Chapter 085: Forest Elf's Gift

A beautiful mountain range with an elevation of less than 100 meters winds from west to east, and the middle part of the tortuous part cuts off a tributary of the River of the Earth. This unnamed tributary has gentle water, but it cannot be blocked by the beautiful mountains. The water flows on the southern end of the middle of the mountain. A large area of low-humidity swamps emerges, and it merges into a river again, the gurgling river heading east.

The Li tribe lives in the mountains to the east of this low wet swamp.

The two large rivers and countless tributaries on the plains do not have absolutely fixed river channels. Naturally generated mountains are not enough to form barriers. The diversion of river water is common; when the river floods every summer, there can even be nearly one-third of the plains. The ground is turned into a low wetland, so...even if such a terrain is not suitable for grazing, in many cases the grassland people can only live with their noses.　　

A huge herd of bison with hundreds of heads entrenched in the swamp, or bowed their heads to drink, or rolled in mud puddles, comfortably occupying this "wetland" to spend the hottest noon.

Not far from the buffalo herd, where the nameless river reunited, two black and white snow werewolves with a messy white hair were standing in the kneeless river water with their bare buttocks, their hands in the muddy muddy water to seacher something...

"Catch it!" One of them's eyes lit up, his arms swelled, his muscles bulged, and a half-meter-long fat fish clasped his cheeks and caught it out of the water with the sound of splashing water, and beat it to the side to be dry on the beach.　　

"Boom", the big fish that couldn't help but was stunned.

There were four or five big fish on the river beach, the longest being more than one meter in length. Two wild snow werewolves washed the mud on their hands and jumped onto the river bank, one of them went to clean up the skins they took off. Another person found the peeled vine and put the big fish on it.

"Let's go!" Throwing the big fish that passed the gills with the vines onto the body, before the two snow werewolves left, they waved at the herd of bison entrenched in the swamp.　　

"Moo——" Among the bison herd, a bull with a shoulder width of one and a half meters, a body length of more than four meters, a huge horn on top of his head, and a surprisingly large bull lying in a mud puddle called out, seeming to be responding.　　

"The big horn gets stronger and stronger, when will you catch it and eat it?" One of the snow werewolves smiled.　　

"You can't beat it, it's all demonicized." The Second Snow Werewolf also laughed.　　

"Xiaohua must have beaten it." 　　

"Haha, we can't raise that herd of." 　　

The camp of the chestnut tribe is built on the hillside, and the gentler platform between the mountains is their tribe. They have lived on this land for more than a hundred years, and are no longer satisfied with the wool felt tent, so they took the mud from the wetland marsh and mixed it with grass leaves, and pasted it on the frame built with branches, creating a full of original flavor. The earth-packed house... looks ugly, but in winter, this kind of earthen bag thickly pasted with wetland soil is good for warmth, and the small days are so more beautiful than the previous Huoyan tribe. I don't know where it is.

"We are back~" The two snow werewolves climbed up the mountain briskly against the fish. Just as they climbed the platform, they were taken aback, and then rushed up cheeringly, "Ayan Ayan, you are back!!" 　　

"I'm back La!" Seeing her little friend, Ayan immediately jumped up and rushed to the two of them, and the three of them rolled into a ball: "Ahaha, I miss you so much!"

"Hey! Come back!" A green vein appeared on Hongye's forehead.　　

Ayan quickly got up and ran back to the team.

"..." Xiaohua, the warrior of the Li tribe's housekeeper, stared at Ayan with a corner of his mouth.

"Uh... these are the spices we sent." Hongye was not good at scolding their children at other people's homes, and pushed the things they carried forward. "This bag is garlic, and this bag is ginger. , This is chili and Chinese pepper, this roll is white cotton cloth, and this box, there are scissors, needles, thread in the box..."　　

"When the garlic and ginger are cooked in the soup, they can be frozen when the weather turns cold. Let him drink some ginger water and wear clothes made of white cotton cloth for the cubs..."　　

"...According to what Ayun said before, we will only change the fur for these things. If your tribe has accumulated beast skulls and animal skins, we Yes, for cattle and sheep, we don't use it for the time being, but if you can smoke it into bacon strips, we will also collect it when we come next time." The patriarch of the 　　

Li tribe...worked in another transport team, this time I didn't follow it, but the deal The content of Ayun had been agreed before when he came to recruit soldiers, and the soldiers who guarded the house could also call the shots. The top brother Gui Xiaohua, who is the same model as Hongye, nodded happily: "Okay, we have prepared the fur, and some parts of the World of Warcraft have been left. But we have not used spices, you have to teach it."

"No problem!"

Garlic and ginger are hard currencies when they arrived on the earth in modern times. Of course, their role is not only as an annoying existence in food. In fact, the more productive, backward infrastructure, and low level of logistics in the world, the more garlic and ginger are. There is a market, because these two spices can eliminate a certain degree of peculiar smell, so that spoiled food can be delivered to the mouth, and have a certain degree of disinfection and sterilization.　　

Modern people's pursuit of green, environmental protection, pesticide-free and pure naturalness is nothing more than a problem that has been accustomed to living with ample supplies for decades. In the previous 100 years, at least 80% of the world's population had eaten a lot of spoiled food every year, and a small part did not even eat the spoiled food.

People who travel a lot across the country know that the heavy oil and spicy cooking methods in some areas are actually to cover up the stale ingredients... ahem.

In addition, it is the stimulation and enjoyment of taste-don't doubt, the timeline on the earth has been pushed forward for decades, and 90% of people's pursuit of food is to be full, but not to eat well, why? Because the food tastes weak, "eat fragrant and drink spicy" is a common yearning for a better life. It only hangs on the mouth if it is not available; it is like the description of the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the Water Margin, drinking a big bowl of wine and eating a big piece of beef. It was a way of life that made people envy and jealous at the time.　　

Put a little pepper, garlic, ginger and boiled broth, it tastes like the salt-only soup. The Li tribe took a sip of the soup and immediately took out the exchanged materials without hesitation.

The snow werewolf tribe's food source is grazing and hunting. Each tribe accumulates a certain amount of fur. As for the parts of the warcraft, it depends on luck... The speed of the snow wolf tribe fighters is indeed quite painful, unless they can Hit the baby, otherwise they would have to stare as soon as Warcraft escaped.

After counting the items exchanged between the two parties on the spot, Hongye smiled and said: "We will do it again before autumn. I have a suggestion. You might as well shave the wool and store it before autumn. It has grown out." 　　

"Wool? Long-haired sheep's wool?" Xiao Hua was taken aback.

"Yes, we can lend you the tools for shaving." Hongye waved, and A Yan quickly took out the wool shears stored in the bag. "The shaved hair is packed into bundles with as little rubbish as possible, or it can be used as Exchange the fur with us." 　　

"No problem!" Xiaohua nodded immediately, shaving the hair without killing the sheep, the hair can continue to grow, which is more cost-effective than swapping fur.

After staying in the Li tribe for a day, Hongye and others will continue to set off. Xiaohua's partner reluctantly bids her farewell in tears, making Xiaohua laugh and cry...　　

Hongye guids a team goes to the northeast, and Yu guids team goes to the southeast. When Hongye and others left the Li tribe, Yu's team also came to a cat tribe with more than 200 people.

Because of their better appearance, the cat tribe is the race that has the most contact with human caravans on the grassland. After all, the size of the cat tribe is closer to humans, and the size of the snow wolf tribe and tauren is too threatening...

The fifteen-man Snow Wolf Warrior team is not an exaggeration to say that it is enough to fight a tribal-scale local war. This team has just entered the territory of the Cat Clan and scared the patrolling Cat Clan warriors; but again. At first glance, these snow werewolves were actually carrying large and small bags of supplies, but they didn't bring their weapons, which made the cat fighters on patrol very confused... 　　

After some warnings and negotiations, Yu expressed the snow wolf tribe's intention to trade. But the cat tribe is obviously not so easy to believe—is it poisonous?

Snow werewolves will do business now! Who believes it! As a result, Yu's team had to stay in place for two days, and let the cat tribe's people check their team. Only then did the cats believe in the sincerity of the snow wolf tribe's trade and let Yu enter the door. ...　　

Said the way of trading, the cat family was relieved immediately-hell, such a big bargain was delivered to the door without taking it for nothing! The human caravan needs to exchange a bag of salt for an adult cow with four-year-old horns, and the snow wolfman's spice white cotton cloth for the fur... It really deserves to be the snow wolf clan, and the business of losing money is so active!　　

On the third day, after completing the transaction and leaving this cat tribe, Yu was very tired and turned towards everyone: "Next time we will bring a few cat tribes in our team, otherwise it would be a waste of time to do this every time."

The warriors in the Yu team nodded in agreement, thinking that the cats were so good at dealing with the Qingyan, the ball, the fish bone, and the rosemary that everyone was used to! They are so naive!　　

Huoyan tribe, the busy cats at all posts sneezed.　　

"Qiuqiu?" The cheetah, who was combing his wool on a pedal carding machine, looked at Qiu with concern.　　

"It's okay, but the nose is a bit itchy... Snee!"

Qiu touched his nose, but the wool on his hands irritated the nasal cavity...　　

"Otherwise, you can rest for a while, anyway, the wool can't be processed." Cheetah said.

In everyone's impression, cheetahs seem to belong to a large cat family...but it is not true. The speed-specialized cheetahs are actually a bit biased. They are generally lighter in size and lack frontal combat effectiveness. After being transformed into human form, they are only better than rabbits. No matter how the devil is, Xiao Yun can't treat the cheetah as a second-level labor force... the labor intensity is not the same thing at all.

"No need, this batch of wool must be spun out quickly." Qiu speeded up his hand movement, "Ayun said that we don't have enough manpower to spin and we can simply sell the wool in the next transaction. The pure colored wool can't sell the price, so let's hurry up and sell the wool. After spinning, let Ayun go to dye. "　　

...The preparation of phosphate fertilizer has not been successful, but the mineral dyes extracted from the phosphate rock have been smashed out. The chemical industry is so magical, you never know which additional industry will smile at you first when you develop a certain product.　　

The vast jungle owned by the forest elves is also named. The common name on the mainland is Yatis Forest, which means "the home of the forest goddess." But after the green dragons shamelessly occupied the northern area thousands of years ago, the green dragon shamelessly referred to the largest and most extensive jungle on this continent as the "Yaka Blue Forest", which means The garden of the goddess of life, this can make the forest elves angry-theoretically the goddess of forest and the goddess of life are the same, and they are the priesthood of a goddess, but the three big monotheisms on the earth have all played out the dog's brain, this world Although the longevity species are not so stupid, it is impossible for each other to have a good face.

Therefore, neither Yatis Forest nor Yaga Blue Forest is called. People all over the world agree that this jungle is called "Forest"... Otherwise, you want to fight with the elves who can fight, or you want to compare with the green dragon. Is it loud at once?

General Kleist's tribe is located in the middle of the forest, in the coastal area of the southwestern corner of the northern continent. This tribe has tens of thousands of people, six elven villages, one elven city, 1,000 elven warriors, and more than 60 elves. Mage, more than thirty elven druids.

That's right... It's a tribe, but its strength is much higher than that of some small human nations. So if you want General Klester to respect the princes of small human nations, it's completely impossible...　

The City of Ananas, a city built in The city in the lofty mountains that divides the mainland of Bloomfield into east and west plates. This elven city has an area not inferior to that of a small human city, inhabited by more than 4,000 forest elves and more than 300 buildings.

The dome building in the center of the city belongs to the council of elders. When Karl and Harlan entered the council through the long corridor of the lake and through the courtyard of the plaza where the birds can't stay up and down, the guardian elder Gwendolyn saw them.

The bookshelves more than ten meters high fell lightly. Hmm... the elves are not the kind of boring races that even the armor is hollowed out. They also pay attention to practicality and utilization. The large-scale elder council is not only used when discussing tribal affairs, but usually is In the library of the tribe, ordinary elves can come in by reporting their name to the guards.

Elder Gwendolyn is one of the twelve elders. He is more than six hundred years old. He is an elven mage. Under the influence of the wind element, he slowly fell to the ground. His smart eyes swept across the young warriors Karl and Harun, gentle A smile: "It's Carl and Harlan. Didn't you follow Kleist to garrison the port? Why did you come back?"

"Elder Gwendolyn." The two elven warriors stroked their chests and saluted together.

Harlan took out a white porcelain plate decorated with blue patterns from his arms: "We came back on the order of General Craster. The snow wolf tribe on the prairie wants to use this porcelain to trade with us, General Craster. I hope the elders can give guidance and suggestions."

The wind element rolled away the porcelain plate from Harlan's hand, and gently held it in front of Elder Gwendolyn, turning it around freely as if being held by one hand.

Gwendolyn looked surprised: "This is...this is owned by the Snow Wolf tribe?" 　　

"Yes." 　　

Elder Gwendolyn reached out and took the white porcelain plate in his hand. The smooth touch and pure body made She became more and more surprised: "How could...Did the Snow Wolf tribe retrieve their heritage? But I remember that the Orc Empire never produced such a product two hundred years ago. Where did they learn the technology?"

This idea of it only lasted for a while before it dissipated. Gwendolyn didn't really care that a certain race possessed a certain skill she didn't understand-the new magic alloy of the Alchemists Association, the inorganic life machinery creation of the Dwarf Kingdom, and the short-term sacrifice of the sea race. The way to control the weather in a local area, the magic steam train of the orc empire, the large airship owned by the caster's association... There are countless unknown ancient technologies or new skills in this world. If you have to entangle your own ignorance for each item, that day No need to pass.

"Nice craftsmanship, I would like this kind of dinner plate. In what direction does Kleist want to ask for advice?" 　　

Harlan honestly quoted the snow wolf clan's expected price... they wanted to trade porcelain for it. Sun cloth of equal weight.　　

Hmm... kaolin-fired porcelain, although it is troublesome to spray patterns and glaze by hand, it will definitely make a profit if you need to exchange it for the same weight of sun cloth. Xiao Yun's price is higher and waits for others to pay it back.

Gwendolyn was stunned for a moment, and then she covered her lips and chuckled. She didn't know how this porcelain plate was made by the Snow Wolf tribe, but the craftsmanship of the sun cloth was already mature and the mass production was cheap. In her opinion, The price of such exquisite porcelain is indeed a bit low... No wonder Kleist let two elven warriors go for a trip. How could the elves take advantage of the snow wolf clan? Wouldn't it be ridiculed in the future?

"I think the price offered by the Snow Wolf tribe is very reasonable, so we will do it according to their wishes." Gwendolyn said softly, "We forest elves are a race that values negotiation etiquette among various races. Friends of the clan gave some special products of the Elf clan to give back to the friendship of the Snow Wolf clan." 　　

It is not enough to get the friendship of the Elf clan in one transaction.　　

So half a month later, the busy and ecstatic Huoyan tribe ushered in a team of sixty elves.　　

Xiao Yun hurriedly washed his hands and changed his clothes and ran to the opposite side of the artificial river to greet him. Because of his determination, he was shocked by the things that the forest elves brought over—what's going on! Even if the elves don't counter-offer the porcelain with a total weight of more than 4,000 catties, it would be more than 4,000 catties of sun cloth. As soon as a few snow werewolves were packed in the pockets, they would come back with them. Did you specially organize a team to send them? !　　

Some fruit trees with all beards and tails have been dragged over with a flatbed truck? What's wrong with your forest elves? !　　

"Mr. Ayun!" 　　

The leader of the team is Harlan and Karl, two acquaintances. Karl is still suffering from illness and death, but Harlan is very enthusiastic.　　

"Uh... Harlan, what are you...?" Xiao Yun bit his tongue, holding back what's wrong with you.

"The four cars in the front are equipped with traded sun cloth, and the said porcelain is 4,200 jin." Harlan smiled, "The dozen cars in the back are gifts from our forest elves to the snow wolf tribe. , Our tribe's specialty fruits are six types, totaling 20,000 catties, plus six fruit trees cultivated by our tribe's druids, and two blessing trees... You are separated by two rivers and can't be shipped, do you think? Let the people of your tribe carry it?"

" Xiao Yun was dumbfounded, and rubbed his face vigorously, "Wait, you said...gift? Give us? Why?" 　　

Harlan laughed without saying a word...　　

He said in his heart again, you forest elves. What's wrong, Xiao Yun twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then... since they have been delivered all the way, I can only express my heartfelt thanks... What is the blessing tree?"

"This is our forest elf's." The signboard!" Harlan immediately lifted his spirits, "The blessed tree is the legendary "lucky tree". Because of the different watering methods, growing areas, and people taking care of during the production period, different fruits will be produced on the blessed tree. We The most enviable blessing fruit of the forest elves, which is not available in the entire continent, including other continents, is planted by this tree. Among adventurers, the highest-level blessing fruit is equal to ten times the weight of gold, and there is no market price , BALBALABALA... The archdruid of our tribe has speculated that if the purest souls take care of the blessing tree, the blessing tree will surely give back the same amount of blessings." 　　

Xiao Yun: "..." Don't you bother to be too lazy. If you want to give it away, just take two trees and make up an allusion to make up the number. Anyway, if it can't be planted, it is the Snow Werewolf's own pot, which is the concept of the king's new clothes.

The rivers and artificial rivers in the tribe didn't have time to build decent bridges. The elves who transported the "gifts" naturally couldn't make it through. The elves who came for field work curiously ran out towards the fields and Xiao Yun on the other side of the artificial river. The snow werewolf who greeted him looked straight; Xiao Yun couldn't do anything, so he had to ask the team members to stop work and move things, and let the cafeteria start work quickly... People came all the way, do you have to take care of the food?

Harlan just waited to eat this meal, stood beside him and waited comfortably, holding his chest with his hands and watching the snow werewolf carry it... It's not that he didn't want the elves to help, but in terms of strength, the elves really had nothing to compare with the snow werewolves. of.

These gifts...Fruit trees are insignificant additions. The big head is on the two blessing trees. This thing is given out. The thickest-faced dragons can't say that the elves take advantage of the snow wolves. This addition is not just a gift, only the forest elves have the blessing tree for Mao? Because this thing is difficult for others to feed, let alone bear fruit...

The gentle elder Gwendolyn, but when an elf queen is so annoyed by the green dragon to die, she has to be conscripted to the royal city to deal with the characters of the green dragon~Want to take advantage of her? Great difficulty!　　

Harlan is proud, and this mission can ensure that he won't take advantage of the snow wolf clan and won't suffer. The elders have considered everything, and he doesn't need to bother.

On the other side, Xiao Yun circled the blessing tree that hadn't been transported two times. No matter how you looked at it, he felt that it was an ordinary leafy tree, and the forest elves were teasing them... but they were given away for nothing, holding his nose.

After accepting it, the six mature fruit trees domesticated by the elf druids were already a surprise. The escorting elves all stepped aside, Xiao Yun moved closer to identify what kind of tree it was, and then... just as he approached the blessing tree that was lying flat and tied to a flatbed truck within three meters, he saw the branches and leaves facing him. It seemed to feel uncomfortable and moved to the two sides.　　

Xiao Yun: "..." 　　

He took a few steps back gently, and the separated branches and leaves closed on their own.

Xiao Yun walked two more steps forward, and those branches and leaves seemed to dislike him again...　　

"Damn?!" Xiao Yun didn't believe in evil, and walked directly within half a meter of the tree canopy, and then he saw him avoiding him awkwardly. On his branches, the leaves that seemed to be very vigorous started to turn yellow...　　

Xiao Yun quickly stepped back, and the half-yellow leaves finally stopped.

Xiao Yun: "...Wait, other people don't get close to this tree, come and call someone to call Oxhorn come to here!" 　　

"What's wrong?" Lan Guo thought Xiao Yun had discovered something wrong, and as an adult, he rushed over to stop him immediately in front of Xiao Yun.

Lan Guo didn't know the weirdness of the Blessing Tree. It came by directly rubbing the crown of the tree. The branches didn't mean to avoid him at all. When Lan Guo passed by, there was no wind and the leaves actively rubbed against Lan Guo.　　

Xiao Yun: "..." Turning his head to look at the surrounding clansmen, he greeted two casually.　　

The two clansmen wiped the crown of the blessing tree unconsciously, and the leaves were still very kind and peace... 　　

... Tens of thousands of harmonious beasts rushed past Xiao Yun's heart.[He was really shocked by this Tree!]　　

...The elves who stood not far away waiting to see the joke were shocked.
