As the dinner approached evening, Xiang En took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sauce from Andrea's mouth, and then started today's theme.
Bang bang!
He clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "In addition to solving the house problem today, I actually have one more thing I want to tell you."
York and Mira, who were sitting on the left and right sides of the long table, had expressions on their faces that collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. They suddenly looked like frightened little animals, and the French fries in their hands were shaken off like chaff. .
The face of each elf turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he quickly prayed in his heart, praying that there would be no work again.
No one has ever used a mage in this way. It is used to repair houses and pave roads. It consumes a lot of magic power. It is not cost-effective to directly use large-scale spells and require the assistance of magic materials.
If Xiang En hadn't recovered his magic, even if one person and one elf were given a year, they might not be able to complete the half-month's work.
The two of them have been building houses and repairing toilets in the manor every day for half a month. They are really tired. They should rest for at least three days before assigning new tasks
Fortunately, what Xiang En wants to talk about is not work.
"What do you think about trolls?"
Speaking of trolls, the French fries in Bourne's hand also fell on the table with a clatter. The tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes reflected the firelight just like the grease at the corners of his mouth.
Why! I'm almost used to it, why do I have to think about it
"Ouch!" Bourne didn't dare to vent to Xiang En, so he could only lie on the table and sob softly.
Hogan, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and reached out to pat his shoulder without saying anything.
"Ahem..." After being interrupted like this, Xiang En didn't bother to ask other people what they thought, and said directly: "I plan to let the trolls move to the newly built walls of the manor to alleviate the dilemma of lack of labor."
After speaking, he looked at everyone present, waiting to see who would speak.
But to his surprise, no one spoke. After hearing what happened, they just continued eating French fries, like a group of fat nerds who didn't care about the facts.
This made Xiang En feel a little embarrassed. He caught a glimpse of a pair of sneaky hands from the corner of his eye. He squeezed them and relieved his embarrassment. "Don't eat too much greasy food during pregnancy."
People's response to the relocation of the trolls was mediocre, and they looked like they didn't care at all. Maybe it's because they have been used to it after working with trolls for so long
Some time later, York and Mira were dragged to repair sewers again, and another public toilet was built in the troll's residential area. This time it was not divided into men and women. The trolls didn't care about gender anyway.
Those trolls who had never lived in human territory also came to live in taller walls under the leadership of their leaders.
The stone wall gave the vulnerable groups of trolls a deep sense of security, but they felt weak at the thought of humans being around them.
Those female trolls will also keep an eye on the little trolls who are not old enough to enter human territory, otherwise they will be eaten.
The image of human beings gradually became fuller and more terrifying in the minds of the little trolls.
The relocation only took three days. The trolls had their own huts, and Xiang En would not spend a lot of effort to help them build a house.
Half of the outer wall was still built, and the trolls were still working hard to build the wall and loosen the soil in preparation for growing food.
Xiang En planned to grow some seasoning spices for the trolls, leaving only a small amount inside the manor, and the remaining space was used to grow staple food, to firmly control the food so that the trolls would not lose control.
He is an insecure person. If he doesn't do this, he won't feel comfortable letting the troll live next to him. If the troll gets out of control, he will be in trouble.
Therefore, Xiang En wants to take care of the trolls, control their food sources, occasionally give small favors, and add a little subtle guidance to achieve a higher level of consciousness control than physical control.
With the IQ of the trolls, there is a high probability that they will not be able to detect his little moves. Even if they are discovered, the smart trolls have nothing to do. After all, they cannot defeat him and have to rely on him, so they can only lie down.
However, Darusa and the others had determined from the beginning that they would rely on semi-submissive humans in exchange for the right to survive.
They will no longer have any bad thoughts towards humans, and are even thinking of ways to please humans.
Just like today...
Darusa brought Auda and a female troll into the manor, not for work, but to close the relationship between the two parties.
The female troll was holding a baby with light green skin wrapped in animal skin.
The baby's eyes have been opened, and a pair of dark golden eyes unique to trolls are looking at the world curiously. It is neither noisy nor fussy, has a plump body, and looks a bit cute.
When Xiang En saw Darusa letting a female troll bring a baby, there was still a strange look on his face, especially when he saw that the baby only had the skin color of a young troll, He looks like a pure human child, but his expression is even weirder.
"This is the offspring of the union between humans and us trolls. Auda cultivated the embryo. Now I hand him back to you as a witness to the friendship between humans and trolls!"
Darusa looked moved, and personally handed the life born from the union of green-skinned trolls and humans into Xiang En's hands.
In order to show his sincerity, he even said these words in human language, and he also said it so loudly that the entire manor heard it.
When these people who were working or had nothing to do heard about this kind of thing, they all dropped their work and ran to Xiang En to watch the fun.
"Ah! My goddess, this... is this the child of humans and trolls?"
"Male or female?"
"Why are the skin colors different?"
"Didn't you hear that this is a child under the influence of witchcraft?"
"Get out of the way! Let me take a look!" Sharon pushed aside a group of old men and came to Xiang En's side to see the baby wrapped in animal skin.
Bright eyes and white teeth, except for the greenish skin, she is really exquisite!
After seeing the baby, she felt a little motherly in her heart, and cautiously stretched out her hand to tease the baby.
The baby squealed so loudly that Sharon's heart melted.
Andrea also wanted to come over and take a look, but after so many days, her belly had swelled a bit, and several big men were also crowded there, so she waited aside for Xiang Enfeng to bring it to her to see. .
Not long after, Xiang En walked up to her with the troll baby and asked her to see the baby in swaddling clothes.
Looking at the young life, Andrea's whole body became soft. After teasing it with her hand, she touched her belly again with a sweet smile on her face.
"No! Let me go, I don't want to see it! Let me go! Ooooh! Why are you doing this..."
Suddenly, a burst of crying reached everyone's ears.
They looked towards the direction from which the sound came, and saw Bourne being carried by Marky and Duncan with evil smiles on their faces.
At this time, Bourne was kicking his legs desperately, tilting his head back, and throwing his body around, trying to escape from the state of being a man, not wanting to face reality.
Tomorrow is Tomb Sweeping Day and we have to go up the mountain to worship our ancestors. The weather in Guangdong...
You need to wear a down jacket at home, you need to change into short sleeves when you go out, you want to take off your clothes when you climb up, and you have to put on down again when you get back home after being sweaty outside.
It's hot outside and freezing inside, and my feet are still freezing even after covering myself with a quilt at night.
I didn't do anything today, and my head feels dizzy, like a cold, but not like it.
There are some typos in these two chapters. I will correct them tomorrow. I will see how my body is and how tired I will be tomorrow before I decide whether to update...
