Chapter 794
Hearing Moze: "Also, your cooking is a bit too spicy."
Hearing Moze: "It made me get a bit of internal heat."
Seeing Jiaoqiu: "......"
Seeing Jiaoqiu: "Moze, oh Moze, I really can't with you!"
The video continues.
【.... You mean, someone wants to, like what this machine represents, crack the secret of Hulei and apply what they learn?】
【I understand.】
【I've heard that the fox folk of Yaoqing share especially close bloodlines with the Lupine, and among them some fox descendants, like the Lupine, fall uncontrollably into a madness called Moon Rage.】
【The Marshal believes this matter bears the suspicion of the non-human, no different from the Lupine, so...】
After General Jing Yuan's prompting,
Miss Lingsha figured out the reason.
【You guessed right.】
【In the Lupine's view, Moon Rage is a blessing that liberates power.】
【But for the fox folk, it is a madness in the blood that must be avoided at all costs.】
【For generations, the physicians of Yaoqing have had people attempting to crack this puzzle, but they never found a way.】
【Why can the Lupine control Moon Rage? Can the fox folk break this curse?... There will always be people asking such questions.】
【Every questioner's original intention is full of goodwill.】
【But all the roads in this world that lead to disaster are paved by good intentions.】
【For the fox folk of Yaoqing, Hulei is not only the war-chief of the Lupine, but also a monster, the object of their research.】
【He became a deadly poison that corroded hearts without knowing it.】
Hu Tao: "So the fox folk of Yaoqing have always wanted to use Hulei to research a way to break the Moon Rage affliction?"
Hu Tao: "I think their thinking is understandable."
Dr. Ratio: "The thinking is naturally good, but the variables within it are very great."
Dr. Ratio: "The power of Abundance is a profound force that drives even certain professional scholars of the Boshixue Society into a痴迷-like obsession."
Dr. Ratio: "Those who study it too deeply and can still preserve their original intention in the end are few."
Silver Wolf: "Simply put, who wouldn't want to use the power of Abundance to live longer, or become even stronger?"
Silver Wolf: "That's just human nature!"
General Jing Yuan: "Precisely because human nature is hard to gauge, the Marshal wants to cut off the occurrence of this matter at the root."
General Jing Yuan: "Otherwise, if the physicians of Yaoqing were truly allowed to research, it might repeat the覆辙 of falling into the calamity of Abundance."
General Jing Yuan: "I think General Feixiao should also understand the Marshal's intention, right?"
General Feixiao: "Of course."
General Feixiao: "The Marshal's decision is correct."
General Feixiao: "There are people who, driven by obsession, are capable of doing anything."
General Feixiao: "As General Jing Yuan said, perhaps the starting point was善意 in the beginning."
General Feixiao: "But a starting point of goodwill can also bear evil fruit in the end."
March 7th: "Hmph hmph, a certain someone should be named here!"
March 7th: "That's right, that's Sunday!"
Sparkle: "Didn't I already say~"
Sparkle: "Chicken Wings Boy just wants everyone to have Sunday every day!"
Sparkle: "What fault does he have!"
Sunday: "Miss Fool, no need to tease me any further."
Sunday: "I already know that, for the people of the world, perhaps not everyone longs for a life where every day is Sunday."
Sunday: "Some answers are of diversity, unrelated to right or wrong, merely different choices."
Sunday: "Perhaps what I should do is create a good environment for the people of the world to choose fairly."
Stelle: "Goodness, your ideal is even harder to realize."
Stelle: "Might as well just craft a Taiyi Dream, simpler!"
Miss Qingque: "The question is, does this world truly have something called fairness?"
Miss Qingque: "What would fairness in an absolute sense even look like?"
Sunday: "This is the answer I need to seek once more..."
Sunday: "Although this answer, perhaps I may spend my whole life unable to find it."
Boothill: "Buddy, don't you feel tired living like that?"
Boothill: "Who says life must find some answer?"
Boothill: "An answer you can't find, then damn it just don't seek it!"
Boothill: "That too is an answer!"
Paimon: "If you can't find the answer, just don't look for it?"
Paimon: "Eh? Feels like Mr. Boothill makes a lot of sense!"
Paimon: "This way you can avoid a lot of troubles."
Lumine: "Uh... this is just giving up, right?"
The video continues.
【Therefore, the Marshal imprisoned Hulei in Luo Fu.】
"This is indeed not an honor, but... a warning."
Lingsha nodded,
the Marshal's intent already clear in her heart.
"Because once, for the very same selfish impulse, for a so-called act of kindness, a tragedy occurred on Luo Fu — one grave enough to serve as a warning to those who came after."
At this point, Jing Yuan continued to speak,
his expression turning somewhat wistful.
"The Drinking Moon Rebellion."
Lingsha knew exactly what Jing Yuan was referring to.
"..."
Hearing this term, Brother Dan Heng
fell somewhat silent.
Furina: "This Drinking Moon Rebellion... what on earth does it refer to?"
Furina: "Does it have something to do with Mr. Brother Dan Heng's past life, the Drinking Moon Lord?"
Malani: "I think it does."
Malani: "Maybe it was precisely because of this that Mr. Brother Dan Heng was exiled from Luo Fu?"
Stelle: "I have actually heard Brother Dan Heng tell me what happened."
Stelle: "But I'm afraid saying it would hurt Brother Dan Heng, so I'll leave it unsaid."
Hu Tao: "Mm, this must be a past Mr. Brother Dan Heng doesn't wish to recall. We'd better not ask."
Brother Dan Heng: "...."
Brother Dan Heng: "It's fine. Those matters, as far as I'm concerned, have long passed."
Brother Dan Heng: "The me of now is merely Brother Dan Heng of the Nameless, not the Dragon Lord Drinking Moon of a past life."
Stelle: "Uh... well, since Brother Dan Heng has already come to terms with it."
Stelle: "Let me briefly tell you all a few things."
Stelle: "This so-called Drinking Moon Rebellion is actually connected to the Five Chariots of the Clouds."
Stelle: "The Dragon Lord Drinking Moon was at the time one of the Five Chariots of the Clouds."
Stelle: "The other four — three of whom you are no strangers to — were precisely General Jing Yuan, the former Luo Fu Sword Champion Jingliu, and Blade, who was not yet a Stellaron Hunter."
Ying: "Miss Stelle, the way you put it... I think I can guess something..."
Ying: "That one person we're unfamiliar with — surely they didn't already sacrifice themselves?"
Stelle: "Sister, your guess is right on the mark."
Stelle: "The other one, a fox-eared young lady named Bai Heng, sacrificed herself in a great battle at the time."
