Because Lin had the experience of studying Walder, he quickly came up with a plan and requirements and gave it to the elves. After all, they were in someone else's territory, so Marco Lin clearly explained what they needed to do. This was to avoid misunderstandings and to make it easier for him to do things.
Moreover, most of the equipment used to study the World Tree was left in the Wood Elves' tribe. Walder personally taught the Wood Elves to do some regular records and continuous observation research. In other words, other than the coffin, everything else had to be made by the elves.
This was similar to Earth. Even if they didn't really teach their knowledge to their financial backers, they had to spend some effort to persuade them to willingly take out money to fund their research.
In the mysterious land, making money wasn't difficult for someone, but the difficult part was that they had to exchange it for useful magic materials and make the necessary equipment. In a world where bartering was popular and rare materials were scarce, this wasn't something that could be done with money. As the saying goes, one job can't have two owners. This kind of trouble was directly thrown to the elves, giving them a headache.
Of course, the elves didn't just sit around and watch others do things. There was still a group of people who followed Lin to do odd jobs and do some simple calculations. Their original purpose was to learn something about the World Tree from someone.
At first, Lin intended to teach them seriously. But the physics and mathematics knowledge related to the World Tree, even the simplest introductory part, was like a heavenly book to the elves. So, he sent Kaya to teach this group of illiterate elementary school students mathematics.
To be honest, seeing this group of elves made Lin feel a little better. Perhaps Jermaine's performance wasn't as exaggerated as Fen's, but the latter dug out all of Lin's knowledge in just a few days.
The silver-bearded dwarf Jermaine's performance wasn't that bad either. Lin didn't have anything to teach him about the parts he was interested in. What was left was at most to provide some research directions or a general direction to solve problems.
And the group of illiterate elves seemed more like ordinary students on Earth. Perhaps they were more studious and hardworking, but at least their learning speed was not as fast as the two perverts who had a photographic memory.
This actually confirmed a certain someone's conjecture. The outstanding performance of the elves was actually the result of their accumulation over a long period of time. It was not that they were truly gifted and had a higher starting point than humans. At most, they would live a long life.
However, in terms of efficiency, it could only be said that the Elves were indeed worthy of being called Elves. Although they handled things in an orderly manner, they handled everything slowly. The elves took their time to deal with things. Since the homework wasn't in place yet, Roland could only follow suit and do things slowly.
Among them, the most anxious was of course the World Tree Lahti. The kitten lying on a certain someone's head, no matter who it saw, was meowing in a scolding tone and waving its two short little legs at the same time. Unfortunately, not many elves could see or hear him, and a certain someone did not want to be a mouthpiece and scold a group of people who had nothing to do with him.
Another one who showed an anxious mood was the king of the elves — Ridan the Third. Of course, his pressure came from the tri-colored kitten that appeared in front of him from time to time. As a legal mouthpiece of the World Tree, it was his duty to convey the will of this king. However, the result of this young king's appearance made a certain someone smell an unusual atmosphere.
Logically speaking, the king was the highest leader of a country. Since the leader had directly given the order, the people under him would still be in a hurry to complete the task. However, the elves still maintained their usual calmness, which was somewhat abnormal. Of course, the guards brought by this young king did not have the kind of attitude that would make others anxious. The real problem was with the Divine Wood Guards directly under Lahti.
In fact, it was not just that they did not cooperate in promoting the advancement of the World Tree. As one of the local masters, the members of the Divine Wood Guards were picky and looking for trouble everywhere.
It was fine if there was no place to receive guests, but there were all kinds of rules regarding the location of the camp and toilet. There were also all kinds of restrictions on cooking, and there was even a restriction on the use of open fire. Fire could only be used at certain times. This made most elves who had tasks to do could only eat dry food after missing the meal time.
Generally speaking, the attitude of a guest was that the guest followed the host's wishes. If the host had any taboos, of course, there was no need to violate those taboos in order to live. Naturally, they would try their best to cooperate. However, after these days, a certain someone only had one feeling. It was not that the other party had many rules, but that they were deliberately looking for trouble.
It was not just a few humans and a silver-bearded dwarf who had come out of nowhere who received such treatment. This included the young king, the ministers who came with him, and all the elven guards and elven warriors who protected the ministers. They all received the same treatment.
Perhaps the king thought that it was because he was too young, so in the face of such treatment, he chose to swallow his anger. Most ordinary elves were also intimidated by the reputation of the Divine Wood Guards in their hearts, so they also chose to resign themselves to it. However, not all elves were soft persimmons who could be bullied by others.
The group of people who disliked the attitude of the Divine Wood Guards the most were, of course, the ministers who came with the king. In terms of age and seniority, many of the guards were their juniors. How could they allow a group of juniors to put on airs in front of them? It was true that they were all the best among the elves, but when it was time to reprimand them, this group of old elves would not be polite.
Another group of elves who were dissatisfied was a group of elves led by Riena Titov. Their common characteristic was that they had once traveled through the Maze World, not staying in the closed environment of the elves and blindly following all the traditions from ancient times to the present. In particular, there were some among them who had the opportunity to enter the Divine Wood Guards, but for various reasons, they did not join.
However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, the elves on the whole still knew how to control themselves and would not have conflicts over some trivial matters. In any case, those who could protect the king to this point would not be so blind as to ignore the opinions of the young king and act recklessly against others. What was more, the opponent was not the enemy or the group of humans who surrounded the kingdom, but the elites of their own country.
Such tolerance was a dangerous signal in the eyes of a certain someone. Not only did Lin feel that the atmosphere under the shade of the World Tree was very strange, but for some elves, it was like a pressure cooker that was constantly accumulating pressure. It would not be surprising if it exploded at any time. The internal opposition that had faintly formed among the elves, to be honest, had already made a certain someone want to go home.
As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. Because he could not officially begin his observation and research, and could only constantly do meaningless preparatory work, Lin used this gap to secretly observe the members of Lahti's Divine Wood Guards and record their every move.
A few days later, he found a gap, lifted the military tent, and slipped into the boudoir of two people. Of course, the timing was right, and he did not see anything awkward.
When they saw the appearance of a certain someone, a Lich, an Elf, and a certain someone's two apprentices who were secretly turning on a private kitchen all widened their eyes. Half-sucked noodles hung from their mouths, and they looked like they had been caught red-handed. This group of people who originally only ate bread had long been trained by a certain someone to the point that they could all make a few dishes from Earth. There was no need to talk about eating. As a direct descendant of the Great Foodie Empire, conquering the stomachs of this group of people was a piece of cake.
The two girls mindlessly continued to suck the noodles into their mouths. The beautiful elven sword dancer, on the other hand, buried her face into the bowl and continued eating, her pointy ears red. She thought that she could live with her conscience if she did not see anyone. Only Fen was calm enough. She bit off the noodles, chewed a few mouthfuls, and swallowed.
After eating a few mouthfuls, she asked, "Why did you suddenly appear to scare us? Or did you finally muster up the courage to come and sleep with us at night? "
After countless invitations, a certain someone still shook his head like a rattle drum, even though the Elven sword dancer generously agreed and also looked eager to try. It was important to know one's own limits. A certain someone knew very well that he could not even deal with one Lich, and he still wanted to fight two alone. Did he think that his life was too long, or that his body was too good? So Lin hurriedly changed the topic back to his goal and said,
"I have something to ask Li Ena."
"You want to ask me?" The female elf who was called raised her head. Ignoring the green onion at the corner of her mouth, she asked, "What do you want to ask me? I won't tell you anything that's too confidential. When we're with Fen, we have a tacit understanding to not ask too many things that we shouldn't ask. I have the same attitude towards you. "
"Hmm." After pondering for a while, Lin smiled helplessly and said, "Answer as much as you can. The first question is, how many people are there in your Divine Wood Guards? "After saying that, he pulled open the standard Water Mirror Technique screen and displayed a densely packed picture of human faces. They all had pointed ears and wore hoods, but they did not deliberately hide their faces and characteristics.
Looking at the screen, Li Ena said, "They are all Divine Wood Guards. Why are you asking this? "
"Because in the past few days, I have confirmed the members of the Divine Wood Guards. After eliminating the suspected duplicates, there are only a total of 73 people. Are these all the members of your Divine Wood Guards? This is very important, so please think clearly before you answer. "
Although Li Ena did not understand, she looked at a certain someone's rather serious appearance and answered seriously, "No, from what I know, the Divine Wood Guards have a total of two hundred and thirteen people. Among them, there are three Druid Elders and two Extraordinaires. You've seen one of them. It's that Ronan Peterson. "
