Chapter 615: Half-Blood Son (I)

Seeing the appearance of this bearded man, expressions of disdain and disgust appeared on everyone's faces.

It is clear that the bearded man has a part of the orc bloodline, and this part of the orc blood is likely from his mother. In other words, it is likely that this bearded man was the illegitimate son of a human father.

In the era of interstellar colonization, there was no clear law in the Human Federation, and the human race could not intermarry with other races, but not intermarrying with foreign races was a potential law in itself.

By human standards, orcs are ugly and hideous, rude and rude, always loud and loud when they speak, and their voices are deafening, which is completely inconsistent with the aesthetic concept of human society.

Normal humans think that their race is the most beautiful race, and of course, most people also admit that the noble race of the spirit race is also very beautiful.

If allowed, humans would prefer to intermarry with the Elves in order to produce more beautiful and powerful hybrid offspring. It's a pity that humans have this heart, but the spirit race doesn't.

The spirit race is a racial talent with divine precision, and they have no quarrel with the world, even if their race's ability can defeat the proud humans, they have no intention of competing for supremacy, which is in conflict with the nature of human beings.

Moreover, their average lifespan can reach 500 years, and their spiritual leaders, elders, can even live to thousands of years. The average life expectancy of human beings is now 100 years old, and the rich and nobles with good conditions can reach more than 200 years old.

Such an age gap also means that when a Spirit Race is still in the adolescence of two hundred years old, the same two hundred years old human is already too old to bite the flesh and can't climb into bed.

The gap in the upper limit of life expectancy is destined to make lovers across two races fall in love with each other for a lifetime.

Not only that, but the way the spirit race raises its offspring is completely different from that of humans. After the human woman conceives in October, she adopts the lactation method to raise her offspring, while the pregnancy cycle of the spirit woman is a full ten years, and it will not affect the body for the first nine years, only in the last year, you need to rest and recuperate. And once a spirit woman gives birth to a spirit baby, someone will immediately take the baby away and send it to the spirit world tree, and the branches and leaves of the world tree will give the spirit baby nutrition.

Once the spirit baby grows up, it will be taken care of by all the spirit people, and there will be no distinction between who is the mother and whose father.

In this way, the spirit people will be like a family, and the women who have been mothers will love every child, and the men who have been fathers will also love every child. The same is true between children, everyone is each other's brothers and sisters, loving and helping each other.

Anthropologists have always ridiculed that this method of reproduction is very backward and tends to cause close blood brothers and sisters to unite without knowing it, which is contrary to ethics.

But for the spirit clan, the selfish love that only cares about their children is the source of disharmony, and it is much stricter than the so-called "ethics" imposed on themselves.

In addition, the spirit clan has always been arrogant, firmly believing that they are the true dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, and one day the true dragon will return to the Pandaria star field where they live, leading them to eternal bliss. Therefore, they are completely disdainful of the inferior human beings, and only cooperate with the human race for the sake of the war agreement, and it is impossible for the Spirit Race to combine with the human race.

In comparison, the average age of the orcs is about the same as that of humans, and even slightly shorter than that of humans. Normal orc women can mature and give birth to children at the age of twelve, and only need to be five months pregnant, and the rate of reproduction is twice as fast as that of humans.

Due to years of fighting against humans, especially in the second half of the interstellar colonial war, after the orcs lost their strength advantage, the average lifespan of orcs was reduced to 50 years old, but if there were no unfavorable factors, it was normal for orcs to live to 100 years old.

The way the beast tribe treats the offspring is similar to that of humans, and the social structure is also similar to that of humans.

Each clan had a prophet and a chief, the prophet was responsible for sacrifices and oracles, as well as dealing with intra-orc disputes, the prophet was generally an orc woman, and the patriarch was responsible for hunting and expeditions, generally held by men.

The nine major tribes united to elect a great prophet and an orc emperor, and this was the whole picture of the entire orc society.

Now, the society of the orcs has fallen apart because of the loss of the war, and the nine major tribes have been shattered by the impact of humans, losing the territory passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors, becoming homeless interstellar wanderers, and often attacked and robbed by human mercenaries, the younger ones will be captured and sold as slaves, and the older ones are likely to be killed directly.

Therefore, it is not for nothing that the orcs hate humans, in the eyes of the orcs, humans are out-and-out invaders, and almost every orc takes it as their mission to restore the orc homeland.

However, it is a pity that with the defeat of the war, the death of the Beast Emperor, the nine major tribes are gradually declining, four hundred years have passed, and the beast tribes have only fought a few small-scale wars, and then they can no longer organize a decent counterattack.

Human beings have become the masters of the entire universe.

Even in such racial contradictions, there will still be exceptions. For example, this bearded man who was sitting and drinking at the top of the Earl's Court. His maternal lineage is very lowly in the eyes of humans, but the status given to him by his paternal lineage is noble enough.

On his burly body was a garment hand-sewn by a master tailor of the capital star of St. Teresa, and the garment was also adorned with precious gems from all over the universe.

Needless to say, the fact that a person with half-orc blood can enter the Earl's Court and become a guest is enough to show that he is a person of status, and not just a son of a slave.

"Lord Yale, you look very happy."

As the aftermath gradually disappeared, the guests present calmed down a little, and in order to hide their panic just now, some of them deliberately pointed the finger at the unhurried bearded man, and sneered.

"Hehe, I think I'm afraid Lord Yale was slow to react and mistook the earthquake just now for a song and dance performance, right?"

"Hey, man, how can you say that about our incomparable Yale-sama? His father is the Grand Duke of Saint-Teresa! As for Mother, hehe, I've only heard that our white Grand Duke of Roland is extremely heavy-" R1148
