Chapter 265: Elves

In the early morning, the sun shines on the earth.

On both sides of the wide road, there are rows of evergreen trees, which grow neatly there at this time, giving people a fresh feeling.

And in the distance, a beautiful city is standing, and you can already see half of it in the distance.

"Tsukimi Castle has arrived. A voice sounded around, and the tone was very light, with some remembrance and nostalgia in it.

In a carriage, Barana sat in front of the carriage, looked at the city in the distance, and explained to Adiel: "This is the city I spent in when I was a child, and I spent years in it. ”

Her appearance at this time has changed a lot.

From the territory of the Dark Wizard Alliance to the outer area of the Elven Forest, for several months, under the recuperation of Adiel's medicine, the original injuries on her body have been completely healed, and the whole person looks very energetic at this time.

The original terrifying skin and flesh on the surface of the body have grown a new layer of white skin, and although he is sitting in the carriage at this time, his plump figure and delicate facial features are extremely attractive to others, and the whole person looks energetic.

"If there's someone familiar who wants to check it out, I can give you a few days off. ”

Sitting in front of the carriage, 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, and I had to beg for a living in this city, and most of the people I knew back then are now dead. ”

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't been discovered to have a knightly talent and adopted back then, I would probably have been a corpse by now. ”

Her tone was flat, looking at the city in the distance, looking a little melancholy.

On the side, hearing her narration, Adier's face was calm, and he just drove the carriage quietly, without saying anything.

Regarding Barana's identity, during the time they got along before, Adil also learned a little.

Barana herself is a skilled knight who left the Silver Mist Forest three years ago for some reason and ended up in the territory of the Dark Wizard Alliance.

As for how the injury on her body came from when she first met her, she has never been willing to go into details.

In this regard, Adil did not mean to ask more.

After walking for a while, the carriages and caravans in the distance began to increase, making the well-repaired principle in front of them seem crowded for a while.

However, it was early in the morning, and many caravans in the distance were mostly still on the road at this time, so although there were many people, it was not too much for a while.

At least, compared to the congested roads that Adil experienced in his first life, these are only pediatrics.

On the way, Adil noticed that there were not only ordinary humans in the caravans around him, but also many alien races inside.

Lizardmen, orcs, half-orcs, and various ethnic minorities are all walking on this path at this time.

However, relatively speaking, the number of lizardmen and ordinary humans is the largest here, and the number of other races is relatively small.

For this situation, Adil is easy to understand.

The Silver Mist Forest is located in the south, and in terms of location, it is the closest to the Swamp Kingdom and the Dark Wizard Alliance, so naturally there will be more races between these two places.

As for the orcs and highlanders, most of them are located in the north of the Meissen region, too far away from the Silver Mist Forest.

Walking all the way down the road, after a while, Adil fixed his eyes on several figures on the side of the road.

It was a few tall and thin figures, although they looked similar to ordinary people, but their height was generally relatively tall, basically above 1.7 meters, which is a good height in this world where ordinary people are generally malnourished.

They are tall, but not athletic, and have fair skin, and their facial features are generally more delicate than those of ordinary people.

"These are the elves of the Silver Mist Forest?"

Looking at the figures, Adil asked Barana on the side.

"Isn't it disappointing?"

Barana smiled and said, "In the legends of your human world, elves are handsome, beautiful, and long-lived beings, and it seems that every elf is a master of music and carving. ”

"These are the real elves. ”

She looked at Adiel, pointed to the elves in the distance and said, "Although the appearance of elves is not bad compared to ordinary people, in fact, most elves are also middle-to-upper-level, and even ugly elves, I haven't seen them. ”

"As for the so-called art, it's even more ridiculous. ”

She shook her head, her face a little self-deprecating: "Ordinary elven civilians are just as busy with human civilians as they are for life, and even in the Silver Mist Forest, ordinary elven civilians may be even worse than human civilians. Those so-called arts are just the exclusive stuff of the elven aristocracy. ”

"It's true that elves generally live longer, but it's not too exaggerated. ”

On the side, Adil listened to her in silence and did not say anything.

As a wizard, he certainly doesn't take it for granted that elves are the perfect synonym for beauty.

In fact, what is beautiful on the surface may not be true behind it.

Despite their superficial beauty and mystery, the reality of the elves is far more brutal than that of the humans in the Meissen region.

This is a race where blood reigns supreme.

The elves attach great importance to blood, and in the realm of elves, except for the elves who were born into the nobility, the rest of the elven commoners can never become a nobleman.

An elf born into a commoner family, even if he struggles all his life, it is impossible for his descendants to become a noble spellcaster, let alone intermarry with nobles.

The reason for this is that the elves attach too much importance to tradition, and on the other hand, because the talents of the commoners are too low.

Just like the human world, ordinary civilians, even if they are lucky enough to have wizard qualifications, but if the ancestors do not have the blood of wizards, then the wizard qualifications that appear are generally first-class or second-class.

And the second-class qualification, let alone the promotion to a full-fledged wizard, even if you want to become a third-class apprentice, it is extremely difficult, and it requires a lot of energy and resources.

The elves are even more serious in this regard.

Perhaps because of racial differences, among the elves, the chances of ordinary civilians having wizard qualifications are lower than those of humans, and the qualifications they possess are generally much worse, and second-class qualifications are said to be geniuses among elven civilians.

On the other hand, because of the possession of part of the blood of the Elves of the Ancient Moon in their bodies, among the elven nobles, the probability of having wizard qualifications is relatively high.

This undoubtedly widened the gap between the two sides, coupled with the conservatism of the elves and the importance of tradition, the current status quo has been formed over time.

Even if a commoner struggles for a lifetime, he will at most make his life a little better, and it is impossible to become a nobleman, and he will be subject to various restrictions for a lifetime, and even if a bad one collides with the noble, it may lead to the direct confiscation of all family property.

All these things in his mind passed through his mind, but on the surface, Adil was very calm, just quietly driving the carriage and walking along the road to the front.

On the side, seeing Adier's performance, Barana also seemed bored, so she stepped into the carriage and seemed to be ready to go in and rest for a while.

After a while, the carriage drove slowly into the city gates.

There were a few guards guarding the door, but they were not elves, but some swarthy and sturdy men.

The Gugao people are a race near the Silver Mist Forest, although they look very similar to people, but they are actually not exactly the same as people, except that the skin and flesh on their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people, and they generally have black scales on their chests and arms.

The individual combat effectiveness of this race is relatively strong, and even one of the ordinary members can be compared to a skilled veteran as long as he is an adult. However, there are too few people in the race who have wizarding talents, so the overall strength is not strong, and it is only a small race that is attached to the elf race.

There is no so-called city gate tax, and after inspecting the goods brought by Adier, the Gugao guards in front of him let Adil and the two enter the city.

Horse-drawn carriages and horseback riding are not allowed in the city, so there are special places for horse-drawn carriages outside the city.

Adil put down the carriage, put away the rest, and walked into the city with Barana.

What greeted us was a sense of neatness that I didn't find anywhere else.

The city looked neat and tidy, and although there was still some chaos in some places, it was pretty good compared to other cities that Adil had visited.

Especially in the city, there are also carefully cultivated green trees, some of which have small flowers on them, which makes Adil look very fond of it.

Of course, there are many bad points.

Maybe it's because there are a lot of outsiders, and the city is very mixed.

Along the way, Adil had seen several groups of beggars, including orcs, elves, and ordinary humans.

Looking at these beggars, Barana was a little stunned, looking at a corner somewhere, not knowing 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, then handed her a bag of small copper coins, and did not continue to speak.

As a result, Barana was stunned, looked at Adil's appearance and was silent for a while, and then walked forward silently.

She was obviously much more loving than Adiel, and perhaps she saw those beggars and thought of herself who had struggled here.

Without giving much of anything, she handed each beggar a few small copper coins, and quickly walked back to Adil.

"Is that okay?"

Watching her come back, Adil looked at the beggar in the distance and said casually.

"I gave each of them three coppers, and it was customary for them to keep one for themselves, enough for them to eat another piece of bread. ”

Barana looked very familiar with this, and shook her head at this time: "Even if they give more things, that's all they have left in the end." ”

"Let's go. ”

She looked at the long road and said, "The road to other cities is more difficult, and we need to make some preparations before we set off." ”
