Chapter 34: Bloodline
"What's the danger in the mountains?"
Lawrence lacked an accurate knowledge of the places he had walked, and after hearing Dana's description of the mountains outside, he became even more curious about this mysterious place.
Dana drank her tea and said slowly, "There are many dangerous animals, such as wild pigs, earth storms, flame ants, and basilisks. ”
Lawrence was generally aware of the existence of these animals, "Are there any other dangers?" ”
Dana looked at Lawrence with a slight surprise, as if surprised by Lawrence's words.
But it soon occurred to Dana that the prophet had conquered the snow-capped mountains, passed the trials of the gods, and entered the realm of snow elves in a blizzard that mortals could not detect.
As a transcendent of the Ice and Snow Bloodline, Dana is very curious about Lawrence and Princess Snow.
For the heroes who conquered the goddess of the snowy mountains, set things right in the mysterious snowy country, and helped the snow princess inherit the throne, those beasts in the forest are nothing at all.
"I don't think that land threatens your existence anymore, and at your feet, like grass in the courtyard, you can sit and rest at will."
Lawrence was silent, and after a few seconds he said slowly: "Different animals feel different shades when crossing the river. ”
"Pony ...... When the baby goat crosses the river, the water reaches its back, while when the dom sheep crosses the river, the river reaches its knees. ”
"The same danger and trouble will cause different harm to different people."
"For example, a cold snowstorm can freeze the cattle and sheep of a village to death, and bury people and livestock in the snow."
"For the mighty Star Country, especially here in Oak City, this kind of blizzard is just a common sight in winter."
"Although I am so strong, I am well aware that not everyone is as strong as me, and many people are weak and need to be taken care of to survive the danger."
"So I need to know more so I can understand how to help those people."
Lawrence's words not only surprised Dana very much, but also made the maids and others nearby understand what Lawrence did.
Dana sighed, "True to your gracious Prophetic Majesty, if it were you, I would be willing to serve you." ”
Now it's working, and at the beginning, I took the initiative to ask to stay and also intended to serve, and I just said that I was willing to introduce talents, and I also intended to serve.
With the long-term relationship with Lawrence, Dana was moved by Lawrence's sincerity and kindness, and became more and more open and proactive.
Lawrence also sensed the change in Dana, and at this time he didn't rush to ask, and talked a little about other things.
"I'm very happy to have Dana's help, are you used to living in the building these days?"
Dana was serious and quickly explained her feelings to Lawrence for a while.
"I like the food here, the food in the building is much better than in the forest, it's a little worse than here, and the same goes for the place to live."
"I only sleep in a small bed, and it's not even as big as the dining table here."
Lawrence quickly corrected: "My table here is used by multiple people, so it's bigger, and the normal table isn't that big. ”
"But if you like it bigger, it's no problem, I'll arrange for someone to make you a new bed that hasn't been used, including the bedding and sheets and pillows on the bed are replaced with new ones."
Dana smiled with satisfaction, "I will always remember this generosity." ”
Elves are not old-fashioned, but many things can't be changed often.
It's like bed sheets and clothes, one piece to wear for many years.
Lawrence not only gave a few new outfits, but also a new bed and a new pillow quilt, much to Dana's special satisfaction.
Dana quickly continued: "Aside from sleeping, what I want most is the paper I used here, the kind that gets a little wet. ”
Lawrence knew that Dana was referring to wet wipes, and in this era the paper was easy to puncture, and the paper that Lawrence made himself was a little more delicate.
Writing isn't that easy, but wiping your butt is fine.
At the beginning, it was made by writing and printing, and the technology was not up to standard, so it was made out of butt wiping paper through random research.
This is exactly the product that is in line with the current era, and the demand for paper in this era is not so great, and there are few people who know words.
Today's wet wipes are not wet wipes from another world, first of all, they can't be stored for too long, and they are only suitable for home use.
Dana had been to the bathroom when she was here to eat and rest, so she remembered some of her luxuries very well.
Lawrence looked at the colorful witch who was not polite at all when he made the request, "You're talking about wet wipes, this one has only a small output at the moment, fortunately, it doesn't usually use much, you can use the bathroom in the castle in the future, is this okay?" ”
Witches have a slow metabolism and don't need to go to the toilet every day, which is true for Lawrence and his family, basically once every four or five days.
If it is once a day, it must be to make the stomach digest the food faster, so that it can eat more delicious food.
Transcendents can control their own excretion time, and they will not be like birds and beasts.
Dana said happily, "Good! That's it! ”
After satisfying Dana's many requests, Lawrence talks about Mount Agama and the Elven Forest.
This time Dana was visibly much more enthusiastic.
"There are several powerful elders among the elves, and they are the shepherds of the forest."
"The shepherd guides the forest and the trees outside the forest, and in some places places places it is the guardian of the forest."
"Some squirrels and birds spread their seeds to other places, and many of the plants in the Agama Mountains are the descendants of seeds planted by shepherds."
Lawrence quickly asked, "Shepherd?" Aren't there any of these shepherds among the messengers who came this time? ”
Dana shook her head, "No, the status of the shepherds is very high, and the Green Tree Elder who has been here before is the leader of the shepherds. ”
Lawrence remembered the Elder Green Tree who came over before, but he didn't expect to patronize the Finn family and ignore this wise man.
Dana seemed to sense Lawrence's intentions and admonished, "The shepherds are stubborn old men who will not share their knowledge with you, and their knowledge is a kind of inheritance, and will not be given to humans who are not elves. ”
Lawrence said calmly: "This is normal, people and elves are the same, they have their own selfishness, and they will leave some important technology. ”
"But if you don't want to make progress with technology, you will be surpassed by others sooner or later."
Lawrence asked, "Will the plants planted by the shepherds keep out the invaders from outside, and will they also stop the beasts and the flood?" ”
Actually, I wanted to ask what would happen if I was burned by fire, but I was embarrassed to say such a vicious thing.
"Those thorns can only stop the beasts and mortals, not the birds of the sky, nor the wind and the rain." Dana naturally explained the general protection of the Elven Forest.
"It's the bows and arrows in the hands of the rangers and sentinels that really keep the invaders out there."
Lawrence suddenly overlooked one thing.
That is, I always thought of the elves as a group of peace-loving transcendents, always thought that they would not kill, and were proud to ignore the outside world.
But at this time, when she heard Dana's words, she suddenly realized that the bows and arrows in the hands of the rangers and sentinels could be stained with more than just animal blood.
In this quiet and backward world, it is normal for a few humans to be missing, or to die.
In particular, it is normal for humans to be crucified under a large tree after approaching the forest of these elves out of curiosity to collect medicine.
Think of the Ugs who used to sacrifice people alive, the Vakiri who killed people like hemp, and the Bomithes who also killed slaves and sacrificed to the heavens.
Even if a piglet runs into a boar's pigsty, it will be bitten and trampled to death, and it is actually very normal to be killed if you sneak close to someone else's land.
Those humans may have been ordinary people in the Hokuriku Kingdom before, or they could be ordinary people in the Kogiac Kingdom.
At present, except for the stars in this world, most countries actually do not welcome outsiders, and xenophobia is very serious.
The martial virtue of the elven clan should not be weak, it can be stable for hundreds of years, occupy the most fertile and stable land, and must have strong strength to rely on.
Lawrence, through his conversation with Dana, took a little closer to the whole picture of the elves.
Lawrence doesn't need to worry too much about the war, this time it's more to fight less, and the overall plan will not change.
Lawrence continued to listen to Dana, gaining a new understanding of the Greenwood Kingdom and the Forest, as well as the Agama Mountains.
As the mountain woman said before, the other side of the mountain is divided into three levels.
The second layer of the mountain people's life is the plateau under the snow-capped mountains, which is also a plateau on the mountains, and this area on top of the snowy mountains and forests has a unique topography and climate.
In spring and summer, a large amount of melting snow water is irrigated.
It is not suitable for growing crops, and the rushing streams create large numbers of puddles and swamps, leaving more than 80% of the entire region under the river.
Frogs, toads, lizards, and various animals that hide in the soil for the winter will also crawl out of the moist soil at this time to form the ecological circle of the rainforest.
In autumn, when there is no more snow flowing down the snow-capped mountains, the severed land loses most of its water in just one month, and then turns into grasslands and forests.
The winter here on the second floor is not cold, basically it does not freeze, and at the same time, it may be that there is a heat source underground, and the water of the stream and river evaporates quickly.
Lawrence pondered the unique changes in the region and quickly found the crux of the matter.
Grass!
Grass!
A large amount of lawn area will quickly evaporate a lot of water in the fall, and if the second layer of soil is not much, and most of it is impermeable rock structure, then it is indeed difficult to retain water.
Most of these vigorous plants need water and light, and the second layer has always been able to receive a lot of light, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the demand for water is also greater.
Without the water flow of the upper snow-capped mountains for irrigation, the area quickly transitioned from a rainforest climate to a steppe climate.
Then, the following year, when the mountain continues to flow a large amount of water, a large number of plants with a strong demand for water quality grow rapidly again.
Considering that this area is on the second floor, and it is also a plateau area on the mountain, Lawrence feels that it should be like this.
Whether it is specific or not, we will have to wait for Luo Shanda and others to come back and then analyze.
At this point, Lawrence's original plan was still not changed.
After a long dinner, Lawrence and Dana took a bath together and chatted about business in the hot tub.
"I'm going out to find the two teams that went out before, do you have any good suggestions?"
Lawrence still decided to go to someone himself, and it was more appropriate to do this kind of thing himself than someone else.
Especially after considering the knowledge of the terrain and other factors, Lawrence believes that continuing to send others to search will only delay time, and now it is necessary to find Loshanda and the others as soon as possible to determine their safety.
A day late, what if something happens?
The family is not the government affairs in hand, there is no difference between more and less, for Lawrence, he is not a selfless person, just an ordinary person.
If government affairs and family need to choose, Lawrence decisively chooses his family, and there is absolutely no hesitation.
Dana felt that Lawrence did everything right, and the more time she spent with Lawrence, the more she felt that Lawrence was right.
"You are a prophet, how can I give you advice on such a thing? If you send me out to find someone, I'll bring them back as soon as possible. ”
Dana rested her hands on the stone walls on either side, leaning comfortably against the sloping stone wall behind the hot tub, which was purposely built to look like a chair, and it was also a luxurious sofa chair in the water.
It's made of stone, but it's very comfortable to sit on with the warm water.
Lawrence looked at Dana, who was completely defenseless, and wanted to think about business, but soon his eyes turned to Dana's white body like milk.
"Your skin looks very good, about the same as Catherine's."
Lawrence compliments Dana on her good skin.
There are similar white beauties in the family, although Catherine is a black and straight royal sister, but her body is very white.
Dana smiled smugly, "Catherine? I just looked at her a few times, and I think it's still a little worse than me, I am born with skin, a natural product of blood. ”
Lawrence nodded, most witches beautify themselves with witchcraft and herbs, or strange things.
This time when he talked to those elven messengers, Lawrence kept smelling the smell of various herbs.
The smell of these herbs is not because they are immersed in herbalism, but because these elderly elves deliberately contaminate some botanical herbs that can leave a long-lasting smell in order to hide their aging.
Dana doesn't have a similar scent, as she says, some of the natural beauty is influenced by blood genes.
Genetic diseases, cancer, hair loss genes and other misfortunes can be inherited, and happiness can of course also be inherited.
In the world of transcendentals, Dana is undoubtedly the strongest of the strong, and naturally has an enviable bloodline!
Soon, Dana's gaze on Lawrence became eager.
Blood!
As the beneficiaries of a powerful bloodline, all transcendents and most humans are actually supporters of the bloodline theory, and Lawrence's bloodline is certainly extremely powerful.
