Shuangwei's incident was like a heavy hammer hitting the back of Luo Binhan's head, completely waking him up from his confusion about the legend of Yuyin Girl. He realized that he had missed too many important things during this time.
He left behind the yawning Marin and chased Shuangwei. But when he came to the man and the wolf, he didn't know what to say.
He coughed a few times: "Do you still have time to chat more?"
Silver Wolf turned over and returned to his human form. Luo Binhan immediately noticed the disappointment in the little savage's eyes. He apparently prefers Frosttail's wolf form to his human form.
"We can talk here. He can't understand us." Frosttail said.
Luo Binhan didn't know where to start. Shuangwei's announcement was too sudden.
"You're not leaving with us?" He confirmed, "You're staying here forever?"
"For a while. When I'm done dealing with things here, I'll find a way to leave."
Luo Binhan had some doubts about this, because Shuangwei did not have his own spacecraft, and the sub-cabin aircraft of Silence did not support long-distance travel across the stars. But Shuangwei didn't look bothered at all, and seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure. Luo Binhan could only say helplessly: "Just to teach this child something?"
Frosttail nodded.
Luo Binhan couldn't help but look at the talented little savage again, and saw that he had dark skin, wavy ears, long hands and feet, and bright and flexible eyes. He even looked a bit like a thin wolf when lying down. This made Luo Binhan curious and a little uneasy. He didn't know whether this topic was suitable to continue asking. But Frosttail's natural attitude allayed his doubts.
"Why are you so close all of a sudden?" he asked, "Last time you told me to keep distance from those people, and now you are getting involved with this kid? What exactly are you going to teach him?"
"Just some basics for communicating with the forest." Shuangwei said. He answered only half of the question and then stopped talking. Luo Binhan thought he was not going to say any more, and then heard him say slowly: "We sometimes feel like this."
"How do you feel?" Luo Binhan asked absently.
"Apprentice." Shuangwei said, "or descendant, sometimes we will naturally know what kind of target to look for."
"So what exactly is the goal?"
"Given creatures...or creatures that can kill us."
"What?"
"It's not about this child." Shuangwei added, "He just has a special intuition. Your mage calls that talent the 'son of the forest'. After I finish teaching him what he needs to learn, he will explore it on his own." the remaining part."
A gust of wind blew from the gap outside the valley. Luo Binhan noticed that the little savage immediately raised his head and listened with vigilance. It was as if he was eavesdropping on other people's chatter, but the only sound that fell into Luo Binhan's ears was the whistling of the wind.
"He can hear the sounds of nature," Frosttail said, "at least part of it."
"What the hell is that? Is the wind talking to you?"
Shuangwei pondered for a moment and said: "You can understand it this way, but they are not simple words... Sometimes they will tell you some news, and sometimes they will persuade you to do something."
"for example?"
"Something you might not be comfortable doing."
Shuangwei's face showed a little uneasiness. That rare look suddenly reminded Luo Binhan of Marin's evaluation of the ancient laws - it was like they were dragged by a rope to do something. At the same time, he thought of Lan Que. Although he could not describe it clearly in words, at this moment he was vaguely aware of the difference between the so-called "ancient conventional laws" and "general conventional laws".
He asked with some understanding: "What did it make you do?"
"Hunting." Frosttail replied simply. Luo Binhan could tell from his tone that the hunting targets must be more than just pheasants and rabbits.
"And now you're teaching this little savage to listen?"
"I'm teaching him how to control and use it." Shuangwei corrected, "Hearing the sounds of nature is an innate talent, and it doesn't need teaching. But in the process of listening, he should know how to protect it. Oneself. This needs the guidance of predecessors to complete. Allowing this talent to go unchecked will lead to... a huge tragedy."
Luo Binhan asked him to explain more clearly. So Shuangwei sat up straight and looked at the village in the distance.
"That situation is very rare even among us and vampires." He said slowly, "There are some individuals who can not only hear the 'voice of nature', but also the 'voice of the world'. Some people say that they are stars. Song, some say it is the roar of the original species in the deepest part of the wave, but only those creatures who hear it really know what it is. However, that kind of hearing is innate. From the moment they are born, they are the voice of the world. Surrounded by the sound, they lose all feelings about the material world. That means..."
"Vegetative state?"
"Madman." Shuangwei said softly, "They were born to be driven crazy by that voice. Lion-hearted Keda, crimson Vera, dead lotus Ningwei...these names have been passed down from my elders. I'm here."
Luo Binhan was thinking about the lunatics he mentioned, but he didn't expect Shuangwei to suddenly mention his elders. This brought the topic of "parents" back to his mind.
"Bore your parents were werewolves?" He couldn't help but change the subject and asked, "I heard from Marin before that it's difficult for you to reproduce."
Shuangwei showed a strange expression, as if Luo Binhan had said something very funny.
"I don't have parents," he said. "Chongyue creatures are very different from your definition of 'offspring'. There are many possible ways for us to create offspring, but usually not through...mating. That pair of vampires It is especially impossible to breed, regardless of whether their blood is active or not. They will use their own blood to control more dependents, but that does not mean heirs. They are usually unwilling to create heirs, and the older the individual, the more so."
"Why? Population control?"
"The offspring will weaken their own strength." Frosttail said, "The new name will replace the old. Unless they are determined to end eternity, the offspring will be harmful and useless. When I was born, a werewolf must have died somewhere, And I inherited part of its knowledge and name. I was born knowing that I was different from my siblings, and when I decided to end my life, another werewolf would be born."
Luo Binhan was confused. He thought for a while and said: "Then your population is not fixed?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Shuangwei said, "But occasionally there will be exceptions. A very small probability of hybrids, or some secret rituals, may create new ones that have never been passed down. Individually, there is no such example in our species. This is why it is so difficult for us to reproduce."
Luo Binhan felt that there was still room for effort in this matter, but Shuangwei was obviously not keen on expanding the ethnic group. Finally they turned the conversation back to the little savage.
"It doesn't matter if you accept a disciple, right?" Luo Binhan asked warily, "Won't it kill you if you become a disciple?"
"He doesn't know how yet." Shuangwei said lazily, "It is the tradition of those mages to duel with the teacher. We have no such requirement. Besides, it is a taboo for us for an apprentice to kill the teacher. He will be severely cursed. Usually turning into a wolf or something.”
Now Luo Binhan knew another way to create a human wolf. He saw that Shuangwei's mind had been made up, so he had no choice but to lower his head and pat the little savage on the head.
"Stop being addicted to masturbating all day long." He persuaded earnestly, "Is it reasonable for a man to hold on to his furs? Go ahead and check out the flower ropes with girls if you have nothing to do. Only that one has a future."
The little savage who was willing to listen to the wind did not take his advice seriously. Shuangwei, who had returned to his wolf form, raised his paws and easily knocked Luo Binhan over. It covered its little friend's belly with its tail and continued to lie on the ground and take a nap.
Their harmonious and peaceful atmosphere made Luo Binhan feel deserted and lonely. He wiped the weeds off his butt and trouser legs, and remembered that he also had a close savage friend, so he decided to pay a visit to Little Box Brother.
"Are all those savages in the village now? Didn't they go out hunting or something like that?" He asked the two people. As a result, no one answered at all, so he had to walk away angrily and go to the village to look for the person himself. He wandered from the east to the west, and finally found Brother Xiaoxiang near the exit of the basin. This savage with wonderful blood was sitting on the ground, looking up at the rocks in front of him with longing.
Yaleriga was sitting on the rock, holding a large bouquet of flowers in her arms.
Luo Binhan was almost frightened by this scene and his heart stopped. He rushed forward immediately. He hugged Brother Xiaoxiang and slapped him hard on the face.
"Don't look! Don't look!" He shouted sternly, "Are one or two of them conscious? Boys must learn to protect themselves, you know!"
"Ugh." Brother Xiaoxiang said in a daze.
Luo Binhan threw him to the ground casually, and stood between him and Yaleriga: "You old man, don't you have some taboos?"
"I didn't do anything to him." Yaleriga said, "I just showed him something."
"what's that?"
"His future."
"Hey." Luo Binhan said reflexively, "Are you still a prophet?"
He was almost ready to crouch down with his head in his hands, but Yaleriga didn't use her tail. She jumped down from the rock and motioned for Luo Binhan to follow her.
"What do you want to do again?" Luo Binhan asked half-surprised and half-suspicious.
"Take you to see the end of history." Yaleriga said, "Their cave has collapsed."
