Hao Ren looked at the sculpture with himself as the protagonist for a long time, not knowing how to react. Although he felt that it was normal, for a guy who had never been a big shot, this thing in front of him was a little too exciting. Vimm did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he asked cheerfully, "What do you think? Are you satisfied with the sculpture? My mother thinks that it is necessary to place this sculpture in the central square of the city... "
Lily finally came to her senses. She rushed forward and yelled, "Wow! Mr. Landlord, you finally have the chance to be paraded in the square! "
Just as Hao Ren was about to give the husky a slap, he heard Vimm telling Lily with a smile, "Your sculpture is on the gate of the Western District, in both human and beast form. The guardian of the Aerymian elves, the beast who paved the way forward — each of you has a sculpture."
Hao Ren patted Lily on the shoulder and said, "See, you are hung on the gate."
Lily thought for a moment and actually felt that it was quite good. "Oh, maybe I can really ward off evil spirits..."
"What? Is this appropriate?" Hao Ren looked at Vimm, the magnificent sculpture next to him made him feel very strange. As a veteran citizen of more than 20 years, he was of course a little happy at this moment, but more than that, there was an inexplicable awkwardness. It was like helping an old lady on the road, only to find out the next day that your face sticker was printed on a banknote. It was very unreal, very unstable, very unbelievable, and also very guilty.
"What's inappropriate about it?" Vimm nodded matter-of-factly. "The whole race has gained a new life. Such a big event needs to be commemorated. Do we want our future generations to forget who the place belongs to?"
Hao Ren crossed his arms in front of his chest and felt that it was reasonable. When he turned to look at his sculpture, a bright smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he looked even more like a country bumpkin than the two elves behind him when they first boarded the spacecraft. However, he was, after all, a guy that Raven 12345 recognized as "born to be an inspector, a simple-minded guy". He quickly regained his composure and accepted the glory calmly. His face was already so happy, it would be pretentious to refuse.
However, after a few glances at the sculpture, he felt that it was a bit weird. In the end, it was Lily who pinched her chin and walked around the sculpture. She came over and tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve to remind him. "Mr. Landlord, why do I feel like you are going to block people's eyes?"
Hao Ren was speechless. Why was the husky always so quick-witted? Was she pretending to be dumb all the time?
The two elves had no idea what they were talking about. Coupled with the alertness of being in an unfamiliar environment, Joseph and Aylu were quietly meditating behind them. At this time, Vimm finally became curious about them. "Mr. Landlord, they are..."
"They are my assistants from another world. They are also envoys," Hao Ren briefly introduced. "This is Joseph, the white elf, and this is Aylu, the dark elf. They are elves from another world. It is said that according to the work manual of the creator, you two are also distant relatives. I have something to discuss with your mother later. Both of them must be present. "
Vimm was not a man who put on airs. After knowing their names, he extended his hand enthusiastically (he had learned the etiquette from Hao Ren). "Oh, welcome, Miss Envoys. I am the regent of the Aerymian elves, the current consul of this planet."
Joseph awkwardly shook Vimm's hand with an awkward expression on his face. "I am a man..."
Vimm was stunned. "Err... Sorry, it seems that the elves of the two worlds have some differences in appearance. Gentlemen?"
Aylu's face suddenly turned green. "..."
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. "This is a girl... Forget it, it's not important. Let's go."
Aoi lowered her head to look at her chest, but she didn't see anything, so she continued: "…"
They walked past the eye-catching sculpture that Hao Ren was about to block. The newly built Royal District was just opposite the square. Although it was called the Royal District, it was actually just a residential and office area separated from the surrounding areas. Although the few towers had a magnificent royal style, the scale was not even as big as the few factories next to it. The materials used were also obviously recovered from those gray composite materials in the maritime cities.
The Aerymian elves were used to living frugally. Now that the city was in the early stages of construction, the most precious resources were the various engineering teams, and the most useful were the various factories. So, these two units received the highest priority in supplies, while the relatively "less useful" members of the royal family and their families could only live in the accelerated housing.
Aside from Hilda and Vimm, the Aerymian royal family had a large group of princes and princesses. These members currently lived in the Royal District. Those who knew management helped out, those who knew technology helped with research, and those who did not know anything or were temporarily useless went to work in the engineering team. The only difference between them and the civilians was that the place they lived in was called the Royal District. This was the style of the Aerymian royal family.
This was also why Hao Ren saw an elf in a high-ranking official uniform and a bearded man in a worker's uniform chatting with each other. They were father and son. The son was an important city management officer, while the father was originally the Chief Dispatcher of the Corona Station. Now that he had not been assigned a new position, he went to work as an excavator. The Aerymian elves did not think there was anything wrong with this: they prided themselves on letting useful people stay where they were needed.
Joseph and Aylu, on the other hand, were amazed. After listening to Vimm and Hao Ren's introduction of the Aerymian elves, the two elves from the other world were amazed. Although the elven societies they had lived in had different customs, they were all ancient dynasties with a strict hierarchy. Even the Astrals and the Halflings, who were the least concerned about the hierarchy, had never heard of such a thing. Little by little, their understanding of the Aerymian elves was established.
They came to the shabby reception room of the Royal District council hall. Hilda finally arrived shortly after.
"Long time no see, Mr. Landlord." Hilda was still glowing, and she seemed to be in good spirits. When she saw Hao Ren, she came up and gave him a warm hug. "I'm sorry, our place is still in the construction stage. Even if we entertain guests, we can only do it in such a shabby place."
Hao Ren was a little embarrassed by the wife-like hug. He hurriedly sat down and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We're family, don't mention it."
Hilda pushed a plate of snacks on the table to Hao Ren with a happy smile on her face. "Have something to eat. We found a wild root tuber plant that is rich in nutrients. It has successfully propagated under artificial conditions. Its growth cycle is very fast. This is the first result."
Lily had already grabbed the snack and stuffed it into her mouth. As she swallowed, she nodded and said, "Finally, you don't want to eat chalk?"
"This is the best era that all Aerymian elves have experienced," Hilda smiled. "The first crops germinated in the farms, the first ships sailed on the ocean, the first mines and the first set of smelting equipment, and a large number of technologies were recovered from the museums and archives. Every day is a memorable day, including today, Mr. Landlord, who came back to see his house for the first time."
Hao Ren was pleasantly surprised to find that Hilda, who used to give people the impression of a serious, rigid, and resolute queen, was finally cracking a joke today. He laughed and then put on a serious face. "Hilda, I'm not just here to visit you today. In fact, I need your help..."
Hilda saw Hao Ren's serious face and immediately became serious. "What's the situation? You are the benefactor of the Aerymian elves. As long as we can be of use, we will do our best to help you. "
"I'm afraid this is not a small matter." Hao Ren paused. "Simply put, I want to transport something from a certain world, and by the way, a group of immigrants similar to yours. Just like your Great Migration, but this time, I met with resistance."
"Because this is a private matter, I can't ask for help from my superiors. So, I need a group of armed escorts." Hao Ren spread out his hands. "A lot."
Hilda did not even think about it. "How many?"
"Anyway, a conservative estimate of the number of enemies is eight million."
The light on Hilda's body suddenly flickered as if it had a bad contact. "Huh?!! What did you say?! "
