However, she suddenly thought of one thing: I seemed to have cut Lord Leoric into Lord Leoric with a single knife!He shouldn't hold grudges, right?
Thinking of this, she no longer has sexual desires.
Then, Romila took Leoric all the way to the river and said, "The old regent is waiting for you on the boat."
Leoric looked into the middle of the river, and saw a huge turtle floating in the water, holding a pavilion on its back, and could vaguely see an old man sitting in the pavilion, and a group of swans were playing in the water around it.He looked down at the rolling river again, and said, "And then, let me swim across?"
Romila chuckled and said, "No, please wait a moment." She waved her hand forward, and the swans swam over immediately when they saw the gesture.At the same time, two elven maids brought a huge dried banana leaf, and they laid the leaf flat on the water surface. As soon as the banana leaf drank water, it immediately swelled and turned into a banana boat.
Then the swans stretched out their necks, and the maids skillfully put the ropes around the swans.In this way, a "swan plantain boat" is ready!
Can control a swan to pull a boat?It was a grand scene.But generally speaking, elves would definitely not make this kind of boat. This kind of feeling should be the same as receiving guests in a luxurious carriage, right?
The elf queen made a "please" gesture, and Leoric carefully boarded the boat.Although he believed that the boat that the queen got would be fine, the plantain boat really didn't look very strong.However, the moment he stepped on the boat, he felt at ease, because the feeling under his feet was like stepping on an iron plate. It seemed that the banana leaf looked thin, but was actually very strong.
At this time, the river water is sparkling, and a group of plump, clean white swans are pulling the boat, the picture is pleasing to the eye.In addition, the air is cool today, and the surrounding environment is also very artistic. Leoric has the urge to sing a song, and he is in a good mood.
But the only fly in the ointment is—no, the only thing that spoils the atmosphere is that Leoric can understand what the swans are saying!
Swan A: "Idiot elf with your mother, the wages of last month have not yet been paid, and let the geese do the work again, do you think the geese are the ducks next door?"
Swan B: "The goose misses Cao Pi! The goose misses Cao Pi! The goose misses Cao Pi!"
Swan C: "That's right, it's better to ask the ducks for this kind of crap. What's the matter, the geese need to work more because they are beautiful? Then I didn't see you give more money to the geese!"
Swan B: "The goose misses Cao Pi, the goose misses Cao Pi, the goose misses Cao Pi!"
Swan A: "Isn't that right? I fooled the geese with some broken salted fish that I didn't even eat, and said I would make a nest for the geese in 'Green Willow Bay', but it's been a year, and I don't even have a tree branch , I only have an appetite for geese fishing here, what is it! Working for them is not as good as being a welcome goose for the princess of Manzi's family, at least they are generous..."
Swan B: "Cao Pi, Cao Pi, Cao Pi, Cao Pi, Cao Pi!"
Swan A: "I'm calling your mother, I'll kill you right away when I finish pulling this guy!"
Swan B (screaming at the neck): "Dry, dry, dry!"
Swan C: "It's too cute."
Swan A: "Ha people, go fast! Stay away from it."
In short, a group of swans dragged Leo Rick away cursing. Whenever this happened, he would think: Maybe it's better if I don't understand the language of animals.Before they couldn't understand it, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant everywhere, but after they understood it, they knew that these animals were safe per capita, and the cub of Mortready could be regarded as a moral model if they were put in it.
Moments later Leoric was on the back of the tortoise.The swans sent him to the place, and immediately left without looking back, cursing the street while walking.Leoric can now be sure that although the elves have a way to manipulate animals, absolutely no one can understand the animals' speech, otherwise there will be an extra northeastern dish called big goose stewed in iron pot on the elves' dining table.
At this time, the voice of the old regent came from the pavilion.
"Master Leoric, the old man has already taken root, so please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute."
Leoric looked around, and saw an old man sitting in the gazebo.This man was wearing a monk's white robe with gold trim, and his skin was like old bark. His feet were stuck in a patch of wet soil, and the roots of the tree could be seen on his calf.Leoric has heard before that after the life of elves comes to an end, there are two outcomes. Ordinary people are just like humans. They find a place to bury, and then the elves will plant a tree called "Paradise Tree" on the grave. Big tree, this tree is equivalent to a tombstone.The other is that the legs of the old regent began to take root and eventually turned into a big tree. This is a symbol of a saint in the eyes of the elves, just like the relics left behind by the eminent monks after they passed away.
Leoric came to his seat after being greeted by him. There was a big tree stump in the middle of the gazebo as a table. On this table, there were growth ring-like patterns growing naturally, and some green shoots were also pierced around it.There was no sink or dirt under his seat, just a solid floor.
The meal for the breakfast banquet has already been served: an unnamed soup dish, I can't tell what is in it, the milky white soup has a bit of green in it, and some kind of mushroom may be added; a small portion There are five types of noodles, red, orange, yellow, green, and white. The red ones should be filled with shrimps, which are a bit like shrimp dumplings, and the rest can’t be seen from the outside; All kinds of river fish, and there is a plate of noodles on the side.
In front of each of them was a plate, four kinds of dipping sauces, a pair of knives and forks, and a set of tools for eating shellfish.
Looking at it this way, the eating habits of the elves are a bit like Cantonese. They like authentic fresh products and soup.Even this fondness for entertaining guests in the morning reminded Leoric of the rich and delicious morning tea over there.
Damn, why didn't I travel to Guangdong before crossing over!If I can go back in the future, I really want to play and eat everywhere, oh, I have to bring Shia, friends here and so on... Thinking about the things in his previous life, he couldn't help thinking about it.
"Master Leoric, do you know if these things are suitable for your taste? The land where the half-blood elves live is barren, and we can't bring you any good things to entertain you. We can only prepare the best."
The elves were relatively reserved, so they didn't say anything serious at first, just exchanged a few words.Leoric was already hungry, so he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and let's start cooking.Oh, this soup is very fresh, and this dessert is also good, I am trying this dipping water, what is this black one?soy sauce...
Gan!Why sour plum sauce?
Leoric tasted the four sauces one by one, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: Fuck, the four sauces are all sweet!
The black one should be pickled plum sauce, but it's sweet; the white one tastes like condensed milk, but it's also sweet; golden honey; the last red one should be tomato sauce, but it's still fucking sweet.
Eat shrimp dumplings dipped in condensed milk?Mother Thuré!
Although the elf's food was still within his acceptable range, the taste was another matter entirely.Leoric ate a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach, then put down the tableware, looked at the old regent opposite, and said that he could start talking about business.The old man understood and said, "Then, Lord Leoric, I heard a saying yesterday that you are not a high elf, is that true?"
Leoric had no intention of concealing it, so he said, "Yes, all of this is a misunderstanding. I am not a high elf. But, as the leader of the Northern Expedition, I am happy to become friends with the elves."
The old man nodded, with a calm expression on his face, and said: "Well, the elves are definitely willing to be friends with you. However, the alliance between the two parties is out of my control. Her Majesty the Queen will meet with you after dinner. You talked about it. I just want to ask about your identity here, so, are you sure you are not a high elf?"
Leoric replied, "No, I'm not."
The old regent pondered for a while, sighed, and said, "Lord Leoric, you may have something to hide, so I won't ask any more, but no matter what you say, serving the truth is always the mission of half-blood elves. Since we were created From the moment they come out, this mission is engraved in the soul of every half-blood elf, just like plants need sunlight, soil and water, half-blood elves pursue the truth, which is also a kind of instinct based on physiology."
Leoric nodded noncommittally—why are you telling me this?
"However, since the last high elf passed away 200 years ago, our half-blood elves have lost their direction. We have also tried to reveal the mysteries of the world and find new truths, but ashamed to say, our wisdom is not enough to explore Those esoteric knowledge..."
This is not a lie, Leoric thought to himself, from my observations these days, the half-blood elf really doesn't look very smart, it's not that he's not smart, it's just that he's a little silly.
"... For 200 years, our magic, skills, crafts, martial arts, art, music, literature... everything has stagnated, and even regressed. Every night I dream of those glorious days, when At that time, the high elves lived on the golden tree, and they would issue oracles to us every month. As long as we follow the direction of the oracle, the race will not be confused, and the civilization will become more and more brilliant... Ah, please wear this , this is our gift to you."
In the middle of speaking, the old man suddenly took out an exquisite small box from under the table, and handed it to Leoric with both hands.
Leoric took the box and asked, "What is this?"
]q1 six 82 one 7 one
Chapter 70: One seat at the bottom of Luoyue River!
The old man smiled and said, "Please open the box."
Leoric gently opened the small lock on the top of the box, and saw a delicate ruby pendant inside.
"what is this?"
The old man said: "This is an enchanted jewelry that can increase your magic power. I only give it to you on behalf of myself. Thank you for your help to the half-blood elves!"
Leoric said: "This is too precious! Besides, I don't get rewarded for nothing, and I haven't done anything for the elves. If I want to say thank you, I should thank you, right?"
"Please take it with you, the elves will trouble you a lot in the future."
Leoric thought about it, and decided to accept the thing.Because accepting a gift, on the contrary, helps to establish a trust relationship between two people-the trust between two strangers is completed in the interaction of interests again and again, and this interaction of interests often increases from small to large. You give me a snack, I’ll bring you breakfast, and then invite each other to dinner, and then help each other with graduation projects, or help each other at work, or do business together, in the war years, In the end, they can become comrades-in-arms who watch over each other's backs.Of course, if both of you are generous and righteous people, it may be done in one step. This kind of thing is not uncommon in history.
In short, if this person doesn't like oil and salt, it will be difficult to make friends.
"Thank you very much then." Leoric took the small gift and put it around his neck.
Seeing this scene, an imperceptible smile appeared on the old bark-like face of the old regent.
The ruby in this necklace is not an ordinary gem. Its actual name is "Soul Gem", which is a prop to test the mind.
In the language of the half-blood elves, the word mind can be understood as the strength of a person's spirit.The stronger the mind, the more spiritual power one can possess.Generally speaking, the more you learn the truth, the less mental power you have, and the easier it is for a person to have a nervous breakdown.But contrary to common sense, when a person's mental strength is exhausted, his mind will become more determined.This is actually not difficult to understand, just like after a broken bone is spliced, the regrown bone will be stronger; the torn muscle will be as strong and powerful as it heals.All attributes of human beings follow the principle of first destruction and then growth.
In short, the relationship between "mind" and "spiritual power" is equivalent to the relationship between "the upper limit of the blue bar" and the "current mana amount".
This soul gem can have some kind of wonderful resonance with the wearer's mind, and it will glow and heat according to the wearer's mind strength.
Ordinary people wearing gems will not have any effect; but for people with high minds, after wearing gems, the temperature and brightness of this gem will increase.In other words, the more the person is exposed to the truth, the more pronounced the gem's effect will be.
This thing is actually a very common small utensil 200 years ago. Basically, adult high elves would wear one on their body, which is like an ID card.Because the more conspicuous the radiance of the gem, it proves that the person is closer to the truth, which means that he is wiser than others, and also symbolizes a more noble status.
When the old regent was young, he had the good fortune to attend some salons called "Truth Seminars" held by some high elves.
There are thresholds for these activities, and the guards will post a notice at the door: This seminar requires gem brightness/temperature above 200 to participate.
Then the high elves who want to participate in the seminar will take out their "soul gems" at the door and give them to the guards to test the brightness and temperature. The guards have a set of instruments for testing the energy of the gems. Get the brightness and temperature of the gemstone, and then convert it according to formula [-] to give a score.
Those whose scores exceed the threshold can participate in seminars, where they can discuss the truth, exchange academic knowledge, discuss topics such as philosophy, aesthetics, mathematics, history, etc., and enjoy free food, wine, music, and spices by the way. and other entertainment.If the score is lower than the threshold, you will naturally be turned away, no matter how much you beg, it is useless.Of course, there are also some salons that will set a threshold fee - if the purity is not enough, gold coins will be used to make up!But these salons are also relatively low-end.
The old regent went to the seminar with a big boss as an apprentice, and within half an hour after entering, he felt that he was going to have a nervous breakdown and foam at the mouth—the exchange of truth also meant a huge mental exhaustion. This little apprentice's spiritual power couldn't help being consumed like this.The indescribable works of art in the salon, the wonderful formulas with order in the chaos, and the harsh and enchanting music, each is enough to make his fragile soul scream.
Although it is embarrassing for this elf to be placed among the high elves, for the half-blood elves, being able to step into that gate is already a glorious experience worth bragging about for a lifetime, not to mention that he persisted in it for half an hour and even went whoring for nothing. Sweet biscuits and half a glass of wine.
Closer to home.
So the old regent wanted to test Leoric's purity with this thing.
The purity of the soul gem also determines the attitude of the old regent and the half-blood elves towards him in the future.
If it is said that this gem does not shine, it means that Leoric is really not lying, he has not been in touch with the truth, and he cannot be called a high elf, but just an ordinary person with extraordinary talents.If this is the case, the half-blood elves can only consider themselves unlucky, and then they will continue to treat Leoric and the plateau people as allies. The attitude will be more friendly, but they are equal in status and will not have any special care.
If the gemstone glows slightly, it is enough to show that Leoric has touched the truth of a certain field to a certain extent. Although he has not mastered it yet, at least he has the talent in this area!His wisdom is at least comparable to that of the old regent, and he can barely be called a high elf.In this case, the old regent can rest assured that the future of the elves rests on this lord.But because Leoric is unwilling to be a high elf, they will not call Leoric the elf king in name, but call him "commander of the coalition forces" or "general" or something like that.In fact, the high elves would serve him as a vassal would serve a lord and a knight would serve the king.
If the gem is obviously glowing and heating, it means that Leoric has already known some kind of truth!Perhaps he has been to the Land of Truth.If that's the case, it means that the half-blood elf really got lucky and picked up the treasure!Because even in the era when the high elves were prosperous, there were not many people who could obviously light up the soul gems. Such people were often very powerful in a certain field, and their status was not ordinary.For example, a lecturer at a university, a priest in a temple, or a famous bigwig in the industry or something.The master of the old regent back then was such a master at the level of "knowing the truth".That high elf specializes in the study of "incense magic", and can achieve strange effects by summoning all kinds of incense with strange smells—for example, making a non-estrus goat and a wolf successfully mate, and both are males. For example, let amnesiac patients forget their forgetfulness to cure the disease; for example, let procrastinating writers start writing furiously, and would rather wear diapers than leave the chair to go to the bathroom, etc.All in all very powerful.In that case, the old regent will immediately ask Leoric to be the new elf king, or give him the position of regent immediately.In short, you must hug this thigh!Absolutely can't let him run away!
If the gemstone emits a very obvious light, and the temperature is almost hot, this thing is a bit scary.That is to say, Leoric has not only known the truth, but even thoroughly interpreted the truth. He has definitely been to the land of truth.Only the royal family among the half-blood elves, and those legendary heroes can achieve this level.Like the famous ten elders, like the High Priest of Xingyue, and Helmeka who formed the Holy Middle-Earth Alliance back then... Legend has it that their gems can emit flame-like light, even if they are placed under the sun , can also sparkle.If that's the case...then Leoric is equivalent to a living god to the half-blood elves.Don't say let him be the elf king, you can recognize him as your own father, you should immediately build a temple to enshrine him.Such a saint can definitely make the elves great again! MEGA!
So, which one is it?
The old regent stared nervously at Leoric in front of him, only to see Leoric took out the necklace of soul gems and put it around his neck, and then went to the back to fasten the buttons on the back of the necklace with both hands.
"Huh?" Leoric buttoned it but didn't button it.
"Hmm?" He didn't buckle it again.
Fuck, how do you buckle the back of this chain, make such a small ring for me to put in, and I can't see it, what kind of retarded design?
As soon as he looked up and saw the old regent looking at him expectantly, Leoric suddenly felt uncomfortable: I am a representative of the Northern Expedition, but I can't even get a button on right now?This is too embarrassing,
Angrily, he took off his gloves and armguards, and continued to fiddle with the button.
And the old regent was so tense all the time, he felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat, and thought: Isn't this high elf lord's hands very skillful, is that necklace so difficult to tie?
If it weren't for the fact that his feet were stuck in the mud and he couldn't move, the old regent really wanted to go and help him.
"Okay!" Leoric finally buttoned the button.
With the necklace on right and the ruby pendant on his chest, it was time to witness the miracle!
The old elf king stared intently at the gemstone on Leoric's chest. This fiery gaze made Leoric feel a little uncomfortable. He first said in his heart: This old man probably wants to play with me. Exorcism game?But after thinking about it, the old man is about to go to the ground—no, the person who has already been buried, shouldn't have that kind of spirit.Then why is he staring at me like that?Could it be that the gem on my chest is too expensive, and he regretted it?
Just then, Leoric felt the jewel on his chest begin to glow.He looked down, and the gemstone was gradually getting brighter, from the level of the mobile phone screen at the beginning, it gradually became like a flashlight...
Seeing this scene, the old regent couldn't help exclaiming: "My lord, you..." He raised his head to look at Leoric's face, and tears filled his eyes immediately, "I really saw the right person! You are The man we are looking for, Lord Leoric..."
Speaking of time, the gemstone is still getting brighter, and now it is as dazzling as a red-hot charcoal in the dark.And Leoric can feel the temperature of that thing through the armor, like a warm baby that heats itself.
The old regent opened his mouth wide as if he had swallowed an egg raw, stared at his eyes, and said, "This, this! How is this possible! Even the jewel of the Great Elder would not be so bright! Leoric, what are you? ..." His eyes on Leoric gradually turned into fear.
"I don't make it! What is this, a flashlight? A hand warmer? Or an XX mobile phone playing a mobile game?" Leoric said in confusion.
"It shouldn't be, why is it still glowing!" The old man said in horror, he looked at Leoric and then at the gemstone, feeling his heart pounding.The most powerful high elf so far should be Helmeka, but the old man has never seen Helmeka's soul gem, only heard that his gemstone is as bright as a torch.Leoric is obviously better than the torch, but most of the legends are exaggerated, so if you say it like this...
And that gem continues to intensify!It's getting brighter and hotter!Leoric was a little scared, and asked, "Old man, what the hell did you give me..."
"boom!"
Blasted.
I saw that the soul gem emitted a dazzling white light and a deafening loud noise, which was as powerful as a flash bomb, and the old regent and Leoric fell into deafness and blindness immediately.The old man covered his eyes and wailed, and fell into the mud. Leoric was even suffocated by the blow, and a big hole was split in his armor.
Even worse, the explosion terrified the tortoise beneath them.The tortoise screamed and sank directly into the water. The two of them almost lost consciousness. They could neither hear nor see, so they could only let the big tortoise toss in the water.After a while, the tortoise might have recovered, and suddenly remembered that there were two more people on its back!This quickly surfaced.
The old regent was a little farther away, and after being stimulated by cold water, his consciousness was restored.Fortunately, his legs were rooted in the soil and he was not thrown out by the land turtle.He squinted his eyes, and could vaguely see a bit of the picture, all the tables and chairs were overturned, and the food and drink did not know where to go, and the pillars of the pavilion were still entangled with water plants...
So, what about Lord Leoric?
The old man suddenly saw ripples in the river more than ten meters away from the land turtle.
And among the ripples, there was a hand with the middle finger raised.
"Lord Leoric—!" The voice of the old regent screamed like a duck whose neck was trampled.

Chapter 71: Leoric must pay his debts
Leoric opened his eyes, and saw the familiar door of truth standing before him.
Come on, grandpa is here again.
Leoric walked in with a very complicated mood. When he went in this time, the giant didn't even greet him, and let him choose by himself.At this time, Leoric was still confused about this death, thinking to himself: It shouldn't be, why did the half-blood elf kill me?They have no motive...
Um?move what?
He was amused by his soliloquy, when the giant's voice came from not far away.
"What's wrong with you again?"
"It's okay, it's all about the motive...Pfft! Hahahahahahahahahaha!" He was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter, and he couldn't stop laughing.
The giant was also at a loss, so he said, "Choose the books yourself, and leave as soon as you finish."
"Oh, okay." He smiled awkwardly, then went in to pick out books.
