Chapter 76: Race, Bloodline
War between barbarians and elves is sure to break out.
Both the king of the elves and the barbarians knew this very well.
When the decision of war is made on the stronger side, the weaker side lacks sufficient judgment on the timing of the outbreak of war.
With the slow movement of the Dom sheep and the sails, it took a month for the Kingdom of Greenwood to learn of the Prophet's sincerity.
The Elven Queen Cydalia quickly set Lawrence's letter on the candle and lit it, watching as it turned to ashes on the stone floor.
At the side of the Elven Queen stood her faithful guard, Anne.
Anne noticed the Queen's actions and asked softly, "Queen, is the Ravenfeather Prophet provoking us again?" ”
The queen looked at the letter that had turned into flames with a calm face, "The Ravenfeather Prophet has decided to lift the food blockade on us and is willing to continue to sell us food, but we need to exchange medicinal materials and materials, and also allow our elves to work with him. ”
Anne said angrily: "What an arrogant barbarian! ”
The queen was very calm and said directly: "You don't need to tell the young people about this matter, those young people will definitely cause trouble if they know about it." ”
"I need to think carefully about what to do, I think there should be a guy I saw earlier in this letter, you can check it."
"Yes, Queen." Anne respectfully complied, and quickly exited the Queen's treehouse.
The queen was alone thinking about what was next, and although Lawrence lifted the lockdown on the Elven Forest, it was not a good thing for the queen.
Obviously, the barbarians who are dangerous to kill are outside, so everyone must gather together to resist the barbarians.
Now it would not be a good thing for the race if the young elves knew that the barbarians were no longer blockading.
"I won't let my kind, like those outcasts, run away as slaves in the land of the barbarians, absolutely not!"
The queen quickly made the logical decision to remain hostile to the Kingdom of Stars.
On the other side of Mount Agama, Lawrence was also thinking about the elves.
"If you go to live in Snow Mountain Castle, sooner or later you will have a dispute with the elves."
"But it doesn't matter, those elves are indeed powerful, and the same number of elves will definitely be able to defeat two or three times as many barbarian warriors, or even more."
"But being able to fight doesn't mean that they can fight all the time, their warriors are also flesh and blood, and they also have the emotions and pursuits of high-level creatures, once they find out that they are treated differently from others, they will easily run away."
"Elves are not human beings, those elves alone are a family, and they are also a group of unstable elements in civilized society."
Lawrence still insisted on the same idea as before, that the elves should continue to stay in the elven country.
Those elves are not peace-loving vegetarian elves, but a group of extraordinary individuals who have mastered the power of destruction from their blood, and at the same time have weak feelings and are extremely intelligent.
There are no children and families.,Open to things that men and women love without nostalgia.,Keep a distance from both the same race and the other race.。
This kind of individual who has no weakness and has destructive power, the more civilized the country is, the more wary this group of individuals is.
Lawrence didn't want these elves to scatter, because he thought that once these elves had a unified goal [assassinating Lawrence], then his life would not be so comfortable.
Therefore, in the war with the elves, Lawrence, whether it was before or now, is mainly to pacify or destroy the upper echelons, and try not to make enemies with those elven warriors and civilians.
Previously, it was the co-optation and bribery of the elven queen, and during the blockade, he always acquiesced in the trade of goods, delaying the emergence of wars and contradictions.
Now because of Stella's relationship, she wants to correct the malicious behavior of some elf warriors, but it is also done quietly, placing elite warriors among the homeless people to squat and guard those elves who come out to hunt, and do not take the initiative to expand the conflict.
Dana and Stella, as well as Dahir and Shuda, as well as many wizards recruited over the years, have proven that they can win over some elves.
Lawrence pondered the location of his new home, and if a city-state and a military fortress were established on the snowy plateau, then the elves would be suppressed in all directions, cutting off the other party's way back.
Now the entire continent is basically the territory of the Star Alliance, and the elves slaughtered the outcasts, and the other kings also know about it.
The impact of this kind of thing is very large, although there is no movement at the moment, but if the Kingdom of Stars intends to make a move against the Green Forest Kingdom, the other kingdoms will definitely follow.
"It's definitely going to be fought, but I don't know how many warriors and elves will die."
Lawrence sighed, stopped paying attention to it for a few seconds, and began to think about the construction plan for a new home and a new castle.
This time, we need to learn from the previous lessons and design the new house to last longer.
***
Winter has arrived in the Land of Ice, and the shallow puddles and basins of water are gradually beginning to freeze.
Tonight was a quiet snowy night, and the first heavy snow fell quietly and naturally from evening to evening.
The little nun ran in from the outside, and after pushing the door open with her sturdy back, the little nun who had broken in put the door on her back again.
Gloves brought in a clay pot with a lid on it, and placed it carefully on the table next to the bed.
There is also a tin stove in the room, and next to the stove there are two water tanks, one for current use and one for spare.
"It's snowing today, and when the Prophet came over, we were given some food, and my favorite potato fried chicken was made in the kitchen!"
The little nun communicates her joy with the little fishman with his head peeking out of the tank.
Potatoes are the most common food in this region, and ordinary people eat potatoes almost every day, to the point that they don't want to eat them at all.
The little nun also doesn't like to eat boiled potatoes, but she especially likes to eat potato chunks that are served with fried chicken nuggets!
Soon the little nun opened the lid, leaned down and sniffed the large bowl of potatoes and chicken nuggets, and her face flushed with joy.
"Whew!" The little fish-man makes a sound like a dog barking.
The little nun quickly smiled and said, "Give you a few potatoes to taste, but the chicken will only give you a piece!" ”
"Whew!" The little fish-man was lying on the edge of the water tank with his flippers on his hands, shaking his flippers slightly and happily responding.
It thinks it makes sense, just let yourself take a bite.
The little nun soon tasted a potato herself, because it was customary to save the good ones for later.
After eating a potato herself, the little nun put three more potato pieces out of small wooden chips, as well as a bone with chicken.
The little fishman soon floated on top of the tank with a wooden plank in both hands, eating potatoes and fried chicken nuggets.
The little nun pushed the little fishman on the back, "Don't move, I'll add some hot water to you." ”
"Whew!" The little fish-man quickly stood up in the water, sticking to the edge of the tank like an upright log.
The little nun picked up the boiling kettle from the stove and poured hot water into the tank with a special funnel, heating it up a little.
The little fish-man usually likes to move around in the water tank, and some of the water will be drained, which also causes the ground to be wet all the time.
However, it was not cold in the house, and the merciful prophet provided hot water for the stove and winter clothes, and also installed a tin chimney for the little nun's room.
Although it is a little smaller and the light is not good, it is very good compared to the rest of the people.
When the little nun had finished all this, she poured the rest of the water from the kettle into her bowl to melt the cold bread, scooped the water from the bucket next to the stove and put it into the kettle, hung the tin kettle on the stove, and then sat down happily on the edge of the bed, and ate the potatoes and fried chicken in the big basin with chopsticks.
Only four or five days a month can you eat such delicious meat, so whenever this time comes, the little nun and the rest of the girls who do chores will be very happy.
The little fish-man quickly ate all the potatoes and chicken, and even the chicken bones were crushed and swallowed.
Hot food is just a way to improve the taste, and the staple food of the little fishman is still large pieces of fish and seal meat, as well as a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits that he likes to eat.
Every day before the little nun goes out to work, she will put a washed cabbage into the water tank, and the little fishman will leisurely hold the cabbage and nibble on it for an hour or two after eating the fish.
After half an hour, the little nun stirred warm water and chopsticks in a very clean rice bowl, and then drank the last bit of meaty soup.
"Eat! It's time to sleep! ”
The little nun wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked through the small hole in the room into the dark outside, where nothing could be seen.
But it always feels very quiet.
This loneliness was only fleeting, and the young girl did not understand it, and soon immersed herself in the joy of eating and drinking.
Even one person has a lot to do, and the little nun takes the little fish-man out of the tank and puts it in the basin.
The little nun warned: "You can't go to bed until you're done urinating!" ”
The little fish-man quickly became honest, and he always couldn't control the behavior of wetting the bed, as if it was in his nature, and he peed out when he fell asleep.
It's almost impossible for a creature in the water to do something like not wetting the bed.
The little nun sensed the loss of the little fishman and quickly comforted: "It's okay, tomorrow the prophet will come to the monastery to inquire, and when the time comes, we will ask the wise prophet, he must have a way!" ”
The little fishman nodded happily with his hands on a small stool higher than the basin.
Its body is no longer the bark of the summer, but has grown fine fluff, and although it looks like a toddler with a smooth upper body from a distance, it is actually a layer of waterproof fur.
Its special body structure makes it more resistant to frost than humans, and with the benevolent help of the Prophet, it has always been very comfortable in this place.
The Sea Clan toddler was less than a year old, and he was already able to understand the little nun's language, what she was doing, what she was about to do, and found a way to express her opinions and thoughts.
All this happens under the premise of the lack of maternal education, whether it is contact and life with human beings, or the understanding of itself, the determination of life and growth path, it is all groped out by relying on its own blood and wisdom.
Judging by various manifestations, this Sea Tribe's toddler is clearly more advanced than the humans around him, despite not looking like a human. (End of chapter)
