The conversation between Vimm and Hilda made the people behind the car a bit confused, but basically you can understand that the accident of the Space - Time accelerator had a certain impact on the foundation of this fragile society, and now there are many problems in the Aerym society . However, these are other people's chores. As a group of outsiders, Hao Ren is inconvenient for them to rush into.
The hovering vehicle was extremely fast, and it did n’t take long to reach the center of the Rising Sun Island. After passing an extra energy barrier and crossing the high wall, the towering minarets of the Royal District of Aerym appeared in front of the vehicle. The car flew towards one of the tall towers that looked indistinguishable from the surroundings, and landed smoothly on a semi-circular platform extending from the upper part of the tower. Hilda personally opened the door for everyone: "This is my home."
Lily looked at this large-scale minaret curiously and mumbled: "Well Oh, it looks very big."
Hilda smiled helplessly: "At least we don't lack living space."
At this time, there were already several servant-like Aerym Elves greeted from the other end of the platform. Seeing the queen who had been missing for many days seemed to make these servants very excited. Each of them had a heartfelt joy on their faces. And peace of mind, it can be seen that Hilda's people here are genuine. Hilda and Vimm explained some things to these servants, and then introduced the Hao Ren to these people: "They are VIPs, arrange rooms for them and take good care of them."
"I'm going to hold an emergency presbyterian meeting," Hilda turned around again, "I'm sorry to put you aside as soon as I get home, but it seems that something urgent has happened in my kingdom."
Lily responded with a slap: "It's okay, we can just play by ourselves. Can I go around?"
"Please feel free." Hilda nodded with a smile, and then hurriedly left here with the Vimm in a suspension vehicle.
A slender and young female elf came forward and motioned for Hao Ren to follow her: "Please allow me to take you to your room."
People walked into the interior of the minaret under the leadership of the elf servants, and went through a long, monotonous corridor and a series of elegant and simple arches to a place specially prepared for guests. Along the way, they met many curious elves. The palace staff stopped to look at the new guests in strange costumes, but the onlookers quickly dispersed under the scolding of the young elves in charge of leading the way.
"Sorry, this is really a loss of royal system, they are just too curious." The young elf nodded to Hao Ren with apology.
After coming to the middle of the minaret through a lifting device, they were taken to an oval-shaped hall with a circle of rooms around it. This is the guest room area specially prepared for VIPs. The entire hall and all rooms around are allocated to these noble guests. So it can be used at will. The young elf said goodbye to the crowd in front of the elevator door: "Guests please rest here. The cabinet at the end of the hall has prepared food. The formal dinner will be delivered in the evening. If you need it, you can press the green pager in the room. Or go directly to the royal guard in the elevator. "
Hao Ren nodded again and again to express a good understanding. After sending the elf girl away, only he and a bunch of friends will be left on the scene. Lily was suffocated by the serious "royal atmosphere" here halfway along. At this time, when the outsiders had left, Aowuu happily circled around Hao Ren several times. Then began to flow in various rooms. Vivian stretched out: "After all, it's the queen, where I live!"
"That's right, people's resources are strained, but after all, they still maintain a normal life." Hao Ren finished walking around in several rooms as curiously as Lily. He found that even the VIP room was actually The furnishings are also very simple. They are everyday furniture that can be seen at a glance in usage and function. Tables, chairs and beds are obviously products of large-scale industrial production. The single style and lack of details are enough to explain that they are from Manufactured on some kind of low-cost assembly line. This is the salient feature of a resource-constrained life-supporting society: social rulers may have more quotas than others, but they still use the same things as others, and all social resources come cheap and fast Industrial assembly line. Special manual manufacturing processes and fine carving processes have been completely eliminated.
However, the queen status of Hilda still has some special things here: some ornamental plants can be seen in the hall and in each room. These vigorous green bonsais make these monotonous rooms a little angry. Aerym Elves is a race from the forest. They have indescribable feelings for plants. Although they have to shut themselves in efficient industrial machines in order to survive, they will still work hard as long as there is a way. Add a little green to where you live. The guardian of the Hilda before also explained that the traditional skills of Aerym Elves are inseparable from plants-but it is estimated that this "luxury" traditional technique can only be retained by the royal family and nobility: the ecological dome is limited.
One end of the elliptical hall is a lift, and the other is a huge round floor-to-ceiling window. From this angle, you can overlook a large city. Hao Ren stands in front of the window and looks at the strange world scenery outside and the sky above the city. The dome of the house shines filtered brilliant sunlight. Watching the gray city below be gradually coated with gold, watching various small aircrafts shuttle through the gradually falling sunset. Vivian didn't know when he came to him: "I don't consider the bad situation here, but the scenery is pretty good."
Hao Ren nodded and said nothing. He is recalling what the employee manual says, and trying to examine the whole thing with the attitude that a censor should be: he has been carefully observing every detail of the Aerym Elves society since he landed on this floating island. To understand this civilization and their current situation from their urban characteristics and everyone's words and deeds, as an alien, and an alien with a world view and ethnicity that are very different from the locals, it is somewhat necessary to make these judgments. Difficult, but this kind of observation is a required course for the examiner. Looking at the scenery outside, he raised his hand and poked ASanbaA in his pocket for a while, "Give a suggestion."
"No suggestion. From now on, this matter will be handled by a standard process of an examiner," ASanbaA responded. "Only to give you a hint: The Chief Raven said that he will let you 'full power' Can understand what she means. This machine hopes that you can use your own ability to solve this matter. Do n’t call the goddess support or other superior troops at all times, build your own strength and contacts, and solve all problems independently. This is a qualified one. Examiner should have the ability to act. In addition, the upper limit of action is not to interfere with other civilized civilizations. Under no circumstances can you help a civilization with your preference at the expense of another civilization. At this point, you cannot There are personal likes and dislikes. "
Hao Ren hehe: "You do n’t have to worry about this last, I know who I do n’t want to find."
Lily quickly circled all the rooms around. At this time, she started to feel hungry according to her unwavering biological clock. She remembered that the elf maid said that there was a food cabinet before she left. Ran to find something to eat, and then a few rectangular boxes were pulled out from a metal cabinet not far away: "This is what you eat Ah? looks strange ..."
She threw these little boxes on the table, and Hao Ren saw some strange things in these boxes ... composite. Most of them are yellow or green rectangular strips, about as long as fingers, and they feel a bit loose when pinched. Lily curiously threw one into his mouth, chewed a few times, and frowned: "Nothing. Wow! It ’s a bit salty ... it ’s like a salted chalk head! "
"Have you eaten chalk?" Vivian gave her a squint.
Lily was not embarrassed at all: "I have eaten, and I took a bite when I saw the chalk for the first time. The taste is still fresh in my memory."
The girl inherited the fine traditions of her family from her parents, that is, no matter what rare things they see, they bite first and taste the saltiness ...
These synthetic foods with a taste of chalk do n’t like Lily, which has never been picky eaters, so she found another food: it is a paste filled in a cylinder, which looks like cream, smells It also tasted a little sweet. Lily dug a little bit with his fingers and put it into his mouth. As a result, the first bite of the belly was "poo" and fluffyly fried: "Organic oil smell!"
ASanbaA floated out of the Hao Ren pocket and checked those things: "They are all chemical products that can provide the necessary energy for carbon-based organisms, but don't expect the taste and taste. Adding special tastes and tastes must be more complicated. Production line, this is a waste. "(To be continued.)
