"You mean..." Regnar's voice trembled: "My boss has now turned into a werewolf?"

"Strictly speaking, he is not a werewolf." Elon shook his head: "The Sinking of the Moon only allows your companions to inherit the tenacious vitality and full moon rage of the werewolf, but it cannot allow humans to possess the terrifying physical qualities of the werewolf. .

And this is also a very critical point: the werewolf itself has a strong recovery ability, and this recovery ability is supported by the werewolf's extremely strong physical fitness. When a werewolf is injured, the wound will quickly regenerate new body tissue to repair the wound.

But the problem is that it is impossible for any living thing to achieve unlimited body tissue regeneration. Each regeneration consumes vitality, and to put it more bluntly, it shortens lifespan.

The werewolf has an extremely huge life potential, so he can continuously recover from wounds at an extremely fast speed, and the impact on his lifespan is not very serious. But humans can't do that. Your companion inherits the powerful regeneration ability of the werewolf, but does not have the terrifying physical fitness of the werewolf as the basis.

The man's body was constantly injured and recovered during the battle. The large amount of body regeneration in a short period of time had nearly exhausted his life potential. This is also the reason why he can't rely on the werewolf's recovery ability to heal himself after the battle - he has almost no life potential left. "

"So, what you mean is... my boss's life potential has been exhausted and he is about to die?" Elon's explanation made Regnar feel confused. He had neither the time nor the mood to understand Elon word for word. explanation, but asked the most critical question.

"If we treat him now, he will not die immediately. He is a very strong person and originally had a huge life potential. Although the loss of a large amount of life potential will not kill him, it will not kill him. But it will also shorten his lifespan a lot. As for how short it will be, I have no way of knowing." Elon answered.

"Then please provide treatment! We will figure out what to do next, but saving his life is the most important thing now." Regnar perked up when he heard that Kordak could still be cured. As for Although Regnar has no solution to the problem of losing his life now, he feels that there will always be a turn for the better in the future.

Whether it means losing his life or becoming disabled in the future, it is always better than Kordak turning into a cold corpse immediately, right

"..." Elon was silent this time. He looked at the hopeful human being in front of him and couldn't bear to blow them, but in the end he reminded him: "Are you sure you want to save him? He is now a werewolf. A creature cursed by his blood, he... can't even be called a human being.

Maybe the people you save now will bite your necks off on a full moon night in the future. Based on my understanding of you humans, I think it is difficult for such dangerous creatures to be accepted by your society. Are you sure you want to save him? "

Regnar and Vera both fell silent after hearing this. Indeed, Kordak can no longer be called a human being, so what should we do in the future? Do you want to continue living with this guy who may turn into a bloodthirsty monster at any time? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well with such a creature, right? Even if we can accept him, what about others

If Kordak's identity was discovered, wouldn't someone look at him strangely? Wouldn't someone harm Kordak because of his potential threat? Can Kordak survive in such an environment? Or, will Kordak accept such a monster of himself? Would he himself be eager to continue living, even as such a somewhat deformed existence

Countless questions and concerns emerged in the hearts of the two of them. Faced with this situation, Regnar and the two didn't know what to do. Because what they are deciding is the life of their most important and closest companion. Should the tall and hearty man continue to live in another attitude, or should he retain his dignity as a human being and die with dignity

"I know this will be a difficult decision, so I will give you some time to think about it. I will wait for your answer at the door." Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Elon said nothing more and turned around and walked out. .

"Elder, the materials you requested have been prepared." Gerano had been waiting for Elon at the door.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Elon looked at Gerano who was hesitant to speak, smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them, kid."

"Please forgive me for being rude, but Gerano really doesn't understand why we need to help these humans with unknown origins? They are a greedy and cunning race. We elves are often plotted against them. They even We are sold as slaves. Faced with such a race, why should we show our enthusiasm and friendliness? Maybe this will be a wrong choice." Gerano asked, he didn't know much about humans. , but in the rumors about elves, humans always have mostly negative news, which makes him not very fond of humans.

Elon looked at Gerano, who was asking some reserved questions, and asked, "So, kid, since you think we shouldn't be so friendly to these humans, can you tell me why you brought these three humans back?"

"I... I just feel that if I were asked to watch three lives disappear in the forest, I wouldn't be able to do it." Gerano answered.

"That's it, kid, many things in this world are very complicated. There is no absolute right or wrong in them. There is no way for us to make the so-called correct decision. All we have to do is follow our own heart. Forget it, your kind nature allowed you to bring these three lives back to the tribe, and now, I think I should save these three humans, so I did it. We all just did what we thought we should do, It has nothing to do with right or wrong, and it has nothing to do with race.”

Elon thought for a while and then continued: "Furthermore, I think your views on human beings may be a bit extreme. Some of them are indeed insidious and cunning people, but they also have gentle and kind-hearted people with simple minds. Not only humans This is true. In fact, this is true for all races in the world. You must know that no race can represent its individual, and no individual can represent its race. Among the humans who are regarded as insidious and cunning, there will also be angels. There are pure and kind people, and among the elves who think they are kind and simple, there will also be cruel and cold-blooded guys like demons.”

Although Elder Elon is considered the most virtuous and knowledgeable elder in the Nightsong tribe, Gerano still disagrees with his last words. He has been living in the Elf tribe and has never seen any tribesmen. As "cruel and cruel as a devil".

"You don't believe it?" Elon smiled slightly: "Think about our close relatives underground. Thousands of years ago, they were no different from us."

"..." Gerano was speechless as he thought of the dark elves known for their bloodthirsty cruelty.

"Thank you, elder, for your advice. It's an honor for Gerano to gain your wisdom." Gerano saluted Elon and turned to leave.

"Sister Vera..." Regnar was the first to break the silence, and now, he also made his own choice.

"He is Kordak..." Vera said softly, looking at the man lying on the bed.

"Um?"

"He is Kordak." Vera said with certainty: "He has always been Kordak. I don't care about anything else. I don't care whether he is a human or a werewolf, or anything else, as long as he is Kordak." Erdak, as long as his heart and thoughts remain unchanged, that's enough."

"Xiao Lei." Vera continued: "Just listen to me this time, okay? Save him, no matter what he becomes, save him. He became like this because of me, no matter what, I can't let him He died like this. What happened seven years ago has made me unable to sleep peacefully. If I continue to escape this time, I think I will not be able to bear this kind of torture. So, no matter what, I have to save him, what can I do? Difficulties, whatever problems I have, I will face them together with him. I don’t want to run away anymore, and I won’t run away again. So, just listen to me this time, okay? Save him!"

Vera's tone was very firm. Although she used the word "discussion", Regnar could already tell that no one could change Vera's decision this time. In fact, Regner didn't think about changing at all.

"Sister Vera, you are not the only one facing the boss." Regnar said with a smile: "I will definitely stay between you as a light bulb. Don't think of throwing me down."

The door to the room was gently pushed open, and Regna and Vera walked out together. Both of their eyes were red. There was no doubt that they both cried when they made the decision.

"Did I guess wrong?" Elon thought to himself. He originally thought that Vera and Regnar would definitely choose to save Kordak, so he asked Gerano to prepare the materials for the secret technique. But looking at the expressions of the two people in front of me, it seems that they are about to say goodbye to that man in tears...

"We want to save him, please help us!" Vera and Regna bowed deeply at the same time.

"It seems that human emotions are really complicated..." Elon thought with a wry smile.
