The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 481 Korima Village
  Ted, the first governor of Kolyma Village, was building his own living room by himself.

As a branch of elves, although most drow are cruel and murderous, their appreciation and pursuit of art are not much different from those of real elves.

Even in the dark underground world, the high-level drow mistresses and chief priests will always build a gorgeous palace and residence full of various exquisite artistic atmospheres.

Ted, who inherited the blood of the drow and was now renamed the dark elf, was a group of rebels from the Corima city state. After arriving at the barren gravel beach, they still did not forget their pursuit of art and began to pursue art. Their simple villages are artificially carved.

It is hard to imagine that a group of spellcasters would use their precious magical spells and divine spells every day to intervene in the surrounding plants, making clusters of roses and rose vine branches weave into complex patterns, attached to their stone. Quality building.

Each stone building is also carved with exquisite patterns, including fish, insects, animals, birds and auspicious clouds, which add countless colorful colors to the simple stone bricks and tiles.

Ted is no exception. Although he is a male creature, the artistic cells deep-rooted in his blood have made him a master stone carver, and he is also one of the most skilled stone carvers among the dark elves in their line.

A lifelike black dragon appeared on the porch with the continuous drawing of the carving knife in Ted's hand. Its two outstretched wings formed an arch, making the monotonous porch suddenly full of majesty.

"Sir, we have a visitor."

While Ted was happily admiring his masterpiece, a dark elf warrior came over and reported to him.

"guest?"

Ted was somewhat surprised.

When the dark elves first arrived, apart from having certain connections with several major churches in the oak camp, other wilderness natives were actually somewhat repelled by them. Under such circumstances, how could anyone think of visiting their own village?

"The Bugbear Chief of the Greenfield Tribe."

"Is it him? What is he doing here?"

Ted was even more surprised by Alan's visit.

Allen, the leader of the bugbears, is very hostile to Ted and the other dark elves settling in the Green Plains. The last time I went to a banquet, although I didn't face much trouble from Allen, the other party also didn't give him a good look and seemed very cold.

Even the settlements in his own village were carefully selected, surrounded by the eyes, ears and strongholds of the Green Field Tribe.

To the west is the Riptide Bay stronghold. Although the Green Field tribe's remaining population is not too large, it is still much larger than the remnants of my own tribe. To the south is a gnoll tribe named Ivan. They have the smallest population. But as a surveillance base, it is enough to keep an eye on any movement of the dark elves southward; as for the southwest and east, they are the two important towns of the Green Field Tribe, which are not something Ted and his group of elves can provoke.

That is to say, the place in the north, where ravines and mountains intersect, can still leave a little living space for Ted and his group of elves.

But not to mention the complex environment in these mountains, just the fact that after crossing the mountains, you may encounter drow, Ted and the others need to be careful in developing the northern mountain range.

Being caught in the middle, it is obviously unrealistic for Kolima Village to develop and grow, so Ted has been making preparations to lead his compatriots southward after resting here for a period of time.

However, after attending Allen's night banquet last time, Captain Nordin of the Oak Church suddenly told himself that if they wanted to, they could settle on the gravel beach for a long time. This caused Ted and his remnants to have a little disagreement.

Although Ted was elected as the first guardian of the village and has great power, after all, they are all devout believers of the Dark Maiden. When it comes to the prestige of the tribe, the girl's preaching in the world The legendary priest Lydia is probably still heavier than Ted.

When the ethnic group rebelled, most of the children were taken away. These children were not physically mature and the long journey was a heavy burden for them. When they rested here after crossing the Tagan Desert, hundreds of infant elves gave birth to babies. There was a serious illness, and two children even died.

Therefore, if it is not really necessary, Lydia does not want the elf children in front of her to be injured again, at least when their physical fitness improves, there will be no more turmoil in the long journey.

Allen has been observing outside Kolima Village for several days, and has a certain understanding of the other party's actions. From the other party's actions in running the village, he can roughly guess a certain attitude of the other party.

Originally, he had no intention of paying a visit to this dark elf, but now that Allen has chosen his future target, he thinks it is necessary to ease the relationship with him.

"It's running well, Ted is here to guard it."

Allen looked at the dark elves' village from close range and commented with interest.

The architectural style of the elves is different from the architectural style of the wilderness. It pays more attention to the carving and decoration of the details. Even the growth of every flower and grass is paid attention to. Although the village still looks a little rough now, the general plan has been revealed, and there is indeed something worth learning from Allen.

"Nothing compares to your Green Lake Town. Chief Allen is just laughing at the simplicity of our village."

Never before, they were free to do what they wanted without scheming with others or worrying about exposing their identities. Ted and the others were already very satisfied with settling down on the gravel beach.

Therefore, after deciding to stay and live for a period of time, this group of dark elves with bright hearts naturally devoted their full joy to the construction of the village and the management of their own cabins. humane.

Hearing Allen's approval at this time, although he didn't know if it was sincere, it also made Ted's mouth fill with a smile.

"No, it's really great to be able to manage the village like this in such a short period of time."

"..."

"Chief Allen, what's the matter with your coming here this time?"

After some pleasantries, Ted brought the topic back and asked about Allen's purpose.

"Oh, I just want to go back to Green Lake Town and stop by to see how the children of the tribe are studying with you."

Allen smiled slightly.

"By the way, where is Ms. Lydia?"

"She went to the mountains to the north to look for her favorite plants. She probably won't go far. Chief Allen, do you want to see her?"

Allen's strength was clearly demonstrated at the night banquet some time ago. Before he could figure out Allen's true intention, Ted had to treat him cautiously.

"Oh, I just wanted to say hello to her."

"Are the children in my clan naughty in the village?"

Allen changed the subject and suddenly asked about the first group of goblin children who came to study.

According to the previous contract with Ted and the others, the two sides will exchange hundreds of teenagers every year to go to the other side's town to learn the other side's heritage and knowledge. Not long after the contract was concluded, Shi Sheng had already selected outstanding goblin students and sent them to Gravel Beach to study.

"They are all a group of outstanding and obedient children. The future of your tribe, Chief Allen, is bright!"

"No way, it's still not as good as the kids you sent to Green Lake. They learn things really fast!"

There is always no one who dislikes complimenting each other, and the smiles on their faces became more and more enthusiastic. While communicating, under the guidance of Ted, Allen also saw the lively group of people in the dark girl's church. Lovely young goblins.

"Grandpa Patriarch!!"

"The Patriarch..." Unknowingly, Allen has become an old man like a grandfather. Although his face is still that of a mature middle-aged man, in front of this group of goblin teenagers who came out of Green Lake Town, no one would Confused by his mature face.

Young people always have fewer worries. When they saw Allen push open the door and walk in, everyone immediately turned their little heads towards Allen and stopped listening to the dark elf's usual lectures. After the teacher announced the end of get out of class at Ted's signal, a group of goblins swarmed over and surrounded Alan, chirping and shouting.

"Grandpa Patriarch, are you here to take us home?"

"Grandpa, I miss home..."

Allen touched the heads of the young boys of different heights, with a kind smile on his face. In front of these children, Allen really couldn't show any airs.

"Are you homesick? Are you crying?"

As the life of the clan gets better and better and the communication with the outside world increases, the environment in Green Lake Town is actually not much different from the civilized world. Affected by this, the new generation of young goblins no longer have the talkative and boring character of their parents, and they also lack a lot of experience of running and struggling for life. Now they are just sent to a gravel beach hundreds of miles away to study for a period of time. It made them all seem to have suffered a lot of grievances.

Allen didn't know whether this change was good or bad. He had wanted to change the atmosphere, but after seeing the happy expressions on the children's faces, he finally compromised.

"No……"

"You lied!! I saw you secretly hiding in bed and crying..."

"I do not have!!"

"..."

Allen's words immediately caused a quarrel among the goblins. Looking at the cute little guys, he also became rarely relaxed.

The dark elves were very concerned about their promises, and specially assigned several instructors to give individual lessons to the goblins. Although they did not know the specific content of the lessons, it was just this attitude. During Allen's impromptu visit, he was very sincere. .

After appeasing the group of goblins, Alan simply proposed to wander around the newly built village. Ted could not refuse and could only accompany him.

On the road, from time to time, graceful dark elf females or handsome and upright males would say hello to Allen and Ted, and Ted would respond to them all. Allen secretly observed that these dark elves were really very different from other drow he had seen.

For example, although the females of the dark elves are still gorgeously dressed, and their clothes are often exposed, their eyes are less frivolous and charming; and their aura has also changed a lot, and the former sinisterness and silence have gradually disappeared. Dispelled by the cheerful smile, the attitude became more friendly.

"If you have any needs here, you can report it to Green Lake Town. Since we have promised to let you live here permanently, if I can help you, just ask."

While chatting, Alan's sudden words surprised Ted again, but under his handsome face, his expression did not waver at all.

"It's really closed here, and it's difficult to get some daily necessities. But if you say so, Chief Allen, then I won't be polite. I just don't know if you can purchase enough supplies in Green Lake Town?"

Ted asked tentatively.

"Green Lake Town is not enough, you can go to Muir Fortress, which is also our tribe's town now!!"

Allen casually came up with a solution, but then he thought of the problem with this solution.

"Oh, I forgot. The distance between Namur Fortress and Gravel Beach is too far, and there is no trade road. It is really troublesome to get there."

"Well, you said, is it okay if we build a trade road together, along with your gravel beach and Namur Fortress?"

"what?"

Ted's eyes were hesitant. Although Allen seemed to be just mentioning it casually, other thoughts came to his ears when he heard it.

"That's naturally a good thing, but if you want to build such a business road, I'm afraid it will take a lot of investment! And the time will not be short!"

"Chief Allen, are you sure you want to build such a trade road?"

"Why not?"

Allen asked rhetorically.

"I have no plans to give up the territory of Green Field Plain!"

The meaningful words made Ted's expression stagnant for a moment, but he calmed down in an instant and said with a smile: "Chief Allen has a long-term vision, no wonder he can break into the world he is today!!"

“It will get better!!”

Allen said with full fighting spirit and confidence.

"How about it? Are you interested in building a business road together?"

"If the trade route is built, it will be easier to purchase supplies and communicate with the outside world in the future."

"This is..."

Ted looked embarrassed, as if he had something to say.

"Our small village has just been built, and the population is only a few thousand. How can we find the people there!!"

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to participate!!"

Allen patted Ted's shoulder with his thick palm, completely unable to tell that the relationship between the two of them was not actually harmonious before.

"Anyway, building business roads cannot be completed in a short time, right?"

"You build your village first, and then when you have time, send a group of people to start building from your village east."

"Ah... I want to discuss it with Lidya, is that okay?"

"no problem!"

Since the dark elves are going to settle here for a long time, for the sake of the Oak Holy See, Allen can't squeeze them too much. Now, the decision to build the business road has actually been made in Allen's mind. Whether Ted and his group agree or not, it will not change the result.

But if he didn't say hello to the other party first, the suspicious character of the Dark Elf's predecessor might cause some trouble, so Allen simply told the other party about the matter under the pretense of inviting them to participate.

Of course, if they can really participate, it will speed up the construction progress to some extent.
