Section 229 Clues (1)
"As long as you smoke this thing for a few years, your physique will decline, your endurance will decrease, and then your spirit will become difficult to concentrate, and you may also have various problems, such as frequent hallucinations, confusion between reality and illusion, serious and even schizophrenia, some have weak personalities but become tyrannical, and some have normal personalities but become as pitiful as slugs. "Eventually, there will be a permanent decline in irreversible physical fitness." ”
"How serious is it?" Rand gasped, before he came to the Emerald Continent for a trip, because of the harm of ambergris cream exposed by the Fury, although he had heard some, but they were all more general and said that it was toxic and harmful to living things, and some evidence was also presented, but it was not as clear as Silva Centaur said.
Of course, this is not because the Fury Party cannot fully explain it, but because the purpose of the Fury Party is only to take the opportunity to make trouble, want to fight for political power, use the ambergris incident as an opportunity to establish its image as a political party, and at the same time force political opponents to make concessions, so it seems to be a big fanfare, but the course of the incident is purposeful, organized, and controlled, and it will gradually ferment, and only after it does not get enough benefits will more direct evidence be thrown. Moreover, although the common purpose within Fury's party is this, the support behind it is not entirely consistent with the direction of the faction.
However, because a certain big man was involved, and that big man decisively gave up some interests and joined forces with the Demoxisus to control the situation, so the harm of ambergris ointment in Asturias is still relatively vague, even if it is gradually revealed.
"The worst thing is addiction and the impact on descendants. Once addicted, it is difficult to quit if the offspring born after the addiction. Their physical fitness will also be greatly reduced. Modi sighed.
Rand looked at the wounded elf Versail in horror. No wonder I feel that the strength of this elf in front of me is not as strong as the legendary high elf at all.
In the genealogy of ancient creatures made by the High Elves. The High Elves originally rated their biological rank as the fifth order.
Because the genealogy of the creatures is made by the High Elves, this is inevitably a bit of a boast.
In real comparison, the previous High Elves were generally slightly superior or equivalent to some lower-level creatures in terms of individual qualities, but they were much better than them overall. Taking strength as an example, the High Elves are better than Wolf in pure strength, but compared to Bill, Kau and other clans who are known for their strength. It doesn't necessarily have a clear advantage, but the High Elves' combat skills are certainly far superior to those of the famous tribes among these orcs, and they are also versatile, archery skills, magic, and skills that almost every adult elf has mastered, and their long life span of three or four hundred years also gives them plenty of time to develop in an all-round way.
Therefore, the lower-level creatures are not necessarily inferior to the High Elves in a certain quality, but if you take a random sample and fight alone, it is far behind.
After these decades, the human race has developed because of the abundance of resources. And these developments are not just about being satisfied with a few people as in the past, but more people have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits. For example, the development of education has made it possible to produce many more mages than before, and the birth of Arcane Skynet has theoretically made it possible for anyone to become a mage.
Therefore, if the biological genealogy is reformulated, still using the original rank as a reference, the current human race in the biological genealogy is definitely not the previous zero-level ordinary, the basic physical fitness has been significantly improved, and ordinary adult men basically have the physical conditions required to become soldiers before, which is the benefit of abundant resources, the environment for raising descendants has been improved, and the nutrition that can be provided for them has also increased.
Of course, this is talking about the overall level, and if it comes down to the specifics, the conditions that can be achieved by each country, region, and even different classes are different. For example, people like Rand were born in a better environment, and the physical quality that nutrition can nourish is definitely better than that of ordinary people, while those workers who work hard all day long are certainly far inferior to him, but benefiting from the improvement of the overall level, the material supply they can get is more abundant than before, and they are still improved to a certain extent, but it is seriously inconsistent with the degree of their efforts and hard work.
Moreover, this is the situation on the Azure Continent, and other planes are not so lucky, even if they are also Terrans. Because countries like Asturias and Titania can achieve an overall improvement in the quality of their citizens, the abundant material supply in their preconditions can almost be said to be absolutely inseparable from their current system of conquest and colonization of alien planes.
This is only the basic quality of the body, and there are still some conditions that are difficult to quantify and compare with the human race, such as the transmission of knowledge just mentioned, or with the help of tools. These are all possessed by intelligent biological groups, but it can be said that they have never been so complete and full of vitality and universality as the current Azure Continent human race.
Just like the fat man Huo Qiu, he was not talented enough to pass the exams of a more advanced arcanist, and even lost the qualification to use Skynet after failing to cheat, but he was still able to improve his abilities by purchasing constructs, making himself a mid-level warrior.
This is simple to say, but in fact it reflects the advantages and disadvantages of different groups of intelligent organisms in their social forms and operating systems.
In the past, it was difficult for people like Fat Man to buy constructs at will to improve themselves, because the manufacture of constructs could only be made by a few people, and they would generally be used under the supervision of the kingdom.
But now it's just a commodity, and although it's still special, and it's still only handmade, it's no longer tightly controlled, and most of it is freely traded.
The obstacles that limit people's access are no longer the limits of their production and the limitations imposed by those who are superior to them for the sake of dominance, but more money.
Therefore, these things that are not easy to quantify also represent the ascension of the Terrans, and if these foreign objects are counted, the strength of the Terrans in the biological genealogy is very unfavorable.
On the other hand, the High Elves and Centaurs who smoked the balantry ointment were declining, and after these decades, the new generation among them was born far less physically than their ancestors, and had a significant impact on their social formation.
"Are you here to humiliate me? The curled elf leaned against the wall and tried to stand up.
"It's so arrogant to steal my stuff. Hola Deguna said angrily.
"Phew, I like to steal from you Terrans, especially tourists from another continent. It is you who have ruined the tranquility of our lives for generations, it is you who have brought war to us, and you have brought even the ambergris ointment. And now you are looking at us like monkeys to see what has become of us. Van Saiti cursed.
Rand looked at his temporary history teacher Modi, about the war in the Emerald Continent, of course, it was also mentioned in the history textbooks of Asturias, but Rand already knew that it was not completely credible, not only Jackson's statement on the ship, but now I saw that the curses of Van Sayti and Modi's explanation were all different from it, as if the battle for justice and freedom in the unified voice of the Azure Continent was not so magnificent.
"Mr. Rand, if you want to hear the truth. Perhaps we, the Silva Centaurs, will curse the Champris and the two wars associated with it. That did change the fate of the creatures on this continent dramatically, and the two wars caused the original rule of the High Elves to almost collapse, or have collapsed. Most of the elven allies have broken with them, the dragons are hidden in the snowy mountains or volcanoes or the most primitive forests, the druids despise the High Elves and turn their backs on the ancient order, even the elves themselves are torn apart, the ancient royal court has lost its control and majesty over all the elves, and only the High Elves in the valley of the Awakening River still obey the orders of the royal court and defend the last glory with some of the treants. In other places, after the initial defeat, the quarrels between the royal court, the temple, and the elven kings affected the attitude of the elven resistance forces in various places. ”
"Outside the royal court, they split into many resistance armies that went their own way, with their own commanders, some ordinary elves who grew up in war, and some descendants of the Great Elven King or the inheritance of other elven nobles, some of them united, some of them looked down on each other. There are a handful of kingdoms that are still hostile to the Azure Continent, believing that all calamities are the source of all disasters and that only by driving you out of this continent can we change everything, and there are those who realize that the former idea is simply not possible, and only concentrate on competing with the Centaurs for profit. Chaos, Mr. Rand, maybe that's what you want. Moddy said.
"So, Mr. Moody, what about your attitude?" Hocho suddenly interjected.
"I, I only recognize money, and that's what you taught us Silva centaurs. Our presence may be a kind of original sin in itself, the mother wants to kill us, the father generally keeps us in captivity, and we have to cling to the order you have built to feel safe, so Silva has mixed feelings for you, we do not object to the statement that you brought the calamity, but now we can only live under your order, and do not want to return to the order of the elven rule, because then we will all have to be crushed and scattered, and most of the elves wish we had never appeared, nor do they want the Centaurs to have the final say, they do not regard us as true descendants。 And to live under your order, I find that money is the most important thing. Personally, I'd like to make enough money and then figure out how to see if I can move to Asturias to live, if not, then a place to go to other planes as a pioneer is my second choice. ”
"Thank you very much for telling me this sincerely, for the truth you are telling is different from what I told in history textbooks before I set foot on this land, but I can't fully believe it, and now it seems that I believe it a little more. Rand said.
"Let's not argue about who caused all this. Let's go back to the practical question, if ambergris ointment is so harmful, why don't you quit it?" Rand sternly turned to the elf Versaily, who was looking at everyone with hateful eyes. (To be continued.) )
