Chapter 42 [New Religion]
[Today's two chapters have 10,000 words!]
`
That night, Lan Lan and Chen Daolin talked a lot, and finally said that they were tired, so they leaned against the wall of the tree house and fell asleep.
However, Chen Daolin didn't know how complicated it felt when he heard it. He tossed and turned, and it was not until the middle of the night that he finally fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, after Chen Daolin woke up, he saw that Lan Lan was no longer by his side. He quickly ran out of the tree house, searched around him for a while, and finally found Lan Lan on the lakeside.
It is still a long way from the camping place of the Tulip Caravan. Lan Lan sat there holding her knees by the lake, looking at the rising sun in the distance.
As soon as Chen Daolin walked behind her, Lan Lan heard the steps, and did not look back, and laughed in a low voice: "Look, isn't this sunrise very beautiful?"
After a pause, she whispered: "When I was in the northwest, I watched the sunrise of Loulan Lake with her, and it looked like this Dayuan Lake."
Chen Daolin felt sour in his heart. He glanced at the rising sun and couldn't help but say angrily: "What's so good about sunrise? I think it's just like a turtle slowly climbing up from the water."
"...Puchi!" Lan Lan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. She looked back at Chen Daolin and said with a smile: "Big, turtle? You, you just like to say these messy and weird words."
She looked at the sunrise again, watching the sun rise from the lake little by little: "Sure enough... I slowly climbed up from the water... The big turtle, hahahaha..."
Chen Daolin shook his head: "You are in a much better mood?"
Lan Lan had already stood up, patted the dust on her body, and said lightly: "The old things that have passed for several years have just evoked some memories last night. I have practiced hard for so many years and it is time to learn to control my mood."
Walking by Chen Daolin's side, Lan Lan whispered: "I went to the Tulips' caravan early in the morning... She seemed to have left."
"Leave?" Chen Daolin was stunned.
To be honest, I guessed last night that the successor of the Tulip Family might be in the caravan. Chen Daolin still hopes to meet her today - maybe he has to cheat her to relieve her hatred.
But he actually left?
"Well... Actually, she was separated from you by orcs that night. She saved me. After that, I stayed with her and found a caravan of the Tulip Family. She led me all the way here. Now that I have found you, she will leave. Speaking of which, this time she came to the Frozen Forest is the main thing of her own family. I am very grateful that she has been willing to waste so much time with me here."
Chen Daolin curled his lips, but what else can he do? Can he still openly be jealous of a woman?
Then Chen Daolin and Lanlan returned to the Elf Tribe together and started their own business: transaction.
Because there happened to be a caravan of the Tulip Family in this elf tribe, Ge Yan and his team lined up several carriages next to the campsite and displayed all the goods on the carriage, which attracted many elves in the tribe.
Chen Dao saw that the popularity was very high, so he simply squeezed over. He took advantage of Ge Yan and others' popularity and the goods he brought were spread on a piece of cloth and sold them.
Ge Yan didn't mind Chen Daolin's actions at all, but instead took the initiative to say hello to Chen Daolin. Chen Daolin naturally knew the other party's intentions, so he learned about the beginning and end of the deal with Ge Yan.
Finally, Chen Daolin chose the four golden wire fire diamonds. No matter what... this thing can be exchanged for money when brought back to reality, but the gold ticket of the Tulip family, if it is brought back to the real world, can only be used as toilet paper.
Chen Daolin was quite proud of four gold wire fire drills worth 100,000 gold coins. He thought this was a good omen and was quite optimistic about today's transaction.
But the result of one day disappointed Chen Daolin!
Among the things he brought this time, in addition to the last best-selling soap and shampoo, he also brought some perfume and other things.
But he was unlucky and encountered a caravan of the Tulip Family, and he also brought some soaps and shampoos produced by the Tulip Family workshop. Well, it was the "clear frost and snow liquid".
Although Chen Daolin's things are definitely more effective than the clear frost and snow liquid in the Tulip Family Workshop, the current product technology is much better.
But the problem is... the tulip family brand is louder than his!!
The Tulip Family Workshop is famous, and no one knows it? More importantly, the Tulip Family Caravan brings several large carts of things, soap shampoo and other things. In terms of the inventory of goods, it is far better than the hawker Chen Daolin.
There was a carriage full of people. Those elves might buy Chen Daolin’s things without a choice. But now, the authentic Tulip Family’s “clear frost and snow liquid” is placed in front of them. Who would buy Chen Daolin’s three-no products?
Chen Daolin wanted to dump it at a low price, but the problem was that Ge Yan gave him delicious food and drink, and even spent more than 100,000 gold coins to him. As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile, why would he have the nerve to engage in a price war in front of others to make trouble?
Besides...even if you really turn against each other, each caravan in the other party is Kong Wu, and you can poke him to death by just standing up.
And here I have only one Lanlan... And Lanlan may not be willing to turn against the Tulip family.
I don’t have enough confidence, how dare I go to war with the other party rashly?
As a result, the last best-selling soap and shampoo were extremely dismal under the impact of the Geyan caravan.
The goods prepared by Chen Daolin also suffered a heavy blow.
He originally thought that the elves were all beautiful races, so he prepared some perfume and other products.
But today I really took it out and found that these elves were simply disdainful of the perfume they brought.
Why?
If something like shampoo and soap is involved in the washing function, perhaps the elf may not be able to get it out.
But how difficult is perfume for elves?
You should know that the elves are the sons of nature and the race closest to nature! Especially these vegetation and tree elves are known to be able to control plants’ higher life!
The perfumes made by craftsmanship now, and what are the essences of pure natural plants...
Joke! Can plant essence be compared with the pure nature of the elves, no matter how modern craftsmanship is used to make it better than the pure nature of the elves?
The elves have their own unique craftsmanship to extract natural spices and fragrances from various plants, which is much easier to use than the counterfeit brand perfumes brought by Chen Daolin!
As for the perfume, he brought several glass mirrors, but was ridiculed by the elves.
Even when Ge Yan came over and wandered around, he couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, I'll say, if the glass mirrors were just a rare thing when the elves had just quit with us a hundred years ago, they would have been rare for them, but now... in the past hundred years, the various glassware produced by our Roland people, let alone the elves, are already filled with the barbaric dwarves. Our tulip family caravan has not done glass business for more than ten years."
Chen Daolin blushed when he heard this, but he sighed in his heart: It must be the first duke of the Tulip Family again! Alas, that guy is a time traveler. God knows that he has already made something. This has blocked the way for latecomers like me...
After repeated setbacks, Chen Daolin was disappointed, but he quickly cheered up. After all, he had the confidence in his heart. As long as he had the magic weapon of the Time Travel Gate in hand, would he be afraid that there would be no chance in the future?
Besides, Chen Daolin's original temperament was optimistic and simple to say, but to put it bluntly, he was lazy to say. He just sighed for a while, then he regained his energy and focused his attention on observing the group of people in Geyan's business.
After all, Geyan and others are caravans who have been walking in this frozen forest all year round. Let’s see what they sell and sell more popular things - this kind of experience that can be learned without paying tuition, how can Chen Daolin not take advantage of it?
(When I see it clearly, I will return to reality and make a lot of purchases, then put it in a magic storage bag, and come back, and you can pile up with a huge amount of goods to death!)
Chen Daolin looked at it all day and secretly recorded the popular goods brought by Ge Yan and others. For example, cloth and a kind of silk are very popular with elves. Although the elves are close to nature, they don’t mind using some special plant leaves to weave clothes. But the characteristics of this race’s pursuit of beauty have been deeply rooted in the blood. The colorful fabrics and satin produced by humans are so beautiful that the elves can’t let go of them.
I heard that the Tulip family had many large textile workshops within the Roland Empire - Chen Daolin felt a stern heart when he heard this news!
He has at least learned some history. When the textile industry reached a certain level, large-scale textile factories appeared, a large number of handicraftsmen appeared, and breakthroughs in textile technology... All of this will bring a signal!
Signals of world change!
How many iconic events of the famous industrial revolution are? One of them is the Jenny Textile Machine!
That... the first Duke Traveler of the Tulip Family has actually achieved this?
Damn... I wonder if he has tinkered with the steam engine!!
In addition to these fabrics and satin, some of the other ones that are popular among the elves are nothing more than tea and some...
"Music instrument?" Chen Daolin watched Ge Yan's subordinates open the boxes in the carriage, and the things he brought out made Chen Daolin stunned.
Although he doesn't recognize some things, he can barely recognize some of them.
"Harp? Organ? Recorder? That's... the flute? Huh? This isn't a guqin, right?!"
This Geyan... actually sells musical instruments from afar?
But what shocked Chen Daolin even more was that these instruments were more popular among the elves! Even more ecstatic than shampoo, soap, cloth, etc.
"These elves are born to pursue beauty and art and beauty." Lan Lan whispered behind Chen Daolin: "They love life and love all the beautiful things in life. Music is of course an important art. Elfs love art. Almost every elves can sing and dance and like to play musical instruments. These things... cannot be sold much in the Roland Empire, but when transported here, these elves are willing to buy them with a lot of money."
Sure enough, in less than a moment, the instruments were swept away.
Almost all the goods on Geyan's carriage have been moved, but there are many new things replaced.
Geyan’s business is different from Chen Daolin. What Brother Daling wants is cash, preferably hard currency such as gold and gems. But in addition to collecting gold and gems or magic cores, Geyan is also willing to exchange for some specialties from the elves.
For example, a specialty of the elves, plant fruits, are ground into powder after drying them. It is said that this kind of thing is a very precious potion for transport to the Roland Empire and is very popular with magicians.
There are also some spices made by the secret techniques of the elves, which are also loved by some nobles and wealthy ladies in the Roland Empire.
In short, on this day, the things on Geyan's carriage were moved in and out. By the evening, the people of the Tulip family were so tired that they could hardly stand.
Such a hot business naturally made Chen Daolin drool.
He also made a secret decision in his heart: Since he had figured out the trick this time, he would definitely make a fortune next time.
Although the recovery this time is far lower than his expectations, the wealth worth 100,000 gold coins from Ge Yan is enough to make Chen Daolin wake up when he sleeps. What surprised Chen Daolin even more was that although the elves did not like the perfumes he brought, Ge Yan was quite interested after seeing it. After the two sides discussed a price, Chen Daolin simply sold all the perfumes he brought to Ge Yan.
But as for the glass mirror... it's really thrown away and no one wants it.
Ge Yan warmly invited Chen Daolin and Lanlan to have dinner together, and ate a "vegetarian meal" of the specialty of the elves by the bonfire. Then everyone dispersed.
The next morning, Chen Daolin and Lanlan woke up shortly after they woke up, and someone shouted under the tree, but they were from a Tulip family under Ge Yan.
Chen Daolin and Lanlan went to see Ge Yan, and Ge Yan said bluntly: "We have sold out the goods we brought this time yesterday, and we are going to set off today."
He looked at Lanlan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Before the Lord left, we will ask us to take care of Miss Lanlan. If you have any instructions..."
Lan Lan seemed to be stunned for a moment, but did not answer, but looked at Chen Daolin: "Where are you? Are you still going to stay here?"
Chen Daolin was stunned. He wanted to say that his work was done, and there was no need to stay in this elf tribe for the time being. It was indeed time to leave. But...
I haven't seen the elf girl Barossa these two days, and I feel a little worried.
But this is naturally not easy to say in front of Lan Lan, and said, "I have nothing else to do..."
"Then let's go back together. Everyone can take care of you all the way." Lanlan immediately said to Ge Yan: "When you set off, we will set off together."
Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment and looked at Lan Lan: "This, are you leaving now? Where to go?"
Lanlan's tone was a little strange: "Of course I'm going home, back to the Roland Empire. But you asked so strangely."
Ge Yan frowned, looked at Lan Lan, and whispered: "Miss Lan Lan... That, what happened between you and Your Excellency Darling... seems to be not very good, right? If the temple knows about you, I'm afraid..."
Lan Lan said lightly: "Since I dare to do this, I have already cut off my thoughts about the temple. From now on, I will be me, so I don't need to mention the matters of the temple."
After a pause, she whispered: "As for the pursuit of the temple... the empire is so big, Darling and I are together. I will find a place to live in. The people of the church may not be able to find us."
She sighed softly and said, "I have been practicing hard in this frozen forest for three years. I have really stayed in this place."
After saying that, Lan Lan looked back at Chen Daolin, her eyes looked a little gentle, and she whispered: "Let's go back together, are you okay?"
When Chen Daolin was dawn, how could he say the word "no"?
He nodded immediately, but comforted himself: It would be no bad idea to go to the Roland Empire to see. Well... If you walk along the shore of Dayuan Lake, when passing through the passage door, just find an opportunity to carry them on your back and put the door in a magic storage bag and take it with you... If you don't have a chance, it's okay. At worst, you can go to the Roland Empire and come back. In short... Lan Lan asked me this, how could I disappoint her?
"Okay! Then please ask the two of you to go back and prepare. We will go on the way after lunch." Ge Yan made a decision immediately.
Chen Daolin and Lanlan returned to their tree house to pack up their things.
Lan Lan looked at Chen Daolin as if she was a little absent-minded, and suddenly laughed and said, "Do you have any worries?"
Chen Daolin forced a smile: "Where is it?"
Lan Lan stood in front of Chen Daolin, looked at Chen Daolin's eyes, suddenly smiled, and slowly said, "You are thinking about that elf girl, right?"
"!!!"
Chen Daolin immediately widened his eyes and stared at Lanlan nervously.
Lan Lan shook her head, with a smile on her face and said, "On the day you came back, you were obviously standing side by side with an elf girl, and you looked very close to her... At that time, I was standing on the treetops, but I saw it."
See? Then why didn’t you say it earlier?
Chen Daolin had a fever on his face and felt guilty and dared not look at Lanlan's eyes.
Lan Lan sighed softly, put away her smile, and the expression on her face seemed a little complicated. A special look flashed in her eyes and she whispered: "You, you don't have to hide it from me. Darling, you are already very nice to me, so you don't have to be so wronged. If you like that elf girl very much, go find her."
Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "This... you are really wrong... That girl, I'm afraid she has been disappointed with me. Even if I go to find her now, it's useless."
After a pause, he looked at Lanlan and whispered: "Besides, I promised to accompany you back to the Roland Empire."
Lan Lan's eyes were a little moved, then she immediately turned her head and forced a smile: "Idiot, why are you doing so well to me? You know, what I love in my heart is someone else. I, I like women."
Chen Daolin touched his nose and whispered: "This is really a problem that makes me helpless. If I have other ways to solve it, money, power, etc., no matter how big the gap is, there will always be hope for hard work. But I am a man and want to become a woman, but I can't... I can't really give myself a knife..."
Speaking of the last sentence, both of them thought this matter was too ridiculous, and they couldn't help but look at each other and laughed out at the same time.
After laughing for a while, Lan Lan suddenly said, "I have another problem."
"What?"
"Since I have lost my virginity to you, although it is my own choice and my own thoughts." Lan Lan shook her head and said, "But after all, I have lost my chastity and can't go back to the temple. I have been betrayed my religion, and this year I am no longer a believer in the church of light. But since I was born, I have believed in this religion, and only then will I have some support in my heart. Now that I have betrayed my previous faith, my heart is always empty. Darling, I ask you, what religion do you believe in? If you believe in other religions, I will simply change my faith and follow you to believe in your teachings. How about it?"
"Me?" Chen Daolin was stunned.
Believe in religion? This...
He looked at Lan Lan: "Do you have to believe in a religion? Is atheism not possible?"
"How can it be?" Lan Lan widened her eyes: "There is naturally a god in this world! There were miracles displayed in the era when the first Duke of Tulips were located! Although the Church of the Temple of Light is the largest religion on the mainland, with the relaxation of the divine power in recent years, all kinds of new religions on the mainland have emerged. I just want to seek a spiritual sustenance and a religious belief to make myself feel at ease."
"That's how it is."
Chen Daolin thought about it, then suddenly slapped his head and there was a thing!
He turned around, touched his magic leather bag for a long time, and finally found a large scroll to unfold it.
This is a statue of the New Year painting. To be honest... This thing was given to him by the merchant after Chen Daolin purchased a lot of supplies. It is said that it was sold left over during the New Year, so now it is just used as wrapping paper.
Chen Daolin saw this portrait as lifelike, so he simply put it in his bag as a souvenir - of course, if necessary, he could tear it as toilet paper.
He hung the New Year painting on the wall, then took two steps back, took out three cigarettes to light it, squeezed it in his hand, and bowed deeply to the portrait like burning incense.
Then he took a step back and pulled Lan Lan over: "Come here and give a salute! This is the religion I believe in!"
"What is this?" Lan Lan looked at the statue in amazement.
Above the New Year pictures, a majestic general, holding a long sword in his hand, his face was like a heavy date, his lying eyebrows, his beard fluttering, and he was wearing a green hat on his head...
"This is the god I believe in!" Chen Daolin said loudly:
"By the second brother Guan..."
