Chapter 66 The Three Rules for Cutting a Rabbit
Gretel stared at the priests.

The priests stared at him.

More than a dozen people stood below, talking and making noises; one person stood above, clenching his fists and waving his arms.Don't look at the number of people, just look at the momentum, just like a leopard crawling on a tree, and a group of wolves blocking the tree, screaming and wanting to tear the leopard to pieces.

...Well, it's still a baby leopard.

Can't beat it at all.

Gretel compared his own strength with that of the opponent, and came to a sad conclusion.

"Cough, everyone be quiet." Elder Erwin watched the farce until now, and finally stopped the oak stick and stopped.He is old and has the highest priest rank. Everyone gave him face, and they all quieted down and stepped aside.Elder Erwin beckoned to Gretel and said pleasantly:
"Little Gretel, I only taught you a few days, and I didn't have time to tell you some details. - We are the servants of the god of nature, we respect nature, protect nature, and be friends with nature, plants, and animals. We hurt innocent people. animals that are against our beliefs."

what?
And this one?

The god of nature didn't tell me that?

...Oh, yes, I, the divine enlightener, is a fake...

Gretel broke a cold sweat.He thought hard, raised a finger carefully, and made a suggestion:

"Then... don't catch wild rabbits, you raise them yourself?"

"Gret!!!"

Elder Erwin drank lowly.This kid is endless!If you want to cut rabbits so much, go to the Necromancer!
He tried to show a fierce look, but Gretel was unmoved and spread his hands:
"You can't catch wild ones, and you can't raise them by yourself... Then there is only one way. Elder, you can get hundreds of corpses, and I will take dozens of them by myself, and I will probably be proficient..."

"Grey Ray Te!"

Why did I accept him as a disciple in the first place!He loves dissecting corpses so much, he is clearly a good necromancer!
Elder Erwin gritted his teeth secretly.However, this time and again, Gretel has figured out the whole theory, and looked at him without fear:
"You are protecting nature, right? It's a natural ecology, right? - On the grasslands, the sheep will eat up the grass, and the wolves will have more sheep to eat. When there are fewer sheep, the wolves will starve to death. New pastures grow and more sheep are raised, is this a balance?"

That's right...it's true.Ecological balance or something, concise and to the point, does encapsulate what they fear and want to protect.But I always feel that there is a trap behind... Elder Erwin frowned:
"What do you want to say?"

"The flocks and rabbits raised by humans rarely affect the natural ecology!" Gretel asked confidently:

"Even if you raise a few more and kill a few more, the impact on nature will be much smaller than that of wild animals. In order to study healing techniques, killing a few to practice your hand would violate the principle of protecting nature and your beliefs? "

"But……"

Most of them were still hesitant.Before asking how to practice bone-setting, the pastor named William asked loudly:
"Even so, is it okay to hurt animals at will?"

"Of course not!" Gretel answered confidently.Without waiting for William to refute, he took the lead in asking:
"Servant of the god of nature, can you kill animals?"

"Yes." Elder Erwin took over.He leaned forward step by step, leaning on an oak staff, his silver beard gleaming under the bonfire:
"We can all kill animals for our own food, to hunt for the fur we wear, to protect people and remove threats, and this is justified.

- But those who kill animals, cut down trees or shrubs, and destroy nature for the sake of show of force, for fun, and for all unnecessary reasons, will lose the power bestowed by the god of nature. "

He paused lightly.Gretel immediately followed up with his words.
"Then do you think it is necessary to harm animals in order to practice healing skills?"

The elder hesitated.Gretel stopped giving him a chance and continued:
"I think it is necessary. First, the healers must go through such exercises to hone their skills; second, we are not doing it for our own self-interest; It's to follow strict guidelines—"

He took a step forward, stepped on the edge of the stone, raised one hand high.The five fingers stretched out, and under the eyes of the public, the first finger was bent:
"The first rule, substitution. Substitute rabbit legs for living rabbits, rabbits for sheep, sheep for monkeys—simply put, substituting non-sentient material for living animals, and small animals for large animals."

Under the light of the fire, Grete's brows were bright and high.He continued to bend his second finger and talked eloquently:

"The second criterion, reduce. Try to use fewer animals to get the same number of exercises; or use the same number of animals to get more exercises. In this way, although we can't reduce the total number of injuries, at least we can hurt Fewer animals."

"Sounds reasonable..." The servants of the god of nature whispered.Several people wanted to refute it, but in the face of this strict and systematic principle, they couldn't find anything to say for a while.Gretel looked solemn and bent his last finger:
"The third principle, optimization. Treat them as kindly as possible to avoid or lessen their suffering, such as giving them as much anesthesia as possible before breaking a bone — or, providing the animals with suitable living conditions that allow them to try their best to Have a better time."

"After all, you still have to hurt them!" Joanna, the beautiful priest, stepped forward and retorted loudly.With an eagle chirp, she raised her arm high, and a goshawk came and stopped on her arm.Joanna stroked the feathers of the goshawk, her face softened for a moment, and immediately became sharp again:
"So many reasons, so many rules, just to make yourself a little better!"

"You're right." Gretel nodded solemnly.He looked directly into Joanna's flaming eyes and slowly admitted:

"We broke their bones, cut open their stomachs, pulled out their spinal cords - not for torture, not for slaughter. We clearly knew that these animals were suffering in place of us humans, in place of the patients we were treating. Suffering. We are grateful for their devotion and remember their grace..."

Joanna's face slowly softened.On the arm, the goshawk screeched softly and wiped her cheek with its beak.

Gretel lowered his arms.He stood upright, and bowed deeply to the audience below and to the animals that were about to be dissected by them:
"Finally, in order not to cause waste. After the dissection is completed, we can still eat them, and there is nothing left."

Joanna was startled.There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and even the goshawk on her arm flapped its wings in a funny way.On a stone not far away, the boy straightened his back and raised his voice:

"Your questions are too complicated! It's very late today, let's talk about some simple, life-saving tips!"
