Chapter 42, Light Elf Trading Station(1/2)
After seeing Ishtwan off, Sid sighed slightly.
It is easy to deceive the Imperial army with his identity and the certificate issued by Sid, but it is difficult to deceive his father, the "Black Eagle Lion". When he returns to the Central Dynasty, he will inevitably face a huge storm. In addition to dozens of whips, Duke Holstein's eldest son will inevitably face anger from his father. This will definitely not be as simple as a beating.
But Ishtwan decided to go back.
He did change.
But this doesn't matter, Sid has his own things to do.
"I remember... it's here." Bypassing two blocks and crossing a river, Sid came to a quiet place in Wolf Castle. It was not as gray and dirty as other places in Wolf Castle. It crossed a small bridge, sky blue buildings, orange walls were covered with dense vines, flowers were blooming in the courtyard, and someone was playing football on the green grass, and two pointed-eared elves guarded at the gate.
This is the Light Elf Trading Station and also the destination of Sid.
Most of the large cities of the Holy Empire have business stations. If there are places where the werewolf dare not cause trouble, then the business station of the Light Elf and the Dwarf Burning Cauldron Bar will definitely be among them.
In this world, there are naturally elves and dwarves, among which dwarves are divided into fire dwarves and mountain dwarves. Fire dwarves live underground and mountain dwarves live on the surface. Except for the different division of labor, the differences are not obvious.
There are many differences in elves. The elves have risen as early as the age of the Dragon God and are the darlings of the Dragon God. In the battle between the ancient gods, the elves were once very entangled with whether to turn to the heavenly god system, and eventually they turned into light elves and dark elves.
Most of the light elves live on the Dawn Islands and the Floating City, and prefer heaven to convert to the sect.
Most of the dark elves live in dark areas and deep underground, and tend to be the Dragon God Loyal Sect.
The two sides had already shown signs of serious division at this time, but they were temporarily active in the name of the Elf Empire.
After the Battle of Suisson's hegemony of the first Holy Falcon Emperor, the Elf Empire was completely divided, and the Light Elf fully recognized the authority of the Holy Empire and obeyed the orders as a vassal of the Holy Empire.
The Dark Elf partially recognized the authority of the Holy Empire to escape into the deep forest and underground. As the regular tribute state of the Holy Empire, it only maintained the minimum level of exchanges. Although the Light Elf left the Holy Empire, the two sides always maintained diplomatic and trade relations, while the Dark Elf turned hostile.
Now it is the Sixth Dynasty. The Holy Empire attaches great importance to the diplomatic relations between the two forces of the Light Elf and the Dwarf. Once the civil conflicts are involved, it will easily rise and become diplomatic disputes. Therefore, the werewolf dares to knock on bones and suck marrow at foreigners everywhere, but they are very afraid of the Light Elf and dare not do anything to these people.
Because once the two sides fight, the fireball of the Elf Wizard will be directly covered with the face of the Werewolf. A fireball will either die or be disabled in the past. There are very few mages in the Holy Empire. The Werewolf can talk about "glorious traditions" and "not martial ethics" when facing humans, but magic is the glorious tradition of the Elf. When the Elf takes the initiative to provoke trouble, even if the Elf kills the person and goes to the circuit court, there will be nothing. Over time, the Elf dares not provoke the Elf at all.
This is also the characteristic of the werewolf: I am willing to accept the loss. Since I took the initiative to provoke trouble, I will admit it and rarely cause trouble afterwards.
"Sorry, sir." Two fully armed elves guards stretched out their spears, stopped Sid, and looked at him with their nostrils: "The elves' business station will not receive human friends~ Friends, please go back."
The armor of the two elves guards is typical of the light elves style, with bright golden magic pattern breastplate and cow horn helmet, holding a snake-shaped spear in his hand, holding a scimitar in his waist in the other hand, a short sword hanging on his belt, and a crossbow behind him. If Sid guessed correctly, their boots and bodies still have daggers hidden.
interesting.
“I have a reservation.”
"Are you kidding? This is a shopping mall, not a hotel for you. The shopping mall never accepts human reservations." The elf guard laughed from the gap of his horn helmet: "You are wrong. My friend, this is not a hotel in your Holy Empire. Playing this set is useless to us. Please go back, otherwise please don't blame us for being rude."
"I have a reservation." Sid stretched out his finger and flicked it on the surface of the snake-shaped spear: "My friend made a reservation for me."
Irresistible power came from the crossed spears, and the guards took a step back at the same time. They were both angry and surprised. The humans in front of them seemed to be less than 18: "The last chance."
"Winey Sapenters Silverman, he booked the room for me."
The surname Silver Hand was like magic, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"Silver Hand?!" A scream came from the ox horn helmet, and the two guards looked at each other.
"Winey Sapenters has booked a room for me." Sid repeated: "I am his friend."
"So it's a guest of the Silver Hand!" The guard immediately straightened his back and saluted: "I'm very sorry, I'm offended. Please come in. The fire and wine are already waiting for you. At the Sunshine Merchants Station, you will definitely feel the feeling of home."
"Thank you." Sid couldn't help laughing.
Do you understand the value of silver hands?
It seems that these two guards still understand.
Following the marble stone path and entering the front hall of the shopping station, the elves in groups of three or three were sitting there drinking the elves and tasting the jam bread. When they saw that humans appeared here, the elves whispered.
On the surface, the light elves greeted Sid enthusiastically, and raised their wine glasses to signal to him, as if they were very welcome to his arrival.
But the elf language spoken in your mouth is not so friendly.
"Hey, look, the white-haired freak."
"Romani Mix."
"Now, I don't want to smell the stench of humans while drinking."
Unfortunately, Sid understands the elf language.
The light elves are such arrogance, their arrogance has almost ruined their race.
But he pretended not to hear it, stepping on the heavy carpet made of isoembossed craftsmanship, looking at the white gold-top walls and gorgeous chandeliers, the bar made of white oak and a glass wine cabinet made of hundreds of high-end wines behind. Sid came to the bartender and was about to speak to a female elf bartender, but the female elf bartender said in the elf words as if nothing had happened: "Don't pay attention to those guys, they have no formal jobs and no good magical talent, and rely on their own identity as a light elf to fool around in the human kingdom."
The muscles on Sid's face twitched, and he changed his mouth and said in an elf saying, "It's okay, I'm used to it."
The atmosphere in the living room immediately became awkward. The elves looked at each other and lowered their heads to eat silently.
Why does this human look so young and understand elf language?
Elf language is a famous and difficult language in the world.
After hearing Sid's words, the female elf bartender's face became embarrassed. She took back the common language she had thought of in her stomach and simply continued to say in elf language: "No matter how you came in, what are you going to come?"
"There is a letter, and it should have arrived before me." Sid spread his hands: "The letter from the Silver Hand."
"Silver Hand?" The female elf bartender almost shouted out.
"Silver Hand!!!" The idle elves who were eating around stood up together.
In just two seconds, she immediately changed her attitude. Not only did she lean slightly, but she also changed into a smile: "It turns out that she is a friend of Silver Hand, and the things are ready long ago! Your first three glasses of wine here today are all free!"
"Take me a verification."
"Now?"
"Now."
"Okay, please wait."
Sid sat on the bar and asked for a cocktail "Tequila Sunrise" and smiled as he watched another bartender throw all the orders immediately and give priority to mixing him.
He did not have an invitation to the banquet, and if he wanted to get into tonight's banquet, he had to have some other means.
He had prepared in advance. In his experience, the previous methods of banquets of this level were no longer very useful.
It is not difficult to understand that he was in the "local dog" Ryzlan before, and his journey was in the "poor and evil wolf countryside. In this case, Sid could forge his identity and disguise himself as a famous Noblel, who was not afraid of the country people not believing it.
However, there were definitely many Nobiles attending such national diplomatic banquets that the Imperial Princess attended. What is the reason for Sid to be a little whiter than the fact that he had no invitation letter.
So he needs some special means to maintain his sense of mystery, make himself look special and unique.
That is the light elf.
As the darling of magic, the Light Elf clan is born with a complete range of spellcasters, wizards, druids, and sorcerers.
This was originally a good thing for the sacred empire that was extremely scarce and scarce to the thirsty, but the arrogance of the Light Elf tribe made it impossible for both sides to truly work in close cooperation.
In a certain era in ancient times, the elves prospered and developed under the favor and favor of the Dragon God. No one can compare with their wisdom and artistic attainments. Their martial arts and civilization are the best in all realms. As the darlings of the Dragon God, the elves' civilization achievements in the era of the Dragon God were far superior to those of humans and dwarves. Because of this, the elves always participated in the battle as the Dragon God side in the battle between the ancient gods and suffered huge losses.
As the battle between the ancient gods approached its end, the dragon god system either fell or was imprisoned. Only the sea dragon god Siberes escaped into the deep sea of the ocean. The elves began to hesitate about whether to turn to the heaven god camp. What was quite strange was that the heaven gods seemed to lack the intention to completely liquidate the remaining dragon tribes and elves.
The elves came to the fork in the road.
In the end, some of the elves thought that they had paid enough and agreed to convert to the sect and become light elves.
Some elves remained firmly loyal to the old belief of Dragon God and became dark elves.
The racial character of the Light Elf has always been lingering in excellence and arrogance. As a super civilization left over from the Dragon God era, hundreds of floating cities above the Dawn Islands are described as the glory of the Light Elf. To this day, the level of civilization in this world has not been able to catch up with the glorious era of the Dragon God.
Sid was not surprised by the state of the light elves while sitting on the bar. The light elves have been restrained a lot now. You should know that the light elves still have a holy throne supreme array.
During the 544-year-old Holy Eagle window of the Holy Empire, the Light Elf survived the glorious "Double Holy Era" of more than 300 years. At that time, the Light Elf's disdain and arrogance towards humans could be written on his face.
"Human? Just an ants."
"Sacred Black Eagle Emperor, are you the singer?"
Until the great priest Cecilia succeeded in attacking the extreme realm, the light elf immediately restrained his arrogant attitude and readjusted his relationship with the Holy Empire. It is said that although the great priest Cecilia is very young in the Supreme Holy Holy Eagle, she is better at fighting than the old priest of the light elf. He personally admitted that he was not the opponent of the great priest.
The Light Elf King immediately accepted the invitation of the Emperor of the Empire to lead an envoy to visit the Holy White City, and the diplomatic relations between the two sides heated up again.
After discovering that Sid could understand the elf language, the elves in the lobby were embarrassed and all of them were left in a few minutes. Before leaving, a guy came to apologize. Sid smiled meaningfully and expressed his forgiveness for his offense.
"I'm sorry, sir, these people are not serious guys, nor are they wizards. They are usually responsible for odd jobs, and some of them even serve the werewolf." The male elf bartender also apologized: "This bottle of strawberry jam represents our apology."
It was slightly smaller than Sid's fist and was delivered to Sid with a glass bottle of jam. Sid calmly accepted it. The value of this jam was much greater than that of a few glasses of wine.
"How's business lately?" Sid said to the male bartender as he tasted the cocktail.
The appearance of the elves is fascinating. An elf is about 30 years old and is in adolescence before 150 years old. Before that, she was always young, beautiful and vibrant. A normal elf can live for three centuries. Generally, the physical characteristics will only slightly change towards middle-aged people after the age of 200. Most elves will have their appearance when they die of old age. When they are thirty or forty, they will look like humans in their thirties or forties. It is very rare and there is a reason for the appearance of an elderly person.
Sid couldn't guess the age of the male bartender, but he certainly wouldn't be over 150 years old.
"The business has been very good recently." The male bartender shook the mixing glass in his hand.
"Not affected by the war?" Sid asked curiously.
"It is precisely because of the impact of war, business has been good recently. War always brings new business opportunities. Some people want to take away their wealth discounts, some want to escape from their relatives, and some people think that war is an opportunity. In any case, our Elf Business Station can provide the services we need." The male bartender said proudly: "Only our reputation in the world is the most guaranteed."
"So you hope the war will continue?" Sid thoughtfully. The reputation of the Light Elf is indeed very guaranteed. Someone once took the goods list from the Third Dynasty to ask for money. After confirming his identity, the Light Elf really paid and gave it extra interest.
"Actually, not." The male bartender immediately changed his words: "We are the elves who still hope that harmony is the most important. After all, war is uncontrollable and unpredictable. A druid once said that you will never know what the next chocolate tastes, just like the sunrise of the tequila in your hand. A cup is delicious, a bucket of pure waste, and a simple taste is always the best."
"It's right." Sid didn't say anything more, and he raised his glass to agree.
