Personality V: I will save everything

Chapter 604: Refusing to Eat.

"What did you say? Where did I come from?"

Andrew looked at Holmes suspiciously, as if he had heard the most ridiculous question in the world.

He muttered to himself, he was just coming to Baker Street for a cup of tea at the invitation of McLaughlin, why was he being questioned by Holmes like this?

Andrew picked up the teacup and took a sip. A bitter taste instantly spread in his mouth.

He couldn't help but frown and secretly groan in his heart, this tea is too unpalatable!

He really couldn't understand why the same black tea tasted good when he drank it in the manor, but was so hard to swallow here.

Andrew tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his mouth and stole a glance at Holmes.

I saw him leisurely savoring the cup of original black tea, without adding sugar or milk, he just drank it directly.

Andrew secretly admired in his heart, what a strong taste buds must have to be able to tolerate such a bitter taste!

Andrew quietly stuck out his tongue, trying to ease the bitterness in his mouth, then calmed himself down and continued:

"If you just read the stories in the Bible, you will know, right?"

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he seemed quite satisfied with his answer.

(I have to complain about the author here. When I was looking up this story, I didn't think about it. It was so close to the relationship between the owner of the manor and Andrew. (ー_ー)!!

By the way, this is not a real story recorded in the Bible, it is a derivative, but it can be considered as such, anyway, I don’t understand it.)

.................................................. ........................

One day Eve was washing her newborn baby by the river, and God came to her.

God asked Eve, "Are all your children here?"

Eve hid her unwashed child because she was afraid that God would not accept her unwashed child.

Eve tacitly acknowledged that her children would be those who were washed, and those who were not baptized were not acknowledged by her.

God was angry and thought that Eve should not hide the children from him, so he decided that these children could no longer live among humans.

God then took the unwashed child away from Eve.

Eventually, the hidden child was transformed into a beautiful elf.

.................................................. ........................

"This is where I come from~" Andrew said softly with a faint smile on his face.

However, before he could finish his words, Mycroft suddenly interrupted him: "No, wait a moment..."

Mycroft held his head tightly with both hands, as if countless thoughts were colliding violently in his head, making it difficult for him to bear it.

Obviously, the story Andrew told was beyond Mycroft's understanding, and his brain cells seemed to be completely insufficient at this moment.

What on earth is this? Mycroft couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Isn't the story Andrew told equivalent to telling him that evolution is wrong?

How is this possible?

The theory of evolution is a theory that has been scientifically researched and proven countless times!

Just as Mycroft was in deep doubt, Andrew seemed to see through his thoughts and explained with a smile:

“In fact, the theory of evolution is not wrong. Everything in the world is constantly evolving. This is a common ability given to all living things by God.

Adam and Eve were indeed the first man and woman in the world, but this does not mean that all human beings are their descendants.

Throughout the long course of history, many other creatures have evolved into humans.

Therefore, the theory of evolution only explains the origin of human beings from a certain perspective. It is not completely wrong, but it is relatively one-sided. "

Seeing Mycroft's confused face, as if he didn't understand what he meant at all, Andrew couldn't help feeling a little anxious. He took a deep breath and decided to explain it in a more straightforward way.

"Hey, I've made it clear enough! Think about it, Adam and Eve are the ancestors of mankind, and the children they gave birth to are inbreeding! Inbreeding can lead to many problems, such as genetic diseases, gene defects and so on.

Therefore, their offspring will definitely have various problems.

But look at yourself. You don’t even know which generation you are of theirs. Logically speaking, you should have a lot of problems!

But in fact, you have no problem at all. Why is that? It is because new blood has been incorporated into the reproduction process.

How can you be so stupid that you can't even understand such a simple truth? "

After finishing speaking, Andrew chuckled twice.

.................................................. ........................

Holmes didn't care how his brother was being laughed at. He wanted to ask more questions. To be exact, from the beginning, he had a notebook as thick as a dictionary in his hand and kept taking notes.

With my eyes closed, it was truly incredible. This was a world that humans had never come into contact with before and it had to be well recorded.

Holmes then asked Andrew another question:

"I have read some relevant records, which mentioned that elves usually live in the forest and work from sunrise to sunset. They hate using iron tools, refuse to participate in battles, and do not seem to eat meat. Are these statements true?"

Andrew raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Haha, of course this is also fake!"

He paused for a moment, then continued to explain. Actually, it was not so much an explanation as it was reading out the settings in Carl's script that he had memorized.

"The reason why elves hate iron and meat is mainly because our sense of smell and taste are much more acute than humans. The rusty smell of iron and the fishy smell of meat are unbearable for elves in most cases.

However, this is not absolute, and these problems can be overcome in certain ways. "

At this point, Andrew thought for a moment and continued:

"As for refusing to fight, that's not entirely true. Although elves are usually peaceful and don't like fighting, when necessary, we will not hesitate to take up arms to protect ourselves and the things we cherish. Moreover, elves are quite good at fighting!"

.................................................. ........................

The last thing, Holmes asked Andrew with a smile and a relaxed tone if he could stand up. Although Andrew was a little confused, he still stood up obediently.

Holmes picked up a ruler and began to carefully measure Andrew's physical data. He first measured Andrew's height, then the length of his arms and legs, and recorded every data carefully.

The measurement process went very smoothly and Andrew cooperated very well. However, when Holmes was about to measure the length of Andrew's wings, he suddenly uttered a puzzled "Huh?"

When Andrew heard the “hmm”, he immediately turned around with a puzzled look on his face and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Holmes shook his head and explained, "It's nothing, actually. I just thought your wings would be transparent like a dragonfly, but I didn't expect them to be colorful and have patterns on them."

As he spoke, he gently touched Andrew's wings with his hands, feeling the soft texture and delicate patterns.

Of course, what Holmes said was that Andrew slapped the back of his hand hard with his wing.

The blow was really strong. Andrew used his powerful wings to hit Holmes' back of the hand mercilessly, making a crisp sound.

"How rude!" Andrew stared at Holmes with his eyes wide open, obviously very dissatisfied with his words just now.

Holmes was a little dazed by the sudden blow and he couldn't help but cry out "Ouch".

However, when he came back to his senses and saw Andrew's angry expression, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Haha, sorry..." Holmes gave a quick laugh, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

He was secretly upset. How could he say such a thing? It was really inappropriate for him to say such a thing.

Holmes couldn't help but think that if this sentence was applied to humans, wouldn't it be equivalent to him pointing at a person's hair and saying rudely: "Hey, why is your hair red? I thought it was blond!" Such words would undoubtedly make people feel very rude and disrespectful.

.................................................. ........................

It was originally just an ordinary conversation, and Andrew had been quite cooperative. However, just because of Holmes's ill-considered words, the whole situation suddenly became tense.

Andrew was obviously irritated, and the originally harmonious atmosphere of the conversation was broken in an instant, becoming extremely awkward.

Faced with this sudden situation, Holmes felt a little at a loss.

In order to ease this embarrassing situation, he suddenly had an idea and decided to go downstairs to the kitchen to bring up some delicious food. After all, delicious food can often make people happy, and perhaps this can calm Andrew's anger a little.

However, when Holmes and the landlady brought a large amount of food upstairs, the situation seemed to become a little delicate.

If it was just an apology, usually just some snacks would be enough, but they served so much food that it was obviously not just to fill their stomachs.

In fact, Holmes knew very well that this was also a small experiment of his.

He has always been curious about the eating habits of elves, wanting to know what foods they can eat and what foods are taboo for them.

So, he asked the landlady in advance and started preparing the food carefully several days ago, hoping to use this opportunity to observe Andrew's reaction.

Of course Andrew also saw through Holmes's plan. He rolled his eyes, but still cooperated with Holmes' experiment.

.................................................. ........................

Andrew has tried five dishes in a row, but surprisingly, he only picked up and smelled two of them, and then put them back without hesitation.

This detail caught Holmes's attention, and he began to recall a characteristic of elves that Andrew had mentioned before - their extremely keen sense of smell.

Now it seems that what Andrew said is true.

Because one of the two dishes he put back happened to contain butter.

This made Holmes wonder, could it be that elves were not only disgusted by the smell of meat, but also the greasy smell of butter?

What really aroused Holmes's curiosity, however, was that if one of the dishes had been rejected by Andrew because of the addition of butter, the other dish that he had put back was simply a salad.

After Holmes's previous quiet inquiries, he learned from the landlady that this salad contained only some vegetables and no other additives, at most a little salt.

Normally, such a simple salad should not be the reason for Andrew to refuse to eat.

"Oh, that's because it's not fresh anymore." Andrew gave this explanation.

In fact, not long ago, the owner of the manor jokingly tapped Andrew's nose and joked that his nose could be used to detect the freshness of food in the future.

At that time, Andrew just thought it was a joke and didn't take it too seriously.

However, the moment he picked up the plate of salad, a strange feeling surged in his heart.

From an ordinary person's perspective, there doesn't seem to be anything obviously unusual about this salad. At most, some of the leaves are slightly withered and have lost some vitality.

However, when Andrew gently lifted the salad and brought it close to his nose, a strong smell suddenly rushed into his nostrils like a torrent.

It was a unique sour smell that only rotten plants could emit, as if it was nature's final farewell to these lost lives.

The smell was so strong that it pierced Andrew's forehead like a sharp sword, making him frown.

He seemed to understand a little bit what those sinful souls Antonio had told him about tasted like, and he really admired Antonio's ability to eat them.
