Chapter 020: The Temptation to Change Careers
From a distance, the people in front of the treehouse said a few more words to each other, and then they all left, only the elder and an acquaintance that Ero said were standing there, and the acquaintance, of course, was Wei'er.
"Little human ones, welcome to the Garland tribe. β
When Sirin walked about ten paces away from them, the old man said happily.
"Hello, Honorable Tribal Elder!" Cillin walked up to the old man and gave a standard elven salute.
Seeing him salute so calmly and elegantly, Jesse's eyes almost fell to the ground, this guy always surprises people.
"Haha...... You're welcome, just go inside and say, standing outside isn't elven hospitality. The elder said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you very much, Elder, please. Xilin replied.
"Uh...... Then you're welcome, hehe...... Wei'er, you go make some tea first. With that, the elven elder glanced at Xilin and stepped into the treehouse.
Sirin and the others followed, it was their first time in the Elven Tribe, and the strange treehouses were enough to interest them.
"The contents of this treehouse are worth a lot of gold. Arrin whispered as he touched Gar beside him with his elbow.
From the outside, these tree houses are just strange shapes, nothing else, but there are no holes in this house, not to mention the pattern, just a variety of rare furnishings, as long as you take out a few pieces and put them in the human world, it can be regarded as a lot of wealth.
"You may be seated. Looking at the appearance of the Xilin people, the elder smiled and said, "There are very few humans in the tribe who come, and sometimes they are just speculative businessmen, so don't worry about the eyes of our people." β
"What do you say about the elder, I have come to thank the elder for saving his life today. With that, Cillin and Jesse stood up.
"Haha...... You're welcome, just sit down and talk. The elven elder said, "I have heard about what happened on the road when you came to Wisna, but I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Emer, and I am Eero's grandfather. β
Emer's smile was very kind, and it was natural to feel a lot of closeness and kindness.
"Elder Emer, I've always had a question on my mind. β
"Well, the young man is straightforward, unlike us old fellows, who are slowly getting old, but they are all becoming like essences one by one, hehe......" Emer stroked his beard and said, "I know what you want to ask, I tell you that you are entrusted by someone, I guess the little one can guess who it is." Emer said, rubbing his beard.
"Well, thank you, Elder Emer. Xilin said with a knowing smile.
Xilin actually had some conjectures in his heart, but he was not sure yet, but after listening to Emer's words, he knew who it was, except for the mysterious elder who had been taking care of himself in secret, he couldn't think of anyone else who would do this, as for the general, Xilin didn't think that the general would be so familiar with the elders of the elf clan.
"Well...... The Kelly family, that family has produced a lot of celebrities, I hope you can be like your ancestors, hehe...... Very nice little guy. Emer said as he looked at Jesse.
"Thank you, Elder!" Jesse said, apparently knowing someone from his own family.
"Grandpa, the tea is ready. Wei'er walked in with light steps.
"Well, let's give a few guests a taste first. Emer said with a smile, looking at Valle dotingly.
A few people chatted in the room, and after a while, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Elder." β
"What's the matter?"
"Elder, the merchants of Oruna have come to trade with our people, and I have come to ask for your opinion. A young elf walked in and said.
"Well, I'll go over now, you go first. β
"Yes, Elder. With that, the man withdrew, but glanced at Sirin slightly, but it was not the indifference in the eyes of ordinary elves, but a kind of hostility.
This glance can disgust Xilin, and he didn't recruit him or provoke him, so Xilin came to a conclusion in his heart: this guy may be suffering from some kind of disease.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the trade of our elven race, although it is not as prosperous as your human world, but it also has some characteristics, and our elven clan also likes your human things. Emer said, slowly standing up.
"Well, it's good that we also want to have a good look at the scenery of the tribe. Cillin said.
Several people got up and walked out.
They had not gone far, and in front of them was a clearing, from where the small river from which they had come had passed.
At this time, there were several carriages parked in the clearing, which were the standard carriages of the Roland Empire.
"These guys are really speculative. Jesse pouted.
In the distance, he saw an elf walking up to a merchant with an opal the size of a broad bean, and then changed to a small rag doll made in a handicraft workshop, which was really crazy.
That opal is worth at least fifty gold coins, and fifty gold coins can buy a room of dolls.
The purchasing power of the gold coins of the Roland Empire is still very strong, just a simple example, the monthly salary of the commoners of the empire is only a few gold coins, and a bun is only a copper coin on the market, and a gold coin can buy a thousand, and an ordinary family can't eat it all in a month.
A single piece of stuff here was worth fifty gold coins, and the people of Xilin all felt the urge to commit suicide, or they had already begun to think about making rag dolls instead.
The trade was very lively, not only the human traders were smiling from ear to ear, but even the elves who bought the dolls were bouncing back to their treehouses, and as for those who didn't buy them, they were obviously a little unhappy.
"A few of you have also seen that my elves are very fond of those beautiful things, of course, that is only the majority of women, as for Eero, they prefer human weapons. β
Emer said, turning his head to look at Eero next to him, he knew that Eero had also traded with those merchants when he had not been out of the Elven Forest.
Being stared at by his grandfather, Ero was obviously a little overwhelmed.
"Haha, alright, let's meet that old fellow Andre, he's made a lot of gold in my clan, that black-hearted guy. Emer said with a smile.
In that clearing there were only a few ordinary traders and a few carts, but AndrΓ© would not trade in person, he was very popular wherever he went, and of course, comfortable hospitality.
When Cilin followed Emer to the door of a large tree house, Cillin saw the mountain of animals inside at a glance, but it can also be said that it was His Excellency Knight Andre.
