Chapter 72: Elves

　　 The obelisk is indeed a very spectacular building. Pure black and heavy, unlike the material texture of rock or metal, but the structure is integrated, the giant floating in the air without any support is impressive. This scene can't help but remind him...
　　 "It's very similar to the black stele that appeared in "2001: A Space Odyssey"."
　　 Ms. real name commented.
　　 It turns out that the AI ​​will still watch Kubrick's movies a few hundred years later, and Richard was surprised by this.
　　……
　　 A base station, or a public mobile communication base station, is an interface device for mobile devices to access the Internet. It is a transceiver station that can communicate information with mobile terminals in a certain radio coverage area. Although it is not clear to what extent the base station in the future world has reached, its operating efficiency is naturally more powerful than an ordinary "terminal"-a single individual or a magic book.
　　 "That is the obelisk."
　　 Shikoudi, who was walking in front, said with a smile.
　　 "It looks so beautiful."
　　 Richard did not answer, but he was secretly wary.
　　 Is this witch actually instructed by her teacher to find out why Rasputin longed for the obelisk?
　　 Needless to say, Richard is naturally full of distrust of the poem Cordy Miller who chose to break away from the Black Blood Society and come to his own school. Moreover, the other party still has a chance to see the prophet of his own body. With the two superimposed, Richard now almost feels a headache when he sees each other. However, the witch's actions often fail to meet his wishes, and almost every day she finds reasons to appear in front of her and wander around...
　　 As for the kindness that "Rasputin" had saved her twice, including herself, Richard thought it would be better not to take it seriously. On the one hand, he didn’t know exactly how the other party thought of him. After all, she was a wizard, and
Zhigentubao
was a very rare virtue for this group; on the other hand, even if Shikoudi herself treated herself There is no malice or even good feelings, but Longman Hall behind her is an object who must never relax his vigilance.
　　 Richard saw his fierce expression when he was angry at the fireside meeting. He was not at all like a wizard who had been soaking in libraries and laboratories all the year round. He was more like a crazy gangster and a bloodthirsty desperado.
"Teacher, he has never taken out the obelisk. I don't even know he still has this thing in his hand. In this regard, Master Rasputin, you are more generous than him, and you are willing to give the people on the tower a chance. See the truth."
　　Shi Kodi was obviously adapted to Rasputin’s indifference, and continued to say half-jokingly
　　 It's not that I am more generous. Everyone instinctively chooses to hide such good things. Just considering the utility of the device... Richard did not know whether the other wizards understood the principle of operation of the Obelisk, at least he did not see the relevant records in Rasputin's authority.
　　 But Richard is different. After he understood the nature of the obelisk, he immediately tried to find out the operating mode and efficiency of this base station with the real lady. Then, Richard discovered that the efficiency of the obelisk was still related to distance, and there were still limitations on its own coverage. With the help of his real name, he calculated the angle and position that would maximize his power.
In the end, he could only choose to use his authority as a wizard leader to find a way to make the obelisk stand high above the sky, side by side with the magic tower, and only this way—according to the new world—projected inside the obelisk" "Magic power" could cover the area where he tried to interfere.
　　 This move is obviously risky. There is no way to keep others from prying eyes on things that are put upright in the outside world. However, if Richard can successfully "spiritualize" the obelisk, relying on the power of the Lord of Cursed Spirit is enough to guard this area.
　　......
　　 is different from what I was worried about. The other party just mentioned it casually, and did not delve into it.
　　 Soon, they came to the residential area.
　　 Off the beaten track here, the area is small, but the environment is very beautiful. Green forests, secluded lakes, artistic fountains and marble sculptures can be seen everywhere, as well as the flowery garden in the center. The flowers in the garden are in full bloom all year round. The trees and meadows are full of colorful flowers. For wizards in the realm of life, wanting to do this kind of thing couldn't be easier.
　　 The atmosphere of the residential area is incompatible with the top floor of the magic tower. Only high-level members who have reached a certain status can live here; ordinary wizards have no choice but to choose to live in a room in the residence, just like Richard did in the past. Moreover, the size, location and lighting of the room are all closely related to the position of the wizard, and are part of Tanesen's strict hierarchy.
　　 Of course, as usual, the five wizard leaders are definitely not included in these complicated rules. Even if they wanted to settle in the witches’ dormitory, no one would dare to object.
　　……
　　 The residence for guests is a mansion above the water. The white walls are surrounded by green water and red flowers. Leading to the mansion is a pontoon bridge across the quiet river, covered with green vines and woven leaves. What's even more amazing is that this mansion is only surrounded by a low wall nearby, but the main body "grows" on a tree.
　　 "This is a residence specially prepared for guests like him. Because of their racial and custom hobbies, they prefer a place close to nature."
　　 Race?
　　 Richard was puzzled by the words Shikodi had adopted, but he quickly understood what it meant, and he couldn't help feeling a little expectant in his heart. Only heard the witch continue to introduce.
　　 "This person served as the of Earl Metz, the backbone member of the new southern nobility of the Rhine Kingdom, and was once one of the heads of the Knights Templar. The name is Commons Morningstar."
　　 Shi Koudi's words have a first pause.
　　 "Is an elves from the New World."
　　...Sure enough.
　　
　　The elves are one of several intelligent races in the Mayan world except human beings. They live on the new continent separated by oceans.
　　 They have a physique that humans have more affinity for magical powers, and have a longer life span than ordinary humans. At the same time, they are also known to have excellent appearances. All members of the ethnic group are known for being handsome men and women. They are often the incarnation of the beauty described by writers. They are lovers and guardians of art and nature. The elves love nature, with delicate emotions and beautiful melody. They are born poets and dancers.
　　 Since the beginning of the Age of Navigation, the elves living on the isolated new continent have gradually increased their exchanges with the Maya Continent. The people of the Dark Iron Age witnessed for the first time the true face of a beautiful race that was only looming in the legend. But on the other hand, the conflict between the two intelligent races then surfaced. Most elves don't have a good impression of the dirty and greedy humans in their eyes.
　　 On the one hand, it is due to the prevailing slave trade between the New World and the main continent. The elves with good looks and alien appeal tend to be sought after by the upper society of various countries, so they have become coveted high-priced goods in the eyes of privateer fleets, pirates, and slave merchants-although in theory It is illegal, but interest drives fanatical hearts. There are many conflicts that have erupted from this. The elves will naturally not show off to foreigners who have committed the extreme crime of trafficking in compatriots;
　　On the other hand, even before the slave trade prevailed, the relationship between the elves and humans was not friendly. They consider themselves to be the darlings of nature and are naturally more noble than other races, so they are naturally hostile to the "barbaric humans" who rely on the number of ethnic groups to dominate the world.
Compared with the dwarf who lives underground and lives in isolation, and the orcs who have to live in the northern corner of the mainland due to the harsh winter and the boundless ice field, the development of the elves can be called prosperity, but due to the birth rate Low, and the human beings all over the world are still incomparable.
　　 In short, the relationship between the elves and humans is basically indifferent and even hostile~EbookFREE.me~ However, no matter what era and region, there will always be a few exceptions. They don't care about race or historical disputes, and they are willing to interact with foreign races with kindness and enthusiasm.
　　 Richard is about to see one of them.
　　……
　　 When I came to the pontoon bridge on the lake, I saw a dense lush forest. On the side of the forest, there are huge green shadows intertwined and stacked. It is not so much the root system of a tree, but more like a vine. It has an unusually thick body like a bucket, entrenched on the shallow water.
　　The vines covered by creeper and branches constitute a simple wooden house, as if it were a naturally grown fruit. As Shi Koudi said, this "spawned" house is quite close to nature.
　　 "Elf..."
　　 The elves in the Mayan world are actually quite similar to the "long-eared race" that Richard used to see in fantasy novels in the book description. He didn't know whether this was just a coincidence.
Since that day, Richard has always been curious about the intelligent races other than humans in the Mayan world. He looked aside calmly, only to see the black-haired girl staring at the tree house. In the direction of her, she showed an unprecedented serious expression.
　　...He thinks that Miss Real Name should have the same thoughts about this.
　　 As a human being from the distant past, from an old world country that has long been forgotten in the long river of history, Richard will inevitably feel complicated when encountering a familiar and unfamiliar situation.
　　What exactly is an elf? A kind of aliens, a kind of aliens, or... is it a creation left by ancient humans?
