king of the castle

Chapter 401

Elves are not only the race closest to nature, but also the most artistic race. 【】The tree house is cleverly built between the branches of the big trees, which is both stable and integrated with the surrounding environment, giving people a pleasing feeling.The inside of the tree house is even more beautiful. The walls are full of delicate but uncomplicated decorations. From the entrance, you can see the lush green. The furniture in the house is also made of wood. The surface of the furniture is the most natural wood texture. Complements the style of the whole house.

As soon as Roger sat down, an elf brought a drink made of some kind of plant.Roger was not worried that these proud elves would poison him, so he took a sip from the wooden cup generously.

This drink is very similar to the tea leaves on Earth, but the tea leaves are more fragrant and mellow.Such a good taste made Roger couldn't help drinking a few more sips, and then he put down the cup and sighed with satisfaction: "It's fragrant in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste, good tea!"

When Roger first started drinking tea, the elder elves looked down upon him to some extent.Among the elves, vulgar human beings can't appreciate the beauty of this tea, and Roger's doing so is purely pretending.However, Roger immediately mentioned the two biggest advantages of this tea, which surprised the elders and did not dare to underestimate this human nobleman.

"These are all gifts of nature." An elder elf interjected, "They are all special products of the Green Sea Forest. It's a pity that you don't care about this great forest, and you are conniving at your subordinates to destroy it wantonly for your own benefit."

The elf elder's words were not polite, and he put Roger on the opposite side of the elves, which didn't seem like a way to solve the problem.Roger glanced at the other party indifferently, and then asked calmly: "Please, this elder's name is..."

"My name is Ben." The elf elder who spoke did not hide anything, and directly said his name.

It turned out to be Han Sai's father. Like a father, like a son, both father and son have the same virtues, and they specialize in fighting against their buddies!

Knowing that this elder turned out to be Han Sai's father, Roger couldn't help but secretly scolded the father and son as bad guys.However, he did not show the slightest displeasure on the surface, but said to Benn with a smile: "It turns out that it is Elder Benn, I want to ask, do the houses and food that the elves live in all come from the Green Sea Forest?" ? Didn’t you do any damage to the forest when you collected materials for building houses and food for food?”

Roger's question is difficult to answer.Although the elves claim to be the protectors of nature, almost all of their food comes from the forest. How could they not cause any damage to the forest?If you answer truthfully, you will admit that elves, like humans, destroy the forest for profit.But if you don't admit it, you are lying to your face, and it is not an easy task for several respected elf elders.

"Why, can't you guys answer this question?" Seeing that the Elf Elders were expectantly silent, Roger said with a faint smile: "Actually, everyone knows very well that no matter if it is an elf or a human, as long as they have an intersection with the forest, they must Will be harmful to the forest. I did hurt the Green Sea Forest, but you obviously did the same!"

Speaking of this, Roger deliberately smiled, and then stopped talking.His meaning is very clear: You elves are destroying the forest just like me, so what position do you have to blame me?

Although Roger's words were sharp, the elf elders had lived for hundreds of years after all, so they still had a little knowledge.One of the elders reacted quickly, frowned and retorted: "Mr. Li, what you said is actually not correct. Although we elves have also caused damage to the forest, we have always controlled this damage so that the forest can recover by itself." But you humans are cutting down the forest so much that there is no grass left anywhere, and the damage caused can never be repaired."

"That's because you have a small number of elves, but you occupy a large forest, while you have a large number of humans, but you can only log in a small area at the edge of the forest. That's why this happened." Roger said unhurriedly : "How about this, I will ask my subordinates to expand the range of activities in the forest by ten times, so that we don't have to cut down every tree we get, and the damage can be controlled within the acceptable range of the forest."

Roger's words shocked the elders of the elves. If the range of human activities was expanded by ten times, they would be closer to the camp of the crescent moon elves.The elves don't want to get so close to humans, it's very dangerous for them who are at a disadvantage.If that's the case, the crescent moon elves can only choose to migrate away.

But rebuilding the camp is no easy task.It would take several years just to use the secret method to grow a tree that can build a tree house, not to mention that there are many other complicated tasks to do in rebuilding the camp.In fact, the crescent moon elves have lived in the current camp for hundreds of years. If they had to leave because of the expansion of human beings, none of the elves would be able to find a place as suitable for survival as they are now.

"You are intimidating!" Roger's words made Ben very angry. He stood up and said to him, "We crescent elves will never accept threats from humans!"

"I'm not threatening, but explaining a fact." Roger said unhurriedly: "You elves occupy such a large area of ​​the forest with a small number of humans, but we have a large number of humans, but we can only move around the edge of the forest. It's not fair!"

Even Randolph, who has a gentler attitude towards humans, couldn't stand Roger's words. He couldn't help but said, "But many places outside the forest are occupied by you humans!"

"That's right." Roger spread his hands in a so-called way: "You can also choose to live outside the forest. I promise, at least in my territory, you can live wherever you want! If you temporarily lack food, I will How about giving it away for free for a while?"

Roger's words made the elves fall silent again.The elves have long been used to living in the forest, and asking them to go out of the forest is simply nonsense.What's more, the rest of Kent County is full of deserts, and the elves can't survive without the forest.

Even if Roger would provide food for the crescent elves, his suggestion would be a bad idea.If the greedy humans know that an elf tribe has left the forest, it won’t be long before slave catchers flock to try to capture all the elves as slaves. Live in peace.

Seeing that all the elf elders were silent, Roger suddenly chuckled softly and said, "You, both humans and elves, each have your own difficulties. So I won't really ask my subordinates to expand the range of activities by ten times, but please Don't try to sabotage my logging."
