3.1 Young man, let's run an errand? Next

Thanks to Gu Yinghao's monthly ticket.∈♀

--------------

The first feeling of being in a busy harbor is that Dovinian is not an elf city, but rather a human city.

Ninety-nine percent of the pedestrians who come and go are humans.

There are all kinds of dresses, including Gondor style, Rohan style, and Northern Dendan style. Of course, the most common one is the Luen people who wear a headscarf and paint a black circle.

After asking, I found out that the elves had only opened up vast wine estates on both sides of the valley outside the city, and there were not many elves living in the city.

Dovinian's prosperity is inseparable from the wine estate. For a moment, Wu Chen thought of the same prosperous town of Buli and the legendary Leaping Horse Inn. Later, he actually saw a few hobbits.

Middle-earth bloodline, well, is very complicated. And it is not embarrassing to mix each other. For example, humans and elves, dwarves and hobbits, orcs and sheboys (→_→)... There are so many places where trade is prosperous, the more common mixed blood is. Many people are happy overnight in hotels, and they wake up and take off their birds. After many years, they come back and see that they are happy as fathers.

In this era, especially on the human side, there is no good family or prostitute. There is such a clear line between girls. It is normal for girls in taverns to make appointments for sex or something occasionally. And they leave. If they are really pregnant, they will probably be born alone and raise them happily.

Therefore, it often appears in fantasy adventure novels. A humble young man suddenly discovered one day that he was a powerful hero, a powerful lord, or even a king's bloodline!

The method of judging whether a descendant of a big man is also extremely simple and crude. The appearance, hair color, family characteristics, family ornaments, and even the color of the eyes are all methods of distinguishing. Generally speaking, every teenager seems to have a token that can be used for father and son to recognize each other.

At first, Wu Chen didn't understand, but later he woke up.

Which prostitute doesn't pay for money!

It’s very reasonable to just pull a ring and jade pendant!

Fortunately, this city has lords and guards formed by mercenaries maintaining chaotic public order.

Having said that, Wu Chen's oriental appearance is actually not so conspicuous here. I heard that he comes from Changhu Town in the north, people would look at him twice more.

If you are not familiar with the place, staying in the house is the first choice.

In a place of prosperous trade, the safety of taverns is absolutely guaranteed. Because serious business can make money, no one is willing to make a mistake.

After finding a medium-sized hotel and asking for an exquisite suite, Wu Chen comfortably spread himself on the bed.

The breeding suit faded into his navel like a tide, and Beyonetta and others had come to wash him. The demon wolves were running along the river bank, and it would not take long to come and meet him. Wu Chen, who was not planning to be the main line, had too much free time.

When she was in River Valley, Ophelia asked the dwarf craftsmen to create a lot of alchemy equipment. Although it was a thousand miles away from the science fiction world, it was enough to support her in doing basic research. These days, she was trying to crack the secrets of the dragon-slaying notes in Folin.

Wu Chen, who is used to science fiction near future world, felt inexplicably tired from the beginning of being in Middle Earth. Even with two beauties, he could still sleep. In addition to being a little seasick, of course, this is also related to being too relaxed in the electronic world some time ago.

When I woke up, I felt refreshed.

After finishing breakfast early, Wu Chen asked the hotel owner about the wine estate.

Perhaps it was too early and there were not many guests in the hotel. The owner, who had a lot of free time, told Wu Chen about some of the recent situations in the city. First of all, the wine production has not been reduced, and the aged wine from major manors has been ranked dozens or even hundreds of years ago. The reason for the supply cut is related to the rising trade tax.

Because supply agreements are ordered every few years, especially for dark jungle elves, it is ordered every few decades. However, with the continuous increase in trade taxes, it has been far higher than the supply price signed by the winery and jungle elves.

In other words, selling alcohol not only does not make money, but also has to lose money. As a last resort, it can only stop supply.

This answer is very reasonable. However, after careful consideration, there are many flaws.

First of all, the elves in the dark forest and the Dowinian elves belong to the group that did not move westward, and they should be very close to each other. If it is just because of the price fluctuation, can't we negotiate? As far as Wu Chen knows, the elves should not be short of this little money.

In contrast, Dowinian's Elf Winery can make the best wines in the Middle Earth and even produce the prosperous Dowinian. The profits should be very considerable. Even if the contract with the distant relative of the dark forest has been signed for decades, it has lost some money in recent years, and it will be back after the next order. There is no vision or integrity?

So, from both sides, this kind of thing can't happen.

However it happened.

This is why Wu Chen is interested.

After leaving the hotel, Wu Chen rented a few fast horses and headed straight to the Elf Winery outside the city. However, when he followed the directions of the road signs and arrived at the winery, he found that it turned out to be a war castle!

A high wall similar to the fortress of the Holy Helmet Valley that killed countless dead orcs blocked the entrance of the river valley, and the high ground on both sides were full of vines. Unlike the vineyards that Wu Chen remembered, these thick grape vines that climbed the slopes and occupied the tops of the hills were actually thicker than the trunks of many trees that Wu Chen had seen!

Is this a vine?

The vines wrapped with vines were raised high, turning the vast land into a whole green forest!

After reaching out the high wall and hanging onto the vines at his feet, Wu Chen vaguely saw the corpses of many birds and beasts entangled by the vines!

No wonder the wine that appears here is the best in the world. It turns out that it is sucking the blood of living creatures! This is the same as adding virgin blood to wine!

"Master, these vines..."

"That's right, just like the tree herders in the Fagon Forest, these trees are alive." No wonder the elves can reproduce under the iron hooves of the Lune. Thinking about the end of the extended version of the Lord of the Rings 2, Wu Chen immediately understood the consequences of the powerful orcs who escaped into the Fagon Forest!

This is also a tree that can eat people!

Looking around, although the map of Middle Earth is not marked as a forest, the vines everywhere are almost the same as the forest.

Wu Chen was still in a daze. The subtle and melodious flute sound suddenly rang out, and the vines retreated to both sides like a tide, revealing the outline of the ancient castle gate.

"Who are you?" A crisp question sounded from the gatehouse.

"Oh, I am an envoy from Changhu Town, and I am fully responsible for handling the wine orders of the Dark Jungle King." Wu Chen gave himself a decent title.

"So that's how it is..." The voice didn't seem to be surprising, "Please wait."

The ancient gate slowly opened, and a group of elves archers rushed out immediately.

Although there is no arrow pointing to Wu Chen, every bow and arrow can be fired at any time. Wu Chen believes that with their abilities, there is no need to aim anymore.

"Human, show me your messenger's certificate." The leading archer was the one who spoke to Wu Chen before.

"Here." Wu Chen was nervous and bowed over and handed over the document that the tavern owner gave him.

The elf looked at it and immediately smiled: "The mark is right."

Is it because the boss is too powerful or the elf is too simple?

"Come with me." The female elf waved and signaled Wu Chen to follow her.

Wu Chen immediately drove his horse into the castle.

Although he knew that it was still far from his head, Wu Chen would subconsciously look up and look at the lush grape trellis. He was afraid that behind the crystal clear and blood-red grapes, he would suddenly stretch out a vine hand and drag him up.

"Don't be afraid, grapes do not eat people." The female elf who led the way smiled and comforted her.

"That, do they eat something else?" Wu Chen saw the corpses of many birds and beasts outside.

"No, they eat nothing. The corpses of birds and beasts you see are because the greedy birds want to peck at the ripe grapes, so..."

"I understand." It turned out that it was not sucking blood but self-defense, and Wu Chen felt a little relieved.

Like all the elves castles, the winery built in the valley is elegant and elegant, full of artistic atmosphere. Wu Chen found that the inner wall of the castle is not high from the ground, but because of the natural drop of the high ground on both sides of the surrounding valley, people standing outside in the low-lying place seemed to be very high.

Wu Chen discovered that it was not so much a war castle as a giant support frame for the vines...

The castle in the center and the tower surrounding the castle, plus a circle of solid walls, form a complete support frame. The vines that are vigorous and powerful, embracing several people, or even dozens of people, can be perfectly supported. Fully stretch the body, get enough sunshine, rain and dew, and fertile soil, let the elves' grape forest grow into towering trees.

However, compared to the huge vines, the fruits appear much thinner.

"So, it's not the reason for the price." Wu Chen murmured.

"That's right, it's not because of the price." The female elf who led the way heard it.

In fact, the elves in Middle Earth are not far from humans in terms of appearance. Otherwise, the female wood elves would not fall in love with a dwarf and think he is very handsome. Therefore, Wu Chen, who is used to being good-looking, has no stunning feelings about the elves in Middle Earth.

It’s like sliding from a high demon world to a low demon world all at once, but it’s like all kinds of discomforts.

By the way, Middle Earth is a typical low-demon world.

This can be seen from the number of wizards and the magic they use.

In the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Speaker of the Saint White Council and the powerful white-robed wizard Saruman also used a fireball technique before his death.

Fireball is the lowest-level fire spell in many high-demon worlds...

The horse was handed over to the elf driver in front of the stone steps. Wu Chen and his female companion stepped on the stone steps and stepped on the arch bridge leading to the castle.
