~: Don’t look at the number of words (2/2)

Occasionally, there will be two or a few lions and beasts (usually male, the two brothers are the most typical combination) teamed up to hunt together. This situation continues until one of them finds a partner and will stop, so it may be only a short period of time, but it may last a lifetime (poor bachelor party...). Unlike cautious couples, these bachelor partners are more careless and more likely to be seen. Given the loyalty of each other, they may reunite in any situation even after separation.

[domestic]

Unlike other predators, there is very little fighting between the lions and beasts. Males are also always careful to protect females, even if they are not spouses. Strong loyalty and honor make the Lions the best comrades who are better than horses or other flying mounts. The lion's beast is alive and suitable for fighting, brave and fearless. But training a lion beast is not as easy as training a horse. The horses are very docile and have a sense of security and identity when they are with each other. However, the lion beast is independent and stubborn, and is not willing to cooperate with others. At the same time, it needs a lot of space to move. Once trapped in a cage, it will refuse to eat, and no one will be stupid enough to whip a proud and powerful lion beast. It’s really difficult to do what the lion and the beast are doing.

In fact, getting a lion beast is quite difficult. It is much harder to domesticate a large chick than most people think. The chicks must be in less than three months old and the first feathers are not trained before they begin to be trained. If it is late, it is 10% likely that it will not accept the new “family”. If it is still abused, the feeling of disapproval may increase by 20% every month (captivity is considered as abusive behavior).

In order to fully utilize its abilities, domestication of young birds certainly includes hunting training. Outdoor training is a course for both riders and lions and beasts. Although flying is the instinct of the lion and beast, the chicks still need patience to start flying. During the training process, you must also teach the special skills it should have in the adventure, such as dropping an bomb or grabbing an item on the ground.

But a rider won't be as fast as a lion's beast. He has to practice for at least 11 to 16 weeks, using animal talk or similar spells to shorten the adaptation process by 2 to 5 weeks. Not smart enough, sitting unsteady can also be tied to the lion beast as a baggage, or fly by it. The lion beast can bring up something that is equal to his own weight, but of course it won't be too long. The items below 300 pounds are considered light loads, 300 to 600 pounds are considered medium loads, and 600 to 900 pounds are a heavy burden. Its claws are sharp and pointed, which can hold the object, but it can also damage the object. Trained lions and beasts can also remove the entire iron gate or a long fence. There are often many ups and downs in the flight of the lions and beasts. It is not uncommon for a bearer with poor endurance to faint.

Fortunately, the adventurer happened to rescue the lion beast trapped in a trap or healed its wounds. If you can be considered a member, this lion beast will be willing to contribute to the adventure team. Because usually only adult lions and beasts are encountered in this case, flying and hunting training are not necessary.

Treating a lion beast can't be treated like a horse. It is intolerable to close the cage, pick it up, brand it, set the halter, and tie the reins. A trained horse will follow verbal commands and gestures. A lion beast is smarter and can understand more complicated instructions. The saddle is not suitable for the lion beast. The saddle designed for the lion beast must take into account its wings and must not impede flight. The saddle is usually placed before or after the wings. Sitting behind the wings may be more comfortable, but the rider's poor vision is not conducive to combat. The side sitting saddle is not considered at all. If the saddle is made of horse skin, it may be eaten immediately. Decorations are rarely used because they reduce flight speed and reduce maneuverability. Simple and lightweight head and neck armor and breastplate are available, but they weigh less than one rider's weight.

As a mount, the difference between a lion's beast and a horse is not limited to the above points. The lion beast will not be shocked by hare, birds or shadows, but the horse will not chase rabbits, wild deer or other horses because of hunger, and the horse will not be angry with the dissatisfaction of the rider. He gave it to him. The lion beast is brave, but violent; loyal, but willful. The male lion beast is not only stronger and stronger than the female body, but also more calm and patient. Unfortunately, having a lion beast mount can cause other troubles. For example, a knight who rides a lion and a beast all year round will inevitably get the smell of it. When you want to change horses, how can the horse smell the smell of its most terrible natural enemies? Also, after the trip, the heroes rested in the city, and the horses could be placed in the stables, but where should their loyal lions and beasts go? Residents in the city will believe that this big guy does not hurt people? The image of any horse is enough to make it crazy. Even in the wild, when the owner eats the schnitzel, his/her baby lion beast will not be honest.

The appetite of the lion beast is not small. When you are not flying, you should eat 25 to 30 pounds of fresh meat a day, and increase by half or double during the flight, depending on the weight of the flight. The hungry lion beast is quite dangerous. It won't eat its own loyal master, but others won't be so lucky. Traveling with a companion who has a lion beast as a pet must have great courage or an absolute adequate food reserve. It has been mentioned in the Chronicles of Dragon Gun that only the Elf nobles will raise lions and beasts as mounts. This is indeed without reason.

【wealth】

The role that the lion beast often plays is to punish the human beings who are greedy for money. If there are precious gems in the plains with high cliffs, those who collect these shining gems regardless of their danger will inevitably be punished. Because the lion's beast's nest is often built on those high cliffs, their sharp eyes will not miss a thief, and the claws will not let go of a thief. But because the lions and beasts like bright things, sometimes they are thieves themselves, and many gems are often found in their nests, and there are bottles of pharmacy. However, most of these bottles will not be complete, because the lion beast loves to fly to the sky to throw it down, just to hear the cracking of the glass when it hits the stone. Fur, clothing, and leather products are generally torn apart by claws. Magic scrolls and magic books will be the same if they are not specially protected. Only solid metal products survived.

【other】

The language of the lion beast is like a synthesis of screams and roars, including many descriptions of flying, hunting, weather, and the shape of things. The lion beast will swim like a tiger, but the feathers must be dried before flying. Because nature is neat and tidy, the lion beast will always spend some time bathing in the day, and will never let the rider reduce this fun.

The lion's beast has a long life and may live for centuries. 150 years is the average natural life of a wild lion beast

Elf

The origin of the elves is like this in Norse mythology: after the great **** Odin killed the giant Imir, the elf was born from the body of the giant, and absorbed the essence of the giant, becoming a spiritual creature, in which the corpse was born to the light. Or the light elf, the dark side is born on the back. The bright elves are bright, bright and beautiful. They usually have a good temperament, cheerful and enthusiastic, and can communicate with trees, flowers and birds, so the gods regard them as friends of God. According to the legend of Iceland, there is another saying about their origin:

One day, Eve flushed the child by the river, and God came to her. She hid the unwashed child. God asked if all the children were in front of them, and Eve acquiesced. God listened with great anger: ”Hidden children will be hidden in front of people and can no longer live in humans.” Then the children were turned into elves.

In many places, people think that the elf is a fallen angel; or after some pagans die, their good deeds are not enough to make him rise to heaven, but their sins are not full enough to be in hell, so they settled in two The central kingdom between the two becomes an elf.

Among various legends, the characteristics of the elves can be summarized as follows: long life (some even think that they are immortal), noble and elegant, smart and beautiful, almost integrated with nature, good at using magic and bows Living in the forest, forming a relatively loose kingdom, equal and friendly to each other. Elves are usually disorderly and kind, they are hostile to evil races, and they can be friendly with good races (may be slightly dissatisfied with rude dwarfs).

The typical image of the elf is tall and thin, wearing a solid robes, and the mage who is calm and unsmiling, often has a few hundred years old; the young and beautiful elves are mostly archers in the forest, they are born Warriors and shooters fight against evil to protect nature.

Orome, one of the Vatican, once hunted in the middle ground and occasionally heard the song of the elf. He hurried back to report to other gods. For the safety of the elves, Vaula launched a war against Molke, and finally defeated the Dark Lord many years later and imprisoned him. After the war, Vara summoned the elves to live in the blessing of Aman (the Blessed Realm) to better protect them; but only a few elves were called. They are divided into three major races: Vanya, the beautiful elf (Vanyar, the FairElves), the leader is the most distinguished Ingwe of all elf races; Nordo, the Noldor (theDeepElves), the leader is the wise Fen Finwe; the latest arrival, the largest number is the Teleri, the Sea-elves, the leader is Elvir Singollo and Olwe. These three races are collectively known as the ElvesofLight; those who do not want to follow, or lost in the middle are called ElvesofDarkness, because they have never seen the light of the **** tree before the sun and moon wake up. .

The Vatican was most loved by Manwe, the king of the gods, and Varda, after the stars, and has lived in Oman since then. The Nordo Elf is a friend of Aule, the king of the earth, and learned a lot from him. Among them, Prince Fenoor captured the light of two **** trees and injected them into the three Silmarils. But the regained freedom of Mok destroyed the tree of God and stole the jewel on the way to the north; Fernan's father, Fenway, was also killed. Manville warned the elves not to fight against Molke, but the Nordo elves led by Fernault did not listen to the advice and decided to return to China. They fought the ship and the Tralee spirits at the seaside in Oman.

Fernor took the ship of the Telefie and led the most loyal to his elf to the Middle of the Earth; but he was soon killed by Barrog (Balrog). Since then, there have been five major wars between the elves and the dark forces. In the last battle (The WarofWrath), Vara led the elves who remained in Oman back to Middle-earth, captured the Dark Lord and put it into the void forever (TheVoid). Many elves sailed back to Oman, the country of immortality, and the rest of the mountains continued to remain. Three Simarel gems survived the disaster, and one rose into the sky to become Venus, one was put into a blazing flame, and the other was thrown into the sea. This is also the origin of the three Elven Rings after thousands of years: the name of the Vilya (RingofAir), the Ring of Fire (Narya, RingofFire) and the Ring of Water (Nenya, RingofWater).

The elf is long, smart and beautiful, elegant and eye-catching. They are best at poetry, literature and music, and they are also the most terrible archers in China. Only fire, sharp edges or extreme sorrow can kill the elves; when they feel that 10,000 centuries is too long, they can also choose to give up immortal life and go to the soul to dominate Mandos's hall in Oman.

Among the famous elves of the Lord of the Rings, Galadriel is the blonde of the Nordo Elves; her son-in-law, Rivendell's founder Elrond, is the black-haired Noel. The multi-elf; her husband, Celeborn, and the guardian of the golden jungle, Haldir, are the Sindar elves, the same as the Tralee elves, and their hair is silver-gray. After the Lord of the Rings was destroyed, almost all the elves sailed to the West; only Ellen's daughter Arwen and a small number of dark elves stayed and became legends in the mouth of the Chinese people.

About the dragons of the dragon and the dungeon:

Elves often appear in human settlements, and although they are always welcome, they are not very used to this life. The elves are known for their poetry, dance, rap and magical techniques, and admire the beauty of nature. However, if the forest home is threatened, the elf will display the skill and strategy of the knife and bow, revealing the exquisite side of martial arts.

Personality: Elves often show joy but do not pursue excitement, often curious but not greedy. Because of the long lifespan, the elves can look at everything from a broader perspective, and they won't be ignorant of trivial matters. However, when they pursue specific goals, whether they are taking risks or learning new techniques and crafts, the elves can concentrate on their hearts and minds. It takes a long time to be friends with elves, and it is the same for enemies, but it is more difficult for elves to forget friends or enemies. The elf despise a slight offense, but takes revenge for serious insults.

Body shape and appearance: The elf is usually thinner than humans, about 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall and weighs about 85 to 135 pounds. Elf males are similar in height to women and weigh slightly. The elf's skin is white, dark, and often has dark green eyes. The elves don't have beards or body hairs. They like plain and comfortable clothes (especially light blue or light green) and they prefer simple and elegant jewelry. The elves have an elegant and meticulous body, and their beauty often impresses other races. The elf is only 110 years old and can live over 700 years old.

The elves don't need to sleep, which is very different from other common races. The elves meditation every day (called ”God” in the Elvish) for 4 hours, which gives them an effect of 8 hours of sleep. Elfs will dream when they meditate. These dreams are actually introspective mental exercises after years of practice.

Relationship with other races: The elves think that human beings are not delicate enough, the halflings are not calm enough, the gnomes are too ordinary, and the dwarves have no sense of humor. They have some pity for the half-elf and no trust for the half-orcs. Although the elf may feel a bit arrogant, it is not as picky as a dwarf or a halfling. In general, elves will be happy and kind to people who are not self-sufficient (after all, except for the elves themselves, everyone will fail in their eyes).

Faction: Elfs love free and diverse things and like to express their own personality. Most of them tend to be chaotic, but they are mild. In general, elves cherish the freedom to protect others, just like treating themselves. The elves are usually kind.

Place of residence: Elfs usually live in the forest as a clan, with no more than two hundred clan. They immersed the village in secret with the forest and tried not to harm the forest. The elves will hunt, collect food, and plant. They use special techniques and magic to fill the food without having to plow the plow. Elves usually limit the contact between villagers and outsiders. However, some elves will exchange their meticulous costumes or crafts for the metal they disdain to live a rich life.

The elves who live in human land are usually bards, popular artists or sages who travel around. Human aristocrats often compete to hire elves to teach children swordsmanship.

Religion: The elf admires the ”life protector.”

Language: The Elvish language is very smooth, with subtle swaying, and the grammar is complicated. Elf literature is very rich and wonderful, and is most famous for singing poetry. Many bards learn Elvish to add beautiful Elvish songs to their own repertoires, and some bards rely on pronunciation to record elf songs. The Elven text is as smooth as the Elvish, and it is used as the language used by the Mu language (the language used by trees and pics).

Name: The elf usually announces his adulthood after his 100th birthday and then chooses a name for himself. But even if he knows that he is an adult, he may continue to call him with his previous name, and he himself does not mind. The name of the adult elf is entirely self-created, although it may reflect the names of some people he likes, or the names of his family. The elves still have family names, usually composed of some common elf words. Some elves translate their surnames into lingua franca when they travel, while others still retain the melody of Elvish.
