Elves are known as one of the greatest creations in the wizarding world in the past 500 years.
They free up the hands of wizards and act as assistants to wizards. Wizards can use their free brains and hands to do more meaningful things, instead of carefully watching the flames or holding glassware tremblingly.
According to Xiao Xiao's explanation, elves are magical alchemy creatures produced in groups. There are no two identical groups of elves in the world.
For example, the elves of the sowing system. When they are still seeds, the growers must prepare a suitable potion for them according to their own thoughts and wishes. Until they sprout and grow up, these elves can only live on these potions.
.
Their lives are closely linked to the wizards. If the wizard who planted them dies, the elves who lose the supply of potions will also die.
Zheng Qing felt this was very unfair.
"They are also intelligent beings. Wouldn't it be unethical to do this?" Zheng Qing racked his brains, trying to find some suitable words.
"What is wisdom? What is life? Are they intelligent life? Whose ethics do they conform to?" Xiao Xiao asked a series of rhetorical questions. After every question he asked, he put a grilled scallop on his plate.
Zheng Qing was speechless. He could only silently pick some squid rings from the dinner plate.
"This is a very profound philosophical question, and it is difficult to explain it clearly in a few words." Xiao Xiao finally picked up a glass of juice, took a sip, and concluded: "But according to the general consensus in the wizarding world, elves are between wisdom and chaos.
Alchemical products. They cannot be regarded as intelligent beings. Moreover, they do not apply to the ethics of wizards."
Zheng Qing filled a bowl of corn soup with dismay.
He looked at the elves flying around and felt that Xiao Xiao's statement was wrong.
"This way!" Not far away, Li Meng waved her little hand, occupied a large table, and greeted them.
The little monk Shi Yuan was sitting silently next to her, with only a bowl of white rice and a plate of boiled cabbage in front of him.
The dining table was not far from the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Sitting in front of the dining table, Zheng Qing could clearly see the rolling sea of clouds and the dazzling sunshine outside the window.
Putting down the dinner plate, Zheng Qing leaned lazily on the soft leather sofa.
A strong aroma rushed over from behind.
"What does this smell like?" He sniffed, feeling that the scent seemed familiar.
"Poodle." Xiao Xiao sat opposite him and explained expressionlessly.
Li Meng squirted the juice in his mouth onto the ground with a pop, and bent over, laughing so hard that he was out of breath. Several elves rushed over in horror, brought a stack of wet wipes to Li Meng, and quickly
Clean the stains on the floor.
The young monk Shi Yuan finished chewing the rice in his mouth and recited "Amitabha".
Zheng Qing turned around and took a look, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sitting behind him was a tall and thin boy, the same boy who Xiao Xiao had previously commented on as being unsatisfactory in his use of perfume, and whom Li Meng described as smelling like a poodle.
This boy was sitting at the dining table with four or five companions. Hearing the roar of laughter, he glanced here in confusion. Then he frowned and quickly looked away.
…
Although there was a small piece of potato in the mashed potatoes that was not mashed, the sauce of the squid rings was a little spicy, and the aroma of the quail eggs was a little strong, I had to admit that the ingredients in this buffet were quite delicious. Zheng Qing took a big mouthful.
Corn soup, sticking out his tongue.
He raised his head and saw that Li Meng's little mouth opposite him was bulging and stuffed with food, very much like the hamster at home. Xiao Xiao slowly chewed his grilled scallops, his eyes fixed on the patterns on the shells, as if they could be seen on them.
To a new world.
The poodle's arrogant voice came from behind:
"Do you know that Four Seasons Square was attacked by a demon some time ago?"
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows and sat up a little straighter.
The encounter in Damingfang can be regarded as his most thrilling experience in eighteen years. Whether it was the thunder curse released by Thomas or the pig demon transformed by Fatty, they appeared in his sleep more than once.
As a witness, he was very interested in how other wizards viewed this matter.
The conversation behind him came clearly.
"I know, I know. There's a lot of noise in the newspapers. It's said that Jiuchufang City under the name of Four Seasons was attacked by unknown wild monsters, and all the leaders of the management committee were reprimanded by letters from the Wizards' Council. They seem to be dead.
There are few people." The speaker's voice was urgent, and there was some leakage of air. His mouth must be full of food.
"The statistics of the Beta Town Post are eight dead and 21 seriously injured." A sharp voice sneered: "As if no one could see the word game they were playing. Injured under the attack of wild monsters
, is there any chance of survival?"
"The report in "Gentlemen and Ladies" is very accurate. The number of deaths they counted was twenty-nine." Another voice seemed to lack confidence and added weakly: "The newspaper said that the Wizards Alliance has sent nine investigation teams.
, to check the security measures and procedures of Four Seasons Square, and the relevant report will be submitted and announced at the end of October."
"I'm also very curious. It is said that those who cause trouble in the cities are all wild monsters, and their number is very small. Most cities only have one wild monster." The last voice said slowly, with a tone full of doubts:
"According to regulations, a Wu League security team should be stationed in Fang City. The people in the security team should not be able to suppress even a wild monster."
"The security team has been transferred." The sound of air leaking in the mouth filled with food came again: "My uncle is the captain of the security team in Jinlingfang. They were transferred to the New World Assistance Defense a month ago. The transfer order was very special
Urgent, he just sent a message home. My aunt is always worried that something will happen, and she has been crying in front of my mother recently."
"Did the natives of the New World launch a massive counterattack?" The slow voice seemed to be very interested and asked: "Logically, the situation there should be very stable, and there should not be a shortage of manpower."
"No, no." The sound of air leakage sounded again, and Zheng Qing seemed to be able to see the owner of the sound shaking his head in panic: "My old man inquired about it, and it seems that the First University has some kind of mission, recalling many people stationed in the New World.
senior wizards. So there are not enough manpower there. There are no indigenous attacks."
The topic went further and further away. The poodle who started the topic coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention.
"Do you know that among the cities that were attacked, there was no wizard casualty in one of them?" The poodle drew out the ending sound very long, giving people a feeling of unfinished meaning.
"Isn't it Damingfang!" The sharp voice was still full of ridicule: "A few days ago, the Management Committee of Damingfang was awarded a collective honor by the Wizards' Council - that's what it was about."
"Shameless!" Someone nearby immediately scolded: "It was the Three-pronged Sword who captured the wild monster. It is said that the people in the management committee have not shown up from the beginning to the end. How can they have the nerve to accept this honor!"
"The Three-Chased Sword only took away the wild monsters. The one who suppressed the wild monsters of Damingfang is said to be a freshman from First University this year." Someone added: "My neighbor's child sits in the office of the Three-Chased Sword and said that the freshman is from Jiuyou College.
Students at public expense.”
"I heard about it too. It seems that the public-funded student cast a thunder spell! His spell directly destroyed half the street!"
"There are also talismans. I heard that the freshman also used a very powerful suppression talisman. The wild monster in Damingfang was immediately knocked unconscious!"
"Students born at public expense are great!" People around were exclaiming.
Zheng Qing lowered his head and coughed violently.
