Chapter 416: awkward atmosphere
Because he had the experience of studying Wadvor once, Lin quickly came up with the plan and requirements and handed them over to the elves. After all, it is on someone else's land, and Lin Ke clearly explained what to do. This is to avoid misunderstanding, and it is also the key point to make yourself easy to do things.
Furthermore, most of the equipment used to study the World Tree was left in the tribe of the wood elves. Waldwoll personally taught those wood elves, and made some routine records and continuous observation and research. In other words, except for the first coffin, everything else must be made and provided by the elves.
This is similar to when you were on Earth. Even if you don’t really teach your knowledge to the donor, you still have to spend some effort to teach the other party, so that the donor will willingly pay for your own research.
In Lost Land, making money is not difficult for someone, but the difficulty lies in the need to replace it with useful magic materials, and then make the necessary equipment. For a world where barter is prevalent and the variety of rare materials is not as abundant as it is available, this is not something that can be done everywhere with money. The so-called one thing is extraordinary and two masters, this kind of troublesome thing is directly blamed on the elves, causing them headaches.
Of course, the elves are not just doing nothing like this, just staying by and watching others do what they do. There are still a group of people doing odd jobs by Lin's side, doing some simple calculations. And their most original purpose is actually to learn someone's knowledge related to World Tree.
At first, Lin planned to teach them seriously. But the knowledge of physics and mathematics related to the world tree, even the simplest introductory part, is like a bible to the elves. So Kaya was sent again to teach this group of illiterate elementary school students grade mathematics.
To be honest, seeing such a group of elves can make someone's mind a little more balanced. Maybe Jermaine's performance was not as exaggerated as Fern's, who emptied someone's belly of dry food in just a few days.
The performance of Jermaine, the silver-bearded dwarf, was not bad. Lin had nothing to teach him about the parts he was interested in. The rest, at most, is to provide some research directions, or the general direction to solve the problem.
And the performance of that group of illiterate elves looks more like ordinary students on Earth. Maybe they are more eager to learn and work harder, but at least they don't learn at the same speed as those two perverts.
This actually confirms someone's long-standing speculation that the excellence shown by the elves is actually the result of their accumulation over a longer period of time, not that they are really talented, and they are higher than humans from the beginning . At best, they live longer.
However, judging from the efficiency of handling things, it can only be said that he really deserves to be an elf. Although he handles things in an orderly manner, he handles everything lukewarmly. And the elves deal with things at a leisurely pace, and when the pre-work is not fully in place, someone can only follow along slowly.
Here, of course, the most urgent thing is World Tree Lahti. The kitten lying on someone's head, no matter who it sees, it meows in a cursing tone, and dances its two short legs along the way. It's a pity that not many elves can see him or hear him, and someone doesn't want to be a mouthpiece, scolding a group of people who have nothing to do with him.
Another one who showed eagerness was the king of the elves, Ridan III. Of course, his pressure comes from the Sanhua kitten who appears in front of him from time to time. As a legitimate World Tree megaphone, it is his duty to convey the will of His Majesty. It's just that the result of the young king's appearance made someone smell an unusual atmosphere.
It stands to reason that the king is the highest leader of a country. The leader gave the order directly, and the people below did not rush to complete the task. But the elves still maintain their usual meekness, which is a bit abnormal. Of course, the guards brought by the young king didn't have the attitude that others would die in a hurry. The real problem was the Shenmu guards directly under Lahti.
In fact, not only did they not cooperate in promoting the promotion of the World Tree, but as a member of the Shenmu Guard, one of the local owners, they were picky and troublesome everywhere.
It's fine if there is no place to receive guests. There are various regulations on where to camp and where to go to the toilet. There are also various restrictions on cooking, and there are even restrictions on the use of open flames. Fire can only be used at specific times. This allows most elves with tasks to eat dry food after missing meals.
Generally speaking, Lin's attitude as a guest is that the guest does as he pleases. If the host has any taboos, of course, there is no need to break those taboos to live, and naturally try to cooperate as much as possible. But after these days, someone has only one feeling, this is not a problem of the other party's rules, but deliberately looking for trouble.
People with this kind of treatment are not just a few humans and silver-bearded dwarves who don't know where. Including the young king, the accompanying ministers, and all the elf guards and elf warriors who protected the ministers, all suffered the same treatment.
Maybe the king thought it was because he was too young, so he chose to swallow his anger when faced with such treatment. Most of the ordinary elves are also photographed by the prestige of the Shenmu Guards in their hearts, so they also choose to accept it. But not all elves are soft persimmons and can be manipulated by others.
The group of people who are most cold about the attitude of the Shenmu Guards is of course the ministers who came with the king. In terms of age and seniority, many members of the guards are considered their juniors, how could they allow a group of juniors to show off in front of him. It is true that they are all the best elves, but when it is time to scold them, these old elves are not polite.
Another group of dissatisfied is a group of elves headed by Liena Titov. Their common feature is that they have traveled to the Lost World, instead of staying in the closed environment of the elves, blindly following all the traditions from ancient times to the present. In particular, some of them had the opportunity to join the Shenmu Guards, but they did not join for various reasons.
But no matter how dissatisfied, the elves still know how to control themselves on the whole, and will not conflict because of some trivial things. In any case, the one who can protect the king so far will not be a reckless man who is so blind that he ignores the young king's opinion and fights with others. What's more, the opponent is not the enemy, or the group of humans who surround the kingdom, but the elites who belong to their own country.
Such tolerance is a dangerous signal in someone's eyes. Lin not only felt that the atmosphere under the shade of the World Tree was very strange; even to some elves, it was like a pressure cooker that was constantly accumulating pressure, and it was not surprising when it broke out. The indistinct confrontation within the elves has already made someone want to go back home, frankly.
The so-called abnormal things must have demons. Because he was too late to officially start observation and research, he could only continue to do meaningless preparations, so Lin took advantage of this gap to secretly observe the members of Lahti's Shenmu Guard, and recorded their every move.
Within a few days, he found a free time, threw off the marching tent, and slipped into the boudoir of two people. Of course, the time was right, and I didn't see any embarrassing things.
Seeing someone's appearance, a lich, an elf who was sneakily turning on the small stove, and someone's two apprentices all had their eyes widened, half-sucked noodles hanging from their mouths, with a bewildered expression. The look of grabbing a bag. This group of people who only ate bread, who have been trained by someone for a long time, can cook a few dishes from the earth. Not to mention eating, the direct descendant from the foodie empire, conquering the stomachs of this group of people is no longer a problem.
The two girls continued to snort and **** the noodles into their mouths heartlessly, but the beautiful elf sword dancer buried her face in the bowl with red pointed ears and continued to eat. I thought that if I didn't see anyone, my conscience would be fine. Fen was calm enough, bit off the noodles, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed, and asked:
"Why do you want to appear suddenly to scare people? Or, you finally got the courage to come and sleep with us at night?"
I don't know how many times the invitation was made, but someone still shook his head like a wave drum, even though the elf sword dancer generously agreed, and also looked eager to try. People are self-aware, a certain person knows very well that he can't even deal with a lich, and wants to fight two. Do you think your life is too long, or your body is too good. So Lin quickly turned the topic back to his goal and said:
"I have something to ask Riena."
"Ask me?" The female elf who was named raised her head. Regardless of the scallion on the corner of her mouth~www.readwn.com~ she asked: "What do you want to ask me? I won't tell you about things that are too confidential. With Fen, we have a tacit understanding , Don't ask too many things that you shouldn't ask. I have the same attitude towards you. "
"Hmm." After pondering for a while, Lin smiled helplessly, and said, "Answer as much as you can. The first question is, how many people are there in your Shenmu guard?" After speaking, he opened the standard water mirror The surgical screen shows densely packed pictures of human faces. They all have pointed ears and wear hoods, but they don't deliberately conceal their faces and features.
Glancing at the screen, Riena said, "They are all of them. Why are you asking this?"
"Because in the past few days, I have confirmed the members of the Shenmu Guard. Excluding the suspected duplicate objects, there are only seventy-three in total. Is this your Shenmu Guard, all members? This is very important, please think about it Answer clearly."
Although she didn't understand, but seeing someone's serious face, Liena replied seriously: "No, as far as I know, there are a total of 213 people in the Shenmu Guards. Among them are three druid elders, There are also two extraordinary people. You have seen one of them, that is Ronan Peterson."
