771 The beckoning cat is really useful
Anturagun led his people through the city gate into the city of Wokin, and along the way, this human city shocked him quite a lot.
In his impression, human beings are dirty, and they do not bathe for tens, even decades, days. The aristocrats of many countries even think that bathing will wash away their luck, and at most they will wipe their bodies with a damp cloth every month, and when it stinks, they will cover it up with the fragrance of flowers or the secret perfume made by alchemists.
But when the smell and fragrance mix together, it creates an even stranger smell. This smell is generally not smelled by humans, but the elves can, after all, they have grown up with trees and flowers since childhood, and they are very familiar with the taste of nature.
Therefore, after several years of wandering in the human world, Anturagon returned to the forest, and he really did not want to be in the company of those filthy humans.
Only now, he found that the people in this city were very clean, even if they were poor, even if they were wearing patched clothes, not only were they clean, but their clothes were also clean.
The vast majority of the people in this city are believers in the Fortune God Cult.
The first of Beta's teachings is to pay attention to personal hygiene. When most people start to love cleanliness, then it will drive the atmosphere of the whole city, and then those who don't like to take a bath will become an outlier.
Another example is the mercenaries, because of the relationship between licking blood on the knife edge, most of them live a life of life and death, when they are alive, they will try their best to fight every minute and every second, for fear that the next second, they will die in the mission.
Bathing is quite a waste of time for them.
But here in Woking, they had to start to form a habit of bathing, because a dirty and smelly person was not willing to entertain at all, and they were quite angry when they set off, after all, in other places, they were like this, there was no reason not to be here, this was discrimination, it was looking down on us.
With such thoughts, they began to make trouble, and as a result, they were directly taught by the guards to be human beings, and dozens of mercenaries were thrown to the farmland near the temple for labor reform.
This frightened all the mercenaries.
Doing farm work, the mercenaries finally became professionals, just to stop being farmers, and now they are being watched by other people doing farm work, how humiliating it is.
It turns out that the mercenaries also want to be face-saving, and a labor camp let all the mercenaries know the seriousness of the law here.
Those mercenaries who have been 're-educated' for two months have become even more behaving in Wojin City.
Anturagun found that the city's streets were also clean, and it seemed that there were special people in charge of cleaning. It's similar to the elven city, but the people here seem more vibrant and energetic than they are.
The elves are comfortable and gentle, and to put it mildly, it is a leisurely life, and to put it badly, it is a dull and gloomy life.
After being arranged to stay in the Welcome Building, the head of the city did not summon them, and Anturagon was not in a hurry, he walked around the city every day and took a look.
The more I look at it, the more surprised I feel, this city has very strict laws, but the people here do not have the kind of trembling and frightened under the strict laws at all, but seem to be very relieved, and even say that they have a sense of trust in the city from the bottom of their hearts.
This was what he had seen on the first day, and on the second day, he came to the vicinity of the temple, originally to see how the priests of the Fortune God Cult were in spirit, but unexpectedly, he unexpectedly found his own people.
He was a little happy in his heart, there were many elves living in the human world, he thought that the other party was also like this, but after walking over, he found that the other party was a little different from them.
The elf was working in the fields, and when he got closer, he realized that his skin was a very special pale gold.
Half-elves, special half-blood elves?
As if sensing someone behind him, the elf who was squatting and weeding stood up, turned around, and when he saw Anturagon, he smiled slightly and said, "Clansman, where are you from?" ”
"Hello clansmen, I'm Anturagon and of course I'm from the Mother Tree."
After hesitating for a moment, the elf finally understood what Anturagon meant, and he smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't react. There is nothing wrong with that all the elves are children of the Mother Tree. ”
As the leader of the envoy group, Anturagon was very good in the study of interpersonal relations, the observation of faces, and the calculation of people's hearts. He was quite keenly aware of the blind spot in the elven words on the other side: "What do you mean, you haven't taken the mother tree in your eyes before?" ”
"More than 100 years ago, it was." The elf nodded, "Clansman, you can call me Heka." ”
"Heka, can you tell me what's going on?" Anturagon narrowed his eyes slightly: "You don't look like a half-elf, so I'm very interested in your idea." ”
Anturagon did not understand that there were pure elves other than half-elves, who did not respect their mother tree. And the skin of this elf is really strange, pale golden, white.
Elves have a talent for never getting tanned. They were born from the Mother Tree, and in essence, they are the embodiment of a tree in human form, has anyone ever seen a tree that will be tanned?
As if sensing the slight anger in Antu's heart, Heka also said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, clansman, I'm a beckoning cat, although I'm also an elf, but I'm a beckoning cat now." ”
Yes...... Lucky cat, what the hell is this.
Looking at Anturagon with a strange expression, Heka continued: "This is the name that the Pope gave us. Our family will be beckoning cats from now on. ”
Hearing this, Anturagon was already a little angry: "You mean, you are ready to break away from our elven clan. Still, why did the Pope of the Fortune God Cult change your name, and it's still such an ugly name. ”
"Because he gave us a new lease of life. Besides, the name of the beckoning cat is very good, and our whole clan likes it very much. Heka thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "I forgot to tell you that I used to be a drow elf, and the Pope rescued us from the power of the evil gods, and he gave us a new life, so he has the right to give us a new name." We're a whole new race. ”
These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they directly stunned Anturagon.
"You were originally a drow elf?" Anturagon slapped his face: "You just said, you guys? ”
Heka gestured back. At this time, another batch of 'beckoning cats' happened to come out of the church, some of which had not yet been completely transformed, and the black color of their bodies was obvious, but under the skin, there were already dark golden stripes. Others, although their skin is also darker, their overall skin tone is similar to that of Heka.
A comparison can clearly see that these clansmen should really be drow elves.
"How did you do that?"
Anturagun was incredulous. Naturally, they knew that the Drow Elves had once been their own people, but they had since fallen.
It's not that the elves haven't tried to find a way to turn them back, but they all failed.
Besides, against the original clansmen, they are not very easy to kill, and in the end, they simply can't see it.
But now, he saw something, a group of clansmen who were about to be transformed back, not one, but a group. This shows that the Cult of Fortune does have a means to transform the drow elves in large numbers.
Thinking of this, Anturagon no longer wandered around the city, but went directly back to the welcome building, and immediately brought the guards with him the requirements of meeting and negotiating.
Shirley originally wanted to dry the elf envoy group for two more days, but the other party kept sending requests to meet all day.
In such a hurry? Why did the elves send an anxious son to negotiate?
Shirley was a little puzzled, but the next day, she agreed to the request to meet. Because she felt that the other party was really anxious.
As long as the other party is anxious, then they have the upper hand, and there is no need to drag it out any longer.
The time of the meeting is at ten o'clock the next day.
The elven envoys came early, and Anturagon was stunned for a moment when he saw Shirley.
It's not that he was amazed by Shirley...... There are many beautiful women in the elf clan, and whether it is the World Tree or the Old Ancestor, her appearance is no worse than Shirley.
He was surprised that it was not the Pope who met with them.
As if she understood what Anturagon meant, Shirley explained: "Our Pope has important matters to deal with, and I can't get out in a short period of time, I am a holy woman of the Divine Cult, and I should be qualified to judge you equally." ”
It turned out that the saintess of the God of Wealth and Fortune Sect was Belin, but now that Belin has even given birth to a child, the identity of the saint is naturally lifted.
For the time being, Shirley will be in charge.
"We come with the will of the Queen and the Mother Tree, willing to coexist peacefully with your religion for mutual benefit." Anturagon suddenly changed his words and asked, "But there are some things I want to verify, your sect, can you transform the drow elves back to their original form?" ”
Shirley smiled slightly, Beta's expectation is about to come true so soon?
"Yes, it's one of the abilities that is unique to our Cult." Shirley smiled and said, "But they are no longer elves, but beckoning cats." ”
Anturagon shook his head: "This name is not good, or the forest elves are better." ”
"It doesn't matter the name." Shirley said slowly, "The important thing is that they can change back. Your Excellency Anturagon, let's talk about the alliance. ”
"How did you do that?"
"Let's talk about the alliance first!"
Anturragon took a breath helplessly and said, "We can pay some price, I hope you can teach us the method of transformation. ”
"I can't teach it, this needs the support of the divine power of the goddess Yunmen. The goddess of the forest that you elves believe in. Can't do it. Shirley shook her head: "Let's talk about the alliance first." ”
"Can't really teach?"
Anturagon was somewhat unconvinced.
