Wolf King

"Hey, Evelyn, you want cassia yoghurt."

Da He yawned and casually threw a fist-sized glass bottle into the window, and Evelyn, who was sitting behind the desk under the window, quickly reached out to catch it.

After squatting on the grassland for so many years, Evelyn certainly built her own hut.Her house is particularly conspicuous in the pursuit of tall, spacious and tidy living areas. It is a two-story tower-like (cylindrical) building with a wooden structure on the surface that is disguised as wood. The windows and doors are in the shape of , The small chimney on the roof is very particular about sentimentality, and the small garden in front of the house is actually planted with flowers and plants, instead of a yard of shallots and garlic.

On a fresh morning, Dahe, wearing a straight suncloth uniform, stands in a delicate garden full of flowers, and leans his arms on the window to talk to the elf girl who lives in a small pocket house with a single floor height less than [-] meters. How can such a scene It is full of the atmosphere of romantic fairy tales...

"Don't throw it away, can't you hand it in carefully!" Evelyn carefully put the yogurt bottle away, and said angrily, "Ah, you stepped on my flowerbed again! Can't you just walk the right path honestly! "

"You have such a small yard, and the paved gravel road has been circled several times. How can people walk..." Dahe yawned again, "Don't worry, I paid attention to my steps, and I didn't step on your flowers."

Evelyn got up and inspected the yard, and made sure that the flowers and plants in the yard hadn't fallen down, and then sat back down in peace: "Why are you yawning so early in the morning, didn't you sleep well?"

"Chengfeng, who lives next door to me, dragged the foreign students he brought home to make up lessons. They quarreled all night, so it's strange that they can sleep well." Dahe said unhappily, "If you ask me, that human cub is very difficult to teach. Just a few beatings will be enough, do you need to be so troublesome?"

"I kind of understand why the study abroad group didn't let you take it..." Evelyn squinted at her, "Forget it, I'll be kinder, you can come and stay with me for a few days, the cleanest place in the whole neighborhood is my place... "

Dahe turned around and left without looking back, and muttered unceremoniously in his mouth: "If you don't live together, you want me to do this and that all day long, but if you live together..."

"Hello?! Don't you want to be so stingy! What a gentleman!" Evelyn cried.

Dahe went faster, jumping out of the yard in the blink of an eye and falling onto the street, and disappeared around the bend after taking a few steps.

"This guy is getting more and more difficult to handle." The elf girl who didn't want to keep her slapped the table angrily.

When Evelyn came to the Ministry of Fire, she lived in the same room with Dahe for a long time. Dahe's salty fish is reflected in her lack of responsibility and lack of care, and she is also very quick at doing simple tasks that can be done easily. Yes, I am used to the snacks and snacks made by Dahe himself, and Evelyn doesn't even think highly of other people's skills...

Angry at best, Evelyn still ate up Dahe's special yogurt with slices of toasted steamed buns and fresh lettuce in one sitting, and there wasn't even a single bit left.

Residents like Evelyn who own their own houses have their own kitchens and cellars for storing food. When they don’t want to go or miss the time to go to the cafeteria, they can also cook some fast food at home.

Well, that's right, you have to go to the cafeteria to eat all the big and hard dishes. If you start your own business, most of them are ready-made bread, steamed buns, pancakes, vermicelli, dried vegetables and other fast food... The population of Huoyan City is not enough to accommodate some people. "Returning to the family" to give up jobs and call it housework also has a degree of social contribution. Cubs have to shine, and adults don't even think about squatting at home. (PS1)

Evelyn, who is used to toasting some bread slices or steamed buns for breakfast, plus a plate of lettuce salad and dairy products, will never do it herself for lunch and dinner.She just doesn't like to eat too "heavy" early in the morning, but she doesn't intend to make things difficult for her stomach.

Evelyn had just finished her breakfast when she, the most active "part-time member" of the magic application group, couldn't wait to come to the door... The moss, which turned into a wolf and carried two empty panniers on its back, rushed into her room. Yard, lying on the window sill and shouting towards the roof: "I'm ready, Evelyn! Let's go!"

"Get out of my garden!" Evelyn yelled.

"Oh." Moss turned around, and ruined Evelyn's garden again... rushed to the street outside, wagging its tail and yelling loudly, "Let's go Evelyn! Go collect it!"

Residents on the left and right sides were alarmed. Evelyn’s neighbor, a lynx who got up very angry, pushed open the bedroom window and scolded: “Come to disturb people early in the morning! Moss, don’t you owe a beating!”

"It's getting late, we've finished our breakfast!" Moss didn't hesitate at all, "Evelyn! Collect and collect! Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!"!"

Evelyn in the room put her hand on her forehead silently.

To tell the truth... If it weren't for the "vehicle" of moss when collecting samples, she would have saved a lot of trouble, she really didn't want to continue to hire this child laborer who was so excited to skip class when the collection day came...

The residents in the area where Evelyn lives are all cats (so she said that her house is the cleanest area), and the members of the magic application team are all Evelyn's neighbors. Moss's noise can be heard all over the street. A few minutes later, the yawning or energetic team members gathered in front of Evelyn's yard, ready to go.

"How is the hemp grass that your group cross-pollinated last time?"

"It's pretty good. The rhizomes of this batch of hemp grass are very tall and dense, but the height is a bit too high. I don't know if there will be lodging. I'm observing..."

"In my opinion, hemp grass is the best if it is thick and strong, and the fibers produced by retting are stronger. I heard that the Department of Agriculture is trying to infuse the pollen of horsetail grass to rice. Why don't we look for ideas from this aspect."

"Oh? Where will pollination come from?"

"Try it. Last time we pollinated the snake vine grass on the ground vines, didn't the ground vines surprise us? They are not afraid of aphids at all."

"But the drought tolerance has decreased, and the vines are not as strong as the original plants..."

Amidst the whispers of the team members, Evelyn packed her luggage and came out wearing a neat canvas (not the kind used on the boat, but cotton and linen blended fabric with a ratio of hemp thread) and a rucksack on her back. He waved his hand vigorously: "All right, let's go!"

"We've been done a long time ago, and you are the slowest!" The members of the cat clan yelled at her in unison, "Cut your hair short, Evelyn, I wait for a long time for you to get your hair done every time."

"Stop rambling, short hair doesn't look good in skirts!" Evelyn is also used to being teased, and she retorted while crawling on the back of the moss, "I don't want my aesthetics to be misled by you."

"I squatted in the test field for a long time yesterday and my feet hurt, and the moss let me sit on it." A lynx team member said, grabbing the moss's neck hair and crawling on her.

"Me too, I stood for a long time yesterday..."

"Hey, hey, it's agreed that I can only carry three people at most!" More and more people were pulling their long hairs and crawling on themselves, and the moss bloomed.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, you didn't have a load on you when you went there!"

The Holmes Kingdom Study Abroad Group, which is now black and shaky, came out of the home of the instructor Chengfeng. Before they got used to the glare of the sun, they saw a team composed of cats and a smaller snow wolf coming from the house. Staggering through the streets... On the back of the snow wolf clan, which is only three meters long, not counting the tail, a dozen cats were squeezed together.

Prince Hayne, who "debated" with Chengfeng all night and never won, watched silently as the overwhelmed cub Moss walked from one side of the street to the other. until it disappears from sight.

Prince Hain, who was already in an extremely bad mood because of losing (ridiculed, sprayed) too badly, suddenly felt a strong sense of grief and indignation in his heart-these prairie people treat their orc cubs so harshly, no wonder they treat their orc cubs so harshly. This young man is so cruel and ruthless~~~~!

I'm still a kid!Do you want to hit me so hard~~~~!

Prince Hain has been in Huoyan City for less than a week, and he has already deeply missed the good time when the proud son of the day was worshiped by everyone at the Elliot Palace Royal Academy...

"What are you still standing there for? Go back, take a shower, wake up and report!" Chengfeng saw a group of international students standing outside in a daze from the window of his house, and he couldn't help but get angry, "The progress is so far behind others, so go all out Just catch up, there is still time to dawdle!"

Prince Hain ignored the grievance, and hurriedly called the students from his country to follow him and leave.

As for the two or three kilometers away from the residential area of ​​Huoyan City to the lakeside hotel, why don't you prepare a carriage or something... Don't mention it, you will be sprayed by the instructor to doubt your life.

Similar to "a brain on the neck is for thinking, hands grow out for work, and feet grow out for walking forward. Ma Ma can't, Ma Ma doesn't do it. Is the meaning of your birth just to create Shit?!" This kind of super nasty words, Chengfeng couldn't bear to scold them after leading this group of foreign students for more than three days...

Hmm... being able to force Chengfeng, who is good at organizing and mobilizing work, to yell at him regardless of unity, on the other hand, it really shows that this group of international students is really difficult to teach—to use Chengfeng's private complaints to his friend Dahe: bull horns It is countless times more worry-free than them.

This is something that can’t be helped, after all... the word "do everything by yourself" was also used in ancient China to praise those "great virtuous" scholar-bureaucrats, and asked these servants to be in groups, and their fingers should not touch the spring water The young masters and ladies encountered snow wolf-style work experience as soon as they came up, and it is a ghost to be able to adapt well...

Leaving aside the "snow wolf clan-style realistic beating" that these international students received, the magic application team led by Evelyn traveled dozens of kilometers and explored several places deliberately not to affect their growth. The wild plant samples from the process returned to the city before dark, and they returned to the laboratory with great interest to compare with the artificially modified samples in the indoor greenhouse without thinking about eating.

Because the black oil mine (that is, oil) has not yet been obtained from the dark elves, the synthetic fiber project of the magic application team is still in the foreseeable future. Evelyn has been focusing on natural fibers for the past few years, and has achieved certain results: One is that the cotton seeds imported from St. Bridge have been soaked in sulfuric acid, alkalized, and hybridized with local plant pollen to obtain northern cotton seeds with certain cold resistance. The two-year trial planting has been quite smooth. Consult with the company on how to expand the planting scale without affecting the existing cultivated land.

Second, a good breakthrough has also been made in the direction of improving the local flax grass. The northern fiber flax species domesticated by the Tauren and the southern flax species imported from St. Although the second-generation hemp grass with higher fiber content still has the problem that the height of the plant is difficult to control, and it will be prone to lodging once it grows vigorously, it is enough to see that the price of ready-made clothes sold on the shelves of the Ministry of Welfare has dropped by one-fifth. Evelyn's effort.

By the time Evelyn finished her work today, it would have been dark and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. Evelyn didn't go to the cafeteria to eat leftovers, but went directly to Dahe's house.

"It's coming again." Dahe, wearing sleeves and an apron, was making supper for himself. Seeing Evelyn who came to the door, he was very disgusted, "Can you honestly go to the cafeteria to eat more, don't I always come here to eat, and I am not open for business here."

Evelyn's answer is always only one sentence: "What are you eating today?"

Da He: "...Egg-filled pancakes."

Evelyn was gearing up: "Hurry up, I'm starving to death, three servings first."

"Why don't you learn from Ayun his ability to do things by himself, and only learn his thick skin!" Dahe shouted.

The egg-filled cake is made of rice flour and potato starch. Now the wheat yield on the grassland has stabilized at about 300 catties per mu, but the rice is still persistently maintained at more than [-] to less than [-]...that is, rice flour It is more expensive than wheat noodles, and only a person like Dahe who is very picky about food and conditions can use rice noodles as wheat noodles so "luxuriously".

In short...whether rice flour cakes are more delicious or wheat flour cakes is more delicious is a matter of personal taste, but the enjoyment of egg-filled cakes made of rice noodles will definitely make people feel more "advanced".

"It would be great if the Ministry of Welfare could introduce this slightly troublesome but more delicious snack." Evelyn was quite satisfied anyway, "Well, the ketchup feels a bit lacking, Dahe, help me with the next pancake More ketchup."

"You're still picky about free food?!" Dahe, who was standing in front of the briquette stove and spreading rice milk on the hot iron plate, raised his voice.

Evelyn: "Add two extra leaves."

"Hey you're enough!"

The two were bickering, and someone knocked on Dahe's door again.

Before Dahe put down the flat spatula used to push the rice milk, the door lock made a "click" sound, and the guy who knocked on the door didn't even have the patience to wait for the owner to open the door, and directly opened the lock with magic...

"I just said that I saw Dahe buying eggs at the Welfare Department! Look, she is really cooking delicious food!" Oston saw the fire on the living room stove (a briquette stove with an iron plate that can be used as a table). What the hell, the voice immediately raised two tones, and he flapped his little wings excitedly.

"Shh! Don't just say it, you idiot!" Balk scolded the stupid old father in a low voice, and he piled up a smile on his face and lifted the oil paper bag in his hand, "I'm here to find you for supper, Dahe, I brought Roast duck and ribs!"

"What's the smell of ribs?" Evelyn originally planned to drive these two guys away, but when she heard that Balk was so upbeat, she immediately changed her spray to beckoning, and offered to give Balk a chair...

"Spicy, the kind sprinkled with sesame seeds. Dahe, help me add more spiciness to the egg-filled pancakes." Balk walked into the room naturally, poured fruit juice (that is, canned water) for himself, and took the plate for himself ...

"I don't want mine to be spicy, just put more tomato sauce. Is there any condensed milk? If so, add a little more." Alston flew directly to Dahe for a stroll.

Da He took the time to slap the old dragon away: "It's fine for Balk to bring his own dry food, you who come here empty-handed every time, what qualifications do you have to ask for a bunch?!"

"Didn't my son bring it? What's the difference with what I brought!" Alston said confidently, "Evelyn is not empty-handed."

Evelyn: "Balke also poured me a glass of juice, less hot water."

Da He stared at the dead fish eyes: "...Compared with the two of you, even Balk has become cute."

As usual, she ate and drank Dahe's food, and consumed a lot of snacks and tea at Dahe's house. It wasn't until sleepy that Evelyn stopped harassing Dahe and went back to her room.

"Huh? Have a letter?" Opening the door, Evelyn bent down to pick up the envelope from the carpet facing the door, put it on the desk, and went to the bathroom to wash.

The coarse pottery pipes buried underground when Huoyan City was still a tribe were gradually replaced with ceramic pipes and hard rubber pipes as the city expanded. Although it is impossible to supply hot water to the residences, there is no problem with running water to the households... Faucets, water towers, etc. are not very difficult technologies to break through, the difficulty is only the materials (the durability of iron pipe faucets is lower than that of pottery, especially in harsh winters on grasslands, iron pipes are easy to explode, and the cost of hard rubber is lower than that of iron pipes. It is expensive to make, but it is more durable and not afraid of explosion).

After taking a cold shower and changing into her nightgown, Evelyn took off the thin plastic cap that protected her hair, and sat down at the desk to open the letter.

The emergence of Huoyan City has driven the economic circulation of the Northern Continent. The Adventurer Association, Bard Association and even the Spellcaster Association have all come to the Northern Continent to develop "business" (the Alchemist Association did not come, is there a historical factor to cough), and now There is also a "store" of the Bard Association in Huoyan City, and two bards have been sent to stay there. It is no longer as difficult to receive private letters as before, and they have to wait for the elf port to receive them and forward them centrally.

Evelyn, who has received many letters from Anas, was very relaxed from the process of opening the envelope to flattening the letter paper. When her eyes swept over the beautiful elf-shaped characters, her expression suddenly changed. become extremely ugly.
