Chapter 56: Xia's Conflicted Heart
Her pink lips were blocked with wood, her hands and feet were tied together, and Xia lay angrily on the carriage.
However, the carved wood in her mouth was very strong, even stronger than the pure wood before. She knew that this was a kind of magic unique to the Wols tribe: injecting magic into the wood carving to make the wood as strong as steel.
She became even angrier.
In the past, the Wols tribe, whether in rivers or oceans, were the ones who built river and ocean dams. Sick trees and rocks that affected their balance would be easily pierced by their claws and mouths, and then become dams or fortresses to protect the weak.
When fighting, they would wear armor carved from wood, hold wooden weapons, and use their extremely sharp claws and teeth to carve their enemies into statues.
But now, it is used to make exquisite carvings for humans? As decorations?
Even making something for humans to gag her mouth? !
Xia was extremely angry, but as one of the strongest carpenters in the beaver world, Beaver Dad's carpentry skills were so strong that Xia couldn't speak at all.
The carefully measured data just allowed Xia to open her mouth completely without feeling uncomfortable, and even her tongue was fixed, so that she could only make vague humming sounds instead of making vague sounds.
“What a great craft!”
Li Ke couldn't help but praise it. No matter how hard Xia tried, the seemingly thin work of art showed no sign of breaking. It was really amazing.
"Mr. Li Ke, thank you. Thank you."
The beaver father smiled, wiped his paws, and put his tools back into his pocket. He had a very proud expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was also proud of his craftsmanship.
Beaver Mother's expression was a little subtle. After all, Xia seemed to be scolding someone, and she discovered that this prop seemed to have other uses.
After a little thought and a blush on her cheeks, the beaver mother understood everything.
So she pulled her husband's hand and gave him a look, and immediately Beaver Dad shuddered all over and his face became a little ugly.
Going to die.
This was his only thought now.
"Come to think of it, can you make weapons? Weapons like this one are made of wood but are as hard as steel."
Li Ke knocked on the wood carving in Xia's mouth and asked with a hint of profound meaning.
The weight of wood and the strength of steel make it an excellent weapon for swordsmen.
The weight of the weapon, whether a little more or a little less, can affect the swordsman's attack speed, which is why the lightsaber is difficult to deal with.
It's not just because lightsabers are generally extremely sharp, but also because the speed of a lightsaber depends entirely on the twist of your wrist and the speed of your arm swinging.
You can't play with a sword made of steel like this because your wrist won't be able to bear it.
If it were a wooden sword, even he could increase his speed by one-fifth, so if possible, he really wanted one.
Not only that, if it can be mass-produced or supplied on a small scale, it will be very beneficial for his subsequent plans.
"arms……"
Beaver Dad was a little hesitant, but he thought of what Li Ke had said before about the Ionia Five-Year Plan, and the hesitation on his honest face instantly disappeared.
"……sure!"
He heard a lot and understood a lot. If he was asked to help Li Ke personally, he would not follow Li Ke's lead. But if it was to provide Li Ke with some weapons, he could still do it.
The beaver mother subconsciously held her husband's hand and silently supported his behavior.
Although she didn't understand why her husband was willing to help Li Ke make weapons just because of a few casual words from this human, since it was her husband's choice, she would silently support it.
Moreover, inexplicably, she did not hate the human who kidnapped them. Instead, she felt willing to trust him.
Xia on the side snorted disdainfully.
She came here to persuade these beavers to make weapons for her. Although she could use her feathers to fight the enemies, it would be different with or without weapons.
Moreover, many of the Vastaya who needed to resist were unarmed .
But no matter what she said, these beavers, especially the guy who is now the chief of his tribe, had no intention of agreeing at all. He even told her that their tribe had not made weapons for a long time. Now they are a tribe that pursues peace and balance and will not interfere in the fight between humans and Vastaya.
So she left the gathering place of the LS tribe angrily, but she did not give up completely because she felt that she could convince the other party in the end.
But now, the other party was persuaded by a human being, and even took the initiative to say that he could make weapons, which made her very unhappy.
But she also had to admit one thing: if she were the other person, she would agree.
Because Li Ke's words seemed to have magic, and this person also seemed to have magic. He was obviously a mortal without any magic power in his body, but he gave people a feeling that he was worthy of trust.
And a nagging feeling.
Xia found that when she saw this man for the first time, she felt irritated. When he attacked her, she felt a sense of inexplicable grievance, as if he had done something wrong to her by treating her like this, which made her very angry.
She hadn't noticed this before for various reasons, but now that she had calmed down, she discovered many differences.
It’s like when the other person said that he was made of human fabric, what was he thinking at that time?
Xia closed her eyes, as if this could stop her from thinking about it.
What was she thinking at that time?
She was thinking that if Li Ke was the only one watching, she could just tear the humans' fabrics apart.
She couldn't understand why she had such shameless thoughts, but that's what she thought! Not only did it make her very unhappy, but she also felt a strong sense of shame!
How could I be such a shameless woman!
And I am a Vastaya, how can I have such thoughts about humans?
But the more she thought about it, the more this thought came to her mind, and she discovered something that made her even more terrified.
After Li Ke talked about the Five-Year Plan for Ionia, she began to agree with Li Ke, agreeing with...
I agree with Li Ke’s idea that humans and Vastaya should truly unite!
She couldn't accept it, nor could she understand why she could be persuaded so easily.
No matter how she denied it, she couldn't lie to herself, because she agreed with it in her heart. Even when Li Ke stuffed her mouth just now, she had the opportunity to bite off two of Li Ke's fingers, but she didn't do that!
"Damn it! What the hell is wrong with me?!"
Xia bit the wooden sculpture in her mouth in shame and anger, and became more and more annoyed as she looked at Li Ke in front of her.
