As the campfire rose, a strange team began to prepare dinner next to the ruins of the town. There were men, women, humanoid and inhumane objects, and hairy inhumane objects in these teams surrounded by flames. When the soup pot on the campfire began to make a boiling sound, Elsa began to use wooden bowls to serve vegetable soup. Although there were a lot of people present, the only one who was able to make food that everyone could enjoy and taste well was a small amount of preserved vegetables and dried meat in the carriage and local wild grass.
"Interesting. It''s so interesting." Cheese tore up the dough in his hand, threw it into the soup and softened it, while his eyes were still on Jerry, who was sitting next to Carus. The eyes seemed to be looking at some kind of exquisite art, which made the mice uncomfortable.
"You''ve been watching him all afternoon. Do you have to cut him open to show you the inner structure to satisfy you?" Elsa was a little discontented. She knew how attentive the mage was when she met something interesting. She could still dream of accompanying cheese to dissect the early victims of the rat man plague. But it''s not the beginning. There is not so much time for cheese to spend on his curiosity at will. Every second later, more people will be in danger.
"No, how can I be willing to cut him open. He is the most perfect individual I have ever seen. Don''t you realize how special he is? Look, he''s eating vegetables The mage didn''t recognize the dissatisfaction in Elsa''s words. He put down the wooden bowl and pointed to Jerry who was sipping vegetable soup, leaving the latter stunned.
"I know it''s important for a child to grow up, just like I hated carrots when I was a kid. But I don''t see anything worth your reaction. " Said Jack, frowning, as puzzled as Elsa about the cheese.
"No, no, no, you don''t understand." The mage stood up. He walked around the campfire to Jerry, put his hands on the mouse man''s shoulder, and said in a very serious voice, "this is not a simple question of whether to choose food or not. The problem is, he, Jerry, our new friend, is a real, no doubt rat man. And as far as I know, leaving aside the native rat people, even our friends in Higuchi, even Gloria, the first patient I saved myself! It is very difficult for them to overcome their instinct to eat something other than meat. But look at our children. He can eat without any burden. Don''t you understand what it means? "
"You mean the rat man instinct in him has been eliminated?" She had heard cheese talk about the mutant rat man of Valley City.
"It''s not as simple as elimination." Cheese nodded and looked relieved. Finally, some of his companions could keep up with him, though only a little bit. "Comparing Jerry with the average mutant rat man, we can see that there is a huge gap between them. Let''s not talk about the physical ability that the curse crow has given the child. In terms of traits, there are at least three differences between Jerry and the mutant. Omnivory, just one of them. "
"And the other two?" After all, it was about his apprentice. He also wanted to know what secrets were hidden in Jerry.
"The second difference is that Jerry can''t control the native rat like the mutant." The mage then looked at the others. This time, even klandi couldn''t keep up with him. "Don''t think it''s a bad thing! In fact, it''s a big good thing, you know? Mutants can control protozoans. Gloria cannot control protozoans, but they can''t attack them. But Jerry, Jerry, in the eyes of those native rat people, is no different from humans. This means that if the previous rat society was similar to the relationship between ants or bees, subordinates would instinctively yield to their superiors. By analogy, combined with the recent siege, it''s not hard to guess that all rat people have to obey some kind of final will. " At this point, cheese pointed to the sky, "but the appearance of Jerry shows that this kind of instinctive submission can be changed. Being attacked by other rat people proves that he is not in that huge network of superiors and subordinates. We have a chance to let the rat people really, freely
"The curse crow guy can do good things occasionally. He has proved that rat man is a race that can not be enslaved! Do you understand, Elsa, we can save them! " The mage''s eyes flashed with excitement, and he was really happy about it, because cheese had always felt guilty about human beings who had become rat people. He felt that he had no way to save them from this curse. At most, he could only reduce the number of victims by adding medicine to Longxue stream. But now, in Jerry, he saw the light of recovery for all rat people.
But to the master''s surprise, the landlady didn''t jump up as he thought. Elsa frowned and tried to think about the meaning of cheese. "You mean we can find a way to make the rat man more rational?"
"Yes, to be precise, they may lose some memories, but they will remember their experiences as human beings." Cheese nodded.
"But they can''t be human, can they?" Elsa said perplexedly. In her opinion, even helping the rat people recover their senses is of no use, because their lives have been deprived by the plague. What they have survived and what they have woken up from that body are not the people they used to be.The light in cheese''s eyes faded. He looked around for a week and found that the expressions on other faces seemed to indicate that their views were similar to those of the landlady. But he was still reluctant to give up and persuade them, "it''s no big deal that they can''t change back to human beings. Their consciousness is human enough, isn''t it?"
"That''s not true of them." Jack said suddenly. He stood up and looked at the mage, "like me, am I human? If I become a wolf, I dare say that no one will care if I have thoughts. They will only regard me as a monster. Do you know what those soldiers called me when we were in Wangdu? You don''t want to know. "
Hearing wolf Walker''s words, the two witches and even Karus''s faces showed agreement. They knew that not only humans, but all species in the world would judge whether they were the same or not by their appearance. Witches may be OK, at least as long as they don''t show magic, they look just like humans, but demons and werewolves are not so lucky.
"That''s different. Rat people are not as different as wolf walker. They can be regarded as some kind of special group as long as people..."
"No one will forgive them. Believe me, after all this, people just can''t wait to kill them like real mice. Even if they can talk. " Rosa said in a deep voice, shaking his head. As one of the best warlords in the Kingdom, he knew exactly how hatred works.
Mage, silence. He suddenly found that he did not know his race as he imagined, or that he did not understand the secular society. He wanted to say that they should not bear the blood debt in the hands of rat people, because they could not think at that time. But he knew, Lothar knew it, Jack knew it, and his companions knew
"I see. I''m sorry. I lost my temper." Cheese said in a low voice, turned around and walked into the debris of the turbid current alone. "I need a person to think about it. Don''t come to me."
