Chapter 2: The Silver-Haired Elf
"How can this be?" Ryan yelled at Magna's story, "If the elves go to war against us humans in the future, what position are we going to put ourselves in? ”
"yes, Ryan was right." Several people next to him also began to echo, and a solemn look appeared on their faces.
"You don't have to worry about that at all, how could the human representatives who negotiated at that time not think of it." Magna shook her head, and continued, "It's not impossible, and the agreement says we can disobey those rules in such cases; On the other hand, the mages who go to Kadore to study can not only gain orthodox magical knowledge; And the elves also promise to increase our lifespan. ”
"Will the elves share their eternity with us?"
Not only Ryan, but the others became very confused, because the elves were notoriously conservative in this regard. There have been human kings who have paid this attention, but most of them have been annihilated by the wrath of the elves.
"There are many limitations, just prolonging our life is not sharing eternity with us; The longest lived only a thousand years. And all of us are given a kind of magic to ensure that what we learn is not passed on, and although we are called "guardians" in human society, to them we are just another kind of spare property, doing work that may not be convenient for them. Magna said as she lowered her head slightly and ran forward a few steps, listening to her say that everyone looked a little lonely.
Silent for a moment, Ryan didn't ask any more and quickly followed Magna; The noise of the harbor came and went, and they just walked and admired the elven city.
"These two statues are truly magnificent, and the elves' artistic attainments are truly breathtaking!"
From time to time, we arrived at the central square of the city, as the old capital of Aizarin, the city was restored with more care, although it was not as good as the former, the square was still decorated to show the elegance and magnificence unique to the upper elves. Clear fountains, manicured gardens. There is also a marble statue. Among them, the two huge marble statues in the center of the square are the most eye-catching. The accompanying teenagers were all in praise for the first time.
"That's true, although I've heard my guru mention it before; However, seeing the real thing is still shocking. Egwene nodded as well, and continued, "As you can guess, this is the twin kings of Cadore. The few demigods in the entire Azeroth can feel their own demeanor just by looking at the charm of the sculpture itself. ”
"The little girl of mankind is very knowledgeable, very good." Saying this, a silver-haired elf man who was in the square turned his head to look at Egwen. Then he glanced at the others and nodded at Egwene, "These two statues are still good, but they are far worse than Cabreais's. The statue of Queen Cabrath was the work of our King Dawnheart, and such a clumsy work cannot be compared. The silver-haired elf snorted softly, obviously not satisfied with the craftsmanship of the two statues.
"Thank you for the compliment, my name is Magna. Egwen. Egwene nodded to the elven man as well, and gave a standard elven salute. To be honest, Egwen was a little surprised by the elven man's accosting, and the elves generally disdain to communicate with humans, and it is rare for such an initiative to talk. The elven man who accosted him had long silver hair, and his facial features were extremely delicate, notably his eyes; There is a golden halo in his dark green eyes, and if you look closely, you will notice that his appearance is somewhat similar to the two statues in the center of the square.
"Just call me Morrowind." The silver-haired elf said as he put his left hand on his chest and bowed slightly, "I see that you are magic exchange students sent by the Human Kingdom, right?" ”
"Yes. We're all sent by the Magical Society. Without waiting for Egwene to speak, Ryan stepped forward and answered first.
"At first glance, they are a group of people who pretend to be superior to other people." As he spoke, the silver-haired elf man glanced at the other exchange students again, and then said, "It's still the same as last time, it's all your nobles who came. It's been more than 4,000 years, and your race still can't be understood by me, and it's still the same social system that we eliminated 10,000 years ago. You seem to have a natural habit of bullying your own kind, and I find it strange that you have continued to this day. ”
"I feel that your opinion is a bit one-sided, and the development of human society naturally has our own rules. Maybe what you think is the shortcomings that are the reason why our short-lived race has survived to this day, you say? Egwen smiled slightly. She could not object to the elven man's words. However, human beings are originally such a race, and she can indeed answer without humility or arrogance until now.
"Well, well! Your answer is interesting. It's the most unique insight I've ever heard. The silver-haired elf said in deep thought, then shook his head and looked at Egwene, saying, "Your answer is worth thinking about. And I wish you a happy life in Cadore, and I am sure that you will find a lot of what you are looking for here. With that, the silver-haired elf shook his head and snapped his fingers, and disappeared in place with a flash of light.
"Is this teleportation magic? I've never seen teleportation magic cast so fast, it's like 'Flash'! Watching the silver-haired elf disappear, Ryan exclaimed first.
"It seems that the magicians of Kadore are indeed powerful! It's so powerful to come across any one," several other exchange students around him echoed and nodded.
"No," Egwene shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Egwene's interruption made several people a little curious.
"The elves just now are all magisters. How could it be a casual elven magician. As he spoke, Egwen began to explain, "Have you noticed that he looks a little like this statue?" As he spoke, Egwen gestured to the sculpture in the center of the square.
"Really? I saw that the elves all looked similar, and there was a difference in hair color. Ryan said and smiled.
"As soon as you say it, it's a bit like that. Could it be that he is the king of Kadore? The exchange student took a careful look at the statue and nodded, then said, "Probably not!" If he's the king, it's not early to fry. ”
Of course not, there was a look of adoration in his eyes when he mentioned King Kadore. Does anyone worship themselves? Egwene shook his head. Preparing the following.
"Maybe he's more narcissistic. Anyway, it's an elf with nostrils on the door of his head, look at how energetic he was just now. Ryan interrupted Egwen, scratching his chin.
"I mean, it's possible that he's the son of the two kings in the previous story; Prince Dawn, who said that he had spent more than 4,000 years thinking about mankind, and the time was just right; But it's hard to say, I'm just guessing. It stands to reason that he should still be imprisoned by the queen and cannot get out. ”
"You're amazing!" Ryan sighed, then looked at Egwen and said with a smile: "When I inherit the throne in the future, I will definitely make you my Minister of Justice, you are definitely the material for this." ”
"The Minister of Justice was embarrassed to say, "Come to our country." I'm sure you'll be a duchess. As Ryan spoke, several others began to gag as well.
It was at this time that several knights, who had gone to arrange lodging, returned, reporting that they had found a suitable place to live.
Egwene shook his head and said; "We'd better hurry to the inn and rest, we'll have to go tomorrow." A few gentlemen don't mind if I quit first. With that, Egwene moved first and walked with the knight who had arranged for the hotel to return. (To be continued......)
