Lin Jue sat in the office of the Governor's Mansion for a long time, and it was getting dark, and it was already approaching evening.

Lin Yue was about to light the oil lamp, but Lin Jue waved his hand to stop it.

"Anyway, it's okay today, let's go downstairs and get some food. ”

Downstairs, the only place to eat near the Governor's Mansion is the Sycamore Tree Bar, although it is called a bar, but the operators are at least the original team of the Big Banyan Tree Restaurant, and when Lin Jue first set up this bar, there was also a business scope such as catering, and many adventurers still wanted to come here to taste a fairy food.

In addition to Lin Yue, there is another person in the office, that is Lu Haoyue, the secretary of Dali Temple, who has been in Phoenix City for almost two weeks, but he has no intention of leaving, Lin Jue really can't figure it out, does she really not have to return to China to deal with official business?

After all, Lu Haoyue's main purpose was to come to the Eastern Continent to investigate the whereabouts of the church nearby, and to make trouble by the way, and the church's plan had gone bankrupt, a fleet of three ships, one of which was all missing, one was almost dead, and one had defected as a pirate.

Lin Jue had already handed over the two notebooks to her a week ago, originally thinking that once she felt that it was no longer meaningful to continue to stay in the Eastern Continent, she would leave on her own.

Unexpectedly, she also read the notes, and the mess in the Sea of Mists no longer made any sense, but as a result, she was like she really came to work for herself, commuting to and from work on time every day, and she was more active than him as a governor in her work, but she didn't have any intention of leaving.

Over time, Lin Jue became numb, she can do whatever she likes, and she should be without her.

Of course, this is just thinking about it in my heart, Lin Jue doesn't dare to really be without her, since he wants to eat, Lu Haoyue still has to be called, I really don't know who works for whom, who is the boss.

At this moment, it is the spring and winter communication season, the day is still short, the sky is as thick as ink, and the moon, which is as smooth as jade, has hung high in the moon sky, like a mirror. Lin Jue estimates that if there is an accurate clock calculation, the current time is estimated to be around 5 to 6 pm.

The Doge's Palace is very quiet, although it is only separated from the outside world by a wall, it is like two worlds, and outside the Doge's Palace, it is very lively.

And the source of this bustle is just across from the Doge's Palace, this towering tree, the Sycamore Tree Bar.

Light music wafted out from the wide open door of the bar, spread throughout the street, accompanied by the sound of pedestrians, creating a very relaxed atmosphere, although there was still a long distance from the door of the bar, but Lin Jue's original depressed mood in the office was swept away by this atmosphere.

In fact, from the outside, this towering tree does not look like a tree with a wide trunk like a banyan tree, but once you cross the door of this bar, just from the analysis of the diameter of the trunk, you will never guess that there will be such a large space inside, as wide as a large movie theater.

It's not so much a bar as a sprawling restaurant, with drinkers and chatters, Quint players, mercenaries, sailors, workers, magicians, and some other race that doesn't know their profession, and only those who dine here make up the majority.

Eltanis became the steward here, according to the name of the elf family, more people like to call her the shopkeeper, only Lin Jue is the only one, who likes to call her the shopkeeper.

Passing the bustling crowd, Lin Jue and the three of them came to the front of the counter, Eltanis was looking at the three of them with a smile, and she noticed the three of them from the moment Lin Jue stepped into the store, after all, the Sycamore Tree Bar was established by him, although Lin Jue didn't care about these details, he could entertain the big owner, and it was always warmer.

"Your Excellency, what do you want?"

Lin Jue discharged a lot of money on the counter and said, "Wen three bowls of wine, and another plate of fennel beans." ”

"Huh?" Eltanis looked at Lin Jue with a puzzled expression.

"It's rare, it's the first time I've seen the Governor come to eat with a copper plate, but what is a fennel bean?" Eltanis wondered.

Lin Jue scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's nothing, I was thinking about a text just now, and I accidentally said something wrong, three glasses of mead, and then ...... Serve a small dish. ”

Eltanis smiled, "Okay, please wait a moment, and the few of you can find your own place to sit down." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her cotton-gloved hand and carefully put away the copper coin.

All the shops opened by the elves in the human world have one thing in common, that is, they will use a separate small box to store the copper coins obtained from the transaction, and the Sycamore Tree Bar is no exception, I saw Eltanis carefully slide these copper plates into the small box, and when the last copper plate also fell, she quickly closed the box and breathed a sigh of relief.

I haven't been here for a long time, but Lin Jue forgot that elves generally don't accept copper coins, but copper coins are the main circulating currency of human beings after all, and since they do business in human territory, elves always have to follow the local customs.

In the Elven Kingdom, their circulating currency is only gold coins, a small amount of silver coins for change, and their unique crystal coins, of which crystal coins are the highest level of currency, after all, in their cognition, it is completely unimaginable how copper can be used as currency.

As for the reason, Lin Jue simply thought that in their economic system, collecting copper coins was a very troublesome thing, and maybe after collecting the money, they would have to find time to exchange it for silver coins or gold coins.

However, what he did not know, it should be said, few people knew the real reason for their reluctance to accept copper coins.

Because the elves have a characteristic, that is, they cannot touch the element copper.

For elves, copper is no different from the Flood Beast.

Once the elf touches copper, if it is an object with a less pure copper element, it will only cause a slight vertigo.

If the copper element is very pure, for them, it is tantamount to touching a soldering iron that has been burned red by charcoal, and it feels like they are burning.

There are no signs of burns on the skin that comes into contact with it, but the burning sensation is real.

This is perhaps one of the elves' greatest weakness, and one that they are careful not to make clear to any other race.

Lin Jue didn't know about this, and he wouldn't care about Ertanis's nervous mood because of the copper coin, after all, the diners or drinkers all stepped into here with a relaxed mood, even the most shrewd mercenary, or the most rigorous magician, even Lu Haoyue, who had handled countless cases, would not notice these details.

The three of them listened to cheerful music, randomly found a free seat by the window, sat down, chatted casually, and waited for the food to be served.
