Chapter 645: Reason and emotion

That evening, Mrs. Anderson chatted again at the dining table, persuading Joan to slaughter the four little roosters.
After the experiment has been completed, the roosters are fed fat and strong, and cannot lay eggs. What is the use of keeping them?
It's better to kill meat.
Joan did not agree to kill the chicken yesterday, but today his thoughts have changed and silently nodded, agreeing to give the four little roosters to the landlord wife for cooking.
Early the next morning, the chicken coop was empty.
There are two big bowls of delicious stewed chicken soup on Joan and Holden's breakfast table.
Mrs. Anderson also said that there were two fatter left, which had been marinated with spices and left to roast for them at night.
Holden was very satisfied with the arrangement of the landlord's wife, drinking chicken broth and raving about it.
Joan did not drink chicken broth, arguing that his stomach was not good for the past two days and he could not eat greasy food.
From a rational point of view, in fact, Joan does not resent eating experimental animals that have lost their usefulness, especially domestic animals such as chickens and ducks, which were originally raised for human consumption, but not eating is a waste.
It's just that human emotion and reason always conflict.
He needs some time to adjust his mind and eliminate psychological obstacles until he can face the hot bowl of delicious chicken soup on the table with a calm mind.
Putting aside these messy feelings, judging from the experimental results alone, Joan invented the "Aphasia" well, which made him very gratified. These days the efforts have not been paid in vain.
Experiments prove that "Aphasia" is effective for animals like cocks, but it cannot be deduced from this. "Aphasia" is also effective for other species including humans. After all, the structure of vocal organs of different species is also different. "Surgery", Joan had to continue the live experiment.
This time, the target he chose was "humanoid."
...
On a night in early February, outside the city of Meadgard, a figure of a half-man and a half-eagle flew by the wind in the hazy moonlight, casting a slender black silhouette on the snow.
The eagle's figure gradually moved away from the prosperous port city behind him, flying southwest along the coastline, passing through the neat farmland, the magnificent manor houses, the criss-cross roads, and the scenery underneath became desolate, Replacing towns and manors is rolling hills and jungles.
Joan flew out for two hours at a stretch, and his convergent wings landed among the mountains, landing on a frozen stream.
At this moment, the barren mountains and ridges where he had settled were more than 100 miles away from the straight line of Midgard City, surrounded by snow-covered coniferous forest, desolate and quiet, uninhabited.
This barren mountain is called "Balun Mountain" by the locals.
Looking up from the mountainside where Joan is located, the towering peaks are hidden in the clouds. According to Mrs. Anderson, a large group of monsters with deer heads and eagles nestled in the cave on the top of Bailun Mountain. They are fierce, cruel, and cannibalistic. Flying down and attacking pedestrians passing by, but Joan hasn't seen this legendary monster so far.
Looking down from the mountainside, there are faintly visible ruins of large and small mining fields at the foot of the mountain. As early as 20 years ago, Bailun Mountain was famous for producing magic crystal ore, attracting thousands of miners and investors, regardless of the risk of being attacked by monsters on the top of the mountain and beasts in the forest, rushing to dig a pit at the foot of the mountain, hoping for a big Make a fortune.
Unfortunately, the magic crystal veins of Bailun Mountain are not as rich as people expected. They will be exhausted within ten years. Unprofitable mines have gone bankrupt and closed down, and miners have left here to find another way out.
The abandoned mining field is gradually covered by shrubs and weeds. After ten years of idleness, it has become a dead ruin, but it is occasionally used by passing beasts or robbers to serve as a lair.
The reason why Joan flew to the Bailun Mountain in the middle of the night was to study the newly-invented 2 ring spell "Aphasia".
In order to find a humanoid experiment, Joan asked the landlord, Mrs. Anderson, what dangerous areas of robber rampage near Midgard City, preferably those with frequent goblin or orcs.
Mrs. Anderson provided him with three alternative locations: the Vimur Valley in the western part of the Great Plains of Vigilide; the northern part of Midgard, near the "Iron Forest" magic crystal mining area "Ancient Abyss" Jinlunga; and It is the Bailun Mountain located in the south of Midgard, between the "Spa Town" and "Freeport".
All three places are recognized as hazardous areas by local residents, but the root causes of the hazards vary.
Let’s take the Vimur Valley for example. The reason why Mrs. Anderson thinks this area is dangerous is because it is a site that both the Meadgard colonizers and the Asa tribes are trying to compete for. Specially attacking the colonists, once they succeed, they will kill them, and they will even cut off the deceased's hair and scalp as a spoil.
The colonists and the aborigines had a deep grievance, and the colonial newspapers highlighted the customs of Asa hunters killing and cutting their scalp, which further deepened the colonists’ fear and aversion to the aborigines, called brutal "barbarism." people".
Under the influence of this concept, the Vimur Valley, as a conflict zone between the Aboriginal forces and the Colonial Corps, will of course be regarded as a dangerous zone by ordinary citizens like Mrs. Anderson.
When Joan was in his hometown of Alfheim, he got along well with the local Asa people. He was invited by the Conti family to visit the Asa settlement, and his relationship was as close as his family; he came to Mead last winter. Jiade, who was attacked by a snow monster during his journey, was fortunately rescued by the Logan family who was born in the northern Assa tribe of Songsong. During his stay as a guest in Shizhu Town, he was also awarded "Honorary Townspeople" by the elders of the Vosong tribe title.
Because of these encounters, although Joan was born in a colonial family, he never regarded the Asa indigenous as his enemy, nor did he ever think of destroying them and robbing them of their land. As for the colonists' brutal expansion with violence as the backing, Joan was powerless to stop it, but he did not want to participate.
In Joan’s view, both the aborigines and the colonists are human beings, and no one is more noble than others. His moral bottom line does not allow him to randomly find a passerby in the city to conduct experiments, nor does he allow him to grab an Asa tribe as an experiment. body.
Excluding the "Vimur Valley", Joan also has two alternative experimental sites, "Ancient Abyss" and "Balun Mountain."
