Chapter Ninety-Eight: Garden City
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Garden City
What kind of world is under the rise of nations? Through the battle with pirates, Gangziman thought that this virtual world was just in the era of cold weapons like the big countries, and now there were elves here, could it be that magic and alchemy in Western fantasy also exist here? And the elves' talent in magic and bows and arrows made Gangzi nervous in the face of the two elves.
The two elves boarded the ship smoothly, and when they saw that it was a group of strange-looking people who had never seen a race before, they showed curious eyes in their uneasiness. But the unique character of the elves did not make them show their crampedness, seeing Gangzi surrounded by all sailors, an elf wearing a triangular captain's hat quickly took a few steps forward, elegantly touched his chest with his right hand and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for your assistance to the Morning Glory in times of crisis, I am Claude Bucknar, the captain of the Morning Glory, you can call me Bucknar, may the Lord of the Sea always favor you." ”
The auxiliary system for the rise of the state was still working, and Gangzi could easily understand the other party's language, but he did not answer immediately, but carefully studied the other party, thinking in his heart how to start contact with these natives.
Gangzi's silence made Bucknar confused about his attitude, and the powerful weapons added to the mystery of the ship and made him worry about his future. Bucknar raised his head slightly and secretly looked at the owner of the ship, dressed in a cyan power suit, half of his body was shiny fish scale armor, wearing a thin sword at his waist, yellow skin and black hair, and oval ears, he was a race he had never heard of, but his appearance was so close to the elves, could it be a subspecies of the elves?
"Dear benefactor, is there anything you need Bucknar to do?" Bucknar continued.
"Hello Bucknar, it is the responsibility of every sailor to help each other on the sea, we are travelers from afar, we have lost our course in a storm, and we have many questions I would like you to answer." Gangzi did the same.
Bucknar had a surprised expression: "You and your ship actually experienced the storm of the other day!" That was the test of the Lord of the Sea! You are truly a formidable navigator, and I salute you on behalf of the Morning Glory and I will do my best to answer your questions. ”
"Hahaha, let's talk to my captain's room, I have a nice bottle of red wine, I hope you like it."
As Bucknar described, a map and an overview of the world slowly sketched out in Gangzi's mind.
The continent is called the Emerald Continent, and the sea is called the Emerald Ocean. The races on the continent include elves, dwarves, orcs, and trolls, and as the continent continues to be developed, more and more races are discovered. All races in history have the same record, that is, they are not the natives of this world, but their ancestors migrated from other planes and settled in this Emerald Continent. However, the aboriginal humans of the Emerald Continent are nowhere to be found, and only some relics left by humans from ancient times show that they once ruled the world.
It seems that this world is still improving, and the traces of human beings that Bucknar said should be the traces left by the world maker when he built this world, Gangzi pondered in his heart, so that he can't say that he is a human race, otherwise the return of the aborigines is likely to cause a big wave in the Jade Continent, looking at Bucknar's expression, he should not have associated himself with humans, maybe the world maker did not leave his own image, which also gave Gangzi a chance to confuse the past.
"I'm Han, from the other side of the Emerald Ocean, I didn't expect that there is a continent on this side of the ocean, I love to travel to appreciate the style of different civilizations, Baknar, are you willing to take us to your elven kingdom."
"It is my pleasure to serve you, guests from afar, and I think our Elven King will be very happy to summon you as well."
_________ during the voyage____________________
"This ...... This, this is the elven kingdom? ”
After three days of sailing, the Tomato followed Bucknar's galley Morning Glory to the Elven Kingdom.
On the way, Gangzi constantly replenishes the world tree that soars into the sky through the film and television works and novels he has been exposed to before, as well as the majestic elf city built on the world tree.
But when you really arrive at the port of the elven kingdom and look at the elven kingdom introduced by Bucknar, Gangzi was surprised, and your small town of thousands of people dares to call it a kingdom! It's too much of a cadre for the king, isn't it?
Looking at Gangzi's surprised face, Bucknar thought that he was shocked by this beautiful city, and said with great pride: "This is our great elven kingdom, at the beginning, our country only had a few hundred people, but with the discovery of more and more elven tribes in the forest, our kingdom is becoming stronger and stronger. ”
System Refresh! This world is really not perfect, and it is still under construction a little bit, it is understandable that there is such a small pocket-sized country, and the disappointed Gangzi muttered the regret in his heart and followed behind Bucknar.
Of course, treehouses still exist, elves like to be close to nature, houses are built on trees, and then use rattan bridges to link up large trees to form an elf city, and then they transplant a large number of flowers and plants to dot it, which looks like a hanging garden from below. The animals of the forest are just below the city, living their lives unaffected, and the birds are shuttling among them, constantly singing or dancing to ask for delicious food from the elves.
Following the rattan ladder, Gangzi walked into this fantastic city with a face full of surprise.
The leader of the way, Bucknar, obviously has a certain status in the elven kingdom, and the elves he met along the way bowed their heads to him and saluted, and they also looked curiously at Gangzi's unusual appearance, but the elves were very self-disciplined and polite, and they did not look at or point out to Gangzi, but saluted very friendly.
In front of such an elegant race, the bright side of human nature was instantly sublimated, even Gangzi has always considered himself vulgar and informal, and he did not dare to be rude in this elegant society, and smiled at every elf he encountered, nodding all the way, and his neck was a little sore.
Fortunately, the city is not large, and after crossing the rattan bridges, Baknar quickly brought Gangzi to a palace.
"Your Excellency, I will go and report to our king about this voyage, and I am sure that he will soon summon you, a guest from afar."
This is the palace of the elf king, there are 20 trees of the building complex, with logs and flowers and rattan nets as a wall, there are three floors up and down, the number of buildings is decreasing layer by layer, the top floor is a large tree house surrounded by three canopies, flowers, herbs with some exquisite wood carvings, showing the elves graceful and exquisite culture.
In front of the open palace were two elven guards, dressed in the same tight-fitting rattan armor as Bucknar, handsome and heroic, with pointed broadleaf hats on their heads, hair tucked into them and two pointed ears leaking out, a purple wooden longbow on their backs, a pot of feathered arrows, and a short sword hanging from their waists.
Bucknar didn't ask Gangzi to wait long, and soon he came out of the palace with the news of the Elven King's summons.
Due to environmental constraints, the elf palace cannot be as spacious as the Forbidden City, and the elf character will not build the kind of palace that pays attention to the emperor's momentum, in fact, the rooms in the elf palace are only a little larger than the ordinary elf tree house, and it is the nature of the elves to chase freedom and quiet. Entering the palace gate is a corridor that surrounds the complex, and going up the stairs to the second floor, Gangzi meets the elven king in a small but extremely elegant hall.
The tall body is wearing a pale green one-piece robe, the shimmering silk thread is embroidered with leaf-shaped symbols, the face has a few wrinkles, the eyebrow bones are slightly high, the green pupils are extremely deep, and the head has a rattan-like crown, which is as soft as jade.
Gangzi saw the elf king caressing his chest and saluted: "Gangzi from the distant continent see Your Majesty. ”
The Elven King waved his hand to signal Gangzi to get up, and said with a smile: "Your deeds Bucknar has already told me, thank you very much for your assistance to the Morning Glory at sea, defeating the insatiable goblin, you and your ship have been recognized by the master of the sea, and have also received the friendship of the elven clan, I very sincerely invite you and your ship to stay in my kingdom for a few more days, the hospitable elves will definitely make your journey more exciting." ”
Gangzi said: "My ship and I have encountered a storm and are in urgent need of supplies, thank Your Majesty for allowing us to rest in the Elven Kingdom." ”
You won't be so slammed, will you? I didn't even have a physical reward for saving you a ship, and I used to thank you verbally, so why do you have to give a few forbidden spell scrolls to be considered sincere. The friendship of just one elf clan is too empty, brother is a pirate commander and fleet commander and the head of the navy's secret force, the population of thousands of people under his command is about the same as that of your elves, and the cannon of the giant ship is also a large piece of land pulled out at sea, brother is the master who has always used cannons to talk and can't afford to be early, you can send away a friendship?
Complaining is complaining, the fleet is not there, the fists are not hard, even if you are dissatisfied, you can only endure it, and you can only bear it, and you can only say a few words to the elf king with a smile, and Gangzi retreated with Bucknar.
Bucknar, who has been in contact with the outside world, noticed Gangzi's unhappiness and explained: "We elves do not have much desire for material, but are obsessed with spiritual art, so we think that the races in the world are the same as us, we advocate nature and treat things sincerely, the king promised that the friendship of the elves is already a great gift, and I have also prepared some artworks made by elves, if you don't dislike it, please accept them, they are very popular among dwarves and orcs." ”
Gangzi smiled: "The pursuit of different cultures is different, I blamed the generosity of the Elf King, please forgive me." ”
"Your Excellency is my benefactor, how can I blame."
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency's is too outward, my name is Gangzi, I call you Uncle Baknar, you can just call me by my name, in this Jade Continent, I still need your guidance."
