Chapter 181 The deal with the elves

The speaker was a very young-looking silver-haired elf boy. He wrapped the reins around his right arm, and installed a crossbow in his left hand. The shape was very familiar to Dudley, and it was similar to the weapon of the demon hunter Diana. place.

Some of the other elf knights were holding bows and arrows, and some were holding silver spears. From Dudley's eyes, these weapons were all glowing with light, and they must have been enchanted.

Thinking about it, these demi-human creatures must have had a very unhappy life in the Wasteland Continent. Compared with the magical world on Earth, the entire natural environment of the Wasteland Continent has suffered a devastating blow. The elves who stayed in the interior can only survive in the human world. struggling to survive in the cracks of power.

But since their population has continued and they still have their own towns, it proves that these elves must have the ability to protect themselves and are not afraid of human armies and wilderness monsters.So don't look at them holding ancient spears and bows, they may be frighteningly powerful.

The father walked up to him with small steps, a very philistine smile on his wrinkled face, and holding a thin piece of gold in his hands, he approached the elf boy.

"Dear elves, we are travelers lost in the forest. Please kindly ask the kind elves to allow us to make some supplies." Dad said in a very humble tone.

On the way here, Dad had a brief chat with Dudley. It’s not that the elves are all born arrogant, but in the wasteland or the magical world, these demihuman races are only a minority in the entire society, while humans are everywhere. In every corner of the world, no race can be isolated from the world and unaffected by humans. Their living space has been greatly squeezed by humans.

In contact with humans, these demi-humans have low self-esteem and fragile hearts. Many inadvertent behaviors of humans will arouse strong reactions from the demi-humans. For example, the centaurs in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts have clearly declined to the verge of decline. Even though their race has been exterminated, they still hold on to their pride. If you talk to them without adding "honorable" or "respected" in front of them, you are disrespectful to them, and you are likely to fight with them.

The metal piece in the father's hand is a gold Galleons pressed into a thin sheet, which is more in line with the appearance of gold excavated in the wasteland continent. Gold, no matter which world it is in, is hard currency, and the elves also need gold to fight with Human merchants exchange supplies.

There was a trace of contempt in the eyes of the elf boy, but when he saw that his father had been transformed into a mechanical arm, he did not doubt their identity. After all, in the Iron Lion Principality, known as the country of machinery, such semi-mechanical transformations of human beings are not possible. All of them are, but a person with sound limbs like Dudley seems a bit different to them.

Dudley regained his image as an English curly boy, wearing a tattered desert cloak and looking harmless. Otherwise, his black hair was as eye-catching as the oriental youth's face.

The elf boy looked at the gold piece in his father's hand, hesitated slightly, and raised his nose at a female elf soldier beside him. The soldier withdrew his spear, rode forward, and took the gold piece from his father's hand. When I took the photo, I was very careful not to touch my father's metal palm, which seemed to be covered with bacteria or viruses.

With the gold clearing the way, even though the whole team of elves showed disgust and hostility towards them, they still led them into the city of Biqibal after searching them to make sure they were not carrying weapons.

Although the city was built by elves, it seemed to be rebuilt on the ruins of an abandoned human town. Although the houses were made of mud and wood and had natural characteristics, the entire town still had the shadow of human civilization.

The city wall is less than ten meters high and is made of dark stones. The collapsed parts are filled with thick wooden boards. There are about one or two hundred elven soldiers on one wall, but they are not like those in the God-given city. City defense artillery, not to mention the anti-aircraft artillery equipped with Yamaguchi Fortress.Dudley felt that if the elves didn't have any special fighting abilities, just one Spitfire could destroy this town with a radius of about 800 meters.

There were many elves and civilians in the city, but because they were all very short, Dudley felt as if he had walked into a Hobbit town.

The person who received them was an old elf man with long silver braids. The female elf soldier respectfully handed the gold piece to the old man. The old man nodded, and his followers immediately accepted the gold.The elven soldiers glanced at the two of them coldly, bowed their heads and retreated.

Dudley admired the "clean government" of the elves very much. If this was a human town, would the city gate tax be paid in full?nonexistent!

The old man walked up to his father, with a kind look on his face, and said in a very soft voice: "Lost human travelers, I am Elder Tashi of the Elf Tribe, what do you want to buy? The Elf Tribe's food is also very tight this year. "

Dudley understood that this old man was the elf official in charge of foreign trade in Bichibal City. Judging from the attitude of the soldiers, Elder Tashi's status in the city was not low. If he had to personally receive every caravan entering the city, I'm afraid his calf will break.This also proves that few humans come to trade on their own initiative.

Dudley observed that there were not many things that the elves could sell, most of which were relatively rudimentary agricultural products, handicrafts, animal furs, herbs and the like.

In the past few days of fighting, the resistance fighters had suffered many casualties. Although in the past, living in the desert, minor injuries were basically carried by force. If the limbs were seriously injured, most soldiers could only have their limbs amputated.Both Dad and Yaosong had poor medical skills and were forced to modify their limbs. Two-thirds of people would bleed to death during the process of limb modification.

But after all, Dudley was there, and several seriously injured soldiers were saved by Dudley's healing magic, so the soldiers supported Dudley even more.

"Dear Elder Tashi, we need to purchase some herbs, fruits and clothes, so we don't dare to disturb the peace of the elves too much." The father knelt down humbly on one knee and looked at the level of Elder Tashi.

"Come with me, one ounce of gold can be exchanged for a lot of supplies." Elder Tashi said with a smile, obviously very satisfied with his father's attitude.

The two followed Elder Tashi and walked through a narrow street. To the north of the town, there was a lush orchard, guarded by dozens of elf soldiers, which seemed to be taken very seriously. These trees were far greener and denser than the woods outside the city. , full of vitality, fist-sized red or yellow fruits can be seen among the green leaves. The flesh is plump, making people very appetizing just looking at it.

"These are the morning light fruits of the elves. I can give you some." Elder Tashi said cheerfully, "You can try them first."

He gestured to his attendant, and a young attendant quickly climbed up the fruit tree and picked two fruits. However, when he handed them to his father and Dudley, his face was full of reluctance.

When Dudley got it, he saw that it was indeed extraordinary. Although it looked similar to ordinary fruits from a distance, when he got it in his hands, he realized that the Morning Sun Fruit was emitting a soft shimmer, just like the morning sun, warm and comfortable.

Dad couldn't wait to put it into his mouth, and wiped out the fruit in two or three mouthfuls. Dudley took a bite carefully. The taste of the fruit was very special, exuding a fresh floral fragrance, which made people feel relaxed and happy.The flesh is tender and juicy, with a silky and delicate texture that seems to contain the essence of nature, filling his mouth with the sweetness of the fruit and the fragrance of flowers.

The system also sent him a message: [Obtained the specialty of the elves of the Wasteland Continent: Morning Light Fruit (D-level ingredient), which can be eaten directly. If consumed for 10 consecutive days, it can increase strength by 1 point and agility by 2 points (the only effect). ]

Not only was it delicious, it was actually an ingredient that could directly improve physical attributes. Dudley was immediately interested.

"Dear Elder Tashi, this kind of fruit is very delicious. Can you provide us with more? Speaking of that - metal pieces, we can also provide some." Dudley pretended not to understand very well and said. .

"Ha, lost travelers, don't be too greedy. I'll let them pick 20 for you. It also represents the goodwill of the elves." Elder Tashi said.

The expressions of the followers on the side changed on the spot, and they whispered: "Elder... this..." It was as if the 20 fruits had caused them huge losses.

"It's okay," Elder Tashi said, letting the gardener in the orchard pick fruits while leading the way to the other side.

Walking through an alley, in front of me is a huge greenhouse, more than five meters high, with nearly ten floors of plants planted on wooden shelves, some sparse, some lush, with hundreds of varieties, a dazzling array of plants. , Dudley knew at a glance that it was an herb cultivated by elves.He glanced around and found a lot of raw materials for potions, and he couldn't help but wonder more about the relationship between the Wasteland Continent and the Earth.

After Elder Tashi selected some herbs to stop bleeding and heal wounds, he finally took Dudley and the two to a small workshop. Inside, there were many elven women cutting furs and cloths, sewing clothes and leather armors, and the entourage was The taller Da Li measured the size and gave the order.

Dad calculated it and found out that one gold coin was exchanged for 22 fresh morning fruits, more than ten kilograms of herbs, and more than ten leather jackets sewn by elves. It was a profit no matter how you looked at it. Seeing Elder Tashi being so generous and enthusiastic, Dudley once again sent a piece of gold as a thank you, but Elder Tashi said that he could not provide more supplies. The elves emphasized an exchange of equal value and were unwilling to accept more property.

Dudley scratched his head and thought that he should send Phoenix to Elder Tashi to learn what integrity management means.

The elven women were very efficient. In less than two hours, their goods were packed into strong rattan baskets and delivered to the two of them.Elder Tashi also tactfully issued an eviction order. Not only did he not invite them to stay overnight, he even refused to allow them to eat a meal in the city.

The two had no choice but to carry the rattan baskets on their backs and walked out of the city under the "escort" of a group of elven soldiers.

Seeing the short city gate right in front of him, Dudley suddenly heard the roars of some wild beasts. Looking along the sound, he saw a small paddock not far away. There was no city wall there, and it was made of tall wood. On the fence, you can vaguely see groups of strange beasts inside.
