7. The Usefulness of the World Tree
"Your Highness, the people of the Ancient Tree of War are reminded of the old story again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They insisted on picking the leaves of the sacred tree to make amulets, and also said that the temple must provide two hundred sacred leaves every year. ”
A good-looking priestess with long blond hair worried, "They also said that if the temple did not agree, they would pick it themselves." ”
"What do they want my leaves for?" Zhong Huan was alert: "Since I can remember, my leaves have never fallen. Every leaf is precious to me. ”
Knowing that her master did not understand the customs of the Wood Elves, Ehna explained in the spirit link, "The leaves of the World Tree contain the power of regeneration and are the ingredients used to make elven cookies. ”
Make elf cookies out of leaves?
Zhong Huan couldn't help but shudder: the taste of the wood elves is so unique, even their own gods, they want to taste what it tastes like.
Wait a minute, why is this scene so familiar? Wood elves should not be related to the Chinese in terms of blood, right?
After explaining the habits of the wood elves to Zhong Huan, Aishna turned to the blonde priestess and said, "Go and tell them that although the master has many leaves, there is no superfluous one. ”
"What if they rob it? We are outnumbered, and we can't protect Lord Shenmu from harm. Do you want to bring back all the treants on the perimeter? ”
"Don't worry, my Dina." Ehina smiled and opened her arms to everyone: "Good news for you, our master has woken up." From now on, he will officially take over the city. Cast the blessings of the World Tree over the head of every Wood Elf. ”
Eshna always misinterpreted my meaning, and Zhong Huan thought a little depressed: How can I have so much time to manage the city? I'm very busy, I have to eat and sleep every day to watch beautiful women, as for cultivation? At that time, Shenmu carried out the work independently, and Zhong Huan did not need to worry about it.
Therefore, even if Zhong Huan takes power, the last person in charge of this matter is still Ashina. Her careful thinking, Zhong Huan knows it.
However, he did not intend to care about this, and there was nothing wrong with Eichna's struggle for power. As the high priest of the temple, it is right not to fight for the moment, and it is complete stupidity not to fight for the power of the moment.
Zhong Huan, as the spiritual leader of Shenmu City, wants people to mix with him, and it is not right to rely on grace or oppression alone. You have to allow your subordinates to be careful, allow yourself to eat meat, and also allow others to drink soup.
After all, the limits of the productive forces of the feudal era determined everyone's ********.
Ehna pulled up the tiger skin as a banner, and the other priestesses did not know why, and cheered one after another: "Great, I have long seen that the people of the ancient tree of war are not pleasing to the eye." Next, it's time for them to realize who is the true master of Shenmu City! ”
"Everybody be quiet and listen to me. Next is an order from Lord Shenmu," Aichna's expression became very strange, and she took a deep breath and said, "Lord Shenmu said that he had been asleep for too long and wanted to take a bath now. ”
Zhong Huan was not happy to let others do it, and the cleaning work had to be left to the priestess.
Think about it, a group of beautiful female technicians, uh, no, it's the priestess around Zhong Huan to wash and scrub, how wonderful the scene should be?
It would be even more interesting if you could see some look of shame on the priestess's face.
The priestess, who is usually high up and does not touch the fireworks, is forced to roll up her sleeves and work as a cleaning lady. The surrounding elves all cast strange glances, and the priestesses were silent, and could only continue their work with tears in their eyes.
Hey, hey, it's not to help you masturbate, what's so good? The rational personality complained in his head.
"Hooray!" The sudden cheers interrupted Zhong Huan's fantasy, and he saw a group of priestesses with fierce eyes surrounding him. That look looked like he had a bad premonition, and the priestesses seemed to be a little?
And every priestess had an extra knife in their hands, even Ashina.
"Are you going to give me a pedicure, or are you going to peel it for corns?" Zhong Huan hurriedly asked Asina, whose eyes were shining.
Eshna smiled, she didn't care about using the spirit link, but said directly: "I have long seen that the moss on the master's body is not pleasing to the eye. In the past, because the host didn't speak, we couldn't make our own decisions. Now it's different, the owner wants to take a bath. Eshna made sure to shave every trace of moss clean. ”
I almost forgot that the elves not only have a habit of cleanliness, but also a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder. Ninety-nine years have left them facing dusty, moss-covered Jianmu, and the resentment in the hearts of each priestess has broken through the sky.
The priestesses around them nodded in unison, and the posture seemed to have been rehearsed countless times.
But soon, Zhong Huan felt that Ehina had ulterior motives, and she was not just trying to help herself take a bath.
Large chunks of moss were carefully shoveled off the trunks of the trees. Immediately afterwards, someone washed the moss and put it in a special small box for collection. Even the muddy water that had been washed with moss was collected.
Dozens of priestesses were busy all day, and less than a tenth of the area was cleaned. They take care of the moss with great care far more than they do with the building itself.
Eshna's explanation for this is that the moss on the World Tree is precious, and they are soaked in the power of the World Tree; It has a wide range of uses and is an indispensable ingredient for making elf cookies.
As for the dust attached to the World Tree, it is not dust either.
The World Tree is a sacred tree, and it naturally has the ability not to be stained with dust. The so-called dust is actually the impurities discharged from the body of the World Tree, and it is also what humans call elf dust.
Elf dust is also one of the ingredients used to make elf cookies. After listening to Eshna's introduction, Zhong Huan had only one thought left: your sister's! Whoever mentions elf cookies in the future, I will be in a hurry!
After twilight had fallen, Jianmu's entire body radiated a soft light.
Ehna curled up among the dense foliage of the building, where she rested at night. Ever since she was forcibly infused with power by Zhong Huan to make her grow, Ashina has had an inexplicable attachment to Jianmu.
In the past, Zhong Huan was asleep, and Ekhina lived in a tree, and he didn't feel it, so it didn't matter. Now that he's awake, there's a pretty woman lying on his stomach, and he always feels weird.
In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Zhong Huan could only find words: "In addition to moss and dust, what other treasures are on the World Tree?" ”
"The World Tree is full of treasures!" Eshna straightened up, and she replied solemnly, "Especially the bark." Every 500 years, the World Tree changes its bark. The shedding bark is the treasure of the elves, in addition to making elven cookies. The human race is also eager for the bark, and they say that the bark of the World Tree can detoxify all kinds of poisons and rejuvenate men. ”
In Eichna's commentary, Zhong Huan heard a few key words: full of treasures, detoxification, and revitalization. Your sister's, none of these words seem to be able to die properly, okay!
"Eshina, tell me honestly if the World Tree of Eternity was eaten by the Wood Elves."
