It took a while to explain the experience as concisely as possible, and the shocking effect far beyond the moment when Nidhogg came to the village was displayed in the village in the form of deathly silence.
[Killed 500 cavalry in the blink of an eye], [The nobleman acknowledged by the black dragon to serve], [Expert in business, alchemy, and negotiation] - if the above statements come from others, they will only be regarded as bragging or rumors by the elves, but in front of them is
Everyone knew that this girl would not lie because of Brunhil's personal testimony, and the Dragon Clan's acquiescence was a vocal confirmation. There was already a lot to worry about in terms of credibility, and the old patriarch had to consider the impact of this unheard of situation.
and how to choose.
As the patriarch, every decision made by Emil will have varying degrees of impact on the village. This decision is undoubtedly the one with the highest impact. It can be the kind of decision that can determine the life or death of the whole village. Making such a decision requires sufficient thinking.
Time to weigh it up.
However... time is not limited, and there is even less for Emir to spend.
"Miss Brunhil, I don't want to disturb you. But I have to remind you that the adult has been waiting for a long time."[
Nidhogg's tone is the reserved style unique to dragons when speaking to other races. His speaking speed is unhurried and unhurried, and his posture is full of luxury. There are no problems with the words and sentences on the surface, and the main content is uncompromising.
Unmistakable impatience and dissatisfaction.
Waves of dizzy and uncomfortable sensations were felt on his forehead, and the future that Emil foresaw seemed to be even bleaker. It was still unclear what kind of character the adult he had never met had, but this noble dragon here was obviously not easy to fool.
He opened his mouth to say something to appease the black dragon's dissatisfaction. Tire and Thor, who had been summoned back by the horn, squeezed through the crowd and came to the Emir. They looked awkward and weird and recounted what happened at the outpost outside the valley. Compare
The embarrassing part was stated without any concealment.
The cracks carved by time on the patriarch's face are almost squeezed together at this moment. I'm afraid that guy has even calculated this little trick to delay time, and doesn't give him any time to play tricks - not like this!!!
!!
After all, the old man who led the village through many difficulties was eaten to death by a young man he had never even met!
He just wanted to yell a few times or cry loudly to vent his inner grief and anger, but the eyes of many tribesmen were focused around his body. The black dragon was staring down at him, and the coldness in his eyes burned the old tribe leader's nerves.
.
Comparatively imagine the situation of the Count and Archbishop of Agentolaton, the Emir patriarch may not be so frustrated and angry. In any case, the two lost 500 elite cavalry and gained in one go. Knowing that tragic
After hearing the news, I am afraid that even the energy to cry has been exhausted.
No matter how reluctant he was, his gray lips finally made the decision that best suited the situation.
"Let's go greet the guests."
The moment the unintentional words were spoken, the elves who breathed a sigh of relief failed to notice that Emil hid his right hand under his long linen sleeve, and the hand that was shaking in humiliation and anger clenched it into a fist, trying his best to restrain himself.
Muscle tremors.

"Uh...so you are the...that...um..."
"Li Lin. Siegfried Li Lin. Emir of the Elf Clan in the Niflheim Valley. I have heard about your reputation from Miss Brunhil. I can see someone with such wisdom and rich experience.
It’s my honor to be the elder.”
"Li Lin...Mr."
He looked the young man in front of him up and down, and after careful consideration, he added the honorific. No matter how displeased the other party was, or whether the two parties were actually performing at the moment, since the other party had already bowed and saluted, and his attitude and tone were full of sincerity, the minimum
The response is still indispensable.
He bowed his lower body slightly in return, and continued in a calm tone that showed no emotion.
"Thank you for your timely assistance to Brunhil. We are very grateful for your righteous deed."
"Your compliments really make me ashamed. I was just involved in the situation, and I can't say that I helped. In addition, Miss Brunhil's excellent adaptability and strong will were also used in solving this unpleasant incident."
Played an important role. To be honest, there are not many women who can support themselves in that kind of crisis, which I admire very much."
Ordinary people, or those who are in awe of the Mother Goddess Mafa and those who are devout, will definitely praise the Mother Goddess for her care and miracles at the beginning of the words. At the end of the words, thank the Mother Goddess for her
Almighty and Merciful.[
Li Lin, who never mentioned the Mother Goddess from beginning to end, can be classified as an alien, and he is an extreme alien with divine eyes.
【Arrogant little guy.】
The old patriarch, who was not a devout believer but simply couldn't stand it, did not miss this inconspicuous but rather frowning detail. He raised his eyebrows in displeasure and added a new derogatory comment to Li Lin.
On the way to Niflheim, Brunhil had learned a lesson from Li Lin's irreverent style, and gave him kind advice on his lack of faith. However, Li Lin had no intention of changing at all -
It is too difficult for a materialist who has a negative attitude towards gods to develop devout faith. In addition, the solution to the monotheistic religion that is widely believed in, including elves, has been roughly outlined. What he wants is for religion to serve that plan.
, rather than being influenced or even manipulated by religion. Therefore, there is no room for compromise on the position on this issue, and there is no need to get entangled.
"Mr. Li Lin."
The honorific title once again caused cramps in the stomach. He suppressed the sour taste and vomiting in his throat. Maintaining the dignity that a patriarch should have, Emil spoke again:
"I think you should have learned about the current situation of our village from my granddaughter, right?"
"If it's just a general concept, it's almost there. But without on-site inspections to obtain further detailed certification, it still can't be considered a level of [understanding]."
Following the probing words, the corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper. The old patriarch's train of thought was too obvious, and he was just waiting for the [trap].
"It's really unspeakable. We really don't have anything we can use to reward you at the moment... In addition... uh, Brunhil mentioned that in addition to your superb attainments in alchemy, you have other knowledge.
He is also very knowledgeable. I am extremely ashamed. I would like to ask you to help us solve some problems, can you?"
Looking directly at Emil's gentle and kind smile and the teasing eyes of the harsh interview supervisor at the job fair, a timid and wavering smile flashed past, and the other person's secretly amused look was also captured by his red eyes.
"This is an obligatory matter. There is no need to be so polite. If there is anything I can do to help, please just ask and I will do my best."
"Oh...really? It's really great."
The elated joy needs to be suppressed, and an unconcealed expression emerges. The old patriarch stroked his silver beard that hung down to his waist, and his smile was quite amusing.
The kind smile kept slipping into a sneer because of the twitching of the corners of the mouth, and the slits of the eyelids shot out a burning gaze - this kind of unnatural appearance is really rare. The elves standing behind the old patriarch were able to see this ferocious smile because of their position.
It's such a pity.
The relative compensation was that because of their position, they also saw the appearance of a foreign boy full of vigor and confidence - Li Lin's confident smile, as if he could overcome all difficulties in the world, brought a refreshing breeze to the elves.
Everyone still didn’t quite believe in this (suspected) human boy, but except for a few, the simple elves had a good first impression of the heretical boy with black hair and red eyes. Compared with the [armored beast] who had done all the bad things in their impressions,
In comparison, Li Lin, who speaks kindly and treats others politely, is at least more approachable.
But the vigilance of the elves will not stop there, and the possibility that Li Lin is a fraudster or a spy cannot be ignored. In the following days, [Care] will accompany this strange boy, and every move will be reported to the Emir.
Clan leader.
The right move - act as Patriarch Emir expected and Li Lin planned. It is great that no one is dissatisfied, which is gratifying and gratifying.
In the pleasant atmosphere of conversation, a few slightly unsociable people are always so abrupt.
Brunhil's eyebrows slightly twisted and then relaxed, and his uneasy face with a suppressed smile faced the back of the patriarch; Tier stared at Li Lin closely, his thoughtfulness and doubts leaving almost no trace of expression on his resolute face.
A aware smile. Vali, who was standing next to Li Lin, lowered his head as usual, and the shadow of his hood blocked his sarcastic sneer. It was a good thing that Nidhogg, who was far away, was not noticed, otherwise the corners of his mouth would be grinned, revealing a sharp edge.
The toothy sneer will frighten many women and children present.
Except for these few misfits, no one believes that Li Lin has the ability to solve the problems in the Elf Village.[
He is too young, which is an advantage and a source of distrust.
The characteristic of young people is that they are passionate and impulsive. The opposite is that their impulses come and go quickly, and they lack the patience and toughness that older people have honed. The popular saying is "people come crazy".
The boiling adrenaline gives that age the courage and explosive power to move forward, prompting young people to often accomplish some unimaginable feats. The accompanying side effects - the lack of calm thinking and overall concept often make the feats become absurd and foolish in the end.
Created a lot of jokes.
Most of the older children in adolescence are the same: passionate, rebellious, impetuous, sensitive, and have excessive self-esteem. They believe that the world is at their feet, and they will be able to achieve something and achieve their dreams with their own strength. Time will slowly pass.
After polishing off their edges, these former young people will eventually discover that their past actions turned out to be so childish and ridiculous.
The black-haired boy would also suffer setbacks, not somewhere else, not at another time, but in the Niflheim Valley, soon.
It's not a bad thing, too smooth sailing experience will not lead to true excellence. - Most elves hold this view of just watching the excitement.
An outsider. Even if he had helped Brynhild, the label of [outsider] would not be easily removed. The xenophobic instinct of the elves who have suffered too much from other races is functioning as a self-protection function, even though they know what happened.
Looking back on things, the balance in my heart will still be biased towards the old patriarch of [his own people].
It is not difficult to grasp the mentality of the people who are watching the soy sauce. There is room for discussion whether this mentality belongs to the category of maliciousness or goodwill. The current focus is not on the discussion of morality. Li Lin only needs them to watch.
The stage and props are full of thorns and obstacles, the villains who are preparing for difficult problems, the supporting roles who have each stepped into the role, grasp the rhythm of the performance, and the protagonist who occupies the central position - the director who is also the script writer is all ready, but if there is no onlookers,
No matter how exciting the drama is, it is just cheap self-directed, self-acted and self-admired.
Li Lin needs an audience, and the audience also needs a little entertainment to add some excitement to the boring life. As for the old patriarch, he just wants to get rid of this young man as soon as possible.
Everyone gets what they need and everyone is satisfied.
"Welcome to Niflheim, visitor from afar."
Nodding with satisfaction, the Emir patriarch bowed and saluted, slowly raised his right hand, and made a "please come in" gesture towards the entrance of the deep valley where the milky white fog had faded, revealing a majestic outline.
The elf village, a stage unknown to the outside world, has opened its curtain to Li Lin, and the black-haired protagonist appears with a signature smile.
