Game of the World Tree - Chapter 620
620. Chapter 618: Florence News
Elves come and go on the neat streets, and the elegant and majestic buildings on both sides are hung with various celebration decorations.
This is Florence, once the holy city of the elves, and now the political and cultural center of the elves.
After the last teleportation, the dwarf delegation finally arrived in this beautiful city.
The appearance of the dwarves soon attracted the elves living in Florence, who warmly received these guests from afar, and the Saint of Life Alice personally arranged for the delegation to stay in the Amway Hotel to rest…
After the delegation settled down, the leader Tonglu couldn’t wait to pull the accompanying Xiaoxian Miao, while walking around this beautiful elf city, and asking about the elf Chosen.
There was no way, the appearance of the dead in front of them was too shocking.
Of course, each of them had a small tail.
One was the dwarf prince who was curiously looking around, and the other was a black dragon in human form.
“So…you Chosen are actually immortal beings?”
Tonglu asked in surprise.
The legendary dwarf warrior had a very strange expression.
“Of course, we are blessed by the goddess. After death, we will be resurrected in… well, in the Chosen City.”
Xiao Xian Miao answered with a smile.
“Resurrection…”
Tonglu was slightly stunned and sighed.
He said with a depressed expression:
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I was ready to build a statue for you and a monument. I even made all the preparations…”
“Pfft…”
Xiao Xian Miao covered her mouth and smiled. The dimples on her face were very cute.
She giggled, and then said:
“Mr. Tonglu, if you really build a statue for me, I won’t refuse. It’s just the right thing to expand my influence in your dwarf kingdom and it will also facilitate future trade.”
Tonglu shook his head and waved his hand,
“Don’t tease me anymore. How can you build a monument for a living person?”
After that, as if he thought of something, he smiled bitterly and said,
“I know why the Pope had such a strange expression when he heard me say that I would build a statue for you. I’m afraid he already knew that you could be resurrected… Really, it’s been so many years, and he’s still like this. He didn’t even remind me, and just waited for me to discover the ‘surprise’ myself.”
“Are you familiar with His Majesty the Gray Shirt?”
Xiao Xianmao asked curiously.
Tonglu nodded:
“Yes, I have known him for a long time. At that time, he was still the chief priest.”
After that, he looked into the distance again, his sight paused on the exquisite and beautiful fountain garden, and sighed:
“It has been almost seventy years now…”
“Hey, at that time, I was still an adventurer, and I came to the Elf Forest once. I have explored Rivendell, Florence, and these former elven cities…”
Speaking of this, Tonglu suddenly stopped the topic, his expression was slightly embarrassed.
“Ahem, you know, the elves were not like they are now, so… ahem…”
“The Elf Ruins were still very popular among adventurers, not to mention that the Orcs kept a close eye on the Elf Forest at that time. Everyone knows that the ruins have not been touched much, and there must be a lot of good things in it… so…”
Tonglu’s expression was a little embarrassed.
After hearing his words, Xiaoxian Miao was slightly enlightened.
She smiled and waved her hand, saying,
“I understand, I understand. We also like to explore ruins. I understand.”
Seeing that the other party didn’t mind that he had explored the ruins of the elves before, Tonglu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He now really likes the elves more and more, and sincerely hopes that the Dwarf Kingdom can be on good terms with the Forest of Elves.
At the same time, seeing that the Elf Chosen One is so generous, he has a higher evaluation of the elves in his heart.
“If there is a chance, can you also introduce me to him? I am also very curious about His Majesty the Grey Shirt and I admire him very much. I heard that when the Dwarf Church was in the most critical moment, he alone supported the entire church…”
Xiao Xianmao said with a smile.
Tonglu was slightly stunned, and then laughed:
“No problem, when you go to the capital of the kingdom, I will introduce you to him!”
“Thank you very much!”
Xiao Xianmao said in surprise.
Then, she turned around and winked at a black dragon boy who had transformed into a human form, and made a “yeah” gesture.
The black dragon Myriel curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
“Slippery.”
He muttered in a low voice.
As a friend of a certain cat, he knew too well what this guy was thinking.
Xiao Xian Miao must be going to develop business in the Dwarf Kingdom again…
“Grandpa Tonglu, Grandpa Tonglu, look! Look! What is that?”
Just as Tonglu was talking to Xiao Xian Miao, a childish and excited voice rang out.
The dwarf prince pulled Tonglu’s sleeve and pointed at the sky with a curious look on his face.
Tonglu followed the dwarf prince’s gaze and saw a huge ellipsoid floating in the sky.
It was unknown what material the ellipsoid was made of. It was coated with a layer of gray on the outside. There was also a logo belonging to the Church of Life on the side. There was also a majestic black dragon emblem and a line of small elven characters in the lower right corner.
And below the ellipsoid, there was a large basket with several elves standing inside, and it was unknown what they were busy with.
Tonglu has lived for more than a hundred years and is familiar with some common Elvish texts. He squinted his eyes to identify them and read them out:
“Mengmeng…Committee…No.”
Glancing at Xiaoxianmiao beside him curiously, Tonglu asked:
“You organized this?”
He knew that Xiaoxianmiao was the leader of an Elf organization called “Mengmeng Committee.”
And… this seems to be a very influential organization of the elves. At least after arriving in the Elf Forest, Tonglu would see the organization’s industry almost every few steps he took.
“Ah, that’s a hot air balloon. It was made by our guild members and is being prepared for tomorrow’s festival!”
Xiaoxianmiao said.
“So that’s how it is.”
Tonglu nodded.
He looked at it carefully for a few times and exclaimed:
“The elves are really amazing. They can even make a flying magic prop like this.”
“No, it’s not a magic prop.”
Xiao Xianmao raised his index finger and shook it.
“It’s not a magic prop?”
Tonglu was slightly stunned.
“Of course, this thing doesn’t use magic at all, but hot air.”
Xiao Xianmao explained.
“Hot…hot air?”
Tonglu looked a little confused.
“Well, to be more precise, it’s the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.”
Xiao Xian Miao took out a pair of glasses and put them on. He pushed his glasses and explained,
“We installed a heating device under the balloon. When the air expands due to heat, the specific gravity of the air becomes lighter.”
“Because the mass of hot air per unit volume is smaller, hot air is lighter than cold air. The hot air will rise above the cold air, making it lighter and generating buoyancy heat, which can make the balloon carry the load and take off. This is the hot air balloon.” “
Of course, we also have a magic version, which replaces the heating device with a heating magic circle and drives it with magic stones. The effect is better, but it costs a bit more money. It’s not as economical as this…”
“Of course, the principle of taking off is the same.”
“Well, do you understand?”
Xiao Xian Miao asked.
Tong Lu shook his head in confusion.
Xiao Xian Miao: …
“Just think of it as the black technology of our elves.”
She gave up on explaining.
Tong Lu: …
After curiously looking at the hot air balloon for a while, Tong Lu’s eyes swept around the streets.
I saw that every household was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there were also very cute young elves running around the streets with banners and paper windmills, smiling happily.
The busy elves in various places in the city were also seizing the time to put up various decorations.
Although the festival has not arrived, the atmosphere of celebrating the festival has already filled the entire Florence.
“It’s so lively!”
He sighed slightly.
“It will be even more lively tomorrow!”
Xiao Xian Miao smiled.
Tong Lu nodded secretly and looked further away.
There was an open square. A
high platform had been built on the square, and a line of elf text celebrating the harvest festival had been hung high up, and around the high platform, there were layers of seats, densely packed and numerous.
Not only that, Tonglu even saw seats and awnings on the buildings on both sides of the square. The exaggerated number surprised him:
“Have you prepared so many seats? How many people will attend tomorrow’s celebration?”
“Hey, don’t mention it.”
Xiao Xian Miao curled her lips.
“This celebration is held by our Meng Meng Committee and the Heart of Nature in cooperation with Florence. With so many seats, it is estimated that they are not enough to fill the gaps in our teeth…”
She shook her head.
“Really?!”
Tonglu looked unconvinced.
If he saw it correctly, the number of seats must add up to tens of thousands, right?
“You will know tomorrow.”
Xiao Xian Miao kept it a secret.
Looking at the smiling elf girl, Tonglu scratched his head.
His eyes continued to sweep across the square and finally stopped on a huge screen.
It was a crystal screen that was dozens of meters wide, with exquisite and complex magic circles and patterns engraved on the edges, which had a different kind of beauty.
“What is that? Is it some kind of magic prop?”
Tonglu asked curiously.
“That, that is also a product developed by our Mengmeng Committee. We call it the Magic Projection Screen.”
Xiao Xian Miao explained.
“Magic Projection Screen?”
A question mark seemed to rise on Tonglu’s head.
“It is to project various performances on the scene onto it, so that it can be conveniently watched remotely and broadcast live. As for the principle, it may be a little more complicated than a hot air balloon, so I won’t explain it in detail.”
Xiao Xian Miao smiled.
After that, she proudly said:
“We also have a projection screen in our tavern. Tomorrow, the scene of the celebration will be directly projected onto it, so that people in the tavern can watch the performance on the square remotely.”
“So convenient?”
Tonglu looked surprised.
“Of course.”
Xiao Xian Miao proudly puffed out his chest.
Tonglu was amazed.
He looked at the crystal screen in the distance and sighed slightly:
“As expected, they are the most creative magical race, always with so many wonderful ideas…”
After that, he pondered for a moment and asked:
“Sir Xiao Xianmao, then you say… Can our dwarves use this kind of thing? Including that thing before… um, yes, hot air balloon!”
Xiao Xianmao’s mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, and he smiled like a little fox:
“Of course!”
“The projection screen is a bit troublesome. It must require the participation of mages. I heard that the number of mages in the dwarf tribe is quite scarce, so it may be difficult to promote it.”
“However, we are now developing a system that is completely driven by magic stones. If all goes well, the upgraded projection screen will be more convenient for friendly races to use in the future.”
“Of course, for hot air balloons, there is no problem at all. Anyone can operate it with a little training.”
Xiao Xianmao said, looking at the copper furnace with a smile.
Tonglu was pleasantly surprised when he heard this:
“That’s great!”
“I think these things have a wide range of uses. After this visit, I will ask His Majesty the King about his attitude. I think he will be very interested in these devices!”
“Hey, Mr. Xiaoxian Miao, when the time comes, please leave some good things for us! We won’t take them for nothing, we will pay for them!”
“Well… is it okay?”
Tonglu asked again with a little trepidation.
Products made by elves must be fine products.
This is also the consensus of the world of Segos.
Although the elves have declined for a thousand years, the various handicrafts and magic props they make are still sought after.
However, the elves have not been very keen on trading with other races since ancient times, especially some precious magic props.
So… although Tonglu is very interested in these magical items, he is still more or less unsure in his heart.
“Of course, no problem, leave it to me! If you buy more, I can give you a discount at that time!”
Xiaoxian Miao patted his chest and promised.
She smiled happily, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
And after getting the guarantee from the elf girl, Tonglu was also in a good mood.
He now found these elf chosen ones more and more lovely.
They were beautiful and friendly, spoke sweetly, were open and enthusiastic.
Although they had some inevitable shortcomings, overall, they were quite suitable for Tonglu’s temperament.
Tonglu’s eyes withdrew from the square and swept to other places again.
The gradually sinking sunset cast a layer of golden light on the vibrant elf city, making the already beautiful Florence look even more dreamy.
An unknown piece of music came from afar, accompanied by the laughter and whistles of children.
There was an elf sitting in the garden, playing an unknown musical instrument, surrounded by curious elf boys and girls.
Listening to the melodious music with a bit of joy and wantonness, watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street, smelling the various tempting aromas that gradually began to drift in the air, Tonglu’s mouth corners gradually rose.
This elf city seemed to have a different kind of charm. Even as an outsider, he could personally feel a kind of spiritual peace and the happiness of the residents from the heart…
“Hey, Harvest Festival? I’m looking forward to it more and more.”
He smiled slightly.
_(:з」∠)_ I successfully watered another chapter of daily life…
cough cough…
