Chapter 866 I need some of your blood, Mom
"I want to know more... Mom, can I have a little bit of your blood when I get back?"
Bruno Fernandes was fully aware of how rude and uncomfortable his words were, but it was exactly what he craved…
"Yes, of course, it will hurt a little. I won't give you too much blood, mainly because it's best if my body doesn't bleed too much, as I'm worried about the unpredictable consequences..."
Norlinxi was genuinely worried that her body might cause some special consequences, after all, she had always had some health issues, hadn't she?
Just like before, when they used their own blood to upgrade the potion, creating a potion that was impossible to make at all...
One's own blood, because of its overwhelming vitality, possesses an extreme sense of inclusiveness. Many people will want to understand it, many people will want to see it...
"Is it really okay? I don't want a lot, just a small bottle, like this little bit..."
Bruno Brienz held up his hand, gesturing as if he were grasping a tiny star. It was indeed just a tiny bit, and he treated this tiny speck of something as if it were some extremely precious alchemical product, frankly, like obtaining dragon's blood...
Dragon blood is, of course, a product of alchemy. Under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to take blood. The higher the price, the more innocent people will be harmed. Therefore, a whole process is needed to ensure that no dragon is oppressed, since it will bleed under normal circumstances due to injury, childbirth, etc.
"It's a little less than I expected. To be honest, at first I was thinking, if you wanted two bottles of the same potion as me, how should I do it? But now I understand, I can give you this little bit right now..."
The vials containing the medicine were specially made, and there were quite a few of them. If I had to estimate, they would contain about 300 milliliters, which is equivalent to 600 milliliters of blood at once. Although the body would return to normal, 600 milliliters of blood would inevitably cause some problems, considering that I had once forced myself to do something completely impossible with only about two milliliters of blood...
600 ml of my own blood, and with significantly stronger medicinal and elemental effects than before—that's a bit frightening...
If we compare it to the current situation, it's highly likely that adding just 0.1 ml more to a novice would turn them into someone capable of crafting advanced potions...
"So how much did Mom initially think I would ask for?"
Bruno didn't quite understand why his mother looked like she had to tell him, until she took out the bottle of medicine. He hadn't noticed how big the bottle was when he drank it, but now he realized it was ridiculously large. A normal bottle of medicine is usually around 100 milliliters, but this one looked like it was over 300 milliliters...
“At first I thought you needed this much. Actually, if you need this much, I can barely accept it, but then you'll need to be more obedient recently, and... help Mom more or something... something like that. And I also need to tell you not to abuse drugs…”
No amount of care for children is ever enough. Children are wonderful creatures, so no matter what, we must be kind to them, make them happy, make them feel gentle, and make them think that everything is good. That's all that's needed...
"I'll gradually understand what Mom is saying, don't worry. I won't do anything to upset Mom, because Mom is a very important person to me..."
"...People change, my child, but I'm so happy that you can say these things, because I'm really glad that you can tell me these things, that you can share these things with your mother..."
People change over time; this has been said countless times. But each time, the child tries his best to tell himself that people don't change...
Because the child is still young and can't understand all this yet. There's nothing I can do; he's a bit slow...
The child is a cute little fool, a fool loved by his mother...
Even the most slow-witted child will be loved by everyone, because a mother is love, a part of me that is separated from my own body. How could I not love you? You were born from my life; I personally gave you life. You didn't have the right to choose not to come into this world, so if I didn't love you, you would be so pitiful…
I love you, my child. I want you to understand that you came into this world because I love you, because I think you are a good child, because love never ends...
You cannot escape your birth, you cannot escape the birth of life. If even I no longer love you, how pathetic you are...
"Mom, I love you so much... So Mom, will you stay with me? You'll always be with me, right? You won't abandon me so easily, will you?"
"No matter how many times you ask, my answer will always be no. I will not abandon you. I will always be with you. I love you, as long as you don't do anything unforgivable..."
There are some things called bottom lines, things that cannot be taken away or changed under any circumstances. These things never end from birth; once a person has morality and values, all of this is already formed.
“I will not go against the morals my mother wants, nor will I go against the laws my mother wants. I understand all of this, so I will not do that…”
Morality is meant to restrain people, but it also helps people understand each other better, allowing them to get to know one another. Even if there is malice, it prevents people from easily turning against each other with weapons...
There will be malice in this world, and it is impossible for everyone to understand each other. This is perfectly normal. The dual constraints of morality and law can prevent a lot of trouble.
The law sets the bottom line for people, while morality sets the upper limit. At least, that's the answer given in current education...
"Let's continue deeper into the mountains. I'm here in the snow-capped mountains. I just visited a friend while you were spacing out..."
"Hmm? Is that the Hilichurl King from the Snow Mountain?"
"Hmm, is this your first time seeing this?"
"This is indeed the first time I've seen a Hilichurl King in the snowy mountains... most other places are populated by Electro and Geo elements."
"Because this kid was originally a good child... a guilty child, though I don't think he was guilty of much... When a child has to suffer eternal pain and torment because he wasn't guilty of much, I don't think that's right at all..."
