Binding

Some babies born in pure animal form will unsteadily change into human form in a few days, and then continue to change between human form and animal form uncontrollably for several years; some will remain in animal form for several years, They can’t transform into human form, but their IQ is still human, and they don’t learn slower than their friends in human form. The only possible disadvantage is the language problem caused by the animal form structure. It is difficult for them to speak human language, but they can understand it. No difficulty.

There is another situation, which was more common in ancient times, but is relatively rare now, that is, being unable to transform into a human form for a lifetime.Generally speaking, if you haven't transformed into a human form even once after puberty, it basically means that you will never be able to transform into a human form for your entire life.This part... the barbarians don't even recognize them as orcs, they are just beasts returning to their ancestors.These beasts are not only wrong in appearance, but their learning ability is also very bad. When others speak to them, they can't understand the meaning of the words accurately, but can only understand the general emotions, just like pets that have been trained for a long time That reflex.

Whether it is ancient or modern, these wild beasts that were born will often face abandonment.They will be expelled from human settlements to live like real beasts.Fortunately for them, although in human society, their IQ is worrying, but in beast society, they are smart, strong, long-lived, extremely fighting, and can dominate.But no matter what, they were just beasts, and if they were killed, they would be killed, and even their parents would not feel sorry for them.

In the traditional concept of orcs, it is a shame to give birth to a pure beast, and it is also a shame to give birth to a boyar who cannot be turned into a beast. In addition, giving birth to a sub-orc is also called a half-orc. It is a kind of deficiency, and the later the child masters The ability to freely switch between human form and animal form makes them more embarrassed... It is a kind of intelligent creature with the law of the jungle, which is related to the harsh living conditions of the wild continent.

With the increase of inter-racial communication, the improvement of overall survivability, and the improvement of the environment, the orcs have gradually softened. In addition to strength, they also talk about feelings, culture, and romance.Although it is not like the Boyars who promote 'protecting the weak' as a due morality, nor is it like the elves who are restricted by the difficulty of procreating offspring and regard every cub as a treasure, but at least they no longer regard the weak as innocent forgivable.Maybe they will still ignore and despise them, but direct expulsions are gradually decreasing.In recent years, even if pure beasts are born occasionally, they are rarely thrown out of human society. Anyway, with the current family conditions, they don’t care about raising an extra mouth. At worst, they can be kept as pets. These biological animals are at least more obedient than real beasts. Can do something.

The most important thing is that even if you want to throw away beasts that cannot be transformed into human form, you must confirm that they are really unable to transform before throwing away, that is, at least wait until puberty, sixteen or seventeen years old, or more impatiently, seven or eight years old.It is true that there are some orcs who are particularly slow in changing shape, and it is not surprising that it takes a few more years.These guys who learned to change form slower than others may not necessarily be weaker than others when they grow up. After all, the strongest fighting form of orcs is the beast form, and the human form has more advantages in dexterity.

Therefore, no matter from the traditional concept of orcs or the concept of assimilation by other intelligent creatures, it is unreasonable to throw away a newborn animal-shaped baby.Shen Zhuo recalled the meowing of the milk cat a few years ago when the two of them asked Shui Shaqing for help, and the two cats that did not look like adults now, and he was very suspicious: "Teacher Shui, you won't Are you stealing orc cubs?"

Shui Shaqing was not angry at being questioned about her character, she calmly asked, "Why should I steal that thing?"

That's right, Shui Shaqing is a magician, and magicians pay attention to their own magic power, unlike other magic professions such as pharmacists, alchemists, and rune masters who value external things.Even though the ninth-level magicians have made great achievements in those professions, their values ​​are finalized in the junior and intermediate levels.Even if they can borrow a lot of foreign things after they are advanced, they still have a deep-rooted emphasis on themselves.What's more, Shui Shaqing's main department is the spiritual department, so there is even less demand for external objects.

——If you want to steal it, you have to steal it at the level of a witch. Stealing a weak cub is meaningless.

Mo Congshuo pointed to the two kittens: "So how did it come here?"

Shui Shaqing: "Their parents died, and I just met them. Oh, they are not brothers, they are two couples traveling together, and encountered monsters on the way. When I met them, three of them had already died, and the rest One of them is not far from death. However, the fetuses in the wombs of the two female orcs are still alive. I wiped out the monsters, and the female orc who was only breathing begged me to save the child."

At that time, Shuisha followed the vague prophecy to go to the wild land to find the source of the anti-magic war that might appear in the near future. She didn't know whether the monsters encountered by the two couples were related to the source. After all, they were just monsters and not conventional monsters. insect.With the ability of a ninth-level magician, it is not impossible to save the dying creatures, it is just a matter of how much you pay, but the female orc just begged repeatedly: "Save these two children, please."

Shui Shaqing: "It's not yet the time for them to be born. Even if they are cut out, they are not born well enough and don't have much potential for development." The implication is that from the point of view of orcs, there is no need to be born.

Female orc: "No, the three of them injected their final power into the fetus before they died, and I will do the same. These two children will get all our sacrifices. Although the sacrifice power of the magic energy is mixed It will exceed what they can bear now. Although this may make it difficult for them to transform, it is good to live even as a beast. As long as they are alive, maybe one day their own power will surpass our sacrifices .At that time, they will be the heroes of the orcs."

Shui Shaqing: "Did you know? If you give up this child, I can save you. Introduce its power to you, and you can live."

The female orc's eyes were distracted: "There is no need, my growth may be gone long ago. Please save the two children, they will not trouble you too much, they are protected by our sacrificial power, as long as you give them something to eat, they will You can live on your own. The survivability of beasts...is very strong...will live...the witch said this way..."

Shui Shaqing watched the female orc die. Although she wanted to know what information they got from the witch, she thought it would not be too different from what Orso provided, so she didn't bother to pursue it.

After waiting for a while, when the sacrifice process was over - it was very short, after all, it was the last sacrifice before death, which belonged to the explosive category - Shuisha opened the abdomens of the two female orcs, and took out two thin The children, to be precise, are two small... cats... more like mice, seriously.

Can it really feed?Shui Shaqing was very skeptical at the time.Yes, level nine professionals are very capable of saving people, but no matter how strong they are, there are situations that cannot be saved, such as dying of old age, exhausted energy, or premature death due to congenital deficiencies.

Two bald baby cats lined up side by side did not fill up Shui Shaqing's palm, she held the two not cute cats with one hand, and asked her spiritual body in embarrassment: "Bowknot, do you really want to raise it? "

As an older single person who doesn't get married not because she can't find a partner, but because she finds it annoying to share her life with others, Shui Shaqing doesn't like children, just like she doesn't like sentries. It is easy to lead to her violent mood.

The boa constrictor tilted his head: "If you don't want to keep it, throw it to the cat clan. Anyway, the female just mentioned the witch, ask the witch of the cat clan, she must know something, and she knows how to deal with these two little guys. They have sacrifices Guard, you can't die."

Shui Shaqing felt that this opinion was very good, so she decided on it.

Of course, since she brought the two cats back to the Imperial Capital School a few years later, they naturally failed to send them out.

"Fate." Shui Shaqing explained in this way.

"I heard that you have lived as cats for more than a year?" Shui Shaqing said to Shen Zhuo and the two, "So it must be rich experience?"

Mo Congshuo asked cautiously: "What kind of experience are you referring to?"

Shui Shaqing: "Of course it is the experience of understanding cats. You can know what they mean by their random movements and sounds?"

Shen Zhuo: "That's impossible. The cats we become are different from real cats. Our way of thinking in cat skins is also human."

Shui Shaqing: "How could it be? In the cat form, you can't help but flutter the ball of wool, just like in the hamster form, you can't help running the roller. Human thinking is also inevitably affected by physiological factors."

Mo Congshuo: "...so?"

The bow of the boa constrictor stuck its head in front of Shen Zhuo.

Looking at eyes that are bigger than his own face, Shen Zhuo: "..."

Shen Zhuo really wanted to draw his sword, but facing such a huge ninth-level spiritual body, his fourth-level accompanying sword was no different from a toothpick in terms of length and attack power, so he held back and did not move.

"Stretch out your hand." Shui Shaqing said to Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo stretched out his right hand with a sullen face.

"Two." Shui Shaqing added.

Shen Zhuo stretched out his left hand again.

The boa constrictor spit out the two cats into Shen Zhuo's hands.

Shen Zhuo: Fortunately, the mental body does not have the problem of drooling... Wait, what are these two for me?

"I'll leave it to you," Shui Shaqing said to Mo Congshuo, "Take care of me well, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"...Wait, how long?" Mo Congshuo yelled at Shui Shaqing's back after being stunned, but unfortunately he didn't shout fast enough, Shui Shaqing had already moved quite a distance, enough to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Shen Zhuo supported the two cats, hesitantly said: "Does this mean... it will take a long time?"

Mo Congshuo looked at those two.In fact, in terms of appearance, they are really kind, but they are not suitable for keeping pets. If they are caught in the gap of time and space again, after a few years, won't these two become wild cats?They also have orc genes, their force value is too high, and their cubs' control is weak, so they can't be handed over to ordinary people to take care of them, but to other professionals... Then the former headmaster won't forcefully blame them Two.

"What should I do?" Mo Congshuo asked Shen Zhuo.

Shen Zhuo: "It's really impossible...ask the dean for help." As a student, when encountering difficulties—whether in study or in life—he should get help from the school.The meaning of the dean's existence is not only to restrain their behavior, but also to solve their worries.Imperial Capital School dares to charge such high tuition fees every year. Even non-compulsory year students may even only show up on campus for a few days throughout the year.
