Ashe Yuesong was relieved to learn that this fellow tribe member had not taken the wrong path. When asked by Gretel, she said readily:
"...I met an indigenous boy in the fertile forest. His relatives became prisoners of war and begged me to save him. Since he had traveled thousands of miles in three or four months, I came over to take a look.
.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Grete with a smile in his eyes:
"Now that I have met you, I just want to ask, are those people still alive? If they are alive, what conditions are required to redeem them? I will try my best to do it if I can!"
This obviously also included the promise of "willing to help". What was even more rare was the willingness to redeem, not just asking Grete to let him go in vain. Grete was in a good mood and nodded to her with certainty:
"I run the research institute, so it's not difficult to release a few people. Sister Yue Ge, don't worry, as long as all the prisoners of war are still alive, none of them will die after being sent to the research institute -"
After saying that, he walked back and forth. Ashe Yuege quickly stopped him:
"Just stay alive. Don't be in a hurry. We're not friends and relatives anyway, so there's no need to delay your business - By the way, what did you say you wanted to do? Can I help?"
"It's like this, I met a half-elf lady here..."
Grete spoke eloquently. Only then did Ash Yuege know that the vaccine research and development had achieved initial results. Grete was going to deliver the vaccine to Ms. Jasmine’s husband and take some time with Cerira by the way.
Have some fun in the plains at the foot of the mountain——
"Ms. Jasmine said that her father came from the rain forest in the south. If possible, I would like to ask sister Yue Ge to come with us and have a few words with Ms. Jasmine..."
"Hey! What do I think it's about?" Ashe Yuege waved her hand carelessly:
"I will go with you right now! Pointing the direction for the children of the tribe is what every elf should do! If she needs it, I can take her back to the Fertile Forest, or even accompany her for a spin! The elves around me
I know all the forest rangers!"
Gretel: "..."
He suddenly wanted to know how big a circle this "circle" was. Considering that this sister had traveled thousands of miles from the southern rainforest to seek help from a native...
This circle might be the entire Amazon rainforest?
That thing occupies a small half of the southern continent!
But Ashe Yuege clearly didn't care about this horrific workload. In other words, she had already regarded Jasmine's affairs as her own. She followed Gretel lightly, looking around and asking from time to time:
"Mr. Nordmark, when did you meet Ms. Jasmine? Where?"
"How old is she now? What career path is she taking? What level is she?"
"I have a husband... Fortunately, I don't have children yet. Otherwise, if the children were young, they would really not be able to leave..."
"Her husband's knee is injured... This is a bit troublesome. I'm not very good at treatment... Mr. Nordmark, do you have any experience with treatment?"
"Where do they live now?... There, I walked there. If I hurry, I will be there tomorrow..."
Ash Moonsong is a very interesting traveling companion. Gretel and his friends only dare to move along fixed roads, and even if they occasionally enter the jungle, they can only go a few dozen steps deep; and Ash Moonsong, the forest guard
, but at home in the woods like a fish in water:
After a while, I ran a few steps quickly, jumped up to a big tree, and picked a bag of fruits. I threw one to Grete, one to Cerela, and a bunch to Bernard and Appa:
"Come on, try it! This fruit is sour and sweet, and it tastes so good!"
After a while, he transformed into a black panther and ran into the forest. After a noise, he came out with a colorful pheasant in his mouth. Then he released the transformation, holding the pheasant tied by vines in one hand, and said proudly:
"That's what I'm going to eat tonight! Look, I've even found the eggs. When the time comes, I'll stuff them into the pheasant's belly and roast them. They'll be delicious and tender!"
After a while, he quickly rushed forward and stood in front of Appa:
"You can't drink the water here! There are a lot of leeches in this water!" He raised his face and listened hard. The long pointed ears turned into the round ears of a leopard at some point, and he turned slightly:
"There is a waterfall not far ahead! I will take you there to drink water! The water in the waterfall is clean!"
Not to mention, she knew almost every type of flowers and plants on the roadside, and she could tell a story about each one. She pointed and pointed along the way:
"Look, this is a blood-red trumpet. The ends of its flowers are green, the middle is yellow, and the tops of the petals are bright red. Does it look like a long trumpet? This flower contains the power of the sun. For a long time, the indigenous people on the edge of the fertile forest have been
Use it to worship the sun god..."
"This is the fairy leaf... Even though it looks inconspicuous, it has psychic powers... If you soak its dried leaves into water and drink it, you can see the spirit world!"
"This is……"
Those that are edible and those that are inedible; those that are delicious and those that are not; those that can be used to hold water, those that can be used to make ropes; those that attract poisonous insects, those that will actively attack people...
Ash Moonsong explained everything. There was no plant in the jungle that she didn't know, and there was no animal that she hadn't touched. That was all Gretel. Cerira listened with great interest, and followed Ash Moonsong from time to time.
Go into the woods. Then...
"Hey! Wait!"
There was a ruckus...
"Don't just bump into each other just because your defense is strong! Look, you're getting sprayed by the smelly liquid..."
It was not lonely to have this jungle master walking with them, chatting along the way. Grete and the others were walking on a road pioneered by the indigenous people, which was also fixed by the parliament into a commercial road. On the road, people walked towards them from time to time:
The natives carrying wooden spears, the merchants carrying packages, and the adventurers carrying swords. When they saw them, they all nodded respectfully and stepped aside to let them go first. Gretel nodded in return and smiled until the group of adventurers had finished.
, and then sighed softly:
"If a vaccine can be successfully developed, these people who come to the Eagle Country will have a greater chance of returning safely..."
"But if the vaccine is successfully developed, more people will disturb the tranquility of the jungle." Ash Yuege and Gretel stood side by side, with a hint of worry on their faces:
"Mr. Nordmark, have you ever thought about this? So many people break into the jungle and the damage to nature is very serious... Moreover, in order to make these vaccines, more killings will be caused..."
"With the population increasing, the jungle will always have to be developed. With the vaccine, we can prevent them from cutting down trees and burning the forest." Gretel responded calmly.
He sat on Appa's body and leisurely told the elf forest guard the causes and consequences of developing the vaccine:
The raid of the Glorious Holy See, the assistance of the Parliament, the large-scale blood sacrifice...the negotiations between the Parliament and the hawk god and snake god...
"Developing the jungle can allow the Eagle God and the Snake God to gain greater faith power, thereby preventing blood sacrifices and killings... Isn't this also a good thing?"
As he spoke, Grete looked at the endless green ahead with deep eyes. In order to develop the jungle, humans once drained the stagnant swamps, covered the stagnant water with oil to kill mosquito larvae, and dumped large amounts of ddt in the forest...
…
Aren’t these actions harmful to nature?
Relatively speaking, injecting everyone with yellow fever vaccine is still the gentlest method...
Ash Moonsong was speechless for a moment. Injury is not a good thing, nor is a large-scale blood sacrifice. It is the lesser of two evils, but she can't tell what is the best way...
At this moment, Grete turned to look at her again and asked seriously:
"As for the killings that occur in order to create vaccines... I may have a way to minimize them. Sister Yue Ge, can you help me?"
