Chapter 272 Don't waste, don't ask for extravagance

Zhao Mai and the reserve grain went out for a walk, and when they came back, they carried the corpse of a huge bear. The body was more than twice that of Zhao Mai, but it seemed that there was no weight on his shoulders.

There were no wounds on the bear's corpse. The cause of its death was that its neck was twisted 270 degrees. The three-eyed crow glanced at Zhao Mai and said to him: "You can survive with only berries, why do you still kill this bear?"

"I went out to hunt, and the first person I encountered was a reindeer. It ran away when it saw me. Then I ran into this bear." Zhao Mai waved his hand and a gust of wind blew, cleaning the ground. "Ado, go and call Mela to help burn the fire. You can prepare a few more basins or something."

"Ado, Ado!" The huge horse boy stood up, took off the torch from the wall, and went to the hole passage to find Li De's brothers.

"Why kill?" asked the three-eyed crow.

"I'm hunting, not killing." Zhao Mai looked at the three-eyed crow and said, "You choose to become a plant and merge with the big tree behind you. That's your natural way, I'm different from you."

"I had no intention of causing a quarrel, I just wanted to hear it." said the three-eyed crow, "I was fighting for the first half of my life, and the second half of my life was building castles and the Great Wall of Desperation, and my remaining life was here to accompany the son of the forest. I only know a way of nature, which is the son of the forest. Now, I want to know yours."

"I'm hungry, so I go to find food; I'm cold, so I go to find something to put on; I'm happy and laugh; I'm lonely, so I go to find friends, that's that simple." Zhao Mai said: "I met this bear, so I turned into a bigger and stronger bear. I asked it with the force of nature, whether to fight or run away. It fights with me, but it is not my opponent."

"It might be the pillar of a bear, and it might be about looking for food for its children, what should they do?"

"Nature never considers so much." Zhao Mai shook his head: "What you said is indeed a possibility. This bear is very important and valuable. It maintains more life and expectations. I cannot deny this possibility, but I cannot think that this possibility has become an irrefutable standard. Naturally, there is no standard, only human morality has it. The method of value measurement is something that arises in social development, giving people the ability to compare everything and can make people constantly pursue better."

"I have also pursued too much, money, and success in the past, but I found that I can never be the best in the mouth of others. Because people's thoughts are too complex, the value standards are even more impossible to be unified. I can only strive to be the best I need. Just like in the face of this bear, should I take off all the equipment on my body without using magic and spiritual powers, lower my intelligence to the level of the bear, and then fight fairly with it to determine life and death? Or can I get rid of the standard of value measurement by changing a ritual?"

"I know you want to test me and see if my personality can learn your true abilities." Zhao Mai smiled slightly, condensed a force field dagger as thin as a cicada in his hand, and began to cut the body of a bear. "You want to enter my mind, see if I am a kind person, and wonder if I will learn from you to do evil. But do you find that you can't come in, right?"

"Yes, there is a protective power in your mind. I can't get in, not even when you dream." The three-eyed crow admitted: "I can only observe you from your daily actions, but I can't be sure if what you do reflects your true thoughts. To some extent, I have to admit that I'm a little afraid of you."

"Thank you for your honesty, but I may never get your trust, because I can't act according to your standards. I have my own regulations." Zhao Mai handled the bear's corpse and put things into the basin that Adu brought. At this time, everyone gathered. Although Li De and his brothers were "noble children", they made a living by hunting and dealing with prey. Adu was a little afraid of blood, but there was no problem with the responsibility of moving things and boiling water. Everyone was listening to Zhao Mai's words and wanted to know what this mysterious guy was thinking.

"I have the ability to save your father. I know he is a good person. I also foreseen that he will die in advance. If I go to save him, the entire King's Landing will not stop me." Zhao Mai said to Bran: "Will you not blame me because I have the ability?"

"I...I don't know. But I want to ask, if you are sure you can foresee it in advance, why not do it?"

"If I had to kill a guard on the road, he had a family of people to support him, just like this bear, would you want me to kill him?" Zhao Mai said: "Will you beg me to kill everyone on the road and rescue your father? Even if possible, would you do it yourself?"

"No...I don't think I won't..." Bran shook his head again: "I don't know, you can't answer this question."

"That's right. Everyone says that morality has standards, and some people even think that what they know is standards." Zhao Mai said: "I figured it out halfway through the way north. In fact, morality has no standards, especially in the direction of how to do better." He raised his eyes and looked at the three-eyed crow, and then said: "If you want to know my character, I can only tell you that I will not make those mistakes that nature does not allow. I will not waste it, I will not ask for it, that's all."

"No waste, no extravagant?" The three-eyed crow repeated. "I accept this explanation. Tomorrow you and Bran will drink the green spring water and become the Green Prophet. I don't guarantee that you will succeed. You don't want to ask for it, but don't waste this opportunity."

After saying that, he closed his eyes. The roots of the tree were squirming in his body, and the power of nature was radiating with the roots and spreading in the cave land. The son of the forest listened for a while, and then he became busy separately. Zhao Mai saw them collecting minerals, soil, branches and roots, and various small insects. They collected underground river water, collected ice and snow, then mixed raw materials, recited spells, and began to make green spring water.

The little flowers floated in the air, watching them busy, and their big yellow amber eyes blinked again and again. "This seems to be a ritual of enlightenment!" She flew back and said, "All kinds of natural force attributes have been collected and then mixed together. In the Infinite Walker community, this is what they did. You should have drunk that bottle of potion, right?"

Zhao Mai nodded. That was the first time he saw the Enlightenment Tree. If this was the enlightenment ceremony: "Three-eyed Crow, can you let Li De and Adu try it too?"

"Ado cannot do it, his will is not complete. Jugen has tried it. He spontaneously possesses the power of prophecy. It will be useless to do it again." The three-eyed crow said slowly, with endless fatigue in his voice. "Mera, my strength is not enough to make another potion."

"Nothing, it's enough to have a prophet in my house." Mela Rid was not sad, and she said, "I just want to protect my brother and bring him back home safely."

"Then you should learn from Mike." said the three-eyed crow. "I think he will be willing to teach you."

Zhao Mai nodded: "If you want to learn..."
