, the Karen family almost treated Li Huan like family.
Dr. Cullen said that the exchange with Li Huan meant that their family was not as corrupt as the aristocrats of Europe.
"The aristocracy of Europe? Are there a lot of vampires out there too? ”
Li Huan sat next to Emmett, watching TV with the others, holding a pot of fruit in his arms. Listening to Karen's words, he questioned.
Karen showed a look of reminiscence: "If it is just a formal family member, there are not many in Europe, but counting the vassal guards, there is the largest family in the vampire world - Voltu. They are also the default royalty, setting the rules that vampires all over the world must follow. ”
Li Huan continued to inquire more about the news: "Rules? How many of them there were, and do ten thousand have them? ”
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
Karen couldn't help but smile and said, "If you only count the official family members, we are the largest family. Voltu's law does not allow the arbitrary conversion of new individuals. Vampires should be hidden in the shadows and not exposed to sunlight. ”
Li Huan counted in surprise, "Seven people? It's the biggest? Are there many vampire families in the rest of the world? One for every city? ”
Emmett laughed loudly, "There won't be more vampire families than the strawberries on your plate. ”
Li Huan looked down and saw that he had already eaten half of the strawberries, and there were less than thirty left on the plate.
"So little?" He was surprised, "Why?" That's almost catching up with the number of first-class protected animals. ”
"Hahaha......"
Alice laughed, "You have such a good sense of humor, no one has ever described us as a protected animal." ”
Li Huan said seriously: "That's because human beings don't know about your existence. Seriously, why wouldn't the Voltu family allow the conversion of new individuals at will? Rules are meant to be broken. Or is there any reason why you have to hide in the sun? For example, the sun can cause you harm? ”
He thought that the Cullens were out playing baseball during thunderstorms, and that Fox Town rarely had sunny days of the year, so it wasn't for nothing that they chose to live here.
"Sunlight doesn't hurt us, it makes us shine, it's completely different from humans, and people can tell at a glance who is different," Cullen explains. ”
"What's wrong with the aliens?" Li Huan was puzzled, "There is always a part of the human race that hates to remain the same, and the number is definitely more than the sum of you. ”
Alice looked at Li Huan very strangely: "I'm curious, you have such a concept, why can you keep holding back and not moving?" ”
Li Huan shrugged his shoulders: "A gorilla taller than a house appeared in the human world, and it was useless for me to hang a sign on my chest that 'will not actively attack humans', and I don't know if the firearm will kill me, or a nuclear bomb?" ”
Alice took the opportunity to say: "Look, you know very well what will happen to you. Do you know how people treated exposed vampires from hundreds of years ago? Do you know how people treated a woman who was considered a witch? ”
Li Huan nodded: "I know." ”
He had spoken to the Emperor of France about these topics, and he had a bitter argument with Innocent III, "for which I have criticized the popes of the Middle Ages." ”
Emmett laughed and said, "Brother, if you live longer than Carlisle, I believe you have criticized the Pope." ”
Carlisle is Dr. Karen's name.
Li Huan was not led off the topic: "Even if the vampire encountered a blow in the Middle Ages, the times are different now. And you can not suck human blood, I think humans should be more tolerant of you. ”
Karen Carlisle, who had been smiling gently, said, "Lee, I appreciate what you've said for us. But we don't just need to hide because of the world's gaze, there are two other important reasons. ”
"What?" Li Huan was puzzled.
"First, our strength, speed, and defense are stronger than any of the strongest creatures in the world, and each individual has a chance to gain surreal abilities. Humans will never tolerate that we have such an advantage, and they will do everything they can to deal with us. Cullen said.
"Second, animal blood can only sustain our survival, and even weaken our strength, and the individual who sucks human blood can always remain at its peak, and the desire to suck blood cannot be restrained. I think we are the only family that adheres to vegetarianism. It is impossible for human beings to negotiate with food, and even if some human beings insist that food has human rights. ”
After Karen said so much in one breath, everyone fell into thought.
Li Huan thought about it, if these reasons were combined, it would indeed make things very complicated.
"Hasn't humanity thought about a win-win situation? For example, meet the basic requirements of vampires, and then use the vampire's abilities to develop technology. ”
Cullen shook his head: "There is no win-win situation in the United States, they only win twice. ”
Emmett said, "I seem to understand something. Lee, do you think that's unfair to us? Always hidden. ”
Li Huan nodded and said, "That's right, I think the party with power is retreating step by step, which is unreasonable." ”
Alice giggled and said, "Lee, we're only strong individually, but humans are strong collectively. And we are no longer able to resist the various weapons invented by mankind. ”
Emmett complained a little: "Yes, I always wonder why humans should research bigger and faster bullets when a bullet can kill a person?" ”
Jasper, the newest member of the Cullen family, who had been reticent all along, suddenly spoke, "Humans are always happy to study how to kill their own kind more efficiently. ”
Li Huan concluded: "OK, so the conclusion is that the exposed vampires will not only be sanctioned by the Voltu family, but will also be hunted down by humans?" It's pathetic. ”
