A City in the Forest (4)
"What should I do if you want to talk to the elf over there who is holding dangerous goods?" asked Guran.
"Aren't you quite brainy? Don't be cowardly at this time, how about seducing?"
"Go to the seduction elves, look for a smoke. Quran sat down on the spot and began to think about countermeasures, because she had planned to take out the things from the ruins and retreat, but she didn't expect it to develop into this ghost, and she really needed to change her strategy.
"Okay, you think slowly, I'll go and have a conversation, the uncle is just a dog. "She's an extremely cautious person and doesn't think she will make a decision lightly without taking into account the overall plan. But I'm just a dog......
With the mentality of "just a dog", I walked unhurriedly to the elves' side, but when I was just ten meters away from them, the expressions of the twenty-two elves changed, and they all immediately went out, and surrounded me within three seconds.
"Uh......" I didn't expect them to be so excited about a dog, it seems that the legend of the elves' racial discrimination is very serious, at this moment I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat (drooling), "No, the convenience store over there has half price potato chips!" Isn't this something like that while drooling?
An hour later-
In the middle of the mysterious forest, in the highest treehouse in the [City in the Forest], the patriarch Alf asked me, "Lord Divine Dog, I don't know what other instructions you have in your words?
"This ...... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. That's too much of a god, and I added: "Anyway, 'let it be', it's fine." ”
Although I didn't think this sentence was very high, the five elves present suddenly had expressions of "What a strong spiritual pressure!", which made me nervous for a while.
"Didn't I say the wrong thing?"
"No, no, no...... No, no, no ......," the five elves, who didn't look too old, shook their heads in unison.
"Can you explain," Patriarch Alf asked humbly, "what is 'nature'?"
"How simple is this, don't you just live in nature, Yang Shi has a "Man and Nature" column, if you really don't understand, you can ask Mr. Zhao...... "Forget it, my words are a bit nonsensical, or you have to come to some fantasy to calm people first, after all, it is a magic continent, compared to talking about science, it is most effective to say something that people don't understand (and I don't understand)."
"I have a friend named Ye Ming, and I heard him occasionally say: Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature. "I'm not using him to block the gun, because Ye Ming's martial arts is a branch of Taoism, and when he is free, he will recite a betrayal, and when I am free, I will listen to him betray the Daozang, and it is normal to remember a sentence or two.
"Please explain it in detail, there are many allusions to these truths. ”
I still want to know what I can say about this half bucket of water!
"Uh...... It seems to say that everything in this world is regular, living beings follow the law of the earth, the earth follows the law of the sky, the sky follows the law of the avenue, and the avenue is to follow the nature. But this is natural...... It's a mysterious thing, and with my level, I can't comprehend it, and I can't let people understand it. ”
The expressions of the five high-ranking elves have their own characteristics, some are sudden, some are contemplative, some are silent, and some are in a daze, of course, they all want to ask questions again.
"Natural ......"
"Don't look at me, I really don't understand, I'm not professional when it comes to this, Mr. Zhao is a professional ......"
The patriarch Mr. Alf said again: "May I ask where this Teacher Zhao is?"
"This old gentleman is in a place that you can't reach, don't think about it, besides, he has more than a billion listeners, not a few of you, and he is already retired......"
The five elves said in unison: "It's a pity. ”
"Don't regret it, can you let me see where my friend is? Is she okay? Don't discriminate against humans, Mr. Zhao is a human race, not much worse than you. ”
"Oh, that little Terran girl is at my house," Alf replied, getting up, "and I'll take you to her at once." ”
I followed Alf out of this council room, leaving only those elves there to slowly enlighten, looking at their pious appearance, I really regret that I couldn't bring a copy of the Tao Te Ching, otherwise Chinese culture can be carried forward in a new place, eh...... Although still in an unreliable way.
"Your reasoning is very subtle, but it seems to be in line with our elven race's balanced way of living. ”
He was right, with my sense of smell, I could smell the steady balance of luck in this city in the woods, which was rare. Generally speaking, people and things have luck, and as far as I can see, these luck is changing all the time, and people's fortunes are changing dramatically. However, the fortunes of the elves and trees living in the city of the forest hardly have any twists and turns, which should be a state of equilibrium that they deliberately maintain.
"But you are still too conservative, and you have been shrinking into the mountains and forests, you must know that there is also a balanced method of development, and it must be combined for a long time, which is also the way. "What I'm saying is the truth, not pretending at all, "You gnaw on leaves and eat fruits every day, your body is so thin that it can be blown away by the wind, and the beauty of malnutrition is not real beauty, even your breasts are like this...... It's pretty good, too. ”
"Your words are as profound as ever. ”
We walk in the open-air corridor formed by the growth of trees, which is inextricably connected to hundreds of giant trees. And these giant trees are the foundation of this city in the forest, they protect thousands of tree houses in the shade of greenery, a veritable city in the forest and the sky.
The elves can indeed control the trees, and the branches, roots, and torsos of these giant trees can be inhabited and walked on, and there are only a few traces of carving and shaping in the eye, which is simple and elegant. These architectural complexes are really miracles in the history of architecture, taking into account the mysteries of green, environmental protection, health preservation and boredom. The most powerful thing is that it only needs to use a toilet land, plant a tree and build a house directly on the tree, the quality is amazing, a residence is thousands of years, it is a nightmare for real estate developers.
Alf's house is very ordinary, just in the middle of the city in the woods, more than 150 square meters, it is also a tree house, the horizontal analogy is nothing new, it seems that this patriarch is very simple in the local area, there should be no problem with the style of life.
But when I entered the door, I dispelled that thought.
"You're finally back. An elven girl who looked to be a teenager came over to greet her.
"Is this your daughter?"
"It's my wife, Elan. ”
"This ...... I didn't think you were still a Lolita, you really have a hand. "Don't explain to me that this girl is actually hundreds of years old, that doesn't justify your actions.
The young girl, who was serious and full of righteousness, replied, "What is that? Are you talking about some unfathomable truth?"
"No, Lolicon is an honorific title for a gentleman on our side. ”
"I see, I was deeply frightened. ”
"You deserve it, you don't have to be polite. ”
Gulan is in the next room, as a human she can't remember the way she came, so the rune elves used a sleeping spell on her to bring it, and she has been lying down since she came here, and the Lori wife is taking care of her.
After a few words of greeting with Alf, I began to cut to the chase: "Can you take me to the exit of that Bloodline Ruin?"
Alf made a similar statement to Pig Friend: "What are you doing there?"
Their tone was not a question, but a rhetorical question, and that tone was as lively as a warm-hearted neighbor's aunt who heard that I was going to the people's court. Can that place be so annoying? What the hell is there?
"That area was originally the territory of the Dark Elves, and we don't usually go there. ”
I heard the keyword: "Originally?"
"Yes, it was twenty years ago. However, one day twenty years ago, a demon appeared in that area and took over the forest of the dark elves. Alf sighed and said, "The dark elves and ours have different concepts of survival, so there has always been a gap between them. They came to ask for help when it happened, but at the time everyone agreed that it was a trap and stood by and watched the Dark Elves retreat, which made our relationship with the Dark Elves even worse. ”
"It turns out that there is such an inside story...... So the current owner of that area is the demon?"
"That's right, that demon is said to have mastered an evil magic that kills instantly, and even the dark elves suffer, let alone us who are not good at fighting. ”
It's no wonder that more than 20 of you can only watch that dark elf show off his might, it seems that he is really weak.
"We used to be at odds with the Dark Elves, and we always used rune enchantments to confront them. There's nothing we can do about this demon, so we haven't come into contact with it yet. ”
"But a friend of mine accidentally entered the ruins, and we asked him to wait at the exit for us. ”
"Entered the ruins?" Alf looked stunned......, "How could this be! It is said that there is a bit of a mental abnormality, and the clan does not dare to approach, who knows what the hell this person will put in his grave. This friend of yours is only afraid of bad luck and bad luck. ”
"Wouldn't it?" Speaking of psychosis, I just want the professor who has a missing string in his head.
"With all due respect, but it's true," Alf frowned, "Legend has it that there is one of the most powerful 'Ancient Blood Lodges' in the history of the Blood Clan, and that relic is one of the Thirteen Blood Lodges: Edie Ulysses Kingsman Le Mokawi, and you should know the legend of this great vampire." ”
How could I possibly know, I just know that the name is very distinctive: long.
After I answered the word "I don't know" truthfully, Alf looked at me as if he were looking at some kind of alien creature, as if the old elder's name was required for the final exam. In addition, this attitude of you knowing and despising me for not understanding makes me very unhappy.
"Have you heard of Batman, then?"
"What chivalry?"
"We're even. ”
