Chapter 817 48. Re-employment of weirdos
As Skeleton King collects weirdos everywhere and brings them back to the laboratory for research, Annan's understanding of weirdness gradually deepens.
The weirdness is not as "harmless" as it appears. To describe it, they are like undead creatures, carrying with them a halo of withering.
It was not obvious that the Burnt Girl and the others were following Annan around. But as Annan stayed in Liberty City and they did not set out with the Fourth Army, the "Withering Halo" began to take shape.
Weird House - the place where Annan placed them.
According to nearby neighbors, the greenery on the street and their potted plants have stopped growing and withered to varying degrees. The closer to the rear weird house, the more serious the withering.
And the weird withering aura is far more difficult to deal with than the necromancy magic. The removal efficiency of Da De's natural magic is half the result with half the effort.
So Annan had to move them to a new home, a single-family house next to an industrial area in the suburbs.
In addition, Skeleton King also analyzed what "human nature" is - it is more like "vitality" stripped of natural elements, a concept deeper than the soul.
According to Skeleton King's experiments, weirdos can plunder this substance called "human nature" from all living creatures. Animals are the least, followed by goblins and kobolds who are less intelligent, followed by Humans, elves, and dragons are the most immortal species, which makes Skeleton King start to go astray. He believes that human nature represents lifespan, and regards weirdness as an ecological niche similar to vampires in other worlds.
The Skeleton King learned the truth. A mistake caused the two experimental subjects to fight, and the vampire was strangely swallowed. The Skeleton King was surprised to find that vampires have less humanity than humans... This almost rules out that humanity equals vitality.
"So what is human nature?" Annan asked Skeleton King at that time.
"Human nature is human nature. Just like soul and magic, they both represent an independent origin, and this happens to be the most important thing about you."
"Me?" Annan didn't know Why is it related to myself again?
“Why are warlocks born with the charm of making people approachable?”
"You are saying that all warlocks have a high degree of humanity."
"This is true based on the current experimental results." "I need to catch a weirdo that can separate humanity."
< br>"It depends on luck, right?"
For example, those weirdos who took refuge in Annan, each with different abilities.
“Yes, so I plan to capture a warlock to participate in the experiment.”
Annan didn't know what Broken Tooth was thinking when he saw them hunting ratmen and cutting off their ears, but now he did feel a little sad about the death of rabbits and foxes...
"Since you said that weird things plunder human nature with a withering aura, so do warlocks. Highly human...but the plants around me won't wither?"
"That's the problem." The Skeleton King doesn't have flesh and blood wrapped in skin, otherwise it must be suitable for wearing a pair of glasses. "This is my basis. The model constructed by the current progress:
“Life is not the soul as the carrier and the vitality as the body as we knew before, but has three origins: soul, vitality, and human nature. ”
“They are independent of each other, but they are related to each other. If we are a ship sailing in a sea of fog, the soul is the ship itself, the vitality is the helmsman, and humanity, I regard it as the light that dispels the fog and illuminates the surroundings. ”
"The vampire that sucks the life force is equivalent to making the ship lose its helmsman, and the weirdness that eats away humanity is like breaking the lamp. Without the helmsman, the ship will sail aimlessly on the sea. If the ship is destroyed, it will start to sink. If the lamp is broken, then it will sink again. A good helmsman will also get lost in the sea of mist..."
"As for your last question...why does weirdness make plants wither?" The Skeleton King's soul fire jumped, "I think the weird lamp has already. Broken, the fuel called humanity continues to flow out. In order to prevent themselves from losing their way in the foggy sea, they can only hunt other voyagers and steal their fuel."
"Doing so delays. It saves the time for the lights to go out, but it also allows the burning embers to be vented..." The Skeleton King tried his best to describe the three sources of soul, vitality, and humanity using descriptions that Annan could understand.
“Have we never noticed it before?”
"Because human nature is like air. Before we realize it, it 'doesn't exist'."
If it weren't for the chance encounter with weird creatures that eat away human nature, the continent of Allen would still be in the dark. Drum.
Annan suddenly thought of a possibility: as a warlock, he obviously had no talent in magic, so he relied entirely on the gods above to reward him with bread. So now that I have discovered a new origin, can I get anything from it?
Annan asked. "What will happen if human nature gets higher and higher?"
"It will get higher and higher."
"Uh."
But Annan understood what the Skeleton King meant: for any changes in high humanity, just refer to those epic and legendary warlocks.
They casually fall in love with elves, demons, and dragons, making stereotypes spread across countless worlds, and there is even such a thing as the Association for the Protection of Fanatical Star Wars Warlocks!
Hmm...but I should be different from them, right?
The Skeleton King talked about human nature in detail, which involved the rules of another world. Annan couldn't understand it... Fortunately, he didn't need to understand it.
Curiosity belongs to the mage, and the warlock only needs to rely on his face.
"Should we publish it?" Annan asked.
"Publish?" Finally there was something that Skeleton King didn't understand.
"Well, it was published in "The Voice of Freedom", and the title said...Skeleton King Leonefah discovered the third origin besides soul and vitality, human nature."
Annan Yue The more excited he said: "I guess other newspapers can't sit still for such a big news, and the entire Allen Continent will follow suit. In this way, everyone will know that you were the first to discover the third origin, and maybe it will attract more people." Come to like-minded companions.”
"I have no objection."
Before informing Evelyn that "Voice of Freedom" will be extremely wealthy, Annan must first settle the weirdos...
They are hungry if they are raised by Annan. Not dead, but they still want to live a normal life, make money and spend money normally... For example, Annan knows that Candlehead always hangs around the tavern, but he once said that he never drinks.
In view of the limited impact of their "withering aura", which would at most make flowers and plants wither and not even kill a fish, Annan agreed to them and even took the initiative to arrange jobs for them.
The Burnt Girl most wants to run a flower shop, but it is obviously impossible. However, she can wear a gray robe and sell plastic flowers on the street.
The Painter is the least likely to starve to death. He has gained a lot of popularity by painting portraits on the street.
The lanky dancing shadow went to the New World and the New World to work as a sex actor, bringing the anthropomorphism with him.
The Invisible Man wanted to go to the orphanage to play with the children, but Annan was worried that it would affect the children's health, so he asked him to perform magic on the streets with slugs and candles that had no special abilities.
