Chapter 402: A Girl Who Has Lived for Five or Six Hundred Years (1/3)
In the East, the aristocracy is fast becoming a thing of the past, but the tradition of the ball has not been abolished.
After all, this thing is not only liked by nobles, but also by commoners.
So, after the dinner, there was a dance party in the Blue Hall.
According to Eastern etiquette, the host invites the guest to dance the first dance, and the guest accepts it as a sign of appreciation for the host's hospitality.
But the Moon Elf elders were all arrogant, and the Duke of Storm didn't have the courage to speak.
So Scarletana was the first to speak.
She is a powerful golden spirit, and the elven elders naturally give face.
So, Scarletana danced with a male elf.
She took the lead, and the Duke of Storm, the Duchess, Heya Garrie, and the half of Rosen's masters were also invited.
The Duke of Storm had a good eye and went to invite the most beautiful of Sellaya, but was refused.
The Duchess succeeded.
Heya Jiali invited a male elf, but was rejected on the grounds that the other party liked men, and invited Andraya instead, which was successful.
Duke Storm's mind was still active, and he immediately turned his head and invited the male elf who rejected his daughter, and he succeeded.
It was Lawson's turn.
Naturally, he was not interested in male elves, but there was only one female elf left on the field, so he was cheeky to invite.
"Ms. Selraya, can you enjoy the light and dance together?"
After saying that, sit back and wait for the other party to refuse.
Serraya glanced at Lawson, his eyes as cold as a cold star in the sky.
Just when Rosen thought that the other party was going to refuse, she put her hand wearing silver gauze gloves in Rosen's hand.
"Yes."
What a surprise.
As soon as the music started, Rosen took Serraya and danced on the dance floor to soothing dance music, as if he were walking.
I have to admit that this Serraya is amazingly beautiful, and her temperament is even more cold, as sharp and clear as the stars in the sky.
But this is an extraordinary powerhouse of another race, and Rosen doesn't dare to have the slightest idea, just in the spirit of etiquette, he tries his best to entertain guests.
After jumping for a while, seeing that Sayraya's face showed a little impatience, he immediately said, "Madam, you must be tired, why don't you just jump here?" β
didn't think about the other party but shook his head: "You will be mistaken, I'm just wondering, don't you keep your mouth shut when you dance?" β
Rosen said, "What topics are the ladies interested in?" Paintings, stories, or something else? β
Serraya thought for a moment and said, "I can paint myself, although I am not as good as you, but there is not much novelty." Well, the story is obviously not suitable for such an occasion. β
"Everyone says you're a master of logic, so why don't you say magic?"
Rosen didn't want to talk about this topic the most, but since the other party asked, he naturally wanted to talk about it, and after a little thought, he had a way to deal with it.
"To be honest, my reputation as a master of magic is a bit of a void. When they saw that I was an earl, and that I had status, they complimented me, and said good things to me, that I might give me a great reward. β
"And a master of logic and magic like me, there are countless golden places, and there are even more than mine."
"Really?"
Serraya was skeptical.
Rosen nodded: "You see, I'm just a level 1 archmage, and I'm still far from the peak, let alone extraordinary." What is such an achievement? β
"That's just as well."
Rosen immediately asked, "Ma'am, to be honest, this is the first time I've danced with a transcendent." I'm also curious about you and want to know more about you. β
"Then you just ask, I can answer if I can."
"Is your transcendent realm immortal or immortal?"
is immortal, then he is more relaxed, not confused, then be honest.
"Not confused. But you don't have to be afraid of me, for I don't like strife. β
"In addition, I am younger than my sister, and I have been in the realm of non-lost for less than 100 years when I first became promoted. My insight is far inferior to that of my sister, and I am far less perceptive than her. β
Rosen listened to this halfway, and made up his mind to maintain the greatest respect.
He continued, "Your sister, is it Lady Andraya?"
"That's right."
Lawson understood, and continued to ask: "I heard that the Moon Elves advocate the way of natural balance, and believe that the harmonious development of man and nature is the best. Is this true? β
"Nature is true."
"And I think the number of people in the Golden Lands, especially in the East, has increased so quickly that it's a disaster."
She had an incomprehensible look on her face.
Rosen didn't want to talk about the East, so he asked rhetorically, "Are there many elves on the island of Grent?" β
"It's a lot, and I think it's a bit crowded."
"Oh, how many?"
"10 million."
Rosen was surprised: "Madam, I heard that the total area of the island of Grent is about 30 million Rabang, which is equivalent to one elf living in three Rabang, which is much more crowded than the east." β
In addition, not all land is livable, so this population density is already quite high.
Although there are 40 million people in the east, the total area of Rabang has reached 120 million, which is equivalent to more than 3.5 million square kilometers of the earth, and there are still large areas of mountains and forests that have not been developed.
The eastern border is the smallest of the five realms, and the largest western border is 800 million Rabang. Of course, the place is desolate.
Serraya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "That's different. We elves are numerous, because we live long. β
"So, our numbers are increasing little by little, and people and nature have plenty of time to adjust their relationships."
That's right.
Rosen complimented, "What you said makes a lot of sense. β
A smile appeared on Serraya's face, and she commented in a condescending tone.
"Many people in the East think that we Moon Elves are closed and backward, but in fact, our race has an incomparably long history and has seen the rise and fall of countless races."
"If you want a race to survive for a long time, you need not only strength, but also the wisdom to control it."
"And it seems to me that the land of gold lacks this kind of wisdom, so there are often all kinds of turmoil."
"Naturally, there is no fear of small turmoil, but one day there will be huge turmoil, and once such a time appears, and there happens to be a powerful foreign race, then the race is in danger of extinction."
Putting aside the status quo of the two races, this is indeed very reasonable, and Rosen thinks so.
"Ma'am, you're right, we do lack the wisdom to control power."
When Serraya saw that her words were recognized, she was immediately very happy.
"I've heard that the Easterners are stubborn and arrogant, but you've subverted that preconceived notion of mine."
Rosen smiled, "It probably has something to do with my northern origins." β
"The North is a bitter place, far less prosperous than the East, and we Northerners are often despised. Of course, the northern realm is indeed inferior to the other realm, so I have developed the habit of humility. β
"Humility is a virtue. β
Then he added, "I have come all the way and heard many people speak ill of you, and now it seems that the basis of these bad words is jealousy, not truth. β
Rosen sighed lightly: "Probably because I was appreciated by Princess Morningstar, Her Royal Highness is the Rose of the Eastern Realm, and it is natural to be jealous, I have been mentally prepared." β
Serraya glanced at Heya Jiali not far away.
"She is indeed a beautiful person, and her spell cultivation is not bad, but if she fails to be promoted to transcendental, this beauty will soon wither."
Rosen immediately said, "We'll do our best." β
Serraya retracted her gaze, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Who is more beautiful than me or your fiancΓ©e?" β
Rosen was stunned, he didn't expect to encounter this kind of problem.
But when you think about it, you can understand it, because Seiraya's appearance is also the best among the elves, and she is naturally praised by all kinds of praise on weekdays, and over time, she will naturally have a sense of self-satisfaction.
When you meet a beauty, you will naturally make comparisons.
As soon as I thought about it, I had already thought of a saying that two ends should not be offended.
"My fiancΓ©e is the flower blooming on the earth, delicate and charming, and you are the star in the sky, distant and eternal. Isn't it clear who is high and who is low? β
There is another sentence at the end: 'Compared to the stars that cannot be reached, I still like flowers.' β
But this sentence naturally can't be said, don't think about it, so as not to be noticed by the other party.
Serraya was delighted: "It seems that Master Lawson not only has amazing drawing skills, but also has a lovely sweet mouth. It was a pleasure to chat with you. β
Speaking of which, the dance music ends.
The second scene was casual, and Rosen pulled Heya Jiali to a seat on the dance floor to chat with a few archmages.
After chatting for a while, Serraya actually came over and took the initiative to invite.
"Master Rosen, how about another dance?"
Lawson was stunned and looked at Heya Jiali.
The latter covered his mouth and chuckled, and replied in a voice of his heart: "Promise, after all, it is a guest." β
Rosen had no choice but to accept the invitation.
Soon he was back on the dance floor and continued to dance on a walk.
"Master Rosen, my sister believes that the Golden Terran is the trend of the times, and believes that we must keep up with this trend in order to save our race from being eliminated by the times."
"What do you think?"
This was to the point, and Rosen was in good spirits and in full spirit.
He smiled and shook his head: "Ms. Siraya, I am not yet 20 this year, that is, I have only been in this world for less than 20 years. β
"In such a short period of time, it is not enough for me to accumulate the wisdom to see through the development trend of the times. And in fact, I'm more curious about what you think? β
Serraya nodded in agreement with Rosen's words, "You are indeed too small, much smaller than several of my nieces, as if you were a baby who was born not long ago. β
"But the good thing is that you have the advantage of humility, and with this merit, you will surely be able to accumulate wisdom and insight quickly."
"Of course, I am not shy to share my views with you."
Seirraya thought for a moment and said, "I also think that my clan needs to make some changes and increase communication with the outside world, but when it comes to intermarrying with the human race, I think it is too much. β
"After all, the lifespan of the two sides is not equal, the lifespan of our civilians is more than 300, and the life span of the high-level royal family is more than 500, if it is promoted to extraordinary, it will be even longer."
"And the life span of the golden human race is generally less than 100, and the two parties intermarry, one is still young, and the other is already dying, which is a huge spiritual damage to both parties, and it is really not compatible."
"Therefore, I think it is enough to strengthen communication, and as for intermarriage, it is not a forced order, it depends on personal wishes."
Rosen admired from the bottom of his heart: "Ma'am, I think what you said is very reasonable, and it is a good idea to do this by keeping the Moon Elves open while also taking care of tradition. β
Sera Ya smiled, "It's a pleasure to have your approval."
"It's a pity that my sister doesn't agree."
She sighed softly, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She believes that the wisdom of the crowd is blind and the pursuit of comfort in the majority, but the progress of the times is drastic and ruthless, so it is necessary to break the tradition quickly, even if it is worth the sacrifice.
"Hey~ To be honest, I think this also makes sense, so I feel a little dazed."
It can be seen that she is really dazed, so that she falls into deep thought, and dances with Rosen like a marionette.
Rosen was completely coping with a diplomatic task, and when he saw that the other party did not speak, he fell silent and danced seriously.
After dancing for a while, Serraya suddenly spoke: "Master Rosen, do you think that in marriage, affection is necessary?" β
"Personally, I don't think it's necessary, but it's better to have."
"Otherwise, two people live with the same face all day long, as if two rough stones are dry grinding, which is really terrible."
Serlaya nodded in agreement: "Hmm~ I think you're right, but my sister doesn't think it's necessary, she thinks that marriage is to continue the race." β
Rosen moved and asked, "Ms. Selraya, you haven't experienced marriage?" β
"Nope."
"Why?"
"I don't know why, when I was a mortal, there were male elves pursuing me. When I get promoted to transcendental, there will be no more. β
"And I'm a girl, I can't take the initiative to chase after me, right?"
Rosen suddenly felt some sympathy: "It turned out to be a girl~~ No wonder it is as cold as an iceberg." β
It seems that he is at least five or six hundred years old, and he has not yet experienced a complete life, so that although he has some wisdom, he still unconsciously shows a trace of childishness.
It's really pitiful.
After the second dance, Lawson returned to the dance floor to rest.
There were about five performances in one night, and soon the third music sounded, and Lawson, afraid of being invited again, immediately pulled Heya Jiali to dance.
Out of the corner of his eye, good guy, Sayraya actually sat on the sidelines and watched himself jump.
I felt more and more sympathy in my heart: 'Okay, okay, if you look for me again, I'll dance with you.' β
As a result, the fourth and fifth games were really occupied by Sayraya, and he didn't concentrate on dancing, so he chatted with Lawson.
What else can Lawson do, do his best to accompany and chat.
After the last dance, Serraya invited, "Paint me a portrait tomorrow, okay?" β
"As you wish."
When she got into the carriage and returned to the Blue Rose Garden, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
"Brother, I think that beautiful elf has taken a fancy to you."
Scarletana agrees: "I think so, and I think Rosen has made a brilliant move for the alliance of the two races!" β
Rosen was speechless: "Sage, I already have three wives. I think that even if they get married, they should not look for me, but for Carrie's younger brother. β
His wife really has enough!
Heya Jiali nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, the three of them are just right now, and the chat is usually lively, and if there is more, it will be a meeting." β
Scarlet Tana spread her hands: "The six elven elders are all transcendental, and three of them are not maze powerhouses. β
"And the father is not there, in terms of extraordinary power alone, the moon elves with the three saints of the elves are actually stronger than us."
In terms of the number of transcendental beings, it is naturally a lot of golden land, and there are many more.
But the strongest Golden Holy Spirit Davorence is only the peak of the Immortal Realm, but the three Elven Saints are all powerhouses in the middle of the Immortal Realm.
Extraordinary energy bandwidth, the gap between the strong and the weak is huge, really fighting, the golden god clan without the golden god is not the opponent of the moon elf.
Scarletana concluded, "I think that since Andraya has shown the idea of forming an alliance, it is best not to let go of this good opportunity. β
"After all, one more ally, one less opponent, one increase and one decrease, which is greatly conducive to the security of the golden land."
She looked at Lawson.
"Marriage may not be necessary, but for the sake of the bigger picture, you have to appease Sirraya's emotions."
Scarletana had already taken a step back, and what she said made sense, and Rosen nodded: "I will." β
The further you go, the harder it is to write.
If you change the text and write a new chapter every day, you have to exercise to maintain your physical energy, you are too busy to breathe, the characters are portrayed, and the storyline will inevitably be rough.
Therefore, the three watches will be resumed for the time being.
