Chapter 281: Elves
At night, the luxurious mansions in the center of El Roy City are full of El Roy City owners, covering all spheres of politics, business, and social life, and everyone who stomps their feet in El Roy City can cause a small earthquake. The traffic outside the mansion was so busy, the servants were in a hurry to arrange the location of the carriage or the car, and the magnates in the mansion held champagne in their hands, forming their own different circles to toast and talk, and their eyes all looked at the door intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for the protagonist of the banquet.
When the waiter opened the door of the banquet hall again, Diana, dressed in evening dress, and Harvey, dressed in a black suit, walked in arm-in-arm, and the banquet hall let out a shallow whisper, and the fanatical eyes of the ladies and ladies converged on Harvey, covering their mouths with lace folding fans in their hands, and discussing in a low voice.
"That's Mr. Adrian? Oh my God, I'm much younger than I thought, and I heard that tomorrow I'm going to move to Norton to become the Empress's Counselor? ”
"I've seen him before, and at the time I thought he was just a frivolous and useless playboy, and when I saw him talking to Miss Kyle, I thought it was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and I have to say that it changed a lot."
"Haha, do you know, it is said that the eldest lady of the Benson family once rejected Mr. Adrian, it's a pity, if she agreed at that time, the person who holds Mr. Adrian's arm now should be her, she will be sought after by the social world, even if she goes to Norton, she can become a star in the social world, tsk, now she can only hide in her dark room and cry her nose, it's pitiful."
"It's hard to see Mr. Adrian in person, maybe I'll find a space for Mr. Adrian to sign for me when I take a break."
"It's a shame that you can bring these books to the banquet."
Harvey's hearing is keen, and he can hear these ladies discussing gossip in a low voice very clearly, and he suddenly feels crying and laughing, it has been more than a year since he crossed, how can there still be people discussing what he looked like when he didn't cross.
Looking around the banquet hall, Harvey saw many old acquaintances, Baron Avery, who had become the largest jewelry merchant in the city of Elroy, and whose jewelry store had also made a name for himself in Norton. William, the acting president of the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce, no longer needs to be introduced, Harvey's brother-in-law is a rising star in the social circles of Norton and Elroy City, and has attracted much attention. and Garcia, Harvey's former reviewer and now the general manager and reviewer of a major publishing house. Harvey's good friend, Jared, the head of the Innermost Theater in El Roy.
Harvey's gaze swept over them, but lingered for a moment on the two middle-aged women in the banquet hall, a look of surprise in his eyes.
An old man with gray sideburns was the first to come over and greet Harvey: "Ahem, Mr. Adrian, it's a great honor for you to be able to attend the parting banquet that Elroy City has prepared for you. ”
Harvey withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, the blue light in his eyes disappeared, and he smiled and nodded at the old man in front of him: "You have a good reputation, Earl, it is my greatest honor to receive your compliment, and I am glad to have the honor to attend this dinner before leaving the city of Elroy." ”
As the mayor and supreme judge of the city of Elroy, Count Elroy's mood can be described as quite complicated, this city is the city established by the Elroy family with its own fiefdom, but since a year ago, Harvey's influence has gradually surpassed the family that gave the city its name, and it can only barely be regarded as a relatively developed city in the country, relying on the influence of Harvey and Phantom, the economy and fame have jumped to a city second only to the capital Norton.
In the corner of the banquet hall, the two ugly-looking ladies with light makeup and heavy makeup were talking in low voices, as if no one knew them, and no one wanted to talk to them because of their ugly appearance.
However, the image of a middle-aged aunt made a girlish crisp and pleasant voice, and one of them looked at Harvey in the crowd, blushing because he was too excited, and asked cautiously, "How?" ”
The other voice was also young, and she roared in a solemn and angry voice: "There is a magical aura on the body, the ether element fluctuations are weak but very flexible, there should be some high-level magic props, and there is a strong demonic smell on the body!" Unbelievable, Isabella, is this the human writer you reveal? An evil human spellcaster!? ”
Isabella was stunned: "Demon's breath..."
Another woman was categorical: "Yes, this human spellcaster should be a third-rate spellcaster who enslaves demons, and you should know what kind of price you need to pay to enslave demons, maybe those literary works were written by him relying on the power of demons." ”
"Isabelle!" Isabella's eyebrows furrowed, and her voice became stern, as if she was blaming the woman for speaking so harshly.
Isabelli immediately lowered her head and replied, "Well, I won't say anything more." ”
Isabelli gritted her teeth and stared at Harvey in the crowd but helplessly, if her eyes had substance, Harvey would probably be rubbed on the ground with her eyes. Harvey Adrian, the culprit who made her leave the forest where she lived and wandered in human society, the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo".
In retrospect, she really should have stopped her sister from touching human stuff at that time.
The Farr Forest, located on the border between the Kingdom of Barron and the Duchy of Turner, is famous for its name in both countries, due to the fact that the Farr Forest is one of the most important sources of magical materials, and legend has it that there are elves who live in the depths of the Farr Forest. This may not be a legend to the locals, as every local will pat their chests and swear that they have seen the elves, and then use exaggerated metaphors to depict the elves' beauty.
In fact, even the locals can't see the elves very often, and even if they do, they won't recognize them, because most of the elves are proficient in magic and can easily cast spells to cover their eye-catching appearance, except for some large chambers of commerce, all merchants who are doing magic-related businesses have the opportunity to meet the elves in the local area, and make a deal with them, exchanging human materials for precious magical materials that can only be collected deep in the forest.
Isabelle and Isabella are among the elves who inhabit the Farr Forest.
Deep in the forest of Farr is a small group of elves, not very large, about a hundred elves. Elves are born spellcasters, in other words, the higher the environmental demand for the aether element, from the beginning of the weakening of the aether element in the Western Continent, the elves sensed this and lived in seclusion in the depths of the Farr Forest, where the aether element is most active, where a special magic array was arranged to continue the development of the race.
However, this is only a temporary coping strategy, as the activity of the aether element deteriorates further, the elves have to contact the disgusted humans in order to survive, and make a deal in exchange for survival materials.
Isabella and Isabelli are the younger elves, and they are among the elves in charge of exchanging supplies with the Human Chamber of Commerce.
