Chapter 542: Liv's Chicken Soup for the Soul
"Lady Tina is right!" Lang Wu looked at the "crow" on Jia Zhengjin's shoulder, stood up and said with a smile, "Legend has it that the god of luck, Vati, has a sacred bird, and the divine bird must appear before every come, symbolizing good luck!"
"This is a dark demonic beast, and it has nothing to do with any divine bird!" Jia Zhengjin frowned as he looked at the "crow" standing on his left shoulder.
"That's a blackbird too!" Aron stepped up, "It has been recorded in history that the human hero Albis stumbled upon a pure black demonized giant eagle when he was on a quest for monsters. The Demonized Giant Eagle is a rather evil creature, but it brought great luck to Albis at the time! After encountering the Demonized Giant Eagle, Albis accidentally obtained the ancient artifact Thunder Blade. It was precisely because of this good fortune that he successfully killed a demon venerable and eventually became a well-known human hero!"
"Lord Keane, this is indeed a symbol of luck!"
"Congratulations, Lord Keane!"
The envoys of the four countries congratulated Jia Zhengjin one after another, staring enviously at the "crow" on his shoulder.
Not only them, but even Jia Zhengjin's three wives were all smiling, looking the same as the real thing.
Could it be that what they said is true? Jia Zhengjin was slightly stunned, but when he turned his head to look at the "crow" that was close at hand, his mind was filled with the ugly and disgusting appearance he had just now, and he felt sick to his stomach.
"Ga~" The "crow" standing on his shoulder opened his mouth and let out an inaudible cry, flapping his wings as if he was happy.
"But I really haven't seen a bird in this form!" Lang Wu approached, staring at the "crow" curiously and said, "Do you know what kind of monster this is?"
Questioned, Duffy, Ivan and Alonzi shook their heads, saying they didn't know anything about it.
Tina and the others also tried to think, but no one knew.
As for Wolf and Liv, not to mention, no one in the scene could name the ugly bird.
"Whatever it is!" Jia Zhengjin was very unhappy in his heart, even if others said that this "crow" was a symbol of luck, he felt uncomfortable as long as he thought of the disgusting hairless strange bird just now, "Who told me how to get rid of it?" Liv, can you do me a favor?"
"Master Keane," Liv smiled and shook her head, "this kid clearly likes you! whatever it is, at least it doesn't do you any harm. ”
"Yes, Keane!" Tina nodded and said, "You see it's at least a little better now, its black fur is still shiny, and it looks majestic! And it seems to be very powerful, it is definitely a cub of a high-level demonic beast, otherwise how could it be that even Wolf can't catch it? Aren't we here this time to hunt high-level demonic beasts? Why don't we bring it back and ask someone who knows a lot about it." Besides, it can also bring good luck, so it's definitely good to keep it!"
I've never heard that crows can bring good luck! Jia Zhengjin said in his heart, thinking that you are not the parties involved, so you can speak lightly. If you're the one who gets entangled, can you still laugh at the disgusting strange bird like you do now?
But if Liv didn't make a move, it seemed that there was no way to take this "crow"! Except for her, Wolf was the strongest. But Wolf couldn't catch the crow and was played around by it, and the others were even more helpless!
"Go, go!" Jia Zhengjin couldn't bear the "crow" standing on his shoulder, so no matter what others said, he still chose to wave his hand away.
But instead of leaving, the "crow" jumped directly to his waving right wrist, and even tilted his head and rubbed it lightly with the cold beak.
"Look! It really likes you. Liv said with a smile.
"Aren't you all in the same way?" Jia Zhengjin was a little angry, "Why can you still talk and joke like this?"
"Master Keane," Liv replied with a shrug, "I'm uncomfortable with the dark forces, but it's just instinctive repulsion. The dark does not mean evil, and the child should be a newborn fledgling, as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Whether or not it goes to the evil side in the future depends on your guidance. ”
"This child, this child, can you always treat it like a human being?" Jia Zhengjin resisted, "It's just an ugly bird!"
"That's not right," Liv retorted, shaking her head, "All beings are created equal. ”
"All beings are equal?" Jia Zhengjin snorted lightly, "If all beings are equal, do you still eat those barbecued meats and fish? Shouldn't they be the same as human beings in your eyes? Why should they be treated as food? Can you eat those fruits and vegetables? Plants are also alive, why don't you say that all beings are equal at this time?"
"Of course they are equal to humans in my eyes!" Liv said with a nonchalant smile, "We humans gather and hunt these plants and creatures, don't they also hunt humans and other races? Nature has its own unique laws, and all living groups live according to these laws." We humans have the right and need to hunt other creatures, and other creatures also have the need to hunt us humans. There are countless human beings in the world who are hunted by all kinds of fierce beasts and demonic beasts every day, and there are also countless wild beasts and demonic beasts hunted by humans, and this in itself is a kind of natural balance! The reason why human beings now feel that they are superior to other creatures is actually a kind of arrogance. Think about it, do we humans feel small in front of the gods, and do the gods see us as beings like beasts and monsters?"
Not only Jia Zhengjin, but the others around him, except for Wolf, couldn't understand, and they all looked at Liv with a blank expression, obviously frightened by her arguments.
Although Jia Zhengjin vaguely felt that Liv's argument was wrong, he felt that he should oppose such an extreme argument. But I can't say what is wrong, and I don't know how to refute it. And when I look back on her words, I will feel that there is some truth in it.
"No!" he suddenly reacted after a while, "Aren't we going very far off topic?" Liv, let me ask you, can you get this ugly black bird out of my hands!"
"Ugliness and beauty are only illusions seen by the eye!" replied Liv with a smile, "The beauty you see is your subjective thoughts. Maybe in the eyes of other people or ethnic groups, it is ugly. On the other hand, if you can see ugliness, it is not necessarily ugly, and perhaps it is the most beautiful in the eyes of other people or ethnic groups! The beauty and ugliness that are entangled in appearance are unreasonable and superficial......"
"Can you stop pouring me chicken soup for the soul?" Jia Zhengjin said with a bitter face while driving away the "crow" standing in his hand in disgust, "I just want it to leave now!"
"Then why don't you try to have a serious conversation with it?" Liv laughed, "maybe this kid can relate to your feelings?"
