Chapter 424: The Beginning and End of the Punishment
The clothes prepared are mainly made of bright spider silk, supplemented by a small amount of dusk spider silk and a very small amount of beautiful spider silk, which is one of the real high-end fabric fabrics in the market of the Divine Alliance;
In terms of pure financial resources, even those powerful people in the alliance can only buy some blended threads to decorate the rest of the fabrics;
And the clothes that are completely made of this are basically only the elves can afford to wear
Even though elven clothing is known for being made of very few materials, in addition to the common wraps, shorts, and miniskirts, there are actually quite a few people in the kingdom who like to wear long clothes, long pants, and long skirts.
In the meantime, individuals who prefer the texture of neat clothing will naturally choose categories made of woolen and fur of various levels of Warcraft;
And if you like the feeling of fluttering in the breeze, then all kinds of silk fabrics are the best choice.
Among them, the former undoubtedly belongs to another track category, so I will not repeat the relevant matters at this time;
Among the latter, usually the elves will choose the highest-end fabrics of the precious grade, supplemented by the best designers and the best charismatic tailors, and weave various styles of clothing under the cooperation of several combinations;
In terms of the previous body size of tens of meters, even if all that is needed is an extremely thin see-through gauze skirt, the consumption of silk material does not belong to the ranks of 'very little'.
Therefore, the output of treasures is quite limited every year, and it is almost in a state of being completely covered by the kingdom, and there is very little fabric flowing out to the rest of the buyers.
And in the case of its limited production, even for the elves, the rare materials and their finished products are not just wanted to buy, and the time span from reservation to purchase may be as long as several years, and many elves who hate waiting are also deterred.
But the situation has changed a little before, because of the general reduction of the body size of the elves in their daily life, such high-end fabrics in their overall production under the premise of the same, suddenly appeared a short period of abundant supply, many of the elves who were previously deterred for various reasons, during this period have chosen to place orders to buy.
Although this move led to the end of the abundance period quickly, Cynthia, who hates 'begging for goods' and hates waiting, also took advantage of the situation to buy hundreds of meters of fabric, and then handed it over to the Church of Beauty God to design and handle on her behalf.
What she is wearing at this time is one of the more simple styles.
The three layers of blended silk are stacked into tulle, which is almost impossible to stop the invasion of the eye in terms of its own material, but the light emitted on it has somewhat achieved the effect.
This light is not dazzling, just like the soft light that should be emitted by the angels in the imagination, it is a kind of faint at the same time, but it cannot be ignored.
Its color is like the glow of the noon sun being smeared by the setting sun, and it is like the glow of the red rhyme on a white background on the horizon;
This alone can capture the eyes of almost all intelligent life...
Even in the eyes of the elves, it is still slightly transparent, but when it comes through the light, it will also carry a bit of a hazy feeling, although it is far from playing a complete obscuring effect, but in fact, no one really cares about this;
After all, for them, being able to cover a few corners with multiple layers of tulle is conservative to some extent.
~~~~~~~
At present, the head of the gauze is ringed around the neck, and the front and back are all descending in a trapezoidal shape starting from the width of the fingers, and the top arc of the front cover hangs down half a palm under the spar counterweight, and the backward stops when it covers the middle back;
In the front half of the arc peak, there is a rope knot connected to the side ribs to stretch the yarn surface near the parallel part of the double top, and the other parts only follow the nature and there is no excess control.
Below, let the large lattice fields and hills in the north and south of the eye of the sea be crossed, and you can see that there is a dusk beginning to droop at the width of the south palm of the eye of the sea;
The crotch top on the surface of the sunset, the end of the lower and the end of the mountain is extended to the palm, and there are three ropes on the side of the head and tail to be solid.
The ivory jade pillar is like a glow between the arrivals, the dim white halo can sometimes cover the whole mountain and sometimes the side mountains are exposed, and there are both arc mountains and slightly bumpy under the halo, and there are end peaks staggered opening and closing.
In the living room, a door was slowly opened in front of the sofa where the visitors were sitting, and the giant fangs looked up with smiles on their faces;
Sure enough, I saw the expected figure appear from there, and when he got a little closer, he raised his arm in front of his chest and said,
"Greetings to Cynthia, Your Excellency, Commander."
Giant Fang continued his habit of returning the salute first, and then strode forward and said with a laugh,
"Haha! I don't know when I will be drafted into the army again, so let's not do this here! ”
Gently hugging each other and patting each other on the back, and then greeting and hugging other acquaintances who followed, after a warm greeting that matched the reunion after a long absence, the host and the visitor sat down in the long and short sofas and began to greet each other.
~~~~~~~
Before Cynthia's arrival, the smart butler did not slack off on the care of visitors, although it did not have a physical sense in the real sense, but as long as it was given the corresponding permissions, it could control the relevant area;
The parlor is naturally within the scope of its authority at this time, and things like music appreciation, drink delivery, etc., are within its executable scope
The group of visitors were not very troublesome, but they had also ordered drinks at random when the butler projected the option, so their respective cups were placed on the table at the moment.
The tusk picked one up from the middle and drank the slightly clear yellow transparent liquid in it, causing it to ignite in the open flame under the high pressure of the stomach pouch, bringing the feeling of 'drinking' that belongs to the elves.
Immediately, he let out a long sigh of relief and put the cup in his hand on the table, while casually watching the flexible flying machine refill the cup, and said to Cynthia with some emotion,
"At the same time as the territory is expanding, we are getting farther and farther apart, and the old friends are busy in different corners, and it is really not easy to see each other."
"Who's to say it's not~"
Nighttooth sat cross-legged on the sofa with bare feet, flipping through the idle book in her hand, and raised her eyes to Cynthia in response to Giant Fang's words,
"We haven't seen each other in at least a decade, have we? I mean, in the case of ontological encounters in reality. ”
Cynthia nodded when she heard this, and said in recollection,
"Yes, even in the Void, the last time we met was five years ago, and Giant Tooth and you and Cold Fang are all there. But it seems that before they could say a few more words, everyone started to get busy. ”
"Five years ago, when you had a virtual exercise with the active duty army? Oh oh remember, I did run into you that time."
There is no need to rely on the assistance of the brain database, as the supreme commander of the non-active party at that time, Giant Fang, clearly remembers that he had communicated with Cynthia in the Limping Command Room, although most of them were related to the exercise mission, but it can be regarded as a conversation.
"But that seems like the last time you'll be involved in a drill? At least I didn't seem to have seen you again in the few Shimmer or projection exercises I've been in charge of."
"It's the same, I didn't see her the few times I was in charge."
The cold tooth on the side said coldly, which can be regarded as somewhat confirming the guess of the giant tooth.
"Well, isn't the garrison department suddenly established for a while, so I will focus on my own cultivation and new tasks;"
The dark purple skin glowing with some fluorescence produced a slight brief friction between the overlapping legs, and Cynthia responded a little helplessly and seriously,
"In addition to this reason, to be honest, I feel a little annoyed by the repeated drills that don't see the real chapter."
"See the real chapter. In fact, I am quite conflicted in my heart, I hope to stand on the table and come on a great expedition regardless of it, and compare with those powerful forces or individuals with real swords and guns; ”
As he spoke, Jufang picked up the cup and drank it all again, and continued with some regret after putting it down,
"But even we are not immortal, and 'Seeing the Truth' may be very exciting but it may also lead to unnecessary sacrifices, leaving many little guys or old friends to die on the battlefield; although it feels a little aggrieved now, at least there is plenty of time to grasp more information in the shadows, and it is good to make appropriate responses in case of emergency."
On the side, the cold teeth in black rubbed his chin and said,
"To be honest, we haven't fought a few evenly matched battles for hundreds of years, and during the Black Forest Civil War, it was like this at the beginning, and there were more thrilling battles with the three tribes of the Holy Mountain, and then they took the road of peaceful evolution to complete the reunification;
"Fighting the cave wolf can be counted once, the witch doctors at that time were still underground against the real wolf king, and we did fight the wolves on the ground.
"I can't really think of any more. The group battles after that are all crushing games, right? There are quite a few individual encounters with Warcraft, but that's another story. ”
"What's the matter, isn't that also because we're developing so well and fast? Do you have to be evenly matched or even weak? ”
Muya was a little unimpressed by this, obviously thinking that there was nothing wrong with the country's traditional approach, if you want to be bloody, if you want to be evenly matched, then find an opponent to fight, there is no need to risk for this inexplicable mind, after all, the few evenly matched battles are not less costly, Muya doesn't think it's a thing and memory worth pursuing.
"The truth may be the same, but there are indeed many different voices in the new generation, and they feel that sacrifice and blood can shape the will of the population."
To this, Hanya replied noncommittally.
"Hehe, I think our population will is already very good, and there is no need to go through the inexplicable baptism again."
~~~~~
When Hanfang and Muya communicated, Giant Fang, Cynthia, and Nighttooth were not gagged on their side, and they still continued the previous topic in the ears of the people next to them
"It's not a mandatory task that you have to participate in, it's just a confrontational exercise with the active army, and the most important thing in the country is that there is no shortage of non-active veterans and old officers; If you're bored, there's nothing wrong with putting your energy on the rest, it's all business, isn't it?"
Putting away the emotion of the unnamed, the giant tooth listened distractedly to the conversation between the other two. As they were doing, they continued to say to Cynthia,
"But what the hell is going on with you this time, how did you hear that you were punished for making a mistake?"
"Boss, why do you mention such a thing in one mouth?"
Next to him, Nighttooth, who was listening to 4 conversations at the same time, patted his head and shook his head at the moment.
Cynthia didn't seem to care too much, and just smiled after hearing this,
"It's okay, it's not something that has to be hidden, I can talk about it if I'm interested."
"That's it, the comrades-in-arms who roasted their feet in a fire back then, why should they be so polite?"
"Okay, okay, it's too hypocritical for me to have a night tooth, okay?"
"Haha, you guy just tend to think too much."
So, Cynthia talked about the before and after experience of being 'punished'
~~~~~~~~~
Tens of thousands of slaves and criminals from many races have been thrown into an artificial ecological star at the corner of the river system, and in an area where a complex environment is integrated on its surface, they will engage in a battle royale game for the purpose of survival.
Before the game begins, the organizers give them a lot of promises, such as freedom for the first few places to be shortlisted, a big prize for any achievement, or a promise to help them or someone close to them treat a terminal illness.
There are many people who are well aware of the darkness who disagree with such empty promises, but there are also quite a few people who can only regard it as a life-saving help and hope for it out of various necessities from reality.
And in such a game, as long as some of the people affected by the promise decide to take it seriously, the remnants will often have to fight for survival if they are not the kind of people who can ignore their lives.
In addition, in addition to weapons, food, armor, and other materials that fall from the sky from time to time, there are also bloody sweeper mechs, and a berserk beast collected from all sides of the river system;
Among them, the former is controlled by the organizer and will be responsible for driving the war-avoidance faction judged to be 'negative' and driving them into the field of vision of the activists;
As a result, the former may be used as a kill number, become a point on the latter, or it may be used to perform a flipping scene between the hunter and the prey;
Of course, it may also act as a bait to induce the active factions in the region to hunt each other, thus creating more exciting scenes.
The beasts are not completely controlled, they are like catfish in a fish pond stirring up the whole situation in the field, bringing a bit of unexpected excitement and vitality to the game, and bringing the audience and gamblers the resulting cheers and anger.
The game has a beginning and an end, and when there are only a few hundred alive among the tens of thousands of participants, these victors, who have tiredness, excitement, hesitation, and even hope in their eyes, finally wait for the announcement of the end of the game and wait for the medical aircraft that came to greet them.
After that, they went through a series of meticulous and precise treatment procedures, whether it was missing an arm, a leg or anything else, they were completely healed in less than 1 hour.
This gives a little hope, and even those who are unimpressed or half-convinced of their promises feel that the organizers should not treat them for no reason, and maybe there will be good luck waiting for them?
Although this good fortune may stand on tens of thousands of corpses, what can they decide in themselves, and there are only two ways to choose between life and death under power;
Therefore, there may be pity, sympathy, and guilt for the deceased, but no one will be willing to give up their life and choose to become a corpse;
If it did, it would have died long ago in the previous hunting game.
Therefore, at the moment when the matter has come to this, they long for their promises to be fulfilled, to be able to completely get out of this hellish playground, and live hopefully like a true intelligent seed;
In their hearts, they prayed so fervently
But the result is disappointing and even tragic, after careful treatment to restore the body to a healthy state, what is faced is not the imminent freedom, nor the rich prize, and naturally not the fulfillment of the other promises;
What awaits them is a table with a first-aid function, and a figure standing in the black fog;
Between the black branches, although the contents of the mist are not visible, the tools attached to the tips of the branches are clear;
That's cutlery, it's cutlery for eating meat and chewing bones.
