Chapter 33: The Mountain
The Kingdom of the Green Forest
Grimm Hardwood angrily spoke of Lawrence's savagery, and across from him, the Elven Queen and several elders listened quietly.
The queen looked puzzled at this time, and was very incomprehensible to Lawrence's behavior.
"Why would he do that?" The queen muttered to herself, unable to figure out what the man was thinking.
Green Hardwood said angrily: "The barbarians of the Lovin Kingdom are such people! ”
The queen shook her head, "I'm not surprised that he is such a person, I always thought he would do it, and I am not surprised that he makes any barbaric and rude demands. ”
The queen was not so angry, and from the beginning did not expect anything from the people of the Frozen Lands, let alone think that they were good people.
This kind of arrogance and point of view makes it not so easy for both parties to get along, but it will not be too surprising when there is a conflict.
The queen continued, "I still don't understand what this Ravenfeather Prophet is thinking. ”
If it was to find something, but he sent the messengers back, promising not to hurt the elves.
If it weren't for the sake of finding something, and when it was clear that it felt like it should be a good relationship, it would inexplicably declare war.
The elven elder on the side slowly spoke, "What should I do next?" ”
The queen has made her decision, and the leader of the elven race is not as weak as it seems.
"I was very disappointed with Dana's choice." The queen sat quietly in her chair and sighed, "I think she will soon understand that the reason why we put up with those humans is not because we are weaker than them, but because we cherish every one of our fellow citizens." ”
"Humans are always so reckless, young and vigorous, like a storm, showing up in bursts."
The queen said with some sorrow: "They don't know what trouble they have caused, and they will soon have to pay for their stupidity." ”
Grimm Hardwood clarified the attitude of the queen and the elders, and quickly said, "I will train those young elves for a while, so that they can become familiar with the battle with humans as soon as possible." ”
The Elven Queen nodded, "That's it, I'll send an emissary to contact the warriors of the rest of the tribes, this time it's not enough for our tribe alone." ”
The elves are divided into several villages, and in this forest there are more than a dozen regions of different sizes, each with its own leader.
The largest one is the tribe led by the Elven Queen, and it is also the most powerful in terms of population and strength.
The elves were generally good at archery, and compared to the peasant slaves outside who had never touched a bow or arrow in their lives, the elves in the forest had enough leisure time to have some fun, and spend their time farming and singing songs.
Can sing and dance, good at riding and hunting.
On the contrary, most people in the Land of Stars are not good at archery nowadays, because there is not much time for hunting, the warriors will practice their stone throwing and fighting skills, and the farmers will spend a lot of time farming and taking care of their families.
The Land of Stars is not in a hurry to go to war with the Elves, and Lawrence still has a lot to do.
After more than two months of delay, Lawrence finally couldn't help it.
"I have to go out and see, Satis has been gone for two or three months, and Losanda and Delen have been gone for a month and a half, what happened on the way?"
The rest of the people in the living room also understood Lawrence's mood.
Lawrence values his family very much and is now very worried about his family, who has been missing for more than a month.
None of the wars out there could make Lawrence so urgent.
Keharan looked at Lawrence and understood that no one could persuade Lawrence to move, and this time Lawrence must have made up his mind to find someone.
Sophia rolled her eyes and quickly looked at the little child being held by Sariel.
Andersen, who is two or three years old, can now eat and sleep on his own, but he still likes to be carried by adults, running around the castle all day, or looking for trouble with pigs, pigs, and dogs.
Sariel has a good relationship with Delen and takes great care of Delen's children.
"Hans Christian Andersen, do you know where Deren is?" Sophia asks about Delen's son.
Lawrence and the others quickly looked at Andersen.
When Andersen, who was dismantling the straw calf for play, heard this, he replied suspiciously: "I don't know, didn't they go out to play, Mom?" ”
Lawrence said to Sophia, "What do you ask him for?" How could he possibly know such a thing. ”
Sophia argued: "Delenn would have known where Hans Christian Andersen was hiding, and I thought Hans Christian Andersen would have found Delenn as well." ”
Witches can sense the approximate location of their bloodline, which is an instinct-like existence.
If the offspring dies, the body is re-prepared to give birth to new offspring.
Lawrence pondered the matter, ignoring it before.
This time, there were no witches in the team who could be contacted, Delenn went out with his mother Losanda, and Emma, the beekeeper witch, had no relatives.
But if you think about it, apart from Delenn and Loshanda, there is no second parent-child sensation at all.
Although Lolita has awakened her witchcraft abilities, her mother Finn is still an ordinary witch and does not have that kind of intuition.
The rest doesn't matter, my own side lacks this kind of ultra-long-distance telepathy.
Emerald, who was standing on the side, saw Lawrence's worried look and suggested, "Maybe you can ask Dana to come and ask, she may know better than us about the things in the mountains of Agama." ”
Lawrence was quickly startled and suddenly realized Dana's presence.
"Yes!" Lawrence said happily: "Go and invite Dana over, and say invite her over for dinner." ”
Lawrence instructed the maid on the side, "Prepare a sumptuous dinner, and I'm going to entertain Dana well today." ”
"Yes, master." Finn quickly went down to arrange things.
Dana's strength is very strong, so strong that pure-blood witches such as Kassandra and Catherine think that the three pure-blood witches are not Dana's opponent when they go together.
Keharan, Catherine, Kassandra, these three witches are actually not witches who can fight.
I used to think that Keharan was very strong, and it was compared to a female barbarian like Reglo, but later I found that this kind of thing was not strong.
Sariel's strength is also compared to ordinary people, and there is also Andrew's influence.
But Andrew is actually not ranked in the entire kingdom of Loven......
If the Giant Grace had been given the same equipment, Andrew would have fallen when they competed.
Grace and Fryce aren't actually that strong, and now Durand in Pigtrotter City is a little better than these two.
This contrast of strength and weakness does not affect their respective developments, and Lawrence does not go head-to-head with others now, nor does he let his subordinates go head-to-head in front of the formation.
If you want to get on, you can go together!
Those who are in charge of command are responsible for commanding, and those who are in charge of charging are responsible for charging.
Through cooperation and the crushing of the equipment army, he defeated the forces such as Gran, Io, and the Church of Dawn, which actually had many masters.
Lawrence knows very well that there are a lot of masters in the Elven Forest, but he doesn't care, and he burns the forest when he gets in a hurry!
Dana's strength is stronger, and Lawrence cares more about Dana's side as a teacher and an elder.
This female elf, who is more than a hundred years old, is more valuable in terms of knowledge.
This value can solve a lot of problems, and Lawrence does not need one or two masters alone, but needs to improve the overall knowledge and skills.
Dana quickly accepted Lawrence's invitation.
It was an invitation she couldn't refuse.
"Welcome, Dana." Lawrence said enthusiastically, "It's a pleasure to have dinner with you, but we still have some time before dinner, let's have a cup of tea." ”
Dana enjoys this pre-meal refreshment, which keeps her stomach digesting food and allows her mouth to taste it constantly.
After drinking tea and eating dessert, you will be less hungry, so you can enjoy dinner more slowly, and treat eating as enjoyment rather than simply eating.
As a long-lived race, Dana loves this time-wasting enjoyment.
"It's a great honor." Dana happily accepted Lawrence's kindness.
It's still evening, and it usually takes five or six hours from the time of tea to dinner and after the shower.
During this time, there were constant servants to provide services, warm and delicious hot tea and hot meals, and maids waiting for orders at any time.
This kind of luxury is not found anywhere else, and even the ability to replicate one or two cuisines is not comparable to the full range of services provided by hundreds of maids.
Dana and Lawrence walked to the living room by the courtyard and sat down to chat.
Behind Lawrence were several maids, and not far away Catherine, Salyl, and Sophia were reading books and chatting, or ordering things with the servants.
Emerald sits on the couch not far from Lawrence, in charge of receiving Dana with Lawrence.
After a few small talks, the maids brought spring rolls and nectar tea.
Dana's eye was quickly drawn to the spring rolls on the plate, which were bright and bright yellow with some green vegetables, like a painting.
Lawrence smiled and introduced, "These are spring rolls, made into strips of shrimp and crab meat, then wrapped in skin and fried to set them, and put them in the mouth with sauce and fresh cabbage, which will have a very good taste." ”
"Let's try it." Lawrence took the initiative to pick up chopsticks and plates and sandwiched a spring roll.
It took Dana less than a day to learn how to use chopsticks, and she learned the art of eating at an astonishing rate.
The beautiful and cold female elf quickly and elegantly picked up the chopsticks, skillfully picked up a piece of spring roll, dipped it in the sauce next to it, and held the spring roll close to her mouth with a small plate.
In addition to preventing the sauce from falling off the spring rolls, the tray also plays a ceremonial role, making people feel delicate and elegant when eating.
After taking a bite of the spring rolls, the tender shrimp meat, the slightly salty crab meat and the warm dough are mixed in the mouth, and the combination of some cool cabbage produces an amazing flavor under the continuous chewing, the crisp cooked meat and the slippery meat, as well as the collision of teeth and dough.
Dana had never eaten such delicious food, and after eating one, it was as if she had forgotten the taste of the thing and was thinking about eating the second.
Lawrence had just taken a bite and was eating slowly.
Dana quickly ate the second, the third.
Lawrence noticed Dana's fondness for the spring rolls, "We have a lot of recipes for spring rolls here, and this is called golden seafood spring rolls, just because the color is yellow, and it has nothing to do with gold. ”
"If you are a guest in the future, I will treat you to taste different spring rolls, although they are all spring rolls, but just like the difference between bread and bread, spring rolls can also be divided into dozens of types."
"Pork spring rolls, chicken spring rolls, wild duck spring rolls, but also venison and seafood spring rolls and so on."
"There are many types of meat, such as boiled meat, crispy meat with eggs and seasonings, bacon and cured meat, and if you cook it in different ways, you can divide it into many types."
"Eating is a simple thing if it's just for eating."
"If you're trying to enjoy the delicious life, you're going to love the wonderful process of constantly learning about the subtle differences between the different flavors."
Dana agreed with Lawrence's words and smiled in approval, "Yes, learned prophet, you are the best human I have ever met, and better than any elf. ”
Lawrence smiled, taking the accolade in peace.
When Dana first took refuge a while ago, Lawrence was still worried about whether the female elf was an assassin and a spy.
But this period of getting along and the performance at this time finally put Lawrence at ease.
In an era when there is no sense of family and country, the strong themselves are not constrained.
Unless it is to pay a price and a great benefit, or to use a powerful threat, these transcendents will not obediently do risky things at all.
In poor places, it is difficult to raise loyal dead soldiers to assassinate the nobles of rich countries.
Dana's insight and eyes on enjoyment are opened up by Lawrence, who believes that Dana knows which side is really good.
After a little pre-dinner snack, Lawrence slowly spoke out about the troubles in his heart.
"Dana, I've been worrying about one thing for a while."
Dana quickly became serious and asked, "Is it something with the Green Forest Kingdom?" I can recommend a few experts for you, but they may not be as good at talking as I am. ”
Lawrence had a bonus, as Dana had stayed and had no intention of helping.
Now Dana's attitude has changed, and she is clearly willing to help.
Lawrence said happily: "I'm glad to accept your help, in addition to the matter with the Green Forest Kingdom, I am actually worried about my family who has not returned for a long time. ”
It wasn't familiar before, and Lawrence didn't talk to Dana about the family.
The rest of the people were not familiar enough to gossip about the powerful elf, so Dana didn't know anything about Loshanda.
Lawrence was quick to address his recent concerns.
"That's pretty much it, I'm worried about them, I don't understand why it's only a few days away, and they haven't come back for months."
When Dana heard this, she quickly figured out the reason and explained directly: "It's easy for you, but it's not easy for most people and wizards. ”
"There are thorn seeds left behind by the elves in the Agama Mountains, which only go deep into the soil in the cold of winter and then quickly break through the soil in the spring."
"The mountain people you see don't live in meadows, they're actually residents of a dense rainforest."
"In the spring and summer, the mountains are full of dense vines and plants, and there are a lot of streams that diverge from the mountains."
"When the snow melts, the animals wake up from hibernation, and they don't have to deal with a little trouble."
After Lawrence was reminded by Dana, he realized that the path he was walking was not the same as the path that Delenn and the others were going to take, and he underestimated this magical land and the mountains of Agama.
