Chapter 53: Lost
"What's the big deal about this! Can these things be compared to human life!" Colleen felt even more annoyed, she didn't think that the reason for the other party's resolute refusal was such a trivial matter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It can't be said that Colleen was too ruthless, but at that time there was no awareness of protecting animals, just like in ancient times on the earth, the ancients wished that the jackals, tigers and leopards would be exterminated, in their eyes, whether the animal race is endangered or not cannot be compared with human life.
But Hansen's words shocked and shocked Jacqueline far beyond others, including Chu Shou, who was ahead of her environmental awareness.
"Why is this ?......happening?" Jacqueline looked at the Arctic deer herd in the distance, and her heart was very painful, "In order to save the life of Teacher Fippley, is it necessary to exterminate this harmless animal? Why do you have to make such a choice? By the way, from birth to death, people are constantly harming other lives, no, this kind of behavior is not limited to animals, is it true that the vegetables and grains that we eat, the trees that we cut down, are they really emotionless? Why? Why does man have to kill other lives in order to survive, is there no other way, or is it that man is born full of sin?"
Jacqueline, who is good-natured and guided by Seluna, is now gradually walking towards the dead-end thought of self-destruction, her eyes begin to wander, and she stands still in place.
The master's abnormality was noticed by Chu Shou, he felt that the girl seemed to be trembling slightly, at first the little tentacle monster thought that Jacqueline felt cold, but gradually he felt more and more wrong.
Jacqueline's whispered muttering was heard by Chu Shou, and he was sure that the girl had fallen into the devil again.
At this time, Chu Shou hated so much, thinking that the reason why Jacqueline had such strange thoughts, he really thanked the beast woman for her "guidance". Knowing this, Chu Shou regretted that his subordinates were merciful at that time, and he should have directly let that beast beauty become a sow that could not be separated from him, obediently and willingly be raised, and then slowly punish him himself.
Jacqueline refused to eat meat all the way, but only took bread and water, which made her body become thin again, and she shivered in the cold wind all the way, which made everyone feel sorry.
Chu Shou really wanted to enlighten Jacqueline, but unfortunately he couldn't appear in front of everyone as a human during this time, and the tentacle monster form was difficult to communicate with humans, which made him also very troubled.
In the end, Chu Shou could only stretch out his tentacle and gently pat Jacqueline's head to prevent her from continuing to think nonsense.
After Jacqueline was awakened by Chu Shou, she smiled apologetically at the summoned beast and looked around, hoping to find other countermeasures.
On the other hand, the argument between Colleen and the Pisces dwarves is heating up.
"Why don't you understand?!, what are you going to do?!" Colleen said to Hansen, "I never thought the dwarves would learn from the elves and love nature so much!"
"That's not the case!" Nibin hurriedly explained, "We dwarves have a special affection for the Arctic deer!"
Hansen was not in a hurry, he lit his pipe, slowly swallowed a puff of smoke, and then spit it out leisurely.
Tobacco is also a specialty of southern Xinjiang and is a rarity in the dwarf country. This kind of thing was originally used as a material to smoke and repel mosquitoes, but gradually people discovered its refreshing function, and it evolved into a hobby.
However, tobacco is not popular among humans, and the Great Sage Kingdom believes that swallowing smoke and spitting smoke is a devil's trait, and humans cannot imitate it. Under the advocacy of the Great Sage Kingdom, human beings did not become infected with the habit of smoking.
However, for the orcs and dwarves who were not controlled by the faith of the Great Sage Kingdom, they liked this feeling of swallowing smoke and spitting smoke very much.
Chu Shou saw the ecstasy posture of the old dwarf smoking, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This image is simply the standard meaning of 'love to do it, don't do it', it seems that it is not easy to persuade this group of dwarves to leave!"
"What do you mean by that?" Colleen was a little confused when she heard Nibin say that dwarves had a special affection for Arctic deer, which was not found in books.
"A long time ago, we dwarves had a war with the elves, and in the end, under the alliance between humans and elves, the dwarves suffered a crushing defeat and were expelled. Nibin thought about it and decided to tell Colleen the story.
Jacqueline also knew about this history, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but glance at all the dwarves, hoping that the dwarves would not become hostile to them because of this.
The situation was better than expected, and many dwarves seemed to them to be nothing more than a very ordinary piece of history, and it was not a shame, so they did not show much emotion.
Nibin continued: "When our ancestors were driven to the North Pole, this terrible cold land, there was a sense of despair in all of us - cold, hunger, whiteness with no end in sight, in short, an element of despair.
Our ancestors began to pray to the goddess of courage for her to show the dwarves a path of hope.
However, many days passed, but the blessing of the goddess of courage did not come, and many people died in the land of ice and snow.
Our ancestors didn't know where to go, and they were confused about the future.
At this time, a herd of arctic deer appeared, and our ancestors were very happy to round up this herd of arctic deer and replenish the food in time. The remaining living Arctic deer were domesticated to a certain extent by their ancestors, allowing them to carry the load for them.
Since our ancestors didn't know where to go, they simply didn't choose the direction and let the Arctic deer lead the way.
Along the way, our ancestors encountered many herds of Arctic deer that replenished our ancestors with labor and food. After a few days, the Arctic deer finally brought our ancestors to this valley.
The green valley was full of hope and life, and it was able to withstand the cold of the north wind, so our ancestors decided to settle here and start a new life.
And the Arctic deer that guides the way and brings us hope is actually the messenger of the goddess of courage. For this reason, we dwarves feel guilty for killing these Arctic deer to replenish their food, and in doing so, we vow that the dwarves will never kill any Arctic deer again. ”
Speaking of this, Nibin paused, and his expression suddenly became depressed: "But even if we stop killing the Arctic deer, since the arrival of the dwarves, the number of Arctic deer has been decreasing, and it is on the verge of extinction. ”
Jacqueline listened to this story, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, she could fully understand the feelings of the dwarves, if it weren't for the danger of Teacher Phipley's life, she might have immediately joined the ranks of the Pisces dwarves and acted to protect the Arctic deer.
When she heard this, she was also saddened, and whispered, "No wonder I always heard my father say that he saw an arctic deer when he was a child, but I have never seen one when I am so old." ”
Colleen kept apologizing to the dwarves, she was more sensitive than the others, and she was annoyed that she had hurt the dwarves in ignorance.
"It's over, the whole army is annihilated...... Chu Shou kept wailing in Jacqueline's breast pocket, the story just now was like a series of straight punches from an excellent boxer, beating his own people to the point that they couldn't fight. Even Chu Shou himself thought that the Arctic deer should not be exterminated again. (To be continued.) )
