183.Chapter 183: Roddy "The Great Demon King"
After flipping through the pages, Roddy remembered that he still had Dukal's notebook in his hand, and was about to flip it out to see if there were any other clues, but as soon as he reached out his hand, he saw Brudy in the distance end the conversation and staggered over.
His wooden staff was cut off by Kevin during the battle today, so it was a bit difficult to walk. However, the old elf had no intention of being supported, and when he came to Roddy, he stretched out his hand and gestured to speak while walking:
"When something like this happens in the village, we understand why. In fact, I have often encountered some human beings over the years, but there has never been such a big conflict," he sighed, quite with some interest, and said: "I have always told them that human beings are shameless, greedy, and ugly, just so that they can avoid such conflicts, but today, I have discovered... Hide, after all, you can't hide. β
Roddy didn't speak, and as a human, he knew it wasn't appropriate to say anything at this point. However, for Brudy's feelings, he actually probably understood what was going on.
The Wood Elves are descendants of the High Elves, but it is clear that the environment in which the two groups live is very different.
At the beginning, the "High Elves" had the highest level of civilization in the continent and were the benchmark for all ethnic groups to look up to. And the current "wood elves" compared with it, it is simply the gap between primitive and modern people, although there is still a little bit of high elf cultural heritage in the tribe, but the essence of it has long been lost.
Living in an era when you can know the world's major events by swiping Weibo, Luo Di naturally knows the meaning of the phrase "if you fall behind, you will be beaten". But the wood elves don't have this kind of consciousness at all... Not only them, but also the Karen Kingdom, the Orc Kingdom, and the Tasman Undead combined, in fact, few people can clearly understand this.
There are few wood elves, the reproduction rate of the race is not as fast as that of humans, and they are scattered in the jungle and isolated from the world, but they vaguely know the concept of "there is a group of very murderous humans outside the forest", but they don't understand it at all. This situation is similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's seclusion and seclusion, but the wood elves are not blindly arrogant enough to think that they are the best in the world, but have a turtle mentality, only thinking about careful management and avoiding conflicts, but they don't know the truth of "harboring their crimes", so that when the tragedy comes, there is no room for resistance.
"It's not worth saying too many words of thanks, and the elves of Elsa Village understand who saved us, so... If there's anything we can do to help, Roddy, you can just ask. β
The old elf spoke straightforwardly, without half a word of nonsense, and compared with the crooked style of the nobles, it was simply too neat.
Roddy wanted to say his plans directly, but listening to the faint cries of the bereaved elves in the wind, he still changed his mind and said in a low voice: "You also saw the purpose of my coming here, mainly related to the snake king Sakya. Now that the purpose is accomplished, there is nothing to be helped with. β
Brudy didn't speak, the wood elves don't be hypocritically polite, if you want it, don't want it, don't ask the habit of asking a second time.
Luo Di had expected this, and he hurriedly threw out the next topic: "By the way, there is something I want to talk to you about, after all, it is related to the high elves." β
Hearing the words "high elf", Brudy's footsteps paused, nodded and said, "Let's go back to the village." β
The tone was non-negotiable, but he was clearly interested in the topic. Roddy didn't talk nonsense, and followed Brudy directly to his tree hole after returning to Elsa Village, and didn't see Nata and Akasha along the way, presumably Nata should take care of Akasha and rest.
Once in the tree hole, Brudy carried a lantern-like object and placed it on the wooden table, and Roddy looked at the fireflies used for lighting in the "lantern", and felt a little nostalgic for the time when he was leveling up here.
The old elf closed the wooden door and said solemnly, "Now let's talk about it." β
"If I'm not mistaken, what the village chief should do next is to make the village as strong as possible?"
"I have nothing to hide, and there is no other way out of Elsa Village now. β
Brudi generously admitted, but he was also full of helplessness, "Those previous ideas have been proven wrong by reality, and now I can only find a new route, and I can't watch the tragedy happen again." β
Roddy didn't expect him to be as stubborn as he imagined, and when he thought about it, if Brudi had always remained the same, there would be no thriving "Silent Forest Transit Station" in his memory.
So he pondered the wording, combined with the customs and tasks he knew in Elsa Village, and said loudly: "There are many things that the village needs now, but there are some things that Elsa Village needs to know... After the death of the Serpent King Sakya, the ruins of Wagra should not be a 'forbidden land' for you, right?"
After saying this, Brudy slapped his head and exclaimed, "I forgot about it! There should be a lot of precious things left in there..."
As soon as he said this, the old elf obviously couldn't sit still, obviously wanting to send someone to investigate and protect the ruins immediately, and muttered words like "long nights and dreams".
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease: Brudy's reaction had already proved that he was right to "bet".
Although the civilization of the High Elves was destroyed by the Orcs seven hundred years ago, if you go back in time, the Kingdom of the High Elves has existed on this continent for more than 2,000 years!
In such a long history, the High Elves have given birth to a brilliant civilization that has not been matched by mankind so far, and the most important of them is the inheritance of "arcane" research.
At that time, the "arcane" was basically an "atomic bomb" - powerful, ready to deter all other races watching the kingdom of the High Elves. It's just that the final destruction of the high elves seems to be because of the "arcane", and the specific reason history has not yet been determined, but it is generally said that the high elves' arcane magic has lost its original effectiveness, resulting in the entire country completely losing its defensive capability because of too much reliance on "arcane", and finally destroying the country.
However, current human research on "arcane" has proved that this claim is completely untrue. From the "Arcane Martyrdom" that killed Sakya, we know that the power of "Arcane" is still as powerful as it is - the Wood Elves naturally understand the truth that "the building near the water gets the moon first", so they desperately search for the relics of the High Elves, and continue to dig up those former "Arcane" texts...
After all, who doesn't want to have a strong force, and who wants to do everything by looking at other people's faces?
This was the strategy of the wood elves in Roddy's memory, and now it seems that Brudy already has such a plan in mind.
"There are a lot of things in the ruins, the main thing is that there is a secret room inside, which should store a lot of books about 'arcane'. β
Roddy casually said this information as a favor to the other party, after all, the ruins have lost their guardians, and it would be a waste to think about those things if they continue to be eroded by time - more importantly, he actually hoped in his heart that the elves could leave as soon as possible after finishing the contents of the ruins, so that the princess Eve could sleep peacefully...
This is perhaps one of the few thoughts in his mind that is more emotional.
Not surprisingly, Brudy's eyes almost lit up when he heard the information of those classics, and he immediately called for Lando to send a team to guard the ruins and wait for a detailed exploration tomorrow.
And Roddy did not take advantage of the situation to make a request for "open trade", he still held back, got up and said goodbye.
Leaving behind a self-excited Brudy, Roddy left the tree hole and walked along the humble roads of Elsa Village in the dark - in my memory, the tree holes in Elsa Village almost all disappeared in 594, and I had the impression that except for the tree holes of a few elves such as Nata and Brudy, the other large trees were cut down and replaced by regular wooden houses and streets, and even divided into trade areas, mercenary unions, wood elf living quarters, tavern areas, etc., and the area was much larger than now.
"Things are not people. β
He sighed with emotion, his mood relaxed, his fingers tapped on the hilt of the knife, and he hummed a song casually. Occasionally, wood elves passed by, looking at Roddy with deep awe, and some dared to say hello, but most of them didn't even dare to approach.
After all, it's one thing to block the beast tide, it's another thing to slaughter the entire mercenary group by one person, and the elves who witnessed those scenes have long been frightened by Roddy's bloody and brutal fighting style, and some of them are timid, and even faintly regard Roddy as the "big demon king", and when they saw Roddy smiling at them, they immediately screamed and hid in the tree hole...
Really, Lao Tzu won't eat you again.
Roddy was also helpless, turned his head to look, found a tree hole and knocked on it, and saw that it was Nata who came to open the door, so he confirmed that he was not wrong, and said: "If it is convenient, I will come to see Akasha's injury." β
The wooden door was opened, signaling for Roddy to come in. He rolled over and entered, and after standing firmly, the faint fragrance that came to his face made Roddy a little trance... Under the faint glow, Nata's room was indistinguishable from the year 594 in her memory, with a simple bed, table and chairs, a short bow hanging from the wooden walls, and a familiar smell on her bodyβit seemed that after crossing over, only the room in front of him felt no different from what it had been.
The forest was already very cold in late October, and Nata had changed into a poor-looking but warm animal skin clothes, and her hair was wet, presumably freshly washed. She looked at Roddy, as if she was a little puzzled as to how the other party had found this place, but then she was relieved, after all, everyone knows such a question.
She, naturally, will not understand... When Roddy first went on a mission, he was deeply impressed by this tree hole.
"Thank you. β
Roddy thanked Nata first, and then looked at Akasha lying on the bed, the high-ranking "wet nurse" who had fallen asleep from exhaustion and was unaware of his arrival.
It's just that Roddy glanced at her blood panel, but found that Akasha's health value was actually a little lower, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Didn't she eat?"
"Eat. β
Nata replied mechanically, as if she wouldn't say a word.
Roddy couldn't figure it out for a long time, but Nata suddenly added: "There were suddenly a lot of wounds on her back just now, and although she was later healed with a spell, she still bled a lot." β
Hearing this, Luo Di suddenly realized, his eyes stayed on the icon of "Punishment of Whipping" for a moment, and saw that the "Divine Attenuation" decreased from 75% to 80% of the healing effect, and secretly sighed that this nurse is really hard, but in his heart he suddenly thought of another thing - in addition to the strong ability of "brewing", the more powerful point is that the talent of "herb collection" has a bonus, if there is a suitable "pharmacist", it must be of great help to form a force for yourself!
The next main difficulty is to get Magda, and if there is a suitable "pharmacist" to make a few potions you need before December, then the odds can definitely be doubled!
