After helping Lorraine Hill clarify her thoughts, Vestena was not in a hurry, because such a matter could not be decided in a day or two.
"Would you like to take a walk around the Emerald Garden? Just tell you, it's hard to get a feel for the actual living conditions of the elves."
"I'm going to participate in an academic exchange at the 'Pelican Corolla' in just two days. Do you want to go and see it together then?"
"Okay." Lorraine Hill broke away from his thoughts at this time and answered.
"Okay, let's make some simple preparations first." She said with a wink.
Two days later.
A small boat carried two people on a clear blue lake.
"Have you seen the city on the lake in the distance? There is the 'Pelican Corolla'." Vistena pointed into the distance.
This is a huge lake located in the Emerald Garden, stretching for dozens of miles, and the 'Pelican Corolla' is on the shoal in the center of the lake.
The houses here are all built on the water. They vary in size, look like jellyfish, and appear in different circles. Long, slender bridges connect these buildings to make it easier for elves to walk. There are many small boats passing through the city, transporting various things.
, some are merchants selling goods, and some are elves who come to travel and play.
"Around the edge of the city, there are a large number of pelicans living among the lakes and plants near the north. Whenever they take off, their snow-white wings join together in the sun, which is very magnificent. This is also the origin of the name of this corolla.
.”
After introducing the ‘Pelican Corolla’, the boat slowly sailed into the city’s waterways.
Sitting in the boat, Lorraine Hill slightly blocked the sunlight above his head with his hands and looked at the houses on both sides of the waterway.
Some elf women will be doing some handicrafts in front of their homes, such as weaving clothes, repairing things, drying some food, playing with flowers and plants, etc., and some are practicing and playing music, painting, reading, etc., you can tell
, the lives of the elves are very rich and full of life.
"The leader of the 'Pelican Corolla' is Asara, a male elf. He is currently in middle age, probably over 180 years old."
Vistena recalled this old acquaintance and slowly told his life story.
"Asara was born and raised on the border of the forest. Although she went to school in the Emerald Forest, she lived in human society for a long time after graduation, and then returned to the forest."
"Because of his improvements and some measures, the 'Pelican Corolla' developed rapidly, and was later recognized by many elves in the Corolla and became the leader of this faction."
"Compared to other elves, he has a broader vision and is more in favor of exchanges between elves and the outside world. Therefore, this academic exchange is more about connecting with each other and consolidating relationships."
"Everything has to be difficult first and then easy. Because of Asara's relationship, outside residents are not excluded here, so you can see some humans and even very few orcs."
"That's it." Lorraine Hill replied, his eyes also glanced at a human who was negotiating business with the elves. He seemed to be from the East, with an accent there, and there were people on the boat beside him.
There was a smell of spices coming from the box.
Pelicans flew down from time to time in the sky. These water birds were pecking on the lake. The silver-lined fish caught in their beaks reflected the bright light, kept twisting and splashing, and was finally swallowed by the pelicans.
After arriving at the 'Pelican Corolla', the two first found the arranged accommodation to rest, and then Vistena took Lorraine Hill to visit Asara.
The two walked on a high bridge as thin as a bud, passing through local houses. Some of the architectural styles were obviously different from the elves in other regions.
For example, the theater that Lorraine Hill just walked through was in light blue and glazed green color, like a round jellyfish floating on the water, with a circle of arc-shaped columns on the outside, and an empty water stage in the middle.
It is said that during the performance, the elf dancers will dance on the water, and the water splash and lights will complement each other, just like being in a romantic fantasy under the sea.
After walking through the lively streets of the town, the two finally stopped in front of a wide lake.
There is an arc-shaped palace in the shape of a petal, with a light blue floating fence on the outside, which separates the inner and outer lakes from each other. Inside, there are several curved arcs that go around the wide lake surface, outlining a shape like a petal.
After Vistena revealed her identity, the two elf waiters played their flutes, and white water lilies of different sizes bloomed on the water, connecting the road to the palace.
"Okay, let's go there."
Westena took Lorraine Hill across the water, and then came to the central palace. At this time, many guests arrived first, most of them were scholars from the elves, and some were powerful extraordinary beings.
"Lady Vestina~"
After the two entered the translucent dome building, two young elf girls came over soon.
"It's you sisters, how are you doing lately?"
Seeing the two of them, Vesterna responded with a smile, and then Lorraine Hill realized that the two of them had also studied under Vesterna in the past.
"We have just arrived. This exchange meeting held by Master Asara invited many people and allowed us to see many powerful people." As they said this, the two elf sisters seemed to be eager to try.
"Haha, then you have to work hard. I remember you have been in Sequence 6 for a few years, and you should be breaking through soon."
"Well, thank you for the compliment, teacher, hee hee." Then the two of them said a few words to Vestina before waving goodbye.
"Vistena has a lot of students." After watching them leave, Lorraine Hill asked curiously.
"This can only be said to be a coincidence. I have taught a group of students in the Emerald Garden in the past, such as Charlie, and the two sisters just now. We all met at that time. It was not until eight years ago that I was transferred to Emena.
Si, there were a lot less of them later, after all, not many elves go to school in Emenas."
After briefly talking about her own experience, Vestena and Lorraine Hill introduced the people who gathered together in the hall. Of course, she only selected a few representative ones to introduce to the girl.
"Have you seen the noble lady wearing a dress with gold petals?" Vestina said, pointing to an elf in the distance who was holding a wine glass and talking to people. There were many people around her.
"Her name is Sabrina. She is a representative of the pure-blood elves. She rejects half-elves who are mixed with humans. She hopes to establish a country with only elves like in the past. She is a rare hardline among the major factions."
"Sabrina likes gold, gorgeous and luxurious clothes. The 'Gilted Corolla' where she lives is also famous for various luxury goods, some of which are purchased by outside human nobles with huge sums of money."
"She is also surrounded by a group of elves who are keen to recall the past when the elves were strong and hope that such a prosperous age will come again."
After introducing the most conspicuous elf in the crowd, Westena turned her attention to the other side. A mature elf woman was sitting at the round table. She was wearing a graceful long dress that matched white and light blue, with fur on her shoulders.
The shawl brought out the snow-white skin.
"That is Malantha. Their family has been prosperous among the forest elves for a long time. They are one of the few elven nobles with a long inheritance. Compared with Sabrina, she is much gentler in people and things, but don't be fooled by appearances.
I was deceived. This elf noble is the kind of person who believes in and values tradition very much. It will be extremely difficult for her to change her past ideas."
"Then there are some figures from smaller factions. Not all people from all factions were present at this exchange meeting..."
Afterwards, Vistena introduced some characters. These elves came from various places and had different personalities and origins. This also gave Lorranthil a general understanding of the social structure of the elves.
