19. Buddies (1)
"Uh, I said...... Li Lin, can you change to a cleaner magic next time you fight?"
Thor's tone was more than just complaining, looking at the dry bacon jerky in his hand (note). The frowning eyebrows are almost indistinguishable from those of the air-dried strips of meat. Finally, with a long sigh, he shoved the jerky that could have been used to pad his stomach back into the bag of dry food.
A little hunger that had been built up was dispelled by the bacon. Although Thor had previously been troubled and embarrassed by the occasional feeling of fasting, Thor now began to miss the feeling that tempted him to sweep away almost anything he could eat, even a whole unsalted roast cow (Note 2).
At this moment, the smell of any meat food is a preservation that destroys Thor's appetite, not to mention the jerky made by his mother, it is the high-end cuisine made by the palace chef in front of him, and the big stomach king can't afford to rummage around it now.
"I have to say, that magic is disgusting. β
Following Thor's words, Tyr joins the group of complainants, and the elves, who also have no appetite, come together.
Everyone's appetite is over anyway, as for the deal...... Because of such a fierce emergency and Li Lin's overly exciting reality explosion show. Everyone in the market avoided them like a plague, and when they saw this group of stunned young people, they closed their stalls, covered their stalls, closed their windows, and the counterfeit money merchants also postponed their transactions for some reason. There is nothing to do, and I can't wander around to visit, and now complain and vent at least to kill time, and by the way, let the abdominal cavity rebuild hunger.
"I've seen corpses after being attacked by magic. ...... like you Belch...... I haven't even heard of it. β
Brunhill's face was very bad, and when he said [Body Explosion], he turned pale as if he was about to vomit. Unable to find other words to describe the strange situation she had seen for the first time, the elf girl had to suppress the sour taste that welled up in her throat and spit the nasty passage out of her mouth like a mouthful of disgusting spittle.
Like the other elves, she didn't want to think back to the terrible sight at all, even if it was just a few words that evoked associations.
The shattered corpses that have been chopped by the wind blade, the charred corpses scorched by lightning or flames, or the flying ashes flying in the wind are also cruel and terrifying, and they are also masterpieces of magic. But Li Lin's unnamed magic, the [Scorching Cauldron], which fully demonstrated his unnamed taste, was completely above ordinary attack magic.
A living person swelled like a pig's bladder that had blown too much air or filled too much water in front of everyone's eyes, and finally exploded everywhere with a bang.
Not only were the housekeepers and thugs who had jumped before scared away after being broken with flesh and blood, but many onlookers vomited on the spot.
People who have never seen that kind of scene will have some uncomfortable reactions after witnessing the whole process, which is a natural phenomenon and cannot be avoided. However, if they knew the jokes of "Human Bombs", "Paradise of Milk and Honey", and "72 Virgins", everyone would feel better at all, and maybe even worse.
The Searing Cauldron has raised the level of attack magic to a whole new level of proficiency and standards for blood, cruelty, and disgust, enough to put many competitors to shame. For a long time to come, I am afraid that there will be no magic that will be able to challenge that feared champion.
Li Lin didn't care about his outstanding contributions and achievements to the development of the culture of cruelty of the wisdom race, and many people and the government were obsessed with creating similar [feats], constantly going forward to break records or set new standards. But Li Lin is not a special person who is addicted to evil culture and cannot extricate himself, these honors and titles are destined to fail to attract his attention, let alone foolishly publicize how fierce he is in this kind of thing. ...,
He will only subtly justify his actions so that no one else will oppose him.
"I was dizzy, sorry. β
Some masks of helplessness and remorse showed no sign of casual lying, and then mixed in with a little lingering anger.
"But let me do it again, I'll do it anyway. If anyone accuses this of being cruel or sympathizes with that scumbag. It also asks him to share some of his sympathy with the innocent children who have been killed, whose bodies have been humiliated, who cannot rest after death, and the parents who are weeping with a skinless corpse. At least that's fair enough. β
Although they do not feel obliged and necessary to sympathize with unknown humans, it is undoubtedly blasphemy against the dead to express sympathetic remarks about scum, and the elves with pure nature will not make some remarks that confuse and reverse the most basic moral concepts because of their hostile relationship with humans.
"I'm not interested in the disputes of the human world, I just want to know what your magic is?"
The inquiry of lack of body and appetite jumped over the embarrassed elf, and Freya's slightly flushed face was facing Li Lin with a small anger, and the unhappiness of vomiting and not being able to swallow food turned into a real anger that radiated all around, and even her companions found it difficult to get close.
Li Lin shook his head and raised his index finger at the unhappy little wild cat.
"We are now in the sphere of human influence, and walking in the lair of the beast must be open with your eyes wide open, your ears pricked up to gather information, and watch out for any anomalies. This is an important matter of everyone's life, and it is not an inconsequential matter. In the future, we will continue to deal with the various forces of the human and the orcs, so it is best to get used to paying attention to the information of the human race as soon as possible, and at a certain time, some unremarkable information can determine the victory or defeat. β
A playful smile re-arranged on his face, and his middle finger stood up.
"As for that magic, I don't want to keep it a secret, and I'd like to explain it in detail. But I really didn't know where to start, and after thinking about it again, I decided-"
The elves held their breath as they watched as they waited for the draw to be drawn, like a group of gamblers who had taken the last copper to buy a fraudulent lottery ticket, staring at the slightly curved lips.
"I'll give you lessons every night when I go back, and you have so much to learn. β
Li Lin's tone was by no means just teasing, nor was it like a joke. After a moment of staring at the face that was absolutely serious and had no room for compromise, the elves realized that their brains were starting to hurt.
According to some self-righteous and discriminatory classification of urban and rural residents, elves, especially the younger generation of elves, are no different from the wild children of the countryside. Vulgar, barbaric, loud-talking, ignorant of rules and etiquette, and ...... have no concept of order.
Leaving aside the toxic rural-urban discrimination, rural teenagers are just more active, with a relatively direct mindset and an occasional tendency to use their fists rather than their brains and mouths to solve problems.
Let these active guys honestly put their butts on their chairs and listen to the teacher on the podium nagging for most of the night? With the exception of a few kids, who have been busy with farm work, hunting, and village defense during the day, they will definitely lie on the table and automatically go to sleep. The snoring was probably louder than the sound on the podium.
It's humorous and ironic, and the scene with more than an eighty percent chance of being realized can almost be pasted on top of Li Lin's teaching plan that looks good and strong, becoming a very appropriate label.
"It's not my own subjective opinion or problem. β
Li Lin's expression was very stern, and a frustrated voice interjected from the side. ...,
"Yes, that's our problem. β
Amber eyes slanted towards the big elven boy, and Thor, who was usually grinning, lowered his head, as if he had not yet escaped from self-blame and depression.
It was not because of interrupting Li Lin's speech, Li Lin had not yet established a superior-subordinate relationship called [authority] with this group of young men with strong self-esteem. The elven boys and girls admired his profound learning, admired his abilities and skills, and expected him to bring good changes to the village that had been cornered. But the little ones who are used to being casual are far from Cheng DΓΉ, who puts what Li Lin said in the first place, at most they are temporarily obedient.
Torr will fall into a state of loss, probably because he thinks that he has not been able to clean up the scum thugs with his own hands, and the director Li Lin not only personally uses unappetizing magic to clean up the mess, but also believes that the elves need to receive education and supplement knowledge, and formulates and decides to implement the [Night School Knowledge Completion Plan].
[Subtle deviations. γ
It's not a self-inflicted affair with Thor, it's just the idea that the sense of responsibility is too strong and that the priorities of others are linked to one's own failures. Li Lin made an apt and objective comment.
The matchup between Thor and Jolly was not planned, and there was no winner. But the match itself was a success, and whether he won or lost, a young Thor and the Enhancement Mage fought without losing the upper hand, and even had the advantage for a whileβa heroic act that could be classified as Legendary. There were also a lot fewer unkind eyes at them in the bazaar. In addition to the factors of Li Lin's brutal performance, Thor's courage is also indispensable.
It was not a good idea to let such a thankless Thor be depressed, Li Lin changed to a milder tone and lowered his voice and said:
"I want to say that the class is not for yourselves, but for the sake of the village, or even the elves as a whole. β
The sounding sound in the discourse is still a secondary matter, and [for the sake of planning] is the real core. Li Lin's deep expression and tone succeeded in concealing the core of the impossible to speak, and at the same time laid out the reasons why the teenagers were most concerned and least likely to refute him.
"Today's events are obvious to all, the problem of ignorance of the rules, customs, and combat effectiveness of human society has been completely exposed, and the loopholes that even the most basic common sense of magic have been successfully fooled by the blessing of [country wild children] as a cover, but, gentlemen, ladies-"
The tone became more severe, and the amber eyes of the elves who were sitting in danger or Hao Yan lit up with a stern warning.
"We can't always be lucky, we don't deal with problems when we find them, and we let them accumulate, and sooner or later all the problems will erupt together. This is definitely not a good thing when the enemy is still strong, but our side has not yet established the minimum ability to protect itself. It is precisely because of such a dangerous situation that I mentioned the evening study to discover, discuss, and correct mistakes, so that we can at least make the construction and development of the village more smooth. β
Each elf, including the youngest Freya, nodded solemnly and lowered their voices, "Yes (Ja)." "Echoes in a range that can only be heard in small circles.

Commentary on the time of the small theater
Nidhogg: Lord Lilin, may I ask why the dry food that the elves carry is cured jerky?
Li Lin: Of course there is bread, but the problem is that it is not broken and cooked with soup. Only a shark's sharp, jagged teeth can nibble on that thing.
Nidhogg: I'm a dragon, so there's nothing wrong with that, but I still have to ask, is the bread that terrible, and what is the taste of the cured jerky?
Li Lin: The bread eaten by Europeans in the Middle Ages is not the same thing as the fluffy bread that has been fermented and added with white sugar and cream to our modern people, but is a kind of unleavened cake similar to a compressed biscuit, which is dry, hard and cracked. In the Middle Ages in Europe, there were many unproductive and stupid thieves who sneaked into the homes of poor peasants to steal, but unfortunately died under the black bread of housewives...... You can imagine for yourself how hard it is. Cured jerky should actually be called air-dried meat, and the method of making zuΓ² is to dry the meat in the north wind and mummify it. Air-dried meat can be preserved for a long time, and it can be eaten if it has been stored for decades (if you don't die if you eat it). Before eating aged air-dried meat, hang it with a knife to remove the grease and oxide layer on the surface. Then soak in the river water for a day or two, then cook and eat. The taste can only be said to be immortal.
Nidhogg: What a horrible dark dish! And Thor said that whole beef is roasted without salt, what is the matter?
Li Lin: Although it is next to the sea, the price of salt in Europe is very high, and in some places it is even higher than that of salt under the monopoly of the Chinese government at the same time. For example, the appearance of the Nordic famous product: stinky canned herring is because of the saving of salt. At that time, some families in Europe did not even have access to salt.
Nidhogg: Thank you, Lord Lilin, for your explanation.
