Chapter 125 Lilia's 'child'?
Valentine, Ted plans to wait for the movement in the refugee camp, and then drive to deal with the Sun God, but now
You can go to the small woods outside the city and discuss "cooperation matters" with this group of 'tree people'.

Such a precious natural resource will be worth several times more than gold when it is exhausted.

If we can reach an agreement with these creatures that can synthesize natural resources at the beginning, and get acquainted with them first, we can seize the 'market' first.

Since they like cow farts so much, why not use cow farts and factory carbon dioxide as bargaining chips!

Slowly cultivate feelings through long-term interest binding, so that everyone becomes an ally~
According to rough calculations, they will absorb these greenhouse gases into their bodies, collect some carbon, and then excrete the excess carbon in other forms.

The recovery rate is very impressive. At present, it is more than 60%. If the technology is improved in the future, 75% is not impossible~
As for the 20.00% that has not been collected [-]. There are other trees in the world, wouldn’t it be enough to let them fix the carbon?
Judging from the current situation, the carbon dioxide and methane in this world are not enough to eat. Instead, we should emit more to provide food for the blue-green algae and trees in this world!

Thinking of this, Ted stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, and sat on his SUV to make a calculation.
"How do I feel that since I came to this world, I have been carrying out actions around 'food'. Whether it's for humans or moon elves, even those I met later, it is almost always a matter of food and supplies."

After all, this world belongs to 'ancient times'. It has not gone through the industrial revolution, and does not know how to combine technology and magic. The productivity is too low!

Or it is a superior attitude, unwilling to touch things other than magic!
Just like the group of elves, it would be useless if they abandoned 'non-magic' earlier! 'Argument
Now they are the "three-body people" from Cygnus, and they have already taken the fleet to other planets to bully men and women!There's no need to stay on Planet Seablue and guard the magic to fight the civil war.

For human beings, scientific exploration and development are basically things that will be done after they are 'full'.

Most of the ancient scientists and writers were aristocrats, or from prominent families, or at least rich people, not commoners.

Even a citizen scientist or two is not enough to prove anything.

The real civilian scientists mostly emerged from the late period of the Industrial Revolution.

Because of the increase in productivity and the popularization of scientific production methods, a large number of cheap goods have been created, so that the people do not have to work hard every day!time to read and study
In this way, science and technology will develop benignly!
Somehow, Ted seemed to know what he should do next!
That is to use the name of the Sun God to put all these nearly 2 million refugees into animal husbandry. After the power becomes stronger, first unify the Xueman Empire, and then go to save the suffering Moon Elves!
As for why the refugees should all be invested in animal husbandry?

Because vegan food is enough!The plains in the Tomato Barony alone, together with the greenhouses in the north, are enough to feed the creatures of the entire continent, so there is no need to continue to struggle with vegetables
In modern wars and ancient wars, in the final analysis, the struggle is logistics. In most cases, small-scale raids are not enough to control the battle situation. It is often the kind of large-scale battle that determines the life and death of the country.

After all, things like "showing the audience and being pierced by a wave" have happened from ancient times to the present.

Compared with the frontal battlefield, the results of victory in small-scale battles are insignificant. Because of supply and logistics reasons, such miracles hardly exist.

Things like going deep into the hinterland and achieving victory can only be achieved under the condition that the enemy's commander is a pig.

Evenly matched battles will not have these miracles. It is better to be down-to-earth and improve yourself from hardware conditions instead of crooked ways.

There are many tactics in front of us, but they are not as real as strong logistics and abundant supplies. Mountains of shells and supplies are the best conditions for victory.

Back in the day, if Captain Li had enough supplies, he could directly push them to his hometown
A "Human Emperor" once said a word, that is, "If you learn brother's operation, A will win if you go up!" '

As long as the rear is properly operated, even if the frontline commander is stupid, it will not affect the overall battle situation.

At that time, eating sugar-colored sweet-and-sour pork, driving tanks, bombarding the enemy's positions for three days and three nights before attacking, even if the soldiers are fools, it will not be a problem to win the battle.

Only by preparing for the worst can we prevent problems before they happen.

Even if Muller is very smart, from the perspective of the macro battle situation, Ted has to treat him as a fool.

When all the conditions are against you, you can still win!This is what Ted wants~
One word 'stable'!
And a large amount of meat produced by animal husbandry was supplied to the front line through trucks, allowing the soldiers who ate meat to fight against the troops who ate bread.

As long as it is on the frontal battlefield, the stamina and explosive power of the meat-eating soldiers will definitely be stronger than the group of vegetarians!Not to mention that Ted's troops are all firearms.
Also, have tons of meat!Ted can also use this to awaken more dragons to provide a stable guarantee for the rear~
And when everything is ready, it will be easy to rescue the moon elves~
According to Alice's description, there are three empires on the other side of the continent.

Since the war 8000 years ago, it has been unified into one country, but the problem is that the two races that make up the country have been fighting since tens of thousands of years ago, and each has its own outcome.

They stopped for 700 years after the last war.

But according to their historical records, they will be strangled again because of racial issues in the last 200 years.
The moon elves won last time, but this time, the high elves are going to win. Although the war hasn't started yet, the result is already doomed.

Smart Alice, since she left the Elf Empire, she and her clansmen began to think about the reasons as an outsider
Coupled with the support of a large number of books provided by Ted, these moon elves have considered for a full two months before roughly restoring the specific reasons.

It is estimated that the ruling classes of both sides deliberately stimulated civil conflicts to reduce the population. Apart from this, they cannot think of any other reasons.
But these are just everyone's guesses. Before Ted has enough strength, he can't think about what happened on the other side of the mountain for the time being.

The mountain range in the middle alone is a big problem. It is too troublesome to dig a tunnel. The thickness and complexity of this mountain range are 5 times that of the Himalayas!Pangolins have to get lost!
Except for some naturally formed caves, there are few connected roads.

The only sure way to reach the other side is to build a powerful sea fleet, land quietly, build an airport, and send soldiers and supplies to the other side continuously by sea and air.
But these, according to the current situation, are not realistic.

Ted now only has six planes in total, which are not enough for normal tasks, let alone airdropping troops to use mud as a shit stick
Besides, if a group of humans go there, they might be targeted by the people of the Elven Empire.

Judging from the comparison of historical events, it is generally because of resource shortages or social class conflicts that cannot be reconciled that the scapegoat will be blamed on race.

If Ted came to the other side with a large number of 'non-elven' races, it is estimated that they would collectively start targeting him.
Because the elves are a matriarchal society, on the human side, the status of women is the same as that of men over there.

They will not indulge a bunch of 'smelly' men who shit on their own heads, and will definitely fight back with all their strength to maintain the authority of the matriarchal society.

But Ted didn't intend to do that, because each race has a specific culture, and because of this, the elves will maintain this mystery.
At first, Ted didn't believe in evil, he thought the matriarchal society was a joke
But in the process of interacting with Alice, he gradually discovered that Alice was shy, and she was just shy, but if Ted himself became a "suffer" when no one was around?

Like shy boys in humans, elves also have shy girls, but shyness is not enough to change things in the bones
In Alice's heart, even though she was shy, she still thought she was superior to Ted, and she had to take care of him because she was a woman
Ever since, the 'all-rounder' Alice has taken care of everything except that she can't feed herself.
It seems that Ted is a disabled person who can't take care of himself and can't even wear clothes.
Especially under the influence of Lilia recently, she seems to be becoming more and more domineering. She even took the initiative to grab Ted's hand, and even lifted Ted's chin to ask the man for a kiss!

In Ted's eyes, this was intolerable, but after thinking about it, it was not unacceptable!
In a matrilineal society, men are scarce, and as long as they get married, they can lie down and wait to die. Why not do it?

It is precisely because Alice has such traditional concepts that Ted's family lives very comfortably~
Mia will help Ted with some livelihood matters, Alice will manage the whole family, and Lilia and Ted will be taken care of by Alice!

"Hurry up and work hard! When the fairies come, the weathervane of society will change~ I'm a little envious of how the men look after that. It's actually pretty good when the men lie flat. Every day, they eat at home and wait to die, and there's still money to spend! That's it! Wouldn't your life be happy?"

At this moment, the off-road vehicle stopped, followed by several trucks of cow fart
All of them are bags just replaced by the farm. They are fresh enough and have a certain vanilla smell. This is simply the favorite of tree people!
If carbon dioxide is their staple food, then the methane and ammonia in cow farts. For them, it is a rich three-layer ice cream fruitcake!It is a rare delicacy!

In order to make these "delicious" to a higher level, Ted also ordered the staff to specially add a small amount of sulfur dioxide to the "bull fart" to enhance the umami taste!

According to the introduction in the system, for human beings, the smell of rotten eggs is fatal, but for these treants, it is the monosodium glutamate in food, adding a little can make the taste more delicious!

After all the car engines stopped, Ted picked up a bag of cow farts and went to a tree
"That... big tree old iron, are you there?"

In the interest of friendly cooperation, Ted intends to preconceive.

Judging from the cautious behavior of these big trees before, they didn't intend to find fault. Even when they came out to steal cow fart, they were very careful!
"You don't have to ignore me."

Ted stood there for more than 20 seconds, but the tree still didn't respond.

Just when he was about to give up and go back to the city, he turned around and found a few little tree men. With their own advantages, they bypassed the guards' eyes, moved step by step, and came to the back of the car. They picked up a bag of cow farts, Insert the tube into the mouth.
"call"

Another gust of wind was sucked in, and it wasn't until the hiccup sounded that the others noticed that there was a treant slipping behind.
At this time, the big tree standing in the front couldn't hold back any longer, and with what he thought was the lightest footsteps, he ran to the side of the little tree man who was stealing food, picked them up and walked back .

"Hey! You're already up, why can't you talk to us?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone felt that the ground began to tremble. Accompanied by a few loud noises and shaking, several waves of birds in the center of the forest quickly flew into the distance.

Suddenly, Lilia, who was sleeping, felt a vibration from outside the city, and a familiar feeling hit her
"Could it be."

It's just that too much time has passed, and Lilia only remembers this incident. As for the specific situation, she can't figure it out.
"Forget it, fly over and have a look."

Five minutes later, the noise from the forest became louder and louder. When everyone saw what was coming, they all held their breath and dared not speak. On the contrary, Ted didn't feel any fear at all. He was very calm!
A big tree about 60 meters high is slowly moving towards this side. Regardless of whether the tree is hostile or not, such a big tree is a threat!Even a giant dragon has to stay small in the city!

For the sake of Ted's safety, Chris immediately asked the correspondent to send a report to the military department.

However, these were all stopped by Ted.

After getting along with wives for a period of time, he, an inconspicuous human being, can also feel the breath from wives
For example, now, he can definitely feel Lilia's existence, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

Only in the 20th second when this feeling appeared, Lilia fell to the ground in her real body with a bang, causing a slight earthquake and causing everyone present to almost fall down.

Lilia's gigantic form also has a disadvantage, that is, she can't see anything
"Forget it. Let's make it smaller!"

Until the size became more than 100 meters, he saw a big tree about 60 meters high in front of him!
"Ah, this tree looks familiar, doesn't it?"

This big tree that is heading to the edge of the forest always has a very familiar feeling, the radiated energy is exactly the same as that in his own nose.
This breath also reminded her of the scene 1 years ago.

At that time, I was hungry and had no food to eat, so I came to the monster forest to find that hapless spider to fill my stomach.

At the same time, my nose was a little blocked, so I randomly dug a large pile of boogers and bombed them in the tree hole, pretending not to throw "dirty things" around.
And this is the secret to the prosperity of the Monster Forest~
From then on, as long as Lilia was hungry, she would come to the monster forest to look for food, and this was the case for a long time.

And after having a full meal, you have to play a bunch of noses at the same place.
It was also nourished by the giant dragon Bixiang that the tree grew a brain, and its roots gradually turned into four thick legs.

After ten thousand years of growth, this tree has changed from an ordinary small tree to an ancient giant tree!
"Duang!" The big tree stopped, and the breath of life inadvertently began to nourish the humanoid creatures beside it.
This sense of simplicity and vicissitudes from thousands of years ago is like a golden mask unearthed in the Sanxingdui, as if feeling the nourishment from history, and being able to talk to the world 1 years ago.

After a long time, the big tree opened its eyes. When facing the 'mother', it dragged its bulky body, knelt down on one knee, and shouted in a dull voice.
"Mother."

Such a move made Tedmont circle?

Could it be?Lilia was married?Or did he once have a love story with a big tree outside?
"wrong."

Ted quickly dispelled this unreliable idea, the big tree in front of him is androgynous!How could it be Lilia's child?
But a few months ago, Rafael gave Ted a hint.

That is the booger of the giant dragon, which has the effect of nourishing and awakening the plants, and at the same time, it can also open up the spiritual wisdom of the plants!
His booger can directly rejuvenate a forest that has lost its vitality!

If Lilia fed nearly ten thousand years of booger to a tree at the same time, it would explain everything that happened now!

"You are. I remembered! You are that little tree!"

"it is me!"

"I didn't expect you to grow so big. I remember the last time I saw you, it was only less than 30 meters away."

After a short greeting, Lilia became smaller and came to Ted's side.

"Honey, this big tree is mine." Lilia didn't know what to say when she said this
It's not right to say it's a son, it's not right to say it's a daughter
Fortunately, Ted's brain turned a little faster. He pinched Lilia's face and smiled: "It's your child, fed with the 'Heart of the Green Forest'!?"

"Correct!"

In order not to embarrass everyone, the excrement of the dragons has a unique name.

For example, 'Dragon Holy Spring Water' is the highest grade special drink in Valentine. As for what it is, the citizens already know it well, and they have begun to accept these special drinks!
Because drinking more holy springs can effectively supplement trace elements and minerals, and the price is reasonable!

Correspondingly, there is also "Giant Dragon Holy Gold" as a synonym for feces. It is not only domineering, but also very elegant, and it can also directly explain the purpose of this thing~
And the heart of this green forest represents the booger of the giant dragon.
Looking up at the tree, Ted roughly guessed what was going on.

As a primitive tree man, the surrounding big trees are probably his descendants. In order to live in this world cautiously, he can only listen to the words of the primitive tree man. This is why they are all taciturn, even if Ted speaks Ask, and pretend they didn't hear
But this is not a problem now, because of Lilia's relationship, things will be much easier in the future!After all, Lilia gave the treants the opportunity to become intelligent creatures, which is considered a pro max of the grace of regeneration!

As long as you treat Lilia well, you won't lose this 'ally'~
Finally, after Lilia's memories and explanations, Ted understood the origin of these trees.

Since this ancient giant tree became wise, it has ceased to reproduce all the time, but because the spider would revive from time to time to make trouble, the population has not increased, and it has remained at around 1 for [-] years.

That spider even sucked the entire forest out a while back!

Fortunately, the core of the ancient giant tree is Lilia's booger, not Raphael's, so this kind of absorption has no effect on him!
In order not to be discovered by themselves and their descendants, after they sensed this action, they immediately came to the outskirts of the monster forest.

Taking advantage of the darkness, they moved to the north bit by bit, and they planned to migrate to the foot of the snow-capped mountains to recuperate.

The plan is good, but there are always surprises in everything!

During the migration, they seem to smell dessert.

After all, in this 'ancient' period, fossil fuels were not developed much, and creatures would fight each other when they had nothing to do, so the output of carbon dioxide was very little, not to mention the precious methane!

The temptation from the food made this group of treants unable to hold back, and followed the taste to the outside of Valentine's city.

Lilia is 50 years old this year, and this is her first child. In order to intercede for this child, let him stay by her side
She tugged Ted beside him, leaned against his ear, and coquettishly said with her 'Alice brand' milk vibrato and her clip voice: "Honey, how about letting these trees be stationed outside Valentine?" ? I always feel that the law set by the city is not to prevent the enemy, because your early warning and wit can ignore the trees now.”

Regarding his wife's question, Ted didn't need to hide his selfishness: "Hey hey, you still found out! Actually, I just hate mosquitoes and other insects, because before the city was stinky and full of bugs, life is better now. Everyone doesn’t like insects, so apart from certain flowers and plants, only caterpillars can be grown in the city.”

This explanation makes sense, but no trees are allowed within 50 kilometers, and greening is not allowed. This requirement is a bit too much: "This is not 50 kilometers!"

"Well... I just hate mosquitoes. If you want them to be stationed outside the city, it's not impossible, but let them find a way to reduce the production of insects!"

There must be a way!There is one available now! "It's simple~ Just ask the pangolins who are digging the tunnel to help. They like to eat insects, so just make them smaller?"

"Pangolin? What the hell is that?"

Hearing this, Chris came over
"My lord, that is the subway project you planned! William has already planned it, but there is no equipment to carry out the construction, and then your father-in-law Raphael found the younger brothers who were once covered by the dragons and asked them to work."

"Why don't I have any impression of this?"

"My lord, the city construction folder is green, and I usually put it at the bottom"

"Looks like I'll have to find time to go over all the files again."

Ted was used to fish and fish in his previous life, but he will still be lazy in this life!

But this time is completely different from last time, my own territory, no matter what, I have to fight hard!Don't leave things to others!
"My lord, you are already very tired, how about I ask someone to read it for you?"

"Looking for someone? No need"

As soon as I heard Nian Ted, I thought of another idea!

In order to increase efficiency, Ted used drawings to the factory and made the first batch of old-fashioned typewriters.

Now the documents handed over are also printed!Since it is printed, it is better to hand over the reading information to the system's computer voice!
This way you don't have to wear headphones and don't miss major news!
"Anyway, the documents you handed me have been simplified, and I have my own way."

"That's good. My lord, if you want someone to read it, I'll help you choose a secretary."

"secretary?"

This magical vocabulary always carries a hint of taboo, and Ted's little heart suddenly went haywire!
Out of curiosity, he asked, "Why, what did you say? Is there a specific candidate?"

"Of course! I recommend my younger brother. Although his ability to handle things is not as good as mine, he is also much better than others. It is no problem to help you with chores."

"Forget it, I think it's better for me to handle certain things by myself."

With that said, Ted turned his head and looked at Lilia who had nothing to do.

"Honey, do you want to come to work too? Be my secretary? By the way, be responsible for the awakening and development of the dragon and employment issues?"

"Okay! When do I go to work?"

I thought Lilia would refuse, but ever since she saw that Mia and Alice both had things to do, and they were doing well, she suddenly had the idea of ​​'competition' in her heart.

Although the three wives usually get along very well, it is inevitable that there will be some subtle comparisons~
Everyone else has work to do!

Mia will attend some specific occasions instead of Ted, and can also handle a lot of people's livelihood documents.

Alice presided over the big and small affairs of the family.

Only Lilia was idle at home, because she was the youngest child in the family, and even the "Building Blocks" some time ago was watching while eating chicken legs.
This made Lilia herself very uncomfortable!At least there should be something to do!
Right now, Ted's secretary is a great job!Not only can it help Ted deal with things, but he can also be with him at any time, and help him relieve stress when he is stressed! (It's just a massage, don't think about it!)
"Then we go to work now?"

"Okay! Then your first task is to discuss the terms of the covenant with the tree people. Chris will help you draw up the terms."

Upon hearing that the task was to deal with this small problem, Lilia pinched her waist and said excitedly: "No problem, they are my children! They must listen to me!"

Anticipating what she would say, Ted pulled her over and persuaded him patiently: "Elilia, brothers have to settle accounts clearly, even if you are mother and child, for the healthy development of the relationship in the future, it is even more important for the mother." Kindness and filial piety, you still have to talk about the benefits you should have! This can be regarded as your first lesson! Chris will help you!"

In terms of emotional intelligence, Lilia is not enough, and she only half-understands the response: "I understand."

Although Chris is very reluctant, in his 'male chauvinistic' eyes, he thinks that handing over the secretary to a woman will seriously delay the lord's concentration!
Fortunately, this person is Ted's wife, so he doesn't need to think about it, he can only accept it.
Lilia's problem is done, Chris will take care of the rest
"Hey! Chris, I remembered, if you sign it... Forget it, you can use the magic paper of the moon elves, let these big trees write small characters, it will be too difficult for them!"

"No problem, my lord, we will let our certified executive officer Vadina come to help."

Upon hearing that such a Neptune took on such a serious position, Ted only felt chills in his heart: "Huh? Vadina? Is it our certified executive officer?"

Chris thought he didn't speak clearly, so he answered in a low voice: "Yes, my lord"

Vadina's first impression on Ted was indescribable and impossible to pass the trial!So he has always had an inexplicable prejudice against her.

But her working ability is obvious to all, and it is everyone's opinion to get this position~
"Huh..." Ted wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and blamed himself in his heart: "The way she treated Da Vinci last time was very good. It seems that I have to look at her again."

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered Vadina's belly!Then she turned to look at Chris: "Wait. Isn't she pregnant? Logically, she should be on maternity leave!"

Chris didn't care. In his opinion, it was just a matter of a few minutes. There is no need to be so serious. Besides, it is an honor for everyone to work for the lord: "My lord. Just delay her for a while."

Ted raised his hand and immediately interrupted Chris's words, expressing his thoughts: "The law is the law, even if the law is not binding on the two of us, if we don't abide by it, how can we convince the public?" ? Only those of us obey the law, the people will obey!"

Chris let out a long breath, and responded with a pout: "I know that, sir."

Ted can see that Chris doesn't agree with this point of view, but he can only save it for future peacetime, and then argue with Ted.
