Wolf King

Chapter 117 Cooperation Objectives

Ms. Evelyn is going to spend the night in the tribe, and where to arrange her accommodation is a big problem...

When people came last time, there were plenty of vacant rooms in the tribe. Now, although the dormitories for accommodation have tripled, there are really no vacant rooms... The houses that have been built from the back row have not been built yet, so we can’t let them A (looking) delicate elf girl living in an open-air house, right?

As for letting people and clansmen squeeze into one room... Uh... this involves a somewhat troublesome issue. My family knows my own family affairs, and the clansman's sleeping appearance Xiao Yun has a clue in his mind. If she is asked to go with The people of the tribe crowded into the Datong shop, and it was impolite to see a bunch of birdmen or something...

After much deliberation, Xiao Yun could only specialize Evelyn, find a room with fewer male occupants, replace the one with the birds to squeeze other rooms, let Evelyn live with a few cats and snow The females of the wolf family live together... These females actually don't sleep very well, and they also like to sleep with bare buttocks, at least they have no birds to sneak around.

So Ms. Evelyn came to the rooms No. 7-9 that Xiao Yun specially "vacated" for her, and when she looked up, she saw Da He's utterly handsome face.

"Light the candles here for you, ha~~~ow~" Dahe brought Gensar's special candle over, lit one and put it on the window sill, "If you don't like the dark night, just leave it on all the time, if you want Just blow it out if you want it to be darker for sleeping."

"Hmm... okay." Evelyn stared at Dahe, trying hard to build up her mind... She wouldn't scream when she saw this handsome man who didn't look like a snow wolf at all, but she wanted to sleep with Dahe for a while. Zhang Datong's shop is still a bit too exciting.

"By the way, this is for you." Dahe thought for a while, and took out a small bowl of meat floss from the cabinet next to the stove, "If you can't sleep, eat some snacks, and you'll feel sleepy after eating."

"...Okay, thank you." Evelyn took it stiffly.

"Then I'll go to bed first, and I have to get up early tomorrow." Da He couldn't keep his eyes open, and couldn't stand it after taking care of the guests, so he turned around and went to the kang, undressing at the same time.

Evelyn stared in shock as Dahe stripped his buttocks, climbed to the top of the kang, and moved the other person who slept so badly that he lay down before lying down. The sleeping position was also very heroic...

"..." No matter how self-proclaimed her upbringing was, Evelyn couldn't help shifting her gaze to the lower part of the abdomen... Then she didn't know whether to say it was relaxation or sighed regretfully, it was indeed a female...

There were already a dozen or so people lying on the kang, some were as bold as Dahe and were not covered with anything, and some were curled up with blankets. The big kang with a length of about [-] meters was not too crowded to sleep so few people, and there were still people in the middle. There was a large area left; Evelyn looked at the Snowwolves who could be seen at a glance on the left, and looked at the cats who were not that big in size despite the same sleep difference, and chose the Kang surface on the right without hesitation. .

The caster requires travel experience. Evelyn is not allowed to leave the Elven Forest due to her relatively young age, but the area covered by the Elven Forest is enough for her to run around. The living environment of the ethnic group is naturally not too picky.

Sleeping on the kang with a layer of clean straw mats and a layer of blankets, with a pillow filled with wheat bran and reed wadding on her head, and then covering her feet and stomach with a brand new blanket given by Xiao Yun, Evelyn relaxed and grew up. Exhale, and soon fell asleep.

I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but there was a very penetrating metal knocking sound, and Ms. Evelyn, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have been hit hard on the head with a big hammer. Open your eyes all at once.

"Ah~~~ It's dawn——"

As a strange, coquettish voice sounded in her ears, a thick arm suddenly appeared in front of Ms. Evelyn; the female elf mage was numb for a moment, and slowly turned her head, realizing that it was sleeping on her right hand. The snow werewolf on the side was stretching and yawning.

...Just looking at his majestic upper body, it is really hard for people to believe that this person is the same gender as him...

Evelyn felt her body was heavy, and it seemed that something was rubbing against her left arm. Because she was not fully awake, Evelyn didn't feel panic, so she looked back slowly to the left side of her body...

A... no, one, uh... a fluffy lynx that turned into a cat in its sleep fell asleep on her at some point, with most of its body pressed on her legs, curled up, A paw hugged her waist, frowning, eyes closed tightly, head arched at the elbow of her left arm, as if trying to arch her arm to cover her ear...

Evelyn: "...??"

"It's hot when you get up, and it's hot when you start work—"

The sound of Dahe sounded, and the dazed Shuaibi face of this handsome female of the naked snow wolf tribe appeared in Evelyn's field of vision, crawling over her legs in a half-kneeling position, shaking them one by one. The people who woke up and struggled to stay in the dreamland pulled down the cat clan who fell asleep on Evelyn's body.

Evelyn's body relaxed, but for some reason, she felt a little regret...

"Why are you sleeping like a cat again? What if you scratch someone in your sleep? Get up and wash your face and brush your teeth."

"Hey, have I become a cat?" Lynx rubbed her eyes with her big fluffy paws in a daze, and her body turned into a slender boy... Uh, it should be a girl, without a bird...

Ms. Evelyn, who was about to sit up: "..."

Dahe woke everyone up, passed by Evelyn again, and returned to the kang head to get dressed, not forgetting to say to the guests: "You can sleep a little longer, Evelyn, and you can have breakfast in the cafeteria later. .”

The cats who just woke up stared at Evelyn curiously.

"No need, I'm used to getting up early." Evelyn didn't have the nerve to continue sleeping, and sat up quickly.

Each house is equipped with a kang, except that no fire is lit in summer, everyone’s breakfast is settled in their respective houses in other seasons. In the 7-9 dormitory, there is Dahe, the former canteen chef and current welfare minister. The simple breakfast is delicious. Evelyn, who is not used to eating in the sleeping place, gets her own share. It is warm and spicy. After eating the haggis soup, and then taking a bite of the wheat cake baked on the inner layer of the stove so that it is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, no thought of disgust will arise.

What is not used to is that Lynx, who has slept with her legs as pads all night, is very close to her because she has become a human, and still likes to rub her head against her body. When drinking soup, the soup It touched the corner of her mouth, and Evelyn was about to take out her handkerchief, when the lynx leaned over and stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of her mouth...

Evelyn: "..." She finally understood why Ayun didn't let the cat clan lick others casually.

——But actually a little happy, what's the matter with being swollen!

——The elves express their emotions in a more subtle way, so it is very happy to be so straightforwardly expressed by others with actions!

When Xiao Yun saw Ms. Evelyn again, the female elf mage mingled with the cat clan with a smile on her face, and appeared in the pickle processing area with a relatively strong smell together with several cat clan in the same room as her. .

Xiao Yun: "..." Is it true that women cannot resist the charm of cats? !

No, he wasn't so wretched enough to let the cat clan betray his lust!

But having said that, it is a good thing that this female elf mage who has the right to speak in Ananas is willing to get close to the grassland tribe... Forget it, let's sell the color if you want to sell it.It’s good to eat something like morality, and the lower limit can be adjusted at any time.

Because of Ashumu's injury before, Xiao Yun's attitude towards the forest elves was relatively reserved, and he didn't dare to open up and announce it as he did to the snow elves. He had to estimate a little more; first, he had to find out how much say this female elf mage had in Ananas City, and secondly, what was the attitude of the council elder in her backstage towards the Snow Wolf Tribe? , Xiao Yun also had to figure it out.

At lunch time, Xiao Yun pulled up the cubs selling cute artifacts and came to Evelyn generously. After a business exchange, he pretended to be casual: "Evelyn, you came to the grassland with so many gold coins by yourself. If we trade, won't others worry about your safety?"

"I'm more proficient in ventilation elemental magic. I don't dare to say it in battle, but I'm very good at escaping." Evelyn joked with a smile.

This answer clearly shows that she has no defense against Xiao Yun, and it may be that she has been fascinated by the cat clan...

A light flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes. Ananas' words let Evelyn go out with nearly [-] gold coins at ease, and Evelyn's disapproval of this trip is enough to prove that Evelyn herself, or Her background is very strong in Ananas City; before Evelyn took the lead in this transaction, she must have successfully executed many tasks of no less than [-] gold coin transactions, proving that Evelyn does have certain She has the right to speak, and her attitude carries weight in Ananas City.

The gold coins in this world are not made up of brass, they are very important and have purchasing power. In the human kingdom, a thousand gold coins can even buy a royal family in a small country, and a few hundred gold coins can buy a powerful warrior slave. Dozens of gold coins can bring a young and beautiful woman home to be a concubine—Dan Crowdy took out a bag of hundreds of gold coins to try to seduce Uncle Ah Shan, and that was already the entire wealth of that noble young master.

Among the down-and-out aristocrats following Prince Carlisle, some even sold their houses to make up boats on gold coins. If they couldn’t make any money from going to sea, they would have to sleep on the street. It can be said that they were quite desperate...

After confirming that Evelyn had the value of cooperation, Xiao Yun began to inquire about her backstage, that is, the council elder with a strong sense of presence.Evelyn, who was not sufficiently wary, did not think too much, and said proudly: "My teacher Gwendolyn is an amazing spellcaster. She once served the queen in Stephens and came to Ananas more than 40 years ago. After that, I did many things for Ananas..."

"Airborne faction!" Xiao Yun immediately understood...

Xiao Yun, who had made a certain contribution to the company's southwest branch, understood how annoying the airborne was the most... The black-faced supervisor from the head office before he crossed over made a lot of trouble for him.

Since Evelyn's teacher belongs to the airborne sect, there must be local sects in Anas City who are against her. Xiao Yun stroked his chin while inquiring about the relevant information of this Elder Gwendolyn, while starting a brain storm :

Generally speaking, the airborne faction is divided into two categories. The first category is gold-plated on the ground. After gaining enough sense of presence, they will be transferred for promotion. Evelyn’s teacher is obviously not this category. After all, no matter how time-conscious the elves are, Different from others, two to thirty years is enough if you want to be gilded, and you have stayed there for more than 30 years without moving, which is obvious... Evelyn’s teacher belongs to the second category, offended the central core power, and was sent to the local government let it go.

Xiao Yun has never been to Ananas City, but he has obtained a lot of information from Hai Lin and other elf warriors. Geographically, Ananas City is located on the outskirts of the main mountain range of the Elven Forest, close to the grassland. The location on the west coast; the core area of ​​the forest elves, the center of power is the main mountain range in the elf forest, so judging from this distribution of power, the edge of Ananas City...

The airborne faction that has been sent down to the local level is still in an embarrassing position where it seems that there is no hope of returning to the core of central power. No matter how much Evelyn said about her teacher, Xiao Yun can guess this with his knees. A former member of the Queen's Masters and now an elder of the council of a small border town wants to "return home", and he certainly has not given up maintaining contact with the central government - Su Dongpo was exiled and wrote to the emperor saying, "I miss you, let me go back What?", can a spellcaster with extraordinary means of communication not desperately connect with the central government?

The sauce sold to Anas City last year, Evelyn came to mention the expansion of the transaction volume this year, and did not hide the transaction with "other cities", then this matter is almost knee-jerk, Xiao Yun can know this Definitely Evelyn's teacher pushing...

Combined with Evelyn's mention of expanding the transaction volume, she did not mention the fact that vermicelli noodles that are super suitable for military dry food - Evelyn's teacher has a bad relationship with the military forces that control the forest elf army, or they want to hug each other. The military refused to let it go, this kind of speculation is almost ready to come out... General Kleist at the port bought a lot of vermicelli with his own money in private. For Anas, it is also obvious that he looks like a big river among the snow werewolves. That is to say, Evelyn's teacher, who has a considerable right to speak, is likely to take some or even most of the vermicelli as a "stepping stone" (The premise that there is no profit to be made is that there is no money, just give it away), but people don't appreciate it...

It's so pitiful... Xiao Yun couldn't help but want to shed bitter tears.

In short, with the information provided by Evelyn, Xiao Yun has perfected the power representative image of the "Airborne Faction" in Ananas City that Xiao Yun guessed, then the next step is Xiao Yun's choice of whether to cooperate with this faction in depth.

Obviously, although she is an airborne faction who struggled to return to the central government but failed, this elder is not an ordinary fighter—her disciples can represent Anas to conduct transactions involving huge amounts of gold coins, and they can also receive money from Ananas. General Kleist, one of the representatives of the Sri Lankan military, took food from the hands of General Kleist, which made Kleist dare not speak out, which shows that he has not been idle at all during the decades of devolution. It was very deadly, and beat the local faction of the local snake to the ground.

Then here comes the question... In Evelyn's mouth, Elder Gwendolyn, who is gentle, kind, wise, and kind, is a strong man who is an airborne faction but completely suppresses local snakes. Do people think about the Snow Wolf tribe? Even if they can cooperate, How much sincerity can there be in cooperation?

Xiao Yun talked about dealing with Evelyn, but in his heart, he was really undecided for a while.

The political purpose of this airborne faction must be to return to the central power center. This is a conclusion that can be drawn without thinking. This will be the strongest driving force for her actions. She will be extremely eager to make achievements, which is appropriate. The plus point of this is that the snow wolves also hope to expand the business scale for their own purposes, and the interests of both parties are common on this point.

But that’s where the problem lies... now Evelyn’s teacher, Elder Gwendolyn, is in charge of the business with the Snow Wolf Clan. They already have the initiative whether they move or not, so the Snow Wolf Clan is currently at an absolute disadvantage. There is really no bargaining chip that can overwhelm the "Libra" of cooperation... It is impossible to talk about the position of equal dialogue. What's wrong with cooperation?Is it necessary for people to negotiate with you?

If you don’t choose this powerful airborne faction, to be honest, the performance of General Kleist’s vermicelli, which makes people pinch their noses and bear it, is really not very good for this year’s local faction...

After much deliberation, Xiao Yun could only come to one conclusion: "It's still not the right time."

Xiao Yun is not sure who is the powerful person in Anas City who stretched out his black hands to the Snow Wolf Clan, and who was able to withdraw Evelyn from the previous transaction under the eyes of Evelyn's teacher. The "airborne faction" is still the "local faction"; and the current size of his own tribe does not allow Xiao Yun to take risks, get hot-headed, and go fast for revenge.

A lone family gambles and bets casually, Xiao Yun can't do it, he has to be responsible for the whole tribe, the snow wolf clan and the cat clan, gray dwarves, and goblins who follow the snow wolf clan.

Tactical choices can be sloppy, but strategic choices must be as steady as old dogs.

After making up his mind, Xiao Yun continued to talk with Ms. Evelyn with a smile as if nothing had happened, and invited her to play in the tribe for two more days. Ms. Evelyn was very moved by this proposal, but regretfully declined after struggling... ... She still needs to bring back the goods in the space props. It stands to reason that she should leave in the morning, and she has been so enthusiastic about keeping it until now.

Xiao Yun looked at Evelyn, who was subconsciously feeding the cubs like everyone else, and suddenly had a flash in his mind: It is too challenging to cooperate with Evelyn’s teacher, but Evelyn herself seems to be a good teacher. Cooperative partner?

This idea seems to be good, Xiao Yun thought about the feasibility for a while, and his eyes began to light up - as expected, there are always more solutions than problems, isn't this just another village in front of us?

Xiao Yun immediately used his brain to think of a way to win Evelyn's favor. Obviously, it is not enough to rely on cats to show cuteness. Although this female elf mage is young, she can clearly distinguish the importance. To attract her attention, she must Find another way.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yun quickly made up his mind, and immediately... pretended to be tender and embarrassed: "Evelyn, can I ask you some questions about magic? I can't use magic, but when I watched Balk use magic, I also had some thoughts, but Balk couldn't explain how his magic was used, so I always wanted to seek answers from a powerful spellcaster like you, Do you think I'm presumptuous?"

The young Evelyn immediately showed a pitiful expression... This pure and kind female elf is quite considerate. Xiao Yun, who did not directly question the forbidden demon race, arrogantly claimed that he had thoughts about magic, and said politely: "I'm worried about my What I have learned is not enough to explain your doubts, but I will try my best."

Xiao Yun's complexion changed immediately, and he said seriously: "The process of Balke using offensive magic is to manipulate magic power to capture elemental energy, gather wind elements or fire elements for his use, and form unnatural wind or fire power. When attacking magic tricks, his way of using it is to concretize the magic power to form a substance composed of some kind of magic power, and transform the magic power that does not belong to the actual substance into an object that imitates any mass, thereby affecting the material world. Is my superficial understanding of magic through observation correct or incorrect?"

Evelyn opened her mouth wide...

She is still very calm in the first half, which is indeed a common understanding of the use of magic - isn't the second half too jumpy?How does this connect with the first half?

Xiao Yun changed his face in seconds and switched to shy and shy mode: "Evelyn? Did I say something wrong?"

"Uh...no, although I've never heard someone describe magic power in this way...but from this perspective, it's not wrong to understand it this way." Evelyn stumbled at the lack of words for a while.

"Is that so, I thought it was all my imagination." Xiao Yun rubbed his head shyly, before turning serious again in the next second: "Since this is the case, then I think, can magic power be understood as a kind of energy? For example It is said that we burn firewood or black stones to generate fire and heat energy, place food in the heat radiation area, and bake raw wheat cakes to mature wheat cakes, which is the embodiment of heat energy affecting material changes. Magic power is not used by the caster Although it is everywhere at the time, it does not affect the material world, so can it be said that magic power is an energy that exists in a form different from heat energy."

"The known energy exists in many different forms. According to the different forms of motion of matter, our snow wolf clan divides the energy we can perceive and observe with the naked eye into mechanical energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, and light energy. Wait, maybe there are other forms of energy that we don't know about, but I think the principle should be similar, am I right to speculate like this?"

Evelyn looked dull: "..."

She felt wrong, very wrong, obviously she was the more experienced and knowledgeable spellcaster, why did she need to think so hard to understand what Ayun was saying? !

"Evelyn? Did I say something wrong again?" Xiao Yun changed to a shy face extremely shamelessly.

"It should be... not wrong... right?" Evelyn bit the bullet and said, as a spellcaster, how can she say that she can't be sure!

"Then I'll continue talking~" Xiao Yun changed his face and looked serious again, "Considering that magic power is not as intuitive as heat energy can be perceived by our snow wolf clan, a forbidden magic race, then I think, Compared with heat energy, magic power should be closer to light energy in the form of existence. Light energy also has the characteristics that it will not directly affect the change of matter if it is not concentrated or not directly exposed for a long time. In the understanding of our snow wolf clan, it is frequency and relatively mild radiant energy in continuity. For example, if a piece of bark paper is placed in the sun, it is not easy to burn, but a convex mirror made of ice or glass can concentrate the light energy radiation on one point, and it will You can ignite the bark paper. Then I thought, is the way the spellcaster uses magic power also a similar principle?"

Evelyn: "..."

Although she was indeed listening very carefully and trying very hard to understand... But she couldn't understand when Xiao Yun started to mention frequency and continuity, terms related to the field of physics.
