Chapter 402 Man and nature live in harmony

"This is impossible!" As soon as Roger's voice fell, an Elf Elder couldn't help saying: "You have damaged the forest too much. If you continue like this, it won't take ten years for the Green Sea Forest to be repaired. Destroy, we crescent moon elves can't see this kind of thing happening and ignore it!"

The reactions of the elves were all in Roger's expectation. 【】He knew very well that the elves would not change their attitude towards logging operations just because of his few words.After all, they live in this forest, and the destruction of the forest is equivalent to smashing the jobs of the elves.They agreed to negotiate with themselves, more because of the pressure brought by those soldiers.If there wasn't such an army waiting outside the camp, the elves would have killed the human who broke into their camp.

"What if I strictly control the scope of my men's activities and promise not to cause more damage to the forest?" Roger, who had been prepared for a long time, threw out his real conditions: "At the same time, I will declare the forest within Kent County as a forbidden area. All human beings are forbidden to enter except the lumberjacks. If this is the case, would you crescent moon elves live in peace with me?"

The conditions offered by Roger were not unattractive, and the elders were all lost in thought.Controlling the scope of logging and ensuring that no further damage is caused to the forest is tantamount to relieving the elves of their worst worries.And prohibiting other people except lumberjacks from entering the forest solves the worries of the elves.

You must know that the place where the Crescent Moon Elves live is close to the edge of the Green Sea Forest, and most of the slave hunting teams that pose a threat to the Crescent Moon Elves all enter the forest from the direction of Kent.If Roger announced this ban, the safety of the crescent moon elves would be greatly guaranteed.As for the vast green sea forest on the other side of the camp, it is difficult for humans to approach the camp from that direction.

Roger offered such a good condition, which naturally made the elders of the elves have to seriously consider whether to continue to fight against the human lord, or to cooperate beneficially to both parties.Although the elves generally look down on humans, the current situation is that the situation is stronger than the elves. They can't help but act according to their own likes and dislikes, but they must consider Roger's influence on this forest.

Only Ben, the pure elf supremacy, is not good at cooperating with humans.To him, human beings are all despicable and shameless guys, and their words are completely unbelievable, let alone reaching any agreement with human beings.But Ben also knew how beneficial Roger's proposal was to the Crescent Moon Elf, and if he wanted to reject him without any basis, he would never get the consent of the other elders.Ben rolled his eyes a few times, and soon thought of a solution to this problem.

"Mr. Li, can you guarantee not to cause more damage to the forest?" Benn said with a smile: "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to stop the work at the logging camp?"

Ben's words also caused several other elders to turn their attention to Roger, waiting for him to give a convincing answer.In the impression of the elves, no human can pay as much attention to the protection of nature as they do.If Roger doesn't come up with a plan that they think is feasible, then his credibility in the hearts of the elves will be greatly reduced.

Roger was not at all surprised that Ben made trouble, and understood that if the elves' doubts could not be resolved on this issue, there would be no possibility for the two parties to reach an agreement.However, Roger has long been concerned about this, and said to several elders in a calm manner: "I have always believed that people...human beings and nature should live in harmony. Only in this way can human society develop sustainably. The practice of destroying the environment must not last long, and the ones who will eventually swallow the consequences will be the environmental destroyers themselves!"

Although Roger's words have never been brought up in the world of Torenzo, they are very much on the minds of the environmentalist elves.All the elders smiled when they heard this, and their impression of this human lord improved a bit.Only Ben was not satisfied with Roger's words, and he couldn't wait to point out: "Mr. Li, you haven't told us how to do it yet!"

"It's very simple. I will replant trees in the forest that has been cut down." Roger said confidently: "In the future, every time a forest is cut down by the logging farm, new saplings will be replanted there. With the conditions of the Green Sea Forest, Small trees can grow into fruit within a few years, so by taking turns working in a certain area, the felling area can be limited to a small area, and you don’t have to worry about greater damage to the forest.”

The method Roger mentioned has long been a common practice on Earth.But in the world of Torenzo, where there is almost no concept of environmental protection, this method has a bright feeling.Several elf elders tapped on Roger's words, and all of them nodded slightly involuntarily, obviously agreeing with his proposal.

Seeing that Elf Elder treated him very well, Roger simply told all the details.For example, cultivating fast-growing tree species to speed up turnover, leaving interconnected "green passages" between each forest for the migration of living animals, and controlling the number of daily logging are all copied from the earth. popular approach.

Although the methods Roger mentioned are methods that the elves have never heard of before, but they are a race that understands nature very well. As soon as they heard it, they knew that Roger's method was feasible and could indeed protect the forest. Treat this human lord differently.

The elves can come out from Roger talking about how to protect the forest, and casually mentioning so many useful methods. He didn't just make up an excuse to appease the elves, but he already had something to do with it. Considered.This made the Elf Elders seriously consider the possibility of cooperating with Roger. After all, the conditions proposed by Roger were of great benefit to the Crescent Moon Elves.

Seeing the changes in the expressions of the Elf Elders, Roger knew that he had convinced them, so he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Of course he could order the army to attack the elves, but he was not sure that he could kill all the elves in such a forest. In the end, some of the strongest elves would definitely escape.

If something like that were to happen, the surviving elves would surely retaliate against Roger.In the future, not only the logging camp Yongning Day, but even the pier and even Kent Town will be attacked by elves.Now Roger can be regarded as the owner of a big family and a big business, and a bunch of elves who come to revenge with a mortal heart are not the neighbors he wants.Especially the Elf and Elvira, a silver-level powerhouse, made Roger even more troublesome.That's why Roger wanted to resolve the lumberyard problem peacefully, so as to save a lot of trouble later.

The elf elders other than Ben felt that Roger's conditions were reasonable, and they exchanged glances, and they all got satisfied glances from each other.Randolph coughed lightly and was about to speak when a sharp whistle sounded from far away. The expressions of all the elders immediately changed when they heard the whistle.
