We will talk about Elvi's story later.
The most important thing now is how to solve the problem of Elvi wanting to take the rook away.
Sully thought of the question again.
He just added: "You want to take the raven away, where do you want to take him?"
"It's more like trying to pull him away than taking him away." Elvy seemed to really treat Sully as an ordinary child, who might be a little smart, but definitely not so smart as to be scary.
"Monsters that grow naturally to a certain extent are different from me. In our world, beings like Raven are important to maintaining monster civilization."
"You know, humans who have awakened their monster bloodline can be completely transformed into monsters after their own blood is replaced." Elvi repeated the existing information and emphasized, "But this transformation has its limits."
"If your good friend," Elvi didn't even know Cyril's name, "wanted to transform into a dragon, then this transformation would end with his generation."
There is a world of difference between natural monsters and monsters transformed by humans when it comes to breeding offspring.
If Elvi and humans mate and give birth to offspring again, then the time required during the gestation period will only be the ten-month pregnancy required by human rules.
This information was the source of Elvi's lucky judgment many years ago that he was still a human being.
But unfortunately——
This is just the most convenient way of reproduction that the monsters have found after many experiments.
No one knows what is in human genes.
But for the development of monsters, this kind of weakling naturally provides the most convenient way to breed offspring.
Suli did not ask, since humans have awakened their monster bloodline, they can choose to separate their human bloodline and transform into monsters, then why monsters do not choose this method to transform into a new generation of monsters in large quantities.
The answer to this question is found at the very beginning of the concept of doubt.
Because I can't.
Suli still couldn't judge how important natural monsters were to the existence of monster civilization. But since the concept of nature existed, it proved that humans who were not awakened naturally and had monster blood were not qualified to transform into monsters.
This can also be judged from another perspective.
It is known that humans have already combined with countless monsters, and all humans today have monster blood. This means that if you trace the source, the same human body must have genes from multiple monsters.
In the case of unnatural atavism, the gene chain that has been compiled into a stable gene will completely collapse under artificial manipulation.
Suli thought a lot, but in the end he just said: "La La... send a strong man like you to La La?"
"When the value of certain beings reaches a certain level, providing corresponding things to match them is a sign of respect, no matter in human society or in monster society, right?" Elvi said.
Suli's expression was a bit confusing: "You didn't behave like this before."
"An elephant among the ants can communicate with elephants in the elephant herd on an equal footing, but the elephants in the elephant herd do not feel the need to communicate with ants." Elvi calmly explained the cruel facts.
Elvi even said bluntly: "If you hadn't pointed out something that I would never understand on my own, then you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me."
"Should I say I'm honored?" Sully had been communicating with Elvie in a way that made her feel comfortable.
When this habit was formed imperceptibly, all of Sully's behaviors of exploring new information without leaving any trace were just the curiosity of a teenager in Elvi's view.
Suli knocked his knuckles on the table. "Ignore what I just said. I want to know what you would do if I chose to stop it, or if the Raven was willing to not leave human society and not enter the monster society system. And even if you don't do anything, what will we have to face in the future?"
Elvi was stunned when he heard these words.
She might not understand why a human child would ask her such crucial information in an instant, but Elvi didn't seem to think it was something worth hiding.
Elvi said: "In the monster society, there are three major organizations, the Feathered Tribe, the Water Tribe, and the Beast Tribe. The first two tribes are literally the Feathered Tribe that has the ability to fly, and the Water Tribe that lives in the water."
"And the beast tribe refers to the beasts."
As he spoke, Elvi's expression turned unhappy, as if he had a bad impression of the so-called beastmen.
After explaining this basic information, Elvy said, "If you choose to stop me from taking him away, the only thing I will do is kill you."
Everyone in the small building stared at Elvi in an instant, and Egbert's eyes were full of bloodshot. However, none of this attracted Elvi's attention at all. No matter how sharp the eyes were, they were just irrelevant to the powerful dragon.
Even the air can't compare to it.
But she still explained: "If you choose to stop Du Ya from leaving with me, then killing you is a very reasonable method. If you don't want him to leave, it means that if I kill you, he can leave."
Elvi didn't say it explicitly, but Sully understood it anyway. It was telling him not to use human thinking to try to hook up with the monster's brain circuits.
This could very well lead him into a big trap.
Sully acknowledged the feeling, but still waited quietly for Elvy to finish his next words.
"If the crow is not willing to leave here, then what I need to do is to make him want to leave. Threaten him with you, threaten him with humans, or threaten him with his own kind. There will always be a way."
"Once he enters the monster society, his thoughts won't matter at all." Elvi said these cruel words calmly.
"Of course, from my point of view, I still think it is necessary to have a good relationship with the crows." Elvy said something that seemed normal to her but inexplicably sarcastic to others.
"As for your last question, if I don't take the initiative to do something, what will happen to you next..."
Elvy pushed the chair back a long way with great force. With a harsh friction sound in the air, she lifted her legs and put them on the table. She said arrogantly, "Maybe they are fighting with another group of people who want to compete for the crow."
Sully suddenly stiffened.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that it's not just the Feathered Tribe that want natural monsters." Elvi looked at Suli with a half-smile, "And I just realized that you..."
"They are real humans without any monster blood mixed in."
What is purity?
Simply put, once Suli's genes are passed on to the first generation of monsters, all of his first generation can be forcibly transformed into new monsters.
This is an incredible strategic resource.
After Elvy expressed her evaluation, the eyes of those who were originally staring at her finally turned to Sully.
Lord Sully... is he really that dangerous? Egbert couldn't help but think.
Suli raised his left hand and unconsciously placed the nail of his index finger beside him, wanting to chew it.
He didn't have the habit of eating nails, but he couldn't help thinking about the other monsters that Elvy mentioned, and they would also come to snatch the crow.
Elvy's meaning was clear.
It would be best for Du Ya to go with her as soon as possible, so that he can snatch his people away. Even if he really fights with Elvi, the battle area will be a monster world.
And if they were a step slower in following Elvi's lead, the other powerful monsters vying for the crow would have to start a war in human society.
What kind of damage can Elvi cause?
For others, it may be so horrific that it can be equated with the word natural disaster.
But for game planners who have set boss skills——
Full rule wind control is equivalent to everyone's movement being instantly restricted by Elvy during exercise.
At that time, humans who are instantly controlled on a large scale will die with just one thought from Elvi.
It's hard to say whether Elvi can control the movements of monsters of similar strength, but monsters of similar strength may be able to control the rules of elements like her.
This is no longer a question of whether or not humans have the power to resist.
This is a problem that will destroy humanity if we don't pay attention.
The most outrageous thing is that there are conflicts among the monsters.
They fight to the death, no matter how they fight. The only question is, will human society really not be involved at all?
"Can I ask you, how long can you live without being killed?" Suli put down his nails and kept his left hand smooth and round, but he didn't really bite it.
Elvi looked at him strangely: "I thought you were more concerned about getting the rook to leave with me."
Sully showed a forced smile.
Elvi crossed his arms over his chest and said nonchalantly, "Although it is not a natural monster, with my strength, if it is not killed, it should be able to live for thousands of years."
Suli asked about Elvi's life span because he was wondering about the approximate level of demand that monsters have for humans who are able to transform into monsters.
Thousands of years means that substitutability is extremely low.
The replacement rate is extremely low, which in turn means that if there really are contemporary monsters that are so violent that they don't care about the later inheritance of monsters, then if human society really perishes one day, it will probably be as natural as the sun rising from the east...
Sully held his breath.
Elvi pretended not to notice and asked him, "So, have you decided whether you want to go with me or not, Raven?"
"Can you take me with you?" Sully said.
No one expected him to say this.
The others who had never interrupted his conversation with the Dragon Lady were also stunned.
Egbert: "Lord Sully..."
Before his words were fully spoken, Sully chose to continue with his topic.
"I hate having to choose," Sully said.
"From the perspective of the currently weak human race, the only thing we can do to avoid completely destroying the future of human civilization is to directly intervene in the monster society."
"Huh?" Elvi made an unclear sound. "Do you know what you are saying?"
"You are like an ant trying to intervene in an elephant's war."
Suli shook his head: "No, this is just the best option to avoid risks in my opinion."
"Draven doesn't want to leave, and I don't want him to leave either. But he has to leave, because if he doesn't leave, the opposing forces will start fighting in this city."
"His departure was equivalent to his compromise for the city and even for humanity."
"I don't think a demon beast needs to compromise for humans, so Du Ya can choose not to leave and then engage in tit-for-tat with you here. As long as time drags on long enough, from Du Ya's perspective, if he himself is unwilling to leave, then dragging in other demon beast forces that are opposed to you and letting you two fight in human society is theoretically the best option for him."
Elvy's mouth dropped open.
She angrily kicked away the table she was using to rest her legs on, and said with a distorted face, "Why would a human like you consider things from the perspective of a monster?!"
"Because if I were him, and I didn't want to leave home but was forced to leave, I would definitely make it difficult for the person who chose to force me. And in your opinion, the way monsters think is different from humans."
Suli looks at the world from a God's perspective, as if he were standing outside of it.
"It is extremely cruel for humans to drag all humans into the water, but for the monsters who never want to leave their home, this is just an inevitable choice after being forced."
"It's hard for the crows, isn't it?"
Elvi looked at the boy with a strange expression, his whole face seemed to be filled with holy light.
"So why on earth did you completely abandon your human way of thinking and consider the problem from the perspective of a monster?!"
Sully smiled and told Elvi, "Because only in this way can I understand that the reality that you would fight with others here if the crows didn't follow you is just your one-sided statement."
This is not true.
Elvie suddenly calmed down. She crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Sully coldly and said, "I'll ask you one last time. Tell me why you think this way."
Sully no longer seemed anxious or nervous, and he even ordered a glass of ice milk from Roy.
Under the extremely puzzled gaze of the two-star mercenary, Sully drank milk that was so cold that it made his stomach twitch in this season when spring was just around the corner and there was still a cold snap.
Then, take full control of the dialogue between humans and monsters into your own hands.
"You, or the power organization you belong to, are inclined towards human existence."
"Perhaps when emotions flare up and the war is forced to involve human areas, chaotic actions will also be committed here, but that is just a choice that is forced to be made."
Sully told Elvi, "The idea that you are fighting other monsters of similar strength in human society is the worst possible scenario. It is not something that can happen easily. You are misleading me."
Sully looked at Elvy steadily.
When the latter couldn't help squinting his eyes, Sully continued: "You want to take the raven away from here without any effort."
"Perhaps I shouldn't use the phrase 'one soldier, one pawn', because you were the only one who wanted to take the crow away."
"I don't know the social rules and power divisions of the monster civilization system, and it's impossible for me to understand. All my information comes from you, and you don't need to blur all the information or tell me false information. You only need to slightly blur some things that are beneficial to you, which is enough to mislead me who has no source of information."
After Sully changed his mindset to that of a monster and considered things from the perspective of the raven, he got an answer that was true enough and absolutely certain.
"You can't fight with other monsters in human society. I'm not sure if this message is within the 'rules' of you not being able to control your emotions when they leak out, but through your care for natural monsters, that is, for the raven, I have also confirmed another message."
"The purpose of monsters keeping humans captive is to provide new monsters through humans, because monsters' reproduction cannot keep up with the monster society in the war period. And for monsters who can survive for thousands of years, your war has lasted for at least tens of thousands of years."
"Question: 'Why do monsters need humans to transform into monsters?'" Suli's voice was very soft, as soft as a teenager walking on the youthful and beautiful campus streets, telling his friends about the taste of cotton candy in the amusement park.
No matter how difficult it is to have a child, it does not mean that it is completely impossible.
Take the Crystal Pterosaur for example.
Even if it takes 200 years for the next generation to be born, is this really an unimaginably long time for a monster that can live for thousands of years?
I'm afraid not.
Regarding the above question, Suli gave Elvi a direct answer.
Sully's green eyes forced open under the satin, white blurring his vision.
She opened her eyes only because she knew that even through a layer of cloth, Elvi would be able to "see" her opening her eyes.
Don't underestimate all body language cues.
"Because, in the monster society, natural monsters no longer exist, or in other words, there are only a few left."
Suli heaved a sigh of relief that humans would not be easily wiped out, but he was also certain that humans were nothing more than a group of captive resources to the monsters.
Even the law of the jungle of the human rule system is not restricted. This is probably to allow the bloodline of the strong humans to reproduce until some guys who have awakened the bloodline of the monsters have higher qualifications for transformation.
Completely eliminating a part of humanity is equivalent to completely eliminating part of the genes. The existence of the disassembled genes will inevitably have an unimaginable mortality rate.
But as long as he succeeds, the future of the transformed monster will be Elvi's present.
——How powerful!
but……
Elvy suddenly laughed.
When he was not sitting in the carriage, he had a blank expression on his face and laughed as if he was talking.
But it was a real laugh, the kind that makes you almost cry.
"That's hilarious," she said.
"I thought you had already etched in your mind the premise that you and I are still the same kind."
The fact that the young dragon girl was deceived by humans is a perfect weapon of suggestion.
Anyone would disagree with the owner of this matter.
Elvy also has no pressure to exploit his past.
Indeed, as Sully said, it is impossible for monsters to engage in large-scale battles in human society.
Because no one knows whether human civilization can survive the war between monsters.
Human civilization is nothing to monsters. But if humans die to a certain extent, it will be difficult for them to reproduce on a large scale. How can they provide qualified subjects to be transformed into monsters?
The mortality rate caused by the transformation of monsters can only be reduced by relying on human talents, that is, the elemental affinity is reduced.
Even with 100% element affinity, there is only a 1/2 chance of survival.
Elvi has been secretly setting a trap for Sully.
She really didn't realize at first that the boy was digging a hole for himself without leaving any trace.
But Suli happened to bring out the truth about her opinion of Naan.
At that time, she revealed very little information.
But this young man discovered that he really regarded Naan as a friend.
And, after she took the initiative to reveal the "rules", Sully took control of all the conversations.
This is abnormal.
This was the only abnormality in the normality shown by this young man, but after this only thing was confirmed to be abnormal, Elvi understood that all the normality of Sully was abnormal.
She can use this to her advantage as well.
Especially when Sully says "Can you take me with you?"
Elvi thought he had won the war without gunpowder.
But the result was that she lost miserably.
"So why would you, a human being, consider things from the perspective of a monster?" Elvy wasn't angry, she was just curious.
"It's too one-sided to look at the problem only from the human perspective." Sully also laughed. He sat upright in the chair opposite Elvi. His slender and frail appearance made him look like a flower-viewing aristocrat indulging in the fragrance of the garden.
Even though Sully knew that the current peaceful atmosphere was deliberately created and that he might have his neck broken by the lady dragon in front of him in the next second, he could still maintain this state and continue the conversation.
"I also have to thank you for reminding me that human common sense is not the same as monster common sense."
"I don't know what your past is like, but since you have been betrayed by humans, I can't believe that you still consider yourself human."
In the history related to Elvi, not only was the entire noble family wiped out, but the city where the noble family lived was also destroyed.
"So, I just need to try to think about the problem from the perspective of a monster, and I will find out how much wrong information you have revealed to me."
"After all, it is not logical for a giant dragon to explain in detail the worldview of another world to a weak creature that can kill humans with just one breath."
"Unless you are the legendary saint."
"Grr..." Elvi made a vomiting motion, "Don't be so disgusted with me, really."
If she was a saint, how could she kill the entire family of the nobles and then attack the human city?
From Suli's perspective.
He confirmed the new information.
When everyone around him looked confused, Suli was able to confirm that the wisdom development in the monster civilization far surpassed the human social system.
The people here are not very adaptable to intrigue and subterfuge.
Those who have some uneasy feelings are upper-class people who have control over a lot of resources.
Elvi is a human-turned-monster being. If the civilization of the monster society is close to that of the human society, then in the 200 years that she has lived, it is impossible for her to grow from a dragon girl deceived by the nobles to a wise person who can reversely utilize Sully's way of thinking and is close to a monster.
There is a saying that goes, time does not make fools grow brains.
Only by learning can you learn.
Monster civilization must have a sufficient cultural inheritance system.
But that doesn't matter right now.
What’s important is…
"Do you think I am qualified to enter that world now?"
"I don't think you need any so-called qualifications to go to certain places. If you want to go there, it depends on whether you can afford the price you might have to pay." Elvi said something completely opposite to what he said in the previous conversation.
It's getting old.
This dragon...
Always digging holes.
Sully couldn't help thinking that if Ophelia was regarded as a unit of intelligence, then Elvy would be about three Ophelias.
"ah--"
“I am here.”
In the midst of silence and thought, Elvi suddenly said this.
Sully fixed his eyes on her blankly.
However, Elvie had no intention of telling Sully what she meant by "coming".
She wanted to see how far Suli could go.
Also, she thought that she might really be a bad dragon, otherwise how could she want to see a human boy's face change.
But he went too far.
It was so extreme that Elvi felt that all his 200 years of learning and experience on the battlefield were not worth mentioning.
All the means were eventually resolved in ways that Elvi could not have imagined.
She emphasized the difference in cognition between humans and monsters, not to make Sully think from the monster's perspective.
This is to indirectly tell Suli that they are a brutal race that is cruel enough and absolutely impossible for humans to understand.
result……
Sully said something very cruel even for a dragon.
Elvi could never imagine that a human boy who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old would think from the perspective of a monster, and how to use human lives, social systems and other things to hold back other monsters and fish in troubled waters.
When everyone thought that emotions would hinder Sully's rational thinking, he directly brought out the worst possibility.
Moreover, in the process of saying that possibility, Elvy did not show any pain in his expression.
Are you crazy?
After these three words appeared in Elvi's mind, he suddenly felt that she was not crazy for having such a problem.
Oh.
Suli remained in a daze, but asked, "So fast?"
Elvi: ………………
………………………………
"Damn you."
Even though he said he wanted to kill Sully, Elvy's eyes and body language showed uncontrollably excitement.
She knew that Sully knew her interjection, and the two words "came" meant that those guys who wanted to compete with her for crow diving had also come.
Suli sat in his seat for a long time.
The way he was daydreaming made people around him afraid to interrupt him, for fear that he would get excited and give them a fright.
Until Egbert asked cautiously: "Lord Sully...? Are you okay?"
Suli came to his senses and said, "I'm fine."
Not only did the boy smile, he also tore off the ribbon on his head.
Elvy had gone out.
So Suli doesn't have to worry about seeing things he shouldn't see.
Suli only told the others: "The suburban areas where you used to fight may become ruins in the future."
"Also, everyone should get a good rest tonight."
After a moment of earth-shaking movement, Suli said with a wry smile, "Try your best."
Try your best.
The veins on Yufia's forehead were throbbing. "No matter how you put it, it's impossible to do it!"
"How can I rest in peace knowing that a group of people of catastrophic magnitude suddenly appeared in the city I was protecting with all my heart, and there were more than one of them, and they even started fighting each other?!"
Lan Zhe's mouth twitched: "But even if we don't rest, it won't have any impact on reality, right?"
"Then tell me, can you sleep?" Euphia mocked him.
The veins on Lan Zhe's forehead kept throbbing, but he didn't reply.
"Don't fight. If you start fighting now, there will be no place for you to move." Mark tried to smooth things over, but the words he implied were miserable.
Who would compete with a group of people walking on a natural disaster for a battle zone?
What a ghost!
When everyone else was emotionally devastated, Du Ya asked Su Li: "When you said that I could take you with me, were you serious?"
"Maybe...right..." Sully looked at the black crow with its head tilted.
Perhaps because what happened today was too explosive, Suli felt a sense of exhaustion that he could not resist with his spirit. He rubbed the black crow's head and said, "What I can be sure of now is that the extinction of humans is the worst outcome for the monsters."
"But relative worst is not the same as absolute worst."
At this time, incorrect sentence becomes the best way to describe it.
"We still don't know whether monsters like Elvi, who were transformed from humans, can reproduce with other monsters that were transformed from humans."
"I guess maybe not, or maybe there is no difference in the difficulty of reproduction between the difficult ones and the real monsters."
"But no matter which one it is, if monsters really exist when humans are completely extinct, I don't think they will still maintain the struggle between different forces."
"The existence of humans now is more like a reserve force resource for monsters. But if the reserve force does not exist, or disappears completely, then the first thing the monsters need to think about is how to continue to reproduce."
"Given that their wisdom is generally no less than that of Ophelia, I don't think their thousands of years of life would be a useless time."
Sully pressed his fingertips heavily on one side of his temple. He spoke slowly, but he was trying his best to tell others what he had guessed.
"In other words..."
Egbert took up Sully's topic.
The boy was so exhausted from relaxing that he felt drowsy.
As for the subsequent information exchange, since he had already laid the groundwork, others were able to fill in the gaps.
"In other words, there are some in the monster society who want to destroy humans as a path to peace for the monsters."
"No intelligent life would be willing to live in a war with no end in sight." Egbert said after letting out a breath.
"As for why those beings did not show up, it can only be said that the fight between the monsters has not yet reached that level of severity." Lan Zhe also added.
They were talking about information that Sully already knew, so at this moment, the Dark Son instructed Mark to send Sully back to his own room.
After discussing the issue, Lan Zhe had to take some time to check Suli's body.
Euphia looked at Sully being carried away by Mark, sighed softly and said, "Sometimes I don't understand why Sully has to do so much."
"What he wants is obviously very simple, and that kind of simplicity should be easy to achieve."
Cyril said: "Instead of thinking about this problem, it is better to be thankful that he regards everything that can make us better as part of his purpose."
"Although it is a very unfair thing for Suli."
After these words were spoken, the air became as silent as dead water.
After a long while, Roy finally let out a breath and said with a bit of sadness: "What we should think about, in addition to things related to monster civilization and monster society, the most important thing is that the young master wants to step into that world."
They can't stop it, and that's the most important issue to discuss.
Sully has never changed.
The world is constantly changing.
"Of course we can choose to pretend that we don't know, we don't understand, and we don't know. But..." Roy sat on the sofa, leaning forward, his hands crossed in front of him, his eyes fixed on the ground, "I don't think I, or you, can just watch him follow the crows into that world. Then, he did what he thought was to achieve his own goals, but in fact, he was doing it for everyone else."
He wants too little and does too much.
Moreover, he was self-centered and regarded everything as something he did only to achieve his own goals.
Everyone thought that it was just Sully's pale way of comforting himself.
Because it is impossible for people to keep moving forward for the whole world.
That goal is too ambitious and too huge.
Anyone who bears the pressure of the whole world will be crushed the moment he bears that pressure.
Suli needed a simple goal.
A goal so simple that it allowed him to keep going on this road that seemed to have no end.
After listening to the conversation, Du Ya and Lan Zhe finally walked into Suli's room. During the process of the Dark Son examining Suli's body, the boy did not wake up.
The crow also nestled on the side of the boy's pillow, staring at his face, which had clear features, perhaps because he had grown up or simply lost weight.
I want to say something...
But in the end, nothing was said.
Afterwards, Lan Zhe was the first to tell Du Ya about Su Li's diagnosis.
"I've lost a lot of weight and am severely malnourished. I've grown a lot taller in one month of training, but this growth seems to be overdrawing something."
Sully's current height is 175cm.
"Then, there were some inexplicable scars on my body."
It could be an insect bite, or it could be scratched by thorny plants in the forest.
But whatever it was, this was something Suli shouldn't have had to endure.
Lan Zhe did not leave Suli's room immediately after the test results came out.
Instead, he changed the subject.
"Do you think it is possible for humans to gain power that surpasses that of monsters?" Lan Zhe asked Du Ya.
It was no use asking this question to the Dark Pope who was stronger than him.
Because the Elvi that appeared today possessed the power to completely crush humans.
"I don't know." Crow rubbed Sully's cheek with his head. The boy's breathing was too light.
This may be the result of training in the Monster Forest and the need to prevent monsters from suddenly appearing.
But even Du Ya couldn't help but think that Suli shouldn't have to go through this at all.
The crow was just as ignorant as he was saying.
I don’t know how to make the group of guardians around Suli truly have the power to protect.
I don’t know how to get Suli to stop getting into danger.
Du Ya didn't think as much as humans. He just simply hoped that this boy could always walk home from the academy with Cyril in the sunset; lie in the yard of the small building and bask in the sun during rest time; sit by the window on days when it rained heavily and write down various words that he couldn't understand.
Those thoughts and wisdom of his were different from the powerful attraction brought by his appearance. At this moment, Raven would rather they did not exist.
It's too hard.
"You're right." Lan Zhe thought about it and agreed, "Monsters can't possibly know how humans can become stronger than monsters."
Lan Zhe walked out of the room carrying the medicine box.
The call in the room
