Chapter 179
Chapter 179
After changing his clothes, Chi Yan followed Kleist on the road to the mountain.
It is said to "step on", but in fact it is to find a hidden place and let Kleist fly with him.
Chi Yan huddled in Kleist's arms, trying to make herself smaller.
The night wind blew past his ears, causing a slight sting. There were no clouds in the sky tonight, the moonlight was like water, and the stars were shining brightly. Chi Yan leaned his head on Kleist's chest, listening to Kleist's heartbeat.
Kleist's heartbeat was slower than that of the human race, and Chi Yan always had to count to two before he could hear Kleist's heartbeat.
Chi Yan raised his head, but he could only see Kleist's chin, so he retracted again.
Momma's tree house is in the center of the elf gathering place, and it is also the largest, but it still looks simple. After all, it is very good to build a tree house in the wild, and there are no conditions for decoration.
But the construction is still very careful. There are suspension bridges between the tree houses, and rattan frames are hung on the branches. In order to deter wild beasts, there are also special torches made by the elves.
Every hour or so, elves will come out to check the night, so as not to catch fire and cause a fire.
Kleist took Chi Yan to the branch, and then flapped his wings lightly, and placed Chi Yan at the door of Momma's tree house. Chi Yan is still very gentlemanly, and he can't just break in when he visits at night. Go, let alone a female elf living inside, even a male elf can't force his way in, so he knocked on the door of the tree house.
He knocked three times, but the mother inside was very alert, and Chi Yan heard the sound of her turning over.
After a while, a woman's voice came from inside, and she seemed to be standing by the door: "Who?"
Chi Yan was polite: "I am the lord of Stettin, and I would like to discuss with you the possibility of your tribe moving to Stettin. You can make another appointment."
The person inside the door should be thinking, after a moment of silence, the door opened.
With a smile on his face, Chi Yan tried his best to look like a gentle and good person. He originally had a small face, and he took advantage of it when facing men, women and children.
Mommy also saw Chi Yan, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
Muma is tall, she can be about 1.8 meters, but the proportion is very good, she will not look like a man, and she will not look like a big fool.
Mu Ma turned sideways slightly and let Chi Yan in: "Come in and sit down."
Chi Yan walked in, and Kleist was standing on the branch next to him. Chi Yan was not worried that he would be in danger. Even if Kleist was not there, he still had talents and skills, so he would not fall into danger.
Muma opened the window of the tree house to let the moonlight shine in, lit the torch, sat on the animal skin, and compared the animal skin opposite her generously.
Chi Yan sat down calmly, but he still had some regrets in sitting in a bold posture like his mother's.
"Let's talk." Mu's mother didn't play an official role with Chi Yan, and said, "Why do you want us to go there?"
Mother: "The elves have not mixed with the human race for so many years, and the human race is still living well. You don't need us."
Chi Yan was a little curious: "Just let me in like this, so I won't be afraid..."
Mom said with a straight face: "At this time, you can appear quietly at my door without disturbing others. You are not the lord of Stettin, so I can only try to solve it myself. If you If it's the lord of Stettin, then you may come with an army, and you don't need to talk to me at all."
Chi Yan gave Muma a thumbs up in his heart. When someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night, he could calmly analyze it in just a few seconds.
Maybe this has something to do with the racial habits of the elves.
Muma glanced at the night outside the window and sighed leisurely.
Chi Yan said: "Bao'er should have told you after he came back, Stettin, to be precise, all the towns under my rule are mixed with different races. In addition to the human race, there are also goblin dwarves and tauren. Ced and elves, do you know Sacked?"
Only then did Mu Ma say seriously: "I've heard of it."
To be precise, all the elves in this area have heard of Saked, because Saked is different, and there is a group of elves living in Saked.
They can get along with other races unexpectedly.
But because those elves were all elves who had been captured by others, even if some elves were tempted, they would not dare to go there.
It's just that Saked is there, and the elves living in Saked are also there. Occasionally, the elves will take a look around quietly.
But more, they dare not do it.
After all, the mother of every elf tribe is responsible for dozens, even hundreds of lives of a tribe.
They can't lead the clansmen on an uncertain path because of a momentary impulse. If they go wrong, they may be lost forever.
No one knows whether the road ahead is glorious and smooth, or the abyss of hell.
Chi Yan: "Saked is under my rule."
Mommy's eyes softened a little: "I heard that Saket is very good."
Chi Yan suddenly said: "I know why you dare not communicate with the human race. The human race will capture you, enslave you, and treat you like livestock, and no matter how powerful you are individually, when you face a large number of human races, you have no one at all." The power of battle."
Chi Yan: "But the more you hide, the more you fall behind. What kind of fabric are you using now? What kind of loom are you using? What are you eating? Have you walked the stone-paved road? Have you ever sat in a carriage? Have you found new weapons? Your current bows and arrows are all made of wood, and you don’t even have a sharp knife.”
"When the human race develops faster and better, you will no longer have a place, and even the deep mountains will no longer be safe."
"I'm not threatening you." Chi Yan said seriously, "I just want to tell you that I'm friendly now and want to invite you to join Stettin."
Chi Yan: "I know you are scared, you are all scared, I might be a liar, but if I were a liar, I wouldn't come to talk to you about this."
"If I want to catch the elves, as you said, I can directly let the army surround this place. Although I may lose a few people, none of you can escape."
Mu's mother pursed her lips tightly and looked at her. She felt offended, but she had to admit that Chi Yan was telling the truth.
They have been wandering in the mountains for too long, and they can't even settle in one place. They are exhausted, running around all day long to fill their stomachs, and can't stop to develop. The things they use now are still things from a hundred years ago, and their development has stagnated A hundred years ago, they couldn't compete with the human race, let alone now.
"What can you give us?" Mamma asked.
Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "I can give you the status of free citizens. You can come and go freely in the cities under my rule, you can do business, you can farm land, and you can do everything within the scope of the rules, as long as you don't commit crimes, and I It can also be guaranteed that you will be safe, and no one will be able to catch you and trade you in the city under my rule."
"Even if you want to leave one day, you can leave. I won't force you to stay."
Mom: "How can I believe that everything you say is true."
If Chi Yan changes his face at that time, what can they do?They only have so few people, and they can't even fight to the death.
Chi Yan suddenly said, "Mom, do you know how to gamble?"
Mommy nodded: "I know."
Chi Yan: "You are just betting now. Believe me, you will have a bright future. If you don't believe me, I can leave now, but you will find that you are still living in fear all day long, and you are still living in fear every day. You have to comfort yourself that such a day will pass soon.”
"Now the choice is yours."
Chi Yan stood up: "Think carefully, I will come again at this time tomorrow night, if you are not ready to accept my proposal, you can hang a bunch of flowers in front of your door tomorrow, any flower is fine, if you accept , just don’t hang anything, I’ll knock on your door.”
Chi Yan also performed a gentleman's salute, and he bowed slightly: "I'm leaving."
Mom watched Chi Yan leave the wooden house, and she fell backwards after Chi Yan left.
Muma stared blankly at the top of her head. She had not been a mother for a long time. She took over at the age of 15, and she is only 20 years old now.
The general lifespan of the elves is around 45 years old, and it is considered a long life to live to 50 years old.
So at the age of 20, she is not too young.
Muma matured earlier than other elves since she was a child. She discovered very early on that the elves did not stop interacting with the human race because they thought highly of themselves. They were afraid of the human race. I can only shrink back while hating, and go to a more secretive and less populated place.
But the characteristics of such places are all unified-the land is barren and the wild animals are many.
The former mother once said to her that the most terrifying thing about the human race is not how hateful they are.
It's that they have a large number of people, and each generation is constantly improving the products left by the previous generation. They have been moving forward, while other races have never stood still.
The former mother even told her that if this continues, the elves may not be able to last another 1000 years.
How many elves are left now?
Can there be [-] elves in this country altogether?
Maybe ten thousand is enough.
Mother took out a stone-like object from the box beside the bed. She asked her ancestors in her heart, and then threw the stone. On the one hand, Muma walked over and picked up the stone.
She didn't know what she saw on this ordinary-looking stone, but at this moment, her gaze became firm.
If you must make a change.
Just start with her.
She shoulders the future of a group.
Momma bit her lip, she held the stone tightly.
The ancestors should also hope that the elves will take this step.
