Chapter 21 Chapter nine
We went to the second floor again.Alfred became very quiet after he was reborn from the dead, and he kindly helped us lead the way.After reaching the central baron's room on the second floor, I said to Alvned:
"Call the baron out, please, and in a low voice."
Alvned, as I said, quietly called the baron.The baron seemed to be in a deep sleep, and it was impossible to wake him.
"Don't you have a key?"
"No."
"Then there is no other way. Well, let's take it as a commemoration of my return to OPG."
Without hesitation, I patted the door with the palm of my hand.call!The whole door panel flew out.I hasten to say:
"Okay, Shan Sen! You bring the baron out! I'll block those servants."
Shan Sen moved his body quickly like a gust of wind.Then I began to look at the servants, who were commotion at the sound of doors being broken.They went up to the second floor to look, but they couldn't see clearly because it was too dark.After a while they lit their candles and lanterns, and when they saw us they all screamed.At this time, Shan Sen had already grabbed the back of Baron Hilican and dragged him out.
"You bloody bastards! You know who I am, but you still dare to do this! Are you crazy?"
The baron cursed again with many harsh words.He is really a person who can't judge the situation!I grabbed the guy's feet and he roared:
"Bastard, bastard! How dare you do this! Hurry up and let go!"
"If I were your servant, I would listen to you."
Immediately I hoisted the Baron over the railing on the second floor in this way.The servants below screamed.
"Ugh!"
Baron Sirikan foamed from his mouth.I shook my arms up and down and said:
"You are really heavy!"
"Damn bastard! How dare you treat me like this, do you think you can survive?"
"If you continue to make noise like this, do you think you can survive?"
Only then did the baron quiet down.Because as soon as I let him go, he would become the "late" Baron Sirikan on the spot.He shouted desperately towards the bottom:
"You, you guys, catch me quickly! Ah, no, come up and kill these guys!"
The servants ran up to the baron in panic, and raised their hands.As soon as I took a step to the left, the servants immediately moved to the left.And if I take a step to the right, the servants will run to the right while yelling.What fun!I just went back and forth several times.
The baron was head down, already dizzy after being lifted up and down like this.But he kept on cursing, and kept cursing me.Carl, who couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, said to me:
"Okay, brother Niederfa. Don't be like this again, let him down quickly."
I smiled slightly and put him down.Baron Sirikan wanted to run away as soon as he was put down, but I pressed the guy's shoulder.So he can only scold me as much as possible with his still free mouth:
"You hateful bastards! The dirty rats in the sinkhole don't respect people and dare to be presumptuous! You really want to die so much! How dare you be so rude to me! These dirty bastards!"
This baron is really good at talking.He was so dizzy that he could still keep cursing.Karl originally wanted to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he shook his head and gave up.
"It really doesn't make sense with him. Forget it, let's go."
"You guys! Where do you think you can escape? Do you want to escape back to the mouse hole in the stinking gutter? There is no way! You will be quartered first! How dare you do such a horrible thing to me , Do you think you can survive? No matter how merciful I am, I can't spare you!"
I said to Carl:
"Just throw him out. It's disgusting!"
"What are you talking about? Brat, how dare you say such a thing? You brat! How can you treat me like this?"
Carl almost told me to throw him out.
"Just throwing it away like this...isn't that good."
At this time, the door was opened roughly, and then the private soldiers rushed in.What a quick move!It just appeared now!They went up to the second floor, and when they saw the baron, who seemed to have taken hostages, they cried out:
"Hey! You guys, hiccup! They're all surrounded, ah, no, they're surrounded!"
I faced them and yelled:
"Speak clearly, these idiots! It's amazing that you can still move!"
The private soldiers were all drunk, and they couldn't even walk steadily, and some of them wore their armor backwards, some just wore it, and some put their shields on their heads, and then put their helmets on their heads. In the hand, it really has what it looks like.No matter how you look at them, they won't be scary, it's really shameful.What the hell did these private soldiers guarding the mansion eat to get so drunk?The Baron seemed to feel the same way as I did.He and I yelled at the private soldiers at the same time.The private soldiers didn't hear the baron's swear words at all, they all staggered, and some even sat on the ground and vomited.very impressive!Had we known this, we should have entered through the main entrance from the start!Karl looked at the private soldiers and said with a smile:
"Very well, this should be enough!"
Shansen and I looked at Carl in surprise.Karl saluted Baron Sirikan solemnly, and said:
"My lord, do you want to make a bet with me?"
"Beat, what bet?"
"We bet that if the baron disappears, will those soldiers plunder your property? How about it? I bet that if we take you away immediately, those soldiers will plunder the gems, clothes, and important documents you care about .I bet 'it will be,' and your lordship you'd probably bet 'it won't be,' have you? Because you believe in the loyalty of those soldiers."
Fear finally appeared on the baron's face.
"You, you, how can you..."
"Brother Niederfa, beat him unconscious."
As soon as I heard this, I punched the baron on the back of the head, and the baron fell to the ground like a frog.Karl looked down, and said to Alvned:
"Mr. Alvnaid, where are the baron's family?"
"No family. His wife is dead and his daughter is married."
"Then there's no need to drag your feet. You'd probably like some, too, Mr. Alvnard, wouldn't you?"
Alfred laughed out loud.But he looked at Iluli's eyes, then lowered his head.Karl said:
"As far as your conscience allows, take something as a price for serving the baron."
"Forget it. I'll just go get my luggage. I've got pretty much enough tonight. I've learned a new kind of magic."
Carl smiled and said:
"You're a wizard indeed. I thought you'd say 'you've saved your life.' You go. Go back to your teacher, if you can."
Alfred thanked us and headed back to the basement.Carl quickly instructed:
"When the private soldiers are making noise, you can't let those servants get hurt. Brother Fei Xifu, brother Niederfa, go and take away the weapons and equipment of those private soldiers, and knock them all out. They are all drunk, this time It should be easy, right? And, maids and maids, we will take this guy, you can take what you like!"
"What, what do you mean?"
Carl showed a sly expression and said:
"If you don't hurry, you won't get much."
Only then did the servants' eyes turn sharp.Then Shansen and I smiled and jumped down the stairs.
"Yeah drink!"
By beating, by swinging, by throwing, by kicking...
We rode away from the baron's house.Iluli had just led a horse out of the baron's stable.It's amazing.I smiled and said to her:
"Elves also do this kind of behavior?"
"This is a very reasonable behavior. Anyway, those horses have lost their owners, and they may be sold or taken away by those private soldiers. Since there is no owner, let me be its owner. Because this is Reasonable choice, let's name it 'Lixuan', okay?"
"Fine, because it's 'reasonable' for you to do this."
I smiled slightly, and Yi Luli also smiled, only Shan Sen had a bitter face.Now he rides not with Iluli, but with the Baron.I asked Carl a question:
"But if we leave like this, wouldn't it be considered kidnapping? Will the people from the city government come after us?"
"This guy has such great influence in the city government because of his money power. Now that he has no money power, the city government should no longer be this guy's lackey. And we can still Use another method."
"what way?"
We didn't know what the method was until we got to the city hall in Reynolds.
On the path near the city hall, I took out paper, ink, and a pen.The ones I bought a while ago came in handy.Karl then ordered the baron to write a statement to donate the Colosseum to the city government.Of course, the Baron could not have written that statement willingly.
"What, what? It's impossible!"
Immediately after Shan Sen shook his head slightly, he said a few words in the baron's ear.Before long, the baron turned green with fright, and hurriedly began to write a statement.I asked Shan Sen:
"What did you say to him?"
"It's okay not to listen to us. I don't want to say it a second time either."
The baron wrote a statement about donating the Colosseum to the city government.And luckily, there were just three of us, because Iluli is not a citizen of Byzos.Anyway, under the Baron's signature are Carl, Shanson and myself.
"I'm not an adult yet, so I don't seem to be able to be a witness yet."
Carl shook his head and said:
"No, it is the authority of Lord Hetante to decide whether you are an adult, Brother Niederfa. And I am the full-power agent of Lord Hetante now, so your name written under my name can be accepted as the same as mine. treatment."
what!That's pretty amazing!I finish writing my signature.Carl took the paper and waved it a few times to dry the ink.Then he said:
"Well, if the city government accepts this property, they won't have any objections. And..."
Carl took out another piece of paper and quickly wrote something on it.When he had finished writing, he said:
"The Reynolds city government will not chase us anymore. Didn't Mr. Xue Lin say that we are not on the list of criminals? So there is no reason for the city government to chase us. I wrote 'exchange us with the arena freedom!', if the mayor's head can think things through, he should agree to my proposal. If we must be treated as criminals and then chased after us, the baron's statement will be invalid. Because criminals cannot be witnesses of."
"Wow!"
Shansen and I nodded in admiration from the bottom of our hearts.Could it be that Karl was previously a terrorizing criminal or a liar?We walked some distance away from the city hall, and Karl tied the two pieces of paper to the arrow and shot at the city hall.Then we took it as a signal and galloped away from Reynolds City.
The morning sun is rising. At daybreak we dropped the Baron in place outside the city of Reynolds.The Baron has long since lost all courage, and is completely a cripple.Even if he returned to Reynolds City, he would have no property or influence.We encouraged him to ask his friends for help, but the Baron didn't seem to have any friends.It's best to take revenge happily, but seeing him so depressed!We still feel guilty.How come you don't even have a friend? I can probably understand Carl's way of revenge.He induced the natural result from Baron Sirikan's character.Baron Sirikan, if he was a man of great renown, would retain his property and his prestige whether he disappeared or not.Karl's way of revenge is to bring out the hidden punishment inside, and it will not cause any harm to kind people. But it was very effective against Baron Sirikan.Well, Carl is a horrible person.As soon as I said that, Carl burst out laughing. "Yes, yes, Brother Niederfa. When a person commits a mistake, even if he does not receive the visible punishment, he still cannot feel at ease. Because the punishment has already accumulated layer upon layer in that person's heart. The so-called punishment does not lie elsewhere. If a wise judge judges, he will know that the most appropriate punishment for the criminal's crime already exists in the criminal's heart. I am only imitating this principle. " Right now we are in the middle of a mountain east of Reynolds, where we are camping.It might seem odd to go to bed when the sun comes up, but we couldn't move on since we hadn't slept all night. I enjoyed the morning sun, looked at the still flickering lights of Reynolds City, and said: "Reynolds, there are good memories and bad memories." "This is the same no matter where you go. As long as it is where humans live, it will be like this." Here is Carl's answer.I looked at Ellie. Iluli is looking at the morning sun.Her eyes closed slowly, and her face stretched out toward the sun like sunflowers.That ray of sunlight that warmed her eyelashes was beautiful. "Iluli? Can you compare the city of humans and the city of elves?" With her eyes still closed, Iluli said: "Elves don't have cities." "So if you were asked to define human society from the point of view of the elves? I'm actually a little disturbed, and a little ashamed. What kind of evaluation would you give?" My question also caught the attention of Carl and Shansen.Iluli said: "Well... there are many disappointing places and many surprising places. It is really difficult to define in one sentence. Although I only stayed in that city for three days, it feels like thirty Years. Is this what a human day always looks like?" "We certainly don't have such a thrill every day." "Really? I'm still wondering if it's because of such an intense life that human beings are so short-lived. Especially the behavior of everyone last night is beyond my imagination..." "Smart ghost, isn't it?" Eluli closed her eyes and smiled.Then she opened her eyes and looked back. "Yes, it's the ghosts and ghosts. Regarding the behavior of those ghosts and ghosts, leaving aside the evaluation and only expressing my feelings, it is very refreshing! This is a feeling similar to the sense of speed, and it is really refreshing. And it's comfortable. Well, it's hard for me to describe it in human terms. Is it 'vigorous'? I don't know." "No, we understand your description quite well." I am at ease now.Iluli did not say some negative comments.I was worried that Iluli would think that all human beings look like Baron Hilican.I used to think that human beings are caring, but after being with other non-human races, I always feel that it would be nice if human beings could be better and nobler.I'm pretty much a typical human being myself. Shansen said: "Okay! Go to sleep! Everyone is very, very tired now." Carl leaned against the tree and said: "I don't have anything to do, so let me do the guard work. Go to sleep, everyone! You have wasted three days. If you want to walk faster, you must rest more first." I had a dream, in which there was Jemini and the territory of his hometown, Hetante.Is this a nightmare?
Creak creak!It's the sound of bones stretching. "Ah, when will I be able to sleep in bed again?" I twisted my body while talking to myself.The bone made a sound as if it was about to fall apart. Carl was sitting against the tree, sleeping.Hmph, what a watchman who reassures us!Shansen opened his eyes when he heard me talking to himself, and stood up.He looked at Karl, couldn't help smiling, and woke Karl up.Karl hurriedly said that he fell asleep just now, and he was really sorry, but Shan Sen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. We all stayed up late, of course we will. Please lie down and sleep over there. It doesn't seem very good to travel at night. I think we will rest here all day today." "Time permitting?" "The original plan was to finish the work in one and a half months, but three days were wasted in Reynolds City, so there are only about forty days left. In this way, we have to meet His Majesty the King, go to Earl Xiulizhe's house, and sell us Territory, won't it be enough?" "Forty days, only forty days... Well, Brother Fisher, I heard that it will take a month to enter the palace." "Huh? Is the palace this big?" "No, it took so long to report from the lower officials first. Fortunately, I am the authorized agent of the Hetante territory, and I want to report about the king's dragon. So we should be able to meet His Majesty the King immediately." I interjected: "But, do you have to go to see His Majesty the King? Just tell the officials below that Kasaiplei was defeated, and then pass it on, isn't it?" "It's going to be troublesome. If it's something else, maybe it can be done like this, no, everything else needs to be done like this, but the dragon thing is different. No matter where the dragon goes, it's still the king's dragon. And Cassip Lai is very important to His Majesty the King, and it was His Majesty who sent it directly to the Hetante territory. Because it was sent directly by His Majesty, I must report directly to His Majesty, not to the officials under him." "Oh! What a nuisance. Does that matter?" "It's very important. If His Majesty the King is furious, he might lose his head. Other officials certainly don't want their heads to fall." "Huh? When the head falls to the ground, isn't that the death penalty?" Carl giggled. "Of course it won't be like this. It's just that it can be like this in principle, so don't worry too much. The person in charge of this battle is Lord Hetante, but our Lord has given full authority to Earl Xiulizhe. Therefore, the responsibility for losing the battle It must be on Earl Thuritz." "So, Karl, will you be safe?" "Well, as long as you tell His Majesty: 'Send Kasaiplei to support, the result is still defeated, I am really guilty.', His Majesty the King should forgive tolerantly, and then everything will be fine. Formally, you must do that, and then Record it like that. And I heard that His Majesty the King is very kind, and when his elder brother was abolished, when he succeeded him as the crown prince, more people were very happy because of it." "Oh, that's surprising." Carl looked at me as I took a deep breath, then smiled.But he began to look sad again. "Only forty days... The report of defeat is actually not a big problem. The real big problem is how to raise money. That's what I'm worried about. Even if Mr. Deacon Hamel has great abilities, he won't It is possible to raise money in our territory. So the money matter is our responsibility after all. When we arrive in the capital, we can ask the king’s family or the House of Lords. In short, we must raise money. I brought all the taxation rights of the territory. , when forced to sell it.” Seeing that Carl was so worried, Shan Sen interjected: "Then, we can find a way to shorten the time of the return journey. Since I have not traveled these roads, I can only judge by looking at the map, so I will be a little uneasy when adjusting the plan, but we should be more familiar when we return. ?” "You're right. I see." Carl nodded, and then got inside the blanket, and after that, he was still tossing and turning in the blanket for a long time, and fell asleep after a long time of distress.Shan Sen rummaged through the luggage, took out the geography book, and began to look at the map carefully.And I took out the basket Yusna gave us. There are bread, beer bottles, cheese and fruit in the basket.Well, that girl can say those lovely words.What did she say that her own heart had been taken away by a tramp, and she would think about this tramp for the rest of her life?Hahaha! The huge beer bottle was tightly sealed, it was sealed with wax.As soon as the lid was opened, a lot of foam came out on the spot, probably because it was shaken a lot just now.After I took a sip, I handed it to Shan Sen, and then I started to eat the bread. It is already afternoon.The fallen leaves kept falling, and the sky was clear and clear, and there were still crisp birdsong. When I looked up, there were a few birds sitting on the bare branches of the leaves, looking down at me. I tore some bread crumbs and threw them forward. The birds looked at me suspiciously.I was thinking, 'What kind of expression can make the bird feel at ease? ', but forget it.I can't even understand the expression of the horse, so can the bird understand my expression? Well, I seem to be wrong!Horses don't have the muscles to make expressions.That is, only humans can make 'expressions'. There are also elves that can make expressions.Iluli was lying on her side under the blanket, her chin resting on her arm. She looked at me and the breadcrumbs with a lazy expression that had just woken up.She looked up at the sky.Iluli smiled slightly, and began to whistle. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" Immediately, a little bird on the branch flew down.The little bird began to pick up the crumbs, and soon other birds that had just stopped beside it also flew down to pick up the crumbs.I stretched out my legs, supported my upper body with my arms, and watched the scene.In order not to scare the little bird, I said in a very low voice: "You whistle very well!" Iluli looked at the bird, then at me. "Can I have some bread, too?" I take the bread out of the basket.Iluli was eating bread in a half-lying position under the blanket.It looks very natural.Lie down and eat!If it was Jamie, it would definitely not be like this.But I don't think it's rude either.She's not human, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I felt that way?It is only natural that elves lie in the forest and eat on fallen leaves. "Well, it's better for you to get up and eat." Oh, as expected of Shan Sen.Yi Luli turned her head to look at Shan Sen. "what?" "If you eat it lying down, um, it may not be good for digestion..." "For most organisms, their body posture doesn't have much to do with digestion." In this way, Shan Sen has nothing to say.He smiled faintly, and then went back to his geography book.And I also smiled and continued to look at the birds. Yi Luli stood up from her position.After she patted her hands clean, she began to arrange her hair.Because her hair is very long, it will of course become messy when she sleeps.But Iruri shook her head vigorously back and forth, like a puppy shaking her body.I was startled when I saw it, while Shan Sen watched with his mouth wide open.The little birds also flew away. After shaking her head vigorously like that, Iruri finally gathered her hair back and smoothed it with her hands.But it's really simple.Iluli picked up the leather coat beside her, found a comb, and began to comb her hair. "Well, although I don't often see girls combing their hair, it seems very simple for you!" "How do human girls arrange their hair?" "Well, wash it, brush it, let it dry, then put it up or braid it..." "I'd love to wash my hair, too." "Anyway, it's not like you just shook your body to arrange your hair. I was a little surprised just now." Iluli tilted her head and said: "Ah, yes, human hair is usually tangled, but our hair doesn't tangle, so shake it and it all falls apart." "That must be very convenient." "Well, is it convenient? My hair is not easy to braid. Because the hair is too thin and too dry. So the elves have loose hair like mine. Doesn't it look strange?" "No, it won't." "I'd love to try braids or updos too. But this kind of hair... Would you like to touch it?" Iluli came to me, and then grabbed a lock of hair for me to touch.I touch gently.Eluli asked me: "Is it very thin?" It feels like a silk yarn. "It is very thin. But you seem to have a lot of hair." "Yes, there is so much hair, so much that it can be used to make a bow. The bowstring on my bow is made of my hair. When the elves grow to the length of the bowstring, they use it to make bowstrings , and take your bow with you.” At this moment, Shan Sen said! "Well, can I see your bowstring?" Immediately, Yi Luli took out the compound bow inserted in her bag and showed Shan Sen.I also moved closer to look at the bow.Shan Sen held the bow, flicked the string several times, and then made an admiring expression. "A very nice bow. Although it doesn't match my physique, it's really good." "Physique? Ah, you mean the length of the arm. Would you like to compare the length of the arm with mine?" As soon as Iluli stretched her arms to the sides, her breasts protruded.Shan Sen took a few steps back suddenly, but hit his head against a tree.He rubbed the back of his head and moaned, and then Iruri said in surprise: "Why are you backing away all of a sudden?" Because if two people use this posture to compare the length of each other's arms, they will touch each other's chest.It's no different than a hug.Oops, my face turned red as I watched from the sidelines.Shan Sen managed to regain his composure, and then said: "Ah, this, don't compare. By the way, are you saying that the bowstring is your hair?" Yi Luli kept shaking her head, and then answered very heartily: "It took several times to make it. Look, it's black, right? Other elves also wear bows of the same color as their own hair. So if there is an elf with a bow of a different color from his own hair, just It can be known that there must be some story behind that bow, or something very important to that elf." "Ah, yes, you're quite right." "Huh?...Oh." Ellie shook her head again.Shan Sen seems to have hit hard, and he is still talking nonsense up to now.After Yi Luli took the bow, she still looked at Shan Sen strangely, then she turned and walked back to the place where she put the leather coat.Every time she moves, I have a feeling that her leather pants move really beautifully. ...Would you like to give Jamie a pair of leather pants?But if that girl wore leather pants, what would she look like?Iluli picked up the fur coat and put it on, then began to rummage through her luggage.Before long, she produced a very large, very large book.Even if you tell me it's a shield, I'll believe it!When Shan Sen and I looked at the big book with admiration, Yi Luli had already spread the book and started turning the huge pages.Because the pages of the book are really huge, Iluli turned the pages with her entire palm. "Well, can I have a look?" "Will you watch it?" Shansen and I approached and looked at the book.Well, it's really a new experience!The white part is indeed paper, and the black part is indeed writing, isn't it? Shansen and I looked at each other, and then read the book again.There are strange patterns and patterns on the book, and there are very complicated words and other things written on it, but we really don't know what kind of words those are. "Is this Elvish?" "It's the language of magic, it's runes. It's a language that's practically unpronounceable." "Huh? Can't read it?" After Iluli thought about it carefully, she cleared the fallen leaves around her, exposing the ground.She took a small stone and started writing something on the ground. THM, OEW.what is this? "Can you read it?" I read it word by word with a surprised expression.Immediately, Iluli smiled and said: "I would read it like this: Three Human Men, One Elf Woman, Three Human Men, One Elf Woman." "what!" Both Shan Sen and I nodded. "But aren't the words you wrote that can be pronounced?" "Yes, these words can be pronounced originally, so you can also pronounce 'THM, OEW' one by one. But the runes cannot be pronounced originally, but the runes are also like the words I just wrote. Makes sense. It seems a little strange for me to say that, but that's all I can say." "Oh...then, why do those spells memorized by wizards make sound when they are recited?" "Those are not runes, but 'activation words'. Runes are the language needed when 'remembering spells', and activation words can be used in the language of your own race. Read the spells written in runes to make 'memory spells'." Sometimes, the starters will come naturally. I write 'THM, OEW', and then say 'three human men, one elf woman' as I say it, and it's the same reason." "Is it natural? Then anyone can use magic as long as they can understand the runes..." Sounds so simple. "No, not like that. You also have to understand how magic works." "The way the magic works?" "Take Avnaid as an example. He is a wizard, so he can understand runes. But although I taught the relevant methods and wrote the runes to him correctly, he still couldn't use them on the spot. Those spells of 'summoning wizard followers'. Because he still needs to do some research and practice on the way of magic power activities before he can use this magic. Of course, I have even taught him the essentials of magic power activities, so he should be able to easier to understand." I shake my head. "So... what do wizards teach their disciples? I always thought it was just teaching spells." "Teach them the technique of using magic, how to practice it to improve it, and after you teach the runes, teach them the magic. And teach them the runes they need for each particular magic. It's what you call 'teaching spells' "It's very similar. But learning magic is not the only thing. After teaching the runes, it's time to explain how the magic works. This part is more difficult. If we use swimming as an analogy, learning a certain magic rune , it’s like just getting into the water, but getting the magic to work is like teaching how to actually swim with your hands and feet in the water.” I raised my hands and said. "It's so hard! Shan Sen, is there smoke coming out of my head?" "Well, it's rising in balls!" Shansen's joke made me smile slightly.But Iruri asked with a worried expression: "Hey, what does that mean? What is smoke from the head?" ah?Does this need to be explained? "Ah, that's a joke. Doesn't the kettle smoke when it boils? When our minds are hot, we say it's 'smoke from the head'. So it's just a metaphor .” "But, Xiu Qi, there is no smoke coming from your head!" Shan Sen and I stared blankly at Yi Luli for a while, although we wanted to continue explaining, but when we were about to explain, we both felt that it was really difficult to explain what is wrong with a kettle as a head Reasons to be funny.Why take this as a joke?
The morning sun is rising. At daybreak we dropped the Baron in place outside the city of Reynolds.The Baron has long since lost all courage, and is completely a cripple.Even if he returned to Reynolds City, he would have no property or influence.We encouraged him to ask his friends for help, but the Baron didn't seem to have any friends.It's best to take revenge happily, but seeing him so depressed!We still feel guilty.How come you don't even have a friend?

Can you compare the city of humans and the city of elves?" With her eyes still closed, Iluli said: "Elves don't have cities." "So if you were asked to define human society from the point of view of the elves? I'm actually a little disturbed, and a little ashamed. What kind of evaluation would you give?"

Although I only stayed in that city for three days, it feels like thirty Years. Is this what a human day always looks like?" "We certainly don't have such a thrill every day." "Really? I'm still wondering if it's because of such an intense life that human beings are so short-lived. Especially the behavior of everyone last night is beyond my imagination..." "Smart ghost, isn't it?" Eluli closed her eyes and smiled.Then she opened her eyes and looked back. "Yes, it's the ghosts and ghosts. Regarding the behavior of those ghosts and ghosts, leaving aside the evaluation and only expressing my feelings, it is very refreshing! This is a feeling similar to the sense of speed, and it is really refreshing. And it's comfortable. Well, it's hard for me to describe it in human terms. Is it 'vigorous'? I don't know." "No, we understand your description quite well." I am at ease now.Iluli did not say some negative comments.I was worried that Iluli would think that all human beings look like Baron Hilican.I used to think that human beings are caring, but after being with other non-human races, I always feel that it would be nice if human beings could be better and nobler.I'm pretty much a typical human being myself. Shansen said: "Okay! Go to sleep! Everyone is very, very tired now." Carl leaned against the tree and said: "I don't have anything to do, so let me do the guard work. Go to sleep, everyone! You have wasted three days. If you want to walk faster, you must rest more first." I had a dream, in which there was Jemini and the territory of his hometown, Hetante.Is this a nightmare?
Creak creak!It's the sound of bones stretching. "Ah, when will I be able to sleep in bed again?" I twisted my body while talking to myself.The bone made a sound as if it was about to fall apart. Carl was sitting against the tree, sleeping.Hmph, what a watchman who reassures us!Shansen opened his eyes when he heard me talking to himself, and stood up.He looked at Karl, couldn't help smiling, and woke Karl up.Karl hurriedly said that he fell asleep just now, and he was really sorry, but Shan Sen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. We all stayed up late, of course we will. Please lie down and sleep over there. It doesn't seem very good to travel at night. I think we will rest here all day today." "Time permitting?" "The original plan was to finish the work in one and a half months, but three days were wasted in Reynolds City, so there are only about forty days left. In this way, we have to meet His Majesty the King, go to Earl Xiulizhe's house, and sell us Territory, won't it be enough?" "Forty days, only forty days... Well, Brother Fisher, I heard that it will take a month to enter the palace." "Huh? Is the palace this big?" "No, it took so long to report from the lower officials first. Fortunately, I am the authorized agent of the Hetante territory, and I want to report about the king's dragon. So we should be able to meet His Majesty the King immediately." I interjected: "But, do you have to go to see His Majesty the King? Just tell the officials below that Kasaiplei was defeated, and then pass it on, isn't it?" "It's going to be troublesome. If it's something else, maybe it can be done like this, no, everything else needs to be done like this, but the dragon thing is different. No matter where the dragon goes, it's still the king's dragon. And Cassip Lai is very important to His Majesty the King, and it was His Majesty who sent it directly to the Hetante territory. Because it was sent directly by His Majesty, I must report directly to His Majesty, not to the officials under him." "Oh! What a nuisance. Does that matter?" "It's very important. If His Majesty the King is furious, he might lose his head. Other officials certainly don't want their heads to fall." "Huh? When the head falls to the ground, isn't that the death penalty?" Carl giggled. "Of course it won't be like this. It's just that it can be like this in principle, so don't worry too much. The person in charge of this battle is Lord Hetante, but our Lord has given full authority to Earl Xiulizhe. Therefore, the responsibility for losing the battle It must be on Earl Thuritz." "So, Karl, will you be safe?" "Well, as long as you tell His Majesty: 'Send Kasaiplei to support, the result is still defeated, I am really guilty.', His Majesty the King should forgive tolerantly, and then everything will be fine. Formally, you must do that, and then Record it like that. And I heard that His Majesty the King is very kind, and when his elder brother was abolished, when he succeeded him as the crown prince, more people were very happy because of it." "Oh, that's surprising." Carl looked at me as I took a deep breath, then smiled.But he began to look sad again. "Only forty days... The report of defeat is actually not a big problem. The real big problem is how to raise money. That's what I'm worried about. Even if Mr. Deacon Hamel has great abilities, he won't It is possible to raise money in our territory. So the money matter is our responsibility after all. When we arrive in the capital, we can ask the king’s family or the House of Lords. In short, we must raise money. I brought all the taxation rights of the territory. , when forced to sell it.” Seeing that Carl was so worried, Shan Sen interjected: "Then, we can find a way to shorten the time of the return journey. Since I have not traveled these roads, I can only judge by looking at the map, so I will be a little uneasy when adjusting the plan, but we should be more familiar when we return. ?” "You're right. I see." Carl nodded, and then got inside the blanket, and after that, he was still tossing and turning in the blanket for a long time, and fell asleep after a long time of distress.Shan Sen rummaged through the luggage, took out the geography book, and began to look at the map carefully.And I took out the basket Yusna gave us. There are bread, beer bottles, cheese and fruit in the basket.Well, that girl can say those lovely words.What did she say that her own heart had been taken away by a tramp, and she would think about this tramp for the rest of her life?Hahaha! The huge beer bottle was tightly sealed, it was sealed with wax.As soon as the lid was opened, a lot of foam came out on the spot, probably because it was shaken a lot just now.After I took a sip, I handed it to Shan Sen, and then I started to eat the bread. It is already afternoon.The fallen leaves kept falling, and the sky was clear and clear, and there were still crisp birdsong. When I looked up, there were a few birds sitting on the bare branches of the leaves, looking down at me. I tore some bread crumbs and threw them forward. The birds looked at me suspiciously.I was thinking, 'What kind of expression can make the bird feel at ease? ', but forget it.I can't even understand the expression of the horse, so can the bird understand my expression? Well, I seem to be wrong!Horses don't have the muscles to make expressions.That is, only humans can make 'expressions'. There are also elves that can make expressions.Iluli was lying on her side under the blanket, her chin resting on her arm. She looked at me and the breadcrumbs with a lazy expression that had just woken up.She looked up at the sky.Iluli smiled slightly, and began to whistle. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh-" Immediately, a little bird on the branch flew down.The little bird began to pick up the crumbs, and soon other birds that had just stopped beside it also flew down to pick up the crumbs.I stretched out my legs, supported my upper body with my arms, and watched the scene.In order not to scare the little bird, I said in a very low voice: "You whistle very well!" Iluli looked at the bird, then at me. "Can I have some bread, too?" I take the bread out of the basket.Iluli was eating bread in a half-lying position under the blanket.It looks very natural.Lie down and eat!If it was Jamie, it would definitely not be like this.But I don't think it's rude either.She's not human, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I felt that way?It is only natural that elves lie in the forest and eat on fallen leaves. "Well, it's better for you to get up and eat." Oh, as expected of Shan Sen.Yi Luli turned her head to look at Shan Sen. "what?" "If you eat it lying down, um, it may not be good for digestion..." "For most organisms, their body posture doesn't have much to do with digestion." In this way, Shan Sen has nothing to say.He smiled faintly, and then went back to his geography book.And I also smiled and continued to look at the birds. Yi Luli stood up from her position.After she patted her hands clean, she began to arrange her hair.Because her hair is very long, it will of course become messy when she sleeps.But Iruri shook her head vigorously back and forth, like a puppy shaking her body.I was startled when I saw it, while Shan Sen watched with his mouth wide open.The little birds also flew away. After shaking her head vigorously like that, Iruri finally gathered her hair back and smoothed it with her hands.But it's really simple.Iluli picked up the leather coat beside her, found a comb, and began to comb her hair. "Well, although I don't often see girls combing their hair, it seems very simple for you!" "How do human girls arrange their hair?" "Well, wash it, brush it, let it dry, then put it up or braid it..." "I'd love to wash my hair, too." "Anyway, it's not like you just shook your body to arrange your hair. I was a little surprised just now." Iluli tilted her head and said: "Ah, yes, human hair is usually tangled, but our hair doesn't tangle, so shake it and it all falls apart." "That must be very convenient." "Well, is it convenient? My hair is not easy to braid. Because the hair is too thin and too dry. So the elves have loose hair like mine. Doesn't it look strange?" "No, it won't." "I'd love to try braids or updos too. But this kind of hair... Would you like to touch it?" Iluli came to me, and then grabbed a lock of hair for me to touch.I touch gently.Eluli asked me: "Is it very thin?" It feels like a silk yarn. "It is very thin. But you seem to have a lot of hair." "Yes, there is so much hair, so much that it can be used to make a bow. The bowstring on my bow is made of my hair. When the elves grow to the length of the bowstring, they use it to make bowstrings , and take your bow with you.” At this moment, Shan Sen said! "Well, can I see your bowstring?" Immediately, Yi Luli took out the compound bow inserted in her bag and showed Shan Sen.I also moved closer to look at the bow.Shan Sen held the bow, flicked the string several times, and then made an admiring expression. "A very nice bow. Although it doesn't match my physique, it's really good." "Physique? Ah, you mean the length of the arm. Would you like to compare the length of the arm with mine?" As soon as Iluli stretched her arms to the sides, her breasts protruded.Shan Sen took a few steps back suddenly, but hit his head against a tree.He rubbed the back of his head and moaned, and then Iruri said in surprise: "Why are you backing away all of a sudden?" Because if two people use this posture to compare the length of each other's arms, they will touch each other's chest.It's no different than a hug.Oops, my face turned red as I watched from the sidelines.Shan Sen managed to regain his composure, and then said: "Ah, this, don't compare. By the way, are you saying that the bowstring is your hair?" Yi Luli kept shaking her head, and then answered very heartily: "It took several times to make it. Look, it's black, right? Other elves also wear bows of the same color as their own hair. So if there is an elf with a bow of a different color from his own hair, just It can be known that there must be some story behind that bow, or something very important to that elf." "Ah, yes, you're quite right." "Huh?...Oh." Ellie shook her head again.Shan Sen seems to have hit hard, and he is still talking nonsense up to now.After Yi Luli took the bow, she still looked at Shan Sen strangely, then she turned and walked back to the place where she put the leather coat.Every time she moves, I have a feeling that her leather pants move really beautifully. ...Would you like to give Jamie a pair of leather pants?But if that girl wore leather pants, what would she look like?Iluli picked up the fur coat and put it on, then began to rummage through her luggage.Before long, she produced a very large, very large book.Even if you tell me it's a shield, I'll believe it!When Shan Sen and I looked at the big book with admiration, Yi Luli had already spread the book and started turning the huge pages.Because the pages of the book are really huge, Iluli turned the pages with her entire palm. "Well, can I have a look?" "Will you watch it?" Shansen and I approached and looked at the book.Well, it's really a new experience!The white part is indeed paper, and the black part is indeed writing, isn't it? Shansen and I looked at each other, and then read the book again.There are strange patterns and patterns on the book, and there are very complicated words and other things written on it, but we really don't know what kind of words those are. "Is this Elvish?" "It's the language of magic, it's runes. It's a language that's practically unpronounceable." "Huh? Can't read it?" After Iluli thought about it carefully, she cleared the fallen leaves around her, exposing the ground.She took a small stone and started writing something on the ground. THM, OEW.what is this? "Can you read it?" I read it word by word with a surprised expression.Immediately, Iluli smiled and said: "I would read it like this: Three Human Men, One Elf Woman, Three Human Men, One Elf Woman." "what!" Both Shan Sen and I nodded. "But aren't the words you wrote that can be pronounced?" "Yes, these words can be pronounced originally, so you can also pronounce 'THM, OEW' one by one. But the runes cannot be pronounced originally, but the runes are also like the words I just wrote. Makes sense. It seems a little strange for me to say that, but that's all I can say." "Oh...then, why do those spells memorized by wizards make sound when they are recited?" "Those are not runes, but 'activation words'. Runes are the language needed when 'remembering spells', and activation words can be used in the language of your own race. Read the spells written in runes to make 'memory spells'." Sometimes, the starters will come naturally. I write 'THM, OEW', and then say 'three human men, one elf woman' as I say it, and it's the same reason." "Is it natural? Then anyone can use magic as long as they can understand the runes..." Sounds so simple. "No, not like that. You also have to understand how magic works." "The way the magic works?" "Take Avnaid as an example. He is a wizard, so he can understand runes. But although I taught the relevant methods and wrote the runes to him correctly, he still couldn't use them on the spot. Those spells of 'summoning wizard followers'. Because he still needs to do some research and practice on the way of magic power activities before he can use this magic. Of course, I have even taught him the essentials of magic power activities, so he should be able to easier to understand." I shake my head. "So... what do wizards teach their disciples? I always thought it was just teaching spells." "Teach them the technique of using magic, how to practice it to improve it, and after you teach the runes, teach them the magic. And teach them the runes they need for each particular magic. It's what you call 'teaching spells' "It's very similar. But learning magic is not the only thing. After teaching the runes, it's time to explain how the magic works. This part is more difficult. If we use swimming as an analogy, learning a certain magic rune , it’s like just getting into the water, but getting the magic to work is like teaching how to actually swim with your hands and feet in the water.” I raised my hands and said. "It's so hard! Shan Sen, is there smoke coming out of my head?" "Well, it's rising in balls!" Shansen's joke made me smile slightly.But Iruri asked with a worried expression: "Hey, what does that mean? What is smoke from the head?" ah?Does this need to be explained? "Ah, that's a joke. Doesn't the kettle smoke when it boils? When our minds are hot, we say it's 'smoke from the head'. So it's just a metaphor .” "But, Xiu Qi, there is no smoke coming from your head!" Shan Sen and I stared blankly at Yi Luli for a while, although we wanted to continue explaining, but when we were about to explain, we both felt that it was really difficult to explain what is wrong with a kettle as a head Reasons to be funny.Why take this as a joke?
