Chapter 41: The Wolf Child
A wolf child is a human child who has been captured by wolves since childhood and raised by wolves. There are more than 10 known young children in the world to be fed by wolves, the most famous of which are two found in India. Wolf children and other young children who are raised by wild beasts are also referred to as wild children.
When the wolf child is first discovered, it has the same habits as a wolf: it walks on all fours; Sleep during the day and go out at night, afraid of fire, light and water; I only know that when I am hungry, I look for something to eat, and when I am full, I sleep; Eat meat instead of vegetarian food (do not hold it in your hands, put it on the ground and tear it open with your teeth); He can't speak, and howls like a wolf after midnight.
If a wolf child is not born with a birth defect, this example illustrates that human knowledge and talent are not innate, nor are they born instincts to walk upright and speak. All of these are the product of acquired social practice and labor. The age from birth to the time before elementary school is extremely important for the physical and mental development of a person. Because at this stage, the development of the human brain has different age characteristics, and there may be a critical period in the development of speech (the articulatory system gradually forms a relatively stable neural pathway, which is very difficult to change again in the future). Missing this critical period will bring irreparable damage to people's psychological development. Therefore, young children who have been detached from the human social environment for a long time will not have the brain functions that humans have, nor will they be able to produce abstract thinking and human consciousness associated with language. This does not occur when an adult is for some reason absent from human society for a long period of time and then returns. This proves the decisive role of the human social environment in the physical and mental development of infants and young children from both positive and negative aspects.
In addition, children raised by bears, leopards, monkeys and sheep have been found. Like wolf children, they have the habits of the beasts that have tended them.

"Brian, come here!"
When the White Bone Tyrant broke into the Joint Scientific Research Center with a baby in his arms, a necromantic scholar dressed in a purple robe stepped forward: "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry, I just consolidated the information and roughly knew what the situation was with His Royal Highness." ”
"Speak quickly!"
"If a baby is raised by a wild animal, it will develop the habits of a wild animal; In the same way, His Royal Highness has developed the habits of our necromantic creatures, which is why he grows very slowly. Brian stretched out his hand, carefully examined Anigil's head, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness's soul wavelength is very vigorous." ”
"Annie Gill resembles a 'wolf child'? No, even a wolf child will follow the law of time and grow up day by day, but in five years, Annie Gill has not grown up! ”
"The difference between the children raised by the necromantic creatures and the children raised by the living creatures must not be measured by the same principle. Take the wolf child as an example, can humans eat only raw meat and nothing else? But the wolf child can! If you think about it, the body of a necromantic creature is made up of corpse cells, so it doesn't continue to grow and age, right? His Royal Highness is the same, he subconsciously thinks that he is also a necromantic creature, so his physiological structure also tends to be a necromantic creature, so that his body cannot continue to grow. Brian waved his hand again and said decisively: "Don't worry, listen to me first." What has always been the source of nutrition for His Royal Highness? ”
"It's a 'soul potion.'"
"The 'Soul Potion' can only replenish soul power, but cannot give the necessary nutrients to His Royal Highness! is not well nourished, and he can't grow up, so the time of His Royal Highness is frozen. If Ms. Wumu was still there before, she could breastfeed and provide sufficient nutrition for His Royal Highness, and maybe he could continue to grow. ”
Qingyi's head is big. When the country was founded, the supplies were limited and he couldn't find milk, so he kept feeding Anniegill with a "soul potion" (he was reluctant to order it from Schroeder Bray), and found that Annigir could live well, so he kept making mistakes and making mistakes, but he didn't expect that Anniegill would be stunted. Thinking of this, Qingyi asked again: "What about the 'embryonic body tissue fluid'?" This stuff is nutritious, right? ”
Embryoid body tissue fluid: Using the principle that "cadaveric cells can differentiate into tissues and organs", all wounds can be healed. Restores 20% of your stamina (soul points) and removes negative physical statuses. It can be taken or used externally (only for living creatures and necromantic creatures).
"No, Your Majesty!" Brian's tone was categorical: "Now His Royal Highness's body is still a human body, but he hypnotizes himself, thinking that he is a necromantic creature; Once he drinks the 'Embryonic Body Tissue Fluid', his body will gradually transform into a necromantic creature! Don't take chances and think that the 'embryo body tissue fluid' can be used by living beings, so it is suitable for Your Highness! Other creatures will be fine if they drink it, but His Highness will definitely transform into a necromantic creature! ”
"What the hell! What can I do? ”
Brian thought for a moment, "Or, maintain the status quo?" If there are no accidents, His Royal Highness can live in baby form forever. ”
"How is that possible! He's a kid, and there's a lot to see! I disagree! Qingyi was furious.
"Then I can only ask the generals and Defu to take a look. They are well-informed, and maybe they will find a way. ”
So, the two teachers quickly arrived, but they were well-informed, and they were helpless for a while: who had ever seen a necromantic creature raise a human child!
"You kill him, and then let him light a soul fire and become a necromantic creature. People can't turn into wolves, but how hard can it be to turn into necromantic creatures? Teacher Dever said.
"This kid has good bones, it's very suitable for snatching away, and he can also refine demon babies." Teacher Jiang Chen said.
"Go, go, go!" Qingyi is angry and doesn't fight in one place. He looked at Annikil worriedly and said, "This child has the right to live, and I can't force him to become a necromantic creature." ”
The general snorted: "Anyway, he has not opened his mind, so you can treat him as a piece of meat." ”
"Meat? He's a life, too! Anyway, Brian, you're going to find a way to get him back to growing and keep him human. Qingyi said solemnly.
(Xue Duo said in a low voice: "It's obviously just a necromantic creature, you are a fart of human nature.") ”)
Next, Brian and Qingyi talked about the next urban planning, and the topic involved Skyweb spiders and the sea of bones, but Qingyi obviously couldn't concentrate. For some reason, he always had a close eye on Anigil.

Corpse Wetland, Doludivis.
Smoke rose from the camp of the creatures, presumably to make dinner. After putting down the binoculars, Skaul's eyes were blazing with blue fire, and black smoke was coming out of his skull, like two small beacons.
All this time, the bald eagle has been fighting us almost sleeplessly. But there is a limit to human physical energy, it is impossible for him to be online all the time, and there must be a vacuum in his command! Defending flawlessly even when you're not online? No way! It must have been him who laid out the strategy in advance and let the army under his command respond to various situations!
But...... I just can't find where the vacuum period is.
After many days of fierce fighting, Skoll wanted to give up, and suddenly news came from the front - Frankie had invaded a city! This shows that Bald Eagle's coping strategy has failed, and it also shows that Bald Eagle is not online, otherwise he can completely save the scene! But despite his excitement, Scowl remained awake: it was probably a deception.
Bald Eagle deliberately used the defeat of a battle to tell Skaul: "I can't command the army right now." In order to make the scam more realistic, he even arranged two fake free first class cabins - could it be that he expected Frankie to see through the scam and take the city?! So, is Bald Eagle online or not?
"It's not fair to always let you be the dealer." Skoll snapped his fingers, and the soul wavelength spread out, allowing all the mid- and low-level commanders to hear clearly: "Five minutes later, attack!" ”

A port in Astendt.
It's late at night, but the port is still popular as one of the two main starting points for the Savage Realm (the other two were destroyed by undead creatures). A glittering sailboat slowly docks at the shouts of sailors, like a sea turtle. The old captain stood by the rope ladder, took off his hat, and sent his best wishes to every passenger on this flight, and hoped that they would also take his ship next time.
Many prostitutes dressed up in beautiful clothes waited at the docks, waiting for a familiar face; The evening breeze was cold, but they shrunk their shoulders at most, and stubbornly continued to wait. None of them knew whether their old friends were safe or had been buried in the belly of the fish. When the ruthless sailors ran over and hugged them, they would scream dramatically and send intense, cheap lipstick kisses.
In the farewell and reunion, the dock always has joy and sorrow, laughter and tears at the same time.
A white-robed sacrifice was the last to disembark. He said goodbye to the captain and prayed for it, much to the captain's excitement - what an honor it was to be blessed by a senior clergyman! Seeing the priest coming, the prostitutes all stepped back to make way for them. They looked curiously at the sacrifice and whispered. The priest didn't care, just smiled at them, walked through them generously, and then left. He breathed in two seconds, two seconds.
The priest was about twenty-five years old, tall and thin, with a pointed chin; His eyes were distinctive, without any hostility, without any edges, without any edges, like the eyes of a lamb; His hands were white, and he could clearly see the veins of the veins; Although his robe is white, the style and fabric are completely different from those of the clergy of the same level, not only is the decoration more exquisite, but the cloth also has heavy overlapping golden dark lines, which is only a little ordinary from a distance, but up close can make people completely indulge in the blurred lines. He wore a ruby cross on his chest, a short silver wand tied to his belt, and in his left hand he held an old canon that was very well preserved. In short, this is a man who can win the Nobel Peace Prize just by his appearance.
"Orquila...... If only I had come back sooner. He sighed softly, a little sad.
