Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 367: Bachelor of Elf (3/3)
According to the words of this elf who should be from Canaan Moore, the carriage that Yin En saw when he killed the sharp-clawed tiger was his property, and the driver was a hired worker from Nauman City.
He originally planned to come to Nanling, go deep into the Baisen Mountains and go to the autonomous region to investigate and study the culture of the mountain people. He didn't expect that before he crossed the Indigo Mountain Gorge, the area around the theoretically 'quite safe' Agate Stone Plain was destroyed. The sharp-clawed tiger attacked and fled in a hurry by himself, but unfortunately both the coachman and the carriage were killed immediately.
Warcraft generally don't eat ordinary people who are not sublimated. After all, human flesh is really small. At this time, most ordinary people don't have much fat.
In short, he was very grateful to Yin En, and avenged his carriage and driver.
In order to express his gratitude, he decided to give Yin En fifteen talers and a gemstone bracelet made by elves.
The gemstone bracelet is exquisite in workmanship, and the emeralds are all genuine. The price is about a dozen thalers, so it is a very valuable accessory.
"I don't need it... Save the money and leave it to the family of the driver who died in an accident."
But Yin En is not very cold. Instead, he looked at the green-haired elf in front of him with interest, and met his golden eyes.
Even in Terra, a world where everyone is handsome and beautiful, there are still high and low appearances. According to human standards, elves are all handsome without exception, but this elf is in front of him It is also considered excellent among elves.
The elf who calls himself 'Anfa' is wearing a bachelor's robe, with long green hair hanging down to half his waist, and a well-proportioned and smooth body. A long iron chain was tied obliquely around the chest and abdomen to the waist.
This is the representative of the 'lifetime oath' in the oath-keeping culture of the Terra elves, and it is often used in some important ceremonies. Of course, generally speaking, no one would carry this thing on their body, but elves also have a kind of martial art that can use iron chains, but I don't know if this elf thinks the same way.
"I am moved by your generosity."
Anfa's words were full of surprise, but he quickly returned to his original politeness: "As you wish, I will add the thank you money originally given to you to the burial originally planned for the victim Mar's family fee."
Yin En nodded slightly, but he still cared about the blue fog on Anfa's body in his eyes.
Yes, Anfa is a sublimator, and his strength is not weak, it should be the water system.
Although he may not be able to beat the crazy sharp-clawed tiger, he is not as weak as he pretends, as if he is just an ordinary scholar.
This elf's disguise is very good. Even Yin En can't sense the aura of a sublimator with ordinary source quality sensing.
"This technique of concealing the breath is worth learning."
Because his hidden identity is always seen, Yin En is now also thinking about how to better hide his aura—but he also knows that this is not realistic, and he can really see his hidden identity. Not an acquaintance of the teacher back then, or simply a witness who knew his identity a long time ago.
For such a person, ordinary methods of concealment are useless.
As for the opponent's hidden strength, Yin En doesn't care too much, anyway, he also hides his strength, everyone is mutual.
At the end of the exchange, Anfa also expressed his request: "Dear knight, can I go with you and go to Lai'an to lead? I don't mind traveling late at night, and I am willing to pay the reward."
"Of course."
Yin En agreed: "There is no need for remuneration. Didn't you say that you are a 'minority cultural researcher'? I would be happy to listen to you talk about your research results on the road, if there is no need to keep it secret."
"If you wish."
The elf smiled and saluted.
Different from the faint sense of alienation brought about by his handsome appearance and polite manners, Anfa is actually quite talkative, or he is willing to explain his work results to others.
According to Anfa's own introduction, he was actually a researcher of the 'Canaan Moore Ancient Civilization Research Institute'.
But during the research process, he realized that the cultures of the indigenous people, the mountain people and the migrants were inextricably linked with the civilization of the pre-epoch, so he decided to give up the comfortable research environment of the research institute and go to the countryside fields and wild forests , go to those dangerous areas to communicate with the locals, and explore part of the truth hidden in their ancient legends and myths.
With the passage of time and the expansion of civilized countries, these original indigenous cultures are disappearing, and the history of many lost eras can only be passed down in the ancient legends of the indigenous people and the mountain people.
"Our continent is full of wars, and the Setar Empire is the country with the longest history and stability, but even so, the three major changes are equivalent to changing dynasties. The research materials destroyed by the dark moon turmoil are the painstaking efforts of scholars of the past hundreds of years Summary."
When it comes to this, the handsome elf has an extremely regretful expression: "There are a lot of jobs that have to be restarted, and I can only do my best."
Yin En knew that Anfa's research line was actually quite correct—just like the Sequoia people, the predecessors of the Sequoia natives, were the remnants of the Terra civilization in the previous era.
Their legends and various sacrificial ceremonies are indeed inextricably linked with the various technologies and history of the pre-era civilization.
It's just that this is undoubtedly a dangerous job. The mountain people can say that as long as they respect their dragon god, they may be able to treat you to a hot meal, but the redwood forest natives are different. Probability turns investigators into a hot meal.
Even for the milder natives in other places, simple communication is fine, but the legends related to the deep level of their culture and participation in various rituals and sacrifices are definitely not easy to get out.
That must be the result of their full approval, and it is unlikely to be a field that an ordinary researcher can touch.
"I originally hired a group of adventurers to accompany me, but I'm actually on vacation at the moment. There are such beasts."
When he said this, Anfa also showed a helpless look, and Yin En nodded slightly. The truth of this sentence is more than 90%, which is much more credible than the half-truth and half-fake self-introduction before.
"Merge with the mountain people?"
So he followed Huatou and said, "I don't know much about this, can you explain in detail."
"Very happy."
Except for the suspicious parts, Anfa is indeed a qualified researcher, and he has done his homework before going to the Shanmin Autonomous Region.
Contrary to what many outsiders think, Laianling is not an occupied area, but a pilot area for the integration of the empire and the mountain people.
The first Baron Laian was a descendant of the intermarriage between the imperial people and the mountain people, and served as a bridge for the peace talks after the war.
The golden leaf tree, Xiahui grass and other medicinal plants and spiritual plants are also the traditional planting techniques of the mountain people, which are used by hunters to heal injuries and cultivate sublimators and psychics.
It is said that the mountain people who intermarried back then were still extremely noble elders, and every few generations, Baron Lai'an would marry or recruit a mountain woman man.
"Although all the tribes of the mountain people worship the Dragon God, the internal differences are quite different. There are many tribes like the Sequoia natives who have the tradition of cannibalism and blood sacrifices, but most of them have changed or It was wiped out."
Anfa also showed interest in the Sequoia natives, especially after learning from Yin En that the Sequoia natives had been defeated and conquered by Harrison Port, he was even more moved.
However, he still plans to visit the mountain people first
Yin En listened carefully to the whole process, which greatly satisfied his curiosity.
And he also found that after telling the history for himself, Anfa, who was sitting on the front of the carriage, took out a booklet and wrote some words on it seriously.
Even if he looked backwards, Yin En could still see clearly that the "Knight of Golden Leaf Town" written on it was referring to himself, but the plus number behind it was not clear what it meant.
He smiled and said, "You can call me 'guide'. What is written in this book? Ah, forgive me, if you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it."
"Haha, just record the people I met and related actions."
Anfa didn't care about this either, he smiled and raised his head after changing 'Knight of Golden Leaf Town' to 'Guide': "During the journey of studying minority cultures, I met many people who helped me I am a good person, and I have met many people who deceived me."
"There is a proverb in my hometown of Canaan Moor, 'All words are false, but the actions of hands are true' - I will record everyone's actions one by one, and write them in numbers in this booklet , to avoid forgetting.”
"For example, Mr. Guide, because you killed the sharp-clawed tiger that attacked me, your sympathy for the victim, and your willingness to take me to Lai'an, etc., are '+175'... Well, based on the average calculation of the time we spend together, this is a pretty high score, and you are indeed a kind person."
Yin Enqi said: "Isn't this the Dwarf's Book of Hate? It's just an extra friendship part. Or is this part of your elf oath culture?"
Of course, it's more like some kind of prestige or favorability system, he didn't expect that someone would actually calculate this by himself.
"No, this is my personal habit."
Put away the 'Little Hatred Book', Anfa lowered his eyes, feeling a little emotional: "Emotion, kindness and hatred are difficult to calculate, but there must be a measure, so I will record it as a reference."
"No matter what the attitude is, no matter whether it's a smile or a scorn on the surface, judging only from actions is far more accurate than listening to words."
"Well, it makes sense."
Yin En declined to comment on this, but in his heart, he changed Anfa's impression from 'suspicious elf scholar' to 'interesting and suspicious elf scholar'.
The speed of the camel beast was not fast, but under the acceleration of Yin En's faint input of source matter to eliminate fatigue, they still arrived at Lai'an collar before the sun rose in the morning.
A forest town surrounded by purple and golden orange flowers.
