Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

By the way, this is also a question of Lind's own safety. There are a bunch of new beastmen around him who listen to him. What if something happens one day...

Linde did not ignore the hungry eyes of the new beastmen around him, especially when he was communicating with the Earth Mother Goddess. Fran had already explained to Linde the strong attraction of the Earth Mother Goddess's aura to the new beastmen.

Taking the document that looked like a research report, Lind first looked at the cover. The title was written in beautiful fonts on it, and below it was the author's name, Wixon Booker.

"It's Master Vixen's thesis." Alyssa also came over curiously and looked at it with Lind.

Efit also came over, and together with Alisa, they sandwiched Linde between them. It was more like he was competing with Alisa than wanting to watch together.

"Do you know him?" Linde looked at Alyssa.

"I know him." Elisa nodded. "He is my father's mentor, a professor at the Holy Empire National Magic University, a six-pointed ice magician, and an authority on the study of extraterrestrial races."

"Awesome, awesome." With a long string of impressive titles, this old man named Vixen is actually an authority-level figure.

Although authority also means academic monopoly, it often also means playing it safe. Lind started reading the first page, and then he almost couldn't hold it in.

"I believe that many people, like me, have had a small question: can humans have children with animals?"

Chapter 132: The Cold Scholar

Linde almost couldn't hold back his words in the first sentence of the paper. This old man is really direct in his words. Is he so explosive right from the start?

I also believe that there are many people like you, old man, please don't think that there is a lot of sadness in this world.

But to some extent, this question seems to be correct. Before crossing, Lind had heard that some places in Europe still have animal brothels, and in a certain South Asian subcontinent, you can hear about eye-catching pornographic pictures every now and then.

By the way, the emergency department of the hospital where Lind worked once admitted a man who was sent here because his Dioka could not be pulled out of his Pomeranian. When he was lying on a stretcher, staring at the cute Pomeranian, and passing through the emergency hall like a triumph under the gaze of everyone, Lind was very curious about the Pomeranian's psychological activities at this time.

Curious about how the case was handled, Lind went to the urology department to ask. After learning the detailed treatment process, Lind could only pray that the man's sexual orientation would not change strangely.

The dog didn't die, by the way.

Alisa blushed and subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands, but still opened her eyes a little and continued to watch secretly. A thirteen-year-old girl is at the age of spring love, and she must want to watch such things but dare not, so she secretly hides in the bed to watch.

Efit had a nonchalant expression, as if to say, "That's all?" This was not surprising. Efit's family owned a tavern, and the people in the tavern were a mixed bunch, with all kinds of heroes. Efit probably knew a lot of things he should and shouldn't know.

"As expected of a master, you always speak directly." Linde gave a dry laugh, complimented casually, and then continued to read. The more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

Although it is a paper on the reproduction of beastmen, just like the paper before the time travel to make up the word count, it begins with a definition of what beastmen are.

Originally, Linde planned to just glance over this paragraph and then skip it, but he soon saw some useful content.

"Contrary to what most people imagine, Beastmen are not a race with a long history. Through exchanges with elven scholars and various archaeological studies, I discovered that the history of Beastmen is not long. Compared to other races, Beastmen were born very late, later than other races."

"Although many people regard beastmen as beasts without any civilization, based on my careful observation, beastmen are actually very primitive and civilized. It's just that they are too backward and their overly beastly lifestyle makes their civilization very inconspicuous."

This is consistent with Lind's observation. According to Lind's observation, not to mention the new beastmen, even the howling chaos beastmen have primitive civilization. Tribal settlements and primitive worship of chaos are all manifestations of primitive civilization.

"I cannot verify the exact time of the birth of the Beastmen, but I infer that the earliest batch of Beastmen should have been born during the first Chaos Demon invasion. As for when the first Chaos Demon invasion occurred, I still know the answer to this question."

"Through research and observation of the birth process of existing beastmen, I infer that the earliest beastmen were born from the hybridization of humans and beasts. Under the influence of the evil power of the Chaos God, the boundary between humans and beasts was broken, and humans and beasts (beep~) (beep~) (beep~) each other, and then the earliest beastmen were born."

As a restricted content played, Lind's eyes widened and he remained speechless for a long time.

Lind had thought about how the beastmen came about and proposed some hypotheses, including the hybridization of humans and beasts, but he didn't expect...

"How did he come up with this result?!" Lind was so shocked that he shouted out.

"Keep reading." Ilfa said expressionlessly.

At Ilufa's reminder, Lind continued to read on, and the more he read, the more horrified he became.

Lind also knew that the beastmen would capture humans. The worship of chaos made the beastmen hate other intelligent races, including humans, deeply.

Lind knew what would happen to captured humans. The beastmen would vent their animal desires on the captured humans, regardless of whether they were men or women. When the captured humans were tortured to death, they would be eaten as food.

Beastmen will forcibly violate captured humans, both men and women, but this is generally considered to be a simple release of desire, but this article continues...

"For research purposes, I captured more than ten different types of beastmen and had humans have sex with them. Eight pairs of beastmen became pregnant and gave birth to eight beastmen. Therefore, I concluded that the earliest beastmen were the product of intercourse between humans and beastmen. The beastmen that have been born still retain the ability to reproduce with humans, but for unknown reasons, all the children born are beastmen."

"Please rest assured that all humans and beastmen used in the experiment, including the children born, have been rendered harmless."

Seeing this, Lind was speechless. In order to conduct research, they let humans and beastmen have children, and all humans and beastmen, including the children born, were rendered harmless.

What the so-called harmless treatment means is self-evident.

"Is this Vixen a human?" Lind asked tremblingly.

"He has a nickname, the Cold Maester." Illufa said in a deep voice. "Everyone who knows him says that his heart is as if frozen."

"As my husband's mentor, I have met him before." Irufa took a deep breath. "He gave me the feeling of a cold stone with an icicle."

Although he had never met this Vixen, Lind could sense his cold-bloodedness and disregard for life from the words in this document.

Unlike Lind's experiments on animals when he was in college, this one called Vixen is obviously different. Between the lines, he treats life as a tool.

Due to the author's reasons, Lind didn't bother to read the rest of the content carefully. He just glanced at it hastily, stopping at the valuable parts and skipping the worthless ones.

I looked around in a hurry until I stopped at a place that concerned me.

"As a hybrid of humans and beasts, beastmen have some characteristics of both humans and beasts in mating, such as the monopoly on mating rights. When a group of beastmen gather together, the most powerful beastman will gain the dominant position, that is, the beast king."

"Like many animals that act in groups, the beast king will monopolize the mating rights of all females in the group. This is not only a right but also an obligation. The beast king has the responsibility to ensure that all females in the group become pregnant and continue the group."

Seeing this, Linde's eyes became sharp.

Chapter 133: The New Beastmen King

In the early stages of almost all civilizations, there was no systematic knowledge inheritance system, let alone scientific research. The repeated invention of the same thing is a typical example.

Specifically speaking of the Beastmen, humans' understanding of them is scattered and unsystematic. In addition, the Beastmen themselves are not the kind of intelligent race that would study themselves and then systematically introduce themselves to other races. For a long time, research on the Beastmen has been very scattered.

This situation applies not only to the Beastmen, but also to many non-human races with low levels of civilization. For example, the green-skinned Orks who are mainly active in the southern badlands, humans have not yet reached a consensus on what the "waaaaagh" they shout means.

In the minds of most people, beastmen are wild beasts that can walk upright like humans and are very dangerous, that's all. There is almost no systematic research to determine how beastmen came about.

Vixen's research report was the first systematic report on the reproduction methods of beastmen.

Before Vixen, there was already a theory that beastmen were the product of in-depth cross-racial communication between humans and beasts, but not many people believed it because there were so many people in the countryside who had improper relationships with sheep, and no sheep had ever given birth to a beastman.

Most of the humans abducted by the beastmen never came back, and there was no news of those who were rescued giving birth to the beastmen's children. Therefore, many people naturally believed that beastmen and humans would not have children.

Then Vixen's research report pointed out that beastmen and humans can give birth to children, and the children must be beastmen.

It's a very terrifying conclusion to think about, especially for the time traveler Lind.

How to judge whether two similar organisms are of the same species? There is a very simple and direct criterion, which is reproductive isolation. Simply put, can two organisms of different species produce fertile offspring when mating?

If pregnancy and fertile offspring can be produced, it proves that the two organisms are the same species or very closely related.

Although this research report did not further study the reproductive ability of the offspring, so it cannot be determined whether there is reproductive isolation after fertilization, it can at least confirm the relationship between humans and beastmen.

Humans and beastmen are two groups with very close blood ties, at least relatives at the same level as tigers and lions.

How did the earliest beastmen come into being? It is really terrifying to think about it.

Compared to the relationship between humans and beastmen, the matter of the beast king is insignificant. It is not uncommon for the beast king to monopolize the mating rights in the group. Wolves, lions, and monkeys all have similar phenomena.

There was nothing to worry about, really. Even though Fenrir had called him the Beast King, and the Earth Mother had also mentioned the Beast King to him...

I should ask the new beastmen.

"Have you finished reading it?" Ilufa said after Lind finished reading this explosive paper. "Although Vixen's personal ethics are very questionable and his style of doing things is very cold, I have to admit that his research conclusions are very convincing."

"Not only the Beastmen, he also obtained a lot of valuable research results on many other non-human races, such as the Green-skinned Orcs and the vampires and undeads that are the most troublesome to the Empire."

Ilfa was right. Although the research method was extremely radical and could be considered a crime against humanity in the world before the time travel, the correctness of the conclusion was unquestionable.

"Although I also know that the new beastmen are different from the chaos beastmen, but..." Illufa crossed his legs and folded his arms across his chest. "I think you should be more careful, Mr. Beast King."

Mr. Beast King, Ilfa read it very hard, and his eyes were meaningful, as if he was reminding Linde.

But there seems to be a special feeling in this look, as if it is full of resentment.

"What? Beast King? Linde wants to be the Beast King?" Alyssa asked curiously. As the content was too explosive, Alyssa didn't dare to read it anymore after reading half of it and didn't see the content about the Beast King.

"No! Absolutely not!" Linde closed the paper with a guilty conscience. "I definitely don't want to be a beast king! You are also responsible for repeating this kind of fabricated thing, do you know that?!"

Alisa blinked blankly. Efit squinted his eyes, his expression calm, but his eyes were a little distracted. Unlike his colleague Alisa, Efit watched everything from beginning to end.

Seeing Linde's panicked but slightly expectant reaction, Ilufa didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He showed this document to Linde with the intention of reminding him, but this kid's reaction...

Is it really too precocious?

After returning the documents to Ilufa, Linde said goodbye and left as if he was running for his life, even forgetting the purpose of his original visit.

"What was he coming here for?" After Linde left, Ilufa asked her daughter who had just walked to the door.

"It seems to be something about iron smelting." Elisa thought for a moment.

"Ironmaking? Isn't that what you've been helping with?" Illufa asked curiously. "And you don't have to follow me."

"Ah? Mother, didn't you want me to follow Lind all the time?" Elisa asked curiously.

"Not for now, you stay here, mom wants to talk to you about something."

"Oh..." Elisa nodded, and took a look through the crack in the door. She saw Linde walking away and Efit following behind him, and subconsciously frowned her beautiful eyebrows.

As someone who had experienced this, Ilufa caught his daughter's micro-expression and felt a little relieved.

Since her mother asked, Eliza stayed.

"What new ideas does Linde have?" After Elisa sat down, Ilufa supported his chin with both hands and asked Elisa with interest.

"He thinks the iron output is too low," Elisa replied. "He thinks sixty kilograms of iron per day is too little."

Elisa's tone was not without complaint. She admitted that many of Lind's wild ideas had unexpected effects, but she still felt that most of Lind's ideas were too bizarre.

"Sixty kilograms of iron is too little?" Ilufa laughed. "Maybe he really thinks it's too little. Not long ago he was talking to me about fertilizers and the grain yield per mu was 500 kilograms or something."

"Five hundred kilograms!?" Alisa jumped up. "Is he crazy!?"

"What? You think this is impossible?" Ilfa smiled.

Alisa opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say the word "impossible".

"Alyssa..." Ilufa noticed the changes in her daughter and asked tentatively, "You are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about what kind of husband you want to marry in the future?"

Chapter 134: Elisa's Mate Selection Requirements

Alisa blinked in a daze, as if she didn't hear her mother's words clearly. When she came to her senses, she jumped up immediately.

"Mother, you, you, you, what are you talking about!" Eliza's face turned red, and she looked at her mother with shame and anger.

"Sit down. I have a serious question to tell you." Ilfa showed her mother's dignity... and her broad mind. She puffed out her chest and spoke in a serious tone.

Although his tone was serious, Ilfa's expression was not that serious, and there was a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.

Eliza pouted and sat down with some resistance, her face almost showing her non-cooperation.

"It's the same question as before." After her daughter sat down, the mother also relaxed and smiled. "What do you think of your future husband?"

“…Mom, it’s too early for me to talk about this topic.” Alyssa lowered her head, not hiding her resistance to this topic.

"It's getting late." Illufa crossed her arms. "You are already thirteen years old. In another year, you will be old enough to get married."

Getting married at the age of fourteen was undoubtedly a shocking thing in China, but just like the common early marriage and early childbearing in most early civilizations, humans in this world also got married very early.

Sixteen for men and fourteen for women is the age of adulthood in the Holy Empire, and it is also the age at which one can get married. There are many reasons why it is so early, but the most prominent reason is the low average life expectancy.

People don't live long anyway, and if they don't get married and have children soon, their race will not be able to continue.

The most prominent reason for short life span is insufficient food and malnutrition. This problem is rare among the nobility, but since this trend has been formed in the whole society, the nobility, like the common people, generally marry and have children early.

Elisa is already thirteen years old this year. In a year, she will be old enough to get married. Moreover, due to the need to continue the family line and form marriage alliances, noble women generally get married as soon as they reach adulthood. It is extremely rare among the nobles for a woman like Ilufa to wait until she is fifteen to get married.

"Alisa, you haven't met a boy you like and you don't want to get engaged, so mom has let you do that. Every time your dad tried to force you to get engaged to a man you didn't know, mom helped you refuse. But you are already thirteen years old, and it's time to consider getting married." Ilufa said kindly, patiently persuading her like many ordinary mothers. "Tell mom what kind of boy you like, and I'll find one for you."

Elisa didn't answer, but just looked at her mother angrily and didn't speak for a long time.

Children of nobles tend to mature early, children from unhappy families tend to mature early, and smart children tend to mature early. Elisa, a smart noble child from an unhappy family, is much more mature than her peers.

Although she cannot compare with Lind, who has a boy's body and an adult's soul, among her peers, Elisa is definitely precocious.

Alisa resisted marriage from the bottom of her heart because she could see the unhappiness of her mother's marriage. Parents are the first teachers of their children. If the parents' family is not happy, it is easy for the children to fear and resist marriage.

In Elisa's view, her mother's marriage was unhappy, so as a daughter, it was natural for her to resist marriage.

Although she resisted, as the daughter of a noble family, Elisa knew very well that marriage was something the nobles could not avoid.
