Chapter 172: Heart of Nature
Frustrated, Liang Ke glared fiercely at the Night Elf knight who had given up his mount to Deborah, and then reached out to knock out the flower in Atwood's hand. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Aren't you allergic to flowers?
"I'm allergic to flowers, but after a few days, I found that I'm not allergic to flowers here. ”
Atwood took out a petal from the wooden bowl in his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then said with a look of enjoyment: "It's delicious!"
Liang Ke was so angry that he reached out to fight again, this time Atwood was prepared, jumped on Sanduo's ass with a wooden bowl, pouted and said: "Don't always think about making me angry, you are too full of words, it's good to eat less, why do you swear to say that you don't stick at all?"
"You... You... You..."Liang Ke "you" for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and threatened: "Anyone can go against me, but you can't, don't forget that you are still an otter, hum!"
People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, Atwood looked helpless, and could only struggle under Liang Ke's obscenity, the six whiskers on his lips twitched violently a few times, and then reluctantly stuffed the small wooden bowl into the hands of the night elf knight beside him, closed his eyes and began to meditate, and he didn't know if he could really calm down and communicate with the magic element.
In this dark green forest, the Night Elves are the absolute masters, and this control can even extend to every inch of land. Here, the Night Elves never need scouts, they can get all the information they need from the sound of gophers, the flight of butterflies, and the scent of flowers and plants in the wind. Just now, Liang Ke even saw the leader of the stinky fart talking to a big tree, and Liang Ke felt a chill on his body, isn't this the legendary "mountain spirit water monster"? It turns out that there is such a thing as a fairy in this world.
Later, Atwood told him that it was a "tree man", which was fundamentally different from the monsters in Liang Ke's head who had cultivated to become elites. It is said that the Treants are the darlings of the goddesses of nature, and although they are not much different in appearance from ordinary trees and move very slowly, they are extremely tall and have extraordinary natural powers. As long as they have their feet on the earth, they can gain a steady stream of vitality and live long enough to look at the change of dynasty with indifference. However, as the guardians of the Tree of Life, they are also unable to breed, and can only rely on the fruits of the Tree of Life to slowly replenish the scarce population.
Treemen are typical pacifists, and there will be little to no war wherever there are treemen. On the one hand, it is because of the gentle nature of the Treants inherited from the goddesses of nature, on the other hand, their great strength also discourages potential enemies, and of course, the most important thing is the needs of the Treants themselves. The number of tree people is scarce, they can't withstand the baptism of war at all, and their slow movement ability and flammable body are destined to fear the spread of war, so they hate war.
However, in ancient times, there were many wars, and the seemingly powerful but fragile Treants could only choose the Night Elves of the same origin as their allies, and found this isolated world through hardships, relying on the energy of the Tree of Life to turn this barren land into an oasis and live a peaceful and peaceful life.
In fact, Liang Ke was very envious of the life of the Night Elves, carefree and undisputed, if possible, he really didn't want to break the silence and peace here. Along the way, he kept thinking, such an environment can undoubtedly restore the demons to life, but how can two completely different races coexist peacefully, and why should he let the master cut out the land, he is really at a loss, and even, he is ready to give up his godhead and honestly go back to guard his homeland.
After coming to this world, Liang Ke felt so hesitant for the first time, and the beautiful scenery along the way couldn't make him a little happier until he stood in front of the majestic palace.
The palace of the Night Elves was the same as their complexion, dark with a faint glow. Huge layers of obsidian stone are piled up on pedestals tens of meters high, and the wide steps are carved with moon flowers on the left and robins on the right, which are flat and lead straight to the palace gate.
Walking up the 180 steps, there is a magnificent pure wooden palace, Liang Ke visually observed that the giant trees supporting the dome are more than ten meters in diameter. There is a soft light overflowing from the palace gate of the black hole, and through the light, you can clearly see that there is a huge wood carving directly above the palace gate. Twelve different forms of the moon are distributed in a semicircle, representing the movement of the moon, and in the center stands the moon goddess Mu En, who has a soft curve and clear eyes, and at her side, a black dragon with its wings spread and soaring for nine days is surrounded, and at her feet, there is a strong and powerful white tiger with a solemn expression.
In front of the palace gate, there is a team of gold-armored warriors standing on the left and right, the giant sickle in their hands is like the moon at the beginning of the month, thin and curved, the arrogance in their eyes is like the green peacock that Liang Ke saw on the way, the oblique gaze skimmed over the heads of the guests, and no one was put in his eyes at all, Liang Ke muttered in his heart, these guards at the gate did not see these people, could they just use their ears to judge whether the person who came was a friend or foe?
"General Songgli! ”
Before Liang Ke could open his mouth to ask when he would see Her Majesty, a beautiful maid in palace clothes walked out and politely greeted Songgli.
"Duty, nothing hard, is Her Majesty here?"
Her Majesty invites our guests in. ”
The maid saluted Songgli again, then turned to Liang Ke and said politely, "Distinguished guest, please come with me." With that, the maid turned around, swung her slender waist, and led Liang Ke into the palace, while Deborah, who was seriously wounded, was sent to rest by Songgli's guards and asked the priest of life of the Night Clan to heal her.
In contrast to the silence outside the palace, the hall was full of night elves, shuttling back and forth in the corridors like cobwebs, occasionally seeing three or two people standing on the side of the corridor with a scroll in hand, discussing softly, and then going their separate ways after a short discussion.
The maid was very lively, and when she saw Liang Ke's incomprehensible affection, she took the initiative to explain.
"This is not only His Majesty's royal palace, but also the only building of our clan. In fact, you can think of this as a city within a city. ”
"A city within a city?"
"Yes. We don't have many people, and we usually live in our own treehouses. Her Majesty the Queen led the people to build this five-storey castle in order to allow them to inherit the knowledge of their ancestors and improve the efficiency of the operation of the clan, which we all call the 'Heart of Nature'.
Here you can find a school for children to go to school, a hospital for the sick to see a doctor, a library for archival books, an art gallery for artists, a training ground for warriors to improve their martial arts, and even a market for vendors to trade!"
The maid showed an unconcealed pride in this place, and Liang Ke was also impressed by the Night Elves' architectural ability and artistic talent, and he couldn't imagine what kind of machinery he would have to use to lift those 10,000-pound giant trees, and use such materials to build a five-story fortress with a height of more than ten meters. It seems that he still underestimated the wisdom of this world.
The little maid saw that Liang Ke was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close, and she was even more proud, she pointed to a thin steel cable hanging in the air above her head and introduced with a smile: "Sir, have you seen that steel cable?"
"Well, there's a little car hanging over it, it's so cleverly designed, what is it for?"
"That's the tool we use to deliver our messages, and we call it 'Fetion'. ”
As soon as the little maid's voice fell, as if to cooperate with her to explain the function, a soldier on the second floor put a neatly folded paper card in the cart, and then gently pushed the cart with his hand, and the light cart quickly slid out under the drive of two pulleys, and in an instant, the cart slid along the steel cable to the other end, and the metal body just hit a copper bell and stopped, and the bell made a "ding" The soldier at the other end picked up the card and looked at the address, then put the card in another cart and sent it farther away.
"What a clever design, what if this letter is to be sent to someone on another level?"
"You are such a clever and attentive man, come with me, sir. ”
The open Night Elf maid took Liang Ke's hand, ran a few steps, went around behind a large pillar, pointed to the same steel cable and cart on it, and said, "The messenger should remember everyone's room number, if you don't remember it, it doesn't matter, you can look it up in the manual." Then, after they get the letters, they first deliver the letters to that floor through the longitudinal speed car on the pillar, and the messenger on the management floor is responsible for sorting, so there will be no problem!"
Liang Ke looked up at the huge patio, and as the maid said, there were two steel cables on the side of each giant wood that reached the dome, and the trolleys on these steel cables were running like flying, passing information up and down. Such an efficient information transmission system is unheard of on the mainland, and Liang Ke secretly sighed, I am afraid that the efficiency of this system is not much slower than that of the telephone.
"You designed this system yourself?" asked Liang Ke curiously.
"It was designed by Her Majesty the Queen, isn't it very effective?"
"Yes, this is a brilliant design, and Her Majesty's wisdom is unimaginable. ”
treats excellent people, Liang Ke never hesitates to praise people, especially women. In his mind, the top powerhouse in any field must be a man, whether in his past life or in this life. So, once a woman achieves more than he has seen, then she will quickly occupy an important place in his heart, and the love for Lampbell and Deborah is based on this.
Liang Ke hid his curiosity about the queen, and when he looked at the building more closely, he found that in addition to the artwork and murals everywhere, the most important feature of this building is that it is clean, both the ground and the staircase handrails are spotless. Elves have a habit of cleanliness, this is a well-known thing, but how do they keep such a huge building clean? Liang Ke couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"Huh!"
The little maid was very happy to answer Liang Ke's humble question, she excitedly pulled Liang Ke to the corner of the corridor, reached out and twisted a wooden faucet, and the clear water flowed into the wooden basin below, and then flowed down the water pipe under the wooden basin.
"Tap water?"
Liang Ke was stunned by the little maid's performance and couldn't help yelling.
"Tap water? Hehehe! Mr.'s term is a bit strange, but it is indeed water that comes by itself. ”
The little maid crossed her waist with one hand and pointed to the ceiling above her head and said, "We have a lot of rain here, and the roof of the building has been designed by Her Majesty the Queen as a large pool, and the water is precipitated and enters every corner of the building through such pipes, so that we can drink sweet water at any time, and our cleaners can also use this water to clean every corner at any time." Look there again!"
The maid pointed to the huge melon-shaped painting under the ceiling and said, "It's not just an ornament, if there is a fire here, the water inside will spew out, and the fire will be quickly extinguished, so that the fire will not spread, and the damage will not be too great." ”
The more Liang Ke listened, the more frightened he became, but he also became more and more excited, and he even began to wonder if this omnipotent Queen Her Majesty was the same as himself, and he was also a time-traveler from the earth. His curiosity quickened his pace, causing the little maid to trot behind him with her skirt in her hand, and to shout incessantly, "Sir, you wait for me, you are wrong, you are going in the wrong direction." ”
