"Hey, you, you, you, this is really a missed opportunity, a missed opportunity."
To everyone's surprise, the Shangqing of Chun Kingdom was not a demi-human, but a white-haired old man dressed in black clothes. He was hunched over and even a head shorter than Lu An next to him.
However, he still quickly walked into the courtyard and bowed his hands to Heller, the leader, and everyone behind him, including Asuka Karasawa, who seemed to be the same age as Lu Ming.
Heller smiled and waved his hands, once to the left and once to the right, as if he was inspecting with kind eyes, but he did not speak. Fisher wanted to step forward, but Gelsemium beside him had already taken a step forward.
They came up to say hello, exchanged polite greetings, and each introduced the members on both sides.
The old man in front of me is called Xiong. He is a native of Chun State. He became a minister here many years ago.
According to Gelsemium, most elven feudal countries would not invite humans to hold important positions, let alone the most important position like a country's minister. The reason is of course related to rank and status, but the most important thing is actually
life.
Elves can live for a long, long time, and the talents they need are not as good as humans. For example, morning dew is fleeting. Therefore, the elves in other feudal countries generally prefer immortal species. The most famous one is one very close to the World Tree.
In a country called "Wu Tong", the monarchs there are twins, "Wu" and "Tong", and their ministers are "Phoenix". This involves an allusion, a story from long ago.
When Fisher heard Gelsemium's explanation, he asked a few more questions, and then he realized that the current Lord Phoenix had been dismissed and replaced by another race to rule. The allusion was as follows:
The two monarchs Wu and Tong were very violent and liked to kill for fun. At that time, the Phoenix Shangqing once advised the two monarchs: "Treating the people violently is like cutting off one's own legs and cannot be established." As a result, the two myths
Lord Chong didn't take it seriously. Instead, he pointed at the wings of the phoenix minister and asked with a smile, "Does a phoenix like you, which has wings and lives a long time, need legs to walk?"
Subsequently, they ordered that Phoenix Shangqing could only use his wings to fly from now on, and was not allowed to use his legs to walk, otherwise his legs would be cut off. Then within a few months, they did not know whether it was to prove the correctness of their predictions.
Perhaps because of the resentment in his heart, the Phoenix Lord died in depression, and the entire Phoenix clan was driven to the border of the country by Wu Hetong and lived with slaves.
In the ears of the elves, this is a funny joke as a drunken pastime; in the ears of other races, this is a heroic lament.
Surprisingly, this allusion is widely circulated in the Tree Continent, but it has different meanings when heard from different people.
Fisher was speechless after hearing this, because he, who came from the future, knew that one day in the future, this great race would be fed up with such oppression and make a bold move: they would follow and steal the elves.
The giant dragon who respected the roots of the giant tree the most left his hometown and went to a place covered with wind and snow to take root again and create their own epic.
The matters discussed in the Tree Continent seemed to have been given to Gelsemium by default. Heller chose to be a mascot that only did sightseeing and could only smile and wave hello, which made Fisher a little confused. But in the end, she has since
After hearing that she had changed her ways, she no longer teased her. Maybe it was because she felt that she had lost the fun?
Asuka Karasawa had been looking in one direction. Fisher followed her gaze and found that the deer man named "Lu Ming" from before was hiding in the corridor in that direction. When she felt
When Fisher and Karasawa Asuka were looking at her at the same time, she suddenly jumped back and disappeared.
Originally, he wanted to say something, but for some reason, he quickly looked away without saying a word.
And the moment Fisher turned his head, a white hand gently placed on Asuka Karasawa's shoulder. It turned out that Heller was already standing beside her at some point, scaring her.
He was about to jump up on the spot, but Heller held him firmly in place.
"H...Helel angel?"
"Hmm, are you looking at that deer-human species? Are you interested in demi-human species?"
"No, I was looking at the flowers in the basket on the top of the stick she was holding. That flower seemed to be similar to Fisher...no, it was very similar to the material used by angels when they forged holy objects."
Karasawa Asuka originally wanted to say that it was the material used by Fisher to forge magic, but she thought that Fisher was hiding there alone and refused to let others see it, so she didn't tell anyone.
Heller nodded with a smile and said,
"It's very sensitive. That thing is indeed a forging material, and there are fragments of the rules of fate on it."
Seeing that Asuka Karasawa didn't quite understand, Heller did not continue, but suggested with a smile,
"If you are interested in this thing, just ask Fisher. He took a lot of this material from Lord Sariel before."
"Hey... Well, let's forget it." Asuka Karasawa pursed her lips and finally refused.
Unexpectedly, Heller seemed to see through her thoughts, came closer and asked,
"Because Fisher looks like he wants nothing to do with you?"
"No...not because...well, it is."
Karasawa Asuka still wanted to quibble, but was still discouraged under Heller's smiling expression, and nodded a little embarrassed.
As mentioned before, Asuka Karasawa was keenly aware of Fisher's vague alienation. This did not mean that the other party hated her, but more like there was a natural gap between two people at different levels.
Likewise, even in our own world, "reliable adults won't have too many conversations with inexperienced high school students."
Karasawa Asuka thinks that the possible reason is that she is not very mature and does not have any special abilities like other people in this team. Of course, she cannot be blamed for this. There is nothing she can do. She can only try her best not to add anything.
It's just trouble.
"I just think they are all very powerful, I... can't get a word in, so..."
Heller's smile deepened after hearing this, and he quietly glanced at Fisher and Gelsemium, who were talking to Xiong over there, and said to Asuka Karasawa,
"Well, whether it's great or not is another matter. You, the transferred person, are obviously interested in this world. It's not impossible to ask them. It's easy to find something they are good at and talk about it.
By getting closer, you might be able to learn a lot. I can tell you a little bit about their interests and hobbies..."
"Mikhail likes to make things, but he doesn't like to talk much; Gelsemium is very interested in medical skills, and he is kind-hearted; as for Fisher, I don't know what he is good at, but it seems that you have seen him before
Oh... Oh, and also, he is actually very interested in demi-races, very interested in them, and you might gain something unexpected by talking to him about this."
"Interested in demi-human races?" Asuka Karasawa's expression changed, and she secretly glanced at the serious Fisher over there, as if she didn't understand what she meant.
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I am interested in the academic sense."
Heller bit her tongue on the word "academic", as if this concept was very important. As she spoke, she took out a small knife from her arms with a relaxed expression and put the thing on Tang Ze
In Asuka's hand, she looked carefully and saw that the thing was the same type of carving knife that Fisher had used to carve magic. She said by the way,
"Also, here's the tool that Fisher took before. I don't know what it is used for, so I'll give it to you. In short, remember to start with what they are good at and be proactive. Don't be too rigid~"
Asuka Karasawa opened her mouth, and gratefully held the carving knife that Heller handed to her in her hand. Although she was moved, she was still a little unsure.
"Thank you... thank you... but I couldn't do anything well before... I was a little worried, so... but thank you very much for telling me this, Angel Hell."
Heller smiled and shook his head and said politely,
"You're welcome. After all, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope. A more harmonious atmosphere in the team is what I want to see. Okay, go ahead and remember, he will be very interested in the demi-human race.
of."
"Yes, I took note of it, thank you."
Asuka Karasawa hid the carving knife and walked back, while Heller just stood there without moving, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and his mood seemed to be getting better.
In her peripheral vision, she saw Lu Ming hiding behind the corner and running back to peek. Unlike Karasawa Asuka who was peeking, she boldly whistled at Lu Ming.
"Haw!"
The little girl Lu Ming was so scared that she jumped away and disappeared.
...
...
"Hiragi Hou is here?"
And Fisher and Gelsemium were not without things to do next to them. The reason why they chatted for so long was because they had just learned the news that the Marquis of Hiiragi from the country next door was here as a guest. Well, he was the one who had just been reincarnated not long ago.
Hiiragi Hou.
"Ah, yes, Lord Hiiragi arrived this morning. As a rule, the elves have to visit their compatriots to announce the matter just after reincarnation, and this time is no exception. But it doesn't matter. Visitors from the sanctuary wish the king a long life.
It’s a matter for all the elves. You can come with me to see Uncle Chun later, so that you can help him out.”
After Xiong finished speaking, he sighed. Lu An outside had prepared carriages and horses for them, and Xiong invited them to go to Chun Bo's palace to meet the two adults.
Seeing that Heller didn't show any expression and looked like he was hanging up, Gelsemium had no choice but to agree and was going to take everyone to Chun Bo Palace. Fortunately, Fisher asked one more question after getting in the car,
"What do you mean by 'relief' just now? Is Uncle Chun in any trouble?"
Xiong got in the car, sighed after hearing Fisher's words, and whispered,
"This... to be honest, Lord Hiiragi was just like most other elven masters in the past. He was very violent. After this reincarnation, his temperament changed drastically. I heard that it is far from what it used to be. The tribes below can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
...But it wasn't until recently that I realized that many of his bad habits had been corrected, but only one remained..."
Asuka Karasawa ran back and got into the car behind Mikhail. When she got in the car, she glanced at Fisher one more time to attract his attention, but when she looked back, she had already sat down obediently and smiled.
Heller got into the car quietly, without any pretense, and then looked at the scenery outside the window.
Gelsemium leaned forward a little and whispered the same,
"What's wrong?"
Fisher also came closer, and the three of them got together, conspired in low voices, and listened to Xiong's serious words,
"She's lustful, and not an ordinary lusty one. Oh...it's so weird. You'll know when you go there. Anyway, Uncle Chun has been busy entertaining him since this morning. Now it's fine, you guys are here for him."
I can also take a breath.”
Lustful?
Fisher and Gelsemium looked at each other, as if they didn't fully understand what the old man meant, but they would soon know.
As mentioned before, Chunbo's palace is at the bottom of the huge tree. It is no different from other wooden houses, but it is much different in specifications and formats. Here, the number of steps, each
There are strict requirements on how many steps a floor should have and how many columns each house should have.
The "gift" enveloped by the elves seems to have left traces only here in this country.
The carriage stopped in front of an extremely spacious square. There were many guards in front of the main hall. One side was holding a Chun wood weapon, and the other side was replaced by other metal objects, symbolizing the situation of the two countries.
With Gelsemium and Gelsemium, they quickly rushed towards the palace, but from a distance, Fisher seemed to hear some kind of strange music. The instrument seemed to be made of some kind of metal object, and the sound was triggered by tapping.
The whole sound sounded ethereal and elegant. Along with the melodious music, Xiong led Fisher and his party to the front of the hall, and he knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly to the hall,
"Hiragi Hou, Chun Bo, the envoys from the Holy Domain are here to serve as the king's longevity!"
The music in the hall stopped abruptly. Fisher raised his eyes and looked into the hall, only to see two tables placed at the end of the wide hall, one high and one low. In front of the lower table was sitting a man in black clothes.
of male elf species.
He looked quite young, with a pair of extremely slender ears on both sides of his cheeks, and many metal hangings on his ears. When he turned his head, the metal hangings jingled; he had long black hair.
It was coiled on the head extremely solemnly and bound by some kind of hair crown. The expression on the face was very dull, the eyes were pale purple, and the rest were very different from human beings.
His aura was very obvious, and he was probably around the sixteenth level. After hearing Xiong's words, he turned his head, first glanced at Fisher, who was standing beside Gelsemium, and then looked at him in turn, and finally settled. He glanced at Heller who was standing behind everyone.
With just one glance, Fisher recognized that the rather young-looking elf was the "Chun Bo" Xiong mentioned.
Then, the person sitting in the main seat is...
Fisher's eyes moved away from Chun, and moved forward a little bit to look at the male elf sitting in the main seat. The elf looked quite young, and might even be only twelve or thirteen years old in appearance. On the left and right, he was quite handsome, with black hair tied in a crown very similar to Chun's, but his face was reddish, as if he had drunk some wine.
That is the Marquis of Hiiragi from the country next door.
I saw his long ears twitching, but there was nothing hanging on them, so there was no crisp sound like Chun; he took a sip of the drink in the cup, and a very unconventional sense of maturity appeared on his seemingly immature face. He burped, then stood up with a cup in hand and said to Xiong and Fisher in front of him,
"Come in...burp, but don't stop, you guys..." He looked at the musicians sitting next to him in the hall and said, "Keep playing music, keep dancing."
Uncle Chun next to him sighed and waved to the people below. Upon seeing this, they immediately nodded and responded,
"yes."
Xiong Lao stood up hunched over, wiped her sweat, and invited the people behind her to come in. Heller walked forward, and the others subconsciously slowed down their pace and followed her, waiting for her to know what happened. Only when he came back to his senses did he realize that he had reached the first place.
And as Chun's order was given, the music in the palace rang again, and the doors on both sides of the palace slowly opened, and with a bit of fragrant breeze coming out, countless furry, sticky lakes, or lakes were revealed inside. A soft demi-human race.
The squirming, jumping, or pacing female demi-humans slowly walked into the center of the hall, twisting their bodies to the sound of music nearby.
Their clothes, races, and ages are all different, but they may have one thing in common, which is "extremely strong inhuman characteristics."
The tapir women swung their noses, the mantis women shook their sickles and antennae, and the moth women flapped their wings full of moth powder and spun in mid-air...
"Good! Good! Good dance!"
Following the drunken cheers of Lord Hiiragi, the entire interior of the hall looked like a drawing from hell.
