Longevity Story

"Please come in, [Misuo] will no longer refuse your entry.".

274. Please come to Earth to do real estate business, you will become the industry benchmark...

Repeating the old tricks, Xing Ke and his party who lived in someone else's house were arranged to live in a tree.

It doesn't mean that he was beaten into a tree after being pissed off, but that he really lived in the trunk of the big tree.

Towering into the sky, there are towering ancient trees that are roughly the size of a commercial building. There are connecting bridges made of wood and vines by elves, connecting each big tree to form a very natural urban three-dimensional transportation. .

Then, the elves lived in caves dug above the outer trunks of ancient trees.

Maybe it's a little rude to say it's a cave?After all, this kind of very artistic hut is much more beautiful than the cave.

Mashiro seems to like this place very much, and has left the star carved to explore.

And this is not a tree hole that has been devoured by worms.It is a house carved a little bit on the solid wood trunk, and even the walls will have faint patterns.

"These are all done with the unique magical ability of our family, which can shape our own living space as we like, without causing damage to the tree's life system, and as the tree ages, our house will be more beautiful. Sturdy.

And the tree itself has the effect of repelling insects, so you never have to worry about parasites in the house. "

Following Patriarch Kerry's explanation, Xing Ke smelled the smell on the wall, and sure enough, there was a smell similar to mint. .The source is a layer of dried resin on the wall.

In this regard, Xing Ke just wanted to say-

"Please come to another world to do real estate business, you will make a lot of money."

"Please stop joking, we elves will only be together in the forest, and the human world is not suitable for us to live for a long time."

"I mean let you plant trees... but forget it, can I learn your magic?"

"...Although I haven't seen a human who has learned the magic of elves, we don't mind if you insist."

"Ah, it's really not necessary to be so afraid of me. That kind of thing is just to get you to agree to our stay. I really don't have the slightest malice towards your Lin Du."

Although Xing Ke wanted to explain, he looked at the expression of Mr. Patriarch. .Xing Ke knew that it didn't work much.

"Well, you have also seen my magical power. I can guarantee that I have learned a lot of useful and useless magic. During my stay, if you have no trouble, you can come to me, three pieces. Among the three things, whether it is to destroy the human beings in this world or to build a permanent magical barrier for this forest that even the gods cannot break, I will agree.

How about it?Is it worth it? "

After that, Mr. Patriarch and Fartanya xiao jie, who had been glaring at Xing Ke behind him, didn't stay here any longer. They just left a sentence, and they left after delivering the food in a while.

Of course, the elf hunters lurking around this room are of course still conscientiously monitoring the dynamics of Xingqi from a distance.

On another tree not far away is Mr. Patriarch's house, which is quite convenient to disturb.

………………

"Guise! Why are you coming to the elves' territory, they are all demons, understand?! The kind of demon who opens the brains of "yun xi" in children's brains! Aren't you afraid that they will àn shā you when you are asleep?"

Without the big nerves like Mashiro, Louise has been very vigilant and hid behind the star carved from the moment she saw the elf's iconic long ears.

Just run away now.

"...Are you a child? Do you believe in such bedtime ghost stories? In your world, it's because of the war with the elves that it is false.

The elves of this world are so good, how can they be so vicious? "

Indeed, in Louise's world, there also exist elves, such as pseudo-girls with long ears, and their [First Live Magic] is also very interesting to hear, but because they live in an uncharacteristically hot desert area.Xing Ke did not go to them.

"But……"

"And the elves in your world are desert elves who have lost the protection of the forest. In their legends, you are the real demons, the heirs of nothingness, can you believe it?"

At this level, even if Louise didn't understand the meaning of the war between mín yì and yú lùn, at least she wouldn't believe in the nonsense of [elves are all brain-eating demons], right?

"...Humph—be careful when you sleep! Don't tell us to warn you!"

Turning her head to choose a bedroom, Louise didn't want to pay attention to Xing Ke anymore, made a face and closed the door directly.

"Hmph... The little girl's temperament is not allowed to be exposed?"

There is no Santa Claus in this world, the police will not arrest the disobedient bad children, and Lei Gong will not steal any navels; drinking milk will not make your breasts bigger, and hard work will not necessarily bring results, and even more will not when you grow up become easy...

Aren't these all pretty obvious scams?

No one will believe the truth, but clever lies are welcomed by everyone.

Regardless of the world, this rule will never change.

………………

"What are you looking at?"

Walking behind Shiro, Xing Ke asked suspiciously.

Seeing that Mashiro was studying a certain piece of furniture in the room very seriously, Xing Ke unconsciously became curious.

"Someone... what is this?"

With Shinshiro's line of sight, Xing Ke also observed, this is a small platform, but it is not very flat, there is a small depression in the middle.

There is a very weak magic energy that can be sensed in the internal test of the depression. According to the observation of the star carving, there are still scorching marks that are not clear, but... it is not like burning with an open flame.

"This should be a stove, right? The kind used for cooking."

"I can't see the flames."

"This should be a magic stove."

While stroking the slight burn marks, although there are residues of magic elements, it does not seem to come from the active magic in the human body.

"Probably... There is such a thing as a [magic stone] in this world, right? It will generate heat, and there is no smoke or open fire when it is used for heating. The house in this kind of tree hole still has good applicability. .

You see, although there are no kitchen utensils around, there are sinks and sewers for cleaning tableware.The decoration style is completely different, but the general effect is still not wrong. "

The sewers should be directly connected to the roots of the trees, so the trees can absorb them, right?This recycling is really environmentally friendly.

And the style of these furnishings is indeed a step closer to beauty than practicality, no wonder Zhenbai is fascinated by it.

"You guessed it right, since the owner of this house went out a hundred years ago, and after the news that he died in a shipwreck ten years ago, no one has used it again, so the kitchen utensils are not ready in time."

Fartanya's voice came from the door.He still looked unhappy, but his attitude was much better than at the beginning.

"I'll make it for you tomorrow if you need it."

"Yo, little girl, why are you here?"

"I'm not young anymore!~ I'll be an adult in 200 years!"

As if you don't want to be underestimated. .Fartanya retorted sharply.

"...It is true that 200 years have passed quickly, but think about it, the person who is older than you in 200 years will still be older than you. In front of her, you will always be a child."

"..."

His cheeks quickly flushed red, but he saw that his reason had been refuted in one sentence. .She seemed to have no reason to refute for a while.

"Oh, by the way, you haven't told me what you came here for."

"...Uncle asked me to come and invite you to dine together, no matter what means are used, the guests are still guests.

That's it, I've delivered it, goodbye. "

After quickly talking about the purpose, Fartanya turned her head and left. She didn't want to stay with this difficult human for another second.

"Really, have I offended her?"

"I don't know. But I want to know how to use this beautiful stove."

"...Okay, let's call Louise to grab a meal.".

275. Would it make me feel rude to eat so full while eating?

A soup made from fresh mushrooms and unknown leaves, something steamed and very fluffy like a sweet potato, sweet fruit like an apple but not the right color, and pine nuts as a side dish?But why the sweet peanut taste?

To be honest, Xing Ke was very satisfied with the food.

All the food of the elves has a very fresh taste. The ingredients are all picked in the forest this morning, and there is no use of fat and high temperature to break the taste of the ingredients themselves.

For things like the spice, some sort of ground and sun-dried powder of a leaf similar in taste to bay leaves is used, which gives the soup a very strong aroma that is very appetizing.

Compared with human food, the taste is much lighter, but it is not to the extent that there is no taste, so Xing Ke can drink a lot in one sip... It is said that the older people are, the more they like food with a weaker taste.This is indeed true.

Not to mention Mashiro and Louise, these two ladies have relatively low requirements for taste.

The thing that looks like a sweet potato as a staple food actually tastes more like a potato, but it is a little sweeter than a potato.

That's right, it's the kind of sweetness like pistachios.

Although the sweetness is very light, the lightness also represents a very suitable synonym for the soup.

Xing Ke ate three pieces alone, about a pound.

The fruit of the sweet fruit is said to be the solar term fruit in the north of the forest this season. .After this season, you can only eat dried fruit... Yes, that's right, the elves here have relatively perfect fruit drying techniques. Although they have borrowed some of the convenience of magic, this is still a potential skill. what.

The last little side dish, the thing that looks like pine nuts, is not actually peeled pine nuts, but a kind of beans called [elf beans]. After they are peeled from the pods, they are boiled in salt water or soup. The product that is then dried at low temperature can be regarded as a kind of stored food.

I have to admire the elves of this world. The living conditions are really good, and they will enjoy it very much.

Isn't that what an economic theorem says?Having spare food for cooking is itself a manifestation of being relatively wealthy on top of economic strength.

The elves should be here...they are few in number. .Population pressure is small, right?

After all, it takes a race of 170 years to become an adult, and a tribe that has developed for thousands of years is not as numerous as a city in the human empire next door that fights every day.

"I'm full, full, I haven't had such an appetizing vegan meal for a long time.

Thank you for your hospitality to Patriarch Christian, Qiao Jia xiao jie, and little girl Farr. "

"you!--"

What Fartanya hated most was being treated like a child.

"Sister Farr, you can't quarrel at the table..."

The one who helped stop the furious Fartania was the lovely sister Qiuka Xiaojie, the daughter of the patriarch, Qiuka Luna Marceau, Luna was her mother's name, but it seems she's gone now.

Unlike the feisty and irritable Fartanya who prefers barren xiōng bù, this sister xiao jie is very gentle, xiōng bù is also very lively, and her ears are a little longer.

"Mr. Guise, we are honored that you like the food of elves. After all, in our impression, the menu of human beings cannot be separated from the materials related to beasts such as meat, eggs and milk. I thought you were not used to eating them. ."

"Where, we humans are omnivores, and there are many people in my house who are killed without eating a bite of meat. After all, if there are too many people, it is not incomprehensible that there are a few people with special tastes, and I myself also like it. No-name gourmets of all kinds of novelty flavors.
