Chapter 117: The Concentration of the Longevity Race
"I think he was probably lamenting the passage of time and the regret that life cannot be returned." Freya said subconsciously: "But, creatures like you with long life are difficult to connect the fleeting fireworks with your long life, so he is stuck. In this case, why not try to think from a different perspective? Think about the bugs in the forest. Many bugs only have one year's lifespan, and some bugs are dormant underground for a few years, just to get out and see the world. Why not think from their perspective to express their awe of time?"
"Yes, I remember I read a novel, um... who wrote it? I forgot, it was from a long time ago anyway." Lina also nodded and said, "The book imagined a strange creature. It is said that in the morning, life will only last one day, die at night, and melt in the water again. Such creatures are really fleeting like fireworks, if..."
"That's it, that's it." The girls' conversation was very small, but the dirty and dull elves heard the conversation between them, and suddenly looked up. They ignored the girls who inspired him. Instead, they jumped up on the spot, waved their hands excitedly, raised their heads and laughed in the common language: "I figured it out, I figured it out, that's what it should be, hahaha, it's so stupid, why didn't I think about thinking like this? Hahaha, it's so good, it's so good."
The girls looked dull and looked at the strange elf in front of them in surprise and shouted as if crazy, running away. They didn't know what expression to do. After a while, Catherine smiled and said, "You elves are indeed very unique. Well, it was unexpected."
"Ha, sometimes we do focus on doing one thing." Flar did not feel offended, but just chuckled and said, "It is difficult for you humans to focus so much. That's because your time is short and there are too many things to be completed in this short century. There are too many hopes to be realized in this century, so you must allocate your energy to several different things at the same time. But we elves are different. We have plenty of time to do what we want to do. When we do everything, we can devote ourselves to it without considering other issues. Even if we have other hopes and needs, we can wait until the things in front of us are completed before starting to do it. So, we are more focused than you. What you saw just now is not an exception. If you don't believe it, look to the right and see the person holding the wood on the right?"
Looking in the direction Flar pointed, a female elf who looked no longer young was sitting high on a shaking vine between the roots of the air, holding a flat wood in her arms, swinging around in the air like a swing. However, her attention was not on the vine swing at all, but her eyes were staring at the wood in her arms, and her fingers kept flirting around the wood, fiddling for a few times. She would stop and think for a while.
"She is a master of musical instruments, and she has been a master of musical instruments since a thousand years ago. When you, the Capital of Knowledge, you were invited to perform on stage for the first time. Although I was young and didn't visit, I heard that she changed 57 instruments in the stage and integrated them into a fifteen-minute piece of music. At that time, it caused a large-scale sensation in the Capital of Knowledge." Flar looked at the elves on the vines on the high altitude with a gentle look, and said softly: "She is proficient in all the instruments of all races in the Yara world, including the snails of the sea and the mangrove drums in the swamps. Even the spiral zither that had long been lost in the Goblin era was restored by her. But even so, she still thought that there was one of the biggest regrets that had not been resolved, so for ten years she would sit in that position every day and focus on her own world."
"Humans can also be very focused." Vivian disagreed with Flar's statement and retorted: "We mages will always focus on the research of one problem, and there is no difference between you and your performance."
"It's different. Your focus is at most on one subject, not on one problem." Flar shook his head and said, "Indeed, your mages can focus on the research of a certain subject. For example, magic array science, but your time length determines that you must disperse your energy to different knowledge points in this subject, otherwise you will need generations to relay to get the final result. However, we are different. Our mages can use all their energy to study the four-level shocks of the core of the magic array to fully understand it thoroughly.
After all, look back and study the radioactive divergence of magic stripes. Perhaps in the short term, our progress will be slower than you, but in the long term, our understanding of every problem is more thorough than you. Just like this music master, whenever she learns one instrument, she throws other instruments aside and completely forgets them, and only the instruments she learned at that time. As for now, she should have thrown everything she has learned in the corner of consciousness, just for her current purpose."
"What the hell is she doing?" Lina asked curiously: "It looks like she is playing the piano, but there are no strings on the wood."
"She learned all the instruments in the Yara world. The biggest regret now is that there is no one that belongs to her." Flar explained: "She believes that what she learned is actually something from others. She hopes to create an instrument of her own and make her name integrate with this instrument."
"So she is innovating musical instruments." Maybe other girls don't understand, but Katherine and Freya, who have received a complete systematic education, understand how difficult it is to create a new musical instrument. Any instrument is accumulated over a long period of time in the folk, and is improved and adjusted little by little by little by countless musicians. It is almost impossible for humans to create a new musical instrument out of thin air by relying entirely on their own strength, and only the elves with a long lifespan may be able to achieve it. For such a person with firm ideals, Katherine always has an admiration in her heart, and now is no exception. Although she knew that the other party would not pay attention to this side, the Knight Girl still paid tribute to her with a knight ceremony, and then asked: "Is there any progress now? What is the creation?"
"A kind of eleven-stringed harp, played in her arms," said Flar, "In fact, the instrument has been made, but there are only instruments and no corresponding playing skills, so the existence of the instrument has no meaning, so she is now studying the playing of this instrument...well?"
