Elves always stay in their own forests, even in the face of invasion they only drive the enemy out, they rarely leave the forest on which they live to participate in battles, not because they leave the forest to become vulnerable, but because the reproduction of elves is extremely difficult, and each elf is as precious as the moon stone. Elves have the longest lifespan of any race except halflings and dragons, but they can only give birth to two children in this long lifespan, which is average, if there are three children, it is an additional blessing from the goddess of life, and if they can give birth to a fourth child, oh, and for that they must go to the temple to thank the goddess of life for her generosity.

Marlowe's mother, Gina Vivia Moonflower, used to be unusually noble, and of course, this was before she married the orc Tunak Warcry. Now Gina is sitting in her home in Twin Springs Castle sewing the beautiful clothes that her guests custom-made, and in addition to the elves who can create sharp and elaborate weapons, their sewing of elaborate clothes is also popular with many races, especially the human nobles who seek luxury.

In order to enter the temple and pray to the goddess of life, Gina had to make a compromise with Elder Ani, who was in charge of the temple, which even the sister of the queen of the Lunaris Forest, Enya Vivia Moonflower, could not do anything.

Eventually, with tears in her eyes, Gina swore in the temple that she would never meet her husband, Tonak Warcry, for the rest of her life, and that she would never leave the Shadowmoon Forest without permission.

Surprisingly, when Gina prayed for the blessing of the goddess of life, the goddess of life and the goddess of nature rained down the divine light of white and turquoise at the same time, which surprised everyone who presided over the blessing ceremony. It was a great blessing to be able to give birth to a half-breed in Gina's womb, but I didn't expect the goddess of nature to take the initiative to get involved, which meant that the natural magic used by the proud elves would also be mastered by a half-breed with orc blood.

Soon, the news spread quietly in the Shadow Moon Forest, and the elves would not oppose the goddesses' decision, but this would not prevent them from transferring the discrimination and dissatisfaction in their hearts to Gina, at this time Gina took the initiative to ask to go to Twin Springs Fort to live alone, where there is a small fountain of life, where Gina and the child in her womb will not worry about their lives.

After some deliberation between the Queen of the Shadow Moon Forest and the Elders, or rather the negotiation between Enya and the Elders, Gina's request was finally agreed, but Gina must abide by her original vow and not leave Twin Springs Fort without permission in this life.

Shuangquan Fort, a unique and strange city on the mainland, is inhabited by many races on the continent, and they come to live in this city for various reasons, in addition to goblins and human merchants who love gold coins to do business here, there are also young people of various races who come here to study.

You can see most of the races on the continent here, such as dwarves, goblins, humans, elves, orcs, gnomes, trolls, etc., as well as some strange-looking hybrids, but the real ruler of the city is the rare race of halflings on the continent, according to legend, they are the first beings created by the creator gods, they have a longer life and history than the elves, and the magic is extremely powerful.

There are even rumors that the halflings are the closest gods in the world, but now the halflings are almost extinct, and they are not by nature like dragons who have an almost pathological obsession with gold, nor are they like humans who have a powerful greed for power, and unlike orcs who care about every inch of land, they are just halflings, a group of halflings who live in Twin Springs and enjoy a peaceful life.

Because of the strength of the halflings, other races had to give up their greed for possession of Twin Springs, and no race would be arrogant enough to challenge a group of demigods, as well as the three-headed dragons who helped manage taxes in the city.

Perhaps life is too long and lonely, the owners of Twin Springs have shown a heart far beyond the other races to accept the arrival of other races, and of course, they must come with kindness and peace.

Marlowe was born in this strange city, studied and grew up here, and has been seventeen years now, and if he was in the orc tribe, he would have almost had his own children.

"Mother, we're back. Marlowe left the two fur-filled packages in the doorway, and then took off his linen boots made of rhinoceros skin and entered the house, followed by a sullen Arya.

Maintaining the ecological balance in the jungle and learning to control the greed in the heart for selective hunting is Gina's long-standing teaching, greed will only bring disaster to the angry goddess of nature, so Marlowe and Arya only chose a short-horned deer and the hapless jungle wolf this time. What's more, the money that Gina sews clothes in exchange for is enough for the family's expenses, so hunting is in a large sense a kind of exercise for Marlowe and Arya.

Hearing the child's voice, Gina put down the thin needle wearing gold wire, got up and went to the living room and asked, "Why did you come back so early this time?"

Alia, who was still a bitter gourd face just now, showed a sweet smile at this time and replied first: "Brother Marlowe can already use the two kinds of magic you taught him very skillfully, so we decided to come back to accompany you early." ”

"Oh, really?"

Marlowe knew that Arya would never give herself any chance to speak for the rest of her life, although he did not intend to tell the truth, lest poor Arya would be taught by her mother for the next few days.

Facing his mother's questioning, and then looking at Alya, who looked nervous, Marlowe suddenly wanted to tease the other party, and he shook his head vigorously without hesitation.

"Huh?" Gina was very familiar with these two little guys, and she had played out countless times like today, but this was the first time she had seen Marlowe shake her head against Arya's words.

A look of bewilderment immediately appeared on Arya's small face, and she scrambled to hug Marlowe's head to prevent him from continuing to shake his head.

Seeing Arya's panicked look, Marlowe finally showed a smug smile that had succeeded in his prank, and then he nodded in agreement with Arya's words.

Gina smiled and watched the two children who were brought up in one hand frolicking in front of her, and her heart was extremely happy and satisfied.

"Alright, don't play tricks on little Arya, go wash up, and drink some water from the Fountain of Life. Gina knew a lot from the subtle expressions of the two of them, but she didn't plan to delve into it, and let them keep the little secrets between the two children.

Watching Arya take her mother's arm and walk into the inner room, Marlowe was extremely envious, for no other reason, because pure-blooded jungle elves seem to be born immune to dirt and other dirty things, and rarely sweat, and there will be no smell in the body when running outside for a few days, Marlowe has no such talent, so he always comes home covered in sweat.
