Chapter 257: Mermaids are not only love-minded, but also executioners (7)
"When these creatures choose to mate with humans, it means their population numbers are not optimistic."
"The existence of many tribes means that the situation is not particularly serious, and the inherited bloodline talent is weak."
"The small number of survivors in the tribe indicates that the tribe is facing a critical moment of life and death. Inheriting the top-level bloodline talent will help this newborn survive and better continue the tribe's bloodline."
"This speculation is recognized by the vast majority of humanity."
"Because this is why in interspecies situations, the human side can only be ordinary people without magical talent."
"After all, if there are no restrictions, it's hard to ensure that no human magicians will have any bad intentions."
"With this restriction, ordinary people are unable to threaten their tribe and can only serve as a tool to help their people continue their bloodline."
Having said this, the man paused.
Well, he's a tool too.
No, he and his wife are in love with each other, she is not a tool.
Shaking off the strange thoughts in his mind, the man continued speaking.
"Perhaps they are worried that their own people will frequently choose to marry humans in order to have children with high talents, which will lead to confusion in the bloodline and tribe."
"So these are things that no highly intelligent race has ever understood."
"The reason we humans have been able to pass these stories down is because our tribe enjoys writing books and recording them. Furthermore, this is also an opportunity for ordinary humans to defy fate and change their destiny."
"After all, if you can successfully combine with an alien, you will gain a magical partner, and one or even several children who are more talented than ordinary aliens."
"If this is applied to humans, people with magic skills would basically not choose to marry someone without magic skills, unless the non-magic person's family has a lot of money and status."
Bu Shi'an nodded, indicating that he understood.
This is consistent with why the mermaids know nothing.
The person behind this probably wants a child like this who inherits the top bloodline talent of the mermaid ancestors.
Speaking of which, what is the top bloodline talent of the mermaid ancestors?
It was not mentioned in the original owner's memory.
When no one is around, take a look at the books and materials the original owner had.
As for now.
She looked at the child who was sitting quietly with the crystal ball and asked the last question.
"Is the probability of conceiving offspring high with such an interspecies union? Is there a chance that no offspring will be conceived?"
The man flatly refused.
"It's impossible that they can't have children. A couple that gets married like this is guaranteed to have children."
"I can't say it's always a success, but at least without taking any precautions, it's easy to have two children in three years."
“I even heard about it.”
"There has been a previous case of a human and a highly intelligent being mating together, and before that, human doctors diagnosed the individual as infertile."
"In the end, she married a member of the vampire clan and gave birth to a daughter the following year."
"According to previous interpretations, there are rumors that the ancestors of these highly intelligent creatures wanted to ensure the continuation of their bloodline."
"Not only does it open up the inheritance of bloodline talents, it also ensures that in this situation, the tribesmen can improve the physical constitution of the human partner through harmonious intercourse, increasing the probability of such couples giving birth to offspring."
"Of course, these are just rumors. All previous speculations were guesses made by human magicians. Just listen to them."
"But among the people I know, it's really easy to have a child by mating with a highly intelligent being."
"I guess there's no such thing as a couple being unable to have children."
Bu Shi'an was thoughtful and had a bold guess in his mind.
As for verifying her guess, it is also very simple. She just needs to go to the central city of the kingdom where the male protagonist is and meet the male and female protagonists.
Before that, she tried to get more information from the family of three who came to her door.
Wait until you find out everything you want to know.
Later, she just needed to pay attention to the existence of highly intelligent creatures in the towns along the way.
There is no need for a slow and thorough search, nor is there any need to seek opportunities to gather information from these people and animals.
After all, there are too many populations of highly intelligent creatures, and not all of them are simple.
In addition, humans are quite cunning, and it may not be easy to meet someone like the one in front of you who is clever but honest.
In order to reduce trouble, just catch this family and ask them.
Anyway, they delivered it themselves, so at most you can give them some inquiry fee before leaving.
Thinking of this, Bu Shian began to change the subject.
"You said before that your family moved here not long ago. Is it because it is in the territory of the Spirit Deer Clan?"
Before the man could say anything, the woman on the other side immediately pushed him away and took the initiative to speak.
"How is that possible? My people will not allow humans to stay in their territory for a long time."
"In fact, the reason they agreed to let us be together was because a member of the neighboring Snow Rabbit tribe found a human."
"For groups like ours that live in the same area, the elders love to compare with each other. If another group has something, our group will also fight for it."
"This kid is a complete gambler. Otherwise, if he wants to marry me, he will probably be thrown out."
Bu Shian nodded.
"So something big happened in human society that forced you to move?"
After hearing Bu Shian say this, the woman immediately started to accuse.
"That's right, it's because of something that happened in human society."
"I wonder what the royal families of those countries think."
"Several neighboring, competing countries issued a notice a few months ago."
"They say that non-human creatures like us, possessing advanced intelligence, are unable to communicate with normal humans without distinction, and misunderstandings and conflicts often arise due to inability to express one's thoughts."
"They also said that we are not human after all, and they are afraid that high-level magicians with bad intentions will target us."
"And we are scattered across various towns in human society, so it would be too costly for them to protect us."
"After comprehensive consideration, several countries put aside their differences and sat down together to finalize the new policy."
"We'll establish protected areas in inland towns near several countries, and let us move there with the human partners we find and the children we give birth to."
"They also say, in a high-sounding way, that there aren't that many differences between people when they get together, and that communication is easier and conflicts are reduced."
"It also makes it easier for them to record and deploy personnel for protection in a timely manner when danger arises."
As she said this, she took out a plate of something that looked like melon seeds and started eating it.
While eating, she also complained.
"If you ask me, there's something wrong with them. They're still worried about us getting hurt."
"We are creatures born with an affinity for the elements. Compared to humans who have to wait until they are 18 to learn magic, we can be said to be blessed with a natural advantage."
"Although most of our people have become accustomed to mastering magic and have become lazy in their training, our potential is higher than that of humans. As long as we are not suddenly surrounded by multiple people, there is no way anything will go wrong."
"The royal families of several countries also have nothing to do."
"They don't worry about the livelihoods of ordinary people in their own country, nor do they think about how to win the competition for resources between countries."
"I was just thinking about how to accommodate an interracial couple like us."
"nerve."
