Because he had the experience of studying Waldwo, Lin quickly came up with plans and requirements and handed them over to the elves. After all, we are on other people's land, and Lin Ke clearly explains what to do. This is to avoid misunderstandings and is also the key to making things easier for yourself.

Furthermore, most of the equipment used to study the World Tree was left behind in the tribe of wood elves. Waldwal personally taught the wood elves and made some routine records and continuous observation and research. In other words, except for the head coffin, everything else must be made and provided by the elves.

This is similar to the time on Earth. Even if you don't really teach your knowledge to the donor, you still have to put some effort into convincing the other person to make the donor willingly spend money to fund your research.

In the Lost Land, it is not difficult for someone to make money, but the difficulty is to replace it with useful magic materials and then make the necessary equipment. In a world where barter is prevalent and where rare materials are scarce, this is not something that can be done just by having money. As the saying goes, one thing has two masters, so the blame for such troubles will be directly passed on to the elves, causing them a headache.

Of course, the elves are not just doing nothing, just sitting around and watching others do what they do. There are still a group of people working around Lin doing odd jobs and doing some simple calculations. And their most original purpose is actually to learn someone's knowledge related to the World Tree.

At first, Lin planned to teach them seriously. But the physics and mathematics knowledge related to the World Tree, even the simplest introductory part, is like a bible to the elves. So Kaya was sent out again to teach these illiterate elementary school students mathematics.

To be honest, seeing such a group of elves can make someone feel a little more mentally balanced. Perhaps Jermaine's performance was not as exaggerated as Finn's, who could empty someone's belly of everything in just a few days.

The performance of Jermaine, a silver-bearded dwarf, was not much worse. Lin had no more knowledge that he could continue to teach him about the part he was interested in. The rest is, at most, providing some research directions or general directions for solving problems.

The behavior of the illiterate elves looked more like ordinary students on Earth. Maybe they are easier to learn and work harder, but at least they don't learn as fast as those two perverts.

This actually confirms what someone has long suspected. The excellence shown by the elves is actually the result of their accumulation over a longer period of time. It is not that they are really talented and are higher than humans from the beginning. . At best, they just live longer.

However, judging from the efficiency of doing things, it can only be said that he is truly an elf. Although he handles things in an orderly manner, he handles everything in a gentle manner. The elves deal with things slowly and slowly. When the preparatory work is not completely in place, someone can only do it slowly.

Of course, the most urgent thing here is Lahti, the world tree. The kitten lying on someone's head, no matter who it sees, meows in a cursing tone and dances its two short legs. It's a pity that not many elves can see Him or hear Him, and someone doesn't want to be a mouthpiece to scold a group of people who have nothing to do with him.

Another person who showed eagerness was the king of the elves, Ridan III. His pressure, of course, comes from the Sanhua kitten that appears in front of him from time to time. As a legitimate World Tree mouthpiece, it is his duty to convey His Majesty's will. But as a result of the young king's appearance, someone sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Logically speaking, the king is the supreme leader of a country. The leaders gave the orders directly, but the people below were still eager to complete the tasks. But the elves still maintained their usual meekness, which was a bit abnormal. Of course, the guards brought by the young king did not have the kind of attitude that would make others anxious to death. The real problem lay with the Shenmu guards directly under Lahti.

In fact, not only was he uncooperative in promoting the promotion of World Tree, but as a member of the Shenmu Guards, one of the local masters, he was always picky and looking for trouble.

Even if there is no place to receive guests, there are various regulations on where to camp and where to use the toilet. There are also various restrictions on cooking, and there are even restrictions on the use of open fires. Fires can only be used at specific times. This allows most elves with tasks to eat dry food after missing meals.

Generally speaking, Lin's attitude as a guest is to do as he pleases. If the host has any taboos, of course there is no need to violate those taboos in order to live. Naturally, he should try his best to comply with them. But after these days, someone only has one feeling. This is not a problem of the other party having too many rules, but of deliberately looking for trouble.

The people who received this kind of treatment were not just a few humans and silver-bearded dwarves who came from nowhere. Including the young king, the accompanying ministers, and all the elven guards and elven warriors who protected the ministers, all suffered the same treatment.

Perhaps the king thought it was because he was too young, so faced with such treatment, he chose to swallow his anger. Most ordinary elves are also attracted by the reputation of the Shenmu Guards in their hearts, so they also choose to accept the situation. But not all elves are soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others.

The group of people who were most dissatisfied with the attitude of the Shenmu Guards were of course the ministers who came with the king. In terms of age and seniority, many people in the Guards are considered their juniors. How could they allow a group of juniors to show off in front of them? It is true that they are all the best among the elves, but when it is time to scold them, these old elves will not be polite.

Another group of people who were dissatisfied were a group of elves headed by Liena Titov. Their common feature is that they have traveled to the lost world, and they have not stayed in the closed environment of the elves and blindly followed all traditions from ancient times to the present. In particular, many of them had the opportunity to join the Shenmu Guards, but did not join due to various reasons.

However, no matter how dissatisfied they are, the elves on the whole still know how to control themselves and will not conflict over trivial matters. In any case, the person who can protect the king here will not be a reckless man who ignores the opinions of the young king and goes to fight with others. What's more, the opponent is not the enemy, or the group of humans surrounding the kingdom, but the elite of his own country.

Such tolerance is a dangerous sign in someone's eyes. Not only did Lin feel that the atmosphere under the shade of the World Tree was very strange; even to some elves, it was like a pressure cooker that kept accumulating pressure, and it would not be a surprise when it would explode. The looming opposition within the elves has honestly made someone want to go home.

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Because he had been unable to officially start observation and research, and could only continue to make meaningless preparations, Lin took advantage of this gap to secretly observe the members of the Shenmu Guards in Lahti and record their every move.

A few days later, he found an opportunity, lifted up the marching tent, and slipped into a certain couple's boudoir. Of course, the time was right and nothing embarrassing happened.

As soon as they saw someone's appearance, a lich, an elf, and someone's two apprentices who were secretly turning on a small stove all opened their eyes wide, with half-sucked noodles hanging from their mouths, looking like they were being sucked. It looks like grabbing a bag. This group of people who originally only ate bread have been trained by someone to be able to cook several dishes from the earth. Not to mention eating, as a direct descendant from the great foodie empire, conquering the stomachs of these people is no longer a problem.

The two girls continued to suck the noodles into their mouths heartlessly, but the beautiful Elf Sword Dancer, with her pointed ears red, buried her face in the bowl and continued to eat. I thought that if I didn’t see anyone, my conscience would be fine. Only Fen was calm enough, bit off the noodles, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed, then asked:

"Why do you want to show up suddenly to scare people? Or are you finally brave enough to come and sleep with us at night?"

I don’t know how many times he was invited, but someone still shook his head like a wavy drum, even though the Elf Sword Dancer graciously agreed and looked eager to give it a try. It's important for people to be self-aware. Someone knows very well that he can't even deal with a lich, and he still wants to fight two. Is it because my life is too long or my health is too good? So Lin quickly changed the topic back to his own goal and said:

"I have something to ask Liena."

"You want to ask me?" The female elf who was named raised her head. Regardless of the green onion on the corner of her mouth, she asked: "What do you want to ask me? I won't tell you anything that is too confidential. With Fen, we have a tacit understanding and don't ask too many questions." Things you should ask. I have the same attitude towards you."

"Hmm~." After pondering for a while, Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Answer it as best you can. The first question is, how many people are there in your Shenmu Guards?" After saying that, he opened the standard water mirror. The screen displays densely packed pictures of faces. They all have pointed ears and wear hoods, but they do not deliberately hide their faces and features.

Looking at the screen, Liena said: "They are all. Why do you ask this?"

"Because in the past few days, I have confirmed the members of the Shenmu Guards. Excluding the suspected duplicates, there are only seventy-three in total. Is this your Shenmu Guards, all the members? This is very important. Please think about it. Please answer clearly."

Although she was puzzled, looking at someone's serious look, Liena replied seriously: "No, as far as I know, there are a total of two hundred and thirteen people in the Shenmu Guards. Among them are three Druid elders, There are two other extraordinary beings. One of them you have seen is Ronan Pietersson."
