Chapter 362: The Lake in the Painting
To drive any force to work for itself, it needs a reason. Or high pressure, or gentleness, or inducement, or intermarriage. Between the human race and the elven race, there is a mountain that has been stretched for more than a thousand years, and Aida and Sorento have both died in mutual distrust.
Therefore, Zhou Yu will not be angry at the retreat and two-faced approach of Fispes and Titans. If it were him, he might also be a matter of importance, after all, this is a major matter involving life and death, and the family business of his ancestors.
"Okay, Lao Fei, I won't say anything else. That's the way it is, that's what it's like here. As for my nonsense, whether you believe it or not, you can send someone to inquire yourself. As for the struggle between these two enemies, you can come if you want to, and if you don't want to comeβ"
"Come, come! Go now, go now! β
Fispes clenched his two fists and slapped his chest with a loud bang. He didn't need Zhou Yu's agitation to guide, just now Aida woke up Lao Fei who was pretending to be asleep with a sentence: If the demon of Water Wang Li replaces the queen and becomes the direct controller of Saurasia, can there be good fruits to eat in the elven grassland? Will he allow this continent to have land outside the law?
Taking a step back, even if he retreats to the Central Continent and re-establishes a pro-Central puppet regime, and the master is on a par with Aida, Sorento, the owners of angry howls and betrayal lies, and slaughters the dragon with blood, will there be a peaceful day on the Sola Continent? As the so-called nest is overlaid, there are no eggs, and it is impossible to stay out of it at this moment. Circumstances forced him to make a choice.
"Lao Fei, I have to say a few more words about this position!"
Zhou Yu, who had just lifted his butt from the chair, sat back down, and the hot temperature came up again.
Fispes had just turned cloudy and had to continue to return to sleet.
"Don't think I'm going to be like Shenbing Kun, favoring one over the other. Although he looks like a human being, he has nothing to do with the Terrans of the Borderlands, and his bloodline is different, his understanding is different, and his logic is different. What's more, I now inherit the parents of the Traitorous Eye, the skin of the body, and since the blood of Sorento is in my body, I am a part of the elves! β
"Yes, yes!"
"So, I and the elves are a community of destiny, a relationship of prosperity and loss, closely related, and mutually reinforcing, think about it, if the elves are wiped out, what good will I have? Who am I going to command? Our Sorento is not only a sinner in history, isn't he? β
"Your Highness has learned that it is Fispes who is short-sighted."
Lao Fei nodded his head like Zhu Zhishan's "Chicken Peck Rice Picture".
"I'm here to see how you're preparing; Second, I also want to check your family background. You know! β
The cold sweat on Lao Fei's forehead ran down the ground, and his palms were sweating. Zhou Yu stared at him with a rebellious eye for a few seconds just now, and found that this old boy still had nothing to say, in current words, his heart beat faster and his body temperature increased, which was a sign that something important was hidden.
The effect of judging the truth and falsehood and right and wrong is not so obvious to people, but it is a stare at the elves. If you don't say it, this is Sorento's ability, and you can't tell the difference between good and bad people?
"Ming, understood, does Your Highness want to retrieve that, that thing?"
Sure enough, Zhou Yu guessed correctly, and he combined his rebellious judgment with a little trickery to coerce Lao Fei into telling the truth by himself. The elves, after all, still have something to hide, and want to play tricks on him, the new Sorento!
"Then you're not in a hurry?"
"Yes, yes! Your Highness, please come with me! β
The Grand Governor followed Fispes through the entire Centaur tribe, and everywhere he passed, all the centaurs knelt on one knee and bowed in worship, perhaps because they saw the green on his face, or perhaps because they sensed the lord's caution towards this uninvited guest, in short, they knelt down, no nonsense.
"Lao Fei, you have managed this elf fire well!"
The fire was retrieved from Mensa, and the whole Centaur tribe came back to life. This kind of fire is of great benefit to their production and life, building weapons and heating and cooking, and after eating cold rice and ice food for several lifetimes, they suddenly returned to above the food and clothing line from the dire situation, Lao Fei owes Zhou Yu a thanks.
"Thanks to His Royal Highness, the fire of the elves has returned to the grassland, so that I will be like a spring breeze and a bath in the sun, and I will not have to endure the bleak wind and cold rain from now on. Your Highness's miracles are truly the blessings of the elves, the blessings of Sora, and the blessings of the ownerless! β
Speaking of whiskers and horses, these lords of the elf clan are not far behind compared with Lai Junchen, it can be seen that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are big brothers.
"It's here, Your Highness, please!"
In front of Zhou Yu was a towering ancient tree, with a diameter of more than ten meters. Compared to the strange trees in Ellavera's hometown, the lush greenery and luxuriance of this tree shows its simplicity and testimony. And that vigorous vitality convinces every passer-by that plant is the world's dominant and eternal existence.
A small door opened in the center of the trunk, with vines and arrowroot intertwined and flowers, although he didn't know what was stored inside, he could see two rows of heavily armed men and horses guarding the door, and Zhou Yu guessed that there must be a hole inside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness?"
"Oh, here it is."
Fispes sliced through the dense vines with the short knife in his hand, opening a passage to enter. It seems that even the lord has not set foot in this forbidden place for a long time.
Entering the treehouse, this is not the first time the Grand Governor has entered the treehouse. The story of the treehouse can be traced back to the pitch-black iron tree in the Lich Pool, and later he also had a lot of fun at the ape tree tree house in Mensa. However, the Centaur Treehouse was the first time he had entered.
The Centaur tribe has a strict hierarchy, and ordinary people and soldiers have to cut down logs to build their own wooden huts to live in, and they live in groups. Only after reaching a certain level of status can you gain the power of living alone in a treehouse.
There was no direct sunlight in the treehouse, but it was not dark. Countless fireflies inhabit and fly here, blue, green, yellow, and red, flying up and down, so uncomfortable, lighting up their short lives while reflecting the surroundings into the dance floor of a nightclub.
The trunk of the tree was hollow, and what attracted Zhou Yu's attention the most in addition to the insect lamp was the corpse of a centaur. It seems to have been sleeping for a long time, with no more skin and flesh on its body, and only a skeleton standing there.
It's scary to think about, the lower half of the body is the skeleton of a horse, but the upper half of the body is a skeleton. Zhou Yu couldn't help but shudder.
"Huh?"
What surprised him even more was that the dead man and horse brother had two arm bones stretched forward, and he seemed to be holding something important in his hands.
Why is it important? The Grand Governor judged that it must have been something that Fispes had brought with him to fetch it, for it and the corpses of the centaurs stood in the center of the entire library. At this time, the old guy's eyes were fixed on the item in the specimen's hand.
Before Zhou Yu opened his mouth to ask, Lao Fei, who had gray temples, knelt on the ground with his front hooves, folded his hands and said something in his mouth, muttering back and forth, what kind of plane? The Grand Governor scratched his head, then raised it again and continued to look at the corpse.
"Your Highness, this is the treasure of our clan. Previously, Fei had never mentioned it to anyone, not even Mensa and Chanda. You also know that there are other truths inside and outside, and if this thing is seen again, the consequences will be unimaginable! β
What will see the light of day again, and the consequences will be unimaginable? Do you think this is the real data on GDP growth in the provinces? See the light and die!
This group of two or five boys really has a set, each of them is cunning and cunning, tucked and hidden, if it wasn't for their own design to take the butterfly love flower, they didn't know that they had bone cups. If he hadn't moved out of the elves today, it would be hard to say whether he, Sorento, would have the chance to witness the treasures of the centaurs.
"That'sβthat's?"
Zhou Yu pretended to know, but he couldn't remember it. At this point, he can't have too many questions, otherwise he will be exposed.
When Fispes had finished praying, he got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his knees, and trembled to remove the object from the centaur skeleton. Zhou Yu took a few steps closer before he saw the true face of Lushan of that thing.
It turned out to be a scroll.
Lao Fei respectfully handed over the scroll with both hands and asked Zhou Yu to accept it. The Metropolitan Governor can't be polite, your play has come to an end, now I want to say haha, I'm just joking, and I can't make Lao Fei so angry that he has a heart attack, and he will die!
The object is very heavy to start with, the end of the shaft is made of a huge crystal, the material inside is unknown, and the tapestry scroll is actually woven from some kind of animal fur.
Draw?
Is this a painting?
The Metropolitan Governor was very curious to unseal it, and the seal made of pure leather had not been touched for hundreds of years, and it was almost slightly stained with sweat, and it was shattered all over the place.
Exhibition, exhibition, exhibition.
Zhou Yu's arm span was almost at the limit, and the painting was not fully opened. He had to beckon, motioning for Fispes to come over and give him a hand. It took a lot of effort for one and a half horses to finally let it see the light of day again.
After getting his hands on it, the Governor stared at the contents of the painting in a daze, and felt its material with his touch on the other.
This is not an ordinary animal fur, it is made of some kind of hair. Zhou Yu slapped his thigh, isn't this the cross-stitch of his previous life? It's just that instead of needle and thread, people use their own hair, that of slaves or prisoners of war.
But what shocked him more than the material was the content, the huge picture scroll seemed to depict a stable and peaceful paradise. On it, there are mountains and rivers, flowers and trees, peasant women and naughty children, and Mo on the path. What made his jaw drop was a huge lake in the middle of the scroll.
Quiet and peaceful, simple and profound, the lake water is brilliant, as if the dazzling sunlight was reflected at more than three o'clock in the afternoon, illuminating Zhou Yu couldn't open his eyes.
Is it so bright? The Governor was skeptical.
The ensuing scene was so frightened that he almost threw one end of the scroll to the ground. The lake in the painting actually fluctuates with the wind. Zhou Yu rubbed his eyes, held his breath and stared at the painting carefully.
This time I didn't run away, and there were still fish jumping up from the lake. It fluttered and fell back again, stirring up a little ripple.
Let me go, the lake in this painting is actually alive!
