Chapter 219 Senna's Thoughts
"Oh my? I didn't know there are egg dishes with such a complex flavor. What a surprise."
"Well, I feel like something is missing, but is this it?"
“Is this the seasoning from your country, Ye Kai?”
"yes."
Although Eleanor was not an expert in cooking, she was very knowledgeable about food and understood the complex flavors of fish bone soup. This made Ye Kai feel good, but it would be a lie to say that he had no dissatisfaction at all.
In this world, shellfish and seaweed are consumed only in small quantities in coastal and riverside areas, and rarely enter inland areas. Therefore, seasonings like this are rarely seen, but on the contrary, soups made from monster bones have become diverse and popular, and are even classified according to the monsters used.
In any environment, humans seem to be greedy for food. Because he was not used to it, Ye Kai's meatballs did not receive too high a rating, which made him frustrated.
--------------
Senna feeds dried beans to the Senna birds herself.
“These little guys are really smart, Brother Ye Kai.”
"Yeah, really."
Seeing how Ye Kai played with the Senel bird before, she seemed to want to imitate him. The game was that he threw dry beans and Purple rushed to catch them with her mouth. They liked this game very much and played it often.
It was initially intended to acclimate the Senel birds, but they already understood a rough language, so the move seemed redundant.
“Why didn’t Holzlein become more popular?”
“It seems that the Senel birds with the attribute are smarter. And the number of Senel birds with the attribute is limited.”
She explained to Senna how the Sener birds were treated in the Kingdom of Phrygia. Their birth was random. To popularize the Sener birds with attributes, the problem of quantity must be solved. Therefore, even in the homeland of Phrygia, the majority of them were Sener birds without attributes.
They are also found in some places in the south of Holzlein, but compared to horses, the Senel's less usefulness was not considered useful and therefore not kept as a breed.
"So if we can intentionally breed Senel birds, then there won't be any problem with their popularity?"
“Well, I’m a bit of an omnivore who prefers meat, but convenience trumps everything, so it’s no surprise that it’s become so popular.”
Ye Kai does not consider them as livestock, but from a general perspective, they are livestock. Raising them must be convenient.
Even in the original world, not long ago, every farmer would raise one or more Japanese cattle for farming. Since cattle were convenient as labor, raising cattle was a matter of course.
But in the modern world, almost no one raises cattle for farming anymore. Instead, they are replaced by more convenient tractors.
As mentioned above, the breeding and raising of livestock are closely related to convenience. As a practical matter, the Wagyu cattle raised nowadays are almost all for meat. In order for animals and humans to interact and prosper, convenience is indispensable.
“Is conscious reproduction impossible?”
As Sena pondered, a yellow beak brushed past her head.
"Well, I haven't read the details, Tullio."
“I’m not sure, but it’s said that even the mating of species Senel birds is not necessarily successful. Compared with the mating of common Senel birds, the mating between species is much better.”
"What about the mating of the Species Senel and the Common Senel?"
"From a probability perspective, it should be in the middle, right?"
"Tulio, we are not discussing such uncertainties. But...what about the possibility that if the mating between the Senel birds fails, they will give up?"
Ye Kai raised a hypothetical question and thought about it for a while.
"Perhaps. If so, I think it's worth a try. But I'm a little hesitant about using living things for experiments."
"I think it's okay, Senna. After all, they can communicate with us. As long as we get their help, it's fine. Besides, it could be a path to prosperity for them."
"Indeed. I didn't think of such a simple thing. Can I ask them for help?"
The Senel birds all chirped in agreement. It seemed there was room for negotiation.
"And the uncertainty of the mating of the Senel's bird always seems a little unreasonable to me."
This is Ye Kai’s explanation.
It is true that there are differences between birds and mammals. But it has been speculated that mammalian morphs are a genetic trait and exist as a separate species.
It's very likely that this is also true for reptiles. So it sounds a little strange to say that only birds are different. So we think there may be something going on there.
As evidence, the collective behavior of the Senel birds seems to be a clue. Compared with the theory that they formed a group by chance encounter, it is easier to understand that their mother flock is also Senel birds. In other words, in the natural state, the magic attribute is likely to be inherited.
"So what should we find out? There doesn't seem to be much difference in topography, and climatic conditions such as temperature may vary depending on the habitat, but we don't need to consider this. So the most reliable thing is food."
Sena frowned as she imagined it. She didn't seem to notice that Yellow was biting her hand.
“I agree with that.”
"That's great. If Brother Ye Kai can guarantee it, I'll have confidence."
“But one thing must not be forgotten. Because this method of reproduction has never been tried before, it is very cost-effective. We must persevere in our efforts.”
“Yes. Because it has not been done commercially, it is worth trying as a national program.”
This was the first step towards Senna Zem Holzlein, later known as the "Mother of the Attributed Senna Bird".
----------------
Paspierre was the son of a businessman.
His father was a man who left the village and set up stalls to make a living, and his mother was a female warrior who was good at swordsmanship and archery in the village's self-defense force. The two met and got married, and he was born. The family traveled around the villages near Holmt to support the family.
One day, the family mistakenly entered the nearby Holmt and were attacked by a pack of darkhounds, the Natdogs, at night. The mother fought bravely, but there were too many of them and she was eventually exhausted. The father took the attack from the darkhounds, the Natdogs, and let him escape.
Fortunately, Paspiel escaped the danger by climbing a nearby tree. He spent the night in the tree until he met a passing adventurer in the morning and was able to return to Holmut safely.
However, since Paspier had no relatives, he got lost in Holmt and ended up living in a shack in the slums.
