Chapter 242: Living conditions
The conversation between Wim and Hill has made the people behind the car feel a little confused, but basically can understand that the accident of the previous space-time accelerator has had a certain impact on the foundation of this fragile society. Now there is a lot in the society of Arim. problem. However, these are the chores of others. As a group of outsiders, Hao Ren will not rush to ask questions.
The speed of the levitation car was extremely fast. It took a long time to reach the center of the Sunburst Island. After passing through an extra energy barrier and crossing the high wall, the towering spires of the Arim Royal District appeared in front of the vehicle. Fly to one of the towers that looks no different from the surrounding, and land smoothly on an extended semi-circular platform in the upper part of the tower. Hillie personally opened the door for everyone: "This is my home."
Lily curiously looked at the massive spire, and muttered: "Oh, it looks great."
Hilli smiled reluctantly: "The minimum living space is not lacking."
At this time, there were already several servant-like Erim elves rushing up from the other end of the platform. Seeing the missing queen for many days seemed to make these servants quite excited. Each of them had a heartfelt joy on their faces. And the sense of peace of mind, it can be seen that the people who Hill is here are really genuine. Hill and Wim explained some things to these servants, and then introduced Hao Ren and his entourage to these people: "They are VIPs, arrange rooms for them and take good care of them."
"I am going to hold an emergency Presbyterian meeting," Hill said again. "I am sorry that I will put you aside when I get home, but it seems that there have been some urgent events in my kingdom."
Lily replied with a sigh: "Nothing is ok, we can do it ourselves. Can I talk around?"
"Please feel free." Hill smiled and nodded, then took the ambulance with Wim and left in a hurry.
A slender and young female elf came forward and signaled that Hao Ren was behind her: "Please allow me to take you to the room."
Under the leadership of the Elf servant, everyone walked into the spire and walked through the long, monotonous corridors and a series of elegant and simple arches to the place specially prepared for the guests. Along the way they met a lot of curious elves. The staff of these palaces stopped to look at the new guests who were strangely dressed, but the onlookers who dissipated the young elves who led the way quickly dissipated.
"Sorry, this is really a royal system. They are just too curious," the young elf apologized and nodded to Hao Ren.
After passing through a lifting device to the middle of the minaret. They were taken to an oval hall with a circle around the hall, which is a room area specially prepared for VIPs. The entire hall and all the surrounding rooms are assigned to these guests, so you can use them at will. The young elf said goodbye to everyone in front of the lift: "Guests are here to rest, food is already in the cupboard at the end of the hall, and the formal dinner will be served in the evening. If necessary, press the green pager in the room. Or look directly at the Royal Guard in the lift."
Hao Ren repeatedly nodded and said that he understood very well. After sending the elf girl, he was left with only a bunch of friends. Lily was already stunned by the serious "royal atmosphere" here in the middle of the road. At this time, when the outsiders had already left, they happily screamed around Hao Ren for several times. Then began to flow in the various rooms. Vivian was stretched out: "After all, it’s the queen, the place to live is great!"
"That is, people's resources are nervous, but after all, they still maintain a normal life." Hao Ren said as curiously as he walked in a few rooms with Lily, he found that even the VIP room was actually furnished. Very simple, it is a daily furniture that can be seen at a glance of usage and function. Table and chair beds are obviously products of large-scale industrial production. The single style and lack of detail decoration are enough to show that they are from some kind of Manufactured on a low-cost assembly line. This is a remarkable feature of a resource-intensive, living society: social rulers may have more quotas than others, but they still use the same things as others, and all social resources come cheap and fast. Industrial assembly line. Special manual manufacturing processes and fine-grained processes have been completely eliminated.
However, Hill's Queen status still has something special here: some ornamental plants can be seen in the hall and in each room. These thriving green bonsais make the monotonous rooms somewhat angry. The Erim Elf is a race that comes out of the forest and they have an indescribable feeling for plants. Although they have to shut themselves down in efficient industrial machines today, they will try to add a little green to the place where they live, if there is a way. Previously, the guardian of Hill's Guardian also showed that the traditional skills of the Erim Elves are inseparable from the plants – but it is estimated that this “luxury” traditional technique can only be preserved in the royal family and the nobility: the ecological dome is limited.
One of the oval halls is a lift, and the other is a huge round floor-to-ceiling window. From this angle, it overlooks a large city. Hao Ren stands at the window and looks at the strange world scenery outside, watching the dome above the city. Sprinkle the filtered sun and watch the gray-white city below being gradually plated with gold, watching the small aircraft flying through the setting sun. Vivian didn't know when he came to him: "Don't consider the bad situation here. Actually the scenery is quite good."
Hao Ren nodded and did not speak. He is recollecting what is said in the employee handbook and trying to examine the whole thing with a reviewer's attitude: he has been carefully observing every detail of the Erim spirit society since he landed on the floating island. Learn about this civilization and their status quo from their urban identity and each person's words and deeds as an outsider. Moreover, it is a foreigner who has a world view and a race that is different from the locals. It is difficult to make these judgments, but this observation is a compulsory course for the examiner. He looked at the scenery outside and silenced for a while before raising his hand to poke the data terminal in his pocket: "Give a suggestion."
“There is no suggestion. From now on, this will be handled by a reviewer’s standard process,” the data terminal responded. “I only give you a hint: The Raven Chief said that you are 'full authority', I hope you can understand What she means. This machine hopes that you can solve this problem with your own ability. Don't call the goddess to support or call other superiors, build your own power and contacts, and solve all problems. This is a qualified review. The ability of the officer should have the ability to act. The upper limit of the action is that it cannot interfere with other civilizations. Under no circumstances can you help a civilization with your preference at the expense of another civilization. You cannot have a point at this point. Personal likes and dislikes."
Hao Renheheyi: "The last thing you don't have to worry about, I know who I am, I don't want to find anyone."
Lily quickly circled around all the rooms. At this time, she began to feel hungry according to her unwavering biological clock. She remembered that the elf maid had talked about the food cabinet and rushed to find it. Eat, and then squirt a few small rectangular boxes from a metal cabinet not far away: "This is what you eat? Look at the strange..."
She threw the small boxes on the table, and Hao Ren saw some strange...synthetics in these boxes. They are mostly yellow or green square bars, about the length of a finger, and they feel a little loose. Lily curiously threw one in her mouth and chewed a few times and frowned. "Nothing." Wow! There is a little salty taste... just like the chalk head that sprinkled salt!"
"Have you ever eaten chalk?" Vivian looked at her.
Lily was not embarrassed at all: "I have eaten it. When I saw the chalk for the first time, I took a bite when I was curious. The taste is still fresh."
This girl inherited the fine traditions of her own family from her aunt, that is, no matter what you see, you will take a bite and taste the salty taste.
These Lily, who had a taste of chalk and a synthetic food, didn't like it, so she found another food: it was a paste filled in a cylinder that looked like cream and smelled a bit. Sweet, Lily, holding a big expectation, digging a little bit into her mouth with her fingers. As a result, the first tail of the belly was “squeaky” and fluffed loosely: “Organic oil!”
The data terminal floated out of Hao Ren's pocket and checked out those things: "It's all chemical products that provide the energy necessary for carbon-based organisms, but don't expect the taste and taste. Adding special flavors and tastes requires more complex production lines. This is a waste." (To be continued)
