Chapter 197 133 Balance (Alliance Leader Extra)
Chapter 197 133. Balance (lead update)
After that embarrassing sentence at the beginning, Fisher was almost certain that the "supernatural events" he encountered before were a prank by the whaleman who left the message on the stone wall.
It's really impossible to evaluate the badness of this whaleman. This moment actually reminded Fisher of the bad woman Renee for the first time. If Renee was here, she would definitely like this kind of prank.
After pausing for a second, Fisher shook his head to get rid of the extra thoughts in his mind, allowing Jasmine to continue reading the next paragraph.
Siatt behind him was still half-dead with his mouth open. It could be seen that demi-humans like centaurs were really not very good at water. In addition, she was the person closest to the ghost just now. This coming and going, The double physical and psychological blow almost drove her out of her body.
Anna watched the two of them study the contents on the stone wall without saying a word. She originally wanted to remind the two of them to hurry up and go to Lake Nali, but after thinking about it carefully, Siatt hadn't woken up yet, and it was only early midnight, so compared to He expected to arrive at the waterway much earlier, so he stopped talking.
Jasmine in front of the stone wall came closer, first read and filtered the content behind it, and then looked at Fisher happily and said,
"The following content is not a joke. It is about the travel thoughts left by this senior whaleman. Let me take a look."
Later, while reading the content, she translated it into the appropriate Nali language.
"'It's been one year since I landed on the bottom of the sea', ah, the term used here is [year] in the bottom of the sea, not [year]."
Jasmine was afraid that speaking Nali would confuse the two concepts, so she emphasized it again. After Fisher nodded, she continued to translate the above words,
"It has been a year since I landed ashore. The land blessed by the sun has made me linger, but today, I have to leave here and return to my hometown. When I said goodbye, I had a lot to say in my heart, but there was no one around to listen. , I have no choice but to write it all down here as a record. If other whalemen also come here and gain something, it will definitely be helpful to you on your journey ashore."
"The first thing that needs to be emphasized is that there is an absolute boundary between the land and the ocean. Once you cross the boundary, you will have to pay the same price for what you get here. That light, that vitality, and that sound do not belong to us. The consequences of forcing are not something you and I can bear. Remember Lamastia’s teachings: Life is all about balance.”
"Then what if we stop here not for the light in front of us, but for a living being on land? I don't know how to persuade you, but you should understand that the sweetness of falling in love is like poison, and in the end you will not be able to escape no matter what. . I just want to tell you one thing through the characteristics of our whale race passed down from generation to generation."
"Love is a radiant blessing that will give you unparalleled courage; love is also an unforgettable curse that will leave a wound that will never heal."
"That's it for now. I'll say goodbye where I am. See you again when we have the chance!"
Jasmine read to the end, while Fisher groped his chin and kept chewing the messages on the stone wall. A lot of the information on it was very interesting.
First of all, the whale man who left the above message has been wandering in the human world for a whole year and gained a lot from it, but he seemed to have discovered some secret of the whale man, so he decided to leave the land.
life is balanced
This keyword made Fisher couldn't help but think of many things, especially the characteristics of the subhuman races he had studied. He vaguely felt that there was a very strange balance between the creatures of each race.
To make a similar analogy, take the dragon race as an example.
The physical strength of individual dragon races is recognized as first-class strength in both the southern and western continents. A qualified adult dragon warrior can even destroy a slave-catching team of dozens of people with guns by himself. .
Logically speaking, with their extremely strong individual abilities, they should have been unrivaled in the Southern Continent.
Note that the races discussed here and later should temporarily exclude several demi-humans in the prophecy of annihilation.
Because Fisher has discovered that once the things in this world have any connection with the completed manual, they will instantly go beyond common sense. It is like cheating and there is no corresponding logic at all. Philon's soul technology and Blake's biological weapon technology .
Well, it doesn’t matter that my own demi-human girl has completed the manual. It seems to be a bit embarrassing to compare among the two, because except for its full bonuses in reproduction and bad taste, the rest of Fisher seems to be Got nothing.
Back to the topic, based on this premise, although the dragon race is powerful, it is also given very harsh reproduction conditions.
A draconic couple can have many children, but it is very likely that all their children will be single. As long as one of the children is successfully married, it can be regarded as an ancestral merit. The marriage of two couples can directly announce the happy event to the entire tribe. .
Thinking about it this way, Rafael's luck can only be said to be extremely good if he can match Fisher well.
As a result of this harsh breeding situation, the overall number of dragon races in the southern continent is actually very small.
Fisher speculated that the levels of life mentioned by Eliog actually correspond to individuals. According to individuals, all races can indeed be ranked at the same level, but once viewed as a whole group, they are A certain "balance" will be maintained.
On the other hand, looking at the whale race, according to previous research on Jasmine, they have a very long lifespan, and their reproduction rate is very similar to humans. There are no obstacles to reproduction, and they also have a twin ability system of blessing and curse.
According to this situation, their physical strength can compete with the dragon race, their life span is countless times longer than that of the dragon race, and their reproductive ability is not affected. Isn't this Lamastia's rogue preference for her own children?
Beyond that, Fisher couldn't find any reasonable explanation.
But now this slate has brought about another possibility of balance.
Thinking of this, Fisher looked at Jasmine next to him and asked,
"Jasmine, did you feel any difference after you came ashore and in the sea?"
“There are many, many differences”
When this was mentioned, Jasmine had a lot to say. She clasped her fingers and spoke one by one with a happy smile on her face.
"Well, first of all, there are a lot of delicious food, I can talk to a lot of people, I can see a lot of sunshine every day, and I can be with Fisher. I am happy every day on land, and I feel better than on land. Time is much slower under the sea."
"Much slower?"
"Ah, when I said that, I suddenly remembered."
Jasmine tapped her chin with her finger, suddenly remembered something, looked at the writing on the wall and said,
"My mother once told me that the whale race is the most insensitive race in the world. She said this was a secret told to her by Master Lamastia. I didn't understand what it meant before, but the comparison is After living on land, I slept in the sea for half a year, so I could eat delicious fish every time I opened my eyes."
Fisher suddenly realized what the [Absolute Boundary] on the wall meant. No wonder he had been thinking about a question before.
If the whale people don't forage for food on the seabed, and only rely on other ocean people to feed them fish, then they only feed them once a year. How can this be enough to eat?
In the past, Fisher could explain it with the conclusion that "you may eat enough fish once to last a year." But now it seems that this may not be the case at all.
Their lifestyle at the bottom of the sea makes their sense of time very dull. They sleep in darkness for half a year, get up to move, go back to sleep, get up and have another meal. That's a year.
Once ashore, under the sun, their schedules are adjusted to the same as other creatures, eating three times a day and sleeping once a day.
So, what will happen to their lifespan?
The first thing that Fisher thought of was that their life spans were likely to be shortened. Therefore, the whale species that came to live on the shore would probably not live as long as the whale species at the bottom of the sea.
Is this also the specific price of what is said on the stone wall: "You have to pay for what you get"?
After figuring out the key, Fisher looked at Jasmine with big eyes in front of him very seriously and said to her,
"Jasmine, the information recorded on this stone wall may be that the life span of your whale race will increase exponentially on the shore. Once a whale race chooses to stay on the shore, your sensitivity to time will also change. This will This is the reason why you will lose your longevity on the shore."
"If we extrapolate this, I don't know to what extent the lifespan of the whale species will decrease, but"
When Fisher said this, he looked at Jasmine and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.
Because at this moment, Jasmine did not show any surprised expression on her face, she just looked at Fisher quietly in front of her, with blue water constantly flashing through her big, watery eyes, reflecting inside With Fisher's shadow.
At this moment, Fisher suddenly understood something, so he spoke,
"You know your lifespan will be shortened on shore?"
Jasmine pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded lightly.
"Well, even before we went ashore, my mother told me that I couldn't stay ashore for long. It was only after Fisher told me that the lifespan of humans is different from that of whales that I began to realize this."
She stretched out her hands, but there was not much sadness on her expression. Instead, she said with some emotion,
"The few months here are like the years under the sea. I was quite jealous of humans at the time. How could it be unfair for Lord Lamastia to allow humans to live such a long life and still feel such slow time every day? Now I Only then did I realize that this is what He meant by the balance of life.”
"So, my aunt actually chose land between life under the sea and life on land. She has been away from the sea for eighty years and has been unable to return to life under the sea. My mother asked me to come to her, but she didn't really ask me to bring her back. Under the sea, she was just afraid that her aunt would never have the chance to see her relatives under the sea again, so she asked me to come and see her for the last time."
"Is this so"
Behind her, Anna's eyes were slightly touched, as if she was moved by the story of the whale race. She looked at the calm pool next to her, looking at the fluorescent light that was constantly lighting up around her, wondering what she was thinking about.
"However, I think my aunt will not regret it. I have seen many of the scenery she has seen on land. She has been to many places in the world. Maybe instead of living a boring life at the bottom of the sea, she would have enjoyed the experience. It’s valuable and beautiful. I actually think so too.”
"In the sea, I was always very timid, and my mother couldn't do anything about my timidity. I didn't dare to go anywhere, I felt that I couldn't do anything well, and I had no friends. But Fisher was willing to teach me and give me courage. If that's the case, I want to stay by your side forever, and this is also my choice."
Her eyes looking at Fisher were very straightforward and hot, but she seemed a little clumsy.
But this straightforward and simple mind has always been the easiest to move people. At this time, Fisher's heart was also touched by the burning heat revealed by her eyes at this time, and his heartbeat accelerated a little.
Just when she said this, Jasmine suddenly felt that Fisher's eyes were very eager, as if he wanted to eat her. She realized that she had just said so many shameless words seriously.
Her cute little face instantly turned red, and she waved her hands at Fisher, and her ears flapped quickly, as if wings were going to take her away.
"Ah, that, I didn't mean...whatever you want...wooo."
Well, the last words have become this kind of vague and cute words, as if to ease the embarrassment, Jasmine blushed and counted on her fingers,
"I am actually quite sensitive to vitality. After all, I am the only one in the entire whale race who has such a blessing. I actually secretly calculated when I was sleeping. The whale race can probably live 120 years on the shore, and with Fisher... that, it is also possible to get married and have children."
Well, until now, Fisher suddenly discovered a new characteristic of the whale race, that is, precocious puberty, but it seems that the whale race is actually an adult at the age of one. After all, even if they sleep for 80 years, they are enough to grow up.
Fisher smiled, facing Jasmine's somewhat shy and expectant gaze, he took the initiative to respond a little, put his hand on her head,
"I understand what you mean. But before that, let's go see your aunt first, and then talk about our business."
".Hmm!"
A strange sour smell of love spread in the small cave, and Anna moved her eyes away speechlessly. She had just been soaking in the water, so she was a little cold, so she covered her body to keep warm.
When she moved her eyes away, she suddenly saw in her peripheral vision that Hiatt had woken up a long time ago, but was still lying on the ground, with his ears erected, eavesdropping on the conversation between Fisher and Jasmine behind.
"."
It seems that you are still here secretly eating melons?
