In the last book, Benedict met the fat merchant Thomas in Dulin Town, and the two had a good conversation for several hours, and if it weren't for the drunken Imperial Guard, who caused too much trouble, I am afraid that this conversation would have continued to go on and on.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to the old man, Thomas walked all the way in the predetermined direction. His timber transport route was simple, from south to north, from the town of Dulin to the city of Frante in the Duchy of Loyle.

Luther's House was a stopover for a few drinks, and when he looked up and found the red-bearded dwarf Kaygan in the brightly lit tavern, Thomas the fat merchant rushed forward and greeted him warmly.

The Cagan was even more enthusiastic, clinging to his cheek with his red beard stained with ale juice.

The dwarf didn't forget to introduce Albert, after all, this was one of his best friends when he was in the world.

Xiao A is now the Duke of Borot, and he always has to leave a hand when he goes out, he has long specially instructed Kegun, not to easily reveal his true identity in public, so Thomas regarded Xiao A as Kegun's employer, and asked the two of them what they were going to do for a living.

Although Kegan is good at talking nonsense, he is easy to get into a god, and Albert sees the right moment to lead the conversation to the fat businessman's own experience.

Thomas is a good man who is very honest and energetic, and he treats his friends as well, and Xiao A's personable speech and demeanor make him full of favorability, and he is like an old friend reunited, and he quickly enters the state: "I'll tell you a story about the elf queen." Everyone knows about Danse Forest, but if you really step into it and roam and come out unscathed, I don't think the entire Tamborance Empire can make up the triple digits. The pointy-eared elves seemed to have countless treasures and secrets to hide, and they were always shy to answer and refuse to have too much contact with the outside world. Their lifespans are exceptionally long, generally more than twice as long as our humans, and the current Elven Queen is rumored to have reigned for more than 150 years. Have any of you ever seen a wrinkled elf? ”

Thomas paused at this point, waiting for others to object.

The dwarf Kage grunted down a glass of wine and muttered, "Those tree-hugging cubs must have been greased and powdered all day, making each one look like a sissy." The short stature, coupled with the touch of fine skin and tender meat, is really disgusting!"

"Yes, the elves don't seem to look old at all. Thomas was a little brighter, as if it were his work, "This group of pointy ears retains a youthful appearance until death, which is the envy of some human women." Back then, during the Guvien Empire, there was an imperial princess who wanted to obtain this secret, she was the only daughter of the emperor, and the resources of the entire Bodi Continent could be provided for her to deploy, she made a lot of jaw-dropping promises, but in the end it was fruitless. The orthodox elves were reluctant to even take a step out of the Danse Forest, and they didn't want any outsiders to snoop on their privacy and secrets. What I want to say today is that the reigning Elven Queen seems to be a celibate, and she has not had any public partners in all her long life. In the past, the position of Elven Queen was elected by many elders, but this rule was broken by a powerful figure hundreds of years ago. This queen is the third generation of this family, and there are rumors in the elven society that after her death, it is likely that the election system will be restored again. ”

"It doesn't matter what the fucking recommendation is, the current situation of the hugging cub is all deserved. Think about how arrogant and majestic it was when they occupied the entire continent, and we dwarves would occasionally be chased and beaten by them when they occasionally popped up on the ground, and the reason why a world war broke out later was also because they were too unreasonable. "Kagun's history is barely passing, and all his thoughts are spent on disdain for elves.

Thomas took a sip of ale and continued to smile and said: "This unmarried and barren elven queen is a completely mysterious figure, not to mention that we humans have never seen her for what she is, and even the elven elders who rushed to attend the grand meeting in Apulia every five years almost did not have the opportunity to see her. ”

"Aprilia, that's the legendary capital of the elves. Albert had a look of yearning evident on his face. This huge city in the forest of Danse is the source of classic material for human children's books, "It is said that the city is almost floating on top of the towering ancient trees, and it is no less massive than any great human city." It has both the solemnity and ** of the holy city of Rom, and the luxury and luxury of the imperial capital of Cesar, even if it competes with history, it is more glorious than Gled City, and its existence has definitely exceeded that of the capital of the ancient Venian Empire. ”

Thomas admired Albert's erudition and nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes." Apulia is as magnificent as it is rumored. Although I haven't been there personally, as you know, businessmen rely on a wide range of contacts and news. What I can say here is that Epulia is definitely the biggest and most breathtaking city on the Bodi continent. The mysterious elven queen, who never showed her true face, wore a special mask to cover her face at all times. She has been in power for more than 150 years, and only in the first few years has she shown her true colors to the world, and then she has been permanently hidden behind a mask. Although the elves lived a long life, it was almost impossible for them to live to nearly two hundred years like this queen. Her lifespan, like her appearance, has become the object of everyone's speculation. There were once several bold elders plotting to overthrow the queen's rule, they were thoughtful, and they had been planning together for a long time, thinking that they could smash the yellow dragon and kill them with one move, but unexpectedly, the elf queen seemed to have already known the thoughts of this group of people, she couldn't bear it, and when the other party thought he had a plan, she suddenly made a move and wiped out these people in one fell swoop. She is very intelligent, thoughtful, and seems to be able to use many magical spells. All in all, she is a flawless white bi who can't find a trace of flaws all over her body, and there is no way to find it. ”

"The spells of the elves must be related to nature, they have famous druids, there are terrifying archers, their beliefs are still based on all living beings, they have never given birth to a monotheistic religion like us humans. Albert said along the fat merchant's train of thought.

"That's true. Thomas smacked his throat with a sip of ale, "That elven queen's spells are also inseparable from nature. She can control the towering trees of the Danse Forest to match her will, and she can call on mysterious werewolves to tear her enemies apart. She almost became one with the whole forest. It was a real water melt, and the elders of all the elven clans had to agree to this. ”

"We humans cast spells in two ways, either by relying on the cold crystal, a source of energy from the outside world, or by cultivating our inner qi for decades like a polymath monk, and in the name of the Creator, to realize our potential. Kagun, do you remember what happened to the city of Greed? The elf Druid Melanie, who uses the power of teleportation to connect with the earth and trees, uses the power of nature to achieve abilities that seem amazing to us humans. ”

"Oh!" Kagong had long since forgotten the exact name, and the only thing he remembered was the good wine he had drunk in Oaktown.

The atmosphere in the tavern was already very strong, and the finale of the House of Luther was the graceful singing and dancing of several elven women. Albert looked at these poor people who had left their homes to make a living in human society, and his mind was thinking about other things.

Thomas was in the mood for it, occasionally raising his glass and sipping his belt, and he shook out all the legendary anecdotes of the Elven Queen, some of which he added his own understanding and imagination. He thought that these stories could move the two brothers present, but unfortunately the thoughts of the two people on the other side seemed to have drifted away.

The coachman who helped Albert drive the carriage was a man of peace and quiet, and returned to his bedroom early to rest. At first, Xiao Ah responded to Thomas politely from time to time, but gradually he slackened. No matter how strong the elven queen's magic is, no matter how strange her whereabouts are, it has nothing to do with him. He had to escort his father's coffin back to Solo City safely, and he had to find a way to rush to the front line of Birthi City as soon as possible to fight against the Kentan kingdom that could rebel at any time.

Not to mention the keggan, whose beard was stained with ale, he was not as polite as Xiao Ah, and he was also full of hostility towards the tree-hugging cubs, and the elven queen was the head of the tree-hugging cubs, so of course he had to show a special look of contempt.

Fortunately, Thomas is a non-observant orator, and he doesn't care about the audience's feedback, and immerses himself in the stories he weaves. He tells of a learned cardinal who trespassed into the Danse Forest alone and was intercepted by an elven ranger, a beautiful and innocent girl, and a spark of love seemed to spark between them. The elf led the cardinal to his people's place of residence, and the elder, in a fit of rage, expelled him from the tribe and never allowed to see him again. The cardinal was not good either, and he ignored the kindness of the elven sister, relying on his amazing magical abilities, forcing the elder to take him into Aprilia to meet the elven queen. The most scruples of these tree-hugging cubs is that the trees in their homes are burned, and the cardinal has mastered this psychology as a bargaining chip for victory.

The female elf ranger was really infatuated, and persuaded both sides to give each other a step. The cardinal knows how to take advantage of this ally, taking the initiative to make gestures of reconciliation. The Elven Elder made a request to help investigate the cause of the recent unruly and insane werewolves in the forest.

When Albert heard that he was a cardinal of the Bo Sect, he suddenly picked up a little interest again, he had such a relationship with Benedict, and he was therefore extra interested in the people and things in the Bo Sect.

Because the fat merchant said that the elven queen's magical powers were too mysterious before, it affected the authenticity of the current story. Xiao Ah couldn't help but want to know how much of this had actually happened.

As soon as Thomas heard that someone questioned him, he immediately became anxious, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, patted his big belly and said: "I have absolutely no nonsense about this, not even any extraneous branches." ”

Xiao Ah fluttered his eyes, nodding on the surface, but still muttering in his heart. He worries about old Benedict, after all, the other party is his biological father, although he can't recognize each other for various reasons, but there is always a trace of continuous affection. That old man went to the Danse Forest with the spirit who had attempted to assassinate the emperor, would he encounter any special danger?

The dance in the center of the stage is getting more and more cheerful, but Xiao Ah can't be happy, there are too many things to worry about, and there is no leisure to enjoy at all.

The candle flames that kept flickering with the flow of the indoor air, and the plump legs that were bouncing became a white mist in his eyes. Perhaps it was because of the drinking, and the sorrow continued to gush out through this strength, which made Xiao A's mood very dark.

The dwarf Kaigen had drunk so much that he couldn't help but lie on the table and snore deafeningly. Thomas, the fat merchant, had also spoken dryly, and gradually fell silent.

The night was so deep that it brightened the lights of the tavern.

Just when most people were immersed in pleasure, several big men suddenly flashed in outside the door, all of them holding maces and a short sword pinned to their waists. The evil man at the head shouted: "Whoever is responsible here, get out of here quickly! If there is no word, the House of Luther will be turned upside down like this table!"

It was the silver bottle that burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with the sound of swords and guns, what is the purpose of the comer, and the next time it will continue.
