Chapter 182: Daily Life in the Sanctuary
"Hey, little Liuli, do you want to come and taste my new wine?"
"Knot, you make fun of me again, knowing that I can't drink. Liu Li responded with a smile, "I'll go back first, and I'll go to Zhe in the afternoon, he seems to need my help with something." ”
"Ah, don't always get used to Zhe, now he has to ask you for help no matter how big or small, and if he goes on like this, the dragon will be abolished. ”
The smile on Liu Li's face, who returned to the room, quickly disappeared, and she kept calling Cuiwa's name in her heart, but still didn't get any response. Although the Great Elder of the White Dragon had repeatedly assured that in this ruined world, time flowed much faster than that of the Ode Continent, but time had passed unknowingly, nearly a year had passed, and coupled with the fact that he had been floating in the chaos for an unknown amount of time before, the anxiety in Liu Li's heart was also increasing day by day.
In the past year of life, Liu Li also has a certain understanding of this dragon city. The total number of residents living here is less than 5,000, but they are all white dragons. Among them, the Great Elder was the only one left in the Ancient Dragon, and he was the only survivor left in the "Heavenly Realm" during the catastrophe. There are less than twenty ancient dragons, all of whom are members of the Council of Elders, planning everything in Dragon City. Gu Long is a little more, the number is about three hundred, they are responsible for directly managing all aspects of the city, when Liu Li first came to Dragon City, the uncle with the national character face met was an ancient dragon. What surprised Liu Li the most was that the number of dragons in the stage from prime to old age was unexpectedly small, only a few more than the ancient dragons, but the number was also limited, and the total number was only six hundred, and their task was to teach the younger generations. The line between young dragons and baby dragons is not clear, they are the cornerstone of this broken world, and there are more than three thousand of them, although these young people ...... Dragons seem to live a leisurely life, but none of them are idle, and they always find a job to do on their own. In the end, there were less than a thousand young dragons, and they belonged to the children who were waiting to be fed. Liu Li was even fortunate enough to visit the "hatching room" deep underground in Dragon City under the leadership of the Great Elder, and those neatly arranged dragon eggs were the future of this holy domain.
These dragons are no different from mortals in nature, and they all have their own interests and preferences. Tetsu, for example, likes to raise small animals the most, and many of the species that survived the cataclysm are the ones he cares for, such as the fat griffin who lives in fear every day in an environment surrounded by dragons......
In fact, Liu Li's life in Dragon City is not bad, at least he can be regarded as a "rich man" with a small property, thanks to the spars left to him by Cuiwa. In this holy realm, it was hard currency, and Liu Li had calculated that even if he didn't do anything every day, it would be enough for him to live here peacefully for thousands of years. Even if you splurge every day, eat the best food, drink the best wine, and wear the most luxurious clothes, it is enough to last for more than a thousand years. Of course, he wouldn't do that, and he wouldn't drink.
The only thing that supported Liu Li, who was becoming increasingly anxious, did not act irrationally, not from others, but from his own mental state. After symbiosis with Cuiwa, the spiritual power that can be freely used is compressed to only thirty percent, although Liu Li is not sure whether the gradual recovery of spiritual power is due to the improvement of his own strength, or because Cuiwa is gradually recovering. But with the passage of time, it is an indisputable fact that the spiritual power that he can now freely control has recovered to more than seventy percent. Now he just waited for his mental strength to return to the same as before, whether the green tile would bring the results he wanted.
"Well, let's eat something, and I'm going to help Zhe take care of the fat bird in the afternoon. Liu Li shook her head and muttered in a low voice, as if she wanted to shake anxiety out of her mind. It wasn't out of interest to help Zhe take care of the magical creatures he had never seen before, but Liu Li felt that he had to find something to do so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the anxiety in his heart.
Looking at the lunch that took half an hour to prepare, Liu Li still had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, although it was still not as good as Landolia, who was good at cooking, but compared to himself when he lived in Eleno City before, he had improved a lot, at least there would be no more mistakes such as burning the steak or forgetting to add some condiments.
Liu Li, who hurriedly filled his stomach and came to the feedlot, felt hungry again...... Or rather, gluttony. It's not that he wants to compete with these strange beasts for food, it's just that in a specially planned place with a special role like a breeding farm, he will more or less use some spars given to him by green tiles.
According to the Great Elder of the White Dragon, this spar is the cornerstone of the "Heavenly Realm". In that cataclysm, the foundations of the Heavenly Realm were completely destroyed, but nearly half of these foundations were gathered in this sacred realm. No matter how small the "Heavenly Boundary" is, it is still an independent world, and although the Shining City is the center of the world, before the collapse of the "Heavenly Boundary", the cornerstone contained here is less than one-ten-thousandth of the entire world. Those cornerstones were also a major factor in the sanctuary's ability to survive thousands of years and survive to this day.
"Hey, Liu Li, I didn't ask you to come over to help, but I didn't make you drool over the cornerstone. "The existence of the cornerstone is no secret to the inhabitants of Dragon City, and even a young dragon like Tetsu knows what these hedrons do.
For the residents of Dragon City, the cornerstone is not a small amount of non-renewable resources, any world, if you want to survive for a long time, the consumption and regeneration of resources must constitute a complete cycle. The number of elderly dragons in Dragon City is so scarce, in addition to the insurmountable life leap gap between the elderly dragons and the ancient dragons, another reason is that they spontaneously gave up their lives in order to perpetuate the Sanctuary, reducing their bodies and souls to white elements, and condensing the Origin Soul Crystal. Although the soul crystals condensed by the old dragon were not pure enough, their huge number was enough to support the normal operation of the underground hatchery.
"Ah, okay, okay, you guy who can't even restrain Long Wei, if you hadn't scared the big fat all the time, it wouldn't have fallen that day. ”
"Who made Uncle Wei say so urgently, I was scared when I didn't pay attention to this fat bird. "The experience of falling from the sky has become a philosopher's life...... A big stain on Long Sheng, "Besides, it's not because this fat bird is too timid, I feed it every day, and I'm so scared that I forget how to fly." ”
"And the rules here are also very annoying, and I don't say that I can't show my true body in the city, and the training ground in the north of the city is occupied by young dragons all year round, and I feel like I've almost forgotten how to fly. Zhe obviously has no intention of stopping complaining, and in the past year, this young dragon has become a good friend with Liu Li. The house where one person and one dragon live next to each other is a neighbor, and Liu Li is deeply impressed by this "falling" guy, so he gives it a soul crystal from Cuiwa from time to time, and now Zhe is already the strongest existence among the young dragons.
"You don't want to think about what this city would be like if you could manifest your true nature without restriction. Liu Li responded absentmindedly as she mashed the forage and meat and fed it to the fat birds with round eyes waiting to feed.
"That'...... That, Liu Li. Can I ask you for something?" Philosopher stopped talking, as if he didn't know how to speak.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" In Liu Li's impression, this young dragon's temperament is somewhat similar to Blazer's, they are all second-class people who do things without their brains, not that they are not smart enough, but they are too lazy to use their brains many times. can make it hesitate like this, Liu Li can't guess what it plans for a while.
"Can you give me another soul crystal, tonight, I'll ...... I want to make an appointment. The dragon's face flushed, apparently shy.
"Oh, Zhe, are you planning to pursue the knot?" Liu Li was not particularly surprised, but he didn't intend to agree to Zhe's request easily, but continued to ask: "Zhe, logically speaking, I should support you, but you tell me honestly, whether you really like the knot, or just for the sake of her wine." ”
Zhe's alcoholic life is better than Wells, and Liu Li must ask about this. The female white dragon named Knot is also Liu Li's neighbor, but because she spends most of her time making wine, she doesn't have much communication with Liu Li, who doesn't drink alcohol. However, Liu Li still remembers that when he had just chosen a place to live and placed his "home" in the Young Dragon Settlement, he was not less taken care of.
"Uh, this...... Both, both. Zhe broke out in a cold sweat, and after nearly a year of getting along, he got to know Liu Li and guessed the result of answering truthfully, but he didn't want to deceive this friend of a different race, so he finally decided to tell the truth.
"Well, I knew ......" Liu Li really didn't know what to say, but although this was not in line with his philosophy, it was commonplace among dragons. He finally agreed to Zhe's request, after all, no other female dragon had ever made this friend feel good, but Liu Li still left a sentence: "Okay, just this once." ”
"Ahh
......
"Wells, well done, your tactics have opened a new door for me. Sitting on the side of the desk, Vidro did not look weak after being injured at all, and his voice was still full of energy.
"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. Wells took a sip of the spider wine he brought from Erenor City, his face was slightly drunk, and he said politely, but his expression was not like that at all, revealing the same flamboyance as Landolia, "But General, you can be said to have lost face this time, the majesty of the 'Imperial Iron Wall'......"
"Heh, as long as those Bayer cubs are fooled, the other problems are just minutiae. Vedro's eyes were deep, and he was clearly playing a big game of chess, "How's it going, what's going on over there these days?"
"Everything was planned. ”
"That's good, but you kid is so happy that you don't say anything about sharing a glass with me, and you don't want to think about who allowed you to drink in the army. ”
"General, it's not right to lead a leader to drink. Wells said as he carefully hung the flask around his waist.
"Okay, you stinky boy! Anyone can say this, but it only comes out of your mouth that makes me so unhappy!"
"Although you are a general, I will never compromise on this matter!" Wells replied stiffly. Just kidding, there wasn't much spider wine he brought from Alano, and as a veteran drunkard, he wouldn't share it with others, even if that person was the "Imperial Iron Wall" Vedro Kaino, it was absolutely impossible.
