Chapter Thirty-Eight: Mage Dining
"Would this Dinen mage mind if a human lives in his house? I've heard that most elves don't like humans. Xiao Chen walked on the elf street, looking at the curious and repulsive eyes of the elves around him and asked.
"The other elves might be like that, but Dineh...... No. As long as you don't get scared of him. β
"Huh?" Xiao Chen was a little strange, why was Elaina's expression a little sorry?
Dineen's dwelling was also under the canopy of the World Tree, not far from the location of the Elven Temple. As a high-level peak mage, his treehouse was large, with several floors. occupies the top and bottom of a large tree.
When Elaina took Xiao Chen to the door of Dining's house, she happened to meet an elven mage who was returning home from outside.
"Elaine!" Dinen was a tall, thin elf, with a handsome face, but unlike the other elves, whose hair was a deep shade of green, his hair was red. His temperament is also very different from those other elves, as if as hot as hair, he looked very excited when he saw Elaina, rushed up and hugged her, "Great, I heard them say that you went to the human world to practice, and then encountered danger, and when I knew the news and was about to go to you, there was news that you were rescued and want to continue to stay in the human world." Just then, something happened here...... The elders asked me to solve the problem, and I couldn't get there. β
"Wait, wait. Elaine pushed Dinen away, her face flushed, "I'm fine, isn't it normal to go out and practice for a year or two and not come back?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. Dinen smiled, "But I'm really happy to see you back, after all, we are children of the same spring." β
"This is Dineh, he and I are elves who grew from the World Tree in the same year, and our relationship is like that of human brother and sister. Elaina introduced to Xiao Chen. He said to Dinein: "This is Xiao Chen, the high-ranking mage of the Tower of China, and he is the one who rescued me from the slave camp at that time. This time I have something very important to talk about with our elven kingdom. β
"Go into the house and tell me. Dineen led them to the door, and the door to the treehouse opened automatically.
Dinein's room has a typical mage style, and the dΓ©cor is simple, but there are many bookshelves from the moment you enter the door, and all kinds of books are somewhat haphazardly stacked on the shelves, tables and chairs in the room, and even on the floor.
Similarly, the reception room on the second floor is also a sea of books. With a wave of his hand, a book flew up from his chair and on the floor, forming a phalanx in groups, then stacked on top of each other and piled up in the corner.
The three of them sat down in the reception room, Di Ning looked at Xiao Chen with a scrutinizing eye, and said: "A high-level mage of this age has good talents, although he has lost a little weight, but it is in line with the aesthetics of elves. Hmm, are you Elaina's suitor or 'good friend'?"
Xiao Chen's heart was shocked, is this the rhythm of being jealous? He said embarrassedly: "You misunderstood, I don't have such a relationship with Elaina. β
"Isn't it neither?" Dinein's tone actually carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "Isn't a noble, beautiful and gentle elf like Elaine the dream lover of many human minds?"
"Miss Elaine, of course, is good. But I already have someone I love. Xiao Chen said confusedly.
"Dining, that's enough, if you keep talking, I'm going to be angry. Elaina said with a dark face.
"Okay, okay. Di Ning still looked Xiao Chen up and down, "It's just that I think it's a pity." β
"Ignore him! Dineen has always been a staunch supporter of the theory of blood mixing. Elaine rubbed her forehead and explained, "He has always believed that elves and humans are a race with their own characteristics. If you can combine the best of both races, you will create a race that is bound to be stronger than the original two. β
"So, does he want you to ...... with me" Xiao Chen couldn't help laughing.
"That's right, he desperately wants me to marry a human. In this way, he has new research material. β
Di Ning put his hand on Xiao Chen's shoulder and said solemnly, "It's true, my human brother. You see, the elves live a long life, but they don't want to make progress. Human beings have a short but ambitious life, and when the two are combined, it would be great to have a long-lived and dynamic race. I could list a lot of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and if you look closely, you will find that elves and humans are really two races that complement each other. Bloodline mixing is the perfect solution. β
"But, isn't there a race of half-elves?" Xiao Chen asked, and Cole, who was under Kalanda, was a half-elf.
"Half-elves are a good race, but most of these half-elves born in the past have problems, and often only some elves who are not strong and have ordinary blood will intermarry with humans. But I think that in order to create a strong race, it is necessary to combine the strong with the strong. Dinen said in a sworn tone, "So, I will definitely marry a human powerhouse as a wife." β
"Alright, alright. You know what? That's why the elders never let you go through it. Elaina said, "I'm going to go to the priesthood and ask about the weakening of the World Tree. Do you know anything about that?"
Speaking of the World Tree, Dining's expression also became serious: "Sure enough, it is the child closest to the World Tree, I guessed that you would find this." In fact, half a year ago, the elders discovered this problem, and they asked me to study this matter. In the past six months, the weakening of the World Tree has become more and more obvious, but we have not made any progress. However, just two weeks ago, the Dark Elves of the Underground made some discoveries that had been reported to the Council of Elders. You can ask your teacher for details. β
"I'm about to go, I hope you can settle Master Xiao Chen. Elaine said.
"There was nothing wrong with that. I feel like I have a lot to talk about with Master Xiao Chen, whether it's magic or something else. Di Ning showed an excited expression, he seemed to be interested in a living human high-level mage, "You may not know, it may be a wise choice for you to bring Xiao Chen here now. I think maybe the elders will need him. β
"What's going on?" said Elaina, puzzled.
"The elders are recruiting masters of non-elven races through secret channels. The requirement is that the strength is just high-level. Di Ning turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Your Excellency Xiao Chen, no matter what your purpose of coming to the Elven Kingdom is, this is a good opportunity to establish friendship with the elders. β
