As night fell, the branches of the sacred tree swayed gently in the wind.

The streets gradually became less crowded and the lights were lit up all over Cartier. After a busy day, the Blood Elves began to return to their family life one after another.

Angel's mother lit the oil lamp that lit it.

At the edge of the dining table, Angel was eating silently with his head down.

On the other side, Angel's father stared at his son while eating.

His hands didn't stop, he kept tearing the bread and putting it in his mouth, but those eyes stared at Angel and his scalp was really numb.

In terms of appearance, Angel's father Corry looks exactly like his brother Andrew, and in the dim light, he can't even tell that they are actually two people. But figuratively, it's much worse.

Andrew has always had long black hair, while Curry has short black hair. In stature, Andrew is tall, and Curry is burly. There is also a big difference in clothing.

In Angel's memory, his brother Andrew has always been wearing mage robes, no matter what color, in short, it must be mage robes. Except for the night he was about to flee. That night, Andrew, who appeared in front of Angel, was wearing a black casual dress that he had never seen before.

And his father Curry wears short-sleeved casual clothes every day, and there are often traces of mud on his hands and clothes.

Corry is a gardener.

In Logotsenne, a gardener is a better profession. Of course, it's just that compared to the gardeners of the human world, it's actually not much better. After all, the underlying profession. In addition to pruning flowers like human florists, the blood elf florists also collect special nectar and cultivate magical flowers with special purposes...... In short, relatively high-end. However, despite their involvement in magic, they are not actually magicians and do not perform magic.

How did Cory, who knew no magic at all, give birth to two sons with excellent magical talents?

That's where Angel's mother comes in.

Angel's mother, Debi, used to be a magic apprentice at the Academy of Magic, and is said to have entered with extremely high grades. However, in addition to her excellent talent, she is also a "bad girl", because she is young and ignorant, her studies are wasted, and she finally did not graduate, but graduated. In a way, Andrew's rebellious personality was also inherited from his mother.

After graduating, Debbie remained unrepentant, as she could perform some simple magic, and her income was actually higher than that of an ordinary, conscientious blood elf. This gave her the capital to continue squandering her youth.

Well...... She eventually succeeded in turning herself from a genius magical girl into an ordinary person, marrying an inconspicuous, honest florist, the father of brothers Andrew and Angel.

Of course, it could also be true love, who knows? That's what Angel's mother said anyway.

As for the later ...... Debbie gave birth to a son. After having a child, she finally decided to repent, and she felt that although her dream was no longer realized, she could still hope for her son. So he desperately cultivated his son. From a very young age, Andrew was trained rigorously, and when he entered the school, he amazed the wizards. Ultimately...... Well, Andrew became the "disgrace of the Blood Elf Mage".

It sounds tragic, Debi's life is like a downward line, and it seems that there will never be a time to stop.

After Andrew left, Debbie returned to her normal life. To this day, she continues to work with magic, living a leisurely life of odd jobs. Actually, it's okay, it's not bad among the blood elves.

If there is anything particularly unpleasant, it is probably that the eldest son who has high hopes defected and was not around, and the younger son was not successful. She never dared to take a step further in her former alma mater. After all, it's a shame.

Andrew could only be regarded as offending the Academy of Magic once, while his mother was offended twice. If I were the dean, I would definitely put this family on the blacklist.

"You ......" After a long silence, Corry stared at Angel and whispered in his deep voice, "Hair ......"

Angel hurriedly said: "The fire has been burned!"

"I know. Curry nodded, and then said with a blank face: "The firefighting is very good, which shows that you are brave." But you should also pay attention to safety. Also, I would say that you don't have hair and no eyebrows, and although it's only for a short period of time, it should be groomed a little bit. Others will be very unaccustomed to looking at it. ”

"Good father, I'll wear my hat when I go out. Angel nodded.

"You shouldn't encourage him to do such dangerous things. Mother Debi took the plate, pulled out a chair and sat down next to her father Cory, and began to eat dinner, casually saying, "He can go to fight the fire this time, and maybe he will do something dangerous next time." ”

"Reputation is important. Turning his face sideways, Corry said to Debi: "If Angel can't pass the preliminary exam this time and can't enter the archery academy, then he will be equivalent to an adult." A little good reputation is always a good thing. ”

"I don't think a good reputation is useful, as long as you don't have a bad reputation. Debbie muttered quietly.

Corrie must have heard this, but he just glanced at Debbie silently and did not comment. Instead, he said to his son Angel: "You must take your brother as a warning, and you must not become a selfish person. Selfishness will be spurned. Do you understand?"

"I see, father. Angell replied.

"How's the preparation for the first exam?"

"It's okay, father. ”

"But I've heard from your instructor that your archery skills are so bad that you can't pass it unless it's a miracle. ”

Angel lowered his head and ate silently, not daring to answer.

After a pause, my father continued: "Actually, we all know that you can't pass it, and my father and mother just don't want to regret it later." Try it anyway, what if there really is a miracle? Even if it doesn't...... That's normal, too. I'll put you in a job then. ”

"Father......" Angel looked up cautiously.

"Is there a problem?" asked Cory.

"I ...... Is it okay if I want to find a job on my own? I'll do it myself. ”

"Can you find it?" said Cory, looking a little surprised.

"Let me try. Angel said seriously: "How do you know if you don't try? What if you find it? If not, then ask my father to help me arrange it." ”

Quietly staring at his son, after a long while, Corry sighed softly, "I'm glad you have this idea, at least you're starting to try to rely on yourself." Many children have been unable to stand on their own because of too much help from their parents. I'm glad you weren't one of those kids. ”

"So...... Father, did you agree?" said Angel.

"Yes, I agreed. Curry nodded and said, "But there's a time limit." If you can't find a job within a month, follow my arrangement. Is that okay?"

"Yes, Father! Thank you, Father!"

"Also, don't be too picky when looking for a job. There will be no perfect work in this world. Everything has to start at the very beginning. It's okay to envy others, but don't be jealous of others. Be in a balanced mindset. It is necessary to first gain a foothold and then consider the issue of development. The biggest difference between maturity and naivety is that mature people will accommodate others and cooperate with others, while naïve people are selfish and only want others to accommodate themselves. If you don't get it, you will feel sorry for yourself, and you won't think about how to go down this road at all. In the end, they will only waste their time. Age is not necessarily related to maturity. ”

"Are you talking about me?" Debbie interjected coldly.

"No, of course not. Curry quickly explained, "I'm just educating children. After all, he's probably going to work soon. ”

Debbie slowly tilted her eyes away.

"Yes, Father. Angel happily replied, "I know, father!"

"You're looking for a job, I thought you'd go to the Academy of Magic!" the devil's voice sounded in Angel's head.

"No, I'm just going to school! So I can't ask him to help me find a job, I'll have to find it myself, even if it's fake! Otherwise, he'll put me on a job as a florist, and I won't be able to go to school at all!" Angel whispered in his head.

......

At this moment, Jones had also sat down with the Blood Elf Queen.

Location?

On one of the branches of the sacred tree. It looked like a hole in a huge tree branch, and the city was under the balcony. Standing on the balcony, you can see most of Cartier.

A long, oval-shaped table with the Blood Elf Queen Tini Shabas seated on one side, and the Blood Elf Archon Cornelia.

Cornelia changed into a black dinner dress.

Queen Tini Shabas looked very young, much younger than Cornelia, and even a little immature. He has long black hair and wears a crown woven of flowers. A face as delicate as if he were wearing a mask, sharp and delicate eyebrows, eyes that are always smiling, and eyes like black jewels. And the figure.

Among the elves, she must be considered short. It looks like the height of a human fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, probably more than one meter five, and definitely less than one meter six. Wearing a long white dress, it shimmered like a diamond under the candlelight next to it, which looked very luxurious.

On the other side of the long table sat Jones, Belle, Dora, and William.

I have to say, this dinner is really embarrassing. On the one hand, there are more guests than hosts. On the other hand, the guests don't eat at all.

Jones, Belle, and Dora all had plates and spoons of fish blood in front of them. William also had plates and spoons in front of him, but, presumably, as a sign of respect, the Blood Elf maids placed a flower on the plate.

Well, it's not empty, is it?

However, this obviously does not defuse the current awkward atmosphere, at least not completely.

Jones whispered induction to communicate with Belle.

"She looks so small......"

"It's normal. As far as I know, though, she's in her sixties. ”

"Aren't the blood elves in their sixties still minor?"

"Yes, not yet an underage. ”

"So we're going to negotiate with a minor 'person'?"

"Ahem!" Belle quickly coughed twice, looked at Jones, and then said to Jones with induction: "Didn't we also send underage 'people'?"

"Uh...... Well, I'm also underage. And I'm longer than she is an adult. ”

After a few moments of silence, the queen held out a hand and smiled, "Please." ”

At this "please", Belle was stunned: "What does she mean?

"I think so......" Jones turned his face sideways, and Jones saw Belle looking at him with a look of horror. On the other side, Dora lowered her head, which was almost buried under the table. Sneak a glance at Jones from time to time.

"Hydra Knight, please. Shaking her ears slightly, the queen repeated again, saying, "You are a guest, and you must be the first." ”

"Good, good. Jones had no choice but to bite the bullet, pick up a spoonful and scoop it, and feed it to his mouth. Of course, he didn't actually drink it, and when the spoon left his lips, there was actually no less fish blood in it, but he couldn't see it clearly when he sat in the queen's position.

When it was over, Jones smiled at the Queen.

The queen smiled back at him, scooped up a mouthful of soup, and took a sip.

Dora and Belle looked at each other, and immediately began to pretend to drink fish blood, following Jones's example.

William, who seemed to be isolated, silently looked at the only flower in front of him, hesitating to take it to his mouth and chew it twice.

"Her Royal Highness. Jones spoke, "I believe that Lady Cornelia has already told you the purpose of our trip, and we want Modo ore. ”

The queen glanced at Cornelia and replied with a smile, "Yes, she told me. ”

Cornelia smiled and nodded.

"In that case, I'd like to get straight to the point. Jones smiled and said, "I heard that the biggest reason why the blood elves oppose this is because Modo ore is the raw material for making magic weapons, and our magic weapons will be able to supply the human army." Your Royal Highness, you're not very much in favor of it, are you?"

"Yes. The queen smiled and replied bluntly: "Not 'not very much', but 'against', or 'very opposed'." ”

"Well, that's really an embarrassing thing to do. Jones continued: "I have an idea that should solve this problem. ”

You say. ”

Taking a deep breath, Jones said, "The Blood Elves oppose arming humans because they fear that they will pose a threat to the Blood Elves. Although it is true that arming them is part of the important strategy of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, and the target is not the Blood Elves, I think that these two sentences alone will definitely not be able to convince Her Highness the Queen. I remember when my father, Gray Grugru, was a paladin, and you wrote a letter to him, Your Majesty, asking for the opening of the ruins of Klimasha together. I know that Krimatha is a brilliant magical civilization. Once activated, the Blood Elves will reap huge benefits. In contrast, the armament acquired by humans is not worth mentioning and is completely unlikely to pose a threat. My proposal is that I will help the Blood Elves open the ruins of Krimatha and help them obtain the magical secrets of the ruins of Krimasha. In exchange, Your Highness allows you to export Modo ore to Snake City and increase your output. What do you think?"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
