054 Gnomes who live in the present
Wang: "You can ask Elizabeth about this." ”
Xiaobai looked at Elizabeth.
"Well, I just got back to sleep and drooled on the king's pillow. No big deal. Elizabeth said and forcibly reversed the subject, "It's time for me to dress up, it's rude to wear a nightdress in front of men all the time." ”
Xiaobai: "I think he's happy to see it." You see that he has to glance at your big bob every now and then. I see that you rush up and suffocate him with this, and he will die for you. ”
The king replied solemnly, "If I suffocate me, I will consume Flint's resurrection technique, so don't do it." Personally, though, I've always welcomed Elizabeth to Rosalie's ranks. ”
Elizabeth covered her ears and fled.
The king looked at Rosalie: "Back to today's business, what are my arrangements for today?" ”
Rosalie is not only the housekeeper of the entire floating island, but also the king's secretary, who is responsible for arranging the king's day's itinerary.
Rosalie: "There are no reservations yet, you can continue to visit the gnomes." Yesterday's events dwarfs suffered heavy casualties, and many gnomes turned into monsters. If you want the gnomes to get back to work as soon as possible, you need to know more about their needs. ”
Wang: "I see, I'll be handed over to the gnomes." ”
Rosalie: "When the gnomes are done patrolling, you'd better get down to the ground and show your face." ”
Wang: "Why?" ”
"You are now the hero of the city, and the surviving civilians will be happy to see you."
The king thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a need to hold a celebration or something below?" A lot of people lost almost everything last night, is it necessary to boost their morale? ”
Rosalie: "It's a celebration, it's true." People are creatures that like to be boisterous, and you have an amazing reputation in Yi Songzo right now, so it's a shame not to put your reputation to good use. ”
The king stood up: "Okay, I'll go to the gnomes first and see if they have anything to help with, and then I'll go down and have a look." Xiaobai, have you eaten well? ”
Xiaobai: "I didn't eat well!" You go to the gnome first, and I'll take two more bites!" ”
Saying that, Xiaobai ran away with a smoke.
Wang scratched his head: "What is she doing here?" Just to see what's going on on my side? ”
The other people in the room, the other girls, looked at him together, and I don't know who sighed.
Wang: "What? Am I doing something wrong again? ”
Lily: "You're right. I'll accompany you to the gnomes. ”
**
The situation in the dwarf area was much better than Wang had imagined.
The gnomes quickly sorted out a "list of importances", and then put together the most important craftsmen according to the importance of the table.
Of course, this refers to the craftsmen who can still put it together.
Yesterday many gnomes were turned into bloated monsters like Ragnora and burned to ashes.
In this case, ordinary means of resurrection are useless.
After touring the gnome quarter, the king could not see a single grieving dwarf here, and the king even began to wonder if the gnome race would be sad after all.
In his teacher's Chronicles of Garia, it is simply said that gnomes are a race of curiosity above all else, and once a dwarf loses his curiosity, he will gradually turn gray and eventually die completely.
This is an incurable disease for the dwarf.
But the teacher's book does not say that this is how the gnomes faced the devastation after the war.
Of course, it is also possible that the teacher's book "curiosity is greater than everything" is a euphemism for the fact that dwarfs do not grieve.
After inspecting the dwarf quarter, the king took a break at Flint's tavern, and happened to meet the gnome bard Gaines, and asked, "I'm coming back from the dwarf quarter." Don't you dwarfs have such feelings as sadness? ”
Gaines asked rhetorically: "How can I interpret those sadder poems without the feeling of sadness?" ”
Wang thought for a moment and guessed: "Maybe it depends on acting skills?" ”
Gaines: "Then I have to understand the emotion of grief." No, no, the great sage, the priest of Kailin, the paladin of Typhon, the living saint of Lancelot, the Celestial. ”
Wang frowned slightly: "What's that last thing?" ”
Gaines: "You don't know? Because your title is already too long, the people of this city have been calling you the Celestial since yesterday. The local bard also wrote you a hymn. ”
As he spoke, Gaines drank the wine from the glass in front of him, pulled himself a little away and sat sideways, picked up the rudd and played a few notes.
After confirming that the pitch was correct, the dwarf bard played a melodious and bright melody.
The king listened for a while and couldn't help but interrupt his chanting: "Who is this great hero here?" ”
Lily whispered beside her, "You." ”
Wang: "I'm not like that! I'm just a layman who thinks of Elizabeth at first sight. ”
"Not anymore." Gaines shook his head, "Or maybe it doesn't matter if you're not." To the people of this city, you are the hero of the great glory, and even if you deliberately show your vulgar side in front of them, they will ignore it. ”
At this time, Flint on the other side of the bar said, "It's like Lancelot's title of Living Saint, do you want to see your emblem?" ”
Wang took out his holy emblem and looked at it: "There is no change, it is still Kailin's holy emblem." ”
Flint: "You take it out into the sun." ”
With a puzzled expression, the king stood up with the emblem, stood in the sunlight, and looked at the coat of arms on it.
Strange to say, it may be because of the shadow created by the sun, I always feel that the pattern of the holy emblem is a little different.
Flint's voice came from the tavern: "Lancelot has no good temper to tolerate a man who lies to be his living saint. He didn't react, which in itself was the biggest reaction. ”
As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, the dwarf said again: "Humans are a short-lived race, and soon those who have actually seen you will grow old, and for the new generation of humans, you are the one who lives in the rumors." When they grow old, you'll be a mythical hero. ”
Wang waved his hand: "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's talk about the first topic." Do you gnomes know grief or not? ”
Gaines: "Isn't that obvious? Of course we do. We will grieve, but we know that grief is useless. When we lose our curiosity, when our skin begins to turn gray piece by piece, we have time to be sad.
"Understand? My friend, the Blessed One. We just hurry up and live and that's it. ”
The king was silent.
Gaines: "I'm grateful for inspecting my people first, but don't worry, we'll take care of ourselves. You should pay more attention to your kind. They need the help of you, the living saint. ”
The king nodded and stood up.
