It took a little time to be as concise as possible, and the shocking effect that far surpassed the moment when Nidhogg descended on the village was revealed in the form of dead silence.

[Wipe out 500 cavalry in the blink of an eye], [A noble man who was recognized and served by the black dragon], [An expert in business, alchemy, and negotiation] - the above statements will only be regarded as braggings or rumors by the elves when they come from the mouths of others, but in front of them are the testimony of Brunhill himself, everyone knows that this girl will not lie, and the default of the dragon clan is a silent confirmation. Credibility was no longer a concern, and the old patriarch had to consider the implications of this unheard-of situation and how to choose.

As the patriarch, each decision of the emir will bring different effects to the village, and now this decision is undoubtedly the highest in the impact of Cheng dù, which can be said to be the kind that determines the life and death of the whole village, and it is necessary to have sufficient time to think about it to weigh it.

But...... Time is not infinite, and there is even less for the emir to spend.

"Miss Brunhill, I don't want to disturb you. But I have to warn that the adult has been waiting a bit long. ”

Nidhogg's tone is the reserved style of the dragons when speaking to other races, the unhurried pace of speech, the generous posture is beyond reproach, the choice of words and sentences is not problematic on the surface, and the main content is outright impatience and dissatisfaction.

There was a feeling of dizziness on his forehead, and the future that Emir foresaw seemed even bleaker. It is not yet known what the character of the lord he has never met, and this noble dragon clan here is obviously not easy to fool.

Opening their mouths to say something to appease the black dragon's displeasure, Tyr and Thor, who had been summoned back by the trumpet, squeezed through the crowd in front of the emir, and with an embarrassed and strange expression, they recounted what had happened at the outpost outside the valley, and the more embarrassing parts were not concealed in the slightest.

The rift carved by the years on the patriarch's face was almost squeezed together at this moment, and that guy was afraid that he had even calculated this little trick of delaying time, and did not give him any room to play small tricks - not with such a trick!!!!!

Anyway, he is also the old man who has led this village through difficulties again and again, and he was actually eaten to death by a young man who has never even seen him!

He only wanted to yell or cry a few times to vent his grief and anger now, but the eyes of many clansmen were focused on his body, and the black dragon was staring at him condescendingly, the coldness in his eyes burning the old patriarch's nerves.

Imagine the situation of the Count of Agen Toraton and the Archbishop, and perhaps the Emir Patriarch would not have been so depressed and angry. In any case, those two lost 500 elite cavalry and gained nothing, and after learning the tragic news, I am afraid that even the strength to cry will not be left at all.

No matter how reluctant he was, in the end, the gray lips still spat out the most appropriate decision for the situation.

"Let's go meet the guests. ”

The moment the words of disobedience were spoken, the relieved elves failed to notice, and the emir hid his right hand under the long sleeve of linen, and his hands clenched into fists in humiliation and anger, trying to restrain the trembling of his muscles.

##############

"Uh...... So you're the one...... The ...... Hmmm......"

"Li Lin. Siegfried Otto Lilin. Emir Patriarch of the Elves of the Niflheim Valley, I have heard of your name from Miss Brunhill, and it is a privilege for me to meet such an intelligent and experienced elder. ”

Li Lin ...... Mr. ”

Looking up and down at the young man in front of him, he still added honorifics after consideration, no matter how upset the other party's small means, and no matter whether the two sides were essentially performing at the moment, since the other party had bowed and saluted, and the attitude and tone were full of sincerity, the minimum response was still indispensable. ...,

Slightly bowed down and returned the courtesy, and the flat tone that didn't feel the emotion continued.

"Thank you for your timely assistance to Brunhill and we are grateful for your kindness. ”

"I'm ashamed of your compliment, I'm just getting caught up in the situation, and I can't help much. In addition, Miss Brunhill's excellent resilience and strong will also played an important role in resolving this unpleasant incident. To be honest, there aren't many women who can survive that kind of crisis, and that's something I admire. ”

People in general, or in some reverence for the Mother Goddess Marfa, and those who are devout. At the beginning of the discourse, he will praise the Mother Goddess for her miracles. At the end of the Word, thank Mother Goddess for her omnipotence and mercy.

Li Lin, who has not mentioned the mother goddess at all from beginning to end, can be classified as an outlier, or an extreme outlier with no gods.

[Arrogant little guy. 】

He is not a devout disciple, but the old patriarch who can't just look at it didn't let go of this inconspicuous, but rather frowning detail, and his eyebrows stirred up unhappily, adding a new derogatory evaluation to Li Lin.

On the way to Niforheim, Brunhill had learned about Li Lin's godless manners, and had made a kind persuasion about his lack of faith. It's just that Li Lin has no intention of changing at all -- it is too difficult to make a materialist who has a negative attitude towards the gods a pious belief. In addition, there is a rough outline of the solution to the monotheistic religion that is widely believed, including the elves, and he wants religion to serve that plan, not to be swayed or even manipulated by religion. Therefore, there is no room for compromise on the position on this issue, and there is no need to dwell on it.

"Mr. Li Lin. ”

The salutation of honorifics once again spasmed the stomach pouch, and the sour taste and vomit that surged into the throat were forced, and the dignity of the patriarch was corrected, and the emir spoke again:

"I think you should have learned from my granddaughter about the current situation in our village, right?"

"If it's just a rough idea, it's pretty much it. However, without further detailed certification from the field trip, it can never be regarded as a process of "understanding". ”

The corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper, the old patriarch's thoughts were too obvious, and he was waiting for the [trap].

"It's hard to talk about, and we really don't have anything to do to reward you right now...... Other than that...... Well, Brunhill mentioned that you are very knowledgeable in addition to your great knowledge of alchemy. I'm ashamed, and I'd like to ask you to help us solve some of the problems, okay?"

Looking at the gentle and kind smile of the emir and the teasing eyes of the job fair mean interview supervisor, the timidly wavering smile flashed, and the other party's snickering look was also captured by the red eyes.

"It's incumbent on you, and you don't have to be so polite. If there's anything I can do to help, just ask, and I'll do my best. ”

"Oh...... Really? It's great. ”

The joy of the heart does not need to be suppressed anymore, and the unconcealed expression emerges. The old patriarch stroked the silver whisker that hung down to his waist, and his smile was quite playful.

The kind smile continued to slide into a sneer as the corners of his mouth twitched, and the slits of his eyelids shot out a burning gaze—such an unnatural appearance was rare, and it was a pity that the elves standing behind the old patriarch did not have the opportunity to see such a hideous smile because of their position.

The relative compensation is that they also saw the appearance of a foreign boy full of vigor and confidence because of their standing position-Li Lin's confident smile that can overcome all difficulties in the world brought a refreshing breeze to the elves.

Everyone still doesn't believe much in this human (suspected) teenager, but except for a few, the simple elves' first impression of the black-haired and red-eyed heretical boy is pretty good. Compared with the [Armored Beasts] who have done all the bad things in their impressions, Li Lin, who speaks kindly and treats people politely, is at least more affable. ...,

But the vigilance of the elves will not be put away there, and the possibility that Li Lin is a fraudster or spy cannot be ignored either. In the days to come, the sight of [Care] will accompany this strange boy, and every move will be reported to the Emir Patriarch.

The right thing to do - to do what the Emir Patriarch expected and Li Lin had planned. It's great that no one is dissatisfied, congratulations, congratulations.

In the pleasant atmosphere of conversation, a few people who are slightly out of place are always so abrupt.

Brunhill's eyebrows twisted slightly, and the uneasy face of the retracted smile was on the back of the patriarch's grandfather, and Tyr stared at Li Lin, thoughtful and confused leaving an almost imperceptible smile on his resolute face. Wally, who stood beside Li Lin, lowered his head as usual, and the shadow of his hood hid the mocking sneer. It was a good thing that Nidhogg, who had left far away, had not been noticed, otherwise the sneer with the corners of his mouth open and his sharp teeth would have frightened many women and children at the scene.

Except for these unsociable people, no one believed that Li Lin had the ability to solve the problems of the elf village.

He is too young, which is an advantage and a source of mistrust.

Young people are characterized by hot-blooded impulses, the opposite of which is that impulses come and go quickly, lacking the patience and resilience honed by the elderly.

The boiling adrenaline gives the courage and explosiveness to move forward at that age, prompting young people to often accomplish unimaginable feats. The side effects that come with it – a lack of calm thinking and a big-picture perspective – often end up making feats ridiculous and ridiculous.

Most of the older children in adolescence are the same: passionate, rebellious, impetuous, sensitive, over-esteem, believing that the world is at their feet, and that they can achieve something and achieve what they want with their own strength. The passage of time will slowly wear away their edges, and in the future, these former young people will eventually realize that their past actions are so childish and ridiculous.

The brunette boy will suffer the same setbacks, not somewhere else, at another time, in the Niflheim Valley, and soon.

It's not a bad thing, but too much of a smooth sailing experience is not a real good person. -- Most of the elves hold this view of the hilariousness.

An outsider. Even if he had helped Brunhill, the label of "outsider" would not be torn off lightly. The xenophobic instinct of the elves who have suffered too much from other races is exerting the function of self-preservation, and they know what is going on, but the scales in their hearts will still be biased towards the old patriarch of [their own people].

It is not difficult to grasp the mentality of the masses who watch soy sauce, and there is still room for discussion whether this mentality belongs to the category of malice or goodwill. At present, the focus is not on the discussion of the moral scope, Li Lin only needs them to watch.

The stage and props full of thorns and obstacles, the antagonist of preparing tricky problems, the supporting role of each entering the role, the protagonist who grasps the rhythm of the performance and occupies the central position - and the director who is also the script writer is already in place, but if there is no onlooker, no matter how wonderful the scene is, it is just cheap self-directed and self-acting.

Li Lin needs the audience, and the audience also needs a little entertainment, to add some excitement to the boring life, as for the old patriarch, he just wants to drive this young man away as soon as possible.

Everyone takes what they need, and everyone is satisfied.

"Welcome to Niflheim, visitors from afar. ”

Nodding with satisfaction, the Emir Patriarch bowed, his right hand slowly raised, and made a gesture of "Please enter" to the entrance of the deep valley where the milky white fog had faded and showed a majestic outline.

The elven village, a stage unknown to the outside world, has opened the curtain on Li Lin, and the black-haired protagonist appears with a signature smile.
