Chapter 78: I seem to have found a group of fake elves (Part 1)
On the outskirts of Arnus city, among the mountains far away from the city wall
This is a peaceful and beautiful valley. A clear river flows around the valley. In the mountains surrounding the valley, there are countless rapid streams gurgling down and joining this nameless river. The rivers and streams are surrounded by lush green forests, which block out the sky and the sun. Maple trees, birch trees, oak trees, etc. have been connected to form a rolling sea of trees. The fresh and cool air blows through the forest canopy, and the leaves sway. It makes a rustling and sweet sound, like a slightly rippling green ocean. From time to time, you can hear the sweet chirping of birds, and occasionally you can see hares and foxes. In the open spaces among the forests, there are even woolly mammoths, moving slowly under the shade of trees, wandering and grazing leisurely.
In this green forest valley, there is a wonderful small village. Most of the buildings in the village are cabins built on the tops of trees, connected to each other by wooden bridges and rattan rope nets. The wooden platforms on many big trees are divided into several levels. Treehouses of various shapes stand on the platform, high and low, in a well-proportioned manner, showing a classical and fantasy mysterious beauty, and also full of wild charm.
All in all, Arnus City fully complies with the definition of "an elf settlement in the impression of earth people" and generously used the black technology props of the Doraemon world to build the above-mentioned new homes for the elf refugees who came to seek refuge. As one of the tourist attractions for tourists on earth.
In order to increase the interest, the relevant departments even raised mammoths that were finally collected here for tourists to watch and ride.
In Wang Qiu's opinion, such an authentic elf village full of green and environmentally friendly spirit should be able to satisfy the elves.
However, the high elves on the Falmat continent did not seem to appreciate it and were not very satisfied with the new home arranged for them by the outsiders.
"...This... Commander-in-Chief from another world, the high elves of our tribe really no longer live in tree houses! And you built us a village deep in the forest, with no fields or orchards around it. , and there are no minerals, what will we eat in the future? ”
An elf matriarch complained to Wang Qiu, "...We can't just rely on hunting, right? We are just a group of farmers. Only two little guys are better at bows and arrows, and the rest can at most use slingshots to shoot birds. . As for elven magic... I don't know about other places, but at least in our tribe, magic has been lost long ago. Otherwise, we would not have been forced to be serfs by the nobles of the empire... ”
Although the above-mentioned remarks of the elf matriarch have already made Wang Qiu embarrassed, her appearance is even more eye-catching to the people on earth - she is a young elf woman with a fleshy face, thick and thick eyebrows. , the gray hair looks like steel bars. Her skin was also quite rough, and the only evidence that she was an elf and not an ogre seemed to be a pair of pointed, long, and extremely wide elf ears.
It is said that the elves are slender and beautiful in appearance, and the average appearance of female elves is twice that of humans? I never thought you could be such an elf!
However, this elf matriarch, who looks like a pointed-eared ogre, is not the most wretched in appearance. Among the other elves who were preparing to move into their new homes, some were as tall as beer barrels, with chests full of muscles; some had green skin and stooped bodies, like goblins; some had weird pie faces, squinting eyes, and facial features. Super compact, she looks like a fairy who landed face first on the ground, or a Korean kimchi girl who forgot to have plastic surgery...
Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned "suspected elves" with crooked melons and cracked dates, the kind of handsome men and beauties with fair skin, slender figures, regular and handsome features, and long blond hair who are suitable to be the lovers of their dreams, are among the elf refugees who have come to seek refuge. Among them, there are still a few, but the proportion is not high, which is about the same as the proportion of handsome men and beautiful women among modern humans. Especially the two elf archers, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and strong, with piercing eyes, like a cheetah, while the woman is light in body, has a charming smile, and picturesque eyebrows. Although the clothes are a little shabby, the face is a little sallow, and the figure is a little thin, her hair and appearance are still taken care of very carefully, and her appearance is somewhat like that of a Hollywood star.
However, when Wang Qiu personally tested their "ancestral archery skills", he saw that they were struggling to pull the bowstring, and the arrows fell to the ground less than fifty meters after flying, and their accuracy was also disappointing—— In short, I feel that the shooting skills of these two elves are not as good as ordinary human mercenaries.
"...This...is this the so-called elven archer's magic shot? I wonder why it is so difficult to even shoot a rabbit? It's so outrageous!"
However, the two elven archers who claimed to be hunters also seemed aggrieved: "...Sir, since we came to Arnus Hill, your people have only given us elves vegetables and fruits to eat. We haven't eaten them for a long time. It’s too weak! I don’t have any strength in my hands, so I can’t shoot far!”
——Hey! You are elves! Aren’t all elves vegetarians and hating killing? How can you actively ask to eat meat?
"...Hey, elves want to be vegetarian? There has never been such a rule! Sir, if we can't eat meat, why are we hunting?"
Seeing the "caring for the mentally retarded" expressions on the faces of these two elven archers, Wang Qiu couldn't help but feel embarrassed and speechless for a moment.
——Oh, well, what you said does seem to make sense. But, how do I feel... I seem to have found a group of fake elves...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"...All in all, I feel like I have found a group of fake elves..."
On a hill not far from the Elf Tree House Village, outside the door of a marble column-style pocket temple, Wang Qiu sat next to Loli Mercurius, the sub-god who served the god of war Omorra, muttering. He complained like this, with a look of helplessness and frustration, "...living in an ordinary thatched house and wooden board In the room, the food is just ordinary bread, wheat porridge and bacon. Only a few hunters know how to shoot, and they are not particularly handsome... except for their pointed ears, they are no different from human farmers. Can they be considered elves? Should all elves be the darlings of the forest? ”
——This mini version of the Temple of Omorrah, which is only as big as a bus, is the temple of the Asian God Loli. Consider building a temporary residence specifically for her outside the city.
At the same time, this exquisite and small temple of Gomorrah is also an integral part of the "Elven Village Attractions": although in the minds of people on earth, Gomorrah, the god of war who is in charge of killing, has too negative a negative impression and seems to be different from the elves. This kind of "naturally peace-loving" creature with its own bright and kind attributes is a bit unmatched. But in fact, there is no separate elf pantheon in the Falmat continent. All the gods here, whether it is Gomora, the god of war, Handy, the lord of the underworld, Deldot, the god of covenant, or Palapan, the god of revenge, their believers and priests are all pan-ethnic.
In view of the social status quo of frequent conquests and constant wars on the continent of Falmat, as well as the influence of the militaristic spirit of the empire, even among "foreign people" such as elves, there are only a few followers of the God of War Gomorrah. Quite a few. Just like the ancient Middle East on earth generally believed in the goddess of war Ishtar, the ancient Roman Empire worshiped the god of war Mars, and the Chinese people regardless of ethnicity generally admired the god of war Chiyou.
At this time, the elves encountered a strange situation that was difficult to understand. Wang Qiu naturally ran to Yashen Loli's residence to inquire and inquire.
——As a super-elderly legal loli who has lived for nine hundred and sixty-one years, and a loyal priest who has traveled around the mainland for centuries, Miss Mercury is definitely far more knowledgeable about this kind of customs and customs than an outsider like Wang Qiu. Readers should have a better understanding and be better able to understand the various hidden secrets...
"...What's so strange about this? They are elven commoners living in the fiefdoms of the imperial noble lords, not the elven tribes and kingdoms in the forests at the foot of the snowy mountains in the north. Therefore, they can only be on par with their human masters in all aspects and cannot mess around. Once you have one set, you will get used to it over time.”
Yashen Loli, who was sitting on a stone bench with an ax gun, yawned and explained with a bored expression, "...just like there are differences between savages and civilized people among humans, the elves ruled by the empire, It is also different from the elven tribe that remains wild in the wild forest. No noble will like it. Barbarians who do not farm and despise the law will naturally not like the elves who are similar to the barbarians. And since humans can tame the most unruly orcs into slaves, they can also use whips and swords to force the elves to change their customs. To facilitate ruling and driving...
And the elves you are currently taking in are all refugees within the empire's territory. As inferior untouchables under the rule of the empire, they have naturally been forced to change their customs for many generations. They are not much different from human serfs... Of course, when it comes to elves, There is nothing wrong with being the darling of the forest. But in fact, rather than saying this is a gift from the gods, it is better to say that it is a restriction and curse imposed by the gods on the elves..."

PS: The Great Wall on the border between the United States and Mexico has not yet been repaired. Hungary is already building a second border wall to resist refugees. The descendants of the Huns will also build the Great Wall. Two more walls have been built. The Great Wall and the Outer Great Wall, it’s really ironic to think about it...
Regarding what kind of god Gomorrah is in "Fantasy Self-Defense Forces", it was first translated as the god of death and judgment, and later translated as the god of war. In short, as a novel reader, I was confused, so in order to follow the story about The difference between the appearance of Handy, the Lord of Hades, is that he should be set as the God of War! Anyway, the book is nearing the end, and there will be no more chance for Gomorrah to appear.
