133.Balance (Alliance Leader Plus Update)
After the embarrassing remark at the beginning, Fisher was almost certain that the "paranormal incident" he had encountered was a prank by the whale species that had left the information on the rock wall.
It's impossible to comment on how bad this whale race is, but it reminds Fisher of Renee's bad woman, and if Renee is there, she absolutely loves this kind of prank...
After a second's pause, Fisher shook his head and shook the extra thoughts out of his head, allowing Jasmine to move on to the next paragraph.
Sheat behind her was still half-dead with her mouth open, and it could be seen that the subhumans of the centaur race were really not very good at water, plus she was the closest person to the ghost just now, and this coming-and-going, physical and psychological double blow directly made her almost out of her body.
Anna watched without saying a word as the two of them studied the contents of the stone wall, and she wanted to open her mouth to remind them to hurry to Nari Lake, but after thinking about it, Siat had not woken up yet, and it was only early at midnight, and she arrived at the waterway much earlier than expected, so she stopped talking.
Jasmine in front of the stone wall leaned closer, first read and filtered the rest of the content, and then looked at Fisher happily and said,
"There's no prank in the rest of the content, it's about the travel impressions left by the predecessor of the whale race, I'll take a look..."
Later, she translated it in the appropriate Nari language while reading the content,
"'It's been a year since I came ashore at the bottom of the sea', ah, here we use the term "year" in the bottom of the sea, not "year"..."
Jasmine was afraid that speaking Nari would confuse the two concepts, so she emphasized it here, and only after Fisher nodded did she continue to translate the above words,
"It's been a year since I came ashore, and I've been fascinated by the sun, but today I have to leave here and return to my hometown. When you leave, there are many things you want to confide in your heart, and no one around you listens, so you have to write them all down here as a record, if there are other whale people who can also come here, you can also gain a thing or two, it will definitely help you on your journey on shore."
"First of all, it is important to emphasize that there is a boundary between land and sea. Once you cross the line, what you get here costs just as much. The light, the vitality, the freedom do not belong to us, and the consequences of imposing them are not something you or I can bear. Remember the teachings of La Mastia: Life is balanced. ”
"And what if it's not for the light in front of you, but for the sake of some land-based creature? I don't know how to persuade you, but you should understand that the sweetness of love is like poison, and in the end you will not be able to get out of it no matter what. I just want to tell you one thing about the characteristics of our whale race that have been passed down from generation to generation..."
"Love, as a radiant blessing, will give you unrivaled courage; Love, but also an unforgettable curse, will leave a wound that will never heal. ”
"That's it, say goodbye on the spot, goodbye!"
Jasmine read to the end, and Fisher groped her chin and kept chewing on the messages on the stone wall, many of which were very interesting.
First of all, the whale race that left the above message has been wandering the human world for a whole year and has benefited a lot from it, but he seems to have discovered the secret of some whale race, so he decided to leave the land...
Life is balanced...
This keyword made Fisher think of many things, especially the characteristics of the subhuman race that he had already studied, and he vaguely felt that there was a very strange balance between the creatures of various races.
To use a similar analogy, take the dragon race as an example.
The physical strength of the individual dragon race is recognized as a first-class strength in both the Southern and Western continents, and a qualified adult dragon warrior can even destroy a slave hunting team of dozens of people with guns by himself.
It stands to reason that with their extremely strong individual ability, they should have been unrivaled in the Southern Continent...
Note that here, and the races discussed later, should be temporarily excluded from the prophecy of the end of the world.
Because Fisher has discovered that once the things in this world have a little connection with the completion of the manual, they will instantly go beyond common sense, and there is no corresponding logic at all, Philorn's soul technology, Blake's biological weapon technology...
Well, it's not a matter of finishing the manual with his own sub-mother, it seems to be a bit embarrassing compared to the two, because it is full of bonuses except for reproduction and bad taste, and the rest of Fisher doesn't seem to get anything...
Back to the point, on this premise, although the dragon race is strong, it is also endowed with very harsh conditions for reproduction.
A dragon couple can have a lot of children, but it is very likely that all their children will be single, as long as one child successfully marries at the end of the year, it can be regarded as an ancestral virtue, and the marriage of two couples can directly declare happy events in the entire tribe.
Thinking about it this way, Rafael can only be said to be able to deal with Fisher, and his luck can only be said to be too good to burst.
As a consequence of this harsh breeding situation, the overall number of dragon races in the Southern Continent is actually very small.
Fisher theorized that the hierarchy of life that Elliog spoke of corresponds to the individual, and that all races could indeed be ranked in a class of three, six, or nine according to the individual, but once placed in the eyes of the whole population, they would maintain some kind of "balance".
On the other hand, according to previous research on Jasmine, their lifespan is very long, and the rate of reproduction is very similar to that of humans, without any obstacles to reproduction, and there is a twin ability system of blessing and curse...
According to this situation, their physical strength can fight with the dragon race, and their lifespan is countless times longer than that of the dragon race, and their reproductive ability is not affected... Isn't this what is Ramastia's hooligan's preference for biological children?
Other than that, Fisher could not find any plausible explanation.
But now this slate brings another possibility of balance...
Thinking of this, Fisher looked at Jasmine next to him and asked,
"Jasmine, do you feel any difference between you when you go ashore and when you are in the sea?"
"There are many, many differences..."
As soon as she mentioned this, Jasmine had a lot to say, she crossed her fingers and said them one by one, with a happy smile on her face,
"Hmm... First of all, there is a lot of good food, you can talk to a lot of people, you can see a lot of sunshine every day, and you can be with Fisher. I'm happy every day on land, and I feel a lot slower than when I'm under the sea..."
"Much slower?"
"Ah, when I said that, I suddenly remembered..."
Jasmine tapped her chin with her finger, suddenly remembered something, looked at the words on the wall and said,
"My mother once told me that the whale race was the most sluggish race in the world, and she said it was a secret that Master La Mastian had told her. I didn't know what it meant, but after living on land, I slept in the sea for half a year, so every time I opened my eyes, I could eat delicious fish..."
Fisher suddenly realized what the [Boundary] on the wall meant, no wonder he had been thinking about a question before.
If the whale species don't forage on the bottom of the sea, and only rely on other marine subhumans to feed them fish, then they will be fed once a year, how can this be enough to eat?
Fisher was able to explain it with the conclusion that "it is possible to eat fish once for a year", but now it seems that this may not be the case at all.
Their way of life at the bottom of the sea makes them very dull to the sense of time, and they sleep in the dark for half a year after one sleep, get up and move, go back to sleep, get up and eat again... Well, it's been a year.
And once ashore, under the sun, they adjust their routines to the same as other creatures, eating three meals a day and sleeping once a day.
So, what happens to their lifespan?
Fisher's first thought was that their lifespan was likely to shrink, so it is likely that the whale species that came to live on the shore would not live as long as the whale species on the bottom of the sea...
Is this also the specific price of "what you get, what you need to pay" as said on the stone wall?
Thinking of the key point, Fisher looked at Jasmine with a pair of big eyes in front of him very seriously, and said to her,
"Jasmine, the message recorded on this stone wall may be that the lifespan of your whale species will increase exponentially on the shore. Once a whale species chooses to stay on shore, your sensitivity to time will change, which is why you will lose your longevity on shore..."
"If I extrapolate from this, I don't know how far the lifespan of the whale race will decay, but..."
Fisher said this, looking at Jasmine, but the words came to an abrupt end.
Because of Jasmine at this moment, she didn't show any surprised expression on her face, just quietly looked at Fisher in front of her, and there was a continuous flash of blue water in her big watery eyes, which reflected Fisher's shadow.
At this moment, Fisher suddenly understood something, so he spoke,
"You... Knowing that on shore your own lifespan will be reduced? ”
Jasmine pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly,
"Well, long before I went ashore, my mother told me that I couldn't stay on shore for long... It wasn't until Fisher told me that humans have different lifespans than whale races, and I began to realize this..."
She stretched out her hands, but there was not much sadness on her expression, but she said with some emotion,
"A few months here are like a few years under the sea, and I was jealous of human beings, how could Lord Lamastia be so unfair, allowing humans to have such a long lifespan and feel such slow time every day... Now I know that this is what she meant by the balance of life. ”
Therefore, my aunt actually chose the land in the life of the sea and the land, she has been away from the sea for 80 years, and she has long been unable to return to the bottom of the sea to live. My mother didn't really ask me to bring her back to the bottom of the sea, she was just afraid that my aunt would not have the chance to see her relatives under the sea again, so she asked me to see her for the last time..."
"Is that so..."
Anna's eyes behind her were also slightly touched, as if she was moved by the story of the whale race, she looked at the calm waterhole next to her, looked at the fluorescence that was constantly lighting up around her, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"However, I don't think my aunt will regret it. I've seen a lot of the scenery she's seen on land, she's been to a lot of places in the world, and maybe it's better to see the magnificence of value than to live boringly at the bottom of the sea... I, actually, think the same way. ”
"At the bottom of the sea, I've always been very timid, and my mother can't do anything about my cowardice. I didn't dare to go anywhere, I didn't feel like I could do anything, and I didn't have any friends... However, Fisher is willing to teach me, give me courage, if this is the case, I want to stay by your side all the time, and this is also my choice..."
She looked at Fisher with a very blunt and hot gaze, but it seemed a little clumsy.
But this straightforward, simple mind has always been the most moving, and at this time Fisher's heart was also touched by the burning heat revealed by her gaze at this time, and her heartbeat increased a little.
As soon as she said this, Jasmine suddenly felt that Fisher's eyes were very eager, as if she was about to eat herself, and she realized that she had just said so many shameless words in a serious manner.
Her cute little face instantly turned red, and she shook her hand at Fisher, and her ears fanned quickly, as if they were about to take off with her.
"Ahh Ah, that, I.. I'm not saying either.. How... Only... Woo..."
Well, the last words have become this kind of ambiguous and cute words, as if to relieve the embarrassment, Jasmine blushed and folded her fingers and counted,
"I'm actually more sensitive to life force, after all, I'm the only one in the entire whale race who has such blessings... When I was sleeping, I actually secretly calculated that whale humans can live about 120 years old on the shore, and Fei... That, getting married and having children or something... Also... That one.. Yes..."
Well, it was only now that Fisher suddenly discovered a new characteristic of the whale race, that is, precocious puberty, but it seems that the whale species is actually an adult when they are one year old, after all, eighty years is enough for them to grow up even if they sleep.
Fisher smiled, and met Jasmine's somewhat shy and expectant gaze, and he took the initiative to respond a little, placing his hand on her head,
"I see what you mean. But before we do that, let's go see your aunt first, and then we'll talk about us. ”
“... Well! ”
A strange sour smell of love spread in the small cave, and Anna looked away a little speechlessly, she had just soaked in water, so it was a little cold, so she covered her body at this time to keep warm.
She suddenly saw in the afterglow that Nashiat had woken up for some time, but she was still lying on the ground, her ears pricked up, eavesdropping on the conversation between Fisher and Jasmine behind her.
“...”
Feelings, are you still secretly eating melons here?
