From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 62 Summary and Proposal

After the expedition, the warriors and hunters had their own celebrations. Needless to say, the entire tribe was in a sea of ​​joy and fell into three days of eating, drinking and mating.

However, the witch doctors only cooperated and participated in the first day's celebration, then packed up their mood and devoted themselves to handling subsequent affairs.

In the central conference hall, a group of witch doctors and apprentices gathered together again. Sitting high in the seat belonging to the speaker, Blade Ya was quite surprised to find that there were three more trolls in the ranks of the apprentices.

Although it is a pity that the number of witch doctors has not been increasing (Note 1), becoming an apprentice is a prerequisite for becoming a witch doctor. The increase in the number of apprentices is equivalent to an increase in the base number, which is naturally worthy of happiness.

After gathering his mood, he knocked the hammer to signal the start of the meeting. After the trolls calmed down, he began to take the lead in summarizing the results, findings, and problems encountered during the expedition.

"The biggest gain this time is undoubtedly the increase in the number of trolls. The two targeted tribes have brought us nearly a thousand new trolls in total."

"Among them, there are about 800 sub-adult and prime-age trolls, and 73 trolls under the age of 16; in addition, there are 65 elderly trolls who still have a certain ability to work;"

"If it can be digested smoothly, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the foundation of this department."

"I brought back all the little trolls under the age of 16 and over three years old. These little guys who have not yet developed a sense of distinction, or whose awareness of distinction is still shallow, are undoubtedly the easiest to be assimilated."

Habits have become natural, and now almost every time the female troll says honorifics, it always evokes some special thoughts from Saber Ya.

"Ahem. Ahem." After coughing to cover up his cough, he nodded in approval and said, "Member Meiya, please."

For example, the Great Witch Doctor proposed,

"I'm sorry, Speaker. I'm a little excited."

"This directly leads to the 'death' of the fetus, which is broken down into nutrients and fed back to the body."

"In addition, the use of waterways on the return trip has also greatly improved our food transportation capacity, so that we will not have the embarrassing situation of eating half and transporting half; therefore, when discussing the rotation period of each hunter team, everyone must take this into account

Also take it into consideration and find the most efficient solution.”

"The reason why we have so many more newborns than them is because we have already determined the exact length of pregnancy."

"So, I propose to introduce stricter measures to forcefully reduce the labor intensity of female trolls during pregnancy."

"Although we have always lacked an accurate understanding of fetal instability in the first two years."

"The initial misunderstanding was because in the first two years of the three-year pregnancy, the physical signs of female trolls will hardly change at all (note 2). Therefore, the tribes who failed to realize this, um, also include us in the past.

, only in the third year, when the female troll’s belly begins to grow, will they be identified as ‘pregnant’ and begin to reduce their labor intensity.”

"It's just because the abundance of food passively and unconsciously reduced the labor intensity of the pregnant female troll, that's why the tribe is in the current situation."

"Indeed, the first two years of pregnancy will not have any impact on the female trolls' athletic abilities. They can run and fight just as well as before."

When the trolls heard what she said, they all nodded in agreement with heavy expressions.

Blade Ya pretended not to see it and continued to preside over the next debate session.

"In other words, the main reason why the fertility rate is so low is that we fail to accurately understand the specific length of pregnancy and provide a stable environment."

"After hearing the conclusions of my previous research, I believe everyone can judge the risks involved."

"If it weren't for this expedition, we would have observed this phenomenon of 'eating' fetuses out of body instinct."

"Then I'll trouble the witch doctor Meiya."

"This applies not only to the dental department, but also to the newly merged Fenai and Nomen. Once all female trolls are confirmed to be pregnant, their production activities during pregnancy must be strictly restricted to ensure that the fetus can be born normally."

"Danger comes from our instinct. Once it determines that the outside world is unsafe or the mother is hungry, it will give priority to ensuring our own survival;"

"Member Meiya, please get to the point as soon as possible. The Rune Council does not advocate this, and we do not want you to use sensationalism to influence everyone's judgment."

Since the content of her speech had nothing to do with formal discussions and was closer to an academic explanation, Meiya just nodded and spoke from her seat.

"Ahem. Our previous preferential treatment for pregnant female trolls in terms of labor intensity was just a subconscious behavior based on 'rich materials', and there was no real restriction;"

"In previous research, we found that the gestation period of female trolls is three years, not one year as we initially thought."

"But safety issues must also be considered. Children under 15 years old seem to be better, at least they can float and swim; but once they reach the sub-adult stage, they almost sink when they encounter water. Although they can sink to the bottom of the river and walk on foot, if

If you exceed the limit of holding your breath and still haven’t reached the shallows, then you can only wait to die.”

"But after my observation, I found that this kind of 'no worries' is only for the pregnant body, but it is very dangerous to the fetus in the belly;"

‘Dong, dong, dong.’ Taking the risk of being punished after returning home, Banya banged the hammer, interrupting Meiya’s performance.

Meiya rolled her eyes vaguely at her husband, stood up and walked to the podium calmly.

"Therefore, during the two-year pregnancy period before this, almost all tribes allowed them to continue high-intensity hunting activities due to lack of cognition;"

"Well, I have also had questions about this, but Meiya has been paying attention to this issue and has recently achieved results. Let her answer your questions."

"It's a pity that nursing children are too fragile to travel far away. They and their mothers can only stay where they are for the time being and receive supplies from there. After they are three years old and their bodies are a little stronger, they can be brought back.

Get an education.”

To be honest, there is nothing to argue about. After confirming the correctness of Meiya's observation, everyone's views are almost the same, and only occasionally there are some differences in thinking.

"Did I explain it clearly enough?"

"Once the body makes this judgment, the fetus in the belly will be regarded as a burden, thus interrupting the supply of nutrients;"

"As for the arrangements for sub-adult trolls and above, as we agreed before departure, all three members of the Yabu, the original Finai, and the original Nomen were broken up and organized into a hunting team, and they will hunt with the new ones at the headquarters as scheduled.

Click to rotate."

"Your Majesty Speaker, how come there are so few little trolls? Is this very different from the situation in our tribe?" asked a witch doctor apprentice who had obviously not experienced hard times.

"I can't imagine how much more we have to suffer in ignorance before we can truly realize this problem."

"As far as I know, there are quite a lot of pregnant female trolls who are unwilling to enjoy this kind of preferential treatment and participate in the hunt as usual."

"In this case, our respected Speaker, I would like to initiate a targeted motion based on my research conclusions. Please allow me to do so."

".Those children should have been born and grown up healthy. We obviously have the ability to raise them and train them to become warriors, hunters, witch doctors, and become our reliable compatriots."

"Therefore, I hope that everyone will treat them the same as we treat our own children. Neither treat them too favorably nor criticize them too harshly. Give them the same food and the same education, and strive to let them fully integrate into the society before they grow up.

Among Us."

"That's roughly the situation. Do you have any questions?"

After expressing her views, Meiya returned to her seat. She looked at the top blade fan with a "vicious" look, as if she was very unhappy with his previous interruption.

'Three years of pregnancy, three years of lactation, and a total of six years for the pregnant female troll to not be fully capable of working, which is actually a burden to the hunting station. In this case, we might as well force them all back.

It is under the unified care of the headquarters.'

His addition was approved by all the witch doctors and became the final conclusion, which was passed in the vote.

~~~~~~~~~~

Note 1: Finai, the three witch doctors of the Normen Department, are old witch doctors who are not systematic. They need to use the meditation method of the tooth department to undergo a transformation and promotion from the old witch doctor to the witch doctor apprentice to the witch doctor before they can become the witch doctors.

Approved new witch doctors. However, since these three are all trolls who can forcibly 'break ranks' in primitive environments, their talents are stronger than most of the new-age apprentices who rely on meditation to break ranks (these apprentices were not able to break ranks in the old era).

You may become a witch doctor by talent), so your stay at the 'apprentice level' will be relatively short.

Note 2: The female troll’s invalid eggs (unfertilized) will be digested and absorbed by the body again, so menstrual bleeding will not occur. Therefore, pregnancy cannot be judged by ‘absence of menstruation’.
