Chapter Forty-Eight: The Foothold of the Elves

Ramaherdi never expected that Mendong City would agree to her proposal to build a contact point on behalf of the elven forces so quickly.

The crowd wiping cold sweat didn't expect that Rama Hedi would be so simply in the middle of it.

Hit it off, and the two parties naturally talked in the private room of the Mendong City Hotel's restaurant, which happened to be the one before Wei Geri's accident last night, in the dark.

What name should the focal point of the office be used, whether it should be open or semi-public, and whether it should be included in the SIERTA management system...... Ramahedi found that many old roots and words were cobbled together into new words, and most of the time she spent negotiating was to explain the concepts of the new words......

Although the new words are quite time-consuming to interpret, and the Elta loanwords made by the Chinese also have many awkward words, conflicts with existing grammar, and even pronunciation and repetition with other words, Ramahedi is really admired by these otherworldly people in some places.

In other words, they were able to think of a lot of blind spots that she couldn't think of herself, and that even the Elven Round Table could hardly think of. Including the location of this institution, the elves' food and clothing subsidies, and even security, communications, and access on the boundaries of Mendong City, etc., have been scrutinized. The meticulous planning and detailed division of labor made the management work done by Elta's royal family almost like that of a three-year-old child.

Ramah declined the decision to locate the organization in the Mendong City office building, opting instead for another two-story building located in the south of Mendong's city center. In terms of communication, the transportation dragon that Mendong City was originally equipped with for her was also canceled - when talking about the fact that the elves could communicate with each other and even hold meetings through nature, Rama Hedi could see that the eyes of the people on the other side showed surprise, even a little fear.

In addition to these episodes, the two parties seem to be a little late to see each other. The elves' favorability towards the otherworldly forces continued to rise, and naturally they hit it off with the official Sierta who wanted to make friends with the elves, and Rama Heti simply agreed to accept the invitation of the participants in the box and stay for dinner.

Before the dish was cooked, the chef was still on the way, and the household registration police, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, rushed in, with a background, a curtain and a printer, occupying half of the box in an instant. Half-confused, Ramahertia received her still hot identity document, which she was told to travel to and from all the important places of the Eastern City without hindrance, and that she would be accompanied by a special person—except for the barracks.

At the beginning, when it came to giving documents to Miss Elf and even other Elf clans in the future, some people put forward the opinion that this was extravagant and wasteful. However, the spark of this thrifty spirit was soon drowned out by the astronomical tide of "being able to get a headshot of an elf girl...... The household registration policemen who were sent to take pictures of Rama Hedi were even more satisfied with the jealousy of the people and their colleagues - needless to say, this wallet should be exploited.

However, if you can see the pointed ears that will shake, it is worth the ticket price...... The household registration policemen who walked out of the door with their equipment licked their tongues, this "diorama exhibition" is not a value that can be compared with a meal. Although according to the confidentiality regulations, it is a pity that these things cannot be compared with netizens on the Internet.

"Looks like I'm very popular, huh?" Rama Heyuan, who returned to the table, struggled with the gum in her mouth and asked Huang Yuan, who was also translating at the table.

"It's more than welcome." Huang Yuan looked at Rama Heyuan with a straight eye. "Now there are at least half of our team who think about you every day."

"Then why don't you have one?" Ramaher sneered, and climbed up the pole. "Am I not glamorous enough?" She could clearly see that Huang Yuan's behavior of poking Xiaodouzi with a toothpick was deliberate.

"Hmm...... I'm engaged, so ...... You should know. I have to look out for my safety. Huang Yuan's explanation stumbled and stammered—and his colleagues who understood Elta around him laughed.

Rama Hedi also bowed slightly, revealing an intriguing smile. The roar of the Hedong lion is found in every plane. There are also Hedong lions in the era when women are disadvantaged, not to mention the era when men and women have been completely equal at the legal level?

"Elta's nobles can also have multiple female partners. But I basically don't see you otherworldly people come here to take concubines...... What is the reason? ”

Huang Yuan has no say on this issue. There are some places where the laws and regulations cannot be made public—even if the law of non-intermarriage with the Elta could be written in bilingual on the bulletin board, the real reason for it could not be stated directly.

Fortunately, however, there were law professors at the table who were very good at circumventing the bend, so it was easy to explain the problem from another point of view.

"Miss Ramaheti, do you know that Elta has one husband and multiple wives?"

"Not much." Ramahedi thought for a moment and came to a conclusion. Even if the concubines who can't be included in the distribution of property and only have the opportunity to become regular, the Elta people who have them are extremely rare, and Emperor Charles has a group of concubines, but the people are emperors, and they can't be compared.

"If I'm not mistaken, do the Elta people consider 'monogamy' a virtue?"

It is a virtue everywhere from the beginning, not to mention that this message was mentioned when Ramaherti was still a consultant. She nodded softly in approval.

"We regard 'monogamy' as one of the most basic principles of the state, no, society. That is, the law. The law professor tapped his finger on the tablecloth, and the lenses of his glasses shone with an eerie reflection. The purpose of this is to raise the status of women to the same level as men. ”

The elf in front of him nodded approvingly. The professor's heart eased, and now he succeeded in turning the female elf's attention to this problem.

"The problem posed by polygamy is called 'female objectification' on our side. They have lost their personal freedom, let alone the freedom to marry, and what is the difference between them and the piglets sold on the street? Think about it, is it really appropriate for your mother to be naturally respected by you, but not to be given the same status as you? ”

If there were any other women present, they would have been embarrassed by this sentence. However, the entanglement between the elves is not the same as ordinary people, and these two new currents are unusually compatible. So Ramahetia raised his own question:

"So how can the women of Cierta guarantee their autonomy in the future?"

"It's simple." The professor pushed his glasses, "The factory we opened will inevitably greatly reduce the time that women spend in the family, so parents will gradually lose their ability to control girls from a certain age." Of course, unless they have a private marriage contract, we tentatively set the legal age of marriage in Elta at 18 for men and 16 for women, and in the case of a private marriage, both the child and the community have the right to file a complaint, and the future prosecutor's office can also prosecute if there is evidence. ”

Rama Hedi didn't seem to understand, the professor thought to himself that the first law in my dynasty was the marriage law, which is a top priority, after all, you Elta and the elves still have some patterns, and then took a sip of water, and continued to pour out the rough opinions discussed in the legal team:

"In addition to the factory, we will open schools in Elta in the future to promote the idea of equality between men and women," he said, waving his hand, "We want women to know how wide the world is, not just one bed, one room and one kitchen." And marriage is also based on the willingness and love of both parties, and no one can make a choice for them. ”

Ramahetia heard that there was a little bit of an understanding here. "So, it's better for you to control society by raising the status of women, isn't it?"

This damn girl is right. The professor sneered quietly, but he couldn't hide it any longer.

"That's right. We want women to be half the sky in the world. We don't just have to use factories and schools to tap into the potential of Elta's men, but also women. The richer the Elta people are, the more business opportunities and profits we can get from them, you know? ”

"You people really think that you can also get business opportunities in moral matters." Rama Hedi smiled, and she vaguely felt that every yellow-skinned otherworldly person in front of her was born a genius for trading. And the phrase used by the "professor" just now said "Elta" instead of "Elta", which is really intriguing.

No matter what little Jiujiu was thinking as Rama Hedi listened, the person who had just stopped here continued to elaborate on his point.

"Moral considerations are only one of them. Second, according to our analysis of the birth population of Sierta in the past six months and previous archives, the ratio of male to female births in Elta has also been roughly maintained at 55%. That is to say, whether male or female, if one party suddenly has an individual who has a large amount of resources of the opposite sex, then someone is bound to be forced to beat a bachelor for such a reason - didn't Elta have a story of revenge for the girl she loved when she was snatched away by the lord? You must know that whether it is the Elta people, or our country on the other side of the portal, human beings are not afraid of less distribution, but are afraid of uneven distribution. Even if he had obtained his income by lawful means, thus raising three wives and four concubines, wouldn't jealousy have led to some strange incidents of violence against him? Just like the 'evil' lords in the legends. It's not just about protecting the vulnerable, it's about keeping the rich safe on the premise of making concessions. Of course, monogamy based on reasonable and voluntary is under the dual protection of law and morality, and in this way, society becomes more stable. After his tirade, the law professor leaned back in satisfaction and waited for Ramaheti's evaluation.

Stable, stable, such words are rare in Elta, and they are often seen in the various banners and posters in Mendong City, and Ramahati has no sense of these before - new concepts, new words are not surprising in this otherworldly city.

Only now, she must ask what the deep meaning of these high-frequency words with different styles is.
