Undeniably, Luo Xue's remarks were shocking. At least after Du Wei heard it, even though he was also a human being, he secretly shook his heart.
No matter how reluctant he was emotionally, no matter how resistant he felt, his rationality told himself: Luo Xue's words, at least objectively, were correct.
Isn't the history of mankind a process of killing among the same kind
Whether it's this world, or even the world of Du Wei's previous life, it's all the same in ancient and modern China and abroad!
As a foreign race, the Elf King hit the weakness of human nature with such a knife, and criticized him so much. Although Du Wei felt helpless, he was dissatisfied after all.
Looking at Du Wei's expression, the Elf King knew that he had achieved his goal. This young human opponent really felt very uncomfortable. He was right, but he was powerless to refute.
But just when Du Wei was speechless, at this very moment, Miss Nicole next to her...
Queen Medusa, who had her eyes closed, remained silent during the previous conversation. When Luo Xue narrated the legend from the ancient times, Miss Nicole's expression did not change at all.
Whether it is the demon race that once created a splendid civilization. Or the wars of those elves, dwarves, orcs, even talking about those ancient gods, never moved this beautiful snake.
On her beautiful face, she always maintained an indifferent expression, as if she was indifferent to everything.
However, when Luoxue talked about the myths that are very common on that continent. The story of the beautiful girl who cheated the Demon King's weakness in order to kill him...
When it came to that, Miss Nicole's iceberg-like face seemed to show a little throbbing...
From the tip of her eyebrows, there seemed to be a hint of emotion, and there seemed to be a bit of sadness in it. Before he knew it, the beautiful snake sighed softly. Although the voice was very soft, it was a rare expression of emotional fluctuations by the beautiful snake.
But at this moment, when the elf king lashed out at the cruel nature of human beings, even the knowledgeable Du Wei had nothing to say. The beautiful snake unexpectedly made a sound!
"Hmph..."
It was just a light smile, the laughter seemed indifferent, but Luo Xue and Du Wei tasted a hint of ridicule and disdain from it.
Originally, this woman was as indifferent as a rock all year round. It is extremely rare to be able to show a little mood swing. It is even more anecdotal that he still laughed out loud today.
What's more, the disdain in her laughter is even more obvious.
"Oh, it seems that Queen Medusa has some objections to my remarks?" The Elf King frowned first, and then looked at Miss Nicole calmly: "In your opinion, the human nature I mentioned is not Like this?"
"No, I think you're right." Although Miss Nicole's voice was not loud. But it is very clear. subsequently. The beautiful snake turned to Du Wei, she faced Du Wei with her eyes closed, and said softly: "Du Wei, you have taught me a lot since you came to the human world for so long... I remember your first What you taught me once was about human duplicity and hypocrisy. It can be said that you have taught me a lot about the inferiority of human nature. I also firmly remember what you said. .And... when you don't have time to accompany me, thank you for your little fiancée, the girl named Vivienne, who often comes to accompany me and tells me a lot about your human history. Although she talks My articulation is a little unclear, but fortunately, I have enough patience and time, and thanks to her, I have learned a lot... "
Finally, the beautiful snake nodded lightly: "Vivienne has read to me your human's "General History of the Continent" for a few days, so I think there is nothing wrong with what this elf said. Human beings are cruel, hypocritical, and cunning. It's all in nature…”
Luo Xue smiled, but Du Wei's expression was very helpless.
It's fine to be ridiculed by the Elf King, but Miss Nicole is obviously on her side, so she actually said so.
But Du Wei still couldn't argue.
Then, next, Miss Nicole's performance surprised both of them!
"But... Although these are all facts, I think... is there something wrong with this?" Nicole lowered her head, seemed to think for a while, and said word by word in a firm tone: "I don't think there is anything wrong with it."
Even, Ms. Nicole simply mocked the Elf King and said coldly: "At least, I think you elves, or dwarves, or any other race, are not qualified to use such derogatory remarks to evaluate human beings." .” For, why? Luoxue was stunned. The elf with enough grace was not angry because of being refuted, but quietly looked at Miss Nicole, waiting for the answer.
Nicole didn't answer directly, but asked Du Wei instead: "I remember when you were chatting with me, you said an example: a group of deer survived by eating leaves. As a result, the height of those trees was too high, and only those tall enough Only the deer can reach the leaves on the tree, and some short deer have to starve to death because they cannot reach the leaves on the tree... Du Wei, I clearly remember that when you mentioned this example, I seem to have said two words that impressed me very much, one is survival of the fittest and the other is... well, it seems to be evolution, right? Because of this result, the short and thin deer were starved to death, while the tall and strong deer survived , Generation after generation. After many years, only tall and strong deer are left in the deer population! Although this process of elimination is cruel, the result is that the quality of the deer population has improved... Du Wei, I remember that’s what you said at the beginning. Right? In the same way, on the grassland, only the antelopes that run fast can survive, because the ones that run full are caught and eaten by lions.”
Luo Xue's face showed a trace of solemnity: "But, what does this have to do with the killing of the same kind of human beings?"
"It's related, and it's very important, and... elves, this is the tragedy of other races!" Miss Nicole's voice was calm. Then, with a strange smile, she slowly asked a new question: "Mr. Luoxue, you said that you read the history of mankind. You said that the history of mankind is killing each other... But, didn't you find a very important Is it the prerequisite? The premise of human cannibalism you said is: other races have been conquered or extinct by humans!"
Miss Nicole said in an unquestionable tone: "Survival of the fittest! Survival of the fittest forever! This law will always exist and will continue to exist. Your so-called human cruelty... is just because humans killed your race and killed other people. The race conquered other races... But this kind of conquest itself is the survival of the fittest! Other races are not as good as humans, and all of them are defeated by humans. They have land and can only disappear in history... It seems that they are not tall enough to eat The deer starved to death by the leaves. And the antelopes who couldn't run fast enough and were preyed upon by lions! They perished. No one else to blame, only themselves to be blamed for being too weak, so they were eliminated!"
"This is a process. Humans, orcs, elves, and other races. At least before this, everyone is on the same starting line!
Mr. Luoxue!
You accuse human beings of being cunning and stealing the civilization of the demons, so why don't you blame yourself for being too conservative and not enterprising
You accuse human beings of treachery, violating the agreement and attacking former allies, so why don't you blame yourselves for being too naive
You accuse humans of being cruel... so why don't you accuse yourselves of being too indecisive
No matter what the process is, but the result of the fact is that human beings are the winner, while you are the fittest! At this time, instead of complaining about humans in a sour tone, it is better to reflect on the shortcomings of your own race! "
Du Wei never thought that Miss Nicole, who had been silent all this time... could actually say such a sharp remark, not to mention that this beautiful snake is not human! !
Luoxue fell silent.
The Elf King's expression gradually became serious. He thought carefully about the words of the beautiful snake. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "Medusa, I admit that there may be some truth in what you said. But... what I said about human beings? Is it wrong to kill each other? The killing of the same kind is the worst among humans!"
"But this also has a premise." Nicole replied calmly: "Humans only started to kill each other on a large scale after conquering all other rival races in existence. It is also a process of survival of the fittest. It is like Our hair... some withered, yellow and unhealthy hair will fall off, and then new and shiny hair will grow. When the external threat is gone, and there is no competition from the outside, then human beings can only maintain it through internal competition. This law continues! Because if there is no competition, any group or race will face the only result: degeneration!"
After Nicole finished speaking, she said to Du Wei, "Is that so? Am I right, Du Wei?"
Du Wei also immediately grasped Nicole's meaning at this moment, and nodded deeply, and the eyes he looked at the beautiful snake also unconsciously brought a bit of dignity and seriousness. Because you foreign enemies have been eliminated, and we humans have no opponents, so we can only compete internally... This is probably what Nicole meant.
Because you were eliminated early on... This kind of meaning is really hurtful for the elves and other races.
Du Wei quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said with a smile, "Mr. Luoxue, what do you think?"
Luoxue was silent. It can be seen that this strong and wise man of the elves is thinking carefully about Miss Nicole's words.
For a long time, Luo Xue didn't say a single word.
"You're right, we human beings have been killing each other." Du Wei sighed, but then his tone changed, and he said solemnly: "After you are expelled, human beings have no opponents on the mainland! But the law of competition will continue! That's why human beings kill each other, Mr. Luoxue. Looking at human history, it is nothing more than a powerful country destroying a weak one. A stronger country annexes a weaker one... But the result is , the weak are eliminated, and the strong stay! This is a process of self-constant metabolism!"
Luoxue shook her head: "I still feel that if they were elves or other races, there would be no such large-scale cannibalism." Du Wei smiled.
He really smiled this time.
Soon, his eyes became sharper, and he replied coldly.
"You said you races didn't kill each other? Maybe that's the case... But, that's because you have never become the masters of this continent!! If you become the masters of the continent, the only race on this continent, Maybe you can kill each other more intensely than humans!" Du Wei sneered and said, "Mr. Luoxue, it's a pity that you were already eliminated one step ahead! If you want to evaluate the inferiority of human beings... you must first defeat human beings and stand in front of you." Let’s talk about these boring evaluations after being the ruler of this world!”
Luoxue was not angry, the elf king smiled instead after being silent for a while.
His smile was very sincere, and there was no intention of hiding it at all. Although there was a little disappointment in his eyes, there was more of a flash of light.
"Very good." Luo Xue actually stood up, and slightly bowed to Du Wei and Miss Nicole: "Thank you two for teaching me such a vivid lesson! Please accept my sincere thanks! If it wasn't for today's Wonderful remarks, I’m afraid I’m still obsessed with narrow-mindedness! Duke Tulip, you’re right, losers are not qualified to judge winners! Today’s words, I will definitely taste them carefully! Looking at the words of the Elf King Looking at the eyes, Du Wei suddenly felt a trace of regret in his heart.
I... Maybe I shouldn't have said these words! I am afraid that these words will "wake up" our enemies!
Concealing the regret in his heart, Du Wei immediately jumped off the topic and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Luoxue, let us forget about the topic of human beings. The story you just said is not finished yet! After eliminating the demons, What happened?"
