Text CH.78 The Transformation of Kahn Village
After cleaning up the battlefield, Oroboros was playing with the giant sword in the hands of the East Giant. This greatsword is a magic sword that can be constantly grown and smaller depending on the user's size. Such items are very common in YGGDRASIL, as there are a variety of characters of different sizes, such as dwarves and goblins, as large as minotaurs, titans, and titans. Because different races have different body types, this means that in reality, the props of each race are not common at all.
At the same time, it also means that if you bother to kill a BOOS that is completely different from your own race, you will not be able to use the equipment you get at all.
In addition, from the perspective of cost, it is obviously impossible to set up props specifically for different races, which is too wasteful of production resources. Therefore, when the producer sets up the props, he can only set the characteristics of various props that can be changed freely.
Lu Kelut looked around: "Since everyone has finished cleaning up the battlefield, let's hurry up and get on the road." The closest being to here should be called Karn Village, hurry back to Karn Village, I don't want to sleep in the jungle, it's too dangerous. ”
Ainz nodded in agreement, feeling rather bad sleeping in the jungle: "Then again, the reason why they came here to steal money seems to be because of the miracle that happened in Karn Village, so many believers of the Slian Sect have gone to the village to pay homage to the miracle, right?" ”
Oroboros approached Ainz and whispered to him, "Old Bone, the so-called miracle should be the 3D holographic phantom I made that day, right?" ”
"What do you think? Who else could there be? Don't you have a B-number in your heart? ”
Oroboros covered his face with a headache, it seems that no matter the people in that world, I just got something done on the front foot, and the villagers developed the village into a tourist attraction on the back foot...... This reminded Oroboros that the Grand Commander of the Celestial Empire had eaten in a small restaurant for a total of 20 yuan. Then, when the commander left, this one immediately became popular and was sought after by countless people, and many people simply went to a small shop across the province to get drunk and try the "presidential package......
Oroboros felt very embarrassed when he thought of this, "Then why don't we just go and see it, that village is not interesting......"
Old Bone let out a lewd laugh from under his helmet: "Hahaha, how is this possible? It's a miracle, a miracle or not, isn't it a pity that I don't go to see something interesting like this? ”
Oroboros wanted to cry without tears: "Old bone, you MMP!" ”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group marched silently, and it only took half an hour or so to reach the vicinity of Karn Village. As soon as he arrived at Karn, he immediately noticed that several brigades were slowly approaching Karn Village, which was diametrically opposed to the scene when he first arrived, when there was no one for ten miles, and it seemed that the village had really become quite popular.
Lu Kerut looked around for a moment and decided that there shouldn't be too many dangerous creatures around: "That, that! There are so many people here, I think you can relax......"
Aite also agreed very much: "Also, when you get here, there shouldn't be monsters like goblins, right?" ”
Hehehe, you don't know anything about harm, stupid earthlings......
Oroboros knew very well that General Ann Li should be the boss of the thirteen goblins by now......
No, maybe not...... Now there should be a difference from the original book, in the original book, this small village did not attract the attention of others until the old bone was about to attack the kingdom of Rijestij, but now this village has almost become the "holy land" of the Slian Sect, and I don't know if these thirteen goblins have been summoned.
You must know that the Slian Sect is extremely hostile to the existence of creatures other than humans, and even creatures such as elves, which are completely identical to humans except for their ears that are longer than humans, have very strong hostility.
However, to be precise, the root cause of the contradiction between the Slian Sect and the Elven Kingdom is not a racial conflict, but the result of a combination of these factors.
In the Slian Sect, there is an existence known as "the strongest indigenous female warrior in another world" - desperate.
It is worth mentioning that Desperate Death is not a pure human, but a girl with half-elf blood, which makes her hair color different from left to right, and her eyes are also of different colors, which should be inherited from her elf father's blood. Her ears were also inherited from her father, and she hated her elven ancestry so much that she hid her pointed ears under her hair, hating it when people saw her ears.
Her father was no ordinary person either. In the eleventh volume of the original novel, it is revealed that his desperate father is the king of the elven kingdom.
The human race is unable to have children from the sub-human race, and from a genetic point of view, humans and subhumans are reproductively isolated, and it is impossible to be born with a desperate death, but the author Maruyama just let her be born.
The Elven King once seduced a woman and captured her, and she was the secret weapon of the Church. In the original book, it was said: "He tied the woman with a chain, forced her, and successfully impregnated her, but the child was snatched away by the dark holy book before it was born." The child who was born was desperate.
This elf king is not a god. He did this only so that "one day, a mighty army of his own children will sweep the whole world."
As a result, before the children of the elf king grew up, the church country first took the elf kingdom down. In the end, it seems that it was because the Elven King pulled a strong foreign aid that he was saved from being destroyed by the Slian Sect. However, the contradiction with the elven country has always existed.
Excluding creatures like elves, the Slian Sect has adopted an extremely cruel policy towards the remaining sub-human races, which can be summed up in one word: "kill"! Negan, the captain of the Sunshine Codex, who is still paying Nirost in the Great Tomb and plays the game of "smashing your filth inch by inch with a hammer" every day, is the person in charge of the task of slaughtering the sub-human race, and the number of sub-humans who have died at his hands can be said to be countless, often the entire village is slaughtered......
Therefore, it is difficult to imagine what kind of means and measures the travelers of the Slian Sect would take after seeing General Ann Lien's goblin in such an environment.
"Alright, we're almost to Karn Village......"
Everyone's eyes turned to the village that was gradually appearing in front of them. It was a modest village next to the forest. There is no strange atmosphere, and there is nothing to worry about.
However, Oroborose immediately noticed that this village was very different from the village in the original book.
In the original book, the village should have been built with a very strong wooden fence at this time. At this time, however, there was no sign of the presence of any wall.
This scene is also normal, in the original book, after the events in Karn Village ended, there were no other important events for a long time. However, in this world, Karn Village is the "place where the gods descend", so it has attracted the attention of all forces. Under these circumstances, the Great Tomb of Nasalik did not do much to interfere with the post-disaster construction of the village of Kahn.
Oroboros turned his head to look at Ainz, and he noticed that Ainz seemed to be weird, as if he had been "humming", as if he wanted to laugh but held back.
Auroboros instinctively felt that there must be something that Ainz hadn't told him, and that this matter would definitely hit him hard!
Filled with doubts, Oroboros walked along the path of the wheat field.
The wheat fields scattered on both sides of the wheat are dyed green by the wheat and sway in the occasional breeze. The appearance of the Zongren walking on the road is as if he is soaking in a green pool.
Standing on the side of the country road, Lukrut carefully looked at the wheat growing on both sides of the road, "The wheat in Karn Village is really luxuriant, I have never seen wheat grow so luxuriantly!" ”
It was only then that Oroboros realized that the wheat growing on both sides of Karn Village was extraordinarily lush. It is not correct to say that it is wheat that grows outside the village of Karn, after all, wheat that is nearly a meter tall can no longer be said to be wheat, and the ears of wheat produced by wheat are already the size of sorghum, and from a distance they look as amazing as a small broom.
As a person living in the countryside, Oroboros knew very well how many wheat seeds a single wheat tree could produce.
Auroboros carefully ripped an ear of wheat from the wheat outside the village of Karn, and then carefully counted the number of ears on it, the more he counted, the more shocked his expression became.
Seeing Oroboros's expression, Ainz asked very strangely, "Auroboros, what are you doing, is there anything strange about these wheat?" ”
"Ainz, do you think the wheat in front of you is any different from the wheat in other places?"
Ainz took the ear of wheat from his hand and shook his head, "I've never touched the farmland, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the wheat here. ”
Oroboros handed the ears of wheat to the Sword of Darkness, "Lukolut, what do you think?" ”
"I feel that the wheat in Karn Village seems to be surprisingly large, many times larger than ordinary wheat. ”
Aite also nodded: "When I was young, I grew up in the countryside, so I am very familiar with agricultural production, and it is the first time I have seen such a huge ear of rice. ”
"Ainz, didn't you say you had never touched the farmland? Then I'll give you a science popularization! Auroboros held up the wheat in his hand and began to explain, like a biology teacher in a middle school: "A wheat is usually tillered into 3-4 ears, and the average maximum number of grains per ear is 45. According to this calculation, a wheat seed can grow up to 160 grains of wheat, and the wheat reproduction coefficient is generally 100 times. ”
"Then the wheat in Karn Village is ......"
"The wheat in Kahn Village actually has more than 100 grains of wheat in one ear, and four ears of wheat means that the wheat in Kahn Village has four times more yield than normal wheat!"
Anz, who had no idea about agricultural production at all, shook his head, "What if there are four times more?" ”
"If there is four times more agri-food production in the 22nd century, then your monthly food expenses will be reduced to about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the Engel index will drop to between 15 and 20 percent."
(Note: Under normal circumstances, the average monthly income of low-level workers in Japan is about 200,000 yen, which is about 13,000 yuan.) In the Engel coefficient, food accounts for 50%-60% of household expenditure, so the monthly per capita Engel consumption index of Anz is more than 100,000 yen. )
