After flipping through these pages, Rody remembered that he was still holding Ducal's notebook, so he was going to look for other clues, but just as he stretched out his hand, he saw in the distance that Brody ended the conversation and walked hobbled. come over.
His wooden stick was cut off by Kevin during the battle today, so it was a bit difficult to walk. However, the old elf didn't intend to let anyone help him. When he came to Rody, he stretched out his hand to signal while walking and talking:
"We understand why this kind of thing happened in the village. In fact, we have often encountered some human beings in these years, but there has never been such a big conflict." He sighed, somewhat dispirited. , said: "I have always told them that human beings are shameless, greedy, and ugly, just to allow them to avoid such conflicts, but until today, I discovered that hiding, after all, cannot be avoided
Roddy didn't speak. As a human being, he knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time. But for Brody's emotion, he actually probably understood what was going on in his heart.
The "Wood Elves" are descendants of the "High Elves", but it is obvious that the environments in which the two groups live are quite different.
Back then, the "High Elves" had the highest level of civilization on the mainland, and they were the benchmark that all ethnic groups looked up to. Compared with the current "wood elves", there is simply a gap between primitive people and modern people. Although there is still a bit of high elves' cultural heritage handed down in the tribe, the essence has long been lost.
Living in an era where you can easily know the world's major events by just swiping Weibo, Luo Di naturally knows the meaning of the phrase "If you fall behind, you will be beaten". But the wood elves don't have this kind of awareness at all. Not only them, the Karen Kingdom, the Orc Kingdom and the Tasman Undead combined, in fact, few people can clearly understand this point.
Wood elves were few in number, and their population reproduction rate was not as fast as that of humans, and they were scattered in the jungle and isolated from the world. They just vaguely knew the concept of "there are a group of very ferocious humans outside the forest", but they didn't understand it at all. This situation is similar to that of the Qing Dynasty, but the wood elves are not so arrogant as to think that they are the best in the world, but have a tortoise mentality, only want to manage carefully and avoid conflicts, but they don't know the truth of "the crime of cherishing jade" , so that when tragedy strikes, there is no room for resistance.
"Thank you too much and it's worthless. The elves in Elsa Village know who saved us, so... If there is anything we can help, Roddy, you can just ask."
The old elf speaks straightforwardly, without even a word of nonsense, which is too neat compared to the winding style of the nobles.
Rody originally wanted to tell his plans directly, but he changed his mind when he heard the faint cries of the elves who had lost their loved ones in the wind, and whispered: "You have also seen the purpose of my coming here, It is mainly related to the Snake King Sakya. Now that the purpose is completed, there is no need for help.”
Brody didn't speak, the wood elves don't know hypocritical politeness, if you want it, you want it, if you don't, you don't want it, there is no habit of asking twice.
Rody had expected this, and he unhurriedly brought up the next topic: "By the way, there is something I want to tell you. After all, it has something to do with the high elves."
Hearing the word "High Elf", Brody paused, nodded and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back to the village."
Although the tone was non-negotiable, he was obviously interested in this topic. Rody didn't talk nonsense. After returning to Elsa Village, he followed Brody directly to his tree hole. He didn't see Nata and Akasha along the way. Presumably Nata should take care of Akasha to rest.
After entering the tree hole, Brody put something like a lantern on the wooden table. Looking at the fireflies in the "lantern" for lighting, Brody somewhat missed the time when he practiced here. .
The old elf closed the wooden door and said solemnly, "Let's talk now."
"If I'm not mistaken, what the village chief should do next is to restore the village's strength as much as possible?"
"I have nothing to hide, there is no other way to go in Elsa Village now."
Brody admitted generously, but he was also full of helplessness, "Those previous thoughts have been proven wrong by reality. Now I can only explore new routes. I can't just watch the tragedy happen again."
Rody didn't expect that he would be less stubborn than he imagined when he was flexible. After thinking about it, he was also. If Brody remained steadfast, the prosperous "Silent Whispering Forest Transit Station" would not be in his memory.
So he thought about his wording, combined with the customs and tasks he had learned in Elsa Village, and said: "The village needs a lot of things now, but there are some things that Elsa Village needs to know about... Snake King Sa After Jia died, the Wagra ruins should not be a 'forbidden place' for you, right?"
After saying this, Brody slapped his head violently, and said in surprise: "I forgot about the Wagra ruins... There should be a lot of precious things left there..."
As soon as he said this, the old elf obviously couldn't sit still, and obviously wanted to send someone to investigate and protect the ruins immediately, muttering words like "long nights and many dreams".
Rody breathed a sigh of relief, and felt relieved: Brody's reaction has proved his "gamble" right.
Although the civilization of the high elves was destroyed by the orcs seven hundred years ago, if one goes back, the kingdom of the high elves has existed on this continent for more than two thousand years
In such a long history, the high elves have given birth to a brilliant civilization that humans have never been able to match, the most important of which is the inheritance of "arcane" research.
The "arcane" of that era was basically an "atomic bomb" at that time - powerful, deterring all other races who were spying on the High Elf Kingdom at any time. It’s just that the final destruction of the high elves seems to be due to “arcana”. The specific reason has not been determined in history, but it is generally said that the arcane art of the high elves has lost its original effectiveness, causing the entire country to completely lose its power due to its over-reliance on “arcana”. Defensive capabilities will eventually destroy the country.
But today's human research on "arcane" proves that this statement is completely untenable. We can know from the "Arcane Explosion" that killed Sakya... The power of "Arcane" is still so powerful-the wood elves naturally understand the truth of "the one who is near the water first gets the moon", so they desperately search for the remains of the high elves , and continue to dig out those old "arcane" classics...
After all, who doesn't want to have powerful force? Who wants to do everything based on other people's faces
This is the Wood Elf's strategy in Rody's memory, and now it seems that Brody already has such a plan in mind.
"There are many things in the ruins, mainly because there is a secret room inside, which should store a lot of classics about 'arcane'."
Rody said this information casually, and gave it to the other party as a favor. After all, the ruins lost their guardians, and it would be a waste if those things continued to be eroded by time—more importantly, he actually hoped in his heart that the elves could Get the things in the ruins and leave as soon as possible, so that Princess Ave can sleep peacefully...
This may be one of the few sentimental thoughts in his mind.
Not surprisingly, Brody's eyes almost lit up when he heard the information about those classics, and he immediately called Lando to send a team to guard the ruins, waiting for detailed exploration tomorrow.
But Rody didn't take advantage of the situation to make a request for "open trade", he still endured it, got up and left.
Leaving Brody, who was still excited, Rody, who left the tree hole, walked along the rough road in Elsa Village in the dark. In my memory, these tree hole buildings in Elsa Village were almost all Disappeared, except for the tree holes of a few elves such as Nata and Brody, other big trees have been cut down, replaced by regular wooden houses and streets, and even divided into trade areas, mercenary unions, and wood elves. Residential areas, tavern areas, etc., are also much larger than they are now.
"Things are right and people are wrong."
He sighed a few words, his mood relaxed, he tapped the handle of the knife with his fingers, and hummed a song casually. Occasionally, wood elves passed by, looking at Rody with deep awe, some dared to say hello, but most of them didn't even dare to approach.
After all, stopping the beast tide is one thing, but slaughtering the entire mercenary group by one person is another. The elves who witnessed those scenes were already frightened by Roddy's bloody and cruel fighting style. Faintly regarded Rody as a "big devil". Seeing Rody smiling at them, he immediately hid in the tree hole with a strange cry...
Really, I won't eat you again.
Luo Di was also helpless, turned his head to look, found a tree hole and knocked, and saw that it was Nata who opened the door, so he confirmed that he was right, and said, "If it's convenient, I'll come and see Akasha's door." injury."
The wooden door was opened, indicating that Roddy could come in. He turned over and entered, and after he stood still, the light fragrance that hit his face made Rody feel a little dazed...Under the faint fluorescent light, Nata's room was no different from the one in 594 in his memory, with a simple bed, Tables and chairs, short bows hanging on the wooden walls, and her familiar smell—it seemed that after traveling here, only the room in front of him felt the same as before.
It was already very cold in the forest in late October. Nata had changed into a poor-looking but warm animal skin clothing at this time, and her hair was wet, which must have just been washed. She looked at Rody, and seemed to be a little puzzled about how the other party found this place, but then she was relieved, after all, everyone knows such a question.
Naturally, she wouldn't understand that Rody had a deep impression of this tree hole when he went on missions.
"Thank you."
Rody thanked Nata first, and then looked at Akasha who was lying on the bed—this high-level "nurse" had already passed out due to exhaustion, and did not notice his arrival at all.
It's just that Rody glanced at her blood volume panel, only to find that Akasha's health was a little lower, so he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Did she not eat?"
"have eaten."
Nata answered mechanically, as if she refused to say a word.
Luo Di couldn't figure it out for a long time, but Nata suddenly added: "A lot of wounds suddenly appeared on her back just now. Although she was healed with magic later, she still bled a lot."
Hearing this, Rody suddenly realized, his eyes stayed on the icon of "Whiplashing" for a moment, and he saw that the healing effect of "Divine Magic Attenuation" increased from 75 to 8 I suddenly thought of another thing - in addition to the strong ability of "brewing", the wood elves have a bonus in the talent of "herb collection". help
The next major difficulty for me is to get Magda, and if I have a suitable "pharmacist" who can make a few medicines I need before February, the chances of winning will definitely double.
