(Yesterday, SB's locked 10,000 words in the small black room.,As a result, I overestimated myself.,It's only out today.,Today it's expected to be updated in five chapters)
~~~~~~~~~~
"A Brief History of the Effen Empire", "The Origin of the Druids", "Encyclopedia of Biological Species", "The Development of the Stringed Piano", "Appreciation of the Sculpture of the Master de Sammenlu", ......
Lisa's bookshelf at home has a lot of books, and there are many types, including history, music, sculpture, mathematics and physics, etc., obviously, the civilization of the Effon Empire has developed to a very high level, not inferior to the human magic civilization.
Music books are the most numerous, taking up most of the shelves.
Xiao Chen didn't have much research on music, so he randomly took out a few books of interest and looked at them.
"The predecessor of the Effon Empire was the Moonlight Druid Alliance, which was mainly composed of half-elves, dwarves, and Sturmo......"
Xiao Chen first looked through the "A Brief History of the Yifeng Empire", and the book has a detailed introduction to the origin of the Yifeng Empire, as well as the division of forces...... He has strong mental strength, and he reads books very quickly, and a finger-thick book is finished by him in a few minutes.
Immediately after that, he looked at some other information about the geography of the continent, and he needed to know more about the world......
Just as he was looking intently, a small figure walked into the room barefoot.
"Uncle!"
She tugged at Xiao Chen's knees and climbed up like a little monkey.
Xiao Chen could only close the book and pinch her round face: "Little ghost, what are you doing?"
"Sugar, honey...... Give ......!" she held an iron box full of sweets made of honey in the shape of various animals.
Her voice was slurred, her mouth was already stuffed with honey, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the yellow sugar juice flowed down the corners of her mouth, sticky dripping on Xiao Chen's clothes, Xiao Chen smiled dumbly, and reached out to wipe the sugar juice from the corners of her mouth.
"Hello. Eat it yourself!"
"Uncle eats too. Sweet, sweet!" Nan Nan stretched out her slimy little hand and grabbed a piece of honey in the shape of a monkey and put it in Xiao Chen's mouth.
Xiao Chen couldn't resist her, swallowed the piece of honey, and nodded: "It's very sweet." ”
Nan Nan clapped her hands happily.
"Uncle, tell me a story!" Nan Nan skillfully pointed to a copy of "Yifeng Story Collection" on the shelf.
Xiao Chen pulled down the book and opened it, and there were short stories inside. There is a page in the middle that has been discounted, and I should have read that one.
Xiao Chen asked Nan Nan to sit down on his lap and began to read: "In the middle of the boundless sea, there is a small island, and on the small island grows a group of blue-skinned elves......"
"Mr. Xiao Chen...... Dinner was ready. ”
I don't know when, Lisa came to the door of the study on the second floor. Seeing the girl who was lying quietly in Xiao Chen's arms listening to the story, there was a trace of tenderness in her eyes.
"Are you ready?" Xiao Chen closed the book, raised his head, touched the head of the girl who was still in love, and said, "Eat, little ghost!"
He lifted her up and let her ride on his neck, giggling and laughing.
"Hello. Hurry down. How can you ride on your uncle's head. Lisa hurriedly shouted.
"It's fine. Xiao Chen waved his hand: "The little guy is not heavy...... Run, mom is coming. ”
He teased the girl around his neck. While running out of the study and coming to the restaurant downstairs, Xiao Chen put Nannan down and put her on a chair on the side.
Lisa walked over behind and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Chen, you will spoil the girl like this." ”
"No, Nan Nan is a very well-behaved child, isn't it?" Xiao Chen lowered his head and asked the little girl sitting next to him.
Nan Nan proudly cocked her little head and said to Lisa, "Mom, I'm very well-behaved." ”
"Are you still good? I've said a few times, don't run into the forest outside the city alone, if it weren't for Uncle Xiao Chen this time, something would have happened to you!" Lisa said, as if she remembered the anxiety of looking for Nan Nan that day, and a trace of tears appeared in her eyes.
"Mom, I won't dare next time, don't cry, don't dare anymore. When she saw that Lisa was about to cry, her small mouth was deflated, and her big eyes were filled with tears.
Lisa remembered that there were still guests at home, held back her emotions, wiped away her tears, and said apologetically to Xiao Chen: "Mr. Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry to let you see the joke." ”
"It's fine. ”
Xiao Chen shook his head, picked up the small bowl in front of Nannan, helped her fill a bowl of mushroom soup, touched the little guy's head and said, "Okay, don't cry, I'm very hungry, let's eat quickly." ”
Nan Nan was indeed very hungry, and she hadn't eaten for a day, so she was distracted by Xiao Chen, and immediately picked up a spoon and drank the mushroom soup.
There was no meat on the table, but a variety of fruits and vegetables were also on the table.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, I'm really sorry that I don't have too many dishes to entertain you. "Lisa is afraid that Xiao Chen is from other places and is not used to eating druid food.
"It's already good. Xiao Chen smiled, took out a bottle of wine from the space bracelet as he spoke, and said, "Do you mind if I drink some wine?"
"Wine ...... Ah, you feel free. Lisa was stunned for a moment, obviously knowing about the space container, although the druid's space container was generally a belt.
"Because no one in the house drinks...... So I didn't prepare ......."
"It's okay......" Xiao Chen opened the wine bottle, and saw Nan Nan looking at him with curiosity and expectation, he dipped a little on the spoon and let Nan Nan lick it, which immediately made her whole little face red, and even stuck out her tongue: "It's so bitter and spicy, uncle, why do you drink such a bad thing." ”
"Haha......" Xiao Chen laughed.
While drinking, Xiao Chen also talked with Lisa about the customs.
"Mr. Xiao Chen, where are you from? You shouldn't be from the Yifeng Empire. Lisa asked curiously.
"Oh, I'm from a very distant place, I'm traveling the whole continent, and I happened to pass by here, and I heard the name of Odaraan, so I wanted to come and see it......" Xiao Chen said.
"Then you have come to the right place, you can stay here tonight, tomorrow I will be your tour guide, there are many beautiful places in Odaraan, you must go once. Lisa said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Lisa, and just call me Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was not in a hurry to leave.
The two chatted until the end of dinner, and Xiao Chen got more news from Lisa's mouth.
However, the Druid Empire is relatively closed, and the ancient battlefield continent is huge, and there are many places that Lisa has never heard of.
That night, Xiao Chen stayed in the room that Lisa had prepared for him.
The next day, Lisa got up early and prepared breakfast, and when Xiao Chen got up and finished breakfast, she warmly invited Xiao Chen to go out to play, and Nan Nan followed behind like a little tail.
The city of Odan is huge, and the whole city is in a circle.
Clean streets are interspersed in the city of Oddaran, and there are no horse-drawn carriages or other means of transportation throughout the city, and everyone is on foot. Compared with the general city, the design of Oddaran is different, and the most in the city is a fountain square, and there are sculptures created by various art masters on the fountain square.
Beside the fountain, there are many bards.
The music of the stringed harp is accompanied by the chanting of the bard, and the beautiful rhythm wafts in the wind......
The whole city is full of art.
Lisa, a musician at the Oddaran Nature Shrine and a lover of music, takes Xiao Chen on a stroll around the city of Oddaran and introduces him to the origins of the sculptures and the melody of the music.
After walking all morning, I came to the center of the city.
"Look, Xiao Chen, in front of you is our Oddaran Natural Shrine. After Lisa and Xiao Chen got acquainted, they also began to call their names.
Xiao Chen looked over, and a magnificent building appeared in front of him, built on a huge tall building, with milky white stone pillars thousands of meters high, lined up in rows, supporting a majestic palace.
"The Natural Shrine is a place where our residents of Oddaran usually pray and worship, and it is also the leading organization of our Efeng Empire, every druid of the Efeng Empire is proud to join the Divine Palace, I am the preparatory priest of the Divine Palace, as long as it takes another year, I can be transferred to a full priest. Lisa said proudly.
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you to visit the shrine. Lisa took Xiao Chen and walked over there.
Nan Nan was already tired of walking, sitting on Xiao Chen's shoulder, looking around excitedly.
In front of the shrine is a huge plaza, and in the center of the square is an impossibly large giant tree, and the canopy of the tree covers the entire square and the shrine.
The shrine is usually open to the public in front of the main hall, Xiao Chen and Lisa, up the stairs, walked to the front of the shrine, the druid's shrine is bathed in the green light of life, full of vibrant flavor.
Many druids stood or sat on the steps outside the shrine, chatting.
Lisa took Xiao Chen to the Divine Palace, and only the main hall of the Divine Palace was usually open to the public, so Lisa took Xiao Chen to the main hall.
Rows of chairs are in the main hall, and at this time, many people of the Yifeng Empire are praying in the main hall, and at the front of the main hall is a huge statue of a god, accompanied by musicians.
On such a serious occasion, Xiao Chen put the girl down.
Lisa whispered, "Xiao Chen, let's go to the front." ”
Walking along the passage to the front row near the idol, Lisa and Xiao Chen sat down.
"The light of the god of nature envelops all things...... Lisa clasped her hands to her chest, whispering a prayer to the idol.
The girl on the side also did the same, shaking hands in front of his chest......
Xiao Chen didn't have any faith, so he didn't pray, and cast his gaze on the tall idol in front of him, and his gaze shrank suddenly: "Divine power ......"
Because he had contact with the real god Rose, Xiao Chen was so sensitive to divine power.
The huge statue of the god is actually a huge tree, with eyes and a mouth on the trunk, like a kind old man, this is not unexpected, the druid lives in the forest, and it is normal to believe in the gods of trees, but the statue emits a faint fluctuation of divine power, which is surprising.
