Chapter 107: The Water of Stormhaven (Thanks to Alliance Leader yf533)
In the early morning of Stormhaven, the fog was similarly thick.
The damp water vapor from the sea, with its fishy smell, permeates every space in the streets and alleys of the city.
Elle Curtis β a name that many people may have forgotten β let's recall, the Peacock, the Rank 11 Bard, the stealth expert caught by Shen Yan with the Sky Dancing Shield, the theater bankrupt, and the fifth of the Big Four in Green Horn...... He also hated the same taste as sea fish.
Curtis had just jumped out of a courtyard wall, and as he tidied up his clothes belt, he cursed in a low voice at the husband of the mistress of the mansion and the morning fog.
This fishy sea fog seeped into his clothes, and he couldn't meet all day long - in Stormwind, noble people never go out before 12 o'clock, before the fog has been steamed dry - because the lack of fishy smell is one of the important differences between them and the poor people of Minato, who hate fishy smells.
However, if you go back 20 years, you will find that the group of big businessmen who are now high up are actually no different from those in Minato Ward. Back then, Stormhaven was a stinky fishing port, and it smelled the same as it does today. Today, Stormwind and Stormhaven have become the land of wealth and dreams of the entire peninsula, and the huge wealth has quickly completed the division and tearing of the classes.
Curtis has only been in Stormwind for more than a month, and is already in the aristocratic circle...... The circle of ladies was very prosperous, and even he got acquainted with many nobles and successfully purchased a brig and supplies.
With the exception of being stuck in bed like today, the aristocrats were not averse to having people mingle with their wives, and the confusion of physical relations was part of the aristocratic social circle...... Curtis let out a cursing spurt at the air, then suddenly stopped and turned his gaze across the street.
Over there, there was a beggar in rags, staring at him.
"You're stalking me?" Curtis walked over and said unpleasantly.
"Of course! Who knows if you'll betray us? You've been fooling around with those people all day, don't think I don't know! The beggar said angrily that he was still a teenager, but he had a wolf-like gaze.
Curtis wanted to cover his face regardless of his manners, "I'm working, do you understand work?" This is the working method of the upper class, on his wife! You think I'm happy? I need to clear the relationship, get them to sign the papers, allow us to hire people, allow us to get our own boat, allow us to go to sea...... Instead of us sailing the ship ourselves, we were henceforth registered as pirates and were not allowed to dock in Stormstorm Harbor for the rest of our lives! Do you understand? Damn, I remember you were my student! β
"You're right, teacher." The boy grinned.
Not an orphan will never understand the meaning of home. These orphans, who have just started a home but have to leave, have an even greater sense of belonging than those children in Green Horn. People who leave their country love their country more than those who still live there, and it has always been.
"Teacher, I'm here to tell you important news...... "The young man quickly rolled up the dirty clothes he was wearing, revealing the clothes of the shopkeeper below, and followed Curtis half a step behind. Someone is asking around in Stormhaven for news of the sage, it's a group of elves, should we get out of here quickly? β
Shen ...... Speech? Curtis was surprised to say the somewhat awkward name.
"Yes! I heard with my own ears that they were looking for someone to ask for the name. As he spoke, the boy stared at the expression on Curtis's face, revealing that wolf-like gaze again. It was as if as long as the peacock showed a hint of hesitation, he would burst into flames!
"Okay, okay, you don't want that...... There is no way I can betray Sage Shen...... Are you really my student? Curtis smiled wryly.
As an old fritter who doesn't keep his hands, of course he has no discipline to speak of. But he will never forget the scene when Shen Yan suddenly appeared in his room the night before leaving. The idler, who never said a word harshly, didn't say a word that day, just cut Curtis's dagger into a thin plate of sashimi with his fingernails. Curtis swore that since then, he has never had the idea of escaping!
"I'm really your student, teacher." The boy turned into a harmless laughing boy again, revealing two rows of white teeth.
He also deliberately opened his pocket to show Curtis, who contained at least half a handful of copper and a few silver coins, and walked with a loud noise. "This is the money I made from performing at the pier. Those who hold the sword of kings will unite the peninsula and put an end to the ...... of the demon tide', they really like to listen to this lyrics. Teacher, those people don't even have enough to eat every day, why do they still want the reunification of the peninsula so much? β
Hearing the question, Curtis also fell into deep thought for a while, "yes, why? β
When he returned to his accommodation, before Curtis could go back to catch up on his sleep, he met two groups of guests who came directly to visit without an appointment, but he couldn't refuse!
The first wave was two elves, holding the emblem of the goddess of the silver moon and swaggering in!
"Half-elf Eller Curtis, have you ever seen this person, please answer honestly under the gaze of the goddess!" One of the elves asked, holding the portrait, and she looked at Curtis like she was looking at something dirty...... Few people know that Curtis has a quarter of the elven bloodline, and even he has forgotten about it, so he knows that someone will come to the door today with the emblem!
Fortunately, Curtis inquired before entering the door that the followers of the moon god were on a rampage in Stormhaven, catching city elves and half-elves everywhere to inquire that he was nothing more than a pond fish.
"Well, I don't know!" Curtis looked at the portrait carefully for a long time, and then replied with certainty - Of course I don't know, Shen Yanchang is only a little worse than me, who is this ugly guy you painted?!
"Remember your answer!" After leaving a threat, the elf swaggered away.
"This is an elf?" The boy who accompanied him back asked in disbelief - all he had seen in Minato were city elves and half-elves tormented by poverty. In his heart, he always thought that elves should be Shen Yan's kind, a race that is a little happy and funny, but charming. But the two elves I saw today looked like they were tall with straight faces, even if they looked good, their noses were about to go to the sky!
"No, it should be said...... This is the elf! Curtis replied, "It's the first time I've seen Shen Yan's version of the elf."
Originally, according to normal people's thinking, although the peninsula is isolated from the world, it should still be able to communicate with the mainland through the channel of God. But since the Penglin Peninsula was cut off, the gods of this world seem to have given up on this place, and only the goddess of the silver moon has answered the prayers of the high elves of the elvesβthis can make those elves terrible!
Now even if the Silver Moon Goddess ** splits, the domineering power of the pure-blood elves is still undiminished.
