Chapter 35 Persuading the Sprites
“Sprite, please don’t say that! This is the hero who saved our forest, the hero Lonis, not a bad person.”
Bai Ye seemed to know the sprite and immediately stepped forward to introduce them when she heard her speak.
However…
“Hero? Hmph, isn’t it just using the Rainbow Abyss Power for selfish desires? Humans are like this. Even planting trees is just to cut them down to make furniture and houses, not for nature itself!”
“!”
Lonis was speechless at the sprite’s retort.
Because it seemed…
It was indeed like that?
If the Demon Race and Exotic Beasts survived by plundering human wealth, then humans were undoubtedly a race that survived by plundering the wealth of plants.
Of course, if this was done without plants having emotions, then plundering was not a problem, because you could regard plants as “cold objects.” Even the most extreme animal rights activists would not propose empathy for plants.
However, if plants had emotions, it would be another matter.
After all… if it was equivalent to slavery to rely on violence and power to enslave other intelligent beings to serve humans, then history would have regressed.
Just like the existence of Bai Ye or the robots of the Moon Kingdom, they were not forced to serve humans. Everyone stood on the same side from the bottom of their hearts.
So, in that case…
“Sprite, I apologize for the destructive behavior of some humans among us. However… we humans are also part of nature, and we need to eat to survive. At least in this regard, we are no different from ordinary wild animals.”
“So, that’s what you mean! You animals are all parasites of nature! It’s enough to maintain the ecological balance of nature just by relying on plants (producers). Why do you consumers need it?”
A small purple sprite also rushed up and said imposingly.
“Uh?”
“Of course, I’m not asking for you to disappear. I just hope that you humans stay away from our forest. We can grow on our own and don’t need your human interference.”
…
This time, Lonis really didn’t know what to say.
Because what the other party said was indeed very reasonable. If viewed from the perspective of plants, humans were indeed not really needed?
However…
Elus doted on her wife very much. Seeing Lonis in a deadlock, she just sneered and retorted to the sprite:
“Oh, so you’re saying that the plants on this planet are all on a wrong evolutionary path?”
“Wrong… evolutionary path?”
“That’s right. You know, most higher plants in nature bear fruit, right? And this fruit is generally large, sweet, and non-toxic. Do you know why?”
“!”
“That’s because plants themselves want to be tasted by animals? They need to rely on animals to carry their seeds to distant places. The development of this world for billions of years has proven that plants that shut themselves in are all low-grade primitive plants. The more plants evolve, the more they tend to coexist and help each other with animals!”
Elus was worthy of being a princess with extensive knowledge. With just one argument, she managed to shut the purple-haired sprite up.
The purple-haired sprite couldn’t possibly say that evolution was wrong, because saying so would be equivalent to abandoning some “plant compatriots.”
“You… you’re quibbling!”
“It’s not quibbling. And even with the Rainbow Abyss Power… doesn’t this also contain the crystallization of human wisdom?”
“Uh?”
“Your existence itself is actually the product of the combination of ancient human wisdom and plants. Therefore, denying humans is denying yourselves!”
“Wuwu!”
At this moment, the purple-haired sprite was defeated. A blue-haired sprite also came forward and said, “Little Purple, I told you. We shouldn’t reject humans. Cooperating with humans is what we should do.”
“I… I understand…”
Although the purple-haired sprite’s tone was a bit harsh, she was very rational. After careful consideration, she seemed to have accepted Elus’s idea.
But what about the red-haired sprite?
She seemed to be a bit short-tempered and “attacked” without any regard for the circumstances.
“I don’t care, I don’t care. Anyway, I just don’t like being ordered around by humans. Damn humans, they are the most hateful.”
…
The sprite had no attack power and just rammed towards Lonis’s chest with her body!
This was difficult for our gentle Heroine. That feeling was like a small animal burrowing into your chest, so ticklish!
And as a human, she was too embarrassed to use brute force directly.
However, Elus sighed and said:
“Forget it, little idiot, release some of your magic power.”
“Huh?”
“Let this sprite see your abilities as a Rainbow Abyss certified person.”
“Ah, ah!”
Hearing Elus say that, Lonis released a little magic power.
And the sprite who had been very angry with Lonis just now?
At this moment, she looked as if she had seen a ghost, her eyes wide with surprise: “H-how is this possible! How can it be so comfortable… it’s even more comfortable than being in a fruit.”
As soon as Lonis released her magic power, the red sprite immediately stopped struggling.
She lay on Lonis’s chest, just like a newborn butterfly basking its wings on a flower, lazily displaying a very satisfied expression.
“So comfortable, so good…”
“Alright, Lonis, stop now?”
“Mm.”
“Ah, ah, why did you stop! I was just enjoying it.”
…
The gentle feeling disappeared, and the sprite appeared extremely disappointed.
Elus also held the sprite in her palm and said seriously, “Of course, it’s because benefits and obligations are synchronized, okay?”
“!”
“Since you have enjoyed the benefits from humans, you should work hard. Don’t do anything that is detrimental to unity.”
“Wuwu…”
…
This time, the red-haired sprite was also convinced.
Although there were other sprites in the room, such as the yellow sprite who was more lively and the white sprite who was more lazy, with this, everyone had no objection and could start attending formal classes~
And the first lesson for the sprites was…
…
“Mm, Sister Lonis, the sprites don’t quite know which human behaviors are illegal or bad, and which behaviors are beneficial to the forest and nature. Can you explain it to everyone from your perspective?”
Bai Ye prepared a small blackboard and chalk and handed them to Lonis.
As she took the chalk, Lonis knew that her significance was immense.
What she wrote would become the future moral and behavioral guidelines for the Boundless Land, and it would have a profound impact on future generations.
Since that was the case…………
“Well, generally speaking, reckless deforestation is definitely wrong. Humans need to collect trees, but there must also be quotas! Logging must be licensed, and fertilization…”
