Chapter 948: Bloodline Theory

The grand scene of the moonlight hanging down the light curtain is a strange story for the whole continent. No matter humans, dragons or wood elves, they all witnessed the strange phenomenon in the sky that night. However, most people didn't understand what this meant. After being called up to look at the moon, Village Chief Brody just shook his head: "The weather is really weird."

The study of the sky in this era is not deep, and people can't figure out what is in the sky at all. The few magicians who can fly only leave a simple summary such as "difficulty breathing" and "cold". And the wood elves obviously don't know how far the moon is from the ground. As for the angle from which the light curtain is emitted and what it means, they don't bother to explore.

Nata was seriously injured and transferred to Hollier City, which made Village Chief Brody feel a little worried. He vaguely knew that Nata should have made a mistake in performing a mission in the forest, but he didn't ask much about what was behind this incident—Brudy knew very well that the current situation in his village was due to Bairo Given by Di, the only thing he has to do is to guard the village of Elsa.

Rody hasn't sent any information these days, and Brody doesn't know what's going on with Nata. Hugo came over to ask a few times and he just said "it'll be fine". But when Nata was taken away by the horned elf, the situation was very bad. The village chief, who had experienced countless winters, understood that in this case, being disabled was the best result.

But no matter how worried, life in Elsa Village has to go on. After waking up, Brody looked at the sunlight outside the window, got up and began to wash, and then planned to purchase supplies from other villages.

Elsa Village is currently the largest village of the wood elves in the Silent Whispering Forest open to the outside world. In addition, there are two other villages with trading points. At the same time, although there are no human caravans in the five wood elf villages deeper in the past, Brody will regularly bring things to them to exchange supplies—often with The food for the winter, such as dried meat and wheat flour, is exchanged for some animal skins and bones, and self-brewed fruit wine. In this way, the death rate of the wood elves in winter will be much lower.

This kind of thing is related to the life and death of the ethnic group. Brody has a kind heart and has always done it very seriously. But just after breakfast, he saw a wood elf knocking on the door anxiously.

"Gotel, how many times have I told you that three knocks are enough."

Brody knew that Gortelle was impatient, so he didn't think there was any real emergency on the other side. But when he opened the door, the wood elf was sweating and said quickly, "The village chief... Bando and Boozer have been beaten back!"

"Call back? What do you mean?"

This made Brody puzzled. Both Bando and Boozer are the current "escort captains" in the village. They are only responsible for escorting the goods to those wood elf villages to exchange things. If they want to fight, they must fight against monsters.

"They just came back and got injured several times. Bando's arm seems to be broken. It is said that Village Chief Atwood beat him..."

After Gothaire finished speaking, Brody's face darkened immediately, he pushed the door open and walked out without asking any further questions. At this time, a group of people had gathered around the entrance of the village, and Brody saw the escort team members in leather armor sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment from a long distance away. They should have run back all the way. Not only were their bodies covered in dirt and blood, but they were also described as messy. Captain Bando's arms were wrapped in crude bandages, and his face was full of distorted expressions of pain.

"What's going on? Bando, why did Atwood hit you?"

Brody asked directly after dispersing the crowd of onlookers.

"The village chief, he, he said that we are depraved wood elves who have long forgotten our roots..."

"Fucking fart!" Brody immediately yelled: "Since when did the wood elves engage in the theory of bloodlines? They are not high elves, and they don't know arcane arts. Did they suddenly get hit by a moose?! "

Seeing Ban Duo's wound, he hurriedly cast natural spells to treat it, and at the same time asked people to bring several bottles of healing potions—this was actually a "show" element, because the injuries of Ban Duo and others were not too serious. In fact, you can recover without drinking the healing potion.

But Brody is no longer the simple village chief. In the past two years, the population of the village under his management has increased dramatically. How can he manage the situation without some means?

After scolding and treating the wounded soldiers favorably, Brody achieved multiple goals. He bought people's hearts and showed the wealth of the wood elf village to the human merchants. At the same time, he did not forget to say: "Report this matter to the Prime Minister." ! This group of ungrateful guys, in exchange for so many supplies, ended up dealing with our elves in Elsa Village like this?"

This sentence also reveals the relationship between him and Rody, and those who hear it will naturally weigh whether they have the ability to make trouble here.

"The village chief, not only the village chief Atwood, he also said that several other villages have now formed an alliance and are no longer open to trade..."

Ban Duo's voice became smaller and smaller, Brody's eyes twitched, and he said "yes" three times in a row, then turned around and said to the people watching: "Did you hear that!? I don't need to go to those villages in the future, the whole winter , only Elsa Village in Jingyu Forest is open to trade with everyone! Please inform each other of the caravans you are familiar with, and save yourself a trip for nothing!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, letting the Efta infantry who had heard the news to disperse the crowd and move away the injured wood elf.

Back in his own room, Brody's face became even more gloomy. Because the tone of these villages is so similar to that of the former head of Barty, the wood elves have never heard of anyone who advocated the "blood theory" in the Silent Whispering Forest for so many years. After all, everyone can't even eat enough. It is a good thing that no one dies in winter, and now a strange species suddenly appeared, which is naturally suspicious.

Brody suspects that the village chief Batty is secretly uniting people from other villages to fight against him. But the question now is... How much did he pay to let these village chiefs have a good life and hang out with the poor Batty?

December is approaching, and the weather has reached the coldest season. However, in the city of Houlier, the streets were not as sparsely populated as in previous years. The trade area in the city is still full of people during the day, because the roads are smooth and the snow is maintained. Although the road section between Houllier City and the Temple is closed due to heavy snow, the original commercial transportation system of Efta still maintains efficient operation. , which makes the people in the city far richer in supplies than in previous years.

Everyone found that the price of goods in winter has not dropped much, and there are many more types that can be purchased than before. Because jobs are being recruited everywhere, many people who used to be able to find odd jobs other than farming have stable jobs. After their wages are paid, many people who often go hungry find that they can afford to buy food for the winter without knowing it, and they are better off. Yes, you can even buy a warm leather jacket.

The value of gold coins has not changed much, but the per capita wealth has increased invisibly. Those with smart minds understand what this means, so those "opinion leaders" who were still opposed to the cabinet before now have no basis to wave their flags - everyone is living a better life than before, Why object?

The situation is becoming more and more stable, and the Karen Kingdom has ushered in a period of slow development. The Duke's Mansion in the city has not undergone much renovation, and it has become a decoration now, because Her Majesty Sally I has moved her office to Hull. Inside the Kino Tower. Here, not only does she not have to worry about personal safety, but she can also keep in touch with the cabinet thousands of miles away at any time through the remote communication circle.

Compared with Charles II, Sally I is far less particular about her personal life. Her life is simpler now than when she was a duke—the Herchino Tower is not only the residence of her king, but also the king. Members of the Bailong tribe "rehabilitate" in it. This allowed "Sally I"'s status among the people to rise sharply: after all, no king in history stayed with so many dragons and worked together.

The new barbarians from the glacier plain looked at the city and the tower, each with a look of bewilderment. The mercenaries who were going to the Silent Whispering Forest were talking about the treasures in the ruins in the bar, dreaming of making a lot of money for it.

People were making noise around the stove, but they didn't know that the situation inside the Herchino Tower was not much different from them.
