Chapter 400: The Culture of Pyathaime
However, when it comes to the national policies of other countries, of course, someone has no room for beaks, because that is the path on which they live.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the elves' allocation of residences, there are still many ownerless empty houses in the royal capital of Paiyat Haime. This is because of the war of annihilation thousands of years ago, and the elves chose to retreat in order to continue their lives.
When the Dark Ages ended, they returned to their original locations and returned to their homeland. However, the surviving elves have not been able to restore the population to the extent that it was in the heyday of the kingdom. It can be seen how deep the damage of that level of war is to these longevity species.
But the hopelessly romantic nature of the racial character has prevented them from tilting their national power towards the military sphere and ignoring the people's livelihood aspect, like some countries on the planet. The enjoyment of the elves' lives, all kinds of spiritual food are still developing vigorously.
After the dinner, the group was taken to an opera house-like place, where of course elves were performing, and they were all young people. Music, dance, nothing bad. The dancers are as soft as bones, and their every move is full of temptation. The performers also put their heart and soul into making the listeners feel the passion they want to express.
But the people on stage are, by the standards of the earth, a group of young performers who are amateurs, and they will also use such occasions to express their feelings to their admirers. Despite this, in a world where entertainment is scarce, the opera house of the Elven Kingdom is still the most desirable place for most of the nobles and the rich and leisure, and they are proud to have visited it.
Of course, those young lads want to show themselves and express their love for all kinds of reasons, and they all want to be on such a stage. Just hearing that the people on the stage were ordinary young men who might be around her, Harumi was eager to try.
But let's be honest, the elves' hard performances only make someone feel drowsy. Instead of watching a classical bel canto feast, it would be better for someone to give him a small screen, a pair of headphones, and a 24-hour Marvel movie to beat the level. Then the subtitle is: Don't press the pause button, see who explodes first.
However, this night, someone thought that the elves would find an opportunity to cut to the chase, but in the midst of various entertainment programs, it was late at night.
Personally bringing the guests to the guest house, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Luca? Titov first saluted the silverbearded dwarves and said, "O old allies, tomorrow our king will meet you. There will be a state banquet to entertain you, and I hope you will feel at home. So get some rest tonight. ”
Immediately afterward, the old elf came to someone again and said cautiously, "Your Excellency Wizard Tripwood, I will officially receive a few of you tomorrow. We have a lot of questions for you, and we look forward to letting you know at that time. Of course, this is not a gratuitous effort. We understand that the knowledge of a magician is a priceless treasure, but if you are willing to give it to those who need it for a limited fee, you will be able to reap the rewards of our friendship. Tonight, please have a good rest. ”
The carriage and luggage of the old elf's house were all sent by him in advance to the place where everyone was staying. The goods above have not been passive in the slightest. This is a merit that the elves are quite proud of, and there are no thieves in the kingdom of Pyathaime. The road is not left behind, and the night is only a basic operation for them.
In fact, it is easy to understand from their point of view, if most of the things that the elves need to live are distributed by the kingdom so that all the elves can live without worry, then the private property that will be kept by the elves must be the kind of items that are quite commemorative and unique, and these items will definitely be known by most people.
After all, the society of elves is very small, and there are not many new things in life, so as long as there is some wind and grass, one elf knows, equal to all elves know.
So in such a situation, the chances of stealing someone else's things and wanting to not be detected are very, very small. Unless something is stolen, it is never taken out to use or show off to others. On the other hand, the arrogance of most of the elves also made them disdain to do such behavior. Besides, they are more interested in spiritual satisfaction than these material things that can be replaced.
As for the small number of people, according to them, they just can't stand the atmosphere in the kingdom, and most of them wander outside. When they have seen enough of the darkness outside, these elves will naturally return to their hometown. To understand all this repression is to survive. Of course, there are a handful of people who never return......
And it seems that the elves value their 'ancient allies' more, but in fact, whether it is Lin and the others, or the silverbearded dwarves, they are treated similarly. If you really want to talk about the difference, it is the various items in the dwarf room, and the elves have carefully chosen the utensils that match their height and habits.
The single room is not very spacey, but it has a variety of amenities for personal use, such as a vanity mirror, comb, dressing gown, etc. The bed has a faint fragrance, which will not be noticeable if you don't smell it carefully, but it is just right to make people unconsciously relax their body and mind. If this is placed on the earth, at least it is a star-rated hotel.
Such a comfortable environment, a rare quiet night, makes someone fall asleep as soon as they touch the bed. After traveling abroad for a long time, I will miss the life of home; If you stay at home for a long time, you will want to travel. People are so contradictory. But on the first day of life change, the fatigue of the previous journey, or the burnout of staying at home, will be released in one go. At times like these, people are always very relaxed.
Outside the window, a kitten climbed the wall with its claws hidden in the edge of the meat ball, and finally climbed onto the windowsill. I saw someone sleeping on his stomach, his petite body seemed to want to enter the house, and his short legs kept stretching, as if he was looking for a suitable place to jump, and retracted for fear of losing his balance.
After a few times, the kitten meowed a few times with its milky sound, and as if she had made up her mind, her four legs were slightly bent, ready to make a jump.
This accumulation, the qi machine pulled, and another layer of darkness silently and quickly covered the entire room. The kitten instantly exploded, arched its back, and screamed in a milky voice. At the same time, he lost his balance and fell to the ground from the narrow ledge. The kitten, which fell heavily to the ground, seemed to have not been harmed, and its body flipped nimbly, and ran away wildly.
The starry sky in the room twinkled, as if human eyes were blinking, watching the petite figure disappear into the darkness. Then the starlight vanished, everything returned to normal, and someone was rightfully unaware of what had happened while he was asleep.
Early the next morning, two luxurious, manned carriages arrived in front of the reception center. One was a silver-bearded dwarf from the Elven royal family, and the Praetorian Guard personally came to greet the four distinguished guests, who had not appeared on the surface for thousands of years. The other car is from the prime minister of the kingdom, although the specifications are not as luxurious as those of the royal family, but Riena? Titov, the elven sword dancer, personally escorted the team.
However, Lin still found one thing, that is, the two carriages were actually of the same size. It's just that it's covered on the outside, the coat of arms is different, and the person in charge of the reception obviously has a different affiliation. It is estimated that to some extent, this is an official car.
But regardless of whether he is an official car or not, at least the elf knows how to work on comfort. It's not like the dwarves, it's stupid, it's stupid, it's the same temperament as the old hairy people in the north of their hometown, or it's just that they pay attention to some strange places. Sitting in the carriage used by the elves to pick up and drop off guests, the flannel chair has a softness that is not inferior to that of the sofa, and for a moment reminds someone of the life before the crossing.
As soon as they got into the car, the two girls deliberately sat on the chair and flicked, surprised to feel the comfort brought by the car. This is also something that cannot be helped, someone's journey, the carriage is mainly to carry all their belongings, and they can't take into account the comfort of the ride at all. So everyone is enjoying the treatment of not having to walk on their own, at the cost of having to sit on a cold wooden plank.
The carriage walked on the road to the royal palace. After having a deeper understanding of this country, Lin looked at the scenery along the road and felt more indescribable and unclear.
In particular, he carefully observed the elves who were walking down the street in the early morning. Although there is no vigorous vitality, there is definitely no twilight like backwater. Just like the character of the elves, they look plain on the outside, but they are enthusiastic on the inside.
The two carriages were separated at the gate of the royal palace. The royal family that the dwarves are going to meet is in the inner palace, that is, the place where the elven royal family lives; The prime minister of the kingdom that Lin and the others were going to see was in the office of the outer palace.
The palace occupies a vast area, and the elf-style pastoral landscape in particular is a must in someone's eyes. It is not the European and American courtyard style of the earth, which emphasizes neatness and seems to be too heavy with axe and chisel marks; It is also not like a Chinese-style courtyard, which pursues natural curiosity in a vain attempt to include heaven and earth in a small world.
The landscaping of the elves' courtyard is not so much a landscaping as a fortification unique to the elves. A variety of highly aggressive plants, cultivated at staggered intervals. It could be flowers, it could be leaves, it could be the smell that came to your nose inadvertently, threatening all who dared to invade this palace.
Especially those who like to hide in the shadows and think they are good at kung fu. Imagine what will happen if you make a small gesture next to the drooling mouth of the evil dragon. Those people probably looked so miserable.
And every grass and tree in the courtyard of the palace, Halumi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to get out of the carriage and enjoy the 'flowers'. She can even tell the names of these plants, their characteristics, their talents, and their attack patterns. Of course, more importantly, she is quite aware of the weaknesses, or deficiencies, of these plants.
As the carriage passed, the blonde girl even put her hand out of the window and stroked a special plant, the huge and bright flower. Seeing that the other elves were worried, their eyes were about to bulge.
The plant that Harumi touched was the famous man-eating flower in the palace. Not to mention the enemy, even the gardener in charge of the courtyard among the elves does not know how many people have had their arms bitten off. I haven't heard of anyone who has let that flower go, but there is one in front of me.
Eventually, the carriage stopped in front of a simple and unpretentious building. In the elves, they pay attention to spiritual satisfaction, even if it is a house with uniform specifications, they can play different tricks. Then the unpretentious itself is the most special existence.
A group of old men with white beards lined up in front of the building. Looking at this battle, someone doesn't think that this is a highly valued attitude, but rather like a dismount.
Who said elves don't have black bellies. Someone wouldn't be naïve enough to think that he's so important that he needs to be greeted by such a line.
