Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Elven Empress's Gift
"Boss, are you here?" Seeing that the annoying elf had gone, Pu Haolong hurriedly took out the chat conch and contacted the old man of artificial intelligence.
"Yes, boy, what's wrong? What's the trouble? ”
"Isn't this a puzzle-solving quest and let me answer the verses about the Elven Empress, can you help me see how this quest should be answered?" Pu Haolong hurriedly asked, he wanted to find the answer to the question before the elf came back, if the elf saw it, he didn't know what the moth was.
"Okay, I'll help you take a look~~ Yes, this task is a poem, and the solution to the task is to answer the poem that a friend gave to the empress, but this seems really difficult, let me look for it, there is: new ghosts and ghosts are noisy, and wildfire phosphorus trees are shadowed.
The day seems to relieve people and parting from suffering, and the clear light is reduced to a hook and oblique. ”
Pu Haolong looked at this sentence speechlessly, if it weren't for the prompt of the old man of artificial intelligence, how could he know such an answer, isn't this just a joke, if he is allowed to guess by himself, when can he guess? This is simply blind, it seems that if it weren't for the help of the old man of artificial intelligence, he wouldn't want to get the elven queen's task reward.
"Thank you, boss, I see."
"Hey, you kid, pay attention, it's done this time, come and do the task, there are a few tasks waiting for you here, and besides, this task point is owed a lot, plus the task points required this time, let me calculate it for you."
"Stop, boss, you stop quickly, I know, send this annoying elf away, I'll go to you to pick up the task, you don't forget it, try to clear all the tasks you owe in one breath this time, it's okay."
"Haha, I'm just waiting for your words, you kid has to work hard for me, okay, you go find the elf quickly, and come to me after handing in the task."
"Okay, boss."
After Pu Haolong finished contacting the old man of artificial intelligence, he asked Fei Erbai, "How is the population recently?" ”
Fei Erbai knew that Pu Haolong was asking about the population on the other side of the castle, so he nodded and said: "Well, at present, the population of our human race is not enough, there is still a gap of about two hundred people, I also want to tell you, is the tax rate adjusted, but if the tax rate is adjusted, then the funds in the territory will soon be insufficient." ”
Pu Haolong smiled bitterly, this is also a matter of no choice, who let him recruit a legendary hero, and now he can only pay a high salary, it seems that this time after clearing the task points owed by the old man of artificial intelligence, he still has to consider getting a place to make money, otherwise the territory will go bankrupt because of lack of financial support, it will be fun.
"Well, then let's lower it, now it's more important for the territory to be upgraded to the town level, if the population is not enough, you can only adjust the tax rate through guò, as for the elf territory, the population can only see what good things the elf queen can give this time, it's better to make up all the population at once, it's good."
"Speaking of which, by the way, how did you do with that elf mission, Lord Lord? Do you want me to mobilize the residents in the territory to think about this issue together, after all, this is related to the development of the barrier side of the territory. ”
Pu Haolong smiled and said: "Well, it's almost, this time I want this elf to take a good look at what intelligence is, and let him see the strength of our territory." ”
"Well, okay, Lord Lord, I already saw that elf was not pleasing to the eye, if he didn't represent the elf empress, I would have torn him up a long time ago, looking at his surprised appearance, it must be very exciting."
When the elf was called back again, he looked at Pu Haolong very dissatisfied, maybe he was very unhappy about disturbing him and the beautiful Lan Nonuo, but Pu Haolong didn't pay attention to his idle time, and said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Messenger, I think you have an answer to the task of the lord, I don't know if you want to listen to it now?" ”
"What?! There is an answer so soon, Lord Lord, you don't need to be in such a hurry, as long as you can treat me well, I may be able to give you more time to prepare questions, as long as you can let this young lady next to you accompany me more. ”
Lan Nuono didn't speak, she looked at Pu Haolong pitifully, as if Pu Haolong had abandoned her, obviously she didn't want to accompany this envoy from the elven kingdom.
Pu Haolong looked at the other party's appearance, very depressed, this Lan Nuonuo's vivid expression brought a resentful woman to life, if he really did this, he wouldn't say anything, but he didn't know this Lan Nuonuo for more than a day, the other party turned out to be like this, people who don't know still think he really has anything with Lan Nuonuo?
Pu Haolong, who shook his head, said: "Don't be so troublesome, after all, you have been out of the Elf Kingdom for so long, and I don't want to let you go back again, so it's better to answer your question." ”
"Hmph, I don't know what to do, boy, in that case, then okay, you say, I want to see if you have any questions that this kid can answer, explain in advance, if you don't answer well, I won't accommodate you." The elf regained his original appearance and snorted disdainfully, he didn't think that the other party could answer the question of the lord in front of him.
"I remember the last sentence was
Du Yusheng is going back, there is no grass at the end of the world.
Spring goes to spring, and the streamer urges people to get old.
Then I'm right for the next sentence
New ghosts are roaring, and wildfires are shadowed by phosphorus trees.
The day seems to relieve people and parting from suffering, and the clear light is reduced to a hook and oblique. ”
"What? What did you kid say? You actually answered the Elven Empress's verses, impossible, you kid wouldn't know the Elven Empress's letters, otherwise how could you answer this question so accurately. The elf looked at Pu Haolong with wide eyes, he didn't believe that the other party could really answer this question, there must be something wrong, or else the hillbilly lord on the other side had some trick.
Fei Erbai reprimanded angrily: "Elven envoy, please pay attention to your words, you represent the elven empress, you speak like this, you are suspicious of our lord, may I ask what evidence do you have?" At the same time, as the keeper of the Empress's letters, will you leak the contents of them? ”
The elf was scolded by Fei Erbai, and he also understood what inappropriate words he had said, and hurriedly smiled: "Lord Lord, I lost my words just now, I hope it won't affect the friendship between us." ”
Pu Haolong shook his head and smiled: "Of course, elven envoy, we didn't hear anything just now?" I just don't know what kind of assistance you have given us on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress this time? ”
Pu Haolong said this with two meanings, one is to say that the friendship between the two parties has coexisted for a long time, and it will not be affected by the messenger's words, and at the same time, he is also telling the elf messenger in front of him, it is best to come up with something that satisfies him, otherwise, the gaffe just now will sue the elf empress.
The elf envoy listened to Pu Haolong's words, and also understood what the other party meant, although he was very dissatisfied with the small coercion of the lord in front of him, but since the other party could forgive himself for right and wrong, then it was nothing to give the best gift that the elf queen brought this time to the other party.
The elven envoy nodded and said, "Of course, this time the elven queen in view of the lord's outstanding contribution to the elven clan, and because of the successful planting of the tree of life in your territory, she will specially reward you with a centaur tribe, 100 wood elves, 200 dwarven craftsmen, a primary life tent, and a ballista." This is the Elven Empress's greatest reward, and I hope you will be satisfied, my lord. ”
Listening to the story of the elven messenger in front of him, the system prompt in his ear also came, and on the whole, there was no difference from this, and all of a sudden, the entire fortress clan castle was replenished with 500 people, which has met the requirements of upgrading the town.
However, he did not give the corresponding training base, which means that he still needs to make up those basic training bases, so that he can completely develop the territory of the barrier clan, but the population problem that he is worried about now is no longer a problem, which can be assured.
The elven envoy looked at the lord in front of him and did not react, thinking that he was not very satisfied with his words, so he endured his anger and continued: "I will send you an architectural drawing of the human stables in your territory in the name of a private person, this is the biggest gift I can do, I don't know if the lord can do this?" ”
Pu Haolong nodded with a smile and said: "Of course, Lord Lord, blame me for being a little greedy, I am very satisfied with these conditions, thank you Elf Empress for these supports in my territory, as a lord of the territory, I am very happy, welcome to your next visit." ”
After speaking, he made a gesture to Fei Erbai to see off the guest, and sent away the elf messenger who was still reluctant to say something to Lan Nuonuo, but when the elf messenger was about to leave, she turned back to Lan Nuono and asked if she would like to go together.
Of course, this was unceremoniously rejected by Lan Nuonuo, looking at the elf messenger who had been sent away, Pu Haolong looked at his barrier territory with a smile, and a large number of elves could be stationed here, but at this moment, Lan Nuonuo on the side leaned forward with a smile on his face, and said coquettishly: "Lord Lord, why haven't you shown up since the last time you recruited the Lun family, this makes the Lun family so worried, how can you be so ruthless?" ”
Pu Haolong hurriedly flashed to the side, looked at Lan Nuonuo and said with a smile: "I've been busy lately, by the way, Nuonuo, when Fei Erbai comes back, you tell him that I have something to do first, let him watch the affairs of the territory." ”
Lan Nuno stood pitifully, looked at Pu Haolong with tears in his eyes and said, "Could it be that Lord Lord is so busy?" Do you want the Lun family to go with you? It's good to have a response. ”
