Chapter 45: The Dwarves Visit
After dinner.
The Green Elder took the three men to a place to spend the night.
Leng Yun looked at the wonderful scene in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his bright eyes: "Stay here tonight?"
The place looks like a large group of ponds with overlapping ridges and criss-crossing paths. The pond is divided into several pieces, like a field in a farmland. The water in the pool is very clear and slightly green. There is a plant growing in the pond. Its leaves are as big as a bathtub, and the flowers of the car are angry. In the middle of the flower is a soft platform.
The Green Elves replied, "This is the Green Elves' Sleeping Lake. This flower is called a sleeping flower. It has the effect of soothing the soul and healing wounds. ”
Leng Yun showed a hint of doubt, "Sleeping flowers? I've seen sleeping flowers in the library." It is a third-level miracle herb. The pollen of sleeping flowers has the value of refining gold and medicine. It is a type of hypnosis, very powerful and most useful. If you pass by a sleeping flower without taking precautions, you can easily fall into a lethargy. However, I know that sleeping flowers can only grow to the size of a person at most. This ......"
"Dear guest, you are right. Dormant flowers are not uncommon, and they are often picked in the wild. However, the sleeping flowers of the Green Elders are different. Green Spirit confidently explains: "Every sleeping flower here is a special variety that has been transformed. ”
"Special breeds?"
"Yes, the sleeping flowers in the lake, first of all, reduce the number of sleeping pollen, not only calming the mind, but also not causing excessive sleep, but also magically synthesized with several plants, with different properties, beneficial for living beings. In addition, the Sleep Lake itself is nurtured by the mother tree, which is pregnant with vigorous vitality. ”
"What will happen then?"
"When creatures sleep in the Sleeping Lake, they not only get the best rest, but they also extract the life force of the Sleeping Lake to care for their bodies, thus effectively speeding up the farming rate. Another important function of it is to heal wounds. If a severe injury leaves behind a black disease that cannot be effectively treated, it can only be repaired with several times more nutrients. In addition, mental damage that is difficult to repair with ordinary liquid medicine has a good therapeutic effect. ”
"So good?" Du Rongrong smelled the fragrance of flowers and couldn't wait. "It's a blessing for the Green Elves to live in the Emerald City!"
The Green Spirit Guardian shook his head: "No, the power of the Sleeping Lake is limited, and it is far from satisfying the 2 million population of the Emerald City. If there is no serious injury, or a large sum of money is paid, every green spirit person has the right to sleep in the lake for half a year. Of course, the higher the status, the more usufruction. ”
Leng Yun said: "Is it really okay to open up to foreigners?"
"Don't worry, the sleeping lake hasn't been closed yet, and there are still some foreigners in Yushan, Mu Li, who will heal with the sleeping flowers. This is not a free service. These fees are extremely expensive and unavailable to the average person. You are honored guests, so the king has a decree of complete freedom!"
Du Rongrong sighed: "Your life is so comfortable, I want to be a green spirit!"
Zhang Tong quipped: "You might as well recognize the Jade King as Michelle Platini or Godmother, maybe other people will like you." ”
"Hmph, that's a beautiful idea!" Du Rongrong said, "I won't leave you... What about you," he said, adding, "I also need to protect the wood so that it doesn't damage it everywhere!"
Leng Yun said helplessly: "Stop bickering, haven't you experienced the magical dream flower yet?"
"That's right!"
The green elf said, "Pick any one and sleep in it!"
Zhang Tong, Leng Yun and Du Rongrong stepped on the leaves and chose a big and fat sleeping flower. They lie carefully in the soft part of the middle of the flower, like a Simmons bed. Bursts of fresh floral scents poured in, more comfortable than magic tobacco. This particular scent imbues the sense of smell, penetrates the lungs, penetrates every bronchial tube, and diffuses throughout the body, making it feel like falling into the clouds and floating in the air. Finally, they rush into the brain, blurring their consciousness.
An unprecedented sense of calm envelops the body and mind.
Up to 30 seconds, several people fall into a deep sleep.
The petals are collected one by one, slowly gathered together, and revert to the shape of the buds. People were wrapped tightly. Eventually, the buds slowly sink into the pale green water. The lake undulates not from the inside out, but from the outside to the inside. The life force gathers around and nourishes the creatures in between.
Zhang Tong slept deeper and deeper. When he reached a certain level, he suddenly had a strange feeling. He didn't feel the presence of his limbs and body at all. All of his senses were lost. However, his consciousness gradually became clear from a state of confusion. It's weird.
This is an unprecedented ideology.
Zhang Tong didn't know how to describe it.
Because normal people can't understand it.
It's a feeling of not being self-aware. Thinking is no longer self-centered, but starts from a more macro, objective perspective. Zhang Tong felt that he had become a forest. He felt like he had permeated every leaf, every stem, and every blade of grass and become one with nature.
Zhang Tong can clearly experience the pulse of nature and feel the laws of life.
That's great.
Is this the ideology of high-level life?
I don't know how long it has been.
Zhang Tong's consciousness atrophied sharply, returned to nature, disappeared macroscopic consciousness, increased self-awareness, entered a deep sleep, and finally became fully awake.
Open your eyes.
A blue sky came into view. A few large white birds skimmed over our heads. The lake is a bit cool.
"Am I awake?"
Zhang Tong sat up, and two flower buds bloomed beside him. Du Rongrong and Leng Yun also woke up. They do not wake violently at the beginning of sleep. The brain and spirit are more active. Every pore, every hair, and every cell seems to be rested and therefore full of vitality.
"Hint: Reduced by [Sleep Lake] Farming speed, gain 15% extra experience in 10 days."
The spirit of green is not an exaggeration at all. The vitality in the sleeping lake really helps to increase the rate of farming.
If only I had slept a few more times.
The Green Spirit Man has been standing by the lake and waiting, "The Emerald King has prepared breakfast, please come and enjoy it!"
Du Rongrong couldn't believe it. He felt like he was running for emperor.
Is it really necessary to be so enthusiastic?
"Alright, let's get started!"
Zhang Tong, Leng Yun and Du Rongrong refused to accept anything. It doesn't matter if the green spirit is sincere or for some other reason. With the defense of Emerald City and the strength of the Green Spirit, if they really wanted to have irregular intentions, the three of them had no hope of escaping. So whatever it is, just let it go and make good use of it.
A few sleeping lake guards whispered.
"How much energy does the sleep lake store when humans sleep?"
"Almost 30 times!"
"Oh my God!"
"It is said that the stronger the race, the more energy is consumed, and the Terrans are obviously weak......"
"Thankfully, there were a few people, otherwise it would have been a big loss!"
"I really don't know what the king is thinking!"
No fruit in the morning. It is useless to eat more in 24 hours. However, the Emerald King ordered the others to bring other rare and delicious food to fill the three of them to their heart's content.
Three days later.
Zhang Tong has been mixing food and drinks in the Emerald City. His daily tasks were: eating, visiting, and sleeping. The Jade King even asked people to visit the Institute of Life, visit the library of the Emerald City, and even let Zhang Tong obtain some basic information about life science and technology that money can't buy.
The Terran base is weak and has not been able to produce results for decades. However, there are goblins in the mercenary union. While the elves are primarily based on mechanical technology, they are also involved in some magical synthesis, biological modification, and genetic engineering. Only this Green Spirit data is suitable for their research.
The Green Elders were as enthusiastic as ever, and even when they mixed food and drink, they didn't show displeasure.
This quality is not comparable to that of humans.
Zhang Tong really wanted to stay in the Emerald City for a year and a half.
Only this idea was shattered by a group of uninvited guests.
On the 5th, a group of dwarves visited the Emerald City.
A few days ago, Zhang Tong was anxious to find the dwarves as soon as possible and convince them to help break the seal on the glacier sword. After spending a few days in the Emerald City, Zhang Tong began to pray that the dwarves would come later so that they could enjoy the benefits for a few more days. However, contrary to expectations, the dwarves came earlier.
The Emerald King sent out a notice, and the three of them drank the dwarven language potion in advance, and then immediately came to the hall, a group of people in armor, unshaven, dirty, and smelly, with a large hammer in their hands, arguing with the green spirits about something, including the dwarves' voices, like a series of detonators.
The dwarf said angrily, "Green Elves, you have been crushing the dwarves for many years. Are you not satisfied?Do you think dwarves are easy to bully?!"
Zhang Tong was startled by a voice, thinking that the dwarves and green elves would fight.
The three men cautiously walked in.
Zhang Tong's gaze fell on the dwarf who spoke. He is about 1.4 meters tall. Although he is short, he weighs more than normal. Dwarves have a tendency to grow horizontally. His muscles are explosive, and he works with the hammer in his hand, which makes people dare not doubt the destructive power of the dwarves.
The talent of the dwarves is forged, the armor and weapons are extremely sophisticated, the hair of the dwarves is very developed, especially the head, the beard and hair are fiery red, the messy beard covers two-thirds of the face, and the two eyes are not large, but they are full of intimidation and have a sense of majesty.
The Emerald King floated in the air and said in an indifferent tone, "Master Bronze Beard, this price has not been seen for decades. "You also have the right to buy. The feed and medicine of the green old man are of the best quality. You can't buy them except jadeite. “。
The short bronze beard, with round eyes like cannibalism, looked at the Jade King for a long time, and suddenly there was something like a deflated ball, "Jade King, we are neighbors who are hundreds of years old, to be honest, something has happened in the mine recently, so the yield is not very good, you see ......"
The Jade King didn't speak, and suddenly his eyes fell on Zhang Tong and the three who had just come in.
