Chapter 31: Each Shows His Powers (5)
Elves are a beautiful race, and both men and women are born very much in line with human aesthetics. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info Therefore, one of the important factors why elves are famous on the continent is their beauty.
The country of the elves is called the Elven Kingdom, and most of the elves live in the great forests of the south. Where they can live a self-sufficient life away from human harassment. The ruler of the Elven Kingdom is called the Elven Queen, but it is the High Priest who holds the highest power. All the elves are devout believers, and their faith is not in the Cult of Light. Their god is Elune, the god of the moon, the creator of the legendary elves.
Of course, no one has ever been able to prove this. There are many people who believe that elves are actually branches of humans. The reason is that elves can produce offspring with humans, but not with other races. And the offspring of this half-blood, those who do not show elven characteristics are indistinguishable from humans. And those who have elven pointed ears and green hair are collectively referred to as half-elves.
Elves are an exclusive race, so they usually don't like other races, and they hate humans even more. Because of their beauty, there were often slave traders who captured elven slaves and sold them to the human world.
The phenomenon of dozens of elves appearing at once like Essis can only be found in ancient books that have been piled up with thick dust, and have been seen in the distant time of the Sun King. But to be honest, among these dozens of elves, there are only three pure-blood elves, and the others are all half-elves living in the human world.
Here, I want to tell you that you must not despise the elves because they are beautiful. Their force is also leveraged.
There are generally two fighting classes in the elves, the Ranger and the Sword Dancer. Awarded to those who excel in bowing and swordsmanship, respectively. The swordsmanship of the elves is also famous in the mainland.
But Joseph didn't value the fighting power of the elves. He values the elves' research on medical skills. Compared to those quacks on the mainland who only know phlebotomy. The elven clan's medical skills can be said to be hundreds of years advanced.
Due to the large southern forest, it is also home to various magical beasts. The elves live here, and of course they have to face many difficulties and dangers. In addition, environmental factors are also an important reason. Miasma everywhere, poisonous plants and animals scattered everywhere, etc. Threatening the life of the elves at all times.
Under such conditions, the elves have finally formed their herbalism after countless generations of research. A variety of different herbs that grow in the forest are used to treat various symptoms such as external injuries, internal injuries, and poisoning.
If the medical technology of the elves is introduced into the human world, it will be a leap forward in the medical development of the human world. It is also of great significance for war.
You must know that the battlefield mortality rate in the era of cold weapons is actually not high. Most of the casualties occurred after the war. Many of the soldiers suffered minor injuries that could have been restored with simple treatment, but many died of wound infections. Non-combat casualties remain high. This is also a big reason why most armies are looking for a decisive battle, not a war of attrition.
If we have the right medical knowledge and support, we can greatly reduce casualties and improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
Therefore, when Rosaline agreed to Joseph's request, Joseph quickly arranged for Rosaline and the elves to be in the military hospital of Essis, where they were responsible for the treatment of casualties.
In fact, Allen has long wanted to establish a real medical team, but unfortunately the local doctors are not strong, resulting in the medical team is actually a fake selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and can only rely on the name to provide some psychological effects. Now with the addition of these professional doctors, it can be said that his name has been truly realized.
Both the dwarves and the elves can be considered technical victories, but the remaining barbarians, these natural warriors, cannot go to war due to agreement, and can only be reduced to coolies. Do some logistical support work such as transportation.
However, due to the brute force of the barbarians, one of the top three, but also played an excellent labor.
After the tasks of the three clans were assigned, they immediately took action.
Dwarves and craftsmen gathered in the outer city, working overtime to build counterweight stone throwers, and tall and strong barbarians set up carts to transport supplies and the wounded back and forth. The elves prepared a variety of wound medicines to treat the wounded soldiers.
Jack sat in his bakery, silently watching the barbarians coming and going outside, and the faint sound of fighting in the distance, like a spider's web clinging to his ears, lingered and irritating.
"Jack, get me ten pieces of black bread." A bearded middle-aged man limped into the bakery.
Jack glanced at him, stood up, and picked up the prepared brown bread and put it in the bag.
"Paul, how did you buy so much today?"
The man named Paul, who was obviously familiar with Jack, went into the bakery and found a stool for himself to sit down.
"I'm ready to apply, so I'm going to buy a little more to keep at home. Save my mother-in-law and children and go out again. You also know that there is a war going on outside, and the security in the city is not as good as it used to be. I have to pay attention to it. ā
The black bread was hard and large, five in a bag, divided into two bags. Jack handed the bag to Paul and said, "Paul, why do you want to get involved in the war?" The sky fell, and there was a tall man on top of it. ā
Paul took the bag, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said slowly: "Jack, your business is okay now." ā
"Okay."
"That's good."
"What about you? What have you been doing since you came out of the army? ā
Paul smiled wryly and said, "What do you think I can do now?"
Jack was silent, he knew that Paul's leg was lame, and most importantly, he could no longer do hard work after being lame. "Then how do you live."
Speaking of this, Paul's smile on his face was no longer bitter, but a little lighter.
"You were discharged early, so I don't know. I left the army only after the battle between the Duke and George VI. The Duke was kind-hearted, and he knew that we disabled people would not be able to live after leaving the army, so he arranged for us to work in the government. Do some sweeping, look at the door or something. Although I can't earn a few dollars, at least my life is guaranteed.
I used the pension issued by the army to renovate the house, and now it doesn't leak anymore, and I also repaired a small garden.
Now my two sons are almost 10 years old as well. I'm going to let the boss be a blacksmith, he's more honest, and I'm afraid he'll suffer when dealing with people. The second child is smarter, and I want him to be an apprentice at the Academy of Athens. ā
"That's pretty good."
"yes, that's good."

The two fell silent for a while, and Jack broke the silence first and asked, "So you're going to apply?" ā
Paul stood up and held the two bags in his arms. Limped out, leaving behind a sentence "Essis has given me hope in life, and I can't just watch it end." ā
Looking at Paul's figure leaving little by little, Jack didn't say anything more.
He stood still for a moment, then closed the door to the bakery. (To be continued.) )
