Chapter 2672 Drowning

"So what?" Ishtar glared at her viciously, "You don't look like my little brat, you don't have the right to be my daughter, I'd rather die than give up!"

"Mitra, what is that expression on your face? Why, you don't agree with me? That's right. After all, you don't care about blinding your own dominant eye. You can be called a freak among freaks. It's normal if you don't like my way of doing things. .”

"But having said that, it's my own child. I have the final say on what she deserves. What are you? Is it your turn to object? You have the ability to give birth to one yourself!"

"Don't talk to me about anything, I won't let you go, I don't care!"

"Taking a step back, I did this for the benefit of that little bastard! Anyway, the deformed baby is destined to be ridiculed all his life, so it's better to die as soon as possible, and it will be settled once and for all, so as not to suffer and suffer!"

"And you, Saoirse, stop talking to me about the future of Udinos. After I die, even if Udinos is flooded, it's none of my business!"

Ishtar roared to himself, gasping for breath as if exhausted, and waved his eyes weakly.

"Saoirsa, take that deformed monster away, so I won't be upset...Tie her to a rock and throw her into the lake to drown...Be careful, don't do it this time What a mistake!"

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Saoirse sighed helplessly, wrapped the beholder cub that was hanging feebly in the air with a blanket, turned around and floated outside the door.

Joan hastily bowed to the beholder queen, turned around and chased out of the bedroom, trying to stop Saoirse and persuade her not to drown the deformed baby.

She just chased after her, and before she could speak, Saoirse spoke first.

"Mitra, this is none of your business, don't interfere!"

"But--"

"Don't talk about it, what you should do now is to go home quickly, drink a few glasses of wine, sleep well, and forget what you saw here today, understand?"

Facing the indifferent and irresistible gaze of the Prime Minister, Qiao An had nothing to say, so she turned and left under her gaze.

Drifting on the way home, Qiao An's heart was overwhelmed, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time.

The newborn born with deformed eyes reminded her of the deformed eyeball on the back of her neck, and she couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

A rational voice echoed in her mind, warning her not to meddle in her own business!

Yes, that deformed baby looks very pitiful, reminding you of your own childhood experience, and then feel sorry for each other, but if you think about it carefully, can it be the same?

No matter how you change your appearance, you are human after all, at least your soul is closely connected with your humanity, and that brat...she is a beholder!

No matter how weak and helpless she looks now, if she is allowed to survive, she will eventually grow into an evil and crazy "giant-eyed tyrant"!

Precisely because of her congenital deformities and childhood shadows, she is likely to be more cruel, twisted, evil, and crazy than ordinary beholders in the future, bringing more disasters to people and causing more serious damage!

With one less crazy beholder, at least the world won't get any worse!

It's better to die as soon as possible for this kind of disaster. Why do you waste your feelings for her and cause trouble for your upper body?

However, another voice also echoed in Joan's mind, putting forward a completely opposite point of view.

You regard human nature as paramount, so let’s imagine this—if the newborn baby is a human baby girl, can you also stand by and watch her be abandoned by her mother, and die of hunger and cold in the wilderness?

"Can you bear it?"

Joan asked himself.

she can't.

As long as there is still a trace of humanity left, she can't just sit back and watch.

If "humanity" is only applicable within human society, and a set of value standards that are more cruel and contrary to human nature are adopted for other "non-my race" creatures, then what is the difference between human beings and mind flayers?

Is there disharmony within the mind flayer community?

Are mind flayers not kind to their own kind?

But how do they treat other species?

If you are not a mind flayer, would you like to live in a world where the mind flayers trample and enslave you, where everything from spirit to body may be deprived?

Just because you were unlucky in your reincarnation and didn't have the honor to be a member of the mind flayer community, but was born as a human or other lowly creatures that in the eyes of mind flayers are only slaves and food, so you deserve it Unlucky, you can only obediently donate your own brains?

Joan felt that human nature should not be so narrow.

Yes, beholders are mostly evil and cruel, but how much of this behavior pattern is innate, and how much is acquired by the influence of environment and education?

As a scholar, Joan would not easily use words with strong dogmatic meanings such as "nature", "destiny" or "national inferiority", because this does not conform to the principle of seeking truth from facts.

If a beholder is placed in the right environment and given good care and a sound education, can she be raised to be more upright and kind than her traditionally-lived brethren.

If I try my best to help her correct her congenital mental defects, is it possible to help her develop a healthy, positive and optimistic attitude?

Joan was born in this world as a deformed orphan, and she couldn't personally verify whether this possibility existed, but she could try to practice this experiment on others, even if the other party was a beholder cub born with deformities.

The young mage had a brief but intense battle of thoughts in his mind, and in the end emotions prevailed over reason.

Joan made up her mind and hurriedly took a "mythical invisibility" on herself, turned back the same way, quietly followed Saoirse, and flew all the way to the edge of the triangle lake.

The lakeside was deserted, and there was no other figure except Saoirse. Occasionally, gravel fell from the towering dome and fell into the dark surface of the lake, causing a wave of waves, and the sound of the water waves quickly subsided and returned to silence.

Joan hid behind a big rock, stretched out an eye stalk, and secretly observed Saoirse's actions through the cracks in the rock.

The Prime Minister was like a ball of snow-white balloons, floating quietly by the calm lake. One eye stalk was still wrapped around the dying abandoned baby. His back was facing Joan, and his main eye was looking at the lake. He was lost in silence for a long time, as if he was recalling the past.

After a long time, she finally turned around and cast a detection spell to sweep around.

Seeing this scene, Joan secretly rejoiced that he was far enough away from Saoirse, and that he had blessed the "mythical invisibility" in advance, so that she would not be found.

Saoirse searched carefully twice, and confirmed that there were no other creatures nearby, then took out a rope, gathered the newborn's ten eye stalks behind her, and tied them tightly with the rope so that she couldn't break free.
