Chapter 1027 Kidnapping a Jungle Master?
Ashe Yuesong also breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that this fellow member had not taken the wrong path. When Grete asked her about it, she said cheerfully:
"...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. .”
He glanced at Gretel 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 includes a "willingness to help" commitment. What's even more rare is that he is willing to redeem, not just asking Grete to let him go in vain. Gretel 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, not one of them has died since they were sent to the research institute -"
After saying that, he walked towards the road. Ashe Yuesong quickly stopped her:
"As long as you're alive. Don't worry, 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 before? Can I help?"
"That's right, I met a half-elf lady here..."
Gretel spoke eloquently. Only then did Ashe Yuege know that the vaccine research and development had achieved initial results. Gretel was going to deliver the vaccine to Ms. Jasmine’s husband, and by the way, he would accompany Cerila to relax and play in the plains under 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 did I think it was?" 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 I know all the forest rangers!”
Gretel: "..."
He suddenly wanted to know how big a circle this "turn" was. Considering that this sister 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 Ash Moonsong obviously doesn't care about this horrific workload. In other words, she has regarded Jasmine's matter as her own. She followed Gretel lightly, looking left and right, 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 fun traveling companion. Grete and his party only dared to move along fixed roads, and even if they occasionally entered the jungle, they could only go a few dozen steps deep. However, Ash Moonsong, the forest guard, was at ease in the forest:
After a while, I ran a few steps quickly, jumped up to a big tree, and came back with a bag of fruits. Throw one to Gretel, 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, a colorful pheasant came out. Then he released the transformation, holding the pheasant tied up by the 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 the water!" He raised his face and listened hard. The long pointed ears turned into the round ears of a leopard at some point, and they 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 could tell a story about each one. Walk along the way, pointing 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 rich forest have 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……"
What is edible and what is inedible; what is delicious and what is not; what can be used to hold water, what can be used to weave ropes; what attracts poisonous insects, what will actively attack people...
Ash Moonsong told her everything, and there was no plant in the jungle that she didn't recognize, and there was no animal that she hadn't touched before. That's all Gretel, Cerela listened with interest, and followed Ash Moonsong into the woods from time to time. 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 quite not lonely to have this jungle master walking with us and chatting along the way. Grete and his companions were following a road pioneered by the indigenous people, which was then fixed by the parliament into a trade route. On the road, people walked towards them from time to time:
Natives carrying wooden spears, merchants carrying packages, and adventurers carrying swords. When they saw them, they all nodded respectfully, stepped aside, and let them go first. Grete nodded and smiled in return. It wasn't until the group of adventurers finished leaving that he 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." Grete responded calmly.
He sat on Appa and leisurely told the elf forest guard the causes and consequences of developing the vaccine:
The raid of the Holy See of Glory, the assistance of the Parliament, the large-scale blood sacrifice...the negotiations between the Parliament and the Eagle God and the 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 greenery ahead with deep eyes. In order to develop the jungle, humans once drained stagnant swamps, covered 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 naturally not a good thing, nor is large-scale blood sacrifice. It was the lesser of two evils, but she couldn't tell what was best for the moment...
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?"
