Chapter 794

Early the next morning, the Silver Eagle scouts packed up and set out. It's a few days before the snow month. Countless snowflakes are flying over the woods. The weather is very cold, but the snow layer on the ground is not too thick. It just freezes the muddy land formed in the rainy season, which is suitable for the team to March quickly.

Silver Eagle Scouts must climb the azolta mountains in the distance before the snow closes the mountain, Ilus Yuege is worried that when tracking the human expedition, he gets too close to each other, resulting in the disclosure of the whereabouts of the Silver Eagle scouts. Therefore, she chose to take a long way around and asked her subordinates to march in a hurry, trying to find a place to camp on the mountain in four days.

In fact, her worry is superfluous. The straight-line distance between the abandoned camp and the azolta mountains is about 800 kilometers, and the Randall expedition can reach the foot of the mountain in only one day and one night. Previously, in order to replenish supplies, the expeditionary army only walked an average of more than 200 kilometers a day. If it was in a hurry, it would have thrown off the silver moon scouts. At this time, the expedition led by Nelson and Charlotte had begun to climb the mountain, and the Silver Eagle scouts could not catch up with them even if they walked in a straight line.

However, Ilus chose to detour and let Victor determine one thing. The halfling adventurer can track the secret road signs left by other halflings. If the Silver Eagle scouts are strange, they don't have to worry about losing Bobo and Tian Tian's team.

Qiqi sat his fierce black wolf and led the way at the front of the team; All the elf soldiers walk. They use a unique breathing method to save physical energy. Their footsteps are light. Their marching speed is comparable to that of war horses, but they can't speak on the way; Short legged dwarf guards ride on bighorn sheep. They wear heavy clothes, but they are the most relaxed. They talk all the way, and their mouths don't stop. Victor has learned the attribute of dwarf tuberculosis.

"Victor, Victor, Victor... Your name is strange. Well, I mean, it sounds strange. I still call you nightingale."

"Nightingale, it's easy to call. It may be a famous family in the future... By the way, is your original ethnic group called Nightingale village? Do you have any words? I mean, can you read? Ha ha, I guess you can't read... Oh, I'm not laughing at you, I'm happy. Yes, I'm happy... Famous families must read. It doesn't matter if you can't read. I can teach you, so I'm happy I can teach a famous family to praise the moon god, the hills and my beard... "

Victor gave a cold look at the chattering igloo Grey beard said angrily, "has anyone told you that you are really annoyed?"

Eglo patted the bighorn sheep's thick neck and continued: "this is the dwarf's enthusiasm, just like the flame in the furnace, warm people's hearts, like the spring breeze, sweating and angry... I can understand your irritability, but I will teach you to read..."

Victor calmly pulled out a bone arrow and stabbed his backhand on the hind leg of the bighorn sheep. Then the tuberculosis dwarf was taken away by his mount.

This stabbing the goat's ass can clean Victor's ears for five minutes. Then the other dwarves will take eglo's place and run to talk to Mr. nightingale.

Dwarves like to brag and show off. Their big mouth is like an unbreakable door. They can say a lot of words and have no sense of confidentiality. Of course, they have regarded Mr. nightingale with high elf blood as a companion. Apart from those worthless nonsense, Victor has a deeper understanding of the elf Empire and ELF city states from the nagging of dwarves.

Most of the people of Silver Eagle City are wild elves. They are not as exquisite, elegant and love nature and art as humans think. In fact, more than 80% of the wild elves are illiterate, rough and belligerent, braver than human civilians. Victor felt that the behavior style of wild elf soldiers was close to the fictional Amazon female soldiers in the earth world, and liked to treat prey and enemies cruelly. Of course, the male to female ratio of wild elves is one to one, and the family status is determined by the respective strength of husband and wife. In March of the water season every year, adult unmarried wild elves conduct unarmed martial arts competitions. The winners choose their partners and the losers are selected regardless of gender.

In this regard, wild elves are very similar to barbarians, and humans often combine because of love, at least advocating romantic love. However, wild Elves will have a love life after marriage. The so-called romantic love of elves is purely the imagination of human beings to live on their own. The reason is very simple. The physiological characteristics of wild elves are different from those of humans. They reach adulthood at the age of 20 and activate their fertility only after marriage. Female wild elves conceive once every two years on average. Ordinary human beings are 15-year-old adults with almost no birth restrictions. As long as they grow up and mature, they will pursue their favorite objects in the name of love.

Compared with tree elves and moon elves, Victor pays special attention to the wild elves with the largest population base. Their living conditions determine the overall strength of the elf Empire, which can be compared horizontally with the human kingdom.

The average life span of wild elves is longer than human beings, the population scale is smaller than human beings, and the individual strength is stronger than ordinary people. According to the life level standard of the elf Empire, the wild elf is a second-order intelligent species, which is similar to the Jackal; Humans can only be regarded as first-order creatures, and goblins and fishmen are of the same order. Specifically, ordinary wild elves are agile marksmen who can skillfully use the 1.7-meter-long elf bow. Human elite longbowmen must receive rigorous training, and their shooting level is not necessarily comparable to that of ordinary wild elf hunters.

However, there is no upper limit on the level of human life. There will be a naturally violent warrior in every 7000 people. Ordinary soldiers can also show the characteristics of ferocity after receiving secret law training. The proportion of wild elves' ferocity is pitifully low, which can be described as rare.

Although the life of the elves is heavily fortified, the elves Empire popularizes the battle breathing method, has a very complete power inheritance system, and even extends to the servants of the elves. The people of Silver Eagle City can not read, but they must systematically learn combat breathing and combat skills.

The secret method of soul and blood created by Victor is universal. However, it is almost impossible to achieve universal popularization due to the limitations of divine art resources, medicine resources, food resources and armament resources. It must be the privilege of the elite.

In terms of the degree of civilization, there is no gap between the two generations, and there is no doubt that the elf empire is more dominant. The weapons used by the Silver Eagle scouts are excellent. The ordinary refined iron alloy sword has been forged and beaten by the dwarf blacksmith. Its density and toughness are higher than those of human refined iron weapons. Its armor breaking, sharpness and firmness are not inferior to the refined gold weapons specially used by knights.

In terms of economy, trade, military and politics, the elf Empire adopted a high degree of autonomy of city states and villages. For example, Silver Eagle City did not impose compulsory taxes and conscription on subordinate villages and towns. Because the bottom residents don't have to pay taxes or perform military service, they live a rich life and have disposable private property, so as to promote the development of city-state trade. The Elven city states used their own gold, silver and copper coins as circulating currency, but the Elven Empire took amber as the basis of the whole monetary system. The famous families in the autonomous city-state monopolize the market trade. They control the shops in the city, and the village residents go to Yinying city to buy and sell products through these shops. The city-state elite also set up caravans to travel to and from the city-state to engage in hiking trade.

Although the villages and towns of the elf Empire do not need to pay taxes, they will take the initiative and consciously offer products and gold coins to the king's daughter Council, and pray for the noble moon god sacrifice to give the seeds of the moon tree on time, so as to ensure the normal operation of the moon well in the villages and towns. They have no military service. When the Silver Eagle City Council mobilizes for war, they will also send troops to their villages and towns.

The sun tree and moon tree are the core of the political system of the elf empire. Victor believed that the upper class of the elf Empire did not levy taxes and did not recruit soldiers in order to be lazy. What made him angry was that the city states of the elf empire could smoothly absorb excellent talents without doing anything.

Ailanta, the capital of the elves, holds a sun blessing ceremony every 36 years on average. The young generation of war workers in all city states want to participate in the blessing ceremony presided over by the elves queen. For example, iris The Silver Eagle scouts summoned by Yuege are all young warlords in Silver Eagle City. If they recapture the sacred objects of the moon goddess and make contributions to the elf Empire, once they go to elenta to receive the blessing of the sun, more than half of them will choose to stay in elenta. In the same way, the young soldiers in the spirit village also want to join the famous gate of Silver Eagle City and accept the blessing of the moon tree.

Excellent war officials flow to the city-state famous doors, and the elves and towns below have no strength to challenge the authority of the city-state Parliament. In the long run, Alanta has formed a strong cohesion to the elf city-state and the elf city-state to the subordinate villages and towns. Even if they adopt an almost lazy high degree of autonomy policy, it not only does not weaken the ruling power of the Empire, but also reduces the spear and shield conflict between the ruling class and the ruled class.

In the final analysis, the number of high elves is too small. There are only 16 adult moon elves in Silver Eagle City. They live at the apex of city-state politics and occupy the most city-state resources. However, the elves can only have one or two offspring every month. They don't have to compete for power and profit, let alone manage the villages and towns below. They simply let it go and don't even bother to collect taxes. The political strife of the elf city-state is limited to the middle class represented by the tree elves, which is also a small contradiction within the city-state. It is definitely not as fierce and sharp as the political struggle of the human kingdom.

It is still unknown how many cities and towns there are in the elf empire. Generally speaking, the fertility level of elves and servants is low, the population growth is slow, the personnel mobility is poor, and the life at the bottom of society is stable and rich. Although the overall strength of the elves empire is far higher than that of human countries, they do not have a strong willingness to explore.

Victor believes that the possibility of the elf Empire threatening the human kingdom is very low, but it is also very difficult to develop diplomatic relations and conclude offensive and defensive alliances with them.

However, if the target of the black blood devil is a native human, the human kingdom needs the strong support of the elf empire.

Even for such an important holy thing as "Freya's tears", only Silver Eagle City sent an informal scouting team to find out. With such a loose style of the high elves, Victor suspected that washing himself, packing and buying it to the elves royal family would not promote the alliance between the elves Empire and the human kingdom.

In the evening, the Silver Eagle scouts walked about 300 kilometers. After Ruth asked Victor's opinion, she ordered to camp and rest. The elf soldiers still have fighting physical strength, but no one wants to move any more. They sit on the ground one by one and use the breathing method to recover their physical strength. Energetic dwarf guards are responsible for chores and vigilance. They are good at wine making and iron making, and their cooking is average. Dried meat sweet soup with dry bread is dinner. Jokes, boasting and singing at a loud voice are extra food side dishes given by dwarves.

After a lively dinner, all the elf soldiers climbed to the tree to rest, and the dwarfs stayed in the middle of the night. In the second half of the night, the elf soldiers took turns to change dwarves to rest. Several female war dancers quietly hid into the depths of the forest. Two people were responsible for guarding. The rest took off their armor clothes and practiced war dance breathing on the snow with a sword in the face of the cold night wind.

"Nightingale, you should not be an adult?" Iris Yuege silently jumped on the branch, came to victor and whispered.

Victor carefully observed the dancers practicing breathing. Without looking back, he asked, "what do you want to say?"

Ilus was a little discouraged. She wanted to follow the dwarf and joke with the Nightingale, but she knew that the Nightingale could not be interested in the wild elf woman. The big elves don't grow up until they are 60 years old. They don't understand love until they marry the moon elves. Neither wild elves nor tree elves can attract the attention of the big elves.

According to Ruth's estimation, the Nightingale was less than 50 years old. He was interested in the fighting breathing method of the elves, so he turned to say: "This is the war dance breathing method. It's best to practice naked in the moonlight. Although there are clouds in the sky, they can't hinder the connection between the moon and the elves. They are all adults, so they should practice separately from their male companions, because we don't want to find a partner now... The blessing of the elves who have children will be greatly reduced by the moon tree or the sun tree. When we promote the tree elves, or even the moon Elves talk about marriage. If promotion fails, they can only choose a suitable partner to form a family. "

"Nightingale, your group inherits the breath of the moon god?" Yiruth couldn't restrain her inner desire and finally asked.

"The breath of the moon god?" Victor looked back at the wild elf general with different eyes, picked his slender eyebrows and said, "you might as well tell me."

With a cheer, Ilus said in a low voice: "The great sun tree gave birth to the first month elves and the first big elves. Each of their descendants is a moon tree. They will breathe like the moon tree and absorb the power of the moon. The earliest breathing method was handed down by Freya, the moon god. It is said that the elves practice that breathing method and can naturally promote the moon elves. We all call it 'breath of the moon god'."

"Do you think I master the breath of the moon god?" Victor stretched out his slender white fingers and stroked ELUS's eyebrows and eyes. His movements were as gentle as the wind at night. He rubbed her rough, tight and elastic cheeks with his palm and asked, "or is any breathing method that can promote the spirit naturally 'the breath of the moon god'... What about your breathing method?"

The Nightingale's behavior was natural. ELUS, who was stroked by him, was as quiet as bathing in the bright and flawless moonlight. She was neither offended nor charming.

"Do you want to see my original breathing method?" She asked earnestly, gazing into the Nightingale's deep and charming eyes.

"If you don't mind... Of course." Victor nodded blandly.

Yiruth suddenly had an absurd feeling that she was the one who showed him the mystery of breathing, but the Nightingale took it for granted.

The inexplicable idea flashed away. Yuege took off her armor in a big way, revealing her strong and slender body and mysterious magic patterns of war and dance. Her muscles are symmetrical and angular, just like a female moon blade leopard full of power and beauty.

Victor would like to tell the wild elf general that she doesn't have to take off her clothes, but she has already taken them off. It's embarrassing to let her wear them again, and it also undermines the style of the angry wind sword saint.

According to Ruth's breathing method, the white fog spewed out from her nose, forming a vortex that condensed but did not disperse. It seemed that there was only breath out but no breath in, but the magic pattern on the body surface was faintly relaxed and rhythmic, as if living branches were breathing air. She felt a gentle and soothing wind pouring into her body from her skin. At first, she swam with her breathing rhythm, and gradually, the wind The cool wind pushes her breathing rhythm and changes her breathing method.

With her eyes closed, Ilus could stop demonstrating the breathing method, but her intuition told her to seize this precious opportunity. She relaxed and let the constant wind take her to breathe. With the change of the breathing method, her spirit rose infinitely, broke through the dark clouds and saw the bright and flawless silver moon.

The silver moonlight is like water mist. It uses the breeze as a bridge to penetrate into her body and continuously moisturize her heart and blood.

"This is the reward I paid you in advance... You should remember that every elf is a moonlight tree, but the moonlight tree is different from the moonlight tree... The breath of the moon god suitable for you may be the poison of other elves."

The Nightingale's voice was far away from her ears. Yiruth had no time to take care of it. Her mind was completely immersed in the joy of practicing "the breath of the moon god".
