Chapter 404 The Reasons They Love Her
Moreover, the witch doctors have a firm grasp on all tribes and beast cities. For difficult and complicated illnesses, you have to ask them repeatedly before they will be willing to help.
If viewed from the perspective of a nurse, Ruan Xiyue would think this is a serious problem. It's not like she's being denied animal cores or compensation.
However, if we look at this issue from the perspective of the civil service, then it becomes clear.
The Witch Hospital needs all orcs to respect the Witch Hospital staff, not to see them as weak females, but as divine messengers who save lives.
Therefore, all orcs must always be vigilant, for these witch doctors have the ability to control their lifespan at any time.
Human nature is very wild. Without intimidation or threats, it is difficult to make all beasts maintain long-term trust and respect for a group of interests through education alone.
After changing her perspective, Ruan Xiyue was able to understand the logic behind all the choices made by the Witch Hospital.
Xia Weier looked at Ruan Xiyue, who had suddenly realized something and whose eyes were once again filled with faith and wisdom, and couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her calf.
"They are confident that their descendants, who have a higher affinity for wood-based abilities, will definitely surpass you. Although those children have been exposed to the knowledge of witch doctors, I don't think they will be more capable than you."
Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes at Xia Weier.
Everyone tacitly knew that Ruan Xiyue's so-called concoctions of herbs and medicinal juices were actually unrecognizable to her.
Therefore, Ruan Xiyue is not afraid that these students may surpass her, because from the root of the prescription and the herbs, she has found a low-end version with more than ten times the reduced efficacy.
However, Ruan Xiyue asked Duoduo to find a lower-cost version in the first place, not because she wanted to suppress the Witch Hospital, but because there really was no equivalent herb.
Duoduo promised her that when she gave birth to cubs, she might be rewarded with the seeds of these herbs, but she has yet to see them.
Everything is a matter of timing and fate.
Ruan Xiyue quickly explained, "I didn't hold back because I didn't have the original recipe myself."
Xia Weier nodded, believing that Ruan Xiyue certainly hadn't thought that much about it back then.
Xia Weier continued, "Previously, the Beast King actually restrained the Witch Doctors and the Priests to a great extent. He did not allow the Witch Doctors to keep the herbs for themselves or to over-collect them. Nor did he allow the Priests to price rune-related items too high."
"Although the former Beast King treated me badly, his achievements cannot be erased. I must suppress them."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Because the changes I'm about to bring will likely have a significant impact on both the Witch Doctors' Hospital and the Priests' Hospital."
Jiu Chen's fingers, which were pressing on Ruan Xiyue's temples, paused slightly.
He looked at Ruan Xiyue and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I'm on your side. Because what you did is beneficial to the vast majority of orcs. It harms a minority of interest groups. But that minority group has monopolized a lot of resources for a long time."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "In this way, most of the lower-level beastmen will naturally support us."
Xia Weier looked at Ruan Xiyue and reminded her, "But don't forget, the Snow Rabbit Tribe, the Bright Crane Tribe, the Witch Doctor's Hospital, and the Priest's Court of Zhaonan Beast City are located in four corners of the entire Beast God Continent, forming a square."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "They will definitely join forces, but I will definitely find another way to undermine their confidence before they do so."
Ruan Xiyue instructed, "You still need to improve your ability level as soon as possible. The human level ability level alone is not enough."
Xia Weier and Jiu Chen nodded, and Xia Weier continued to explain to Ruan Xiyue: "It's actually difficult to comment on whether the Witch Hospital is right or wrong, because most of them are female. If they don't use methods to consolidate the Witch Hospital's position, their living conditions will become very difficult."
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips: "So, we still need to increase the female birth rate. Only when more and better females are born and they are in a high position can we maintain our voice. I don't mean to blame them at all. If I were in their shoes, I might not have done any better than them. In fact, I might have done something even more extreme."
“I don’t know other females, but I know myself. Witch doctors often disappear from witch hospitals, and they can’t search for them openly or even show weakness.”
"If it were me, and my witch doctor went missing somewhere, more than half of the surrounding tribes would die. Either help me find our lost witch doctor, or none of us will have a good time."
Ruan Xiyue shrugged: "The witch hospital is still too kind."
Xia Weier pursed his lips, couldn't help but chuckle, and pinched Ruan Xiyue's calf.
Ruan Xiyue glared at Xia Weier: "What? Is something wrong?"
Xia Weier nodded: "If it were me, I would have done the same. But the Beast King will send a guard team to keep an eye on the Witch Doctor's movements. It's not that they don't want to, but that they can't. They haven't pinpointed which beastmen were responsible, so they can't use the Mind-Asking Array and can't find the culprit at all."
“The cost of doing evil is low. When a murderer kills a witch doctor, good orcs need to find evidence to bring bad orcs to justice. But good orcs are not allowed to retaliate with evil against evil, otherwise other orcs will have a handle against them, and what is just will become evil.” Ruan Xiyue understood what Xia Weier meant.
Jiu Chen couldn't help but defend the Priests' Council: "The Priests' Council isn't all bad. Some high priests, while they may have their own selfish motives, are mostly concerned for the well-being of all the beastmen. It's just that some high-ranking high priests have too many desires."
Ruan Xiyue lay on Jiu Chen's lap and reached out to pinch Jiu Chen's cheek.
“You don’t need to explain, I understand these principles. I’ve observed that the Priests’ Court is actually divided into three different factions based on their beliefs.”
Jiu Chen nodded, his amber-green eyes shining as he stared at Ruan Xiyue.
“I thought you hadn’t noticed what was going on at the priesthood… I didn’t realize you were so observant.”
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, helplessly saying, "I may seem a bit lazy usually, but I think about a lot of things. In the Priest's Court, your master's lineage can be considered the faction that serves the country and the people. However, the elder from the Priest's Court who came today, their lineage should be considered the faction of ambitious people."
“Your brother Jiu Mu seems to be from your lineage, but I feel he’s closer to another lineage. That lineage… well, based on the information Qiu Ran has gathered for me, they seem to be a humble, self-protective faction.”
Jiu Chen frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.
Ruan Xiyue added, “Of course, there are priests from poor orc tribes in your faction who serve the country and its people. However, they are relatively few, and they probably joined you because they couldn’t catch the eye of the ambitious faction.”
