"How many times do you want to surprise me before you give up
I just did it unintentionally at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to grow so fast.
I really underestimated you."
Mindarak was extremely unwilling.
"How much do you know? What else do you not understand?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Yang Yu replied, "I didn't know everything at the beginning.
As this war progresses, I am constantly adjusting my perceptions and assumptions.
Unfortunately, as soon as I understand one thing, something else pops up that I don't understand.
It took a long time to gradually figure it out and understand it.
Fortunately, there were many opportunities and I also obtained a lot of key information, which allowed me to gradually figure out everything and lay out my plan.
But, to this day, there is still one thing I cannot figure out.”
"What's the matter?" Mindarak was unusually interested.
"It is clear that modern humans are also considered sub-humans. Why do you exclude them from racial integration?"
In fact, Yang Yu was not sure whether Mindarak had the intention to do so, and this sentence was purely a test.
Yang Yu didn't expect that this test would actually lead to him discovering a big secret.
Mindarak sighed deeply, "Have you understood this far? What do you think about the fact that you humans are sub-humans?"
Yang Yu said: "What else can I think
I was surprised at first, but then I thought it was extremely reasonable.
Who can tell the truth about the spread of blood
If we trace back three hundred generations, maybe my ancestor was an emperor.
It was easy to accept.”
"If everyone could agree with this conclusion as easily as you do, perhaps such things would not have happened in the past." The haze in Mindarak's eyes lingered, and he continued: "I once talked to you about the Dark Ages. Do you know about that dusty history?"
Yang Yu crossed his arms and said, "That happened more than three hundred years ago. From your tone, it seems that humans have tampered with history. In this case, I'm afraid only immortals like you know the truth. It's understandable that I don't know."
Mindarak said helplessly: "That's true, you humans always come and go in these long years, and there are very few people who want to explore the real truth.
Always... do whatever is beneficial to you.
Well, let me tell you the reasons behind the persecution of various sub-humans more than 300 years ago.
How ridiculous and unfunny that is.”
Straightening himself, Yang Yu said, "Then I'll listen attentively."
Mindarak did not hesitate to reveal the history that made him sad:
“More than three hundred years ago, there was a country called Chunlan, a country where humans and orcs lived in peace.
They had a kind king, and the kind king had a queen.
They loved each other and ruled the country together.
However, the queen was extremely unfaithful and had an affair with an orc man, giving birth to a half-orc baby girl.
The king was furious and vowed to kill all the orcs. Since then, humans have begun to expel and persecute subhumans on a large scale. "
Yang Yu's face was full of question marks: "Because he was cheated on, he took his anger out on the entire race. Isn't this too magical?"
Mingdarak stared at Yang Yu and said, “I’ve said before that the truth of history is often more absurd than it seems.
Similar absurd histories have been played out countless times in human history.
Allies who once fought against darkness together may become enemies the next moment.
I have lived for nearly a thousand years, and the first few hundred years were spent in ignorance and leisure.
But in the hundreds of years since I left the Elf Forest, I have witnessed absurd things happening one after another."
Yang Yu made a pause gesture and asked, "Wait a minute, did the king have a grudge against the orcs before, and being cheated on was just a flashpoint?"
Mindarak answered categorically: “Not really.
It was because the king believed that the queen had an affair with an unknown orc that the war broke out in which humans drove out the demi-humans on a large scale.
To be honest, there are still further breaking points.
After the queen gave birth to a half-orc baby girl, she insisted that she had no affair with the orcs and that the child was really hers and the king's.
If the queen pointed out the orc she was having an affair with, the king would kill the orc and the baby girl, and then perhaps he would feel relieved and fall in love with the queen again.
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism.
But there is no if.”
The queen gave birth to a half-orc child but insisted that it was hers and the king's.
Halfway through his thought, Yang Yu suddenly realized an even more absurd development, and he said:
"Is that child really the child of the king and queen?"
Mindarak clapped his hands, each one was extremely heavy, without any joy, and said frankly:
“As expected of you.
That’s right, the real history is that the king and queen, who were humans, gave birth to a half-orc girl. The king mistakenly believed that the queen had an affair with an orc, and mistook his own daughter for the queen’s child with someone else, so he launched a war to expel the demi-humans.
We united to uncover the truth and prove the queen's innocence, which completely stopped that stupid war and established the Wansheng Kingdom at the western end of the continent.
When seeing a half-orc baby girl, ninety-nine out of ten people would immediately conclude that the queen had an affair with an orc.
Even the king who has always loved her is no exception.
The collapse of trust often happens in an instant.
The king and queen both have a certain amount of orc blood, but their appearance is human. For some reason, their offspring have stronger orc blood and become half-orcs.
Mixed-race people of different races have different characteristics. If mixed-race people and single-race people continue to give birth to offspring, after many generations, the mixed-race characteristics will completely disappear.
However, the first generation of human hybrids called half-xx and humans may give birth to offspring with completely human appearance.
If two half-orcs and humans mate, the offspring may be an orc, a human, or a half-orc.
It's incredible.
When a couple from Chunlan fled, they found us and when we saw their seven children, we were inspired to seek confirmation of the possibility that no one had ever thought of.
We dug out the family tree of both sides, traced their origins step by step, and finally unearthed countless pieces of information.
I still can't forget the expression on that foolish king's face when he found out that he was born to an orc's concubine.
Confused, unbelievable, and mostly regretful. "
As he spoke, Mindarak covered half of his face with his hands and couldn't stop laughing.
Yang Yu looked at all this without saying a word, the famous pea hybridization experiment flashed through his mind.
The real hybrids in this world must be much more complicated than what is described in textbooks.
Yang Yu didn't know how much effort Mindarak and his team had put into proving this fact in this world where scientific knowledge was scarce.
However, it was not difficult for Yang Yu to imagine what a severe blow Mindarak, various sub-humans and humans suffered after learning this absurd truth.
No wonder this ridiculous piece of history disappeared quietly from the records.
