The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Three months ago, most of the members of the Sky Rose Army were unemployed citizens, land-lost farmers, and even refugees who had just fled to the Federation, etc., could such a crowd of people be transformed into a quarterly training A group that can fight, can be on the battlefield and the orcs are embarrassed ... Optimistic Lu Xi said nothing, Realistic Sahiriu and his friends said nothing, pessimism plus escape, pay attention and even surrender The rest of the senior officers of Doctrine said nothing more. After reading everything at zero, we still have to test it on the battlefield of real swords and guns.

However, no matter what is said, who can make it clear in the future? At least, at this moment, Lu Xi and his friends, the rich and idle officers who do not need to be on duty in the legion, and the top 100 soldiers who won in the previous competitive games should be really prepared. Enjoy this legendary, only one dwarf beer festival in ten years, in fact, it is also the grandest carnival in the entire northern continent.

Furnace is located in a naturally formed basin between the Holy Mountains of Hyjal and the Barge Plateau. On its side is the so-called steam lake-of course, that is actually the name of the dwarves, they seem to be named There has never been a very good talent. In fact, this is also the freshwater lake with the highest elevation in the whole world. It is recognized as "the pearl on the plateau" or "the sea on the mountain". It is well-known all over the world, so each ethnic group also has its own Is called.

However, it turns out that what the people most accept is not the pretense of the literati sao, but the name that is intuitive and clear. So, now, on the map of the known world published by Niosfia, the dwarf name is used in the imperial land, and the name of "Steam Lake" is marked on it.

The source of "steam" comes from the water mist that rises all year round on the sea. The diffused water vapor, the fire furnace, and the fireworks generated by the gathering of all the dwarves on the surrounding plateaus and mountains combine to form a steam-like mist that covers almost the entire lake. Of course, since most of them are caused by water mist from the lake, although some of them also have an industrial waste component, in general, the smell is not unpleasant and does not become a pathogenic pollution. As a result, many wealthy and noble aristocrats, rich men or “literati savage” from all over the country, seem to like to go boating in the lake and travel in the mist like a hazy gauze on a romantic girl. No, the mood is like a grade. It would be even better if a three-meter long tiger head fish could be caught in the lake.

Yes, the surface of the Steam Lake is only one-third as large as the Pearl Lake in Calgary, Auckland, but its water storage capacity is more than ten times that of the latter. Its depth is naturally imaginable. It is understandable that there are big fish in deep water. The highest record so far is a blue-scaled tiger fish with a length of 4 meters and 67 meters that was taken from a lake by an old highlander fisherman 22 years ago. It was later bought by a highlander tribal leader for 5,000 gold baht, and then offered to the Royal Family of Auckland as one of the blessing gifts for Her Royal Highness Princess Katarina.

The two sides of the steam lake are naturally very fascinating, with picturesque green hills and cypresses. The gate of Furnace is between the mountains on the lakeside. It was rolling hills on both sides, with an entrance to the rift valley in the middle. At the entrance, the dwarf's ingenious construction technology built a huge gate like the city of Saixiong here. It is made of huge bluestones, and they are formed into a whole with some mysterious rune power, which is impeccable and indestructible. The gate made of stone, or rather the gate, has formed a part of the mountain. However, through the gate and the mountain behind it, no other artificial buildings can be seen at all, and it is difficult to imagine where the city is hidden.

The gate is facing the steam lake and the road, and the alloy of bright silver powder sprinkled in bronze is cast on the door, forming a very gorgeous and fine relief pattern. This has always been the style of dwarf artwork, rarely giving people a white space for imagination, and it is very realistic. It falls in the eyes of the elves of the Wenqing race. This is a crude aesthetic that lacks the taste of art. However, the carving techniques of the dwarves have always been very elaborate, and the composition is quite sophisticated. Even if it is completely realistic, it is actually quite gorgeous, and it can even be described as magnificent.

The content of the mural on the gate should be the story of the earliest dwarf seven kings here to build the furnace. Thanks to the excellent carving skills of the Dwarves, all the characters and scenery lines above are quite exquisite and lifelike. Standing on the road, even if it is a hundred meters away, you can distinguish the dwarf lords and heroes who are the supporting roles above, and the ancestors of the seven major royal families, the nearly hundred characters of all sizes, the facial features and the personality. Among them, the ancestor of the Muradin family, also known as the "builder" of the first prince of the fortress Jimley? Muradin, is in the center of the picture. Look closely, and really with his descendants , That is, the present shining cave lord Jin Li? Muradin III has a similarity of at least five or six points.

… Well, the power of dwarf genetics is really quite powerful.

In ancient times of mythology, the dwarf legend was a race created by the goddess of the earth, Mara, and the goddess of fire and forging, Lofi. This statement always makes Lu Xi feel wrong ... However, this contemporary era of mythology has become a race of "elves of the earth" and "elves of the mountains" because they are born to be the best construction workers, craftsmen and blacksmiths. It has been welcomed by human society in any historical period. Even if most of them are a group of large barrels with stubborn minds that are harder than steel ingots.

Uh, and still use the axe to cut down three or five human wine barrels.

However, anyway, at least for now, with such a ten-year grand opening festival like a carnival, the dwarves are not so rigid and old-fashioned in everyone's minds, at least it should have evolved from stainless steel ingots to granite Right?

The Oktoberfest event is very rich, first of all is a variety of large-scale competitions organized by the official furnace, and is an event for all tourists and all races.

For example, the Beard Contest ... The dwarves thought that they would never lose to any race in the beauty of their beards. Elves (except hybrids) do not have long beards, orcs' beards are split, only a small number of humans can be considered opponents, but the hair quality is definitely not an opponent of dwarves who particularly like to maintain beards.

Another example is the food competition ... The dwarves think that they may not be as elaborate as elves in cooking, and that humans are diverse, but they always have a rough beauty, which represents the authenticity of food. Even if you really lose half of the trick in the culinary competition, you can definitely get back the competition in the big stomach competition.

Another example is the drinking competition. Although the elves can drink well, they never want to drink too much, and reject the taste of beer and ale, and humans are even more dregs. In short, this is almost a win-win game for the dwarves.

In addition, there is a very cultural and tasteful jewelry and handicraft design competition. On this, the dwarves are more confident, saying that humans are still scum, and golden races such as elves and mermaids can be surveyed. World War I, but because of the importance of history too much, the work has always been too flamboyant ... well, no problem, anyway, this thing is a free testimony, anyway, the judges really said so.

"So all of the games you run are dwarves, aren't they? Take this opportunity to brush a sense of ethnic superiority? Isn't it justified to arrange only track and field during the Olympics?" Lu Xi thinks about this I have something to say: "Although the Olympics in our hometown have been badly played by poorly eaten whites, but in any case, those guys are only doing things on the referee. You are doing things on the competition like this. Does it look particularly shabby? "

"Who said that we got involved in the competition, in addition to the ones you mentioned, there are painting and carving competitions, archery competitions, martial arts competitions, elven chess competitions, oh yes, there are fishing competitions and boating competitions on the Steam Lake What about. "The girl as a guide objected.

"However, these are all made by the people themselves, and you have to pay for renting your venue. The bonus and influence are more than the ones I said, that is, the official competition held by your furnace is 20 streets worse. "Lu Xi shook her finger.

"They can make more money than Furnace. We don't object anyway. By the way, Grandpa said, you guys will be the biggest local tyrants in the world. Just hold such a super-large event. It’s here in the furnace. It’s not my mouthpiece. Our experience in organizing this can be much richer than the Aucklanders who only know about fighting, and our dwarves are honest and kind races. Dirty behind-the-scenes trading ... "

Later, Lu Xi thought he hadn't heard it. However, he rested his chin on it and pondered a bit, thinking that this idea sounded pretty good.

"Most of the time, large-scale events are the carnival of the people of the world, and it is also the biggest battlefield for companies to compete for presence. Well, as the undoubted boss of the White Road, we do have the need to seize the opportunity." Lu Greek said to himself: "In addition, in addition to the event, you can also get a large-scale event of the nature of the Expo, the World Expo and so on ... This is the taste of the industrial era."

Miss Wizard didn't understand what the other party was saying, she said helplessly to others: "He often does this?"

"Well, Lu Lu often does this, sometimes it's a cold joke that we don't understand at all, but most of the time he is actually thinking about many very important plans." Nicole said.

In fact, most of them are whimsical, but in Nicole's eyes, Lu Xi is correct no matter what he does. If it is not correct, then the wrong must be the world and the world who cannot keep up with Lu Xi's thinking.

"Is that the case?" Miss Wizard blinked her eyes and looked at the landing hopefully: "Anyway, if you want to hold a large-scale event in Lubao, and the rewards are really good, remember to do it when I participate. Get a handful. "

"Even if it's going to be held, it's the next Oktoberfest. Well, in ten years, everyone should be able to adapt to the arrival of the new era, so that the settings like the World Expo will be natural ... In other words, what is the last one Put it? What about the dwarves who are honest and kind and do n’t accept py transactions? "

"Yeah, so it's you who is behind the scenes. I just enjoy the results very happily. So that you know, people are pure girls and they don't understand those things."

This little girl who seems to be very "intimate" with Lu Xi, in fact, is also the guide lady sent by the official of the furnace to the little friends. It is a half-day time that all the little friends think of her as their own. There are few dwarfs ... female, yes, you read that right, just a dwarf girl. It is also the granddaughter of Shining Cave Lord Jin Li? Muradin III. Jin Li? The granddaughter that Muradin once said, "If I can't do it, I will marry your granddaughter with you", is this one.

Dwarf women are very rare, at least in the world outside the dwarf gathering area, so many fools who do not know the truth still simply think that the dwarf may not have a mother at all, and they have always grown out of the stone. What about race? This is because the women of the dwarves really do not like to venture outside the gathering place, and they do not like to live in the human society. Even if there are a small number of individuals of different colors, it is difficult for ordinary people to connect him ... well, they are connected with women.

Yes, the dwarf girls are actually bearded.

For example, now the Miss Emosala Muradin, in terms of the lifespan of a dwarf, is equivalent to ten years of humanity, at the age of the flower season, but she has a beard; although she is only three-thirds of each person. Ergao has a relatively sturdy body, but it can be regarded as mellow and cute, but it has a beard; although her facial features are not ugly, on the contrary, the round bun's face is not only bloated and fat, but also can be regarded as " "Yu Xue is cute", but she has a beard; although her character is actually very generous, whether it is a friend or a lover should be a very good candidate, but she has a beard; although this beard, strictly speaking, is actually just The thin fluff on the circle of the cheeks can be used as a scarf or the like, but the beard is a beard after all.

All in all, although it is always said that there is no pure friendship between men and women, Lu Xi said that this view is the scum of X insects, which should be thrown into the nuclear reactor and burned into nuclear waste. Then take the rocket to launch into the sun, the humanoid self-propelled bulldozer and planter. If you have any questions, just look at this bearded legal lady Lori Emosala? Muradin.

"I always feel that you maintain a certain degree of maliciousness to my existence." With a pair of watery blue-gray eyes, fair skin and Yuxue's cute bun face, but it is a dwarf with a beard. The girl gave Lu Xi a dissatisfied look.

Miss Muradin has now taken you through several events outside the city. At the Rowing Conference, Lu Xi let Nicole's boat win the championship and let the elf girl "little" earn nearly 1,000 gold coins. Several high-ranking losers had kindly expressed their desire to meet the winner, so they were kindly thrown into the lake by Nicole. This was also the first time a smile appeared on the face of the elf girl since Father Tifario left.

...... Sure enough, the smile is more suitable for Nicole, a little soft-hearted girl.

Although this smile is actually reluctant, it is more like not wanting to make everyone laugh, especially Lu Xi worried about a strong face, but in any case, this is always the beginning Because of their long lifespan and their strong focus on tradition, they are even willing to spend hundreds and thousands of years to mourn their relatives and friends-from this perspective, Lu Xi brought changes to the elves, at least in Nicole The body shows a positive meaning. She is willing to look forward, and is willing to participate in this carnival with everyone. Then there will always be the day when the sadness will be put down and changed back to the happy little soft girl?

"So, everyone originally planned to go to the big market to Taobao Shenma, but because of participating in horse betting ... ah no, it took a while to get the pocket money. Now it is going to be late, now it is one night to go to the big market , Sure enough, since it ’s Oktoberfest, should I go to the Oktoberfest and drink beer for free? "

"Only by participating in the daily registration for the Liquor Competition, and the top 100 are free." The dwarf girl said: "... Of course, you are also a VIP of the Fortress. It is impossible for you to really cost you money, but since It ’s all-you-can-drink, and of course it ’s better to be with the members of the six big families? Otherwise, would n’t it be said that our dwarves are rude? ”

"... All the members of the six royal families have arrived?"

"Except for those who can't get away from work, it's all here. This ten-year Oktoberfest was originally a family gathering of the six royal families. While drinking a big drink and meeting to discuss the major events of the ethnic group, this was originally the habit of the dwarves. This has inexplicably evolved into a carnival. However, what should be discussed is still to be discussed. "

"The inferior people outside are reveling, while the inferior people inside are holding high-level political meetings. This setting is actually fine."

"Yes! In addition, the Seal of the Lord of the Fortress has also been retrieved, and it is also time to decide the vacant candidate for a long time. Grandpa hopes that you can be a witness, and the other family leaders have agreed."
