Chapter 1518 Sacrifice

Human beings are curious, human beings are greedy, and these two points have never been in conflict.

They are longing for and exploring the unknown all the time. At the same time, they are also trying their best to label these unknowns, hoping that someone will set a price for them.

Of course the higher the better.

In Zephyr Continent, not many people have seen griffins. If they were hunted, made into specimens, and displayed in a museum, someone would definitely pay to watch them, and someone would even pay a lot of money to buy them for collection.

After all, things are rare and valuable.

Moreover, don’t take a chance and think that if we leave this island, no one else will land here in the future.

You know, the reason why no one landed here before was because it was not included in the development list and sea access was not convenient, but it is different now.

As long as the emperor who has jurisdiction over this sea area sends a request to Master Dewey, hoping to be allowed to borrow magic airships, land on surrounding islands, assist in the development of the islands, and provide partial operating license rights to the islands, Master Dewey will definitely not refuse. , by then, a large number of magic airships carrying many humans will land on the island.

By then, it won’t just be a matter of strolling around and saying hello.

All monsters that show hostility will be killed, and all cherished monsters will be transported away directly. Some of them will be used as research materials for various studies, and others will be made into specimens and displayed for exhibitions.

When explaining this to the gryphon, I joked: "Although humans are indeed destroying the ecology and destroying species by doing this, it is also what they are most accustomed to and what they like to do the most."

I took the three little griffins from Phoenix, touched their furry bodies, and said, "So, for the sake of your children and yourself, think about it carefully, but time is limited, so it's best to answer as soon as possible. "

After that, he handed the cub back to the gryphon.

The griffon took the cub and protected it carefully. It seemed that it was not like some creatures that would kill a cub contaminated with human aura.

This huge monster is thinking, choosing, and observing, just as it was hiding behind the trees, thinking, choosing, and observing our intentions.

The phoenix blew gently in my ear: "Xiao Yi, those little griffons are so cute."

She only said half a sentence, and then looked at me with her big, watery eyes.

I pondered for a moment and smiled slightly: "I'll try my best to find a way."

She smiled sweetly.

Phoenix's intention is very obvious, she wants to raise griffon cubs.

It is precisely because I know what she is thinking that I say I will try my best to find a way. After all, judging from the current situation, it is not me who has the final say whether we can get the griffon cub over, but the behemoth in front of me. The final say.

As long as it is willing to go with us, how can the cub be left behind?

But if it rejects my suggestion and insists on staying here, humph, to put it bluntly, we have a large number of people now, and there are several people who are stronger than it. I really want to take the cub away from it. It's so easy to grab it.

Furthermore, Phoenix just wanted griffin cubs. It didn't matter whether they were one or three, or whether they were dead or alive.

Even if she insists on living, it doesn't matter. In the current situation, it is impossible for the griffin to crush all three cubs to death with one claw.

It’s not that it doesn’t have the strength to crush a cub to death, but I won’t give it any chance.

As long as there is a living one, even if it is dying, it doesn't matter. There are many priests in the team, and if one of them can't be together, I don't believe in the medical treatment of it.

Back and forth, all possibilities were blocked by me. I finally relaxed and leaned against the tree leisurely, cheering up.

While I was relaxing, my pocket suddenly trembled, and the call crystal came to respond.

It was Master Dewey's call.

"Xiaoyi," Master Dewey got straight to the point and said, "That portal you mentioned before, have you ever seen what's on the other side of it?"

"Yes," I said, "It seems to be the deep sea. As for which area of ​​the deep sea, I don't know."

"Oh, that's right," Master Dewey said, "If it's the deep sea, maybe I can help you."

After listening to this, I heard that Master Dewey was really timely. I had been thinking about asking him for help, but I didn’t expect that he took the initiative to come to me.

Resisting my excitement, I asked tentatively: "Are you referring to the submarine?"

"Well, that's it," Master Dewey said.

"Remember the last time I went there, you said that the submarine was still in the experimental stage and could be put into use so soon?"

"It's not put into use." Master Dewey shook his head and said, "It's just to test the effect."

It turned out to be just a practical stage.

"Then why don't you test it in the shallow sea?" I asked puzzledly: "If it loses control in the deep sea, the survival rate of its internal members will be as low as several decimal points."

Master Dewey pondered for a few seconds and said: "If you want to seek development and progress, you must make sacrifices and sacrifices."

After a moment of silence, I said, "Yes, I know."

"It's good to know," Master Dewey said, "Let's not talk about it for now. I'll make the preparations first. When you return to Moonlight City, let me know and I will send someone there immediately."

I hung up the call and was speechless.

"If you want to seek development and progress, you must make sacrifices and make sacrifices." This sentence has been echoing in my mind.

I don't mind people dying, but if we carry out practice rashly, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be an unjust death?

Those who drive submarines are definitely technicians with qualified skills. If they die, it will definitely be a big loss to technological progress.

However, I couldn't find any reason to keep them. After all, they were ordered by Master Dewey, which was an order with higher authority than the Dwarf King and Goblin King. I was not qualified to revoke the order.

After thinking about it, there was no good solution. In desperation, I had no choice but to sigh and shake my head.

After all, a group of scientific and technological talents who are useful to me may be sacrificed. I feel very unhappy and want to lose my temper with others.

But it was wrong to lose my temper with my family, and there were no monsters around that could make me violent, so I had no choice but to lose my temper at the gryphon.

Making noises and yelling is not what a mature man should do, so I chose to apply pressure.

This will shorten the time left for the gryphon to choose and think.

I had planned to stay here until the next morning.

Now, I have changed my mind and don’t give it that much time. No, to be precise, I don’t give it any time at all.

Standing up, I patted the grass clippings on my clothes and said solemnly: "Let me give you an answer now. Are you going to come with us or stay?"

The gryphon didn't respond at all, still thinking deeply.

"Well, since you like to think, then think slowly." As I said that, I walked slowly towards the outside of the nest. As I walked, I said: "Before I leave the nest, you'd better give me a clear answer. If by then If you still haven’t answered, I will treat it as if you have given up answering and decided to stay on the island.”
