Chapter 974 974 Morning light, the place where the wind rises
"Swish, swish."
The rhythmic rhythm of paper and pen came to an abrupt end.
After recovering from her selfless concentration, Herola reached out to the teacup at the corner of the table, only to find it empty.
Pushing open the curtains, the afternoon sunlight pouring down eagerly warmed her whole body. The chirping of birds in the distance dispersed the silence in the room, and it was as if time that had stopped had resumed its flow.
The wind blew, blowing over Herola's still confused face, and she was playfully playing around in the room. The manuscripts placed in every corner of the room echoed the sound, and the brisk sound of turning pages came and went, gathering into a soothing melody, which made Herola unable to help herself.
He stretched his hands above his head and stretched hard.
"Squeak~~"
Little Niba pushed open the door and entered. The sweet smell of butter and baked pastries floated into the room, making Herola's nose twitch.
"Shouldn't it be the slime that sent it?"
"It's just on my way."
Herola smiled and brushed away the fallen hair from the edge of the dining car, teasing: "You have such a tail."
Little Niba, who has long since grown up, is very popular in Chenxi. She has an unusually big plush tail, which is fluffy and soft. The children of Chenxi cannot resist the temptation. Lu Lu and Cellululu liked to follow her when they were young.
Wandering around behind her.
Little Niba doesn't mind shedding hair. Her tail is a great pride of hers, although daily maintenance is a bit time-consuming.
"Wow, have you written so much already?"
The wind chimes are tinkling, and the afternoon wind is intoxicating.
Herola was sitting comfortably under the umbrella on the balcony, tasting milk tea. When she heard this, she turned around.
Little Niba carefully put the food far away, and specially washed his oily hands with water elements before he dared to pick up the manuscript on the table and browse it.
The manuscript written by Herola is called "The Wind of Morning", which describes in detail the major events that have happened since the establishment of Dawn, and also records what she saw along the way after setting off from Dawn Sky Island.
After receiving Sera's suggestion, the three writers Herola, Dusk, and Dusk have begun to consider splitting the content into two parts.
"There will be more to come, our journey is only a year old."
"We have indeed seen a lot of people and things in one year, but in the past four months we have not seen a single intelligent creature." Little Niba put his hands on the balcony, looked at the play in the distance, and sighed, "It's so quiet."
It was very quiet. After bidding farewell to the Boggart family, Dawn Sky Island entered the sea area called the "Silent Sea" by Duderan maritime merchants.
According to the rumors of generations of people in Durderan, this is a sea of despair that can never be sailed out. No matter how long the rations they carry or how tenacious their will is, all the ships that enter it will quietly disappear into the endless waves.
middle.
The three months of dawn entering the Silent Sea all confirmed these rumors. The land we saw along the way was only a handful, and without exception there were few living creatures.
The Kraken dived into the deep sea and found that the sea people here were still in an ignorant and unawakened stage.
Any living being who travels there will have a strong illusion that he has been abandoned by the world.
To others it was torture, but to Chenxi it was nothing but boredom. The Chenxi people who traveled "home" saw that they could only see the sea and sky, so they dispersed without interest.
Loneliness? Doesn’t exist.
"Jeffrey must be very busy, right?" Thinking of those seabirds, Herola chuckled.
"Three months of exercise. Although those seabirds still can't control their mouths, they are overall much stronger."
At this time, everyone would always think of the conservation of luck that Jeffrey talked about. Purple Star put forward a hypothesis, maybe the conservation existed in Jeffrey, but it was just the seabirds who bore everything for him.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
Huo Du, who fluttered her little wings and floated into the room, saw the snacks on the dining car at a glance. As soon as she put down the scroll she brought, she held the tea cup and came to Herola's side to enjoy it.
"What is this?" Little Niba asked.
"Census report." Wuxing, who was enjoying the cream with her tongue like a dragonfly, said casually, "There are also some miscellaneous statistics, the results have just come out."
In the 14th year of the Chenxi calendar, the population of Chenxi exceeded the 3,000 mark for the first time.
Dawn Terran: 529 people
Dawn Kraken: 431 people
Elves (general category): 756 people
Star Mushroom People: 257 people
Mixed race and demi-humans: 1,205 people
Slime: 50 people
Others:27
There are many interesting things about this data. The first is the population of the Dawn Human Race.
The outside world has always had a strange misunderstanding about Dawn, that is, half of the Lords of Dawn are humans, and Sera has always had a higher sense of identification with humans than the Rabbit Ears, so Dawn should be a place where humans account for a larger proportion.
.
But from the beginning to the end, Chenxi has always been dominated by mixed-race subpopulations. Since they have the same belief as the Lord of Dawn, the mixed ethnic composition will not bring friction and contradiction. On the contrary, since its establishment, harmony and harmony have been
The normal state of morning light.
Zixing, who became the Sheriff after his transformation, once complained that in Dawn, the combat team and the Sheriff were the final destinations of the big guys who only had force, and being bored was the normal state of the Combat Team and the Sheriff.
The population of the Dawn Siren has increased by about 100 people compared to the period of the Dark Green Siren. Because statistics determine whether they should be classified as hybrids or Dawn Siren based on the proportion of mixed blood, the medical team was very busy for a time.
Forest elves make up the majority of the elves' population. They were basically purchased by Dawn as slaves, and eventually became forest rangers and members of the Ministry of Agriculture on the vast land of Dawn, while dark elves like Herola became vigilantes.
people.
To paraphrase Olga's words, the forest elves have never owned the forest so completely. The 638 forest elves arranged to face the forests covered with morning light, just like sprinkling a handful of rice into Huogu's mouth.
The Star Mushrooms are capable of rapid reproduction, but they focus on mushroom cultivation and their growth rate is slow.
Although they live in seclusion in the wetland, the people of Dawn love the mushroom people very much - they single-handedly make all kinds of delicious mushrooms available on the tables of all people in Dawn.
It's just that the mushroom people were obviously influenced by Lu Yu and Lulu's less than ideal naming skills, so they named the large edible mushrooms that amazed every household in Chenxi, "Chenxi Delicious Mushrooms". It was so simple and crude that it made people feel trance-like.
.
If there is any place in this world that slimes can call a holy land, Dawn is definitely the place.
Fifty slimes who are intelligent and can talk fluently, to the outside world, each of them would be a rare sight of the Slime King. But in the morning light, this is a small thing that cannot surprise anyone. After all, it was a small thing that could not surprise anyone.
When slime juice appeared in the world, they imagined the limitless future of these little guys.
The last item of "others" is that each of them is a unique individual that is rare in the morning sun.
For example, Huo Gu, the only dragon in the morning sun.
Fagutar changed his spirit body and became a half-dragon, but he could become a dragon again at the right time.
The main body is a magical life form, the Mist Demon, which is a mass of mist.
The ancient snail sleeping deep in the palace of the Dawn Sea and the little coral, the lord of jellyfish.
The total population is 3255. Seeing this number, Mu Mu, who was there in the early days of Chenxi's establishment, was full of emotions.
"At that time, there were only over 200 people in the Dawn Territory. The team given by Pope Laurent now has more than 3,000 people."
"You said..." Little Niba couldn't help complaining, "Twenty years have passed, and the Dawn Territory is still empty. Although every area has been developed and the infrastructure has been continuously repaired, it is still very empty."
"Those empty spaces are reserved for 'sooner or later'. Lady Sigrid's planning and deployment are excellent. Are you interested in learning more?"
Little Niba quickly shrank her head. She was the one who sweated profusely when she saw the numbers. Previously, she had mistakenly believed that the amount of 1 ton of grain in the new unit was not large, so she was led into the warehouse by the logistics team to intuitively experience 1 ton.
The weight of food.
"The total amount of potatoes stored in all Chenxi warehouses is now about 520 tons. If every Chenxi person eats one pound of potatoes today, then the daily consumption will be about this much."
When it comes to grain storage, the Chenxi Agricultural Team has always used "next year we will encounter a once-in-a-century natural disaster" as the standard. Therefore, the key point of grain storage is "fuck it!"
Civil engineering can fill up as many granaries as they build. Anyway, the excess grain can be supplied to the livestock team. Otherwise, it can be simply and crudely used to fertilize the land. In short, it should give the people of Chenxi a choice and not finish it.
So in the miscellaneous data, Xiao Niba saw some jaw-dropping and unbelievable big numbers, which silently told the greatness of the farming team headed by Olga and Judith.
After another cup of milk tea, Herola, who was warmed by the sun, was curious: "Wu Du, back then, did you ever think that the morning light would turn out like this?"
"It depends on when it is." Huo Du rinsed a biscuit in the milk tea and put it into his mouth, "Of course it was completely unexpected when I first met Sigrid. After all, as long as the buyer does not abuse her,
My brother and I were pretty good, and there was no concept of morning sun at that time."
"It was also unexpected when I was working at the Qidian Welfare Institute. Every day was very busy and fulfilling, and I had no time to think about the future. Moreover, there were no whips, saliva, or random harassment. This kind of life was happier than before. Who dares to expect more?
There are so many.”
When Qidian Welfare Home closed, Mu Mu had already arrived at Chenxi Ling, which was built from scratch. She was still somewhat attached to the Welfare Home, and the great satisfaction of rescuing others once made her very motivated. But later, this kind of unrequited dedication became more and more difficult for her.
After encountering several small changes in succession, her heart was inevitably filled with frost.
Because of this, Bo Mu admires Anna and Isko very much. They are always enthusiastic and have the simplest kindness in their hearts. Even if they are exposed to wind and rain, they are still willing to believe in the goodness of people's hearts.
At Anna's wedding to Isco, she and her colleagues who worked in the orphanage specially made some handmade gadgets related to the orphanage to thank them for taking care of everyone.
It was their kindness that allowed the orphanage to persist for several years despite the ups and downs, and allowed the never-ending caregivers to eventually board the ship of dawn.
Soon after setting off, the morning light passed by Collet, where they learned that the people of Beaune still missed the orphanage.
At that time, we yelled and killed it, but after losing it, we regretted it. Why bother?
"Then, after dawn, have you thought about it?"
"The moment Lu Yu and Sir Sera took me and Huang Huang as their students, I was willing to give everything for Chen Xi." Huo Mu smiled, "So, I did think about it, but...
…No matter how good your imagination is, you can’t guess this moment.”
Based on the existing magic power, they have reached the peak, and they are also considering expanding high-level magic, preparing for the next magic wave, and meeting the [Millennium Discussion] and other more ambitious things.
Just as Lu Yu, Sera, and Lulu said when they established it, he successfully gave the people of Chenxi a home that was not disturbed by wind and rain, and he did far better than promised.
"By the way, have you signed up?"
"You mean the puppet backup plan?" Herola replied immediately, "Of course, I will follow the teacher until I decay."
"Me too." Bo Mu smiled, "After all, the teacher will feel at ease only if we are still around."
After the stability of the spirit body change led by Sera gradually improved, self-backup became an option officially before everyone.
Although nourished by the closed magic power of Dawn, their lifespans have been extended and they are still young today. However, in order to prevent some sudden accidents and the few terminal diseases that the medical team is still helpless to find them, custom-made dolls have become a plan in advance.
a part of.
It is no secret that the four lords of Dawn are nostalgic for the past, and this is also their advance plan for the future when they are about to challenge decay.
Herola ordered an exact replica of herself.
This is not the case for Dusk. She and Dusk are not interested in continuing to be vampires, so they decide to also have smooth dragon horns, so they need "the original appearance, a half-dragon body."
Little Niba chose the Demon Fox, and it is the most special multi-tailed individual among the Demon Foxes.
"It's enough for you to maintain one tail, and you plan to get more tails?" Huo Mu sighed, "I hope you won't regret asking Sir Sera to exchange them for you."
"Hey, I won't regret it. Sister Xialem is petting my tail so cutely that I can't wait to hold it to sleep. There will be so many of them at once, she will definitely go crazy with joy."
Suddenly, the three chattering people stopped in unison.
"Is Jeffrey's seabird... calling?"
…
…
The sun was scorching, and in the experimental field of the Forest Elf settlement, Judith followed her voice and walked into the distance.
Warren and Waller each carried a food box and raised it to her from a distance.
This habit was forced to develop. Ever since Judith and Olga accidentally trampled an experimental seedling, making Judith and Olga so depressed that they had no appetite for food, they entered the area where the experimental field was located and insisted on standing only in the main
On the road.
The four Yas adventurers back then are now the leaders of the animal husbandry and farming groups, and are in charge of the jobs of the Dawn people. However, they are all people who lick blood from the knife edge for a full meal. The wonderful fate is indescribable.
This is clearly reflected in them.
"It's only what time, you guys are starting to have dinner." Judith couldn't help laughing when she saw the exquisite dishes after opening the food box.
"Afternoon tea, afternoon tea."
“Afternoon tea includes crystal elbow and braised beef, tsk tsk.”
"Then will you eat or not?"
"Of course."
A small table was set up in the shade, and Olga, who happened to have nothing to do today, was called over, and the foursome resumed their tradition of getting together for more than ten years.
There is no fixed theme or reason for a party. Sometimes it's just that someone has a sudden idea and wants to have a meal together, so everyone shows up together as a matter of course.
Today was no exception. Waller was carrying slime while traveling today and saw the elastic hooves of a free-range wild boar. He suddenly had a strong desire to eat elbows, so the wild boar was checked off the "life and death book" by the livestock team.
", sent to the canteen, and became an attractively colored delicacy on the dinner plate.
"Huh?" After just one sip, Judith and Olga picked up the cups and observed the liquid in the cups. "It seems to be different from the fruit wine we usually drink."
Wallen and Waller looked at each other and smiled.
"Did you do it?"
"Cider Slime is about to make its grand debut."
Olga's eyes widened: "Cider Slime...can it spit out cider?"
Warren laughed boldly. As a former swordsman, he never spoke in a garbled way. Waller was still trying to whet his appetite, so Warren blurted out.
"Exactly, they are very special, so they are also very picky about food. They need to be fed specific food to maintain this form. Moreover, they are very rare in number. There are only six of them at the moment."
Waller said the surprise first, and Waller shrugged helplessly: "This is our little attempt, do you like it?"
"The taste is a little sweeter. It seems that the fruits those slimes eat must be very sweet."
"It seems you like it very much, that's good." Waller was relieved.
"How many are you planning to get?"
"Just a dozen or so to satisfy your own hobby." Waller said, "I hope the lord will also try it, but it seems that only Sigrid likes drinking, and everyone else prefers soda... ugh
, it would be great if I could make soda slime, then the lord would be very happy."
After clinking a glass, Olga couldn't help but bump Valen's arm with her elbow.
"You kid, you're going to get married soon, right?"
Although the environment of the morning light has slowed down the erosion of time on everyone, Valen is technically a forty-six-year-old single "youth". From the moment he was born, one of the few people of the opposite sex he has had a crush on is Orr.
Jia, when the other party said this, his face immediately turned red.
"No... no, just, casually, just chat."
"Who said it was just a casual chat? I clearly saw it. Lan Qiang strung all the demonic scales that she shed and controlled the spirit of speech into a chain and gave it to you." Valen destroyed his baggage just now, and now Wo
If you have any "vengeance", take revenge.
"Wow~~~~"
The bad friends all praised in unison, with strange smiles on their faces, which made Warren completely red. Under Judith's coaxing, Warren took out the sea monster scale from the box he carried with him.
A siren with the talent of speech and spirit is willing to give away the precious and precious magic scales as a gift. It is really a green and astringent expression of love... For a while, the sounds of tut-tutting could not be heard.
Tears suddenly appeared in the corners of Warren's eyes after three rounds of drinking amid the teasing of his friends and the joy of love.
The sudden change made the other three people who were about to continue chatting confused. They asked what happened, but they also wondered what kind of troubles there could be in the morning light that made Warren so aggrieved.
"No, it's nothing... It's just that I dreamed about my sister not long ago... If she is still alive, she can be brought back by Master Lu Yu like us. It would be great if she could see me now..."
All three of them could understand Varun's sudden loss of control. They had already lost all their loved ones and dreamed back in the middle of the night. Why wouldn't they want their loved ones to still be around and share their current achievements with them.
Fortunately, these painful partings will be resisted by the lords of Chenxi first, and the pain that happened to them will not happen again to the people of Chenxi.
"Did I hear the seabirds calling?"
"Jeffrey's group of seabirds? Just beg for food when you're hungry."
"They don't scream when they are hungry, they just eat and drink quietly. Could it be that..."
…
…
Dawn deep sea area.
It is said to be a deep sea area, but it is actually located on the ground. It is made of seawater that is bound by magic and appears as a cube. In the seawater, the bosses of the civil engineering team have built various buildings that conform to the aesthetics of the sea people. In order to
In order to meet the possible population explosion of the Sea Clan in the next few hundred years (which is doubtful), Sigrid also gave a lot of redundancy in the planning, striving to make the living space of the Sea Clan spacious and comfortable.
However, after the construction was completed, the people of Dawn discovered that the corals and their jellyfish babies lived in the deep sea area, while most of the sea monsters were barefoot and happy on the land. Unless there were special events, the civil engineering team carefully
They were too lazy to set foot in the underwater palace they built, allowing the jellyfish babies to play in it as an amusement park.
Near the deep sea area, the land paradise built by the sea monsters is filled with laughter and laughter. After taking the magic potion and adapting to the tailless sea monsters, after more than ten years, the sea monsters have fallen in love with the life of terrestrial species. Only a few
Only those suffering from xeroderma will take a dip in the deep sea from time to time.
Therefore, every summer, people in Chenxi take magic potions and dive into the deep sea to enjoy the rare coolness.
Every time they see this moment, everyone in the civil engineering team will think of what the Lord has said.
"People in the city want to go out, and people from outside want to come in."
Vera has just finished another wave of coaching courses for Siren Lan Ke. Although she has no experience in love and is a blank slate, under her guidance, Lan Ke miraculously captured Valen's heart.
The two quickly entered the stage of showing off their affection, and the next step was to talk about marriage.
"Huh, how about it? The effect is remarkable."
After Lan Qian left with a happy face, Vera glanced complacently at Eunice who was not far away.
Eunice, who was an enemy of the Dark Green Siren in her early years, also reconciled with the Siren who became the Dawn Clan because she registered with Dawn and would not leave again.
"I don't need your help in the first place. Love comes naturally and sweetly. With or without your guidance, the result will be good." Eunice took the dried fish from the coral tentacles and chewed it.
"Don't I have one percent of the credit?"
Arguing is a daily routine for two people. Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, as long as the other party raises the argument first, this is a conditioned reflex.
Therefore, the coral, which has already learned human emotions, will stop in the middle at the right time and wrap its tentacles around the two of them: "Don't worry, don't worry, eat some, and eat some more, the dried fish is delicious."
As if it was an obvious signal, as soon as Coral showed up, the two of them sat down as if they had forgotten what happened just now and were fine.
"Sigrid just sent me the Dawn Census report. She hopes that we will also make statistics on farmed aquatic products so that the logistics team can enter the data. Also..." Vera brushed her long green shawl hair.
, "Coral, it's time to report the number of jellyfish you have."
"Hey, do I want it too?"
"Need I remind you that regardless of intelligence, jellyfish are the largest family in the Dawn?"
If it weren't for the fact that jellyfish that have not awakened their wisdom have a very short lifespan, Lu Lu would sooner or later create a new card for Chenxi's players, and call it [Proliferating Jellyfish].
Coral began to make a "gurgling" sound, feeling a little embarrassed about not knowing the number of clan members.
As the leader of the clan, she is quite playful, thinking that few of her companions have awakened yet, so she simply wanders around all day long.
Chenxi Stadium discussed some strange issues because of her, such as...
How many tentacles are more acceptable for jellyfish to use to guard the gate?
Do jellyfish have a handball?
In the case of banning magic, jellyfish can float, and the physical contact between the two parties becomes larger when blocking shots. Should the penalty scale be adjusted?
Is it a violation of the volleyball rules to intercept a jellyfish with its arms fully extended and floating in front of the net in advance?
After a lot of fiddling around, Coral suddenly discovered that playing cards is actually a very good hobby with friendly rules and as long as you have the skills.
When she was about to say something else, the sound of [Wings of Dawn] clearing her throat sounded through the central tower, and the three of them quickly quieted down and listened.
…
…
The splashed water refracted into a rainbow in the air. Charem smiled and tended the flower bed that had grown into a sea of flowers. This was the result of her decades of continuous work. It was not just the flowers that bloomed, but also a corner of her life.
Having experienced the storms and waves of adventurers, and having tasted the turbulent waves and clouds of the mainland, and having lost the like-minded person who should be called a "beloved", Xialem's life returned to peace.
No wind or rain, quiet and peaceful.
For some reason, after rarely using magic power, her sleepiness was greatly improved. It had been a long time since she fell asleep while walking, and the time she could be active in a day increased significantly.
Fagutar said that her talent was also an innate curse. She gained strength in exchange for a defective body. No one taught her how to use her talent sparingly since she was a child. The consequence of wanton abuse is lethargy.
The stability of Chenxi has made her power useless. Maybe one day in the future, there will be a crisis and she needs to step forward to protect her. She has been given a stable Chenxi, but... I always feel that that is also a very, very distant future.
"Sister Xialem, have you also filled out the application?"
Han Lu, who often visited the sea of flowers, was surprised to see the form placed on the stone table of the pavilion in the center of the sea of flowers.
As both talented people, Hanlu has the unique talent of [Light Devourer], which can transform the light magic released by others into his own power to further strengthen himself. Therefore, he and Xia Leim have many topics to talk about and often come to play.
Xialem wiped her sweat, called for the slime, poured two glasses of juice, and used her word spirit to grab a few ice cubes and put them in.
"I also hope to do more for Chenxi. This is my home."
"Won't you give up your talent?"
The spirit body changes body, and the innate talent is likely to disappear. However, Xia Lemu combines the voice spirit of the sea monster and the magic storage capacity of the dragon level into one body. This is not only unique in ten thousand, but also for millions of people.
It's hard to find one.
Xialem smiled calmly and shook her head: "Even without these two talents, genius is only the threshold to meet me."
"and……"
She looked into the distance: "I also hope to experience a normal life, a more normal life than now."
"Cough cough, cough cough~~~"
Han Lu was startled by the sudden message from the statue.
"Wings of Dawn, why is it so sudden?"
"[Wings of Dawn] Announcement, a new continent has been discovered."
"Repeat, a new continent has been discovered."
"Every morning group, please be prepared."
Members of each group who were still chatting, playing, and resting gathered at the edge of the island. At the horizon at the end of the field of vision, the outline of the mainland vaguely emerged.
Jeffrey praised the seabirds proudly and acquiesced in their indulgence in finding French fries.
"Lu Yu, oh, Master Lulu, you are here too."
Lulu couldn't wait to show everyone Xiaolan lying in her hands. Xiaolan was equally eager and kept pointing into the distance, extremely excited.
"I feel it, I feel it!"
Although the information was incomplete, Chenxi people became excited when thinking of Xiaolan's long-standing expectations.
They searched hard, but there was no trace of the goblin, hiding in the depths of the silent sea that perhaps no one has ever reached. ()
