Chapter 70: Disputes
The Terran nobleman fiddled with the corners of his clothes with his hands, and from time to time his eyes ran towards a dark little corner next to the tree elf bar, where a charming figure sat in that corner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He had a glass of colorful elven wine in his hand, and his steps were a little messy around the back, as if he wanted to do something to hide his anxious look, and his eyes pretended to linger on the stream beside him, as if he were just an ordinary guest attracted by the crisp sound of the stream.
Listening to the natural murmuring of water, he wandered around a few times and found that no matter which angle he walked to his back, no matter which direction he was in the back, he could not see the true face hidden under the hair. When the ice cubes in the elven wine in his hand were almost melted, he gave up his boring actions like an egg thief and sat down on the small yellow rosewood stool.
He silently prepared the words of accosting in his heart, secretly brushed the corners of his clothes with his hands, and then straightened the tie inside his coat, and after reluctantly squeezing out a noble C-shaped smile on his face, he leaned forward, leaned behind the female elf, and said softly:
"Hello, my name is Owen......"
Owen stared at the charming back, expecting her to be attracted by what he thought was a magnetic voice, but was surprised to see a man in the white mage robe of a first-year freshman of the Truth Academy, standing in front of the back.
"Hello, my name is Xu Mo." The freshman stood in front of the elf and said with a smile.
"What are you doing!" Owen stood up with a bang.
"She's the first thing I saw! Boy in white robes, you pay attention to me! Owen's duck voice exploded next to the elf, causing both of them to watch Owen's rude behavior.
White robes? Xu Mo paused for a moment, and later found out that this impolite Terran nobleman was referring to himself, because the school uniform of the Truth Academy has strict rules, and first-year freshmen are only allowed to wear white robes to attend classes in the academy, so Xu Mo had no choice but to buy a mage robe made of white dragon lord's skin and wear it on his body, looking like an ordinary first-year freshman.
"She's the first thing you saw, what's wrong? Everyone is here to drink together, is there still a priority, can't the three of us talk together? Xu Mo looked at this rude stranger in surprise.
"Are you playing dumb? How many people can you still be with? Isn't this kind of tree elf just to give those arrogant-looking cheap goods a nice name to sell? ”
"You don't weigh how many pounds and taels you have, just the poor freshman mage robe on your body, and you are embarrassed to rob me of a woman?"
It seemed to be irritated by Xu Mo's indifferent attitude, and Owen, who claimed to be a Terran nobleman, shouted uncontrollably, as if he wanted to use this method to make Xu Mo feel afraid.
Xu Mo didn't speak, and looked at the annoyed Owen with a sneer. He turned and walked to a large tree on the side, his right hand gently touching the rough bark.
Turning around again, the arrogant Owen was gone, leaving only a dead branch from where he had been standing. Xu Mo knew in his heart that this self-proclaimed noble guy had been forcibly dragged outside by the tree man guards, but the strength of the tree man was far beyond his estimate, and he could take away inappropriate guests quietly.
"Why do you want to use white dragon skin as a material for a mage's robe, it's cruel." The elf girl turned around, her big watery eyes staring at Xu Mo, making his heart tremble suddenly.
It's beautiful.
Xu Mo only had this word left in his heart.
"I heard grandpa and grandma say that one hundred and four thousand four hundred and sixty-one years ago, there were still many little dragons in our forest, but then because of human hunting, there were fewer and fewer dragons in the forest, and now I can rarely play with dragons." The green eyes seem to be as deep and agile as the endless forest sea among the mountains, pure and reminiscent of a pool of green water.
"Do you know Beamon? They heard that they specialize in eating dragons, you must hate Beamon, right? Xu Mo asked with a smile.
"Nope! I haven't met Beamon yet, but I don't hate dragon-eating animals! The elf seemed to have thought of something, gritted her teeth, and shook her head like a rattle.
"Why? They also made clothes out of dragon skin. ”
"Because it's ...... The laws of nature! We can't beat Beamon just because he eats the dragon, or Beamon will starve to death! The elf girl blinked, and there was a lazy and sweet look in her voice.
"Beamon also uses dragon skin for clothes, and I also use dragon skin for clothes, so of course my behavior is also a natural law!" Xu Mo sat on the yellow rosewood bench on the side, looked at the elf girl's clear eyes, and said with a smile.
"I don't think it's a living life when I buy the dragon skin, it's just a commodity, just like you elven girls sitting by the stream are just a commodity in the eyes of people of other races."
"What are you kidding, how can it be cargo that I'm sitting here making friends with you?" She said in surprise.
"For those of us who live outside the world of flowers, it costs a lot of money to enter this place, only the elite can enter here and have the opportunity to talk to you, this kind of thing that needs to cost money to get, not what is the goods?" Xu Mo asked with a smile, he found that he liked talking to this pure elf a little, he was not tired at all, but he had a refreshing feeling.
"That's how you treat us." The female elf said with some frustration.
"And what kind of existence do you think the tree elves are?"
"The elven elder said that the times are different now, our elven race is no longer the most powerful race, in the past, we could let other people get used to our way, but now we can only try to have as much contact with outsiders as possible to find a balance between the two habits."
"We elves all think it's a good place. A lot of people who have never met before are here for a ceremony with us. ”
"A ritual?" Xu Mo was very curious about this word.
"Isn't this kind of communication between men and women alone a holy ceremony, and it is a sacred moment for one-on-one people to be able to speak openly and share their own stories."
Her heavenly voice made Xu Mo's heart tremble, he had never thought that the same thing would have a completely different explanation in the eyes of the two races.
A frivolous retreat?
A holy ritual?
In the past, he had only heard that the elves had the purest minds in the world, and after seeing the elves who were mixed in the market, Xu Mo only had a silent mockery of this statement, but now that the elf who really came out of the forest was sitting in front of him, he felt that the widely circulated statement could not be more accurate.
The elves have the purest minds in the world.
Xu Mo silently repeated it in his heart.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Bailey, Baili Scott." Her green eyes seemed to be able to speak, which fascinated Xu Modu.
