Wolf King

Based on the concept of making the best use of things and making the best use of people, when Evelyn proposed that she wanted to work in a flour mill and sharpen her mental strength, Xiao Yun took it for granted...to reject this utterly unreasonable request.

joke!Balk honestly made powder because this idiot didn't care about the application of magic science, and he didn't want to work hard? Naturally, he had to work hard; Evelyn, who was completely regarded as a master compared with Balk, was also sent to make powder. What kind of person has Xiao Yun become!

So Xiao Yun quickly gathered thirteen cat warriors to set up an applied magic research group, and put Evelyn in as the group leader, and then threw out a bunch of research topics to make Evelyn's bear face... …

"Uh...fiber material project? Natural fiber? Inorganic fiber? Synthetic fiber?" Evelyn struggled to take it apart and she knew it all. Polymer material...plant latex?!"

"That's right." Xiao Yun said with a righteous face, "Why do we advocate a scientific understanding of magic? Why do we have to learn to use scientific methods to understand magic power and explain the connection and influence of magic energy and the laws of operation of all things in the world? Do you spend your whole life researching how to throw bigger fireballs to hit people like traditional magicians? Of course not!"

"The magic energy of throwing a small fireball can create an air bomb, which can blast away a cubic meter of thick rock formation that is difficult to dig by manpower, allowing the engineering team to repair the road. The magic energy of throwing ten small fireballs can create a large area of ​​resonance, which can Shake down the rocks blocking the road and make the road smoother!"

"Magic, the ubiquitous energy that exists in the world, can be used not only for destruction, but also for creation!"

Xiao Yun, who was waving his arms vigorously and giving a speech, seemed to have a holy light. The eyes of the cat warriors who had been transferred to magic apprentices were shining, and Evelyn was also infected with enthusiasm: "Of course, teacher, scientific magic is definitely better than traditional magic. Magic comes strong!"

Xiao Yun nodded with a smile: "I'm very glad that you can support my point of view, Evelyn. Our snow wolf clan loves peace. As a snow wolf, I pursue the way of scientific magic, and what I pursue is the way of benefiting the world with magic. " He showed a disappointed expression, "I regret that I can't feel the magic power, so I can only pin my hope on you." The same ideal, the time and painstaking efforts we spend on learning scientific magic are all for the purpose of achieving the only common goal - to let all intelligent races know that not all spellcasters are destroyers, and magic is definitely not just It's a way to kill."

"Yeah!!" The cat warriors nodded vigorously in unison.There is no need to express it in words. After becoming a member of the Huoyan Tribe, you will naturally understand and agree with the Huoyan Tribe and Ayun's pursuit of ideas.

"We have taken the first step of scientific understanding of magic. Next, what we want to study is how to use the power of magic to find ways to benefit the world." Xiao Yun picked up the research topic of the group and said solemnly, " How to take this step requires all of us to explore together. Since it is an exploration, of course it starts with the most fundamental need: the research of new materials that can benefit all intelligent creatures."

"The first topic to be studied is fiber. There are several types of natural fibers, medium and high-end fibers such as dark elves' spider silk, a kind of animal fiber monopolized by dark elves; seaweed fibers of sea people; forest elves' Plant fibers. The low-end ones include flax, cotton and other plant fibers that are distributed everywhere, as well as wool produced by our snow wolf clan, and animal fibers provided by long-wool sheep."

After a pause, Xiao Yun asked with a smile: "So are these the only types of natural fibers? Can any of you answer?"

The cat warriors looked pure, Xiao Yun's words were out of line, they couldn't understand...

Evelyn understood, but she couldn't answer the question, so she hesitated for a long time before saying, "Should... there are more?"

"That's for sure. Before the tauren cultivated weeds into food, who knew which seemingly inconspicuous weeds could be used as food?" Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, "There are countless kinds of plants in the world, and there must be more. A certain plant, like cotton and hemp, can provide plant fibers that we can process into cloth, but we haven't discovered it yet. This is the subject that our magical science application group will study long-term and persistently."

"As for inorganic fibers, we can regard them as fiber materials that can be provided by substances other than animals and plants..."

The cheapness and popularization of cloth and cloth products on the earth began when scientists in the United States discovered at the beginning of the [-]th century that fibrous filaments could be extracted from the melt of dihydric alcohols and dicarboxylic acids in petroleum through polycondensation reactions. The beginning - the melt was called polyamide, and the drawn fibers were named nylon. (Nylon fiber is the raw material for many man-made synthetic fibers, and the Yankees made a lot of money)

Yes, that's right, hypocritical people in the 21st century hate all chemical products, and are crazy about the so-called 100% pure cotton and wool, but the fact is that if there is no synthetic fiber, (not counting the industrial and military gap) then 70 billion people on the earth Although there are not many people who are not fully clothed, there are definitely not many people who are so extravagant that they can throw a cupboard of old clothes into the trash; except for a very small number of rich and powerful at the top of the pyramid, there will not be many people at all. Have the capital to renew on a quarterly basis and new models every year...

In the early days of the liberation of New China, the fact that a family in a remote area only had one pair of trousers was neither an exaggeration nor a joke. Natural animal and plant fibers alone could not meet the needs of all people on earth in terms of cold protection and beauty.

Based on the existing population base and average cultural level of the tribe, it would be foolish to say that synthetic fibers are being used now, but efforts can still be made in animal and plant fibers; spider silk, bark cloth (sun cloth), seaweed cloth ( There are such unscientific things as the Sea Clan Magicweave Cloth, who knows if there are any other magical plants and animals waiting for people to discover and use them?

By the way, it can also lay the foundation for future synthetic fiber technology, and "implement" the big topic of cooperative fibers on paper—the hydrogen bomb project was established while the new China was researching the atomic bomb. The shade of people can't be described in days and nights; Xiao Yun has no big trees to rely on after crossing over, so of course he can only choose to plant trees by himself...

As for the matter of fooling Evelyn, who is a forest elf, to plant trees for her family... What kind of race is there in academics, vulgar is not vulgar!With the title of master and apprentice, what does it matter for a disciple to be a coolie!

No problem.

I didn't see that Xiao En was not qualified enough to help him grow together, and he was still sinking in the math in junior high school...

Eastern steppe.

The camp closest to the York Range is the largest Tiger Clan camp in the east, at least half the size of a royal court.The tall and thick walls made the camp look like a strong fortress, and it stocked a large amount of pasture, food, armor, cowhide, and a large amount of magic crystals, magic cores and other spell-casting materials collected from adventurers in the York Mountains.

In addition to supplies, this camp has the largest number of troops in the eastern camp... a large tent of elite Tiger Clan fighters!

The Tiger Clan's warrior formation habit was brought over from the Beastman Empire. The tent owner is the most basic officer with twelve soldiers; thirteen tents are a middle tent, and thirteen middle tents are a large tent. There are more than 2000 people. If such a force is deployed in the human kingdom, it is enough to capture a city with a scale of 10 people... Of course, the follow-up rule is not included.

As the leading fighting race in the orc clan, the Tiger Clan did not have the habit of using auxiliary soldiers. When they were on the "front line", naturally there would not be too many non-combatants of their own clan in the camp—except for a few logistics personnel. There are only slaves who can be discarded at any time.

The soldier Yale, who was promoted to the tent owner a year ago, folded his arms and stared blankly at his own soldiers who were carrying armor in front of the opposite storehouse.

Behind Yale, two soldiers belonging to the middle tent were lowering their heads and dragging a dead cat out of the tent, ready to take it outside and throw it away.

It was the tent where Yale lived, a grumpy officer.In just half a month, four or five cats were dragged out and thrown away.

The two soldiers who were assigned to throw the corpses hurried past Yale. When they walked a certain distance, Yale couldn't help but glanced over from the corner of his eye. It was well carried by those two people.

Yale withdrew his gaze and continued to look at his pawn.

The hand in the armpit clenched into a fist at some point.

It's a bit ironic to say that Yale, who can't stand the king's tent style, took the initiative to transfer back to the east for a year, and a large number of soldiers were transferred over one after another, followed by slaves transferred from various pastures, and a few slaves warrior.

The latter is what dissatisfies Yale and those who think like him the most—for orcs, warriors are glorious.Making slaves into warriors, and warriors into slaves, is too much for a proud Tiger Clan warrior to bear.

Unfortunately, Zhong Zhang is also one of the people who have such thoughts, but his actions are undoubtedly even more unacceptable... At least Yale is unacceptable. Let those slave fighters of the cat clan die in humiliation, isn't it true? Can it offset the impact of King Tiger's decision on the soldiers?

"What the hell is Tiger King thinking?"

Six months ago, this question only popped up in Yale's mind occasionally. At that time, he still felt that such an idea was quite disrespectful, and he eagerly got rid of this idea every time.But now, the question is constantly on Yale's mind, and Yale has been less actively evasive.

"It's ready, Yale." The soldier under him came back wiping his sweat.

Yale came back to his senses, nodded silently, made a gesture to follow him, turned his head and walked towards the gate of the camp.

"Shall we go on patrol?" the soldier asked curiously.

Yale nodded, thought for a while, and explained: "Didn't we find the footprints of deer in the north a few days ago, and we caught the deer with horns along the way and roasted it. During this time, we always eat dried meat and it tastes bad in our mouths."

Hearing this, the soldiers cheered up. Soldiers in other tents would often get some prey for a change of taste, but Yale, the tent master, was always silent and serious, which made the soldiers dare not take the liberty to say this.

Yale just wanted to get out and get some fresh air... If he hadn't taken up the position of accountant, he actually wanted to be transferred to another camp.Whether it was the grumpy middle tent or the slaves everywhere in the camp, he felt suffocated.

When they walked out of the gate of the camp, Yale and his party ran into the two returning soldiers who had discarded their bodies.

Yale has a little impression of them, if he remembers correctly... These two people should have had an account with his good friend Yaheng before; The person under the tent.

The two young tiger warriors who are about the same age as Yaheng, probably about 40 years old, can't see the vitality that young people should have in their expressions. Instead, they are full of gloom and stagnation. They always lower their heads slightly when walking , do not collide with other people's eyes.

The moment they passed by, Yale turned his head slightly to glance at the two of them, and then quickly looked away.

The terrain in the east is not as flat as in the middle, and the closer to the York Mountains, the denser the jungle. This kind of environment makes the tiger warriors who are used to the grassland feel oppressed. When they leave the camp, they feel as if they are surrounded by the jungle.

"When I was first transferred, I thought a war was about to start, but I stayed there for more than a year, and nothing happened." A soldier muttered, "Yale, do you know when we are going to leave?"

Yale shook his head.

"It's going to be moldy if you live like this~" The soldier made an exaggerated grimace at the others.

"Didn't you say that it would be great if you don't have to go to the pasture to take care of the slaves here?" A veteran familiar with this soldier laughed.

"That's what I said a long time ago!" The soldier yelled, looked around to see if there were no outsiders, and lowered his voice, "Besides, these slaves in the camp...would be better off living in the pasture."

"You really dare to say anything!" The veteran slapped him on the shoulder. "It's fine to talk when there are no outsiders. If others hear you, don't blame us for not knowing you."

"It's too heartless!"

Yale moved his ears, raised his hand and made a quiet tidy up, and the soldiers who were still teasing each other fell silent in an instant.

The experienced veteran sniffled, his face changed slightly, he gently pulled the young soldier, and walked quietly to the outside of the line.

Yale stood on the spot and waited for a while, then suddenly squatted down, jumped up, and rushed to the right side; with a light swipe of his thick right arm, his sharp claws broke through the dense and thick vines like a curtain, and his left palm clawed forward. out.

"Chong-!!"

Amidst the piercing sound of metal collisions, Yale's sharp left paw, which could tear a brown bear alive, scraped against a thick broad-backed broadsword; and the person who hastily turned such a thick steel knife across to block him was impressively A snow werewolf with a physique comparable to Yale!

"?!" Yale saw the opponent clearly and was taken aback. Before his brain could react, his body had already rushed forward instinctively, and he swung his right arm towards the opponent's throat.

"Roar!" The snow werewolf's fighting instinct was equally strong, and he opened his mouth to bite Yale's right arm without dodging or evading.

At this time, the veteran also rushed forward, bent his knees, and grabbed the snow werewolf that appeared suddenly from bottom to top.

Another snow werewolf appeared from behind the big tree, and pointed at the half-squatting veteran with a poisonous snake-like spear.

A strong gust of wind suddenly appeared in front of Yale, and the veterans who wanted to assist him retreated quickly.

It took only two seconds before and after this fight, and it wasn't until the Yale veteran returned to the original place that the other Tiger Clan fighters reacted and shouted in shock: "Snow Wolf Clan?! How could the Snow Wolf Clan be here?!"

Behind the vines that were blown out of a large gap by Yale's strong wind, more than [-] snow werewolves appeared from behind the trees, thorn bushes, and grass, and were staring at them with hostility!

"Although there are snow wolf tribes in the east, they are not close to the York Mountains. Who are you?!" Yale shouted.

The group of snow werewolves ignored Yale, and the closest snow wolf warrior with a steel knife even rushed out of the dense forest and slashed at Yale viciously.

"Be careful, Xiaohua." The snow wolf tribe warrior holding a spear followed closely behind, and the target of the attack was the veteran who was second only to Yale in response.

"Roar!" Yale was furious, slapped the steel knife away with one paw, and bit the opponent savagely.

The opponent was also very vicious, turning into a wolf directly, and bit Yale's head with a bigger mouth.

The path stepped on in the dense jungle does not have much room to maneuver, Yale barely avoided the bite, and another cunning snow werewolf kicked Yale almost to the ground under the cover of his partner's transformed huge body. ...

For an elite tiger warrior like Yale, it is a shame to transform into a battle, but the narrow terrain really left him no choice, and it was too late to tear off his clothes. Arrived at one place; as the two giant beasts tore and bit, the branches and thorns were smashed and crushed in pieces, and the big trees that were not strong enough were also broken under the impact...

Yale won't be defeated with one enemy and two, and the other Tiger Clan fighters are not for display. Even though the number of Snow Wolf Clan fighters is doubled, they can only stick to the Tiger Clan. The whole dense forest is full of frightened birds, and it is difficult to distinguish who is the best. Down.

A few minutes later, the group of snow wolf warriors suddenly helped each other get rid of the tiger clan, and they all retreated into the depths of the dense forest with a huff. Yale, who was so angry, was willing to let them go so easily, and immediately called the soldiers to pursue; Just after chasing a hundred meters away with the force of the wind, another group of more than 20 snow wolf warriors jumped out from the big trees and bushes of thorns and grass, and warmly welcomed the chasing tigers...

The individual combat strength of the Tiger Clan is the best in Bloomfield. Even if the elf king's army fights with the Tiger Clan fighters, it won't be cheap. Three batches of snow wolf warriors, no matter how angry Yale is, he can only choose to retreat...

They retreated, but those snow werewolves didn't chase after them.Suspicious, Yale led the soldiers back out of the jungle until they reached an open space where they could see the gate of the camp. Only then did they stabilize their minds and have the energy to think about the very puzzling questions:

"What's going on with these snow werewolves?? Are they crazy?!"

"They don't have the smell of wolves on them, and they went to wash them to make us play?!"

"Where did these guys come from!"

On the other side, deep in the jungle.

Xiaohua grinned and covered her bruised shoulders: "That leader of the tiger tribe is really powerful, my shoulder was almost bitten by him, hiss——lighten up, Ah Tian!"

"Don't touch the wound with your hands, your hands are dirty." Ah Tian felt sorry for Xiao Hua's injury, and blew on her to apply medicine.

"The Tiger Clan fighters here are indeed very strong. They should be the elite of the Tiger Clan. Even I can't last long alone." Yu frowned and said, "The patrolling fighters we intercepted these days are all such elite fighters... It's strange, What are they doing with so many fighters in their camp here?"

"Maomao, do you think Ah Yi's people will be locked up in the camp here?" Xiaohua said.

Yu was silent... He didn't know about this either!

"If it's locked here, we can't save people even if we touch it in winter." A Tian told the truth, "There are more tigers here than in the two camps we have been to before."

"...Let's wait around here for another two days." Yu said, "See if we can pick up the abandoned cat clan... alive. If you can ask, you will have an answer."

These words silenced the soldiers, and even the older bear child, A Yan, kept his face sullen and silent.

It has been a week since they came to this Tiger Clan camp closest to the York Mountains, and they picked up the abandoned cat clan... corpses three times.

It's not that the soldiers don't like to see dead bodies. How normal are dead people on the grassland?

But if it is a corpse that has been tortured with bruises all over its body and no good skin, it will be very uncomfortable-if you don’t want others to live, why not just kill them, why torture them? !

The snow wolves did not let the cat clan they took in see the corpses they picked up... It is really unbearable.

"The tiger clan is too much." Xiaohua didn't care about the pain, and patted her thigh angrily, "If you want to fight with the beast emperor, just fight it, bullying us prairie people is nothing!"

Yu remained silent, not showing his uneasiness.

He has attended Ayun's "upgrade course", and with a good understanding, he is still deeply impressed by Ayun's analysis of the Tiger Clan; It may be correct, the enemy the Tiger Clan is targeting may not be the Beast Emperor.

To whom the Tiger Clan is sharpening their knives, Yu has no definite answer, but he can understand more deeply why Ayun is so eager to gather the same clan as soon as possible—the Snow Wolf Clan, which is also likely to appear on the target list of the Tiger Clan .

After packing up his things and preparing to go back to the place where he spent the night, Ayan went to the grass and picked up the cat clan corpse he just picked up today, and looked at Yu: "Maomao, where should we bury him?"

Yu Buluo glanced at the thin cat clan body wrapped in the clothes brought by his own people: "This is a snow leopard... I remember Rosemary said that their snow leopards like to stand on a high place to look at the scenery, so find a mountain to hold it." Bury him on top of the mountain."

Ah Yan nodded. On the way back, he looked out for higher mountains. When he saw one on the way, he carried the unknown snow leopard up and dug a hole for the unknown snow leopard to sleep forever.

Finding a branch and sticking it in front of the simple earth bag, A Yan sat down and patted the grave bag, and said sadly: "I don't know if you know Rosemary, you look a bit like him. If you know, Then when you are born again, come to be Rosemary's child... Our tribe has a very good relationship with your cat tribe."

"Ayan? Are you ready, let's go!" Ah Tian shouted from the foot of the mountain.

"Here we come!" Ah Yan patted his buttocks to get up, and ran down the mountain.
