Chapter 168: Allies
These humans always make sense when they speak, although Veronica always has a gut feeling that something is wrong and wrong, but she can't say it.
can only be attributed to the fact that this is because he subconsciously does not dare to trust human beings, so no matter how reasonable the other party says, he will subconsciously doubt it, for fear that this is a trap.
But the problem is true, the other party has already paid and demarcated such a land, so isn't it their business how to use it?
If you still have to obey your own restrictions, if this is not good, and that is not allowed, then what is the other party renting this land for? This land is still their own, and the other party paid the price in vain, but they can't use it?
The dragon just now didn't fly into the tribe, and it didn't hurt any people, but it was really too powerful, and even if it didn't do anything, it would scare others.
Liliana sighed, she stared at the elf girl in front of her, and hesitated slightly:
"If you don't think that's acceptable, we'll try to keep the Lothric Wyvern from coming in the future...... It's just that the roads haven't been reclaimed yet, and if you don't rely on them, it's a bit troublesome. ”
She also felt that this distance was indeed a little close, after all, this place was only about a kilometer away from the entrance of other people's villages-
A giant dragon flew over here, and it was no different from rushing directly into someone's tribe.
"Huh...... Thank you. ”
Veronica didn't expect the other party to speak so easily, and she could only subconsciously thank her for a while, and at the same time, she was also puzzled in her heart, it seemed that this group of people was indeed different from the humans she had seen before.
It's no wonder that they are called "Inhumans" by their fathers and the elders of the tribe, probably to distinguish these people from those who are overtly greedy.
"It doesn't matter, we will be allies in the future...... Isn't it? ”
God knows how much effort it took Liliana to say such unconscionable words.
Immediately after, without giving the other party a chance to react, the Eastern European girl turned around directly, not allowing the two of them to see her slightly red cheeks.
"By the way, if you are the daughter of the patriarch, then I also happen to have something, and it should be the same to inform you...... Please come with me. ”
"Huh?" Veronica watched as the other turned and walked towards a concrete building, and then reflexively looked at the elven woman behind her.
Willett nodded slightly, she didn't feel any danger from this human girl, and the magic fluctuations were also very obscure and hidden, and according to experience, this was often a sign of low strength.
As long as it wasn't the monster named Dragon just now, then she was completely sure to protect her master.
Or is the strength of these aliens actually very low, and they are so rich and powerful because they have mastered external forces? For example, the ability to domesticate powerful magical beasts, the technology of smelting metal, and the process of casting sophisticated equipment...... Wait a minute?
Veronica froze, and turned to follow.
But at this moment, there was a sudden noisy movement behind him, the crowd was in an uproar, and the loud scolding could be faintly heard, and only some general words or broken sentences could be discerned in the chaos.
For example, words like "damn it" and "greedy...... Another example is the sentence "You humans......
The information was fragmented, but it was quickly enough to weave together and form connections. The elf girl suddenly felt a beat in her heart, and felt extremely bad, could it be that a group of radicals came to make trouble, right?
After all, humans don't have a good relationship with the forest elves, and because their tribe is located on the edge of the forest compared to other kinds, it is natural to attract firepower.
Large tribes with a population of tens of thousands, everyone has to eat and drink, so there will always be an opportunity for those greedy humans to take advantage of, and every year there are tens or hundreds of tribesmen who are taken captive...... The fate of these hapless elves can be imagined.
And they also have family and friends, and over time, there is a faction of elves in the tribe who are completely hostile to humans.
The human corpses still hanging in the high places in many parts of the forest are their masterpieces, and after the ordinary elves kill the invading slave catchers, no matter how angry they are, the most they can do is to slash at the corpses a few times.
- And they are going to hang their corpses in the public to deter the wolves who come forward to follow them.
However, the effect is not very good, not to mention that those outlaws originally put life and death out of the way, just because the forest is so vast, they can touch in from countless directions and countless routes, and they may not be able to see the corpses of their predecessors.
In addition, there are many predators in the forest, but they do not have the backbone and persistence to eat what they come from, and they will not let go once they find such rations, and those human corpses often disappear within overnight.
But those radicals don't care, they just come and kill again, and they are also the group of people in the tribe who call for the closure of the forest and the complete severance of contact with humans.
They can't tell the difference between the human caravans that normally come to trade in the tribe and the human slave hunters, for them, as long as they are humans, they should be killed, and many times when the caravans come over, they will be shocked.
In some cases, there will be unconditional riots of smashing and looting, and even public killings, and several caravans that have always had excellent relations with the tribe have been cut off after heavy losses......
These are all things that have happened in recent years, which is why the elders of the tribe are so hasty to get in touch with these Inhumans, not only do these Inhumans need their channels, but they also need these Inhuman goods to communicate with each other.
But those radicals don't feel that they have done anything wrong, and now they are afraid that they will repeat their old tricks again.
"Welllet, go and stop them!"
The elven girl turned around and gave the order eagerly, fearing that things would get out of hand.
Villelet was about to take the order, but found that the surroundings suddenly fell silent......
As soon as the dozen or so forest elves who were making trouble launched an assault on this camp, they were simply beaten down. Each of them was greeted by a blue-cloaked knight of Lustric, who was extremely decisive.
Although some of the effects have been taken into account, the order given to them has been changed, and the shot here will not be easily fatal, but it hurts to look at.
Those forest elves have no chance of resisting at all-
They saw the tin can on the opposite side suddenly raise the straight sword in his hand, and subconsciously waved the weapon in his hand to block, but they didn't expect that the opposite knight was extremely skilled in combat.
Not only did they just get stuck at that distance, but the weapons they raised paused for half a second, and when their own weapons were swung out and shot into the air, those sinister knights took advantage of this gap and swung down with a delayed slash.
Even if someone is extremely vigilant and has good agility attributes, they can avoid the delayed slash when they are unsuspected, but then those knights will only take a step forward, even if the weapon in their right hand has just been swung out and has not been withdrawn, it will definitely not give them a chance to seize the gap.
Instead, the heavy knight's shield held in his left hand smashed down, and when the head was covered by a heavy blow, the weight of the dozens or hundreds of catties of alloy alone was already jaw-dropping, not to mention that it was held in the hands of these powerful knights, and then a large area of blows were slammed down.
Those forest elves didn't know what a concussion was, they would only feel a buzz in their heads, and their eyes would go dark, and they wouldn't know what to do.
"......" Wellrette opened her mouth, her dynamic vision was very good, after all, she was a master of agility as her specialty, so in just a moment, she also captured all the details of what had just happened.
These so-called knights in blue cloaks seem to be more elite than those in red cloaks, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons and shields in their hands are no longer foreign equipment.
And it seems to be a part of their limbs, which can be used as freely as the fingers of the arm. Those restless elf juniors have seen it themselves, and their strength can be regarded as good among their age.
As a result, he couldn't even hold up a single face, so he was simply put down......
What should I do now?
Liliana was silent, she didn't even have the interest to look back: "It's okay, I'll wait here, Miss Veronica will deal with these things first, it's always not good for us to come forward......"
The elf girl came back to her senses, although her face was also strange, but she was inexplicably grateful in her heart.
The other party did not kill his own people, and also took care of the face of his own tribe. Thinking so, she turned around, "Welllet, you go and bring them back and let the elders leave!" ”
"Wait, wait, Lady Veronica, you'......"
"It's okay with me, it's not going to be dangerous." The elven girl made up her mind.
Two girls with an age difference of at least thirty years, but in a sense both girls walked into the strange room, and Veronica couldn't help but look around curiously, it was obviously just a simple cement wall, and she hadn't even had time to paint a layer of lime.
But she still felt very curious and inquisitive.
However, Liliana didn't explain these unimportant things, she is a straight person, so she is to the point:
"Regarding some of our small misunderstandings before, although it did not cause any impact, but considering that there will be some contacts in the future, we have come up with a way, which should be more feasible."
Misunderstand? What misunderstanding?
Veronica was a little confused, but under the explanation of the other party, she quickly understood, talking about some doubts and small troubles caused by the inconsistency of the units of measurement used by the two parties in the previous transaction.
The reason why the other party is an alien is also for this reason, the elves have never seen anyone actually formulate such a cumbersome and complex unit of measurement and a whole set of rules. It's a pity that they don't have the same thing, so it's normal for elves to have doubts.
"This is the unit of measurement we use...... Each one has an explanation, and you can use this whole set of tools to understand, here's how to use them......"
Liliana's voice was faint, and she followed the predetermined steps with a blank face, promoting the standard system of her side to the other side.
The rules of this plane are very similar to those on the other side of the earth, and the gravitational parameters are very close to each other, so it is completely possible to directly apply some rules and systems.
"I see, but...... What are these graphics? ”
The elf girl didn't think there was anything wrong, but she became more and more at ease with this group of people, this is integrity, and she told herself everything in advance. As long as your tribe has this standard, then won't you have a reference later?
In this way, there is nothing to lose, and it is as much as you say in advance, and you don't have to worry about others lying to you.
It's just that she can't understand what those standard square shapes mean.
"These are kanji, because we come from far away, farther than the human nations you know, this Miss Veronica knows, right?"
Liliana said with a strained face.
"So we don't understand your text, and it's hard to translate these measurements...... This is one of the scripts that we have over there, and it is the same as the one you use, which evolved from hieroglyphs, and you should be able to remember it. ”
"Is that so?" Veronica frowned slightly, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Anyway, you need to memorize the words used in those units, and you don't need to ...... the others," the silver-brown ponytail girl looked away, "but you can actually study it, I heard that your tribe is planning to buy secret knowledge from us-"
"But your writing is different from ours, but it is also much less, and it is generally difficult to express too complex meanings...... If you can't even read it, I'm afraid you're wasting your money. ”
This one...... That's right, but this group of people is really honest!
If it were someone else, they wouldn't care if you could use the things you bought, they just wanted to sell you all the useless things and squeeze money out of you, and they couldn't think about you at all.
Sure enough, compared to those greedy humans, these aliens from afar are worthy of friendship...... The elf girl couldn't help but nod her head again and again when she heard this, thinking so in her heart.
