Chapter Ninety-Six: Elven Traditions
Tommy really didn't expect it, how could there be such a drama?
The elven ranger in front of him, he knewβa captain of the ranger unit, whose name seemed to be Pearl. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ Info Tommy remembers that Pearl is one of the Nancy elves who came down from the Golden Leaf, and his direct leader is none other than the Ranger General Pehinse.
It must be impossible for Pearl to do such a thing as sealing the winery, she doesn't have that much courage, and she can't have so much power. Then, there is only one possibility left: this operation was indeed personally instructed by Perkins.
Before Dane left, Dane had left instructions for Tommy, saying that he should keep an eye on the woman Pehins.
Tommy wasn't wrong, but what could he do? Pehin is a twelve-level ranger general, and in the entire island of Cormyra, who can control her except for Dane? Even if Dane made a personal move, he would not be this woman's opponent.
All Tommy can do is to be careful not to mess with this woman, which is already the maximum. He was sure that during Dane's absence, he certainly hadn't done anything that would upset Pehinse.
But what he didn't know was that Pexins's greatest anger came from his winery.
Elves are not a race that doesn't drink alcohol - if what they themselves call 'dew' can be called wine instead of juice. However, they would never use the Moon Well to make wine, which was a small and small blasphemy in their tradition.
According to the tradition of the elves, the water of the well of the moon well is the blessing of the elven gods and the tree of life. Generally speaking, their well water is used as a religious blessing, like the holy water of the Holy See, the largest religious organization in the human kingdom.
The use of well water to grow fruit trees, and still within the limits of tradition, is not a great crime, but in the eyes of some old-fashioned, conservative elves, it is a thing that must be stopped.
And so, this is what happened now.
Of course, Ulrica couldn't just do nothing, watching the elves seal off the winery that she and her sisters had worked so hard to build for two weeks. She stepped forward and said angrily, "Pearl! Hurry up and stop! The establishment of this distillery is the order of Lord Dain himself, and when Boss Dain returns, even Pehin will not be able to escape responsibility! β
She said it quite harshly, but in front of Pearl, there was no deterrent.
Pearl still had that indifferent face, and said: "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, get out of here quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being polite!" β
Ulrica was quite angry, and looked at her as if she was going to rush up and stop Pearl herself. But her actions don't come true, and he is pulled from behind by Tommy, the clever ghost.
The woman from the plateau has a very strong temperament. She struggled to break free of Tommy's hand and said, "Let go of me!" Tommy, you let go of me! I'm going to have to ask these arrogant elves for an explanation! β
Tommy is a thief himself, and he is not good at fighting, and he has little strength, and he seems to be very hard under Ulrika's constant struggle.
But Tommy didn't dare to let go of his hand, looking at Pearl's indifferent look, if Ulrika rushed up, I am afraid that these elves might really kill him.
He chimed into Ulrika's ear and said, "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Things have not yet reached the point where they cannot be solved, the winery is gone, and the key is that people can't have problems. You're still there, and the winery can be built at any time. Now, the key is to keep you and your sisters safe. Don't force yourself with these elves, let's go, let's go find Faro. β
Under Tommy's persuasion, Ulrika finally quieted down. Although she still looked at the elves with hatred, she didn't continue to live and die.
"That's the good choice." Pearl said, "I'm glad you didn't do anything stupid. General Pehince has no intention of being an enemy of Lord Dain, and we are grateful to the Divine Messenger for bringing us Orinedus, and the elves of Orinedu will always be the strongest allies of Lord Dain. But, after all, this is a land belonging to the elves, and there are elves with their own laws, and we do not accept anything that violates the traditions of the elves, and we cannot accept a human as our master. In the future, Ghost Knife Harbor is human, Orinen is elf, as long as we respect each other, I believe we can live together on the island of Komya. β
Tommy almost couldn't help but scold, Pearl said it so annoyingly!
A group of refugees who were taken in by Dane from the sea, and after only a few days of stable life, they wanted to occupy the magpie's nest, and they said 'what is human to human, and what is elf to elves', and what to say 'mutual non-aggression and mutual coexistence', isn't this nonsense?
It's just that sometimes the power is stronger than people, and the hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, if he really falls out with Pearl at the moment, that ranger with two squads of a tenth-level master is not something that Tommy can compete, he can only choose to swallow his anger.
Under the watchful eye of the Elven Rangers, Tommy and Ulrica gathered more than thirty female workers in the distillery. The female workers also looked disgruntled, but no one dared to say anything under the threat of the rangers' bows and arrows.
With Pearl's words, "You can go." Tommy can only take Ulrika and the female workers and leave the winery together.
β¦β¦
"Pehins, if you do this, you will anger the Divine Envoy! When the time comes, if a bloody conflict breaks out, will you be able to take this responsibility?! β
Cecilia angrily questioned her long-time friend standing in front of her, she had already seen the contradiction between Pehince and Dane, but she never thought that her long-time friend would directly command the ranger troops to do the matter of sealing the winery without communicating with her.
The Ranger General, who was standing in front of him, said with a resolute face: "It's been almost half a month since we arrived on the island, and in these days, you still can't see that Dane is not a divine envoy at all?" If he was really an oracle, he would do so many things that violated elven traditions? You see, making those disgusting liquor out of the Moon Well, and cultivating farmland around the Moon Well, is this what the Divine Decree should do? β
She paused, and said with determination, "I must make Orinedu a true elven pure land, not controlled by a human!" β
