In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.
On both sides of the spacious road, there are rows of evergreen trees, which grow neatly there, giving people a refreshing feeling.
In the distance, a beautiful city is standing, and half of it can be seen from a distance.
"We have arrived at Tsukimi Castle." A voice sounded around, the tone was very calm, and there was some nostalgia and nostalgia in it.
On a carriage, Barana sat in front of the carriage, looking at the city in the distance, and explained to Adil: "This is the city I stayed in when I was a child, and I spent several years in it."
Her appearance changed greatly at this time.
After coming from the territory of the Dark Wizards Alliance to the outskirts of the Elf Forest, for several months, under the care of Adier's medicine, the original injuries on her body had been completely healed, and she looked very energetic at this time.
The originally terrifying flesh on the surface of the body has grown a new layer of white skin. Although he is sitting in the carriage, his plump figure and relatively delicate facial features attract the attention of others, and he looks full of vitality.
shoot.
"If anyone you know wants to visit, I can give you a few days off."
Sitting in front of the carriage and driving the carriage, Adil said to Barana on the side.
"Forget it."
Barana shook her head: "I was an orphan when I was a child. I could only make a living by begging in this city. Most of the people I knew back then are dead now."
"Speaking of which, back then, if I hadn't been discovered to have a talent for knighthood and been adopted back, I would probably be a corpse by now."
Her tone was calm, and she looked a little melancholy as she looked at the city in the distance.
On the side, hearing her story, Adil looked calm and just drove the carriage quietly without saying anything else.
Adil also learned a little about Barana's identity during the time they spent together.
Barana is a highly skilled knight. She left the Silvermist Forest three years ago due to certain circumstances and ended up living in the territory of the Dark Wizards Alliance.
As for how the injuries on her body came about when they first met her, she has refused to elaborate.
In this regard, Adil had no intention of asking any more questions.
After walking for a while, the number of carriages and caravans in the distance began to increase, making the fully restored road in front of us look crowded for a while.
However, it was still early in the morning, and many caravans from far away were still on the road at this time. Therefore, although there were many people, it was not too much at the moment.
At least, compared to the congested roads that Adil experienced in his first life, these are just child's play.
On the way, Adil noticed that there were not only ordinary humans in the caravans going around, but also many alien races.
There are lizardmen, orcs, half-orcs, and various ethnic minorities, all walking on this road at this time.
But relatively speaking, the number of lizardmen and ordinary humans is the largest here, while the number of other races is relatively smaller.
Adil can easily understand this situation.
The Silver Mist Forest is located in the south. In terms of location, it is the closest to the Swamp Kingdom and the Black Wizards Alliance. Naturally, there will be more exchanges between the races in these two places.
As for the orcs and plateau people, most of them are located in the north of the Meisen area, which is too far away from the Silver Mist Forest.
Walking along the road, after a while, Adil focused his eyes on several figures on the side of the road.
They were several tall and thin figures. Although they looked similar to ordinary people, they were generally taller, basically above 1.7 meters, which was considered a good height in a world where ordinary people were generally malnourished.
They are tall but not strong, their skin is fair, and their facial features are generally more delicate than ordinary people.
"These are the elves in the Silver Mist Forest?"
Looking at those figures, Adil asked Barana who was standing aside.
"Are you disappointed?"
Barana smiled and said: "In the legends of your human world, elves are all handsome, beautiful and long-lived beings, and it seems that every elf is an art master who is good at music and sculpture."
"These are the real elves."
She looked at Adil, pointed at the elves in the distance and said: "Although the elves look pretty good compared to ordinary people, in fact most of the elves are just average or even ugly.
It’s not like I’ve never seen elves before.”
"As for the so-called art, it is even more ridiculous."
She shook her head, with some self-mockery on her face: "Ordinary elven civilians are struggling for life just like human civilians. Even in the Silver Mist Forest, ordinary elven civilians may be even worse than human civilians. Those so-called arts,
It’s just something exclusive to elven nobles.”
"Elves generally have a longer lifespan. This is true, but it's not too exaggerated."
On the sidelines, Adil listened to her story silently and said nothing.
As a wizard, he certainly would not take it for granted that elves represent beauty.
In fact, things that appear beautiful on the surface may not necessarily be true behind the scenes.
In addition to the superficial beauty and mystery, the real situation of the elves is actually far crueler than that of the humans in the Meissen area.
This is a race where blood is supreme.
The elves attach great importance to blood. In the kingdom of elves, except for elves born into nobles, the rest of the elven commoners can never become a noble.
An elf who was born into a commoner family would not be able to make his descendant a noble spellcaster, let alone marry a noble, even if he worked hard all his life.
The reason for this situation is that on the one hand, the elves attach too much importance to tradition, and on the other hand, it is also because the talents of the common people are too low.
Just like the human world, ordinary civilians, even if they are lucky enough to have wizard qualifications, but if their ancestors do not have the blood of wizards, then the wizard qualifications that appear will generally be first or second class.
As for second-class qualifications, let alone being promoted to a formal wizard, even becoming a third-class apprentice is extremely difficult and requires a lot of energy and resources.
The elves are even more serious in this regard.
Perhaps due to racial differences, among the elves, ordinary civilians are less likely to have wizard qualifications than humans, and the qualifications they possess are generally much worse. It is said that second-class qualifications can be regarded as geniuses among elven civilians.
On the other hand, because they possess part of the blood of ancient moon elves in their bodies, the probability of possessing wizard qualifications among the elven nobles is relatively high.
This has undoubtedly widened the gap between the two sides. Coupled with the elves' conservatism and emphasis on tradition, the current status quo has been formed over time.
Even if a commoner works hard all his life, he can at most make his life a little better. It is impossible to become a noble. He will be subject to various restrictions throughout his life. Even if one bad person conflicts with the nobles, the entire family property may be directly confiscated.
All the things in his heart were passed over in his mind, but on the surface, Adier was very calm, just driving the carriage quietly and walking forward along the road.
On the side, Barana seemed to feel bored when she saw Adier's behavior, so she walked into the carriage, seemingly ready to go in and rest for a while.
After a while, the carriage drove slowly into the city gate.
There were a few guards guarding the door, but they were not elves, but some dark-skinned, tall and strong Gugao people.
The Gugao people are a race near the Silver Mist Forest. Although they look similar to humans, they are actually not exactly the same as humans. In addition to their skin and flesh being much stronger than ordinary people, they generally have longer growths on their chests and arms.
Has black scales.
The individual combat effectiveness of this race is relatively strong. Even an ordinary member of the race can rival a skilled veteran as long as he is an adult. However, there are too few people in the race with wizard talents, so the overall strength is not strong, and they are just dependent.
A small race of elves.
There is no so-called city gate tax. After inspecting the goods brought by Adil, the Gougao guards in front of them allowed Adil and the two to enter the city.
This city does not allow carriages and horses to be driven, so there is a special place for carriages outside the city.
Adil put down the carriage, put away the remaining things, and then walked into the city with Barana.
What comes face to face is a sense of cleanliness that is not found in other places.
The city in front of me looks very neat. Although it is still a bit chaotic in some places, it is pretty good compared to other cities that Adier has visited.
Especially in the city, there are many carefully cultivated green trees, some of which have small flowers on them, which Adil likes very much.
Of course, there are many bad places.
Perhaps because there are so many outsiders, the members of this city are very mixed.
On the way, Adir has seen several groups of beggars, including orcs, elves and ordinary humans.
Looking at these beggars, Barana was in a daze. She looked at a corner somewhere and didn't know what she was thinking.
"If you want to see it, you can go over and have a look."
On the side, Adil smiled at her and handed her a bag of small copper coins without continuing to speak.
As a result, Barana was stunned for a moment, looking at Adil's appearance in silence for a while, and then walked forward in silence.
She is obviously more caring than Adil, and maybe seeing those beggars reminds her of herself who once struggled here.
She didn't give much, she gave each beggar a few small copper coins, and then quickly walked back to Adil.
"Is this okay?"
Watching her come back, Adil looked at the beggar in the distance and said casually.
"I gave each of them three copper coins. According to the custom, they can keep one for themselves, which is enough for them to eat another piece of bread."
Balana looked very familiar with this and shook her head: "No matter how much more things are given, this is all they will have left."
"Let's go."
She looked at the long road and said: "The roads leading to other cities are more difficult. We still need to make some preparations before setting off."
