Chapter 19: A little green on the head

The idea of telling the truth flashed through Juan's mind and disappeared without a trace.

Juan said with a serious face, "It's a custom, a custom of the tree elves, they don't allow other creatures with hair colors to walk in their reservation.

"In exchange for allowing me to walk, I had to agree to let them dye my hair.

"You know, Morgan, they've used a magical herb.

"I don't know what it is, I don't know anything about herbs.

"But it's magical, it dyes my hair like this all at once, and I can't wash it off."

Morgan nodded knowingly: "Yes, the tree elves are the best at fiddling with plants, they have a lot of magical herbs, I haven't seen them, but I know them." ”

Then he turned his head and ordered, "Frodo, you go back and boil the water first, our guests need to take a good hot bath." ”

"Okay, Daddy."

"Thorin, you go hunt a demon antelope and come back, and we'll have a barbecue in the evening."

"Are you sure you want me to go hunting?"

"It's time to practice your marksmanship, Thorin, sharpshooters aren't born, they're trained."

"Understood, Daddy, I'll go."

Watching the dwarf with the Gatling gun on his shoulder walk away, Juan said with some confusion, "Are you sure we can have a barbecue at night?" I think he can only bring back minced meat. ”

"You may not be able to bring anything back, but it doesn't matter, there is leftover pasta in the fridge."

"And you're going to let him go hunting?"

Morgan said calmly: "Everything has a beginning. ”

After walking silently for a while, Morgan suddenly introduced Juan to the plants of the prairie with a serious face.

"Boiling the henna for 45 minutes can extract the yellow of Rausson, although it is not as bright as the turmeric root, but the yellow color is also very positive.

"Blue can be extracted from indigo plants, the process is very simple, indigo is reduced during fermentation, soaked in an alkaline solution, and indigo cryptosomes can be formed.

"Ah, there's a glow-in-the-dark tree over there, see? The one with a thick trunk.

"When night comes, the edges of its leaves glow in small half-circles, like the arc of a planetary ring, and the natives here call it the 'ring tree'."

"Really? But why? ”

"It is said to be related to phosphine trihydrogen, do you know phosphine trihydrogen?"

"No, I don't know much about chemistry."

"So you don't know that mixing yellow and blue, and adding phosphine-rich star ring sap, you can get a fluorescent green, right?"

"I know that yellow and blue can get green."

"However, plant dyes are not as stable as chemical dyes and are easy to decompose."

"yes, that's why everybody uses chemical dyes now."

"But there's a secret recipe for this, and that's using halfling urine."

"Won't it taste too strong?"

"So add the saliva neutralization of the dragonmen."

"Will it be poisoned?"

"Fight poison with poison."

"Makes sense."

Juan, who had learned a new knowledge, was in a good mood and did not let him complain even if he could only eat frozen pasta for dinner.

It was already the afternoon of the second day back at the pioneer station.

After settling the commission with Morgan, Juan found that his pocket money was only a few hundred alliance coins.

There are also bounties totaling more than 1 million on the platform, and the fall from a height before the "disconnection" has won Juan a lot of tips with a mantissa of 1.

The reward is followed by touching messages such as "Go all the way", "The greatness of life, the obscenity of death", "Never lift", "I want to burn money for you but I can't find the paper".

When Juan entered the Pioneer Station building, he was stopped by security guards.

"Go and go, and don't look at this place, can you tree elves come?!"

"I'm human."

"People with this hair?"

"Dyed."

"Don't move, I'll brush your face! Ouch! It's Mr. Juan! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it just now, I'm really sorry. That, Mr. Juan, your hair is really special, doesn't my wife care? ”

Juan said proudly: "I'm a single dog." ”

The security guard gave him a thumbs up.

Upon entering the hall, Juan ran into Soma, the stationmaster.

"Isn't this Juan? How did you go and decided to emigrate? ”

"Still thinking about it."

"What else are you thinking about? I'm telling you, there's no better place for you. ”

"When I think about it, it's a big deal after all."

"Also, immigration means moving a hukou, which is something that can affect a lifetime, and you really need to think about it, but sometimes people have to be a little adventurous."

"I know."

"Haha, don't say it, don't say it, decide your own things, and it will be annoying if I persuade me to continue.

"Hey, your hair is pretty good, how did you dye it?"

"The yellow and indigo of henna, with the sap of the star ring rich in phosphine."

"I know these plants, but can they have this effect?"

"There's a secret recipe."

Juan leaned over to Soma and whispered.

"Oh, I see." Soma admired and distanced himself from Juan without a trace, "I still have some problems, you can come to me after thinking about it." ”

Juan decides to go to the second-floor bar for a drink, where he meets Berner, the navigator.

Berner is lying on the bar, watching a portable holographic projection.

In the projection, an expert is talking: "1,000 years ago, human beings' use of nuclear energy was only to make bombs and boil water, but now we have played nuclear fusion out, is it the progress of science and technology?" No, if you want me to say, it's the emancipation of the mind......"

"Birner, what are you looking at?"

"Hi Juan, did you have a good time? What's the matter with your hair? ”

"Dyed, the latest and trendiest hairstyle at the moment."

The expert in the projection took out a fluorescent green night pot: "If you are interested in my popular science, I recommend liking and paying attention." Now I would like to introduce you to one of the latest and most trendy night pots. Just 188! 188! Oh Maga! Why are you hesitating about being so cheap? Buy it, buy it, buy it!! ”

Juan was a little embarrassed: "What's so nice about this kind of expert, it's all a fool." Bartender, bring me a vodka martini and shake it without stirring. ”

"It's boring, it's not like you, you can go out casually. Sweetheart, change the news. ”

The projector switched to video, and a councillor was giving a speech on the street, with a badge pinned to his chest and the image of an ostrich with his head buried in the sand:

"The cultural, artistic and scientific and technological achievements displayed before us today are all created by human beings.

"Genetic mixing and the resulting reduction in racial levels were the only reasons for the decline of ancient cultures.

"Look at it, alien humanoids poison our human genes every day in various ways.

"Think about it, this genetic toxin can only be eliminated from our human organism after a few centuries, or never can be eliminated.

"Think about it again, humans mixed with humanoid genes will have a noticeable decline in strength and intelligence......"
