Chapter 399: Elven Conflict and Reconciliation
11 large men sat around the perimeter, and in the center was a large pit about 500 meters in diameter and 150 meters deep, and there was molten metal liquid boiling in it.
Moments later, dozens of mammoth workers with anti-radiation enchantments, with the help of mechanical arms, joined forces to carry several monstrous beasts and walked into the foyer, which was too large for them.
Maybe it's because they've seen too much so it's not strange, these giant elves in the room didn't make them show too much surprise, but with a little honest smile on their faces, they greeted the guests in turn, and walked past the elves' legs and stomachs with things on their shoulders.
After inquiring about their wishes, the beasts were placed beside the fangs, and a foreman-like mammoth then raised his head and said,
"Please use it slowly, the special condiments of our store are being prepared in the background, and they will be specially served by other colleagues."
"Haha! Thank you~Thank you~"
Giant Fang bowed his head in response, tossed the few physical coins from his pocket, handed them to Mammoth Boss, and said,
"Take it and share it with your brothers, you have worked hard to carry such a heavy thing~"
"Ahh Well, then I thank you on behalf of the brethren. ”
After taking the tip and thanking him, the foreman led his companion to turn around and leave.
~~~~~~
His right hand was attached to a dazzling arc of electricity, slicing horizontally and vertically like a sharp dinner knife, and the giant fang split the corpses of several giant beasts that were only half a body smaller than himself, and threw them all into the metal solution with the help of the cold fang next to him.
"I said, Boss, why do you want to let these foreigners enter our city?"
On the other side, Muya drooled as he looked at the boiling pit, and asked with some puzzlement as he picked his head;
"What's the matter? When did you become an isolationist? ”
The giant tooth threw out the sturdy piece of flesh in his hand, causing it to fall into the deep pit and stir up beautiful molten flowers, and asked indifferently as he looked up.
Before the wooden tooth could respond, the gold and silver droplets, which were not enough to describe it as 'hot', splashed on the night tooth and the female elf next to it;
So, Nighttooth rubbed her thigh, which was actually nothing, and squeaked and complained to Giant Fang,
"Boss, you're not the material for work, do you have to show off in front of Sally and the others? Look at it, it's all burning me! ”
The elven lady who sat next to him was named Cang Luxi, the last rival who had run with Nighttooth before, and now they seemed to know each other very well;
With a little flamboyant smile, the lady slapped Yeya's thigh heavily when she heard the words, making her exaggerated screams a little more sincere, and said lightly,
"Just be quiet, you're the one who likes to show off the most here."
Muya, who was interrupted from speaking, smiled at Nighttooth with some schadenfreude, and then responded to Giant Fang from the previous topic,
"I don't know if it's isolated or not, but they live here... It always makes me feel like I can't let go of my hands and feet, and I'm afraid that I will accidentally step on one of them in the next second. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and fished into the metal lava, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to take a bite first;
But then, I heard a 'pop' sound from the back of his hand, and Muya quickly withdrew the outstretched hand as if it had been bitten by something.
Interrupting its rhythm like lightning was Saliana, who sat upright as if she hadn't moved at all, and said with a slight reproach and smile at the former,
"What's the hurry, it's better to wait a little longer, a little patience, okay?"
That's right, for this genetically modified product, which is close to a combination of flesh and metal, the thousands of degrees of molten pool can only be regarded as 'low-temperature slow cooking';
If you look at it more formally, it takes a certain amount of time for the solution used to flavor and balance nutrients to penetrate into it, and then melt with various molecular bonds to achieve the effect of hot pot base.
For the elves, although this can be regarded as 'cooked' in the current sense, it is actually just a particular way of eating
At least Giant Fang and his brothers are not elves, and they usually don't have much patience to wait for it to be cooked, and it is the norm to nibble on the staple food and serve the soup in the pot;
Anyway, as long as the food falls into the stomach, there is time to melt slowly, so why waste extra time on eating?
It wasn't a serious disagreement, and the mostly joking interaction provoked a round of laughter before ending when Sally threw a beast's leg at the wooden fang.
With a crisp sound, Muya broke the bone-in thigh from the middle, and handed the other half to Hanya beside him, because he knew that this old brother was the same as himself, and he was also a full-fed party and energy party who didn't need much stimulation of taste buds...
So, the two elves each held 10 meters of flesh and bones, and began to eat from the plump area full of metallic luster at its fracture;
A series of 'clicks' sounded continuously, and more than meat-like food was sent into the mouth, chewed and swallowed in the stomach, and went to the purgatory digestive field with a multi-layered structure.
"Hehe, where are you worried about the safety of the mammoth, Muya clearly just thinks these guys are too ugly, if it is another good-looking race that just came in, he will never complain half-heartedly."
"Haha, yes, yes"
~~~~~~
"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry! I've kept you waiting~"
Before he arrived, he made a sound first, and in a hearty laugh, it seemed that the shopkeeper's sturdy elf pushed the door and entered, and came to the box with a diameter of about 800 meters.
He held the plate in one hand, and there were dozens of special boxes with inscriptions on it, and at first there was a smile on his face that could be considered enthusiastic for an elf;
But then, when he saw the specific situation in the field, these smiles froze on his face, and turned cloudy to anger at a rapid speed
"I said how many of you, are you running to smash my yard?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”
Thinking it was a joke, the giant tooth raised his head, but seeing that the anger between his eyebrows did not seem to be fake, he asked in surprise.
"I didn't even send the special seasoning, why did you just start eating it?"
And the shopkeeper here pointed to Muya and Hanya, who were munching on raw meat, with a tone full of dissatisfaction.
"If you eat like this, can't you find a corner to be a wild elf? Why did you come to me to be an eyesore? ”
"What do you mean, this guy!"
Hearing this, Muya stood up suddenly, holding the half-cut bone in his hand that looked like a mallet, glaring at the shopkeeper who was much shorter than himself, and asked,
"I can eat as much as I like! What does it have to do with you?! ”
"Hey, you rammer, how dare you be so arrogant on my turf?"
In the face of the wooden fangs that were stronger than himself, the shopkeeper did not show any timidity in his attitude, and there was an aura wrapped in fear and madness emanating from his body, obviously a powerful warlock with profound attainments.
As his anger grew, the box space began to take on all kinds of malicious emotions, and they always intertwined with the inscriptions looming on the walls, as if they were about to turn this place into a gladiatorial arena without a word.
Although the shopkeeper had a tough attitude, he didn't do it directly, but said to Muya in a low voice,
"Tell you, I only accept friends who know how to appreciate food here, either you will give me food according to the rules of the store, or you will go where you like to forgive Lao Tzu for not serving!"
On the other side, when the sisters were looking forward to something with excitement on their faces, Saliana spread her hands helplessly, and then leaned into the ear of the giant tooth and whispered,
"Persuade your brother, this guy is a notoriously stubborn gourmet, and he has been studying his special radiant seasoning for decades, and it is really possible to fight with us regardless of this;"
After that, she added with some self-reproach,
"I thought it was an employee who would send the spices, so I handed it to Muya... But I didn't expect this guy to come by himself. ”
"It's okay to be a big deal"
Giant Fang replied unhurriedly,
"Oh, it doesn't seem like a good thing to say, it's small for us, but it seems to be important to him."
"That's it."
"It's okay, you obviously can't be blamed for this, but your friends seem to be quite excited?"
~~~~~
Standing up with a smile, the giant tooth swept the surrounding situation with his gaze...
Several of their own brothers had already gotten up and walked behind Muya, but instead of directly helping or moving, they looked at Juya's side, as if waiting for his advice;
Was it a lively fight, and then taken away by the Sheriff's Department?
Or do you want to shake hands and make a funny friend?
As they had done in the past, they were now waiting for Tooth to make a statement.
And among the newly met sisters, in addition to Sally Anna, who is quite normal, the other 5 seem to be looking forward to fighting?
At the same time, he keenly caught the movement coming from the outside of the private room, and there were about five 150,000-ton elves in the trembling sound, rushing towards this place from far and near;
Obviously, they should all be friends of the shopkeeper in front of them.
"Alright, Muya, you sit down first. …”
Tooth doesn't want to fight, and while that does make them happy, both legal and illegal fights have their own troubles;
Especially the latter, the aftermath is very likely to take the time of the three parties all day...
Therefore, the giant tooth inserted between the shopkeeper and Muya, and while motioning for Hanya to take Muya and other friends to retreat, he said with a little apology to the shopkeeper,
"It's us who offended, these two rude guys are just a little too hungry, and they don't mean to spoil it, I apologize to you on behalf of a few of them, or brother, you can get rid of your anger first?"
The shopkeeper glanced at the big fang, and then at the tableware in front of him, and found that there was no sign of it being called 'spoiling the food', except for the necessary traces of the corpses being dismembered into the pot;
Therefore, after glaring at the two 'wild elves' of Muya and Hanfang, he nodded at Giant Fang and expressed his willingness to reconcile.
"Giant Fang, huh? You're a sensible elf, and you deserve to be a chieftain back then. ”
"Haha, it doesn't matter what it means to be a chief, but I'm still happy to be praised like this."
Immediately, the giant tooth patted his chest and said again enthusiastically,
"To show our apologies, why don't you sit down and eat together? Can you just introduce the characteristics of your home, so that the brothers can open their eyes to the real food? ”
After checking the itinerary in my heart, and saying 'peace' to the friends who came to support, and then letting them retreat and get busy, the store simply accepted the invitation without much hesitation.
~~~~~
For the veteran elves, most of the negative emotions such as anger are actually under the control of their own will;
For example, this time, several of the people involved in the scene have lived for hundreds of years, and they are not the kind of powerful demonic beasts whose instinct is greater than reason, but the strong people of the wisdom species who have been immersed in the level of will or spirit for a long time;
Therefore, strictly speaking, anger is often born only from one's own desire to 'want to be angry', and can both make it arise at will, and can also take it back at will;
When you have the will to not want to be angry and you decide to do it, it is not difficult to resolve the conflict in a flash.
If you look at it from another angle, it actually means that there are almost no passion offenders among them;
In the Republic, all the accidents that happen to the old elves that seem to be born of passion can in fact be classified as deliberate and true intentions.
In addition, there is a kind of trouble associated with it...
That is, when an elf who has lived for hundreds of years decides to break the law and commit a crime, whether it is the prior advice from friends and friends, the difficulties encountered in the implementation process, or the final punishment received, it can hardly arouse the slightest fear and remorse in their hearts;
As a result, there is either one more reluctant attempted offender in prison, or one more unrepentant offender.
Of course, everyone here just yelled at each other a few times and shook hands and made peace, since there was no real fight, it had little to do with whether it was illegal or not;
Even if you really want to fight, you can apply for a semi-freestyle legal gladiatorial fight in a designated place under the restrictions of the referee and the rules.
In this case, they will not be held accountable as long as they pay the site maintenance fee, injury repair fee, and public time subsidy fee respectively.
As for the rest, whether it is crime prevention, or the identification and arrest of suspects, or the punishment of criminals, there are also headaches related to various departments, and it has little to do with the good citizens present.
~~~
All in all, when the shopkeeper turned cloudy and sunny, and sat down among the elves, the atmosphere in the room had eased.
Even if it is a wooden tooth, at this moment, he is only holding the unfinished bone in one hand, and the other hand is picking at his own skull, and he is somewhat embarrassed to let out bursts of smirk.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper who sat down turned his head and couldn't stop looking at him, and then shook his head a little helplessly and said,
"Eat it, eat it, you can't put it in the pot anymore after you gnaw it like this, so you won't throw it away."
With that, he stopped looking at Muya and Hanfang, turned his head out of sight and picked up the inscription box he had brought in earlier, and began to talk about the other diners such as Jufang.
