Hasselblad crouched down beside Amtura's last words, his hand gently caressing the indentation carved by the knife, a faint glow floating on his fingertips.After identifying it through the witcher's own way, he was able to confirm that the text contained the will of Amtura and not a forgery.The bald, dark-skinned, African-like witcher was walking by, and he stopped with a serious expression after noticing Amtura's body: "Sure enough, Elder Amtura is also dead here......"
"Tutanin," Hasselblad stood up and nodded slightly to the dark-skinned witcher, "Take out those letters." ”Tutin was stunned for a moment: "Here?
”"Right here," Hasselblad said lightly, "Countess Ansesta is a respectable elder who has taken the initiative to show her sincerity, and we should respond accordingly." ”Tutin didn't say anything more, he walked away quickly, and soon returned with a small box that looked important.Hasselblad placed the box on the only intact table nearby, and he swept the clutter off the table, taking out a lot of letters and notes from the box and spreading them out in front of Vivien."
This is ......," Vivien picked up a few pieces of paper and looked at them, "Amtura's diary?"
”"We've found clues from these things, and White Fire should have mentioned them to you," Hasselblad nodded slightly, "These are the documents and diaries left by Amtura and the other two elders before their deaths, including their ......
The study of the phenomenon of innate hostility. ”Vivien and Hao Ren immediately examined the documents with great importance.The documents have been compiled by the witchers, and they are not only dated in order, but also by whose author.Hao Ren only took a cursory look at it, and found that the elder Amtura attached much more importance and depth of research to the phenomenon of innate hostility than he had imagined before.On these documents, Amtura describes in detail the "innate hostility" between the aliens and the "hunting instinct" of the witchers towards the aliens, and makes it clear that the two phenomena are in fact the same thing.From historical sources, he summarized and sorted out every supernatural race that has ever existed from ancient times to the present, as well as other information related to "innate hostility", including the degree of hostility of each race, the distribution of each race, the degree of force, the historical beginning and end points of each race, and their respective forms of civilization.He used his own criteria to divide "innate hostility" into ten levels, and used a chart to roughly describe the average degree of influence of the phenomenon of "innate hostility" on each race from 10,000 years ago to the present.On his chart, the influence of innate hostility was initially incredibly high, almost completely replacing the rational part of each race, and was classified as "beyond the level of thinking", while around the end of the mythological age, the influence of innate hostility on each race fell to the level of "rational and controllable", and in modern times it has declined significantly, and soon slipped to the level of "ordinary hostility that can be controlled at any time".And at the very end of the table, the curve drops to near zero by an astonishing magnitude, and Amtura writes at the end of the curve: "It's about to disappear?"
”Among these materials are the research materials and correspondence of the other two elder witchers, but what Amtura left behind accounts for nearly eighty percent of all the materials.Hao Ren was more and more surprised as he looked at these things, and he realized that these results were definitely not recent: it had only been a few months since the innate hostility had begun to subside among the younger generations of all races, and Amtura had apparently been studying them long before that.Vivien found a letter in which Amtura mentioned some of his research to a friend: "......
I discovered a long time ago that the supernatural races on Earth are so distinct, not only culturally, but also physially and spiritually.No one in their right mind would believe that these species were born on the same planet under natural circumstances......
I checked the books that had been confiscated, and it was clear that some of the other races of smart people were aware of this.“…… The aliens, and the witchers, all of these races are undoubtedly from outside of this planet, and not from the same planet outside of this planet, but from many planets.There is no doubt that we all have different origins......"
In another epistle, Amturah again brings up the subject: "......
Shouldn't we, my friend, be suspicious?
We've been hunting down other aliens for thousands of years, and those aliens are fighting the same mess with each other, but why hasn't anyone ever wondered?
As you and I agree, each supernatural race should come from a different place, we have different physiologies, different forms of power, different cultural traditions, and even different souls, and under normal circumstances, races so different have almost no chance of contact, just like the fish in the deep sea and the monkeys in the mountains have no intersection, let alone any hatred.But we were thrown on the same planet by some kind of force, fighting for war's sake.When I think about it, I feel very uneasy......
"We are driven by something that is not our own will, it lurks in the depths of your soul and mine, yes, we are like crickets and fighting cocks in a cage, with our eyes fixed on the 'enemy' in front of us, so that no one has ever wondered about the cage around us, and no one has thought about how we were sent to this cage."
And now that this drive is waning, I am even more worried that this is probably a worse sign: if there is an audience outside the 'cage', then he has probably lost interest in brawl performances. ”Most of Amtura's letters discuss this with his friends, and his main points are three: that the supernatural races on Earth come from different "outer lands"; The various supernatural races were collected from all over the universe and placed on Earth for a constant struggle; The phenomenon of innate hostility is a shackle and controller whose role is to ensure that the various supernatural races are constantly fighting.And these three points of view can be summed up into one, that is: it is all a conspiracy.Amtura was limited by his vision on Earth and was naturally unable to draw the right conclusions, but his conspiracy theories were still a cut above those of the other witchers and aliens who had never been suspicious, and at least he clearly understood that the hunter's "hunting instinct" had nothing to do with justice and mission at all, but was something extremely suspicious and came from a third party.But these thoughts of his are undoubtedly an outrageous act among the witchers."
I didn't expect a witcher to think of these ......"
Vivien couldn't help but muttered to herself, and Hasselblad nodded lightly when she heard this: "Amtura is the strangest of the elders, and many of his ideas seem to us to be even ......
Heterodox.The first half of his life was the bravest warrior, feverishly immersed in the hunt for alien races, but the second half of his life suddenly became obsessed with these doctrines. ”Vivien held up a letter and shook it, "Isn't he afraid of being tied to a firewood fire by your elders when he studies this?"
”Hasselblad shook his head: "His research has not lowered his status in the Witcher Organization, because his 'results' are always the best, and he is still a powerful hunter, but ......
The idea is a little odd. ”The corners of Vivian's mouth raised slightly: "I obviously realized that something was wrong, but I still didn't stop fighting." ”Hasselblad didn't have any answer to that.Hao Ren wanted to hear what the witcher in front of him thought of these "heretical theories": "Hasselblad, what do you think of his research?"
”Unexpectedly, Hasselblad nodded after a brief silence: "Makes sense." ”Vivien raised her eyebrows, "I thought you would scold you with righteous indignation." ”"The doctrine of Elder Amturah is no secret, and do you think the witchers are really battle freaks who only know how to show off their strength?"
Hasselblad had a smile on his face, "We are more focused on learning and research than most of the aliens.But these doctrines of Amtura do not change anything, the hunting instinct affects us more than you think, and the situation of war that has continued from the age of mythology to the present day cannot be reversed by such a doctrine.At least so far. ”Hao Ren didn't comment on this, he just glanced at the documents, and a line of words jumped into his eyes: "......
To sum up, our hunting instinct is not a natural product of what should exist in our souls, it is implanted, evidence of manipulation, perhaps purposeful......"
Somehow, Hao Ren thought of the words that Amturah left on his deathbed: "They are right, we are mistaken. ”(To be continued.) )
