Humans are a greedy and shameless race.

This kind of cognition is not the conclusion that the elves took out of context, it is the conclusion that has dealt with humans for thousands of years, countless elves have suffered in the hands of humans in history, the elves have a long lifespan, and most of their characters are weak and simple, without too much pursuit, so until now the elf society has maintained the socio-economic habit of bartering.

The character of the elves leads them to use their own situation to deduce humans, a priceless gem, the elves will think it is a good decoration, but there is no need to risk it or do something out of the ordinary, and this gem is worth the lives of most humans, based on cognitive differences, elves have been deceived and betrayed by humans countless times.

Even if the elven race living in the Farr Forest gradually declined, this ancestral precept is still deeply rooted in the bones of the elves and is praised as common sense, ordinary elves are strictly forbidden to contact human society, and only selected special elves can reach cooperation with the human chamber of commerce in the depths of the Farr Forest and exchange materials.

Isabella and Isabelli are one of the elves responsible for exchanging supplies with humans, and one day a staff member of the Human Chamber of Commerce accidentally put what he was carrying on the carriage transporting supplies when exchanging materials, and was found by Isabella, who was sorting out the supplies.

Although the elves despise humans, they maintain a high level of recognition for the artistic civilization created by humans, just as even a poisonous swamp can bloom luminite. (Luminite is a precious potion ingredient that grows only in swamps, glows at night, and has a detoxifying effect.)

As an elf in charge of material exchange, Isabella can easily grasp the language of humans through magic, so she can also read the written word.

Elves also have words and their own unique culture, most of the literature created by elves are poems that praise the beauty of nature, a small number of prose, long is not nothing, just because the character of the elves creates long prose more similar to intermittent prose, the structure is scattered, there is no clear main plot, most of them depict the trivial matters of elves' daily life or are educational.

What is it like to be human?

Isabella had this idea for the first time when she saw the strange cover, and she vividly remembered the strange look of the cover at that time, which was a painting of a destitute prisoner and a richly dressed but melancholy man, expressing strong feelings that were diametrically opposed to the artistic habits of the elves.

In the corner of the banquet hall, Isabella held her chin and looked at Harvey with a longing face, her appearance seemed to the others in the banquet hall to be a middle-aged aunt who was a nymphomaniac, "That is Mr. Adrian, although it is different from what I imagined, I am still quite an excellent author." ”

"Where did you see that, I only saw that he was an evil human spellcaster!"

Isabelli was not angry, and several times she wanted to hand over this book to the elven elders on the grounds of rules, but Isabella suppressed it as a sister.

"Hey, looking back, I really should have destroyed that book even if I was beaten by my sister." Isabelle closed her eyes and let out a silent sigh as she recalled the memory of that time.

······

The elven settlement [Ashra], hidden in the depths of the Farr Forest by a huge magic array, is protected from the invasion of human and forest beasts, here is full of big trees that cover the sky and the sun, even if dozens of people hug each other, they can't measure the thickness of the trunk, most of the elves' wooden houses are built on these tree trunks, criss-crossing wooden stairs connect different places, looking like an aerial attic built on the trunk.

Isabella lay in a hammock made of vines and curiously flipped the accidental human, her fingertips stroking the portrait of the person drawn on the cover, and wonderingly said to herself: "Who is this?" Unexpectedly, mankind has developed the art of decorating books with portraits. ”

Isabelli was angry about what her sister had done, and hesitated, "Sister, this is not good. ”

Isabella waved her hand indifferently: "What's the matter?" It's just a literary reading for human beings, and it's not really about human beings, so understanding human ideas through literature is also beneficial to our work, isn't it? ”

"The Elders have stipulated that it is not allowed to bring human things into Ashra without permission."

Isabella grinned and said, "It's only the two of us who are in charge of exchanging supplies this time, and no one will know if you don't say it, or do you want to disobey your sister as a younger sister?" Hmph, in this case, I won't pick fruit for you in the future, and I won't cook for you. ”

"Okay~Good~Good~ It's up to you, say it in advance, I don't care if I am discovered by other elves." In desperation, Isabelli went back to her bed and stretched, and lay down on the bed after using her magic to cleanse the filth from her body.

"Thank you, worthy of my sister."

As the sky darkened, a few bouquets of flowers growing on the roof slowly spread their bodies, blooming into a bouquet of flowers that emitted a soft white light to illuminate the treehouse.

Isabelli watched her sister curiously flip through the human book, and she didn't know when she closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, the bouquet of illuminated flowers blooming on the roof was curled up, and Isabella saw that her sister was still flipping through the human book, and from the thickness of the pages she had flipped through, Isabella must have not slept all night. Isabelli felt incredible, yesterday they were in charge of exchanging supplies with humans, just arranging the magic array to prevent accidents consumed a lot of their energy, although Isabella as an older sister was more mentally strong, but she should be as exhausted as usual.

Isabella yawned from time to time, but her eyes did not take her eyes off the human for a moment, and at that time Isabella had a faint feeling as if she had made a fatal mistake.

For a while after that, every time Isabelli came back, she could see her sister holding the book, and even after reading it, she didn't know how many times she had turned it, but she was still happy to do so, sometimes with urgency, sometimes with relief, sometimes with a smirk.

Isabelle could only comfort herself that Isabella's enthusiasm passed quickly, and it was not a big deal.

Just as she thought, Isabella lost her enthusiasm half a month after reading it, and the worn-out book was treasured.

However, during an exchange of supplies with humans, Isabella brought back several humans, presumably secretly making a deal with a human merchant, and heard a magical device called "Phantom" from a human merchant.

After that, Isabelli couldn't control the situation at all, and when Isabella finished reading it again, she applied to the elven elders to go to human society for training, and considering the deterioration of Ashra's environment, the elves were late to make large-scale contact with humans.

Unable to let go of her sister, Isabelli had no choice but to accompany her sister to hide her identity and wander in human society, and her destination was the holy place "Elroy City" in Isabella's mind. Coincidentally, when I had just arrived in Elroy City on a steam train, I heard the news about this farewell banquet, and the two elven sisters used low-level psychic suggestion spells to easily blend in, so this scene happened.
