Overturned Tower

Hearing this, Russell was slightly taken aback.

"I thought elves didn't care about life and death..."

Of course he also knew that the privileges of the elves actually came from the acquiescence of the dragon.

But perhaps it was the existence of Tovatus that gave Russell the impression that "the elves may not be all fun people".

Now it seems that it should be that the elf Fengping was killed.

"Elves really don't care that much about life and death... But that doesn't mean they don't care about death."

Grandma Lan happily shook her head, picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Obviously this is not the first time someone has asked this question, and she even has experience: "You all overlook one thing. That is, not all elves can live forever. Only those 84 special elves who bear the 'destiny', That is to say, the 84 elf directors now have memory backups..."

"...Indeed. I was thinking about it."

Russell nodded and agreed: "In this case, it is impossible to develop a tradition of not caring about life and death among the elves."

Although the number of ordinary elves is small, they are not that few.

There are more than 3 million people in this world, and the proportion of elves is one ten thousandth.

Not all elves will become "directors".There are also some who exist as artists, writers, craftsmen... It is not that there are elves who fail to start a business and have no money.

Unlike those 84 people.Although they live long, they are not immortal.

"Even those 84 people are not necessarily willing to 'reincarnate'."

"Because growing up again will delay a lot of plans and make myself vulnerable."

"There must be a reason. Another reason is... Even in the philosophy of the director of the elves, 'reincarnation' is not completely regarded as 'resurrection'.

"Individuals are completely different. Even if they hold the same memory, because different bodies have different genes, different genders, different hormone levels, and different personal talents, they may not be able to live as the same person in the end...not to mention , in fact, the memory is not exactly the same.

"The life of an elf is very long. Even if there is only a little difference at the beginning, the difference will become very obvious after a thousand years."

"...It is obviously a long-lived species, but it is very sensitive to this kind of thing?"

Russell murmured.

If this "right to reopen life" is placed in the short-lived species group... Although there may be some debate, there will never be any hesitation.Everyone must be ecstatic.

——Isn’t this the common plot of rebirth after death in novels?

In the end, the elves who can live longer, but instead taboo this...

Hearing this, Grandma Lan gave Russell a meaningful look.

"It seems that you don't know yet."

"……what?"

"Let me think about it first and tell you if it's okay..."

"Since Bad Day introduced me to you, I probably want me to tell you about it."

She grinned slightly.

But there was no smile on his face.

The wrinkled old face suddenly had a hint of terror.

"Have you ever seen what an elf fetus looks like?"

She asked in a low voice: "Or, have you ever seen a human fetus?"

"……I have no idea."

Russell shook his head hesitantly: "Human fetuses... I've seen them before. The ears of human fetuses are round, and they don't have any spiritual relative characteristics."

His first reaction just now was the special case of "inferior" - he is a hybrid of elves and demons, which proves that elves are also fertile.

But he seems to have never seen an elf in the form of a "fetus".I haven't even heard of it... Even "Tovatus", who is the youngest son of an elf, looks like a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old.

He didn't even know if elves' fetuses also had long ears, or if elves' long ears were themselves a kind of spiritual relative characteristic?

"Then let me tell you this secret... After all, it has something to do with the bad day, and it's normal for him not to want to say it. I can't take this matter to the grave."

Grandma Lan sighed: "If you don't know about this, you will never be able to understand the mission of the Tower of Babel ... and you will not understand the meaning of the existence of the deer head statue.

"Although I'm obviously retired, I still have the mission of 'passing on the secret' in mind."

——She didn't even hide anymore, she was once a member of the Tower of Babel.

And when she uttered these words, Russell saw a little death in this old man in a trance.

"Haven't you ever thought that since human beings can gradually have the characteristics of spiritual relatives...then can they gradually lose the characteristics of spiritual relatives?"

Grandma Lan's first words made Russell's eyes widen.

He vaguely realized something.

What would it look like if human beings lost the characteristics of spiritual relatives...

"That's the elf."

Grandma Lan replied: "Elves are not a naturally born species. They do not rely on reproduction to increase the population, but are transformed from humans...the evolution of humans.

"It's like having an antibody after you get a disease. If you 'cure' after getting a spiritual disease, you will no longer have a spiritual disease, but become a long-lived species. It belongs to the elf's long ears, that's" Spirituality' proof of healing.

"So, of course there will be no fetuses of elves. Because the insanity wants to stabilize, at least until the beginning of puberty.

"From that time on, if the elves' top-secret technology removes the characteristics of spirit relatives... Humans will become elves."

Grandma Lan did not hesitate in front of Russell, telling the top secret that anyone who knew would be sentenced to death: "That's why the elves strictly control the number—they can strictly control the number.

"This is the secret of the elves."

How is it possible that the elf director can be reborn immediately after death?

Even with the permission of "reducing one person and giving birth to one person", it will take a long time from pregnancy to childbirth.

As a long-lived species, elves should take longer to conceive a fetus.

Russell's initial thought was that the elves might have a "fetal base" in which they stored many empty husks.

Just like in a sci-fi movie, there is a row of training warehouses.Every time it is allowed, one will be released from it, or a memory will be implanted in it.

...But if you think about it carefully, there are actually obvious loopholes.The current world is 1202. It is known that some elves were born from 0 years ago... Would the elves of that time really have such excellent technology?

How do they maintain the complete pure blood of the elves?

Now Russell finally understood.

Why are elves and humans not reproductively isolated but not allowed to reproduce...

Why the aesthetics of elves is very close to that of humans...

Why can the dead elf director be resurrected immediately...

Suddenly, Russell thought of the shiny silver "antlers" of the deer head, which seemed to be wrapped in a layer of tinfoil.

——The appearance of the deer head is like a beautiful girl, but it has huge antlers that only a stag has.

At that time, Russell thought that maybe the deer head portrait itself had been damaged in the war, and the antlers were external implants, not ordinary antlers coated with a metal film.

But now it seems...

Chapter 20 Ask your child to wait on the way from school

"Looks like you've guessed it."

Grandma Lan sighed: "The name inherited by the leader is called Tokifat. Her original name was 'Lilian'. In theory, she should be the director of Shenzhi Heavy Industry, and she should be responsible for the "plans and prophecies". destiny.

"But the inheritance at that time was interrupted by the attack of the angel. She failed to fully inherit the memory of the previous generation of Tokifat, and her personality was not completely rewritten. When the members of the Tower of Babel took her crippled away, it was originally As a trophy, not a new member... Later, she escaped from the identity of the '84' ​​by her own will.

"That's why she became such a powerful mage; that's why she didn't have much hatred for the angel even though the angel gave her a fatal wound.

"It is also because of this that she is willing to disperse her consciousness, and only one person can control the 'Wandering City Babel' that theoretically requires more than 20 people to barely control; so even if she endured it, she should have died a long time ago. She was fatally injured several times, and she didn't dare to die at all... She could only reluctantly glue the remaining [-]% of her body to the machine to support herself to survive.

"Because the deer head figure knows that as long as she closes her eyes... it will no longer be her who comes back to life.

"The new generation of Tokifat will completely inherit her memory, as well as the personality and position belonging to 'Tuojifat'. By then, the Tower of Babel will be over."

The bronze statue of the deer head always has its eyes open.

As long as the deer head dies, the newborn Tokifat will master all the secrets of the Tower of Babel.

The head of the deer mechanizes his personality and disperses his consciousness... Mostly it is a common sense as a second hand.

She wasn't even sure if it would work.

I just want to see if my body is dead but my consciousness is still alive, can I deceive the reincarnation mechanism of the elves.

She looks like a doe, looks like she's not even an adult...but has the horns of an adult male sika deer.

The sika deer is an animal that only the male deer has horns.

And before adulthood, the horns of male deer exist in the form of soft "velvet" instead of ossified hard horns.

Elves always call other people's relatives, which is essentially a sense of superiority.

Just as Russell's mentor likes to call him a kitten; Tovatus calls the barber "Little Bird".

It is precisely because they no longer have the characteristics of spiritual relatives, and having the characteristics of spiritual relatives means "short-lived species".

The deer head retains the characteristics of its spiritual relatives that have long since ceased to exist, or even never existed, and it is precisely because of this sense of superiority that it deeply hates it.

On the other hand, the motive should be to conceal one's identity.

If you see sharp ears, your first reaction may not be to think of soul relatives such as does, but it is easy to directly think of elves.

But if you see the huge antlers for the first time, your attention will be drawn to the matter of "whether the head of the deer is male or female".

The moment he learned of this huge secret, Russell understood many doubts in the past.

He even vaguely knew what Bad Ridge did back then...

If he didn't guess wrong.

The bad day should be the rejection of the opportunity to "become an elf" or even "become an elf director".

That's why he defected to the family... But as a relative, Grandma Lan didn't feel bad for him, and even vaguely supported him.

From the fact that the Nan family gave Bad Ri a name, the Nan family should be full of hope for him.

Not only the young master of the family, but also specially invited a teacher from the church to teach Nanliujing swordsmanship...

At that time, Russell's father "Sheath" was an undercover agent in the church, even reaching the level of the archbishop.

At that time, the code name of the sheath inside the Tower of Babel was "Bishop".

It's like "Ultramarine" and "Barber".

And the archbishop of the Cyber ​​Church is undoubtedly a powerful figure.The only ones who are higher than him are the cardinal and the pope. In the company, they are probably at the level of the general manager, second only to the board of directors.

It must have paid a huge price to be able to invite such a person across the island as a tutor.

This should be to lay a good foundation for him, to give him a good body, and to develop excellent talents.

Why are elves all talented people, handsome men and beautiful women?

It's not because they have good genes, but only such geniuses barely have the chance to become elves!

Directors only need to be reincarnated from generation to generation, and they can become all-rounders naturally.

Because every time they reincarnate, they can get different talents.But from another perspective, it means that "the other person will get all their memories".

That's why the directors of the elves have a wonderful contradictory state of "not afraid of death but also afraid of death".

Then it is completely understandable that Director Kamalthe would implement such a radical extermination plan....

He may be the type whose personality is closer to the carrier than the inherited "Kamarser" consciousness.

——So he will be afraid of death!

"...You really gave me a big problem."

Russell frowned.

This is undoubtedly top secret.

Just knowing is enough to give him a death.

But Grandma Lan didn't care: "Anyway, you are also a member of the Tower of Babel.
