Chapter Seventy-Six: Do You Want to Make a Bet?

The fact that his mother was a normal human and his father was an elf meant that Pete was destined to be a half-human, half-elf half-breed.

On the continent of Erathia, marriages between different races are rare, or rather, not recognized by the world, which is an act of deviance.

A half-breed like Pete is a beast of prey in the eyes of ordinary people, and from the moment he is born, he has to endure strange eyes and differential treatment from his surroundings.

Pete is certainly no exception.

Although her mother is a native of Hammondal, she is ostracized by other locals because of her elf husband.

As a child, Pete couldn't find any playmates at first, and all the children avoided this strange child with unusual pointed ears and strange pupils at a distance under the instructions of their parents, who looked at him with curiosity and disgust, and talked about him with terrible words that they imagined out of thin air.

At that time, the only thing Pete could use to relieve his boredom was a small wooden bow that his father made for him to play with.

Fortunately, little Pete has a cheerful and optimistic mother, and under the influence of his mother, little Pete is equally cheerful and optimistic, and has not become withdrawn because of the rejection of other children.

On the contrary, he would always show the children a kind smile.

Slowly, some curious children began to sneak up on him behind their parents' backs, began to talk and play with him, and when they found out that this peer who looked different from them was actually not as scary as the legend said, little Pete began to have friends of his own.

Even so, Pete grew up in an environment where he was snubbed and ridiculed.

His circle of friends is also limited to some young people who are hot-blooded and impulsive and like martial arts.

As a result, he longed for himself to move to the forests of Tulaone, believing that the elves might be able to accept him.

This situation lasted until the lord appeared.

The half-elf, who grew up in the strange eyes around him and was extremely sensitive to other people's eyes, talked to the lord face to face for the first time, and found that the eyes of the lord looking at him did not have the kind of contempt and disdain that he was familiar with and could no longer be familiar, but only curiosity and kindness.

Aside from his parents, Lord Lord was the first to truly appreciate Pete, a half-elf.

The lord not only let him join the lord's guard, but also made him his personal guard for a time, and finally after discovering his ability, he unexpectedly promoted him to the position of captain of the guard.

The lord didn't seem to care about Pete's half-human, half-elf bloodline, he was not only kind to the half-elf, but also trusted. Pete could feel that the lord treated him no different than everyone else, and that feeling of treating everyone equally made the half-elf so pleasant.

Pete, who had only wanted to take this opportunity to escape from his father's control, and then find a way to leave and go to the forests of Tulaleone, was so relieved to stay in the lord's guard.

A woman is a person who pleases herself, and a person who is a confidant dies.

After the elven spy incident, Pete, who saw the face of the elves clearly and understood what would happen to him if he went to Turalea, was even more determined to stay in the lord's hands.

Now the humans who are quarreling because of the big-eared monsters' demands have caused the half-elves' wounds to start dripping blood again.

Although the Erathian Empire did not openly exclude other races from living in the Empire, xenophobia was quite obvious.

Leaving aside how many non-human races there are in the empire, in addition to the powerful angel races in the imperial army, the establishment of all human soldiers can explain a lot.

Even in the important air force, humans used their own domesticated griffins.

Why did the empire's former colony, Tytalia, become independent at every opportunity? Speaking of which, it is also because of the Empire's rejection of the non-human swamp natives.

This made Pete can't help but suspect that if he didn't ask to join in the same way as the big-eared monsters because the lord was blue eyed at him, he didn't know if he would also be strongly opposed by these people.

I think it will, right? Pete smiled bitterly in his heart, although the half-elf has half human blood, it must not be a pure-blooded human after all, and it is inevitable that he will be ostracized.

And among the opponents is Master Ash Temple, whom the lord has always respected, and the captain of the half-elf guard thinks that the lord will definitely not accept these big-eared monsters.

Although he wanted to speak for the big-eared monsters, in order not to embarrass the lord, the half-elf finally chose to remain silent.

Unexpectedly, the lord finally asked him about his head, and pointed out the root cause of why he didn't express his opinion.

The Half-Elven Guard Captain fell silent, not understanding the Lord's intentions.

"Speak your mind! Peter! Seeing that his guard captain lowered his head and didn't speak, Jian Chen was a little dissatisfied: "Puff up your chest, half-elf!" Whether a self-conscious, intelligent creature capable of independent thinking is evil or good, whether he should be spurned or respected is not determined by his race and bloodline! Only the inner soul can decide all this! Regardless of race, there is no shortage of good people; Regardless of race, there are shameless villains! ”

After a pause, Jian Chen looked around at the people who were surprised by his remarks, and said loudly again: "Are humans kinder than big-eared monsters?" So why are there scum among us like Helbo and Johnny who betray their compatriots? Are big-eared monsters born evil? Without the bloody battles of these big-eared monsters, many people here, including me, would have died by the elves long ago! In my opinion, these big-eared monsters are much cuter than the likes of Helmbo and Johnny! ”

"So, I've decided to let these big-eared monsters join the Lord's Guard, and let them become a part of the Lord's Guard, and I believe that under my guidance, they will become an important force to defend Hammondale in the future!"

The lord's shocking words and decisions stunned the humans present, but made Orison and the others cheer with joy.

Orisen once again lay on the ground with the great gift of the big-eared monsters when they met the patriarch, and solemnly swore that he would serve Chen Jian as the main and be loyal to Chen Jian forever.

The other big-eared monsters also lay on the ground one after another, swearing to the gods.

The captain of the half-elf guard was also stupid on the spot after the lord's words, but he kept thinking about the lord's words in his mind.

"Your Lord! Are you more cautious......" The female magician wanted to persuade Jian Chen again, but was interrupted by Jian Chen with a wave of his hand.

"Master Temp, I understand everything you said, but this matter is settled, you don't need to persuade me anymore!"

As he spoke, the lord smiled at his personal magic advisor and whispered, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”

The female magician was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful face was full of doubts: "What bet?" ”

"Bet on whether these big-eared monsters will be loyal to me, the daring lord! If I lose, I'll promise you one condition, whatever you want! ”

"I'll see what happens, my lord!" The sorceress sighed, shook her head, and said, "I really don't understand, where did you get so much confidence!" Well, bet on it! If I lose, I will also promise you a condition, and you can mention it as you like! ”
