[Comprehensive] I see the king walking the deer every day

Soon, a leaf was hung on Joe's corner, and the number 1 was marked on the leaf.

After her, the rest of the deer also jumped out, jumping high in front of the gray-haired elf, the voices of "choose me" and "choose me" one after another.

These deer are big and small, old and young, and the gray-haired elf is not too cumbersome, and carefully screens them one by one, sifting out the ones that are too small and too old, and the ones that have no horns. Only some young and middle-aged people are left, and then the other elves will measure them carefully.

These elves seem to have certain standards for the selection of deer, and it seems to be quite strict.A few deer with too large noses were eliminated, and the length of the horns was very important, and one of the deer with antlers of [-] inches was wiped out.In the end, only seven or eight deer survived, lined up beside Joe, and each one was marked with a leaf.The gray-haired elf stood up, a parchment in his hand, and began to read the rules before the deer's procession.

"...the same elk is only allowed to compete once every 100 years. Anyone who dyes himself or puts dots on his fur to deceive him will be disqualified..."

"...The horned deer competition is divided into three stages, namely the speed race, the obstacle race and the power race. The winning deer will be awarded by the king himself... All the winning deer must not lick the king during the awarding process, otherwise they will be cancelled. qualifications……"

"...during the competition, the horned deer are not allowed to eat grass or drink water, nor knock other deer out of the competition position, nor negotiate information with other deer, nor dig holes on the ground..."

After more than a dozen rules, even Joe was confused. She seriously doubted whether these deer could understand.And she herself didn't want to participate in this kind of competition, and tried to leave quietly, but was stopped by a gentle female elf.Qingcao was not selected into the participating horned deer team because of a gap in her ear. At the moment, the crowd of horned deer who are watching loudly shouted "Come on, little flower".

Poor Joe was inexplicably forced to go to Liangshan, and had to follow the guidance of the elves to stand on the side of the track. Then an elf raised his bow and arrow and shot an arrow into the air!The moment the arrow hit the target on the tree trunk, all the deer rushed out!

Joe slowed a step and fell behind.Anyway, she was left behind, and she didn't want to compete for any ranking, so she simply walked behind leisurely, in stark contrast to the other deer who were like arrows flying off the string.Poor Qingcao was almost hoarse from cheering her on in the herd of deer, but she didn't expect her little friend to be so unsatisfactory, so anxious that smoke rose from her horns.

Several elves thought that something was wrong with Joe's body, and planned to go up and check her up.As a result, the elf king waved his hand to stop the other elves from moving, and raised his chin to let it go.So Qiao logically fished at the back of the team, and took the last place in a leisurely manner.

Just pulling a deer over for a game will end up like this.Joe flicked his tail, he was the last one, begging to be eliminated, begging to be wiped out, he is still busy looking for gold coins in the woods!

As a result, the winning deer was rewarded with a basket of fresh grass, and the losing deer was not eliminated. Instead, the gray-haired elf came out and re-announced a new rule: any deer that is not serious about the game will be punished if it is found.And after saying this, the gray-haired elf hesitated and glanced at Joe.

Joe froze.There is no such thing in the previous rules!How can there be a reason why a horse presses its head without drinking water?And even the elf who read out this rule has a very surprised expression.Just when Qiao was puzzled, a deer next to her bumped into her, and said unhappily: "It's useless for you to show off like this, let's compete hard."

She doesn't want to show off!

"The elf king doesn't like those deer who make small moves." Another deer also dissuaded, "If you don't want to participate, don't come here at the beginning. If you join the team and do this, the elf king will be very angry. There was once a deer The deer was fined to pull stones for despising the king for a whole year!"

"Yes. Later, the deer cried and wrote several sonnets praising the elves for the king, and the elf king forgave it. If you don't do well in poetry, you'd better not do strange behavior. Although the palace is almost the same now. It's fixed, there's no need to pull stones, but in case the king sends you to clean the toilet..."

The Elf King here would actually send a deer to clean the toilet...

Joe was deeply refreshed by the words of these deer.

The deer next to her also told her the story of a deer who failed the selection in the first year, cut off a section of his hoof in the second year and pretended to be a new deer to participate in the competition, and was finally punished by the king so that he could not walk for half a year.Before Joe felt that the IQ of the deer here was too strong, the elves had already announced the start of the second game.

This is an obstacle course.

The elves seem to know some magic, move their fingers, and read something strange, and stones grow on the ground, and huge tree roots, vines, and puddles appear.Those guys didn't seem to be using wands when they were casting their spells, and the spells they said were different from the ones she'd been taught.Not deer language, not dwarf language, not human language.

According to their species, maybe they are elvish, right?

With the sound of arrows from the elves, the second game of the deer began.This time, Qiao didn't dare to hide his secrets and be lazy any more. He strode forward with four long legs like a deer flying off the string, and rushed out like flying.Her speed is not the fastest among deer, but it is not bad.In addition, he was used as a pathfinder by the dwarves a few days ago, and he has a lot of experience in avoiding traps.In the early stage, it was on par with other deer. When it came to the activity trap in the second half of the road, Joe's advantage was clearly reflected.She didn't foolishly jump into the trap and hide around like other deer, but took the opportunity to go directly to the place with the least effort.He even managed to surpass all other deer at the last "active volcanic rock" trap and won the first place.

The elves all applauded for her wonderful jump at the critical moment.Jo was also rewarded with a basket of fresh leaves, but she didn't want to eat any of them.

Although those traps were made by magic, the effect was the same as the real thing. Many deer were injured in the process, and Joe's leg was scorched by a few lava.Instead of rushing into Game [-], the elves helped the deer with their wounds first.

It was a young blond elf who helped Joe treat the wound. He crushed some herbs and rubbed them on Joe's legs, chanting strange incantations in his mouth.Soon, the wound on Joe's body healed miraculously.The blond elf reached out and touched Joe's head, and told her with a smile: "We must work harder next time, Wang has been paying attention to you."

kindness?Hearing that, Qiao turned around and met the eyes of the legendary elf king behind him—because there was only one of the elves with flowers on his head, and Joe thought he was the elf king—that guy just glanced at him in distaste. She turned her head away at a glance and went to talk to some elves.

Is this considered attention?Are you going to let her go to the attention of the toilet?

The third game started soon, and this one was a test of strength.The content was not about arm wrestling and horn bumping against boulders as Joe had imagined before, but a weight-carrying contest.All deer have to carry a certain weight, and the deer with the strongest carrying capacity wins.

The elves brought many big black sacks and placed them on the backs of the participating deer one by one.These sacks contained either radishes or apples. They were round, big and heavy. As far as Joe was concerned, she could only carry one sack, and if she put two, she would have to be crushed.The rest of the deer were not much better.Except for the biggest one, which can carry two sacks, the others are similar to her, and some even collapsed under the pressure of a sack.And most of them were wobbly when they were marching. Of the eight deer, including Joe, only three managed to reach the finish line.

The Elf King looked very dissatisfied, perhaps because there were too few qualified deer.But Joe took this result for granted.This elf king may prefer good-looking deer, and all the ones selected are young deer with big horns, flexible body, slender legs, facial features or aura, or handsome young deer, and those sturdy deer with big arms and round waist are almost all gave up.

It is basically impossible to expect such beautiful deer to be able to run and jump, Wen Neng to pull himself out of traps, and Wu Neng to carry sacks with a straight back!How can there be so many perfect deer?

The elves got two wins out of three trials. Although Joe got a bad result in the first round, he performed well in the next two rounds, especially in the trap test. After some discussions among the elves, After that, it was finally decided to take her as No.2.No.1 was the only white deer among the participating deer. He had despised those nympho deer in the deer herd before, claiming that he would gallop on the battlefield with the Elf King.The average grades of this deer are all good, and it even carried two sacks in one fell swoop in the three tests. It is indeed Hercules (the Hercules in Greek mythology) among the deer!

As No.1 in this year's big horned deer competition, this white deer was favored by the Elf King (putting a garland on its horns by himself), and got the chance to make a request to the Elf King.The White Deer was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he quickly made a decision, planning to ask the Elf King to give it a name.

An elf who was in charge of communicating with the deer listened carefully to the wish of the white deer, and was about to convey this wish to the elf king, when suddenly several elves ran over from the outside and interrupted the sacred reward ceremony.

"My king!" A gray-haired elf stepped forward and presented a cloth bag, "A few days ago, a group of dwarves passed through the dense forest. They wreaked havoc along the way and injured many animals and plants. Team Lin just found some items left by the dwarves in the dense forest." He opened the pocket and spread out the items in the pocket to the Elf King with a cautious look that seemed to be suspicious of what was inside. Evil, or something terrible.

As the No.2 winning deer, Joe was relatively close to the position of the Elf King, so he stretched out his head to look.The elves are also quite good at picking up, and there are all kinds of messy things, such as dwarf travel caps, burnt pipes, and gray old pocket badges.Of course, in addition to these useless things, there are also some items with relatively high value.For example, two clear opals, or a gold coin with a dwarf's head printed on it.
