Chapter 1764 Root
His Royal Highness Avery Davidson, the Son of Justice, stared at the dirty cup in front of him. There was no slightest contempt or disgust in his eyes that were always absent-minded. On the contrary, his His expression was even more solemn compared to his usual appearance.
Avery is really grateful to the Luna girl who was brought to the north by the Black Van Priest, not for anything else, just because the latter transformed the rations that she usually used as snacks into [Emperor Blood Pill] is more practical, less delicious, and more cost-effective.
Compared with Avery's original ration, the product converted by Luna is at least ten times more powerful in terms of efficacy. Although the essence tastes bad, it is hidden in a large number of useless flavorings. She extracted it without hesitation, and further purified it on this basis, directly turning what could only allow a person to eat for several days into more than a dozen pills, each of which can last an average of 30 hours without ingestion. [Emperor Blood Pill] of things.
In terms of taste, the two sides are even more incompatible. If the taste of those snacks before being refined by Luna is about the same as the 'flower cake' outside the game, then after being refined by this genius beauty After the girl alchemist processed it, the taste of [Emperor's Blood Pill] was just a layer of paper different from Ji Xiaoge's cooking.
Although this layer of window paper cannot be broken through easily, even so, just being mentioned together with Ji Xiaoge's cuisine is already a very convincing evidence.
To put it simply, these things don’t look like they are for human consumption.
Everyone in the joint forces fighting in Misha County knew this very well. You must know that when Yu Ying, who was Mo Tan's adjutant, was rectifying military discipline, the most common thing he said was, 'If you do XXX again Or XXX, I will send you to the alchemy workshop to help'!
For the vast majority of people, they would rather go to the front line and fight passionately with those disgusting mutants than step into that mobile alchemist building that looks peaceful for years. Square.
No one denies that Luna is a good girl, but equally, everyone agrees that this good girl seems to have some misunderstandings about the endurance and acceptance of normal creatures in all aspects. In fact, what she Although the blended and refined products are impeccable in terms of effect and even far exceed mainstream alchemy products at the same cost, on the other hand, Luna will hardly consider any details that are not related to the effect.
And we have all heard the saying that good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease.
If you put aside the background, allusions and other messy things, then the general meaning of this sentence is 'Although the medicine is bitter, it is beneficial to the treatment of diseases'.
Then if we understand it from another angle, it is that 'medicines that are beneficial to the treatment of diseases are all bitter'.
This is true for Ms. Luna Lynch's alchemy products. Although they are very effective on various levels, the cost is often directly proportional to the effect.
External alchemy tools such as [Death Dust] and [Glow Powder] are okay. No one has any superfluous thoughts except that they are 'convenient and easy to use'. But the problem is that any products made by Lu Na's hand's internal medicines, even the alcohol-like substances used to wipe wounds, have taken the concept of "bitterness" in the mouth of good medicine to the extreme. The most frightening thing is that although the taste of eating it is simply unparalleled, it still tastes terrible. There are really no additional side effects. After all, Luna's purpose is to make everyone's condition better after taking the medicine, not worse.
Because of this, no matter how unwilling the soldiers are, they can't complain about the bad taste of these life-saving things. They can only work harder to protect themselves and try their best to avoid taking medicine. Like a little friend.
By the way, at that time, players in the United Forces even started a craze for "minor sensory protection" because of these things. Many macho men were actually afraid of mutants but were too embarrassed to use protection because of their face. They all used this as an excuse to promote the "sensory protection of minors", and they were grateful to Miss Luna a million times.
In fact, although the things Luna made are extremely 'stimulating' to the senses, everyone in the joint force is very grateful to this person who almost never sees her resting and is always in the workshop. The busy alchemist girl, everyone is full of gratitude and respect for her, and there is even a large proportion of admiration and distress mixed with her.
In addition to the memories of her parents and playmates in her childhood, Luna, who had rarely interacted with others since she was a child, had almost no expression due to her personality, but she was not without any touches, so although her words She didn't mention it, but she still worked a little harder where others couldn't see it... and made the medicine more "good" and "bitter".
In short, Luna Lynch’s alchemical creations and style are without any reference or representativeness.
But...
His Royal Highness Avery Davidson of the Justice Sect did not know about this matter.
In view of the fact that he is indeed a pampered big man in a sense, this man not only did not list him as a 'dangerous person' immediately after he was touched by Luna's shocking creation. 'List, on the contrary, he immediately made a profound self-examination and felt that he was a showy saint who could only do superficial things but actually didn't understand the sufferings of the world at all.
Ever since, a wonderful misunderstanding occurred.
Avery, who was almost reset by those [Emperor Blood Pills] made by Luna, believes that he does not understand the blood and tears of the grassroots and the people at the bottom, and even the life of the Aiwu and Wuji. The people in Skolke who were suffering even more were also thinking about it. They always felt that this group of people not only lived an extremely difficult life, but also lived in dire straits every day.
What further deepened this misunderstanding was that after taking an [Emperor Blood Pill] that Luna said could make everyone temporarily not hungry, the Skolk in front of him not only did not kneel down like Avery, but even After chewing it carefully, he gave it a thumbs up and praised Luna's skills very much, and immediately added an honorific to her address.
This undoubtedly created a feeling for Avery - 'These Skolks are so miserable. Such things can be eaten as delicious food. On the other hand, I, the holy son, on the other hand, our saint Religion Union, this is not knowing how to be blessed despite being blessed. What bad intentions can these people have? They have obviously tried their best to survive! ’← idea.
But we have said it before, this is a misunderstanding...
In fact, the reason why Elgar looked as normal after taking the [Emperor’s Blood Pill] was because he was indeed better than Avery, who has a good living condition, is more receptive, mainly because he has a good face and does not want to embarrass Skolke.
Obviously, just as His Royal Highness the Holy Son had some subtle misunderstanding about Skolke, Elgar also felt that the people of the United Holy Church were much more ruthless than he imagined. Even things that taste so bad that a quilboar might not be able to handle them can be swallowed.
You must know that Luna had eaten one in front of Elgar before to show that it was not poisonous. Considering the girl's expression at that time, the leader who was named "Skolk" immediately There was a misunderstanding, thinking that this thing was probably the standard combat ration in the Holy Alliance Army.
So while he was in awe, he also forcibly suppressed his urge to hold his throat and retching, and forced out an extremely forced smile. Considering that the lizard man's expression was not obvious enough, This reluctance was naturally regarded as "calmness" by Avery.
The result is that both sides are in awe of each other.
A beautiful misunderstanding, but not necessary, because - "In fact, there is a simpler way to prove our sincerity."
Avery smiled at the Skolke in front of him, and then his face became solemn. He clenched his right fist and put it against his heart and said in a deep voice: "I, Avery Benka Ludentula Jane... Davidson once again swore that in the name of our Lord, the God of Justice, there was no falsehood in the promise just made. If he breaks it, he is willing to be punished by God."
Skolk: "Oh."
“……”
Avery choked at that time, and after a while he finally said: "Mr. Skolker, what's your reaction?"
"Uh, I'm sorry, although I know you very well. This kind of seriousness in the oath taken by the Holy Son in the name of God may be due to the past few interactions with your sect... I am deeply impressed, so I can't be serious for a while. I'm really sorry."
Realizing that his reaction seemed a little too bland, Skolk immediately coughed, explained a little embarrassedly, and then changed the subject a little stiffly: "In short, since I have already said that I want to believe you and the black man, Pastor Vatican’s sincerity , then I won’t regret it again. Oh, by the way, His Royal Highness the Son can just call me Elgar from now on. Skolke is actually an honorary title. Although everyone here calls me that, it may be more convenient for you guys. It’s easy to get confused, so just call me by my name.”
"No problem, Mr. Elgar."
Avery nodded happily, then sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "But the 'corporate culture' of our sect can be passed on to It’s really…sigh here.”
Elgar couldn’t say anything, so he could only twitch his lips in embarrassment. In fact, he tried to find a few words to help the Justice Sect, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn’t find a sentence suitable for An Zai Justice. The atmosphere was so awkward due to the good words from the sect.
After a while, His Royal Highness the Holy Son, who was still shameless and had received targeted training, was the first to break the silence. He coughed lightly first, and then said to him very naturally as if the embarrassment just now had never happened. Still searching for a few good words, Elgar said: "By the way, I have always been curious about something, and I would like Mr. Elgar, the current 'Skolk', to help answer it."
"Oh?"
Elgar was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Tell me, I will try my best to satisfy His Highness's curiosity."
"Hi, you are not We in the Holy Religion Union don’t have to call each other His Highness, just call me Avery.”
Avery smiled very freely, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "What I want to ask is, since there are no evil, violent, and murderous people in Skolkeli, why don't you choose to leave? "
Elgar blinked and repeated: "Leave?"
"Yes, leave, leave this terrible place, and return to the civilized world outside."
Avery nodded vigorously and said seriously: "I have many lizardman colleagues who went south a few years ago. During my training, I also met harpy dancers and gray dwarf craftsmen with whom I got along very well. There was a nice restaurant in the City of Light that was run by a very nice quilboar uncle, but I didn’t stay here long. , but it can be seen that none of you are the kind of people who cannot survive in the civilized world. You may not have enough knowledge, but you do not lack conscience and communication skills. In this case, why bother..."
"I understand what you mean, little brother Avery."
When His Royal Highness the Holy Son took the initiative to request not to use honorifics, Elgar was not polite and did not wait for the former to finish speaking. Shaking his head, he interrupted: "But things are not that simple. The people of Skolk are not stupid. We have never left. Naturally, there are reasons why we do not want to leave."
Avery smiled bitterly. , nodded and said: "I also think everyone must have a reason, but they don't quite understand it."
"Then I'll just find a few reasons why I think people are willing to stay and live a precarious life, and don't want to go to the so-called civilized world. They may not be correct, but they have some reference value."
El Jia raised the empty wine glass, poured a little bit of bad wine remaining on the wall into his mouth, licked the corners of his mouth and said in a deep voice: "First of all, most people in Skolk are not clean... You should know what I mean. Leaving aside children and people without fighting ability, Skolk’s main combat force was basically part of the blood barbarians in the past. Many of our hands are stained with the blood of innocent people. , many of them even killed the leader of your Holy Religion Union. Although the people who finally came here were definitely not willing to do those things, it does not mean that we can ignore those past, what do you think?" br>
"This..."
"Second point, Skolke means 'resisters'. We are those who resist oppression and abuse. We don't want to stay out of it, you know. Well, even those who have no fighting ability, most of them would rather cook for everyone and collect food than leave here, because they want to 'resist', and we want to 'resist'! And, once! When Skolk leaves, the other resisters in this land may not even have a thought. Therefore, Skolk must exist in this sinful land, because we believe that everyone should have the choice to resist. Rights, even if this road is a dead end."
"I understand..."
"The last reason, hey, this is our hometown after all."
"..."
"Our roots are here, and we love this land, even if it has long been stained with blood and resentment have turned into the color of despair, but there are still many people who dream of one day being able to breathe freely after the despair dissipates."
