Chapter 38 The Nature of Civilization
"Hunting is of course one of the main reasons that drove me here. The bigger reason is that I am tired of the mortal world." Cabriere said, looking into Lewell's eyes.
"When I was a mortal, my life was so boring and full of staleness. When I was young, I was a lady who was raised strictly according to noble standards, but after I got married, I was completely reduced to my husband's reproductive tool , gave birth to him one child after another. Poverty made me lose most of them. Although we are nobles, we have fiefs and no income. I can only watch my husband vent his anger on my children. I can't even educate them because doing so would challenge my husband's authority in the family. I can only sell my jewelry piece by piece and buy them some gifts to keep them happy in that dead home a little."
"Huh? So Lester was born in a noble family?" This was the first time Lewell heard about Lester's past.In his impression, the little boy that Louis said needed to rely on his lover to make a living was probably from a poor background.
"It's not so much an aristocratic family, it's better to say it's a human grave holding the past and waiting to die." Cabriere showed a mocking expression on his face, "In short, the long-term depression almost killed me, and in the end it was Les Te gave me eternal life, so that I finally had the chance to escape from that world. I will never forget the day when my most beloved child, my wolf fiend, finally grew into a man strong enough to lift me from Pull me back from the arms of the God of Death, and endow me with extraordinary powers!"
"Now I can have time to study the beauty of the stars, I can roam the wilderness as I please, I can keep company with wild beasts, drink their blood, and wear their skins to keep out the cold. When the dawn is coming, I can easily make a living on the ground Dig a makeshift grave. Then, as soon as the sun sinks back into the earth, I'll wake up and be the master of this world far from mortals. What a satisfying life it is!"
Lewell was dumbfounded.He can only deduce one thing, that is, Cabriere lived in extreme depression when she was a mortal, otherwise she would not be so eager to escape from human society after becoming a vampire.From the tone of the female vampire, he felt a deep contempt for mortals.Cabriere seems to have cut herself off completely from mortals, refusing to acknowledge the social roles she has played in the past.Even when she mentioned Lester, her expression didn't seem to be caring for her son at all, but more like missing her lover.
"Maybe you should go back to the civilized world with me to take a look. I can guarantee that the world of mortals is very different from when you left." Lewell said, considering his words.
"No, you don't understand, the change of mortals has nothing to do with me. If it weren't for Lester who likes living among mortals, I don't even care whether there are mortals in this world. Whether it's mortals or vampires, it doesn't matter. I can't change my pursuit of freedom, only the jungle and the wilderness are the places I yearn for."
Capriel paused, a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"You call the outside world a civilization? No, in my opinion, the so-called civilization is just a small group of people who put on a beautiful coat for the dictatorship in order to satisfy their selfish desires. No matter how their 'civilization' develops , can never get rid of the nature of dictatorship. Now, since we are not mortals, why are we still bound by the rules set by them? No, I don't care how far such 'civilization' has developed. In fact, I Contempt for this so-called civilization. Only the law of the jungle of the jungle can make me feel awe."
Cabriere looked a little excited.
"Lewell, I think you should live freely like me. We must face up to our vampire identity and never try to find our place in the mortal world. Otherwise, one day you will be worse than Those self-exiled descendants of the nether world live even more miserable lives. Think about it, even though they have the most powerful power among vampires, they still dare not expose themselves in the crowd, what kind of sadness it is!"
"The most powerful vampire? Are you talking about Armand?" Lewell's heart moved.
"Oh! Do you also know that guy who is full of lies? He doesn't understand anything at all, but he deliberately pretends to be old-fashioned and uses a set of ridiculous theories to convince himself!" Cabriere let out a cry He snorted disdainfully, "That's right, I'm referring to him! This vampire who has lived for 400 years has power but doesn't know how to use it. You can't imagine what kind of life he and his companions had in Paris. Days! They regard themselves as servants of Satan, wearing clothes ripped from the dead, not daring to speak to mortals, and wandering in the dark cemetery all day long. The magical instruments in the church obviously cannot harm their bodies, but Scared them to death. If it weren't for Lester and I, we broke his perception of vampires, he might still be curled up in some old coffin rotting with his tattered clothes! A typical example of the poisoning of mortal cognition. If he can realize like me that we have surpassed mortal life from the moment we become vampires, he will not bind himself with the non-existent satanic legend. "
Lewell couldn't help but think of Armand's obsession with religion.He was absolutely convinced that it was not impossible for Armand to live like the living dead if Armand was right on top of it.However, Armand seems to be completely in line with the times now. Is this because of the influence of Leicester?The relationship between them turned out to be more than a simple love rival.No wonder Armand showed such an expression when he mentioned Leicester...
"Lewell, what do you think of my suggestion? Don't rush to reject me, I can make you truly live freely!"
Lewell frowned.Although it was difficult for him to understand Armand's dedication to faith, Cabriere's thoughts also made him feel incredible.
To be a completely unsocial wildling?
Lewell found the event almost unimaginable to him.
"But the world of mortals is expanding outward step by step. Even if you don't want to admit their civilization, they will soon spread all over the world, and even the poisonous snakes and beasts in the Amazon jungle cannot stop their footsteps. By then you What should we do?"
"There are always places they can't go." Cabriere shrugged, "Besides, they are just a kind of food to me. As a vampire, I have no reason to be afraid of them."
"That's true." Lewell nodded in acknowledgment.
"My dear friend, please don't deny my words easily, just think carefully, and you will find that this is the truth of the world! Isn't it fate that you came here from a long distance? Please stay, stay by my side , I can tell you more, let you understand the real civilization, understand the beauty of the world!"
Levi scratched his hair in annoyance.He really couldn't think of words to refute Cabriere.
"Besides, men and women, aren't they the most complementary pair? We can share each other's secrets. As for the elves you want to know. I've never seen them. I know that the priests here can manipulate things that are invisible to the naked eye. Power. Together we can uncover its secrets." Cabriere fiddled with her hair, inviting Lewell to join her in the jungle.
"Wait! You said, you...you want to be my partner?" Lewell asked in surprise.He suddenly had the illusion that he was about to be captured by wild men.Of course, the "female savage" standing in front of him has an unbelievably beautiful face and figure, and can almost become every man's dream lover.But that allure takes a backseat when it comes to being Lester's mother.Lewell even felt a chill down his spine.
"Yes. But we must establish a brand-new relationship between men and women. God made Eve obey Adam. In my opinion, this is the earliest dictatorship. On the contrary, there are very few such examples of females obeying males in nature. In the future, we must be equal, perform our duties, and be inseparable." Cabriere put her bare arm on Lewell's shoulders, her body looming under the blanket, "You will fall in love with this life, I promise."
"Ahem..." Lewell took half a step back, thought for a moment, and then said, "I think I have to understand your lifestyle before making a decision." When he said this, he The hair on the back stood up again.But he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse Cabriere.He wants to know more about the vampire mind and the world at large.
"Of course. I'm also very curious about you." The female vampire said with a smile.
Lewell asked Cabriere to wait for a while.It took him a while to find Carlos.The beautiful Brazilian boy was kneeling on the ground praying devoutly. As soon as he saw him, he immediately jumped up and asked what the "Goddess of the Jungle" had said to him.Lewell explained that he had to stay and learn from the "Goddess of the Jungle" how to expel the elves, and let Carlos go back alone.
"Oh yes! Thank you so much! I'll meet you in Rio. You can find me at school."
Carlos left all his supplies and tools behind.He repeatedly asked Lewell if he needed anything more from him.Looking at the boy's black and white eyes at this moment, Lewell couldn't help but feel a little moved.In his opinion, the relationship between David and Carlos can be roughly classified as an affair while traveling.Maybe David will still talk about it decades later, but Carlos can never be the person who will accompany David for the rest of his life.The reason why he trekked mountains and rivers to the jungle to find the so-called jungle goddess, apart from some sympathy for Carlos, was more out of curiosity about Candobre spiritualism.He never thought about how much courage it took for a native Indian boy who walked out of the Amazon jungle to confront his mother and defend his fragile love.
"I'll go back to find you anyway." Lewell patted Carlos on the shoulder and promised.
"Thank you." Carlos blushed slightly, "You look so fierce, I thought at first...Level, you are really a good person!" The beautiful boy took a black pendant from his neck Put it on Levi, it looks like some kind of dried insect.
"Dia will bless you." Carlos closed his eyes and prayed devoutly for a while.
It wasn't until the figure of the pretty boy completely disappeared into the jungle that Lewell turned and walked towards the clearing.
"Come on! Let me show you our temporary residence." Cabriere was obviously a little impatient.She glanced at the luggage in Lewell's hand, showing a disdainful smile. "After you've actually lived here for a while, you'll see that none of these things work with a cane."
"Maybe!" Lewell shrugged.Although he has never lived in the Amazon jungle, as a spirit hunter, he actually has a good way of surviving in the wild.In the absence of anything, local materials can greatly improve the chances of survival.But some modern gadgets, like the hand-made gadgets he keeps in his backpack, keep him comfortable no matter where he goes!
"I thought you usually just dig a hole in the wild to sleep?" Now that he had decided to stay temporarily, Lewell couldn't help being very curious about the female vampire's life in the jungle.
"Yes. Those ancient vampires believed that only coffins can serve as our refuge during the day. But it turns out that we can spend the day safely anywhere as long as we don't get direct sunlight. But there are some places I'm going to take you to Special. That was my greatest discovery in this jungle!"
