Chapter 52: Confused
Listening to the fact that the technology gradually regressed due to being in a safe and stable environment for a long time, the white wolf couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In fact, it is not necessarily a regression, but because the foxes have lost the motivation to learn, just imagine, if you learn or not, learn hard or not, the final result is the same, are happy to live in this village, then what reason do people have to learn, after all, laziness is one of the nature of people.
"Looks like you seem to realize this is a mistake now?" Looking at the two people's somewhat lost expressions, the white wolf was a little curious.
"There were only a few foxes who didn't think it was right, and most of them didn't care. It wasn't until one day, when a rune array used to irrigate farmland went wrong and the power was insufficient to pump enough water, that the foxes realized the seriousness of the matter gradually increased, and we tried to restore the technology left by our ancestors, but the progress was quite slow. Qingyue replied a little helplessly.
"So, you have some trouble with the analysis of runes?" Hearing this, the white wolf became excited, analyzing runes is what he is best at, if the more runes he analyzes, it also means that his strength will be stronger.
However, he still suppressed his excitement for the time being, he didn't want to behave too badly in front of the two foxes, which might cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.
The two foxes nodded in unison.
"Maybe, I can help you. As a guest, it's not good to eat for nothing. "The white wolf casually found a reason, in fact, his true idea is to take this opportunity to improve his strength, if the analysis of the rune is successful, not only will he improve his strength, but also help the foxes solve the problems in life, why not?
"Are you really willing to help us?" Qingyue asked in shock, and the two foxes were obviously surprised to hear that the white wolf was willing to help.
"If you can help us restore our ancestors' technology, you will be the benefactor of our fox clan!" said Absinthe excitedly.
"That's what I'm saying, don't forget about the benefactor or something, in fact, I'm also for myself, and I'm also very interested in your rune technology here. Looking at such simple foxes, the white wolf finally couldn't bear to lie anymore and told his original purpose.
"Rune technology is nothing, if you can really do it, after this, I am willing to follow you before and after the saddle. Absinthe said sincerely, it seems that he is really troubled by technical difficulties.
"What are you talking nonsense?" Qingyue on the side heard Absinthe hot-headed and said such things, and quickly tugged on his sleeve, hoping that he would sober up.
"Haha... Yes.... That one... I don't care what to follow, but I still need the consent of "grandma" and my mother. Seeing Qingyue's displeased look, Absinthe quickly rounded up his words and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Don't need your father's consent?" asked the white wolf curiously.
"Haha, I don't know who my dad is. Absinthe replied with a smile, looking at the white wolf's puzzled eyes, he explained to the white wolf the polyandry and polygamous marriage system of the foxes.
"Is it because the fertility rate is so low that the marriage system is so strange? No wonder your people can live on such a large place. The white wolf was relieved, and the words of Absinthe answered a question that had been haunting him, the foxes seemed to have lived here for a long time, but why was there no shortage of land?
The white wolf thought of the days spent with the goblins before, the goblins and the foxes are completely different, the goblins give birth very quickly, the pregnant female goblin can give birth once a month, can give birth to three to five little goblins at a time, there is no time between giving birth and getting pregnant again, the white wolf feels a little scary when he thinks about it, he can hear the cry of the newborn little goblin almost every day in the days he had.
"I don't know what happened to those goblins? Now that I think about it, there's a good chance that the mushroom cultivation base I made for them won't be able to meet their needs. Thinking of the speed at which the goblin population was expanding, the white wolf wondered if he should have found more food for them in the first place, but then dismissed the idea, he couldn't be a nanny for the goblins, they needed to find a source of food for the extra population themselves.
"Oops! mush! muddle!" Qingyue suddenly screamed, the sound was so loud that the white wolf's ears were sore, and the white wolf adjusted the wind language technique into automatic translation into Chinese, which made him think that there was such a thing as mahjong in another world.
"It's raw ham!" Absinthe also shouted, and then quickly ran to the counter to rummage through the clips inside, his voice was not much smaller than that of Qingyue.
"No, it's already mushy ham" Listening to the echo in his ears, smelling the strong smell of burning, because he had just woken up, the white wolf, who was still a little confused, was completely awake now, and then calmly mobilized the water element in his body to output runes, and extinguished the firewood that was burning below.
"It's all because I forgot to turn off the heat, but fortunately there are guests, otherwise this pot will definitely be troublesome to clean up..."Absinthe guiltily took the blackened slices of roasted meat out of the pot.
"No, we're all responsible, let's stop chatting just yet, let's make breakfast. "The white wolf is indeed a little hungry.
The two foxes and one wolf were in a hurry for a while, and finally made breakfast, and there were other foxes who secretly came to check the situation in the middle, and seemed to be attracted by the scream just now, and saw that nothing seemed to have happened, so they left in a huff.
"You two have really good voices, how do you feel that your voice has woken up the whole village, this is the first time? I don't know, I think I killed the fox. The white wolf lay on the ground and couldn't help complaining, just for a while, several foxes had already come over to check the situation, even now, there was a small gathering of foxes at the door, probably peeping at them eating.
The white wolf can't be on the table now, so he can only put the plate on the ground to eat, and to be honest, the ham stored by the foxes is really delicious, lightly salty, and it tastes very fragrant.
"We can't help it... Our fox clan was born with a good voice. Qingyue said, but there didn't seem to be any shame in her tone, but rather proud of her loud voice.
"If you go to be a singer, you will definitely be quite successful. The white wolf couldn't help but take the standards of that world and evaluated the foxes' voices, and he only now realized that the voices of both absinthe and Qingyue were quite pleasant, and it was easy to make a deep impression.
"Singer, what is that?" asked Absinthe curiously, and Qing Yue also looked at the white wolf with an interested gaze, it was a term they had never heard before, and even the wind language technique could not make them understand the meaning of the word accurately.
"Singer... It is... Belch.......... People who touch people's hearts with their songs. The white wolf hesitated for a moment and gave his answer.
